One capital, two mansions and four cities, this is the core of the abandoned boat country. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The so-called first- to third-level towns and cities are actually the underlying systems formed by assisting the expansion of the empire, and if the power of the entire imperial center is concentrated, it can only be within these seven capitals.

The four major cities divide the territory of all towns and cities, and the Du family is already a high-ranking existence, and it is only the Vermilion Bird City of Lanhuang that Du Qisheng does not dare to slack off, and the two mansions dominate the four cities, and on the pyramid of power, the status of Zuowen Mansion is completely above the Vermilion Bird City.

It was only at this time that Du Tianwen really understood how terrible She Qiwen's background was.

Du Lun didn't say much else, in his opinion, his great-grandson is not a dull person, one sentence points to the point, with his understanding should not be difficult to know what to do next.

So, he changed the subject: "Wei Mugen...... I'm still with you, aren't we?"

Du Tian was stunned.

"Uncle Gen...... Over the years, he has been guarding by his side, never leaving. ā€

Du Lun nodded, and after a while, he sighed: "It's hard for him...... A high-level capable person who has been by your side all these years is indeed overkill...... But when you become the head of the house, Wei Mugen ...... Alas, I just hope he won't continue to be depressed because of what happened back then......"

Between the words, Du Lun seems to know the roots of Wei Mugen, and the relationship is not simple.

Du Tianwen thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Great-grandfather, when I was ten years old, you asked Uncle Gen to be a guard by my side, and at that time you only told me that he was the son of your old friend...... Now that the grandson is also an adult, I wonder if the great-grandfather can tell the grandson what Uncle Gen went through back then, if there is a place where the grandson can help, it will be regarded as living up to Uncle Gen's care for so many years. ā€

At the beginning, the introduction to the outside world and everyone was actually just a lie to Uncle Gen's life-saving grace, and the one who really sent him to follow Du Tianwen was actually the second-generation head of the family, Du Lun.

Hearing his grandson's question, Du Lun showed a look of reminiscence on his face, looked at Du Tianwen, and finally said slowly.

"Mugen, he's a poor man......"

......

A hundred years ago, when the planning of the second-level towns and cities was initially established, among the 16 first-class towns and cities in the two prefectures and four cities, countless people with ambition and ability rushed out and began the plan to build second-level towns and cities.

At that time, there were too many capable people, nearly a million of them, all of whom were scattered from the city with beautiful dreams, excited and excited, looking forward to the future of meritorious achievements.

However, opening up a town is not as simple as they think.

Of the millions of capable people, there is not one in ten who survives in the end, and Qin Huan and Du Sheng are two of the lucky ones.

They were originally good friends, and when the new decree was promulgated, they took their wives and children all the way south, and began the conquest day after day, year after year.

Because of the good foundation of cultivation, other capable people gradually gathered around them, and in the sacrifice of countless people, a new land was finally opened up, named after their surname, and became their new home.

Qin Du Town was established, and everything was developing step by step, but problems arose at this time.

Greed, lust for power, and jealousy are fatal flaws that human beings are not immune to, and even the deep friendships cultivated in war cannot stop these dark breeding.

After years of fighting, Qin Huan and Du Sheng have long passed the age when they could be entrusted with their backs because of the same dream, and in their hearts, they both began to think about the allocation of resources in Qin Du Town.

With these calculations, the contradictions were gradually stimulated.

Du Lun is Du Sheng's second son, he followed his father to the south, and witnessed the rise of Qin Du Town all the way, but at the same time, he also witnessed the break between the Qin and Du families.

It was only a few years before Qin Du Town was established, and Qin Huan and Du Sheng completely fell out.

The beginning of the rupture was because of the death of Du Sheng's eldest son, Du Yu, who was Du Lun's elder brother.

In a brutal beast encirclement and suppression jointly dispatched by the two families, Du Yu, who was already a minister-level ability, died tragically in the mouth of the brute beast, while Qin Ming, the son of Qin Huan, who went with the Qin family, came back unharmed.

The importance of his eldest son Du Yu made Du Sheng's eyes red from then on, and he insisted that the cause of Du Yu's death was related to Qin Ming.

The dispute between the Qin family and the Du family began in this way.

Because of the contradictions, all kinds of open and secret battles appeared in the town, and in the end, the trouble became bigger and bigger, and other capable people who followed the Qin Du family to open up a new town and city were also involved.

The Wei family and the Li family are two of them.

Initially, both the Wei family and the Li family were friendly with the Du family, and Wei Churong, the father of Du Lun and Wei Mugen, and Li Feitu of the Li family were also extremely good friends, so their sons naturally became friends together.

Wei Mugen, and Li Ran, the son of Li Feitu, were the two proud sons of Qin Du Town at that time, one cultivated the Dao of Heaven, and the other cultivated the Dao of Illusion, both of which were extremely rare types of exercises, and they all broke through the rank of minister at a young age, and they could be described as famous geniuses in the town.

