Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Lu Zhanxing is full of expectations for the future.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Zhanxing continued to stay beside Lu Zhanyan as a half-adviser, while Xiao Lanjue and others returned to Yanzhou to take charge.

Taoist Xuanqi knew that the poisonous insects were no longer a threat to the Xuzhou army, so he left Xuzhou before the Mid-Autumn Festival and headed for Qi.

A war broke out again between Qi and Xuzhou, but this time the Qi imperial teacher did not appear in the enemy camp.

Because Mu Qingran returned to his tribe and planned to marry the granddaughter of the high priest.

The territory of their Mu clan was moved to a picturesque mountain range on the outskirts of Qi State. It was surrounded by green mountains on all sides and had small waterfalls. Mu Qingran sent people to build blue brick and tile houses for the clan members to live in, which was also very suitable for raising Gu. The valley was named Qingyou Valley, which was quiet and mysterious.

The Mu family no longer has to endure the erosion of poisonous miasma. It is all thanks to Mu Qingran that they can stay in such a beautiful valley.

After Mu Qingran became the Holy Son, his status in the clan became increasingly higher.

This time Mu Qingran returned to Qingyou Valley for her wedding, and the entire clan was very excited.

However, their old clan leader's grandson Mu Qingli was forced to abdicate by the high priest because of his failure in serving the clan. The position of clan leader was passed to the great elder, who was Mu Qingran's grandfather.

The old patriarch was locked up. As long as the old patriarch was there, Mu Qingli would definitely return to the valley.

The Holy Son Mu Qingran is outstanding enough. Since the poisonous insects are no longer a threat to Xuzhou, Mu Qingran decides to learn from his ancestors of the older generation and cultivate a large number of deadly poisonous insects. These poisonous insects will kill anyone who is infected with them, and are also called death insects.

It needs the nourishment of the blood of the clan members. Although Mu Qingli only has half the blood of the Mu clan, it is better than nothing.

These poisonous insects are fed with the blood of the tribe members, otherwise why would these insects obey their orders?

As soon as a person comes into contact with the poison, the insect will burrow into the skin. The insect will burn its own life and die together with the person who has been poisoned. It also requires a huge cost to cultivate it.

It was impossible for Mu Qingran to harm anyone in the tribe at will, so he could only direct his attacks against those who had run away from home.

Taking advantage of the occasion of his marriage, he spread the news that the clan had moved to the most beautiful and comfortable environment, and that members of the Mu family who had been away could come back and continue to create glory for the Mu family.

Now the entire State of Qi is in the hands of the Holy Son Mu Qingran. The former tribesmen no longer need to hide and can just live openly within the territory of Qi.

Naturally, this news reached the ears of those tribesmen who had run away from home. When they learned that they no longer had to hide like rats and could live openly in Qi, many tribesmen who had feelings for their tribe rushed to the territory of Qi.

If they rush back to Qingyou Valley before the Holy Son gets married, these tribesmen who have gone out will be readmitted.

Now that Qi and Daqian have gone to war, the only chance for these people to make amends is to take the poisonous insects to the battlefield. As long as they capture Xuzhou, the clan will no longer pursue the mistakes of these members.

If you don't rush back to Qingyou Valley, you will no longer be a member of the Mu family.

When many clan members who were away from home heard the news, they all rushed to the territory of Qi.

They left the clan entirely because of environmental reasons. Now Qi is the clan's territory, so of course they want to return to the clan and become a member of the Mu clan.

Upon learning that the Holy Son wanted to restore the glory of the Wu clan, the clan members who had been away wanted to come back and help.

Mu Qingli also received the news. He knew Mu Qingran and knew he would never be so kind.

Can members who have left the tribe really be forgiven if they return?

He thought of his mother whom he had never met, who volunteered to be food for the poisonous insects just to have the right to live. This shows how cruel the people of the Mu family are.

However, Mu Qingran is already the holy son of the Mu family, and his grandfather is imprisoned, definitely waiting for him to return to the clan to be sacrificed.

No matter what, I still have to go back to the tribe to see my grandfather.

It was a good opportunity to go back while Mu Qingran was busy with her wedding and had no time to attend.

