The Zhou family, whether it is economic strength or the strength of martial artists, is far lower than the other three major families, so it is known as the poorest and weakest family. You must know that in terms of economic strength, the Zhou family is not the opponent of the An family, and it is far lower than the Martial Arts League in terms of martial artists, even so, the Zhou family can still become one of the four great families, the main reason is that the previous head of the Zhou family is an extremely powerful martial artist, and he also has a strong economic mind, and he almost single-handedly makes the Zhou family among the four great families.

At this moment, the previous head of the Zhou family, the current elder of the family, Zhou Zhou Hui sat proudly in the main seat of the hall, although he looked old, with gray hair, but his eyes were still bright, exuding bursts of fine light, sitting on both sides of him were other elders of the family, one by one wearing straight boards, like a tall monument.

If you look closely, you will find that the elders present are actually a little tired, and the youngest elder is close to sixty years old. God is fair, when Zhou Zhou Hui was given a qiē talent, he ruthlessly deprived others of their abilities, Zhou Zhou Hui's brothers, without exception, were all wine-colored people, usually proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, but when it came to doing business and practicing martial arts, it was not bullshit.

If it weren't for the big day of Monday's exit, these old guys would definitely not come, and they wouldn't have been forced to maintain a standard sitting posture. Under Zhou Yihui's strength, the other elders felt not glory, but suffering, and they were struggling to suffer here, far from catching up, and found a few young models to soak in the hot springs together.

Zhou Hui, who was not angry and arrogant, glanced at everyone coldly, and Yan Sù's expression showed a hint of satisfaction, obviously he was still relatively satisfied with his unsuccessful brothers today.

The elders should be involved, and the younger generations dare not be careless, you know, the great elder has always been known for being tough, and if you make a small mistake in front of the elder, you may suffer from family law. Therefore, no one present dared to be careless, even Zhou Tianyu, the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Zhou family, who was currently second only to the Great Elder in the hall, did not dare to smile at this moment, but sat next to the Great Elder with a stiff face.

Although the Zhou family is a modern family, it still maintains ancient traditions, especially in terms of generation and rank. If Zhou Long was there, as the head of the family, he would definitely sit in the first place, but Zhou Long was absent, and the great elder naturally sat in the main seat, and Zhou Tianyu, as the eldest son and eldest grandson of the family, was the number two person in the hall, and his status was higher than that of other elders.

After a long time, the Great Elder seemed to feel that it was too cruel to let his unsuccessful brothers maintain a standard sitting posture, so he said lightly: "You are old, and your body bones are no longer strong, so change to a comfortable sitting position." ”

The elders hurriedly got up and bowed to the Great War Elder and thanked him, and the servants quickly brought pillows and cushions, and rearranged the seats, and the elders sat down, Rao is Great Elder was relieved, but the elders still did not dare to be presumptuous, and tried their best to keep themselves in a standard sitting posture.

The Great Elder turned his head to look at Zhou Tianyu who was sitting next to him, for this grandson, the Great Elder was very doting like ordinary people, and it had even reached the point of outrageousness, that is, because of the Great Elder's doting, Zhou Tianyu was lawless and became the notorious second ancestor of Suzhou and Hangzhou City.

"Tianyu, where is your father? Today is the day I go out, as the head of the family, why don't you show up? The Great Elder said in a deep voice, with a heavy dissatisfaction in his tone, over the years, in order to improve his strength and support the Zhou family, the Great Elder gave up all the rights of the family and chose to retreat, and for more than ten years, he finally made a breakthrough.

Facing the question of the Great Elder, Zhou Tianyu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "My father and Tian Feng, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, went to the An family together, preparing for a showdown with the An family, and completely seizing all the properties of the An family, I think, now all the property of the An family has been transferred to the name of our Zhou family." ”

Hearing this, the Great Elder snorted dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Tianyu couldn't figure out why the Great Elder snorted coldly when he heard this, could it be that he said something wrong? My father personally went out and joined forces with the Martial Arts Alliance to deal with the An family, no matter from any point of view, it was the wisest choice. Especially after the Zhou family's smuggling business in the border area was devastated, the Zhou family has already suffered severe losses, and if it continues to be consumed with the An family, even if it wins in the end, the Zhou family will suffer huge losses.

"Martial Arts Alliance? A loose alliance composed of a group of loose cultivators, with no background and no rules. As the head of the Zhou family, one of the four great families, it was really detrimental to the family's face to cooperate with such a low-level organization as the Martial Arts Alliance. The Great Elder snorted dissatisfiedly.

has been committed to building the family into the great elder of the upper family, has always adhered to the principle that the partners of the family must have enough background and level, such as the other three families, as for the martial arts alliance that has not been established for a long time, it is completely dependent on strong force to occupy a place in Suzhou and Hangzhou City, even now, it has not been recognized by the upper class of Suzhou and Hangzhou City.

