Chapter 36
"Lin Xuanzhong, do you have any specific suggestions?" This time it was the great elder of the Lin family, Lin Piaoyu's grandfather, Lin Fangqing.
"The specific plan can be discussed by you, I am just giving you an idea. Because of the relief just now, Lin Xuanzhong's tone has become indifferent now, and even the appearance when he speaks has changed greatly.
"Lin Xuanzhong, you have such a big breath, you really take yourself seriously. Seeing Lin Xuanzhong's arrogant words, Lin Huanghuang immediately accused him dissatisfiedly.
"If the elders think I'm rude, don't ask for my opinion. In the face of the second elder's question, Lin Xuanzhong's face did not change, and he added coldly, and then fell silent, not wanting to say another word. Originally, because Lin Fangqing was Lin Piaoyu's grandfather, Lin Xuanzhong had already paid attention to his tone when he spoke, but now Lin Huanghuang still wanted to stir up trouble, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to face the elders of the Lin family anymore.
Lin Canghai, who was sitting up, saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately spoke, and then said: "When the Lin family is in danger, how can you still have the heart to fight, Second Elder, you don't have to say much." "It seems that he deliberately favors Lin Xuanzhong, but Lin Canghai asked Lin Huanghuang not to say more.
Understanding the importance of the matter, Lin Huanghuang snorted coldly at Lin Xuanzhong dissatisfied, and then stopped talking. Next, at Lin Canghai's instructions, everyone began to discuss the specific strategy of preemptive strike.
Half an hour later, the discussion ended, and Lin Canghai announced in public: "Late tomorrow night, the second elder and the third elder will each take a hundred people to attack the Zhou and Wu families at night. Following the other elders who also agreed, after all the elders expressed their positions, Lin Canghai and the elders naturally looked at Lin Xuanzhong and them. After Lin Xuanzhong's words just now, many elders now want to see what Lin Xuanzhong means.
After Lin You and the others agreed one after another, when it was Lin Xuanzhong's turn, the hall suddenly fell silent.
"Hyun Chung, tell me what you think. Lin Canghai's voice sounded at the right time.
Although he did not participate in the specific discussion before, Lin Xuanzhong still heard a lot of the details of their discussion and thought a lot about some specific details. Now that Lin Canghai asked what he thought, Lin Xuanzhong replied directly: "The people sent out must be skilled, so if two hundred people are sent out at the same time, it may make the Lin family empty, and if they encounter foreign enemies, the Lin family's situation will be even more dangerous." In my opinion, we need to continue to consider the number and strength of the personnel. ”
"Then do you have any specific suggestions?" Seeing that what Lin Xuanzhong said was reasonable, Lin Canghai asked.
"I don't know much about the situation of the Lin family, so I can't give detailed advice. Although he had considered this aspect last night, but when he thought that he didn't know much about the personnel situation of the Lin family, Lin Xuanzhong still didn't express his original thoughts, and only gave an excuse to deal with it.
"I see, but I didn't think about it. Lin Canghai didn't think that Lin Xuanzhong was prevaricating, but thought that he was not thoughtful. Immediately afterwards, Lin Canghai directly instructed Great Elder Lin Fangqing to take a roster.
"This is the current personnel situation of the Lin family, you can take a look at it first, and then give us an answer. After Lin Fangqing handed a roster to Lin Canghai for a moment, Lin Canghai wanted to hand the pamphlet to Lin Xuanzhong with a smile.
"Master, no. Who would have thought that the second elder Lin Huanghuang suddenly spoke out and stopped: "The roster is an important item of the Lin family, and it is related to the information of all the personnel of the Lin family, how can it be shown to a junior casually." Lin Huanghuang's tone was a little serious, obviously not wanting Lin Xuanzhong to look at the booklet.
Previously, Lin Canghai asked the outstanding children of the clan to participate in the deliberations, and Lin Xuanzhong could appear here, but Lin Qianmu was seriously injured and bedridden, which made Lin Huanghuang dissatisfied. Now Lin Canghai values Lin Xuanzhong so much that he wants to show Lin Xuanzhong a list of similar genealogies in front of all the elders, Lin Huanghuang really can't stand it. Now speaking out to stop Lin Canghai obviously has ulterior motives.
"Second Elder Jue" is what's wrong? Interrupted by the Second Elder's words, Lin Canghai had no choice but to turn around and ask.
"The head of the family, originally the three alliances wanted to eradicate the Lin family is Lin Xuanzhong's hearsay, the news has no substantive evidence, and the reason that Lin Xuanzhong used to explain that he can cultivate is even more unconvincing, but now the head of the family wants to show Lin Xuanzhong the roster, and the old man will never agree?"
