Chapter 42: A Painful Blow
Because the participants of this clan meeting were all important figures of the Qingniu clan, Niu Hong did not attend, but he also vaguely felt that this meeting was anything but ordinary.
After all, there are very few gatherings like this in normal times, and although he has been away from the main clan for many years, he can also feel that this gathering is not simple.
He waited for it all night, and had a strong premonition: this party must be closely related to his father, after all, this time his father was in the limelight and became the object of controversy among many people, and this time Niu Yibiao emphasized that he would "celebrate" and "catch the wind" for his father, and he was looking forward to what might happen.
But the look on his father's face when he came back was simply frightened to him, he was like he had been drained of his soul, and his father, who had always been upright and majestic, became very decadent.
He didn't even see himself who greeted him, and he could feel his father's extreme dismay, the first time he had seen it in many years.
For him, his father has always been a confident image of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, even if the western tribes that were exiled to the desert back then were full of fighting spirit and wanted to compete with the heavenly princess.
But now he can feel his father's depression, as if he had lost a battle, and suddenly his father seems to be much older, as if he has lost his fighting spirit in life.
Niu Hong was extremely puzzled, what happened so that it would be such a big blow to his father, but he didn't know how to ask his father.
He followed behind his father, did not make a sound, but quietly, slowly followed his father, in his heart, even if his father was defeated, he would accompany him to make a comeback.
Think that when I was young, I was demoted to the western tribe with my father, everything started from scratch, and even faced a life and death crisis many times, but I still didn't carry it the same?
No matter how big the blow is now, it can compare to the danger he faced before, and Niu Hong also believes that his father will cheer up again and will take him to fight bloody battles again.
The father walked in front dejectedly, and his strong and upright son followed, and the two slowly wandered around the house, relatively speechless.
Niu Hong didn't dare to break this tranquility, he quietly accompanied his father on the side, he guessed what should have happened, but he didn't dare to ask.
Niu Baokun has a strong frustration, a sense of failure, he has been carefully planning for decades, and his biggest weight was deceived by a small plan by Niu Baobiao.
He has always wanted to cultivate the western tribe as his most reliable backing, as his foundation, even if his own generation is not successful, he believes that his son Niu Hong will do a good job, and he is willing to lay a good foundation for him.
The integration, recovery, and stabilization of the western tribes is a slow and arduous process, and after years of hard work, it has only completed a prototype, and the structure has not yet been completed.
But the sudden change interrupted all this, and it also directly changed the western tribe that he had painstakingly managed for many years, which was an unprecedented blow to him.
He has always had high hopes for the southern tribes themselves, hoping to make a comeback with them, which is also his most important reliance.
Even if he was demoted to the west back then, he was never discouraged, and he has made great achievements by relying on his own painstaking management, becoming bigger and stronger step by step, and also has his own proud achievements.
But now all this is a thing of the past, as long as Niu Tiezhu carries a token, he can master the clan soldiers of the entire tribe, even if there are disobedient ones, everything is not a problem with the clan soldiers in hand.
Niu Yibiao deprived himself of his power in a bloodless way, and it was his momentary anger that made him dizzy.
Such a simple scam, he himself was deceived, he felt that he had failed like never before, he was stupid like never before.
After a long time, Niu Hong saw his father set his eyes on him, he could see the frustration in his father's eyes, he stepped forward to support his father, and the two fathers and sons relied on each other.
Finally, Niu Hong heard his father's trembling voice: "Hong'er, my father has been defeated." He could feel his father's frustration as he said this.
Niu Hong looked at his father and said, "Father will not fail, we will really achieve the final success, what happened." ”
Niu Baokun was silent for a long time, and said: "Today, Niu Baobiao invited me to the meeting, but he actually deceived me into handing over the power of the clan. ”
He was silent for a long time, and Niu Hong didn't continue to ask, he waited for his father to continue.
Niu Baokun continued: "He first used the leader of the main clan to stimulate my emotions and constantly provoke me, and then directly exchanged the title of deputy patriarch for the token of the clan, and now I have become the commander of the light pole." ”
When Niu Baokun said this, he almost gritted his teeth, and of course Niu Hong could understand his father's emotions.
I think that when I was young, I had accompanied my father to the western tribe, which was particularly barren and desolate compared to the prosperity of the main clan.
The tribes in various places do not accept the leadership, and the conquest and crusade between the various tribes are even more chaotic, although Niu Baokun is the tribal leader sent by the main clan, but no one takes him seriously, and even treats him extremely contemptuous.
Later, after continuous conquest and surrender, it took many years to train the clan soldiers of the same tribe and establish new rules and regulations, and everything slowly became regular.
