Chapter 20: The Crisis of the Green Cattle Clan
It has been five days since she came to the Qingniu Clan, and Niu Jingchun and Li Chen have traveled to almost every place in the Qingniu Clan, and the entire Qingniu Clan is preparing for the clan meeting, a lively scene.
But Li Chen could vaguely feel that in fact, Niu Yibiao's father and son were vaguely uneasy, as if they were worried about something, but it was inconvenient for him to ask.
Since Niu Mu proposed to worship his brother, his contact with the family has also increased, but Li Chen's observation of his uncle Niu Yibiao found that Niu Yibiao always frowned behind his back.
But with his understanding of his uncle, he felt that he shouldn't be a careful person, could it be because of his illness?
But after the master gave him the pill, his condition had been greatly alleviated, and Li Chen vaguely felt that this clan might have a hidden crisis, but he didn't know where the crisis was.
In the past few days, he felt that the people of the Qingniu clan were very kind and simple, although he was a foreigner. But as soon as the people heard that he was a disciple of the Lingyuan Immortal, they all respected him very much.
Most of the people of the Qingniu clan have low cultivation, but there are also many strong ones, Li Chen feels that with their simple personality, it will not make the patriarch Niu Yibiao worry, but the more puzzled he is, the more he wants to know what is going on.
Because he left home as soon as he was born, Li Chen regarded his master as his relative. He is not only a teacher for him, but also an elder who protects him.
And now the kindness of the people of the Niu clan to him, the meticulous care for him, and the simple and generous patriarch and people like Niu Yibiao, make him sincerely like here.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, their affinity and kindness made Li Chen feel very warm, these days Niu Jingchun took care of him like a big sister, and Niu Mu also sheltered him like a brother.
made him even more sublimated his feelings for them, which also filled the lack of his family affection, and he regarded the Niu father and son as his relatives.
On this day, Niu Jingchun took him to the square of the Qingniu clan again, which was the wide square that Li Chen saw when he first came. Niu Jingchun introduced to her: "The high platform being built there is the seat of my father and the elders of the clan.
Below are the seats of the envoys of the other three demon clans, and then the seats of the leaders of the various small clans, and the dignity and inferiority levels are arranged at one time. The main clan of my Qingniu clan is our branch in the clan land, and there are several other branches. β
Niu Jingyun still wanted to introduce it further, but Li Chen couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart.
He interrupted Niu Jingyun's words and asked, "Is something big going to happen to the Qingniu Clan, I always feel that you are worried about something?"
Niu Jingyun was a little surprised by his sudden question, and asked incredulously, "Who did you listen to?"
Li Chen heard her say this, which confirmed his guess even more, so he asked her: "What is the matter, I find that you are always worried about something." No one told me that I was guessing, so tell me about it. β
Although Niu Jingyun was a little incredible, she also hesitated for a moment, and said, "Among the four major demon clans, my Qingniu clan is the strongest, because the other three demon clans only have one moon-level martial artist.
Ordinary moon-rank martial artists are all at the patriarch level, and there are two of us in the Qingniu clan. β
She looked at Li Chen and said, "One is my father, who is also the current patriarch of the Qingniu clan, and the other is my uncle, whose name is Niu Baokun."
My father's strength is comparable to him, but recently my father has broken through to the ninth rank of the moon rank, and he is currently at the peak of the seventh rank.
When I was running for patriarch, my uncle and my father were both the most competitive juniors, and their strength was basically equal at that time.
But because the patriarch always felt that my father was more calm and suitable for succession, he passed on the position of patriarch to my father, and the uncle had always felt unconvinced.
He had always been dissatisfied with my father's leadership, believing that he had obtained the position of patriarch by small means.
Later, my father would send him to other clans as a small leader in the future, and he had rejected all previous clan meetings on the grounds of physical discomfort, and my father also turned a blind eye to him.
It is precisely because of the two moon-level martial artists that I went to the Qingniu Clan and now become the head of the four demon clans, and my father is also the leader of the alliance of the four demon clans.
Because after all, for my Qingniu clan, if there is a big war, it will always be a huge loss for the inside.
After all, the two moon-level martial artists are a huge deterrent to other demon clans or the human race Han Kingdom, and if any of them fall in the civil war, the other demon clans will definitely take advantage of it.
If the Terrans invade again, the consequences are unimaginable. But my uncle has always coveted the position of patriarch, and the heart of the tiger and wolf is obvious, which also makes us all extremely worried.
This time, the uncle of the clan council has already announced that he will definitely come to help the fun, and we don't know what he has in mind, and we are all afraid that he will take advantage of this to start a civil strife.
