Dusk fell, Li family.
"Patriarch, Patriarch, bad news!"
A voice startled the Li family's patriarch, Li Mingtai.
" Why are you panicking?!"
Li Mingtai walked out of the bedroom impatiently.
"It's, it's the elder…he, he's dead!”A clansman reported in fear.
" What?!" Li Mingtai quickly walked out and pushed the crowd aside.
A stretcher in the middle was covered with a piece of white cloth.
It was his Li family's guest elder, a Connate realm!
"What? Isn't he at the county office…Oh no!”
Seeing this scene, Li Mingtai couldn't help but think,
Thud!
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the face of the young county magistrate.
He also thought of the scene he had sent someone to 'see' before.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"Quickly send someone to the Yang family and the Xu family!”Li Mingtai roared.
The clansmen panicked.
The death of a Connate realm expert was not a small matter. There was a commotion.
Coincidentally, the Yang Family also sent a letter.
The matter seemed to be extremely urgent. The Patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Cheng, had actually come personally.
Both sides exchanged messages.
The hearts of the two family heads sank to the bottom.
"The guest masters of the Li and Yang families are dead.”
"Only the Xu Clan's Honored Guest didn't die and even brought back three chests of gold and silver?”
"A servant said that he saw Wang Long, the County Lord's right-hand man, personally deliver something. It seems that they have reached some kind of agreement.”
Li Mingtai's face was extremely gloomy.
"Brother Yang, did Xu Zheng reply to you?”
"Yes, he said that we fell into that young county magistrate's trap! His guest master has also been crippled!"
"But he hasn't come personally yet!”Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and said," We only sent a letter. Besides, only his people are alive. All of us are dead!”
"Even if this old bastard isn't standing with the County Lord, I'm afraid he isn't that determined!”
"This little bastard actually dares to be so bold! How dare you attack us!"
"Wake up all the clansmen immediately and be on guard!”"Brother Yang, the people you brought will also assist in the defense and strengthen the patrols."”
"Other than the people from our two families, if anyone else appears, kill them without mercy! Especially the Xu family!" Li Mingtai shouted.
"This is the only way for now.”Yang Cheng nodded and worriedly instructed his clansmen.
As aristocratic families and clans, they understood each other better and posed a greater threat!
…………
Xu family, Xu manor.
Xu Zheng was looking at the three boxes of gold and silver and the deposed guest.
" Clan Leader, that Zhao Xing is up to no good. He's up to no good…" The Honored Guest looked at the Clan Leader weakly.
"What a vicious scheme." Xu Zheng was usually deep in thought and thought a lot.
With a glance, he understood everything.
"Patriarch, please go to the Li and Yang families quickly and explain the situation!”Someone suggested.
"It's too late." Xu Zheng shook his head and laughed bitterly.
"That County Lord, at this critical moment, launched this attack. I'm afraid he's already prepared and has people lying in ambush at the Li and Yang families.”
"If I bring people over now, not only will I not be trusted, but it will also cause misunderstandings!”
"The three clans are already on guard and aren't united.”
"That young County Lord used an open scheme to cause me and the other two families to lose all trust!”
The two guest masters were dead, and only the Xu family was alive.
Moreover, the three boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry would all belong to the Xu family.
How could he explain it?
No matter what, the Li and Yang families would not believe it, at least not completely.
Even in the past, the head of the Xu family couldn't explain it.
After all, who could guarantee that he was telling the truth?
Even if the Xu family said that he did not change his stance and did not reach an agreement with the county magistrate, he would not be able to do so.
The Li and Yang families…
Do you dare to believe it?
"What a good plan, what a good method!"
"A cunning scheme broke the alliance of our three families!”
"This young County Lord is really good!”Despair flashed in Xu Zheng's eyes.
"Moreover, he even set the time at this time, the day before the birthday banquet.”
"The three of us don't have much time to verify each other's identity…"
"Patriarch, what should we do now?”An elder asked.
"Forget it, for now, we can only wait for the results.”Xu Zheng sighed.
"Let's see who will win between the County Lord and the Li and Yang families.”
"If the Li and Yang Families win, then everything will be fine.”
"What if the County Lord wins?" someone asked.
" Then we have to plan ahead," Xu Zheng said worriedly." I hope that the County Lord will let the Xu Clan live since we haven't made a move yet…"
For some reason, Xu Zheng had a feeling that the final victor would be the young County Lord!
After today, there would be a reshuffle!
"Patriarch, listen. What's that sound?”
A voice pulled Xu Zheng back from his thoughts.
He pricked up his ears and looked at the sky.
Dawn broke, and a ray of light appeared.
Far away.
The battle cries shook the sky!
