Chapter 339
339 Royalist
The Lu family came up empty.
Faced with the Zhao clan’s residence, which was guarded by a golden core patriarch, Lu Wenen naturally couldn’t just rashly head over. No matter how confident he was in his and his cousin’s power, it was impossible for him to be so arrogant as to think that they, who were in the initial and middle stages of the initial enlightenment stage, could fight against a golden core old monster.
After all, the capital of Yan was under the control of the Lu family.
After the matter was reported, the higher-ups of the Lu family immediately took action.
Lu chaoxi was currently tied up with work and could not move. Mingchao was relatively more free, so he had time to come out and hang out.
It wasn’t safe for her to come alone, so she brought her sister-in-law Li Yanling and the Qingfeng sect’s hai Sande along with her.
The three golden pills should not be a big problem in Yan city. If anything were to happen, Yunxiao sect’s ‘cloud-treading sword immortal’ Bai Nantian was still in Yan city. During this period of time, they had been performing the etiquette of the younger generation and were quite familiar with this nascent soul realm cultivator from Yunxiao sect. He was unexpectedly friendly to them and was much easier to get along with than they had imagined.
In the current Yan city, was there still a problem that a nascent soul cultivator could not solve? Lu mingchao did not believe it.
Even if the four great families and most of the high-level cultivators under the power of the Imperial court all defected collectively, there would probably be no more than five golden core cultivators left.
Moreover, such a thing was obviously impossible. If someone with ill intentions could pull so many people over, the Lu family would have received news of it.
After all, the Imperial court had never been a monolithic whole. Apart from their internal conflicts, there were also many cultivators in the Imperial court who were originally inclined to Yunxiao sect or even became officials.
After receiving the news, Lu mingchao, Li Yanling, and hai Sande immediately went to the Supreme Court. Lu Wenen had already mobilized the constables from the Supreme Court. They headed to the Zhao residence at a very fast speed.
Caught off guard by such a sudden attack, the Zhao residence was unable to put up any form of resistance before it was completely controlled.
However, the Zhao family had a lot of people, and it was impossible for them to carry out any major evacuation activities in this short period of time.
However, there were not many people left in the upper echelons.
According to the information, the Zhao clan should have at least 10 to 15 initial enlightenment cultivators. However, only three remained in the mansion. Furthermore, after the Lu family arrived, the three of them were all dumbfounded and had no idea what had happened.
As for the Golden core patriarch, he was nowhere to be seen.
This was not something unbelievable.
When Lu Wenen was discovered while monitoring Zhao Huilin, it was already destined that the Zhao clan would definitely make a move.
It could only be said that the other party’s movements were indeed fast enough.
However, it was not as if the Lu family did not have any plans for this.
People were dispatched from all directions, directly heading to the other of the four great clans, which was the Zhang, Guan, and Mo clans. Each team held an imperial edict.
Lu mingchao had ‘invited’ the Emperor of Great Yan, li Chengzong, to this place before she came.
In any case, li Chengzong was now a human-shaped inkpad, so asking for an imperial edict or something was as easy as asking for it.
However, this matter was still quite important. After all, it was about status and righteousness.
The three imperial edicts had specified that the family patriarchs of the three great families were to immediately rush to the Zhao family residence to see Lu mingchao.
All three clans had sent people, but only the mo clan, mo ruhai, the patriarch, had come personally. The Guan clan and the Zhang clan had sent only insignificant people.
When mo ruhai arrived, his expression was dark.
Of course, he knew why he was suddenly called over.
Even though he had been ordered to come by an imperial edict, it was clearly the Lu family’s intention.
And this time, he had come here personally. Without a doubt, he had clearly expressed his and the mo clan’s attitude.
They wanted to find a way to survive under the new order. Even if the future was uncertain and it might not be as comfortable as before, at least the risk would not be so great.
“Thank you for your hard work, Changqing.” The three golden core cultivators from the Feiyun state still maintained a respectful attitude towards mo ruhai. however, may I ask Tai Changqing if you know what the other three clans ‘plan is? ”
“I don’t know,” Mo ruhai smiled bitterly and said, ” they should be able to guess my attitude. They did not discuss this matter with me.
“Alright,” he said. Lu mingchao nodded and then asked, ” “In a moment, we should be going to hunt down the conspirators of the Zhao, Zhang, and Guan families. Would tai Changqing be willing to come along?”
The bitter smile on mo ruhai’s face deepened.
It seemed that his presence was not enough. From Lu mingchao’s words, he had to submit another proof of loyalty.
The four big families in Yan city were once the four most prominent families of officials in Yan Dynasty. They were powerful and were the emperor’s right-hand men. There was a lot of competition between them, especially the mo clan. In recent years, because they supported the Crown Prince Li Chengzong, they had many conflicts with the other three clans that supported the Imperial grandson Li Xuanhao.
But in any case, these conflicts were not serious, and could even be said to be limited to internal conflicts. In fact, many of the clansmen of the four families had a good personal relationship with each other. There were even many marriages between them, and there were also many collaborations in interests and industries.
Under such circumstances, if mo ruhai were to attack the other three great clans directly, he would be forced to fall out with the traditional powers of the Imperial court.
Mo ruhai really didn’t want to do this.
But now that things had come to this, what other choice did he have?
Or rather, since he was here, it meant that he had made his choice. Right now, it was nothing more than completely throwing away the idea of being on two sides, and standing more firmly on the position that he had already made clear.
He had no choice but to hand over this proof of loyalty.
Even though he was extremely unwilling in his heart, mo ruhai could only nod in agreement after hesitating for a moment.
Lu mingchao smiled and said,”then let’s do it.”
Just as she said these two words, her expression suddenly changed, and she said, ” “They kidnapped Li Xuanhao!”
Everyone’s expression changed, but they immediately reacted.
This was expected.
If he brought Li Xuanhao out, he would really be able to start from scratch and cause a wave of trouble.
It was obvious that the Royalist party could no longer compete with the Lu family and Yunxiao sect in Yan city. Regardless of whether the abdication was real or not, they had to take action.
Other than li Chengzong, who had already become the Emperor and was determined to abdicate the throne in the near future, the only person who could inherit the position of Great Yan’s Li clan’s imperial court was Li Xuanhao.
