Seeing that the guests who came were all ready, Zhang Leqian immediately notified him and started the banquet immediately.

In order to prepare for this banquet, the Zhang family has taken out thousands of catties of spiritual rice, dozens of jars of spiritual wine, and also purchased the Wu family's white-tailed reed fish. Combined, these resources are already worth more than three hundred spirit stones.

Holding such a lavish banquet was not just to cheer up the vassal families, but the main purpose was to negotiate with the other four major families to regain some of the lost interests.

In addition to Xihefang City, the main income of the five major families in Taicheng County every year is the annual trade with Montenegro.

In the entire three southeastern counties, the monks of Taicheng County are the closest to the Montenegrin scattered cultivators. Relying on this geographical advantage, under the organization of the five major families, a large amount of resources will be prepared every year to exchange with the Black Mountain monks.

Montenegro has not been developed for a long time, and there are not many spiritual fields in the mountains, and the local spiritual rice is not self-sufficient.

Every time the spiritual rice is ripe, the five major families of Taicheng County will prepare a large number of people to transport a large amount of spiritual rice to Montenegro.

Along with it, there are a lot of other resources.

In order to protect the safety of these large quantities of materials, each time the five major families would take turns to send the foundation building monks to escort these materials.

Because of the huge amount of materials exchanged, the foundation building monks of the five major families can get a profit of hundreds of spirit stones when they go to Black Mountain once.

In recent decades, because Zhang Leqian was injured, the Zhang family had no foundation building period monks available, so they could only give up the quota to the Wu family, which was the most powerful and had the most foundation building monks.

This time Zhang Zhixuan succeeded in building the foundation, Zhang Leqian just wanted to tell the Wu family that the Zhang family already had a foundation building monk, and hoped that they could have self-knowledge and not easily turn their faces because of this matter.

Wu Xiangjiao, the patriarch of the Wu family, also saw this. Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, for the sake of the rules of Taicheng County and the unity of the five monks, he still sent Wu Xiangheng, a foundation building monk, to participate in Zhang Zhixuan's foundation building celebration, which was a tacit acquiescence to this.

Unlike Wu Xiangheng, Wu Xiangheng is not very old, and he is only in his sixties now, and he is a blood relative of Wu Siheng.

Because the Wu family has been strong and prosperous in the past hundred years, he has been smooth sailing since he cultivated, and he has been relatively domineering and domineering in life.

He was dissatisfied with the patriarch's decision, but in the more than 100 years since the patriarch was in charge, the family has developed more and more prosperously, and it has won the trust of the clansmen.

He didn't dare to oppose it openly, so he deliberately came late to give the Zhang family some faces.

Seeing that everyone had come together, the patriarch Zhang Leqian raised his glass and said, "Since the Chuyun Patriarch sat down, our family has not been smooth.

In the hands of the old man, it is even more decayed.

If God is not tired of my Zhang family, the younger generations of monks will be able to overcome all difficulties and build a successful foundation and continue the luck of our family.

Today's celebration is neither for show-off nor for threat.

Just to celebrate, the first celebration is that our family has finally said goodbye to bad luck, and the time has come to run, which can be regarded as getting out of the trough.

The second is to tell the monks in the family to learn from Zhixuan, devote more energy to cultivation, inject a steady stream of strength into the family, and work hard to prosper and strengthen the family.

On this happy day, I hope that our monks in Taicheng County can enjoy with our Zhang family, and I also hope that our Taicheng County can be safe and stable, without twists and turns. ”

As soon as Zhang Leqian finished speaking, he saw Wu Xiangheng's face change, and he slammed the wine glass on the table and said: "I heard that this nephew of Zhi Xuanxian went to Montenegro a few years ago, and I don't know if I have heard the news of my brother Wu Xiangcheng.

We are all local township parties, so naturally we exchange news, I wonder if Zhi Xuanxian's nephew is willing to exchange some news with me?

If the virtuous nephew has news like Brother Cheng, please don't hide it, be sure to tell it. ”

Before Zhang Zhixuan could speak, the patriarch Zhang Leqian preemptively said, "Who is Wu Xiangcheng?" ”

Wu Xiangheng replied: "It's an elder brother of the family, who went to Montenegro many years ago, and happened to disappear when Zhi Xuanxian's nephew went to Montenegro, so I want to ask Zhi Xuan." ”

Zhang Leqian asked, "Why did this person go to Montenegro?" ”

The reason why the two Wu Xiangcheng brothers left Taicheng County and went to Montenegro was because they were expelled from the family by the head of the Wu family.

