Nanjun is the general name of the southernmost region of the Hongjun Empire, the Nanjun region is vast, the water and soil are abundant, the climate is pleasant, it is the "second Chihong city-state" of the Hongjun Empire, the southern county includes the Xiyue and Nanqiang two fields, and the one in charge of the southern county is the imperial great sage division, but the current great sage division only implements superficial management of the southern county, and the direct supervisor is Ximen Zhu and Nangong Chiba, the heads of the two families of Ximen and Nangong.

The Ximen family is the feudal family of Nanjun, which means that Nanjun is actually managed by the Ximen family. In ancient times, the center of Nanjun was Nanjun, and after the Simon family established the Shuishui City-State, the Shui-Shishui City-State became the central city-state of Nanjun.

The city-state named after the genius patriarch of the slaughterer Ximen Zhishui has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and the water-stopping city-state is located at the southern gate of the Hongjun Empire, where the north leads to the Central Plains and the south reaches the border, and the east is border, and it is a city-state extending in all directions. It can be seen that the important geographical location and military value of the water-stopping city-state.

As the head of the Ximen family, Ximen Zhu has been busy with harassment from some enemy countries in recent days, and now he can finally rest. Because the Yaslan Empire in the southwest suddenly attacked the border area half a year ago, and the war that had been pacified for many years suddenly broke out again, although the combat strength of the Aslan and Hongjun Empires was far apart, but the enemy had been fatigued for a long time, neither attacking nor retreating, but fortunately, Yaslan's troops retreated three days ago, and he also had time to take care of the affairs of his family.

As soon as Ximen Zhu returned home for half a year, he knew that his baby daughter Ximen Cangyue had returned, and as soon as he entered the door, his confidant Ximen Ying came to report: The alliance secretly sent a letter.

It was in the afternoon, the weather was very good, Ximen Zhu and Ximen Cangyue, the father and daughter, walked at the foot of the back mountain of the palace, Ximen Cangyue had recovered very well, but still could not be strenuous activities, so Ximen Zhu took her out for a walk every day.

"Yue'er, if it's really as you said, then this kid Shangguan Yuanji is sincere to you." Ximen Zhu took Cangyue's hand.

"Yuan Ji almost died in order to save me, Ziyan also fought hard, I saw it in my eyes." Ximen Cangyue said.

"You're lucky to have escaped from the watershed, and you must thank Rhein Grus for the chance." Simon Zhu Nian said, "But as far as I know, this man was a lone wolf in the past, and he would never leave his life to save others, but you said that Dongfang Ziyan saved him, it seems that Rhine is a person who values morality more than life." ”

"Uncle Rhein is a good man." Ximen Cangyue said silently, "Even if he killed a lot of people before. ”

"Yue'er, we digress, what I want to say is that after a while, when the human world is stable, I want you to get married to Shangguan Yuanjian as soon as possible, and it will be okay for our Ximen family to make a marriage contract with the older generation of the Shangguan family." Ximen Zhu said with a smile.

"Father, how old am I......" Ximen Cangyue lowered her head a little embarrassed, "Besides, the situation in the world is unstable now, and I don't want to leave my father." ”

"It's true that the world is unstable, but sooner or later you will leave me, don't be like a child anymore, from your teacher Frey who led this series of events, to your escape from the river basin, you should understand the preciousness of life." Simon Zhu said earnestly.

"I know father, I'm not a kid anymore. There are some things that I know in my own mind. Ximen Cangyue said.

"Okay, your injuries have just healed, don't talk about these things, things will always have a result when they develop to a certain extent," Ximen Zhu raised his head, after all, when he was not confused, he also saw the traces left by the years on his face. "Let's take a walk."

"Hmm!" Ximen Cangyue responded obediently.

The night was getting deeper, Ximen Zhu and the elder of the family, Ximen Wuliang, were sitting in the office discussing something, the light in the room was soft, but Ximen Zhu was a little tired, he rubbed his eyebrows.

"Master, it's time to rest for a while." Simon Wuliang put down the file in his hand, "These trivial matters are handled by the old man." ”

"Uncle is already in the age of sixties, how can I be embarrassed to bother you, let Ah Yue try to take over, after all, he is the eldest son in the family, and it is time to learn to inherit my position." Ximen Zhu said.

The elder sighed, "Family Master, to tell you the truth, the eldest young master is not talented enough, and he has been arrogant and greedy since he was a child, I am afraid it will be difficult to be a son of the world." At this time, Ximen Zhu raised his head and stared at the old man in front of him with ice-blue eyes, "Oh? What is my uncle's opinion, to be honest, I am hesitant about the determination of the son of the world. ”

"What the old man said was disrespectful to the ancestors, and I ask the head of the family to forgive me," Ximen Wuliang bowed his head and said, "According to the old man's humble opinion, the county lord Ximen Cangyue is the best candidate for the successor of the Ximen family." "The reason why Ximen Wuliang said this is because among the human race, including the royal Hongjun family, the feudal king of each family will choose a son from among his descendants to become the future head of the family when he reigns for fifteen years, and the selection of heirs often causes the family to become scattered. There were not too many obstacles when Dongfang Xiao inherited the position of the head of the Dongfang family from Dongfang Caesar, the reason was that Dongfang Xiao's strength was extraordinary, his three younger brothers had long been loyal to him, and the older generation of the family was also convinced of him, so there was no dispute for succession.

Ximen Zhu took a heavy breath, his eyes were sluggish for a few seconds, and then he slowly spoke, "Uncle originally thought of it with me, but how can the two of us be able to determine the matter of establishing the heir of the family, since ancient times, the elder has not been established, and there is no reason for the position of the head of the family to be passed on to the woman, I am afraid that this will violate the bottom line of those old feudalism in the family." Especially the fourth grandfather and cousin. ”

"As long as the head of the family is ruthless, no one can stop your wishes, don't forget how the fourth and the old watch stop them, after all, they are not the direct line of the Simon family, in the end, our own family's affairs have to be handled by ourselves." Simon said with a dull face.

"Let's talk about this after a while," Ximen Zhu pressed his finger to his bamboo acupoint, "Uncle, I've always felt a little uneasy and troubled lately. ”

"Maybe I'm too tired, let's take more rest." Simon Wuliang put the replaced teacup in front of him.

"It shouldn't be ......" Ximen Zhu's eyes widened and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Simon Immeasurable had never seen him like this.
