Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

78: Zhao Zhiyi mobilized troops, and Chuanwu returned!”Hmph, is Young Master Zhao so sure he has my Chen Family in his grasp?”

Chuanwen let out a cold snort, stepped forward, and looked coldly at Zhao Ming.

”Your Family’s trump cards have already been completely exposed—just one Essence Spirit and one Innate Master!”

”Although your Family hid deep enough, my Zhao Family can still suppress you. Father, Senior Wei, please reveal yourselves!”

Zhao Ming said with a smile, his eyes filled with the composure of someone who controlled everything.

Following Zhao Ming’s call, a hunched old man and the tall, straight-backed Zhao Zhiyi appeared in front of the Courtyard House.

”My Family now has two Innate Masters, and more Innate support will arrive shortly. Three against two, what does your Chen Family have to block us?”

Zhao Ming said with a smile, while Chen Chuanwen watched him coldly, only clapping his hands after he finished speaking.

”Uncle Mantou, throw the head to him!”

Steamed Bun threw the bundle containing the head out with a backhand motion. Chen Chuanwen gave a cold laugh and said in a low voice:

”Zhao Ming, open your dog eyes and look! The Lin Family Innate who was coming to support you has already had his dog head chopped off by me!”

Watching the head rolling on the ground, Zhao Ming’s face revealed an expression of surprise for the first time. He had not expected that the plan he thought was flawless had actually been broken!

The surroundings fell into a moment of silence. Zhao Zhiyi’s brows were tightly knit, while Wei Tian’s expression was hesitant.

”Everyone, our numbers are equal now. A fight between Innate Masters is extremely dangerous. I ask you all to consider carefully whether you want to gamble your lives to help the Zhao Family this time!”

Chen Chuanwen struck while the iron was hot, his gaze fixed tightly on Wei Tian, and a look of hesitation faintly appeared in the other man’s eyes!

”Senior Wei, do not be swayed by the opponent’s provocation. My Zhao Family...”

Zhao Ming immediately understood Chen Chuanwen’s intention. The other party wanted to use this to intimidate them. As long as Wei Tian hesitated and withdrew, the situation would immediately flip.

He hurriedly tried to persuade Wei Tian, wanting to bring up more of the Zhao Family’s advantages to make Wei Tian trust his Zhao Family.

But he couldn’t say anything, because the current situation was exactly as Chuanwen had said; his Zhao Family had no more cards to play!

Just at this moment, the silent Zhao Zhiyi suddenly stepped out. He patted Wei Tian on the shoulder and said steadily:

”Old Wei, do you still not trust me? When has Zhao Zhiyi ever fought a battle without preparation!”

Wei Tian’s originally hesitant expression settled down after Zhao Zhiyi stepped out, because he knew that in terms of cunning, Zhao Zhiyi was far superior to his son.

Since Zhao Zhiyi had stepped out, he must be hiding a trump card!

After patting Wei Tian’s shoulder, Zhao Zhiyi looked at Chen Chuanwen, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he clapped and said:

”Chen Family brat, you went to great lengths to calculate my Zhao Family’s arrangements, using strength to strike weakness, intimidating us, and turning the situation to this point. You truly deserve to be called exceptionally intelligent!”

Zhao Zhiyi said this, waved to his subordinates behind him, and then turned to continue speaking to Chuanwen:

”But you miscalculated one thing. I am a Military Official of the imperial court. Although I cannot mobilize the troops of your Longwei County, as fellow officials serving the same court, the Military Official of your Longwei County is willing to give me, Zhao Zhiyi, some face!”

As he said this, Zhao Zhiyi’s subordinate had already lit a firework, which shot straight into the sky, blooming into a red ”Wu” character!

Subsequently, Chen Chuanwen and the others turned their heads and saw hundreds of soldiers clad in heavy armor appearing at the foot of War Horse Slope, rapidly surrounding the Courtyard House.

”The imperial court’s Black Iron Heavy Armor Battalion is enough to surround and kill an Innate Master. I wonder what other methods your Chen Family has?”

Watching the heavy troops pressing down from the mountain, Chuanwen’s face turned pale. This was the first miscalculation in his life, and he hadn’t expected the price would be the destruction of his entire Family.

