"Okay, listen."

Zuo Yang smiled slightly, and said the plan he had already thought of, "Compared with other sects in the rivers and lakes, the most noteworthy thing for the Eastern Family is the art of casting, the weapons you cast have made countless sects yearn for in the rivers and lakes, this can be used as your biggest hole card, why don't you make good use of it?" ”

"What do you mean......"

Dongfang Cheng asked puzzledly, and the rest of the Dongfang family also looked at Zuo Yang with puzzled expressions.

They didn't know that this was their biggest hole card, but the weapon was always just a cold weapon, and it would not automatically fly out and wipe the enemy's neck, and the Dongfang family only had so many people, and most of them were sparse and ordinary in martial arts, even if everyone was equipped with the best weapons, they still couldn't compete with the imperial army...... Otherwise, what are they worried about here?

"Send it out, and give some weapons to all the factions on the rivers and lakes!"

Zuo Yang said with a smile.

"What!?"

As soon as he heard this, Dongfang Cheng immediately frowned and looked at Zuo Yang with a puzzled expression.

At the same time, the rest of the Oriental Family also widened their eyes, looking at Zuo Yang with a suspicious and defensive gaze:

"Why did you give away our weapons?"

"Does he want us to beg the various sects in the rivers and lakes to help us in this matter? This won't work at all, okay, the rivers and lakes are a plate of scattered sand, and all sects and factions have their own selfish intentions, even if they receive our weapons, they may not be able to help at critical moments! ”

"Yes, even if Lin Tiannan, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, has such an identity, there is no way to unite all the sects and factions in the rivers and lakes, everyone is just giving him some face on the surface."

"This will enhance the strength of the various sects and factions in the rivers and lakes, but on the contrary, it will further weaken the strength of our Oriental Family......"

“……”

It is no wonder that they think so, in fact, from the afternoon discussion until now, it is not that no one has thought about it, but it is just a thought, and when the idea comes out, it is immediately rejected by themselves, so that no one has said it until now.

Even Dongfang Ling Shao, who brought Zuo Yang in, was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zuo Yang to put up so much, but in the end he came up with such a "bad idea" with no technical content.

But.

In the midst of the tumultuous discussions.

"Quiet!"

Dongfang Cheng quickly stopped the others, and then smiled apologetically at Zuo Yang, and arched his hand and said, "Xiaoyou, forgive me for being rude, I believe that since Xiaoyou dares to come, he must have a more proper plan, but he hasn't said it yet, am I right?" ”

This guy is definitely not a simple person, let alone an indecisive person, otherwise how could he have decided that he was definitely not a thing in the pool at the beginning of Zhu Di's army, and stood up for support at the first time, and used this way to exchange decades of stable life for the Oriental family?

"Huh."

Zuo Yang grinned and showed a gratifying smile of "You have vision", and continued, "I asked you to give some weapons to various sects, naturally it can't be for nothing, but to have an equivalent exchange, and in exchange, each sect needs to allow some people from the Eastern Family to go to learn art!" ”

"Apprenticeship!?"

Dongfang Cheng was stunned again, and his face was even more puzzled.

The doorman of the Oriental family also had a strange face, compared to the previous remarks, now this statement made them even more confused.

After all, as a martial arts family with a long history, the Oriental Family already has its own characteristic martial arts, but it has been dedicated to studying the art of casting for many years, and it has gradually been abandoned, so if they really want to practice martial arts, they don't need to give away their weapons at all, it is better to pick up the Oriental Family's own martial arts first.

And the problem now is that the cultivation of martial arts is by no means an overnight thing, whether it is the martial arts of the Oriental family itself, or the martial arts of various sects and factions in the rivers and lakes, there is no way to achieve it quickly, and it is impossible to quickly improve the comprehensive strength of the Oriental family, so as to solve the current dilemma encountered by the Oriental family, which should be called "far water cannot quench the thirst of the near water".

Therefore, Zuo Yang's proposal sounds very unreliable at first glance......

