Chapter 687: Chapter 543 Lure the Snake out of the Hole + Chapter 544 The Flower Protector_3
Therefore, based on common sense judgment.
When the survival of the family is at stake,
this clan might resort to the depths of their family heritage.
Something that I might not be able to withstand.
Even if we lead a grand army to attack, we’ll be hitting a snag.
The reason they don’t bring out their foundations to intercept attacks, Zhou Ping’an speculates, is that these heritages may only be able to defend and counterattack, not sufficient to wage wars far and wide.
All things have their gains and losses.
One must abide by the basic principles.
If there are treasures or skills that can break the limit, there certainly should be some restrictions.
If they could be used without limits,
then it would not be the Xiao Family ruling over the Great Yu Dynasty and stretching their reign across the Four Seas and Eight Extremes, but the Tang Family instead.
This reasoning is clearly understood by Lin Huaiyu as well.
"Therefore, senior brother, you had Miss Qing disguise herself as you, leading fifty thousand troops here, following behind, but actually having Bai He as the chief commander, attacking cities and seizing land on the way, which is merely a feint.
The true purpose is for us to be the main force, to lower the Tang Family’s guard, and then deliver a fatal blow."
"Killing is only secondary."
Zhou Ping’an slowed down his horse speed as he approached Jinhe City, his voice became so soft it was like a whisper as it entered Lin Huaiyu’s ears.
"As the saying goes, ’Those who obey the will of heaven are favored, while those who defy it are forsaken.’ What we must show is our own path..."
"I understand, it’s to overpower them, to recruit some usable hands. Otherwise, if we kill too aggressively, we’ll forge an unresolvable blood feud. After three tide cycles, the Tang family’s ancestors will crawl out of their coffins to fight against us."
"That’s a rather unique way of putting it."
Zhou Ping’an couldn’t help but chuckle twice: "Our sect doesn’t hold us in high regard, so we must find some external support on our own, even if it’s temporary. Otherwise, if we make enemies on all fronts, even if we conquer territories, we won’t be able to hold them. Sooner or later, others will benefit from our efforts."
The good thing about the Tang Family is that everyone is educated, filled with literary graces, which makes them ready for state governance.
Even better, they are a family legacy, with blood ties inside and outside the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land, all related as fathers, sons, and grandsons.
Such a relationship normally has strong cohesion and rarely suffers internal conflict.
Even when bloodied in battle, they will maintain a degree, keeping it at a level where they fight but do not break.
However, when chaos arises, once someone perishes, it would be heart-wrenching and extremely unbearable.
If you use the descendants outside the Heavenly Cave as hostages, would those ancestors within the Heavenly Cave dare to make a move? They would not bear to see all their descendants wiped out and become alone and isolated.
If that situation were to occur,
even if the Heavenly Cave ancestors survive and take their revenge, the dead descendants would not come back to life. Victorious yet defeated.
Such a ruthless method of dealing is not for the wise.
Yet, each one in the Tang Family from young to old is literate, they are not fools from birth.
Naturally, they would not choose such a foolish approach.
This is Zhou Ping’an’s strategy.
"Lure the snake out of the hole, aim for the vital seven inches."
The two easily blended into the crowd and entered Jinhe City...
Under the guidance of the Five Desires Evil Art, the City Gate’s Guardian General and the soldiers did not sense anything amiss.
Let alone know that a man and a woman, with extraordinary looks and demeanor, were plotting against the true masters of this city, the Tang Family.
"It’s truly bustling... indeed richer than Guangyun County and Zhao Mountain Prefecture, what a pity, no matter how wealthy, there are still extremely many poor people."
The two led their horses and walked slowly, not staying at an inn, passing by several streets.
They saw the thriving and prosperous wealthy district, as well as the stench-filled, squalid thatched huts of the poor district.
Sometimes, just across one street, there exist two different worlds.
Clearly, Elder Tang’s benevolence did not extend to the refugees.
What’s out of sight is out of mind.
The common folk naturally don’t have a say, nor do they feel there’s something amiss.
"We’re here."
Zhou Ping’an stopped walking.
Looking up, they saw a seven-story pavilion with lofty and soaring eaves, possessing the grandeur of wings flying to the heavens.
If they had not looked at the plaque, they might have thought this place was an Official Government or Sect residence.
But the gilt letters on the signboard that read "Qunfang Courtyard" made it clear.
This was an entertainment venue.
"Little Fengxian is performing at the pavilion today, a single seat costs a thousand in gold. If you’re late, there won’t even be a standing spot left. I have connections here, guaranteeing you can get close to the beauty while saving gold and silver."
"What, Seventh Young Master Tang doesn’t like the bustle. He doesn’t allow anyone near him after ascending the pavilion, you don’t need to worry about that, I’ll manage..."
"Really? I heard that Seventh Young Master Tang is so fixated on Little Fengxian that he’s ignoring the eight striking beauties in his own home, longing only to join wings with Little Fengxian with her melodic voice. How could he let anyone sit at the same table to compete, wouldn’t that be like watching himself being cuckolded right before his eyes?"
"That’s not up to Seventh Young Master Tang, Little Fengxian is resolute and has publicly stated that if the Tang Family uses force, he who wins her person won’t win her heart. She will take her own life if she finds the chance."
"Ah, such an extraordinary woman. Even if it costs a fortune, I must go and hear her performance."
The young men dressed in scholarly robes and brocade crowded around, each looking for a way to purchase admission, eager to see what kind of woman could bewitch Seventh Young Master Tang into a state of fascination. What exactly does she look like?
"Shall we pay to go in as well?"
Lin Huaiyu asked with a smile.
Seeing how eager these people were, she shook her head.
She realized that there could only be one explanation for this situation: Little Fengxian was putting on airs to inflate her own value.
Otherwise, this scenario would not be possible.
Because, upon entering the city, she had already learned what kind of person the so-called "Seventh Young Master Tang" really was.
"No need, you are different this time, you’re playing the role of the flower-guarding knight."
