Xiao Yue's voice was not loud. When she first spoke, there were still some subtle sounds coming from the crowd around her, but after she said a few words, the surrounding area immediately became quiet.
When she mentioned that she wanted to activate the formation to send away more people, and needed more strong men to drive the formation with their lives, the surroundings became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Even at this moment, there was no sound of breathing around her.
They have almost completely disappeared. If you look carefully, you will find that almost all the people around you are subconsciously holding their breath.
First, they were shocked by Xiao Yue's words. They were not prepared at all. How could they remain calm after hearing the news suddenly.
At this time, everyone felt as if there were bursts of thunder echoing in their minds, so shocked that they even felt that their minds had become blank.
After a moment, these people suddenly reacted. I don't know who took a deep breath first, as if a drowning person barely surfaced, almost greedily sucking in the air.
Immediately, countless people around him began to pump air. These people almost all looked the same, breathing in air with expressions of horror and disbelief on their faces.
No matter it is those prestigious super families or the Ye family and Xiao family, the strongest pillars of the empire, they all look the same at this time, their faces are gray and defeated, and there is no longer any sense of pride in their eyes. In the end, their eyes are all
Focused on Xiao Yue.
Ye Tao was originally very shocked by his mother's words, but before that, his mother had secretly sent a message to him. Although he didn't reveal the mystery immediately, it was more or less a reminder to him, and he vaguely knew that things would still happen.
There are some major turning points.
It can be said that except Xiao Yue who has always remained calm, Ye Tao is the only one who calmed down the fastest. He not only recovered from the shock the fastest, but also immediately fell into deep thought again.
If his mother hadn't specifically conveyed such words to him, he might just feel secretly happy now, and at the same time secretly look at these people, with their painful faces for not listening to his persuasion and reaping the consequences.
However, now Ye Tao, because of his mother's words, has placed himself in a higher position, at least looking at the whole thing from the perspective of a future country leader. When he thought about this matter again
, he regarded his mother only as a decision-maker, thus putting aside the relationship between mother and son.
For Ye Tao, this was the first time he had thought in this way. Even he was surprised that he could put himself in such an angle, but now he only had a fleeting emotion like surprise. More
On the contrary, it is a state of coldness and silence.
The whole thing passed through his mind like running water, and he didn't miss every detail. If it were before, he might have felt overwhelmed because of the complexity of the matter and the involvement of too many forces.
Wanxu couldn't figure it out.
But now, he immediately divided the two sides into two camps, one was the mother, and the other was the family forces.
The decision to launch the "Heavenly River Hanging Upside Down" formation was most likely made by the father, and the mother only implemented the father's decision. However, it is the same execution of the decision, but different people will get different results, and the mother's reaction can be
It can be seen that the result in front of her, including the current reactions of each family, is exactly what she wants.
Of course she knew that limiting the number of people taken away from each family to four hundred was the least costly and most reasonable number.
The people who need to be transferred at this time are basically the old, young, women and children in the family, and most of the remaining warriors have to ensure that these people can evacuate smoothly.
But in this case, the more people who leave, the easier it will be for the family to rebuild in the future, and it can even ensure that the loss of the family's foundation is minimized.
As for paying two warriors at the Concentration Stage and three at the peak of the Breathing Stage in order for the members of the family to be transferred, every family can afford this price.
The news only revealed this, and each family will naturally consider taking away more people as long as conditions permit. At this time, some people who are not too important will naturally be transferred just because they are close to the family leader.
Qualifications.
In addition, there are some warriors who are close friends of the family leader. They will sacrifice as little as possible, but will retreat with them, leaving those tribesmen who are not too close to be responsible for staying outside to resist the Qianhuan Sect. Their
You know the ending without even thinking about it.
When these families ignored Xiao Yue's request and brought people here on their own, they believed that with the status of their respective families, even if Xiao Yue knew that they were disobeying orders and was extremely dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do to them.
These are Xiao Yue's early arrangements. She hid some important information, but passed it on according to the orders of the king and his wife. If these families comply, then there will be no embarrassing situation at this time.
.
But they didn't listen, and this was what Xiao Yue had expected. At this time, she said the last qualification.
'You are right in your judgment. I know you are disobeying orders, but I can't do anything to you. But I will not punish you. The rules themselves will punish you, and the fact that you disobey orders will become your own
The bitter wine "brewed" will eventually be tasted by you yourself.'
This is the result Xiao Yue wants to get, and it is the goal she wants to achieve when she executes the order of the Lord Ye Shan.
