Not allowing him to think too much, those black-clothed swordsmen had already rushed all the way.
"Why haven't the people from the Yuan family come yet?" Zhou Xingbang took a closer look at those people and said to Zhao Yuanji suspiciously.
This time, the elites of their various families, as well as the slain soldiers trained for many years, and the masters hired with a lot of money, of course contacted the Yuan family in advance, but the strange thing is that until now, no one from the Yuan family has appeared.
"Perhaps something has delayed it." Zhao Yuanji said in a deep voice.
"Today's battle is related to the life and death of our family, what could be more important than this?" Zhou Xingbang said shaking his head.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanji was also a little puzzled.
"Patriarch Zhao, do you think that old fox from the Yuan family has changed his mind?" Zhou Xingbang said worriedly.
It stands to reason that the Zhou family, the Zhao family and the Yuan family have joined forces to fight against the Mu family over the years. When one person appeared, the situation seemed a little weird.
Zhao Yuanji remained silent, and suddenly felt inexplicable irritability in his heart: Did I miss something
…
The head of the Yuan family, the old master of the Yuan family, was sitting on that ancient grand master's chair, staring at Yuan Tianbo in front of him for a long time.
Several masters hired with a lot of money surrounded him, and Qin Li, who had just recovered from his injuries, was also among them. Looking at it like that, they were clearly not protecting him, but putting him under house arrest.
"Are you really determined to put all your eggs in one basket, regardless of the consequences?" After a long time, the elder patriarch said.
Although he was under house arrest under the leadership of his own grandson, there was no trace of anger or sadness on his face, as calm as an old well.
"Grandfather, it's not me, but you who are putting all their eggs in one basket. Do you really think we can destroy the Mu family? Believe me, don't be an enemy of the Mu family anymore, let alone participate in today's events, otherwise, our Yuan family will definitely have something to lose." A catastrophe." Yuan Tianbo shook his head and said to his grandfather resolutely.
"Oh, you have so much confidence in the Mu family?" The elder Patriarch looked at Yuan Tianbo strangely.
This time, even if their Yuan family didn't participate, there would still be Zhao Zhou, Xu Cao and the others. The masters of the four families have all come out, no matter how you look at it, the Mu family is doomed. Even if they can't cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, the Mu family's vitality will be severely injured, and they will have no power to counterattack, and the few of them can also benefit from it. However, Yuan Tianbo had so much confidence in the Mu family that he even put himself under house arrest against the will of the world. Where did his confidence come from
"It's not that I have confidence in the Mu family, it's just that... Mu Hanyan is by no means something we can contend with. Even if we can gain the upper hand this time and even kill the entire Mu family, Mu Hanyan will not die. As long as he doesn't die, one day, we will pay a heavy price for what happened today, and even destroy our entire family." After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Tianbo still looked straight into his grandfather's eyes and said resolutely.
When Mu Hanyan approached him last time, he was hesitant. Even after thinking about it, agreeing to Mu Hanyan's request out of ambition, and sending the secret letter, he was still uneasy and unable to make a final decision.
But later, when Mu Hanyan appeared in front of him again, he knew that no matter how well-planned their big families were this time, they would not escape the fate of failure. Even if they succeeded by luck, they would still pay an unbearable heavy price in the end .
Hence, today's action was taken.
This was also the most correct choice in his life. Even after many years, recalling today's decision, he is still very proud of his foresight.
"My lord, the Eldest Young Master is right. We cannot kill the current Mu Hanyan, and the future Mu Hanyan will not be something we can compete with." Qin Li followed up.
He suffered the most from Mu Hanyan's hands. He was seriously injured several times, so that his cultivation base was greatly damaged. It is not easy to say whether he will be promoted to a sword master in this life. But now, he has no resentment towards Mu Hanyan. Because he knows that hate is useless.
He just feels lucky now that he met Mu Hanyan a little earlier, if it was later, he might not even have the chance to stand here and talk.
"My lord, we are not ungrateful people. We have received many favors from the Yuan family. As long as we can do something, even if we go through fire and water for the Yuan family, we will not hesitate to do so, but with Mu Hanyan around, this matter must not be done." Why, if you insist on sailing against the current, you will only harm the Yuan family." Another old man with a thin face also said.
Among the few people, he has the deepest friendship with the patriarch, and he has the most straightforward temperament. Even if he said so, the patriarch's heart is full of mixed feelings.
Mu Hanyan, it was Mu Hanyan! What really made Yuan Tianmu, Qin Li and the others fearful was neither the three elders of the Mu family, nor Mu Rui'an, nor even the Mu family in the capital, but Mu Hanyan, who was once despised and ridiculed by everyone, the No. A dude waste material.
The elder patriarch didn't ask why, seeing that the words of several people were not all ominous, some things should be inconvenient to say.
"I understand, then immediately gather people and rush to Mu's house." The elder patriarch stood up proudly and said to Yuan Tianbo.
"What?" Yuan Tianbo was taken aback, the words were already on this point, could it be that the grandfather still insisted on going his own way
"The way to choose, the most taboo is that the two ends of the snake and the mouse are not pleasing. Now that you have decided to fall to the Mu family, you can't be half-hearted. Otherwise, no matter who wins or loses in the Mu family of the Zhao family, our Yuan family will not have a good life. Pass." The patriarch of the patriarch said with a faint smile.
"Master grandfather means that we are going to support the Mu family?" Yuan Tianbo understood his grandfather's meaning and said overjoyed.
Although Mu Hanyan promised him that as long as the Yuan family does not participate in today's battle, he will never embarrass the Yuan family in the future and will help him regain the position of young master, but he imprisoned his grandfather for being unfilial and unfaithful, even if he relies on Mu Hanyan Even if you become the young master with the help of others, or become the patriarch in the future, you still feel ashamed, and you will inevitably be poked in the back.
But if the grandfather speaks, it will be different, it is completely logical. Moreover, the Mu family will definitely not treat the Yuan family badly by sending charcoal in the snow. In the future, the Yuan family will benefit from it, and he will make great contributions to the family, and he will be more popular in the future.
"Nonsense, I'm a bad old man and I'm locked up here by you. If I don't eat or drink for a few days, I'm afraid I'll lose my life. Is it okay if I don't follow your wishes?" The patriarch of the patriarch said jokingly.
Yuan Tianbo blushed and felt embarrassed.
"Tianbo, compared with your cousins and cousins, you are actually not smart, or rather stupid, and your aptitude is very average, but I have repeatedly protected you, and even tried my best to help you." Do you know why you are taking the position of young master?" the elder Patriarch asked.
