Just like the Qianjin Pavilion in Guiyang, the former capital of Qin, there is also one of the largest restaurants in Danyang City.

It is the tallest building in Danyang City, Zuiyun Tower.

Zuiyun Building is not as high as the Thousand Golden Pavilion, but the construction area is huge, and several main buildings are connected together by the air corridor bridge, and the main building is stacked with heavy buildings, and the many rooms are like a labyrinth.

Legend has it that drunk people walk in this building as if they are in the heavenly palace, if no one sends each other to find the way out, so the building is named Drunken Cloud Building.

And because of such a complex structure, Zuiyun Building can allow the enemy family to be in the same building without seeing each other, and the doors and houses are not related to each other and are very quiet. Therefore, regardless of their status and country, cultivators with heads and faces in the six countries who came to Southern Chu preferred to live here.

Even if a cultivator lives in several countries at the same time, living in it for a long time can make it impossible for them to disturb the conflict, which has to be said to be the ability of Zuiyun Tower.

And Zuiyunlou has another ability.

Because of the large number of rooms and complex design, the most in the Zuiyun Building except for the private rooms is the secret pavilion. The families of Southern Chu often talk about anything here.

Each chamber needs to follow a special route to reach it, whether it is soundproofed or secrecy, which is more convenient than the Maison's mansion.

The outer building of the Drunken Cloud Building is an ordinary restaurant, and when you walk out of the secret pavilion, you can enter the noisy ordinary happy field, and you can hide what you have just seen and what you have just done to the greatest extent. Nothing is more appropriate for conspiracy than here.

But if the same thing happens many times at the same time, it will inevitably be seen.

It's not a conspiracy at all.

At this time, in the Tianzi No. 1 Secret Pavilion of Zuiyun Building, Chen Zichu was sitting by the window, quietly watching the representatives of the Southern Chu family who were arguing in the cabinet.

"We must not let that former Qin princess win again!"

"The top of the list can't be a Nanchu person!"

"But the Second Highness is ...... there"

"His Royal Highness is just joking with that woman, he is still too busy to compete for the throne by himself, how can he be in the mood to protect a foreign woman!"

A group of elderly Southern Chu people got together and argued.

"But who the hell is sent to defeat that woman? You must know that Helan Cheng lost to her. ”

"To be honest, we don't necessarily have to last long against that woman, what we have to think about is how to make our Nanchu cultivators get the top spot......

"Looking at it this way, the biggest opponent is still the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"

"To put it bluntly, there are constraints everywhere now, and it's not because our stepson is too weak this time!"

Speaking of this, the voices of the old people in the house paused, and Chen Zichu felt that his eyes were all on him.

He looked up at the group of well-dressed old and middle-aged people sitting at the table in the room. Most of these people are the younger brothers or cousins of the head of the Nanchu family, and there are also the heads of the family surnamed B, all of whom have status in the Nanchu family.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Zichu only felt irony in his heart. Because this scene is exactly the same as the scene when the family decided to nominate him as a stepson to the royal family.

"The younger generation is ashamed," Chen Zichu lowered his head and leaned over his ear and said, "It's not as good as Chunhuajun's half-star back then, and he is really worthy of the position of stepson." ”

"This ......" Seeing his posture, the other old men were a little uncomfortable. At this time, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion opened his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, Zichu also tried his best, there is only one Ji Jiashu in this world, and not everyone is Chunhuajun." ”

Chen Zichu raised his head. The black-faced middle-aged man who said this was his second uncle, Chen Yinhu.

"Second uncle, you don't have to speak for the little nephew," Chen Zichu said respectfully, "The little nephew knows that he is sparse and shallow, and his ability is limited, and he can't take on the position of stepson, so he has always wanted to make the virtuous ......."

"Hey, that's all it takes for Zi Chu to say that," the oldest old man in the crowd spoke slowly.

"At the beginning, we families chose stepsons to look at character, and the beginner ceremony has been carried out until now, so don't make a fuss about this matter anymore."

It's about character......

Chen Zichu sneered in his heart when he heard this. The old man who spoke was the younger brother of the head of the Du family, Du Chengfu, a family surnamed A in Nanchu who was second only to the Ye family.

The reason why he was chosen as Nanchu's stepson was purely because the Ye family and the Du family grabbed their stepson, and in the end, they quarreled so much that no one was convinced, so he was pushed out of the top cylinder.

