"If the other party is in the dark, it is indeed a big threat to our Zhao family, but now that we have noticed it, and the great elder has been promoted to Foundation Establishment, the threat is actually not that big. What we need to consider now is which method to use response."
Zhao Yongqi slowly expressed his thoughts.
"The simplest way to deal with it is to increase the power of the Fierce Eight Square Array regardless of consumption. Those casual cultivators can only dare to make sneak attacks at best. No matter what, they will never be bold enough to attack the ninth-grade family head-on. As long as it takes twenty days, we will wait until the big one If my uncle thoroughly consolidates his cultivation, he will be able to make long-term plans."
"but......"
After a pause, Zhao Yongqi finally said: "This is just a moderate strategy."
"The golden mean?"
The great elder looked suspicious: "So there is still a better way?"
"That's right."
Zhao Yongqi did not show off, and continued: "As the saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days."
"Originally we didn't know that the foundation-building cultivator behind Feng Banxi was in the dark and we were in the dark, which was extremely disadvantageous to us. But now that we knew the other party's existence in advance, the situation changed to one in which the enemy was in the dark and we were in the dark. So I thought of a trick to lure the snake out of the cave.
First, there was a rumor that after the uncle was ready to consolidate his cultivation, he planned to follow the caravan to the Thousand Caves League to open up new trade routes.
This back and forth will take at least two months. Once the other party gets this information, it is very likely that they will not take action within these twenty days, and it will most likely be changed to the period when the uncle is away.
At that time, we only need to lay a trap in Weishan, and the Great Elder will kill them all. Even if we don't catch them all, we will definitely catch them off guard and suffer heavy losses. "
"This plan is not yet mature, so I would like to ask my uncle for more details."
Finally, Zhao Yong said respectfully that the great elder was already a monk in the foundation-building stage. No matter how much he supported him as the patriarch, he must give him enough respect.
"What if the other party doesn't fall for it?"
The great elder thought for a moment and then asked.
"I also have spies among the casual cultivators. If the other party is really not fooled, we can know in advance. All we need to do is open the formation and guard against it." Zhao Yongqi took out a wooden box, which was the Sky Thunder Bead that had been prepared for a long time. Said: "In addition, I specially prepared the Sky Thunder Beads for my uncle. When the uncle encounters the foundation-building monks, he only needs to deal with them and take the opportunity to use the Sky Thunder Beads to repel them."
He just took out two thunder beads.
I originally planned to give one to the great elder for use, and the other for self-defense and for emergencies.
The great elder did not ask who the spy was.
After thinking for a while, he said with a trace of anger: "If there is a traitor in our Zhao family, any plan may be known by the other party, which will be extremely detrimental to our arrangement."
His anger was naturally caused by the possibility of a traitor.
The great elder's words were not to question Zhao Yongqi, but to check for leaks and fill them up.
This kind of decision related to the fate of the family naturally requires careful discussion and deliberation, and finally a plan worthy of consideration is made.
"If there is really a traitor in the Zhao family, maybe I can find a way to find it. Now, except for the great elder, I have not told anyone about this matter. The news will not be leaked easily until the last moment. The great elder can rest assured. "
Zhao Yongqi asked the great elder for advice.
In fact, when he was preparing to find the Great Elder, he carefully thought about the plan of "leading the snake out of the hole" and had already prepared it in his mind. He has also been prepared for these questions raised by the great elder.
The elder did not explore the secret of how Zhao Yongqi found the traitor.
He believed that since Zhao Yongqi said he was sure, it was definitely not without aim.
Next.
The great elder asked several more questions, and Zhao Yongqi answered them one by one.
at last.
The great elder was quite satisfied. He nodded slowly and felt very pleased: "The patriarch has planned the strategy, and this plan is indeed the best one."
"But."
He raised the last doubt: "The patriarch seems to have never considered hiring foundation-building monks from nearby clans, such as the Xiong family, the He family, and the Qingsong Valley. Since they are both in the Thousand Layers Alliance, as long as they have enough spiritual stones, I guess it shouldn’t be difficult to hire.”
"It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."
Zhao Yongqi smiled bitterly: "Since there is a foundation-building monk behind Feng Banxi, where does uncle think this foundation-building monk comes from?"
"The patriarch is saying..."
The Great Elder was quick-witted and understood immediately. He immediately understood what Zhao Yongqi meant: "Could this matter be related to these clans?"
"There's no evidence for that."
Zhao Yongqi shook his head, and then said: "But it is so difficult to build a foundation for casual cultivation. Even if it is possible, you cannot go to outside clans to look for foreign aid. Otherwise, you will not be attracting foreign aid, but luring a tiger into the house."
Under the nine-grade clan system.
On the surface, it was stipulated that clans could not attack each other, but there was indispensable nastiness behind the scenes.
As long as no evidence is obtained, it doesn't hurt at all.
Because this is something that all clans know well.
to be honest.
The nine-level clan system only ensures the clan's upward path and the bottom line for fighting with other clans.
If you openly send your own monks to other clans to collect protection fees, it will definitely not work; but if you change your name and go again, even if the other party knows it is you, as long as there is no evidence, they can only break their teeth and swallow it.
We can't even expect top-grade clans to help find evidence.
Of course, if you can pay enough, it's not true that you can't help check it out.
After all, nothing is absolute.
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit.
certainly.
The top-ranking clans are not doing nothing.
If a certain clan is suddenly exterminated, or is close to being exterminated, then a thorough investigation will be carried out to try to figure out the cause of the extermination.
This is the bottom line drawn for clan struggles.
You can plunder the wool, but if you kill the other party directly, you'd better pray that your hands and feet are clean and you don't get caught.
This is the greatest function of the clan seal.
When he suffered a genocide, he sent a letter of grievances to the Xuantian Sect of the First-Rank Immortal Sect, and the Xuantian Sect supervised and found out the truth of the matter.
As the leader of the clan, Zhao Yongqi had to think ahead and prepare for the worst, so he immediately rejected the idea of hiring monks from other clans.
...
The plan to lure the snake out of its hole was decided, and the details and backup plans were discussed for a long time.
When I got home, it was already late at night.
The stars are bright and the moon is like water.
It is normal for cultivators to go several days without rest.
The matter was urgent, so Zhao Yongqi did not waste any time and used four transmission notes. After whispering a few words, the transmission notes turned into flames and fled in four directions.
Zhao Yongqi sat in the main room and waited silently.
More than a dozen fluorescent stones are inlaid throughout the house, making the whole house look like daylight. Under the illumination of the fluorescent stone, Zhao Yongqi's body was covered with a faint glow.
Only the sound of fingers tapping on the table echoed.
Zhao Yongqi closed his eyes slightly and thought silently in his heart.
What he was thinking about was not this difficulty, which was not a particularly big dilemma for him. What he was thinking about was the future development of the Zhao family and his own path to immortality in this life.
