Xingjiang Road.

Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, and this sentence is also valid for the Lu family. The Lu family is a big family in the north and has always been said to be the most wealthy family in the north. Lu Jingjiang rose again in the south, one south and one north, reflecting each other, symbolizing the true growth of the Lu family, from the provincial to the national. However, just when the Lu family was advancing vigorously, they were stopped by Ye Rongxiu and directly beheaded.

Ye Rongxiu is not moving, and if he moves, he is thunderous. The Lu family's power in the north was almost uprooted, and the trees were scattered, leaving some unwilling side branches to survive. Ye Rongxiu also knew that it was impossible for a big clan that had been entrenched in the place for nearly a hundred years to be wiped out in one go, so he let the Lu family's people and horses go south to survive, but in fact, they secretly encircled the three missing one method. A small number of the children of the Lu family who were broken up wandered all over the world, and most of them defected to Lu Jingjiang.

There are more than a dozen provinces in other provinces, but there are only five in Xiangshui Province, and Lu Jingjiang, who is the master of the Dao, has extremely heavy authority, and after the fall of the Lu family, he has faintly become the head of the Lu family. Like a lighthouse in the dark night, it continuously absorbs the arrival of the scattered children of the Lu family.

As a local wealthy family, many of the children of the Lu family are elites, and their arrival has greatly enriched Lu Jingjiang's strength and made his prestige prosperous step by step. But under this glory, there are hidden dangers.

Lu Jingjiang is a concubine, and he is a concubine of the side branch.

The Lu family used Black Moon Province as their base camp, and the most outstanding disciples stayed in the base camp to operate. The base camp has the best resources and connections to continuously propel him to high positions. When ordinary people enter the officialdom, they all start from the lowest village officials. The children of the Lu family are officials, and the lowest level is from the first level of the town, starting from the deputy mayor and the secretary of the county magistrate. Civil servants with no identity background start from the bottom, and without any mistakes, their ability is calculated according to the upper middle level, and it basically takes 30 years to reach the position of mayor. If you want to go further to the Dao Master, it is not time that can be piled up, you need luck, and you also need connections.

The children of the Lu family have reached the position of mayor for an average of 15 years, and the highest record is 11 years, which is a descendant of the main line of the Lu family, and they are already Taoist masters in the 14th year. On the ruling side, he became the youngest Dao Master in Black Moon Province, a record that no one has broken so far.

Lu Jingjiang has performed extremely well since he was a child, but because he is not the main line, he does not enjoy many resources, especially after competing for the position of deputy director of the Finance Bureau was kicked out by a mediocre son of the main lineage by virtue of his relationship, he left Xiangshui Province in a fit of anger and cut off contact with his family.

After that, he seemed to be open, and with his own strength, he was stunned from scratch, from low to high, and walked to the position of deputy mayor, which took 10 years. This is still without using any of the Lu family's resources, in such a comparison, Lu Jingjiang is even better than the most outstanding children of the Lu family.

The upper echelons of the Lu family finally noticed Lu Jingjiang's excellence, and the Lu family encountered a bottleneck period in Black Moon Province, and it was urgent to expand outward, and Lu Jingjiang's appearance just provided them with the best choice. After repairing the relationship, a large amount of resources were tilted towards Lu Jingjiang. It took 2 years for the deputy mayor to become the mayor, and then it took another 3 years to complete a step that many people can't complete in a lifetime.

Before the end of the day, Lu Jingjiang was appointed vice governor of Xiangshui Province and Xingjiang at the age of 48

Daoist Lord, became one of the most powerful people in Xiangshui Province.

Lu Jingjiang spread out in Xiangshui Province and became the mainstay, but the head of the Lu family was uprooted. One high and one low, the situation has already reversed. The main vein defected to Lu Jingjiang, carrying a lot of resources, but also bringing an indecisive problem to Lu Jingjiang, who is the master.

The ass determines the head, and the right determines the status. According to the reason, in the territory of Xingjiang Road, it is natural to listen to Lu Jingjiang, but in fact, this principle will not work in big families and wealthy families.

The reason why a big family is a big family is because there is another set of rules within the family to make the family power stronger. With the main vein as the core, the generations are divided into the norm, and the power is from high to low, from the inside to the outside, so as to ensure the prosperity of a family and continue from generation to generation.

Lu Jingjiang has a low seniority, belongs to a side branch, and is still a concubine, which makes him have no right to speak within the Lu family even if he has great power.

The Lu family's mansion, which covers an area of more than 20 acres, looks very unusual in a high-rise building. The tallest building of the mansion is only three floors, and it adopts the style of ancient garden architecture, with a beautiful environment and fresh air. If it weren't for Lu Jingjiang's power, it would have been impossible to grant such a large piece of land in the power center area of Xingjiang Province.

And these, in the eyes of the high-level of the Lu family, are taken for granted.

Walk through two courtyards, and then through a long corridor, to the core of the Lu family, the council hall. When Lu Jingjiang walked into the door, he found that the number of people was almost complete, all of them were the high-level of the Lu family, the main line, and some outstanding side branches.

