Sun Zhangming only had a good impression of Ye Xiao. From his point of view, this disciple of a small family was very much to his liking. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep him by his side as a follower.
But now, Ye Xiao actually said that he had a way to solve this matter. This was a little too arrogant.
Sun Zhangming thought that Ye Xiao was eager to gain merit after joining him, which made Sun Zhangming somewhat unhappy.
Hence, Sun Zhangming furrowed his brows. "You have a way?"
Ye Xiao nodded. "Young Master, those so-called vassal families aren't that close to the Lu Clan. Some of them can be bribed with money."
Sun Zhangming snorted coldly. "Do I need you to say that? I also know that some of them can be bribed with money, but such families are in the minority. Most of the families know which side they should stand on. "
Ye Xiao said solemnly, "They know, but the Lu Clan might not trust them.
Young Master, you can only send people to those vassal families that you feel won't betray the Lu Clan. Furthermore, you have to let the Lu Clan see that we're there. However, we don't have to open our mouths to recruit them. They can just stay for a while and leave.
As for those families that you can bribe with money, you can bribe them with money. This way, I can guarantee that the entire Lu Clan will fall into chaos without us having to do anything! "
Sun Zhangming wasn't stupid. When Ye Xiao finished speaking, he immediately understood what the core of the plan was. There was only one word to describe it: suspicion!
The Lu Clan definitely wouldn't trust those vassal families completely, because it was the same for the Sun Clan.
After the Sun Clan's people left, the Lu Clan would go to the vassal families one by one to question them. At that time, those who didn't betray them would definitely say that the Sun Clan's people came and said nothing.
Those who received money and were prepared to betray them would also say the same thing.
This way, the truth would be mixed with the lies, and the seeds of suspicion would be planted. The Sun Clan wouldn't even need to make a move. They would fall into chaos on their own.
The more Sun Zhangming thought about it, the more he felt that it was ingenious. He laughed and patted Ye Xiao's shoulder. "Not bad, not bad. I'll go tell Father about this right now. Don't worry, you'll have a lot of credit!"
Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "No, Young Master, this is all thanks to you. You were the one who came up with all these plans. This subordinate is only doing the work."
Sun Zhangming's face revealed a faint smile. He looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Are you going to give me the credit? Do you know that at this time, you've helped my Sun family with such a big favor? Even if you're not a member of the Sun family, the reward will still not be small. "
Ye Xiao's expression was solemn as he said, "Last time, this subordinate already said that the person this subordinate respects the most is Young Master.
This subordinate knows that within the Sun Clan, there are still some people who aren't convinced of young master's abilities. This battle with the Lu Clan is a good opportunity for young master to stand out. This credit belongs to young master, which is much more useful than giving it to this subordinate.
I'm not pressuring the entire Sun family, but you. As long as you can become the family head in the future, I believe that you won't mistreat me.
Although this subordinate does not dare to say that I am far-sighted, at least I am not so short-sighted. "
The more Sun Zhangming looked at Ye Xiao, the more he liked him.
As the heir of the Sun family on the surface, he actually had quite a number of subordinates. However, most of them could only be subordinates. They couldn't even do things properly, let alone give him advice and suggestions.
And this Ye Xiao, other than being slightly weaker, was quick-witted and knew how to scheme. Where else could he find such subordinates?
"Good! Ye Xiao, this Young Master will not let you down. Whatever you want, this Young Master will make it come true for you in the future! "
After encouraging Ye Xiao for a while, Sun Zhangming called for people to arrange Ye Xiao's accommodation and gave him a large pile of elixirs. Only then did he leave in satisfaction to report the situation to his father.
In the Bloodsoul Bead, Chu Xiu shook his head.
He had overestimated this Sun Zhangming. Although the other party's strength and talent were not bad, when it came to doing things, he had great ambitions but little talent.
In the past, on the Longhu List, not to mention monstrous talents like Zhang Chengzhen and Zong Xuan, even people like Xie Xiao Lou and Yan Feiyan had no opponents in their respective sects. They didn't have to worry about competing with others in their sects.
But this Sun Zhangming actually didn't even manage his own affairs after so many years. He was simply trash.
After Sun Zhangming reported the plan, it immediately received the attention of the current Sun family head, who was also Sun Zhangming's father, Sun Qifang.
At present, the Sun family and the Lu family had not directly fought each other. Both sides only had small-scale conflicts. However, the battle between the vassal family heads had already seen blood, and the Sun family was at a disadvantage.
Now that Sun Zhangming presented such a plan, it could be said that it solved the Sun family's urgent situation. This immediately made the Sun family overjoyed, and they immediately acted according to Sun Zhangming's plan.
As a result, in less than a month, the Lu family became suspicious of their vassal families. After repeated inspections and conflicts, their vassal families were divided. Many of them simply took the initiative to seek refuge with the Sun family, and the situation between the two sides was suddenly reversed.
Moreover, after Chu Xiu came to the Sun family, he gave the Sun family many ideas, and all of them were strategies to destroy the family.
To put it bluntly, in Chu Xiu's opinion, the Sun family of River East and the Lu family of Gao Ping were a bit too useless.
It was not that their strength was useless, but that the Sun family of River East and the Lu family of Gao Ping had been living too comfortably these years.
These two clans were in the middle of the Nine Great Clans.
