Chapter 391 Another Blessed Place?
Half a month later, Chen Tianjing asked a group of tribesmen to leave the Mass Burial Mountain and go to Yong'an City to continue taking over the affairs of the city.
It has been almost a month since the investigation of Gongyang's family, and no accidents have occurred during this period. The family can prepare to start the next expansion plan and prepare enough sacrifices for the family festival.
On this day, in the family hall, when Chen Tianjing was looking at the output of blood rice from the family's fertile fields, reports from the clan came from outside:
"Clan leader, Mr. Zhou wants to see you."
Chen Tianjing was a little confused after hearing this. Zhou Honglang and his party had been quite peaceful in the past half month. Apart from practicing and visiting the family market, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
The family also provided some blood rice to a few people. Although it didn't help them much, it was the limit of what the family could do. After all, the family's resources were not too rich, so where could they get more? resources to outsiders.
"Let him in."
Chen Tianjing did not refuse, but spoke.
After a while, Zhou Honglang, who was already looking great, cupped his fists and said:
"I've met Patriarch Chen."
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou. During this period of time in our clan, the people below may not have treated you well. If so, Mr. Zhou, please tell me."
After hearing this, Zhou Honglang hurriedly explained:
"The nobles treat each other with courtesy, I am very grateful."
After hearing this, Chen Tianjing thought for a while and continued:
"Then Mr. Zhou is tired of living in our clan and wants to leave? If that's the case, our clan will also come up with some money for them to use on the road."
Zhou Honglang said with a wry smile on his face:
"Clan Chief Chen has misunderstood. I am here to discuss important matters. Please listen to me, Clan Chief Chen."
"Oh? Mr. Zhou, it's okay to say it."
Chen Tianjing made a sound of doubt, but still stretched out his hand to signal Zhou Honglang to continue.
"Does Chief Zhou know the blessed land?"
Chen Tianjing's face paused slightly after hearing this. If it were before, he would have been a little confused, but the family just came out of the blessed land not long ago, how could he not know?
Moreover, so many families have visited the Tongqiu Mountain Blessed Land, so I guess every family should know the news by now.
But thinking about the situation of Zhou Honglang and others, Chen Tianjing quickly understood.
Several people were running all the way, probably either fleeing or on the road to escape. It is understandable that they were unclear about what happened recently.
"Of course I know."
After hearing this, Zhou Honglang continued:
"The matter that I discussed with Patriarch Chen this time is related to the blessed land."
"To be honest, my Zhou family knew the location of a blessed land. However, the blessed land had not yet been fully conceived, so the family had not taken any action. They just covered up the blessed land and hid the news, preparing to wait until the blessed land was fully conceived before exploiting its resources. ”
"But who could have expected that current events have changed, and now even if we know where the blessed place is, we can't enter it."
"So this time, I want to cooperate with the nobles and enter the blessed land together. The nobles can get 60% of the resources, while our clan only needs 40%. I wonder what Patriarch Chen thinks?"
After Zhou Honglang finished speaking, he looked at Chen Tianjing in front of him.
But there is inevitably a trace of nervousness in my heart.
This decision was also the result of discussions between him and his clan members over the past half month.
Before the blessed land has opened its own exit, it is not easy to enter the blessed land. The help of totems is needed, but the family totems of his Zhou family have long since perished when the family was destroyed.
It is impossible for him and several other clan members to enter the blessed land, and they can only choose to cooperate with other clans.
But along the way, other families have evil intentions, let alone cooperate. Only the Chen family in front of them may still have a chance.
But despite this, Zhou Honglang still felt uneasy.
Before he told the news about the blessed land, the Chen family might have treated him with courtesy, but after learning the news, the Chen family might have had a different attitude.
It is more likely to capture a few of them, and then force the location of the blessed land to occupy the entire blessed land's resources.
But now he doesn't have many choices, and he heard that Chen Tianjing will leave Mass Burial Mountain in two days and go to Yong'an City, and there will be no such opportunity by then.
Rather than letting the family be destroyed in obscurity, it would be better to give it a try.
If he wins, the family still has a glimmer of hope for revival.
Losing is a common thing and there is no need to feel sorry.
However, after seeing Chen Tianjing frowning in thought and not showing any joy, Zhou Honglang was heartbroken and hurriedly added:
"Don't worry, Patriarch Chen. Uncle Huai'an told me this matter orally, and there is absolutely no lie!"
However, after saying this, Chen Tianjing's eyebrows still did not relax.
This made Zhou Honglang couldn't help but speak again:
"If it doesn't work out, I'm willing to pay only 30%, and the nobles will get 70%!"
After hearing this, Chen Tianjing shook his head:
"Master Zhou misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
"It's just that the blessed land is dangerous. I'm afraid the family can't get involved in this matter."
Zhou Honglang's face was dull. He thought of Chen Tianjing's choice to monopolize the resources of the blessed land, and also thought of Chen Tianjing's dissatisfaction with the resource allocation of the blessed land, but he did not expect that Chen Tianjing actually rejected his request.
And it doesn't look like it's fake. Does the Chen family really seem not interested in the blessed land they say?
Zhou Honglang said hurriedly:
"Patriarch Chen may not know the blessed land well enough. Although there are dangers in the blessed land, most of them are not fatal. With the strength of the nobles, there is no need to worry about this."
Chen Tianjing shook his head again:
"Since Mr. Zhou is also aware of the strength of our clan, he must know that our clan is just a small and unknown family. The blessed land is a resource that our clan cannot covet."
Zhou Honglang fell silent after hearing this. Chen Tianjing had said so much, how could he not understand?
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, this matter will not be known by a third person after it leaves the family hall."
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen, I will take my leave first."
After Zhou Honglang finished speaking, he turned around and left the hall.
At this moment, Chen Tianjing's eyes were also a little complicated. He didn't expect that the Zhou family actually knew about a blessed land. This was really unexpected.
After hearing what Zhou Honglang said, he was indeed moved.
However, although the blessed land is good, it is related to the Zhou family, so it is not suitable to participate in it.
Although he had changed his calm thoughts after seeing the scene of the Gongyang family's people coming to investigate, and felt that the family should be more radical.
But being radical without knowing the whole thing would only put the family in crisis.
"Brother, how is it?"
After Zhou Honglang left the hall, several other clan members who had been waiting outside hurriedly came forward and asked.
However, after seeing Zhou Honglang's face without any joy, his heart sank slightly.
"Is the Chen family unwilling to split the profits with the family 40% and 60%?"
"Or is the Chen family planning to take the blessed land alone?"
"If we had known this, maybe we shouldn't have taken such a risk!"
