Chapter 12: The Six Great Families

Seeing Cui Wentao, Zhou Rui had to admit that the first son of Ganyang City was indeed personable, no wonder he was able to marry the eldest lady of the Liu family, the first of the four beauties in Ganyang City-Liu Yiqiu.

Oh, by the way, it seems that Liu Yiqiu is not married to Cui Wentao yet!

In the last life, after Zhou Rui hid in a Colosseum in Silk City, he had been trying his best to collect news about Wei Jie and the major families in Ganyang City, hoping to avenge his parents and sister one day.

The Cui family in Ganyang later also took refuge in Wei Jie, and Cui Wentao also became a general under Wei Jie.

But Zhou Rui heard that Cui Wentao sent his wife to Wei Jie's bed in order to make Wei Jie accept the Cui family, and he didn't know if it was true.

That's Liu Yiqiu, who is the most beautiful in Ganyang City, Cui Wentao is really willing!

"Master Cui, you are very familiar with the three warships that our Zhou family bought!" Zhou Rui said with a smile.

Cui Wentao didn't seem to hear the meaning of Zhou Rui's words, and still said with a smile: "In the future, Ganyang City will be safer with these three battleships with strong combat effectiveness."

All the people of Ganyang City should be grateful to Brother Zhou! ”

Another young man who followed Shen Zhi then said with a smile: "Xiao Rui, you can make a big surprise for our Ganyang City this time, if you have time another day, call Chen Bin, let's get together." ”

The young man who spoke was Chen Kai, the eldest son of Chen Xian, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Fengwu Army, that is, Chen Bin's eldest brother.

Because of Chen Bin's relationship, Zhou Rui actually had a good relationship with Chen Kai, but in the previous life, the troops of the Fifth Division of the Fengwu Army who chased and killed Zhou Rui's family were led by Chen Kai himself.

The person who shot Zhou Rui's mother, Wen Yu, was also a soldier under Chen Kai.

"Brother Kai is also here." Zhou Rui said in a flat tone.

Chen Kai is also on Zhou Rui's must-kill list, but Zhou Rui knows that now is not the time for his revenge.

In addition to Cui Wentao and Chen Kai, Pang Bo of the Pang family, Dong Bixin of the Dong family, and Kong Youpeng of the Kong family also followed behind Shen Zhi.

At present, the Cui family, the Chen family, the Pang family, the Dong family, the Kong family and the Zhou family in Ganyang City are also known as the six major families of Ganyang because they all control the military power.

In addition to the six major families, the only one who has military power in Ganyang City is Shen Zhi, who represents the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, and the city lord Sun Quan has a city defense regiment in charge of public security.

Zhou Rui chatted with everyone for a while, and then used the excuse that there was still military affairs to deal with, preparing to drive people away.

You must know that in the previous life, except for Shen Zhi, who represented the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, the other five families were all murderers who caused the fall of the Zhou family.

If it weren't for living at the bottom of society for more than ten years, Zhou Rui learned to forbear, he would have set up a machine gun to surprise this group of enemies.

When Shen Zhi heard this, he said with a smile: "I just received three warships, and there are indeed a lot of things waiting for Zhou Xian's nephew to deal with, so we people won't bother here."

There is one thing, don't forget Zhou Xian's nephew, at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, City Lord Sun will hold a meeting in the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the rotation of troops at that time and space node in Panlong Mountain in the second half of the year.

The heads of the major families in Ganyang City must be present in person, but your father's current situation can be represented by you when the time comes. ”

More than 200 years ago, many nodes in different time and space suddenly appeared in various regions of the world.

Immediately, countless orcs and fierce beasts entered this world in a steady stream through different space-time nodes like the gate of time and space, and a war between humans, orcs, and fierce beasts that killed each other broke out.

At that time, the Han and Tang Empires were fortunate that the eighty-eight nodes in different time and space that appeared in the territory were all fierce beasts.

And those human countries that poured out of orcs in different time and space nodes in the territory were basically wiped out by orcs in the end, thus establishing the six orc states today.