Because there are other demon envoys coming above the clan meeting, all kinds of strengths are intertwined, and the situation is extremely complicated and difficult to handle. β
Niu Jingyun kept frowning when she said this, which made her beautiful little face wrinkled, which made Li Chen feel a little distressed, and he silently thought in his heart: The affairs of the Qingniu clan are also my business, and I must not sit idly by!
He comforted Niu Jingyun and said, "Sister, don't worry, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." Isn't there still a master here, so there won't be much trouble. β
Li Chen also felt so in his heart, because after all, the master and his uncle had a deep friendship, and he believed that the master would not sit idly by, but once the master made a move, they would not dare to make too many mistakes.
Niu Jingyun's face was full of sadness, and she said slowly: "Although Lingyuan Shangxian has a good personal relationship with his father, but this is my clan's internal affairs, and Lingyuan does not interfere in the political affairs of various clans.
And this involves the struggle for the position of the patriarch, if the immortal makes a move even more down, the affairs of the clan will be more difficult to solve, and the future troubles will be endless. β
Li Chen hurriedly comforted: "Isn't the master here, even if the master doesn't make a move, this is also a deterrent to your uncle and other demon clans." The master's strength is far superior to that of your father, the martial artist at the head of the four demon clans.
Even if they want to make any excessive moves, they must weigh it carefully, for this matter, I believe there will not be too much of a problem, and your father's strength is much higher than theirs. β
Niu Jingyun shook her head and said: "This is a matter within my clan, and I still have to solve it by myself, otherwise the problem will continue to ferment, and it will be even more difficult to clean up later." β
He looked at Li Chen, his eyes were slowly full of worry, which made Li Chen feel sympathy, but he couldn't say anything to comfort her.
Niu Jingyun said again: "Although he is my uncle, in fact, he is a branch of other clans, just the elder of my uncle's generation, and he is actually not too related by blood.
It was promised that it was a family a long time ago, but after dozens of generations of inheritance, this uncle is just a title, and there is no longer any family affection, and the relationship has been severed.
Therefore, in his eyes, we are not his relatives but a stumbling block on his way to becoming the patriarch, and he will definitely do whatever it takes to compete for the position of patriarch, even at the expense of foreign forces.
Over the years, the tribe he led was completely under his leadership, and he had never paid tribute to the clan land and did not accept the leadership of the main clan.
Even in recent years, he has annexed several smaller tribes around him to expand his power, and my father has only imposed certain restrictions on him, and has not sent troops to attack.
Because once the war starts, it will be irreparably huge losses. Although he has always disobeyed the leadership, he has always admitted that he is the royal family of the Qingniu clan and has not become independent, so he has always connived at him.
If the situation changes this year, it will have an impact, and even shake the foundation of the Qingniu clan, and the rivers and mountains that my father has been painstakingly managing over the years are also facing the risk of extinction.
Over the years, my father has been conscientiously doing all kinds of things, so that the Qingniu clan is thriving, it is a critical period of economic development, if there is any difference, it will be difficult to recover. β
The more Niu Jingyun spoke, the more depressed she became, she had strong worries about the future of her father and the Qingniu clan, he was afraid that the war would break out and the mountains and rivers would no longer be there. I am afraid that my father has worked hard for many years to run the Qingniu clan to disaster.
Li Chen stood in front of him, patted his chest, and said eloquently, "Sister Jingyun, didn't you say that I and the pastor brother are going to worship brothers, although we are sworn brothers, we are better than brothers."
We will surely share in blessings and hardships. I will work with you to protect the Qingniu clan and protect my uncle. There is strong wind and rain, and I am willing to bear it with you. β
Although Li Chen is young, he is by no means naΓ―ve, and his mind is even more familiar than most adults.
What he said just now was also his heartfelt words, he was willing to protect the simple people of the Qingniu Clan, and he was more willing to protect his brothers, sisters and uncles.
Niu Jingchun listened to Li Chen's words, and felt a little warm, it seems that her father and brother are not wrong. Although Li Chen is small, he is indeed a man who stands up to the sky.
In fact, she has always felt that Li Chen has a kind of calmness and concentration that does not belong to his age, although he is young, his cultivation is indeed very profound, giving people a feeling of being alone.
From the first time they met, she felt that this kid was not simple, and the longer they got along, the stronger her appreciation and affection for him became.
Niu Jingchun also got rid of the bad mood, after all, no matter how worried she was, she couldn't solve the problems she actually faced, so it was better to face them calmly and solve the problems she was facing with her heart.
She looked at Li Chen with a smile on her face again, and said, "Brother Chen, I will continue to take you around to see the Qingniu clan's clan land, there are many interesting places in the clan land. β
Li Chen nodded, secretly admiring Niu Jingyun in her heart, although she was full of worries about life, she still faced it in a calm and calm way.
What she conveys to others is always an optimistic and positive attitude, and Li Chen silently swore in his heart: he must protect this girl well, so that the hardships of life cannot hurt her.
