Chapter 587: Tripartite Talks
The Northwest Marquis looked at the head of the Gongsun family with a gloomy expression, and really felt sorry for him. From a father's point of view, did he do something wrong? Of course not, isn't it a father's responsibility to protect his family and children so that they can live in peace?
However, the father is eager to take out his heart and let his son see it, so why does the son still not understand his painstaking efforts, but keeps being hostile to him? The fault lies in the fact that parents do not regard their children as adults who have grown up as adults with independent personalities, no matter what age they are, they still regard them as ignorant children, do not respect their choices, do not consider their dignity, and arbitrarily use the phrase "for your good" as an excuse to make all decisions for him. Such an "arrangement" approach can easily arouse the disgust of children, and the result is thankless.
"It's hard to be a parent! Brother Gongsun, if you had a good discussion with Gongsun Yu at the beginning, if he was willing to stay by himself, the relationship between your father and son would not have become so stiff. Didn't Lin Wenshu of the Lin family in Jiangnan also stay? Lin Wenshu did not have any conflicts with the family, and later took over the position of the head of the family, and he took care of the Lin family well over the years. Although it was attacked by the Shadow and the Chen family some time ago, the Lin family still hasn't collapsed, in my opinion, within five years, the Lin family will be reborn, and it is likely to be the first time to squeeze into the top ten of the Dragon Gate List!"
"Well, that kid is good, he has the style of a Confucian general!" the head of the Gongsun family praised.
"If Gongsun Yu can help the family like Lin Wenshu, the strength of your Gongsun family will definitely go to a higher level, and the ranking on the Dragon Gate List will be more stable and convincing. Northwest Hou said regretfully.
"Master Hou, I don't deny what you said, but, over the years, our Gongsun family has been sitting at the top of the Dragon Gate List, and you use the ranking of the Dragon Gate List as an example, it doesn't touch me much!" Gongsun Yi shook his head and smiled.
"Is that right? Brother Gongsun, don't you know why the Gongsun family has been able to sit firmly at the top of the Longmen list? Compared with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, which is ranked second, what are your advantages? On the disciples, the followers of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple are all over the continent, and their number and strength are definitely above the Gongsun family; in terms of masters, not to mention anything else, the number of martial sect-level powers with unique skills in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is definitely the largest among all forces. Why is the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple ranked after the Gongsun family? Isn't it because the Gongsun family has the first person in martial arts, Gongsun Jue? If someone can compete with Gongsun Jue, or even surpass Gongsun Jue, can your Gongsun family still sit firmly in the top spot? With Gongsun Yu's strength and talent, if he goes to the Demon Realm with Ye Xing, as long as he can come back alive, he will not only become the second Gongsun Jue, but may even surpass Gongsun Jue and step into the holy realm of the Martial Emperor! The Gongsun family that has appeared in the Martial Emperor is the real top wealthy family, don't you say? Northwest Hou said with a pertinent analysis.
The head of the Gongsun family nodded and said: "What the Hou Ye said is reasonable, but my idea at the time was not to ask for how much achievement my children can achieve, the family business that we have earned for several generations is enough for future generations to enjoy, and there is no need for them to do things that risk their lives, as long as they can be safe, it is the greatest happiness, now that I think about it, it is my mediocrity that restricts Yu'er's growth!
"Then have you ever thought that if one day, Gongsun will no longer be the first person in martial arts, or if he is gone, what will happen to the Gongsun family?"
"I haven't thought about this question before, because the Gongsun family is in its heyday, and no one can shake our position in the rivers and lakes, until recent years, it may be that the number of years is older, I think more, and the angle of consideration is also comprehensive, so I plan for the future of the Gongsun family, so I have reflected on the matter of Yu'er. He had a chance to catch up with Uncle Jue, but we wasted it. Although Yu'er's current strength is also very strong, he is still not strong enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a family. I only hope that the people in the rivers and lakes who can match Uncle Jue will appear later, and in a limited time, our Gongsun family can cultivate a person who can succeed Uncle Jue. The head of the Gongsun family sighed.
"Brother Gongsun, I'm afraid that there is not much time left for you!" Northwest Hou looked at the battle scene in front of the prison and concluded, "What is Nangong Rong's strength, I believe you know very well in your heart, although he is not as good as Gongsun Jue, but the difference is not too far, you see how hard he fought under Ye Heng's men, maybe it won't be long before this young man can compete with Gongsun Jue." ”
"Hou Ye, not only Ye Heng is powerful, but another young man also has unlimited potential, a small Fengbing Pavilion actually has two top masters at such a young age, you called me here today just to see these two, right?"
"Yes, I just want you to see with your own eyes what kind of strength the Blade Pavilion is, to tell you the truth, the Martial Sects of the Blade Pavilion are not only these two, if you count the Martial Sects scattered everywhere, the Blade Pavilion can pull out at least ten Martial Sects! Gongsun Family Master, how many places do you think such a foundation can be ranked on the Dragon Gate List?" Northwest Hou Xiang Gongsun Yi showed the hole card of the Fengbing Pavilion and said, directly asking how many positions he could rank, instead of asking if he could enter the Longmen List, it can be seen that he has fully recognized the Fengbing Pavilion.
The head of the Gongsun family gasped, and instantly understood the intention of the Northwest Hou to sit with him tonight, and said: "Master Hou, you can't exaggerate, this is related to the future choice of our Gongsun family!"
"I'm just worried that the head of the Gongsun family can't see Mount Tai, so I have an appointment tonight. I'm sure the people of the Shadow must have contacted you, where to go, the Gongsun family will think twice!"
