After Gu Le left, the clan leader immediately summoned all the people in charge to hold an emergency meeting in the lobby. In addition to all the elders present, there were also those in charge of various industries, finance, elixir pavilion, magic equipment pavilion and other relevant top positions. A total of more than sixty people gathered.
Although there were many people, everyone seemed to have a problem with their throats. Apart from coughing, they didn't say a word. The backs of several elders were still wet. Even though Gu Le had left, the cool feeling still reminded them of the fear they felt at that time.
Luo Xinghai touched the broken chair and took a deep breath: "We have called everyone here. I must know the general reason. Today we were tricked by Gu Le. Not only did we lose 10 Luo The elite of the family also paid nearly 400,000 worth of elixirs to the Yun family."
"si~"
Everyone took a deep breath. When the money was really calculated, the Luo family could simply understand that this time they were cut off a piece of flesh and went out.
"The reason why we were caught is because someone pretended to be a member of our Luo family and attacked an important person of the Yun family. Everyone is going to investigate this for me. You must find it out for me."
One of the elders suddenly asked: "Could this be a play they directed and performed to weaken the Luo family's strength?"
At this time, Luo Xinghai sneered: "Gu Le is an upright man and has strength. He doesn't need to engage in this trick with us. Haven't you noticed that he didn't drink a sip of tea or eat anything today? He often closed his eyes. Are your eyes soothing?"
These words reminded everyone present that there seemed to be such a thing, but what could it mean?
Luo Xinghai continued to explain: "It means that he is afraid that we will poison him inside. He is not sure whether our people did it this time. If it is, then this time he will undoubtedly be a sheep in a tiger's mouth, even if it is based on strength. No matter how strong he is, as long as he is well prepared, he can still be defeated."
The third elder was confused: "Since he is not sure whether we did it, then why do we have to make such a big loss to please him."
Luo Xinghai felt deep regret and said helplessly: "If we are not sincere enough, we will not be able to eliminate the suspicion that we are related to the killer. The Yun family will immediately go to war with the Luo family, even if they also know that they want to If they eat the Luo family, they will have to pay a heavy price."
When everyone heard this, their backs felt even colder, and several elders were even more grateful that neither party had made a move just now.
The seventh elder shook his head affectionately and said: "They are a powerful party after all. What we do is just a delaying tactic. We must strengthen our own strength as soon as possible. Not to mention confrontation, at least we can protect ourselves."
"Okay, that's what I have in mind. Eighth Elder, go through all the accounts again, take half of the Luo family's annual income, and give it to the second elder, and ask him to attract some powerful forces or strong people back. He has traveled across the mainland for so many years, so he should know a lot of people."
"Isn't this a bit too much? If we do this, once there is a problem with the Luo family's industry, it will be difficult for us to mobilize funds in time to deal with it."
"If you want to get high returns, you must be prepared to take high risks. In the future, if the Demon-Gathering Pill successfully attacks the Yun family, and the Yun family is unable to respond, there may be a situation where the Yun family will be resolved by force. Our combat power level is not as good as theirs. I will always be able to keep my head down and be a human being like now.”
These words made the objections just now gradually disappear. Luo Xinghai continued: "Hun'er, how is the progress with the Great Elder?"
"Report to Grandpa, it only takes two months for the Demon Gathering Pill to be mass-produced and sold," Luo Hun stood up and said with a smile.
"Can you speed up the progress and shorten the time to one month?"
Luo Hun lowered his head and thought carefully: "It should be possible if we send more people."
"Okay, please count how many people are needed and tell me directly, and I will arrange it myself."
"Yes, Grandpa"
…
"Elder Gu, let's go back like this."
"You want to ask, just three pills are enough to bribe me, right?"
"Anyang dare not"
"The Luo family was not involved in this matter, and it can even be inferred that they had no knowledge at all. If they were really involved, we would not have been able to get out of it so easily, let alone kill our own in public. Elite, we also paid 3 pills to us, as long as we don’t admit it.”
"Since it wasn't someone from the Luo family who did it, what should we do?"
"Let's go to Li's house and meet another old friend."
…
It was already evening, and Gu Le had not returned to the Yun family yet. The patriarch stood at the side door waiting with an anxious heart. Yun Lun glanced at the sun that was about to set and thought that he could not wait any longer and must immediately gather people to besiege the Luo family.
But when Yun Lun just turned around, a group of familiar figures appeared in front of him.
"Uncle Gu, are you okay?"
Gu Le smiled and said: "Do you think something is wrong with me? Is there any news from Yunyang?"
"Come into the house and talk"
The two of them came directly to the bamboo house, while the remaining people stayed nearby.
"Today, the second elder personally led people to search outside the city, focusing on the location of yesterday's battle."
Gu Le remembered something. Just when he was arranging the Yun family's children to set up defenses, two powerful energies were suddenly colliding with each other on the west side of Fengming City. Their strength was beyond the comparison of ordinary high-level magicians. Looking at it, Look, I happened to see a giant red snake rising into the sky, and then swooping down. After the powerful explosion sounded, the energy generated caused even Gu Le, who was at home, to frown.
"You mean the giant red snake yesterday"
"Yes, that's the direction. We found two teleportation magic tools in the city, so Yunyang was probably teleported outside, and then the battle took place there. Moreover, the second elder deduced from the scene that the strength of the two fighting people They must be two high-level magicians. Yunyang was only a junior at that time. Even if he has a special physique, he can at most explode the energy of the middle magician."
Yunlun paused and said excitedly: "In other words, it is very likely that someone noble took action to save Yunyang."
Gu Le nodded slightly: "It does make sense. No matter what, it is at least possible. I have also made some progress here."
Yunlun did not answer, but waited for Gu Le to continue speaking.
"The attack has nothing to do with the Luo family. The people in the Li family know who did it, but they have an agreement with others not to provide us with too many clues. They only said that the person who came to them was very powerful. status, so this matter has become more complicated. However, remaining passive is not an option. The Yun family’s market still needs to be restored, and the Yun family cannot continue to live like this.”
"Should we just act like nothing happened?"
"Not entirely. We need to speed up the training of the younger generation so that they can cope with various emergencies, so that even if the other party takes action, we can reduce the losses as much as possible."
Su Tianhui never imagined that the smartest thing she thought she had done would turn out to be the stupidest thing she had ever done.
