But in the old man's eyes, there was no surprise at all at seeing his son whom he had not seen for many years. Instead, there was a bit more arrogance.
"Hmph! No wonder they are so persuasive. It turns out that you, a little beast, are unwilling to cause trouble on purpose."
His cloudy eyes, full of calculations, now seemed shrewd enough to see through everything.
It seemed as if the general of the Shaoxuan Army standing in front of him had completely changed, and he was no longer the same as before. He was still the young man who shrank and looked forward to him.
He put down the sword in his hand and looked at his eldest son calmly.
"I didn't have to worry about you deliberately running away from home, but now you must kneel down and apologize to me and your mother."
The mother he spoke of was the stepmother who almost forced his eldest son to death.
Little did he know that as soon as he finished speaking, he received a group of people's surprised and uncertain looks.
Isn't it? Is this old man crazy?
The young man's eyes were dark. After many years, he returned to the place where he had been trapped for almost his whole life, but he felt that both the courtyard walls and the houses seemed so low.
Now, he can easily knock down everything here.
But at that time, it became a prison that could not be broken out.
And the father who once dominated his life was just a cowardly and incompetent old man at this moment.
He can kill himself without even needing to take action.
The young man watched in silence for a moment before finally speaking.
"The general has an order. If you insist on not following it, let him die on his own and leave."
His voice was cold, in stark contrast to the yelling old man over there.
The small team of men also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the order.
Fortunately, I no longer have to deal with this kind of unreasonable behavior.
Seeing his eldest son leaving here, the old man was dumbfounded.
The next moment, he was furious, but there was a faint feeling of panic in his heart.
"Stop! Did you hear me when I told you to stop? I told you to stop. You dare to disobey me? You—"
A sharpened bamboo pole flew in the air, and the old man stopped subconsciously, only to see that the bamboo pole could actually be buried three-thirds of the way into the soil!
This is for his life!
At that moment, he felt the fear of death and the anger of being disobeyed by his son.
"You little beast! If you dare to leave here again, I will throw your mother's tablet out!"
Finally, the young man stopped.
The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but felt a twisted sense of joy in his heart.
As a father, he certainly knows how to handle his son.
Even if he no longer wants this son, he will never let him go, but will squeeze out the last drop of his blood.
"My mother, I have wanted to leave you for a long time."
The young man turned around and looked at the man who was no longer threatening with a mocking look on his face.
"How long has it been since you saw my mother's tablet?"
Perhaps the eldest son's eyes were too straightforward, which made the old man uncomfortable. He was about to say something, but then his expression suddenly changed.
Pushing aside the people blocking the door, he went straight to the small ancestral hall in the backyard.
He remembered that the memorial tablet of his wife who died early was in the corner of the small ancestral hall.
Since that scoundrel valued this tablet so much, he would take it out so that the scoundrel could only use it for himself.
He rushed in hurriedly, and not long after, his expression changed drastically and he rushed out.
But the eldest son and the group had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Where is the tablet? Where is the tablet of the eldest lady? Let me ask you, where is the tablet of the lady?"
He was like a lost dog, panicking and yelling incompetently, questioning everyone. But the people around him dodge their eyes, which looked like a guilty conscience in the man's eyes. Just when he wanted to continue to scold others, the man from him
The old housekeeper who had been serving him since he was young suddenly said tremblingly:
One sentence.
"Sir, didn't you order the eldest lady's tablet to be thrown out a few years ago?"
The old butler's words were like a thunderbolt that made the old man's eyesight darken.
Now he suddenly recalled that Xin Na's beautiful concubine complained of chest pain every night and said she saw many ghosts.
At that time, he felt that the dead woman must have defeated him, so he ordered her tablet to be thrown out.
Unexpectedly, what he threw away was his only amulet.
"Son! My son! It was your father's fault. He shouldn't have treated you like that! Son, come back and see your father again!"
The man ran towards the direction where his son disappeared, but except for the bamboo pole left on the ground, there was no other trace. But other people in the family were not as sad as him, especially the children born by his step-brother.
I'm still secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, their eldest brother didn't come back. Otherwise, wouldn't my father's property have to be taken out again?
One serving?
But they don't know that even if they have money, they still have to have this life to enjoy it.
