After hearing that Long Tianhao was attacked from both sides, Lin Mengya could no longer hold back.
"Tell Li Ao to bring his men here. Remember, they can only attack from the back. Just get rid of those who betrayed us."
She was well aware of Long Tianhao's strength.
He also knew how powerful his subordinates were.
Although Long Tianhao was a powerful commander, he would not underestimate the preparatory work before each battle.
It could be said that if there were no other interfering factors, he would definitely win.
The truth was as Lin Mengya had guessed.
After Li Ao led his men to get rid of those who tried to attack Long Tianhao from the back, the situation was tilted in favor of Long Tianhao and Yue Zhengzixiu.
Soon, those people of the Pei family were forced back to the secret room.
Then, they closed the door of the secret room from the inside.
Long Tianhao did not rush in. Instead, he followed Yue Zhengzixiu's advice and surrounded the old house of the Huo family layer by layer.
From start to finish, this intense conflict had only lasted for four hours.
But Lin Mengya felt that it was much longer than if she was alone.
Until she saw Long Tianhao in front of her.
As before, she rushed up to him and took the long knife from his hand.
"How are you? Are you hurt?"
Although he was extremely brave, she could not help but worry.
Long Tianhao smiled at her and shook his head.
"I won."
"I know."
As always, he gave her the victory.
She, on the other hand, brought him peace and soothed his exhaustion.
.....
In the hall of the family meeting, the meeting that had been suspended for two days started again.
But this time, it was not the Chief Elder who sat in the first seat, but Yue Zhengzixiu who claimed to be sick a few days ago.
This time, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao officially sat on his right side.
They had now become a friendly family recognized by the chief family.
One was an abandoned family that was disdained by others, and the other was a friendly family that was treated as a guest of honor. The meaning was completely different.
It wasn't that no one had any objections, but right now, they all had to obediently keep their words to themselves.
Yue Zheng Zixiu looked around. Although he looked tired, he was in high spirits and his aura was at its peak.
"I'm sure everyone has heard about what happened today."
No one dared to speak. Yue Zheng Zixiu continued, "The Pei Clan killed their own clansmen for no reason, which is a violation of the clan's iron law. According to the clan rules, from now on, the Pei Family will be viewed as traitors! "
Traitors!
How important were these two words in the ancient race?
The Forsaken Race was just exiled after committing a crime.
But betraying the clan was the most unforgivable crime, the death penalty!
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
The Clan Hall was once again filled with discussions.
In the end, someone was pushed out to be the first to stand out.
"Cough cough, Patriarch Yue Zheng, there's probably more to this matter than meets the eye, right?"
That person jumped out, but with a guilty conscience, he was twisting words and forcing logic.
"The Pei family is a large family. In my opinion, why don't we invite the head of the Pei family over and ask him if there's any misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" This was the first time Yue Zhengzi had looked at him so sharply.
"If it's really a misunderstanding, then why did he kill my fellow Ancient Clan members? Or could it be that the people who died weren't from the Tan family? Patriarch Tan can naturally think of it as a misunderstanding. "
Patriarch Tan's face immediately turned red when he said this.
The person who defected at the last minute was a junior of the Tan family.
And the Tan family had always followed the Pei family's lead.
He jumped out like this because he didn't want to implicate himself in this matter.
But he didn't expect that the usually generous Yue Zheng Zixiu would have such a sharp side.
At that moment, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"In the end, we still have to ask clearly. Without any evidence, it's not good to say that the Pei family is a traitor, right?"
These words were really shameless.
Yue Zheng Zixiu's expression was uncertain, but the way he looked at Patriarch Tan was extremely cold.
"Evidence? Aren't the casualties of my Yue Zheng family evidence? Aren't the clansmen who were killed by the Pei family evidence? Patriarch Tan, I wonder what would be considered evidence? Don't tell me you have to put the Pei family's butcher's knife on our necks before you think that's evidence? "
Yue Zheng Zixiu's words were piercing to the bone.
Patriarch Tan immediately shrank back after being rebuked.
As for the clansmen who were killed, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and even had a lot of opinions about Patriarch Tan.
But now, they just hadn't completely exploded.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and knew that in the future, no one in the ancient clan would dare to look down on Yue Zheng Zixiu, the leader of the main clan.
She could only say that the Pei family had shot themselves in the foot this time.
But the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt.
Pei Qianji, that old fox, shouldn't have been so impulsive.
At least, he shouldn't have started a massacre at this time.
Or did she overestimate that old fox from the Pei family?
