Eternal Saint Doctor - C142
“Dun’er, you …” Staring at Shangguan Sheng in surprise, Shangguan Li didn’t expect his wise son to agree to this matter that concerned the life and death of the entire family within a moment.
“Father, do you think I’m being too hasty?” With a grave expression, he looked at Shangguan Li, and said in a deep voice, “Actually, what Brother Yang Chou said is true, the conflict between my Shangguan family and Nan Rong is almost irreconcilable, unless my Shangguan family is willing to serve as a servant of the Nan Rong family. I think this is absolutely impossible.”
“That’s right!” “My Shangguan family won’t become Nan Rong’s servant even if our family is exterminated!” Shangguan Li also agreed with this point.
“Similarly, the conflicts between our Shangguan and Huang Family, as well as the other families that have been secretly nurtured by the Southern Rong Royal Family, are becoming more and more intense. If we are not careful, we will not only have to face those small fries, but we will also have to face the attack of the Southern Rong Royal Family.” After taking a deep breath, Shangguan Sheng continued.
From the medicine list mentioned by Qingyang, Huang Po He had brazenly brought people to Shangguan Mu’s courtyard to provoke him. Obviously, he was fearless. Even if it was not instigated by someone behind the scenes, it did indicate the deterioration of the relationship between the two families.
“And now, Brother Yang Chou also found out that there was an unknown power that had some sort of plan for my Shangguan family’s treasure, the Thousand Wood Heart.” At the mention of this, Shangguan Dun couldn’t wait to kill Fan Jing himself. Not only had the Shangguan Family revealed the secrets of the Shangguan Family, they had even tried to harm his father. This was extremely hateful!
“Hmph, you want to take away my Shangguan Family’s Ten Thousand Wood Heart? It’s simply wishful thinking. ” Shangguan Li said disdainfully with a sneer.
“You’re wrong, Father. They already know that even if we forcefully take the Heart of Allwood, it will be useless. They only use it after my contract with the Heart of Ten Thousand Wood is broken, so they deliberately plotted to take Mu Er and Jingxiang away. It seems that they want to use their lives in exchange for mine.” Saying this, a cold glint flashed in Shangguan Sheng’s eyes. “Otherwise, wouldn’t it be more convenient for a Spirit Refinement Stage powerhouse to attack my Shangguan family?”
As expected of the famous and wise Shangguan Dun, Qingyang only said a few words, but he was actually able to connect the dots after he heard it. He analyzed everything accurately, which also made Qingyang sigh to himself at the side.
“I thought that as long as we could endure for another two years, we would be able to survive. By then, even the Nan Rong family wouldn’t dare to make things too difficult for us. However, based on the current situation, our Shangguan family won’t be able to wait any longer.” With a long sigh, Shangguan Sheng looked exhausted. “It can be said that there are ferocious tigers blocking the way in front of us in the Shangguan family, and troops blocking our way behind us.”
“Rather than just sitting here waiting for death, we might as well choose to help the third prince from the shadows. If the third prince can really seize the throne, then we will naturally have no worries in the future. We believe that the South Rong family, which is controlled by the third prince, will also help us!” With a sudden change in tone, a tinge of excitement appeared on Shangguan Sheng’s face.
“This is what it means to come back from death’s door. A man is alive and should fight to the death for his home and country. Even if he dies on the battlefield, his corpse would still be wrapped in a piece of horsehide.” “Yes.” Qingyang’s words made both Shangguan Sheng and Shangguan Li’s blood boil.
Good!” What a great “perish on the battlefield”! A horse’s hide! ” Shangguan Li gave a loud shout and a trace of a look appeared on his face. “Just as Dun`er had said, my Shangguan family will place our lives on the third prince!
All of a sudden, Shangguan Sheng turned to Qingyang and bowed. “Brother Yang, I have a request. I hope you can agree to it.”
Qingyang furrowed his brow slightly, and quickly helped Shangguan tong up: “If Brother Shangguan has anything to say, feel free to say it. As long as I am able to do it, I will not refuse.”
