"What?"
Everyone in the Song residence looked at each other. Even Song Zhongmou, who had always been calm, was disturbed by the bad news he had just heard.
There was an old saying: don't hit people in the face.
If there was no deep hatred between the enemy and himself, they would not have sent people to besiege other people's mansions. If the owner of the mansion had not committed treason, he would not have been treated like this.
Because it meant that there was no way out, and it also meant that there would be no end.
In the past, it was only the Song clan who sent people to besiege other people's mansions, such as political enemies who stood in front of them. For example, the Lu clan. For thousands of years, no one had ever dared to send troops to besiege the Song residence.
"Does someone want to exterminate the Song enterprise?"
"Has the situation really deteriorated to such an extent?"
…
Song Zhongmou's mind raced and he became anxious.
They were blocked in the mansion by one or several powerful forces and had no way to contact the outside world. They did not know the news from Old Immortal, the City Guards Camp and the Qilin Army, the City Patrol Camp and the Monitoring Division, and even the movements of the Flying Feather Army.
These were the most powerful armies that guarded Tiandu. In the past, these forces were under the control of the Song clan, or part of them.
Together with the civil and military officials loyal to the Song clan, they were the pride of the Song clan and a powerful force that could subvert the court.
This was also why, until a quarter of an hour ago, the people of the Song clan still thought that they were safe and sound. Even if they encountered some small difficulties, they would be overturned and crushed in an instant when the old immortal was free or when the army loyal to the Song clan reacted.
"Who dares to do this?" Gu Qinglin shouted angrily with his face flushed. Although Song Zhongmou was the clan leader of the Song clan and the Song residence was besieged, he was the one who suffered the most humiliation.
However, Gu Qinglin was the Prime Minister of the Empire and a leading figure in the officialdom of the Song clan. Now that someone dared to besiege the Song residence, it meant that his control of the officialdom was not good.
"It seems to be … the Wolf Army." The servant whispered, "I saw the totem of the Wolf Army."
"The Wolf Army?" Song Zhongmou looked surprised. "What does the Cui family want to do? We were just about to get married and become a family, but in the blink of an eye, we have to fight each other and attack our own family members? "
The Wild Wolf Army was an army belonging to the Cui clan. Because the Cui clan had been in control of the surveillance system since the establishment of the West Wind Kingdom, and mainly engaged in all kinds of secretive work, most of the armies related to the Cui clan were formed and controlled by the direct descendants of the surveillance system. This Wildwolf Army was the direct line of descent of the Cui Clan. Usually, the core members of the Cui family were in charge.
The current Wild Wolf General was Cui Xinnian. He was Cui Xiaoxin's second uncle and also Cui Xinci's second elder brother.
"The Cui family has gone too far. Do they really think that the Song enterprise is going to collapse?"
"You used to think of ways to curry favor with the Song Family, but now, you're turning your sword against us the moment you see something amiss …"
"Cui Xichen that son of a bitch, he is not a good person at first glance — —"
※ ※ ※
Gu Qinglin and Song Zhongmou did not speak ill of each other like the others. The two exchanged a glance, and then walked towards the side hall together.
After Gu Qinglin came in, he glanced outside, and then Xiaoxin slammed the door shut.
"Zhongmou, the situation is not good." Gu Qinglin said in a low voice. "I know the old man of the Cui family. He's as cunning as a fox, but also as cautious as Xiaoxin. Last time he joined hands with our Song enterprise to eradicate the Lu clan, but he was only willing to be a subordinate. He was not willing to rush to the forefront with us. Until the end, he did not let the Wild Wolf Army come out to kill. This time he suddenly attacked our Song enterprise — — Could it be that the old man of the Cui family has received some news that is not good for our Song enterprise? "
There was a look of horror in both of their eyes as they said in unison, "Old immortal?"
"That's impossible." Song Zhongmou desperately shook his head, dispelling this uneasy thought. "Old immortal is an immortal, and also has strong guards around him. Even if the number one master of the divine continent came in person, he may not necessarily be able to gain an advantage — — Let alone that little dragon?"
"I also hope so." Gu Qinglin nodded. "It's just that if Old immortal is safe and sound, would Cui Xichen dare to take such a risk? Isn't he afraid of our Song enterprise's relentless retaliation? "
Song Zhongmou knew that what Gu Qinglin said was very reasonable, and Gu Qinglin's worries were also his worries.
But because of his excessive trust and worship of his father, he believed that Old immortal could not be defeated by anyone. The only people who could be defeated were only time, and only heaven.
"What do you mean?" Song Zhongmou looked at Gu Qinglin and asked aloud.
"We have sent countless people out to inquire about the news, but in the end no one came back to report. We are trapped in this mansion, our eyes are covered, and our ears are blocked — — we must rush out. Rush out to see what's going on outside. The most important thing is that we need to know Old immortal's state at this moment, or let Old immortal know of our predicament — — we must rush out to meet up with Old immortal. "
"But, the Wild Wolf Army is surrounding the mansion, and there are countless masters lying in ambush — — how can we rush out? How can we meet up with Old immortal? At this moment, the best way is to defend the Song mansion. No matter who dares to step into the Song clan's gate, we will fight to the death with him — — Although the Wild Wolf Army is wild, our Song clan is not one to be trampled upon. "
At this moment, Gu Qinglin's mind was in a whirl.