The head of the Gongsun family exclaimed: "Master Hou is like a god, before I came to Chen Shuizhou, the people of the shadow did look for me. ”
"Shadow wants you to help them rescue Wu Haoren, and even deal with Fengbing Pavilion together, and in the future, they will be in charge of Chen Shuizhou with the Gongsun family, am I guessing right?"
"That's true, but I didn't say yes. The head of the Gongsun family replied.
"You didn't refuse, so you traveled day and night, came to Tiancang City in advance to have a look, and planned to find out the reality of Chen Shuizhou before making plans, right?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Hou Ye's eyes! I really plan to do so, Chen Shuizhou was originally the territory of the Taiyin Sect, and we didn't want to interfere before, but now this is a borderless land, naturally everyone wants to come and get a piece of the pie!"
"Gongsun family master, do you really not know or are you pretending to be confused? Chen Shuizhou is governed by the people I sent, and the people arranged by Ye Heng to guard it, how can it be said that it is a borderless land? You felt that you couldn't protect this place with the strength of the Fengbing Pavilion before, so you planned to rob it, right?"
"Since I can't hide it from Hou Ye, then I'll say it frankly! Chen Shuizhou is rich in products and has many mineral veins, if it can master here, it will be a great opportunity for any force to achieve cross-domain promotion! The Taiyin Sect only knows how to bully men and women, relying on adopting other people's yin and yang vitality to strengthen themselves, harming others and benefiting themselves, sitting on a mountain of gold without knowing it, but to do that thing that hurts heaven and reason, it is really stupid! Hou Ye, let's open the skylight and say something, I want to cooperate with you on behalf of the Gongsun family, what do you think?" Gongsun Jiagong naturally knew about Chen Shuizhou's affairs, and the Northwest Hou might know better than him, and if he wanted to intervene, he had to get permission from the Northwest Hou, so he directly picked it out.

"Gongsun family master, you have thought about it, if you cooperate with us, you will have to be the enemy of the shadow, and you must think clearly about the pros and cons!"
The head of the Gongsun family stared at the battlefield in front of the prison attentively, at this time, Ye Heng and Nangong Rong had already separated life and death, and Ye Heng stood in front of Nangong Rong's corpse unscathed. The battle between Elder Yang and Yun Yifeng continued, but everyone could see that Elder Yang only had the ability to parry, not the strength to fight back, and it was a matter of time before he was defeated.
The face of the head of the Gongsun family changed several times, although the distance was relatively far, but he still found something strange from the process of Ye Heng killing Nangong Rong, which was something that was difficult for others to find!
"Master Hou, I have thought about it, cooperate with you!" said the head of the Gongsun family with determination.
"Okay, I'll bring Ye Heng later, and we'll discuss cooperation with the three parties. Northwest Hou smiled.
Not long after, in the battle between swordsmen and swordsmen, Yun Yifeng killed Elder Yang, a famous man of the Heavenly Sword Alliance, and this ending surprised most of the people who were hiding in the shadows to watch the battle.
"Everyone, the show is over, the night is cold and dewy, let's go back and rest. At this time, the Northwest Hou said on the roof of the building, the voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Those who were secretly watching the battle immediately recognized the two people on the tall building, and quickly retreated without saying a word.
Ye Heng was just about to step forward to greet him, but the Northwest Hou and the head of the Gongsun family fell together and fell in front of the prison.
"I've seen Master Hou!" Ye Heng immediately stepped forward with Yun Yifeng and saluted.
"Excuse me, excuse me! Come, I've met the head of the Gongsun family!" Northwest Hou introduced.
Ye Heng and the others were secretly frightened, there are not a few people in the world who have the surname Gongsun, but who else can be so valued by the Northwest Hou, except for the Gongsun family that ranks first on the Longmen list? Only then did they know that the family who came with the Hou Ye was actually the head of the first family of martial arts, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"The future is terrifying, it is really terrifying! Ye Xing's son does not dishonor his father's name!" the head of the Gongsun family praised.
Ye Heng was shocked in his heart, only from this sentence he had guessed that the head of the Gongsun family knew a lot about him, it seemed that the Marquis of the Northwest did not hide it in front of him, and told this person all his secrets, which showed that this person had the trust of the Marquis of the Northwest, and Ye Heng also reduced his vigilance against the head of the Gongsun family in his heart.
"Ye Heng, I and the head of the Gongsun family are looking for you to discuss cooperation with you, are you interested?" said Northwest Hou straight to the point.
"Uncle Li, if you tell me something, my little nephew will do it. Ye Heng said respectfully.
"Pavilion Master Ye, what we want to talk to you about is not a private matter, but the cooperation between the three forces of the Hou Mansion, the Gongsun Family and your Fengbing Pavilion, which is very important, how dare the Hou Ye order you casually. The head of the Gongsun family smiled. He had already seen from the battle just now that this young man who was very respectful to the Marquis of the Northwest was not easy to mess with, and he must not think that he was weak and deceitful because of his self-humility.
"Then let's find a quiet place to talk. Ye Heng proposed.
"Let's talk here, there is no quieter place in the entire Tiancang City now. Northwest Hou said, and then found a clean place to sit on the ground.
Seeing the actions of the Northwest Hou, the head of the Gongsun family smiled and said: "Master Hou, your hospitality is chic, the old man has not spoken to anyone like this for decades. With that, the head of the Gongsun family also sat down.
Ye Heng glanced at Yun Yifeng, and the young man immediately flew to the top of the building where the two giants were before, holding the sword in his hand and looking down on the surroundings.
Ye Heng sat down and talked with the two seniors. The tripartite talks that would later affect the pattern of Chenshuizhou and even have a far-reaching impact on the Suncheon Empire began in this seemingly random situation.
