Indeed, they only had two choices: they could either accept being destroyed by Great Shun or use this opportunity to resist. Even though they were being used by Zhao Fu, there was nothing they could do.
After thinking for a while, the six people could only helplessly agree.
A trace of a smile appeared on Zhao Fu's face as he raised a wine cup and said, "Let's work together!"
The other six people understood that this was a foregone conclusion, so they all smiled and started to discuss the details of their cooperation.
An hour or so later, everyone happily concluded the banquet. The six families were all quite satisfied with the high-quality equipment and medicinal pills that Zhao Fu had provided, and they started to act according to the plan.
The six families' factions immediately banded together and started to show signs of resistance. Normally, they would take a detour when they saw Great Shun's factions, but now, they could face them head-on.
It wasn't just their morale that was rising; the six families also started to interfere with Great Shun's various matters, causing many conflicts to erupt.
Great Shun's people didn't understand why the six families had become so unyielding and confident. Could it be that they weren't afraid of Great Shun's revenge or were they just seeking death?
…
Within the Great Shun Town, a fair-skinned young man – Great Shun's Legatee – heard from his spies about the mysterious faction and the movements of the six families.
Immediately!
Li Mu felt a sense of crisis descend – this matter was a threat to Great Shun. He didn't know where that mysterious faction had come from, but as soon as it had appeared, it had been filled with hostility. Now that it had allied with the six families, Great Shun was in quite a difficult position.
After thinking for a while, Li Mu couldn't think of anything. In the end, a figure appeared in his mind, and he immediately returned to the real world. He took out his phone and dialed a mysterious number.
"Hello! What's up? "
A gentle voice sounded out. Hearing this voice, a look of delight appeared on Li Mu's face, and he said respectfully, "Mister Su, I've run into some trouble. I'd like to ask you for some advice. "
"Oh!"
Mister Su sounded quite surprised, and he had Li Mu continue. Li Mu told Mister Su about the mysterious faction and the movements of the six families.
Opposite him was a gentle, scholarly, and seemingly harmless man sitting on a bamboo chair. Beside him was a verdant bamboo forest, and a light breeze gently blew past, making him seem particularly relaxed.
This man's name was Su Yan, and he was a member of the Vertical branch of the School of Vertical and Horizontal. There was no need to mention his talent. To be able to become a member of the School of Vertical and Horizontal meant that he was destined to be extraordinary.
Su Yan didn't like Qin very much. On the one hand, because of his ancestors, Qin wasn't put in an important position, so he could only assist others. On the other hand, the Vertical branch was defeated by the Horizontal branch, which allowed Qin to unify the other six states.
Now, everyone could see that Qin was undoubtedly the most promising force in Huaxia. Not only was it one of the five superpowers, but it also had the fortune of Huaxia and the Imperial Jade Seal.
Many advantages made Qin's strength destined, and its future was bright and unobstructed!
However, Su Yan didn't like this. If he joined Qin and helped Qin conquer the world, it would be very easy, which was why he didn't like it because it wasn't difficult at all.
As a member of the School of Vertical and Horizontal, he didn't like such ordinary and simple things. He suddenly thought that rather than helping Qin, it would be better to destroy Qin and kill China, the country with the most potential. This was quite difficult, but the more difficult it was, the greater the sense of accomplishment.
In his eyes, the various states were just chess pieces, and the world was just a chessboard. He had no interest in fighting for the world, and he just wanted to be a chess player and enjoy the pleasure of controlling the world.
He also wanted his junior brother to show up so that he could use the world as a stage to fight against him. "Let's see if the Horizontal Branch or the Vertical Branch is stronger. This time, he doesn't want to lose."
After hearing what Li Mu had to say, the first person Su Yan thought of was Qin. However, he had long since expected this, so he wasn't too surprised.
After all, there had always been a mysterious faction spreading, and even though this faction was quite hidden, Su Yan knew who it was. However, the more powerful Qin was, the more he liked it. The more difficult it was, the more excited he was to destroy it.
Su Yan chuckled and said confidently, "It's nothing. It's easy to solve. As long as you can lower your stance, then …" Li Mu was speechless.
After hearing what Su Yan had to say, Li Mu was delighted and said, "Sir, you're indeed a peerless genius!"
After Li Mu hung up, Su Yan put his phone to the side and lightly smiled as he lay on his bamboo chair, enjoying this moment of leisure.
On the other side, Li Mu started to take action according to Su Yan's instructions, and he easily dealt with the danger in an instant.
However, this made Zhao Fu feel quite furious. They had just started to cooperate, but they had instantly betrayed him. The Xia family and Yue family had chosen to betray Zhao Fu's side and join Great Shun.
The reason for this was because Li Mu had lowered his stance and promised them many benefits. He was also willing to peacefully coexist with them and wouldn't invade them. He had even given a portion of Apricot City to them to show his sincerity.
This caused the Xia family and Yue family to betray Great Shun. Compared to the other four families, they were much weaker and didn't have much say. As such, they would join whoever was beneficial to them.
Of course, they weren't stupid and didn't believe that Li Mu wouldn't devour them. However, they understood that Li Mu needed them to resist the other four families, so he wouldn't attack them. Moreover, Li Mu had given them many benefits, so they were willing to betray Zhao Fu and join Li Mu's side.
This not only made Zhao Fu furious, but it also made the other four families furious. He cursed the Xia family and Yue family for being snobbish and stupid, and told Li Mu to get rid of the other four families.
Now, the tables had turned, and Zhao Fu's side was at a disadvantage. After all, Li Mu had obtained the support of the Xia family and Yue family, and his faction was rapidly growing.
The remaining four families definitely wouldn't join Li Mu's side, because if they joined Li Mu's side, Li Mu would have the power to destroy the other three families.
Once those three families were destroyed, they would be next. After all, as the Legatee of a Dynasty, they would have to unify the region before they could expand. When that time came, they wouldn't have the power to resist Li Mu.
They could only die or submit to Li Mu. These were the two paths that Zhao Fu and Yue family could see in the long run, which was why they cursed the Xia family and Yue family for being so stupid.
