“Chief, it’s bad; our people are injured! Hurry, take them to the Divine Tree!”
“Chief, it’s bad; our people are on the brink of death, about to perish! Quick, to the Divine Tree!”
“Chi...
The head of the Lu family paused when he heard this.
Since the Chen family is launching an attack, they must have a certain level of strength and may even have control over Yelang County. The family’s actions will most likely be discovered.
Without the protection of the family, wouldn't the family resources that were about to be transferred be given to the Chen family for nothing? It even saved the Chen family the effort of searching.
The head of the Lu family, who wanted to understand the key, couldn't help but speak:
"Then what should we do? My clan is relatively close to the three Miao clans. Perhaps the next target of the Chen clan is our clan. Now if the Gongyang clan does not take action, even if we gather the strength of our three clans, it will be difficult to compete with the Chen family!"
Even if we wait until Patriarch Gongyang and others return to the tribe and deal with the Chen family, the family’s resources will be gone by then. It will not be easy to get the tribe’s resources back afterwards.
"I have a plan that can preserve the resources of my three tribes. I wonder if Chief Lu is willing to listen?"
"Please give me some advice, Chief Ma."
"It's very simple. The movements of the various tribes will definitely not be hidden from the Chen family. We should just do the opposite. Nothing in the tribe will change. We will use some fake resources to confuse the Chen family. If the Chen family really robs them halfway, it will be in vain in the end."
"If we delay for two more days, Chief Gongyang will return to his tribe. By then, the crisis will be resolved and the resources of our three tribes can be preserved."
The head of the Lu family hesitated after hearing this:
"This? Isn't it too risky? What if the Chen family remains unmoved?"
"Patriarch Lu, truth is false and false is true. I don't think other families would do this. Besides, my three families still have the strength to fight with the family totem. If we leave the clan, we will have no chance at all. Now that the Gongyang family doesn't help us, we can only rely on ourselves."
"In addition, I have another compromise, which is to divide the family resources into two parts. One part will be taken to the Gongyang family's territory by the clan members, and the other part will be kept in the clan. In this way, no matter where the Chen family attacks, the family can keep a part of the resources."
"As for how Patriarch Lu chooses, it's up to Patriarch Lu himself. I only told you this because of the good relationship between our three tribes."
After parting with the two clan leaders, the head of the Lu family also fell into thought.
After some contemplation, the head of the Lu family also looked determined.
Done!
Family resources cannot be damaged, so there's no harm in taking a gamble.
After all, which family in this world is not greedy? It is impossible for the Chen family to really give up their resources and retaliate against them, right?
…
"Chief, many families in Yelang County have teams heading towards the Gongyang family's territory. They are carrying a lot of resources, and there are also many family warriors in the team. It seems that they are preparing to seek the protection of the Gongyang family."
Chen Tianjing, who was discussing the attack, soon heard the report from his tribesmen.
After learning about this situation, Chen Tianjing looked thoughtful.
On the side, Chen Hanwen said with joy:
"Chief, the Gongyang family must be afraid of our family and dare not send their people to fight head-on, so they resorted to this last resort. I think the family can take action now and rob the teams of various families transporting resources. Then we will see how the Gongyang family will respond!"
"wrong."
Chen Tianjing shook his head.
Chen Hanwen looked puzzled and asked:
"Chief, what's wrong?"
Chen Tianjing slowly explained:
"My clan has already taken action, and the news has already spread throughout Yelang County. Now they are leaving the clan with their family resources and heading towards the Gongyang family. Isn't it obvious that they are asking the family to plunder?"
Chen Hanwen also reacted after hearing this and said hurriedly:
"Clan leader, is there a trick? Perhaps when the clan takes action, the ambushers of the Gongyang clan will rush out and counterattack the clan?"
"But clan leader, our clan has been sending clan members to monitor the movements of the Gongyang family, and we have not found any signs of any clan members coming out of the Gongyang family."
Chen Tianjing shook his head again:
"Perhaps not. If the Gongyang Clan chose to take action, they would not delay until now. Even if they really wanted to take action, they would probably wait until the tribesmen on the border returned."
Thinking of this, Chen Tianjing paused slightly.
Perhaps it is true. The family is taking action now when they see the benefit. If they delay for too long, the people of Gongyang family will come back. By then, the family will not be able to retreat in time, and big problems may arise.
Using the resources of various ethnic groups to lure them in is indeed a big test for many families.
Even Chen Tianjing felt a little tempted. After all, these were resources that were delivered to his doorstep, so how could he not move?
But the family's goal this time is not just to obtain the resources of various clans. The main purpose is to force the Gongyang family to take action by attacking these clans.
If the people of Gongyang family turn back now, the family’s goal will be achieved, and they should evacuate as soon as possible.
But Chen Tianjing was not sure whether the Gongyang family was really on the way to Hui.
Considering the distance from the border to Yelang County, even if the Gongyang family members returned to Hui, I think their speed would not be very fast.
After some thought, Chen Tianjing decided to act according to the original plan.
The main purpose of this time is to damage the reputation of the Gongyang family. The resources from other tribes are just unexpected gains. The family is not tempted. It is good to have them, but it doesn’t matter much if not. On the contrary, the totems of various tribes will not be moved away from the family easily, and they can be sacrificed to the family sacred tree later.
As for the Gongyang family's land, Chen Tianjing was not prepared to take the risk of attacking it.
They would never underestimate the power of the family totem.
After hearing Chen Tianjing's explanation, Chen Hanwen also understood something.
When too many resources are plundered, they will eventually be burdened with resources.
…
The night is quiet and silent.
Under the moonlight, Lu Kaiming was wandering in the ancestral hall, thinking about today's family affairs in his heart.
After he returned to his tribe, he hurriedly sent a team of tribesmen, dragging a number of wooden boxes filled with resources, towards the Gongyang family's land. Of course, there were no resources inside the wooden boxes.
But none of the tribesmen in the team knew this, only the two elders who were in the lead knew it, so they would not be exposed.
Judging from the speed of the tribe members, they should be some distance away from the family now.
I hope I can deceive the Chen family.
As long as we can get through these few days, the family will be able to live in peace.
While thinking in his heart, Lu Kaiming did not forget to pray to the family totem.
The totem of his tribe is a pine tree, half pine and half cypress. They usually offer sacrifices with the blood of vicious beasts, so it is a lower-level totem.
Although they are of inferior quality, they are of great help to the family. The pine leaves can heal wounds, and the cypress leaves can concentrate the mind, which is helpful for warriors to break through the realm.
This is also a spiritual object that the family has obtained with great difficulty. After obtaining it, they have made careful sacrifices to achieve the level it is today.
And the family totem has many other magical powers.
For example, when pine and cypress trees sway, it is a warning.
When Lu Kaiming looked up at the family totem swaying from side to side, his expression suddenly froze.
