Peerless Martial Emperor

Chapter 912

The head of the Liu family didn't take what the man in black said to heart, but was thinking about what to do next.

Although the assassination failed, but now that she has managed to gain the trust of Mistress Sikong, she must not let this opportunity go to waste.

Thinking about it, a treacherous smile appeared on his face, as if he had thought of a strategy to destroy the Sikong family.

Not long after dawn, Liu Changming, the younger brother of the Patriarch of the Liu family, came to Sikong's house and met with Mistress Sikong directly.

The two sat opposite each other, and even released a sound-shielding coil in the room for the sake of secrecy.

They had talked a lot before, and reached a certain agreement and consensus with each other, but the Liu family only said that after getting married, they could keep her and Sikong Qingcheng's status, and did not tell her that they wanted to kill Sikong Tianzhan.

Liu Changming said straight to the point: "We have received news that Sikong Tianzhan will return to Sikong City within these two days."

Mistress Sikong couldn't help being shocked when she heard the words, Sikong Tianzhan and others acted secretly, so Sikong's family has not received any news, and the Liu family only guessed based on the information provided by the man in black.

However, this kind of speculation is not groundless. She thought that if something went wrong, the consequences would be difficult to control. At this time, she didn't care about her manners, and she became a little flustered, and said, "Isn't he going home for more than a month? Why did he suddenly advance?" gone?"

Liu Changming said: "Then I have to ask if you leaked the marriage in advance."

Mistress Sikong frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "There are only a few people who know about this matter, it is impossible to leak it."

Liu Changming said: "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Once your husband comes back, it will definitely hinder the engagement, so we can't wait any longer. We must complete the engagement ceremony in advance."

Mistress Sikong thought of Sikong Tianzhan's reaction after learning about this, and couldn't help but feel a little scared, so she hesitated inwardly.

Seeing this, Liu Changming hurriedly said: "Didn't you already make up your mind before? Why did you hesitate when things came to an end? You have to imagine what it will be like when your husband comes back and finds out that bastard is very talented." , in the future, that bastard will become stronger and stronger, and his status will become higher and higher. You have bullied him like that, will he let you go in the future? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your daughter. "

This sentence hit the nail on the head, and it hit the heart of Mistress Sikong with precision, and now she couldn't care less about it, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, we'll get engaged tonight!"

Mistress Sikong only thought about herself and her daughter, but she didn't know that she was dragging the entire Sikong family into a huge trap. Maybe she could also guess that the Liu family had plans, but she didn't care.

When night fell, the sound of gongs and drums sounded on the streets of Sikong City, and firecrackers were fired in unison, making it extremely lively.The engagement team sent by the Liu family is slowly heading towards Sikong's house.Through word of mouth, it didn't take long for the people in the entire Sikong City to know about the upcoming marriage of the two families, and they gathered on the street to watch the excitement.

But in the lobby of Sikong Mansion, it was a different scene.

Mistress Sikong sat on the main seat as the person in charge, and important people in the clan sat on both sides below.

The members of the Sikong family were all in a daze, wondering why the mistress suddenly summoned them all over tonight.

"Tonight I want to announce a good thing, that is, our family's first genius, that is, my daughter - Sikong Qingcheng, will soon be engaged to the young master of the Liu family."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

All the people in the clan were surprised. At this time, one of them was staring at the mistress through the eaves of his coat, and he was holding a pair of faintly glowing sky scrolls tightly in his hand. .

Ordinary people in Sikong City may not feel the hatred of the Sikong and Liu families, but for the Sikong family, it is simply an unforgettable thing. With the suppression of the Sikong City lord in the past two years, the hatred has even become stronger. up.During the last few clan meetings, someone proposed to take back the city lord's position.

But now Mistress Sikong actually announced her marriage with the Liu family?They couldn't believe their ears.

Someone asked, "Which Liu family?"

The fierce reaction of these people was already expected by Mistress Sikong, so she was not surprised, and said without changing her face: "It is the owner of Sikong City and his family."

After it was confirmed, there was another buzz of discussion in the lobby, and everyone fell into an incredible surprise.

A white-haired family elder said angrily: "That's our enemy! Do you know how many Sikong family members have been harmed by the Liu family? The reason why my youngest son became a cripple was because of them! Now you want to Marry with their family? I will never agree!"

"What the Great Elder said is very true. My cousin was also killed by them. It's not bad if we don't take action to kill this kind of enemy, but if we want to form a family? That is absolutely impossible!"

Many clansmen echoed their words one by one, most of them disagreed with this matter, while some remained silent and said nothing.

Mistress Sikong looked at them without saying a word, and after they calmed down a little, she said: "The two countries are at war, there are countless casualties, and there is still a good marriage, why can't our two families do this? We have to fight Do you just give up if you die?"

At this time, a certain middle-aged elder who had been silent just now suddenly said: "What the mistress said is not unreasonable, our Sikong family and the Liu family have been fighting in secret for so many years, and we haven't taken advantage of it at all. , on the contrary, they are being embarrassed and suppressed everywhere. If this continues, the Sikong family will be wiped out one day. And don't forget, the backstage of the Liu family is the Tianfeng Ancient Sect family, which even contains the will of the Great Elder of Foreign Affairs ..."