However, the hero was sad about the beauty pass, and a bloody incident happened between the two.

They are in love with the same woman!

Not only that, but this woman is also surnamed Qin!

In this way, the two had various entanglements with Qin Huan's granddaughter Qin Rong, and their relationship with the Du family was estranged until Wei Mugen and Qin Rong got married.

The competition between the two talents seemed to end with Wei Mugen's victory, and Li Ran did not show jealousy, and still maintained a close friend relationship with Wei Mugen, and sent his blessings at the wedding.

A year later, the couple gave birth to a son, named Wei Siran.

Time passed day by day, and his wife was by his side, so that Wei Mugen lived extremely satisfied every day, and even consciously avoided the sight of the Qin and Du families, and raised his son with peace of mind.

However, this kind of life ended after all, and it ended when Wei Siran was nineteen years old.

Once he returned early, Wei Mugen found that his wife, who had been in bed with him for 20 years, was kissing with his best friend!

The anger burned in his mind, making him directly forget all his senses, and immediately fought with Li Ran, who was ashamed.

But halfway through the battle, Wei Mugen found that this friend, who had the same cultivation as him, had completely surpassed himself in his cultivation now, and the two had fought for a full day and a night, and he couldn't help the other party.

In the end, Li Ran forced him back with a palm, turned around and disappeared from in front of him.

After this battle, Wei Mugen's mood changed greatly, and after glancing at his frightened wife, he never returned home, and spent the whole day in the tavern, losing the slightest bit of his original spirit.

The former genius has fallen like this, and has become a madman who is addicted to alcohol, which makes countless people sigh.

However, if things just end here, then there may be no Uncle Gen by Du Tianwen's side.

The depressed time lasted for more than half a year, and the drunken and misty Wei Mugen met Li Ran again.

This encounter was not an accident, but Li Ran took the initiative to find the tavern.

Looking at Wei Mugen's bearded appearance, Li Ran's face was full of shame, and he snatched the wine jar and poured it directly into his mouth, and the jar of wine was instantly bottomed out.

I don't know if it's because he was drunk, in the face of the friend who took his wife, Wei Mugen didn't react at all, and the wine jar was robbed, so he reached out and lifted another jar, stared down at the table, and drank silently with Li Ran.

When all the wine was drunk and Wei Mugen had passed out drunk, Li Ran finally opened his mouth and told the cause and effect of the whole thing in a deep voice.

It turned out that Qin Rong was a sentence set by the Qin family for Wei Mugen and Li Ran from the beginning, the purpose was to use beauty tricks to get them to leave the Du family and defect to the Qin family. But in the pursuit of the two, Qin Rong, a woman, really moved her feelings and fell in love with one of the two.

What she loves is Li Ran.

Once the feelings explode, the process is out of control.

Under Qin Rong's confession, Li Ran quickly learned the truth, and when he thought of his embarrassment because of the Qin family's scheme and his long-term friendship, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, and wanted to mend the friendship with Wei Mugen.

So, he made a decision that he regretted - pushing Qin Rong to Wei Mugen.

The blessings on the wedding are actually not false, but watching the woman he loves become someone else's wife, Li Ran's heart is full of pain.

And although Qin Rong is married to Wei Mugen, her feelings for Li Ran in her heart are undiminished, and every time she looks at him, she can't help but turn into a pool of soft water.

This wordless relationship lasted less than a month, and they could no longer endure it.

On an ordinary night, their feelings erupted in a remote cabin in the town.

But regretful emotions can't drive away Li Ran's guilt, he didn't dare to pick out with Wei Mugen, but while feeling guilty, he maintained a relationship with Qin Rong because of unbearable love.

Soon, their previous incident was seen by the Qin family, and the head of the Qin family at that time not only did not stop it, but seized this handle, making Li Ran a pawn planted by the Qin family in the Du family.

Twenty years have passed, Li Ran has been a betrayer for twenty years, and when he finally saw the scene of his best friend's depression, he also fell into despair because of the self-blame in his heart.

After babbling on what had happened, he left the tavern.

The next day, someone found two bodies in Wei's house, one belonged to Li Ran, and the other was Qin Rong, the two were lying on the ground hand in hand, with two wine glasses left over from venom poured beside them.

The death of the two made Wei Mugen stunned and sat by their cemetery for three days and three nights.

He didn't know what to think, he should obviously be angry at Li Ran's wife's behavior, but there was always a sadness in his heart, so that he couldn't purely hate his former best friend.

In the final analysis, they are just collateral injuries from the dispute between the two Qin and Du families.

Three days later, Wei Mugen no longer wandered around the tavern, but An An bought a small mansion next to his hometown, and lived with his only remaining son.

That year, Wei Mugen was forty-three years old and Wei Siran was nineteen years old.
