"Cuckoo..." The calls of various birds are heard from time to time in the mountain forest, making the quiet Samba village a little weird from time to time.
In this place where there is no electricity and the village relies entirely on candles and oil lamps to light up the village, the entire village is dark, except for the torches beside the guards on duty, which can barely illuminate the sky and the earth.
Elder Lei went to bed early because of his shoulder injury, but he was a little worried and couldn't sleep because the clan leader, Zhao Ling, had taken the two outsiders to the Gulongyuan Forbidden Land for a whole day, but he still hadn't come back yet.
Everything in the village was as usual, but he always felt that something was not right.
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere before, the air in the village tonight seemed a little solid.
"No, something's still wrong..." Elder Lei suddenly stood up from the bed, frowned and muttered to himself and got out of bed.
He lit the oil lamp in the house and looked at the village outside the window with his brows furrowed under the dim light.
At this time, most of the clansmen in the entire village had gone to sleep. Except for the rows of soldiers on duty at night passing by with torches, everything seemed to be extremely peaceful and nothing unusual at all.
"Why...do you always feel uneasy?"
Elder Lei murmured in a low voice, and just when he turned around and wanted to fall asleep again, unexpectedly, two black figures suddenly appeared in the room! Just when Elder Lei looked sharply and wanted to scream, with the light of the oil lamp, he could see clearly
After seeing the person's face, he swallowed it back in his throat, and after a while he happily said, "Clan... clan leader?"
?”
Indeed, besides Zhao Ling, there was also Chu Nan who appeared in this stilted house.
"Reb!"
When Zhao Ling saw the injured Elder Lei, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Chief, why did you come back so quietly? It almost scared me."
Elder Lei said happily, "I thought some bad guy sneaked into my room. You, you, don't be so naughty next time."
Zhao Ling wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, sighed softly and said, "Uncle Lei, it's not that I wanted to sneak into the stronghold like this, there is really no other way.
You must calm down after hearing this. We were ambushed by the Bai Yao tribe in Gulongyuan. We suspect that Elder Pan may have rebelled and he wants to use the hands of the Bai Yao tribe to deal with me!"
The original smile on Elder Lei's face instantly solidified and became stiff, and half a minute later it was replaced by anger and murderous intent! "This, is this true?
Do you... have any evidence?"
Elder Lei squeezed the chair handle fiercely and gritted his teeth and said, "If Elder Pan really rebels, it will be a big blow to the Qingyao people.
Among the six elders, he is the eldest elder and the most authoritative person in the clan. Once he rebels, the consequences will be really unimaginable..." After hearing what Elder Lei said, Chu Nan immediately said, "Elder Pan basically
It is certain that he is a traitor. Although it will bring a lot of trouble to the Qingyao people, the situation is actually not as bad as Elder Lei said."
"oh?
Isn’t it bad that the biggest elder of our clan rebels?”
Elder Lei said helplessly, "You must know that in the past ten years, the patriarch has been under house arrest in the Baiyao clan. It is basically Elder Pan who exercises the power of the patriarch. If he wants to rebel, isn't that bad enough?"
Chu Nan smiled and said, "Elder Lei, think about it, it must have been more than a day or two since Elder Pan wanted to rebel, but why is he still planning a plan with the Bai Yao tribe to attack the Qing Yao tribe, instead of directly rebelling and helping
What about the Bai Yao people taking over the village?"
"This..." Elder Lei was indeed asked by Chu Nan. He was right. Elder Pan held a high position in the clan. Logically speaking, if he really rebelled, then if the Bai Yao clan really attacked, wouldn't he be able to capture him?
Why has it been delayed for so long?
"Lei Bo, Chu Nan is right, we are fans of the authorities!"
Zhao Ling spoke up, "What Elder Pan did was to betray the ancestors and the Qingyao clan, which is a shameful thing that makes all the clansmen despise him. No matter how powerful he is in the clan, the clansmen will listen to betrayal of the ancestors and the race."
