In the meeting hall.
The atmosphere was dull.
Tang Zhuangqi, who was sitting in the first seat, looked very unhappy.
During this period of time, the Tang family and the Zhang family have been trying to win over the city lord's palace.
Who would have known that the City Lord's Mansion would suddenly ask for 30% of the Tang Family's property income!
And this 30% is not this year, but every year in the future!
This almost hit the main artery of their Tang family!
"Shen Ruihe, this shameless guy!"
Tang Yanrong, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, slapped his hand on the table:
"He wants 30% of our Tang family's property. Why doesn't he eat shit?!"
The second elder on the side sighed and said:
"Now that things have come to this, there is no point in scolding that guy... Head of the family, what we should do is entirely up to you."
indeed.
It's useless to say anything now.
Either leave all the property here and escape from Yinjian City.
Either they have to fight to the death with the Zhang family and the City Lord's Mansion, but in that case, the Tang family will definitely annihilate the entire army, and the property will still not be saved.
Tang Zhuangqi sighed deeply.
Finally, he made up his mind and said in a serious tone:
"Starting from tomorrow, the elders will be prepared to secretly transfer all the young people in the clan, as well as some of the transferable property."
"As for me, I want to stay."
Tang Zhuangqi said calmly:
"I was feeling aggrieved for a while before, but now I don't want to be aggrieved anymore."
"They want to steal it, but I can't just give it to them. At the very least, I have to make them lose a few teeth!"
"If you want to join me in risking your life with them, then just raise your hands."
"If you don't want to, I won't force you."
Tang Yanrong and others looked at each other and smiled casually.
"Hahaha, if the master wants to risk his life with them, how can we leave the master alone?"
"Anyway, I've had enough of this old bone. I'm afraid there's no hope of a breakthrough in my lifetime. So why not fight them for a while? Maybe there will be a turn for the better?"
All the senior officials of the Tang family did not flinch.
They knew that no matter whether they fought or retreated, the Tang family would inevitably die.
It's better to fight with the opponent and maybe break some of the opponent's teeth!
None of them noticed that Tang Wanyuan was listening secretly outside the meeting hall, with tears already filling his eyes.
However, he didn't know how to help the Tang family at all, so he subconsciously went to Tang Yuan'er to talk about these things.
Although he is the eldest brother, when he can't make up his mind, he usually asks his sister.
Because his sister can often give the safest advice or novel ideas.
However.
Tang Yuan'er also didn't expect that they would face such a thing as the demise of their family. For a while, they were also left without a master.
After a while, she suddenly said:
"Brother, why don't we ask Mr. Lu?"
"You mean Brother Lu?"
Tang Wanyuan subconsciously shook his head with a grimace:
"Although Brother Lu is strong, what role can he play in this matter if he is in the Xuanyuan realm?"
"But no one thought that he could really cure his father and injure the young master of the Zhang family, right?"
Tang Wanyuan was stunned.
Having said that, he really found that Lu Lan was basically able to do things that they thought were impossible.
Especially when he is only in the Xuanyuan realm.
"But, can he really help his father and the others?"
Tang Wanyuan frowned tightly: "Besides, he has helped us so many times, and his only request from father has been fulfilled for him."
"Logically speaking, our Tang family still owes him a favor."
"As a result, we have reached a moment of life and death, and we still have to ask for help... If this doesn't go well, Brother Lu will be involved!"
What Tang Wanyuan said makes sense.
Lu Lan and the Tang family only had a brief acquaintance.
And the way Lu Lan practices his sword every day always shows that he has his own way and will not stay in Yinjian City forever.
When Tang Yuan'er said what she just said, she felt unsure in her heart.
For any person, if a major event like this has nothing to do with oneself, one can basically hide as far away as possible.
Finally, she let out a long breath and stood up holding on to the edge of the table:
"Brother, please take me to find Mr. Lu. We will ask Mr. Lu together to see if he can do anything."
"If so, try asking him to help."
"if there is not……"
At this point, Tang Yuan'er didn't dare to continue talking.
If not, she would have perished with the Tang family...
At this moment, Lu Lan was in the courtyard.
Lu Lan gathered all her profound energy to run her skills and waved the Ba Xuan giant sword in her hand.
Zhan Xuanyuan leaned against the wall beside him, crossed his arms over his chest, shook his head in confusion and said:
"I've been watching here for almost a whole night...I still don't see what your technique is."
"The way you practice is so weird."
After all, he was once a genius of the Medicine God Sect, and his network of contacts was naturally vast.
He has seen many geniuses' bizarre cultivation methods.
But there has never been a person who practiced like Lu Lan, who grabbed a big heavy sword and waved it around.
This cultivation method is also a bit laborious.
Lu Lan didn't care about his attempts to see his own skills.
[Dragon Elephant Fu Shi Sutra] is also one of those inherited techniques from ancient times.
If it could be seen so easily, it would not be worthy of being in that heritage relic.
Lu Lan did not answer Zhan Xuanyuan's question, but asked instead:
"What have you been doing recently? I've been here for almost half a month, and I haven't seen you for more than ten days."
"Nothing, I just went to Yaoyuan Chamber of Commerce to see if they have any new products."
Zhan Xuanyuan said casually.
However, Lu Lan could clearly hear a trace of resentment hidden in that casual tone.
Although most of his resentment was directed at Xia Ningmo.
But how could he not have any resentment in his heart towards the Yaoshen Sect that had expelled him?
"Speaking of which, in Yinjian City, the Yaoyuan Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful, on par with the three major forces."
Lu Lan put away the Ba Xuan giant sword and said thoughtfully:
"If they can help the Tang family..."
"Don't even think about it."
Zhan Xuanyuan said directly: "I don't have a good image in the Yaoshen Sect now. Even if you want to move me out, the Yaoyuan Chamber of Commerce's first reaction is probably to arrest me instead of agreeing to help the Tang family. "
But soon, he changed his voice again and said with a smile:
"But...if it were you, maybe I would."
"Huh?" Lu Lan raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
"Yaoyuan Chamber of Commerce has to think about new drugs every day. Although it has the support of Yaoshen Sect, it is impossible for Yaoshen Sect to develop a new drug in ten and a half months."
"But if you can develop a new drug and achieve a best-selling effect..."
"Maybe the Yaoyuan Chamber of Commerce will give you a favor and promise you to help the Tang family. It's not impossible."
Zhan Xuanyuan just finished speaking.
The courtyard door was suddenly knocked.
