I'm Liu Bei.

"Since the four of you have no objections, then please go back and inform the clansmen not to be at home and not to go out at noon tomorrow. Avoid unnecessary harm from bandits. ”

"Obey the will of the clan." The four elders waved their hands and said in unison.

"Is there anything important going on in the clan lately?"

"The grain storage in the warehouse has bottomed out, and it can only support about half a month." Elder Zhao said.

I cursed in my heart, this old boy deliberately didn't say it until now. He is in charge of the warehouse, and it should have been clear when the food in it will run out. According to the general idea, I should have reported it on the day I took office. There is no food in the tribe, but there will be a big mess. Perhaps, he hoped that there would be a mess, so he only reported it for nine days.

"Third grandfather, do you have a way to get some food?" I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly asked the third grandfather what he could do.

"Every family in the clan goes to the warehouse every month according to the number of people to receive food. It's the beginning of July, so don't worry about it this month. At the end of the month, it can also be used for half a month. That is, we have forty days to prepare to buy food. It's just that there is not much treasury money in the clan, and if it is all used, it can only buy two months' worth of food. Moreover, once the war with the White Snake Village starts, it will be difficult for the clansmen to get out of the valley, and it will be even more difficult to transport grain in. ”

"Patriarch, can we postpone the war with the White Snake Village and wait until next spring to fight again?" Elder Shan said.

, finally showing the fox's tail. Let me give up, it will never be.

The further the war dragged on, the more detrimental it was to the clan. The main communication routes between the canyon and the outside world must not be in the hands of others. The truth that power comes out of the barrel of a gun has been explained very clearly by Leader Mao. Unless I am asked to step down from the position of the patriarch, the decision to retake the exit of the canyon will go as planned.

The primary problem now is the lack of food, and there is not enough money in the treasury. Now the war with the White Snake Village is becoming more and more difficult to handle. Unless they are uprooted within a month, there will be great trouble if there is no food in the tribe.

I said solemnly: "Third Grandpa, if I open up the mountain road in and out of the valley for you, are you sure that you can buy two months' worth of grain within forty days?" ”

The third grandfather thought for a moment and replied solemnly: "The war outside has just subsided, and the price of food has skyrocketed. The food agreement will take the opportunity to raise food prices. However, the old decay can try. ”

"Well, the food problem is settled. Anything else important? ”

Seeing that no one spoke, I continued: "The inauguration ceremony of the patriarch will be postponed for a few more days, and the exact date will be determined later. Let's go back first. Elder Baili is asked to stay. "Now that the clan doesn't have enough money, I have to save a little flower.

When only me and Elder Baili were left in the clan hall, he knelt down and said, "Elder, now that the clan is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, please teach me how to get out of the predicament!" ”

Elder Baili helped me up and said slowly, "The patriarch doesn't have to be like this. My four clans have long run out of oil, and if they can save it, they will save it, and if they can't save it, they can only disperse. ”

"No, Elder. Liu Bei knows that his qualifications are mediocre, but his heart is still there. You are the most respected of your people. Can you bear to see your people fleeing like their ancestors? ”

"Patriarch, the old man is really powerless. However, I can recommend someone who may solve the problem. ”

"Who?"

"Li Yaya!"

I forgot about this scheming girl. So he immediately went to the hilltop hut to look for her.

The afternoon sun was particularly poisonous, and she seemed to ignore it, standing alone on the edge of the cliff in front of the house and looking at the holy river below.

"Aren't you afraid of the heat?" I asked as I walked over to her.

"I lost!" Yaya said calmly.

"What lost?"

Yaya turned around: "I guess you will go up the mountain at 11:30 o'clock in the afternoon." As a result, you are a quarter of an hour (half an hour) late. ”

She walked back into the house, looked at her back, and suddenly felt a little scared. What a woman to be able to count that I would come to her. I couldn't help but gasp and followed.

"We don't need to be polite, do we?" I knelt down at the desk and said.

"Of course, when have you ever been polite to me?" The maid also knelt down and sat down.

"Yes. I've always had a knot in my heart that I want you to untie for me. ”

She looked at me as if to say continue.

"Third Grandfather, Elder Zhao, and Bailiru Everyone's plan against Li Fujun, did you already know about it?"

"Not only do I know, but I proposed it." I was surprised by Yaya's answer.

"Why are you doing that?"

"You know." Li Yaya said lightly.

"What if I don't know?" I really don't know why.

"Am I overestimating you?" Li Yaya was a little contemptuous. This kind of look, Li Fujun also gave me nine days ago.

"If there is no estimate, how can we overestimate and underestimate."

"Say, the real purpose of coming here is not to remember your glorious deeds with me, right?" Li Yaya's face was already showing impatience, and it vaguely made people feel that an inexplicable situation was about to happen.

"There is a shortage of food in the clan, if you want to move the White Snake Village, then the food bought from outside cannot be transported in." I'm very honest.

"I can tell you, but how do you repay me?"

"It's almost husband and wife, how do you want me to reciprocate?" I said warmly.

"I want to break the engagement!"

"Then isn't the position of my patriarch ......" This sentence was never spoken, but only sighed secretly in his heart.

Li Yaya said: "Do you still have a choice?" ”

"You don't want me to be the patriarch?"

"So to speak."

"Is there a better fit?"

"Yes."

"Zhao Zangfeng?"

"Yes!"

"That's not right!" As soon as I spoke, a cold sweat broke out of my spine. So he slowly stood up. She said she lost just now, so who was betting with her?

It's him! How could a person who knows how to commit suicide by jumping into the water? How did I forget that!

The white linen curtain in the back room was lifted, and a familiar figure flashed out. Looking at him, my heart suddenly cooled completely.

Yes, it's him!

"You really didn't die, Li Fujun!" I feigned composure.

"Isn't it a little late to find out now?" Li Fujun said coldly: "Don't tease him anymore!" Give him a good time! ”

"You're going to kill me?" I said with a blank face.

"Can't you?" Li Yaya stood beside him.

I was slightly surprised: "I actually ignored that you are a martial arts master!" ”

When Li Yaya said that she knew a little bit about martial arts, she felt that she had a unique skill. Now that I think about it, today's crisis is all caused by myself. I repeatedly neglected some important things, so that I did not foresee the danger of today.

What does Elder Baili mean by coming here, could it be that he is with them?

"It's not too late to think about it now, at least I understand it." Li Yaya pulled out a thin long sword from her waist with a "swish".

Her weapon was wrapped around her waist!

"I believe that no one in the clan can defeat this thin sword?" I looked at Li Yaya's murderous eyes and said. In my current situation, it is almost impossible to escape. At present, there is only time to stall and wait for the emergence of foreign aid. If there is no foreign help, my road to hegemony will come to an end here.

"Not even the number one master in the clan, the Baili Sword!" Li Fujun said a little arrogantly.

"Even if you kill me, you can't be the patriarch."

"You're stupid!" Li Yaya smiled. "Haven't you seen the matriarch?"

"Looks like he's really stupid!" Li Fujun hugged Li Yaya, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

suddenly understood that the clan worshiped Chang'e as a holy daughter, and Chang'e was an extremely strong woman, and she abandoned Houyi in order to become an immortal. The Li clan is the descendant of Li Mu, and history records that the men of Li Mu's entire clan have been beheaded by King Zhao under the city of Handan. Therefore, the ancestors who fled here to settle here were all women who survived.

After figuring out this layer, I finally understood. The clan can accept Li Yaya as the female patriarch, but Li Fujun ran behind the scenes.
