Chapter 192: Chapter 116 The Gate of Immortality, the Scheme of White Lotus Stockade?_1
Shang Heng District, Yi Clan’s land.
Within a reception hall where the light was slightly dim.
As Yi Sheng, the current head of the Yi Clan, finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more pleasant and relaxed.
Indeed!
The head of the Yi Clan, Yi Sheng, was right.
If it’s true that Jiang Xiaoyue, the daughter of the Jiang Family Patriarch from one of the Five Great Families of Shang Heng District, has a relationship with Huai Shui County Luo Family,
they really wouldn’t dare to mess with the Jiang Family.
Huai Shui County Luo Family is not any ordinary character,
able to rise quickly and even eliminate the Chen Family, Feng Family, and Tang Family.
Their comprehensive strength is bound to be incomparable to these clan forces of Shang Heng District.
But if Jiang Xiaoyue, the daughter of the Jiang Family Patriarch, has no relationship with the Huai Shui County Luo Family…
then wouldn’t the Jiang Family of Shang Heng District become the plump meat in the pot?
Still at their disposal to manipulate as they please!
“It makes sense, the head of the Yi Clan speaks wisely. If it is as he says, we indeed can gradually swallow up the Jiang Family…”
Inside the hall, as a middle-aged man with a bald head and a bare upper body, and somewhat skinny in appearance, spoke these words,
the other people in the hall also showed a cold smile on their faces.
…
Time flies like a white steed flashing past a gap.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
Throughout this month,
peacefulness and quiet returned to Luo Mountain Prefecture, Huai Shui County.
The common people had food to eat, houses to live in,
and moreover, there were no disturbances from bandits.
Apart from the weather being a little too hot, this place seemed to have really turned into one of the few paradises within the Da Feng Dynasty.
Of course, during this month’s time,
Luo Yong, who held command over a large army, was still stationed with about fifty thousand armored elites in the area bordering Yellow Mountain County.
However, what puzzled Luo Yong was,
what the devil are those bandits up to in Yellow Mountain County?
Are they even going to attack or not?
Damnit, what’s the deal with launching a sneak attack and then running away?
Can’t they be more straightforward?
Won’t they just come and face him head-on?
Frustrated, Luo Yong was feeling unusually frustrated during this time.
Even though he knew that under the circumstances of having Cooling Charms, Rain Seeking Talismans, and Locust Removal Talismans,
peaceful development was undoubtedly most beneficial for the Huai Shui County Luo Family,
it was still somewhat uncomfortable.
Getting hit without being able to hit back,
truly frustrating.
…
At the border between Huai Shui County and Yellow Mountain County,
there was an enormous military camp that could not be seen in its entirety, stationed in the area.
Within this military camp, inside the largest tent,
Luo Yong, the commander of this army, was silently wiping his Upper Tier mortal blade with a clean cloth.
Not far from his side,
was Tang Jian, who wore a Taoist robe and held a White Feather Fan,
who then was sipping on the ice-cold tea in his hand with slightly squinted eyes,
like someone on a vacation.
Seeing Tang Jian, the great deceiver, in such a state next to him,
Luo Yong couldn’t help but feel somewhat irritated,
“Old Tang ah!”
Suddenly, Luo Yong put down the blade in his hand and looked toward the great deceiver beside him.
“Hmm?”
“What?”
Tang Jian briefly paused, then turned his head to meet Luo Yong’s gaze.
“Do you think…”
“Will those bandits from Yellow Mountain County make a move against us in Huai Shui County?”
After a moment of silence, Luo Yong asked in a low voice.
Tang Jian drank the last of the ice-cold tea in his hand, then without any hesitation responded in a low voice, “Yes!”
Luo Yong’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as he asked quietly, “Are you that certain?”
Tang Jian laughed, waved the White Feather Fan in his hand, and then continued, “Do you see it? The fortunes of those in Yellow Mountain County are gradually changing. Blood Wolf Stronghold and Grey Horse Stronghold are still fine, but the domain belonging exclusively to White Lotus Stockade has started to have strands of black air floating above it.”
Hearing this, Luo Yong couldn’t help but break out in sweat.
What do you mean ‘do you see it’?
You this son of a b****, constantly asking when you know damn well I can’t see.
And you never stop talking about this crap every day.
“So, what exactly do you mean, just say it…”
Luo Yong was obviously getting impatient.
This time, Tang Jian didn’t hold back any longer.
“One month, no, within half a month, it is certain that White Lotus Stockade from Yellow Mountain County will launch a second offensive against our Huai Shui County within half a month,”
“And when that time comes, it will be the moment for our Huai Shui County Luo Family to strike.”
…
In Qingshi City, Luo Family Clan land, inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided,
Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, sat silently in the primary seat,
with his head slightly lowered as he dealt with the pile of governance documents that had accumulated into a small mountain on the table.
“Hmm?”
“The Cui Family, as one of the Four Great Families of Jiangnan Prefecture joined with two other major families to launch an attack on the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture?”
“Now, the Luo Family is in imminent danger.”
“And the Luo Family actually thinks of requesting assistance from our Luo Family?”
Upon reading this, Luo Ping couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
Helping that Luo Family was, of course, out of the question.
Initially, why did our Luo Family establish a friendship with the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture?
To be able to trade food with the Luo Family of Jiangnan Prefecture,
and thus temporarily relieve the awkward situation of shortage of grain for our Luo Family.
