Chapter 429: Falling into the Well
In the dark room, I couldn't see my fingers.
Rapid wheezing was intermittent, occasionally mixed with bursts of violent coughing, and from time to time a series of vicious curses and invectives sounded! The strong inhuman anger in the words is simply chilling!
An old man with gray hair and disheveled clothes sat on the ground with a hideous expression and bloodshot eyes! It's like a ghost from the underworld!
The room was in shambles, and almost everything that could be smashed had been smashed!
I don't know how long it took for the head of the Jiang family to get up with difficulty, find a few potions in the debris all over the ground and take them, and felt that the suffocation in his chest was relieved a little, so he tidied up his appearance at will, and staggered open the door and walked out.
Outside, the bright sunlight shone down from the sky, dazzling his eyes, and the courtyard was full of birds and flowers, and the world was beautiful. It's just that all of this has lost its color in his eyes!
"Head of the house, are you ......?" a few high-ranking stewards greeted him and asked anxiously.
Jiang Chonghui waved his hand and said tiredly: "Needless to say, let me be alone!" ”
Several people looked at each other, and one of them plucked up the courage to say: "Family master, the Li family came just now, saying that they invited you over to discuss the matter, you see ......"
"This ...... All right! I'll come back later! Jiang Chonghui was going to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed.
The stewards breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went down to prepare.
A moment later, several maids came over with various nursing utensils, and served him to tidy up his appearance, change into a new clothes, and then a team of heavily armed guards surrounded him and went out the door. The luxury car for the exclusive use of the head of the family has been waiting outside.
Until the hovering car takes off into the air. Jiang Chonghui's sloppy eyes slowly returned to normal.
As the head of a wealthy family. His mental concentration is not comparable to ordinary people, and the pressure of reality also makes him not have much time to be weak at all! No matter how bad the situation is, this day will still be passed!
The family has suffered repeated blows in recent years, especially the destruction of the family's elite fleet and the fall of Jiang Binxue, the negative impact on the family is too great! Even the most optimistic estimates are that it will take at least ten years to recover!
After all, the Yun family and the Li family have a thicker foundation, and they have more than one Silent Star God of War in charge. So it won't be too bad for the time being.
Perhaps, this time I can only speak to them cheekily and let them support the Jiang family in some things.
Sighing again, Jiang Chonghui leaned back in his seat and stared silently.
…………
“…… I heard that last night, His Excellency the former archon of the Li family dropped his favorite teapot! ”
“…… Yes, there is also the head of the Yun family, it is said that he started a fire in the middle of the night, and several maids were beaten half to death by him! ”
“…… I don't understand who is stepping on their sore feet. So much so that these old guys, who are usually moody, will be so out of shape! ”
"Hey, hey! This is to ask Brother Xiao......"
In Xuanyuan Xiaofeng's other garden. The children of the family lived in the same room, eating and talking about various rumors and gossip that had happened in the imperial capital recently.
Towards the end of the year, as long as the affairs in the territory are not too urgent, these guys will generally choose to return to the imperial capital for the New Year, purchase various materials, hold a series of important social activities, participate in the family's achievement evaluation, and so on.
At this time, Xiao Junling also rushed back from the Biluo Galaxy, and the overjoyed crowd immediately called him out, and then went to Princess Xuanyuan's mansion to eat together!
For Xiao Junling's sake, Xuanyuan Xiaofeng was also happy this time, and personally cooked to entertain everyone.
Zhao Ziyan looked at the young man who was immersed in eating, and finally couldn't help asking, "Is that rumor true?" Those few families jointly sent troops to seize your Biluo Galaxy, but the whole army was wiped out, not to mention the loss of a million elite fleets, and even the three Silent Star War Gods fell? ”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on the young man, and even Xuanyuan Xiaofeng showed a curious look.
Xiao Junling shrugged his shoulders and said vaguely: "Hmm! This one...... Maybe...... Probably! Anyway, I don't know anything, and I haven't seen that fleet! Maybe they're all going to be destroyed on the way because they've strayed into some desperate place! Hey hey ......"
In any case, this kind of thing can only be done, not said! In fact, the open and secret struggle between the wealthy families in the imperial capital has never stopped, of course, for various reasons, in China, especially in the imperial capital, they basically will not tear their faces and do it.
Therefore, the battlefield of the contest was invariably moved to the Savage Star Domain by them!
When the time is right, secretly mobilize the fleet to strike, plunder, or even directly seize the overseas territories of those hostile families! It's been a commonplace phenomenon for a long time!
In any case, before the territory in the wilderness is officially incorporated into the empire, the binding force of the empire's laws is quite limited, and such a practice will not be interfered with by the imperial authorities.
Therefore, in addition to expanding their territory in the wilderness and looking for new territories and planets, another important task of these wealthy children is to protect the existing territory of the family from being taken away by hostile forces!
What is the situation of Xiao Junling's Biluo Galaxy, there are rumors in the imperial capital circle, it is said that it is a galaxy about the same size as the Su family's Shuoyue Galaxy, but much richer!
