Chapter 222: Chapter 126: The People from the Gate of Immortality Have Arrived, Spirit Gathering Array and Locking Spirit Array_1Jiang Family estate.
Inside the room where the Family Head of the Jiang Family resided.
Jiang Taiqian couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.
Ever since their Shang Heng District Jiang Family’s marriage alliance with the Huai Shui County Luo Family failed.
In Shang Heng District, the Four Great Families Alliance.
Had launched a frenzied attack on his Jiang Family.
In a short period of time, the territories under the Jiang Family’s control either chose to directly defect or were seized by the Four Great Families Alliance.
Even the industries under the Jiang Family’s command
Had been mercilessly plundered by the Four Great Families Alliance of Shang Heng District.
The Jiang Family… was it ultimately going to collapse under his watch?
“Father…”
Just as Jiang Taiqian’s heart grew increasingly desperate and lost,
A figure suddenly appeared outside the room.
It was his daughter, Jiang Xiaoyue.
“Father, is it all because of me?”
“Is it because of me that the Jiang Family is in its current predicament?”
Jiang Xiaoyue’s eyes were red,
With layers of mist forming in them.
“It has nothing to do with you…”
Jiang Taiqian said in a low voice.
“I will go to the Huai Shui County Luo Family again…”
Jiang Xiaoyue said with a gradually determined look.
Jiang Taiqian looked at Jiang Xiaoyue with a helpless expression and said softly, “What for? Why go to the Luo Family in Huai Shui County again?”
Jiang Xiaoyue said, “I want to try one more time…”
“To plead with the Luo Family…”
“I don’t want my reason to lead to the downfall of our family…”
Having spoken, Jiang Xiaoyue then left the room.
Jiang Taiqian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something
But ultimately, he could not speak.
As a father, of course, he did not want to see his daughter go to the Luo Family, humbly begging them.
But as the Family Head,
He carried the burden of the family’s prosperity on his shoulders.
The dual roles made Jiang Taiqian’s emotions extremely complex.
…
Not long after,
Jiang Xiaoyue and Jiang Yan once again left the Jiang Family estate.
And this time, apart from Jiang Xiaoyue and Jiang Yan, no other members of the Jiang Family left.
Whether it was Jiang Wugui, the Young Master of the Jiang Family,
Or the servants of the Jiang Family, none followed.
It wasn’t that those people were unwilling to follow,
But asking for help must be done with the right attitude.
Otherwise, things may backfire.
…
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
Early morning, the sky not yet fully bright.
The temperature around was still slightly chilly, and a thick fog lingered outside, reducing the visibility to not more than ten meters.
At the border between Huai Shui County and Qingqu County,
There arrived an impressively armored and seemingly elite army.
The number of the army was around a hundred thousand.
This force was sent by the leading clan in Yellow Mountain County, the Lu Family.
“Ha.”
“The Lu Family from Yellow Mountain County really showed their sincerity.”
“A hundred thousand iron-clad elites, that’s not a small number…”
In the Luo Family’s military camp,
Right outside the commander’s tent,
Luo Yong, the commander of the Luo Family’s army,
Was dressed in iron armor, cloaked in a commanding cloak.
His eyes slightly narrowed, silently observing the endless looking army in front of him.
“Tang Jian, what do you think the Lu Family is up to?”
“Between Qingqu County and Huai Shui County, it’s clear that Qingqu County has much stronger overall strength.”
“Yet the Lu Family of Yellow Mountain County doesn’t support the Liang Family of Qingqu County but instead fixates on us, the Luo Family of Huai Shui County, what’s the reasoning?”
Luo Yong looked puzzled,
As he quietly asked the tall storyteller beside him, Tang Jian.
“Maybe the Lu Family of Yellow Mountain County, like me, can calculate the future?”
Tang Jian, dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a white feather fan, said calmly.
Of course, he was joking.
“Be serious, stop talking nonsense…”
Luo Yong glanced helplessly at Tang Jian, who seemed somewhat unreliable.
Tang Jian, hearing this, gently shook his white feather fan.
Then he said with a more serious demeanor, “Probably because we’ve shown our cards too many times?”
Luo Yong became even more puzzled, “What do you mean?”
Tang Jian instead of continuing to speak, just pointed at the sleeve of Luo Yong, where three thousand talismans were kept.
Luo Yong seemed to understand something.
“You mean to say, the Lu Family of Yellow Mountain County thinks that our Luo Family in Huai Shui County possesses special abilities to control disasters like floods?”
Tang Jian nodded and said softly, “Not only the Lu Family of Yellow Mountain County but even the Liang Family of Qingqu County across from us may have also realized this. That’s why in recent times, the Liang Family of Qingqu County has hardly had any major conflicts with our army…”
Luo Yong realized, “No wonder I was thinking why the Liang Family of Qingqu County has been so well-behaved recently, not even attacking us. It turns out this is the reason…”
…
Not long after,
The army from the Lu Family arrived at the main battlefield between the Luo Family and the Liang Family.
And they chose a position close to the Luo Family’s camp to set up their camp.
The Liang Family did not attack, but this did not mean that the Luo Family would let them off so easily.
If I want to fight you, and you don’t want to fight, then what do you think of us, the Luo Family in Huai Shui County? A toy?
Summoned at will, dismissed at will?
Don’t joke, the Luo Family cannot bear such humiliation.
