At this time, Ling Ya stood out and said, ”Father, actually, this matter can't be blamed on Salmon. When we went to the Western Mountain Tribe, Salmon was indeed discussing with that Captain about the development of the Great Moon Mountain. However, Huo Qing stopped them later on.
Salmon looked at Ling Ya with a face full of gratitude. He was very pleased that his clansmen were still standing up for him.
Huo Qing walked up to Lin Zi Chen and said: ”Master, Ling Ya is right. I went with her to the West Mountain Division last night and found out that the West Mountain Division actually contacted Duan Jinfeng. Moreover, it was also Duan Jinfeng who helped contact the Fengbei Government.”
Lin Zi Chen was rather surprised and said: ”Duan Jinfeng? What does that have to do with him? ”
After that, Huo Qing told him about what happened last night. Of course, he didn't mention anything about stealing the Earth Horned Branch in front of Salmon.
”So that's how it is. Duan Jinfeng has good intentions, but he has complicated matters.” Lin Zi Chen looked at Salmon as he spoke, ”Patriarch, is your purpose for coming here to persuade the Jia Han clan leader to move out, or is it to face this together?”
Mr. Lin, I know that you must be Captain Duan's so-called Master Lin. I came here with the intention of merging the two mountain divisions, but now that the government has decided to start construction, I really do not know what to do. Salmon said.
Lin Zi Chen nodded and said, ”Alright, since it's like this, then it's better to take care of it. Bring the people from the Western Mountain Tribe first, since the elder won't wake up for a day or two. After that, we'll prepare for the merger of the mountain tribes. Leave it to me. ”
Although he didn't know who this Master Lin was, Duan Jinfeng, Huo Qing, and even the entire Eastern Mountain Tribe trusted him so much that Salmon chose to trust him. He believed that Master Lin must have methods that ordinary people didn't have.
The moment they entered the main building, they saw a few people walking towards them. The person walking in front was a man in his forties, he had a head full of short hair and was very energetic.
However, anxiety was written all over this gentle face. When he saw Salomon, he immediately went up to him.
”Patriarch, you're back. I was just about to tell you about the conversation with Chief Chen of the Planning Bureau.”
This man was Han Feng. Although the Western Mountain Tribe's leader was Sa Meng, Han Feng's position had long since surpassed his. Whether it was in terms of brains or courage, Sa Meng was just a hot-blooded young man.
Salmon shook his head. ”Mr. Han Feng, I was just about to talk to you. Come to the living room.”
”What?” Merging Mountain Tribe? ”I don't agree, Salmon. How could you make such a stupid decision?” Han Feng slammed the table angrily and roared.
In his impression, Han Feng had never lost his composure like this before. He had always talked about everything, so why was he so angry this time?
”Mr. Han Feng, I hope you understand one thing. After all, I am a member of the mountain tribe, and I do want to develop the mountain tribe. However, I never want to do something that would forget my roots and destroy my home, making my people homeless.
Ever since Huo Qing had pointed it out, Salmon understood that many people from the Western Mountain Tribe might be willing to live in the city, but many other clansmen of the Eastern Mountain Tribe weren't willing to do so. Even if they could get some compensation, they wouldn't go to the city.
”Hmph, Salmon, what you said sounds good. Now that the authorities have contacted you and Chief Chen has decided to start work by the end of the month, do you mean that you don't want to make room?” Han Feng said.
”Yes, I can't let my clansmen become homeless. Mr. Han Feng, we can sit down and discuss countermeasures, and we can even explain the situation face-to-face with the authorities!” Salmon said.
”I won't agree. If we give up now, all of our efforts will be in vain. Salmon, what about your dream? Didn't you want to change the Great Moon Mountain? How did you become a turtledove now? ”
”Yes, I wanted to change the Great Moon Mountain, but I admit that I was too shallow. I thought that after studying for a few years, I was able to change my fate, but I was wrong. Not all knowledge can be obtained from school!”
As Salamon spoke, he fell into a deep silence, as the words of Huo Qing echoed in his mind.
”Such as?” Han Feng gritted his teeth in anger as he said.
”For example, human nature, control, ambition … All that I once thought was merely an immature dream. That was my ambition, my desire to control. However, what I controlled was the humanity of others. Thus, I was wrong. I had to change it. ”
”Change? ”Hmph, I'm afraid it's too late. This time, Great Moon Mountain's East Mountain Division and West Mountain Tribe will be relocated. Chu Jiang's Long family has already invested and the officials have approved all the procedures. Salmon, it's impossible to change it.”
Hearing this, Salmon was stunned, he suddenly felt that the Han Feng in front of him was so unfamiliar. He once felt that Han Feng was a close friend, a rarely seen ambitious person, but now he felt that this person was not his friend.
Seeing that Salomon did not say anything, Han Feng said, ”Salomon, do as you wish. Things have already progressed to this stage, and whether or not you agree will hardly affect the development of the situation. I have arranged for Chief Chen to visit tomorrow morning and bring the Earth Horned Branch of the mountain with him.”
”Earth Horned Branch?” One must know that that was a great treasure of the Western Mountain Tribe. He had even planned to take it back with him to the tribe this time. ”No way, I don't agree!”
”You don't agree?” It's not up to you! ”
Seeing that Salamon was chasing after him, Han Feng turned around and threw out a palm attack. A stream of white gas sprayed out and directly hit Salamon's chest. The latter was directly sent flying backwards, landing heavily on the wall.
