"Brother Yun He, you've seen it too. I wanted to show mercy and let him go, but he went on to speak nonsense. Tell me, can we let him go? If you try to stop me again, don't blame us for disregarding the friendship between our two families for many years!"
As Nie Que spoke, his words were sharp and he did not hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
The verbal sparring in front of Yun Ao shook slightly, and a clear and pleasant sword chant was heard.
“Uncle Patriarch, you are Yun Ao’s relative after all, I will give you enough time to consider. After harvesting all the dragon-patterned rice and holy blood jade, if you still insist on protecting this outsider, your nephew… will have no choice but to take action for the Yun family!” Yun Ao’s face was firm, and he was completely clear.
Nie Que said, "I will give Yun Ao a favor and wait until the rice and Holy Blood Jade are harvested before making a decision, so that Yun Fang can live a little longer! Come, help Yun Ao's people to dig for the Holy Blood Jade, and divide it into four equal parts after digging it up. No one is allowed to touch it. If anyone dares to covet a piece of Holy Blood Jade, the entire clan will be killed!"
Hundreds of people carried the mechanical parts and ran towards the harvested dragon-patterned rice fields. After assembling the mechanical parts, they began to dig the soil quickly. Once they reached the solid mountain, they would no longer dig deeper.
The mechanism dug the soil very quickly. In less than an hour, a large area of soil was dug out, and all the dragon-patterned rice and blood jade were divided into four parts and arranged.
The holy blood jade was red with a hint of gold, crystal clear, and shaped like jade. Apart from the blood-gold color, there was no other color. When digging, as long as you held the holy blood jade and shook it gently, the soil would fall naturally without getting stained with the slightest dust.
The holy blood jades vary in size, with the small ones being as big as a fingernail and the large ones being as big as a fist. After being weighed, they are divided into four parts.
The rice was not husked, and the golden ears of rice were placed at the edge of the field, also divided into four parts. The harvest was gratifying.
The rich aroma of rice spread for dozens of miles, and some ordinary soldiers breathed desperately. For them, the aroma of dragon-patterned rice was a great tonic.
Almost everyone was looking at the dragon-patterned rice or the holy blood jade, only Fang Yun was staring at the hollowed-out fields.
The wild dragon-patterned rice plants were sparsely spaced, and the entire field was about six acres. All the soil had been dug out, exposing the black body of Tianfu Mountain.
The exposed area was completely dark, and there was nothing else. No one cared.
An imperceptible hint of joy flashed across Fang Yun's eyes. He retracted his gaze and then looked at the dragon-patterned rice and the holy blood jade carefully.
After a careful look, Fang Yun nodded gently. Whether it was the dragon-patterned rice or the holy blood jade, one could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary.
Fang Yun smiled with satisfaction.
Before Fang Yun could speak, Nie Que suddenly said, "I have something to say!"
Everyone looked at Nie Que. It seemed that they had to completely resolve the whole matter at this time.
Yun Ao smiled. As long as this matter was done well, his position in the Changle Yun Family would be unprecedentedly stable. He could even unite with the elders to sideline the head of the family, Yun He.
Nie Que looked at Yun Ao and smiled, "Nephew Yun Ao, according to the agreement, as long as we help you solve the Yun He and Yun Fang issues, you will give our two families 25% of the Dragon Pattern Rice and Holy Blood Jade, right?"
"Of course, I, Yun Ao, always keep my word! Rather than letting outsiders get the Dragon Pattern Rice and Holy Blood Jade, it's better to give them to our own people." Yun Ao almost patted his chest to show his loyalty.
Nie Qun nodded and said, "My nephew Yun Ao is indeed trustworthy. We have finished discussing this matter. Now let's talk about the second matter."
"The second thing?" Yun Ao's face changed.
Yun Hu and others were also stunned, because when they had joined forces with the Fuyuan Yun family and the Nie family before, they only discussed this matter and did not involve other things.
