Chapter XXVII: The Crisis Reappears
Ouyang Zhong, who had been following Mu Tian for a night, frowned, his body was like electricity, and he swept through the air one after another, swept into the Ouyang family, and reported to Ouyang Hong.
After listening to Ouyang Zhong's words, the eldest elder Ouyang Hong's face was solemn, his eyebrows furrowed together, and he lowered his head in contemplation.
In order to hide people's eyes, the Ding family even let the two teenagers win over various forces. Although I don't know if the various forces have taken refuge in the Ding family, judging from Mu Tian's expression, at least those forces will no longer go all out to deal with the Ding family. If these forces really don't do their best, then it will be difficult for the Ouyang family to preserve.
Seeing Ouyang Hong's gloomy face, Ouyang Mu's small face showed a trace of puzzlement, and secretly said, the Great Elder also thinks too much of the Ding family, so that the two teenagers can win over various forces. After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but say, "Great Elder, although Mu Tian has been to various forces. But there may not be any refuge in them. Even if one or two forces defect to the Ding family, they can't change the overall situation. ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Hong, who was thinking for a long time, raised his head, looked at Ouyang Mu's somewhat immature little face, and couldn't help but shake his head, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Ouyang Mu is now the patriarch of the Ouyang family. If you talk about cultivation talent, it is considered superior. A few days ago, I just broke through the bottleneck of the ninefold spiritual power and became a spiritual warrior. In the future, his spiritual power cultivation may be higher than Ouyang Jingchao. But his mind is only moderate, and he doesn't use his brain when he encounters problems. This family is going to be handed over to him, and Ouyang Hong is really a little worried.
Looking at Ouyang Hong, Ouyang Mu saw the disappointment and worry in Ouyang Hong's eyes. The confidence on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by panic. Ouyang Hong is the great elder of the clan, and his strength is the strongest in the whole clan, maybe one day he will be able to break through the spirit master and enter the spirit master. Originally, the Realm Spirit Continent was a world where strength was respected. If Ouyang Hong hadn't wanted to concentrate on cultivating, the position of the patriarch wouldn't have fallen on him. Now that Ouyang Hong said a word, his patriarchal position may not be guaranteed.
Retracting his gaze, Ouyang Hong let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "The Ding family's hand is not simple, we were fooled at the beginning. The Ding family did it for us all day yesterday. First of all, they pretended to be lax, so that we did not dare to act at will. In the evening, we visited several major forces of the Ouyang Alliance one after another, not to draw the major forces into their camp, but to make us wonder who was interested in getting closer to them, so that we were suspicious of each other, and we could no longer hold each other. Regardless of the reaction of the major forces, it will not be monolithic. ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Mu's face was slightly stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The Ding family sent a young man Mu Tian to several forces of the Ouyang Alliance once, and the alliance that Ouyang Hong had worked so hard to build overnight collapsed?
Glancing at the puzzled Ouyang Mu, Ouyang Hong's brows tightened, and he said indifferently: "Mu Tian went to the various forces of the Ouyang Alliance, and he must not be able to hide the eyeliner of the various forces. They will also be like us, I don't know who took refuge in the Ding family. When fighting, you should also pay attention to your back in case someone sneaks up. In this way, even if no one takes refuge in the Ding family, Ouyang Meng's strength will drop by more than half. ”
Gasping for air, Ouyang Mu finally felt the Ding family's powerful methods, and there was a panic in his heart. Whoever faces such an unfathomable force as the Ding family will also be frightened. Not to mention a teenager like Ouyang Mu, he looked at Ouyang Hong and pinned his last hope on him.
Feeling the gaze of looking over, Ouyang Hong glanced at Ouyang Mu, and did not speak, but looked at Ouyang Mu quietly, his eyes full of hope.
After a pause, Ouyang Mu understood what Ouyang Hong meant. Now that he is the patriarch, he has something to deal with. At the same time, he also understands that this is his last chance, and if he doesn't handle it well, he will lose his position as patriarch.
