Chapter 408 Who Is in Favor? Who Is Against?

The maid screamed, and instinctively pushed the lady away. Then, in a moment, a short sword appeared in her hand, and she slashed at the stabbing sword.

Clang!

A crisp metal collision sound was heard.

The short sword in the maid's hand broke, and the sword stabbed directly into the maid's chest.

"Rose!"

Madam Duan screamed in a trembling voice.

The maid grabbed the sword with both hands, blood spurted out of her mouth, turned her head with difficulty, and shouted loudly: "Madam, go away... Rose... Don't disgrace... this name!"

The hand holding the sword shook hard.

The maid named Rose's hands were immediately crushed, and a big hole was also slashed in her chest.

She died on the spot.

At this time, several other maids and other servants rushed towards the sword-bearing man like crazy.

At the same time, they all shouted: "Madam, leave!"

"Madam, leave quickly!"

"The master is going to attack you!"

"Run, madam, don't stay here!"

This group of Duan Yuanxin's loyal confidants, who should have stood on Duan Yuanxin's side from the beginning to the end, completely changed their mentality after knowing Madam for just a few months!

At the moment of crisis, this group of people betrayed their original master without hesitation.

Boom!

This group of people are actually quite powerful.

The worst one has the cultivation of a master.

The sword-bearing man probably didn't expect that a group of servants in the backyard of the Duan family would have such powerful strength.

What was even more unexpected was that this group of people would actually risk their lives to protect Madam Duan.

The sword-bearing man was wearing a black mask, and inside was a high-tech body protection device. Even if the black mask was removed, his face could not be seen clearly.

But at this moment, there was a kind of boundless anger pouring out of him.

With a sweep of the long sword in his hand, a terrifying sword energy burst out!

But just when his sword energy was about to sweep over this group of people, a talisman suddenly flew out from Mrs. Duan, who was holding a gardening scissors and had a panicked expression on her face.

This talisman appeared too quickly and too suddenly, and no one could even see where it flew out from!

Bang!

This talisman hit the sword-wielding man at the moment he was about to start a killing spree.

Then, he couldn't move!

The maids and servants in the backyard didn't care about that, and immediately launched a crazy attack on the sword-wielding man!

Although the sword-wielding man was very powerful.

It can even be said that he was very powerful!

In the Shangguan family, he was also a top master.

Although he didn't reach the god level, he had been a peak grandmaster for more than ten years.

But at this moment, when he couldn't move or speak, facing this group of maids and servants in the backyard of the Duan family, he felt a sense of despair.

When all the attacks fell on him, his body... shattered!

Fragmented into pieces!

A cloud of blood mist erupted in the air.

Identity?

It is definitely impossible to find out.

But who cares?

A group of servants were still in shock, and at this time they suddenly thought of a question, where did the talisman come from?

Who is helping them?

At this time, Madam Duan had already thrown herself on the dead maid Rose, her face full of self-blame, tears streaming down her face.

Although the people around her rotate twice a year, she can only get along with each wave of people for half a year, and then she will never see them again. But this does not prevent her from having a very good relationship with this group of people.

She never treats this group of people as servants. No matter who they are or what happens, she will do her best to help.

Madam is a good person.

This sentence is often on the lips of almost everyone who leaves the back house.

Over the years, servants have rotated around her like a revolving lantern, even the personal maids are the same.

But she has a rule here. No matter who the personal maid is, as long as she arrives at the back house, she can only have one name - Rose.

Because she likes Rose.

"Madam, go quickly! The master is going to kill you!"

"Madam, wuwu, I hate you. All of us are here to watch you by the master."

"I'm sorry, madam. The master also ordered me to monitor your every move, but you are a good person, wuwu... go quickly, we will help you block!"

The remaining three maids and four servants all knelt beside Madam Duan and cried bitterly.

Madam Duan reached out and wiped the tears from her face. She looked at them with a look of relief and whispered: "I can't leave. He won't let me go. Don't talk nonsense. This killer is definitely not sent by him. You should go to the master to report the news quickly. No matter what, this matter cannot implicate you."

"Madam, you... you know everything?" A maid named Lily looked at Madam Duan with tears in her eyes.

Madam Duan smiled softly: "Two groups of people are replaced every year, and there is no repetition. I am not that stupid... But this killer is definitely not sent by him. You just say that this killer came here and was killed by you. Go and report it quickly."

"No, Madam, no matter whether this killer was sent by him or not, you can't stay here any longer! Don't you know? The prince has already broken up with the master... openly!" A servant cried while projecting a light screen, which was densely covered with all kinds of news.

Another servant beside him said: "Madam, you are so kind, you are like a snow lotus on a high mountain, and we... We have done many things to let you down, you can't be deceived like this anymore!"

Madam Duan frowned a little bit in anger and said to him: "Don't say that about yourself, you are just following orders, you respect and take care of me on weekdays, how can you let me down? Okay, don't cry, this is a deep courtyard in the house, no one knows for the time being, but it won't be concealed for long..."

"Madam, we have already adjusted the surveillance system to the recorded screen in the past two days!"

