At this moment, Zhang Rufeng stood up and said loudly: "Is it okay for me to say two words?" ”

"Of course you can, Rufeng, you are the son of Master Zhang, you should talk about it."

"What Hou Ye just said is to announce the master's entrustment before his death, which is also Hou Ye's decision. Hou Ye said very clearly, this is the arrangement of his father before his death, and it is also something that Hou Ye has already decided. Did Master Hou say that everyone should talk about it? Everyone stood up against it, is this a respect for Lord Hou, a respect for my father? ”

"The second young master is too worried, where are we disrespectful to the Hou Ye, nor are we disrespectful to the late master. I just think this matter is too important, please think about it more. ”

"It's not a matter of worrying too much, I am Lin Yun, the housekeeper of the master's mansion, and the master repeatedly told him before his death that Zhao Lingwu, a closed disciple of his old man's family, should inherit the position of master. The master's bones are not cold, are you going to deny his decision? Unless Master Hou has other arrangements, we will never agree. ”

"Okay, this matter was decided by me and the master a few years ago, so there is no need to dispute it. Lingwu, don't shirk either, don't you listen to your grandfather's arrangement? Come up and accept the master's seal," Long Weihou stopped everyone's argument and made a final decision.

Lingwu couldn't refuse, so he had to walk up the steps and take the master seal with both hands. Hou Ye invited him to sit on the stage and accept everyone's congratulations.

After the congratulations, Long Weihou continued to speak: "Although the master is young, he has experienced the Hongning slave rebellion and the battle of the southern expedition of the barbarians, and his knowledge is extraordinary. Gifted, with excellent spiritual sense, a rare spiritual warrior in the world, he is a rare pillar of my country. Everyone must not be lazy, our generation is getting old, and Hou Guo will have to rely on young people like Lingwu in the future. I have already considered it mature, from now on, the affairs of the Hou Mansion will be mostly taken care of by Ji Longchuan, and he will be canonized as my heir. Recently, there have been a lot of things, so everyone has dispersed and gone about their own business. ”

It was already evening when the meeting ended, and Lingwu returned to the master's mansion with a heavy heart. This night is destined to be another sleepless night.

On the house of the three young masters, Ji Longshan, the lights were not extinguished all night. Ji Longshan walked around the room, and there were many people sitting inside.

"Young master, this Lingwu is just a small child, and he has become a master by virtue of being a spiritual warrior, under the Hou Ye alone, and above everyone. What's going on? ”

"We don't accept it, Lao Tzu has been a real knife and a real gun for so many years, and we still have to listen to his orders from a stinky child, why?"

"The most infuriating thing is, why does he occupy so many good places, and what credit does he have?"

Ji Longshan looked at everyone: "What are you dissatisfied with?" Lao Tzu is also the son of his father, right? Running from north to south, that's good. The three southern mansions suddenly became the second brother, and finally the Jiangling Mansion became vacant. I thought that as long as Jiangling gave it to me, my way to the west would be opened, and this time it would be given to Lingwu, and I was busy in vain. My father always said that spiritual people are rare, rare. Alas! ”

"The young master doesn't have to be discouraged, I think most of the people who are dissatisfied today are unconvinced, and what will happen next is unpredictable. When you become a master, you may not be able to listen to his orders, and if you seal Jiangling Mansion, you will definitely be able to control it? It's hard for me to say. ”

The residence of the Great and Young Lord.

"Congratulations, my lord, I have finally been canonized as the heir of Lord Hou."

"Alas, what's so gratifying, the second child got the land of Sanfu, and I got a false name." Ji Longchuan shook his head.

"Lord Shizi, we should change our name. Lord Shizi's words are wrong, how can this be a false name? It is logical to inherit the position of the marquis. In the past few years of the Southern Expedition, you have practiced hard, we have all seen it, don't you also say that the breakthrough is only in the morning and night? It's just that I wondered, why did the Hou Ye have to give the Jiangling Mansion to the master? Since you have been canonized as the son of the world, why not give it to you to strengthen the power of the heir? ”

"I heard that it was decided in Nanling, and the Hou Ye read Zhang Rulong's love, and Lingwu took care of Zhang Rulong's family."

