"Clan leader, someone from the Mi family in Cangwu County has arrived!"
A few days later, Chen Tianjing, who was busy, soon received a report from his clansmen.
After hearing the news, Chen Tianjing immediately asked:
"Who is this person?"
"Mi Feng, the elder of the Mi family."
There was a hint of surprise in Chen Tianjing's eyes when he heard the answer.
A few days ago, the two clans had already established a cooperative relationship based on the family blood rice. Although they knew that the Mi family would send someone, they did not expect that the person coming would be Mi Feng, a warrior who had reached the state of unity between man and nature.
This forced Chen Tianjing, who had originally planned to ask other tribesmen to receive him, to go in person.
As the venue where the last banquet was held was still under reconstruction, this time the meeting could only be held in the family lobby.
Soon, Chen Tianjing saw Mi Feng, and the two of them walked into the family lobby.
This was also the first time that Mi Feng came to the Chen family's land. Although the Chen family's land was a little simple, even with his strength at the state of unity between man and nature, he had to restrain his gaze at this moment and dared not look too much, because above his head, the dense locust leaves had already covered most of the Chen family, and also covered himself, so that his body felt a little cold.
Mi Feng, who was under great physical and mental pressure, now understood why the Chen family did not hold the last banquet in the family's clan land. It was probably because the totem of this clan had such a powerful and oppressive aura.
"Patriarch Chen, I apologize for disturbing you so hastily."
"Mi clan elder is too polite. This time Mi clan elder came here, but what's wrong with the matter that our two clans discussed before?"
Mi Feng immediately shook his head and said:
"No, I came here this time for two reasons. First, I want to say hello to Patriarch Chen on behalf of my clan leader. Second, my clan brought a gift to Patriarch Chen."
"oh?"
Under Chen Tianjing's puzzled eyes, Mi Feng quickly spoke to the outside of the hall:
"Bring it in."
As soon as he finished speaking, two members of the Mi family came in, bringing in a figure covered with black cloth.
This made Chen Tianjing even more confused. He didn't understand what Mi Feng meant by this. When the Mi family members nearby uncovered the black cloth covering the man, Chen Tianjing also saw the face of the covered person.
The next moment, Chen Tianjing showed a faint smile:
"I like this gift very much. Thank the noble patriarch for me."
Hearing this, Mi Feng also cupped his hands and said:
"I will definitely convey this message. As for the other members of this tribe, they have all been captured and brought here. Please let Chief Chen handle them."
"Patriarch Chen is very busy, so I won't bother you any more."
"Come here, get some jars of the best rice wine for the elders of the Mi tribe."
"Haha, thank you, Patriarch Chen."
After delivering the rice to the outside of the clan, Chen Tianjing quickly returned and looked at the person who was still unconscious in front of him again.
This person was none other than the family’s old rival at the Mass Grave Hill, the head of the Li family – Li Yongcheng.
Unexpectedly, after many years, the family met this old rival again, but now the offense and defense have changed.
The former great enemy of the family has now become a prisoner of the family. Even without the family taking the initiative to take action, he has fallen under the family's far-reaching reputation.
"Take this man and the rest of the clan to the clan dungeon. I will report this to Uncle Xing Zhen before I deal with him."
"Yes, Patriarch."
At night, in the family dungeon, Li Yongcheng looked at the unfamiliar environment around him and the sealed blood in his body, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
As his memory returned, Li Yongcheng quickly recalled the reason.
A few days ago, he had discussed with his family members and decided to use the passage opened up by Southern Xinjiang on the border to go to Central China and find another way to survive.
In order to escape this time, the family made many preparations. Not only did they abandon some of their members, but they also took all of the family's existing resources with them in order to seek further development in Central China.
Even when the family fled, not even the Zhang family noticed.
Unexpectedly, after reaching the border, Li Yongcheng discovered that if he wanted to go to Zhongzhou via this road, he would first have to pay a considerable amount of resources, and it was based on the number of people.
Given the number of people in the family, if they want to pass, they must pay all the resources the family brings before they can barely pass.
Faced with the choice between family resources and family safety, Li Yongcheng directly chose to abandon the former. After all, the family members were the hope of the family.
But after finally gathering enough resources, Li Yongcheng discovered that if he wanted to go to Zhongzhou, he had to go through a questioning level.
Thinking it was just a simple inquiry, he would just find an excuse to deal with it.
But he didn't expect that under that questioning, there would be an unusual totem object that made it impossible for people to lie.
Under the suppression of the totem power, he couldn't help but tell everything from his heart, and then he was captured on the spot by the people from the Mi family who were present. After all, Miaofeng Mountain also belonged to the territory of Cangwu County.
What made Li Yongcheng feel most unfair was that he had seen people from other upper-class families passing through without this questioning checkpoint, which made Li Yongcheng feel very unfair.
But now that things have come to this, even if there is injustice, he cannot complain.
Looking at the dungeons around him, Li Yongcheng already had some guesses in his mind that this was most likely in the Mi family's dungeon, but he did not see other members of the clan in the dungeon.
I don’t know how the Mi family plans to deal with the family members, but as long as they haven’t gone to the Chen family yet, the family still has a chance.
For example, surrender to the Mi family?
But the family is penniless now, will the Mi family agree?
Or, tell the family all the Chen family's secrets that they know? The Mi family should be somewhat interested in this.
Li Yongcheng's mind was racing, he was already thinking about what he could do next to help his family escape.
I don’t know how long I thought about it, until I heard some harsh footsteps coming from not far away, which made Li Yongcheng stop thinking.
After the cell door was opened, Li Yongcheng was also taken out of the dungeon.
However, after a night of thinking, he had already made up his mind. As to whether it would succeed or not, that all depended on fate.
As soon as he walked out of the prison door, a ray of sunlight shone directly at him, which made Li Yongcheng couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
It turned out that he had been thinking about it all night.
But just as Li Yongcheng gradually got used to the sunlight above his head and looked around, a hint of astonishment suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The terrain around here seems somewhat familiar.
But when Li Yongcheng looked up and saw the huge locust tree above his head, his originally calm face became completely dull.
Even though the locust tree before him was very different from the locust tree in his memory, as an enemy of the family, how could he not recognize this Chen family totem that had caused the family to suffer a disastrous defeat in the past?
The moment he saw the locust tree, Li Yongcheng felt hopeless.
He didn't expect that after capturing him, the Mi family sent him directly to the Chen family's territory, which wiped out the last bit of hope in Li Yongcheng's heart.
He also understood that not only he, but also his family, had no way to survive.
"Uncle Wu, I'm sorry, Yongcheng can't avenge you."