The white-haired elder who was full of anger heard this just now, pointed at him and cursed: "Don't think I don't know, you and the Liu family have been flirting secretly, do you want to join them now? You traitor!"

Mistress Sikong is also the person in charge when the head of the family is away, no one dares to speak disrespect to her, but for this middle-aged elder, the white-haired elder has the qualifications to criticize him, and there is a hint of accusation in it.

After being accused, the middle-aged elder also said excitedly: "I am a traitor? Your son has been disabled, and you are going to drag the entire Sikong family with hatred, and then wait to be exterminated by the Liu family? You are worthy of the ranks of the Sikong family." Ancestors? Is our Sikong family's ten-thousand-year family business going to be destroyed because of hatred?"

When the white-haired elder heard this, he was heartbroken, and then he couldn't help coughing suddenly. The younger generation next to him quickly poured tea to appease the old man.

The other elder couldn't stand it any longer, and said: "Back then, the Great Elder obeyed the Patriarch's wishes and did not take revenge on the Liu family for the sake of the overall situation of the family. How dare you say that now? I don't think it's okay to treat you as a traitor." gone."

The other clansmen also knew about this, and felt that what the middle-aged elder said was indeed too much, and they all accused him of being wrong.He felt guilty for being a thief, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and quickly cast a look for help to the mistress.

"Enough!" Mistress Sikong shouted loudly, the whole hall seemed to tremble, and soon fell silent.

The Great Elder stopped coughing at this time, and looked up at Mistress Sikong. On the old face, those eyes were extraordinarily piercing, as sharp as a blade, and he asked: "I don't want to say anything else. I just want to know, does the Patriarch know about this?"

Mistress Sikong said in a very natural tone: "Of course the Patriarch knows, it's just that he has no time to come back when he's out on errands."

The white-haired elder did not believe Mistress Sikong's one-sided words, but he did not say that Mistress Sikong was lying, but said: "Unless the Patriarch makes it clear to me personally, otherwise, I will not agree with this matter."

After saying that, the Great Elder stood up with the support of others, and walked towards the door.

The Great Elder is the elder with the highest seniority in the Sikong family, and he is highly respected. He is also highly respected by the people in Sikong City outside of the Sikong family. If he disagrees, the engagement will lose a certain degree of justice.

At this moment, Mistress Sikong didn't know what to do, because he never expected that the First Elder's reaction would be so violent, but then, she thought to herself, it's just a bad old man, without him, the engagement ceremony will proceed as if!
At this time, the members of the Sikong family in the lobby heard the sound of gongs and drums celebrating outside the door, and the Liu family's engagement team had already arrived.

Everyone in the Sikong family turned their heads to look, they didn't expect that the matter would come so fast, the mistress had just announced it, and the engagement team came to the gate.

What made them even more surprised was that the Liu family's team was not blocked from entering the door. The servants placed a large pile of dowries in the outer hall, and the few people who took the lead walked directly to the Sikong family's lobby, but for some reason, the head of the Liu family did not Instead of coming, it was his brother Liu Changming who came.

Seeing this, everyone started discussing loudly again.

"Why did the Liu family enter our Sikong family so recklessly?"

"Could it be that the defense of our Sikong family is already so weak? We don't even stop outsiders from rushing in?"

Mistress Sikong explained indifferently: "This is what I arranged in advance, and there is no need to stop people who come to make an appointment."

As she spoke, she herself stood up from the chair, ready to meet the Liu family.

The Great Elder who had just left the lobby was met by the Liu family who were coming in at this time.

Liu Changming had a disgusting hypocritical smile on his face, and asked, "Isn't this the elder of the Sikong family? Today is a great day for the Sikong family. If you're not celebrating in the hall, where are you going?"

The Great Elder glanced at Liu Changming and snorted disdainfully, as if he didn't want to talk to him at all.

A man next to the Great Elder immediately said: "This is our Sikong family, we can stay if we want, we can leave if we want, when will it be your turn to meddle in the Liu family's business?"

Liu Changming said: "If it was before, I really didn't care about it, but today it's different..."

"Why, come to make a kiss and treat yourself as Sikong's family? Like you, you don't want to be a watchdog for Sikong's family!"

"Engagement? Who said we are here for engagement?"

Everyone in the hall was extremely puzzled when they heard the words, even Mistress Sikong became puzzled.

I saw Liu Changming took out a piece of paper like a document, and said: "Now the Lord City Lord suspects that you are colluding with other forces in the name of business and intending to rebel!"

Everyone's face changed drastically when they heard the words, and they cursed angrily.

"You Liu family wanted to use the power of the city lord to frame our Sikong family, and you used clever methods. This kind of crime is too low-level."

The middle-aged elder who had quarreled with the first elder looked at Mistress Sikong blankly, and asked, "This...what the hell is going on?"