”Brother Zhao, how have you been!”

Before long, that Military Official from Longwei County who was about to retire led hundreds of fierce soldiers up War Horse Slope, surrounding the Courtyard House completely.

That Military Official of Longwei County, whose beard was already white, smiled as he walked into the Courtyard House and greeted Zhao Zhiyi.

At this moment, the hearts of the Zhao Family completely settled. Wei Tian’s eyes no longer held hesitation; he stood firmly behind Zhao Zhiyi. The Zhao Family had regained its morale!

”Many thanks for your assistance, Old Brother Tu. After this matter is over, my Zhao Family will surely reward you generously!”

Zhao Zhiyi politely cupped his hands to Official Tu, then turned to look at the Chen Family members. At this time, Official Tu also put on the airs of a Longwei County official and said to the Chen Family members:

”With the army here, does your Chen Family still intend to resist? Surrender early and don’t make any pointless resistance!”

Chen Changsheng and Chuanwen exchanged a look. They both knew there was no way out now. They hadn’t expected that old guy Zhao Zhiyi would actually invite imperial soldiers to intervene; he was truly getting more devious as he aged!

”Father, I miscalculated this time. I have failed the Family!”

Chuanwen lowered his head and said in a dejected manner. Chen Changsheng patted Chuanwen’s shoulder. He did not blame him, but instead comforted him:

”You have already done well enough. If luck is against us, what can we do?”

”Father does not blame you; such is fate. However, making my Chen Family surrender is impossible. We Chen Family members all have backbone; we would rather die standing than live on our knees!”

Chen Changsheng’s tone grew heavier and heavier. Finally, he drew his own long saber and pointed it at Zhao Zhiyi.

”If you want the lives of my Chen Family, you’ll have to see if your teeth are strong enough to chew through this bone!”

Once Chen Changsheng drew his saber, it represented the attitude of everyone in the Chen Family. Steamed Bun silently walked in front of Chen Changsheng, holding dual sabers, looking coldly at Zhao Zhiyi and the others.

”Come on! The Chen Family only has true men who would rather have their heads cut off, not spineless cowards who would surrender!”

Even twelve-year-old Chuanjie was infected by this resolute Aura of the Chen Family. He pointed his sword at Zhao Zhiyi and the others and roared.

”Truly ignorant of life and death!”

Zhao Zhiyi looked coldly at the resistance of the Chen Family members, his expression darkening as he said to Official Tu:

”I ask Old Brother Tu to order the siege. Brother Wei and I will personally pin down the enemy’s Innate!”

Official Tu stroked his beard, nodded, his expression turning solemn, and waved his hand, saying:

”Black Armor Battalion, surround and kill the Chen Family rebels!”

”Understood!”

Hundreds of fierce soldiers drew their sabers one after another, advancing step by step in a tight formation toward Chen Changsheng and the others, while Zhao Zhiyi and the two Innate Masters waited for an opportunity, preparing to strike!

Just at this critical moment, suddenly the sound of horse hooves arrived, followed immediately by a man’s rough, wild roar!

”Who dares to touch my Chen Family? I will leave none of them alive!”

In the distance, hundreds of cavalrymen charged straight up from the foot of the mountain, kicking up clouds of dust and smoke. The leading man was burly, holding a large iron spear, his fierce expression seemingly ready to devour people!

”Big Brother! It’s Big Brother!”

Seeing that person’s figure, Chuanjie immediately exclaimed. That was clearly Chen Chuanwu, whom they had missed for two years!

”Chuanwu... Chuanwu has returned!”

Beside them, Wang Juan saw Chuanwu’s figure, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She confirmed that it was the man she missed day and night, the man she longed for so much. He had rushed back at the most critical moment, just like when they were young; whenever she encountered danger, he would always stand in front of her.

”My eldest son... I didn’t expect you to return today!”

Looking at that figure leaping on his horse and brandishing his whip, Chen Changsheng’s eyes also grew blurry. The image of Chuanwu from his youth appeared before his eyes once again.

That young fierce tiger—Chen Chuanwu, his eldest son, had always been the backbone of him, Chen Changsheng, and the Chen Family. With him there, they would fear no storm!
