At the same time as Grandpa Wugou spoke, a familiar voice sounded in Shaolan's mind.

"Trigger Deeds: The Power of the Bloodline (Gray)."

Explanation: You need to solve the puzzle you are about to face and prove to the Five Dogs that you are extraordinary in your bloodline.

Deeds Effect: In the future, the five dogs will obey your words.

The effect of this deed is really unsatisfactory.

I only heard the five dogs continue, "...... As a result, the head of the family failed in his mission, and is currently imprisoned by Baron Momiji, awaiting Baron Momiji's trial. ”

"This matter may involve the little boy, so the little master of Muwen (that is, the previous youth, Mu Yi's younger brother, Shaolan's uncle) asked the old slave to take the little boy out to avoid trouble first."

It actually involved the princes, Shaolan's heart sank, this person rules society, but he kills people when he says kill.

In my previous life, as a member of the forum senior diving and a hardcore reader, I was not afraid to speculate on the worst situation.

Shaolan was a little panicked, maybe she should run away, "Where to take me to avoid trouble?" ”

"Go to the village where the old slave used to live, and temporarily live in seclusion as a savage."

Shaolan immediately gave up the heart to escape.

In a cannibalistic society, if you don't temporarily occupy a high position, you will only be slaughtered by others, and the day will be precarious.

Think about yourself as a child of a city lord, the living conditions are bad enough, go to live the life of a savage?

Don't!

However, his father in this life was imprisoned by the princes, do he still have to find a way to save people from the princes?

Scratching his head and looking at his eight-year-old body, Shaolan was a little desperate.

"What do you know about Baron Momiji?"

"You mean, my lord, I heard that he was a very wise man, and perhaps you could persuade him to spare the head of the family for the sake of his noble blood."

Shaolan had an expression that you were teasing me.

But when you think about it, it's as ridiculous as a beggar discussing how big the emperor's delicacies are, how thin the skin and how big the filling is.

"How much do you know about Baron Momiji?"

“……”

"How could I see such a noble big man."

Shaolan sighed, and after thinking about it, it was actually normal, not to mention the ancients, even if they were modern people, how many people knew what the name of the senior official of the county party committee or city they were in was called.

No matter who the leader is, whether it is good or bad, as ordinary people, they can only passively accept it, so most people will not pay attention.

"When did the current Baron Momiji succeed to the throne, do you know?"

Five Dogs shook their heads.

"Do you know which city Baron Momiji lives in?"

Wugou continued to shake his head.

Shaolan was a little desperate.

How can this save Mu Yi, do you dream to save it?

This simple gray deed is so difficult to do, what can I do in the future?

Shaolan suddenly became clever.

Wait, it's just a gray story.

The deeds require that they get through the difficult time, not save their father in this life.

I took it for granted.

If you just want to get through the storm, it should be easier to protect yourself.

After thinking for a while, Shaolan patted her head, a simple ghost.

How can I protect myself?

Wait for Baron Momiji to send someone to raid the house and exterminate the clan to rebel?

The point is that I don't have any soldiers.

Wait, I don't have soldiers, but my father Mu Yi, as the lord of Muyi, should have an army.

As long as you have soldiers in your hands, you will not panic.

"Grandpa Wugou, take me to the barracks."

"Barracks? Where did the barracks come from without fighting? ”

！？？？

Didn't the ancient wealthy families have private soldiers?

After asking carefully, Shaolan reluctantly found that there was no standing army here, and military service was only issued when there was a war, so that the villagers could participate in the war.

Shaolan suddenly remembered that the first professional army in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was Wei Wushu. Before that, the war was all militia.

The total number of soldiers invested on both sides in the battle of Qin, Zhao and Changping reached nearly one million, and most of them were also peasant soldiers.

Therefore, Shaolan took over his father's army, and his dream of being surprised was shattered.

"Little boy, I think only the patriarch can save your life."

Patriarch?

Isn't his father Mu Yi the biggest here? How did another patriarch pop up.

After Grandpa Wugou's explanation, Shaolan realized that a city is often a gathering point for a family, and there are three of the highest positions.

One is the patriarch, whose main responsibilities are to mediate conflicts and disputes within the clan, enforce the family law, formulate the family law, manage the clan property, and distribute the public wealth of the clan.

One is the lord of the city, and the main production is to govern the city, what to plant every year, foreign trade, development, construction and other internal affairs are his responsibility.

There is also a noble title, Mu Yi's doctor is the title of nobleman, and this person is responsible for the main family, that is, the princes of a higher class.

It is necessary to perform foreign diplomacy, war, or serve the princes, hold official positions, etc.

The current patriarch is the younger brother of Grandpa Mu Lan, who is the third in line, and is honest and fair.

At present, the third grandfather who has the most important voice in Muyi is the patriarch.

Maybe only the third grandfather can really help him.

Shaolan asked Grandpa Wugou to take her to the third grandfather's house at the moment.

The third grandfather's home is located in the northeast corner of Muyi, the location is relatively partial, but the area of the house is not small, more than 200 square meters.

The yard is also fifty or sixty square meters, different from the barrenness of Shaolan's house, this yard grows some vegetables and raises a few chickens and ducks.

The layout of the house is somewhat like a courtyard house, but it is not so regular.

Walking into the main house, before Shaolan could speak, he heard a noisy voice.

"Don't say it, the father pays the debt, Mu Yi did something wrong, his son must bear it, I think he will be sent to the baron tomorrow."

"It's not good, it's just an eight or nine-year-old kid after all."

"I don't want to send it either, but whoever made Mu Yi do something wrong and didn't send his son, all of us, including our son, might be affected."

There was silence inside.

"Mu Wen's kid has inquired about the change of guard, I think he wants to secretly let Mu Yi's son escape."

"How can you just leave, what if the Baron is angry with our whole clan?"

The hall was a mess again.

"Brother Shaolan, why are you standing outside and playing with me!"

A crisp, immature, and loud voice sounded behind Shaolan.

Shaolan was startled, and the room was silent, and a middle-aged man appeared and looked at Shaolan with some embarrassment.

These people of the same clan were actually discussing the matter of betraying themselves, and they were broken by themselves, not only were they embarrassed, but Shaolan was also embarrassed.

Just when Shaolan was thinking about whether to turn around and leave this place of right and wrong, a child of the same age behind him pulled Shaolan and rushed into the house.

He is the grandson of the patriarch, named Mushou, and carries the wishes of his father to be the chief.

Looking at the dozen or so adults in the room, Shaolan glanced at Mu Shou helplessly, and forced himself to calm down.

At this moment, a young man with a scar on his forehead and a ruthless look walked up to Shaolan.

suddenly smiled toothily, but there was no smile in his eyes, there was no kindness, but he looked hideous, "For the sake of the family, for the sake of all the clansmen, are you willing to give all your efforts?" ”

Everyone was silent, all looking at Shaolan, waiting for his answer.
