Ziyong, who had escorted Di Xin to Kyushu back then, was the third elder.

The twenty-one elders, most of them are from the lineage, and they may be the sons and brothers of a great merchant king.

A small part comes from the branches, after all, the resources and treatment of the lineage are much better.

However, although there are differences, they are the same group of people who are the most loyal to the big merchants.

And the lineage and branch veins are not much different until now.

Because the real heir, only the contemporary king, the others are branches with the development of time, in other words, only their own ability is the most important.

There are countless children of the Shang royal family, as long as they can reach a certain strength, that is, the fourth level of the quasi-saint in the eyes of Di Xin, and then after investigation, they can become a member of the elder group.

It's too hard, though.

If it weren't for the large number of people, plus the advantages of status and identity, the Dashang royal family would not have been able to accumulate these twenty-one people.

Among these twenty-one people, the strength prevails.

Whoever is strong is in front, naked strength is respected, of course, it is only approximately, and there is no real life-and-death struggle between each other.

Twenty-one quasi-saint powerhouses from the fourth to sixth levels, this power is very powerful and precious, and it will not be used easily.

It was also one of the important forces for the Shang royal family to consolidate royal power and suppress the Quartet.

To a certain extent, the whole is much more important than a generation of kings.

"See the King!" said the twenty-one people in unison.

Di Xin waved his hand lightly, signaling them to excuse himself, and said calmly: "The big war is about to start, what do you elders think?"

The elders' expressions became a little more serious, and they all saluted again: "The ministers swear to obey the king's orders." ”

"Good. Di Xin responded lightly and ordered directly: "Second Elder, you take the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder to Bei Bohou to help him stabilize the situation and act carefully." ”

"Yes. The four saluted.

"Eleventh and twelfth elders, you two go to the east and south to monitor the situation. ”

"Yes. ”

"Fourth Elder, you and the Seventh Elder are guarding the ancestral land, and no one is allowed to move without Lone's order. ”

"Yes. ”

............

One order after another, one after another, was issued continuously, and soon, about half of the elders got the order, and they were a little surprised in their hearts, because these orders did not fight Ji Chang head-on.

You know, they're all ready to die in battle.

"The rest of the elders stayed in the palace of the king of men, ready to be called. Di Xin glanced at everyone and said lightly.

"Yes. The elders, who had not received the order, saluted.

"It's all gone. Di Xin waved his hand.

"Yes, the ministers are retired. The twenty-one elders saluted, their eyes remained silent, and they all looked at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder swept away his eyes and looked at the Third Elder Ziyong.

Ziyong acted as if he hadn't seen it, and followed the other elders to slowly salute and retreat.

The corners of the Great Elder's mouth twitched as he stepped out.

Soon, the elders who received the order immediately scattered, and the rest were led by the chamberlain to a palace.

When the chamberlain retreated, the Great Elder and the others rested in their own rooms, as if nothing was wrong.

Not much.

The voice of the Great Elder came into the ears of the Third Elder, "Why don't you speak?"

Ziyong sat cross-legged, always domineering and heroic, a little helpless: "Great Elder, why do you have to ask me to speak?"

"In today's situation, we can't put pressure on the king together, we can only speak alone, you have protected the king after all, and you know better. The Great Elder's calm voice rang out.

Ziyong pursed his lips, as if he was even more helpless: "The king should have his own sense of proportion in his heart, why should I say more?"

"It's about my Great Business Inheritance, how can you be careless?" the Great Elder's voice became a little more serious.

Ziyong's expression was even more helpless, and the things in his heart resurfaced, instinctively, he had a sense of emptiness, and shook his head: "No, I won't go." ”

"What are you worried about?" the Great Elder's face furrowed, a little puzzled.

"Nothing. Ziyong shook his head again and didn't say anything.

There are some people who know a little about the things of the past, but because of the blockade of Di Yi, there are very few people who really know a little bit about it, and even the Great Elder only knows a little about it.

After a few breaths of silence, the Great Elder stopped persecuting and fell into silence.

After a while, he sighed faintly: "That's it, I'll go by myself." ”

As he spoke, he got up.

In this large hall, the elders in each room had different expressions, some were silent as if they hadn't heard, and some of them spoke one after another.

"Great Elder!"

"Great Elder, I'd better go. ”

"Great Elder!"

......

"Needless to say. The Great Elder waved his hand, and the figure had already left the house and the main hall.

Suddenly, the rest of the elders breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ziyong.

This matter is the obligation of the elder group, but now the situation is different, and they can only send someone to go alone, so as not to provoke the rebellion of the young king.

And the only ones who can represent the elder group and appear to have weight in front of the king of people are the first four elders.

It is most appropriate for the Great Elder to go.

Of course, the most important point is that this kind of thing, if it is not necessary, they really don't want to mention it in front of the human king.

Especially this king of people who make them feel suppressed instinctively and feel unfathomable.

The Great Elder went alone, just right.

On the other side, stepping out of the main hall, the Great Elder couldn't help but curse in his heart: "A group of little rabbit cubs." ”

Even with his status, he really doesn't want to face the king of people in this matter.

But there is no way, the four elders who can go, the second and fourth elders have already left by means of the task, and the third elder is tough and does not go, and he is the only one.

What a mistake!

Thinking lightly in his heart, he soon came to the apse of the palace of the king of people.

......

"See the Great King!" He saluted quite decently and honorably, and the Great Elder looked very plain.

Di Xin raised his hand slightly, a flash of inquiry flashed in his eyes, and he said meaningfully, "What is the important matter of the Great Elder?"

The Great Elder's heart was slightly cold, and he felt that his purpose seemed to be seen through at a glance.

His eyes lowered slightly, and he said calmly: "The king, the ministers are here just for one thing." ”

"It just so happens that Lone also has something to ask the Great Elder. After a pause, Di Xin looked at the Great Elder and said.

The Great Elder was slightly stunned, and said without shock: "What's the matter with the king, just ask directly." ”

"The ministers of the previous dynasty suggested isolating the prince, do you think, do they all think that Lone will be defeated?" Di Xin said calmly and indifferently with a deep look in his eyes.

The Great Elder's eyes moved slightly, he didn't look directly at those eyes, and he was silent for a few breaths before he said: "The ministers of the previous dynasty are also for the foundation of the great business, and the king doesn't have to care. ”

"Don't care. Di Xin smiled slightly, "Since the Great Elder said that he doesn't need to care, then he doesn't have to care, what's the matter with the Great Elder?"

"The minister thinks that at this moment, our elders should be at the forefront, and I ask the king for permission. The Great Elder didn't want to say anything, so he directly changed his purpose.

Because he could already feel the anger of the other party.

After much thought, he chose to back down.

After all, the king is young, and this is not the time for them to be tough.

Having lived for more than a million years and experienced countless ups and downs, he understands this very well.

Di Xin smiled casually again, and said calmly: "Elders don't have to think about it, my Great Shang will definitely win." ”

"Yes. The Great Elder replied calmly.

Without further ado, the Great Elder stepped back, and Di Xin was not angry.

The Council of Elders would say that it was expected that the Prince would be established, and that it was their duty.

Especially the fact that the Great Elder chose to back down, which made him think highly of three points.

However, in a small matter, he can feel that this seems to be a big businessman who respects him, but in fact there are various rules.

For more than 800,000 years, the countless rules that have been formed are actually around him, restricting him at all times.

It's just that because of this special moment, these rules have chosen to back down.

But after that time has passed......

This is different from the few small worlds he has experienced, in which he can forcibly break the limits, although the restrictions are also great.

In this desolation, but not not.

The reason is simple, there are more restrictions outside of big business.
