The little eagle replied disapprovingly: "Otherwise?
Do you have a better way?"
The corner of Li Cheng's mouth twitched, "That's not true, just follow your plan."
The little eagle hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I don't have a plan. I'm just afraid that you will be too impulsive and suffer a loss."
Li Cheng was stunned, "Then you still dare to surrender?"
The little eagle smiled bitterly and said, "What else?
If you don't surrender, you will be beaten. Do I want to watch you fight them for me?"
Li Cheng rolled his eyes at Little Eagle, "With just four guards, why do I need to fight so hard?"
The little eagle explained: "But if you fight, you will also attract other people.
When there are more people, we can't even run away.
The two of them were sitting on the ground with their backs against the big tree. As long as they moved slightly, the iron chains on their wrists would rattle.
.
The other end of the iron chain was tied to a big tree.
Not far away, four guards were discussing how to deal with Li Cheng and Little Eagle.
It was also unlucky for Li Cheng and Little Eagle. When they were escaping, they accidentally fell into a hunting trap.
Because the little eagle was poisoned and did not dare to use its internal strength, it was caught in a trap by four low-level guards.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, both of them used the invisibility technique.
The four guards thought that the two of them were just in the Qi refining period, so they didn't think much about it and locked them up with big iron chains.
The treasure bag was also taken away and divided among them. Fortunately, these four people did not know the Qiankun Ring, so many things were preserved.
These four guards are brothers and have a very good relationship. They usually patrol together, and after they are off duty, they often go out drinking together.
Among the four, Xu Dahai is the eldest brother, Zhang Wenshan is the second eldest brother, Li Lin is the third eldest brother, and Yu Hongchang is the fourth eldest brother.
At first, the four guards planned to exchange Li Cheng and Xiao Ying for the bounty.
But Xu Wenhai, the eldest brother among the four, felt that it was not the right time and could wait.
Because at the beginning, Liu Yongtai concluded that Gu Yuan had an accomplice.
He repeatedly raised the reward and asked everyone to search for Gu Yuan's accomplices all over the mountains and plains.
The reward increased from the initial one thousand taels of silver to one hundred thousand taels.
Amid the expectations of the four guards, the reward was stopped when it reached one hundred thousand taels of silver.
The most important reason for this is that Liu Yongtai died.
Liu Yongtai is dead, and no one will pay the reward he promised.
From one hundred thousand taels of silver to the end of the reward, the moods of the four guards were like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs.
Ordinarily, if the four of them hand over Li Cheng and Little Eagle now, they will most likely receive a reward.
But compared with one hundred thousand taels of silver, this loss is too great.
The four guards were very unwilling.
Right now, the four of them were discussing, and from time to time they would turn to look at Li Cheng and Little Eagle.
…
"What a bastard!"
At Liu Qingmu's house, the door to the retreat room of the Elder Hall was kicked open.
An old man with white hair and beard rushed out of the retreat room and grabbed the inner deacon who was reporting in front of the door."
"You just said that in just half a day, the second, third, and fourth elders all died.
"Most of the inner deacons are dead, the outer deacon hall and the entire escort team have been maimed, how many people are left in the entire shrine?"
"Great Elder, calm down! It's all Liu Qingmu's fault. I don't know how he provoked such a evil star."
"The people Liu Qingmu sent to hunt down have been completely wiped out and are being killed repeatedly. Now he is heading towards..."
"Don't worry about where this person is now!"
The elder felt that a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, so he suppressed the urge to vomit blood.
After taking a few deep breaths to recover from his rage, he interrupted the deacon:
"Now, our focus is not to continue to send people to retaliate against this wild boy who doesn't know where he came from.
But, how to restore the family’s strength as soon as possible!”
The words of the great elder set the tone for the family's subsequent actions.
The situation instantly calmed down from a panicked state.
The anxious deacons also calmed down and listened to the great elder's arrangements.
The great elder, who seemed calm on the surface but was already in a turmoil in his heart, slowly felt a little relieved when he saw that these people in front of him were barely useful.
But he really understands better than everyone present how critical the situation the family is facing now is.
When these people saw him standing up, they thought that there was room for relaxation, and that he, the tall one, would be the one to hold up the sky if it fell.
But if the sky really collapses now, where will the Great Elder find people to support the falling sky?
"Now that the head of the family and the chief priest are not in the family, the family is facing such a situation and must send a reliable person to inform them."
"Deacon Li, it's up to you to handle this matter!"
"yes!"
Even though his thoughts were chaotic inside, he still suppressed it and made some preparations and processing.
"Now the news is strictly blocked, and what happens in the family territory cannot be expanded to the outside world."
"All family members who died will be compensated according to the highest standard, no, three times the pension. Jin Jin regretted it but requested that the funeral be kept secret."
"yes!"
"Contact all available foreign aid. We need their strength and support when necessary."
"yes!"
As he issued orders one by one, the deacons around him followed the orders one by one, and the remaining forces of the entire family quickly began to move.
After issuing multiple orders in succession, the great elder held his hands on the wall and closed his eyes.
He was quietly recovering from the impact of the messy news on him.
Originally, he left seclusion because he broke through the realm in seclusion.
This is also a great good thing for the entire Liu family.
But.
The first news he heard after breaking out of the barrier was that the entire family was facing an imminent crisis!
"Great Elder, don't get angry, drink tea first to moisten your throat."
The old servant who had grown up with him felt distressed when he saw him closing his eyes and thinking deeply and handed him his special tea cup.
The elder had no intention of drinking tea. He looked at the deacons who continued to wait beside him and looked like they were waiting to be dispatched. He felt very tired.
Because there is no one around him who can discuss countermeasures with him.
He waved his hand and asked the group of deacons on standby to go down.
When only an old servant carrying a tea cup was left around.
The great elder suddenly sat slumped in his chair, as if his whole body had been drained of energy.
It was clear that he had just achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, but his fierce energy disappeared in an instant.
"Great Elder, what's wrong with you?
Isn’t everything already arranged?”
The servant really cared about him and stepped forward to comfort him.
"It's not that easy. All we have to do now is to check and fill in the gaps, and we can achieve the effect of doing our best and obeying fate."
The great elder looked helpless and let out a long sigh.
At this time, he looked as if he had aged several dozen years.