"What I heard is different from what you said, it is said that it is because Hou Ye and Master Zhang have an agreement, and the heirs of Hou Ye and Master Zhang are determined separately but must support each other. The master chose Lingwu, and the Hou Ye waited for a long time to determine the young master. The master's mansion supports us unconditionally, although the second young master has gained territory, but people have gotten far to the south. ”

"It's hard to say about this matter, I think this master's position is a false name, and the current master's mansion is not the time for Master Zhang. Jiangling and the three southern mansions were originally the territory of the master's mansion, and now the three southern mansions have all let the Hou Ye be given to the second young master, maybe the Hou Ye also has the intention of weakening the master's mansion. Even Gangneung Mansion is not so easy to control, let's see, there is a good show to watch. I'm afraid that it's not the Master's Mansion that supports us, but that we want to help them. ”

Master's House.

Lin Yun and Lin Zhi, father and son, sat opposite each other, relatively speechless. Half a day later, Lin Zhi opened his mouth and said, "Father, the master is gone, the affairs of this house are difficult." The pattern of the Hou Kingdom has changed a lot, what should we do? ”

"What do you think is the current landscape? What's changed? ”

"The Master's Mansion has lost its soul, and it is inevitable that it will be weak. Now that Hou Ye has given the Southern Three Prefectures to Ji Longhai, our strength has been greatly weakened. ”

"Not necessarily, right? You've been with Lingwu for so many years, how do you feel about him? ”

"The talent for cultivation is indeed amazing, he is a great spirit warrior at such a young age, and he is stronger than Master Zhang in this regard. He is also very good to people, and in general he has a lot of trust in me and General Wei. It's just that I'm a little impulsive to do things, I don't know how powerful things are, and I'm too reckless. ”

"Oh? I've never heard of that, reckless? What's going on recklessly? Lin Zhi, you say be a little more detailed. ”

"Recently, I found out two things, which are really scary, and I want to tell my father. He made up a knife technique himself and taught it to his slaves. We didn't know it at first, thinking that it was just a general fighting method, and we didn't pay attention to it. General Wei is an expert, and recently discovered that this sword technique actually has the effect of attracting qi into Xiu, and many of his slaves have the equivalent of martial arts of samurai. That's not all, he lent land to those meritorious slaves in Jiachuan, and returned the slaves to their families, whose families had food, tools, and land. It's just that he hands over some of the grain at harvest time each season, and he doesn't care about anything, and he still can't eat enough food, which is strange to me. The soldiers under him do not farm the land, they practice martial arts every day, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. You say that such a thing spreads, then it is still necessary, slaves are the commanders, slaves have land, isn't this upside down? ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Lin Yun stood up all of a sudden, pacing back and forth in the room.

"It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes."

Lin Yun was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he said, "If it's just that his cultivation talent is extraordinary, I can only say that he is very promising." Hearing you say this, I really have to look at him differently, his cultivation is not ordinary, and his work is not ordinary. What others dare not do, he dares, it's not easy. How many such fighters does he have? ”

"About 40,000. It seems to be increasing rapidly. ”

"Lin Zhi, you are usually very smart, but there are some truths that you don't want to pass. First, what does this world depend on to survive? Second, what is yourself? What are our father and son? If it weren't for Master Zhang, my father and son would be slaves. Because the master is good to us, we are still alive and well, and the master is the benefactor of my Lin family. Don't think about it, we must do the master's dying instructions, we have no other way, even if we have me, we will not go. What happened to the slaves? Can't they have a home or a land? What does this world depend on? Two words: force. I heard that Ji Longhai suggested that the three southern mansions be given to Lingwu at that time, but the Hou Ye did not agree, but instead gave it to the second young master, which is killing two birds with one stone. While weakening the power of the Master's Mansion, he also brought the second child to the south, and Master Zhang did not dare to do this when Master Zhang was there. Now the Hou Mansion is dominant, with the third child in the east, the second child in the south, and the boss in the north. Our master's mansion is near Shuanglong City, and there is still Hou Ye staring at it here. Hou Ye wants to use Lingwu and guard against it. In fact, I was not optimistic about Lingwu, but I just bowed down to Hou Ye. Listening to you, I still have some expectations for him, there are extraordinary people in extraordinary times. Son, we are neither spiritual warriors nor have any talent for martial arts, and we can reach such a position because of wisdom and loyalty, these two things must not be lost, otherwise there will be no place to bury us. You should think about it in the future, and now come with me to congratulate the master. ”