Chen Zichu looked at the children of the family who were surrounding the old man surnamed Du in the secret pavilion, and his eyes were cold.

The Chen family, the Ye family, the Du family.

These are the three most powerful families with the surname A in Southern Chu.

The family was born before the royal family, and although they have been inherited for different times, regardless of the family history, there are always advantages and disadvantages.

And on the Shanhai Continent, if you want to judge whether the first family is powerful, which family is the most powerful family in a country, it is actually very simple.

It is only because after the division of the Qin Empire, most of the six countries in the Great Wall on the Shanhai Continent currently implement the system of three princes and nine kings.

This system has a long history, and the previous Xia Dynasty has established the system of three princes and nine secretaries. "The Book of Rites" has a cloud: "There are 100 officials in the Xia Hou clan, and the Son of Heaven has three dukes, nine qing, twenty-seven doctors, and eighty-one yuanshi." ”

Regardless of the doctor and the Yuanshi, there are people in the family who serve as the three princes and nine secretaries, and they are the families that are gaining power in a country.

In the system of three princes and nine secretaries, the highest official position is naturally the three dukes.

The three dukes are Da Sima, Da Situ, and Da Sikong.

Among them, the Great Sima is in charge of military duties, the Great Situ is in charge of financial endowments, and the Great Situ is in charge of hundreds of officials.

These three positions are in the court, except for the national teacher, and they are really above 10,000 people under one person. Therefore, the families in which there are people in the family who hold these three official positions are the three most powerful families in a country.

At this time in Southern Chu, the position of the third prince was firmly controlled by the Chen family, the Ye family and the Du family.

Chen Zichu looked at his palm. His father is the Great Sima of Southern Chu, Ye Siyuan's father is the head of the Ye family of Southern Chu, and Du Chengfu's brother, Du Chengde, the head of the Du family who is now in his sixties, is the Great Situ of Southern Chu.

Of course, Du Chengde also has a son.

It's just that Du Chengde is an old man, and his son-in-law is three years younger than Ji Jiashu, and he didn't do anything with their group of sons when they were young, and he is not as flamboyant as Ye Siyuan, Chen Zichu doesn't know much about him, but he only heard that his personality is a little special.

But no matter whether this sister-in-law of the Du family is special or not, whether I want to be this stepson or not, the Du family and the Ye family will break their heads and bleed to snatch this stepson.

It's just that among the three major families of Southern Chu, the Du family and the Ye family are particularly incompatible.

Chen Zichu looked helpless.

His father was in charge of the military, and the military generals who were in charge of the military power had been a thorn in the king's side since ancient times.

But the Ye family and the Du family have no worries about this, and have been actively expanding their power. The most famous of these forces naturally expanded into the king's harem.

The daughter of the Ye family is the queen of the King of Southern Chu.

The concubine of the Du family is the concubine of the king of Southern Chu.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two families is no longer self-explanatory.

The daughter of the Ye family and the daughter of the Du family are fighting in the harem, and the son of the Ye family and the son of the Du family ...... Naturally, you can't be idle outside.

But the fight between the children of these families, because of the existence of a young man, has never been able to survive.

That young man is the son of Ji Mo, the teacher of Southern Chu, Ji Jiashu.

Because Ji Jiashu is so good, whether it is the Ye family or the Du family, or the rest of their families, it is not interesting to fight.

It's just that no one can rob him no matter what.

This year's stepson, to put it bluntly, is also what Ji Jiashu is left over. The Du family and the Ye family fought several times without result, and finally reached a consensus, that is, no one should want it, and in the end, it fell to the Chen family, who they did not fight or rob.

Chen Zichu let out a long sigh in his heart.

The Du family and the Ye family no longer held on to the position of their stepson, after all, it was more important than their stepson to be able to get the leader of the junior canon.

Everyone thought that there would be no more accidents in this primary-level ceremony without the participation of Ji Jiashu and the other six sons of the Warring States.

But no one expected that a girl would be killed halfway.

Because of Jiang Yuanyuan's intervention and guarantee, the families were still just waiting and seeing at first, but no one thought that with the progress of the junior ceremony, things would become out of control.

Four top spots, shocking the world.

"In any case, I can't let that woman go on any longer."

In the crowd of conspirators in the distance, Chen Zichu heard his second uncle slap it on the table and said in a deep voice.

"Words ......"

And at this moment, Du Chengfu, who was the leader, suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"Master Guoshi, did you say when you will be out of the customs?"

Stealing incense
