In calm days, there will still be some latent crises after all. This is true for Ye Han, and so is the Ye family. After a fierce battle last night, the family has returned to calm, but in everyone's hearts, they always feel
I was a little uneasy, fearing that what happened last night would happen again.
Early in the morning, Ye Hong convened a discussion meeting with the elite members of the family in the conference hall. The target was the attack last night. Basically all the elite members of the family had arrived, and Ye Hong began to speak.
"Several unidentified men in black sneaked into my Ye family's residence last night!" As he spoke, Ye Hong looked outside the hall, and then continued: "I have obtained relevant clues about their identities!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately began to discuss in a low voice. Seeing this, Ye Hong hurriedly coughed twice to calm everyone's discussion, and then continued: "Actually, the focus of what I want to say today is not the identity of the other party.
But..."
After listening to Ye Hong's words, everyone's faces were suddenly filled with doubts, but Ye Hong almost ignored them, just staring closely at the four old men standing at the front.
Judging from their attire, they are obviously the four elders of the Ye family.
Everyone still didn't know what happened last night, so they naturally didn't understand what Ye Hong meant. However, as the four elders of the family, they already understood deeply that Ye Hong was holding them accountable for not taking action to defend the Ye family last night.
In addition to handling some major events and assisting the patriarch in running the family, the family elders also have the task of protecting the family. However, last night, the four of them failed to fulfill their responsibility to protect the family because of their own selfish desires. Therefore,
Today they were already prepared to be criticized by the patriarch.
Ye Hong suddenly snorted softly at this time, and then said to the four elders as expected: "Last night, there was an intrusion into the family. As the four elders of the family, you should have performed your duties. However, the four of you yesterday
Wan actually hid on purpose, which not only pushed the family to the sword, but also became the laughing stock of other families, so today..."
"Patriarch, you don't know, we also..." The elder confidently wanted to defend himself, but suddenly saw Ye Hong's angry eyes, so he had to give up the opportunity to defend. Besides, he no longer had any chance.
As for the reason for rebuttal, I just thought of making it up randomly.
Ye Hong snorted coldly and said nothing, but the other elite members of the family began to discuss again. The topic basically revolved around the four elders, and most of the discussions were directed at blaming the four elders.
.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the four elders had no choice but to lower their heads. On the one hand, they could better bear the criticism of everyone, and on the other hand, they could also deeply repent. It made people feel a little sad to see that.
Ye Hong never thought of feeling sorry for these people, but when he saw them acting like this, the anger in his chest was greatly reduced. He coughed lightly, waved to everyone, and then said: "I don't want to think about the past either.
There is too much to pursue, but if something like this happens again, I will never let you go lightly!"
Everyone was silent after listening to Ye Hong's words, but the four elders felt as if they were on the verge of amnesty. They hurriedly bowed to Ye Hong and shouted: "More patriarchs will not pursue the favor, and more patriarchs will not pursue the favor."
kindness!"
Ye Hong grinned and said to himself: "It is the greatest kindness you can do me to stay calm for a few days. I really thought I was willing to spare you. If it weren't for the fact that you have made some contributions to the family over the years, and now you can't find a replacement.
If you had chosen someone, I would have destroyed you long ago!"
After catching their handle, Ye Hong still had no scruples. In the past, it was because they had some prestige in the family, so how could he worry so much?
"Okay, we have another thing to talk about today, and that is the identity of the person who invaded our Ye family last night!" Ye Hong nodded, indicating that he would not pursue further, and then said it to everyone.
When everyone heard that the clan leader was going to announce the identity of the intruder, they were naturally full of expectations. Naturally, some of them felt strange about this. Didn't Gangtong say he wouldn't talk about it? Why did he want to talk about it now?
Where is it?
Ye Hong ignored everyone's thoughts, pondered for a while, and then said: "If I guessed correctly, these people must be the work of the Yan Qing Sect, a fire-based cultivation sect in the Lieyuan Empire!"
After hearing the three words Yan Qing Zong, everyone suddenly looked surprised. They had not heard of the name Yan Qing Zong. It was the most powerful sect among the Yan Qing sects in the Lieyuan Empire. Its strength was only
Second to the Yan family.
As the patriarch of the Ye family, it is natural that Ye Hong does not know this. However, people are bullying us now. No matter how strong the other party is, we cannot be afraid. Otherwise, we will be bullied in the future.
