Chapter 187: Chapter 114: Hate the Luo Family? Want Revenge?_2
Alongside the farmland, next to Hu Min.
Impatience flickered across Luo Chuan’s face.
“Young Master, this is the Family Head’s command…”
Hu Min replied, bowing slightly, his demeanor extremely respectful.
“Actually, having you here is enough…”
Luo Chuan glanced at Hu Min beside him.
However, for such a sensitive topic,
Hu Min chose not to verbally respond.
“By the way, how has my father been doing recently?”
“I’ve been so absorbed in studying formations lately that I haven’t sought out father much…”
After pondering for a moment, Hu Min responded softly, “The Family Patriarch is still dealing with affairs within Huai Shui County every day. Although the grain issue has gradually been resolved over time, it’s followed by problems which are even bigger and more troublesome…”
Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan showed some interest and asked quietly, “What bigger problems?”
Hu Min answered, “The bandits from Yellow Mountain County…”
Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow, “The bandits from Yellow Mountain County?”
As he spoke, Luo Chuan couldn’t help but nod his head.
He wasn’t completely ignorant about the situation in Yellow Mountain County.
Yellow Mountain County is one of the three counties bordering Huai Shui County.
Of the four counties, it’s the largest.
It also has the greatest population.
However, Yellow Mountain County is also the most chaotic among the four counties.
The bandits in Yellow Mountain County are countless, and their power is rampant.
The family powers in Yellow Mountain County seem somewhat insignificant and weak in the face of the bandits’ might.
If the Luo Family’s upcoming biggest trouble is the bandits from Yellow Mountain County,
that is not an entirely incomprehensible matter.
…
After harvesting all the grain,
Hu Min and Luo Chuan,
subsequently returned to Qingshi City.
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land, within the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.
Right now, Luo Ping was silently gazing at a pile of documents on the table, stacked like a small hill.
However, among the numerous documents,
there was one in particular that grabbed his attention.
This document was a different color than the rest,
seemingly sent over from Yellow Mountain County.
It was not from the bandit forces of Yellow Mountain County, but from the family powers there, severely suppressed by the bandits.
In Yellow Mountain County, bandits run amok.
Though the county is known for its bandit forces,
this doesn’t mean there are no other family powers within.
It’s just that typically, these family powers are so suppressed by Yellow Mountain County’s bandit forces that they remain unnoticed by outsiders.
“Yellow Mountain County, the Lu Family…”
“They actually thought about allying with our Huai Shui County Luo Family, as well as the other family powers within Yellow Mountain County suppressed by bandit forces,
wanting to join forces to eradicate the bandits.”
At this, Luo Ping couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head, then he put down the document in his hand.
He stood up silently and walked out of the room.
According to this document, Luo Ping could deduce that the Lu Family, a leading force among the many family powers in Yellow Mountain County, must have learned that the Luo Family was attacked and several villages and two towns were slaughtered by the White Lotus Stockade of Yellow Mountain County.
However, what Luo Ping found puzzling was,
why did the Lu Family assume that the Luo Family would certainly join hands with the families in Yellow Mountain County?
Did he, Luo Ping, look so foolish?
Would he do something where there was no benefit to be had?
The lost villages and towns were gone.
In this matter, the Luo Family would for now take note of the grudge against White Lotus Stockade,
but this didn’t mean the Luo Family would react impulsively, retaliating right after being struck.
The Da Feng Dynasty’s prize had slipped through its fingers; all the heroes sought it.
This was not a mere child’s game.
Winning the world was not so easily done.
…
After disregarding the request from the family powers of Yellow Mountain County,
Luo Ping sat back in the main seat.
He picked up the documents on the table,
attentively working through them one by one.
Before long, evening came.
A bright crescent moon hung high in the sky.
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In one of the most mysterious and ancient courtyards,
at that moment, Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family, was sitting quietly under a Stone Pavilion.
He was silently drinking the cool tea in his hand while playing a game of black and white Go with a pale-skinned young girl who was not very tall and seemed somewhat frail, Luo Youwei.
“It’s your turn, Patriarch Changfeng, it’s your turn,
Please make your move…”
Opposite Luo Changfeng, Luo Youwei urged with a tinge of impatience.
“Haven’t you noticed yet?”
“Little girl, you’ve already lost…”
In face of the young girl who still retained a youthful countenance and whose body faintly emitted a chill,
Luo Changfeng chuckled twice, then took a black stone and placed it on the board.
Had he not made that move, it might have been fine.
As soon as Luo Changfeng placed the stone,
Luo Youwei’s previously advantageous position instantly turned on its head.
…
In the end, Luo Changfeng easily won the game of Go.
And Luo Youwei, the little girl, strolled out of the courtyard with a pout.
Ever since Luo Qingshan left, Luo Yang left, and the little lad Luo Chuan gradually became engrossed in the path of formations,
The somewhat stronger and older Luo Youwei,
