C5217 An Old Friend of the Marquis



C5217 An Old Friend of the Marquis

0When the surrounding clansmen saw that it was Xiahou Shuo who had spoken, they instantly frowned.    

    

Xiahou Shuo was a junior of the Thunderwhale Marquis' bloodline, and he was ranked ninth.    

    

However, when the Thunder Whale Marquis was still around, their status was still rather high. However, with the death of the Thunderwhale Marquis, this noble status naturally vanished like smoke.    

    

At this moment, they were precisely the direct descendants of the Thunder Whale Marquis, and when they saw Xiahou Shuo actually dare to interrupt at this moment, they couldn't help but berate him.    

    

Xiahou Shuo said loudly, "The Marquis and his old friends are existences that none of you can afford to offend. All of you have to pay the price for everything you've done today! "    

    

"What other old friends does Lord Marquis have? Those old friends heard that Lord Marquis had died and no one came to visit him. It could be seen how cold the world was. If my Xiahou Family doesn't increase our strength as soon as possible... Then what will happen in the future... It will definitely be miserable!"    

    

Xiahou Yan said solemnly, "Therefore, the most important thing is to hand over Master Hou's inheritance as soon as possible. Increasing the strength of our Xiahou Family is the most important thing!"    

    

Hearing Xiahou Yan's words, the other elders responded in unison.    

    

An unconcealable greed flashed across their eyes.    

    

A Marquis, if he died now, how much inheritance could he leave behind?    

    

"Little Nine, withdraw first!" Madame Xiahou said anxiously.    

    

Although she was also furious at the elders' actions of breaking the bridge after crossing the river, their faction was ultimately lacking in numbers. They were unable to resist the aggressiveness of the branches.    

    

Xiahou Shuo said, "Madame, it's fine. Lord Marquis's old friend has already arrived here!"    

    

Lord Marquis's old friend?    

    

For a moment, everyone looked around.    

    

Xiahou Shuo laughed coldly. "All of you were forced back just now. Don't you know what's good for you? If you dare to take another step forward, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your lives! "    

    

Everyone in the Imperial Capital knew about Lu Yu's means.    

    

He was decisive in killing, and he wanted revenge!    

    

When many people heard Lu Yu's name, their hearts began to tremble.    

    

"This is too funny! Pretending to be pretentious, let him come out and let me see!" An elder sneered and said.    

    

Hearing the ridicule of this elder, Xiahou Shuo immediately became angry.    

    

He turned around and looked behind him, but suddenly froze on the spot.    

    

He saw Lu Yu standing behind him just now, pushing back all of these elders.    

    

However, in the time it took for Xiahou Shuo to turn around, Lu Yu had actually disappeared!    

    

"Where did that person go?" Xiahou Shuo instantly panicked.    

    

The reason why he had the courage to stand out was because Lu Yu was standing behind him.    

    

But now, Lu Yu had suddenly disappeared. Xiahou Shuo did not have the confidence to face these elders and the branch family Family Head.    

    

"Forget it, Little Nine. Do you think that you can trick the seniors here with these little tricks?"    

    

"Today, we are doing this for the sake of our family!"    

    

The elders said righteously.    

    

Suddenly, a servant barged into the outer court and whispered into Xiahou Yan's ear.    

    

Xiahou Yan's face immediately revealed a hint of joy as he laughed loudly, "Madam, it's useless even if you object now. I've already found a backer for the family. He's already here!"    

    

What!?    

    

Mistress Xiahou was greatly shocked in her heart as she rebuked angrily, "You actually colluded with outsiders!"    

    

"What do you mean by colluding with outsiders? If my Xiahou family wants to establish a foothold in the Imperial Capital, we must have a strong backer. We are doing this according to the family's strategy! "    

    

" You are just a woman. It is normal that you don't understand these things! This is a critical moment that concerns the future of my Xiahou family. You should mind your own business here."    

    

Several elders immediately refuted and berated him.
