"Meet the head of the family!"

The representatives of the eighteen affiliated families of Zhaojiabao looked at Zhao Hu who was sitting on the main throne and said respectfully in unison.

"Please be seated."

Looking at the eighteen representatives of the affiliated families standing in the center of the living room, Zhao Hu squinted his eyes and said with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency the Head of the Xie Family." The representatives of the eighteen affiliated families in the center of the living room bowed down and said in unison.

"The eighteen of you represent the eighteen most important allies and companions of our Zhao family, I don't know if you have a noble cadre in our Zhao Family Fort today?" Zhao Hu glanced at the eighteen representatives of the affiliated families sitting on the soft and comfortable seats on both sides of the living room and asked loudly.

"Homecoming master, we are here to congratulate the family master on his smooth return to Zhaojiabao and exterminate Lin Hong and a group of traitors." As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, the representatives of the eighteen affiliated families hurriedly said in unison.

The representatives of these eighteen affiliated families are not ordinary people, they are all the young masters of each family, and they are also a way for each affiliated family to show their submission and loyalty to Zhao Hu.

The heads of the eighteen affiliated families originally had no fear of Zhao Hu, the new head of the family, and thought that he was just a yellow-haired boy!

It was impossible for his uncle Zhao Hong to be the opponent, so after Zhao Hu returned to Zhaojiabao, not only did they not come to congratulate him in time, but instead took the opportunity to encroach on many of the Zhao family's properties and territory.

However, when they got the news that Yang Feng, the captain of the escort team, was killed by Zhao Hu himself, most of the stewards of Zhaojiabao were ruthlessly cleansed, Zhao Hong's 50,000 army was wiped out, and Zhao Hong and the other five leaders of the coalition were ruthlessly killed, they were shocked in their hearts, and they all felt an inexplicable fear for Zhao Hu's ruthlessness and decisiveness, and hurriedly sent his son to visit Zhao Hu with a large number of precious gifts, hoping to ensure the safety of his family.

"Oh, so you're here to congratulate me on becoming the new head of the family! You don't come empty-handed, do you? Zhao Hu squinted his eyes, and his sharp gaze kept scanning back and forth on the eighteen young masters of the affiliated families in the living room for a while before he said lazily.

As for the purpose of congratulating the representatives of the eighteen affiliated families, Zhao Hu was very clear, that is, he wanted to confuse himself and prevent himself from acting in vain to their interests.

"Lord Home, our Feng family will send one fourth-order demon core, ten third-order magic cores, one hundred second-order magic cores, a hundred strings of pearls, and a piece of heavenly silk brocade as a congratulatory gift from the head of the family."

Although he was shocked by Zhao Hu's direct request for gifts, as the young master of the Feng family, the most powerful of the eighteen affiliated families, Feng Yu still stood up without hesitation and took the lead in offering the gifts to complete his father's task.

"Good! I'm satisfied! From today onwards, Tianmu Town will belong to the Feng family, and at the same time, I allow the Feng family to have no more than five thousand private soldiers. Seeing that the Feng family had given him so many magic cores, Zhao Hu said loudly with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Lord of the Family, for your reward!" Hearing that Zhao Hu rewarded Tianmu Town to his family and turned his own 5,000 private soldiers into regulars, Feng Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

"Our Xu family sent ten third-order magic cores, one hundred second-order magic cores, one hundred rubies and sapphires, and one piece of heavenly silk brocade." As soon as Feng Yu returned to his seat, the young master of the Xu family jumped out impatiently and said.

"Good, not bad. From today onwards, the ten villages west of Luoyu Town will be under the jurisdiction of your Xu family, and at the same time, I will allow your Xu family to have no more than three thousand private soldiers. Looking at the look of anticipation on the face of the young master of the Xu family, Zhao Hu did not let him down, and said with a smile.

The representatives of the other sixteen affiliated families couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that the Feng family and the Xu family had been rewarded with land and private soldier restrictions, and began to secretly regret that they had not asked their father to increase the number of gifts a little in order to obtain more land and private soldier restrictions.

Next, the representatives of the other sixteen affiliated families began to present gifts in turn, receiving more or less land rewards from Zhao Hu and the size of the private army, and then sat on the comfortable chairs with an excited face, thinking about how to ask his father for credit after returning to the family.

After a while, seventeen of the eighteen affiliated families had already given their gifts, leaving the last small family, the Yu family.

