Since Sima Yi introduced the concept of "seven days a week", the system of "five days of work and two days of rest" has also been widely accepted by all sectors of society.

Monday is the day when most of the Exotic Families hold clan affairs meetings to take stock of last week's work, and the Shendu Cheng Clan is naturally no exception.

Anyone who is eligible to attend the weekly clan council is a core member of the family—but it doesn't have to be.

Since the death of the old patriarch, the number of members of the clan council has dropped to 10. Among them, the old people, led by the second and third uncles, played the slogan of "let the newcomers exercise more", and basically did not come out to take care of things.

So at the weekly clan affairs meeting, except for Cheng Jinyang himself, basically only Cheng Huaiyan and Cheng Yuexian, two cousins and cousins, came to participate.

In fact, the power in the clan is basically in the hands of these three young people, and I don't know what method Cheng Ben and the old man used to successfully persuade the original clan advisors to hand over their power and retire from now on...... Of course, the current family situation is indeed very difficult, and if the infighting continues, it will definitely die, which is already the consensus of everyone.

On the other hand, although Cheng Jinyang was born in a poor family and became a naturalized citizen later, the network behind him is amazingly large, which is also an indisputable fact in the clan.

The royal family, the princess, and the family with five surnames...... All kinds of nobles gathered around him, and if there was anyone who could really bring the Shendu Cheng clan out of the quagmire, it was estimated that only he could do it.

After the clan affairs meeting, the strategy of jointly developing Shishou Mountain with the Hejian Xing clan was also finalized.

While it may seem a bit out of place to discuss this during the war, a closer look at the plunge in land and house prices around Jiankang City today reveals that this is a godsend for real estate – a super-bargain investment if the war is ultimately won.

Of course, if the war is lost, then everything is not to be mentioned. Long Xiangjun, who already has some clansmen from Cheng Xing's two veins, will most likely not let go of the surplus clansmen. The whole clan was punished, so there was no need to think about repaying the loan.

Anyway, it was a loan provided by the Cui family, of course, to buy, buy, buy. Buy the entire Shishou Mountain, spend all the money you can, and convert it into family assets as much as possible!

After the meeting, Cheng Jinyang left the newly built family meeting hall and saw Cui Jinqi boredom fluttering butterflies outside.

The flowers in the flower garden were freshly planted, attracting a few butterflies to fly around, and Cui Xiaoniang playfully stood on tiptoe, looked left and right, and clumsily tried to pounce on these butterflies with both hands.

Miss, don't you know that there is a prop called a bug trap in this world?

"Ah, Jinyang, you're out?" She turned around and exclaimed in surprise as if she had just spotted him.

Well, so she would have found out about me a long time ago. The butterfly fluttering just now was deliberately played for me? Cheng Jinyang thought to himself.

However, Cui Jinqi didn't give him a chance to think, and ran over and wanted to enthusiastically pull him to play games.

is different from Yang Wangshu, who is addicted to online games, Cui Xiaoniang only plays stand-alone plot stream games, and she is not addicted to ...... It's probably similar to ordinary girls chasing dramas, purely to pass the time.

Cheng Jinyang was about to be dragged away by her, so he could only turn his head and say goodbye to his cousin.

"This little girl Gao Yaoqiong is quite lively." Cheng Yuexian looked at the backs of the two and said in a deep voice.

"But that's not Cui ......" As soon as Cheng Huaiyan opened his mouth, he heard Cheng Yuexian correct him, "It's Gao Yaoqiong, Huaiyan." ”

"Well, that's right." Cheng Huaiyan understood.

"Since she introduced herself and said that she was from the Bohai Gao clan, then of course our Shendu Cheng clan believes it." Cheng Yuexian said meaningfully, "Could it be that any guest reports to his home, and we have to check whether what the other party said is true?" ”

"What the Moon Immortal said is reasonable." Cheng Huaiyan expressed his admiration.

