Volume 2, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers Chapter 174 The Sixteen-Year-Old Head of the House
In the main hall, Liu Xiu stood above with white hair. Next to him is the thin uncle Liu Zhou. Below, there are Liu Yang and Liu Qiaoer's sisters and brothers, as well as several descendants of the clan.
In today's battle, although Liu Xiu reversed the situation, several clan elders were injured in the battle just now, and Liu Qiaoer's two sisters and brothers also had blood stains on their bodies.
Even so, the elders of the several clans did not feel the slightest pain, but instead smiled and looked very excited. Get rid of Liu Batian and others this time, and in the future, the Liu Mansion will be completely in the hands of the descendants, and there will be no worries.
"It's really happy! Just now I was thinking that all of us big guys would sacrifice themselves for the family today, but I didn't expect that Liu Batian and others would suffer!"
"Liu Batian, this guy is innocent, if he hadn't started this fight, we wouldn't have killed and injured many people from time to time. ”
"Although we won this time, it was not a small price. Most of the black-armored guards were killed and wounded, and the vitality of our Liu Mansion was also greatly injured. ”
The elders of the several clans opened their mouths, and they felt very happy at first, but when they thought of Liu Fu, who was now greatly injured, their faces became a little heavy.
The side clansmen are hateful, but they are also an extremely powerful force in the Liu Mansion, after today's battle, the vitality of the entire Liu Mansion has increased, and the strength has at least dropped by half, and it may not even be able to keep the name of the Eight Great Families if it continues like this.
"And the person killed by Liu Xiu's predecessors today can also summon an immortal royal weapon, it seems that there are other forces coveting my Liu family. As if thinking of something, Liu Zhang's face was a little solemn. He said softly: "Now that Liu Fuyun's qi is greatly injured, if there are other family forces that fall into the ground, I'm afraid it will ......."
He didn't go on, but everyone knew what he meant. There are not many descendants of the clan, and in the past, the operation of the Liu Mansion relied more on the collateral clansmen, but now if all the collateral clansmen are swept away, you can imagine how much impact it has.
"I don't ask about these things, they are all things that you should be concerned about. Liu Xiu shook his head, obviously not wanting to get involved in the affairs of the Liu Mansion. This time, he was able to make a thunderous move, which had already made everyone look sideways, where would they dare to ask him to do other things.
"This issue is indeed more important, although Liu Batian led many collateral clans to rebel, but there are still many collateral clansmen who are not involved, if we all come to a conclusion, I am afraid that thousands of collateral clansmen will all have their heads on the ground!"
The current Liu Mansion is full of holes, if there is no collateral clan to maintain the operation, it will be squeezed out of its current status immediately, you must know that a force not only looks at the background but also needs influence, if it is not the slightest influence, then it is naturally difficult to maintain any status.
And once you lose your status, it is naturally difficult to get more resources. The relationships are all connected, and if they are not handled well, it may lead to the catastrophe of the Liu family.
Over the past 30 years, the Liu government has been gradually declining every day, and although the problem of civil strife has been dealt with, how to restore stability is a very important issue.
"And now that the whereabouts of the head of the family are unknown, we need to investigate this matter carefully. Another clan elder also spoke, with a hint of worry in his tone. Last time the head of the family Liu Chang disappeared, they sent a lot of people to investigate, but there were no clues, and because of the interference of Liu Batian and others, they couldn't spare much energy, and now this matter is also imminent.
"Senior, you have great powers, do you know what happened that night?" Liu Zhou frowned slightly, and asked softly to Liu Xiu.
At the beginning, his body did not recover, and there was a lot of movement that night, but when he rushed over, he didn't see any figure, and he couldn't even feel the breath of the second brother. There is still a question about what happened that night.
"I really don't know about it. Liu Chang's stinky boy retreat has been forbidden by the ancestors of the past dynasties, and I also went to investigate after I found out about the abnormality that night, but when I rushed over, I didn't find anything, and you appeared less than a moment later, and then I didn't show up and returned to the Scripture Pavilion. ”
Liu Xiu's eyes also had a hint of surprise in his eyes, what happened that night was too weird. According to his realm cultivation, the entire Liu Mansion would know about it, but when he rushed over that night, he didn't notice any breath at all, it seemed that there was a big battle but it ended too quickly, more like a blow and retreated. He can't guess what the specific situation is.
"If the head of the house is missing, then it is time for us to elect a new one. Liu Zhang sighed, if even Liu Xiu and other characters didn't find out about the situation that night, it is conceivable that Liu Chang is probably in some danger, either he will take the initiative to leave Liu's mansion or he will ......
Thinking of this, his face was a little gloomy.
