Chapter 525: Urban Legends

The Supreme Elder of the Chen family felt inexplicable sadness in his heart, he originally thought that the Chen family would wake up after this setback and no longer participate in the action of the shadow, but he didn't expect that the wounds of the Chen family were still bleeding, and the pain he suffered had not disappeared, and he actually wanted to participate in the disputes of the Shuntian Empire, would he go further and further on the road to death?

"Jianmu, the foundation of our Chen family is in Jiangnan, why should we participate in the struggle for the throne of the Shuntian Empire? The family elite goes north, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, our strength in Jiangnan will inevitably be weakened, and the imperial court is originally suppressing us, isn't this helping the imperial court weaken its own strength? Once we can't keep our foundation, our Chen family in Jiangnan is likely to be removed from the rivers and lakes!" Elder Taishang said worriedly.

"Uncle Shi, I understand what you mean, but you should also know the truth that eggs can't be put in the same basket. Rather than being suppressed in the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to go north to seek greater development. Judging from the current situation of the Shuntian Empire, it is very likely that the third prince will ascend to the throne, but the situation is still very anxious, as long as our Chen family helps him, he will stand out. When the third prince ascends the throne, our Chen family will definitely be courteous, and with his support, we will definitely make great achievements in the Shuntian Empire. Turning around and going south, combined with the strength of our Jiangnan, the strength of our Chen family will definitely be unprecedentedly strong, and when the time comes, our Chen family's ranking on the Longmen list will definitely be able to rush into the top ten! At that time, we will be able to take charge of Jiangnan again, and the imperial court will have to be obedient when it sees us!" Chen Jianmu imagined in high spirits.

"Then have you ever thought about what if the third prince fails to seize the throne?" Elder Taishang didn't want to hit him too hard, but just reminded him kindly.

"How could the Three Princes fail? As early as when the Lord of Shadows led his troops to Dongning City, the shadows they were hiding in the imperial capital of the Shuntian Empire were activated at the same time, and they did their best to help the Three Princes ascend to the throne. Because the Shuntian Empire is fighting everywhere, the imperial capital's troops are seriously insufficient, and the three princes have the help of Ouyang Yunqing, who holds real power, and it is only a matter of time before they ascend to the throne. Now we just need to stretch out our hands to give him a hand, that is a great merit, this is a great opportunity that has not been encountered in a century, we must seize it, and we must send troops as soon as possible, and we may not change later. Chen Jianmu said confidently, "This is the plan we made before attacking the Lin family, but I didn't expect that we didn't take down the Lin family, which affected the perfect plan of the shadow." However, as long as we continue to proceed according to the original plan, we can still complete the Shadow's plan to control the Suncheon Empire!"

"Jianmu, this matter is not trivial, you must think twice!" Elder Taishang knew that he could not persuade Chen Jianmu, so he could only remind him again.

"Uncle Shi, don't worry, I will personally lead the team to the north this time, and it won't be long before we will be able to return triumphantly, and then it will be the time for us to slap the face of the Imperial Court of the Yingtian Empire! Uncle Shi, you act steadily, and the forces in the south of our Jiangnan will depend on you to protect it! We will go this time, as soon as it is January, and if it is slow, it will be March at the slow, and it will be hard for you during this time!" Chen Jianmu did not think about it at all, and directly stated his plan.

"What do you mean?" Elder Taishang knew that he could not persuade Chen Jianmu to return, so he turned to ask for the opinions of others.

"I listen to my eldest brother, I also want to go to the Shuntian Empire! When he attacked the Lin family, he didn't take me with him, saying that I acted recklessly and was afraid of ruining a big thing, but what would the result? If I was here, let me deal with Lin Wenshu, maybe it wouldn't be the current situation!" The old man who didn't have a good temper said, this kind of thing can only be said by a person like him who speaks and does things recklessly, if it weren't for the fact that everyone is a family, others don't care about him, and on another occasion, just his words, he will immediately offend a group of people! When he said this, he directly brought Chen Xingyuan in, and he had the meaning of accusing him of unfavorable command and improper use of people.

