Within the Xiang family’s territory.
Xiang Tianxiao, the head of the Xiang family, couldn't help but wander around in the family hall with a hint of worry on his face.
Not long after, a tribesman returned quickly and reported:
"Clan leader, the three people from the Chen family who came this time are heading out of Yuyang County, and they are probably preparing to return to the clan."
"Oh? Have you found out what these three people did after they came to Yuyang County this time?"
"Head of the Hui clan..."
After learning about the specific itinerary of the three people, the worry on Xiang Tianxiao's face finally disappeared.
fine.
It seems that the Chen family is not coming for the family this time, which also means that the family’s previous actions were not discovered by the Chen family.
However, the risk of this matter was too great, which made him feel uneasy. After some thought, Xiang Tianxiao quickly whispered a few words in the ears of his tribesmen.
After hearing this, the clan members around him nodded hurriedly and quickly left the family hall.
Night soon fell and the Xiang family's territory became quiet and silent.
But at this moment, the family hall was still bright, and outside the hall, there were several clansmen guarding it.
Following the whispers of the tribesmen in his ears, after a while, a figure slowly walked into the hall.
After entering the hall, this figure asked:
"Chief Xiang, you called me here in a hurry today, but what's the urgent matter?"
Seeing the familiar figure, Xiang Tianxiao immediately dismissed the tribesmen on both sides, and then said solemnly:
"Patriarch Yuan, are you aware that someone from the Chen family has come to complete a family mission these past two days?"
The head of the Yuan family, who was originally quite serious, laughed after hearing this:
"My clan has some spies in Yuyang County, how come they don't know about this?"
"Then why is Brother Yuan so calm? Maybe our crimes have been exposed, and these three people are sent by the Chen family to investigate? It is precisely because of this concern that I called Brother Yuan here."
"Hahaha, Brother Xiang, you are really worrying too much. The Chen family is far away in the Burial Mountain. Although they have recently taken control of Yuyang County, the base they set up in Yuyang County is just in name only. In the past ten years, Brother Xiang, you can see that there are no high-level warriors from the Chen family in that base?"
"Besides, what you and I did was so secretive, and the people we used were all direct descendants of the family. Even the Chen family would find it difficult to know."
"So Brother Xiang, there is no need to worry so much. The three people from the Chen family came here just to complete a family mission. Moreover, now that the three have left, Brother Xiang does not need to worry anymore!"
Yuan Shou said calmly, his words full of confidence.
But Xiang Tianxiao's expression did not relax, he just frowned and said:
"That being said, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If this matter were to be leaked out, I'm afraid our clan would have no chance of survival!"
"Why not just stop here... What do you think, Patriarch Yuan?"
Hearing this, the smile on Yuan Shou's face quickly disappeared, and he turned his cold eyes to Xiang Tianxiao, then slowly said:
"Chief Xiang, this is not the first time that our clan has stolen the Chen family's resources. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back."
"Besides, the Chen family was just lucky, and was fortunate enough to be promoted to a superior family and own three counties. Not to mention your family and mine, who among the many families in other counties would not covet the resources of these three counties?
On the other hand, the Chen family has been negligent in management since they occupied the three counties. They just let our tribes provide resources, but rarely sent people from the tribe to guard the three counties. Do you think it's because the Chen family doesn't want to? In my opinion, the Chen family is promoted too fast, and the last battle took place in the Chen family's territory, resulting in no one available in the clan. So it's not that the Chen family doesn't want to, but that they can't.
Other families are intimidated by the reputation of this family and dare not take action. Only we can take advantage of the situation and seize a ray of hope. As long as our family can rise, will Yuyang County still be the territory of the Chen family? Now our family is trusted by the Chen family, and many resources in this county are controlled by our family. How can we miss such a great opportunity? "
"Or is it that you, Patriarch Xiang, have no intention of prospering the family? If that's the case, then my two clans will stop."
As Yuan Shou finished speaking, Xiang Tianxiao also hurriedly said:
"Brother Yuan, what you said is too much. As the patriarch of the family, how can I not want to prosper the family? I dream of the prosperity of the family."
"That's right. Throughout history, there are only a few families that can prosper. In addition to luck, it is more about opportunities. Just like the Chen family, it was just an unknown small family before."
"The opportunity is now before our two clans. Even if there are some risks, which opportunity is without risks? Chief Xiang, what do you think?"
Facing Yuan Shou's direct gaze, Xiang Tianxiao's worries were completely put aside, and a hint of ambition appeared in his eyes.
Yes, which opportunity is without risk? But many families never saw a glimmer of opportunity until their demise, let alone grasping it.
It's all about family.
Seeing Xiang Tianxiao's calm expression and regaining the composure of the clan leader, Yuan Shou also smiled.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
Just as the two were discussing their future plans, several sounds of applause came from a dark corner of the hall, along with a joking voice:
"Okay, okay, the two clan leaders are really courageous. I am really impressed by them!"
"who?"
"come out!"
Hearing the teasing voices beside them, the two were startled and immediately stood up and scolded.
Under the gaze of the two clan leaders, three figures quickly appeared in the shadows of the hall.
“It’s really wonderful!”
"If I hadn't been lurking here, it would have been really hard to see this big show, right?"
As the three people appeared, Xiang Tianxiao and Yuan Shou saw their faces and the family tokens on their waists and their faces changed drastically. They exclaimed:
"Someone from the Chen family!"
Yuan Shou immediately turned his gaze to Xiang Tianxiao and asked:
"Chief Xiang, what do you mean?"
"Clan leader Yuan, this matter has nothing to do with our clan. According to our clan's investigation, these three people should have long since left Yuyang County! I don't know why they are lurking among our clan."
After Xiang Tianxiao's explanation, Yuan Shou quickly understood that if Xiang Tianxiao really wanted to tell the Chen family about this, the Xiang family would still be in trouble. It can be seen that these three people were not deliberately lured by the Xiang family to hide here.
But the conversation between the two was overheard by the three people from the Chen family. If the news leaked, how would the family survive?
Even though he had just devalued the Chen family, how could his Yuan and Xiang clans resist a family that owned three counties?
Thinking of this, the two of them looked extremely ugly.
Under this critical situation, Yuan Shou quickly recovered and said with a cold expression:
"Chief Xiang, we have come to this point. We have no way out. If we get rid of these three people, our clans will still have a chance to survive. Otherwise, if the matter is leaked, you know the consequences, Chief Xiang."
After hearing this, Xiang Tianxiao's expression changed continuously, but he quickly made up his mind.
