After the meal, the family gathered in the conference hall to cook home.

The three uncles did not leave, they were very interested in the current situation of the Mutters family, after all, it was a large family of considerable status, and the Rhine patriarch, who was younger than them, made a deep impression on them when he came to propose marriage.

They did not leave, and their three sons stayed with them.

"The Rhine patriarch is so courageous, even if a family that has been a city lord declines, it can't be destroyed casually," after listening to Lin Ke's simple description, his eldest uncle Kent said with emotion, "Although the Mutes family is emerging, it is unstoppable!"

"Yes," continued his second uncle, Leonard, "so that Serena will be relieved to come home and have a look after a while, and my uncle will think of her very much." ”

Lin Ke replied respectfully, "What the second uncle said is that my mother will go back to Liucheng to visit my grandfather after she is busy with the trivial matters in the family, and she misses her grandfather very much, for which my grandfather also feels very sorry." ”

"The family doesn't talk to each other, since Serena is married, she is Rhine's daughter-in-law, and it is what she should do to help her family through the difficulties," Old Man Wood smiled and waved his hand, "I'm grateful that Rhine can mean this." ”

Just as everyone was chatting, a young man walked straight in and looked at the elders, who were rarely gathered together, and stopped talking.

"What's the matter, Tony?" asked Morris, the second eldest of the third generation of the Qingfeng family, the middle-aged man who Lin Ke wanted to call the second brother, in a deep voice.

"Father, there is something important," said young Tony, glancing at Lynco and Elle.

Old Man Wood frowned slightly, and Leonard, Linko's second uncle, said angrily, "That's your cousin and his elders, say, what's the matter?!"

The young man bowed his head and said yes, and then said in a slur manner, "Xiao Wu was chased and escaped on the side of the mine, and he was not seriously injured, but things were a little strange. ”

Old Man Wood pondered for a moment and said, "What about the others?"

"Right outside the door," replied the young man respectfully.

"Let him in," Wood said lightly.

"Greetings to great-uncles, grandfathers and elders," a young man with a slightly pale face walked in and respectfully saluted everyone present, and then looked at Lin Ke and said in amazement, "It's you?!"

Wood frowned slightly, "What does it look like! This is your cousin Cohen." ”

The young man was stunned suddenly, although he couldn't understand when he had such a young cousin, he still bowed respectfully to Lin Ke, " Hello cousin, thank you Uncle Cousin for saving your life, great-uncle Zu, a few days ago, Xiao Wu went to the family vein for routine inspection, and happened to meet a group of people of unknown origin in black who were wandering near the mine, and overheard them talking about what kind of attack and other things, but there were masters in this group of people who found me, fortunately, I was far away from them, and rushed all the way to the nearby Shiliu River to jump into the river and swim towards the merchant ships in the river, I didn't expect that it was Uncle Cousin's fleet, it was he who rescued Xiao Wu, I heard the caravan people say that they also repelled an attack by the man in black, otherwise Xiao Wu's life would definitely not be guaranteed！”

Everyone was silent, each with their own thoughts.

Linko's second brother, Morris, suddenly stood up and saluted Linko, "Cousin Cohen, thank you!"

Lin Ke hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the aisle, "Second brother doesn't have to be like this, it's a trivial matter, not to mention that we are still a family." ”

Old Man Wood ignored Morris and Linko and asked the young man, "You said the man in black said about the attack near the family's vein?"

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, great-uncle, I didn't pay attention at first, so I just heard words like attack and night, and I was discovered in a moment of panic. ”

Wood turned to Linkodao again, "The fleet repelled an enemy attack?"

Lin Ke frowned and shook his head, "It's not a repulsion, it's a kill, and there is no one alive." ”

The crowd was silent.

After a long time, the third uncle Mandel spoke, "Maybe it's just an accident, some people with intentions who are planning to see unseemly secrets near our family's vein were accidentally broken by Xiao Liu, and such a thing was born, the Qingfeng family has stood in Wind City for thousands of years, and it is not just anyone who dares to beat our family's idea." ”

"That's not what I said," Uncle Kent frowned, "The Fili family in Windy City is also a veteran family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, so what happened? I'm afraid that some people in the other families will look at us unpleasantly and will move our money bags to disgust people!"

Second Uncle Leonard glanced at Kent and said leisurely, "It's certain that someone wants to move, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to put the Qingfeng family and the Filip family together, my Qingfeng family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the city lord has more than one term, not to mention that there is a dragon power realm master like my uncle, can he still be exterminated?"

Uncle Kent frowned even more tightly and said, "The Qingfeng family is naturally not comparable to the little Fili family, second, you know what I mean, I'm afraid this incident is just the beginning." ”

The second uncle smiled and said, "Not necessarily, I'm afraid the eldest brother is a snake shadow." ”

"You!" exclaimed Uncle Kent with an upturned eyebrow!

