Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Summer of the Forty-sixth Year of the Cullinan
If the second master wins the world and faces different distribution of interests, can the six clans of Huaihe still be as united as they are now?
The heads of the other five major families are really willing to watch the Zhou family eat meat and drink soup by themselves? But if the meat is divided, what will the Zhou family eat?
Zhou Xingyun fell into deep thought, only to realize that his thoughts had always been so simple.
"You're not young anymore, and you can't look at things as shallowly as you used to. Lord Zhou Yu said earnestly: " In the eyes of the world, the six clans of Huaihe are like a family, and the other five families are like the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys of people, and my Zhou family is the brain, but my family must know their own affairs, the six clans of Huaihe have never been one person, ruling Huaihe County is not the same as governing a family of the Zhou family, there must be strong means, and let the other five families get certain benefits in your hands, only in this way can we ensure that the term Huaihe six clans will not disappear in the long river of history. ”
"Then why can't my Zhou family eat this benefit by themselves, and still divide five shares to them?" Zhou Xingyun asked puzzled.
Lord Zhou Yu sighed and said, "First, it's because my private relationship with your other five uncles is really good, but this is only a small part of the reason, Xingyun, you have to understand that a single filament does not form a thread, and a single tree does not make a forest." Although my Zhou family can do some things by themselves, if there are five more helpers, it will be much easier to do, and the risk will be much smaller, if there is no group of the six clans of Huaihe, my Zhou family can certainly sit firmly in the position of the first clan in Huaihe County, but won't the five of them do something for their own interests?"
"What are they doing, what does it have to do with my Zhou family?" Zhou Xingyun asked puzzled.
"Idiot, idiot!" Lord Zhou Yu sighed, shook his head and said: "You killed a cow, set a table for food, and kept it for yourself, and the other five people were dying of hunger next to you, will they pounce on you and snatch your meat and rice? Instead of waiting for them to rob it, why can't you tell them that they can hunt there, and then let them hunt cattle and sheep, and bring them back to you for distribution?" Not only did he get famous, but he also saved trouble, and in the end he also got a profit, no better than being beaten and robbing himself of everything? I can't think of such a simple truth, how can I rest assured that the Zhou family will be handed over to you in the future. ”
Zhou Xingyun hurriedly knelt on the ground when he heard this, and said with sincere fear: "Father is angry, Xingyun is stupid, you have disappointed your old man, and Xingyun will definitely remember your old man's teachings in the future, and think twice before acting." ”
"That's it. Lord Zhou Yu waved his hand helplessly and said, "I, Zhou Yu, only have a child like you, who else can the Zhou family give it to if they don't give it to you in the future?"
"Thank you for your father's trust. Zhou Xingyun knelt on the ground and said, due to the angle, Zhou Yu didn't see the killing intent on Zhou Xingyun's face that could not be concealed.
Zhou Yu has never lowered his arrogant head in his life, except in front of the second prince, so he has handled the communication with the second prince very well, and he has done a seamless job of controlling the six clans of Huaihe, but he has never lowered his head to take a serious look at his only son.
......
......
It's May, and the heat is quietly rising. Starry Night Academy is also about to usher in its final graduation time.
The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. Someone is coming, then someone is definitely leaving, this is not accidental, but the norm, the academy is not a sect, it is impossible to tie students to the academy for the rest of their lives. This year of the Starry Night Academy, for the long life of a cultivator, is just a white horse, and it has passed in a hurry, perhaps many people will regard this year as a very unforgettable memory in their lives, but more people just regard it as a scenery on their own road, so although they are almost in the academy when they are separated, there is not much sadness.
On the contrary, not only was there no sadness, but there was also a lot of laughter and laughter in the Starry Night Academy in May.
With the year-long study in the academy, many people's cultivation realm has been improved, such as Qin Lang of Xuancheng Mansion and Wang Mozhi, the descendant of the Shusheng of Luling County, both of whom have broken through the realm of shaking light and entered the Kaiyang realm, Yu Jun, the precious granddaughter of General Yu, has also faintly touched the threshold of the Kaiyang realm, Gong Lihan naturally needless to say, has broken through to the Kaiyang Middle Realm, and stabilized the realm, now even if he faces Shen Haoyuan again, he must already have the strength to fight, even if he can't beat it in the end, at least he won't lose as badly as he did at the martial arts conference in Yuanjiacheng。
Of course, when it comes to the forty-five years of the Cullinan Starry Night Academy, it will never be possible to bypass that name.
Chen Linci.
