C2060 The Chu Family Is at Their Wit's End(2)
" Master... Chu Yumin and I really miss our family members. Before we die, we want to see them one last time. So we gathered up our courage and went to the ancestral hall to see our family. But who would have thought that when we were hiding in a wall outside the ancestral hall of Chu family... After hearing the conversation between two direct descendants of Chu family, we finally understood the truth of the matter!"
Chu Huaizhong gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice, "They... they didn't intend to take our family and relatives away with them. Instead, they secretly locked them in the warehouse and poisoned them to death with poisonous grass!"
The entire conference hall was immediately filled with exclamations. No one had expected this. The Chu family had actually done such a cruel thing. Fann Binn frowned and said with a serious expression, "Did they really poison your family members to death?"
"Of course! We heard it clearly. Later on, we secretly captured a direct descendant of Chu family and asked him about it. Indeed, our family members were locked in the warehouse of the granary! " Chu Huaizhong cupped his fists and said loudly, "Master, please take revenge for our dead family members! I, Chu Huaizhong and Chu Yumin, am willing to work for Master! As long as Master can help us kill that old thief, Chu Yuzhu, we, the three hundred distant relatives of the Chu family, are willing to serve you like a horse or a cow, and we are willing to become your slaves! "
Fann Binn did not answer quickly, but nodded and asked Chu Yumin and Chu Huaizhong to leave the meeting hall first. At this moment, he spoke to the elders who were still whispering to each other. " Elders, if you have any objections, you can mention it. The source of this information that we have obtained this time is not really convincing, but if Chu Yuzhu really did do that... If ___ really did that, then the Chu family's distant relatives will definitely fall out with him. However, if this is actually a trap of the Chu family, it's not impossible. "
Soon, the elders began to express their views. Some of them suspected that it was a trap. It was impossible for the Chu family to have any underground tunnels. Some of them were willing to believe that this was the truth. The Chu family really wanted to escape. All of a sudden, there was a huge commotion. Some of them were advocating to attack, while others were advocating to stay put. It seemed like the elders were unable to come to a consensus.
Fann Binn furrowed his brows and pondered for a while. Then, he turned to the elders and said. "Elders, I think this is a turning point for us. Regardless of whether Chu Yumin and Chu Huaizhong are lying or not, we must take the initiative to attack. If it's a trap, I believe they won't be able to do anything to us. At least, without the defensive line of Chu family, it would be impossible for the The Chus to counterattack. After all, our numbers are there. However, we still have to be careful. This old fox, Chu Yuzhu, has many schemes and plots. We have to be on guard."
"Chief, this subordinate still feels that there might be something fishy going on here. Or else, it would be better not to make a move? If the Chu family really escaped through the passageway, we'll just chase after them." At this moment, there were still some elders who had different opinions. They were deeply afraid that they would fall into the Chu family's trap.
Fann Binn waved his hand and decided, "Alright, I've decided to attack the Chu family! All of you must cooperate with me. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished according to the family rules!"
Seeing that Fann Binn had made up his mind, none of the elders dared to say anything. They could only nod in agreement. No matter what, Fann Binn could not remain indifferent to such confidence. Furthermore, to him, the matter of Chu family had been completely resolved. Perhaps tonight would be a good breakthrough point! Therefore, he would rather believe it for once. He would launch a secret attack on the Chu family!
"Gugu, gugu..." The sound of frogs in the fields could be heard from the periphery of the Chu family. In the night sky, one figure after another quietly passed through the fields. Without anyone noticing, they arrived at the border of the Chu family, where the defense area was located! Chu Yumin and Chu Huaizhong led Fann Binn to the front, behind them. It was the largest group formed by 600 other Tianyu family families!
"It's in my arms! I brought some men with me!" Someone shouted from the defensive formation of the Chu family. Soon, the distant relatives of the Chu family emerged from the darkness and moved closer to Chu Yumin and Chu Huaizhong. When Chu Huaizhong saw the leader of the group, he revealed a joyful expression and nodded at Fann Binn.
"Chief, this is the leader of the Chu family's distant relatives, Chu Fangmin. He is willing to bring all of the Chu family's distant relatives to join you." After Chu Huaizhong said this to Fann Binn, he walked forward and shook hands with Chu Fangmin. He introduced Fann Binn to them.
Some of the distant relatives of Chu family had seen Fann Binn before. After seeing Chu Huaizhong's introduction, Fann Binn hurriedly stopped them. "Brothers, there is no need for formalities. The fact that you have turned your backs on me before the battle shows that you trust me, Fann Binn. You want me to help you deal with the ungrateful Chu family? Please rest assured, I, Fann Binn, will not only help you get rid of the Chu family, I will also help you get rid of it. I will also promise that the distant relatives of the Chu family won't have any connection with the Chu family, not only will it not involve any crime. However, we are currently in the middle of a mission. Therefore, it is not convenient for us to talk about this anymore. We will talk about everything after we settle this matter and eliminate the Chu family!"
