Chapter 191: Dock, attack!

“Yunshan, are you wondering why our Kong family wants to win over these royal palaces?”

“I dare not. Since the Patriarch has chosen to do this, there must be a reason for his decision.”

“I am short-sighted and there is a huge gap between me and the Patriarch. How dare I question the Patriarch’s decision!”

Upon hearing this, Kong Yunshan immediately bowed his head and answered respectfully.

“Among the younger generation of the Kong family’s side branch, you are one of the few who are capable of doing things.”

“He is smart and capable, but sometimes he focuses too much on shady tactics and lacks a sense of the overall situation.”

“That Jia Cong broke through the realm of great scholar with the words ‘a gentleman is open and honest’!”

“The Art of War talks about the combination of positive and negative forces, but we should also focus on positive forces and use negative forces as a supplement!”

“If you only rely on shady means, you will never achieve great things!”

“Thank you for the guidance, Master. Yunshan is deeply grateful!”

Kong Yunshan knew that Kong Yanjin’s reminder to him was not a criticism, but a sign of respect.

The future is about preparing to reuse yourself.

So I replied gratefully.

Seeing the attitude of this younger member of the clan, Kong Yanjin nodded with satisfaction.

Then he continued.

“Our Kong family and Jia Cong settled their feud in Shenjing City, just like two parties playing chess.”

“With Shenjing City as a chessboard, even the most insignificant chess piece on the board will be of great use.”

“Although these families don’t have any fourth-level existence.”

“But they are deeply rooted in Shenjing City, with industries all over Shenjing, and the guards of various families have gathered together.”

“In a short period of time, we can mobilize an army of at least 5,000 people.”

“It might be of great use at a critical moment!”

“As the saying goes, a righteous man will have many supporters. This momentum is like a snowball, with these few companies leading the way.”

“More and more powerful people in the capital will come to join us in the future.”

“When the people’s hearts turn, will the royal family still dare to favor Jia Cong like they do today?”

As Kong Yanjin spoke, he couldn’t help but feel jealous again.

This time when going to Beijing, the Kong family has prepared a valuable treasure!
It is imperative to kill Jia Cong in one fell swoop to save face.

But today, in broad daylight, under the noses of the three fourth-level masters of Ziwei Division.

How could Kong Yanjin dare to use his treasure?

“The master is wise, I admire you!”

When Kong Yunshan heard Kong Yanjin’s plan, he was truly impressed.

This situation is much better than his previous one where he risked offending the other party.

The strategy of using Prince Yi Zhong to deal with Jia Cong is many times more powerful.

……

“Master, it’s not good!”

The discussion in the cabin had just ended when the voice of a great scholar recruited by the Kong family suddenly sounded outside.

“What’s the fuss!”

Kong Yanjin frowned.

“Return home, the spy in the capital has just come with a report!”

“Jia Cong took action overnight and cleared out the five royal palaces of Zhongshun, Yizhong, Nan’an, Xining, and Dongping, along with all their properties and personnel in Beijing.”

“Our residence, study hall, and three great scholars in the capital were also destroyed.”

“what?”

Hearing this, Kong Yanjin stood up suddenly.

No longer the same as before.

“Jia Cong, little boy…”

“One day I will chop you into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!”

The five royal palaces were plundered and destroyed, leaving only the empty-handed commander in the city of Shenjing.

Such a shock!

What’s the point of talking about snowballing and people’s will?

Kong Yanjin’s plan was largely shattered before it was even implemented.

Kong Yunshan was still frightened, and his spine felt cold with fear.

Fortunately, I left Beijing tonight and narrowly escaped death.

Otherwise, he would have died at the hands of Jia Cong just like those clansmen who stayed in the capital.

……

“Master, Master Mingxin of the Jingming Sect has arrived!”

Just then, someone else came to report!
“Master Mingxin has arrived?”

Kong Yanjin, who was already furious, suddenly showed joy upon hearing this. “Good! Good! Good!”

“Today, my Kong family and the Jingming Sect have joined forces, Jia Cong…”

“Humph!”

“Go and call the two uncles to come with me to welcome Master Mingxin!”

……

noon the next day
Datong Bridge Pier
Same place, just one day apart!
The twelve large ships of the Kong family docked again.

Hundreds of neatly dressed servants on the shore have temporarily blocked the dock.

The Confucius Mansion is a noble and holy family.

The deployment in the important areas of the capital naturally involves more than just the forces that are visible on the surface.

There are still many hidden players scattered everywhere in secret.

These were the people who were temporarily organized to welcome the Kong family after their residence in the capital was razed to the ground yesterday.

“The Kong family is here!”

“The dignified Duke Yansheng came to the capital, but there were only a hundred servants to welcome him.”

“Not a single one of the civil and military officials in the court sent anyone over!”

“Nonsense, last night, Marquis Jing’an demolished five palaces overnight. Who would dare to do this with such brutal means?”

“Even half of the Eight Great Hutongs have become ruins.”

“When Duke Yansheng entered the capital, no one from the capital came to greet him. If this scene were to spread, the Kong family would lose all face.”

“A dignified and holy family was actually forced to this extent by Marquis Jing’an, who rose to power less than a year ago!”

The guests in the restaurants and teahouses outside the pier were all paying attention to the scene on the pier.

Just like in the past when Duke Yansheng came to Beijing.

A large number of noble families and civil officials rushed to greet him.

Even the dock was blocked by crowds of people.

At this time, the remaining hidden men of the Kong family in the capital city temporarily organized a welcoming ceremony.

It can no longer be described as shabby.

“Welcome the Patriarch to the capital!”

The big ship docked, and the Kong family servants on the shore bowed and shouted together.

Kong Yanjin walked out of the cabin and saw this scene.

Even though he had expected it, his face was extremely gloomy.

The Kong family has never suffered such humiliation.

“Master, I have ordered someone to book the best inn in the capital for the night.”

“For the master to rest.”

Then, the leader of the secret agents who organized the welcoming ceremony reported a few words.

This made Kong Yanjin extremely angry.

It would cost at least a thousand taels a day to book the best inn in the capital.

To ordinary people, this is already a big deal.

But what about the Kong family?
The dignified Duke Yansheng could only live in an inn when he came to Beijing?

What a shame.

This doesn’t need to be thought about before booking the inn.

The leader of the Kong family’s spies must have contacted the families that had been on good terms with the Kong family before.

I want to borrow a mansion to live in.

In the end, no one dared to lend the money, so they were forced to rent an inn.

……

“Lead the way.”

Kong Yanjin took a deep breath and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

The clan members and masters brought from Qufu got off the boat one after another and were about to get on the carriage.

A sudden change occurred!

Above the sky, two huge seals fell from the sky!

The brilliant divine light shines brightly.

One is bright and the other is dark, just like the scene of the rising sun and the rising moon!

Endless murderous intent is hidden in the splendor!
Behind the treasure seal is a statue with three heads and six arms!

Four of the six arms hold treasures evolved from divine power.

The remaining two, one holding a seven-story pagoda, are chilling!

The other one is a pale candle lamp!

This is exactly the divine appearance displayed by Miaoyu.

Holding two powerful seven-refined magic weapons!
Seven-story exquisite ice tower!
White candle light!
