Chapter 232

The ones who bore the brunt of the impact were the two old men from the Wu and Zheng Families. Even though these two old men had children and grandchildren, they still vividly remembered the old man's valiant and mighty demeanor.

He had seen the old man's ferocity with his own eyes. Because of the order in which the troops crossed the river, the old man's men had set up their machine guns and were about to make a ruckus …

Now that the old man was angry again, even he was a bit worried. Would he just barge into the Zheng Family?!

If even the Patriarch of the Zheng Family was in such a state of panic, then there was no need to mention the rest of the Zheng Family. The Zheng Family's second generation figures in particular were even more nervous.

In Yan Jing, there was no one who didn't know of Old Man Ji's prestige. If he was angry, there was no need to think too much about whether he could still protect the lower seats of these people. If Old Man Ji wanted to adjust someone, he probably wouldn't even need to say a word.

"Why would she dare to a.s.sa.s.sinate Ji Feng? She's worried that the Zheng Family has been peaceful for too long and wants to cause some trouble for the clan, right?"

… ….

The Zheng Family was in a state of panic. Everyone was worried and fidgety.

The Wu family wasn't much better off either. Although they weren't as fl.u.s.tered as the Zheng family, they weren't as calm as they were.

However, in terms of political power, there was a clear gap between the Wu Clan and the Ji Clan. Most importantly, the Senior Martial Brother of the Ji Clan had been ambushed, so he did not have much power at the highest level of the clan. If Old Master Ji took away the remaining pillars, the Wu Clan's vitality would definitely be greatly damaged!

On the other hand, the Ji Clan was actually quite adept at this task. Even if they attacked the eldest son of the Ji Clan, they would at most delay the attack a little.

All of this was obvious. He only needed to a.n.a.lyze it and he would be able to come to this conclusion. Therefore, the Wu Clan now had a headache.

While he was nervous, the Wu Clan could only think of two ways to settle this matter.

One of them was to abandon the Zheng Clan and let them face the wrath of the Ji Clan on their own. He believed that no matter how angry Old Man Ji was, he would still have to consider the consequences. Therefore, if the Wu Clan gave up on the Zheng Clan, then Old Master Ji wouldn't want to vent his anger on the Wu Clan again.

However, if this happened, the other allies of the Wu Clan, as well as those allies who had pledged their loyalty to the Wu Clan, would also be disheartened. Their reputation would also be greatly affected.

In this critical moment, he had abandoned his allies and kicked those who were loyal to him away, leaving them to fend for themselves. Even if he could protect the Wu family temporarily, in the long run, the allies who were loyal to the Wu family would most likely break away from them!

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Wu Clan finally gave up on this idea.

However, this was not without its drawbacks. At least this way, the old man would lose a lot of face. This was the equivalent of the Wu Clan surrendering themselves to the Ji Clan. To the Wu Clan, this was more painful than any loss.

The Wu family, the Wu family's second generation, and a member of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuxiu's father, were also present, listening to Old Master Wu's lecture.

"This time, we're in a pa.s.sive situation …" Old Man Wu was already very old, and his health was not very good either. Thus, when he spoke, his voice was trembling, "That little girl Zheng Yuxiu, she gave us such a good job!"

"It's all my fault for not being strict with my discipline and making Elder Wu worry!" Zheng Yuxiu's father said, ashamed.

In the living room, all the juniors of the Wu family were listening attentively.

"Since things have come to this, we can only step back. We can only withdraw our fists before we attack and hurt people!" Old Man Wu waved his hand and turned to the paramedics beside him: "Bring me the phone …"

"Lordmaster, how about … Let me ask the highest-ranking officer, your health is still the most important. " A second generation disciple of the Wu family said. This person was the second son of Martial Ancestor Wu, also known as Wu Zhizhong and Wu Zhi, as well as the second uncle of the two brothers.

"You guys don't have that much face. If you let them think that we're being negligent, then I'm afraid they will not forgive us even more!" Old Man Wu waved his hand and said: "I think it's better if I go myself. It's just that if I run over, my old bones will be able to take it. "In addition, if I appear, that old fool will not go overboard. Otherwise, our Wu Clan is not a pushover that anyone can pinch!"

The old man wanted to personally go and beg for mercy, which was a great humiliation for the family. All of this was caused by the Zheng Family, now facing Zheng Yuxiu's father, how could they not be happy?

Zheng Yuxiu's father was really ashamed, embarra.s.sed, angry, and his face looked even more wonderful.

"This Zheng Yuxiu, how did I give birth to such a good daughter!" he thought angrily. "The whole Zheng Family was almost destroyed by her!"

This time, it was fortunate that their family's old man had called Martial Old Man to communicate with him. The Wu family was more loyal, so they were willing to speak up for the Zheng family. If the martial arts family didn't agree to help, then it was hard to say if the Zheng family could still exist.

"This evil creature!" Zheng Yuxiu's father could not help but curse angrily. He apologized to the people of the martial arts family and left in a hurry, this time he had to call back that evil villain Zheng Yuxiu immediately. If he didn't give her enough punishment, he would not be able to stand in the Zheng Family anymore!

… ….

"Lordmaster, are you alright?" Ji Zhenping asked. Although they were on cars and the driver drove smoothly, the old man was old and had been seriously ill before. Ji Zhenping was worried.

"Little San, in the past, you three brothers were the most lively, but also the least talkative. Why are you the most talkative one now?" Old Man Ji chuckled as he asked.

Ji Zhenping could not help but laugh. Ji Yunshu was already over ten years old and was a general. The old man called Ji Feng a "child" and "child", but he still called Ji Feng 'little monkey' …

"Lordmaster, there will always be a time when I grow up." Ji Zhenping smiled. "Are you alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm in good shape!" Old Man Ji waved his hand, smiling as he said, "It's been a long time since this old man went out. I'm afraid many people have already forgotten about me, and I can't wait for me to die. But this time, I'm afraid many people will be disappointed, right?"

"Lordmaster, then this matter …" Ji Zhenping asked hesitantly. After what had happened, elder sister Hong, the honored tutor's personal guard, gave him a call. Afterwards, he accompanied the honored tutor to meet the head of the family, so he had never had a chance to ask the honored tutor for his true thoughts.

"You!"

Old Master Ji shook his head and said, "Little San, it looks like it's the right decision for you to develop in the army. "Even though you're smart, you're not too keen on matters of the political world. In addition, there are many things that you're lacking in. For this, both your brothers are much stronger than you."

"Of course, of course!" Ji Zhenping nodded and chuckled. "Old man, I am not interested in these things. If it were not for the excessive measures we have taken this time, I would not have cared that much."

"You don't have to worry about the little monkey. I believe it won't be long before there's news." Old Man Ji chuckled as he said, "Little Monkey seized the opportunity when he was not paying attention. He took advantage of the opportunity that was set up by others to sing a good play!"
