Chapter 165: The Ye Family's Anger
The sudden arrival of the Storm Legion plunged Shattered Leaf City into unprecedented chaos, and a strong overlord like the Ye family was also caught off guard.
When the servants were in a panic, a low and powerful war drum suddenly sounded in the Ye family's compound, and after a short time, the sound of the Zhenyuan drum sounded again. However, this time it was no longer Ye Rou's weak woman who beat the war drums, Ye Tiangao was ordered by his father to personally beat the war drums to gather the clansmen and urgently gather all the soldiers of the Ye family. Hearing the sound of drums, people hurriedly walked towards Zhenyuan Palace, Liu Ruyan was no exception, and led the ghost servants to walk in a curling manner, followed by Hong Yuan and Zhao Xuemin.
This time, there were more clansmen gathered, so many that Zhenyuan Hall couldn't squeeze in, and Ye Chonggong simply let people display them in the square outside. When Hong Yuan and his entourage arrived, the square was already crowded with people, and the high-level members of the Ye family all had black faces, everyone was silent and silent, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
The drums sounded like thunder, Ye Tian's upper body was bare, and his well-developed muscles were raised high, as if he was beating the war drums tirelessly, faster and faster, the sound became louder and louder, and he kept beating the drums, wanting to urgently summon all the Ye family members. After a long time, Ye Chonggong climbed high and shouted to stop, Ye Tiangao stopped, snowflakes were flying in the air, but he was sweating like rain.
Ye Chonggong didn't speak, but slowly scanned the crowd with a calm face, as if he was looking for someone, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
For a long time, when many people were about to be unable to bear the invisible pressure and were sweating profusely, Ye Chonggong finally broke the silence, "Everyone, do you know why you suddenly summoned everyone?"
No one answered, only Ye Chonggong's voice echoed over the square.
"I don't need to say it, everyone may already know that our Broken Leaf City has been surrounded by people, and we are approached by human soldiers! The Storm Legion of Drifting Snow City is very powerful, and has made great achievements for the Alliance, but suddenly acting like this privately and overwhelming the territory of the army, this is a contempt for our Broken Leaf City, and it is also a humiliation for our Ye family!"
Ye Chonggong's face was angry, and his voice became louder and louder, "Just like this, the Storm Legion is not enough, and Zhao Beigong, the lord of Drifting Snow City, sent someone to send us a letter." Ye Hu, you read it, read it aloud to the clansmen!"
Ye Chonggong shouted, a burly and tall guard stood up tremblingly, holding a letter in his hand, looking at the angry head of the family, Ye Chonggong, and then at the master standing under the high platform, and read it out loud.
Remembering the ancestor of the Ye family, Wen became martial arts, and pacified the Quartet;
Think about the Ye family's iron army, the torrent of steel;
A generation of overlords, how to be romantic;
The storm is still there, and the iron army is beating and the wind is blowing;
Under the city of broken leaves, it is empty and lonely.
......
Only halfway through the reading, Ye Hu couldn't read anymore, and the disciples of the Ye family made a loud noise. Zhao Beigong's handwritten letter is good, but it is full of provocation and disdain for the Ye family.
Once upon a time, the Ye family also had a powerful legion, the Ye family masters were wearing heavy armor and holding long knives, only a pair of cold eyes were exposed all over their bodies, and they were as unstoppable as a torrent of steel, known as the Ye family's iron army, and the Storm Legion in Drifting Snow City was on par with, or even better. At that time, it was the most glorious time for the Ye family, and it was at the top of the alliance together with the three giants of the alliance and the Zhao family of Drifting Snow City, known as the five giants of the alliance. But later, the two families declined together, and only the three giants were left in control of the alliance.
However, although they have declined together, the Storm Legion of the Zhao family in Drifting Snow City is still there, and has been fighting in the south and the north, but the Ye family is completely in decline and can no longer organize a strong army. The incomparably brilliant Ye family's iron army in the past has only bitter memories left, which is a permanent pain in the heart of the Ye family, and it is also a taboo in Broken Leaf City that no one dares to mention. Now, Zhao Beigong, the lord of Drifting Snow City, not only came to the city, but also said it in a handwritten letter to Ye Chonggong, unabashedly humiliating the Ye family who fought with the Zhao family in the past.
"Kill! Master, rush out and fight them!"
"Father, give the order, as long as you have a breath left, you will fight with them! Although my Ye family is in decline, I can't tolerate their Zhao family being so humiliated!"
......
The crowd was surging, and the disciples of the Ye family asked for battle one after another, some were too timid to speak, and some silently shed tears to sort out their son's battle armor, encouraging the children to go into battle and recreate the glory of their ancestors. Soon, a large group of young and vigorous Ye family disciples gathered in the square, all wearing helmets and armor, and lined up neatly under the leadership of Ye Tiangao to wait for Ye Chonggong's order.
The more ancient and glorious the family, the more there is no shortage of warriors who can spill their blood, and the Ye family is no exception.
However, Ye Tiangao's feat fell in Hong Yuan's eyes, but it was sad. The decline of the Ye family was not a year or two, but lasted for decades, and if it could compete with the Zhao family's storm army, the Ye family's iron army would have been reorganized long ago. It is absolutely wishful thinking to contend with the Storm Legion outside the city in a hurry to gather now.
Zhao Xuemin also understood that Ye Tiangao's struggle was futile, so he became more and more cautious, and took out a big hat and put it on his head, so as not to be recognized.
