Chapter 230: Chapter 128: Three Months Already, How Come He’s Not Dead Yet? The Liang Family Clashes with the Luo Family_3
…
In the military camp of the Qingqu County Liang Family, within the Commander’s Tent.
The two-meter-tall Liang Xu, whose body was nothing but sinew and muscle,
was now flush with a red face.
Veins on his forehead stood out like cords.
His face seemed to be suffused with overwhelming frustration.
“Don’t try to stop me; I’m going to fight it out with the Huai Shui County Luo Family to the end,”
“Damn it, I don’t believe it.”
“Can that Luo Family from Huai Shui County really beat our Liang Family from Qingqu County?”
Inside the Commander’s Tent.
Liang Xu’s face was crimson, and he was cursing under his breath.
There was no helping it, as he had been feeling extremely stifled these past few days.
Who were they?
The Liang Family was the helmsman of Qingqu County.
And Qingqu County was one of the powerhouse counties of Luo Mountain Prefecture, ranking within the top two.
Compared to the Luo Family from Huai Shui County, which had only recently risen to power,
the Liang Family from Qingqu County that Liang Xu belonged to held an absolute advantage in every aspect.
However, now.
His Liang Family from Qingqu County was actually thinking of making peace with the Luo Family from Huai Shui County.
And what’s more, that damn Luo Family wasn’t even accepting it.
The Luo Family was really pushing their luck.
“There’s no issue with the army; even if we fight with the Luo Family from Huai Shui County for one year, two years, or even three years, it probably wouldn’t matter,”
“But have you thought about it, our Liang Family’s grain reserves are already running low.”
“To sustain these over two hundred thousand armored elites, our grain reserves are rapidly dwindling every day at an alarming rate.”
“One month, two months, that’s fine.”
“But what if this war continues on for three months, four months, or even six months, what shall our Liang Family do then?”
“By then, not to mention going all out and becoming mortal enemies with the Luo Family from Huai Shui County,”
“Our Liang Family from Qingqu County will have made such a huge sacrifice without any gain.”
“Is it… worth it?”
In the Commander’s Tent, sitting quietly at the main seat with a head of purple and somewhat bewitching long hair, was Liang Shichun.
Although his heart was also filled with reluctance and unwillingness,
but when thinking of the bigger picture…
Making peace with the Luo Family from Huai Shui County,
then turning to attack other weaker counties on some other pretext, clearly seemed like a better choice.
“Does it have to be this way?”
“Two months, no, one month, just give me one more month…”
“I feel that the Luo Family from Huai Shui County has also reached their limit.”
“The Luo Family from Huai Shui County is merely holding on by sheer stubbornness now.”
“As long as we can hold out, the final victory will definitely be ours, the Liang Family’s…”
The two-meter-tall Liang Xu, with his eyes red, spoke loudly and defiantly.
At this moment, he resembled a gambler at the gambling table.
He wanted to wager his last chip one final time.
Liang Shichun’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sank into contemplation, “One month?”
Liang Xu said with firm conviction, “Yes, just one month.”
Liang Shichun nodded silently and spoke in a low voice, “Alright, since that’s the case, I will talk to the family and continue supplying grain for one month.”
…
Time flew by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
Between Huai Shui County Luo Family and Qingqu County Liang Family, the stalemate continued unabated.
For the Luo Family’s side, it was naturally very relaxed and without any pressure.
With the Rain Seeking Talisman, Cooling Charm, and Locust Removal Talisman, these three special talismans in existence.
Grain was no longer an issue.
Indeed, as time passed.
The Luo Family’s grain reserves were even increasing at an extremely rapid pace.
However, for the Qingqu County Liang Family, the situation seemed a bit troublesome.
The previous three months had already consumed a large portion of the Qingqu County Liang Family’s grain reserves.
Now, as the war was set to continue for another month,
the pressure on the shoulders of the Qingqu County Liang Family inevitably grew.
…
Within the room of the current Luo Family Patriarch in the Luo Family Ancestral Land of Qingshi County City,
at this moment, Luo Ping, as the acting Family Head,
and Lu Jun, the Family Head of the Lu Family,
were sitting silently in this room.
Dealing with a mountain-like pile of government affairs.
Of course, seated at the primary position was Luo Ping,
and sitting beside Luo Ping was Lu Jun, the current Family Head of the Lu Family.
Ever since the leading family of Yellow Mountain County, the Lu Family, chose to side with Huai Shui County Luo Family, and the Young Master Lu Youdao, along with Luo Chuan, the Young Master of the Luo Family, had joined the Fire Sword Immortal Sect outside the Da Feng Dynasty,
the relationship between the Lu Family and the Luo Family had begun to rapidly warm up.
To this day, the relationship between the Luo Family and the Lu Family had reached a level where they could handle government affairs together.
“Family Head Lu, what’s your view on the Qingqu County Liang Family matter?”
After dealing with the affairs at hand,
Luo Ping suddenly lifted his head and quietly asked Lu Jun, seated beside him.
“The Qingqu County Liang Family?” Hearing this, Lu Jun’s eyes narrowed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he replied softly, “The comprehensive strength of the Qingqu County Liang Family is undoubtedly strong in the entirety of Luo Mountain Prefecture, but unfortunately, the present era does not belong to the Liang Family.”
“Let’s not talk about anything else, the mere issue of grain alone is something the Liang Family has always been unable to resolve.”
Luo Ping nodded and then asked, “If the Qingqu County Liang Family proposes peace, do you think our Luo Family should agree… or refuse?”
Lu Jun contemplated this question for a while.
Then, with a relatively calm expression, he said quietly, “I heard that the Liang Family’s old ancestor has achieved the Blood Cultivation Realm beyond Viscera Refinement, so unless necessary, it’s best not to force the Liang Family into a corner, but if the Liang Family wishes to seek peace, they naturally have to show their sincerity…”
Following Lu Jun’s response,
the room was suddenly filled with Luo Ping’s bursts of laughter.
Indeed, this Family Head Lu Jun of the Lu Family,
and he, Luo Ping, were kindred spirits!