Lin Mengya just couldn't figure it out, and finally gave up thinking about it.
After dealing with the internal affairs of the ancient clan, Yue Zheng Zixiu invited Lin Mengya and her husband into the inner hall.
This was the center of Yuehu City.
Compared to the outside, it was a little less noisy here.
"It's all thanks to Patriarch Gong and the Lord that we were able to deal with this matter in time. On behalf of the ancient clan, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to both of you."
In front of them, Yue Zheng Zixiu, who had shed the stiff shell of Patriarch Yue Zheng, appeared polite and gentle.
He led the couple through the long corridor with familiarity and arrived at the inner room.
This was Lin Mengya's first time here.
But to her surprise, there were traces of Yue Zheng Zixiu everywhere.
His pen and paper were placed on the desk, and even his coat was placed on a chair in the inner hall.
In an instant, that strange feeling surfaced in her heart again.
Someone served them a cup of tea.
Lin Mengya drank the tea very quickly, and it didn't taste as strong as the tea she had on the first day of the clan meeting.
"This is the tea I usually use, and it has the best fragrance. If you like it, I can get someone to bring you a few packets. "Yue Zheng Zixiu was still as gentle as before, and he was as meticulous as ever.
Lin Mengya, who suddenly thought of something, changed her expression, and then shook her head to decline.
"No, I don't like to drink tea."
She looked straight at Yue Zheng Zixiu.
"Patriarch Yue Zheng Zixiu is really good at scheming. Even my wife and I have become your pawns. But I really want to know how the Yue Zheng Family plans to deal with us after using us. "
The woman's voice was a little hoarse.
But it made the smile on Yue Zheng Zixiu's face disappear.
Long Tianhao was sitting next to his wife.
His eyes were also fixed on Yue Zheng Zixiu.
Both husband and wife were smart people. Being stared at like this, Yue Zheng Zixiu felt a sudden increase of pressure. In the end, he could only smile bitterly.
"If I say that I have never thought of harming you, will you believe me?"
Lin Mengya shook her head without hesitation.
She had never been angry with people who didn't deserve to be angry.
Just like before, she could treat Yue Zheng Zixiu as a companion and think of ways to save him.
But now, Yue Zheng Zixiu was just a collaborator to her.
"Friends" needed true feelings, while "collaborators" only needed benefits.
Now, Yue Zheng Zixiu was like this. Since both sides had benefits, of course, she would not be angry.
Yue Zheng Zixiu's smile became more and more bitter.
But he could only do this.
But somehow, he felt a little regretful in his heart.
As if he had missed something important and could never get it back.
"Actually, I …"
He opened his mouth and tried to explain.
In the end, he sighed helplessly.
"I admit that I did want to beat Pei Qianji at his own game and forced him to make a big mistake. But I didn't expect that he would be so cruel and heartless. All this can only be said to be fate."
In fact, since Yue Zheng Zixiu was caught by the Pei family, it had been a trap set up by the two brothers.
They had already sensed that there might be a mole around them.
But because the family meeting was imminent, they could not act rashly.
In the end, Yue Zheng Zixiu took the risk and set up the trap himself, which exposed the mole.
And with Yue Zheng Zixiu's means, even if Lin Mengya did not rescue him, he could still find a way to return to his brother.
But they did not expect that the Pei family was so crazy that they wanted to kill everyone who did not listen to them.
And because of the death of his companion, Yue Zheng Zixiu wanted to kill the Pei family.
Not only did they want the Pei family to betray them, but they also wanted the Pei family to never have a day of peace.
Therefore, after knowing Lin Mengya's plan, the two brothers took action.
Later, Pei Qianji killed his own clansmen at all costs.
And before that, Yue Zheng Zixiu's position was not as precarious as Lin Mengya thought.
She could tell from his familiarity with this place.
Maybe the confrontation with the First Elder in that yard was also part of Yue Zheng Zixiu's plan.
Lin Mengya had to admit that the feeling of being schemed against in every way made her feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Mengya did not want to know the details. She did not even question Yue Zheng Zixiu and directly asked him about the next step of the plan.
"Then can you tell us what you're going to do next?"
Yue Zheng Zixiu was not used to her business-like attitude.
Ever since she had saved his life that day, he had always wanted to thank her.
But now, it did not seem to be the best opportunity.
"I just hope that the aboriginals will stop fighting among themselves."
Yue Zheng Zixiu looked at her sincerely.
Lin Mengya nodded and turned to look at her man, as if communicating with him with her eyes.
