Chapter 16: Desire for Trial
At the beginning of the sun, the cheap father Chen Ba had already sent someone to summon Chen Jiu to the clan hall to discuss matters, the council hall was solemn and solemn, it was a place for the clan to discuss important matters, and Chen Jiu stepped into it for the first time.
The cheap father who sat in the first place, serious and upright, and the elders of the clan who were in two rows also bowed their heads to him.
"Xiao Jiu, I've seen my father, elders, I don't know what happened to summon Xiao Jiu here?"
Chen Jiu was very obedient and asked out loud.
"Ahem..."
Cheap Daddy Chen Ba, looking at the youngest son who was outstanding and energetic at this moment, was quite satisfied, he cleaned up his mood and seemed to be organizing language, and said: "Xiao Jiu, you are just ten years old this year, according to the clan rules, you need to go to the family trial, yesterday when the clan was compared, you asked to go to the alien area for the family trial, is it true?"
"Yes! ”
Chen Jiu replied loudly, "Cheap Daddy was obviously gracious yesterday, why is he asking again?" Chen Jiu was puzzled.
Chen Ba solemnly emphasized: "Do you know that in the past ten years, the results of the trials of the clansmen in the alien region? Very few clansmen have retreated safely, and it is extremely dangerous!"
He knows very well that since the bloody battle in Shuguan ten years ago, the regional forces of the human race outside Shuguan have been swept away by the alliance of the four races, although under his leadership in the past ten years, some local human forces have been restored, but it is precisely because of this that these places have often become the most dangerous places for the trials of young people in the clan, and they have been concerned and harassed by foreign races.
In view of the fact that in the past ten years, the trials of the young people of the clan in the alien area have suffered heavy losses, and in recent years, the trials of the young people of the clan have begun to be arranged in other places, and the clansmen who have conducted the trials in the alien area.
Very few!
What Chen Jiu did during this time, as the patriarch of the Chen clan, Chen Ba, who was the head of the town, was naturally clear, and the elders in the clan naturally knew everything. After discussion, the patriarch elders were still willing to give Chen Jiu a chance: "The opportunity to choose the place of trial again." The elders of the clan do not want the unicorn in the clan to die prematurely, and their love for him is beyond words.
"I don't know, but I've made up my mind!"
Chen Jiu replied calmly and firmly.
"Okay! worthy of being my son! In that case, it is not hypocritical to be a father, I wonder where you want to go to the alien region this time?"
Chen Jiu confirmed: "I am willing to go to the forefront of the Namei tribe soldiers, I want to make the Namei tribe pay the price of blood, to comfort the heroic spirit ten years ago, and also to comfort the people who sacrificed their lives for the child and died bravely when the child was attacked!"
Chen Ba's expression was complicated, and the elders of the clan who attended the meeting also looked slightly moved. Everyone knows: the Namei tribe and the Shuzhou Chen clan have a blood feud, and the place where Chen Jiu chose to test this time can be described as the most dangerous place!
"Accurate!"
Chen Ba chose to support without any hesitation.
"February 2, the day the dragon raises its head, it is the time for you to set off, Xiao Jiu must not slack off during this period, be sure to prepare properly, if there is any request for the family to fully meet, you go!"
Chen Ba immediately determined the matter of Chen Jiu's trial, and waved his hand to signal Chen Jiu to retire, as if he was annoying to see a "disgusting" mosquito.
"Big brother, is it okay for Xiao Jiu to be the concubine of the Chen family's main clan?" Chen Lingyun, the dean of the Chen Academy and Chen Jiu's third uncle, kept looking at Chen Jiu, and after he respectfully retreated and turned to leave, he asked the eldest brother Chen Ba with concern.
"Big brother, Xiao Jiu's trial is full of dangers, can you send out the family shadow guard to protect it?" Chen Lingzhi, Chen Jiu's second uncle and the leader of the family's dark forces, also asked Chen Ba out loud.
"Big brother, can you fully supply Xiao Jiu with the resources of the treasure house in the clan to help him?" Chen Lingxiao, who controls the treasure house in the clan, is also Chen Jiu's fourth uncle, who also asked.
