......

When I returned to Zhumen, it was already close to night.

After a busy day, he was also tired, so he went to bed early.

As a result, in the middle of the night, Qin Yang suddenly appeared in his room, startling the alert Zhu Minglang.

"The lord let you pass. Qin Yang was haunted, dressed in a black brocade dress that blended into the night, if it weren't for some luster in her eyes, Zhu Minglang would have thought that her house was haunted.

"What's the matter, can't you say it tomorrow?" Zhu Minglang was still very sleepy.

"About the oath of office. Qin Yang added.

Zhu Minglang immediately bounced up from the bed and splashed his face with water.

......

Zhu Minglang's building is quite far away from Zhu Tianguan's library, and he chose this small building to avoid being disturbed by Zhu Tianguan.

This father, on the outside, is powerful and not angry, but in fact he is just a chatterbox, Zhu Minglang is sometimes very annoying to him.

Walking to the book house, the room is not particularly large, surrounded by peach trees, it is a spacious wooden book house without an attic, and there are many old objects in it, most of which are some long-established casts.

The night is slightly cool, and when you step into the study room, you can see that the other side is completely open, and the face is the sparkling lake.

A few stone lamps standing in the water illuminate these gently swaying waves more beautifully, and looking down the lake, you can even see a few wooden boats sleeping under the moon in the distance......

"Are you hungry?" Zhu Tianguan sat at the long table, which was full of wine and food.

Looking at the way he gobbled up, he should have been busy with something during the day and didn't have time to eat.

"Don't be hungry, you eat slowly. Zhu Minglang shook his head.

"The matter of Lichuan Land, it is basically certain that there are indeed ancient ruins there, no matter how much I coerce and tempt, those old things just don't let go. Zhu Tianguan took a sip of water and wine, and wiped his mouth with a piece of silk next to the roll more casually.

"Then I have to dare to go back to Lichuan as soon as possible and run away with those people I know. Zhu Minglang said helplessly.

Zhu Minglang can't watch the people of Lichuan become slaves.

"Now there are two choices, first, directly tear their faces, whoever fights with us, we will destroy whom. ”

"What about the second...... This is the way they put forward the competition, which is extremely unfavorable to our Zhumen, so Father feels that it is safer to declare war directly on them. ”

The clan gate declares war, this kind of thing will be rare in the Extreme Court Imperial Capital, where the power is stable and the pattern is clear, but in other great powers, it is a common thing.

It is nothing more than the irreconcilable contradictions between the forces and the forces, and they have become hostile to each other, and basically when they see each other's people, they will do it.

At least it will be crippled and destroyed, and at worst, it will be directly killed.

"Let's talk about the second way for the time being, why is it not good for us?" Zhu Minglang said.

Execute the first way directly, it's too violent!

Zhu Tianguan would say such a thing, then he should have the confidence to destroy the competing forces, and even if he can't, he will rely on Zhu Men's current strength to force the other party to retreat.

It's just that I am afraid that there will be many enemies!

Zhumen himself has only become the leader of the clan forces in the past few years, and his foundation has not been very stable.

"The second way, to put it bluntly, is that they deliberately humiliate us. You also know that the real strength of our Zhumen is not in the clan itself, but in those forces that share the glory and loss with us, such as the Yaoshan Sword Sect where your grandfather is here......" Zhu Tianguan stood up, facing the open house wall, staring at the water drop lake shrouded in night.

"I know this, so even if we want to destroy those forces, most of them will have to be done by others. Zhu Minglang said.

"They know that the focus of our clan is not to cultivate gods and dragon herders, so they deliberately integrated the competition into this power competition. Those treacherous and cunning things, they themselves didn't want to wade into troubled waters, so they pushed them on those young people. ”

"Competition, put it in the power competition?" Zhu Minglang said with some surprise.

The competition is a competition between forces.

To put it bluntly, it is to use all the power of the entire force to obtain greater value for its own forces.

Generally, it is decided by those uncles and master-level figures, especially the competition for territory, big fights, and direct swearing of hostility often occur.

In fact, it is the power of those dragon herders, the resources consumed by the dragon are huge, and no matter how rich a city is, it may not be able to support the expenses of a dragon herder team.

Not to mention those forces that raise dragons, they are feeding and collecting young spirits every year, and they have to invest a huge amount of money and manpower in the selection of young spirits.

In the rich territory, the right to sit in the town will definitely be fought for blood, and the forces will often fight with each other!

And the power competition is purely a contest between the young disciples of the major forces, and the competition is the main thing, and the point is to the end.