Although this young man only occupies a limited number of star fields in the entire galaxy at present, the annual income has already made many wealthy families hot! If it weren't for the background behind Xiao Junling, they would have already planned to start robbing it directly!
As the leaders of the old giants, the Yun and Li families would not have so many scruples, and after confirming the number and type of resources that Xiao Junling brought back, they decided to do it as soon as possible! Do not hesitate to use artifacts as bait in order to make a contribution in one fell swoop!
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Xiao Junling came back unharmed, as for that batch of fleets, needless to say, it must be more than lucky! Including those outstanding family children, as well as many powerful figures in the second batch of families, they are all alive and dead!
Although Xiao Junling didn't admit it in person, he only looked at his meaningful expression. These shrewd children of the family already have a bottom in their hearts. While secretly shocked. I'm starting to think about it, too!
Zuo Shiji immediately spoke: "Since this is the case. Brother Xiao, and everyone, don't you think this is a very good opportunity? ”
Everyone looked stunned, and Qin Weiyang asked cautiously, "Do you mean to say that these clans are in the wilderness?" ”
"Of course!" Zuo Shiji sneered slightly,
"The Yun and Li families have deep roots, so it's not easy for us to start for the time being, but this Jiang family, the Yu family, and the Zhu family's territory. We don't need to be polite to them! Since they dare to hit Brother Xiao with their ideas, they must have the consciousness to pay the price! ”
What he meant was to unite the fleets at hand and pick a few suitable ones among the many territories of these families! In addition to being able to benefit himself, he can also use this to show favor to Xiao Junling!
An Yulong looked at the wine glass in his hand and said slowly, "Who said this can't be done?" I remember that the people of the Yu family have always been on the wrong path with us, relying on the fact that Yu Hongbo, a member of the Supreme Ruling Council, was born in the family, so they didn't take us seriously, and now they have such an opportunity. It's time to give them some color! ”
Wei Qinghao said with a smile: "The strength of the Zhu family is not very strong, but it has a few very good territories!" In the few star fields close to the Blue Moon Galaxy. The specialty of the empire is the famous 'Qingyu Powder', which is an important raw material for making coolant for energy reactors! If we can grab it, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money! ”
Xiao Junling suddenly became a little moved, and said: "Since this is the case, then let's make a good calculation, and prepare to do it after the New Year!" ”
Everyone said a word, and soon reached an agreement! Xiao Junling will dispatch 5,000 warships, and the others will each take out fleets ranging from 2,000 to 5,000, and then he will command them in a unified manner, and first pick the Zhu family with the weakest foundation! After you succeed, you will decide on the next target according to the situation! The income obtained will be distributed uniformly according to the amount of each person's contribution!
Taking advantage of the temporary weakening of the military strength of several wealthy families, beat the water dogs! It was a common practice in the past! And Xiao Junling has never been a magnanimous person, of course, there is no need to be polite to these guys who are plotting for their own foundation and wanting their own lives!
"Sister, I don't know what your opinion is?" After the last, Xiao Junling asked Xuanyuan Xiaofeng.
Xuanyuan Xiaofeng glared at him, and said unhappily: "You guy, it's just a matter of bringing a vote of undisciplined people to eat here!" is still here to discuss the matter of murder, arson, and land grabbing! It's really ......."
Zhao Ziyan said nervously: "Sister, you shouldn't say anything, right?" It's a big deal, we'll get some of the benefits for you! ”
"That's pretty much it!" Princess Xuanyuan said with satisfaction,
"Then count me in! I also took out 3,000 warships, such a fun thing, how can people miss it! ”
After a meal, many heirs of wealthy families formed a unanimous opinion to suppress the Zhu family! As for the Yun and Li families, they are safe for the time being, but as long as they make a start, the strength of falling into the well and following the scenery will never be less, and it will be enough to give those two old guys a headache for a while!
…………
At the mouth of the wormhole at the edge of the imperial capital star system, a large number of spaceships shuttle back and forth.
This is one of the thirty-five large wormholes leading to the alien domain in the imperial capital, and more than 10 million ships and merchant fleets enter and exit here every day! Countless rare resources are continuously transported into the power center of the empire, which is the main artery channel connecting the imperial capital and the provinces!
A saucer-shaped spaceship with a dark red body and a diameter of more than 100 meters emerged from the mouth of the wormhole.
The murderous aura that was so thick that it could not be dissolved was billowing out from the inside of the spaceship, faintly carrying countless terrible and terrifying howls, as if the Shura Killing God from the Nine Hells had appeared, and even the starlight projected on the hull of the ship showed obvious signs of distortion! The surrounding ships quickly avoided as if they had seen a plague god!
"It's been ten years, damn the imperial capital...... Lao Tzu is finally back! An arrogant and cruel voice sounded faintly in the spaceship, with bursts of low, cold morbid laughter.
“…… Xichen Qinglan, I haven't seen you for many years, you should be more beautiful, right? I really miss you! Hey, hey......" (To be continued......)
