After Zhang Li left, Kong Qing's yard was also a mess, and Kong Qing sat down with Yuan Yuanxiang after a simple cleaning.

"Senior brother, how did you and Zhang Li fight" Yuan Yuanxiang asked lightly.

Kong Qing sighed and said slowly, "You can't blame me for this."

Kong Qingjiang passed by Zhang Li's house last night, and then eavesdropped on the conversation, and the subsequent process was also revealed one by one.

And Yuan Yuanxiang didn't feel that Kong Qing had done anything wrong, but fell into a deep thought.

"Everyone can see that since this carp returned to the Zhang family, he has attached great importance to the position of the young family master, and he is worried that I will tell this matter," Kong Qing said helplessly.

Yuan Yuanxiang glanced at Kong Qing and said lightly, "Let's leave quickly after two more days, which of them is the young head of the family, and it has nothing to do with us."

A day passed, and the young patriarchal ceremony of the Zhang family also came as scheduled.

Everyone was still gathered in the hall, and several elders sat on the top, their faces were neither happy nor angry, and they could not see their inner thoughts.

Zhang Li and Zhang Cat stood in the lobby, compared to the two brothers Zhang Li and Zhang Cat, the other Zhang family members are also looking forward to who will be the young head of the family, once they sit in the position of the young head of the family, that is to say, the realm breaks through to the upper source realm, and they can directly become the head of the Zhang family.

However, everyone also knows that while giving the head of the family rights, it will also bring a responsibility to the head of the family, which makes the head of the family must handle everything in the family wholeheartedly, and everything he does must be based on the interests of the family, leading the whole family to continue in the middle.

The scene of so many people, no one made a sound, if nothing else, the belonging of the young family head will be announced today, and the Zhang family also has a number in their hearts, most people are still very optimistic about Zhang Li, after all, where is Zhang Li's strength.

The most important thing is that Zhang Li still came back from the county, and his martial arts knowledge is far from being comparable to Zhang Catfish.

"Ahem"

Hibiki for a long time.

A light cough came out of the Great Elder's mouth, causing everyone's spirits to be shaken.

The Great Elder's cold eyes swept around, and finally his gaze fell on Zhang Cat.

Zhang Cat's face was indifferent, he had always been like this, he always couldn't see what was hidden in his heart, the Great Elder shook his head slightly, and then slowly looked away and looked at Zhang Li.

Compared with Zhang Cat's facial expression, Zhang Li's face is full of confidence, with a tough and uninhibited smile on his mouth, in fact, only he knows that Zhang Li's heart is also very nervous, what is the main purpose of Zhang Li's return to the Zhang family, that is, to become the young head of the Zhang family, and this is the time to announce the ownership of the young master.

The Great Elder sank his eyes before he spoke, "Although the young head of the family is only a name, and there is no substantive right in our family, but becoming the young head of the family means that he has been selected as the successor of the next head of the Zhang family, and the responsibility is great, you should also know ......"

No one spoke, and the Great Elder continued, "Actually, before I announce the results of the ceremony, I still want to get an answer from the mouths of you two brothers, and I hope you can reply seriously."

"The Great Elder said bluntly," Zhang Li and Zhang Cat said at the same time.

The Great Elder nodded, paused, and then asked, "Our Zhang family has more than a dozen lower ground respecters, and only a dozen middle earth respecters, and the upper earth honors are only a handful of them, although the conditions for choosing the head of the family are very harsh, but our Zhang family always has to choose one, and everyone will listen to the words of the head of the family, and what I want to ask you is"

"An assumption, the first force in Wayan City is in the jurisdiction of the city, and the third force is in the remote land in the east, and our Zhang family plans to expand outward, what do you think should be done?"

Hiss!

Although it is a hypothesis, this question is enough to see the ambition of the Great Elder, not only the Zhang family, all forces are the same, the cultivation resources are basically fixed, if you want to obtain stronger and better cultivation resources, you need to cooperate with other forces and conduct business dealings.

But the business transaction is too slow, if there is no black heart, it will not be able to support the entire force at all, and at this time, it will be a struggle between the forces.

Aside from the hegemonic practice of directly declaring war and attacking the garrisons of other forces, that is the war of economic restriction, monopolizing the cultivation resources required by a force, including the way to obtain resources, as well as the stores and territorial scope around its power, and so on.

And the Great Elder's words, although he did not say it explicitly, he could still see the development direction of the Zhang family in the later period.

Of course, the Zhang family also has enough strength, among all the forces in Wayan City, the Zhang family has the largest number of Dizun, once it starts a war with any of the forces, the Zhang family does not dare to guarantee a complete victory, but it will definitely not be defeated.

There was silence in the lobby.

After a long time, the Great Elder looked at Zhang Catfish and asked, "Catfish, you answer first"

Summoned by the Great Elder, Zhang Cat raised his head a little reluctantly, slowed down, and said, "I think...... I think our family should conquer the whole central part first, and then ...... "VP."

"Do you think that the strength of our family is not enough" The Great Elder's tone clearly revealed the displeasure in his heart, the strength of the Zhang family is well-known in the entire Wayan City, and the Dizun travels in groups, as the Great Elder, how can he allow his own family to grow up and destroy his prestige.

