The next day, early in the morning.

The residual aftertaste of the Long family banquet is still lingering, indeed, this is expected by everyone, the two marriage contracts represent the meaning of two different paths to the same end, the peak young man of the Long family who was once the unbeatable martial artist, and the first person in the young martial arts of the Long family. And from the current first person of the younger generation of the Long family, three different ring matches were introduced.

Antique, vicissitudes of life, but it does not have the kind of gold and brilliance that attracts attention, gold fans are drunk, it is such an ordinary hut, raise your head, a slightly bewitching plaque hangs in the middle of the eaves.

The familiar scene, accompanied by several familiar characters, is none other than the Long family, the conference room.

"Let's talk about the three ring matches made by the Xiao family, what is the intention?" said Long Zhan, who was in the upper position.

Raising his eyelids, which were heavy from sleepless all night, Long Tan looked at Long Zhan, bypassed this question, and said in a deep voice: "Last night, not long after Xiao Yuanyue left, the old man suddenly got a very important piece of information. ”

"What. ”

Long Tan didn't pay attention to who asked the question, and replied directly: "City Lord's Mansion, my channel has sent a message that the City Lord's Mansion gave the Xiao family a secret instruction yesterday, and it is said that in front of the Xiao family, the Bran family also received instructions. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and the silence that pressed the nerves could be heard when a pin dropped.

The rest of the elder-level figures, including the patriarch Long Zhan, no one doubted the authenticity of the news given by Long Tan, the Long family, this is the situation now, most of the rights belonging to the patriarch have long been hollowed out, for example, the family shadow guard, the family shadow department, and so on.

"The City Lord's Mansion... The City Lord's Mansion move... What is it...... Meaning. Elder Long Yi's voice was a little dry, like an unpleasant timbre from a throat that had not been moistened by water for a long time, "Also, what is the instruction from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Long Tan shook his head and said, "The news is very tightly blocked over there, and my people have worked hard, and the news transmitted is only to this extent." ”

Long Yan couldn't think of any exquisite tricks, so naturally he couldn't make a proper evaluation of the current situation, and when he was bored, suddenly, he roared and scolded: "Fuck, the little cubs of the Xiao family, all of them should be sent outside to sell their butts." ”

Long Tan's face darkened, and his eyes stared at him.

Long Yan had no choice but to smile, scratch his head, and pretend to be embarrassed.

"According to the analysis of this information, I am afraid that the City Lord's Mansion will also exclude my Long Clan from the "Three Great Families". Long Yu's face was calm, his tone was natural, and he couldn't see any emotional ups and downs, "This is really not a message that makes people happy." “

"It's just a title, let it be said outside!Anyway, it doesn't matter the overall situation, in short, let's not bother ourselves, it's fine, compared to this, the secret instructions of the City Lord's Mansion are more important. Long Yi said.

"It's important, it's important, it's just that sitting here and there's nowhere to know. ”

Long Tan took over the conversation and said, "Even if you go out, it won't help, the core of this news is very tightly blocked, and there is nowhere to investigate." ”

Seeing this, Long Zhan waved his hand slightly and said, "Stop, stop, it's far away from the topic, stop, don't forget today's main topic." ”

The atmosphere condensed again, several elders who held the rights of the family, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other, looking at each other, no one was willing to speak first, even the elders of Longtan were speculating, and they were unwilling to talk about the issues in Long Zhan's mouth.

The center of the Long family's meeting of elders today is the Xiao family's list of participants in the ring competition, and the first topic that Long Zhan raised was naturally to throw bricks and lead jade, wanting to take this opportunity to start smoothly, how can it be, Longtan suddenly arrived at a blockbuster information related to the current situation, whether it was intentional or unintentional, there is no way to verify, maybe it was really unintentional, after all, in the face of the aggressive Xiao Yuanyue last night, Long Tan, and Long Yan did not have the heart to watch the fire from the other side.