He asked Huali to help him disguise himself as a member of the tribe who often went out to buy things, and then rushed to Qingyou Valley. He found that there was a queue outside the gate of Qingyou Valley. They were all members of the tribe who had gone out before, and they had to register.

Mu Qingli walked around and found the back door.

"Aqi, weren't you helping in the front hall? Why are you outside?" the two tribesmen guarding the gate asked in confusion.

Mu Qingli looked like a young man with a big smile on his face: "The Holy Son asked me to go out and buy some other things. I just came back. There are too many people ahead."

"Is that so? Come in then!"

Mu Qingli entered smoothly, but he didn’t know that less than half an hour after he entered, the real Ah Qi also appeared at the back door.

"Huh? Ah Qi, what's wrong with you? You went out again?" the gatekeeper frowned.

"What do you mean by going out again? I just came back from shopping outside. There are too many people in front of me. Please get out of the way quickly. Can you afford to delay the Holy Son's business?" Ah Qi said angrily.

The two gatekeepers looked at each other and finally realized something was wrong.

He immediately stopped Ah Qi, wanting to see if he was really going to buy Ah Qi.

Ah Qi was extremely ashamed and angry. He was a favorite of the high priest, in charge of purchasing for the tribe and held a high status in the tribe. Yet, he was stopped by two gatekeepers. Why was this happening?

So, Ah Qi started arguing with the two gatekeepers.

The gatekeepers had to let in a person who looked exactly like Ah Qi. They were not sure if this Ah Qi was the real one?

Hearing this, Ah Qi finally stopped making a fuss and turned into a serious expression. Who dares to impersonate me, the Seventh Master?

At this time, Mu Qingli, with Ah Qi's face, easily found the room where his grandfather was locked up, but there was someone guarding outside and the door was not locked.

When Ah Qi went in, the guards thought that the high priest had some instructions for the old patriarch, so they did not stop him.

When they heard Ah Qi ask them to move away, they all obediently moved back a few meters.

Imprisoned inside was an old man with white hair, a hunched back and a look of decadence. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground and did not react at all when he saw Ah Qi.

"Azu! It's me, Ari."

When the old man heard that it was A-Li's voice, he responded: "A-Li?"

"A-Zu, it's me. I disguised myself as Ah Qi and came in."

Mu Qingli did not reveal his true face, but the old patriarch recognized the voice as his grandson's.

"You shouldn't have come back. If you come back you will only be used as food. A-Zu is already old. It's not worth your risk."

If you die outside, at least you can leave an intact body, but in the clan, you will die without an intact body.

"Grandpa, the Tongsheng Gu in my body has fallen asleep. Even if the mother Gu dies, I will be seriously injured at most. I will then find a way to get the child Gu out of my body."

"Really? That's really great."

The old patriarch was very happy for his grandson. Suddenly his expression changed and he immediately said, "Ah Li, leave quickly and don't come back. You must live well outside. You don't have to worry about A Zu. A Zu is old and it doesn't matter if he dies. But you are different. You are still young."

"Azu..."

Mu Qingli’s only relative is her maternal grandfather.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, and Mu Qingli knew that her identity must have been discovered.

The old patriarch’s expression changed drastically: “Go from the roof!”

Mu Qingli cannot study witchcraft in depth, so he focuses on practicing martial arts, so it is not difficult for him to escape.

"Azu..."

Mu Qingli was very reluctant to leave her grandfather.

"Child, go quickly. Don't worry about me. As long as you can live, Grandpa can die with peace of mind."

The old patriarch urged anxiously, taking out a string of sandalwood beads from his neck and hanging them around Mu Qingli's neck: "This string of beads can keep any poisonous insect away. You must survive."

The noise outside was getting closer and closer, and the old patriarch urged him to leave quickly.

Mu Qingli reluctantly used his inner strength to break the roof. Standing on the roof, he saw an old woman who was leaning on a cane, with wrinkles on her face and sharp eyes. She was the high priestess of their tribe.

There is also a new chief elder of the clan.

I also saw the Holy Son Mu Qingran, who was dressed in red and had a handsome and evil look.

As for other familiar faces in the tribe, there was no joy among the tribesmen, only disgust.

"Ari, accept defeat and don't struggle in vain!"