"See the fire, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Jianmu immediately stopped, but everyone else knew the temperament of this elder, and they didn't care, someone continued the topic just now, "I also agreed to send troops to the north, after all, Shuxian has been secretly operating there for so long, and she really needs a helper now, at this moment, if we don't help her, who will help her? Even if we don't help the third prince to ascend to the throne, it is also appropriate to send some people to protect Shuxian's safety." Besides, with Shuxian's intelligence, maybe it will be better for our Chen family. She wrote to us before and asked us to send someone over to assist her, but because there were too many things to deal with on our side, and we didn't have the skills to do so, we didn't send someone over in time. ”

"Well, since you have decided to go north, this matter should be sooner rather than later, Jianmu, you act as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be changes later! It is best to make sure that the manpower will leave today, the imperial court will definitely send someone to monitor our Chen family, you will disperse and leave, creating the illusion of going to various damaged industries to check, after leaving Jian'an City, you must go north to converge, you must not delay along the way, you must go to Yong'an City as soon as possible. "Elder Taishang knew that he couldn't change everyone's decision, so he immediately made a decision, no longer dissuaded, and immediately let them go to the Suncheon Empire.

Elder Taishang understands that no matter who is right or wrong, it is only the future judgment, and for the current Chen family, there can only be one voice from top to bottom, so that everyone can be closely united. The current Chen family can't afford to be divided, even though he doesn't agree with the choice to go north, but in order to maintain the stability of the Chen family, he can only reserve his opinion.

The Chen family quickly agreed on a list of people to go to the Shuntian Empire, and arranged it immediately after the meeting, and starting that afternoon, people left the Chen family one after another and scattered in all directions. The people sent by the Yingtian Empire to monitor the Chen family naturally found that someone from the Chen family had left, however, in the past few days, the Chen family gathered people from all sides, and there were too many people in and out, and there was no handwriting engraved on the faces of these people that I want to go north, how could the people who were monitoring know their true whereabouts, so they didn't take it to heart, but they reported that the number of people from the Chen family going out today had increased significantly, and the people above didn't care too much about this situation, but just told them to continue monitoring, which led to the Chen family leaving Jian'an City smoothly and embarking on the road to the Shuntian Empire。 520

It can be seen from this how accurate the judgment of the elder of the Chen family is, only two days have passed, and the people of the Chen family have almost gathered up, and if anyone goes out, they will be closely monitored by the people sent by the imperial court, and even where he has been, what he has said, and what he has bought will be recorded in detail, and the control of the Chen family has become tighter in an instant. If you act again at this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the people and horses sent by the Chen family to the Shuntian Empire to leave Jian'an City smoothly.

Under the strict requirements of the Supreme Elder, the Chen family resolutely could not go out unless necessary, and ordered everyone to settle down and practice seriously, although people were not used to it at first, after all, these descendants of the Chen family enjoyed their success, did not experience any hardships, and relied on the power of the family to eat, drink and have fun, and there were only a few people who could calm down and practice hard. Now that they are all locked up, under the high pressure of the Supreme Elder, and under the strict enforcement of the clan rules in the Law Enforcement Hall, the disciples of the Chen family gradually regained their hearts and began to practice quietly, and slowly cultivated a group of outstanding disciples, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Although Elder Taishang's move did not prevent the Zhao royal family from continuing to suppress the Chen family, it also avoided the disaster of blood and light.

