Chapter 265: Chapter 140: Turning the Bai Family Has Succeeded! Next Step, Attack Changping Prefecture!_1
Changping Prefecture, Lingfeng County, Bai Family Ancestral Land.
After a lengthy conversation with the Bai Family Patriarch Bai Gangyi.
Luo Dong silently left the Bai Family Ancestral Land.
At this time, within the Bai Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Bai Family Patriarch was.
Only the Bai Family Patriarch Bai Yigang and an elder of the Bai Family who had not long entered the Intermediate Stage of Viscera Refinement were left.
“Elder, what do you think of my decision?”
From his seat of honor, Bai Yigang silently gazed in the direction where Luo Dong, the Luo Family steward, had departed.
With a calm expression, he quietly asked the Bai Family elder seated beside him.
“Luo Mountain Prefecture, Luo Family…”
“Perhaps the world has somewhat underestimated the terrifying extent of the Luo Family.”
“Just a steward, yet his cultivation has already reached the pinnacle of the Intermediate Stage of Viscera Refinement.”
“Only a step away from the Late Stage of Viscera Refinement.”
“Seeing just a part to understand the whole, from this one can see…”
“just how terrifying the strength of the Luo Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture truly is.”
“To contend against them would indeed be a foolish choice.”
Having said that, the somewhat stooped figure of the Bai Family elder slowly vanished within the room.
“Seeing just a part to understand the whole, huh?”
Bai Yigang murmured softly to himself before he involuntarily chuckled and nodded.
The elder was right.
If even the Luo Family’s steward was this terrifying,
what would the comprehensive strength of the Luo Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture be?
After all, no matter how powerful the Luo Family was,
it was not an opponent his Bai Family could contend against.
“Chen Family, Huang Family.”
“It’s really not that my Bai Family wants to stab you in the back.”
“The main thing is, if I don’t plunge this dagger down…”
“my vast Bai Family will end up being buried with you right here in Changping Prefecture!!!”
…
Following the return of steward Luo Dong to the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
after the plan to win over the Bai Family succeeded,
the next phase of the plan could also continue.
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was.
At this moment, Luo Ping was sitting quietly on the main seat, carefully reading a document in his hand.
Luo Dong, dressed in the exclusive robe of a steward,
walked in silently at this time.
Sensing the footsteps, Luo Ping laid down the document in his hand and silently raised his head.
Lu Jun, the Family Head of the Lu Family, seated in another corner of the room,
also couldn’t help but slightly raise his head.
Looking towards the direction where Luo Dong, the old steward of the Luo Family, was.
“How did it go?”
Luo Ping looked at Luo Dong standing before him, and after a moment of silence, he asked softly.
“Patriarch, I have not failed my mission…”
Luo Dong bowed slightly and said calmly.
“Is it done?”
Luo Ping silently nodded and then waved his hand,
signaling that Luo Dong could leave now.
…
After Luo Dong left the room,
only Luo Ping and Lu Jun remained.
“Winning over the Bai Family is done.”
“Next… it’s time to take over the entirety of Changping Prefecture.”
Luo Ping looked at Lu Jun before him and said in a low voice.
Lu Jun then chuckled softly and said, “Indeed, after winning over the Bai Family, it is the perfect opportunity to take Changping Prefecture, but we must act quickly during this period.”
Luo Ping’s brows furrowed slightly as he responded, “You mean, you’re afraid someone will beat us to it?”
Lu Jun silently nodded and spoke softly, “Nowadays, the state of affairs within the Da Feng Dynasty is gradually coming to light, and any matter will spread across all thirteen prefectures of the Da Feng Dynasty in a short time.”
“Therefore, if we want to seize Changping Prefecture,
“we must act quickly.”
“Otherwise, there will undoubtedly be those who snatch it from the jaws of death…”
Hearing this, Luo Ping couldn’t help but lower his head, falling silent.
There was some truth to what Lu Jun said.
The situation within the Da Feng Dynasty was becoming clearer now.
After the demise of some smaller family clans, if one wished to continue expanding and strengthening oneself, it would be necessary to attack by county or prefecture.
Changping Prefecture only possessed six counties.
In terms of size among the thirteen prefectures of the Da Feng Dynasty, it ranked near the bottom.
However, Changping Prefecture was still Changping Prefecture.
The word following Changping Prefecture was ‘prefecture,’ not ‘county.’
Thus, the fall of a prefecture of this scale
would always attract the attention of countless people.
If we act swiftly, swallowing Changping Prefecture before the other powers even react,
there wouldn’t be any unexpected occurrences.
However, if we can’t completely take Changping Prefecture in a short time,
what would happen next
is beyond anyone’s knowledge.
…
The Da Feng Dynasty has a total of thirteen prefectures.
The area is neither particularly large nor small.
Apart from the Luo Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture having set their sights on Changping Prefecture,
another force had also quietly turned their attention towards Changping Prefecture, which had just six counties.
Chenguan Prefecture City, Miao Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Miao Family Patriarch was.
At this moment, Miao Xingjian, the current patriarch of the Miao Family, was silently standing before a large map.
The map showed the lands of the thirteen prefectures of the Da Feng Dynasty.
The Miao Family Ancestral Land was located in the Chenguan Prefecture, situated towards the northern part of the Da Feng Dynasty.
Adjacent to it were four prefectures.
Two of them had weaker strength, and two were stronger.
The two stronger prefectures,
the Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture naturally would not touch lightly.
But the two weaker prefectures, namely the six-county Changping Prefecture and the seven-county Changli Prefecture,
