Chapter 38: A Turning Point
"You ......" Long Yan's brows tightened, his face turned blue, "What kind of attitude do you have?" Long Yan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Long Tan beside him.
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. ”
Although Long Zhan, Long Yi, and Long Tan are sitting on the rostrum, they will naturally have their own judgments in their hearts, and it is estimated that the content is the same as those two.
Up to now, the five decision-makers of the Long family, no, are four, basically understand the Xiao family's intentions, the secret report that the family got before was not accurate, and it may also be because of other unknown events that changed the original intention, the Xiao family and the Bran family may not have thought of accumulating a blow at all to annex the Long family, their real intention is to use ants to gnaw on elephants, and the method of carving knives and scraping bones to consume the Long family bit by bit, especially when the "bloody night" After that, the generation of the mainstay of the Long clan was completely lost, and only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people remained.
The Xiao family and the Bran family first extended their evil hands to the glorious new generation of the Long family, and Long Shixin was unfortunate to be the first target and became the victim of the so-called "Xiao Long Marriage" with the nature of atonement.
"In that case, it is enough to find the attacker. Long Yan said.
Xiao Yuanyue looked at Long Yan with disdain, and thought, "Long Clan, it's really decaying, and such a stunned young man can also be an elder." "Although the Long clan has fallen to this, there are some words that cannot be said clearly, just muttering in your heart.
"That's very good. Although Xiao Yuanyue was strong and domineering, but the other party gave a way to deal with it, he couldn't ignore it, "But once you can't catch the attacker, or just find someone to replace you?"
"This, this ......" Long Yan choked for a while, but he just prevaricated with reasons in a hurry, he would think so much there, otherwise, he would not be slandered by Xiao Yuanyue.
Long Tan, Long Zhan snorted coldly at the same time, Long Zhan spoke first, "What should I say?" Xiao Yuanyue, put away your careful thoughts, Mingren does not whisper. ”
"Wise people don't whisper. Xiao Yuanyue pondered, stroked his palm, and then said with a smile: "There is some truth." ”
"In that case, let's talk!"
"Okay", Xiao Yuanyue's smile faded at this moment, and he said with a solemn expression: "The heirs of our clan hope to tie a hundred years with the noble Long Shixin, so that the grievances of the two clans will be written off, and the interests will be tied up, and they will advance and retreat together." ”
Long Zhan secretly scolded Xiao Yuanyue for being hypocritical in his heart, your Xiao family's tiger and wolf heart is known to passers-by, you are cheeky and make a lot of nonsense.
Shaking his head, he said: "Xiao Yuanyue, you know that you can't do this, but it's just a waste of lips and tongues, no matter how decay my Long Clan is, as long as we five old guys are still there, there is zero tolerance for this." ”
Long Zhan's tone was very light, gentle and drizzly, but the meaning of firmness could be heard by anyone.
The rest of them nodded miraculously, putting aside the factions within the family and standing on the same front.
At the top of the list, Long Shixin, there were no words, gently closed her beautiful eyes, an indescribable meaning in her heart, satisfied or moved, emotional or gratified, in short, at this moment, all emotions were confused, and finally, the girl's eyes were red.
I thought that in the face of the menacing and arrogant Xiao family, the family would start from the overall situation, choose to give up the life and death of one person, and get a breath for the whole family, a place to survive, I am afraid that anyone will make the same choice, but I didn't expect that the result would be like this, for their own sake, the family stood on the cusp of the Xiao family's Bran family,-for-tat.
"Why did you hand over Chu Chen for the sake of me being able to do this?" the girl suddenly wondered.
Long Shixin is really like what Long Yuewen thought, the city government is shallow, and the experience of doing things is almost blank, otherwise, she would not be able to ask such a simple question.
At the end, Long Chuchen's good-looking eyebrows were raised, obviously, the actions of several decision-makers of the Long family violated the young man's view of the family after the "bloody night", originally that the family would hand over Long Shixin in exchange for survival, and indeed did not envision this kind of ending, which was unexpected.
