Bai Changqiu's words were not exaggerated at all. He had agreed to a alliance, but because Mo Zizai had no intention of moving troops in Yining City, those families were a little lazy again.

Except for these families who are closer to each other, those who are far away don’t even plan to come. In their hearts, they even plan to let these counties closer to Yuanling County consume Mo Zizai’s strength first, and when the two sides are almost in battle, they will come out to pick peaches.

Therefore, those who really come to the alliance have a unity mentality, only those who are close to each other. As for those who are far away, either they do not come, or they just send some not-so-important playboys to go through the motions.

If it is those treacherous and cunning heads or those children of aristocratic families trained as heirs, no matter how chaotic the situation of the alliance is, there will be no big problems. But those playboys are different. They are spoiled and have always been the eldest, the second, and the third, in their own territory.

When we arrived at the Alliance, so many people with such tempers could not fight if they hit each other.

If he hadn't taken action a few times, someone would have been beaten to death long ago.

After hearing Bai Changqiu talk about this situation, Situ Yao was not too surprised, but said lightly: "Those old guys sent these people to come, but they didn't plan to join the alliance, or their purpose was to disrupt this alliance."

"Spite the alliance?"

Bai Changqiu was so busy that he was too busy to think about these things before. Now, after hearing what Situ Yao said, he immediately reacted.

Those far-far families were unwilling to be a member of the family or participate in the alliance, but they were afraid that if the alliance really happened, the allied army would force them to join, so they simply took some playboys over.

According to the temperament and nature of these people, if they arrange it casually, it would be strange if they don’t make a fuss here.

If a few people die, they can turn against each other directly on this reason, and naturally they will not participate in this alliance.

"I said how could those playboys be so confident?"

Bai Changqiu's face looked a little ugly when he reacted. Unexpectedly, he was unknowingly made by those old people. Although those playboys were domineering, they were not fools. They dared to be so arrogant here. If they had not been instructed by their family, they would not believe that Bai Changqiu would be killed.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Although he knew the sinister intentions of those old people, Bai Changqiu had no good idea now. After all, those aristocratic families have decided not to participate in the alliance, and they have no way to force them. If they go to their chassis to force them, they may be "missed" there, and they can't say it's right.

“This is not difficult.”

Situ Yao didn't feel any embarrassment. He thought for a while and then asked, "Now, who are those who are willing to participate in the alliance?"

"There are the Hu family in Jiangling County, the Qian family in Yunyang County, the Cui family in Jinkou County, the Wan family in Huaiyuan County, and the Yin family in Tianhua County."

Bai Changqiu has dealt with these people almost every day during this period, so he knows these people well. "Except these five counties, the people sent by the other prefectures and counties are all trouble."

"The Yin family of Tianhua County also sent someone here?"

Situ Yao was not surprised that only four families were truly willing to join the alliance. Tianhua County, which really surprised him, was also here. You should know that Tianhua County is not adjacent to Yuanling County, and he is even one of the farthest counties from Yuanling County.

To put it bluntly, even if all the seven counties in Jiangnan were gone, the imperial army would not threaten them for a while. Unexpectedly, all the people in the seven counties in Jiangnan were not here, but instead people from Tianhua County came. This is really rare.

"right."

Bai Changqiu nodded and said, "The Yin family sent their young head, who is very sincere. However, seeing the alliance in such chaos these days, I am already a little discouraged now."

"It's okay, as long as the person hasn't left yet."

Situ Yao shook his head indifferently, and then said, "The situation is much better than I thought. I thought there were only four counties at most, but I didn't expect that there would be five counties now."

"Since that's the case, things will be much easier."

Situ Yao directly spoke and ordered: "Changqiu, go and invite all the people sent by these five counties."

"Remember, please come here secretly and don't let others notice it."

"Also, in your name, don't disclose my existence to the public."

"OK."

Although Bai Changqiu didn't understand what Situ Yao wanted to do, he nodded and immediately went out to make arrangements.

As the middlemen who run around these days and connect them together, these people who are willing to form alliances still have a third respect for Bai Changqiu, so after Bai Changqiu's invitation on the street, these people did not hesitate too much and took people over.

Although Bai Changqiu only invited eight families, almost every eight families brought several guards, so after all these people arrived, they almost filled Situ Yao's courtyard.

The young head of the Yin family looked at the crowded yard and whispered to the person behind him, "Mr. Gong, there are too many people in the yard. Please stay here with me and let others go out first."

"Yeah, OK."

The man known as Gong Lao nodded indifferently, and then spoke to the person behind him: "You go outside the yard and wait."

"Yes, the head teacher."

Hearing the orders of Mr. Gong, the people who looked like guards following the head of the Young Master Yin immediately turned around and left the yard.

With the head of the Yin family taking the lead, the rest of the people immediately followed suit, leaving only one or two personal guards, allowing the rest to wait outside the yard. As a result, the yard became much wider.

"These days, I'm sorry, Gong is old."

Seeing that the yard was much more purified, the head of the Young Master Yin thanked the old man behind him.

"Nothing."

The old man shook his head and said, "Since I promised the Master Yin to protect your safety, I will definitely not let you get into trouble. You must be too polite."

After hearing what the old man said, Young Master Yin just smiled and said nothing. The person behind him was not an ordinary guard, but the head of Quanyang Sect, a serious human realm powerhouse. If his father had not given enough, how could this person be so easy to talk to?

