Chapter 225: Chapter 127: Does the Luo Family Harbor a Talisman Maker? The Amethyst Flame Sword Formation?_1
The one with purple hair was Liang Shichun.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but slightly furrow his brows.
He had once attempted to use the substitution method.
To put himself in the shoes of someone from the Huai Shui County Luo Family.
Then, he tried to deduce the significance behind the Luo Family’s actions.
But it seemed he had failed.
No matter how he tried to deduce,
he couldn’t figure out what the Luo Family was ultimately aiming for.
“As of now, how many troops have been amassed at the border between Huai Shui County and Qingqu County?”
After a long silence, Liang Shichun suddenly asked Liang Xu, who was before him.
“There are probably already over half a million, we have over two hundred thousand on our side, and the Luo Family combined with the Lu Family also have roughly the same amount,” replied Liang Xu.
“What’s the matter? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
“Don’t tell me you have some sort of plan?”
Liang Shichun shook his head; he didn’t reply but narrowed his eyes slightly as he contemplated something in his mind.
…
In Qingshi County City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Within the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was present,
Luo Ping was holding a report, silently reading it.
[Three days ago, the city overseen by the Jiang Family of Shang Heng District was also taken by the Four Great Families Alliance of Shang Heng District. Henceforth, the Jiang Family shall be completely removed from the list of the Five Great Families…]
Upon seeing this report, Luo Ping’s eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.
The Jiang Family had finally fallen.
The Jiang Family once had a chance.
If only the Jiang Family had successfully married off Jiang Xiaoyue, the daughter of the Jiang Family Head, into the Luo Family.
There would have been a connection between the Jiang Family and the Luo Family.
The Four Great Families Alliance within Shang Heng District would also refrain from laying their hands on the Jiang Family due to their relationship with the Luo Family.
However, it was a pity…
The Jiang Family failed to seize that one and only opportunity.
Though later, Jiang Xiaoyue, the daughter of the Jiang Family Head, came to the Luo Family once again,
Her attitude was sincere and humble as she beseeched the forgiveness of the Luo Family.
But once an opportunity is lost, it is lost.
Of course, the Luo Family wouldn’t just give the Jiang Family a second chance for no reason.
Moreover, Patriarch Changfeng had once said,
He was somewhat displeased with the Jiang Family of Shang Heng District.
With this, the Luo Family naturally became even less likely to accept any apologies from the Jiang Family.
…
Yes, the Jiang Family was thoroughly in decline.
However, since there was still a lingering connection between the Jiang Family and the Luo Family,
the Four Great Families Alliance of Shang Heng District did not pursue the total annihilation of the Jiang Family.
Instead, they silently eroded the strength and foundation of the Jiang Family little by little.
In these chaotic times, yet not exterminated,
The Jiang Family could barely be considered to have fortune intertwined with disaster.
…
After pondering for a long time,
Luo Ping quietly put down the report in his hand,
and casually picked up another one from the table.
Just as Luo Ping was about to open the next report,
suddenly, one, no, it seemed like two figures appeared outside the room.
“Luo Family Patriarch…”
A somewhat unfamiliar voice began to resonate from outside the room.
As the two people outside the room stepped in,
Luo Ping finally recognized the identities of the two individuals before him.
One was Lu Jun, the current Family Head of the leading clan in Yellow Mountain County, and the other was the Lu Family Young Master, the Qilin Child of the Lu Family, the future hope of the Lu Family, who had now successfully joined an Immortal Sect called the Fire Sword Sect outside the Da Feng Dynasty, and had also become an outer disciple of the Fire Sword Sect.
“Ah, Lu Family Patriarch…”
Seeing the two people before him, Luo Ping found himself unable to attend to the affairs on the desk anymore.
After all, they were allies of his family.
Moreover, judging from the behavior of the Lu Family over the past three months,
the Lu Family was so eager to cling to the Luo Family that they would even offer all their territory as a gift to the Luo Family without hesitation.
Even without that,
the mere presence of Lu Jun, the current Family Head of the Lu Family, and Lu Youdao, the Lu Family Young Master, on the Luo Family Clan land, was enough to show the Lu Family’s sincerity.
…
After chatting for a while with the Lu Family Patriarch,
Luo Ping took Lu Jun for a walk outside Qingshi County City.
Lu Youdao, as the Young Master of the Lu Family, followed closely behind.
Of course, at such a critical moment,
Luo Chuan, the Young Master of the Luo Family, naturally had to be present as well.
Even though, in the eyes of Luo Ping,
his eldest son was already a lost cause.
“Has the Lu Family Patriarch ever seen the grain production lands of our Huai Shui County Luo Family?”
Outside Qingshi County City,
as Luo Ping walked, he suddenly asked in a low voice.
Lu Jun responded with a slight smile and a low voice, “From the first day I entered Qingshi County City, I had heard about it, but have never witnessed it with my own eyes…”
Luo Ping spoke with a smile, “In that case, I’ll take the Lu Family Patriarch to see it for himself…”
Having said that, Luo Ping led the two members of the Lu Family to the grain production base established by the Luo Family outside Qingshi County City.
Normally, such matters would, of course, be kept confidential.
However, since the two members of the Lu Family were already here,
and it seemed that the Family Head of the Lu Family had no plans to return, as if he intended to stay long-term in Qingshi County City, with all family affairs already handed over to other members of the Lu Family,
allowing the two members of the Lu Family to see it was not entirely out of the question.
…
Upon Luo Ping’s arrival at the granary production base established by the Luo Family outside Qingshi County City,
Lu Jun, the current Family Head of the Lu Family,
couldn’t help but be somewhat astonished.
