Chapter 13 Fulfilling Promises

Sun Xiang got the edict. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The info emperor also got the formation he wanted, but according to the agreement, he had to keep it secret for Sun Xiang.

The emperor never served as a soldier, nor did he serve as a mercenary. He is just an academy stream, a master cultivated in the academy. He didn't study teamfights much. Therefore, he didn't know how much the three formations given to him by Sun Xiang meant to the army. I just heard from the intelligence department that these three formations have increased the combat power of the garrison of Astor City a little. This was a very vague judgment, and he had to keep it secret for Sun Xiang, so Emperor Deke casually talked nonsense about the origin of the formation, and as a result, he poked a leak and almost buried himself in it.

When the emperor handed over the three formations to the military department, the people from the military department were shocked after a cursory glance, and they hurriedly asked the emperor where did this come from? Because the people in the military department knew the value of these three formations, they wanted to know whether there were any follow-ups to these formations, and they also wanted to know whether other countries had also mastered these formations and whether they were lagging behind.

As a result, the emperor's answer completely angered them, and the emperor casually said that it was from the study, and he couldn't remember anything else. The people in the military department were angry, but they didn't dare to be angry with the emperor, so they reported to the two great military gods of the empire, General Zhenxi and General Zhennan. After the two generals got these three formations, they immediately jumped up and rushed into the imperial study together. first gave the emperor a hard lesson, and then forced the emperor to recall the origin of this formation, and even turned the imperial study upside down.

The emperor is wronged, more wronged than Dou E and her grandmother. If he knew the value of these formations, he would definitely make up a better reason. He hated the intelligence services because their assessment of the formation was too casual. He hates that kid even more, you can't seriously explain the value of these formations to me! In the end, the helpless emperor brought the old man of the Sun family here.

The old man of the Sun family understood at a glance, so he began to make peace with the mud, and finally completed this matter.

The old man of the Sun family, who had already suffered a loss, waited for the matter to be over, secretly comforted His Majesty the Emperor, and cried to His Majesty that he was also a victim, and he had also been cheated by someone many times. Finally, he hinted to His Majesty that you must be careful when dealing with this kid in the future.

After listening to the complaint of the Minister of Finance, the emperor was in a balanced state of mind. Under the hint of the old man of the Sun family, he changed his mind again, and then he smiled and smiled happily.

His Majesty the Emperor's idea is very simple, it is a redefinition of Sun Xiang: a scoundrel with high strength and strategy!

Such a person is invincible in the world. If such a person is used for himself, it will be difficult for the empire to suffer. At this time, he also reacted, as if the marriage of the seventh princess had not yet been decided.

***************************

Sun Xiang, who returned to Sun's house, originally wanted to continue to release some people's pigeons and go to the library pavilion. But this time he couldn't do it, because the eldest brother Sun Zhongxiong wanted to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the second brother.

There are more than a dozen third-generation children of the Sun family, but unfortunately there are only four boys, Sun Zhongxiong is the eldest, Sun Xiang is the second, and the third and fourth are Sun Zhongwen and Sun Zhongwu. And there are as many as ten girls, except for Sun Yanni and other four girls who are younger than Sun Xiang, the remaining six girls are older than Sun Xiang. And four of these six girls have already been married, and only two sisters are still to be married, and Sun Xiang wants to call the fifth sister and the sixth sister.

Sun Zhongxiong was about to give Sun Xiang a long time ago, but unfortunately Sun Xiang entered the library the day after he came back and never came out. Until today, knowing that Sun Xiang was going to come back from visiting his aunt in the palace, Sun Zhongxiong set up a banquet at home to catch the wind for his second brother. Sun Zhongxiong already knew something about the transformation of his second brother from the old man's mouth, and he was very happy about it.

Due to the decline of his direct sons, and the younger two younger brothers, he has always felt a lot of pressure as the eldest of the third generation. Now his second brother has finally matured, not only won honor for the family in the trials of Astor City, but also provided the family with the production process of compressed biscuits and instant noodles, so that the family's economic strength has been further improved, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the family. This means that this second brother should be able to share his worries, how can he not be happy.

During the period before leaving Astor City, Sun Xiang often chatted with Sun Ying and Sun Gang, learned about the situation in the capital and the Sun family, and had some understanding of the Sun family. After a long talk with my grandfather that day, I learned more about the situation of the family.

Take Sun Ying and Sun Gang as examples. Both were orphans adopted by the family and carefully nurtured by the family, but now they belong completely differently. Sun Guangzan, the head of the Sun family, has the right to transfer Sun Ying but does not have the right to transfer Sun Gang, and he must consult the higher echelons of the family for Sun Gang's transfer. Due to their different statuses, the perspectives of the two are also different. Sun Ying was the head of the family first and then the family in her eyes, so she was shocked when she wrote a letter to the head of the family with Sun Xiang in that disrespectful tone. And Sun Gang is the head of the family first and then the head of the family, so when Sun Xiang lost contact, he even went to find Sun Xiang regardless of the danger of the two industries in the western suburbs, just because the order given to him by the family was to protect Sun Xiang's safety, and he didn't care about any royal trials in the eyes of the head of the family.

