Chapter 58 Soldiers approaching Yangshan
In the lobby of the governor's mansion, Shen Huanchi and Shen Jinghua sat on the imperial chairs above, while the family monks stood in a row.
"What do you think about the Lu family?" Shen Huanchi asked everyone.
"Lu Zhengyang has become restless since he became the head of the Lu family. He has tested our attitude several times, but this time it was too direct." Shen Huanyan analyzed.
"Chief, the Lu family has hidden evil intentions in this move, and they should be punished for their crimes!" said a young clan member.
"that is."
"Destroy the Lu family!"
…
Several other young and energetic tribesmen also agreed. However, several older tribesmen shook their heads secretly.
These young tribesmen are used to being monks of the Jiji family, and they are already a little over the top. They look down on the monks of the Qi Lian family. They don't know the relationship between them, but they know in their hearts that if a war breaks out, many tribesmen will die.
Shen Huanchi also saw all this, but did not change his opinion.
"It's inappropriate. You can't attack the Lu family immediately. If you do it without conclusive evidence, it will make people lose their temper. Once someone spreads rumors and causes trouble, those Qi Lian families who are subordinate to our family will also alienate us." Shen Huan Yan immediately refuted the idea of mobilizing troops.
"Fourth Elder, aren't these fishes evidence?" the man asked unconvinced.
"It's possible that this is just a frame-up by others, just to let us destroy our vassal family, and then trap us in an unkind and unjust situation!" Shen Huanyan said.
"Ruiling, what do you think?" Shen Huanchi looked at Shen Ruiling and asked.
"I agree with the fourth elder's opinion. Let's clarify the situation first before talking."
Several elderly tribesmen looked at Shen Ruiling strangely, but they did not expect that he did not have the same impulse as other young tribesmen.
…
"That's enough! I already have an idea, let's go back first!" Shen Huanchi said in a deep voice when he saw the argument below.
After everyone left, Shen Jinghua said:
"Chief, what are you going to do?"
"I am going to recruit the monks of the Lu family on the grounds that Binhu Town has suffered heavy losses and the defense strength is insufficient, and let Lu Zhengyang bring people over to test his reaction. If he doesn't come, there is something wrong in his heart, and then the Lu family will be destroyed. "Shen Huanchi said in a deep voice.
"What if he comes?"
"If you come here, whether Lu Zhengyang knows it or not, this matter will be settled on his Lu family. Anyway, Lu Zhengyang is not stable, so he took advantage of the situation and dealt with him, and is tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes!"
"In a word, use this as an opportunity to get rid of Lu Zhengyang! Don't pay attention to those vassal families. They know what the Lu family is doing."
…
Yangshan Lu family.
"Tell the elders that the Shen family sent someone to send a message asking us to support Binhu Town!" A member of the Lu family said to an old man.
"Here... you go back first, I'll discuss it with the clan leader." The old man sighed.
“Here he is after all!”
...
In the secret room of the Lu family, a middle-aged man was lying naked in a wooden barrel. The man's whole body was covered with scars. The most obvious thing was that he was missing a left arm. He was relying on the elixir in the barrel to restore his broken body.
This person was none other than the head of the Lu family, Lu Zhengyang. That day he led people to dig for mineral veins underground in the Demon Crab Cave. As a result, he encountered a third-level Demon Crab that had returned from serious injuries. Lu Zhengyang led the family's masters to fight to the death and escaped.
But not only was Lu Zhengyang himself seriously injured, but only two of the four elders he brought with him escaped, leaving the entire family traumatized. After returning, Lu Zhengyang did not dare to show his face and hid in a secret room to recover from his injuries.
As the stone door of the secret room opened, the old man just entered hurriedly.
"Clan leader!"
At the old man's cry, Lu Zhengyang slowly opened his eyes and said feebly:
"Sixth Elder, what happened...?"
"Clan leader, the Shen family sent someone to send a message asking you to go to Binhu Town by name."
Hearing this, Lu Zhengyang spurted out a mouthful of blood. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and he asked in a hoarse voice:
"Didn't I already send someone to destroy the demon-companing grass? Why does the Shen family still suspect us?"
"Binhu Town has strengthened its defenses since the monsters caused trouble, and our people can't get close at all." The old man said cautiously.
"Why... didn't you tell me earlier!" Lu Zhengyang said intermittently while suppressing a cough.
"Looking at the seriousness of your injuries, Patriarch, I don't think the Shen family will find out easily. I plan to deal with it after they relax after a while."
After the old man finished speaking, Lu Zhengyang did not speak. He was silent for a long time before he spoke:
"That's all, that's all, it's up to people to make things happen, it's up to God, it's my fault, it's my fault!"
