Chapter 170 Lei Hong's Purpose

Although the ancient patriarch said so, the clan is not a fool and will not believe the words of the ancient patriarch at all. They know very well that the reason why the ancient patriarch said so was just to not let them worry so much. However, since the ancient patriarchs have said so, it is not easy for the clan to expose the ancient patriarchs in person, so they have to smile reluctantly and pretend to be very happy and say, "So that's it. patriarch, please be sorry for the change. Don't be too sad. Take care of yourself."

The ancient patriarch nodded. Although he didn't want to pretend to be okay, he couldn't pretend to be nothing at the thought of that. However, after all, the ancient patriarch was a person who has experienced the world, and his control ability is not bad. Although he tried to retest, he still suppressed his inner worries with strong willpower, took a breath and said lightly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Unexpectedly, as the patriarch of your ancient clan, I won't let anything happen so easily. Moreover, I promise you that in my lifetime, I will not let the ancient clan collapse..." Although the ancient patriarch ostensibly wanted to inspire the people, in fact, these words were also said to himself.

Hearing this sentence of the ancient patriarch, the ancient people now felt a little relaxed and cheered from their hearts: "Long live the patriarch, long live the patriarch."

At the same time, Lei Hong's side became solemn. Although Lei Hong had a happy expression on his face, Lei Lei and others did not look happy at all. On the contrary, he was very solemn, frowned, and there was a trace of puzzlement in his eyes. They have been walking behind Lei Hong. Although they saw Lei Hong's expression on their chest, they had no bottom in their hearts. In this way, after a while, Lei Lei, who had been following silently, finally couldn't calm down and gritted his teeth and asked loudly, "Father, wait for me for a moment." As soon as the words fell, Lei Lei quickly caught up with Lei Hong and came to Lei Hong.

Lei Hong was a little stunned when he saw the situation. The corners of his eyes were upturned, and his dark eyes stared straight at Lei Lei, and asked with a puzzled tone, "Lei Lei, what do you want to do? Why did you suddenly block my way?"

"Father, I really don't understand what you mean by doing this. I thought about it all the way, but I just couldn't figure out why you put forward three or seven accounts? If that's the case, our Lei family will not have suffered a great loss. If Uncle Mu and Uncle Yue listen to this matter, they will definitely oppose it. Lei Lei held his fists, opened his eyes wide, and his face was full of puzzlement, and asked slowly.

After hearing this, the smile on Lei Hong's face flashed away and was replaced by a serious face. He turned around, looked at the guards behind him, and then asked indifferently, "Do you also want to know?"

After hearing this, the attendant nodded. A man in his thirties stood up, clenched his fists, made a show at Lei Hong, and then said respectfully, "Yes, we also want to know why you did this, patriarch? The subordinates knew that the patriarch was dedicated to the Lei family, but the patriarch made such an agreement with the ancient clan. Didn't he leave all the interests of the Lei family behind? I really don't know the purpose of the patriarch to do this.

After hearing this, Lei Hong smiled faintly, then narrowed his eyes and asked in a teasing tone, "If I said that I didn't intend to tell you the reason at all, what would you do?"

Lei Hong's sentence instantly produced a burst of ** among the whole family. Their faces suddenly became very ugly. You know, they worked hard for the Lei family wholeheartedly, but Lei Hong didn't even tell them about this. That was a suspicion of loyalty to them. Why didn't this make them an uproar?

Lei Hong saw a burst of uproar at the following bodyguards, and his face became more solemn. His dark eyes looked at the bodyguard's expression heavily and asked faintly, "Say, what will you do? I really want to know what you think now. Say it, let me know what you think."

Lei turned around and looked at the guards behind him. At this time, their faces were full of embarrasment, and they knew that they were in an endless struggle. However, Lei is also very clear in his heart that he is still really sure of the degree of loyalty of the bodyguard. To know whether a person is loyal to himself or not, it is definitely not the person's decision, but whether the person completely believes his words. Although it was a little too much for Lei Hong's follow-up bodyguard to say such words, in fact, Lei Hong is also testing whether his subordinates fully believe his words and recklessly carry out what he ordered.

The bodyguard in his thirties clenched his teeth, struggled a lot in his heart, and said slowly, "Even if the patriarch doesn't tell us, nothing will happen to us."

Hearing the bodyguard's answer, Lei Hong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile on his face. Then he turned around and looked at the crowd of the bodyguard and asked slowly, "What about you? Tell me your choice."

