Chapter 267: The Clan's Saying

After another three or four days, after the cloud boat returned again and picked up more than 2,000 people, Jiang Xijun's team and the other three teams finally met.

They are also all abducted from the mining area by the Jiang family, but Jiang Xijun planned carefully and insisted on not putting their eggs in one basket, arranging them on other roads and migrating in batches. This is also the reason why the Jiang family sent a total of twelve cloud ships, but only three or four appeared in front of everyone each time.

At this time, most of them were sent away by the cloud boat, the number of people decreased, and the target became smaller, so they converged here and marched towards Qingfu City together.

The mine where these three teams are located is obviously not as big as the mine where Chen An is located, or the children of the Jiang family who are in charge of the affairs of the other side are not as many as Jiang Luhan, so there are not many people who come to the scareless, plus the several transportation of the cloud boat, at this time, there are only a few hundred people, and there are only two or three thousand people, which cannot be compared with the team of more than 4,000 people led by Jiang Luhan.

But after the four teams converged, the number of people reached nearly 10,000 again, and Jiang Luhan and other organizers were busy again. The situation was not alleviated until the fourth return of the cloud boat. This time, the twelve cloud ships went out together to eat more than 7,000 people, and there were less than 1,000 people left, and they really couldn't fit into the cloud ships, so they were left in the last batch, waiting for the fifth return of the cloud ships.

This time, Jiang Luhan also existed in the list of returning to the city, not because he traveled a hundred miles and half ninety, but because it was not enough to transport everyone back to the city, he still had to settle and feed, which was the most troublesome thing. These more than 40,000 people are just a population, and if we want to turn all of them into combat force and labor, we still need to integrate them little by little, and I am afraid that we will not have half a year to make meritorious contributions.

Nine out of ten of the entire team of criminals had been transported back, and the issue of resettlement was immediately put on the agenda. Jiang Luhan's status in the Jiang family is not low, and he is very capable, and it is the best candidate to go back and lead the children of the Jiang family to appease the criminals. The two old men who had been following Jiang Xijun earlier also returned first, the Jiang family's manpower was extremely tight, and Jiang Luhan had nothing to delay.

It's just that Jiang Xijun still asked to stay, and the reason is very simple.

Most of the young people among the criminals were sent away when the cloud boat returned in the previous few times, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were basically dead when they were in the mining area, leaving the women, children and children in the team. Now in this team of less than 1,000 people, except for the children of the Jiang family who have been guarding Jiang Xijun's side, they are the newcomers who are ready to join the Jiang family's camp among Chen An and other criminals.

As the lord, only by sharing weal and woe with the warriors can we accept their people and hearts. Jiang Xijun, as the head of the Jiang family, how could she leave them and go first. Moreover, this place is already very close to Qingfu City, and it only takes about a day for the cloud boat to go back and forth, and it is not too late to go again tomorrow at this time.

Everyone has now arrived in the area of the Twelve Cities, it is almost impossible for the Yong'an Army on Taiyi Pass to chase after them, and the other families are also busy counting and digesting the huge harvest this time, so they have no time to calculate them, as long as they are careful to avoid the activity area of the Inhumans and Ancient Beasts, even if there is no cloud ship, they can return to Qingfu City safely all the way.

Therefore, Jiang Xijun and Jiang Luhan argued for a long time before they compromised, but he was still not at ease, and it was not until Jiang Xijun agreed to keep Jiang Qiu by his side to escort him before gritting his teeth and getting on the boat.

After sending Jiang Luhan away, looking at the cloud boat that was gradually moving away, Jiang Xijun breathed a sigh of relief gently, she had a temperament in her two decades and jumped out again, there were always elders watching from the side, quite uncomfortable, and now she was only left with herself, and suddenly there was a sense of relaxation that had not been seen for a long time.

She was originally the first of the Jiang family's lineage, a sister married early, two brothers died in battle, and the only younger brother also died unfortunately, the rise and fall of the entire Jiang family fell on her immature shoulders, and she pretended to be mature and stable on weekdays, mostly for the hearts of the elders and the children of the Jiang family, because if she had an accident, the hearts of the Jiang family would be scattered.

The family of Donghuang is not the same as the family of Daqian, the seventeenth family is inherited by blood, the lineage is dead, and the family name can be inherited from the concubine, at most two or three generations of decline, it may not be able to rise again. In Donghuang, the same surname Jiang Ke may not be a family, and even the bloodline inheritance is completely different.

Because the ancient surname is still retained in the local city of the Eastern Wilderness, taking Qingfu City as an example.

Qingfu City was originally called Jiangcheng, and the entire vast area around it is also called Jiangdi, so the local residents who live here are all surnamed Jiang, but they belong to different clans. There are two largest clans in Qingfu City, which almost dominate the direction of the entire Qingfu City, one is the Qingyang clan, the other is the Gaoyang clan, and Jiang Xijun is the lord of the Gaoyang clan. If you follow the full name of her surname, she should be named Jiang Gaoyang Xijun.

