Chapter 251: Chapter 135 Greedy Feng Wuyi, Unyielding Liang Family_2
“Liang Family Head, have you come to a decision?”
“If we continue to delay like this…”
“Qingqu County Liang Family may cease to exist.”
The elderly eunuch spoke softly with a hint of smile on his face as he held an orchid-shaped object in his hand.
Liang Ting met the eunuch’s words with silence.
Previously, he had intended to.
Seek external assistance to preserve Qingqu County Liang Family.
Joining forces with other powers by offering the lands of Qingqu County and Shanghua County.
It was just that, while it was planned that way,
The events that unfolded next were somewhat beyond his expectations.
…
The power represented by the eunuch behind him was none other than the Third Prince of the Da Feng Dynasty, Feng Wuyi.
Within the vast expanse of the Da Feng Dynasty,
The maternal family’s power behind Feng Wuyi was immensely strong.
Feng Wuyi controlled nearly five-tenths of the Da Feng Dynasty’s salt and food production.
To say that Feng Wuyi was the richest man in the Da Feng Dynasty, with the most resources, would not be an exaggeration.
However, despite the salt, the food, and a variety of resources,
The geographical position Feng Wuyi found himself in was quite awkward.
Feng Wuyi’s Qingcheng Prefecture was directly ahead of his second brother, Feng Wuhen’s territory of Changqing Prefecture.
Not far to the left was his eldest brother,
That is, the Zijin Prefecture under the control of the New Emperor, Feng Wumian.
To his right was a neutral territory, which would neither advance aggressively nor choose to assist anyone.
Therefore, should Feng Wuyi wish to expand his domain,
The best option was to expand into Luo Mountain Prefecture located below Qingcheng Prefecture.
But the situation in Luo Mountain Prefecture seemed somewhat complex,
Especially as both his next door second brother and eldest brother were eyeing him covetously.
So, Feng Wuyi had been patiently waiting and had not yet made a move.
Half a month ago, an opportunity finally came to Feng Wuyi.
The Luo Mountain Prefecture, historically balanced on a tripod of powers, now saw the Guan Family and Luo Family suddenly launching attacks on Qingqu County Liang Family.
And under the assault of these two forces,
Qingqu County Liang Family began to buckle under the pressure.
Thus, a messenger was sent to Qingcheng Prefecture to seek assistance from the Third Prince, Feng Wuyi.
But Feng Wuyi’s demands were excessively greedy.
Not only did he want to swallow up the two counties held by Liang Family,
He even wanted to seize control of most of the Liang Family’s industries.
The matter of requesting assistance remained deadlocked until now.
However, as it stands, the Liang Family seemed to be struggling to hold on any longer.
…
“Qingqu County, as well as Shanghua County, my Liang Family is willing to let them go,”
“But the industries in my Liang Family’s hands,”
“You must not touch them.”
In the room, Liang Ting, who sat in the main seat, spoke in a low, solemn voice.
“Liang Family Head, do you have any other choice?”
“Between life and death, what is there to hesitate about?”
The eunuch’s voice remained shrill as ever.
Even at this moment,
He had not eased up on any of the conditions.
Ceding Qingqu County, Shanghua County, and most of the Liang Family’s internal industries,
The Liang Family could survive.
But if they chose to stubbornly resist,
Unwilling to give up those industries,
The final outcome for the Liang Family would only be death.
What choice did the Liang Family have under such circumstances?
“Head of the house, why don’t we fight it out with the Guan Family and the Luo Family? We’d rather die than live in fear, right?”
In the room, Liang Xu, who stood over two meters tall and was all muscle, could no longer contain himself.
He clenched his fists tightly, speaking between gritted teeth.
“Not helping our Liang Family would be the Third Prince Feng Wuyi’s loss,”
“By now, the dynamics within the Da Feng Dynasty have become increasingly clear,”
“The only direction for the Third Prince to expand is into Luo Mountain Prefecture.”
“If he gives up this only chance for such meager benefits, I can only say… the Third Prince Feng Wuyi is truly foolish.”
In the room, Liang Shichun, who had a head of purple hair, could not help but interject.
“You, you all…”
“How dare you be so disrespectful?”
“Are you truly not afraid of death?”
“Do you truly not fear the extermination of your entire clan?”
“Without the assistance of the Third Prince, how long do you think your Liang Family can withstand the attacks from the Guan Family and Luo Family?”
“Three days? Five days? Or maybe ten days to a half month?”
The eunuch seemed to have lost his original composure.
The Third Prince, Feng Wuyi,
That was his sky.
Now, Feng Wuyi was actually insulted by this minor Liang Family.
Naturally, the eunuch found this unacceptable.
“Take him away…”
Liang Ting waved his hand in irritation.
Moments later, the eunuch was escorted out of the room by the people of the Liang Family.
Now, only three people remained in the room.
The Liang Family Head, Liang Ting.
Liang Xu, and Liang Shichun.
“Head of the house, what are your thoughts about the Third Prince Feng Wumian?”
After a moment of silence,
Liang Shichun, with his seemingly enchanting long purple hair, suddenly asked the seated Family Head, Liang Ting, in a low voice.
“Huh?”
“Didn’t we agree to fight to the end with the Luo Family and Guan Family?”
Liang Xu, sitting beside Liang Shichun, touched his head in confusion.
And Liang Ting, the Family Head seated in the main seat,
Then sighed helplessly.
Truth be told, the situation had indeed developed in a way that was beyond Liang Ting’s expectations.
The Liang Family had chosen to seek aid from the Third Prince Feng Wuyi for this reason.