Just as the two were talking, one of them came up and asked, "Young Master Yin, what do you think Bai Changqiu is asking us for this time?"

"I don't know either."

The head of the Yin Shao family, the Cui family from Jinkou County, shook his head and said, "But if I can't discuss any results today, I'm afraid I'll have to take a step first."

During these days, the head of the Young Master Yin felt a little upset when he saw the Luancheng's alliance scene. If he hadn't been afraid of making enemies for himself, he would have let Mr. Gong kill all the arrogant playboys.

He was extremely disappointed with the alliance. This group of mobs could not do anything at all. If he hoped these people would unite to resist Mo Zizai, it would be better for them to do it alone.

"this……"

After hearing what the head of Yin’s family said, the Cui family suddenly became a little anxious. Jinkou County and Yuanling County were adjacent to each other. If the imperial army rushed south, their Jinkou County would be the first to be affected, so he hurriedly spoke and said, "Young Master Yin, the alliance has not yet been agreed upon, why should we leave early?"

"Agree? What to talk about?"

The head of the Young Master Yin glanced at him and said lightly: "Those counties, even the heads of the people, aren't even sent here, how can we talk about this alliance?"

"Young Master Yin, don't worry."

The sweat on the Cui family was coming out. Although their Jinkou County was rich, even Yuanling County could not match the military. Now Yuanling County could not stop the imperial army, so they naturally couldn't do it. So if this alliance fails, their Cui family would be dead.

So he thought for a while and said, "Young Master Yin, do you think this is OK? Forget it if those people are unwilling to participate. Just our county alliance, what do you think?"

"How? Is Mr. Cui joking?"

The head of the Young Master Yin's face looked a little unhappy. He said, "They're not a single army in the front prefectures and counties. Let us be sent to the last Tianhua County. Do you really think we are fools?"

"No...no..."

The Cui family's envoy was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. At this moment, a voice came from the room, "You can see the threat from the court and take the initiative to come here to join the alliance. The Yin family can be said to be far-sighted, so how could it be related to the word "silly"?"

As the sound came, Situ Yao walked out of the house. He looked at the people in the yard and spoke, "On the contrary, those idiots who don't even understand the simple principle of "death of lips and teeth" are real idiots."

"Well, who are you?"

Looking at the stranger who appeared in the yard, the young master Yin's eyes couldn't help but condense, and then subconsciously took a step back and stood beside Mr. Gong.

"I have met you guys."

Situ Yao bowed to such a person, then introduced himself, but looked at the blank eyes of everyone, he smiled and added: "Guardian of Qianjiang County, Situ Yao."

"The governor of Qianjiang County?"

Hearing these words, everyone reacted instantly, but they were too slow. Qianjiang County has been too low-key in recent years, and Qianjiang County has hardly dealt with them, such prefectures and counties. In addition, they did not expect that Situ Yao would appear here as the county magistrate of Qianjiang County.

"My nephew Yin Zhu, I have met my uncle."

The young head of the Yin family quickly bowed to Situ Yao and apologized: "I didn't think of my uncle at the first time, I hope my uncle will forgive me."

Situ Yao was the county magistrate of Qianjiang County, and the head of the Situ family. In terms of status, he was one generation higher than his family. In addition, Yin Zhu's father also had some friendship with Situ Yao in his early years, so Yin Zhu recognized his uncle and was not a loss.

"I'm too polite. I rarely show up like this old bone. It's normal for my nephew to remember it, so there's no need to blame myself."

Looking at Yin Zhu who came up to make friends without saying a word, Situ Yao nodded silently. This kid didn't say anything else, his reaction speed and human relationships were definitely top-notch. No wonder the old guy from the Yin family was relieved to let him come for such a big deal.

Seeing Yin Zhusheng's salute, the rest of the people suddenly woke up as if they were in a dream and salute to Situ Yao and said, "I have met the head of the Situ family."

These people call the head of the Situ family rather than Lord Situ, which means that these people recognize the identity of the Situ Yao family, rather than the identity of his official.

Situ Yao didn't mind this. After nodding, he said to everyone: "Everyone enters the house and talks in detail."

Seeing Situ Yao turn around and enter the room, Yin Zhu did not hesitate at all and followed directly. Seeing that Yin Zhu had set off, the others looked at each other and had to follow him.

Two rows of chairs were placed in the room. Situ Yao sat in the center of the two rows of chairs. Behind him, Bai Changqiu stood with his hands behind him, looking very respectful.

Seeing this scene, Yin Zhu hesitated for a moment before stepping towards Situ Yao and took Old Gong to sit down with him.

Although the rest of the people were a little unhappy when they looked at the chairs, they couldn't say anything when they saw Yin Zhu sitting down on their own initiative, so they had to find a seat and sit down.

"Uncle, I have something to do with you. I wonder if my uncle can answer it for me?"

As soon as Yin Zhu sat down, he asked Situ Yao directly: "I wonder if Brother Bai and Uncle are?"

Hearing Yin Zhu ask this question, Bai Changqiu glanced at Situ Yao, saw him nodding, and then stood up and said, "I am a teacher's disciple. I have been sitting down with the teacher before and practicing."

"In addition to me, there is another student in the teacher. I think you are familiar with me, Senior Brother Hu Ming."

"Hu Ming?"

Yin Zhu was shocked when he heard this name and asked quickly: "It's Yining City..."

"That's right."
