The Jade Tribe in Prayer Mountain is different from the Mu Tribe, which is rich in spiritual trees, and the Weishui Tribe, which is rich in copper mines. They only have a small amount of jade minerals and jade carving craftsmen with exquisite skills.
The high-quality jade and the skills of the craftsmen alone are enough to make the Jade tribe one of the six major tribes in the north of Chongguo, because the precious jade carvings they produce every year are in short supply for the nobles of the three ancient countries.
nice one.
The jade articles of the Jade Clan have brought a lot of profits to the clan members, and have made the Chong King family value them very much. However, it has also allowed some people to continue to grow greedy. Some elders have been lobbying the current clan leader Nan Guan to let him expand the number of people he has prayed for.
Excavating jade mines near the mountains, so that more jade can be obtained in exchange for greater profits.
However, Nanguan categorically rejected this suggestion because the ancestors of the Jade tribe had a teaching not to mine too much jade ore. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to the life in the mountains, and it would also cause serious consequences such as the mines drying up and jade no longer being produced.
Although Nan Guan has good intentions considering the overall situation, some people just don't appreciate it. The elder of the Jade Tribe, Heng Su, is the one who is most enthusiastic about exploring new mines. This guy has five sons, all of whom are strong in the Crimson Realm.
With their tyrannical strength, they dominate the clan and hardly take Nanguan as the clan leader in their eyes.
But Nanguan is not a soft persimmon, and of course he will not allow the other party to act too wantonly. The two sides are incompatible with each other.
The great changes within the clan directly led to the long-term disagreement between Nanguan and Hengsu. Finally, Elder Hengsu gave up his words and said that he would lead some clan members to leave the Prayer Mountain and start a new one.
Nan Guan was so angry about this incident that in the end, in order to prevent his clan from being divided, he had to agree to the other party's rude request and handed over the power of mining new jade mines to Hengsu.
But even so, it only slightly curbed Hengsu's ambition to dominate the Jade Clan. Recently, this guy has started to stir up trouble and stir up trouble.
First, Hengsu's eldest son used a trivial matter as an excuse to hurt another elder and refused to apologize. The Nanguan clan chief dealt with it impartially and sent people to take down Hengsu's eldest son, giving him a full three hundred whips.
, as a punishment.
Beating a dog depends on the owner, not to mention that he is Hengsu's most beloved eldest son. The powerful elder suddenly felt that he had been slapped loudly by Nan Guan. He immediately went to the door to find Nan Guan and made a big fuss.
Almost made a move.
However, Hengsu was acting recklessly this time and did not make any sense. Therefore, he was ridiculed by many tribesmen and elders present and left in embarrassment. This incident happened not long before Mrs. Nan returned to her parents' home with her child.
At this point, Mrs. Nan sighed: "Alas, Elder Heng is a narrow-minded man who will retaliate. My husband was worried that he would take his anger out on his family members, so he asked me to go back to my parents' house for two days."
Hearing this, Guan Heng frowned slightly and asked, "But why did you suddenly rush back to pray across the mountain?"
"It's like this. Last night, I was staying well at my parents' house. Suddenly a clan member came to inform me that my husband accidentally cut his hand while carving jade carvings. Although the injury was not serious, he needed someone to take care of him.
Therefore, I came back in a hurry."
"Where is the clansman who informed you to go back?"
"Well..."
Mrs. Nan gently patted her infant son, then recalled it carefully, and then said hesitantly: "When I met those evil thieves, the tribesmen who reported the news were clearly walking on the side of the carriage, but as soon as the crowd became confused, I
We found that he was gone and there was no body on the ground."
Hearing what the other party said, even Tianlin, Agou and Ruotao felt a little strange: "Is there such a thing?"
"Mrs. Nan, if my prediction is correct, the person who informed you of the clan leader's injury must have something to do with Hengsu. All of this should be a trap designed to trap you and your children."
As soon as Guan Heng's words came out, the woman broke out in a cold sweat. She hesitated and said: "Guan, Mr. Guan, are you sure about this matter?"
"Well, that tribesman was responsible for luring you out. When he met a strong thief on the way, he immediately retreated and disappeared."
"If all this can be successful, Hengsu can completely avoid suspicion and stay out of the matter, which is perfect. It's a pity that you escaped and met us."
Guan Heng said: "I think if those bandits want to make a rescue, they should send people to ambush along the way. As long as you show up alive, you will definitely become their target."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly heard the rapid and noisy sound of horse hooves in front of them. Guan Heng's lips curled up with a sneer: "Look, they said everyone is here and ghosts are screaming, these guys are here."
"Drive, drive!" A team of more than ten cavalrymen came flying in the dust in an instant. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Guan Heng and the others. One of them immediately shouted: "Look, it's Nan Guan's wife!"
"Haha, this bitch is not dead after all. Catch her quickly. A living person is more useful!"
"Swish, swish, swish!" This group of wild and rough bandits rushed over with their weapons drawn. The few people in front also shouted: "Except Mrs. Nan and the children, kill everyone else-"
"Looking for death!" Tian Lin's dark red horse was the closest to those people. She suddenly showed off her double daggers and rushed towards them. There was only a quick "chachacha" sound, and the weapons in the hands of the thieves broke one after another and fell to the ground.
While this group of guys looked stunned and at a loss, Guan Heng and Ruotao had already jumped over at the same time.
"Pfft!" The hand holding the spear shaft for a bandit was suddenly cut off by the thunder-swallowing blade. The guy roared in pain and was immediately kicked by Guan Hengfei: "Get down."
"Plop." The moment this man fell off his mount, all the minions next to him were thrown to the ground by Ruotao, Tianlin, Swallowing Ghost Tiger, and Shanlu, and were either dead or injured.
"Oops, let's go quickly -" Seeing that the situation was not good, two guys immediately turned their horses and fled away. But at this moment, the elephant snake bird that had been gathering momentum for a long time made a strange croak, spread its wings and waved its feathers.
Soar out.
"Tsk!" The sharp bird's beak pierced the vest of one of them, and like a snake bird, it twisted and flew again, and in an instant it moved like lightning. "Crack!" Both claws passed by the other party's door, immediately scratching his face.
"Pa!" Guan Heng stepped on the bandit's back and shouted coldly: "Tell me, who are you? Why did you attack Mrs. Nan?"
"Bah, don't expect to know anything from me..."
"Still want to do this trick? It's useless." Just when the other party was about to repeat the same trick and bite his tongue to commit suicide, Guan Heng, who had quick hands and quick eyes, swung his fist and landed on his cheek: "Bang!"
Several teeth spurted out from his mouth. The bandit leader was in agony. Guan Heng sneered: "You want to kill us when you come up. You are not very capable but very courageous. Let me teach you how to lead the bandit."