After Lin Huanghuang finished speaking, the elders who had completely believed in Lin Xuanzhong just now had to reconsider Lin Xuanzhong's credibility. In case Lin Xuanzhong is really bought by outsiders, then once the roster is seen by him, then the Lin family's personnel information will no longer be hidden.
Before Lin Canghai could express his position, several elders advised Lin Canghai to think carefully, obviously they already had doubts about Lin Xuanzhong.
"Grandpa, hurry up and speak for Brother Xuan Zhong. Seeing that many elders agreed with Lin Huanghuang's words, Lin Piaoyu hurriedly asked Lin Fangqing for help.
In fact, Lin Fangqing also had a lot of questions about some of Lin Xuanzhong's ability to cultivate, although he had already seen Lin Wuwu, but now Lin Fangqing really couldn't say anything to support Lin Xuanzhong. Shaking his head at Lin Piaoyu, Lin Fangqing did not speak.
Regarding Lin Fangqing's performance, Lin Xuanzhong was not surprised, and he also didn't care. It's just that he didn't expect Lin Canghai to show himself the roster that recorded the information of the Lin family's personnel, such an important item is enough to show Lin Canghai's trust in him. Thinking so in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong really didn't know what he should do.
On the other side, because of everyone's opposition, Lin Canghai had to think about it again. If it was according to his own intentions, Lin Canghai still wanted to continue the decision just now, and if he wanted to take into account the opinions of the elders, Lin Canghai would have to think of a reason so that the elders could not object. It's just that Lin Xuanzhong gave too little credible information, and Lin Canghai also couldn't get a reason from Lin Xuanzhong to convince everyone, and now he couldn't force Lin Xuanzhong to explain anything, so because of Lin Huanghuang's questioning, Lin Canghai was really in a dilemma.
Everything in the hall was developing in a normal direction just now, but now that Lin Huanghuang's obstruction was interrupted, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall was tense and embarrassing.
Originally, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to know the personnel information of the Lin family, but now because of a roster, everyone questioned it, Lin Xuanzhong was a little helpless, and glanced at Lin Huanghuang with a sneer, Lin Xuanzhong retracted his gaze with a look of disgust. Thinking about the current situation, I had already considered it, and according to the earlier plan, when the others were silent, Lin Xuanzhong said directly: "Since the elders don't believe me, Xuanzhong can leave first. Since the Lin family didn't need their own help, Lin Xuanzhong could only reluctantly give up his original plan to help the Lin family.
Lin Xuanzhong wanted to leave, Lin Huanghuang was naturally the first to agree, and the other elders did not speak to be regarded as acquiescence. Lin Canghai knew what the elders thought, but he valued Lin Xuanzhong more, because Lin Xuanzhong was the best genius in the history of the Lin family, not only was he extremely outstanding in martial arts, but also had an extraordinary mind, and with a little training, he would definitely become the next generation of the Lin family's successor.
For more than ten years, the Lin family has owed Lin Xuanzhong too much, if Lin Xuanzhong is ignored now, Lin Canghai can think that Lin Xuanzhong will not have any sense of belonging to the Lin family in the future, and as far as the current situation is concerned, this situation has obviously existed. The Lin family has been wrong for more than ten years, Lin Canghai doesn't want to continue to be wrong, no matter what other elders think of Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Canghai must also use actions to prove Lin Xuanzhong's existence at this time.
"This is the end of today's meeting, the simple roster will be handed over to Lin Xuanzhong for safekeeping, the elders don't need to say much, tomorrow the banquet is over, and the old man will convene everyone to hold a final meeting. Without giving any elders a chance to object, Lin Canghai made a final decision, and there was no doubt in his tone. Those elders only need to look at Lin Canghai's face at this time, and they can completely understand Lin Canghai's attitude.
"Master of the family, your decision is not considered, and the old man will never agree to it. Unexpectedly, Lin Huanghuang would not give up easily, and vetoed Lin Canghai's order in public.
"The second elder doesn't need to say much, the old man has his own decision, and the elders just need to do it. It was long expected that Lin Huanghuang would oppose again, and Lin Canghai responded directly. He immediately handed over the roster to Lin Xuanzhong, and then turned around and left the conference room, leaving a group of elders helpless. However, Lin Canghai's departure also made everyone understand that their family master was undoubtedly convinced of Lin Xuanzhong's words.
