On this day, the clan was particularly lively, men, women and children all wore new clothes, and Yunying also prepared a costume for Ding Cheng. Ding Cheng put on his new clothes and fitted perfectly, looking handsome and chic. At noon, the clansmen gathered in the ancestral hall and worshiped the ancestors, and the three elders held a succession ceremony for Shaowu in accordance with the rules, officially passing the position of patriarch to Shaowu.

After the ceremony, the clansmen sang and danced in the square to celebrate one of the great events of the clan. In the evening, a hundred family banquets were set up in the square. The clansmen exchanged cups and congratulated each other.

Ding Cheng and Yun Ying both congratulated Shaowu, and Xiao Yu said: "Brother Shaowu has become the patriarch, and I will no longer be afraid of that villain of Yijin to make trouble." ”

When the crowd heard this, they burst into laughter.

Suddenly, a flame flew from a distance and landed on the roof of the ancestral hall. Ding Cheng took a closer look, and it turned out to be a rocket. Then, dozens of rockets were shot over, and several clansmen were injured by arrows, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to extinguish the fire and treat it.

Shaowu roared angrily and shouted loudly, "Who dares to attack my people?"

I only heard the chaotic sound of "kick and tap" from a distance, and a large group of people rushed over in the darkness, surrounding the square, and there were at least fifty or sixty people in the formation.

These people were armed with big swords and spears, and they were in a neat formation, like officers and soldiers, but they were different from ordinary officers and soldiers, just like the group of bandits that Ding Cheng and Yun Ying met in the market town on the shore of Fuxian Lake.

Ding Cheng thought to himself, is it a bandit and bandit under the banner of the righteous army?

Shaowu stood in the middle of the square and said angrily, "Who are you, why are you attacking us?"

One of the people in the chaotic army walked out slowly, and said proudly: "This general is a general under the command of General Li Dingshan, and someone has reported that you have a group of bandits hiding here, and this general is specially here to suppress the bandits." ”

Yun Ying asked Ding Cheng in a low voice, "Who is Li Dingshan?"

Ding Cheng said: "I heard that he is the leader of a rebel army, with 100,000 troops under his command, and the momentum is huge. ”

Shaowu saw that this person was clearly here to find trouble, the suppression of bandits was fake, and looting was the real intention, so he patiently asked: "Our village is full of people, I don't know who reported that there are bandits in our village?"

The general shouted, "Come out, Ijin, and meet your old friends." ”

There was a man behind a chaotic army, and it was Ijin.

Shaowu pointed at Yi Jin and scolded: "You traitor, you are getting more and more promising, and you have colluded with the rebel army to attack my people, and I will not allow you today." ”

Yi Jin also scolded loudly: "Shaowu, you don't put on the stinky shelf of the patriarch." The position of the patriarch was originally mine, but you don't look down on me at all, you can't tolerate me Yijin, and you guys joined forces to kill my wife, and today I will avenge my wife. ”

Elder Chengfeng trembled angrily, pointed at Yi Jin and scolded: "You scum, you are so upside down and shameless, you really lose the face of your ancestors!"

The general said in a loud voice, "What do you say, brothers, kill me, and the spoils of war tonight are yours." ”

The rebel army shouted and rushed towards the tribesmen in the square, and many of them fell in pools of blood. Shaowu and the young men in the clan resisted, and the two sides started a scuffle. But those rebel armies are all bandits who have fought on the battlefield, and the clansmen have no weapons in their hands, where will they be the opponents of the rebel army.