Long Zhan felt the silent silence like silence, and sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "With his own talents, taking on the great responsibility of the Long Clan in the wind and rain is really some... Where's the taste of the best?"

Since as the patriarch, there is still a dragon battle that should be in charge, and he said at the moment: "Everyone, no matter what plans the City Lord's Mansion has, since we have not been notified of our intentions, our clan does not need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources for this. Long Zhan suddenly sneered in his heart: "Elder Long Yi, why did you suddenly fall silent today for the sake of your precious granddaughter? What about your momentum last night?"

"I think the patriarch's words are very reasonable, the City Lord's Mansion is unwilling to join forces with us, and we don't need to give him a smile on the City Lord's Mansion. Long Yan was very willful and said the heartfelt words that were suffocated in his heart.

Long Tan has hit him at this moment, who is sitting here does not know, the true meaning contained in Long Zhan's words is not the so-called City Lord's Mansion on the surface at all, it is just a reminder, a reminder to remind a few elders to return to the topic.

However, when it came to Long Yan's ears, he actually heard this meaning, and he didn't give the city lord's mansion a smile, Long Tan suddenly "admired" Long Yan's courage when he said this, I really don't know where his confidence came from.

City Lord's Mansion, Duolun City's extremely special existence, mysterious and unknown, the local residents have always classified the power level of the City Lord's Mansion as the level of the "three families", even if it is strong, it is only beyond the first line, in the final analysis, half a catty and eight taels, the work / strength is just the enemy, but this is just a statement that the locals use falsehood, do not distinguish the truth, and are ignorant.

"Ahem. ”

After Long Tan made a sound, several elders focused their attention on him, naturally ignoring Long Yan's wild words, after all, Long Yan's similar actions or remarks had long been commonplace, and it was impossible for them to be touched by their hearts anymore.

"Several, Long Shixin is the first martial artist of my young generation of the Long clan, the importance of the ring competition is self-evident, as for the conspiracy of the Xiao family, you must all see it clearly, so you must stop it. ”

Long Yu thought about it, but still spoke, and said: "The Xiao family wants to slowly consume my Long clan, I have to say, this step is indeed ruthless and to the point. ”

Listening to the discussion between the two of them, Elder Long Yi also put away the scruples in his heart and joined the discussion, in fact, this kind of situation is what Long Yi really wants.

"Whether it is the Xiao family or the Bran family, they all know that as long as we give the young juniors of the Long Clan enough time to grow up, the two of them will not have a chance to win. ”

"That's why the Xiao family and the Bran family have so many small actions. Long Zhan raised his head and looked upwards and said, "Everyone, since a consensus has been reached, I hope to work together to face a strong enemy." ”

Long Zhan's eyes glanced at the ceiling from beginning to end, and he didn't make eye contact with several elders, because he wasn't sure what was going on in the hearts of these people in front of him, and he couldn't figure out the personalities of several of them, although they had worked together for several years, they had to admit that this was a failure point that could not be covered as a patriarch.

Elder Long Yu's heart suddenly fluttered, Long Zhan's seemingly unintentional but high-sounding words, in fact, he wanted a few people to express their attitude, and now, the three forces representing the family, the actual controllers were all present.

The neutral dragon jade, the opposing Long Yi and Long Tan.

Long Yi is no longer thinking about it at the moment, but he can't scruple about anything at the moment, Long Shixin is his most outstanding descendant, and he must not afford to lose.

"Patriarch, three ring matches, the first one, the old man recommended one person, Long Youran. ”

Long Zhan's eyes gradually became happy, and he nodded at Long Yi, meaning to agree.

This time Long Zhan successfully concealed the thoughts in his heart, at this moment Long Zhan, his heart was filled with not the so-called joy at all, on the contrary, this man had a monstrous anger in his heart, of course, more helplessness about not being able to control the situation, and self-deprecation at the end.

