Chapter 104: Partnership
A Lu Da scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "Why? After I get Xu Xiang’s treasure, shouldn’t the elders target me instead of her?"
A Lu Zhi looked at his elder brother helplessly, and said, "Eldest Brother, they dare not target you. There are two reasons for that. One is because you are the strongest warrior in our tribe and also our next chieftain. With these two identities, even if they want to target you, they will consider the price they have to pay for it. For example, getting banished from our tribe."
He then looked at the others and said, "The second reason is because Xu Xiang handed over her treasure to you in front of everyone. In case something happens to you or the treasure, we can use this as an excuse to publicly investigate this case. And I’m sure the elders wouldn’t give us the chance to do that."
"Also, when they saw that she gave you the treasure easily, they would think that she had more than one treasure. Therefore, attacking her is better than stealing the treasure from you. Less risky and easier to do, since she is not one of our people. In case someone finds out, they could just find an excuse to blame her and then get away freely." He said while shrugging.
After hearing his explanation, A Lu Da finally understood, and said, "Then I will let my guards protect Xu Xiang as well."
A Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "It’s better to leave Xu Xiang’s safety to my second elder brother and third elder brother. If there are too many people protecting her, the elders will notice that something is wrong, and our plan will be fully exposed. What’s more, just the two of them are enough to deal with the elite guards of the elders. You’d better arrange your own guards to keep an eye on Nalan Tuya and her mother. In case she finds something and reports it to the elders, it will be troublesome."
Xu Xiang raised his eyebrows when she heard what A Lu Zhi said just now. She looked at A Lu Yu, who always had a gentle smile on his face, and then at A Lu Qian, who had a cold face. Looking at them now, she couldn’t believe what A Lu Zhi said. However, since she has never seen their strength, she will not underestimate the two of them.
A Lu Zhi thought for a while, looked at the others and asked, "When would you like to start the plan?"
"As soon as possible." Xu Xiang replied calmly.
