"Well, I have made the matter clear to you. Whether you will cooperate or not depends on whether your clan leader is willing to take revenge."
"Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely convey what we talked about today."
"If the nobles have this intention, they can just send someone to deliver the message."
Liu Zicheng nodded, then bowed and said:
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
As the old man left, a tribe member stepped forward and said:
"Brother, this old guy might be unwilling to cooperate!"
Shi Po was shocked and sneered:
"It's not up to him to decide whether to cooperate or not. You secretly spread the news to Linquan Village where the Liu family is located and say that the other branch of the Liu family was all the work of the Chen family."
"Brother, this is a brilliant plan. In this way, the head of the Liu family will be forced to take revenge due to the situation. But if he wants to take revenge, he has to cooperate with us!"
Shi Po was shocked and smiled faintly after hearing this.
This was exactly what he was thinking, and now it was time to inform the patriarch about this matter.
With the help of the Liu family, we can destroy the Chen family without having to worry about the Zhou family's problems.
If the plan succeeds, his prestige in the clan will be further enhanced. By then, with the support of the two elders behind him, no one in the clan will compete with him.
However, the two elders are still a little insufficient. He needs to see if he can get some support from the clan leader for this plan, so that he can realize his grand plan.
…
"The elders of the Zicheng clan are back!"
"The elders of the Zicheng clan came back so quickly this time. They must have found my cousin and his family!"
"Hey, why don't I see Brother Yingxian?"
In a wooden house in the center of the village, Liu Zicheng was narrating the details of his trip.
In front, a middle-aged man was listening quietly.
This person is the patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Ziqi.
"Patriarch, cooperating with the Shi family is like seeking the skin of a tiger. I think this is not something we can do."
After finishing the story, Liu Zicheng also expressed his own thoughts.
"It's too late. The tribe already knew the news before you came back."
"Ah? Chief, I didn't convey the message back to the tribe in any other way!"
Liu Ziqi snorted:
"Of course I know it wasn't you. I was still a little confused, but now that I've heard what you said, it's probably the work of the Shi family. They want to use us to get rid of the Chen family!"
"Chief, what should we do? Should we move to another place? Stay away from here!"
Liu Zicheng frowned.
But Liu Ziqi just shook his head:
"No, this revenge can be taken. Cooperating with the Shi family is not all bad!"
"As far as I know, the Chen family has a natural blood spring, and the blood rice comes from that. I think this is the reason why Liu Zishan and his men stayed in the mass grave mountain, hoping to use this natural blood spring to revive the family totem. Unfortunately, they failed and buried Master Qing Ling here."
"If we simply rely on our family's current strength, we will not be able to compete with the Chen family. But if we have the help of the Shi family, our family may have a chance to obtain the natural blood spring, and then Lord Qingshan can recover his previous strength!"
"We will leave after we get the blood spring! Since the Shi family wants to use us to destroy the Chen family, why can't the family use them to get the blood spring?"
"Just like this, isn't it a bit risky?"
Liu Zicheng was quite interested after hearing this, but still spoke hesitantly.
Liu Ziqi sneered:
"The family situation is not what it used to be. If we want to revive, we have to take risks to get out of trouble!"
Hearing this, Liu Zicheng stopped persuading him and nodded:
"All is subject to the clan leader's orders!"
"Well, you should ask the clan members to reply now and say that the family is willing to cooperate, but the family must take 60% of the blood rice!"
"Patriarch, will the Shi family agree to this?"
Liu Ziqi smiled:
"They will. Even if it's 70%, they will agree, because they have no intention of giving the blood rice to us! But the family must take 60%, to show the family's greed, so that they will be careless and not take precautions. Once the family controls the blood rice, they can directly remove the firewood from the cauldron and absorb all the blood spring! Then leave this place!"
Liu Zicheng's eyes brightened after hearing this:
"Great idea, Patriarch!"
…
"Chief, I'm back."
In the family ancestral hall, Chen Xingzhen, who was worshipping the sacred tree, looked at Chen Tianquan who had returned and said with joy:
"What's the situation? Have you discussed it with the Xie family?"
"Patriarch, we have already discussed it, and the Xie family has found a store for the family in Yong'an City. I have also visited the store, and it is spacious and facing the street. However, the Xie family did not charge rent for the store. Instead, they sent the store deed over, saying that it was given to the family."
Chen Xingzhen nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, but did not say much.
Compared with the family's blood rice, a shop is nothing, so just take it. Besides, the family really needs this thing.
But at this time Chen Tianquan was puzzled:
"Patriarch, isn't our family not going to get involved in the fight between the four major families? If our family rashly reaches a cooperation with the Xie family now, will it attract attacks from the other three major families?"
This was also the question that Chen Tianquan was thinking about when he came back, and he couldn't help but ask it at this moment.
After all, these are not taught in books.
Chen Xingzhen shook his head:
"Before, the family had no dealings with the four major families and did not rashly get involved. Naturally, it was for the safety of the family."
"But the situation is different now. Our family and the Shi family are like fire and water. If it weren't for the Zhou family, the two families would definitely not live in peace. That's why the family needs to become stronger quickly and find a powerful and resourceful family to cooperate with. This will be more beneficial to the family's development and will also prevent it from being constrained by the power of the Shi family. After all, the strength of the Shi family in Yong'an City cannot be underestimated."