Already.
Ye Hong is not the only one who is bloody. The elites of the Ye family are not scared. Although they know that Yan Qingzong is very powerful, but now they are bullying them, everyone is also very angry, and they are all gearing up to do things with the enemy.
The appearance of irreconcilable power.
But the four elders didn't seem to have recovered from the incident just now. They didn't make any move at this time. Ye Hong coughed twice again, woke them up, and then continued: "I don't know.
Do you four have any good suggestions?"
Although the four elders were a little confused, they were still shrewd people after all. Although they did not hear the topic just now, they could still hear some clues from the discussions of the elite families behind them. It turned out that the topic being discussed now was
How to deal with Yan Qing Sect.
The Great Elder recovered the fastest. He pondered for a while and then said: "Since the Yan Qing Sect dares to invade our family, then we should do our best to fight back!"
When the first elder spoke, the second elder could only echo: "Well, what the elder said is right. Since the Yan Qing Sect is bullying others, we don't have to have any scruples and just fight with them!"
"No, risking one's life is not the right choice. Our Ye family has not yet regained its previous strength. If we really have to risk our lives, we are just throwing an egg against a stone!" Ye Hong shook his head helplessly, firmly denying the two old arguments.
"In my opinion, we should just wait and see what happens, wait for the opportunity, and give them a hearty revenge when the time comes, so that they know that our Ye family is not that easy to mess with!" Ye Hong denied the elder's statement.
The third elder suddenly felt that the opportunity to show off had come, so he took the initiative to show his courtesy.
The fourth elder was no exception. He felt that his thoughts were similar to those of the third elder, so he nodded and said: "Yes, yes, since we don't have the strength now, we can only wait and see what happens and wait for the best opportunity."
, teach them a lesson so that they will not dare to invade our Ye family again!"
Ye Hong shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly again. This bitter smile could not help but represent his denial of the third elder's statement. At the same time, he also secretly lamented that the four elders of the family were still divided into two groups and had not yet achieved unity.
"No, we can't just sit back and wait for death. In my opinion, the most important thing for us now is to quickly find out the main reason why the Yan Qing Sect invaded our Ye family. Only when the reason is found, can we find a way to solve the problem!"
Soon, Ye Hong expressed his opinion.
As soon as Ye Hong's words came out, they were quickly recognized by everyone. The four elders knew that their own method was not half as good as Ye Hong's method, so they could only nod in agreement.
After receiving unanimous approval from everyone, Ye Hong continued: "Since everyone agrees with my statement, let's talk about why the Yan Qing Sect in the Lieyuan Empire came to contact our Xingyuan without any reason.
Is the Chengye family an enemy?"
As soon as Ye Hong's words came out, everyone's interest was immediately aroused, and the discussion kept coming to mind, but he himself stood there in a daze, listening carefully to everyone's discussion, obviously wanting to find out something from their discussion.
A little clue.
At this time, the four elders were speechless. You looked at me, I looked at you, their faces were full of different meanings. Seeing this, Ye Hong couldn't help but hesitate. From their perspective,
He saw some clues in his face, but for a moment he didn't know what it meant.
After a while, Ye Hong slowly came to the four elders and asked them: "Did you four think of something?"
The four elders all hesitated for a while after hearing this. Finally, the elder took the initiative to stand up and said to Ye Hong: "Chief, you said that Ye Di and others invaded our Ye family before, and now the Yan Qing Sect comes one after another.
Is there supposed to be some connection between this?"
After hearing what the Great Elder said, Ye Hong was stunned. He had had similar thoughts before, but in the end he felt that it was just his wishful thinking, so he ignored the idea. Now that the Great Elder mentioned it, he began to take it seriously again.
This idea.
After a while, Ye Hong nodded slightly and said: "What you said may be true, but now we have no direct evidence to prove it..."
Ye Hong paused again as he spoke, and then continued: "If you put it this way, it is not without trace. Think about it, when Yanyun Sect was invaded by Ye Qiu and others, why did Ye Di
When the people escaped, there was no sign of them pursuing them?"
With Ye Hong's statement, everyone suddenly realized that if it was really what he said, then all this might involve a bigger conspiracy, but no one could guess what this conspiracy was.
After some discussion, although everyone found some clues, they never found a real solution. In desperation, they had to disperse...~
