Nakwonju, Fengqi City, Shangfu.

Shang got out of the carriage and hurried into the door with a blank face, walking towards the inner courtyard hall.

Along the way, the atmosphere seemed a little oppressive.

Whether it was the guards standing with swords or the servants walking back and forth, they were all solemn and silent. When they saw Shang Qiyu, although everyone still bowed and saluted as usual, the strangeness in their eyes could not be concealed.

If it is far away, there are still people talking about it.

In this regard, Shang is foolish and ignorant.

He knew very well that all this was caused by his precious daughter.

Now, a big war is breaking out in the north of Nakwonju that will determine the pattern of Nakwonju and even have a profound impact on the situation of the entire Southern God Kingdom.

But as the Feng family's biggest competitor in Luoyuan Prefecture, the Shang family could only stay quietly and watch from the sidelines.

This is a major strategic mistake for the Shang family!

You must know that more than 20 years ago, Fengqi City was still one of the best male cities in Luoyuan Prefecture. And the Shang family is faintly the leader of the major families in Luoyuan Prefecture.

But with the arrival of the Feng family, over the years, the status and influence of the Shang family have gradually declined.

Although they are still in the ranks of the four major families, what the Shang family said is far less weighty than before.

Therefore, although the Shang family and the Feng family did not have much evil on the surface, from the root of it, they are one mountain and cannot tolerate two tigers. is the most direct competitor.

As we all know, it is 100 times more difficult to move from the midstream to the upper reaches than it is to enter the midstream from the downstream. Two of the most important conditions are indispensable.

The first condition is that there must be a strong debut realm in the family.

Only with a Dao Realm powerhouse, the midstream family is qualified to launch a battle to seize the mountain, win the recognition of the major forces, and get the key to enter the upper reaches.

The other condition is to complete the rule of the state capital in which it is located.

After all, the resources of a midstream state are limited. With all it has, it can only be used by one family to enter the upper reaches.

Therefore, if you can't complete the absolute domination of your own state capital, then it will be a pipe dream to march into the upper reaches - not to mention how cruel the battle for the mountain is, just the other families in the middle of the stream will pull their hind legs behind their backs, and it will be enough to drink a pot!

As far as Nawon itself is concerned, the situation is actually more complicated.

Because of historical reasons, the family pattern of Nawon Prefecture today is not like other state capitals to form a monopoly or two rivalries.

There are four families that are eligible to participate in the competition!

These four families, in addition to the Feng family and the Shang family, also have the Luo family in the south and the Zhou family in the west.

The strength of the four major families is the strongest in the Feng family, followed by the Shang family, and the Luo family and the Zhou family again. However, the gap between strength and weakness is limited. This makes neither side dare to provoke easily. Everyone is afraid that they and the other party will fight for both sides and lose money, and they will cheapen others.

But it is precisely because of this that the Shang family is so depressed this time.

On weekdays, the Shang family doesn't talk about the idea of fighting the Feng family, even if they want to fight the Luo family or the Zhou family, which are even worse, they don't have a chance.

But now, the Feng family is being targeted by the Yan family, and more than a dozen families have joined forces, and the Shang family originally only needed to stretch out their hands to overthrow the Feng family. At that time, not only will one of the biggest competitors be removed, but the benefits from the Feng family will be enough for the Shang family to throw off the Luo family and the Zhou family again.

As long as it works properly, it may soar to the sky!

But no one expected that not long ago, Shang Ye and the prodigal man of the Feng family walked around Bailin City in front of all the family observers.

On the same day, the family's observer, Boss Qiu, returned, and then, there was no place for the Shang family in this hunt.

To be honest, when he heard the news, Shang was stupid enough to beat his daughter. But when Shang Ye came back, his big eyes glared, and he lost his temper first. Therefore, no matter how the people in the house talk behind his back, he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Thinking of this, Shang Qiyu felt that his head hurt badly, and his steps were even more hurried. In the face of the discussion up and down, he could only bury his head and remain silent.

Shang Qiyu walked into the council hall.

"Why did you come so late?" As soon as he entered the council hall, Shang Qiyu heard the voice of his father Shang Boshu blaming.

When I looked up, I saw that the council hall was already overcrowded. Dozens of Shang family elders, elders, and hall masters were already here. But he was the last to arrive.

"Something delayed a bit. Shang Qiyu said helplessly.

Originally, he was waiting for the Shang family's information today, but until now, seeing that it was getting late, the information below had not yet come.

Seeing that he couldn't wait, he hurried here.

"Okay," Shang Boshu withdrew his gaze from Shang Qiyu's face and looked around, "Tell me?"

His voice echoed through the suddenly quiet council hall.

"The day before yesterday, there were already fifteen Heavenly Realm powerhouses who had arrived in Fanyang City. And tomorrow is the period of the gambling between the Feng family and the Qing family, where will my Shang family go, you don't have to hold back, you might as well say it clearly. ”

Shang Boshu's stupid face was a little cold.

These days, the Shang family has been arguing fiercely about this matter. There are all kinds of sounds.