"If we just defend the mansion, I'm afraid we will be tightly surrounded by them, and if we delay for too long, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on. Although the guards in our mansion are strong, there are still a lot of them. However, who knows how many people are out there who want to kill us? "
"We know nothing about the outside world now, if we rush out rashly, won't we fall right into those people's trap? At that time, it will be easier for us to be defeated one by one … Why don't we stay in the mansion and wait for the Song clan's direct descendants outside to come to our rescue? "
After saying that, the two looked at each other and found that they were extremely worried about the Song clan's current situation, and they had no confidence that the Song clan could survive this crisis.
Most importantly, no matter if they rushed out or stayed, it showed the same problem — — the Song clan was in a critical moment of life and death.
One thought to live, one thought to die.
"Defend the mansion." Song Zhongmou gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe they can rebel against the heavens."
After a pause, he said, "Send the women and children out of the mansion through the secret passage, even if … even if we really can't hold on, we have to leave a trace of the Song clan's bloodline."
"Elder brother …"
"You're a weak scholar, you can't help much even if you stay, go with them … At least you can take care of them on the road."
"Elder brother …" Gu Qinglin knelt on the ground with a thud and choked with sobs, "Elder brother, I, Gu Qinglin, am just a commoner, and it's thanks to the Song clan that I have today … If it wasn't for the Song clan, I'm afraid that I, Gu Qinglin, would have died in the court's frame-up and assassination … Everything I have is given by the Song clan, now that the Song clan is in trouble, how can I abandon the Song clan and leave? If that's the case, even if Qinglin survives, won't he be criticized by the world? "
"Qinglin is weak, but his mind is still clear. Just let me stay with the Song enterprise through thick and thin. I just need to send my wife away first … "
"Qinglin …" Song Zhongmou forcefully dragged Gu Qinglin up from the ground, "A friend in need is a friend indeed."
"Elder brother, the Song clan will not fall. Definitely not. "
"There are countless people who want to destroy the Song clan, the Song clan is still alive, but they have already turned to dust. This time, it will be the same. "

The Cui family's mansion.
The Cui family members also gathered in the main hall used for discussions, looking left and right, but still did not see the head of the Cui family, Cui Xichen, coming to see them.
"Where is father?" Cui Xinjing asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. Do you want me to go look for him? "Cui Xinci said in a low voice.
"No need." Cui Xinjing waved his hand and said, "Maybe father hasn't thought clearly … Give him some more time."
Cang Mountain.
A thousand years of mountain wind blew, ten thousand years of white clouds leisurely.
On the cliff, there was a pavilion called Full Moon Pavilion.
On the stone table of the pavilion, an old man in embroidered robes and Lao Dao in Taoist robes were playing chess.
"Lao Dao of the Three Addicts, have you ever made a wrong move in your life?" The old man in embroidered robes put down a black character and asked aloud.
Lao Dao's mind was still on the chess game in front of him, and said without raising his head, "What do you mean by making a wrong move? Sometimes right is also wrong, sometimes wrong is right … Cause and effect, there is cause and effect, there is cause and effect. Since you are so wrong about the effect, the cause is not the most important thing. "
The old man in embroidered robes smiled, "I asked you if you made a wrong move, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Lao Dao of the Three Addicts finally raised his head and said with a smile, "Are you really asking about chess? What you see in front of you, what you think in your heart, is it really chess? "
The old man in embroidered robes sighed deeply, "I know nothing can be hidden from you. You're right. Sometimes what's right is wrong, and sometimes what's wrong is right … The result is right, and everything that happened before is right. "
"I have been obsessed with chess all my life, love chess, and win chess. So, I didn't make a wrong move. Since the final result is winning, then the wrong words in front … I will regard it as a trap. The most important thing to do in life is to have no regrets! "
"Yeah." The old man nodded seriously and said, "Sanchi Lao Dao, I'm about to go on a long journey, so I'm afraid I can't play chess with you … I know you've always won chess, but if I don't go on when the game is in the middle … does that mean this game is a draw?"
Lao Dao, the Third Chi, smiled but said nothing.
The old man in embroidered robes stood up and cupped his hands toward Lao Dao, saying: "I'm busy, so I'll take my leave now."
"Go." San Chi Lao Dao sat still and said with a smile.
The brocade-robed old man soared into the sky, and his figure instantly disappeared into the horizon.
Lao Dao, one of the Three Addicts, flicked his sleeves, and the chessboard in front of him floated into the mountain stream, falling together with the other chessboards that were blown by the mountain wind and hung in the air.
"Some people win by chess, while others win by fate. Now that I'm dead, this game of chess … is my win? How could there be a draw? "San Chi Lao Dao shook his head and sighed.
"Cultivating the Great Dao in Mount Longhu
Six Heavenly Enchantress
Ever since I returned to Xuan Province
The prosperity of the Tao — — "
The voice was filled with vicissitudes of life, surging between the white clouds and the sea for a long time.
Cui Xichen's body landed at the entrance of the Song mansion, and his second son Cui Xinnian immediately rushed over to pay his respects.
"Kill." Cui Xichen spat out words like knives, sternly shouting.