"Clan leader, it's not necessarily that the Shen family knows that we did it. Maybe it was just a simple recruitment?" the old man said.
"Shen Huanchi must have discovered something. As long as he finds out about our Lu family, he will take action no matter what we do. Over the years, he has been afraid of affecting other vassal families, so he has not taken action. This time he finally couldn't help it."
"Sixth Elder, you send someone to send a message first, saying that I will be there immediately, and then during this period, you immediately arrange for the young tribesmen to leave Yangshan and hide themselves!"
"I'll do it right away!" the old man said as ordered.
"I hope it's too late!" Lu Zhengyang thought to himself. At this time, he had long lost his original ambition and only wanted to fight for the last hope for his family.
…
"Clan leader, this Lu Zhengyang has never arrived. The Lu family in Guanyang Mountain has been mobilized frequently. It seems that it is Lu Zhengyang who did it!" Shen Jinghua said.
Yangshan is only five hundred miles away from Binhu Town, and the foundation-building monks can walk there in half an hour, so Shen Jinghua has been monitoring the Lu family's actions.
"What a good Lu Zhengyang, he started to plot against me. I will go to Lu's house personally to see what Lu Zhengyang can rely on!" Shen Huanchi scolded angrily.
"Clan leader, I'll go with you to prevent the Lu family from jumping over the wall in a hurry!" Shen Jinghua said quickly.
"That's fine!"
The two foundation builders of the Shen family left Binhu Town without any news and fled towards Yangshan.
Shen Huanchi did not let the clan members go. Firstly, they could not gather the manpower in a short time. Secondly, it was unnecessary. Even with the formation, a qi-training family was no match for two foundation-building monks, let alone one of them being a formation master!
…
Not long after, Shen Huanchi arrived at the foot of a spiritual mountain. There were rows of houses on the mountain, more than ten acres of spiritual fields were opened at the foot of the mountain, and there were patches of peach groves on the hillside.
The arrival of Shen Huanchi attracted the attention of the Lu family. After all, the cultivation level of the foundation-building period was there.
Looking at the large formation covering Lingshan Mountain, just when Shen Huanchi was about to attack, a monk with a third level of Qi training ran over and saluted respectfully:
"The head of the family asked me to invite seniors to come up the mountain!"
Although Shen Huanchi didn't understand what the other person was going to do, he still followed the man up Lingshan Mountain.
Shen Huanchi was taken to the Lu family's reception hall, where Lu Zhengyang was waiting. At this time, his face was still pale, exuding an aura of decay, and he looked more than ten years older.
Lu Zhengyang retreated from his clan and saluted Shen Huantong:
"Senior Shen!"
"Lu Zhengyang, do you recognize this thing?" After Shen Huanchi said this, he threw out the demon-companing grass.
"I recognize it."
Facing Shen Huanchi's accusation, Lu Zhengyang said calmly.
"Did you attract the third-level monster in Binhu Town?" Shen Huanchi asked with an angry look.
"Yes."
"Bang" a ray of spiritual power shot out from Shen Huanchi's hand and hit Lu Zhengyang's body. He immediately flew out and hit the courtyard pillar. He was already injured, but now he was vomiting blood.
"In that case, you, the Lu family, just wait for the annihilation of your clan!" After Shen Huanchi said this, he was ready to go on a killing spree.
"Senior, please calm down. I am willing to use one thing in exchange for my Lu family lineage." Lu Zhengyang knelt down on the ground, regardless of the injuries on his body.
"What's worth the thousands of lives of our Shen family!"
"This item can make the Shen family more prosperous and create a foundation-building monk in a short time!" Lu Zhengyang knelt on the ground and said.
After hearing this, Shen Huanchi couldn't help but feel a little moved. No family would think that they had too many foundation-building monks, not to mention that Shen Ruiling was almost at the time of foundation-building. The damage to Binhu Town had already been done, even if the Lu family was destroyed, Nothing to make up for.
"What?"
"First of all, senior, please promise to let go of my innocent members of the Lu family." At this time, Lu Zhengyang was like an old man, seeking a way out for his people.
"I can find out by searching your soul!" Shen Huanchi threatened.
"Of course the junior knows about this secret technique, but the senior can only get scattered fragments when searching for souls, and there is no way to get this thing even if there is even the slightest mistake!" Although Lu Zhengyang gave up everything for the sake of his family, he was still a person back then, and he still had arrogance. of.
Shen Huanchi also knew the drawbacks of the soul-searching technique. General soul-searching techniques could only yield some scattered pictures, far from what the person involved was willing to say clearly.