"Completely follow your arrangement." They also seemed to have made up their minds and said firmly.

Lei Hong nodded and said slowly, "Yes, I didn't misread you. Well, you all believe me so much, then I won't be so lonely. Let me tell you my purpose."

Hearing Lei Hong's answer, the guards were overjoyed, with surprise on their faces. Their dark eyes looked straight at Lei Hong, with a trace of expectation in their eyes.

Seeing that everyone looked so expectant, Lei Hong said slowly, "Isn't you surprised why I put forward such an unequal treaty as three or seven ledgers?"

"Hm, we don't understand why the patriarch did this." The guard said coincidentally.

"What about you, Lei Lei? Don't you understand what I mean by doing this?" Hearing the answers of the guards, Lei Hong turned his head and looked at Lei Lei, who had been silent, and asked slowly.

As soon as Lei Lei heard Lei call himself, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and immediately raised his head. His dark eyes looked at Lei Hong. After thinking for a while, he said slowly, "Actually, I was also thinking silently just now, and I was also a little confused. If I'm not wrong, father, you did this to weaken the vigilance of the ancients, because if we can't stabilize the ancients, our Lei family can't even account for the remaining 30%, so the reason why my father did this is to cooperate with the ancients.

After hearing this, Lei Hong nodded, then shook his head and said slowly, "Lei Lei, what you said is only half right. And the other half didn't say the most important aspect.

"What else?" When Lei Lei heard the words, he couldn't help but be stunned. A doubtful light burst out in his eyes and hurriedly said.

Lei Hong shook his head, sighed, and said slowly, "Lei Lei, although you have good potential, your brain is not very good. You should know that no matter how strong a person is, but if his mind is simple, he will still be killed by people in the end. Lei Can, the previous patriarch, died like this. You are thinking about it seriously and see if you can figure it out.

Lei lowered his head when he heard the words and thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't figure out. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said dejectedly, "Father, I really can't think of the reason. Just tell me."

"Alas, children can't be taught. Lei Lei, you know that in this generation, you have the most potential to be the next generation of patriarchs. This time, I will tell you the reason for the success of our alliance, but next time if you still can't think of the reason, I will definitely not tell you the reason again, do you know?

"I see. Thank you, father." Hearing Lei Hong's answer, Lei Lei smiled happily, and his face was full of faint smiles.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Lei Hong was no more out of control. He paused and said slowly, "Do you know what is most important on the battlefield?"

"It's a weapon. Having a good weapon can get twice the result with half the effort." A follower's bodyguard blurted out.

After hearing this, Lei Hong nodded and then said, "Yes, weapons are also a relatively important factor." Speaking of this, Lei Hong turned around and then said, "However, there is a more important factor."

"Soldiers, if there are no soldiers, there is no way to fight at all." Another bodyguard plug said.

"What else?"

"The person in charge of the army." Lei thought carefully for a while and immediately said heavily.

"What else?"

"..............." Everyone is trying to speak out, but they can't stop talking, because they can't think of anything at all.

"Why is there no sound? Have you finished?" Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Lei Hong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and then asked with a smile.

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly looked embarrassed, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

"How can you say that such an important thing is missing? That's food." Lei Hong suddenly increased his tone and said loudly.

"Food?" Everyone asked at the same time.

Yes, the most important thing in war is food. Without food, no matter how many soldiers you have, it will not be of any good. Take a look at how many people in Guro City starve to death on the streets because they have no food to eat. In this environment, food is so precious. If there is food, there are soldiers. We already have enough food support, but I still ask the ancients to bear our food problem, which is the necessary conditions for expanding the recruitment of soldiers. Because I plan to use this grain to recruit a large number of soldiers, which can strengthen our strength. Lei Hong said this, paused, glanced at the guards around him for a while, saw their serious expressions, smiled, and then said slowly, "You may think that I am worth exchanging such a large amount of land for a little grain. But do you know? If the Lei family itself is not strong enough, even if we have more land, we can't protect it. A large part of the reason why we were captured by the Bailuo family so quickly is that we scattered our combat power too much. As a result, the troops in each place are weak and we can't resist other people's attacks at all. Because of this, I have thought about it for a long time and feel that if I want to protect my land, I must first have enough strength, otherwise it is useless. If the ancients want to pick up this kind of bargain, let him pick it up, just focusing on the immediate interests, which is impossible to win the final victory at all. Lei Hong said that I will definitely push the Lei family back to its previous peak. Even if I die, I will complete this oath. You should know the reason why I did this now.