The Han and Tang Empires, which were founded by force, were recognized as the world's most powerful countries at the time, with a land area of more than 16 million square kilometers.

Even due to the strength of the Han and Tang Empires, other countries in the world even adopted the Han and Tang Empire's Tianyuan calendars.

However, the sudden appearance of a large number of fierce beasts in various places still made the Han and Tang Empires, which had more than two million elite troops and tens of millions of warriors, tired to cope.

In the end, the imperial court of the Han and Tang Empires had no choice but to appoint hundreds of envoys of all sizes who could control the military, finance, and personnel of various regions, so as to better coordinate the resources of each region and deal with this beast crisis.

The area under the control of the Jiedu envoy was then called "feudal town".

However, it is easy to put down the rights, but it is difficult to take them back.

Waiting for the eighty-eight nodes in different time and space in the territory of the Han and Tang Empires, a large number of fierce beasts no longer poured out in a steady stream, and the fierce beasts that had entered the territory were also suppressed to a certain extent, but the Han and Tang Empires had already formed a situation of separating feudal towns.

Today, there are only 24 of the hundreds of feudal towns in the Han and Tang Empires, and after continuous conquest and annexation with each other.

In addition to the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Tiansheng City, there are also some villages and towns around Tiansheng City and four acropolises, which are still in the hands of the imperial court of the Han and Tang Empires.

Hundreds of other cities in the Han and Tang Empires, as well as tens of thousands of villages and towns, were controlled by twenty-four feudal towns.

At present, the eighty-eight nodes in different time and space in the territory of the Han and Tang Empires are all stationed with the armies of various feudal towns to guard against the fierce beasts that emerge from different time and space nodes from time to time.

About 100 kilometers west of Ganyang City, in Panlong Mountain, there is a different time and space node, which has been stationed by the garrison of Ganyang City in turn.

In the previous life, Zhou Rui took care of eating, drinking and having fun every day, where would he go to such a meeting, it should be the second uncle Zhou Xiaorong who participated in this meeting on behalf of the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Rui suddenly remembered at this moment that it was not the turn of the Zhou family to send troops to garrison the different time and space nodes of Panlong Mountain in the second half of the year.

However, after this meeting, for some reason, the garrison brigade, which had just broken its muscles and bones, sent the Third Infantry Regiment to Panlong Mountain.

As a result, at the end of September, a beast tide broke out at the different time and space nodes of Panlong Mountain, and several lord-level fierce beasts even appeared among them.

In this sudden beast tide, the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the garrison brigade not only suffered heavy losses, but also caused the defense line of the node in different time and space to be lost, causing many villages and towns near Panlong Mountain to be destroyed by a large number of fierce beasts, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured.

The Zhou family also brought a lot of negative effects because the troops of the garrison brigade did not stop the beast tide, and even the military rank of Zhou Rui's father, Zhou Xiaozheng, was demoted from major general to colonel by Fengwu Jiedu Mansion because of this incident.

Later, Zhou Rui asked his second uncle Zhou Xiaorong, why did the garrison brigade rotate in advance and go to the different time and space nodes of Panlong Mountain?

Zhou Xiaorong just sighed, and never told Zhou Rui the real reason.

"General Shen, at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the meeting on behalf of my father."

In the evening, in a study in Cui's mansion, Cui Wentao reported to his father Cui Hong in a deep voice: "Father, the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet has received those three warships.

If you wait for the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet to completely let one all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers form combat effectiveness, it will not be easy to bring down the Zhou family. ”

Cui Hong nodded slightly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, Wen Tao, think of a way for your father."

Now the most important thing for you is to marry that girl from the Liu family!

Now that Liu Dongsheng is seriously ill, and Liu Dongsheng has only one daughter, if you can marry the girl of the Liu family, then the billions of the Liu family's wealth will all belong to you! ”

Cui Wentao smiled confidently, "Father, rest assured, Liu Yiqiu has a deep love for me, and the billions of wealth of the Liu family will eventually become the help of my Cui family." ”