As monks stationed in Xihefang, they killed Zhang Zhixuan's father, Zhang Mengzhen, in order to snatch the elixir.

This matter was hyped by the Zhang family, and it once made a lot of uproar, and the Xihefang City controlled by the Wu family was depressed for many years, and a large number of interests were lost for several consecutive years.

These two people were also hated within the Wu family and scolded for many years.

The reason why the patriarch of the Wu family let the two brothers live was mainly to do some dirty work that was inconvenient to come forward.

On the surface, both brothers have been expelled from the Wu family, and they can't get what they say on the surface.

Wu Xiangheng has been smooth sailing in cultivation, although he has lived for more than 60 years, he has not experienced hardships, and he is not mature in life.

He used the excuse to find fault, and was immediately caught by the patriarch Zhang Leqian.

Wu Xiangheng was about to continue talking, but he was immediately pulled down by an old Qi Practitioner Nine Layer behind him, and he was about to be dissatisfied, when he found that the face of this brother who had won the trust of the patriarch changed, and he stared at him fiercely.

Finding that the atmosphere was no longer right, Wu Xiangheng also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and sat down indignantly.

"This virtuous nephew of the Wu family, you are still young, and you don't know what the relationship between our five monks in Taicheng is.

Although there are many internal disputes among the five of us, externally, they have always been one.

Your Wu family is strong today, and you want to do whatever you want, but you have thought about it, your ancestor will also sit down one day, and the monks who were bullied by your family will come to take revenge in the future, what should you do?

Do you want to kill every monk who offends your family?

I'm telling you, your family can't do that!

Let me tell you, every family that has survived for many years has a lot of experience in survival.

In order to be able to pass on the family, they formulated the rules of the five major families of monks in Taicheng County. Your Wu family is going to violate this rule today, so other families can also violate this rule tomorrow.

We know this rule in the Zhang family, and the old patriarch of your family also knows it.

Do you think that having a Purple Mansion Ancestor in your family can be the king and hegemon?

I'm going to tell you, if you can really be the king?

When our Zhang family was still alive at the beginning of the year, why didn't we kill the Wu family, which had become more and more prosperous and had gradually threatened the Zhang family?

If we had done things absolutely back then, you would not have been born from your mother's womb, and even Wu Sixuan would have died in Qingxuanzong for no apparent reason.

It was still very easy for a Purple Mansion Stage Elder to deal with a Foundation Building Late Stage Cultivator.

Do you know what our Chuyun Patriarch did?

Within Qingxuanzong, he never felt sorry for Wu Sixuan, a junior, but often took care of him, and he was far better for this fellow villager than for ordinary monks.

Why did he do that?

Because he knew that even if his cultivation reached the Purple Mansion stage, he would be weak in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it was far from the time to be unscrupulous.

When you can't cultivate to the point of Qingyunzi, you will never be able to do what you want, and you will have to compromise with the cruel reality.

Even if he had already cultivated to the Purple Mansion stage, he would have to face cruel competition, and he would have to unite a part of the cultivators.

Rather, it is the most suitable monk to follow him, in addition to his own relatives and disciples, that is, his fellow villagers.

This truth, Patriarch Chuyun knows, and your ancestor also knows it.

Therefore, over the years, the monks of our five families in Qingxuanzong have always looked to him as the leader.

Even he has to abide by the rules set by his predecessors, if you can't cultivate to the second layer of the foundation, what is it?

If you want to regret it, your Wu family is strong, and our Zhang family thinks that it is far inferior, so you should retreat.

But you also have to pray to God, don't let your Wu family decline one day, otherwise you can break the rules today, then when you decline, other families will naturally do the same.

That's what I said, I hope you pass it on to Wu Xiangjiao without a word, and I think he will understand.

If the Wu family is willing to give up the trading quota to Nanhuang this year, I hope he can write a letter.

If you don't want to, our Zhang family is small and weak, of course, with your Wu family as the leader, the loss of interests will be some.

Our Zhang family has been so difficult all these years, are we still afraid of a more difficult situation. ”

Zhang Leqian's words, Wu Xiangheng was sweating profusely, he didn't even eat a few bites of wine and food, his face turned pale, and he immediately left Tiantai Peak.
