Chapter 78: The Northland Scramble

Although the Wei family has lost its innate masters, the heritage is still there, and there are still several grandmaster masters, and the overall strength is still at the forefront of the entire Jinghang.

"Hey!"

Seeing this scene, Wei Chuan sighed secretly, who would have thought that what he had offended was a person who was so valued by the king of the county, and even his only daughter was given to him as an apprentice, knowing that he would stop Wei Changhui from what he said that day.

It's a pity that it's too late now, after this incident, his Wei family will inevitably be gradually abandoned by the county king's mansion, even if his Wei family dies and takes a huge amount of compensation, it will also offend others, how can it be recovered?

In the future, his Wei family is destined to live trembling in Jinghang County, which Wei Chuan can already predict.

All the foreign guests entered the Mu family ancestral hall with an invitation letter, and all of them who were allowed to enter were all sinners, and a person like Wei Chuan who was destined to be on the edge, even if he was invited, he could only watch from the outside.

And these families all prepared big gifts.

Soon the time came, Lin Han sat on the Taishi chair at the top of the ancestral hall, and Mu Qinghan and Mu Qingyin accompanied each other on the side.

Even the princess of the county had to stand on the side below, not to mention the other people who were invited, and there were many Mu family branches and even important people in the branches, who were also standing on both sides.

"The auspicious time has come, please pay homage to the county lord. An etiquette officer shouted.

Mu Qinghan first put a few sticks of incense on the ancestors and ancestors above, and then Mu Lingyan moved lightly with the support of the two maids, and slowly entered the ancestral hall.

The two maids stepped back, and Mu Lingyan respectfully stepped forward and bowed down: "Disciple Mu Lingyan to meet the master!"

"Get up, enter the sect in the future, respect the teacher, take the chivalry of the world as your own responsibility, don't humiliate the sect and the phoenix, you know?" Lin Han pretended to admonish a few words.

"It's the master, the disciple remember!"

Mu Lingyan bowed respectfully three times, and then stood respectfully beside Lin Han.

After all the hardships, Mu Lingyan was very happy in his heart, his identity was different.

Even at such a time, when he looked at the master's grim side face, he often looked a little distracted.

At the end of the apprenticeship, Mu Qinghan came over and said, "This king has prepared a banquet in the back house, as a feast for Ling Yan's entry to thank the master, and also invited Doctor Lin to appreciate the light." ”

Lin Han didn't know if there was such a thing as a thank-you banquet, and they said that they couldn't practice the etiquette, so they had to go with him.

After three rounds of drinking, soon only Mu Qinghan was left at the scene, and even Mu Lingyan left under the pretext of leaving for an excuse, but she did not go far, but waited outside for the master.

"Sir, Qinghan doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. Mu Qinghan said.

"Now that we are no longer outsiders, Ling Yan is my disciple, of course the affairs of the Mu family have something to do with me, what should I not talk about?"

Lin Han said, he looked at Mu Qinghan lightly, and said in his heart that he had already known that you had something, so he couldn't hold it back.

Mu Qinghan sent him a huge manor, how could Lin Han not know that Mu Qinghan must have something to ask for?

And he is from Jiangcheng, a third-rate city, after all, he also needs a springboard, and Jiangcheng is still within the jurisdiction of Mu Qinghan, as the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do, and the two sides can be regarded as taking what they need, not talking about who uses whom.

"Don't hide it from Mr., I have an allusion to tell Mr.!"

Mu Qinghan took a detour, and finally told the story of the Northland.

The Northland was a fief given to his ancestors by the Yan Empire.

This place was originally a place of abject poverty, with no grain income, and even sparsely populated, but it was rich in blue gold iron ore.

What is blue gold iron ore, that is, most of it is iron ore, but it can occasionally be mined blue gold.

Iron ore can be used to forge weapons, and the state is not responsible for the cost of the weapons needed by his personal guard, so these weapons come from these iron ores.

Blue gold, on the other hand, is even more valuable, blue gold can be used to refine high-level magic weapons, and the addition of blue gold to ordinary swords is not only more beautiful but also tougher and sharper.

As a result, most of the income of the entire county palace comes from this vein.

But because of this, this vein is popular with many people.

There was an accident in the ancestors of the Mu family, which formed a power vacuum in the north, and as a result, the Marquis of Yanbei took advantage of the situation and took control of the northland.

Later, when the turmoil of the Mu family passed, of course they would not acquiesce to the status quo, and fought with the Yanbei Hou Mansion, and regained control of the north again two years later.

However, the northern land was lost and recovered, and thus buried hidden dangers, because the northern land was next to the territory of the Marquis of Yanbei, and the northern land was the enclave of the county king's mansion.

To put it bluntly, it is not adjacent to the territory of Jinghang County, which is inconvenient to control, and it is very easy for Yanbei Hou to occupy this place.

Therefore, whenever the Mu family's control over the northern land weakened, the Marquis of Yanbei took the opportunity to occupy it, and the two sides launched a decades-long struggle, and the northern land also changed hands several times.

Later, the Marquis of Yanbei took advantage of the relationship of the King of Youqin, while the Mu family gradually declined, and the county prince's mansion gradually lost control of the northern land.

Of course, the Mu family was not to be outdone and reported the matter to the emperor.

Both sides presented evidence to prove that the Northland was their own.

In history, it is not uncommon for feudal officials and hereditary marquis to encroach on each other's fiefdoms, and then there is the right Qin king to make a hindrance, and the emperor Lao'er is also with the mud, and has adopted the strategy of playing 30 boards each, stipulating that the control will be changed every three years.

That is, every three years it is controlled by Yan Beihou, and another three years by the Mu family.

The Mu family naturally couldn't do it, and the Yanbei Hou Luo family didn't do it either, and the two sides sued one after another, pulling the relationship to erect a mountain, and they both wanted to swallow the north for their own use.

In the end, the emperor was unable to quarrel and came up with a solution once and for all, that is, the two sides decided the ownership of the northern land through the strength of the head of the family.

At that time, Yanbei Hou Luotai was already an innate cultivator, while Mu Qinghan was only the peak of the nine-rank martial artist.

This is obviously an unfair decision, but Mu Qinghan has no way at all, because the next generation of the Mu family has only one daughter, and the other families have gradually begun to alienate them, and the Mu family has fallen into isolation in the court.

And the other party has the support of the right king of Qin, so the emperor made such a judgment, and in order to show fairness, the emperor also deliberately crowned Mu Lingyan, who has the ability to command the army, as the county lord.

The county lord is just a name, and there is no fiefdom, which is a typical and thin mud, and the bias is obvious.

Even if Mu Qinghan is unwilling, what can he do?

In order to keep the ancestral fiefdom, on the day of the decisive battle, Mu Qinghan took the Yuan Explosion Pill and forcibly promoted his cultivation to the innate level.

Under Mu Qinghan's life, both sides were injured, and in the end, no one could help anyone, but the biggest loss was undoubtedly Mu Qinghan, who has been in a state of collapse since then, and his condition is getting worse and worse, if it weren't for Lin Han, he almost didn't die in bed.

It's just that Mu Qinghan also saved face because of this, and the suspense of the belonging of the northern land continued.

Even if the northern land is now under the control of Yan Beihou, it is a bit unjustifiable, because Luo Tai did not win in the end.
