Chapter 137: The Two Great Families of Heigang
Heigang City is one of the best mansions in the entire Heigang City, and it is in the mansion of the Barrick family, one of the two major families of the Heigang Principality.
In the mansion, in a quiet place, nearly ten people sat opposite each other.
One of the more dignified-looking old men spoke, "Hasn't the Tenth Elder come back yet, and the clansman who went to look for the Tenth Elder?"
An old man sitting at the end bowed down and said, "Yes, Great Elder, the Ten Elders have not returned yet; The man who looked for the Ten Elders did not come back either."
"Hmph, this guy, just broke through to the Magister, he went out to wander around, and came back to see that I didn't teach him, and so did that clansman", the old man who was called the Great Elder looked angry when he heard this.
When the middle-aged man next to the Great Elder heard this, he smiled and said, "Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle has just broken through, he is in a good mood, and it is okay to go out for a spin, as for that clansman, I will punish him."
Hearing this, the Great Elder's face looked a little better.
The Barrick family, with ten elders at the top, and the head of the family. As one of the two largest families in a country, the Barrick family is divided into the main vein and the branch line.
The main vein is the vein of the head of the family, but there are many branch veins.
There are rules in the Barrick family that as long as you become an eighth-order professional, you can become a family elder, so the Barrick family has at least ten eighth-order professionals.
Of the ten elders, six are from the branch line, and four are from the independent line, that is, the head of the family. Among them, the Great Elder, the Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Ten Elders are from the main lineage. These four people are the four uncles of the patriarch of the Barrick family today.
The patriarch of the Barrick family, Thale Barrick, looked at the elders of the family and said, "Today, I have gathered everyone together to talk about what happened in the Duchy of (Heigang) during this time."
"According to family intelligence, the neighboring country to the east of the principality, the principality of Elt, is about to move again, and His Majesty has transferred the Black Shark Legion from the north to the east of the principality."
"What's more, a few days ago, Amber Town in the north of the Principality was occupied by a mysterious family called the Yanhuang Clan, because the Lord of Amber Town framed the Yanhuang Clan, a clansman named Xiao Yao. According to the family's information, the lord of Amber Town did collude with the South Gate family of Amber Town to frame a Yanhuang clan named Xiao Yao, and almost killed this Yanhuang clan named Xiao Yao."
"Your Majesty refuses to give up Amber Town for the sake of face, and has ordered the general of Lourdas City to exterminate the Yanhuang clan, but the result does not seem to be so optimistic."
Seeing that Thaler Barrick had finished speaking, the Grand Elder said, "The head of the house has already told everything, so let us tell us what you think."
After a while, no one spoke. Seeing that no one spoke, the Great Elder spoke, "Since you don't say anything, then let me tell you what I think."
"Looking at the current situation, there is a high probability that war will break out. I believe that the children of the family should be arranged to join the army, firstly, to experience the children of these families, and secondly, if the war really breaks out, the children of our Barrick family can earn a certain amount of military merit in order to hold some important positions in the court and stabilize the position of our Barrick family in the principality."
When the elders below heard this, their eyes lit up, and they thought in their hearts: If their juniors can hold important positions in the court, then their status in the family will definitely improve.
Thinking of this, these elders were all thinking about letting their junior join the army. If you don't have a good relationship with yourself, you definitely can't, and if you don't have the ability, you can't do it............
"Cough, cough~", seeing this, Thaler Barrick coughed twice, focused everyone's attention, and said, "Do you agree with the Great Elder's proposal?"
"Agree, agree",
“............”,
When the elders below heard this, they all spoke up in agreement.
"Since all the elders agree, then each of the elders will recommend two people, and the day after tomorrow they will compete in the family martial arts field and get the top three, I will ask Your Majesty to leave them an official position in the army." The choice of the elders was expected by Thaler Barrick.
This was originally in the calculations of Thaler Barrick. Every once in a while, the family will arrange for several family children to enter the army to fight for the interests of the family.
And this practice, the emperor of the Heigang Principality also acquiesced.
The meeting dispersed, leaving behind the Grand Elder and the Patriarch.
"What an eventful time," said Thaler Barrick, looking at the departing elders.
After Thaler Barrick finished speaking, the Grand Elder's gaze looked into the distance and whispered, "It is indeed an eventful time."
Following the direction of the Great Elder's gaze, on the other side of Heigang City, a mansion that was not inferior to the Barrick family appeared in view.
This mansion, in front of the gate, on the hanging plaque, Temples House, four golden characters, dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, vigorous and powerful.
This is the Demps family, one of the two major families of the Heigang Principality. In the temple of the Demps family, an old man and a middle-aged man were talking about something.
"Dick, haven't you sent back any news yet?", the old man said with a little worry in his tone.
Dick Demps shook his head, "Father, there's no news."
The old man frowned, "Will the person you sent out escape with the treasure map?"
"No," said Dick Demps categorically, and in the dark darkness of the old man's doubts, he continued, "that man is a confidant I have cultivated since childhood, and will not betray me." What's more, I didn't tell him what the picture was for. The most important thing is that his parents are in my hands, and he does not dare to escape with the treasure map."
After listening to Dick Temple's words, the old man muttered, "Is there something wrong?"

Amber Town, Yaodi looked at the information coming from the base, a little surprised. On the side of the Heigang Principality, thirty-three soldiers were mobilized at one time, and there were many masters among them.
According to the original guess, the number of Heigang soldiers who came to clear out himself and others should be slowly increasing, but now it seems that the Heigang side is preparing to wipe themselves out at one time.
Looking at the information from the base, Yaodi calculated. Now, on their own side, the soldiers of the first-order base have created twenty warbands, and with the addition of the six warbands created before, there are now twenty-six first-order warbands. It's time to have a big fight with each other.
On the side of the base, the first-order soldiers who joined the battle were more than 160,000 more than the Heigang Principality, the second-order soldiers were more than 10,000 fewer than the Heigang Principality, the third-order soldiers were more than 2,000 fewer than the Heigang Principality, the fourth-order soldiers were more than 800 fewer than the Heigang Principality, the fifth-order soldiers were more than 80 more than the Heigang Principality, and the sixth-order soldiers were ten more than the Heigang Principality. Seventh-order soldiers, there is no one on the base side for the time being, and one on the side of the Heigang Principality.
The sixth-order base soldiers, Yao Di doesn't plan to take them all out, he wants to hide some of his strength.
Looking at the war data, Yao Di shook his head, the main force of this war was all on the soldiers of the first-order base. Victory or defeat depends on the soldiers of the first-order base.
After thinking about it, Yao Di mobilized five more first-order battle groups to go to the pass. The first-order war group at the pass reached as many as ten.
Looking at the information obtained by the soldiers at the front base, Yaodi was also happy. Judging from the intelligence, it seems that the Heigang soldiers have no intention of attacking. The longer the time drags on, the more first-order base soldiers there will be, and the more beneficial it will be for the base soldiers.
The detection of the base can only know the strength of the opponent and the location. Therefore, Yao Di sent the base soldiers to monitor the camp of the Heigang soldiers every moment to see what the Heigang soldiers were doing, so as to speculate what the Heigang soldiers would do next.
