Fortunately, some of the clans were glad that they had concealed their strength well.
Therefore, although they had switched sides at the last minute, they were not afraid of being punished by the Yue Zhengjia.
At the same time, in order to gain merit in front of their new master, these people were especially ruthless towards the Pei family.
However, what they did not know was that while they were secretly celebrating, Yue Zhengzixiu had already collected all the evidence of their secret collusion with the Pei family.
As for why he did not do it?
Heh, it was because he wanted to see their ugly dog-eat-dog faces.
Once the Pei family and those people's strength was exhausted, it would be time for Yue Zhengzixiu to settle the score.
Moreover, even if he did not make a move, the internal strife of those people would be enough to drag them down.
It had to be said that in terms of intelligence, there were very few people in the aboriginals who could match Yue Zhengzixiu.
Did they not see that even the wily and farsighted patriarch of the Pei family was defeated by this talented young man?
For a moment, Yue Zhengzixiu's personal reputation rose to the peak.
The Yue Zhengzixiu's clan elders could no longer force him to give up his position as the patriarch.
He was the final winner of this battle.
.....
In the old residence of the Huo family, which was now the Pei family's courtyard, Pei Qianji looked at the clansmen in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Father, the Yue Zhengjia will definitely follow us like a rabid dog. I think we should prepare to break out of the encirclement!"
Pei Mingyuan's last few words were spoken very softly.
This was because once they decided to break out of the encirclement, it would mean sacrificing the lives of the majority of the clansmen for the survival of a small group of people.
Under the threat of death, of course, everyone wanted to fight for a chance to live.
No one would be willing to die.
Once the news spread, the people's hearts would be in chaos, so he had to be on guard.
After a few days and nights of fighting and killing, Pei Qianji was no longer as calm and composed as she used to be.
In just a few days, he quickly shriveled up.
His face, which used to look kind because of his stout appearance, was now ferocious.
He sat on the highest seat in the Pei family, but his brows were tightly furrowed. His dry hair and oversized coat made him look somewhat disheveled.
"Father! At this time, please make a decision quickly! "
Pei Mingyuan urged anxiously.
From the beginning of the incident until now, he was so anxious that a string of blisters had formed at the corner of his mouth.
Up until now, he still couldn't understand how the Pei Family had gone from a flourishing family to a dead end in the blink of an eye.
A few days ago, he was still the high and mighty young master of the Pei family. He was blessed with glory, and the supreme authority of the aboriginals was at his fingertips.
But now, he had become a pathetic stray dog.
And all of this stemmed from his father's irrational and extreme actions that day!
However, he could only bury these words in his stomach, not daring to mention them.
"Big Brother, I think you're afraid of that little bastard from Le Zheng's family, right?"
Suddenly, another mocking voice sounded from the side.
Pei Mingyuan immediately looked over coldly and roared, "You still have the face to say that?"
He stomped over angrily and slapped Pei Mingze's face.
"If it weren't for your brainless stupidity, we wouldn't have been forced into such a state!"
"Pei Mingze! If the Pei Family is finished, you will be the sinner of the family! "
Pei Mingze licked the blood from the corner of his lips.
He turned around and glared fiercely at Pei Mingyuan with his bloodshot eyes.
"Ha! Even now, Big Brother, you still intend to push the blame onto someone else? "
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He no longer had any feelings for Pei Mingyuan.
In any case, everything had been destroyed by this idiot!
"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have fished out the remnants of the Huo Family long ago!
"At the end of the day, you're the big brother. You're afraid that younger brothers like us will climb over your head!"
"You still won't admit your mistake at this time!" Pei Mingyuan was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
Pei Mingze became more and more agitated as he spoke. It was as if he wanted to vent all the pent-up anger that had accumulated over the years.
"What did I do wrong? I did all of this for the sake of the Pei Family. Big Brother, if you're as timid as a mouse, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring the Pei Family to greater heights! "
"Little bastard, I already knew that you coveted the position of the family head!" Pei Mingyuan scolded in exasperation.
"That's right! Why are you the only one who has the right to inherit the family head position? Is it because you crawled out of First Madam's womb? "
"How dare you humiliate my mother! I'll beat you to death, you little bastard! "
The two brothers were at each other's throats. A fight was about to break out.
Suddenly, Patriarch Pei bellowed, "Shut up, both of you!"
Both of them swallowed their words.
However, since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, they naturally hated each other. They snorted and looked away, ignoring each other.
Pei Qianji's sinister gaze swept over his two sons.
He could not stay here and wait for death.
However, he could not bear to expose the trump cards that he had accumulated over the years.
If those things were gone, what could he do even if he managed to escape?
He had to keep those things and make a comeback.
At this thought, Pei Qianji had a plan in mind.
He was silent for a moment before he said, "Mingyuan is right. We really can't be trapped here."