What's more, in order to increase its strength, the Martial Arts League is constantly recruiting troops and buying horses, and those who come do not refuse, and there are all kinds of goods, and the su zhì is uneven.

"Grandfather, father did this in order to end the war of attrition with the An family, and he had to cooperate with the Martial Arts Alliance as a last resort......" Zhou Tianyu explained stubbornly. After so many years of fighting with the An family, we have been at a disadvantage, and now we have finally gained the upper hand, and we must defeat it once and for all, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

The Great Elder slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "What nonsense, could it be that the Zhou family, which is one of the four great families, needs to cooperate with the Martial Arts Alliance that is not in the stream in order to defeat the second-rate family An family?" What did you do during my retreat? Report to me immediately about the situation in the family. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Tianyu was in trouble, unlike the proud and invincible Zhou Long, since being cleaned up by Ye Feng, Zhou Tianyu has become cautious, especially after the smuggling business of the family in the border area was destroyed and attacked, Zhou Tianyu paid close attention to the situation in northern Myanmar, not long ago, the spies sent by the family to northern Myanmar sent back important information.

The ruler of northern Burma, the lord of Longtang City, Shi Wang, has been killed, and now the ruler of Longtang City is a man named Huang Xing, who is said to have reorganized the jade industry in northern Burma as soon as he came to power, and as the lord of Longtang City, he sent assistants to other mining areas to prepare to bring all the mining areas under his rule.

This is a ruined news for the Zhou family, and the Zhou family, who can't compete with Anjia's mature and huge marketing system, has the only trump card in his hand is the source of goods, which is the last killer weapon of the Zhou family, and it is also the most powerful weapon, but unfortunately, now this last trump card has also been lost.

Of course, at present, the Zhou family still has a chance to win, because the An family is almost unable to bear it under the onslaught of the Zhou family, coupled with the threat of the Martial Arts Alliance, it is only a matter of time before the An family fails, perhaps now the An family has admitted defeat under the threat of his father and the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and obediently took out all the family property. But at this moment, what Zhou Tianyu will never forget the most is Miss An's daughter, Anna.

Of course, what Zhou Tianyu hopes most at the moment is that Huang Xing, the new ruler of Longtang City, is better not a person from the An family, or has no relationship with the An family. According to the news sent back by the spies, Huang Xing had a grudge with Shi Wang before, and recently succeeded in defeating Shi Wang with the help of a super master.

This means that the killing of King Shi is just a reorganization of internal forces in northern Myanmar, which should have nothing to do with the An family, and besides, the An family does not have this strength, otherwise, the An family would have fought back against the Zhou family a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianyu said in a low voice: "Grandfather, the border business you created before has been completely interrupted for some reason, and we have also been investigated by the Security Bureau, and the second uncle has been detained by the Security Bureau. I also got bad news just now, your friend, Mr. Shiwang, has been killed in the civil strife......"

Without waiting for Zhou Tianyu to finish speaking, the Great Elder's face had become extremely solemn, in order to allow the Zhou family to quickly accumulate capital and obtain strong financial support, the Great Elder Zhou Zhou Hui personally went to the border area, and spent several years to successfully establish a smuggling channel, which can bring hundreds of millions of net income to the Zhou family every year. In order to monopolize the supply of jadeite, the Great Elder Zhou Yihui chose to support the Stone King and make him the city lord of Longtang City......

But now, not a single qiē is gone, and more than ten years of hard work and maintenance have been ruined in a short period of time. Zhou Tianyu's words, the Great Elder had no heart to listen.

The Great Elder slapped the table violently, the expensive mahogany table was instantly shattered, and the atmosphere in the hall became very depressed and dull. For fear of angering the Great Elder.

"Bastards, a bunch of idiots, the foundation I've worked so hard to build has been ruined by you incompetent idiots." The Great Elder said angrily, because of the retreat cultivation and reaching the Xuan level as soon as possible, the Great Elder put down the family industry, and he hadn't asked much for more than ten years, but he didn't expect to get so much bad news when they went out of the customs together today.

"Send someone to get Zhou Long's evil obstacle back immediately, I want to ask him, what has he done all these years? unexpectedly destroyed the thriving Zhou family. Great Elder Zhou Hui said angrily.

The angry Great Elder was very terrifying, and almost all of them stood up, wanting to go to Zhou Long and take the opportunity to leave this oppressive place. Even the most favored eldest son, Zhou Tianyu, was a little unbearable.

The Great Elder said coldly, "Just sit down and arrange for the servants to go and find them." ”
