Seeing Zhou Honglang's ruddy complexion and a bit of joy in his expression, Chen Xingzhen couldn't help but ask:
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, is there any happy event recently?"
Looking at the others who were loading and unloading blood rice, Zhou Honglang smiled again:
"I didn't expect that Patriarch Chen would find out."
Chen Xingzhen's expression froze slightly. You have written the word "happy" on your face. If he can't see it, he must be blind.
Chen Xingzhen did not interrupt, and Zhou Honglang continued:
"This matter is supposed to be a family secret, but I think it will be made public soon. It's not really a secret, so I'll tell you."
"In a short while, uncle will be the new patriarch of my Zhou family."
There was a hint of surprise in Chen Xingzhen's eyes when he heard the news.
Uncle, I think it must be Zhou Huaian.
Zhou Huaian is about to become the new patriarch of the Zhou family. This matter seems to have little to do with the family. After all, the emperor is far away and he doesn't know the situation of the Zhou family. Who becomes the patriarch has little to do with the family.
But if you think about it carefully, this news is actually beneficial to the Chen family.
The person who connected the family with the Zhou family was Zhou Huaian. Although the relationship between the two was not deep, they had met once after all.
If someone else had been the head of the Zhou family, perhaps the family might not have been able to maintain its current stability.
For a big family like the Zhou family, once one becomes the patriarch, he will definitely have greater power and more resources at his disposal. This is a fundamental difference between him and the patriarch.
Thinking of this, Chen Xingzhen immediately congratulated:
"This is indeed a great joyous event. To congratulate Lord Zhou on becoming the clan leader, my Chen family is willing to offer 60% of our blood rice to the Zhou family next year!"
Hearing this, several tribesmen behind him all looked puzzled, but these words were said by the tribe leader Chen Xingzhen. Even though everyone was confused, there were outsiders present, so they did not ask the reason.
After hearing this, Zhou Honglang also had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Things like blood rice are not too rare for the Zhou family. After all, this thing is not very useful for warriors above the middle stage of the blood coagulation realm. But for a second-rate family like the Chen family, blood rice is of utmost importance.
He didn't expect Chen Xingzhen to be so courageous and give away 10% of his money at a time.
But Zhou Honglang did not rush to agree, but smiled and said:
"I can't make the decision on this matter. Why don't I go back and report to my uncle and wait for his consent before we talk about it."
Chen Xingzhen was not disappointed after hearing this, he just clasped his fists and said:
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Zhou to convey it for me."
"It's getting late, Master Zhou, why don't you take your people to rest for a night and set out again tomorrow?"
Chen Xingzhen tried to persuade him to stay.
Zhou Honglang shook his head:
"My uncle will soon take over the throne, and the clan still has many things to do. I need to go back as soon as possible."
"This is indeed a big deal, so I won't stay any longer. Tianyu, go get a few jugs of the rice wine that we prepared, and have Young Master Zhou take it back. By the way, let Master Zhou taste this year's newly brewed rice wine."
Zhou Honglang's eyes lit up slightly, and this time he did not refuse and gladly accepted it.
Although the family now has blood rice, and the family's wine-making technology is much better than the Chen family, there are quite a few people in the family, but no one has really thought about brewing rice wine.
The falcon came quickly and left quickly.
It didn't take long before the Zhou family members flew away on the wind.
Below, many clan members showed envy on their faces, wishing that the family also had a Wind-Chasing Falcon.
After the Zhou family members left, Chen Tianyu behind them said:
"Clan leader, even if Zhou Huaian becomes the head of the Zhou family, why should the family offer an extra 10% of blood rice? In this way, won't the blood rice available to the family be even less?"
Chen Xingzhen shook his head:
"One percent of blood rice is indeed a lot, and it is also a great help to the family, but some resources cannot be bought with jade coins."
"If the family does not have a warrior in the Qi Control Realm, then it will be forever restricted. Only by transforming the current family resources into practical things can the family become stronger."
"If I remember correctly, the Zhou family has something called the Wind Fairy Flower. It is necessary to establish a good relationship with the Zhou family. Qingyu's talent cannot be buried in the family."
Chen Tianyu and others seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.
Chen Xingzhen looked at the flying Falcon and continued:
"I think the news has already reached Yong'an City. The four major families should not act rashly for the time being."
"Since the blood rice has been harvested, we should go to Yong'an City in a few days to sell the excess blood rice, and also sell the tribe's previous accumulated items, and then exchange them for some natural treasures, especially things like Fengxian Flowers or Arisaema."
"This mission is quite important. Tianyu, you and Tianjing go together. Bring more tribesmen with you so that they can see the world."
"Yes, Patriarch."
The two of them responded.
…
At night, the moon is as bright as water.
“Ouch.”
The sound of wolves howling could be heard in the mass grave mountain.
Following a unique wolf howl, several blue wolves in the Body Tempering Realm took action. They slowly advanced towards the Chen family under the cover of night.
There was a faint light flashing in those sharp eyes.
Faced with the sneak attack by this group of green wolves, the Chen family had no reaction at all.
But when these blue wolves drilled into the holes in the wall, they went dark and lost consciousness.
On the other side of the wall, the tribesmen were also nimble and skillful in their movements.
When the blue wolf heads just came in, they were already prepared. They used a paralyzing herb unique to the mass grave mountain to paralyze the blue wolves. Then they began to pack them up skillfully and bring them into the wolf shed that had been built long ago.
"Qingxiu, which batch is this this month?"
A tribesman asked as he tied up the blue wolf under him.
Chen Qingxiu answered without hesitation:
“It’s the third batch.”
"I heard from other tribesmen that it seems to have had some effects in the past two days."
Taming these blue wolves is not an easy task, but the family is not completely helpless. They can tame them while exploring.
In the past few days, we have achieved initial results, but it will still take some time to fully master them.
But even so, the tribesmen seemed full of energy.
After all, it is hard not to be excited about having a blue wolf of a high level and a fierce appearance as a mount.
"It should be gone. Let's go back to sleep."
"Wait a little longer."
As the sound of a wolf howling was heard again in the distance, several tribesmen no longer hesitated, blocked the entrance of the cave, and turned away.
This time it really wasn't there.
On the hillside, a pack of wolves gathered.
At the top, after the Wolf King gave the order to retreat, several Blood Coagulation Realm Blue Wolves stayed where they were and did not leave.