After the maid Lily closed Rose's eyes, she stood up and looked at Madam Duan with a determined face: "We have long been fed up with the master's behavior. He is not a human being. I'm sorry! He doesn't deserve such a good wife like you! So, when something happened outside these two days, we discussed it. We must rescue you, Madam! We can't let you become the master's bargaining chip to threaten the prince!"

"You, you... Alas, you are risking your life! Be obedient, he won't do anything to me, quickly adjust the surveillance back, don't let him find you, otherwise you will be in danger!" Madam Duan said anxiously.

"Madam, please stop talking. The master will not do anything to you, but the master's sister... she will not let you go! Also, if you are here, the prince's throat will be strangled. Madam, you know how filial the prince is!" Maid Lily looked at Madam Duan: "We have even planned the escape route for you! While the master is called to the elders' meeting now, go!"

"Yes, madam, don't hesitate! This is not your home, you are in prison!"

"Madam, time cannot be wasted, go quickly!"

"Madam..."

Madam Duan looked at the faces that were young or not young, and sighed softly: "What will you do if I leave?"

"We are all orphans, so we will follow you, madam! Don't worry, no matter what danger there is, we will protect you at all costs! Not for anything else, just because we have never felt... motherly love here!" Lily said, tears streaming down her face.

The eyes of the other people also turned red again.

Mrs. Duan was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently: "In that case, let's go!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the bloody backyard garden and couldn't help sighing: "Let the robot come and clean it up."

This is not a difficult task, it's just a matter of an order.

But seeing the nostalgia and reluctance in the eyes of the lady, the other maids and servants were all very sad and heartbroken.

Such a good lady, the master is really blind!

Fifteen minutes later, an ordinary flying car slowly drove away from here, and after taking off, it flew out of the city.

There were not many flying cars in the sky, so this car was intercepted when it was about to leave the city.

Four flying cars surrounded this flying car in the middle.

The window of one of the flying cars was lowered, revealing a cold face, saying: "The master has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the city..."

The window of the flying car was lowered, revealing Lily's face wearing sunglasses, and she shouted coldly: "You are blind!"

At the same time, a token was thrown directly over.

The people here were in a panic, and finally caught the token, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

This is in the sky!

If you can't catch it, won't the token fall down?

After just one look, the man's eyes suddenly showed shock, and the coldness on his face was put away. He said respectfully: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the master's guard, sorry to bother you..."

As the man spoke, he slowly moved the car closer and exchanged the token back.

The master of the Duan family carries a second-level token, which is second only to the highest-level first-level token, and it is genuine!

He can't afford to offend.

"Okay, we are going out to perform a special mission. Ignorance is not a crime." Lily said coldly, took the token, and was about to close the window and leave.

At this time, the man just now said with some entanglement: "This, there is another process... that is, in your car..."

"What do you mean?" Lily was already angry because of Rose's death, and now she vented some of it without hesitation.

"Hey, hey, forget it, you must be fine, let's go!" He said, waving at Lily.

Lily raised the window expressionlessly, and drove the flying car out of the city calmly.

Soon, this seemingly ordinary but top-performance flying car disappeared in the vast sky.

...

...

In the hall in the center of the Duan family's main city, the atmosphere was depressing and dull.

A group of people were arguing fiercely at a huge round table.

Because of the evidence Duan Yong threw out, many people in the elders' council who originally supported Duan Yuanxin changed their minds.

Whether you have something going on with your sister or you want to support your bastard outside, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the bastard is also the blood of the Duan family, right?

As long as there are enough benefits, everyone will ignore it.

What is justice and what is right?

In the adult world, how can there be so many right and wrong?

It's nothing more than interests and positions.

Duan Yong is too young, and his background is not comparable to Duan Yuanxin at all, and he is Duan Yuanxin's son. Why should the son fight with his father?

So no one is optimistic about him.

But now everyone suddenly found that Duan Yong has some tricks!

And this kid is really a wolf!

Judging from the evidence he brought out, it is clear that he had started planning many years ago.

Could it be that he had already foreseen today at that time?

If not, it can only be said that Duan Yong is more cunning.

Of course, these have nothing to do with their group of elders.

Whether it is Duan Yuanxin or Duan Yong, it is fine for anyone to go.

But the Shangguan family cannot go!

No one expected that Duan Yuanxin would actually give 30% of the income of Tianhu to the Shangguan family?

Oh, wrong, not income, but shares!

Damn it is shares!

In other words, once this thing is done, from now on, Tianhu Star will not be completely owned by the Duan family!

There is still 30% belonging to the Shangguan family!

This is completely intolerable to them, and it is also the worst move made by Duan Yuanxin.

But the problem is that when Duan Yuanxin did this, no one was present at all.

There were only him and the ancestor of the Shangguan family!

He originally planned to force this decision after everything was settled.

Anyway, by that time, even if these people wanted to oppose, they would not have the strength to oppose.

If they are too fierce in opposing, just find a time to kill them.

Just like the Supreme Elder, the dead ones are the ones who have no objections at all.

