Life in the world of film and television

The clan meeting that had been anticipated for a long time by the second and third houses ended with a result that was beyond everyone's expectations after a miraculous reversal.

Su Tan'er's ability to make clouds appear with a flip of her hand and rain with a flip of her hand is shocking and awe-inspiring.

After the meeting, the news spread in all directions as if it had wings.

Many people sighed and marveled, telling others what had just happened.

Although the people of the second and third houses were unwilling to give in, they had to admit Su Tan'er's deception. Such tactics were much better than those of the idle children of the second and third houses. There was simply no comparison.

Those who were previously wavering are now thinking about how to get closer to the eldest wife and how to show their loyalty.

Those who had stayed away from the first wife, alienated her, and even secretly mocked her some time ago are also thinking about how to make peace with her and repair the relationship between the two sides.

There are so many different things.

With Su Tan'er's identity as the future head of the Su family officially confirmed, the entire Su company is gradually moving closer to her.

Su Tan'er was not idle at this time either. She seized the opportunity to stabilize the shaken position of the first house in the past few months, and appeased, won over, and pressured all parties...

In this regard, she was quite generous and tolerant. Just as she and Li Mu had said before, those who had been wavering in their attitudes during this period, or even those who were lured over by the second and third rooms, might not really be optimistic about them. It was just due to the situation. The various operations of the first room during this period were too bizarre, so it was normal for them to be pessimistic and hesitant.

After being warned and reassured, they realized that these people were not necessarily disloyal or incompetent, they just lacked confidence in the first house some time ago.

After being warned, when they experience similar things again, they may be more loyal and more determined than others.

Su Tan'er was busy, and Old Man Su was also busy. Looking at his two sons, Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang, who looked distraught, he couldn't help but sigh. Even though the two were a bit of a jerk, the power was given to the eldest wife after all, so he still had to calm them down and let things go smoothly.

Not only the Su family, the result of this clan meeting was like throwing a huge rock into calm water, and the ripples spread to the entire Jiangning.

Throughout Jiangning City, many large and small business forces that were concerned about the outcome of the Su Mansion were all stunned when they received the news.

After the clan meeting, when Li Mu met Grandpa Su again, he personally handed Su Tan'er's hand to Li Mu and said, "I will leave this granddaughter to you from now on."

Li Mu nodded: "Don't worry, Grandpa!"

Old Master Su nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Zi'an has a good grandson."

Then he turned to look at Su Tan'er, "I originally wanted you to take charge of the family now, but I hesitated for a long time. In addition to your ability, I was also worried that your personality was too strong. Although women should be strong when they are in charge of the family, it is too difficult for you to handle it alone. Now... Grandpa is finally relieved. When Li Heng married into the family, I didn't want to treat him as a son-in-law, and I was afraid that he would not have much ability to adapt. Now... he has the ability."

The old man paused and continued: "With this ability, others can't hurt him. With this ability, he can stand in front of you and carry some things for you."

……

"Grandpa..." Su Tan'er's eyes were a little red.

Old Master Su patted their hands and said, "I'll be relieved if you two take good care of yourself in the future."

……

Watching the old man go away, Li Mu held Su Tan'er's hand and said, "Madam, let's go back!"

……

After the clan meeting, the entire Su clan quickly settled down and its reputation rose to a higher level.

And another thing is gradually coming to an end.

Su Boyong was not a man without temper. Last time he was assassinated, although the assassination attempt failed due to Li Mu's intervention, he was still frightened and was determined to take revenge.

Originally, it was thought that the Wu family was the one behind the brutal measures, but after investigation, it was discovered that this was not the case. There were other people behind the plot, one of whom was Xi Junyu, who was revealed by the Wu family.

The assassination was actually initiated by a shopkeeper in the family, which Su Boyong had never expected.

After Xi Junyu was arrested last time, some means were used. Although his explanation was not very clear, it can be known that there is a force behind him. During this period, there is indeed a force in Jiangning City to find out the whereabouts of Xi Junyu. They approached and even sneaked into the Su family many times to find out the whereabouts of Xi Junyu.

Fortunately, Xi Junyu's arrest and detention were all kept secret, and only a few trusted guards knew about it. The place where he was detained was also an unused warehouse of the Su family. The Su family had dozens of such warehouses in Jiangning.

In order to completely eliminate the power behind Xi Junyu and avoid future troubles, Su Boyong has been making plans, intending to use Xi Junyu as bait to lure out this power and catch them all in one fell swoop.

During this period, Su Tan'er was busy taking over the Wu family's assets and preparing for the clan meeting. After all, Su Boyong was still the head of the big house, and he had the ability and skills, as well as connections. He did not allow Li Mu and Su Tan'er to interfere, and began to secretly plan in private.

After all, the Su family has been doing business in Jiangning for many years, and they have many connections both overtly and covertly, in the underworld and the white world.

