Chapter 164: Chapter 106: Million Allied Forces, Dramatic Development?_3

But now, under someone else’s roof, one must bow their head.

Thus, left with no other choice,

he could only once again put on a smile and said in a low voice to Luo Ping, the Luo Family Patriarch seated before him, “My Family Head said, if the Luo Family is willing to lend a hand, our Tang Family can offer ten percent of our total grain reserves to the Luo Family.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Ping’s interest was immediately piqued.

With the Cooling Charm, the Rain Seeking Talisman, and the Locust Removal Talisman, these three miraculous talismans,

climate, water resources, and locusts—the three major challenges—

The Luo Family indeed no longer needed to worry about anything.

However, before the first round of grain harvest,

the Luo Family did have a significant shortfall in terms of food supplies.

If the Tang Family was willing to give one-tenth of their total grain reserve to the Luo Family at this time, that would be a great boon indeed!

“Ten percent is too little, fifty percent.”

Luo Ping hesitated for a moment before stating his counteroffer.

“You…”

Tang Yuan’s eyes widened, staring intently at Luo Ping in front of him.

Just now, he was about to lose his temper.

Fifty percent? The Luo Family sure had big dreams.

Did the Luo Family not realize how much food one-tenth of the Tang Family’s grain reserve actually was?

And now they even dared to demand fifty percent.

Insatiable greed, the Luo Family was being a bit too insatiable.

…

As time trickled by.

After about half an hour of a “peaceful” exchange between Tang Yuan and Luo Ping,

Tang Yuan, the current Great Elder of the Tang Family,

finally stormed off towards the exterior of the Luo Family Ancestral Land, fuming with anger.

Meanwhile, Luo Yong, the one in control of the Luo Family’s military,

was at the moment waving amicably at Tang Yuan, saying, “Good friend of the Tang Family, come visit again next time, ha…”

As Tang Yuan gradually distanced himself,

and even completely disappeared from Luo Yong’s line of sight,

Luo Yong then returned to the room where Luo Ping was.

“Brother, you really are my brother.”

“To demand fifty percent, you really have the guts…”

Luo Yong looked at Luo Ping, who sat calmly in the chief seat, with a hint of admiration.

He wasn’t sure whether Luo Ping was driven to it,

or if this was his true nature all along.

Regardless, ever since the Luo Family began its dominant rise, Luo Ping’s abilities and the way he operated increasingly satisfied Luo Yong.

Take, for instance, the incident today.

It’s simply brilliant.

“Although, we didn’t get fifty percent of the Tang Family’s total grain reserve, securing thirty percent is still quite good.”

“With these thirty percent of the Tang Family’s total grain reserves, our Luo Family will no longer have any worries about food,” Luo An said as he spoke, while slightly squinting his eyes, stroking his goatee.

In response, Luo Ping who was sitting in the chief seat, nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at Luo Yong and said, “Once we get our hands on the Tang Family’s grains, our Luo Family will deploy our troops and advance towards the direction of the Chen Family and King of Huai Shui and the Feng Family…”

Luo Yong asked in surprise, “Are we really going to march to war?”

He had thought that his brother Luo Ping just wanted to take advantage for nothing.

“To get hold of that thirty percent of the grain reserve, we need to put on a show of force…”

“Otherwise, why would the Tang Family trust us enough to send their grain our way?”

From the head seat, Luo Ping spoke in a low voice.

Luo Yong silently nodded and whispered, “Makes sense, this makes sense…”

…

After the few had finished their discussion,

Luo Yong, Luo An, and the Luo Family Young Master Luo Chuan,

one by one, left the room.

The room, which had grown somewhat lively,

once again, returned to its usual tranquility and peace.

Deep within the Luo Family Ancestral Land, in a small courtyard emanating an ancient charm,

Luo Changfeng, sitting beneath the Stone Pavilion, learned of this matter.

He couldn’t help but slightly lift his head, looking in the direction of the Tang Family.

While looking, he occasionally brought the cool tea in his hand to his lips for a sip.

Not until he had finished the tea in his hands,

did he silently set down the ceramic teacup.

The situation in Huai Shui County really had become somewhat dramatic.

Before, Feng Wentai had wanted to eradicate the Tang Family,

by thinking about forming an alliance with three families to attack the Tang Family together.

The reason the Luo Family didn’t plan to join was mainly because they had the Cooling Charm, the Rain Seeking Talisman, and the Locust Removal Talisman as their confidence.

Moreover, even if they did participate,

they most likely wouldn’t be able to get their hands on the Tang Family’s grain reserves in the end.

Therefore, the plan for the triple-family allied forces was abandoned.

But what was somewhat unexpected…

was that the Tang Family actually sought out the Luo Family, where Luo Changfeng resided, looking for their help.

That’s because the Tang Family didn’t know that the Mo Jade Qilins and their own ancient ancestor had been killed by the Luo Family.

If the Tang Family knew that all one hundred Mo Jade Qilins had been stolen by the Luo Family,

and that one of their three great ancestors had been killed by the Luo Family,

they’d probably already be thinking about fighting the Luo Family to the death by now.

How could they possibly still eagerly seek help from the Luo Family?

…

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

At this time, the allied forces of the Chen Family and Feng Family,

boasting an army that was externally claimed to be a million strong, had successively arrived at the border of the Tang Family territory.

And the Luo Family, tucked away in a corner of Huai Shui County,

had also, over these several days, successively received grain from the Tang Family.

It was the amount of this grain and the frequency of its delivery…

that left Luo Yong feeling somewhat displeased.

“Is the Tang Family really seeking our Luo Family’s help?”

“Are they sure they’re not playing us for fools?”

“Everyone says, in Huai Shui County, the Tang Family has the most grain reserves.”

“The Chen Family, Luo Family, and Feng Family’s combined grain reserves don’t even amount to a third of the Tang Family’s.”

“But now, after several days?”

“They’ve only sent this bit of grain?”

“What exactly is the Tang Family up to?”

Within the military camp outside Qingshi Town, Luo Yong kept voicing his complaints.