As a result, everyone's eyes in the living room were on Yu Ziming, the young master of the Yu family, waiting for him to present the gift so that they could talk about other topics.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Yu Ziming stood up with a confident face, walked to the center of the living room, looked at Zhao Hu and said respectfully: "Lord of the family, our Yu family is relatively weak, and there are not so many magic core treasures, therefore, our Yu family's gift this time, there is not a magic core that adults love, nor any precious jewelry, as long as one of our Yu family accidentally obtains a space ring, I hope the head of the family can be satisfied." ”

"Well, very good, I'm very satisfied. From today on, Wuyang Town, Longhai Town, and Sanshui Town are all under the jurisdiction of your Yu family, and at the same time, I allow your Yu family to have no more than 5,000 private soldiers. Hearing that Yu Ziming presented a precious space ring, Zhao Hu was overjoyed in his heart, and said loudly with excitement on his face.

Zhao Hu has been known for space rings for a long time, and he is very eager to have one, but the two space rings in Zhaojiabao have disappeared with the death of his parents.

The situation in Zhaojiabao is very unstable, so he has to suppress the idea of buying a space ring in the outside world first, and when the situation in Zhaojiabao is stable, he is trying to find a way to buy one.

Seeing that Yu Ziming offered a precious space ring and received the land of the three towns and the reward of the limit of five thousand private soldiers, the representatives of the other seventeen affiliated families were all shocked in their hearts.

They were not shocked that Yu Ziming presented a precious space ring, but shocked that Zhao Hu actually rewarded all three towns to the Yu family in one go.

You must know that a space ring is rare, but as long as there is a way, 100,000 gold coins can buy a space ring of tens of cubic meters, but the value of the three towns is far more than 100,000 gold coins, plus the restriction of 5,000 private soldiers, the Yu family can be regarded as making a lot of money, as long as it digests the population of the three towns, it can directly jump from the smallest family among the eighteen affiliated families to the second largest family after the Ma family.

Yu Ziming felt the jealous and envious gazes of everyone in the living room, there was no trace of pride and complacency on his face, and he did not immediately thank Zhao Hu for his gift, but looked at Zhao Hu sitting on the throne and said loudly: "Go home, my lord, our Yu family doesn't want so much land and private soldiers.

Our Yu family wants to sell the family's existing two towns to Zhaojiabao at a low price, in exchange for some gold coins, and move to Zhaojiabao to live and open a shop, hoping that the adults in the family can be gracious. ”

Hearing Yu Ziming's request, Zhao Hu's eyes flashed, he squinted, looked at him and said, "You really don't want those three towns, but want to sell the two towns of your Yu family to our Zhao Jiabao at a low price?" ”

Yu Ziming said with a firm face: "Yes, I hope that the head of the family will be gracious." ”

Glancing at Yu Ziming, who had a firm face, the corners of Zhao Hu's mouth showed a faint smile and said: "Okay, our Zhaojiabao will not take advantage of your Yu family, when you move to Zhaojiabao, I will arrange a big mansion for you and give you ten storefronts for the Yu family." ”

When Yu Ziming returned to his seat and sat down in the stunned eyes of everyone, Zhao Hu began to chat casually with the representatives of the eighteen affiliated families.

In more than half an hour of pleasant conversation, Zhao Hu promised many benefits to the representatives of the eighteen affiliated families and depicted a bright future.

And the young master of the seventeen affiliated families was also very knowledgeable and patted Zhao Hu's ass, saying that he would definitely become a generation of male masters, dominate the eastern region of the land of chaos, etc., only Yu Ziming, the young master of the Yu family, sat there quietly and didn't say a word.

In the end, everyone dispersed in a happy atmosphere, Zhao Hu returned to the bedroom to rest, and the young masters of the eighteen affiliated families did not stay for a meal, so they hurriedly returned to their own families.

"Father, from today onwards, Tianmu Town belongs to our Feng family, and at the same time, our Feng family's five thousand private soldiers do not need to be hidden, they can be used openly and openly to deter those small families who are against our family." In the Feng family's mansion, Feng Yu said excitedly to a middle-aged man with a tall figure, dignified appearance, and a pair of wise and deep eyes.

"Really? Yu'er, tell me in detail, what did you and the other young masters of the seventeen families say to our new family head Zhao Hu that day? Let him be happy to give Tianmu Town to our Feng family, and let our Feng family have 5,000 private soldiers. The dignified-looking middle-aged man, seeing Feng Yu's excited face, showed a thoughtful look on his face, and asked softly.

"Father, I'll tell you、、、、" Feng Yu began to tell his father everything he saw and heard in the Zhaojiabao Hall, and focused on Li Jiawang's reward for each family in the hall, as well as his efforts in the process of winning the reward of Tianmu Town, and told some of the Yu family's special performances with a puzzled face.