"Big brother, there has been an undercurrent within the dynasty recently, there are unknown forces, and they want to be unfavorable to my Shuzhou Chen family several times, this time Xiao Jiu went to the frontier of the border pass, I am afraid that someone will obstruct it, do you want to launch a plan in advance, rectify the border pass soldiers, and prevent it from happening?" Chen Lingfeng, the waiter of the Dynasty Rite Department, Chen Jiu's fourteenth uncle reminded him.
Many clansmen present in the council hall also agreed with the proposal of the four at this moment, the Shuzhou Chen clan stands on the mainland of Zhongzhou, thousands of years of unfading, bloodline, the most important thing is: the clansmen work together, and there are many talents!
"Xiao Jiu's trial is his own choice, there is nothing wrong with it, I support it. ”
"The young eagle must eventually grow up and spread its wings and fly high, since it is his choice, everything is as usual, and there is no need to specially arrange shadow guards to protect it. ”
"I promised Xiao Jiu to give him the privilege of this trial, only this once! If he needs it, please try to meet it as much as possible. ”
"As for the affairs of the court, please also ask the fourteenth brother to bother, rectify the military post to clean up the spies, and ensure the absolute authority of my Chen clan in Shuguan, this matter is urgent, and the ninth uncle is hereby asked to personally supervise it!"
After Chen Ba answered the brothers' inquiries, he asked his elder, the ninth uncle, Chen Weidao, very solemnly.
Chen Weidao, Chen Ba's ninth uncle, the defender of the Chen clan in Shuzhou, controls the Shuguan military camp, has great authority in the army, and is one of the representative figures of the Chen clan in the Shuguan army.
"Ba'er!
"Xiao Jiu, this child, I look pleasing to the eye, there is blood worthy of family cultivation, leave it to me, you can rest assured. ”
"I will personally arrange the affairs of the Shuguan military camp, and I will never miss a single miscellaneous fish! I haven't opened meat for a long time, but this time I finally have a chance, hahaha......"
Chen Weidao patted his chest and promised Chen Ba with arrogance.
After discussing Chen Jiu's topic, the Chen clan meeting continued, and Chen Ba then presided over the meeting, and he began to show and tell the reliable information he received to the participants.
Chen Ba analyzed that the current internal turmoil of the Shu Han Dynasty was turbulent, the country of the border was strong, the foreign tribes were ready to move, the beast tribes would hunt Zhongzhou, and the Chen clan of Shuzhou guarded the Shu Pass of the Dynasty, and governed the land of Shuzhou and Luzhou with the border pass.
It's the land of four wars!
It is bordered by 100,000 mountains and forests controlled by the alien Namei tribe, the Xudu tribe, the Tiansha tribe and the Guigu tribe in the west, Lizhou, an important town of the Duan Dynasty in the south, Jingzhou, an important place of the Wu clan in the east, and the beast tribe and the wolf tribe in the north.
Now there are signs that the king of the Shu Han Dynasty of the Liu family is seriously ill, the princes are vying for the throne, and the internal turmoil is surging. Especially in the area under the jurisdiction of the Chen clan in Shuzhou, all forces are moving when they hear the wind, and they are all preparing for the possible upcoming war.
"Shuzhou Chen, if you want to survive and develop in this upcoming storm, you still need to work together to find a way out!"
After Chen Ba finished speaking, he looked around at everyone, his expression was solemn, and his tone was calm but very solemn.
"Big brother, is the situation really so serious? Is this storm unavoidable?" After listening to Chen Ba's analysis, the fourth brother Chen Lingzhi was in a heavy mood and asked out loud.
"It's difficult, I'm afraid the king is ...... I'm afraid time is running out, and the Shu Han Dynasty will soon have a new king!" Chen Ba's tone was full of sadness, as if he was remembering, remembering the unforgettable scenes of the past.
"What? Isn't the king in the prime of life today, in the heyday of his youth? Why is there not much time left?" Chen Lingyun lost his temper.
"It is my sworn brother, and I only know that the Holy Superior -- Liu Qi Mi Zhao gave it to me, and I only knew! The Holy Mi Zhaoli implored me with brotherly affection to lead the Shuzhou Chen clan to support the crown prince, Liu Neng, to succeed to the throne after he returned to the west. ”
Chen Ba's tone was sad, revealing Mi Zhao.
