Chapter 95: Ancestor Song’s Decision
Translator: 549690339
In the Deshun Commandery Prince’s Mansion, the Deshun Commandery Prince looked at Zhou Yingzhao, who was swaying in front of him, and was furious.
“Alright, alright. I just earned some spirit stones with Yang ‘er. Do you have to show off to your grandfather?”
“Earned some spirit stones?” Zhou Ying Zhao counted with his fingers,” I’ve calculated. The annual income of the Chen Family’s grain is estimated to be around 60,000 spirit stones. If we take 30% of it, that’s about 20,000 spirit stones.”
“Grandpa, is twenty thousand spirit stones a year a small amount?”
“Stop talking. My chest hurts.”
The Deshun Commandery Prince was extremely regretful now. Why didn’t he agree to Chen Yang’s offer of half of the spirit stones?
Forget it, if your grandson takes it, I’ll take it. It’s the same.
Immediately, the Deshun Commandery Prince smiled and looked at Zhou Yingzhao.” Zhao ‘er, Yang’ er gave our Deshun Commandery Prince 30% of the profits, so we have to make our own contribution.”
“This is a piece of juicy meat. There are definitely many factions that have their eyes on it. We must stop them outside Jiang Prefecture.”
“Understood.”
Zhou Yingzhao subconsciously agreed. However, after thinking about it carefully, what could he do? Shouldn’t his grandfather be the one to do it?
Wait a minute!
What did he mean by offering it to the Deshun Prince’s Mansion? It was clearly for me!
Zhou Yingzhao immediately wanted to retort, but when he saw the De Shun Commandery Prince caressing a rod that was a grade seven spirit weapon, Zhou Yingzhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Then, Zhou Yingzhao said obediently,” That’s right. Little Uncle-Master has given such a huge profit to the Deshun Prince’s mansion. We must help Little Uncle-Master block the pressure from the outside world no matter what.””
Seeing how his grandson was so righteous, the Duke Prince of De Shun nodded his head in satisfaction.” Not bad. You’re much stronger than your father.”
Seeing this, Zhou Yingzhao smiled.
Of course, I’m definitely stronger than my father. After all, my father doesn’t give you more than 20,000 spirit stones every year!!!
Half a month later.
Song Cheng, Song Family’s Council Chamber.
After returning from Yi City, Master Song was furious. However, no matter how angry he was, he still had to solve the problem that needed to be solved.
Immediately, Master Song gathered the elders in the meeting hall and began to discuss the next plan.
“Everyone, you all know what happened in Yi City. I don’t want to talk about anything else now. 1 just want to ask everyone a question.”
Master Song looked at the surrounding elders with a gloomy expression and asked in a hoarse voice.
The elders looked at each other and finally focused on the First Elder.
When the First Elder saw this, he said,” We can only attack the granaries of other families.”
“Attack the granary?”
Master Song was so angry that he laughed.” First Elder, is there something wrong with your brain?” They have no reason to destroy our Song family, and you’re giving them an excuse yourself?”
“Right now, our Song family is a piece of fat meat. The difference is whether the Chen family eats it alone or they eat it together.”
“Originally, they gave the Chen family face and gave this piece of fat meat to the Chen family. “The Chen family’s strength is still not enough. Our Song family can still keep this piece of fat meat for a while.”
“Isn’t giving them the excuse now exactly what they want?”
Master Song shook his head with a bitter smile. This matter was really ironic. Because of the Chen family, their Song family could live for a while longer.
When the First Elder saw this, he sat down awkwardly.
The Second Elder stood up and said,” For now, let’s go to the trading company to buy food. At the very least, we can stabilize the current situation. We’ll have time to think of a way.””
The Second Elder’s words struck a chord in the Song Clan’s heart. The Song Clan’s biggest problem now was that they did not have enough food. They could not compete with the Chen Clan for the people under their Song Clan.
However, before the Song family head could say anything, the Song family’s third elder shook his head.” I’m afraid that the trading company doesn’t have any more food to sell to us.”
“What did you say? The trading company has no more food?”Master Song suddenly stood up, and the aura of the seventh level of Pulse Unsealing instantly swept through the entire meeting hall.
Under this pressure, Third Elder said intermittently,””Go back… Master, because of the Chen family…Because of the grain, these merchants did not plan to transport the grain over if they could not find any benefits.”
“The remaining food was bought by the various aristocratic families five days ago.”
“Then why didn’t you buy it?”
“Patriarch, you didn’t say anything, so we didn’t dare to act arbitrarily.”
Third Elder’s words almost angered Master Song to death.’Listen to me. Why haven’t 1 seen you guys so obedient usually?’
But now that things had come to this, it was useless to say anything else.
Immediately, Master Song collapsed on the chair.” Then what do you think we should do?”
“The only thing we can do now is to fight!”
“Fight it out? Take what to fight for. Ancestor?” Master Song smiled disdainfully. Just as he was about to retort, he suddenly realized that this voice belonged to the ancestor.
The Song Clan Head immediately stood up and looked over. He saw his clan’s Core Formation Patriarch slowly entering the meeting hall.
“Greetings, Patriarch!”
“Alright, alright.” The Song Family’s ancestor came to Patriarch Song and patted him on the shoulder.” We can only risk it now.””
“I snuck into the Chen family alone and stole their brown soil.”
“Stealing the brown soil? This is too dangerous. The Chen family will definitely use this opportunity to unite with the other aristocratic families to destroy our Song family.”Master Song retorted.
The Song Clan’s ancestor smiled warmly.” Clan Leader, why do you think those aristocratic families betrayed us and made a deal with the Chen Clan?”
Master Song thought for a moment and then said,””Deshun Commandery Prince has given them a certain amount of pressure. More importantly, the Chen Family has food that can save their lives.”
Old Ancestor Song nodded his head.” That’s right. It’s precisely because they can survive that they are afraid of the Deshun Prince. But if they can’t even survive, why should they be afraid of the Deshun Prince?””
“After 1 steal the brown soil, the Chen family will not be able to extend their lives.
“When the time comes, our Song family will hide the brown soil first. Then, we’ll make them swear to the heavens and earth that they’ll always stand on the Song family’s side. Then, we’ll give them the brown soil.”
“At that time, even the Deshun Commandery Prince won’t be able to do anything to our Song Clan unless he wants to destroy the entire Jiang Prefecture’s aristocratic families.”
“But is it possible? He also has many enemies.”
“I reckon that at most, he will use my life to vent his anger.”
Master Song carefully thought about the ancestor’s plan and realized that this was indeed the best solution for the Song family at the moment.
Only by cutting off the Chen family’s foundation to extend the lives of the other aristocratic families could the Song family have a chance to turn the tables.
“But if that’s the case, ancestor, your life…” Master Master Song was a little reluctant.
“My life is nothing if I can report this to the Song Clan. Besides, our Song Clan still has a Core Formation Patriarch serving on the battlefield.”
“If he doesn’t fall, our Song family can still maintain the honor of
Rank-8.”Ancestor Song said casually.
Hearing Ancestor Song’s words, Patriarch Song made up his mind.” Alright, let’s do as Ancestor says.”
“In addition, the next head of the Song family will be chosen from the descendants of the ancestor.”
“In that case, thank you, Patriarch.”
Patriarch Song took a step forward and disappeared in a few steps..