"Enough!"

Old Man Wood's fluttering voice exploded in everyone's ears.

"The Qingfeng family has been inherited for thousands of years, this is the only reason why you are proud so far, right?" Old Man Wood was angry, and everyone was silent, "Maren, I ordered the Eighth Guardian Knight Squadron to rush to the mine vein station to assist in the defense, and the alert level has been raised to the highest, and if there is any situation, report to me at any time, that's it today, disperse." ”

The crowd saluted respectfully and dispersed, leaving only Linko and Roentgen's mother and daughter in the hall, who had been stopped by the old man.

"Cohen, you just came here to let you see this farce, Xiao Wu's affairs are thanks to you, he is one of the few clever children in the fourth generation of the Qingfeng family, and it is a pity to lose it in the conspiracy of the family feud," Old Man Wood said with some interest.

Lin Ke shook his head and amused Röntgen with a look of wanting to say something, "You can say whatever you want, what else can't you say in front of your grandfather?"

Lin Ke smiled and said, "Grandpa, although I don't know much about the situation of the Qingfeng family in Liucheng, but I can probably guess some of the situation of the Mutes family, this time the matter will definitely not be as simple as an accident, first of all, there are giants of the Great Power Realm in the team that attacked the ship, Liucheng is located in the northern inner line of the empire, will there be a group of robbers with the powerhouses of the Great Power Realm? Secondly, if it is found out that it is a matter of murder for money, it is too late to extinguish it, it is a big deal to give up an operation, and will never risk rushing to the ship to assassinate the mouth, and finally, it is really such a coincidence that there is just a bandit group and other organizations masked and black-clothed to run to the edge of the Qingfeng family......'s vein to conspire to commit a crime?

Donna looked at Old Man Wood with some apprehension, and Röntgen looked solemn.

The old man Wood stared at Lin Ke quietly for a while, and then suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! Serena, this ghost girl is still a little blessed, but it makes my old fellow feel a lot more relieved, haha," the old man stood up and came to Lin Ke's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Cohen, tell Grandpa, what do you think is the most important thing for a family inheritance and continuation?"

Lin Ke pondered for a moment and then said, "Family culture and a sound education system. ”

Wood nodded and shook his head and said, "It is indeed a very important aspect for ordinary noble families, but to put it bluntly, the most important thing is people, to be precise, it is actually a small group of people who can be called masters, this is the rule of the God of War Empire for thousands of years, if you are a high enough master, and you live long enough, then this family has enough time to enjoy status and power." ”

Wood began to pace down the hall, "I don't want your Aunt Röntgen to take over the affairs of the Qingfeng family, and she's not such a character," he smiled at Roentgen and continued, But these three brothers have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and none of them has been able to convince the others, as you said, this is the biggest contradiction within the family, divided into parties and factions, and the infighting is vigorous, but the problem is that they are too narrow-minded, and their eyes will only stare at the Qingfeng family, counting each other's gains and losses, but they don't know that the outside world is already ready to move. ”

"Why don't you tell them these words, I see that the three uncles have great respect for you," said Lin Ke, and he had nothing to say at this time.

"Hehe, respecting this kind of thing can't make a person see what he can't see, why haven't I said these words?Maybe the aura of the Qingfeng family's thousand-year-old inheritance is too dazzling, so that his children and grandchildren have lost the awe they should have for this world," Wood glanced at Linko and said with a smile, "If you don't really face some difficulties and bear some unbearable losses, some people's eyes can't be opened and don't want to open after all." ”

Lin Ke was shocked that his grandfather had such an idea!

"Grandpa, isn't that ...... Isn't it too risky?" said Linko, hesitantly.

"This vein is the Qingfeng family's biggest source of income, and once it is lost, it will indeed make the family suffer an unpredictable blow, but do you think we will be fine if we keep it like a fortress? Haha, there are too many people staring at this piece of fat! Covering it too tightly will only make people covet it more! The only factor that wants to keep the vein can only be the strength of the family itself, if it is not strong enough to deter the others, sooner or later the vein will have to belong to someone else," Old Man Wood is more broad-minded than Linke, and he can see more deeply.

"Yes, Cohen, how many tribulations has the Qingfeng family encountered after so many years? Not to mention, just thirty years ago, if it wasn't for your grandfather's strong return, the family would have walked directly downhill, where would they still have the ability to take care of what veins they could get!" Röntgen also spoke, " A few months ago, my aunt returned to the family with a broken fleet, and I thought that the incident of the powerful man of the Great Power Realm who belonged to the family dared to defect was enough to make your three uncles who were addicted to the game of power sober up, but who knew that they had thought of other aspects in unison, which was chilling. ”

Donna, who saw Lin Ke's doubts, pouted and shouted, "They all think that my mother is too hard to live alone, and they want to find a stepfather for me!"

Lin Ke Moran.
