1250: Chapter 1210: Hiding in the Village 1250: Chapter 1210: Hiding in the Village After hearing Jyang Ran’s words, Dongfang Cheng became incredibly furious.

He slammed the table and stood up, saying, “This is too much, I can’t just watch them do this!”

Jyang Ran grabbed his sleeve and said, “Don’t get so worked up, let’s discuss it first.”

Dongfang Cheng took a deep breath, sat down, and looked at Lu Chuan, saying, “We must stop them!”

Lu Chuan slightly nodded, “Yes, Jyang Ran mentioned that since they have teamed up with the Lu family people, it is natural for me to take action and eradicate them.”

“However, since they plan to set up a Formation and sacrifice people from Dongfang Residence, they would need to prepare.”

“They probably won’t go there immediately.

Let’s make our move first and explore the situation in that village.”

Lu Chuan stood up, ready to leave, “Let’s go, let’s check out the situation outside the city.”

Dongfang Cheng also stood up, “Alright, let’s set off now!”

Everyone stood up and left.

They left the restaurant and walked towards the city gate.

On the way, Dongfang Cheng asked for directions and found out that Tianshui Village was located just outside City South.

The six of them left the city and headed towards the southern direction outside the city.

The size of the village was not small, almost as big as a town.

Surrounded by wheat fields, this place was a food supply point for Bai Yan City.

Walking on the dirt road, several busy figures could be seen in the wheat fields on both sides.

“Can this village accommodate a thousand people?

If your people are hiding here, it’s probably not a long-term plan.”

Dongfang Cheng continued, “They are hiding here, so they should at least not have a problem with food, but…”

“Constantly hiding here isn’t a solution.

Besides, I feel that the independent factions deliberately forced them here just to catch them all at once.”

Lu Chuan slightly nodded, “Indeed, if that’s the case, then let’s go over and inform them about the situation.”

As they walked, villagers curiously looked at the group.

Lu Chuan and his companions were conspicuous outsiders, so they attracted a lot of attention.

At that moment, a figure suddenly ran towards them from the front.

Dongfang Cheng looked from afar and saw that the girl running towards them was Dongfang Xun, whom they had encountered before.

She hurried over, excitedly shouting, “Cheng, brother, it’s really you, I’m so glad, you came to find me!”

She shouted excitedly and ran over quickly.

Then turned to Lu Chuan and bowed, “Hello, Young Master Lu, I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “I didn’t expect trouble to arise so quickly here too.”

“Yes, those bastards are inhuman!

They said they would negotiate first, but then they immediately resorted to using force!”

“The Manor Master couldn’t stand against them.

After being defeated, we were driven out.

Naturally, we did not want to fight desperately as that would cause too big of a loss.”

She sighed helplessly, “Now there’s no other way…

Bai Yan City is now under the control of those bastards, and we can only stay here.”

“However, the central residence will send someone over soon, and we will return eventually!”

She clenched her fists, her tone resolute.

Lu Chuan continued, “Do you know, actually, those people received support from the Lu family, that’s why they had the strength to deal with you, and that’s why you couldn’t stand against them.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Xun furrowed her brows, looking at Lu Chuan with some surprise.

“Are you saying that behind this matter, the Lu family is instigating everything, they are controlling everything, and our current situation is all their doing!”

Dongfang Cheng quickly added, “It’s not entirely the Lu family’s fault, your own internal problems are also severe.

I need to see the Manor Master and question him about his governance!”

Dongfang Xun sighed, somewhat helplessly saying, “We have tried our best, it’s just that those people are too greedy.”

“Then be more decisive and deal with them!

Without some ruthless measures, how can you manage so many people?” Dongfang Cheng said discontentedly.

To manage such an important resource node this poorly upset him greatly.

Dongfang Xun also lowered her head, not daring to retort Dongfang Cheng.

Dongfang Cheng, as the son of the Family Head, held a high status, not someone she, an insignificant woman from a cadet branch, could afford to contradict.

“Alright, take us there.

I want to see their current situation.”

“Alright…

follow me.”

“Some core figures of the Manor, including the Manor Master, are residing in an ancient residence that was previously purchased.”

“The rest are temporarily living in some farmers’ houses.

We still have some money, so temporary residence isn’t a problem.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “That’s good then, lead us there quickly, we’ve got urgent news to announce, the situation is very serious!”

Dongfang Xun asked puzzledly, “Is there any other serious issue that hasn’t been dealt with?”

“Of course, there is, and it’s a big one.

The people from the Lu family and the independents, they aren’t going to let you off so easily!”

Dongfang Xun’s eyes widened, her heart rate increasing somewhat.

“What?

They aren’t going to let us off?

But when we left, they said in person that as long as we don’t enter the city, all would be well!”

“Haha, they were just fooling you.”

“Really?

Are they so cruel as to want to kill us all!” Suddenly, Dongfang Xun felt a chill in her heart; they used to live harmoniously together in the same manor, peaceful and united.

Now, it had come to this.

Indeed, interests can corrupt hearts.

Before long, they arrived at the ancient residence.

“Our Manor Master is inside, though she’s hardly a Manor Master now, we just call her ‘Boss.'”

“Calling her ‘Boss’ sounds rather informal, it seems you really have fallen from grace.”

They opened the main door and everyone walked in.

In the courtyard of the ancient house, there was a large locust tree in the middle.

Under the tree, a few people were apparently discussing something.

One of them, a middle-aged woman in a white long dress, elegant and smiling.

“Village head, our time living here won’t be long.

Once the people from the central residence come to aid us, we will change the situation.”

The old village head nodded slightly, “No problem, I still believe in your strength.

If that’s the case, then continue to stay here.

This ancient house is yours anyway, and as for the situation inside the city, I don’t know much about it now, it’s up to you to handle.”

“Thank you very much.”

At that moment, Dongfang Xun came over, “Manor Master, Young Master Dongfang Cheng has arrived!”

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately stood up, her expression turning grave.

“Really?

Did Young Master Dongfang Cheng come?”

Soon after, Dongfang Cheng approached, “Don’t get excited, I’ve come with something to discuss.”
