The King of the Warring States Era - C40
The young master of the Bai Family was a disciple from a branch family who secretly addressed Bai Yeyu as a disciple from a branch family of the Lady Bai. They had long heard of the words “cut the grass by its roots” and “Soul-Drop Slope”, which meant that there was someone in the Soul-Drop Slope who wanted to cut the grass by its roots and eliminate all of the young miss and the members of the caravan.
Hearing this news, simply shocked everyone present. Bai Yeyu wanted to kill the Patriarch and seize power? To root them all out, the Soul-Drop Slope would have to ambush them.
She glanced at the two spies on the ground, then looked at Chen Ling, then turned to the house general beside her and said: “Wake them up, this is a very important matter, I want to interrogate them on the spot, if this news is true, the evidence is solid, we cannot sit idly and wait for death.”
Bai Ruoxi kept her gaze on the house general until she was seated, and then nodded her head, indicating that she could make her move.
The house guard poured cold water on the faces of the two spies. They woke up and began to scream in pain. The blood was still flowing out from their wounds. Both of them turned pale as they saw the scene in front of them.
“Big… “Eldest Miss …”
“Hmph, Gao Qiu, you still know that I am the young miss, and yet you listen to Bai Yeyu’s orders, colluding with Zhan Xiong bandit, and want to kill my White Clan direct descendant, you have such big guts, looks like if you do not execute the most cruel punishment, it will not be able to avenge you! Men, drag Gao Qiu down first, and beat him to death!” Bai Ruoxi’s face was as cold as frost, and his methods were not the least bit soft.
After all, he had served under Eldest Miss for a few years. Although he couldn’t resist the influence of money in secret and became a spy for Eldest Miss’s camp, he knew that Eldest Miss still had the prestige she had accumulated over the years. Eldest Miss had suddenly become angry and overbearing, causing him to tremble in fear as he shouted out, “Eldest Miss, please spare me, Eldest Miss, please spare me.
“Ahh! Gao Qiu, you were killed by a thousand blades, you dare to sell the young master out! You’re dead, your whole family is dead, ah!” That black clothed contact person looked to be an extremely loyal person to Bai Yeyu. Even though he was still defending his Young Master’s interests when faced with danger, he was kicked in the stomach by the person beside him, causing him to cry out in pain.
Bai Ruoxi frowned: “You are a very loyal person, it’s a pity that you chose the wrong master. Bai Yeyu is just a side branch, but he delusions of wanting to swallow the entire Bai Family, and isn’t afraid of death. He has completely lost his conscience, and colluded with outsiders to murder and kill his own clansmen, and the crime is extremely evil, I, Bai Ruoxi, will definitely not let him go.
“Here, Miss!” Before leaving, that person was still shouting loudly: “You little b * stard, you can’t win against the young master. The young master has five deacon elders supporting him and the swordsmen by his side are as skilled as the clouds.
When the people inside the tent heard his shouts, they all became unspeakably furious. They simply hated Bai Yeyu to the bone, and to cut the grass off its roots was equivalent to killing them all. There were quite a few of them who were blood-thirsty swordsmen and warriors, how could they be willing to take this lying down.
Gao Qiu kneeled at the center of the court with a shocked expression and continuously kowtowed, “Eldest Miss, please spare me, I won’t dare to do it again.”
Bai Ruoxi’s expression was calm, her eyebrows were like distant mountains that had been drawn. She looked at him coldly, and snorted: “Speak, what benefits did Bai Yeyu grant you, and what did that person just say about the five great deacon elders? And how many troops did Bai Yeyu prepare to ambush us? ”
“Here, young master, oh no. Bai Yeyu, when the matter is completed, he wants me to be the hall master of a merchant guild for the Bai Family and he wants me to return fifty taels of gold … Meimei, Ji Nu, and the other three, earlier … The five Main Affairs Elders that Liang Gou mentioned earlier were the four Main Affairs Elders from the permanent missions to the Yan Nation, Qi Nation, Chu Nation and the Profound Sky Continent, as well as the Main Affairs Elders of the Hu Clan. There were five of them in total, and all of them have secretly agreed to cooperate with Bai Yeyu. ” Gao Qiu was so scared that he shook out everything.
There were a total of nine Duty Hall Elders in the Lady Bai family, each of whom were from the Battle Country’s Seven Great Guilds. Each of the seven dukedoms had an elder managing the operations of the Lady Bai Chamber of Commerce in this area, and each of the seven great deacon Elders had three halls responsible for the production, marketing, and finance operations.
The more Bai Ruoxi listened, the heavier her expression became. Finally, she heard that all five clan elder deacons were standing by Bai Yeyu’s side, and she felt very heavy, wanting to win over all five elders was not an easy thing, the young miss asked with determination as usual, “Who will be leading the way this time, and how many people did you bring?”
Gao Qiu replied: I heard that Liang Yu was personally led by Bai Yeyu this time, adding on the 800 servants that came from his house, and also hired 200 swordsmen from the Yingyang Supreme Martial School, Sword Truth Martial School, and the WangCheng Wangyou Martial Arts School, just by himself, there are three of them. He wants to catch all the young miss and her people in one fell swoop!
Hearing this, even the normally calm and capable Bai Ruoxi’s face immediately changed color.
