Urban Martial Arts System - Chapter 99
Chapter 99: A Good Strategy
In the back hall of the Hua family, the patriarch sat on the main seat. Zhou Ping, Huo Churou, and Zuo Miaoyan also sat down.
There was not even one subordinate in the audience, so the patriarch had to make tea for the three. However, how could Zhou Ping let the patriarch do it himself? In the end, he still made his own tea.
The patriarch of the Hua family was embarrassed.
It’s not that the patriarch of the Hua family wanted to neglect the guests. It was true that the Hua family suddenly changed and couldn’t provide any manpower.
The Zhang family’s raid also caused great losses to the guards and subordinates of the Hua family. The patriarch of the Hua family had to reassure his servants and deal with the prisoners. If it weren’t for the Hua family and a few members of the family at home, the patriarch of the Hua family would not even have time to talk to Zhou Ping.
There should be a few juniors to accompany this kind of scene. But it was Zhou Ping, the eldest grandson of the Zhou family. Among those who were qualified to accompany him, Hua Zhuyun was seriously injured and deposed, lying sick in bed. Hua Zhuyu, on the excuse of being messy, wanted to take a bath and change clothes. In fact, apart from Huo Churou, all three people present knew what was going on.
Zhou Ping and the patriarch of the Hua Family were both past people and martial arts masters with keen senses. The two discovered the matter about Hua Zhuyu immediately. However, neither of them could debunk it. It was too embarrassing to say this. Especially Zhou Ping. He was the one who caused this. Although it was unintentional, he knew it would happen beforehand. Still, he did it.
As for Zuo Miaoyan, although she was still a virgin, she had a lot of knowledge. What’s more, she still majored in the magic door technique and was good at charming. As long as she saw Hua Zhuyu’s twisted expression, she immediately guessed.
Only Huo Churou, a truly pure fellow, didn’t feel the weird look. Instead, she asked Hua Zhuyu if she had any discomfort, making Hua Zhuyu finally flee in embarrassment.
Sometimes ignorance could cause the greatest harm. Hua Zhuyu estimated that she would be embarrassed to not show up all day. After everyone sat down, the Hua Family Patriarch began to speak.” I really want to thank Aping. My Hua family would find it hard to escape.”
The patriarch of the Hua family still had lingering fears when he thought about it.
“This is because the Hua family shouldn’t have an accident, so God used my hand to help the Hua family get through this disaster. The so-called catastrophe will have a blessing afterwards. The Hua family can survive such a big crisis this time, and it will be blessed afterwards,” Zhou Ping said with a smile.
“False.” Zuo Miaoyan rolled her eyes secretly. The magic door she cultivated did not have a good impression of the Buddhist practice.
“By the way, what is going on today? Although the Zhang family is very strong, the Hua family shouldn’t be helpless, right? After all, the Hua family is also one of the six major families of Yanping…” Zhou Ping was really puzzled. Today, the Hua family had almost no resistance against the Zhang family. Although there was a reason why Zhang Chengshu was too powerful, the strength shown by the Hua family was indeed not like the strength of the six big families.
“Oh, I should be blamed for this matter.” The Hua Family Patriarch sighed. “I felt something was wrong with the Zhang family yesterday, so I sent my family to several distant allies for help. It was precisely because they were not here that this caused the Hua family to be empty and was attacked by the Zhang family.”
“That’s it.” Zhou Ping nodded, remembering that the bodies he saw were basically guards and subordinates. Even when he arrived in the lobby, he still saw a group of juniors from the Hua family who had little combat power. There was no one from Hua Zhuyu’s father’s generation. Apart from the Hua Family Patriarch, Hua Zhuyu was the only one who could be called a bit of a fighter.
Zhou Ping didn’t ask why the Hua family didn’t ask the Zhou family for help. After all, the Hua family was also one of the six big families. If they encountered a challenge, they wouldn’t ask the Zhou family, the boss of the six big families, for help. It would make the Hua family look too weak. Unless it was a last resort, the Hua family would never ask the Zhou family to help.
Moreover, what the Zhang family did was really not particular.
Originally, when dealing with conflicts between the rich, either everyone confronted each other on the scene or the two parties would agree on a time and place to fight.
The reason why the Patriarch of the Hua family sent all the people from the Hua family overnight was to contact a few masters and seek help. These masters were all arrogant generations, and only the Hua family with sufficient status could be invited to move them. If they send one with insufficient status, they could be sure that they would think they were underestimating them.
This was also the reason why the Hua family did not even have a decent master today except for the patriarch of the family.
Who would have thought that Zhang family would not follow the rules and start a surprise attack.
This approach could be regarded as a sneak attack and was a serious violation of the unspoken rules among the rich.
“What the hell is going on today?” Zhou Ping was very concerned about what happened to the Hua family. The dignified Hua family was beaten and helpless. This kind of experience and lessons must be learned, otherwise if the Zhou family was also attacked in the future, it would be miserable.
“Oh, I’m ashamed to say. Last night, after I sent people, the Zhang family came to visit early this morning. Originally, I thought the Zhang family was here to make an appointment, but no one thought that the Zhang family would attack. After getting inside, they actually launched an attack. The guards of my Hua family fought bravely, but they were not opponents of Zhang Chengshu and others. They could only retreat steadily, and finally were blocked in the lobby.” The patriarch of the Hua family sighed.
Zhou Ping was also speechless for a while. The Zhang family definitely sent someone to monitor the Hua family last night, otherwise it would be impossible for the timing to be so good. This was also a blind spot in everyone’s mind, thinking that the Zhang family would follow the rules. Who knew that Zhang family didn’t pay attention to the rules among the rich.
If the patriarch of the Hua family and others died, the entire Hua family would immediately be in a state of no leader. At that time, the Zhang family would pull another batch and attack. The entire Hua family would be wiped out.
Really a good strategy. It’s a pity that they didn’t expect a peerless genius like Zhou Ping to appear, and he just destroyed the foolproof plan of the Zhang family.
“By the way, I heard that Brother Hua Zhuyun was seriously injured. What is going on now?” Zhou Ping suddenly remembered that Hua Zhuyun seemed to be abandoned.
Sure enough, speaking of Hua Zhuyun, the face of the patriarch of the Hua family suddenly became ugly.
“Ayun’s dantian was abolished, and his meridians were completely broken. I’m afraid he will never be able to cultivate martial arts again.”
“I don’t know if it is convenient for Elder to let me see the injury of Brother Hua Zhuyun? Maybe I can heal him.” Zhou Ping said, and the patriarch of the Hua family “rubbed” and stood up.