One of the largest gangs in Jiangning City, the Hundred Blades Alliance, is the biggest force that the Su family can mobilize in the underworld. The Hundred Blades Alliance is not usually very high-profile, but it is quite powerful. The leader Cheng Lie has a deep friendship with Su Boyong.
After some discussion and planning between Su Boyong and the leader of the Baidao League, Cheng Lie, they decided to use Xi Junyu as bait and ambush a large number of experts nearby to lure out the power behind the scenes. Now, it's finally time to close the net.

When Li Mu and Su Tan'er heard the news, they were curious, while Su Tan'er was worried about her father's safety. The two of them brought a few little girls and rushed over in a carriage.

The ambush was set up at Shibu Street outside Jiangning City. It was a lawless area with a complex population and rampant gangs. Fighting and killing were commonplace here.

Even if a few bodies were found on the street one day, the government would be too lazy to investigate, let alone file a case.

So, it's even more confusing here.

In order to make the forces behind the scenes less cautious and able to attack with all their strength, an ambush was set up here.

As soon as the carriage reached the street corner, it was stopped by members of the Hundred Swords Alliance. The leader was about to scold the carriage and ask it to leave, but Su Tan'er quickly revealed her identity.

The man hesitated for a moment, then let them go and asked the two gang members to lead them there.

As we got closer, we could hear shouts and screams. Then, with a bang, the door was broken down. A man covered in blood rolled onto the street. Several members of the Hundred Swords Alliance rushed out shortly after, swinging their swords wildly. The scene was horrific.

Several little girls screamed in fear and closed their eyes. Su Tan'er's martial arts skills were also quite good at this time, but martial arts were just martial arts. After all, she had never fought or seen blood. Although she had quite good martial arts skills, she was still an ordinary person in her mentality.

Although she didn't scream like the other girls, she also held onto Li Mu's clothes tightly. This was not the first time she had seen such a thing. Once when she was leaving Jiangning, she encountered bandits on the way. She couldn't buy her way through with money, so the two sides fought and she also saw the scene of blood flowing like a river. However, she was not a person in the martial arts world and had never experienced fighting, so it was difficult for her to adapt to such a scene in a short period of time.

Fortunately, he remained calm.

Perhaps it was the screams of the little girls that attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard, and Su Boyong and Cheng Lie came out.

Su Boyong frowned when he saw them, and said worriedly, "Tan'er Liheng, it's so messy here, what are you doing here?"

Su Tan'er also calmed down at this time, jumped off the carriage nimbly, and raised the long sword in her hand: "Dad, have you forgotten that Li Heng and I both know martial arts."

Su Boyong shook his head helplessly. He also heard that his daughter had been practicing martial arts recently. Ning Yi also had the habit of practicing boxing and sword since he entered the Su family. But he just thought they were practicing for fun and to exercise their bodies. He didn't believe that they could learn any martial arts.

However, Cheng Lie looked over curiously upon hearing this, and was surprised to find that Su Tan'er seemed to really have martial arts skills. As for Ning Yi and Ning Liheng, who were famous in Jiangning, they seemed to have martial arts skills, but after a closer look, it seemed that they did not.

He felt a little strange for a moment. The only person who could make him have such a feeling could be a legendary master. He couldn't see through him himself, but how could this young man be such a legendary master?

While thinking in her mind, Su Tan'er walked forward, looked at the two parties fighting, and asked curiously: "Uncle Cheng, who are they?"

At this time, fighting was still going on in the yard, and it was unclear what the outcome of the entire battle was. It seemed that both sides were still in the testing stage.

Cheng Lie was in his forties or fifties, tall and strong, with half of his hair and beard white. He looked like a lion or tiger, with a calm and majestic aura, and a big knife at hand.

Hearing this, he came back to his senses and looked at Li Mu again. He didn't see anything special and answered, "It's hard to say. There are quite a few of them, but... they are definitely not from Jiangning."

Su Tan'er said thoughtfully: "It's not Jiang Ning's?"

Cheng Lie nodded and said, "Yes! They are all new faces, brave and willing to fight. There are no such people in the local area. Judging from their appearance, they seem to be from other places. I'm afraid they are one of the few desperate guys who came to Jiangning during the flood."

Jiangning was a wealthy place, and although there were many people who made money through illegal means and engaged in underworld activities, most of them came from other places. Especially when natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred, a large number of refugees would gather, and many desperate criminals would appear. Many of these people gathered in Shibu Street.

Although this type of people have less impact on large gangs like the Hundred Swords Alliance, they are enough to cause a catastrophic disaster to some small gangs and factions. For people who have no food to eat and are starving to death, it can be really fatal if they play with their lives.

Su Tan'er asked, "Uncle Cheng! Are there any of these people coming from Ezhou?"

Cheng Lie asked: "Ezhou?"

"Hmm... I remember that the man who assassinated your father was from Ezhou!"

"There are all kinds of people in Shibu Street. The desperate criminals who came to Jiangning during this period also often move around nearby. According to the information we have collected, there is indeed a group of people. The largest number of people are from Ezhou, and the leader is called Ou Peng..."