“If my Shangguan family were to suffer miserably in the future, I hope that Brother Yang could bring Mu Er and Jing Xiang away safely. Even if we have to live the life of a mountain villager, at least my Shangguan family’s incense has not been extinguished.” When these words came out, Qingyang felt a bit awkward, as if he had asked Lin Ming to do so on his deathbed. It seemed that Qingyang felt that he was a hero who would never return.
“Brother Shangguan, don’t worry. I will do that, but you shouldn’t look like that. Actually, we just need to be a bit more careful, and we can do it step by step. It’s not impossible for us to win.” He looked at Shangguan Dun helplessly, Qingyang smiled and said, “Besides, do I look like the kind of person who can’t make up his mind?”
Could it be that Brother Yang already has a plan in mind?” “With a look of delight, Shangguan Sheng hastily asked.
“Although I don’t dare to say it’s a fixed plan, I do have some thoughts.” Qingyang gestured for Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Li to sit around the table and said softly, “Three years ago, the Second Prince, Nan Rong and Yan Long, fought with the First Prince, Nan Rong and Jun Long. Nan Rong and Jun Long didn’t die, but they led the veterans and fled.
He looked at Qingyang with a slightly surprised expression, “Brother Yang, are you trying to find NanRong Junlong and get him to participate in this?”
“It’s nothing more than using them. The South Rong Yanlong now has the support of the Southern Rong Imperial Family, just like a fierce beast. So, what we need to do is to break its wings, break its claws, and then eat its flesh.” A cold light flashed in Qingyang’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, “And this South Rongjun Dragon is just a crossbow in our hands.”
Indeed, to Qing Yang, the only one with a favorable impression of the Nan Rong family was the late Emperor Nan Ronglei. Whether it was the current ruler of the kingdom, Nan Rong and Yan Long, or the loser, Nan Rong and Jun Long, none of them had a favorable impression of Qing Yang.
“Fold its wings? Break its claws and teeth? ” Shangguan Sheng frowned, he seemed to faintly grasp the meaning behind Qingyang’s words.
“That’s right. Looking at it now, why are they the feathers and fangs of the Nan Rong Family? “Those are the big families that have the shadows of the Nangrong Family behind them, just like the Huang Family in Yan Prefecture.” Regarding the Huang Family’s young master Huang Po He’s words and actions in the Medicine Hall, if not for the fact that Qingyang wanted to participate in the Medicine Board, he would have probably killed him on the spot.
This Huang family was clearly the Shangguan family’s number one mortal enemy, and since they were supported by the Southern Rong Royal Family, they were the first ones to be remembered by the Azure Sun.
“After that, we will eliminate all of these large and small families that are willing to work for Nanxiong. The only ones we have to deal with are the Nanxiong clan.” Although it was just a general idea, it gave Shangguan Sheng a plan.
“However, it will definitely be difficult to accomplish the task. We have to go through it step by step and discuss it. Right now, all the Shangguan Family needs to do is to quietly guard in the Northern Chi Prefecture and guard against the unknown forces.” After thinking for a moment, Qingyang said softly: “Since we are helping each other in secret, the Shangguan Family need not stand against the Nanxiong royal family in public.”
“Brother Yang is right, it seems that we really need to plan things out.” Nodding his head, Shangguan Mu asked in confusion, “Brother Yang, why did you suddenly decide to help the Third Prince?”
Shangguan Mu was not stupid, Qingyang wouldn’t help the Shangguan Family to usurp the throne. He obviously had his own reasons, and once the relationship with the Shangguan Family was clear, Qingyang naturally wouldn’t hide too much from them.
Recalling the scenes from Azure Sun Village, the smiles on his parents’ faces, the simplicity of his family, as well as the many corpses that were covered by white bedding, anger burned in his heart.
Unknowingly, a strong killing intent exuded from his body, shocking Shangguan Mu and Shangguan Li so much that they quickly avoided it.
At the same time, a chilling voice akin to that of the nine evils came from Qingyang’s mouth.
“For Qingyang, for the Azure Sun Village’s fellow villagers, the debt of blood must be paid with blood!”