Fann Binn's words were like a calming pill for the distant relatives of the Chu family who were feeling uneasy. What they feared the most was that they would not get the forgiveness of the Tianyu family even though they had betrayed the Chu family. As long as they did not pursue the matter, they would not be held accountable. It meant that they had already drawn a clear line between them and the Chu family, and they were now on opposing sides.
Since they had already betrayed the Chu family, they had to work for Fann Binn. Therefore, Chu Huaizhong pledged his loyalty on the spot, "Master, three hundred distant relatives of the Chu family are willing to pledge their loyalty to you. They will become the patriarch's loyal servants. Exterminate the Chu family, we are willing to charge forward to comfort the souls of our families and families in heaven! "
Since Chu Huaizhong was willing to let the three hundred distant relatives of the Chu family act as the vanguard to deal with the direct line of descent of the Chu family, Fann Binn naturally had no objections. However, in fact, he was still careful in his heart. He gave his subordinate a look. It was better to let the two hundred clansmen of the other families, who had entered the territory of the Chu family first, become the vanguard along with the distant relatives of the Chu family. They headed straight into the inner area of the Chu family.
This was mainly to prevent the long distance relatives of the Chu family from rebelling. Of course, it could be seen from the fact that the long distance relatives of the Chu family had given up on guarding the outer area. Chu Huaizhong's words were 70% credible. It should be true that he wasn't lying to him.
In fact, the entire layout of the Chu family was similar to the Yu Family's. There were defensive walls and fortifications at the border. However, there were no defenses within the family. Therefore, once the distant relatives of the Chu family gave up on defending the outer perimeter of the Chu family... The inner area of the Chu family would be a flat piece of land, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to push forward. No matter how smart Chu Yuzhu was, he wouldn't take the initiative to give up on defending the outer perimeter to trick Fann Binn into joining the fight. Therefore, the credibility of Chu Huaizhong and the rest's betrayal was already very high.
Under the guidance of the distant relatives of Chu family, a huge group of nearly a thousand men quickly infiltrated every corner of Chu family. They began to clean up the Chu family like a whirlwind sweeping through the clouds. Under the command of Fann Binn, the clansmen began to surround them from the side. With the Chu family Ancestral Hall as the center, a circular encirclement was formed. After the encirclement was formed, it began to shrink until it reached its final destination. The temple of the Chu family!
Fann Binn's team was very careful in their movements. Most of the The Chus had already gathered in the ancestral hall, preparing to escape from this place. Therefore, there were very few The Chus in other places, even if they were killed in secret. No one would be able to find out about it in such a short period of time. Therefore, all of this happened quietly and ended without a sound. The The Chus had no idea that a catastrophe was about to befall them.
At this moment, they were probably still describing their lives after leaving the Tianyu family, and what they should look like...
"Patriarch, most of the family members have already made arrangements and are ready. We can set off at any time." The chief of Chu family bowed respectfully to Chu Yuzhu who was standing in front of him. "Patriarch, we can let the first batch of people leave first. It's already late at night. I think most of the enemies have already fallen asleep."
Chu Yuzhu looked at the densely packed people of Chu family who were either standing or sitting in the ancestral hall and nodded his head in satisfaction. " Good. We can organize and gather everything here in a short period of time. You've worked hard. However, we must remember not to be impatient. The more critical the moment, we must be calm. What's the situation with the enemies surrounding us? Is there any news from the distant relatives who are guarding the Chu family? "
" That's... not true. Those distant relatives of the Chu family are just courting death. I don't think anyone will care about what news they send now, right? " The Chu family's chief asked curiously, "Besides, didn't we plot against them? No one would be willing to take the initiative to look for them, right? "
"Provoke their bad luck? They don't know about this, so how can it be called Touch the head? What, are you going to ignore them like this? I'm telling you, when we leave, you must contact them. We must let them launch a counterattack against the enemies surrounding the Chu family. We must numb the enemies. This will buy us more time! "
Chu Yuzhu frowned and said, "Go. Immediately send all the food that we can't take away to them. The longer they persist, the further away we will run. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand. I'll send someone to deliver it now. And contact them. " The supervisor of Chu family immediately nodded his head in agreement, but he could tell that... There was no respect in his eyes for lowly servants like his distant relatives. Helplessness. This was the conditioned reflex and natural habit of the feudal class. He reckoned that he would not be able to change it in a short period of time.
After instructing the butler, Chu Yuzhu looked at the time on his watch. The pointer showed that it was already one o'clock in the morning, which was also the time to escape.
At this time, Chu Yuzhu had a trace of excitement on his face. He shouted at all the family members in the ancestral hall, "Brave family members of Chu family, I will now announce to all of you. In such a critical situation, we will be leaving this land where we were raised for the first time. Leave this place and find a new place to stay in the outside world! But I, Chu Yuzhu, swear to everyone here that I will definitely come back. When I return, it will be the day I regain control of the Tianyu family!"