“……”

Seeing the expressions of these guys, Zuo Yang knew that these guys didn't understand what he meant at all, so he just opened his mouth to get acquainted with them again.

It was at this time.

"Squeak!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the council hall.

“！？”

Everyone subconsciously looked back.

Because they knew that after Dongfang Ling Shao came back, the core disciples of the Dongfang family were already inside, so if anyone came in now, eighty percent would be outsiders like Zuo Yang who trespassed into the council hall.

What day is today, is the iron law of the Oriental family going to be completely destroyed today!?

But, guess what they saw.

Appearing outside the door was an extremely familiar figure carrying a birdcage, this person was none other than Dongfang Ren, the owner of the second village who had not entered the council hall for many years!

"The second owner ......"

Many people have already recognized him, and then there was an unexpected expression on his face as if he had seen a victory, it was indeed very unexpected, could it be that the sun came out in the west today!?

"Second Brother ......"

Dongfang City was also surprised, but there were many surprises in the accident.

For so many years, he has been hoping to repair the relationship with Dongfang Ren and combine the two of them to make the Dongfang family strong again, but Dongfang Ren has always just avoided him, just walking birds and wandering around all day long, without making any response.

And today, although I don't know what the reason is, since Dongfang Ren has stepped into the council hall, it means that he has changed his mind and decided to sit for the Dongfang family.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Dongfang Ren didn't pay attention to these people from the Dongfang family, but he looked at Zuo Yang with great appreciation, raised his hands and slowly applauded, while applauding, he also crossed the threshold of the council hall and walked to Zuo Yang step by step, the unhealthy face showed a kind smile, and praised him, "Wonderful!" Wonderful! Wonderful! When he was outside before, the old man almost looked away, and he couldn't imagine that the young man was so young, and he already had such great wisdom, and the old man admired it. ”

Hearing the words of the second owner, everyone in the Oriental family was puzzled again:

"What great wisdom? What is the owner of the second village talking about? ”

"I've grown so big, and I've never seen the second owner praise a person like this, and even Yu Shao has never had such treatment......"

"Yes, the second owner of the village seems to only talk to Ling Shao and Second Miss Zhi'er on weekdays, but he has never praised them so much, how can he do this to this person who comes to the Dongfang family for the first time?"

"Moreover, this person's martial arts are really good, but I really haven't seen the great wisdom or anything......"

“……”

Sincerely, they still don't quite understand what Zuo Yang said, let alone how to solve the plight of the Dongfang family, how can they talk about great wisdom?

"The second owner of the village praised it."

Zuo Yang returned the courtesy modestly, but he was muttering in his heart, could it be that this sick guy already understood what he meant?

If that's the case, this guy is just afraid that he is another NPC with a very high IQ and EQ, and it is not easy for such an NPC to fool at all, and it is even comparable to some players who are good at intrigue, and it is absolutely impossible to be negligent......

"No, no, no, what the young man said, the old man heard it clearly outside, if the old man didn't guess wrong, the young man should want to help the Dongfang family build momentum with the help of this method, right?"

Dongfang Ren looked at Zuo Yang's eyes and said with a smile, "Once some of the people of the Dongfang family have entered the various sects to learn the arts, it is equivalent to putting their eggs into many baskets, not only that, but these sects will also be protected by the various sects, so that Zhu Di will not be able to wipe out the disciples of the Dongfang family no matter what, on the contrary, he is worried that he will go too far, and then cause more trouble, so he will not dare to do things too much." ”

"This is equivalent to expanding the strength of the Oriental Family to the entire rivers and lakes in disguise overnight."