After the young man left, the old man had cried enough and howled enough. After he was sure there was no way to recover, he immediately stood up and quickly gathered the people below to pack their things.
He is not a fool, and he also knows that the people above must have their reasons for giving the order.
But this group of people all have one thing in common, which is extreme greed.
They originally thought that if they cried and made a fuss, they might get some benefits, otherwise they would feel like they would be at a huge loss if they left with nothing.
Yes, from the perspective of these people, the reason why they were forced to move was not to protect their lives, but because the people above asked them to do so, so they had to be compensated.
Such people are not in the minority among those who make trouble.
Of course, both Le Zhengyue and Du Zhige have the same attitude towards this kind of person.
That is to say, I will never tolerate it and will not make such an opening.
If they want to leave, they can leave. If they don't, then they can stay here and guard their so-called family property.
For a time, the entire Ancient Clan was in a state of panic, and it also attracted the attention of spies who were lurking among the Ancient Clan and had not yet been found.
Some of them have already tried their best to spread the news.
But they didn't know that the ship docked in the bay was already surrounded by people.
Most of the messages they sent were intercepted, and a few of them were disguised before reaching the hands of those on the ship.
So even though the ancient clan was making a lot of noise, the people on the boat didn't know anything about it.
However, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu also knew that if there was no movement at all after people outside learned about this matter, it would obviously be a bit false.
Therefore, these latent spies were given an order, which was to wait and see what happened, find out what happened, and then find out where these people moved out.
On the surface, this command seems perfectly normal.
So most of the spies believed it. As for the few who had doubts, Lin Mengya was not afraid of them contacting the people on the ship to verify.
After all, their people are still waiting there. If they can catch a few little mice, it will be a surprise.
It was night, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu stood on a high place. Under their feet, countless torches snaked into long fiery snakes.
Both of them have very good eyesight, so they can see clearly what's going on below.
This is the first batch of ancient people to move out.
Due to their physical constitution, the location they chose was not far from here, and Lin Mengya also prepared some medicine for them that could offset the impact.
As long as these people take it on time, their physical condition will not worsen.
In fact, the reason why all the tribesmen are gathered together is to facilitate management, so as to prevent them from being affected if a fight breaks out.
Another thing is that the ancient tribes were too scattered before.
Especially for some small families, no one would know even if they disappeared quietly, but this would not be a good situation for the ancient clan.
Not long after, the two of them heard the footsteps coming from behind, turned their heads, and saw Le Zhengyue with a worried look on his face.
Lin Mengya knew that he couldn't be in a good mood these past few days, and no one would feel better seeing their happy home parted like this.
But she wasn't very good at comforting others. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, the other person might become even more depressed, so she just nodded to the other person.
"Master Gong, I haven't thanked you for the medicine you prepared for my people."
Lin Mengya waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I gave you the money, so there is no need to thank me specifically."
Le Zhengyue was speechless for a while. After a long time, he said with a wry smile: "That's right, I think too much."
Originally there were other possibilities between them and the Gong family, but they had already been ruined by those people.
As a member of the ancient clan, especially the current leader, even if he does not want to admit the mistakes committed by his fellow clan members, it is still his fault.
Even if he wants to get back together with the Gong family now, it is impossible. After all, they have no shortage of friends like them.
In recent days, he also sneaked out and saw the coalition forces outside.
In fact, it is very easy to tell who has a good relationship with the Gong family.
Those with the largest number of people, sufficient food and grass, and sharp weapons, no need to ask, they knew that they must be the families who have good relations with the Gong family.
In fact, before this, he had some confidence in himself, but later when he saw it with his own eyes, he knew how ridiculous his confidence was.
He considers himself to be no worse than anyone else, but in fact, no matter how strong he is, he cannot lead the entire ancient clan.
The same is true for the Gong family. The head of the Gong family is indeed powerful, but the other members of the Gong family are also of the same mind.
Such a family may be temporarily lonely, but there will still be a chance to make a comeback.
On the other hand, the ancient tribe is still quarreling over petty gains to this day.
If his methods were not strong enough and if he did not have military power, these people might not have any results until next year. But the ancient tribe can no longer afford such a delay.
