The magnates who came this time are no longer the young generation who came from the opening day of Xiao Mo Restaurant, but they are all the leading figures in the powerful families of Luodu and the wealthy businessmen.

The appearance of this thing in Shenmu is not a place for the younger generation to live, not to mention that the signatory of this invitation letter is Quan Zhi'an, although Quan Zhi'an is an old eunuch, but if you really talk about the actual rights of Quan Zhi'an, I am afraid that there are really few people in Luodu who can compare with it.

The inner city of Luodu is not very large, and the roads are wide and convenient, so for these Luodu magnates in a hurry, this exit from the inner city is only a slight delay.

And the tributary of the Yi River, where Xiao Mo and Quan Zhi'an are located, has not left the outer city of Luodu, and it is also very close to the banks of the most prosperous Yi River, so it didn't take long for the cars of the powerful people to appear in the sight of Xiao Mo and others.

There are not a few ox carts that have come one after another, and there are many that Xiao Mo is familiar with, such as the Wang family, the Xiao family and the Xie family, these three families have a complicated relationship with Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo naturally knows them all one by one.

Wang Zhanpeng himself is naturally from the Wang family, and Wang Zhanpeng has always trusted and supported Xiao Mo, which is also the fundamental reason why Xiao Mo's feelings for the Wang family are extremely special.

However, the person from the Xiao family was not Xiao Mo's cheap father Xiao Le'an, but a middle-aged man dressed in green clothes with a beautiful beard, this middle-aged man was quite similar in appearance to Xiao Le'an, and he was also elegant and handsome, and he was even more handsome than Xiao Le'an when he looked closely.

Xiao Mo doesn't have to think about it to know that this middle-aged man must be his second uncle Xiao Lecheng, whom he has never met. This Xiao Lecheng is the younger brother of Xiao Mo's cheap father Xiao Le'an, the second master of the Luo Du Xiao family, and Xiao Feiyang's biological father. Although Xiao Mo has never seen this person, it does not mean that Xiao Mo does not know this person.

As for the person from the Xie family, it is the biological father of Xie Wanqing that Xiao Mo saw on the drum and picking flowers that day, Xie Hongwen, the head of the Xie family, the relationship between Xie Hongwen and Xiao Mo is also a little complicated, although there is really no blood relationship, but according to the generation, this Xie Hongwen is indeed Xiao Mo's uncle. The family's own sister is indeed the wife of Xiao Mo's cheap father Xiao Le'an.

Xiao Mo, who came from other powerful families, didn't know much about it, and Xiao Mo could only identify which one came from through the signs of each family.

Like the Dugu family, there was a middle-aged man Xiao Mo had never seen before, this middle-aged man looked at Xiao Mo on the boat with a smile on his face, and nodded from time to time, which made Xiao Mo a little confused, could it be that this middle-aged man was familiar with himself?

And the He Ruo family came from an old man who was about the same age as Old Man Han, this old man didn't look at the white hair, but his face was ruddy, burly and strong, if he just looked at the head below, the tendons and flesh could not match his age at all.

In the end, there is one family that makes Xiao Mo look sideways, this family is the eldest grandson family, and the ancestral home of the eldest grandson family is also in Luodu. At this time, although the eldest grandson's family was still inferior to the Dugu family, Xiao Mo knew very well that this family was not simple, and when it came to the Tang Dynasty, this family was extremely bullish.

When these people came, Xiao Mo and Quan Zhi'an naturally wanted to welcome them to the boat upstairs, which was not only a proper courtesy, but also to facilitate these powerful people to watch the whole salvage live broadcast of Shenmu.

The space on the deck of this building is not small, and although there are many people here, there are only a few who are qualified to go upstairs to the ship. After all, Luodu is much worse than the imperial capital Daxing, and it is impossible to casually come to a powerful person, that is, an important member of the imperial court.

went upstairs to the deck of the ship, and after a polite greeting, in Wang Zhanpeng's quiet disclosure, Xiao Mo learned the identity of the middle-aged man in the Dugu family and the old man of He Ruo's family.

