Chapter 721: The Eight Great Families
"Why are you telling me this?"
Chen Duo looked at Feng Sheng and asked, "Aren't your Feng family one of the Eight Great Families of Xia?"
"Because we ......"
"Stop. β
As soon as Feng Sheng spoke, Chen Duo interrupted him, and then said: "After you think about it, I advise you not to say anything to me 'because we are allies',
It's not that I don't believe in alliances, but because alliances are bigger than family interests. β
"Huh. β
Feng Sheng smiled, looked at Chen Duo and said, "Chen Shao was able to achieve such great success in a short period of time, and there is really something unique. Cooperating with Chen Shao can be much more enjoyable, and our Feng family really didn't make a mistake. β
"Get down to business. Chen Duo asked.
"The real reason is that our Feng family bet on your Chen family. Feng Sheng said.
"Bet on it?" Chen Duo's gaze changed slightly.
"That's right. β
Feng Sheng explained: "No matter what the outcome of the discussion of the eight great families is, Yuzhou will not be allowed to be annexed by any one or several families. β
"So you will support your own forces to ascend to the position of the Yuzhou family, so as to obtain benefits. Chen Duo said.
At this point, everything is actually very clear.
Yuzhou.
This is the only place where a family was not born in this summer, and in the future, there will be eight families to support agents to perform a dragon battle here.
After listening to Chen Duo's words, Feng Sheng said with a smile: "It seems that Chen Shao's heart is like a mirror, and he knows everything well, so I don't need to say anything more." β
After finishing speaking, Feng Sheng directly picked up his wine glass, drank it all in front of Chen Duo, and said, "Chen Shao, farewell." β
"Chen Shao. β
Feng Sheng left, Qin Hongsheng stood beside Chen Duo and said, "This Feng Sheng feels like he has come to tell us about this. β
"He didn't just tell us about it. β
Chen Yuanzhi tilted his head slightly, and the eyes of some small families around him flickered, obviously after hearing Feng Sheng's words just now, they began to make their own wishful thinking.
"It doesn't matter. β
Chen Duo suddenly chuckled and said, "I'll tell you the bottom line, the Chen family must be promoted to the family." β
......
At this time.
In the imperial capital, the Eight Immortals Pavilion!
Today is a special day.
The Eight Immortals Pavilion is heavily guarded.
In the huge box on the top floor of the Eight Immortals Pavilion, the people of the Xia Eight Great Family sat around a huge round table.
Each of them had a cup of tea in front of them, and nothing else was on the table.
"Since no one has spoken, I'll speak first. β
Suddenly.
A tall, thin man sitting with sharp eyes slowly spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the heads of our eight great families are gathered here today just to discuss one thing, that is, the division of interests in Yuzhou. β
"Master of the Song family, haven't the interests of Yuzhou been discussed a long time ago? Let the Wei family manage it on behalf of you, and make offerings to several of us separately every year, is there any problem?"
A stocky middle-aged man said.
"Master Li, isn't your news too ill-informed, the Wei family has been killed. Now Yuzhou has no leader, and a strong force is about to rise from Yuzhou. The head of the Song family said with a sneer.
"What if the Wei family is killed?"
Next to the head of the Li family, there was a family head who said disdainfully: "As far as those families in Yuzhou, they can also be regarded as dragons
It's just a bunch of rabble, whoever wants to rise, we can support him up, and leave the work of the Houwei family to him. β
"Master Gongsun, I'm afraid you're too naΓ―ve. β
The head of the Song family said: "I'm afraid that this emerging force is not willing to be controlled by you, and the purpose of the people is to become the family of Yuzhou, that is, the ninth family of Xia." β
"What?"
"Huh?"
"The Ninth Great Family of Xia?"
......
As soon as the head of the Song family said this, for a while, the heads of the eight major families opened their eyes one after another.
"Master Song, who is this emerging force you are talking about?" someone asked.
"Gu Luo, Chen family. The head of the Song family said coldly.
Gulo?
Chen?
I've never heard of it at all!
Several heads of the family shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of this name.
"Master of the Song family, I seem to remember that it is this Guluo Chen family that your Song family has been suppressing. Why did he let him develop?" At this time, the head of the Gongsun family said with a slight mockery in his eyes.
"That's why I said you need to be careful. β
The head of the Song family looked slightly cold, if the Gongsun family was not the Eight Great Families, the head of the Gongsun family would have been in a different place by now.
"Ladies and gentlemen. β
The head of the Song family looked at the other heads of the family and said, "This Chen family had ambitions to be promoted to the family a hundred years ago, and my Song family suppressed it for the balance and interests of the eight great families.
Now that they are making a comeback, this time, we should join forces so that the Chen family will never have a place to turn over. β
After the head of the Song family finished speaking, he looked at the people in the room.
As a result, to his great surprise, none of the other seven heads of the family opened their mouths to agree with him.
"Master of the Song family, what do you mean, let us take action and help you destroy your enemy, the Chen family, right?"
The head of the Gongsun family sneered and said, "The head of the Gongsun family, this is a family matter of your Song family, is it a little unreasonable for you to impose it on us?"
"It's a bit unreasonable. This Chen family has indeed been in the limelight recently, but he has only been arrogant a little in the two places of Guluo and Qinzhou.
This kind of strength to promote the family is simply a fool's dream. β
"Yes, in the final analysis, this Chen family is just the personal enemy of your Song family, and if you want to solve it, your Song family will solve it yourself. β
Listening to everyone's words, the face of the head of the Song family became more and more gloomy.
"You're going to regret it. The head of the Song family said angrily.
"I'm afraid it's you who regret it, the head of the Song family. The head of the Gongsun family said with a smile.
"What did you say?" the head of the Song family glared suddenly.
"Nothing. β
After the head of the Gongsun family finished speaking, he stood up, looked at all the family heads present and said, "Everyone, this Chen family has been suppressed by the Song family to Guluo a hundred years ago, and it is a small family with very average strength.
Although they are arrogant for a while, they are obviously just nouveau riche. β
"That's right, I agree with the opinion of the head of the Gongsun family. β
Beside.
The head of the Li family, who had just spoken, said: "Even if a small family like the Chen family is a momentary glory, but he does not have the background of a big family, and it is a matter of time before he is ruined.
In fact, what worries me is precisely the Zhao family, another family in Qinzhou. β
As he spoke, the head of the Li family ordered someone to turn on the projector.
A map of Yuzhou appeared on a nearby curtain.
