Chapter 89: The Song Family’s Response
Translator: 549690339
Dao Xuan recalled the Young Sovereign’s instructions and immediately looked at Chen Yang.
“Oh right, before this old master came, the young sect master had asked this old master to deliver a message to you. They said that the wolf had already fallen into the trap, so how could it fight to the death with the tiger?”
Hearing this, Chen Yang knew that Wang Shuo had already acted according to the plan. He immediately smiled and said,””Please pass this message to Young Sect Master for me. Tell him that the wolf is emitting hostility and that the tiger will definitely fight to the death with him.”
“As for hunters, they only need to buy weapons to accumulate strength. Also, don’t be stingy when buying weapons.”
Hmm, old Riddler.
Dao Xuan did not know what Chen Yang was saying, but as long as he transmitted the entire text over, Young Sect Master would naturally know what it meant.
With Dao Xuan overseeing the family, Chen Yang was more at ease to carry out his plan. He immediately sent out many spies to spread the news in Song City.
In Song City.
Third Brother frowned as he looked at his bowl of porridge, which was almost the same as water, and said indignantly,””Is this still porridge? Won’t you starve to death while eating?”
When the Song family servant who was in charge of distributing the porridge saw this, he slapped Third Brother Qi’s bowl over.” You’re just a beggar from another city. Why are you talking so much?”
“Didn’t you say that it was too little? Fine, 1 won’t even give you water to drink. If you dare to cause trouble again, 1’11 break your legs!”
“Next.”
Qi Laosan was so angry that he did not dare to say anything. He could only pick up the broken pieces of the bowl and lick the remaining rice grains.
The more he flattered Third Brother Qi, the angrier he got. Back then, they had agreed that as long as they came to Song City, not only would they be able to eat their fill, but they would also build a house for free.
Now, the house was a thatched hut, and the food was not even enough to fill his stomach, let alone fill his stomach.
Third Brother Qi was thinking about whether he should go somewhere to nibble on the tree bark, but the tree bark was almost gone, and the competition was a little intense.
Now, Third Brother Qi regretted coming here. Although there was no need to work here, there was no way he could fill his stomach.
Just as Third Brother Qi returned home in a daze, he suddenly heard the familiar name of a city.
“Have you heard? The Chen family in Chen City has discovered brown soil. Now, Chen City doesn’t lack food at all. As long as you are willing to work, you can receive a large amount of food.”
“Really? Why don’t I believe it?”
“Humph! It’s up to you to believe it or not. It’s said that more than a million people have already run to Chen City, but not a single person has come out.”
“In that case, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and go to Chen City. There’s endless food there!”
These words were naturally spread by the spies sent by Chen Yang in Song City.
As time passed, the consequences of this news would only get bigger and bigger, until all the people under the Song family ran away.
As soon as the news spread, many people fled to Chen City.
When Third Brother Qi heard this news, his mind suddenly became active. He did not expect that Chen Cheng did not lack food.
“I was originally from Chen City. Now that I’m back, not only do I not have to worry about food and drink, 1 can even have a house to live in.”
The more Third Brother thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Third Brother Qi made a decision and quickly ran home. He brought his family back to Chen City.
What happened to Third Brother Qi was just a small part of Song Cheng’s story.
Whether it was the people who had escaped from Chen City or the original people under the Song family, their thoughts were active and they fled to Chen City one after another.
It was true that not many people had escaped from the Song family’s influence. However, if this continued, all the people controlled by the Song family would escape sooner or later.
At that time, the Song family’s grade would definitely drop, or even drop to no grade.
Song family, in the meeting hall.
Master Song looked at First Elder with an unfriendly expression.” First Elder, you were the one who said that giving work as relief was a way to die. And we should provide relief for free to earn the people of Chen City.”
“But now? The number of people living in Chen City has already doubled, but my Song family has a large number of people fleeing.”
Facing the criticism of the family head, the great elder of the Song family could not say anything. After all, this plan was set by him, and now this plan was going to drag the Song family to death.
At this moment, the Second Elder of the Song Family came out to smooth things over.” Family Head, you can’t blame the First Elder for this. After all, who would have thought that the Chen Family would be so lucky to find the legendary brown soil?”
“The plan now is to get the brown soil. Only then will we have food to stabilize the people under our forces.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Patriarch, as long as we can get the brown soil, won’t this matter be resolved?”The Second Elder’s words completely woke the First Elder up.
“That’s easy for you to say. How are we going to find the brown soil? Attack the Chen family? Have you ever thought about Chen Yang’s master, the number one Zifu Disciple, the De Shun Commandery Prince?”
Master Song was convinced. Why did his group of elders always come up with bad ideas?
“Patriarch, we can buy.”
The Second Elder’s eyes flashed.” The Song Clan isn’t the one lacking food this time. The entire Jiang Prefecture is lacking food.”
“The grain in the trading firm is not only expensive, but there’s not much. The entire Jiang Prefecture’s aristocratic families are in a predicament of food shortage.”
“If we join forces and pressure the Chen family to buy the brown soil, even if it’s at a premium, as long as we can get the brown soil, we’ll be considered successful.”
“Based on the actual price of the brown soil, we didn’t mistreat the Chen Family. The Deshun Commandery Prince couldn’t say anything.”
“After all, we are doing this for the people of Jiang Prefecture. No matter what, these commoners belonged to the royal family of Da Qian in name.”
“Even if the Deshun Commandery Prince disregards the royal family’s reputation and forcefully stops us, we can still settle for the second-best option and directly purchase the grain.”
“In this case, the Deshun Commandery Prince can’t possibly stop it.”
The Second Elder’s words completely extinguished the Song Family Head’s anger.” Excellent!” Master Song smiled.” This will definitely stabilize the Song Family’s current situation.””
“Hahaha, Second Elder is really the brains of our Song family.”
“First Elder, Second Elder, I’ll leave this matter to you. It must be settled within a month.”
“We accept your orders!” Immediately, the two elders stood up and left, acting according to the plan.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
In this month, most of the people who had escaped from Song City had successfully arrived in Chen City.
One of them was Old Third Qi, who had escaped from Chen City and returned.
Third Brother Qi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Chen City close at hand. He then planned to enter Chen City.
After Old Third Qi gave his name to the guards of Chen City, he pretended to enter Chen City. At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city stopped him.
“Stop, the Chen family has a rule that anyone who abandoned Chen City in times of danger cannot enter Chen City.”
“What did you say?” Qi Lao San was stunned. After all the hardships he had gone through, he had finally arrived at Chen Cheng, but he was told that he could not enter..
