Chapter 263: Chapter 139: Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect Occupies Absolute Advantage, Turn Bai Family?_2
“`
“It’s meaningless…”
Nangong Ming shook his head, his face showing a hint of bitterness, “I came out from the Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect, leaving the Nangong Family Clan behind and forgoing all the assistance from the family, all to prove my own abilities. I wanted to show that I am not inferior to anyone.”
“If, at this moment, I have to rely on the power of the Nangong Family Clan after facing some setbacks,”
“then what was the point of everything I did before?”
“Was everything I did just a joke?”
…
Inside the palace, Nangong Ming’s voice slowly echoed.
The middle-aged man in black, standing behind Nangong Ming, was slightly bowing his head, silent.
“You may leave as well.”
“Let me be alone for a while…”
After a long while, Nangong Ming said to the middle-aged man behind him, his voice slightly hoarse.
The man in black nodded,
then, like a gust of wind, suddenly disappeared within the palace,
as if he had never been there at all.
…
In the blink of an eye, about half a month had passed by.
Ever since the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect and the Changping Prefecture Sub-sect had chosen to join the ranks of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
the ranks of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect had basically been hitting against those of the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect throughout this half-month.
Even, as time went on,
the disadvantages of the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect’s ranks not only grew increasingly larger but also started to become somewhat panic-stricken.
The two camps, each distinct from the other.
If the camp where the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect is located wins,
in the future, this land of the Da Feng Dynasty will be led by the Changqing Prefecture faction.
The other sub-sects will only be able to divide up some scraps.
However, if the ranks of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect’s side win,
the weakening of the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect and those other sub-sects who supported it can be foreseen.
Therefore, aside from the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect and the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
other sub-sects were all making a high-stakes gamble.
Win the bet, and it’s like everyone ascends to heaven at the lead of one man.
But if they lose, they would never have the chance to turn things around again and might as well wait for death.
And now, the side of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect is firmly holding an absolute advantage,
making those who chose to support the Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect start to panic.
…
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land, within the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resides.
At this moment, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family,
was quietly standing beside a huge map.
Lu Jun, the current Family Head of the Lu Family, was standing behind Luo Ping at this time.
The map had already been replaced with the whole map of the Da Feng Dynasty.
Although the details were much less refined compared to the map inside Luo Mountain Prefecture,
it was still not completely unreadable.
“Without foreign powers intervening, the three major families in Changping Prefecture fought endlessly among themselves.”
“Ever since my Luo Family mobilized half a million armored elites, pushing continuously towards Changping Prefecture,”
“the three major families within the prefecture had thus formed an alliance of the three families.”
“Now, half a million armored elites are up against the forces of the three major families, a million-strong armored army.”
“Family Head Lu, what do you think we should do next?”
Staring at the map in front of him,
after a long silence, Luo Ping suddenly asked Lu Jun in a low voice beside him.
“Half a million against a million, we are at a numerical disadvantage,”
“but if we really come to blows, let’s not mention that Changping Prefecture has a million-strong army, even if it were two or three million,”
“taking down Changping Prefecture, I suppose, wouldn’t be an issue.”
“It’s just that the losses for our troops, I expect, would be somewhat large…”
In the room, Lu Jun spoke in a calm and quiet voice.
Hearing these words, Luo Ping was silent for a moment before asking, “With the deterrence of the Luo Family, the three major families of Changping Prefecture joined forces. Family Head Lu, what do you think we should do to capture Changping Prefecture with the least losses?”
At this, Lu Jun couldn’t help but lower his head slightly, pondering the answer to the question in his heart.
“If we could persuade one of the three major families to switch sides,”
“we could easily capture the land of the six counties of Changping Prefecture with minimal losses.”
“Persuade to switch sides?” Luo Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked, “How do we persuade them to switch sides?”
Lu Jun smiled slightly, extending his hand to point to Lingfeng County, one of the six counties of Changping Prefecture.
Then, he said in a low voice, “Bai Family Ancestral Land, one of the three major families’ powers in Changping Prefecture, is located in this Lingfeng County. Based on my understanding of the current Family Head of Bai Family in Fufeng County, this person has a stable character, prioritizes the continuation of the family, and will not act rashly because of some matters.”
“If we select the Bai Family Patriarch as the target to persuade…
“I think that would be a good choice.”
Luo Ping’s brow furrowed with confusion and he asked, “Setting our sights on the Bai Family Patriarch to persuade, can it really be successful?”
Lu Jun replied in a low voice, “The Bai Family Patriarch values the continuation of his family above all. Now that Changping Prefecture has temporarily halted the Luo Family Army’s advance, but this is only temporary. As long as the Bai Family Patriarch still wishes for the Bai Family to continue, they will agree…”
With this, Luo Ping silently nodded,
signaling his approval of the strategy.
“If that’s the case, then send someone to Lingfeng County, to the Bai Family Ancestral Land, as soon as possible…”
…
The next day, early morning.