Sun Xiang can be said to have grown up in the Shushan faction, and he has not seen what kind of sect structure. After knowing Sun Gang's identity, he had a deeper understanding of the super family.

The head of the Shushan faction is the most powerful figure in the entire sect, but he is not the most powerful figure in the Shushan faction. The most powerful figures in the Shushan faction are those thousand-year-old monsters like him. These thousand-year-old demons can decide at will whether or not to leave the head of a sect. There are three main reasons for them to choose the head of the sect: first, they are absolutely loyal to the sect; the second is to have strong ability and be able to manage the entire sect well; The third is to have a certain strength. Of course, this "certain strength" is in their eyes, and in the eyes of ordinary people, the strength of the head is still unfathomable.

Sun Xiang has also analyzed the situation of these super families, in fact, they are similar to the sects in Shenzhou, the only difference is that the people in the family have a trace of blood connection, while the Shenzhou sect emphasizes the inheritance of master and apprentice. Sun Xiang did not become the head of the house when he was in Shenzhou, because his master's master was optimistic about the apprentice of another apprentice, that is, the apprentice of Sun Xiang's uncle. Sun Xiang was later strong enough to be directly promoted to an old demon-level figure, sat in the background, and began to supervise the head.

When he was in Astor City, Sun Gang once mentioned the dilemma of the Sun family's current direct family in his casual chat. Counting from the old man, there is no talent in the second generation of sisters-in-law who can provoke the Sun family, maybe Sun Lihai and Sun Erye are counted as one, and their coordination and management skills are acceptable, but their strength is too weak to convince the public; The eldest Sun Libo is counted as one, and his strength can convince the public, but he is short-tempered and his management ability is not very strong. The remaining few are even worse, they all have one or another shortcoming, and they have long been denied by the high-level of the Sun family.

In the third generation of sisters-in-law, there was a situation of yin and yang decline, and several girls who married outside were very good, even Sun Xiang's fifth and sixth sisters were also very good. On the other hand, the boys are a little weaker. The eldest Sun Zhongxiong is twenty-six years old, basically formed, and is considered by the top management of the Sun family to be a talent who keeps the formation, and is still observing; The second is Sun Zhongkai, the first gentleman in the capital, don't mention it; The third and fourth, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old, and they are still growing.

It is from this that the family dilemma mentioned by Sun Gang comes from.

The Sun family has the hereditary title of the empire, and as long as a new head is elected, he is directly a hereditary duke and ranks among the four ministers of the imperial court. This requires him to take care of both the family and the empire in the future, and the requirements for comprehensive ability are very high. The old man's physical condition is okay, and he should be able to replace the second generation, but he will definitely not be able to top the third generation. And if there is no suitable candidate for the third generation, it is estimated that the direct line of the family will be replaced, and it is more in line with the overall interests of the family to be served by a more suitable sideline. The so-called more consistent collateral is actually not too far from the direct blood relationship, and it should have been the direct line of the family a long time ago.

This has happened in the history of the John family, one of the four superfamilies. It was Sun Gang who told Sun Xiang, and there was a hint in it. Sun Xiang understood, but kept pretending to be confused. He has his own bottom line, and he has already borrowed Sun Zhongkai's body to cross, he doesn't want to borrow this body to occupy the Sun family anymore, he always feels that this is a bit unauthentic. Because his crossing was forced, not at all voluntary, he still felt like an outsider, a passerby, so he did not have any consciousness to participate in the management of the family and the empire at all.

After getting the top reading card of the family library, and the family also promised not to interfere in the affairs of Astor City, so that he could let his hands and feet develop there, he knew that he had entered the scope of the family's assessment and had been recognized by the family. These were enough for him, his purpose had been achieved, and he had no desire for anything further.

However, in order to better understand the backer of the Sun family and firmly grasp this backer, the invitation of the eldest brother Sun Zhongxiong must be attended.

Because he had to attend the banquet in the evening, Sun Xiang finally fulfilled his promise to Xiaoling and them during the day and accompanied them to go shopping.

The prosperity of the capital is far from being matched by Astor City. The population of the entire capital has reached 10 million, and if you count the floating population, it will reach 15 million. The area of the capital is also 100 times the size of the newly built city of Aster. It is also the political and economic center of the entire empire, and the fifty-one state capitals of the empire are connected to the teleportation array here. Therefore, not only goods from all parts of the empire can be bought here, but even goods from other countries on the mainland can be bought here. There are also all kinds of human beings here, even people from two other empires far away.