No matter whether the tribe was strong or weak, my father never bowed his head to the Lord, and he always went his own way, and never paid attention to the Lord clan.
Over the years, the western tribe has become stronger and stronger, and its strength is not what it used to be, and what was originally the most unstable area of the Qingniu tribe has now become impregnable.
Originally, because of the border with the White Elephant Clan, there were often riots and civil strife, and even small-scale wars, which were basically ignored by the two clans, after all, they could not destroy the overall situation because of these small things.
Later, after years of governance by Niu Baokun, now five people dare to violate, even if there is a conflict, you will have no return.
This is his father's hard work for many years, and this Niu Hong knows best, but now he has been deprived so easily, how does he accept it.
Even he was heartbroken, the efforts of the two fathers and sons over the years were in vain, and it was extremely heartbroken to hear his father say that Niu Hong himself.
But it is conceivable that the person who was originally the most disgusted and hated by his father has now come out against him again, and even he will be angry that he can't stop, which is also in the hands of the enemy, so it has become such a situation, everything is the shamelessness and calculation of the opponent.
Niu Hong hurriedly said: "Then can't we secretly invite the token over halfway?"
Niu Baokun shook his head and said: "There are many people who know now, this is too obvious, and Niu Baobiao must have planned it and will not give us a chance." ”
"What if the people don't obey the order?"
"He can mobilize his clan soldiers with a token, and if some of his tribesmen are unwilling to receive orders, he has a heavy army, and who can stop him. Besides, it was Niu Tiezhu who went this time, with his strength, of course, he would handle this matter very beautifully, and there would be no problems. ”
These Niu Baokun have thought about the possibilities, but they all don't work, because since Niu Baobiao has made a plan, of course he will do it without leakage, and he will not give him a chance, he has felt it deeply over the years, and he knows this old opponent best.
Both of them fell silent, after all, the blow of this matter was too great, and for a while the two fathers and sons could not accept this change.
Finally, Niu Hong stood in front of his father, he was tall, and his eyes were full of arrogance: "Father, I think that when our father and son were relegated to the west, and we were looked down upon by everyone without a name or share, we have not achieved a reversal.
Now you are the second master of the demon clan, and you are the honorable deputy patriarch of the Qingniu clan, such an honor, isn't it easier to do everything than at that time, we can't give up, we have to cheer up, we can't be sad, that will only make our opponents laugh. ”
Niu Baokun looked at his confident son, and for a while he was in tears, unable to say anything.
Niu Hong continued: "As long as we are alive, we will be able to make a comeback, and we will be able to accumulate strength again until we defeat our opponents.
Father, as long as we don't give up, we will be able to win again, and the one who has the last laugh is the winner, and we must have confidence in ourselves. ”
Niu Baokun's face was full of tears, his son's words made him excited, and he said happily: "I, Niu Baokun, will not be defeated, I will stand up again and again until the enemy is defeated."
Worthy of my son, ambitious, ambitious, we will succeed. ”
The two fathers and sons clasped their hands again, their eyes were full of confidence, full of infinite fighting spirit for the future, failure is only temporary, he is just a stepping stone on the road to success.
The next day, on the square of the Qingniu clan, the clansmen all gathered here, forming two teams, leaving a wide road in between.
Today is Niu Tiezhu's send-off gift as the leader of the western tribe, and many people actually understand that because of the rule of Niu Baokun and his son over the western tribe, the western tribe has always been separated from the main clan, and there is a crisis in the rule of the main clan. And this time he will finally bid farewell to Niu Baokun's father and son's rule over the western tribes.
This will be a major event for the Qingniu clan, and it will also make the Qingniu clan more harmonious and stable, and strengthen the strength of the Qingniu clan.
In addition to the officials, there were also many people of the tribe, although they were not officials, but everyone was extremely happy about this incident.
Niu Yibiao stood in front, holding the token in both hands, handed it to Niu Tiezhu, and said with a solemn face: "The western tribe is very important, and I will hand over this power to you today." ”
Niu Tiezhu knelt in front of Niu Yibiao and said solemnly: "Patriarch, rest assured, I will definitely live up to my mission, bow to the essence of my Qingniu clan's affairs, and die."
After that, he boarded the car in front of everyone's attention, the convoy was already ready, and he set off for duty immediately after the ceremony was completed.
Suddenly, a voice came to mind in the distance: "The clan is old and slow, I still have something to tell you." ”
For a moment, everyone moved their eyes over, who was so loud and loud at this critical moment.
I saw Niu Baokun and his son running quickly in the distance, their faces full of anxiety, shouting as they walked: "Slow and slow!"
For a while, everyone on the field was full of doubts, and Niu Yibiao's eyes were even more solemn. What are these father and son going to do?