The Ying family of Shangshui stood at the peak, and their strength was so strong that they didn't even dare to think about it.
The Dong family, the Luo family, and the other families were too weak to pose a threat to them.
As a result, the Sun family and the Lu family had not formally fallen out with anyone for a long time. Therefore, in Chu Xiu's opinion, this method was a bit too gentle, and also a bit too inflexible.
Therefore, after Chu Xiu came to the Sun family of River East, he told Ye Xiao many of the despicable methods of the Sun family, so that Sun Zhangming could tell the Sun family, and then use it against the Lu family.
For example, cutting off the trade routes around the Lu family, so that some of the resources and materials that the Lu family needed would be greatly reduced.
Otherwise, he would send people to provoke the forces that had a grudge against the Lu family, and have them cause trouble behind the Lu family.
Chu Xiu even gave Sun Zhangming ideas, asking him to use force or enticement to gather more than half of the bandits in Eastern Qi around the Lu family, causing the entire Gao Ping Prefecture to be in a mess. In the vast Gao Ping Prefecture, there were actually more than ten forces that couldn't stand the fight between the two families, and had no choice but to move away. This indirectly caused the Lu family of Gao Ping Prefecture to suffer losses.
After all, these forces could be around the Gao Ping Lu family, either the other party was a vassal family of the Gao Ping Lu family, or they also chose to surrender to the Gao Ping Lu family.
Although these methods were not enough to hurt the Gao Ping Lu family, they caused constant trouble for the Gao Ping Lu family.
Previously, when the Sun family and the Lu family fought, the Lu family actually had a slight advantage. After all, the Sun family had just lost two Real Pellet State martial artists. As a result, the offensive and defensive relationship between the two sides had changed.
Although Chu Xiu asked Ye Xiao to give all these credits to Sun Zhangming, Sun Zhangming was not an idiot. He would do something like the father and son of the Ye family.
Sun Zhangming directly brought Ye Xiao with him all the time as his first confidant. He appreciated Ye Xiao very much, and he almost became sworn brothers with him.
However, Chu Xiu was still a little dissatisfied.
The Sun family and the Lu family were simply cowards. Since they came out of the Illusionary Realm 6, the two sides had been in direct conflict for more than half a year. In the end, they still didn't want to really fight, and there was no result. It was really too slow.
Chu Xiu was now already thinking, Do I need to add more fuel to the fire for both sides?
At this moment, Sun Zhangming was preparing to take Chu Xiu to Nanliang City of Eastern Qi.
Sun Zhangming now regarded Ye Xiao as his confidant, so he had told him everything and asked him to help him consult.
This time, Sun Zhangming went to Nanliang City to buy intelligence from the Wind Sweeping Building, to buy intelligence about the Lu family.
Now that the two sides were at loggerheads, ordinary Anemophilia would definitely not dare to sell the intelligence to the Sun family, so the Sun family could only go to the Wind Sweeping Building to buy it.
As for why the Sun family did this, the reason was very simple. Now the Sun family was still struggling whether to fight or not.
The Sun family had been used to keeping a low profile and forbearance over the years. It was impossible for them to act decisively.
However, they kept having the feeling that things were going too smoothly, and the Sun family had inexplicably gained the upper hand.
If it were any other aristocratic family, they would definitely take this opportunity to defeat their opponent in one go. However, the Sun family was different. After gaining the upper hand, they still felt a little uneasy. Hence, they wanted to obtain detailed information about the Lu family and analyze whether they should take action or not.
After they arrived at Nanliang City, Sun Zhangming brought Ye Xiao along to the Wind Sweeping Building, but he never expected that he would be given the cold shoulder.
The Anemophilia from the Wind Sweeping Building were extremely sly. Even though they'd been paying attention to the battle between the Lu and Sun family at all times, they didn't intend to interfere.
To the Wind Sweeping Building, all they had to do was be a witness, and they wouldn't take sides at such a critical moment.
Even if the Sun family didn't intend to make a move against the Lu family immediately, and they only wanted to confirm the strength of both sides, it still wouldn't do.
Sun Zhangming couldn't succeed no matter how he tried, and he could only return to the inn resentfully. He intended to think about if there was any other way.
After nightfall, Ye Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed in the inn and continued cultivating.
He knew that strength wasn't easy to come by, and even if he had a ready-made cultivation technique, he still couldn't avoid cultivating bitterly.
After following Sun Zhangming, he didn't lack any medicinal pills, so he would cultivate bitterly whenever he had the time. Now, he had already advanced to the Inner Supreme Realm, and it could be said to be godly speed.
At this moment, the window of the inn seemed to have been eroded by the wind, and it mysteriously turned into powder.
A woman wrapped in black had appeared outside the window, and the long saber in her hand flickered with a cold light. In the next moment, she was already before Ye Xiao.
The difference in strength between the two parties was too great, and by the time Ye Xiao reacted, he could already feel the cold light on the edge of the saber.
Just as various thoughts flashed through Ye Xiao's mind, and he was waiting for death unwillingly, Chu Xiu suddenly shouted in his mind, "Call out to Mu Ziyi!"
Ye Xiao couldn't be bothered about anything else, and he subconsciously shouted, "Mu Ziyi!"
The woman in black's body shook, and the saber that was already close to Ye Xiao's neck was retracted.