After a long while, Ouyang Mu's frowning brows relaxed, a smile appeared on his little face, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Great Elder, now prepare to go to the city lord's house to propose a marriage before the dowry." ”
Hearing this, the Great Elder's old face finally showed a smile of relief, nodded, and said with a smile: "You have finally grown up." ”
Hearing Ouyang Hong's words, Ouyang Mu had a wry smile on his face.
Ximen Yan, the daughter of the city lord, was born with five big and three thick, and she didn't look like a woman. But the city lord regards it as the pearl of his palm, and he is not willing to marry ordinary people. It just so happened that Ximen Yan met Ouyang Mu by chance and fell in love at first sight. The city lord Ximen Peng saw that the Ouyang family was not bad, and thought that he was worthy of his daughter, so he went to the door. was politely rejected by the Ouyang family on the grounds of a marriage contract with the Ding family. Now Ouyang Mu wants to come to the door in person to propose.
As soon as he thought of Ding Menyan's male face and strong figure, Ouyang Mu felt a churn in his stomach and almost swallowed it.
Holding back a glance at Ouyang Mu, who had an ugly face, Ouyang Hong just patted Ouyang Mu's shoulder lightly, which was considered comforting. Then he turned and prepared the dowry.
……
Dayan City, in the city lord's mansion.
In the living room, Ximen Peng, who had a gloomy face, looked coldly at Ouyang Mu and the others who came to propose marriage.
Thinking of the Ouyang family's refusal to marry two years ago, Ximen Peng's face couldn't help but be gloomy. Secretly, your Ouyang family was forced by the Ding family to have no way out, so they came to our Ding family. If you know today, why bother in the first place.
Facing Ximen Peng's gloomy gaze, Ouyang Mu had to try his best to fix the smile on his face, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction. To be honest, he didn't come to propose, he was looking for a big tree for the Ouyang family that could shelter them.
"Daddy~"
The awkward atmosphere in the hall was broken by a voice that looked like a man. When Ximen Peng heard the voice, his expression turned cloudy and clear, and he turned his head to look at Ximen Yan, whose face was red.
Seeing Ximen Peng's gaze, Ximen Yan's face turned a little redder, but she lowered her head, her eyes flashed with anxiety, she was really afraid that Ximen Peng would refuse this family business.
Seeing his daughter's rare shy appearance, Ximen Peng didn't know what was going on in his daughter's mind, sighed lightly, nodded and agreed to the marriage.
Seeing Ximen Peng agree, Ouyang Mu was also secretly relieved. But when his eyes moved to Ximen Yan, his heart suddenly felt like a handful of chicken feathers, and he felt a little out of breath.
Ouyang Mu's marriage proposal, under the deliberate publicity of the Ouyang family, spread all over Dayan City in less than a day.
Ximen Peng, the city lord of Dayan, is very satisfied with the Ouyang family's approach, he, the city lord, doesn't care too much, my mind is all on my daughter Ding Menyan.
Sitting on the expensive purple wood chair, squinting his eyes, looking at Ximen Yan with a smile on his face, he was also secretly relieved.
Since Ouyang Mu refused the marriage, Ximen Yan was sullen all day long. Ximen Peng was afraid that something would happen to his daughter, and when he was worried, Ouyang Mu came to the door. Although Ximen Peng knew that Ouyang Muqiu's motives were not pure, he was very entangled in his heart, but now that he saw that his daughter's depressed face finally showed a smile, he felt that it was not a bad thing to agree to the Ouyang family.
In this marriage, although the Ouyang family came to propose marriage in order to protect the family, Ximen Yan was happy, and Ximen Peng was still quite satisfied. The daughter is getting older and older, and in a few years he will have to marry him into a small family, which makes his face a little ugly.
……
The marriage between the Ouyang family and the city lord was known all over the city, and the Ding family also received the news.
The Ding family's joy at Mu Tian's successful decomposition of Ouyang Meng instantly turned into nothing, and his face was covered with thick clouds.
The city lord Ximen Peng, who can be in the Honorable Realm Spirit Continent in strength and become the lord of a city, naturally has a certain strength. But with his strength, it was not enough to make the Ding family so afraid. What the Ding family is afraid of is the power behind him - the Simon family.
