Chapter 1308 East and West Xiangji Temple
Long Jiang knew whether the inner tribe would accept him, which was one of the reasons why he chose to accept the expulsion. It was not just a formality.
What if the inner tribe accepts it?
Although he knew it was almost impossible, because the Long family was not only powerful enough with the surname Long, but also with other surnames accounting for about 60%.
If it can be accepted, it will definitely be a huge shock to the inner tribe.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Dragon Emperor to accept them. Even if he does, he will only accept people with the surname Long, and the conditions will definitely be very harsh, so I'm afraid he won't be able to accept them.
Can you give up others?
Of course they will not give up. The Long family is a powerful force and they cannot do without any one of them. They must be a whole. Throwing away any of the surnames will be heartbreaking.
They must advance and retreat together, otherwise they will collapse internally without waiting for the inner tribes to take action.
So Longjiang wanted to accept Lei Zhen's farewell and drink with him, but he didn't expect that after drinking, he realized that he was too narrow-minded.
"Baby, come here."
During the break, Longjiang called his daughter to his side.
"Dad, drink some water."
Long Bao was very well-behaved. After the water was handed over, he quickly massaged his father's shoulders and back, trying his best to avoid his father's gaze.
"Who told you to make decisions on your own? Even if you want to sacrifice for the family, you have to ask for my opinion! How can a good girl get married to someone secretly like this? How can it be disrespectful?" Long Jiang scolded angrily.
What he said was still light. He was already old, so of course he could see what his daughter had been through, but it was not easy for him to point it out directly, so he could only say that they had secretly decided to spend their lives together.
His words were filled with annoyance. He never expected that his beloved daughter would be so willful and just follow Lei Zhen. Even if she had to sacrifice herself, this was not the way to do it.
"I don't want to sacrifice myself for my family. I like Lei Zhen."
“You, you—”
"Dad, there are only two men who catch my eye. One is you, and the other is Lei Zhen. Now that I've met Lei Zhen, why can't I seize my own happiness?"
"He has many women, too many to count!"
"So what? Apart from Zhu Hongyu, they are basically just pretty faces. Even if they weren't pretty faces, they wouldn't be able to help him much. I don't want to fight with them in the palace. It's meaningless."
Bold and willful, Long Bao simply let go.
Anyway, I have done what I should do. I will be Lei Zhen’s woman for the rest of my life. It’s useless for my father to be angry.
"I've spoiled you too much. You're simply... a disgrace to our family!"
"Don't you admire Lei Zhen very much?"
"I appreciate it, but you are my daughter!"
"Dad, you can imagine Lei Zhen calling you dad from now on. Today, you were just tricked by your son. Isn't it normal for a father to be inferior to his son? Being tricked by his son is not a trick at all. If anyone has a son like this, they would laugh in their dreams."
PUA, standard PUA!
Long Bao has studied psychology and has profound attainments in it.
After this round of PUA, Long Jiang suddenly felt a sense of smug joy: Lei Zhen calling me dad feels pretty good...
"Inside, our Long family will help your son stabilize the rear, allowing him to focus on his work outside. This will be a good thing for our family, Lei Zhen, and even the country."
"Haven't you always thought that Second Brother was useless? Now, you can throw Second Brother to your son Lei Zhen. Maybe he will become a useful person in no time."
"Anyway, you know exactly whether the inner tribe will accept us or not. The reason you chose to accept expulsion is to completely break with the inner tribe. After the break, you will have to go through the motions when you return..."
The daughter's words came one after another, making the Dragon Chief so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, but he didn't say a word of scolding.
He had thought about these things a long time ago. The eldest brother couldn't guess it, and the other families couldn't guess it, but his daughter had it all figured out.
Not only did he express his own thoughts, he also guessed exactly what Lei Zhen was thinking.
He wanted to use this opportunity to completely get rid of the inner clan, while Lei Zhen wanted to use himself to isolate the Dragon Emperor, so as to achieve his strategic goal within the prominent family.
"Dad, stop pretending to be angry. You and your son combined must have a total of ten thousand cunning minds. Now that you know what your son Lei Zhen wants to do, why don't you be more generous?"
"No matter how good your daughter is, she will eventually belong to someone else's family. Do you think there is anyone better than your son Lei Zhen? Although he has many women, he knows how to love his wives. Your daughter will not be bullied."
At this moment, Long Jiang completely understood what it meant when a girl grows up and cannot be kept at home. To think that such words could be said, and even called him your son Lei Zhen...
"Baby, Dad thinks you're cunning." Long Jiang said with a wry smile, "Lei Zhen is a good person, but he's... You must not be too clever. You must put yourself in the right place. Now that you've made your choice, you must live your life with him honestly."
"Dad, don't worry. I won't use my tricks on Lei Zhen. He's a mean-spirited person with a bad temper. He won't tolerate being played tricks on. I will only love my husband and help him solve his problems."
"If Lei Zhen is fine, I am fine too. If I am fine, our family will be fine, we will all be fine, and Dongfang will be fine. Your dragon baby has been taught well by you. He knows that moderation is the most important thing, and that not competing is the greatest competition."
Seeing his daughter's serious expression, Long Jiang sighed again: "My daughter, whom I worked so hard for, has finally come to be fed to the dogs! Lei Zhen, Lei Zhen, if you let my daughter suffer any injustice, I will overturn your table!"
There are not many people in the country who can overturn the table of Lei Zhen.
But Longjiang can definitely do it. Even if he loses in the end, he will make his son-in-law suffer heavy losses and be in a miserable state.
…
Savage Mountain Town.
Lei Zhen sat steadily in the central military tent, staring at the sand table in front of him.
The sand table is a valley plain. In ancient times, it would be a place where cavalry could show their skills. Now he created this kind of terrain as the final step to consolidate the rear.
"Andy Valley?"
When Sun Yinhu saw the sand table, he immediately called out the name.
This is an area where the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent meet. It is a grassland area with relatively simple terrain and is not a place that must be fought over by military strategists.
"Hu Zi, how many people can Andi Valley deploy?" Lei Zhen asked.
"At least 100,000 people can be deployed, but the terrain is too simple to set up an ambush. Even positional warfare is difficult, and it is a graveyard for large-scale corps combat." Sun Yinhu shook his head.
The Andean Valley is just one big plain, hardly conducive to any kind of warfare.
He couldn't understand why the master turned this area into a sand table, which was completely inconsistent with their combat philosophy.
"Yes, it's a graveyard, a meat grinder." Lei Zhen nodded and said, "If both sides each deploy 50,000 men to fight, how many will survive in the end?"
"Not many will survive." Sun Yinhu smacked his lips.
Are you crazy?
Can one hundred thousand people survive if they clash in this kind of terrain?
If there is a big gap in strength between the two sides, it is still easy to deal with, and the situation will be one-sided. But if the difference in strength is not big, blood and flesh will fly everywhere.
"Let's change its name—" Lei Zhen pointed at the sand table and said, "East and West Xiangji Temple."
The Battle of Xiangji Temple was the pinnacle of pure cold weapon warfare, a real meat grinder.