Now that Lin Canghai is gone, the Great Elder will naturally be in charge of the conference room. In desperation, some elders could only set their sights on the Great Elder. "Don't look at me, since the head of the family has already made his attitude, I believe you all know what to do. For everyone's gaze, the Great Elder could only give such a response.
"Hmph," the Great Elder had just finished speaking, and Lin Huanghuang immediately snorted coldly, and then got up to leave, his face full of anger.
With Lin Huanghuang's departure, the conference hall was cold again, but no one left with him. Next, Lin Fangqing continued to preside over the meeting. Some action plans have been discussed before, and now the Great Elder only needs to explain the specific implementation process. It was not until half an hour later, after it was confirmed that everyone had no objections to the plan, that the meeting was concluded. According to the order, everyone left the underground secret room one after another.
Before leaving, the attitude of some elders towards Lin Xuanzhong did not improve, and the young children also had a bad face in the past half of the matter, only Lin You and Lin Guangyao Lin Xuanzhong's opinion did not change.
Smiling at Lin You and Lin Guangyao friendly, Lin Xuanzhong took Lin Piaoyu and left together. On the way, the two briefly exchanged some things and didn't say much. After separating from Lin Piaoyu, Lin Xuanzhong walked to his residence alone.
Back in the courtyard, Qinglan and a few people were waiting, and when they saw that it was Lin Xuanzhong who came back, they naturally greeted him with a smile. "Young Master, they didn't embarrass you, did they?" Lin Feng's voice sounded first, since today's few events, Lin Feng's entire temperament has changed greatly, giving people a completely different feeling from before.
"No, it's just a matter of discussing something tonight, so let's go in first. Back in the house, Lin Feng made four cups of tea, and the four of them talked while talking. Not long after autumn came, the temperature in the house was still very comfortable, and there was no discomfort for several people sitting around a table.
Talking about the situation of the evening's deliberations, Lin Xuanzhong did not hide anything, and just borrowed some things to kill the boredom of Qinglan and them. It is also said that the situation in the ghost city is bound to change greatly after the night, on the one hand, Lin Xuanzhong is also to let them make some psychological preparations in advance.
Because of Lin Wuwu's relationship, now Qinglan and Wan'er don't have to worry about their safety, so they are very concerned about Lin Xuanzhong's safety. Next, several people kept discussing some future issues, and it was late at night before Lin Xuanzhong took Lin Feng and left, giving up his bedroom to Qinglan and them to rest.
Originally, Lin Piaoyu wanted to take Bai Qinglan to his residence to rest, but Bai Qinglan decided to stay with Lin Xuanzhong to rest because of fear and some inconvenience. Although the bedroom is a little simple, the bedding is new, and Lin Xuanzhong's bed itself is big enough for Qinglan and Bi'er to rest together. As for Lin Xuanzhong himself, he could only rest with Lin Feng tonight.
Lying on the bed, sleepiness came one after another, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't dare to sleep, the problem hadn't been thought out clearly, and the time was so urgent, Lin Xuanzhong really couldn't sleep.
Just now, after Lin Canghai and Lin Huanghuang left, when the meeting was still going on, Lin Xuanzhong had already carefully watched the contents of the simple roster. It was not bad from the earlier guess, counting the servants, there were seven hundred and twenty-three people living in the Lin family, of which four hundred and ten were at the third order and above. Subdivided, there are twenty-three sixth-order martial cultivators, fifty-three fifth-order martial cultivators, one hundred and seven fourth-order martial cultivators, and the remaining two hundred and twenty-seven people are ordinary martial cultivators.
I have to say that when I saw this list in person, I was much more shocked than when Lin Xuanzhong guessed last night, the Lin family is worthy of being the first family in the hidden city, although there are many clansmen who are not in the city, the overall strength is still very strong.
What Lin Xuanzhong didn't expect was that he originally thought that the sixth-order martial artists were already the peak strength of the Lin family, but he didn't expect that there were more than a dozen Supreme Elders above Lin Canghai and the others whose strength had reached the seventh order, and they were really the foundation of the Lin family. Although Lin Xuanzhong had never seen those Supreme Elders at all, Lin Xuanzhong also knew that those Supreme Elders had been hiding from the world all along, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see that they were the people behind the Lin family who could really protect the safety of the Lin family.
Now that Lin Canghai had even marked out the information about the existence of the Supreme Elder, Lin Xuanzhong could think that Lin Canghai trusted him enough, and he could even say that he valued himself very much. Although he didn't have much affection for the Lin family in his heart, now Lin Xuanzhong still planned to think about the Lin family.
