Chapter 607: Chapter 611: Prepared on Both Hands_1
Xuan Qing’s brows were tightly knitted because he hadn’t received such news.
What infuriated him the most was that Xiao Lingchuan had actually betrayed him!
When he had first tasked him with the job, he emphasized several times that he must not reveal that the person was wanted by the Xuan Eagle Mountain Village.
That way, Qiao Duo’er and the others would surely search the world in vain, and once they hit a dead end, he could appear, and they would have no choice but to be at his mercy.
He had envisioned a beautiful scenario, but reality was cruelly stark.
It had not even been a day before Qin Longyun came knocking at his door, what a waste!
"Big brother, don’t be angry at Third Boss; who could have expected that family to be separated from their child and have the woman take the child away?" Second Brother Xuan advised.
He also felt that the Elder Brother was sometimes overly cautious, but since the Elder Brother cared about his face, he couldn’t say it outright.
Xuan Eagle Mountain Village was a den of mountain bandits; they should have been living by robbing and plundering.
Yet now, even buying two maids was done with hands tied, which felt stifling upon reflection!
They had always been cooped up in this small place, subsisting on their own, and the spirit of being mountain bandits had been ground away!
There was no need for Imperial suppression; they would crumble from within.
Elder Xuan nodded impatiently, "Send those two maids back quickly. If you want maids, you can go to Tooth Row and pick out two who are both beautiful and sensible."
If Xuan Qing could make use of them, all the better, sparing him the constant thoughts of the old mothers of the Yin Family.
Yin Yinyue was ruthless and accustomed to treating Xuan Qing like a tool. If she were allowed to continue, he feared disaster would come sooner or later.
"I bought those people with silver. If there’s a crime for kidnapping children, it’s the Human Teeth’s problem. Why should I be the one to nod and bow, sending the child back? The people of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village are not extinct!"
Xuan Qing refused with a cold face, as there was no way he could bring himself to do something so shameful!
Elder Xuan was breathing heavily, clearly, his own brother had infuriated him. Did he really want to destroy Xuan Eagle Mountain Village to be satisfied?
There were over a thousand people in the village; how could he gamble with their futures and lives?
"I’ve told you long ago not to confront Qin Longyun to the end. Once he’s out of office, this will still be our world!"
Elder Xuan held back his anger, which was the only thing that prevented him from beating Xuan Qing up.
Xuan Qing sneered softly, "Big brother, do you think that if we just curl up here, Qin Longyun won’t have plans to get rid of us? Qin Longyun has his father-in-law as support and has also eliminated the Yin Family’s Status Power. If he adds the achievement of wiping out Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, he will surely rise swiftly. Do you think he would let go of such an opportunity?"
His words made sense, and Elder Xuan’s temper subsided considerably.
"Second brother, what do you think about this?"
Second Brother Xuan pondered for a moment, "I think Third Brother also makes a good point. The most reliable method is to be well-prepared for any eventuality."
That way, no matter what tricks Qin Longyun pulled, they could handle them all the same.
Elder Xuan nodded. Ever since Qin Longyun had dealt with the Yin Family, he’d had a feeling that something wasn’t right.
Perhaps Qin Longyun’s attitude towards Xuan Eagle Mountain Village was the same as towards the Yin Family. It wasn’t that he didn’t care; he was just waiting for the right moment, an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to his enemy.
So, some things needed to be planned now, just in case.
"The training hasn’t been neglected. Even if a large army comes, there’s no need to worry. I will order more real battles to be arranged for next year."
Second Brother Xuan said in a timely manner.
Elder Xuan agreed, "Add one more before the end of the year for peace of mind."
After arranging the live training exercises, Elder Xuan brought up a matter of the past few days. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"We must be wary of Qin Longyun. However, for such a trivial matter, we needn’t tear our faces with him. Third Boss, you should still send the people back."