"In addition, because the Oriental Family has been involved too much with the imperial court before, it has been despised by all the sects and factions in the rivers and lakes, and they regard us as the lackeys of the imperial court, so the Oriental Family is excluded from the rivers and lakes in everything, and now we can also take this opportunity to change the views of the various sects on the Oriental Family...... At present, Zhu Di is no longer reliable, if he is hostile to all factions in the rivers and lakes again, the Dongfang family is afraid that it will be annihilated faster, but it is better to reintegrate into the rivers and lakes. ”

"What's more, the martial arts of the Oriental family have been abandoned for too long, and most of the disciples in the sect have been contaminated with some bad habits of not wanting to make progress and greedy for pleasure, and let them enter the various sects to learn art, although they cannot quickly improve the true strength of the Oriental family in a short period of time, but under the control of the door rules of the various sects, it must have some effect on curbing this bad trend, and over time, when these disciples return from learning, they will integrate the world's martial arts into one family, which is the day when the Oriental family will rise again!"

"Only when the Oriental family is really strong can it never suffer from future troubles, far more stable than being under the protection of the imperial court or other people, in exchange for a short period of survival!"

"Am I right?"

After speaking, while Dongfang Ren smiled at Zuo Yang, he didn't forget to glance sideways at Dongfang Cheng, the owner of the big village standing not far away, in fact, his last sentence was for Dongfang City.

At the beginning, when Dongfang Cheng supported Zhu Di's accession to the throne, Dongfang Ren tried his best to dissuade him from doing so, but Dongfang Cheng was eager for quick success and quick profit, and thought that supporting Zhu Di was the only chance for the rise of the Dongfang family, so he couldn't listen to anything at all, Dongfang Ren really couldn't persuade him, so he had to choose to reserve his opinion in his own way.

And Dongfang Ren had already expected that the Dongfang family would have today.

After all, a person who deceived the whole world in the name of "Qing Jun's side" and held high the banner of loyalty and goodness, but in the end he snatched the throne from his nephew in a dragon robe, and even tampered with history to deceive future generations to set up a memorial arch for himself.

In addition, he has lived in Yanjing City for a long time, even if Dongfang Ren walks birds all day long, the news is much better than that of ordinary people.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he successively established a series of institutions and organizations such as Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang, relied on the funds of the imperial court to control the Datong money houses across the country, and hired a group of powerful spies to collect martial arts secrets for him. At the same time, this person brought the thick black science in the officialdom to the rivers and lakes: he successively spread the rumor that Tangjiabao had a top-secret treasure map and the secret book of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" in Jiugong Mountain, and then provoked the battle between the twelve serial docks and the beggars. After cracking down on neutral and evil forces, he created the illusion that Shaolin intended to join forces with Wulin and Wudang Emei to compete with them, in an attempt to completely disintegrate the upright alliance. Fortunately, with the existence of Lin Tiannan, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, this conspiracy that may set off a huge wave in the rivers and lakes has been revealed......

All these are enough to show the great ambition of Zhu Di, but the Oriental family is under the protection of the imperial court and does not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, so that the strength is getting weaker and weaker.

"Second brother, I ......"

Dongfang City had already begun to worry about the fate of the family before this incident happened, and even began to regret the original decision a long time ago, but he didn't know how to turn back.

Hearing Dongfang Ren say this time, the remorse in Dongfang Cheng's heart immediately surged out again, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Big brother...... We are all old, so we don't want to mention the past anymore, if it weren't for the arrival of this young man, we would have already talked about it...... I'm afraid I didn't think of this joint, and even if I did, I would have to continue to be angry with you. ”

Dongfang Ren said with emotion, in fact, after so many years, the anger in his heart has long disappeared, especially at his age, many things have gradually become downplayed, but he has never been able to pull down his face......

"Second Brother ......"

Dongfang Cheng's eyes were shining, and his gray beard trembled slightly.

"Big Brother ......"

Dongfang Ren is the same, in the final analysis, the two are still brothers whose blood is thicker than water, how can they really break off the relationship.

"Second Brother ......"

"Big Brother ......"

"Second Brother ......"

"Big Brother ......"

"Ahem, I said two, you are also well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, if you really want to shed tears like this, I'm afraid it's not very good-looking, right?"

Zuo Yang interjected with empty eyes on the side.

He saw that these two old men, whose combined age was at least three digits or more, were really about to hug each other and cry, so he was embarrassed and had goosebumps all over his body, and he really couldn't stand it.