The court of the Yingtian Empire thought that the Chen family would be dissatisfied, and would send people to make trouble or assassinate important ministers in the court, and even assassinate the royal family, in order to vent their dissatisfaction, the court of the Yingtian Empire was already ready to kill the Chen family at any time, but the Chen family obediently nested in the clan, except for daily purchases, no one left the Chen family at will, completely looked like a submissive little daughter-in-law, and never resisted the suppression of the court, if you want to deprive me of my rights, I will hand over the rights, if you want to occupy my property, I will give you the property, and there is no even a bargaining link。 Slowly, the Zhao royal family also relaxed their vigilance against the Chen family, and even secretly planned how to protect the Chen family, in case the Lin family was too strong to be controlled, they would continue to support the Chen family and let them continue to compete with the Lin family.

After the Lin family's affairs were dealt with, Ye Heng and Lin Qingshuang said goodbye to Lin Wenshu and his wife and returned to Lugou Village. Lugou Village now has a population of more than 200,000, and because there are so many villages and towns that have been destroyed by the ghosts, a large number of refugees have been left homeless and have to leave their homes. On the way to exile, after hearing that Lugou Village was a safe place, refugees who had been wandering around came here en masse, causing the population of this originally small village to increase rapidly!

Fortunately, the main forces stationed here are all powerful forces on the Dragon Gate list, and they are already wealthy, plus after eliminating the ghosts, they have captured a lot of supplies. Although the influx of a large number of refugees has caused a lot of problems in Lugou Village, as long as the problems can be solved with money, it is not a problem, because the garrison of Lugou Village has money in their hands!

A large amount of money was spent, a large number of skilled craftsmen were invited from all around, refugees who came to take refuge were hired to take local materials, and roads were opened to build roads, ditches and bridges.

The houses were used to house the refugees who had come to take refuge, and in order to provide for the refugees with income and support their families, Lugou Village continued to build roads in all directions. After the road was built, Lugou Village immediately became a rare transportation hub in Jinzhou, and soon the economy here prospered, becoming a feng shui treasure for many entrepreneurs to come to pan for gold, thus creating a large number of wealthy people. In the end, the fame of Lugou Village grew, attracting more big forces to establish branches here, and it became the new economic center of the Shuntian Empire, and finally the scale of Lugou Village even surpassed that of Dongning City, and was automatically renamed Lugou City.

Because of the existence of Lugou City, Jinzhou has become a veritable "golden" state! Many young people with dreams have come here thousands of miles to work hard and work hard to realize their golden dreams!

Of course, the development of Lugou Village has made the initial investment of a lot of manpower, financial resources, energy and material resources of several forces have been greatly rewarded, Ye Heng and the other four forces on the list of the four dragon gate jointly formed the management organization was just to settle the refugees, but I didn't expect to be unintentionally planted in the willows, in the end, each force made a lot of money here, if it wasn't for the headquarters not to change easily, some forces even wanted to move the headquarters here. However, the branches established by the major forces here are equally powerful, and there are heavyweights here all year round. The major forces attach no less importance to this place than the headquarters, and it is not too much to say that this is the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

Of course, the growth process of Lugou City was not all smooth sailing, and there were also people who were jealous of the huge interests here and wanted to take advantage of it, but in the face of the collective pressure from the Fengbing Pavilion and the forces on the list of the four old Longmen who grew up later, they didn't need to send a single soldier, and the red-eyed ones withdrew from Lugou City in a gloomy manner.

Since then, Lugou City has become the only city in the entire Tianyun Continent that has no government management, but no one dares to do illegal things here, and it is also the only city where no robbers and bandits dare to patronize.

There is no army here, but everyone is a manager, as long as someone is found to be a traitor here, the residents here will spontaneously expel him from Lugou City, and mark him as never welcome; as long as there are robbers to patronize, those honest residents immediately take out weapons and all the people are soldiers, many civilians who usually do not hum or ha, in the blink of an eye, they have become once famous bigwigs, no matter how arrogant the robbers, when they arrive here, they will be cleaned up and suspicious life.

Slowly, Lugou City has become a very mysterious city in the eyes of people, and it has also become a holy place that countless people yearn for, and its legend has spread all over the Tianyun Continent with the people here in the past.