Who would have thought that this matter was also dug up by Duan Yong.

This is equivalent to sucking blood from these elders!

It would be strange if they agreed!

Even the elders who are still on Duan Yuanxin's side and speak for him are only because they are too deeply entangled with Duan Yuanxin and have been deeply involved and cannot switch sides.

It can't be said that they are not angry.

"Stop talking nonsense," the energetic second elder suddenly slapped the table, and everyone in the hall looked at him. The second elder said lightly, "Today's topic is the impeachment of the head of the family... What were you arguing about just now? Is there any meaning in arguing about those things?"

Duan Yuanxin looked at the second elder coldly, feeling extremely angry. He didn't expect that the person who had the best relationship with him and supported him the most would stand on the opposite side of him.

What kind of benefits did Duan Yong promise you?

The clear voice of the second elder continued to come: "Because more than half of the elders agree to initiate this impeachment, so... I..."

Puff!

An arrow shot from the opposite side of the second elder and directly pierced the second elder's chest.

That position was the heart.

The sharp arrow pierced the heart.

The second elder died on the spot!

The whole hall exploded instantly!

All the other people burst out with a powerful field, looking in shock and anger at the direction where the arrow came from.

On the high windowsill over there, sat an old man with white hair.

It seemed that he had been sitting here for a long time, but the problem was that among so many people present, no one noticed his existence!

The old man held a bow in his hand, and there were three arrows on the bow.

"I just sent one out, and there are three left. Who of you wants it?"

The gray-haired old man smiled at everyone.

"Who are you?"

"How did you get in?"

"You dare to commit a crime in the Duan Family Elders' Meeting..."

The white-haired old man interrupted the group of people with a smile: "Okay, stop yelling, it's a headache, what's there to yell about? Life is short, and the grass and trees are only for a few years. You must learn to look at problems calmly and gently. Don't curse the world and the sky when your own interests are affected a little bit, as if the world owes you something. Cooperation and win-win, understand? What era is it... and you still hold on to that rigid mind."

The Ninth Elder stood up and said angrily: "Who do you think you are? Who is..."

Swoosh!

The white-haired old man shot another arrow.

Everyone saw him draw the bow, and everyone saw him shoot this arrow.

Including the Ninth Elder, who was at the peak of the Grand Master realm, he also saw it.

But he didn't dodge.

An arrow nailed the Ninth Elder's throat and shot his neck through.

The Ninth Elder covered his throat with his hands, staring at the white-haired old man with eyes wide open and an incredible look in his eyes.

Then he fell on the conference table with a plop. The arrow that had already pierced his neck hit the table, and the arrowhead at the back protruded outwards.

The head of the family, Duan Yuanxin, sat there quietly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

At this time, an old man who had remained silent and had not even participated in the quarrel finally couldn't help it. He slammed the table and stood up, first pointing at Duan Yuanxin and cursing: "You are a thief who let wolves into the house! Today, I am here, and you can forget about the position of the head of the family!"

He looked at the white-haired old man and said angrily: "Old thief Shangguan, do you really think that there is no one in my Duan family?"

The white-haired old man laughed and said: "Brother Duan, why do you say that? The Tianhu Duan family is looked up to by the three empires. How can my small Shangguan family be in the eyes of your Duan family? Brother Duan should know clearly in his heart that these people can die, anyway, they will be troubles sooner or later if they live. In fact, there are a few more... But this is your Duan family after all, so I have prepared four arrows in total. It is also a face for Brother Duan."

"You are courting death." The old man looked at the white-haired old man coldly.

"Look, I have explained it so sincerely, why doesn't Brother Duan believe it? Well, speaking of it, the scenic spots in the Holy Empire are really good, that is the real paradise on earth... I believe that your descendants must like those places very much, so none of them are willing to come back."

The old man took a deep breath, and a trace of fatigue appeared in his eyes.

It turned out that all those attentiveness and initiative, all kinds of flattery and gifts in the past were for... just these two arrows today.

The layout of the Shangguan family is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, he can use the power of the Duan family to kill the white-haired old man at all costs, and even use the power of the Duan family to completely eradicate the Shangguan family!

But none of his descendants in the Holy Empire can escape.

Young man, how can he easily come back after going to the colorful world of the three empires?

In fact, it is not just him. Among the people present today, most of the descendants are like this.

So in the end, the old man could only sit down dejectedly.

Duan Yuanxin stood up expressionlessly at this time and said calmly: "Since the procedure for impeaching the head of the family has been initiated, let's continue, so as not to let people say that I am arbitrary."

The second elder fell to the ground, his body was cold, and he died with his eyes open.

The ninth elder lay on the conference table, and the sharp arrow, with a bloody arrowhead, flashed with cold light.

All the people present remained silent, looking at Duan Yuanxin with extremely complicated eyes.

In the empty hall, Duan Yuanxin's loud voice sounded, forming an echo that bounced back quickly, shaking people's eardrums a little uncomfortable.

"Impeach the head of the family, who is in favor? Who is against?"