Zhang Cat shook his head and continued, "I mean, there are still many small forces in the central part that are not under our family's control."

"Joke!"

This time, the person who spoke out was the second elder, and his voice was obviously angry.

Immediately interrupted Zhang Cat's words, got up and looked at Zhang Cat with heavy eyes, "As for those second-rate forces, there is no need for us to do anything, choose opponents, shouldn't we choose some forces of equal strength?"

The second elder's rhetorical question made it impossible for Zhang Cat to continue answering, although this was only a hypothesis.

The Great Elder waved his hand to block the Second Elder, and then continued to look at Zhang Li, "Li'er, what do you think?"

Asked by the Great Elder, Zhang Li nodded, then raised his head and said loudly, "It's not just our Zhang family, if there is a chance, I believe that any force in Wayan City wants to become the leader of Wayan City, after all, the leader has the qualifications to negotiate with the City Lord's Mansion, and the benefits he can get will be maximized."

Hearing Zhang Li's answer, several elders nodded one after another, "Go on"

Zhang Li said again, "Outside the city lord's mansion in Wayan City, the three major forces have almost formed a big triangle, and it is absolutely impossible to suppress the other two parties at the same time, so I think we should first make a plan to disintegrate the third force, as far as I know, the third force is just a sect force that gathers idle cultivation, and it is only two hundred years old, and the sect hall has not yet been completely finalized, and they only need to snatch all their partners in the city, and they can impose restrictions on the economy!"

"How do you know this?" the Grand Elder was a little surprised.

Zhang Li smiled confidently, until now, it was all in Zhang Li's expectations.

"Back to the Great Elder, didn't I say it before, if you want to send troops to the enemy, you must first deal with his army, not only these, but all the first-class second-rate forces in Wayan City, I have understood" Zhang Li smiled indifferently, the pride in his eyes could not be hidden, and he looked proud, didn't he just wait for the three elders to praise him.

"Well, that's good" the Great Elder nodded, and just as Zhang Li was even more stunned, the Great Elder lowered his voice and said, "But you still don't have a thorough understanding of the relationship between forces."

Hiss!

"What does the Great Elder mean......" Zhang Li couldn't help but ask.

The Great Elder sighed and said, "Everyone understands the truth, that's why I said that this is just a hypothesis, you also know that the three forces form an opposing triangle, and the three parties work together to fight against the City Lord's Mansion, and they are also holding each other back, how can one of them be allowed to break the balance formed for a hundred years?"

Not only Zhang Li, but even Kong Qing, who was listening, was the same.

You must know that the real enemy of the three major forces is the City Lord's Mansion, once that side is weak, if you want to solve this force, you must find another force that can replace this force, otherwise it will be counter-pressed by the City Lord's Mansion, which will have a great impact on the other two forces.

It's like passing through the mausoleum, as soon as the previous Yuxinmen is lonely, Jinhemen will jump out to take the position of Yuxinmen, ordinary people feel that there is no problem, they just feel that it is just a competition between sects, but in fact, Jinhemen must come up.

Even if the Jinhe Gate is not on top, there will be a Silver He Gate, or a Bronze He Gate or an Iron He Gate.

Because the two sides of Fulanmen and Misimen can't stop the pressure of the City Lord's Mansion at all, once all the forces are suppressed by the City Lord's Mansion, there is only one result, and that is to restrict development.

Elixirs, spiritual objects, source stones, these most basic cultivation resources will gradually decrease.

The currency of the Great Southern Kingdom is set up in the national territory, and a large number of resources of a city under its jurisdiction are monopolized by the city lord's mansion, and the currency will appreciate, and originally a human-level elixir will be sold for 200,000 gold, but because the elixir is scarce, it will be sold for a high price ranging from 300,000 to 500,000.

And at this time, the City Lord's Mansion, which has a lot of resources, will throw out elixirs and squeeze these forces fiercely.

Even if these forces are reluctant to buy high-priced resources, they still have to buy them, and if they don't buy them, they will affect the development of the sect and cause the strength of the disciples in the sect to stagnate.

"Our entire Great Southern Kingdom is like a balance, on a balance, there are countless other small balances, the imbalance of one or two small balances will not affect the displacement of the big scale, but if there are more small balances out of balance, the big balance will gradually fall" The Great Elder said lightly.

This is the pattern that the person in power in the power should have, and everyone wants to take advantage of the interests, but it does not mean that all interests should be shared!

Among the city-level forces, there is still no competition between the sect forces and the national domain, because these city-level forces that don't even have Tianyuan Realm martial artists are not worthy of the attention of the national domain!

The Great Elder did not announce the ownership of the young family master, but disbanded the other Zhang family disciples, leaving behind the two brothers, Zhang Li and Zhang Cat.

The Great Elder's eyes darkened, and he said lightly, "You two brothers know that your father's situation is not very good, so after the deliberation of several of our elders, there is only one condition for becoming the young family master, and that is the broken miasma grass spirit in the depths of the Wayan Mountain Range!"

Hearing this, Zhang Li and Zhang Catfish glanced at each other, both of them were at a loss, and then looked at the Great Elder at the same time, and blurted out, "Broken Miasma Grass Essence?"
