Chapter 1118 Discord within the clan
The Prayer Mountain Jade Tribe is different from the Wood Tribe, which is rich in spiritual wood, and the Weishui Tribe, which has rich copper mines. It only has a small amount of jade minerals and jade carving craftsmen with exquisite skills.?
The skills of top-notch jade and craftsmen alone are enough to make the Jade Tribe one of the six major tribes in the northern Chong Kingdom, because the rare jade carvings they produce every year are a good thing that is in short supply for the nobles of the three ancient countries.
The jade artifacts of the Jade Clan brought considerable benefits to the tribe members, and also made the Chong Kingdom royal family value them very much, but it also made the greed of some people continue to grow. Some elders kept lobbying the current patriarch Nan Guan to allow him to expand the excavation of jade mines near Prayer Mountain, so that he could get more jade and get greater profits.
However, Nan Guan flatly rejected this suggestion because the ancestors of the Jade Clan had a legacy and should not mine too much jade ore. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to the creatures in the mountains and would also cause serious consequences of the mine drying up and no longer producing jade.
Although Nan Guan had a good intention from the overall situation, some people didn't appreciate it. The elder of the Jade Clan Hengsu was the one who was most keen on mining new mines. This guy has five sons, all of whom are strong people in the deep red realm. With their powerful strength, they are domineering in their clan and hardly take the leader of Nan Guan seriously.
But Nan Guan is not a soft persimmon, so of course it is not tolerated that the other party will do anything too recklessly. Both sides will become incompatible.
The great changes within the clan directly led to the long-term disagreement between Nan Guan and Hengsu. In the end, Elder Hengsu said that he wanted to lead some of his tribe members to escape from prayer and start a new job.
Nan Guan was so angry about this incident that in the end, in order not to be divided, he had to agree to the other party's rude request and hand over the power of mining the new jade mine to Hengsu.
But even so, it only slightly curbed Hengsu's ambition to occupy the Jade Clan. Recently, this guy has started to stir up trouble again and cause trouble.
First, Hengsu's eldest son used a trivial matter as an excuse to hurt another elder, and refused to apologize. Nan Guan's patriarch handled it impartially and sent someone to take down Hengsu's eldest son, and hit the guy with three hundred whips to show punishment.
The owner of the dog is also determined by the owner, not to mention that he is Hengsu’s favorite eldest son. The powerful elder suddenly felt that he was slapped by Nan Guan. He immediately came to find Nan Guan and made a big fuss, and both sides almost started to fight.
However, Hengsu was a perplexed man this time and he didn't have any reason, so he was embarrassed and ridiculed by many tribe members and elders present and left in a mess. This incident was born not long before Mrs. Nan returned to her parents' home with her children.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Nan sighed: "Oh, Elder Heng is a narrow-minded person and will retaliate. My husband is worried that he will take his anger on his family, so he let me go back to my parents' home for two days."
Hearing this, Guan Heng frowned slightly and asked, "But why did you suddenly rush back to prayer to cross the mountain?"
"That's right. Last night, I stayed well at my parents' house. Suddenly, a tribe member came to inform me that my husband accidentally cut his hand while carving the jade carving. Although the injury was not serious, he needed someone to take care of him. Therefore, I hurried back."
"Where is the tribe member who informed you to go back?"
"Well..."
Mrs. Nan gently patted the youngest son who was afraid of being crammed in the cradle, then recalled it carefully before hesitating: "When I met those evil thieves, the tribe members who reported the news were obviously walking on the side of the carriage, but when the crowd became chaotic, I realized that he was gone and there was no body on the ground."
After hearing the other party talk about this, even Tianlin, Agou and Ruotao felt a little strange: "There is such a thing?"
"Mrs. Nan, if I expected it would be fine, the person who informed you of the injury of the patriarch must have something to do with Hengsu. All of this should be designed to trap you and your child."
As soon as Guan Heng said something, the woman was immediately in a cold sweat. She stammered and said, "Guan, Mr. Guan, are you sure about this?"
"Well, that tribe member is responsible for luring you out. When he met a thief on the way, he immediately retired and hid his whereabouts."
"If all this can be successful, Hengsu can completely avoid suspicion and stay out of trouble. It's a pity that you escaped and met us."
Guan Heng said: "I think if those bandits want to remedy, they should send someone to ambush along the way. As long as you appear alive, you will definitely become their target."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in front of him, and Guan Heng raised his lips and sneered: "Look, everyone is here, Guiguixiao, these guys are here."
"Ga, gambler--" A team of more than ten riders galloped in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived near Guan Heng and the others. The one who was the one who shouted immediately: "Look, it's Nan Guan's wife!"
"Haha, this girl is not dead, hurry up and catch it, it is more useful to live!"
"Swish swish swish swish!" The wild and rough bandits pulled out their weapons and rushed over. The few people in front also shouted: "Except Mrs. Nan and the children, everyone else will kill--"
"Looking for death!" Tianlin's red horse was closest to those people. She suddenly showed off her two short swords and rushed over. There was only a "crack" sound, and the weapons in the thief's palms broke and fell to the ground one after another. Just as these guys were stunned and at a loss, Guan Heng and Ruotao had already jumped over at the same time.
"Puff!" The palm of a bandit holding the spear was suddenly cut off by the thunder-swalking blade. The guy roared in pain and was immediately kicked by Guan Hengfei: "Go down."
"Puzzle." The moment the man fell off his mount, all the minions next to him were knocked to the ground by Ruotao, Tianlin, Ghost-Tien Tiger, and Mountain Crown. They were either killed or injured.
"Oh no, go quickly-" Two guys saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned their horse's head and fled to the distance. But at this moment, the elephant snake-like bird that had been accumulating for a long time croaked and sang its wings and feathers, soared out.
"Swish!" The sharp bird beak suddenly penetrated one of the vests, like a snake bird twisting hard again, and moved like electricity in an instant, "Crack!" His claws swept through the other side's door, immediately scratching his face.
"Bang!" Guan Heng stepped on the bandit's back with his feet and shouted coldly: "Say, who are you? Why do you attack Mrs. Nan?"
"Bah, don't even think about knowing anything from my mouth..."
"I still want to play this trick? It's useless." Just as the other party was planning to use the same trick again and attempted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, Guan Heng swung his fist and fell on his cheek: "Bang!"