"Are they the ones coming today?"

Su Tan'er said, "Xi Junyu was also the shopkeeper in Ezhou for a period of time a few years ago. It is very likely that he is from this group of people. Uncle Cheng, be careful. Since they dare to come, they must have made preparations."

Cheng Lie laughed loudly, waved his hand and said proudly: "Don't worry, niece Tan'er. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. There is no need to worry about these wild people. They think they are powerful just because they have become desperate criminals. Let them die cleanly tonight and die here."

"Even those who didn't come can't escape. We all know who came to Jiangning to beg for food this year. As long as we know which group they are, even if they didn't come tonight, they can't escape."

Having said that, he looked at the two parties who were still testing each other, and waved his hand and said, "Don't waste time with them, just do it!"

As the words fell, Su Tan'er realized that there were people standing under the eaves and in the shadows of the courtyard. He waved his hand and rushed forward with a sword drawn.

On the other side, a disciple of the Hundred Swords Alliance immediately opened a bamboo tube after hearing this, and lit it with a hiss. Fireworks rose into the sky. At the moment of the explosion, hundreds of disciples of the Hundred Swords Alliance rushed out from the nearby courtyards and alleys, drew their swords, and shouted in unison: "Kill..."

After a moment, the response suddenly surged like a tide, roaring in the night sky: "Kill..."

"Kill..."

The disciples of the Hundred Swords Alliance who were lying in ambush in various places rushed out like a tide and engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Those desperate criminals who had originally arrived nearby were also forced out, and the fight escalated instantly.

At this time, a figure flew towards the room where Xi Junyu was imprisoned. Just as he got close to the roof, he was discovered by Cheng Lie, who roared, picked up a big knife, and flew over. The man also drew his big knife with his backhand and rushed forward. With a bang, the two knives collided, sparks flew, and the two figures intertwined in an instant, ping-pong, the knife light danced, and sparks flew.

The two men fought for a while, and the man was somewhat defeated, and soon half of his body was stained with blood.

After another move, Cheng Lie said, "When death is imminent, leave your name behind."

The man made a "Puh" sound, pushed aside his hair, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Listen carefully, my grandfather's name is Ma Lin! Don't forget it."

The man with the knife was about to charge, but with a loud roar, another burly man holding an iron spear rushed over from the next yard.

Cheng Lie waved the sword in his hand: "Come here, tell me your name..."

The big man yelled, "Have you heard of me, Ou Peng?"

Cheng Lie said: "It is indeed you guys who dare to be so arrogant in Jiangning."

Ou Peng raised the iron spear in his hand and said, "I want to make a living. I will kill the whole family of anyone who stands in my way. I know your last name is Cheng. Will you let him go?"

Cheng Lie frowned, his face looked a bit ferocious, and he laughed coldly a few times. The disciples of the Hundred Swords Alliance realized that their leader was really angry.

"Kill these idiots!"

Cheng Lie swung the sword in his hand and rushed towards Ou Peng first.

Ma Lin was at a loss for a moment. Seeing that Su Tan'er, Li Mu, and several little girls seemed to be ordinary people or important figures, he smiled grimly and rushed towards him with a knife in hand like a madman.

Li Mu looked at the so-called Liangshan heroes in front of him, turned to Su Tan'er and said, "You already have the foundation of internal swordsmanship, and all you need is actual combat. Do you want to give it a try? I'll support you."

Su Tan'er took a deep breath, looked at Ma Lin who had knocked away two disciples of the Hundred Blades Alliance and rushed over, clenched the sword in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay!"

After saying that, he drew his sword and went forward to meet the enemy.

Although Su Tan'er's physical fitness was a little weak, she had already mastered the internal strength, body movement and swordsmanship. Now she put them into practice, and for a moment the field was filled with sword light.

At the beginning, Su Tan'er was still a little restrained. After fighting for more than ten moves, she found that Ma Lin's martial arts was just so-so, and the power of the Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword gradually emerged.

When had Ma Lin ever seen such a powerful swordsmanship? Even in this world, such a powerful swordsmanship was rare. He was inevitably flustered for a moment.

Su Tan'er became more and more confident as the fight went on, and her swordsmanship became more and more fierce. Ma Lin was already seriously injured, and a sword pierced his thigh in a moment. He screamed, fell to the ground, and was tied up tightly by two disciples of the Hundred Swords League.

If Su Tan'er hadn't considered the next interrogation, he would have lost his life.

On the other side, Ou Peng was also at a disadvantage and was in increasingly dangerous situation. A man named Jiang Jing also rushed over, wanting to join forces with Ou Peng. Ou Peng was itching to try his luck, so he glanced at Li Mu, got permission, and charged forward again with his sword.

In a short while, Jiang Jing was captured. On the other side, Ou Peng's head was chopped off by Cheng Lie. Most of the other thieves were also chopped to the ground, leaving only the finishing work.

This war finally came to an end.
