On the side, Lu Kaiming, who had a glimmer of hope in his eyes, was filled with despair after hearing the conversation between the few people.
But aren’t all the people of the Chen family trapped within the family?
After a little thought, Lu Kaiming quickly found out where these people came from. It turned out that they were the clansmen that the Chen family had sent to the border before.
According to what several people said, they even escaped from the pursuit of people from the Gongyang family. Such strength is definitely not something that his Lu family can deal with.
At this moment, Lu Kaiming actually hoped that he had lost consciousness so that he would not have to face this heavy fact!
But after Chen Qinghe and the others finished their conversation, their eyes quickly turned to Lu Kaiming standing nearby.
Facing the hostile gazes of Chen Qinghe and others, Lu Kaiming felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.
When someone mentioned him, Lu Kaiming quickly felt that the blood and qi in his body loosened slightly, reaching the point where he could speak.
"Chief Lu, please don't be ungrateful. If you answer my questions, I may spare your life."
"How is the Chen family's battle situation now? What arrangements has the Gongyang family made?"
Chen Qinghe asked in a cold voice.
Lu Kaiming's eyes were filled with anger. At this moment, he wanted to curse Chen Qinghe and others, and then happily go to his death.
But under the overwhelming momentum of several people, Lu Kaiming stammered a few words and finally gave a slow answer.
He admitted that he had such a thought in his mind just now, but under the fear of death, he still compromised.
As the patriarch, he has a family behind him and he cannot die like this.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
After learning about the double lines of defense set up by the Gongyang family, Chen Qinghe and his companions were glad that they did not act impulsively, otherwise they would definitely not be able to return to their tribe.
"Do you know the specific deployment of the Gongyang family in various directions of our tribe?"
"Sir, I am only a subordinate family of the Gongyang family. All my clansmen are on guard around Yunmeng City. I really don't know the specific situation of the battle."
"What else do you know? Tell me everything!"
“…”
Under some questioning, Lu Kaiming was very open-minded and told everything he knew. However, given his status, he knew a lot about his own family, but not much about the Gongyang family. He only knew a general idea about many things.
After he finished speaking, Lu Kaiming was already in despair. As the enemy of the Gongyang family, the family also sent people to encircle and suppress the people of this family. In this case, how could he survive? If he had known this, he would have scolded them angrily and then happily went to die.
Before Lu Kaiming could think more, his consciousness gradually disappeared the next moment.
"Uncle, won't you kill this man?"
Looking at Lu Kaiming who was knocked unconscious, Chen Hanchen asked.
Chen Qinghe shook his head:
"We can't attack secretly this time. We need to make a name for ourselves and spread the news widely. Otherwise, the Gongyang family won't take any action. As the head of the Lu family, this person can spread the news faster."
"But this is not enough. This time we will act separately and meet outside the Gongyang family later!"
"If you want to do it, do it big, otherwise it will be difficult for the family to find opportunities!"
"Okay, we'll all listen to our brother!"
After some secret discussion, Chen Qinghe and his companions quickly disappeared from the Lu family ancestral hall.
…
While Chen Qinghe and his companions were making their plans, a caravan was passing by outside Le'an City.
The caravan was not big, with a total of more than ten people. There were also several horse-drawn carriages in the caravan, and it seemed that a lot of supplies were being transported in the carriages.
But before the caravan could pass through Le'an City, it was stopped by the Hua family warriors stationed there:
"Stop, who are you and where are you going?"
Seeing the dozen or so warriors surrounding them in an instant, everyone in the caravan showed fear on their faces.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a slightly weathered face hurriedly stood up and said:
"My Lord, we are a caravan from Jianwu City, and I am the leader of the caravan. This is my ID. We are doing business with the Li family shop in Yong'an City, and we are specifically shipping some nightshade grass from Jianwu City to this city for sale."
After hearing the middle-aged man's explanation, the Hua family warrior focused his attention slightly, looked at the dozen people in the caravan, and then ordered his clansmen to carefully search the carriage at the rear and find out the identities of the ten people.
Although nothing was found during the search, the leading Hua family warrior had a frown on his face.
Until the leader of the caravan came forward and handed over a heavy package, and said with a smile:
"Sir, this is the Mingye grass that our tribe transports. This grass has a famous use. Please taste it for yourself."
Hearing this, the painter warrior's frown finally relaxed and he nodded slightly:
"Okay, no problem, go ahead."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
After the caravan left, the Hua family warriors turned around and went to report.
What he did here was just the first routine search. There were also family elders who were investigating personally to prevent anyone from the Chen family from getting away with it.
Finally, people from the Gongyang family went to investigate personally. After several lines of defense, the people from the Chen family couldn't get through no matter what.
There are also many caravans traveling back and forth in each city.
Initially, there were not many trade caravans in Yong'an City, but as the Chen family's reputation grew, more and more caravans came and went.
The two lines of defense set up by the Gongyang family were to guard against the Chen family warriors, but not against these ordinary caravans. After all, the prosperity of the city would also be beneficial to the family's future occupation of this place.
Not long after the middle-aged man's caravan set off, a Qi Controlling Realm warrior from the Hua family came to investigate in the air.
After confirming that there was no problem with the caravan, the Qi Control Realm warrior left.
"I don't know what happened here recently. Why is the inspection so strict?"
In the caravan, the middle-aged man leading the group sighed.
He has been coming here for two years, but this time is obviously different from before. He originally planned to rest in this city for one night, but considering the many night-blooming grasses transported in the caravan, he decided to travel overnight.
After encouraging the caravan members and promising to pay more, the middle-aged man turned to a young man and began to admonish him:
"Jing'er, you must be careful when traveling with this caravan, especially the warriors from the various families in the city. You must not offend them, otherwise this business will not be done."
"Dad, I understand."
The middle-aged man felt relieved to see that the young man nodded sensibly.
It seems that Jing'er has become much more sensible this time. After completing this business trip, maybe we can let Jing'er go out on his own next time.
After all, no matter how much you learn at home, it is not as familiar as leading the caravan on a journey in person.