In the past, under the leadership of the uncle, the Shendu Cheng family and the Hejian Xing family took the path of the Cui Lu family of the five surnames. Now that Cheng Jinyang can play with the youngest daughter of the Cui family, the Cheng family is of course happy to see it...... Even if you can't marry a woman with the fifth surname, it has nothing to do with her.

was forcibly dragged to the guest room by Cui Jinqi, and Cheng Jinyang played a game with her for a night, until the girl finally began to be sleepy late at night.

Cui Xiaoniang threw off her slippers and climbed into bed, ready to send a message home. Cheng Jinyang left the guest room, and in the corridor outside, he suddenly received a call from Xing Yuanzhi.

"The special operations troops of the Longxiang Army have infiltrated Jiankang City, and the imperial court wants to requisition our Tianluo net to solve these special operations forces." Xing Yuanzhi said.

"What?" Cheng Jinyang was speechless. Tianluo Diwang suffered heavy losses in the attack in Pukou District, what to use to solve the special operations force of the Longxiang Army? Isn't it, is the imperial court planning to unload the mill and kill the donkey, what about your Shenwu Army and Yulin Army?

"It's not just us." Xing Yuanzhi sighed and said, "The Long Xiang Army has launched a strong attack, and at present, almost all the secret guards of the family have been recruited by the imperial court. ”

"Assault?"

"Well, are you indoors now? Just come out and look at the sky. ”

Cheng Jinyang wanted to ask something, but the phone rang again.

This time, Cheng Yuexian and Cheng Huaiyan called at the same time, he picked it up and listened, and sure enough, the two of them said the same thing:

About 1 hour ago, the Long Xiang Army manipulated the Jingwei mothership to launch a continuous assault on Jiankang City, resulting in an uneven distribution of spiritual power shields covering the entire city, and a lot of free holes appeared in some areas.

In the shield base on the Purple Mountain, the battlefield artificial intelligence is also rapidly repairing the holes, but there are still some special operations units of the Longxiang Army who have drilled in before the loopholes are patched.

The Shenwu Army and the Yulin Army stationed in the city were encircling and suppressing these infiltrating enemies everywhere, so that the manpower was quickly stretched thin (after all, the entire Jiankang City area was too large), so they had to requisition the secret guards trained by the Shi clans, as well as the private security companies and militia organizations in the city.

As for Tianluodiwang, although it suffered heavy losses in the attack in Pukou District a few days ago, it will naturally not get a chance to breathe in today's high-pressure situation - it is said that many Wupin families have even been recruited as patriarchs, and the Wupin family has also fully cooperated, which shows the critical situation in front of them.

Cheng Jinyang pondered for a moment, and could only discuss with Cheng Huaiyan on the phone, allowing Jinyiwei to recruit the Cheng clan Tianluo in the clan...... Of course, you can't fully cooperate, otherwise you will be considered by the imperial court that you can squeeze the value of manpower at will.

The proportionate grasp of bargaining, including the allocation of rights and responsibilities and the selection of tasks, can be invited to participate in the third uncle, Cheng Qingping. In the early years, the third uncle was responsible for the Tianluo department's dealings with the imperial court.

As for the logistical support of this part of the clansmen, it is still handed over to my cousin Cheng Yuexian to do.

Although it is to help the imperial court work, but after all, it is not the establishment of the imperial court, and in the case of limited materials, the imperial court will definitely give priority to the supply of Shenwu and Yulin armies, so the food, equipment, medical and other resources of the clansmen are best taken care of by the family, and the imperial court only needs to ensure that the money is enough.

A few phone calls were made, and all the tasks were piled up on his cousins, Cheng Jinyang just left himself the right to make decisions, that is, all the decisions of all the two of them had to be informed to him in the end, and they could only be officially implemented after approval.

Nailed it. Alas, the position of patriarch is too difficult to sit, and the courage on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, but for the sake of the family, he can only barely hold on.

Leaving the guest room, Cheng Jinyang saw a dazzling meteor in the night sky above his head.

No, it should be said that the saturation attack of the Jingwei mothership from the southwest is constantly falling on the spiritual power shield over Jiankang City.

The so-called meteor trajectory is just the trail left by the missile's tail flame or shaped beam.