"Zero tolerance, zero tolerance......" The young man murmured softly, his eyes a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking?
"What about zero tolerance?" Xiao Yuanyue sneered, sarcastic, "Then I don't know why, the Long clan sent Long Chuchen ...... No, what about trading, trading out? Since the existence of Duolun City, the matter of women and relatives has been seen and seen, and the list is endless, but the Long Clan has done the opposite, and it is really a precedent in a field! Grandmaster-level, it is difficult to praise. Xiao Yuanyue was unscrupulous, unrestrained, and extremely humiliating.
"You junior, what do you know?, are Long Shixin and Long Chuchen at the same level?" Long Yan couldn't hold back the surging flames in his heart, and retorted without any scruples.
Long Tan had the urge to cover his face, looking at Long Yan, there was a precursor of fire in his eyes.
Xiao Yuanyue was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he reacted and said: "Elder Long Yan, he is really "bright and fair", it is better to see than to hear, tonight, he opened his eyes and admired him. ”
Long Yan also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the embarrassment on his face gradually piled up.
Xiao Yuanyue's face was solemn, his expression was stern, but his heart was unusual, and he said secretly: "If it weren't for the instructions of the City Lord's Mansion, just what you said about Long Zhan would have become the fuse/rope." ”
In this way, the Long family is toasting and not eating. Xiao Yuanyue's tone was also kind.
Long Zhan continued: "There's no reason not to eat a toast, but how dare you eat a toast mixed with poison." ”
"Good, good, good. Xiao Yuanyue is good three times in a row, "The coming day is long, I hope that the coming-of-age ceremony will be successfully completed in a few days, and there will be no accidents!"
Long Zhan listened, startled, the family coming-of-age ceremony is related to the future of the family, and there is no room for mistakes, and at the moment, he hurriedly spoke.
"Wait. ”
Xiao Yuanyue turned his head, a sharp glint crossed his eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Why, it's hard to leave a contemptible person." ”
"Although the Long clan has declined, the villain's business is disdainful of doing it. ”
Xiao Yuanyue said: "In this way, what's the matter with leaving contemptible people." ”
"Regarding the marriage contract between the two clans of Long Xiao, it can be discussed separately, Long Shixin can't do it, my Long clan still has a lot of people. "Long Zhan's words seem to be high-sounding, but in fact, they have shown weakness.
Xiao Yuanyue naturally understood the meaning of the dragon battle, and was happy in his heart, in fact, the sentence that Xiao Yuanyue just threw down was simply to bomb the enemy, since the instructions of the City Lord's Mansion were issued, it was impossible for the Xiao family to dispatch the masters of the clan on a large scale to annex the Long Clan, although the Xiao family and the Bran family combined had the strength to crush the Long Clan, but it was impossible for the City Lord's Mansion not to intervene, because, it was now in a critical period, of course, this key was not about the situation in Duolun City, but not far away, and it was also a strategic place on the frontier.
Not long ago, the city lord's mansion suddenly issued a piece of paper, telling the Bran family.
Accordingly, to the west, eight hundred miles away, in the border area, the empire's permanent military defense position "Eternal Fortress" sent a message, and the demon side was restless again, gathering a large-scale offensive legion in a vain attempt to storm the "Eternal Fortress", and the "Great Patriotic War" that had been stopped for twelve years was likely to break out again.
And today, the Xiao family also received similar news from the City Lord's Mansion, and in a special period, even if the Xiao family had the idea of annexing the Long Clan, it had to be silent for a while.
However, can the Xiao family be willing?
Therefore, Xiao Yuanyue visited the Long Clan on a starry night, wanting to snatch the first person in the Long Clan, and use the right to make interest, and then implement the family plan after the border incident is over.
