With the departure of Lin Tian, Gao Zhenning no longer worked for the Imperial Palace, making the situation of the Royal Family, which had already suffered a great loss in strength, become even worse.
The royal family's power gradually fell into the hands of the ministers of the imperial court, while Ming Kang and Ming Kai, as princes, were gradually lifted up into the air.
And what was even more shocking was that the Han Clan at the north side, in the midst of such weak national power that had been crippled for a long time, was actually coming towards them from the south! The position of the three largest factions in the Western Regions, which were originally at peace, quietly changed under the push of the heavy wheels of history.
"I heard that the Han Clan has almost all of the territory north of the Ming Royal Country?" Ji Lei had some pastries in his mouth, and vaguely asked Shaoyuan, who heard what was said, and nodded. His eyebrows were slightly knitted, and he asked Ji Lei: "Do you think Yan Clan should interfere?"
"Intervene? Why did the Yan Clan intervene? If they want to fight, they can fight however they want. Why are the Yan Clan involved in this battle? " However, Shaoyuan had his own reasons, so he explained to Ji Lei: "Yan Clan and Han Clan are long-lost enemies, this time, Han Clan will take over the borders of the Ming Royal Country, devour the land, and expand one's strength without restraint, for Yan Clan, it might be a hidden danger."
"I understand what you mean. You're afraid that once the power of your Han Clan expands, it will be difficult for your Yan Clan to contend against it, right?" Ji Lei swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "That's easy to deal with. We just need to let the Ming family take back all the territory."
"How could it be that easy …" Hearing this, Shaoyuan laughed bitterly: "You sound so light, but it's not like you don't see how weak Ming Royal Country is right now. Relying on them to win over Han Clan is simply nonsense."
"But other than this, do you have any other methods?" Indeed, in the current situation, there was only one way left for Ming Royal Country to recover its lost territory. But in the current situation, Ming Royal Country did not have this power, nor did they have this kind of thought, the Ming Imperial Family was itself in a state of internal strife, the brothers could not care about their own internal struggles, how could they care about the northern borders? People in the royal family were always selfish. As long as they could become the emperor, they could pay any price. It was the same for people since ancient times.
Therefore, it should be impossible for Ming Royal Country to take the initiative to stand up to fight against enemies … After devouring the north side, the Han Clan would definitely go further south, step by step, finally striking Wang Cheng. At that time, once the Ming Royal Country is destroyed, the Yan Clan would be in imminent danger, so Ji Lei did not hope for a Yan Clan to be able to contend with the Han Clan which had already swallowed the Ming Royal Country.
"Damn it, I just wanted to live a few days in peace, these grandsons of mine are causing all these trouble …" "Are you letting me live …" Ji Lei cursed in his heart as his brain quickly spun, as if he was trying to figure out a way to force back the master of the Han Clan.
The answer is, there is no way.
If he wanted the Yan Clan to send out troops to help the Ming Royal Country, it was likely that the people with power would not agree. After all, this was not a small matter, and once a large majority of their troops were to be harmed, then forget about waiting for the Han Clan to swallow the Ming Royal Country, the strength of the Yan Clan itself would already be weakened by a large amount. However, this was the only method Ji Lei could think of. If he did not try, it was very possible that none of his Ming Royal Country or Ming Royal Country were spared.
"Why don't we send out our troops?" Unknowingly, Ji Lei had already replaced the words "we" with "the Yan Clan" in his words. Shaoyuan seemed to have noticed this change, and although he didn't know what expression was on his face, he felt happy inside. Even Shaoyuan wasn't used to Ji Lei's question.
"We should let the clan know about this matter. The only one truly in power in the Yan Village is me, and I need to return to the Yan Clan to convince the elders to send troops."
"Why is it so troublesome …" Ji Lei frowned, but after thinking about it, every clan should have this rule, even if it was the Patriarch, they had to pay attention to the clan elders, if these elders had a good foresight, it would be easier, if these people were all stubborn, then sending troops using Yan Clan was probably just a pipe dream.
"Alright, but you should leave Chang Gongxiao and the others at Yan Manor and always pay attention to the news of Sun Zhang, especially Ming Kai. Don't let anything happen to him!" Ji Lei warned Shaoyuan once again. Hearing what was said, Liu Tie became a little doubtful: "Zhou Steel? "Why are you so concerned about him?"
"It's nothing. He's a very important person to me. If he dies, then I won't be able to go back." In a moment of desperation, Ji Lei actually said something that he missed out on. This was something that Shaoyuan heard and it was even weirder: "Can't go back? "Where are you going?"
"Err …" I have the chance to explain this matter to you in the future. Right now, let's quickly return to the Yan Clan. " Ji Lei wanted to say something, but when Shaoyuan heard this, he still chose to listen to Ji Lei's words even though he had some doubts. He nodded and walked out of the room.
"Phew, I actually leaked it …" Ji Lei let out a long breath. Seeing Shaoyuan leave, he finally felt relieved and went out the door.
"Are we going to stay here and defend the Manor?" "Yes, I will follow Young Master's orders." After Shaoyuan told Chang Gongxiao about the situation, Chang Gongxiao also agreed without hesitation. After all, it was impossible to disobey an order, even if Chang Gongxiao also wanted to return to Yan Clan to take a look, he still followed Shaoyuan's instructions and stayed at Yan Manor to guard Liu Minggang.
Seeing Chang Gongxiao agree, Shaoyuan turned around and nodded to Wu Tie. Ji Lei also nodded his head. Then, Shaoyuan brought Wu Tie and walked towards the depths of the Yan manor.
"Sigh." Just as Ji Lei was about to leave, Chang Gongxiao suddenly patted Ji Lei. Ji Lei turned his head with some doubt and looked at Chang Gongxiao.
"What's wrong?"
"Once you reach the Yan Clan, don't ever argue with that group of elders. If you have conflicts with them, I can't guarantee that you will be able to walk out of the Yan Clan alive." Before Ji Lei left, after hearing Chang Gongxiao's warning, Ji Lei nodded and said, "Yes, I know what to do."
"Also, all the elders of the clan have some opinions towards the young lord, you better take care to protect the young lord."
"What?" Hearing that, Ji Lei couldn't help but frown: "He is the Young Lord, there's actually someone who dares to have a complaint against him? Kill him! "
"The situation in the Yan Clan is a bit more complicated than you think. Just do as I say."
"Alright, alright, I got it. Let's go." Ji Lei shook his hands and then walked towards Shaoyuan.
"I think I know what you're going to do. Good luck." Watching Ji Lei's leaving figure, Chang Gongxiao slowly turned his head and looked at Ming Wang Cheng.