There are 3 grandparents, 11 grandparents, and more than 20 uncles. Lu Jingjiang didn't dare to slack off, one by one stepped forward to salute and greet him, there were not many people of the same generation who could enter the conference hall, except for some who were too far away or who couldn't get out of important positions, there were only 16 people, and 5 people in the next generation, he didn't need to greet them one by one, nodded and then walked to his seat and sat down.

"Everyone is here, and the meeting can begin." Presiding over the meeting was Lu Jingjiang's grandfather, who ranked first, Lu Jingjiang himself couldn't remember it clearly, but he knew that his name was Lu Qingping, he was in politics when he was young, made mistakes, and borrowed the power of his family to get out. went to the sea to do business, and lost a lot of money, so life can be regarded as a failure. But he couldn't stand up to him, one of the most beloved grandsons of the head of the family at that time, turned a blind eye to his failures, recalled the family, and managed the family business. Since then, it has been mediocre until now, nothing is wrong, but it has not contributed much.

Because Lu Jingjiang came too late, so many people were waiting for him alone, and Lu Qingping's tone carried a trace of imperceptible displeasure.

"Calling everyone over today is a big event, and this matter is related to the success or failure of our Lu family, so we have to be cautious." It was Lu Jingjiang's second grandfather, Lu Yihong, who stood up and spoke.

The grandfather lost his life because of an accident, and the meteorite explosion on the way to the earth in a spaceship, and now the grandfather is respected by Lu Yihong.

Everyone's hearts were tight, and every child of the Lu family was very sensitive to the six words 'related to the success or failure of the family', because the last time these six words were said, it was when Ye Rongxiu made a move on them.

Nuoda's Lu family fell apart, and if it weren't for its deep heritage, it would almost be wiped out, especially with a deep memory.

Lu Yihong took out a piece of paper and put it on the coffee table, his voice without any emotion: "This is sent by the Demon King of the Black Moon Province to let the Lu family surrender to him, otherwise, let the Lu family be wiped out!" ”

"Arrogant!"

"Bold!"

"He dares!"

……

As soon as these words came out, there was an angry roar in the council hall, even if the Lu family's momentum was not as good as before, but the background was still there, and the majesty and arrogance of the big clan were still there, how could it make people so degraded. Behind the anger, however, is inner unease. After going south, because the memory of the Black Moon Province is too bad, many people consciously ignore the news over there, but Xingjiang and Black Moon Province are adjacent to each other, and a lot of news is still passed on, for the horror of the Demon King of the Mixed World, although they have not seen it, they also know that the power of the Demon King of the Mixed World is far greater than that of the Lu family who occupies Xingjiang Road.

The words of the Demon King of the Mixed World, although they are ugly, are really not crazy words. If the Demon King of the Mixed World wants to deal with the Lu family, the Lu family will not be able to stop the blade of the Demon King of the Mixed World.

"Ahem-" Lu Yihong snorted lightly, and the hall was suddenly silent. Lu Yihong was not sharp, but his very oppressive gaze passed by everyone: "Messy, what kind of system, pay attention to your identity!" ”

The people in the hall were red-faced, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Lu Yihong's gaze softened a little: "When I call you here, I want to express my opinions, come one by one, and everyone has the opportunity to speak." Third, you come first. ”

"Aside from the problem of face, let's take a look at the Demon King of the Mixed World, he is ruthless to the enemy, but he treats his own people well, if we can use his strength, our Lu family's power will definitely go further." Lu Jingjiang's third grandfather said in an old-fashioned manner.

As soon as this remark came out, many people frowned. As the land of the Lu family, they are very reluctant to be subservient to others.

"The Demon King of the Mixed World has unparalleled combat power, and we have no chance of winning. But his biggest certainty is that there is a lack of management talent, and this is our strength, and if we can work together, it will be very beneficial for both of us. Lu Jingjiang's fourth grandfather said.

"I agree with the third and fourth." Lu Jingjiang's fifth grandfather said. The three of them must have lowered their tunes, and the others understood what they meant, and the later speeches were basically inclined to surrender, of course, what they said was good to cooperate.

Only five or six abstained and did not speak.

"Jingjiang, why didn't you speak?" Fang Qingping noticed that Lu Jingjiang had been quiet since he came in and sat down.

"The Demon King of the Mixed World wants us to surrender, not to cooperate, everyone has to understand this, our status is not equal, and this is destined to be greatly limited in our rights after the past." Lu Jingjiang put down the letter of persuasion, regardless of the unhappy faces of his grandfather's generation, and looked around at everyone: "In other words, I am the Demon King of the Mixed World, and the first thing I will do after subduing the Lu family is to let the Lu family resist Liu Wei'an's safe expeditionary force, since it can test the loyalty of the Lu family, it can also consume the strength of the Lu family." Lu Jingjiang's voice intensified: I don't know how much you think the Lu family needs to pay to win the peace of mind of the Demon King of the Mixed World?"

The people in the hall are all discolored. Lu Jingjiang's speculation is not gibberish, on the contrary, it is almost 100% likely.