Because they are not very old, their connections are not extensive, and their strength is very limited, even if there are some contradictions between the two forces in the big competition, it will not affect the overall harmony, and the disciples will eventually find the elders to call the shots, and the elders will also look at the background of both sides and deal with them harmoniously.

Even if there was a situation like Zhu Tong being killed on the battlefield, or if Zhu Tianguan killed Hao Shaocong, it would not cause the enmity between Zhu Men and Zizong Lin to erupt.

"You say, are they deceiving people too much!"

"It seems that I wish Tianguan is still too merciful to these pedantic, stubborn, and old-fashioned guys. ”

"In the past few days, don't go out casually, I will first let the people who break the door destroy a few small forces that are making trouble for us everywhere, and then pinch the supply of weapons for several large armies of the imperial dynasty, and the black armor army raised in Pei Country will also be transferred......"

Zhu Tianguan was extremely angry, as if he went to the court this time, and suffered a great grievance because of the competition.

"Father, calm down first. Zhu Minglang hurriedly persuaded him.

"Calm down, they're all about to ride on top of us. We don't want to cultivate dragon herders and gods and mortals, but they want us to compete with them for the territory of the ancestral dragon city-state in the power competition, what is the difference between this and directly telling us to get out. Son, don't say that this land is related to you, even if it is a new land that is completely unfamiliar and has nothing to do with it, they use this way to exclude us, we Zhumen can't swallow this breath, really when we are still the last of the previous clans????" Zhu Tianguan said indignantly.

"Father, as they wished, the result of the power contest was to compete, and Nan Lingsha and I have already participated and entered the second round. Zhu Minglang said.

"Then how can it be done, compared with the strength of the disciples of those Zonglin who have thousands of years of heritage, we will suffer a big loss. Why don't you let those sects, clans, and palaces compare with us for forging??" Zhu Tianguan said.

"So father, would you rather destroy the other sects than believe that I can stand out in this power competition?" Zhu Minglang said.

"It's not a question of believing, it's a matter of justice or injustice. We are now the newly promoted largest clan, and there will always be some old clans and old Zonglin who don't like us, and if we have to give in on some things once, there will be a second time, a third time...... There's no need to toss and turn with them in that power competition, I want to see what they use to fight with us, the land of the ancestral dragon city-state, we are going to settle the door!" Zhu Tianguan said.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

Indeed, in terms of the whole matter, the major forces of the Extreme Court Continent are bullying Zhumen by competing in this way.

"It's not as good as this. We can agree to this proposal, but we have to invest some resources from the major forces in the big competition. It's a competition of forces, not a big competition among disciples, so why only take those shabby things out and be embarrassed?

I wish Tianguan's eyes lit up.

That's a great idea!

Agree to this approach, but all of you will increase your stakes and increase the size of the race to the level it deserves.

On the Zhumen side, there is basically no need to come up with anything, it is nothing more than to share the ownership of the land of Lichuan, so that the forces are qualified to fight together!

"The Red Bird City of the Purple Sect Forest, the Thunder Iron Mine of the Imperial Family, the True Fire Refining Ding of the Canglong Palace, and the Casting Camp of the Empire under the jurisdiction of the Holy See...... I've wanted these good resources for a long time, and I'm worried that there's no reason for them to transfer them to us. Zhu Tianguan immediately had a smile on his face.

"When they try to make things difficult for us, we peel off their skin. Tomorrow my father will put on an attitude of going to war, and then let those forces who are friendly with us pretend to persuade each other, and propose that we increase the bargaining chips......"

Zhu Minglang picked up the wine glass, handed it to Zhu Tianguan, and continued,

"The forces that are friendly with us make a big bet first, and they must be at least the resource level of a city-state, forcing the other forces to either withdraw from the competition for fear of losing too much, or take off a layer of skin together. When Nan Lingsha and I win this big competition and receive all the benefits, we will return all the resources of the forces we have befriended, and the resources of other forces will be divided between our father and son!" Zhu Minglang picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine for himself and Zhu Tianguan.

Zhu Tianguan listened to this, and the depression just now was swept away, and his face was full of smiles.

He raised the wine that Zhu Minglang had poured for himself, touched his glasses, and said, "Toast five or five cents of spoils!"

In front of the house, Qin Yang in black brocade stood quietly.

She swept her gaze over the faces of the father and son, and saw that their smiles were as tacit as two old foxes......

Which force is going to be unlucky?

In the past, when Zhumen was only the end of the six major clans, Zhu Tianguan and Zhu Minglang rarely suffered losses under those big forces.

Now that the clan is thriving, I believe that those forces who are still making trouble for Zhumen will definitely not end well.