After thinking about this, Ye Tao immediately thought of a new question, why did his mother do this. Although his mother was not stupid, she was definitely not so scheming and wealthy, so this idea most likely came from his father, Ye Shan.
Knowing his father better than his son, Ye Tao knew that his father was not a weak character, indecisive and unable to take charge of his own affairs, but that he was unwilling to use his scheming and calculations to deal with the people around him. Especially since these were his own arms, and they were all
The backbone of the empire.
However, Ye Shan's scheming and the city's government allowed him to imagine how to respond when encountering such a crisis before the empire underwent great changes. Xiao Yue should have listened to Ye Shan's idea at that time, and now he is just carrying out Ye Shan's original plan.
Just an idea.
Whether it is the Ye family, Xiao family, Zeng family, Liu family, etc., the problems faced by these families are the same. If you want to take away more people, you can only sacrifice more power in your hands.
And taking away an extra hundred people would require nearly twice as much effort.
The extra people he brings out are the branches of the family that are closer to him, and the extra strong people he brings out are also the people who support him the most.
But what is in front of him now is that he must make sacrifices. If he wants to take away these clans that are close to him, he must sacrifice a group of strong people who support him. If he wants to keep these strong people,
Then a large number of the clans close to him must be left behind.
These are the results Xiao Yue wanted, but she completely kept herself out of the matter, because I had issued the order with "good intentions" at the beginning, but you guys insisted on going your own way, so naturally you can't blame me now.
Faced with such a dilemma, the leaders of each family even had the illusion that they were torn in half. He didn't want to give up on either side, but now time was very tight and they had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Ye Tao has roughly understood the beginning, process and results. But what he has not figured out yet is the purpose of his father's entire plan. His mother's firm support clearly shows that he clearly understands his father's purpose.
The heads of several families, with tangled and painful expressions on their faces, first glanced around the team. When the people in the team found the clan leaders, elders and stewards, they would subconsciously avoid them, and they prayed silently.
, praying that he could survive.
The more silent the atmosphere, the more painful the people in charge felt, and the less they knew how to choose. After that, these people in charge began to gradually observe each other. They didn't know how to choose, so they subconsciously
Want to see how other families choose.
At this moment, among the Ye family's team, Ye Lei, the son of the great elder, suddenly stood up.
In fact, there are many people who are senior to him in the Ye family, and there are even people who are senior to his grandfather. However, because of his father, Ye Lei has a special reputation in the Ye family.
"Many of my uncles and even my grandfathers were present. Originally, I was not qualified to speak. But now a catastrophe is just around the corner. Not only is my Ye family suffering from catastrophe, but now the empire is suffering as well.
We just escaped here temporarily, but we don’t have much time to breathe. Only by making a decision as soon as possible can we hope to escape from danger. Mrs. Xiao Yue has already issued a strict order, asking each family to take 400 people to leave, but we have no confidence in Mrs.
The order fell on deaf ears, which is why we are in the embarrassing situation today. Now that the situation is before our eyes, I dare to express my own thoughts.
Since there is an opportunity to take away more people, I hope that the family can take away more people. However, it is not easy to cultivate every strong person. We cannot take away all the strong people in the family just to take away all the people in the family.
All are lost. Especially those who are at the peak of cultivation and concentration stage, they are basically the hope of the family."
These words were very appropriate. He not only took care of the elders around him, but also expressed some of his own opinions. Moreover, he told it from a completely objective standpoint, which made it easier for the family members to accept it.
"Then I will try to come up with a rule for those left behind by the Ye family. Those who have not reached the tempering stage at the age of fifteen, those who have not entered the Qi-sensing stage at the age of twenty-five, and those who have not entered the Qi-nurturing stage at the age of fifty
."
At this point, Ye Lei paused, and when no one said anything, he continued: "Those who have stayed at the peak of the cultivation period for more than ten years, and those who have stayed at the early stage of concentration for thirty years... stay!"
Ye Lei named two groups of people in total, one was the low-level people in the family, and the other was the strong ones in the cultivation and concentration stages whose strength could hardly be improved.
Of course, the first part are the people who were left behind, and the latter part are the strong ones who want to sacrifice themselves to send away the others.
When Ye Lei spoke, Xiao Yue's eyes immediately changed. Ye Tao observed quietly and couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
‘So that’s it, my father not only wants to clean up these super aristocratic families, but also has the purpose of selecting new leaders for these families!’ Ye Tao couldn’t help but think to himself.