The Ximen family is the head of the five major families of the Yanzi Empire, second only to the royal family. Due to the prosperity of the Simon family, they sent a number of strong families to challenge the small and medium-sized city lords, and finally became the city lords to dominate one side. This kind of challenge is very common in the Realm Spirit Continent. As long as the foundation of the royal family cannot be touched, the new city lord who successfully challenges pays taxes according to the royal regulations, and the royal family rarely cares about this kind of thing. But as long as the royal family felt that their arrogant position was threatened, they were sent to the strong men of the royal family to annihilate it in one fell swoop.
Now that the Ouyang family and the city lord are married, they are on insurance. In the Yanzi Empire, no one dared to touch him except for the royal family. Unless you want the family to perish.
After knowing the current form, Mu Tian frowned, and Mu Tian, whose face was a little pale, suppressed the horror in his heart and forced him to calm down. glanced at Ding Zhaolan, who was sitting above, and saw that he was also with willow eyebrows, and his beautiful eyes were slightly panicked.
Seeing Ding Zhaolan and several elders with a sad face, Mu Tian sighed lightly and said sadly: "Since this is the case. In order to keep the bloodline of the Ding family, the core members of the family were transferred to other towns in batches as soon as possible. Although the house of Simon is powerful, we have nothing to do with them. Just leave Ximen Peng's territory. I think with Ximen Peng's status in the family, it is impossible to mobilize the people of the Ximen family to hunt down and kill the Ding family. ”
"It's not that easy. Hearing this, Ding Zhaolan raised his head, glanced at Mu Tian, and said with a long sigh: "The Ximen family has always maintained the second largest force in the Yanzi Empire, because they have always been cautious and vicious, and they will not leave any potential enemies for the family. Although we don't pose a threat to them, once Ouyang Mu and Ximen Yan get married, we will become their hidden enemies, and that will be when our Ding family will be destroyed. ”
His body trembled, Mu Tian's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his heart was full of guilt. If he hadn't come to the Ding family by himself, the Ding family would not have faced such a dilemma. ”
"Elder Mu," Ding Zhaolan hesitated for a moment and said indifferently, "You are not from the Ding family, now you should pack up your things and leave." ”
"What?"
Mu Tian looked at Ding Zhaolan with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He didn't have a home in the Realm Spirit Continent at all, and he had already regarded the Ding family as his home. Now that Ding Zhaolan asked him to leave, how could he not be surprised.
Eyebrows raised, Mu Tianshen's eyes suddenly condensed, a murderous aura emanated from him, gritted his silver teeth and said, "Since you can't escape." Then let's break the net and let us live, they don't want to feel good, and they will kill Ouyang Mu tonight. ”
Several elders glanced at Mu Tian, whose face was resolute, a trace of ruthlessness slowly appeared on his gloomy face, his eyes gradually cooled, he nodded lightly, and said, "What Elder Mu said is true. Even if it is death, you have to bite a piece of their flesh. It's just that the young generation in the clan must be quietly sent away first. We'll do the work for the rest of us, old guys. ”
"Hmm. That's the only way to do it. Glancing at the elders, Ding Zhaolan's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth said with a cruel smile. Then he turned his head to look at Mu Tian and said softly: "Elder Mu, although your spiritual power is not high, you have a lot of ghost ideas, and you are an empty realm master. It's up to you to lead the juniors of the clan away. Whether the bloodline of the Ding family can be preserved or not depends on you. ”
"This~"
Mu Tian originally wanted to stay, but when he thought of his strength, he was speechless, but he couldn't let him be a deserter and flee when the enemy approached.
Glancing at Mu Tian, who was in a dilemma, and then at Ding Zhaolan, Ding Mingfeng stood up and said softly: "Maybe it's not to the point of desperately." ”
After a pause, Ding Zhaolan's gaze instantly moved to Ding Mingfeng's body. The gentle words just now were like a little spark in the ice and snow cold sky, bringing a glimmer of hope to people in desperate situations.
