Phi-Fic Chapter 474: Prelude to a Fight
Chapter 474: Prelude to a Fight
Looking at the hateful eyes of the crowd that were as sharp as blades, Hu Xietu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He was really scared.
On the vast grassland, the rule has always been to avenge grudges on the spot, and there are almost no overnight grudges.
At this moment, facing the gazes of so many people from the great tribes of the grassland, he had no reason not to feel fear.
Even though his father was the Chanyu, the position of Chanyu was not lifelong.
If these families unite, his own family will most likely be ruthlessly driven away. By then, the so-called position of Chanyu will be nothing but an empty title that will become a laughing stock.
"Gorile, you beat someone's maid to death. Pay more money so they can forgive you!"
Hu Xietu pretended to be calm and spoke, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
Hearing Huxietu's words, Gejile suddenly felt dissatisfied. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he heard Lan Yilan say coldly: "There's no need to pay compensation. My maid won't die in vain."
The sound seemed to be wrapped in the cold winter wind, freezing to the bone.
After saying that, she walked straight to Qiu She and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Let's go back today. This matter will never end like this."
Her heart was filled with anger and resentment at this moment. The death of her maid Dema and Gozel's rudeness to her were like a sharp blade, piercing her heart and making her determined to seek justice for herself and Dema.
Seeing Qiu She still refused to give up, Yelu Feng stepped forward and advised, "This matter won't be over easily. He almost beat you to death. We can't just let this go."
Yelu Feng's heart was also burning with anger. When he thought of Gozelle's arrogance and Huxietu's blatant favoritism, he felt extremely aggrieved and vowed to make them pay the price.
Hu Yanzhan had also been insulted in the club today, and he was filled with indignation. He shouted to the people in the room, "The club is closed today, everyone go home."
After saying that, he began to order them to leave, his tone unquestionable.
He looked at the messy club and thought to himself that today's incident was too serious and he had to find a way to solve it, otherwise there would be endless trouble.
Huxietu knew he had gotten himself into trouble today, and panicked. He hurriedly said to Gejile, "Go back quickly and get ready. I'm afraid something big is going to happen."
After saying this, he hurriedly left the club with his guards, Gozel and others.
As he walked, he felt regretful in his heart, regretting why he had been so biased towards Gozel. Now he had completely offended so many people.
After the club closed, Hu Yanzhan went straight to Na Lan's yard.
At this time, Lan Xiongying had just returned. After hearing about this, he was so angry that his face turned blue.
This is not as simple as just beating Dema to death. The key is Gozel's unreasonable behavior towards Nalan Yilan, which is like stomping on the face of the Nalan family.
"I wrote to Xiao Ran. He is now Yelu Qing's deputy general. If he knows about this, he should know what to do."
Yelu Feng said this through gritted teeth, with anger flashing in his eyes.
I remember when Yelu Feng, Xiao Ran and Nalan Yilan went south together, they went through life and death together, and it was such a satisfying experience to settle scores.
Now, Nalan Yilan was bullied by Gojile, and Huxietu openly protected him. He could not swallow this humiliation no matter what.
"We fought side by side back then. How can I let Yilan suffer such injustice now?" His eyes revealed firmness and determination, as if he was ready to fight the other party to the end.
Seeing this, Hu Yanzhan was also filled with righteous indignation and said, "I will explain this matter truthfully to the Grand Marshal. Today, Gojile not only insulted you, but also insulted my Huyan family."
He knew in his heart that this matter was no longer just about personal grudges, but had risen to the level of family honor.
Strictly speaking, the Huyan family and the current Chanyu are from the same tribe. The Huyan family is an extended lineage and they have been of the same blood for hundreds of years.
Now, for the sake of a relative, Huxietu actually disregarded the reputation of his Huyan family. Moreover, Huxietu was only the second son of Dun Chanyu. Such behavior would definitely be criticized by the heroes of the grassland.
So, they wrote letters to their own forces and relatives overnight, and united with the people of Yuwen Chengxi and the Di tribe, who they usually got along well with.
For a moment, the entire Yi Yubei was filled with a tense atmosphere.
The club remained closed for three consecutive days, and the entire Yiyubei seemed to have fallen into a dead silence.
For three days, no one had gathered to discuss matters, and the streets that were once bustling with activity became deserted, with almost no one to be seen.
Huxie Tu clearly felt that he was completely sidelined, and an unprecedented panic surged in his heart.
Moreover, everyone had a vague feeling that a fierce fight might break out between Goerile and the Nalan family at any time.
As the saying goes, when the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will suffer. The people were afraid of being implicated and chose to stay indoors.
Some shops even closed down, and the entire Yiyubei seemed to have been paused.
The Trade Mall in the South Bank's trade zone was keenly aware of the tense situation on the North Bank and quickly issued a notice that it would not conduct any business dealings with the North Bank in the near future and would no longer receive merchants from the North Bank.
They did this obviously because they didn't want the trouble on the North Shore to spread to the South Shore and cause chaos on the streets of the South Shore.
The Black Python Club also notified the North Shore Chamber of Commerce at this time, stating that it would closely monitor the development of the matter, but would not indicate that it would help any party.
Gongsun Mao's decision was actually telling both sides: I will not participate in your fight, but I will sell weapons to you.
The first to react were Huxietu and Gojile. They were already weak and after hearing the Black Python Society's statement, they immediately sent people to test and see if they could buy guns at this time.
"What? They're willing to trade weapons with us? And there's no purchase limit?"
When Hu Xietu learned about this situation, an irrepressible smile suddenly appeared on his face, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.
He thought that as long as he had powerful weapons, he would no longer have to fear revenge from the Lan family and others.
"Gorile, take out your money and buy some powerful weapons. With those powerful weapons, you won't be afraid of them coming to your door."
Huxietu said excitedly, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Seeing that he could buy a gun with money, Gozel was secretly delighted. After all, this was a powerful weapon for fighting between two sides, and it could take off someone's head from a hundred steps away.
But he soon became worried again and said, "But, brother-in-law, won't the Lan family also go to buy weapons?"
Huxietu glanced at Gejile and said with disdain, "Let's buy more and consider it as buying some equipment for my family. Once we buy all the weapons from the Black Python Society, where else can the Lan family buy them?"
Ge Ri Le thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he also remembered that his family was limited, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to eat up all the money I have."
"Are you stupid? Don't I have your back?"
Huxietu looked at Gozel impatiently and said.
"Yes, my brother-in-law is smart. I'll do it right away."
Goerile nodded and bowed, and although he agreed verbally, he had already made up his mind, thinking about how to gain the greatest benefit in this fight.