Regarding the City Lord's Mansion, even with Xiao Yuanyue's current status and identity, he still can't see this mysterious force clearly, especially after suppressing the Xiao family and the Bran family, the color of the City Lord's Mansion is even more unpredictable, you know, the Xiao family and the Bran family joining forces are not only superficial on the surface, but the shadow of Lei Yufei, the descendant of the Lei clan in the imperial capital, is reflected in it, even so, the City Lord's Mansion still has the upper hand, of course, it only has the upper hand.
"Others, how can they be worthy of the descendants of my clan. The disdain on Xiao Yuanyue's face came unexpectedly, "It's better to do it this way, the two sides fought three rings, and you won, this matter is stopped, if our side is lucky to win, we will conclude a century-old good between the two sides, and exchange the life of the nephew of the head of my clan for three rings that are beneficial to you, and we are already tolerant enough." ”
Long Zhan's hesitation was repeated, always lingering in his heart, how could the Xiao family be so kind? Not to mention the nephew of the head of the Xiao family, not to mention that it was not the Long family's attack and killing, it was true, the Xiao family would not be angry with this, their Xiao family wished that someone would kill this son, and the people of the Long family fought for this, not wanting any basin to be deducted from the Long family.
"Since the patriarch of the dragon war is still determined, the contemptible people have no choice but to truthfully show the clan, at that time, the head of the family will definitely visit the dragon clan's coming-of-age ceremony. ”
Long Zhan's gaze slowly touched a few people beside him, especially the girl elder Long Yi, seeing them nodding in unison, he slowly exhaled and replied, "Okay, then do it, three rings, by whom?"
"Don't worry, it's natural and fair, it's all played by the younger generation, of course, you must be a clansman under the age of sixteen, otherwise, it's unfair to yourself. Xiao Yuanyue spoke eloquently.
The more hesitant the dragon battle became, the fairer it was, the more confused the dragon war became.
"Where?"
Xiao Yuanyue thought for a while, and said casually: "Well, let's choose it at your clan's coming-of-age ceremony!" Leaving a sentence, Shi Shiran left.
Long Zhan still couldn't keep his composure, his mind fluttered, and the place returned to the Long family's coming-of-age ceremony, what did the Xiao family want to do?
Xiao Yuanyue, who was about to enter the corner, suddenly turned around, waved his arm, and shouted loudly: "For the sake of the relationship that is about to become in-laws, I will give you a kind reminder, and pay more attention to the southern part of Duolun City, the Demon Spirit Mountain Range." In an instant, the figure completely disappeared around the corner.
"Demon Spirit Mountain Range, there is a mercenary-infested area, what does Xiao Yuanyue want, is it ill-intentioned?" Long Zhan muttered in his heart, "No matter what, there is always a turning point in the incident about Long Shixin, next, it's up to you, the fresh blood of the family?"
Since Xiao Yuanyue left, the scene of the family banquet has been boiling, and it is boiling with anger, and the people of each clan are agitated and full of righteous indignation, especially the younger generation, who have released the surging emotions in their hearts without reservation, and most of the clansmen have words in their mouths.
"I am not yet sixteen years old, and on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, I must go to the ring and teach those vile delegates a good lesson. ”
"And me, I just turned sixteen, and I also meet the rules, I must go to the ring to protect the "mysterious" girl of the family. ”
"You save it! it can't be your turn, don't do it, you two go, then you don't need the third scene, just send Long Shixin away." His words were like a basin of biting ice water poured on their heads, and the two teenagers were silent, but the eager eyes remained.
......
The marriage contract imposed on Long Chuchen was forgotten by everyone, and the family banquet was talking about these three rings everywhere, and every young clansman's face was full of expectations, which was a kind of expectation to protect the "goddess" in his mind, in other words, pride, but I don't know if this pride can be maintained, especially when there is an insurmountable resistance, will there be a proud clansman?
From tonight, from the family banquet, the family coming-of-age ceremony three days later has more meaning than before, and it is also rendered with a layer of extreme romance, protecting the goddess.
At the end, Long Chuchen's hands that were hidden behind him were even harder.
