Nan's house, in the old house where the old man Nan lived.

It is usually very quiet here, it belongs to the government's special alert area, there are armed police standing guard at the door, people who enter and exit, there will be strict review and registration, at this moment, more than a dozen members of the Nan family, gathered in the house, sat with the elderly, and discussed the major events related to the future of the Nan family.

This kind of thing, even Old Man Nan can't make a decision privately, and the entire Nan family needs to decide together.

The three sons and two daughters of the Nan family, plus the third generation, such as Nan Yuyan and their descendants, more than a dozen people, in Xiangdao, can be regarded as prosperous.

"The situation has been told to you, now everyone has their own opinions, see how the Nan family is going to behave?" The old man simply and clearly, introduced the current shape of Xiangdao, and did not give any bias, let the family choose for themselves, he is already old, the future belongs to young people, and there are some things that need to be given to them.

Right and wrong are a rare life experience.

Nan Cangtian, as the third child, did not speak first, but raised his head and glanced at the brothers and sisters, and buried his head again, smoking the cigarette, producing a thick smoke, if it was on weekdays, as a wife, Nan Mu would definitely open her mouth to stop it, but at this moment the woman did not, but like her husband, silently waiting for others to speak.

Nan Yuyan, who was sitting next to them, wanted to speak, but was stopped by Nan Mu, the adult has not spoken yet, where did you fall into a junior like you, although there are not too many rules at home, but basic politeness is still required, besides, there is time for you to speak.

The three sons and two daughters of the Nan family are all people with status in Xiangdao, and the sum of this power is the Nan family, so the Nan family has considerable strength in all aspects, otherwise the old man Nan, who has always been low-key, would not have received the invitation of the Bai family.

The Bai family sent an invitation to Xiangdao, there are sixteen, these sixteen represent sixteen people, it is better to represent sixteen families, and even heard that even the Li family, who was driven out of Xiangdao by Liu Qingshan, also received an invitation card, they have a grudge against Liu Qingshan, of course, they can't wait for the Bai family to kill Liu Qingshan, so they will definitely accept the invitation.

It's a pity that the Li family's strength in Xiangdao is already so weak that it can be ignored.

In the past, the invitation of the Bai family would be a kind of glory and reputation, after all, this must mean that the Nan family already has the strength to be favored by the big family in the capital, but now, it is a hot potato, on one side is the Bai family, representing the most powerful ancient power of the empire, and on the other hand, Liu Qingshan, representing the new force that has risen in the empire in the past ten years, the collision of the old and the new, they need to make a choice.

As long as you have a little understanding of things, you know that this decision is related to the survival and rise and fall of the family for at least 30 years in the future, and it is absolutely not allowed to be careless.

So after the old man spoke, this group of people was silent, quite silent.

But someone has to speak, the boss of the Nan family finally spoke, he is the boss, and he should speak first and set an example.

"Dad, is it impossible, do we choose neutrality?" This is the best way, regardless of whether they fight to the death, the Nan family is the Nan family, maintain neutrality, no one will offend, nor take advantage of anyone, the Nan family will survive this crisis without going through the wind and waves.

Nan Lao Er smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, don't say such naïve words, if you can choose neutrality, the Bai family will not send out invitations so solemnly, besides, you think neutrality is not offended, in fact, according to me, neutrality is offended on both sides, and it is not pleased, or not." ”

After the second child of the Nan family finished speaking, he looked at the old man and asked, "Dad, do you think that between the two, who can have the last laugh?"

Old Man Nan raised his head and glanced at the second child, and said with a smile: "You ask me, who do I ask?"

The third child, that is, Nan Yuyan's father, said very formally at this moment: "I can answer this question, second brother, really when it comes to strength, of course, the Bai family is strong, and it is more than a little stronger, the oldest Bai Lao of the Bai family, is one hundred and twenty years old, fifty or sixty years ago, he has not made another move, you think about the development of so many years, how terrifying the accumulated power is, to put it mildly, the nine first-class families in the capital combined, may not have such great strength as them." ”

"They are almost everywhere in all aspects, from imperial power, economic power, political power, and military power, otherwise do you think that those big families in the capital are absolutely silent at this time, because they are also very afraid in their hearts. ”

Nan Lao Er immediately said: "The third child, since it has been said so clearly, what else is there to discuss, which side is stronger, which side we lean on, it is not bad to take a hitchhiker, I am in favor and accept the invitation of the Bai family." ”

The two sisters, the elder sister is not young, about fifty years old, only younger than the oldest, and she also said at this moment: "Although the words of the second and third are not wrong, but Liu Qingshan is not something that my Nan family can offend, if people don't have any ability and dare to work against the Bai family, the Bai family will not let him retreat to Xiangdao so smoothly, but the Bai family is famous, and Liu Qingshan has risen not long ago, so ordinary people don't know, but if anyone underestimates him, then he will really die and have no place to be buried." ”

"The eldest sister is right, Liu Qingshan's strength is not weak at all, first of all, he is a master himself, not necessarily worse than the old man of the Bai family, plus he is full of peach and plums, and the master who came out of his training camp has now infiltrated all walks of life in the empire, and when the time comes, he will really respond to it, and he may not have the strength to fight with the Bai family. ”

The youngest sister is in her thirties, but she is well maintained, sitting with Nan Yuyan, she doesn't look like an aunt or nephew, but like sisters.