Hearing the conversation of several people, Liu Yang's expression was a little heavy. Although his father Liu Chang had little contact with him, he could feel the former's love for him. He is more concerned about the whereabouts of the former than anyone else.
"Liu Zhang is right, now we must find a backbone. ”
Several clan elders spoke one after another, but their eyes fell on Liu Zhou.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Zhou ignored their burning gazes, but looked at Liu Yang next to him, and said softly: "Liu Yang, you were originally the heir, and I propose that you be the head of the Liu family." ”
"My cousin is the head of the house?"
Liu Qiao'er's sister and brother were originally silent, but they were very shocked when they heard their father's proposal, but after a while, they regained their calm. Liu Yang was originally the heir to the head of the family, and now that the second uncle Liu Chang is no longer there, it is indispensable for him to be the head of the family.
"Uncle, aren't you kidding?" Liu Yang's head shook like a rattle, but in addition, he said that his current strength may be the top figure of the younger generation, but he definitely has little ability to resist in the face of the older generation of strong people.
The head of the eight great families, which one is not a famous and powerful cultivator. Moreover, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, which is not ridiculous and generous.
"Uncle, I think it's better for you to be qualified for the time being. Facing Liu Zhou's gaze, Liu Yang groaned: "Now that I am young, and I am not as strong as many predecessors in terms of cultivation, our Liu family has been established for a long time, and we can't be defeated in my hands." ”
Liu Yang's words are indeed from the bottom of his heart, he is now dedicated to cultivation, if he becomes the head of the Liu family, the family affairs are so cumbersome, then he will definitely delay his cultivation time, and on the other hand, now that the empire is at war, the identity of the head of the Liu Mansion is even more dangerous. He didn't want to be a thorn in someone's side.
"How about your young age, your current talent, you can break through the fourth realm or even the fifth realm in a few years, and when the time comes, isn't there a few people in the entire imperial city who can have such an achievement as you?" He grinned and said to Liu Yang: "And after becoming the head of the family, you can obtain many resources, which can help you cultivate." Even, you can enter several top-secret cultivation places in the clan, and staying in them for a day is definitely better than your penance for several days. ”
"Uncle, I really don't want to be the head of this family. Liu Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, not because he was unwilling, but because he had many scruples. In terms of ability and cultivation, the eldest uncle Liu Zhou is more suitable.
"I think what this kid Liu Zhou said does make sense. Your kid's black belly qualification is even three points stronger than Liu Chang, and the Liu family may be able to regain its glory under your leadership. At this time, Liu Xiu smiled and agreed.
"This ......"
Liu Yang was speechless for a while.
"Liu Zhou, Liu Yang is really good, but he is still young. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zhang said softly: "I think it is more appropriate for you to temporarily serve as the head of the family." ”
"It's not that I'm going to excuse myself, but I'm going to go out after dealing with family affairs. After a moment of silence, Liu Zhou spoke.
"What. You want to go out?" Hearing this, several clan elders were a little surprised.
"Thirty years ago, I had to settle that feud with my own hands. Moreover, the whereabouts of the second brother are unknown now, maybe not in the Imperial City, I can also inquire about his whereabouts by the way. ”
"Father!"
Liu Qiaoer's pretty face was a little nervous, she never knew that her father had the idea of leaving the Liu family. Next to him, Liu Yupang also had a trace of worry on his face.
"Don't be nervous, I'll be back if you don't care about your personal affairs. But it will take a year and a half to come and go, and the old people of the digital clan are getting old, and now it's time for these young people to take some responsibility for our Liu Mansion. ”
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Zhou's solemn face, and he said seriously to Liu Yang: "So you kid has to be the head of this family." ”
"In that case, then I'm in favor of it. ”
"I'm for it too!"
Originally, several clan elders were still a little worried, but now they can't help it when they hear Liu Zhou's words. At that time, they can only try their best to assist Liu Yang, and the latter may be a good seedling relatively speaking, looking at his calm personality.
"Cousin, you can agree to come down. Sixteen-year-old family master! If it spreads, not only will our Liu Mansion not lose face, but maybe it will become famous!"
Liu Yu smiled, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Don't ink, you kid, since Liu Chang is not here, you, as his son, must take on this responsibility. Liu Xiu snorted lightly, Liu Yang was able to cultivate Qingyuan Sword Dao, the most powerful technique in Liu Mansion, and he could be regarded as half of his disciple, if he became the head of the family, he would rest assured.
Everyone in the hall looked at Liu Yang with expectant eyes, waiting for his final reply.
Now, no matter how many other plans Liu Yang has in his heart, he can't continue to shirk. He raised his head and said with a firm face: "Since the eldest uncle and the number of people believe in me, then Liu Yang will no longer refuse." ”
"Sixteen-year-old head of the house!"
Seeing that he agreed, several clan elders were relieved to come.