His?
The reason why he hesitates to take action is not because he doesn’t want to, but because he is not sure!”
Hearing what Zhao Ling said, Elder Lei understood immediately.
It is true that Elder Pan of the Qingyao tribe is able to control the sky with one hand, but that is in normal times. Once he really rebels and becomes a sinner, will the tribesmen listen to his words and treat him as a traitor, or will they fight against him for the sake of their ancestors and the continuation of the race?
The answer is easy to know without even thinking about it.
What's more, in the Qingyao tribe, there is a system of six elders. Even if Elder Pan has great power, there are five other elders to check and balance him. Once his betrayal is exposed, the other five elders will not hesitate to command the tribe to fight against him, so his
The odds of winning are actually not high.
This is the reason and confidence that Chu Nan said that the current situation is not bad.
"Of course, although the situation is not very bad, eradicating Elder Pan is already a top priority."
Chu Nan said seriously, "If I'm not wrong, although Elder Pan is not sure that he has dared to betray others in recent years, he must have secretly won over a group of people within the Qingyao clan. So how much power does he really have at present?"
It’s hard to say, but it’s definitely not bad.
Otherwise, the Bai Yao tribe would not have started preparations to attack the Qing Yao tribe again just recently, ten years later."
Elder Lei took a deep look at Chu Nan and then said, "Then what should we do now?"
"There is a piece of rotten flesh on a person's body, what do you think we should do?"
Chu Nan said casually, "If you want to prevent the rotten meat from spreading, you must cut it off without hesitation! And in order to prevent this rotten meat from spreading, we must concentrate all our efforts to pursue and intercept it to prevent any uncontrollable
things happen."
"Lei Bo, Brother Chu Nan is right. We must summon all the trustworthy clan members to help us and attack Elder Pan's stilted building together and capture or kill him alive!"
Zhao Ling's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Only by eradicating Elder Pan will the Bai Yao tribe's good plans be completely in vain!"
"I think it would be best if we can capture him alive. We can catch all the traitors like Elder Pan in one fell swoop, but don't alert the enemy."
Chu Nan smiled and said, "If we can do this, maybe we can have a chance to lure the snake out of the hole and deal with the Bai Yao people severely! Only by beating this neighbor who has been eyeing him for so many years, can we start again.
Let the Qingyao people gain peace.
It’s even possible to regain the territory that was once lost to you!”
Elder Lei's eyes suddenly became hot. It was nothing to deal with Elder Pan. What really moved him was what Chu Nan said next.
If we can really inflict heavy losses on the Bai Yao people and allow the Qing Yao people to regain the territory lost by their ancestors, it will be a great honor for our ancestors! Such achievements are undoubtedly the most important to an old man like Elder Lei.
"Okay, I support your decision, tell me, how can I help?
Clan leader, you know that I, Lao Lei, am loyal to the Qingyao clan and you, no matter what, I will firmly support you, no matter what, go through fire or water!"
With Elder Lei's statement, both Chu Nan and Zhao Ling showed relaxed smiles.
Among the six elders, Elder Pan has rebelled, while Elder Lei is the most loyal and easiest to win over.
That's why they started lobbying from this elder.
"Leiber, please immediately gather all the warriors in your lineage. First, secretly monitor Elder Pan's territory, and then we can convince the other elders."
Zhao Ling said in a deep voice, "There is strength in numbers. As long as three of the five elders support me, the clan leader, in eradicating the traitors, we can basically take action!"
"Okay, no problem!"
Elder Lei patted his chest and said, "All descendants of the Lei family of the Qingyao tribe, please listen to the patriarch's orders! Chief, I suggest you first convince the three elders: Elder Feng, Elder Huang and Elder Bao. As for Elder Shen... he has dealings with Elder Pan's family. Closely, I suggest not to alert the enemy."
Zhao Ling and Chu Nan looked at each other with determination, then stood up to say goodbye!