Pei Mingyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Father, please give the order. I'll arrange for people to break out of here immediately!"
"There's no hurry."
But Pei Qianji waved his hand and stopped him.
"Those two bastards from the Le Zhengjia are very cunning. If we rush out rashly, I'm afraid we'll fall into their trap."
Pei Mingyuan seemed to have thought of something, and his heart skipped a beat.
"So, what do you mean?" He asked tentatively.
Pei Qianji said, "You and I will each lead a group of people. If we split into three groups, we'll definitely catch them off guard."
"We'll rendezvous outside the city. As long as we retreat to our territory, those two bastards from the Le Zhengjia won't be able to kill us."
Sure enough!
Pei Mingyuan's heart sank to the bottom.
He looked at his father with a heavy heart. He really wanted to ask him.
Was the reason why they split into three groups so that he and Pei Mingze would sacrifice their lives in exchange for a way out for his father?
However, he bit his lips tightly. He knew that even if he asked, he would not get the answer he wanted. It might even make his father suspicious of him.
"Okay, I understand."
Pei Mingyuan said through gritted teeth, but his mood was quite complicated.
Was he disappointed?
Perhaps he was.
But more than that, he felt a sense of "so that's how it is".
"Father, if that's the case, then I want to compete with my eldest brother. Who is more suitable to inherit the Pei family?"
Pei Mingze was still acting on impulse.
Pei Mingyuan was just about to scold him for making a scene, but he suddenly thought of a way to save his life.
If most of the enemies were attracted by Pei Mingze, wouldn't he have more hope of survival?
Thinking of this, Pei Mingyuan immediately said sarcastically, "You think you're worthy of coveting the position of the patriarch? Heh, Pei Mingze, you really overestimate yourself. "
Sure enough!
His stupid younger brother was tricked immediately.
He even wanted to jump up and fight with him.
Unfortunately, at this time, his father would not allow them to fight among themselves.
"Enough! Pei Mingze, if you're not convinced, then show me your strength to make me approve of you. "
This sentence was no different from adding fuel to the fire!
Pei Mingze even thought that his father gave him this opportunity because his selfish and cowardly eldest brother was despised by his father.
Pei Mingyuan pretended to stop him, but in the end, he angrily lowered his eyes, hiding the success in his eyes.
An idiot would always be an idiot.
Even if Pei Mingze was given a hundred chances, he was doomed to fail.
.....
Le Zhengjia's attack on the Pei family was on the evening of the sixth day after the incident.
The setting sun was as red as blood, and even the clouds in the sky looked like cotton stained with blood. For some reason, it gave people an ominous feeling, as if something big was going to happen.
That day, the children all went to bed early.
However, the adults in the family were all gathered in one room, and no one spoke first.
Until —
"What time is it?" Lin Mengya asked outside.
Baisu immediately replied, "Master, it's a quarter to five in the evening."
A quarter to five in the evening, Lin Mengya nodded.
She calculated the time, and it should be chaotic outside.
Their house was not in the most central area, nor was it too close to the main battlefield.
After a few minutes, with her sharp hearing, she immediately caught the sound coming from outside.
"Master, there's a fight outside. Our men have surrounded the house like an iron bucket, and we won't let anyone in. "
Outside the door, Baisu held a long sword in her hand, and her eyebrows were full of sharpness.
The more chaotic it was, the more people would want to fish in troubled waters.
And they looked like "fat sheep" waiting to be slaughtered. Moreover, if something really happened, they could at most blame it on the Pei family, and no one would investigate.
As for leaving the city, Lin Mengya had also thought about it.
She even thought of letting her family retreat to a safe place, and then come back after the storm had passed.
But the news sent by Li Ao last night made her give up on this idea.
It was more chaotic outside than inside.
The Golden Slope, which they had temporarily taken shelter in, had been secretly attacked several times, and there were many casualties.
Some people immediately thought of leaving.
But when they packed up and fled with their clansmen, they didn't know that someone had already set up an ambush on their way.
Fortunately, Li Ao and the others were more vigilant, or they would have fallen into the trap.
They fought and retreated, and in the end, they also lost a few good men, and then evacuated to a safe place.
In terms of manpower, Lin Mengya and the others were indeed stronger than Li Ao and the others.
But in her group, there were two children, and several ordinary people who did not know martial arts.
Lin Mengya was afraid that she would not be able to take them with her, and she could not leave her family and companions behind.
Therefore, they might as well continue to stay here.
At most, they would become a nest of turtles, and fight one came, and two came, and she would fight two.
The battle outside had still affected them in the end.
Lin Mengya, Long Tianhao, and Aunt Fang's family of three all contributed their manpower without reservation.
At this time, the eaves, the back of the house, and the four walls outside were all guarded by their people.