The middle-aged man with a smile on his face is called Dugu Cheng, the youngest son of Dugu Xin, and the seventh among his brothers. is also the younger brother of Queen Dugu, and he is the son of Dugu Bai, who Xiao Mo is familiar with. This middle-aged man's official position is not small, but now he is an official residence in Youzhou

, which is considered the governor of a state. However, most of the time this kind of position is a fictitious position, just like the title of later generations, many times it is just a name, and there is no actual right.

And Xiao Mo also knows some things that others don't know, this Dugu Quan, as one of the few longest-living sons of Dugu Xin, did not die until Yang Guang was the emperor's great career, and was posthumously presented by Yang Guang with the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, Pingxiang Hou.

However, this kind of person is a noble person by nature, and it is not very difficult to be given an official as Yang Guang's uncle. And Xiao Mo thinks that if anyone who has three sisters who are the mother of a country and is the queen, can this kind of person not be born noble?

As for the old man from He Ruobi's family, he is He Ruobi's second uncle, He Ruoyi, who is also a rare fierce general, who is close to ancient times and has good martial arts.

It's just that Xiao Mo saw this He Ruoyi at this time, and then remembered a joke recorded in later generations, the record of Xiao Mo remembered that the birth time of this He Ruoyi was set in the Tang Dynasty, but the description of the record said that this He Ruoyi was already an official in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he was more than seventy years old in the early years of the emperor. Xiao Mo really didn't know if these records were written so hastily without figuring out the order of the dynasties.

And the person from the eldest grandson's family is an extremely ordinary middle-aged man, the eldest grandson, Xiao Mo really has no image of this person, and in the historical records in his memory, this person is just a name that appeared in the biography of Changsun Sheng, which makes people know that this person is the eldest brother of Changsun Sheng. Nothing else is known.

However, this person's younger brother Changsun Sheng was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty in history, and at this time in the middle of May of the third year of the emperor's reign, Changsun Sheng happened to be fighting Tuyuhun in the north. And the four sons and daughters of Changsun Sheng are incredible characters, one is the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhao Guogong, the Tang Dynasty Lieutenant, and the twenty-four bachelors of Lingyan Pavilion are ranked first. One is Empress Wende of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's eldest wife, and the founder of "The Female Ring".

After some greetings, these bigwigs looked at a few dead trees on the side of the deck that were covered with silt and somewhat rotten, and these dead trees, except for the first one Quan Zhi'an, who broke the surface layer in order to find out what the treasure was, the rest remained unchanged and did not move at all. Because Xiao Mo knows very well that this kind of thing that has been buried in silt or river water for thousands of years, after taking it, the change of the environment is likely to change the beauty of its texture and form a fault.

Therefore, Xiao Mo was not in a hurry to take out the hearts of these dead trees, and as for Quan Zhi'an, he was even less in a hurry. To him, the appearance of this dead tree is much easier than the smooth and metal-free heart of the tree.

Which of these bigwigs on the deck is not the elite of this year, and when I look at it, I immediately understand what is going on. And the smooth and shiny heart of the tree is obviously placed there, how many of these big guys are illiterate? What's more, as Quan Zhi'an, will he pull down his face to deceive them?

Hearing and seeing the real thing are two completely different moods, these big guys are all excited at this time, this is Shenmu! For an old man like He Ruoyi, this divine tree is even more tempting.

And this group of bigwigs looked at the tributary in front of them again, and couldn't help but gasp, all of them knew the reason why this tributary had so many wooden bridges, but they had never connected the branches at the bottom of the river with the sacred trees. At this time, this group of bigwigs thought about it, if this river is full of divine trees, then it will be okay!

This group of bigwigs couldn't help but smile with joy on their faces, who would dislike Shenmu for having a lot of things? (To be continued.) )