The clan represents a kind of inheritance, which is not purely linked by blood, but supplemented by common customs, a common culture. If Chen An follows the customs of the Gao Yang clan, learns the culture of the Gao Yang clan, and inherits the spirit of the Gao Yang clan, then he will be considered a member of the Gao Yang clan, and his title will also be changed, and his name will be retained, and the clan will be added in the middle, and he will be Jun Gao Yang Yueyi.

Of course, this is the case in theory, but in fact, for many years, the Twelve Cities have suffered from the cultural invasion of the Central Dynasty, and they have long been less elaborate, but the practice of using cultural customs as the inheritance link is still retained. Jiang Xijun, as the lord of the Gaoyang clan of Qingfu City, if there is an accident, it is equivalent to the heir of the main line. The entire Gao Yang clan theoretically has the right to inherit, including even newcomers like Chen An, who live in Jiang Land.

To put it simply, the Central Dynasty is inherited by surname, and the Eastern Wilderness is inherited by the clan, according to the inheritance method of the Central Dynasty, only those with the surname Jiang have the right to inherit, and according to the inheritance method of the Eastern Wilderness, no matter what your surname is, as long as it is the Gaoyang clan, you have the right to inherit.

This method can indeed ensure that the clan will not be destroyed, but once the main lineage is extinct, a bloody battle cannot be avoided in the clan.

It is very likely that it is not a matter of establishing inheritance rights, but that everyone is dissatisfied with each other and has become independent, and the Gaoyang clan has fallen apart, which is how some of the declining small clans in Qingfu City came about. This is also the reason why the elder of the Gao Yang clan is so concerned about Jiang Xijun, because she is the only seedling of the lineage.

At this time, Jiang Xijun had no monitoring by the elders inside, no hidden dangers of hostile forces outside, and the long-lost breath of freedom came to her face, making her whole person with a bit of bright color. She turned around lightly and looked at Jiang Qiu behind her, as well as the maid Jiang Xinyue, and ...... Chen An.

Yes, Chen An hasn't left yet, the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, he had the intention to follow Jiang Luhan, after all, the Eastern Wilderness is so dangerous, it is safer in the city. But who called Jiang Xijun to stay, since he wants to use the power of the Gaoyang clan, of course he must quickly integrate into it.

And how to quickly integrate into an organization? Of course, it is to protect the king, even if nothing happens in the end, there is such a journey of friendship, and many things will be easy to say in the future. So he gritted his teeth and asked to stay, and in the end, he even received Jiang Luhan's appreciative eyes.

Jiang Xijun only enjoyed a moment of freedom, then remembered her responsibility again, she waved at everyone and said, "Everyone work harder, and strive to rush to the next node at sunrise tomorrow, so that you can get on the returning cloud boat and return to Qingfu City." ”

This time, her biggest thing was to arrange a lot of nodes for the cloud boat to respond, so that the cloud boat went back and forth a few times to bring all the huge people back to Qingfu City, not only high efficiency, but also only a dozen people who were damaged, and most of them were eroded by the bloody yin gang and collapsed to the ground.

Don't look at this kind of calculation is simple, in fact, the research of the map in the early stage, the survey of the actual terrain is where the real effort lies, and she has been operating for a whole year for this project. But this is also worth it, because the success of this plan means that Qingfu City, which has had a negative population growth for so many years, will usher in a rapid development, and if the Qingyang clan can also succeed, it can almost completely make up for the lack of population in Qingfu City.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xijun looked forward to this competitor of her own for the first time in her life, after all, if the population of Qingfu City could increase, both families would benefit.

There was nothing to say all the way, and everyone worked hard to hurry. Jiang Xijun is still very calm at this point, she did not get carried away because the action was about to succeed, although there was a momentary emotional release when Jiang Luhan left, but she quickly adjusted, continued to calm down, and led everyone to hurry carefully.

Chen watched quietly, and his strong heart made him throw away his memories of Sister Qing when he first met Jiang Xijun, and he could examine her with the most objective attitude.

A leader who can always stay calm and clear-headed is a blessing for an organization.

And Jiang Xijun's actions, everything has something that can be praised, these days of getting along, so that he has a very high opinion of Jiang Xijun, and his ability to deal with things is as good as his ability to make decisions at critical moments, this is the performance of the high pattern, and to make such a huge plan, the key is to connect every node just right, this wisdom and vision ability also made Chen Anxin feel uncomfortable.

With such a leader, he also let go of the idea of going to Qingfu City to make another choice. Chen An is indeed a clear grievance, but it has not yet reached the point of selling himself for a nine-grade soul card, the good bird chooses the wood to perch, if the other party is not the master, he has no need to waste time on the other party, after all, what he wants is a help that can return to Taiyiguan, not a piece of mud that can't support the wall.

Thinking about it like this, night slowly fell. Everyone set up camp, Jiang Xijun inspected the entire camp first, regardless of luck, and if there were any inappropriate people, they immediately issued a clear spirit to suppress the erosion of evil qi for them, and returned to the middle camp to rest very late.

In this unpredictable environment, it has always been impossible for Chen An to fall asleep, and when he saw Jiang Xijun walk into the camp, his figure disappeared into the darkness again.

The night was as calm as ever, until the next day, when two cloud ships appeared in the distant sky.