"Zhao Xue, it's okay, wait here for a while, and when it gets dark at night, I'll find a way to take you out of the city." Hong Yuan comforted Zhao Xuemin.
"Hmm. ”
Zhao Xuemin nodded, didn't say anything, under the wide hat, his face was cloudy, and he hesitated to leave Hong Yuan immediately. With her understanding of her father Zhao Beigong, Hong Yuan was obviously too optimistic, but she was afraid that she would not be able to wait for dark.
On the high platform, Ye Chonggong had a gloomy face, ignoring the young disciples' invitations to fight, and after glancing around, his eyes fell on Hong Yuan and Zhao Xuemin, and after a few words of low command, a team of ironclad guards rushed up and surrounded Hong Yuan and Zhao Xuemin. The surrounding clansmen didn't know what was going on, so they quickly got out of the way and hid aside.
Hong Yuan's eyelids jumped and he secretly screamed badly, glanced at the murderous ironclad guard, and calmly watched the changes.
"Hong Yuan, it's you again! Do you know the crime?" Ye Chonggong snorted coldly, staring at Hong Yuan condescendingly.
"I don't know, please make it clear to the lord!" Hong Yuan replied, secretly encouraging the Yuan Shen to summon the army of war pets stationed outside the city.
Originally, he was also going to take shelter for a while, and took Zhao Xuemin out of the city as soon as it got dark. Now it seems that not to mention going out of the city, whether or not you can get out of the Ye family's compound is a problem.
"I don't know?"
Ye Chonggong was so angry that he smoked, slashed the handwritten letter in Ye Hu's hand, threw it hard, and a thin piece of paper roared towards Hong Yuan like a knife, and said fiercely: "If you didn't bring the witch Zhao Xuemin to the Ye family's compound, how could Zhao Beigong attack our Ye family? See for yourself, what Zhao Beigong said! Either hand over the witch and your kid, or he will personally lead the army to kill it, hmph!"
Ye Chonggong's voice was fierce, and he looked murderous, all of which were Hong Yuan's fault. However, he also understood in his heart that Zhao Beigong was just using the topic to play.
The grievances between the Ye family and the Zhao family have been going on for a long time, the Ye family is okay, the past is all over, and no one mentions it anymore; Zhao Beigong is even more typical, he has been planning revenge, this time he suddenly led the Storm Legion soldiers to the city, on the one hand, to arrest Zhao Xuemin, who had escaped from marriage, and on the other hand, to hit the Ye family by surprise, and even uproot the Ye family! Even if there is no matter of Hong Yuan, he can always find an excuse to attack the Ye family!
A thin letter brought a piercing sound of breaking the air.
The murderous ironclad guards changed color in unison, and they all dodged sideways, and the sword technique of the head of the family, Ye Chonggong, was rumored to be superb, and anything that came into his hands was a deadly killing weapon.
An eagle claw suddenly appeared in Hong Yuan's hand, and at the critical moment, he sacrificed the Bone Splitting Dragon Claw that he had snatched from the dragon blood warrior's hand, stuck it in his left hand and pinched it lightly, grabbing the amazing stationery. Seeing that his technique was so light and clever, many people were secretly amazed, but Ye Chonggong's face became even colder, and he said nothing with a gloomy face.
Zhao Xuemin came up and read the handwritten letter sent by his father Zhao Beigong with Hong Yuan. On the letter, Zhao Beigong made no secret of his bullying and coercion of the Ye family, threatening that the Ye family would either hand over Zhao Xuemin and Hong Yuan, or die!
Hong Yuan was okay, he took a deep breath and folded the letter and returned it to Ye Chonggong, but Zhao Xuemin's face turned pale all of a sudden, knowing that he had dragged Hong Yuan down, and the most worrying thing still happened.
There was silence in the square of Zhenyuandian, and people silenced their mouths one after another, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing. Ye Tiangao suddenly stood up, picked up the handwritten letter thrown by Hong Yuan, and looked at it with a look on his face.
The Storm Legion's combat effectiveness is amazing, and if they really want to go to war, the Ye family will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and they will even be wiped out;
But in the face of Zhao Beigong's coercion and handing over Hong Yuan in public, the disciples of the Ye family will no longer be able to raise their heads in front of many big families in the future, and their backbones will be broken!
"Father, we must not hand over Hong Yuan and go to war with the Zhao family directly!"
Ye Tiangao gritted his teeth and proposed, without even thinking about it, he knew what would happen to Hong Yuan in the hands of Zhao Beigong. Whether it is for the sake of the whole family or for the promise made to Ye Rou at the beginning, he is unwilling to give in.
"Shut up, don't be silent without my orders!"
Ye Chonggong snorted, turned his head and commanded in a deep voice, "Ye Hu, immediately go and contact the Liu family and the Zeng family and other families to find out their tone." Ye Mancang, you lead a team of men and horses to the city gate to reinforce the city guards guarding the city, and find a way to delay the Zhao family's attack and block the city gate!"
"Yes!"
Ye Hu and Ye Mancang, two cronies, bowed down to receive the order and acted separately. Under the leadership of Ye Mancang, a team of ironclad guards rode away, accompanied by the most elite warriors of the Ye family.
The atmosphere became more and more tense, no one said anything, and the hearts were more and more panicked.
Liu Ruyan's face did not change, standing quietly in the crowd, and he was not in a hurry when he saw Hong Yuan surrounded by a team of ironclad guards. The ghost servant standing behind her, with a grimace mask on his face, did not say anything, as if he was deaf and dumb and could not hear what people were saying.