"You all have a point, but the problem is, we need to make a choice, after all, the Bai family has a better chance of winning, isn't it, then choose the Bai family, no matter what, we must choose the winning side, otherwise when the time comes, the Bai family will face a blow, and our Nan family will really disappear in Xiangdao." ”

Boss Nan nodded and said: "Although this choice is a bit difficult, in order to protect the Nan family, accepting the invitation of the Bai family is more in line with the interests of my Nan family, and I heard that the Mei family has already made a choice and accepted the invitation, once my Nan family also makes a decision, maybe Xiangdao will form an alliance, and Liu Qingshan may not dare to make a move if he wants to come." ”

"The sixteen families in Xiangdao, as long as half of them accept the invitation, they will sit in the same boat, and the other half is afraid that most of them will remain neutral. ”

Of the three brothers, two have already made a choice, and the third Nan Cangtian did not make a rash decision, but looked at the young man behind him and said: "Or, let the young people also talk about what happened in Xiangdao recently, it is estimated that they will also have their own opinions." ”

"I'm on the instructor's side. Finally it was her turn, and Nan Yuyan almost didn't need to think about it, and she had already said her answer.

"Poof", someone laughed, the eldest daughter of the Nan family, who is also Nan Yuyan's aunt, smiled: "Feiyan, no, you should be called Yuyan now, I know, you like Liu Qingshan, but people don't appreciate it at all, why do you have to pay so much, besides, this matter is related to the life and death of the Nan family, and you can't make a decision lightly." ”

Nan Feiyan changed her name to Nan Yuyan, the family all knew, everyone looked for the roots, and finally knew that this woman who had always been strong was moved by a man, and changed her name to please him, and it was really unbelievable to say it.

"Auntie, it's true that I like Liu Qingshan, but if it's just because I like it, I won't let the Nan family make such a choice, I will go alone, this is my loyalty to my love, the instructor, although low-key, but his strength, will make people quite desperate, I have known him since five years ago, and I have been with him for a long time now, but I haven't figured out how strong he is. ”

"How strong he is, no one knows, I think the five words of Liu Qingshan in the capital can explain a qiē, plus, the women around him, the Zhao family in the capital, Zhao Wanyu, Li Ziyu of the Li family in the southern Guangdong City, Lin Baiyu of the Lin family, these people, although they did not speak, they will definitely stand on the side of the instructor, because the Bai family in the capital has aroused common indignation. ”

"The Bai family is already very strong, they have almost half of the strength of the empire, but they are still not satisfied, and they still come to rob the instructor's things, this kind of greed definitely makes many people uncomfortable, today to rob the instructor, tomorrow will rob others, maybe one day, his Bai family will also come to rob our Nan family's things. ”

"There are some things, you don't know, but I know that the instructor has trained many people, and several of the most powerful forces in the empire have been trained by him, like the dragon group, like the wolf's teeth, even if the dragon sword is disbanded, but in the army, how many high-level officers are trained by the instructor, these people, dare not listen to the instructor?"

"Of course, if these don't explain the problem, then we will conform to the development of history, the old, the old, the **, all will be eliminated by history, the Bai family has been in existence for a hundred years, don't you think, should also be eliminated by history?"

"So, I will stand on the instructor's side, no matter what the Nan family decides, this is my only choice, if I can't coexist with the Nan family, then I choose to leave the Nan family. ”

Nan Yuyan stood up, glanced at everyone, regardless of the shock on the faces of many people, stood up, gave a salute, and left, this matter has nothing to do with her, because she has made the final choice, and it will not change.

The boss said a little unhappily: "Third child, what's going on with your Yuyan, isn't this still discussing, what kind of temper is she making, this matter is related to the survival of the Nan family, how can it be child's play?"

Nan Cangtian apologized: "Big brother, Yuyan has this temper, don't be angry with her, and I also think that she is quite reasonable, in fact, this matter, no matter how you choose, there are pros and cons, but the Nan family is also innocent, and they got along well with Liu Qingshan before, I don't think there is any need to change their position, that makes people look down on it, and it will also affect the reputation of the Nan family, I support Yuyan's choice." ”

Finally, Nan Cangtian made the same choice as his daughter.

"I support my daughter, and I support Cangtian. As daughters-in-law, they have no say in this kind of thing, because they are not surnamed Nan, but as mothers and wives, Nan's mother also opened her mouth to express her support.

"I don't agree, this is a matter of importance, there is no room for personal feelings, I think it is safer to accept the invitation of the Bai family. ”

"I also feel that cooperating with the Bai family is more in the interests of the Nan family. ”