Naturally, most of the spearheads are also pointed at Shang Boshu and the monk is foolish. One of them is the head of the Shang family, Shang Ye's own grandfather. And the other is the future heir of the Shang family, Shang Ye's father. Therefore, Shang Yechuang's disaster can only be borne by their father and son.

Originally, according to Shang Qiyu's meaning, the best response to these voices is to ignore them.

However, as more than a dozen family celestial venerables gathered in Fanyang City, these voices of the Shang family became louder and louder, and they gradually couldn't be suppressed.

In desperation, Shang Boshu convened this meeting.

If you have anything to say, make it clear in front of the gong and the drum!

As soon as Shang Boshu's voice fell, the Supreme Elder Shang Wenxiong spoke first: "What else is there to dispute about this?"

Shang Wenxiong paused with his cane, his old face was full of anger, "Boshu, as the head of the family, don't you understand that this opportunity is related to the overall future of my Shang family, how can you let Xiao Ye make a fuss and just give something bad?

Shang Wenxiong's words attracted everyone's echo.

"Elder Taishang is right," a family elder nodded, "If it is replaced by another family, it doesn't matter if this battle is fought or not. But now, since the other party is the Feng family, it is different. ”

The old man leaned his body slightly, turned his head to the side and said, "The Feng family was originally just a broken settlement in the downstream, even if you are lucky, it will only be more than twenty years since you entered the midstream. It stands to reason that this is just a midstream junior, and no matter what it is, it won't be their turn......"

“...... But if you look at the development momentum of this Feng family over the past few years, it has actually made great progress and is like a bamboo! In just over 20 years, it has surpassed most of the old families and become one of the four major families in Luoyuan Prefecture, and even faintly suppressed our Shang family!"

While everyone nodded and discussed, the old man sighed and said, "Such an opponent, we can't be careless." Not to mention being placed in Nakwonju, even if it is placed in any state capital, it is also a threat that must be eliminated at every opportunity. Besides, our Shang family wants to go further, isn't this a godsend?"

He looked around, and there was a bright light in his somewhat cloudy eyes: "How much family business the Feng family has accumulated over the years, others don't know, we don't know yet?" Once these fall into the hands of our Shang family...... Even if it's just a part, it's enough for our Shang family to go to the next level!"

The old man finally turned his head to Shang Boshu and said earnestly: "The master of the family, God has given Fu to take it, but he is to blame!"

As soon as the old man's words landed, there was already an uproar in the council hall.

"Guo Lao is right. ”

"Yes, forget about other families, this is the Feng family. ”

Another old man stood up and said loudly: "Family master, dare to ask about this kind of loss, did our Shang family eat less before?"

He looked around: "My Shang family has been in Luoyuan Prefecture for nearly a hundred years. Originally, thirty years ago, Wen Xin, Wen and the two Supreme Elders broke through to the Heavenly Realm one after another, and they were expected to step into the ranks of the Dao Realm, which was the best time for my Shang family to join Luoyuan Prefecture, but what was the result?"

As soon as they heard this, everyone's faces were strange, but the stupid face of the monk Shang Boshu sank suddenly.

The old man also seemed to know that his words were a little inappropriate, so he swallowed back the words and sat down again.

In the council hall, there was silence for a while.

Everyone knows that when it comes to this matter, it is necessary to talk about Shang Boshu's father, the previous head of the family, Shang Wenxian.

In the Shang family, many clansmen believe that the reason why the Shang family has not been able to enter the upper reaches for a long time, and even Luoyuan Prefecture has not been reunified, is that the root of the problem started with Shang Wenxian.

Shang Wenxian is a soft and casual person, and he is not good at fighting in his life.

At that time, the Shang family was still far ahead of other families in the family pattern of Luoyuan State. At that time, not to mention that the Feng family was still downstream as their broken household, even the Luo family and the Zhou family were only a little stronger than ordinary families, and they were far from the Shang family.

Originally, when Shang Wen was the head of the family, the Shang family wanted to unify Luoyuan Prefecture, and there were a lot of opportunities.

At that time, the Shang family could be said to have a large number of talents, and there were two powerhouses in the upper echelons of the Heavenly Realm alone. And Shang Wenxian himself is also a powerhouse in the Heavenly Realm.

Such a luxurious lineup is enough to sweep away all the forces in Luoyuan State.

But everyone, waiting, didn't wait for Shang Wen to do it first. On the contrary, when the Zhou family and the Luo family became stronger and stronger, the Shang family just watched silently. It seems that for Shang Wenxian, it is an incredible thing to attack other families in order to fight for supremacy.

So, the Shang family lived peacefully year after year.

First, Shang Wenxin, one of the upper echelons of the two Heavenly Realms, fell in a battle between the sect and the Demon Dao, and then, Elder Wenhe failed to break through the Dao Realm and died.

The best golden age of the Shang family was wasted like this.

When Shang Wen was there first, there was no sound from the Shang family. When Shang Wenxian died and Shang Boshu succeeded to the throne, there was a bit of a lingering voice.

But usually, no matter what everyone says in private, they rarely say it in front of Shang Boshu.

And today, perhaps the old man of the clan was a little excited, and when he mentioned this topic in public, the scene suddenly became a little embarrassing.
