Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Long Batian's promise. Long Batian was the youngest War God in the Da Qin War Department, and his strength was formidable.
With Long Batian making a move, Li Xiaotian was sure to die!
Furthermore, their families would forge a good relationship with Long Batian because of this, and their families could elevate to another level by leveraging Long Batian's influence in the future!
"So, the most important thing now is to find Li Xiaotian! Force him out!" Li Weihai said with cold eyes.
In fact, Li Weihai wanted to kill Li Xiaotian more than anyone else present because he harbored a suspicion.
Li Zhen's son was named Li Tian, who was his grandson. When he was killed, his face was disfigured, so it was impossible to determine if the child who died was Li Tian.
The suddenly appearing Li Xiaotian had similar names, and he had crippled Li Chaoyue and openly declared he would destroy the Li family in ten days.
This made Li Weihai extremely vigilant and suspicious. Therefore, regardless of whether the other party was his deceased grandson who had come back to life, he had to die!
"Grandpa Li, my granddaughter has an idea, although it's a rather unsavory method. But I believe it will definitely draw Li Xiaotian out."
At this moment, Zhao Lu, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, spoke up, looking eager, while secretly glancing at Long Batian, feeling a slight surge of joy.
"Zhao Lu, what nonsense are you talking about? Where is your place to speak? Hurry and step back!" The Zhao family patriarch immediately reprimanded her. His granddaughter insisted on coming along and offering suggestions in such a setting.
Didn't she see who was seated here? Anyone of them was a highly respected figure in the outside world. If Zhao Lu said something wrong and displeased the people present, wouldn't it implicate their Zhao family?
After being reprimanded, Zhao Lu's face was filled with grievance. Just as she was about to leave the hall, Li Weihai spoke.
"Young lady Zhao, tell us your idea first. You young people have many ideas, perhaps yours will be useful?"
Li Weihai said with a smile, glancing at the Zhao family patriarch, and spoke unhurriedly.
"Brother Zhao, you too. We are all here for a common enemy. As long as we can eliminate Li Xiaotian, whoever proposes the suggestion will be credited with a great contribution!"
"Old brother Li is right." The Zhao patriarch nodded, appearing to take his advice, then looked at his granddaughter Zhao Lu and said with a smile.
"Zhao Lu, then tell the family heads your idea."
"Yes, Grandpa." Zhao Lu acted like a well-behaved girl, but she was internally excited. She had made the right bet. As long as her idea was adopted by everyone, she would have made a great contribution, and the heads of the various aristocratic families present would remember her!
"Grandpa Li, War God, everyone, you all know that Li Xiaotian caused trouble at our Zhao family."
Zhao Lu spoke, appearing humble, and continued.
"That's because his wife, Ye Qingmei, is the daughter my third uncle lost contact with years ago. And the last time Li Xiaotian caused trouble at the Zhao family, it was to have Ye Qingmei reunited with her mother, Fang Yuan, and to threaten our Zhao family not to disturb Ye Qingmei's life."
Everyone listened quietly to Zhao Lu's words, waiting for her to continue.
"Fang Yuan left the Zhao family with Li Xiaotian's family that day and hasn't returned yet."
"Therefore, Fang Yuan must be with Li Xiaotian's family now. Even if they aren't together, she is with Ye Qingmei and her mother."
"If we find a way to get Fang Yuan to bring out Ye Qingmei and her mother, then with Li Xiaotian's wife and daughter in our hands, even if he wants to continue hiding, he probably won't have a chance, right?"
After Zhao Lu finished, she revealed a faint smile and retreated behind the Zhao family patriarch.
The people in the hall listened to Zhao Lu's method, and their eyes lit up. Although this method was somewhat shameful, it had to be said that with his wife and daughter captured, Li Xiaotian would definitely appear.
Everyone in the hall revealed a faint smile, and they all looked at Zhao Lu a bit more. As expected, women were the most poisonous. Fang Yuan was Zhao Lu's aunt, and Ye Qingmei was even their Zhao family member. Zhao Lu used them without any hesitation.
"Heh, this is a good idea, little girl Zhao. You've earned some credit." Li Weihai said with a smile, then looked at the Zhao patriarch and continued.
"Brother Zhao, since this method was proposed by your granddaughter, the task of carrying it out falls to your Zhao family. Your Zhao family only needs to lure out Li Xiaotian; the rest will be handled by us."
"Old brother Li, this..." The Zhao patriarch's face suddenly turned awkward. If no one knew, then their Zhao family would do these things, but with so many people present, once their Zhao family did this, their reputation would be completely ruined.
Thinking of this, the Zhao family patriarch couldn't help but hate his granddaughter. Among those present, only his Zhao family was the weakest. The other families clearly did not want to do this, so only their Zhao family had to do it.
"Heh, Zhao family patriarch, this matter will be handled by your Zhao family. You are all relatives with Fang Yuan and Ye Qingmei, so it will be easier for you to trick them out," the Zhang family patriarch said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. This matter will be credited to the Zhao family. If Li Xiaotian dies, we other families will remember the Zhao family's contributions," the Sun family patriarch said.
The Zhao patriarch sighed in his heart and could only agree. Although these family heads spoke kindly, if he refused, they would find another way to force him to agree.
Zhao Lu's face turned pale, obviously realizing the seriousness of the matter. She regretted it immensely. However, after a moment, she thought that she could appear before so many family heads, and perhaps in the future, she might even have the honor of joining one of them. If that happened, the reputation of the Zhao family would no longer matter to her.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lu felt much better. Sacrificing the Zhao family's reputation for her own benefit. Anyway, she had no losses. At worst, after she married into a wealthy family, she would help the Zhao family more.
"We hope the War God will take action in time then," Li Weihai said to Long Batian.
Long Batian nodded, his tone full of disdain: "Don't worry, once Li Xiaotian appears, I will cripple him. As for whether he lives or dies, you can decide for yourselves!"
"Thank you, War God." Li Weihai quickly thanked him, and the other great family heads also expressed their gratitude.
"War God, for the War God Banquet a few days later, we will personally attend to celebrate your achievements!"
Long Batian nodded. He now controlled the Long family and the Song family, and would definitely establish a new aristocratic family of his own in the future. At that time, he would inevitably have to deal with these aristocratic families.
Therefore, forging a good relationship with these families for this matter was quite worthwhile.
Long Batian's eyes flickered, full of anticipation. The War God Banquet, a banquet held for him by the Da Qin War Department, probably few War Gods in the Da Qin Empire had such treatment, right?
In three days, it would be the time for him to descend upon the imperial capital. At that time, the entire imperial capital would only have him as the protagonist!