If you were to be the previous patriarch of the family, would you need repeated temptations and guidance in the face of today's issues? Originally, this was the choice of the patriarch alone, and the family elders only had the right to make suggestions, but what about the reality?

The roles are completely reversed, and the person sitting in the patriarch's position has become a useless ornament, and the real authority is in the hands of these people in front of him, especially Long Tan, who holds the shadow guard in his hand and the control of the dark department, and in the Long clan is simply powerful, as if he has become the actual controller of the family.

"Long leisurely" Long Yu muttered silently in his heart.

Long Youran, in the vein of Long Yi, except for the two brothers and sisters of Long Shixin, they are the most eye-catching clansmen, they are young, and their perception of martial arts is not weak at all, mainly because Long Youran is less than sixteen years old, fully qualified for entering the ring, and is also one of the most suitable candidates for the entire family.

Long Yu didn't know why, and remembered the long conversation with Long Zhan in the study before, "Okay, in that case, the old man also recommends a clansman who is suitable for the ring competition." ”

Long Yi was immediately grateful, and he also understood the meaning behind the word "recommendation", that is, Elder Long Yu, the main controller of the neutral line, agreed to the right clan to fight.

At present, the Long family is divided into three forces, which are already well known, and even outside the family, in order to distinguish them, they are deliberately classified into distinct schools, namely the gentle line of the Long family led by Long Yi, the neutral line controlled by Long Yu, and finally, the radical faction in the hands of Long Tan. The three forces have always ignored the orders of the patriarch, and they are only subject to their respective elders.

"The right clansman, is Long Shengpiy?" Elder Long Yi asked cautiously with a hint of longing on his face, at this time, the old man's family affection stemming from the blood gradually appeared.

Long Yu nodded.

Not only Long Yi, but Long Zhan was also infected by this, and became a little interested, and even looked forward to three ring matches.

Now, the clansmen sent in the first two battles have reached the expectations in Long Zhan's heart, and even said that they exceeded expectations, it is not impossible, Long Youran, Long Shenglian and the two have just turned sixteen years old, although their talents are not as good as Long Shixin, Long Ming and others, but they can also be called dragons and phoenixes among people.

With these two people, the victory or defeat of the two Long Xiao ring matches is enough to compete, and at that time, who will kill the deer?

Don't know yet?

Elder Longtan's eyes were lowered, his eyes were slightly closed, and he sat quietly on one side, without saying a word, without saying a word.

Long Yan was beside him, his expression was faintly unnatural, regardless of the details, his nerves were as big as him, and he also saw the situation in front of him, only Long Tan made a statement.

The power of the Long family is divided into many branches, and the one line controlled by Long Tan, although the comprehensive strength of the shadow guard and the shadow department far exceeds that of any of the clans, but it can't blatantly oppose the union of all branches in the clan!

No matter how complex the forces within the clan are, how shocking they are? There is one thing, undeniable, they are all members of the Dragon Clan, a bloodline.

There is another factor, no matter how strong the power in Long Tan's hands is, he is never the patriarch, he is never the respect of the clan, he is too maverick, and it is really unjustifiable.

During the meditation, Long Tan suddenly smiled, and then raised his head and said, "This is very good, and the old man also recommends one." ”

"Who?" asked Long Zhan.

Long Tan smiled again, "In short, it won't be inferior to the two of them, as for who it is? Let's keep a sense of mystery! After all, is it the third game? Of course, leisurely, merciful two, strong strength, there is still a great possibility, there is no need for the third game." ”

Long Zhan didn't know the exact information, and he didn't get angry, but just said softly, "I hope so." ”

Long Yi and Long Yu raised their eyebrows, and a trace of displeasure flashed, but they didn't say anything.

After everyone left, Long Zhan was alone in the council room, looking outside from afar, staring quietly, a round of red sun in the distant sky, rising from the east, and suddenly said a word.

"In this ring match, I always feel that something is wrong there? ”
