Chapter 187 Post-War Impact
At night, the entire Longzhou Mansion began to be shrouded in darkness, and most places were already pitch black. But there are a few places where the lights are bright and the figures are moving.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Wang family, the people were walking in a hurry, looking panicked.
In the reception hall of the Wang family, all the remaining high-level officials of the Wang family gathered together, and everyone's faces were worried and hurried.
Wang Zhentian, who was sitting at the top of the front, glanced at everyone, sighed lightly, and then slowly spoke: "Presumably everyone already knows the result of the battle between the City Lord's Mansion and the Lu family, right?"
As soon as Wang Zhentian's words fell, the high-ranking members of the Wang family on the left and right glanced at each other, but no one made a sound.
"Alas!"
After a while, Wang Zhentian sighed for a long time and then spoke: "The result of this battle is much worse than we expected, I can't imagine that the Lu family is still so strong, not even the strong man of the hidden world of the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Yes, none of us thought that their Lu family would be so powerful and actually defeat the City Lord's Mansion!" those high-ranking members of the Wang family also sighed in response.
"So everyone also knows that the situation is very unfavorable for us, right? We went to the Lu family with Elder He of the Heavenly Netherworld Sect today, and this is already a mortal enmity with the Lu family. This also means that our Wang family is now in the crisis of extermination, do you have any good solutions?" Wang Zhentian said calmly, no one could see what he was thinking in his heart.
"Patriarch, do I think we can send someone to show our submission to the Lu family, and then offer a huge amount of compensation in exchange for them to spare our Wang family?" said an elder who stood up and bowed to Wang Zhentian.
"Yes, patriarch, I just heard what the people below said, and now the entire Longzhou Mansion is guarded by the people of the Lu family. We will definitely not be able to escape, and we can only make peace with them for now. Another younger elder also stood up and said.
Hearing their words, Wang Zhentian raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression was a little worried.
"Yes, our Wang family made a wrong step this time! I am ashamed of the ancestors!" Wang Zhentian suddenly blamed himself with some sadness.
"Patriarch, it's not your fault, this time it's all because the Lu family is hiding too deeply, so we failed. The elder who had stood up earlier hurriedly comforted.
"Yes, patriarch, let's decide how to negotiate compensation and peace with the Lu family at the moment. Otherwise, our Wang family will really face the power of extermination this time!" another elder also spoke up.
"But I'm not reconciled! My son was killed alive by that hateful Lu family kid, and now he doesn't even have a corpse! How can you make me willing to compromise and seek perfection?" Wang Zhentian suddenly turned hideous and roared angrily.
"Patriarch, we all know the pain of your loss of a son! But if we don't take the initiative to sue for peace now, then we will lose the entire family! How will we face the ancestors of the Wang family when the time comes?" the elder shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and then gritted his teeth and asked.
"Huh?" Wang Zhentian raised his eyebrows slightly, and his sharp eyes looked at the elder who spoke.
However, the elder was not afraid at all at this time, and looked directly at Wang Zhentian with a determined expression.
"Alas!"
After a while, Wang Zhentian suddenly sighed and then spoke again: "Since both of you think that peace is required, do the others also think the same?"
"We agree with the two elders and ask the patriarch to agree!" At this moment, the others also said in unison.
Wang Zhentian glanced at everyone, and the whole person suddenly lost his former majesty, and instantly aged dozens of years.
"Well, since everyone agrees to pay compensation, I am not a pedantic person, of course I will consider it from the perspective of the family. I agree to your proposal for peace!" Wang Zhentian said helplessly.
"The patriarch is wise!"
Seeing that Wang Zhentian agreed to compensate and sue for peace, a flash of joy flashed in the eyes of those people. After all, people are selfish, and of course those who have been in high positions for a long time are not willing to be exterminated by the Lu family because of this matter.
"You can discuss for yourself how to settle the compensation, and I will not participate. You just need to give me the final result of the discussion!" Wang Zhentian said weakly, and then closed his eyes.
Soon, there were bursts of heated discussions among the high-level leaders of the Wang family on the left and right.
At this time, the same scene was also playing out at the Li family.
Today's battle between the Lu family and the City Lord's Mansion has completely made the Lu family the focus of discussion in the entire Longzhou Mansion! It has also made the Lu family truly the most powerful force in the Longzhou Mansion, and from then on the Lu family will become the real overlord of the entire Longzhou Mansion.
If they knew that the Lu family was going to replace the City Lord's Mansion and become the master of the entire Longzhou Mansion, these people would definitely be even more shocked.
Unlike other places, the Lu family at this time was quiet, and everyone was still in the grief of losing their loved ones.
Because of today's battle, the Lu family also suffered heavy losses! Many young lives died in this battle.
The Lu family's meeting hall was brightly lit at this time, and everyone was sad.
Lu Tianfeng, who was sitting in the first place, looked at everyone calmly, especially when his eyes fell on Lu Yan, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
This time, because of Lu Yan's meritorious service, he was especially allowed to participate in this kind of clan meeting that only people above the elder level could participate.
Although it was the first time to participate in such a clan meeting, Lu Yan was not timid at all, on the contrary, he was very calm.
This only makes everyone feel more appreciated. Their eyes as they looked at Lu Yan were full of appreciation.
"Okay, everyone's got their moods in their hands. We still have a lot of work to do, so I'm going to gather everyone over and talk about what we do next. Lu Tianfeng returned his gaze and said slowly.
This time, Lu Yan was arranged to sit next to the Great Elder, so the Great Elder looked at Lu Yan sideways, and then said softly: "You performed very well today, if you have any ideas or proposals, you can speak freely." ”
"Elder Xie cares, I won't disappoint you later. Lu Yan replied confidently.
"Well, that's good. The Great Elder nodded with a smile.
Although Lu Yan's words seemed to be very strong, no one would feel that there was anything wrong, because Lu Yan's performance today had made them put Lu Yan on the same level as them.
"You can put forward any ideas or suggestions. Lu Tianfeng said with a smile.
All the elders of the Lu family did not speak, but all looked at Lu Yan in unison, as if they wanted to wait for Lu Yan to speak.
"Hehe, why are you looking at me like this?" Being looked at like this, Lu Yan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and asked with a smile.
"Lu Yan, do you have anything you want to say? The second elder suddenly spoke up.
