Chapter 276 Smash the Luo Family to the Ground, Leaving No Way Out

In less than half an hour, the eagle led everyone to the vine-covered stone wall.

At this moment, just as dawn was breaking, the group stood in front of the stone wall. Wenwen lifted the corner of the vines, found the indentation, and tried hard to recall Luo Qianyou's movements. After a series of twists and turns, with a loud bang, the stone wall really opened.

The group quickly slipped inside, and the stone door slowly closed.

After passing through a narrow passage, we soon arrived at a central hall.

The central hall was very large, surrounded by a ring of cave entrances, with the same layout as the previous caves. It was clear that once a mountain was hollowed out, the internal structure would be no different.

However, the caves here have no doors.

Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan went into each hole one by one from the left to check, while the three Wen siblings started from the temporary office on the right.

After going around the circle, everyone's previous ideas were confirmed.

Besides gold ore, there is also refined iron ore here, and a lot of weapons, even more than in the back mountain of the manor before, enough for a 100,000-strong army to launch a major battle.

A large portion of the refined iron ore in Zhongzhao Kingdom comes from the northern desert. It is not that there is no iron ore elsewhere, but there is not as much of it as in the northern desert, and the purity of the ore mined from the northern desert is not as high.

There is still a lot of refined iron ore in the caves. It would have been impossible to fill these caves without four or five years of accumulation.

As for gold ore, needless to say, with the nearby mountains as its stronghold, there's no doubt about its quantity.

After a cup of tea, everyone returned to the central hall and gathered there, but no one spoke.

Wenwen wanted to break the silence, but didn't know where to begin. After hesitating for a long time, she said hesitantly, "Father, Second Uncle, we've found so much evidence. Can we finally crush the Luo family this time?"

The two elders remained silent, but Wen Chengbin suddenly became agitated, "Yes, crush the Luo family, leave them no way out."

Wen Chengjian clenched his fists. "Father, Second Uncle, our family can finally clear our names. Just tell us what you need, and my second brother and I will do our duty."

Wenwen also stated, "Me, me, and me."

Wen Qilin laughed and said, "What's the rush? It's a big family matter, and everyone will definitely have to contribute. Don't worry."

Wen Qiyuan: "It's a big family matter, so we definitely need to discuss it with your grandfather, your uncle, and your third uncle as well. It's not too late for the whole family to sit down and discuss it before taking any action."

Wen Chengbin: "Yes, yes, we mustn't alert them."

Wen Qilin: "That makes sense. Let's go then."

Wen Chengbin: "Let's go? Back to the valley?"

Wen Qilin: "Yes."

Once outside, the vines on the stone wall were restored. Wen Chengbin summoned the eagle, and the eagle took off with a glide, leading everyone towards the valley. Aying knew the location and was probably pointing the way from the side.

With convenient transportation, it's easy to go anywhere, saving time and avoiding ground-level visibility.

Eagles can fly thousands of meters above the ground. Even the most discerning person on the ground can only see a black dot in the sky. As for the Wen family members sitting on the back of the eagle, no one can see them at all.

So, one evening more than a month after they left, as wisps of smoke rose from the bamboo grove in the valley, several birdsongs rang out from the valley floor, their voices high-pitched and melodious.

Today, everyone at the Bamboo Courtyard is present. After finishing their cultivation, they have all gathered here and are busy cooking.

Hearing the bird's chirping, everyone thought it was a warbler and rushed out of the house, stopping to look up.

A huge eagle slowly landed on the open ground in front of the bamboo courtyard. On the eagle's back sat their family members, several of whom had been away for more than a month.

Everyone standing in the bamboo courtyard, young and old, was dumbfounded.

Wenwen jumped off the eagle's back, followed by Wen Chengbin and Wen Chengjian, and finally Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan.

Wenwen looked at her stunned family, took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly, "Grandpa, Grandma, we're back!"

Her voice was crisp and sweet, waking everyone from their reverie.

Once the children realized what was happening, they rushed towards their older siblings like little firecrackers.

"Sister, you are back."

"Big brother, second brother..."

The two elders, Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan, were neglected by the children. Knowing that the siblings had a good relationship, the two went to greet the other members of the Wen family. After that, all the adults went inside, while the younger generation stayed outside.

Those who stayed outside, the younger ones, clung to Wenwen and her two siblings.

Wenqing: "Sister, who is that big bird? Can we sit down for a bit? Just for a little while..."

Wen Chengmo: "Second brother, I'd like to sit down."

Wen Chengyu: "Big brother, what does it feel like to sit up there?"

"..."

Faced with the questions from the children, Wenwen and her two siblings could only exchange knowing glances.

On the way back, everyone had discussed this issue. The appearance of the eagle would definitely surprise the family. Rather than making everyone guess, it would be better to just introduce it openly from the beginning. Of course, it's certain that the younger siblings would like to experience it.

However, whether or not this experience is possible requires the eagle's permission.

Although the eagle was Wen Chengbin's demon beast, it could not disobey Wen Chengbin's requests. Out of respect for the demon beast, Wen Chengbin still had a friendly exchange with it.

So, at this moment, Wenwen handed the question to Wen Chengbin: "You should ask your second brother about this; your sister can't make the decision."

Wen Chengbin smiled and said to his younger siblings, "Let me introduce you. This is called Brother Eagle. It is my second brother's monster. If you want to ride it, just ask Brother Eagle. It'll be fine if it agrees."

Monster?

This made everyone incredibly envious. Whether it was younger siblings, older sisters, or cousins, they all gathered around the eagle and chattered excitedly.

At first, the older sisters didn't dare to get close, but the children were not at all hesitant. They rushed over and started to act cute and charming, taking out snacks from their pockets and handing them to the eagle.

Yao Xiaomi: "Brother Eagle, I have some peas here, they're delicious, do you want some?"

Wen Chengyu: "Brother Eagle, I have some candy for you."

Wen Qing: "Brother Ying, Rui Rui and I caught a few worms. We'll give you half and the rest to A Ying."

Upon hearing this, Aying, who was sitting idly on the back of the eagle, flapped her wings and flew to Wenqing, saying, "Hmm, is there anything else about me?"

Wen Qing said with a smile, "Well, the teacher said that birds love to eat insects. Rui Rui and I have caught a lot recently. Look, there are so many. Here, take half of them. Can you put in a good word for us with Brother Eagle?"

Aying: You think you can bribe a bird with a few little bugs? Humph, what a precocious little girl.

Having no other choice, Aying could only seek help from her master.

This scene left Wenwen and her two siblings both amused and exasperated.

Based on the principle that everyone should have a share.

Finally, the eagle led everyone in taking turns flying low in circles a few times before stopping.

After playing around, dinner was served.

After being away from home for more than a month, we ate and chatted.

Especially when he talked about the scene of encountering the eagle, Wen Chengbin's storytelling skills, with their ups and downs, amazed everyone, and the lively dinner lasted from evening until late at night.

At midnight, Wen Yuanqian, along with the men of the Wen family and Wen Wen, arrived at the back mountain of the Bamboo Garden.