Nie Que smiled and said, "Yun Jie went to look for rice, not only him, but also several friends, one of whom is Nie Hong from my Nie family. Although Nie Hong is a juren, he said before he left that he suspected there might be dragon-patterned rice near the Luanyun Peak of Tianfu Mountain, and he would definitely take Yun Jie to Luanyun Peak. And here. It happens to be very close to Luanyun Peak. Nie Hong's contribution can be divided into at least 25%, so our Nie family will take the dragon-patterned rice and holy blood jade that belong to Nie Hong on his behalf."
"You... you are despicable and shameless!" Yun Ao was furious.
Nie Que restrained his smile and scolded, "How dare you! Young people from the Yun family in Changle have no manners at all? You are so ignorant of the difference between superiors and inferiors. If the Lord of the City were here, he would definitely kill you, a young man who doesn't observe etiquette!"
Yun Ao was young after all, and his face turned red with anger.
While the two were talking, the people brought by Nie Que had already prepared for battle and blocked the way down the mountain.
Yun Hu bowed to Nie Que and said with a smile, "Brother Nie, Yun Ao was treated unfairly, so it is normal for him to say something wrong. He will be severely punished when he returns home. But as far as I know, Yun Jie gave money to his companions when he went to look for rice, and said that if they found dragon-patterned rice and holy blood jade, they would all belong to Yun Jie, but he would reward others with gold, silver or other valuables. Your Nie family is saying this now, which is simply robbery!"
"No, no, no, others might be hired by Yun Jie, but Nie Hong has a very good relationship with Yun Jie, how could they be hired. Nie Hong told us personally, he definitely can't be wrong. Yun Ao, Yun Hu, your Changle Yun family wouldn't want to monopolize the Dragon Patterned Rice and the Holy Blood Jade, right? If this kind of thing gets out, your Changle Yun family will surely become infamous!" Nie Que returned to his smiling look, and the people behind him kept speaking for him.
Fang Yun interrupted with a smile: "Old thief Nie Que, as far as I know, Nie Hong was suppressed in the Nie family. He even told me in person that as long as there is a chance, he will leave the Nie family! How could Nie Hong tell you this? You really have no shame!"
"How dare you! A junior like you have no right to speak here! You will be sentenced to death anywhere for insubordination! If you dare to say another word, I will kill you on the spot!" said Nie Que.
"Shameless old traitor, it's you who committed treason, not me!" Fang Yun looked at Nie Que, not hiding the sarcasm in his eyes.
"Alright! The Yun family of Changle is indeed extraordinary. Not only did the two scholars commit crimes together, but they also seized the property that originally belonged to our Fuyuan Yun family and the Nie family. In this case, we can no longer be polite! Prepare for battle!"
At Nie Que's command, all the people behind him lowered their chest shields. Some wrote "Song of Yishui" to summon the Black Mist Assassin, some wrote "White Horse" to summon the White Horse General, and some used Strong Bow Poem, Increased Protection Poem, etc.
The people of Changle Yun family hurriedly changed their formation and faced Nie Que's monster hunting team, chanting the same war poems in preparation for battle.
Brilliant light flashed between the two teams, cold and beautiful.
"Nie Que, you old thief, how dare you do this to me!" Yun Ao was furious.
Fang Yun, Yun He and Kang Xingzhi watched the dog-eat-dog fight with sneers on their faces.
"Yun Ao, I advise you to accept it. Our Fuyuan Yun family and Nie family only need to take half of the dragon-patterned rice and the holy blood jade, and then turn around and leave! If you don't agree, then we can only take action. Don't forget, our team has one more Jinshi, seven Juren and more than twenty Xiucai than yours, and we have nearly a thousand more soldiers! You will definitely lose this battle. By then, everyone in Juyun City will only know that you encountered a demon bear and were wiped out!" Nie Que's voice like spring thunder echoed in the sky.
"Who wants to put the blame on us bear monsters? Come, stand out and let me see you!" A voice with a strange accent exploded in the sky. It was clearly human language, but it had a monster accent.