From the autumn of the forty-fifth year of Tianxi, with an unperceived mortal body, he got the leader of the martial arts test of the Starry Night Academy, and then in just a few months, he sprung up at the martial arts conference in Yuanjiacheng, defeated Shen Haoyuan, who was known as invincible under the Mandate of Heaven, and then before the battlefield of Mangcang Mountain, he broke through the sun with a sword, crossed the border and killed the genius Gao Yifan on the Escape Mountain, and his prestige in the Great Chu country has even faintly surpassed the little prince Zhao Destiny, everyone is very optimistic about Chen Linci's future, including the sworn enemy of Starry Night Academy, Ren Yuxin, the dean of Qingxu Academy, is full of praise when he mentions Chen Linci。
Throughout the thousand-year history of the Starry Night Academy, I am afraid that only the Meteorite Heavenly Sword Lu Xinghe Lu who was already standing high on the top of the continent could steadily suppress him.
Soon it will be time for the sect to start recruiting a new batch of disciples, and His Majesty the Cullinan Emperor's body is getting worse and worse day by day, in previous years, he liked to stand by the railing of the Star Picking Tower, blowing the wind blowing from the mountains and forests in the distance, overlooking his empire and people, but his current body can no longer support him to do this.
His Majesty the Emperor, who has always governed the country diligently, has not been to the court for many days, Wang Shulin's husband ordered a reclining chair to be placed on the star-picking tower, and a lot of precious silk was spread on it, Zhao Xixuan lay on it, more often than not, he no longer looked down on his own rivers and mountains, but looked up at the deep sky.
Everyone wants to shatter the void, but what kind of world is there beyond the void? What is that world like, is it really better than the human world under this void?
Zhao Xixuan has been thinking about this question recently, because for tens of thousands of years, no immortal who has successfully ascended has ever returned to this world, so people basically don't know anything about the heaven and earth above the void.
Not only Zhao Xixuan has thought about this question, but countless cultivators on the mainland have also thought about such a question, people are full of fear and curiosity about unknown things, but people are willing to believe that it is a holy land of bliss, and use this to motivate themselves to practice. No one wants to imagine what the world above the void would be like if it were just a dead silence.
But Zhao Xixuan was thinking about this at this time.
Although he is not a cultivator, he has no hope of leaving this world in this life, but perhaps it is the bystander Qing, so that he is willing to think about what these cultivators are not willing to think, he is the emperor of the world, in his eyes, this world is already the land of bliss, the legend of the fairy world only exists in the classics tens of thousands of years ago, no one has really seen it, those great talents who have successfully soared, including the Yang family's old Linggong Yang Invincible, who is closest to the current era, have really gained immortality?
No one can answer this question, because the world has never seen them again.
He knew why those cultivators who had already entered the hall were reluctant to think about these things, because the matter of breaking the void and seeking immortality had become the spiritual pillar of their cultivation, and if all his life's efforts were to leave the continent and go to another place that was not as good as the endless continent, how sad would it be?
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's windy and cold outside, so it's better for you to go back to the building. When Zhao Xixuan was thinking, Wang Shulin's husband had already come over and said with concern.
"Alas!" Zhao Xixuan sighed, and helplessly left the corridor and returned to the building with the support of Wang Shulin's husband.
He didn't want to admit that he was old, but this sick body made him have to serve old age, when he was a teenager, he crossed mountains and mountains, galloped Dachu, and never thought that one day he would even struggle to walk normally, until this day really came, looking back, he could only accept this helpless and powerless reality.
"When the major sects recruit disciples, with the talent of Chen Linci, this kid, will definitely attract the competition of many sects, the national teacher has taken the first step, what reason should I use to persuade him to stay in the Chu State and assist the Mandate of Heaven to achieve the great cause. ”
Sitting on a chair in the middle of the building, Zhao Xixuan asked in a low voice.
Wang Shulin's husband thought for a while and said: "In front of the Heavenly Dao Academy, in the face of the invitation of the Great Chan Temple, Chen Linci refused without hesitation, what was this kid thinking in his heart, the old slave really couldn't guess, but the old slave thought to himself, even the Great Chan Temple failed to successfully accept Chen Linci under his disciples, this matter is enough to persuade many small and medium-sized sects." ”
"What have Heavenly Providence and Tian Yuan been doing lately?" Zhao Xixuan asked suddenly.
Wang Shulin's old husband said: "Your Highness has been busy with all kinds of entertainment and trying to interact with hundreds of officials these days, and His Royal Highness is still studying in the mansion as always, and has not done anything. ”
"The eldest is a person who can't hide things, I know that he has always had an intention for the throne, and it's no wonder, after all, he is my first son, if you can, after the Mandate of Heaven ascends the throne in the future, you have to help him, at least leave him a way to live, as for the second ......" Zhao Xixuan muttered: "The second child is not a simple person." ”
