"And the Dongfang family is in charge of the Nansheng army. It is the second of the four major families, and his status in Nansheng is very special, even the Sima family does not dare to underestimate it, his words are very weighty. ”

"Although Dongfang Yuansong protects me, the Dongfang family may not protect me, right?" Long Feitian said suspiciously, he knew better than anyone else the complexities in the big family, and they were not monolithic.

"You're wrong. Bao Yi said: "The Dongfang family is different from other families, the number of Dongfang families is the smallest among the four major families, even the martial emperor masters are less than other families, simply speaking of the surface strength of the family, they are weaker than the Wu family at the end, but why are they ranked second among the four major families?"

"Because it is stipulated in their family that every male who can cultivate, regardless of whether he is a descendant or a side line, must enter the army to experience, and he must also make military merits before he can quit, which makes many clansmen die in the war. ”

"But the rest are all the elite of the elite, and the long-term military life has also made their character refreshing, and they don't disdain to play conspiracy for a little power, they only advocate force, which has formed a strange phenomenon in the Dongfang family, the more power people have, the less people want to be, because that will distract a lot of energy and affect cultivation. ”

"Take Dongfang Yuansong as an example, he is the generalissimo of the Nansheng Empire, according to the regulations of the Dongfang family, the generalissimo must become the head of the family, which is to make the Dongfang family more cohesive, after all, the people of the Dongfang family are all from the military, and they have a natural awe of the generalissimo, otherwise he would never be the head of the family. ”

"Therefore, in the Dongfang family, everything the head of the family says, those elders generally will not object, not to mention that this time he still protects you, a promising subordinate, they will not object, in their eyes, the officer is more worthy of respect than us Martial Emperors, and among those old men at that time, there must have been several elders of the Dongfang family, you can see that they have a little bit of opposition on their expressions. ”

After thinking about it, Long Feitian found that except for Sima Nan and the other old man who showed dissatisfied looks towards him, the others didn't seem to have any strange expressions, and even had some appreciation for themselves, and even Yun Jie, who had had a conflict with him, looked at him with some satisfaction.

"I don't think so. Long Feitian said in a deep voice.

"With the intelligence network of the Eastern Family, I'm afraid that they already know everything about you before you come to Gangsuo City, and they have already discussed how to deal with the relationship between you. Bao Yi said with a smile: "It is precisely because of their unity that the Dongfang family makes their family strength inferior to the Yun family and the Wu family, but they suppress them just as much. ”

"But you must not underestimate the Dongfang family, the background of the Dongfang family is very terrifying, and the hidden strength is even stronger than the Zhao family, which ranks first. Bao Yi suddenly said with a serious face: "Although I have rarely walked outside over the years, I still know a little about the situation of the four major families. ”

"Especially the Dongfang family, although there are not many people in their family, each of them is the elite of the elite, this is not only in military command, but also in cultivation talent, and every year there are warriors from the Dongfang family who retreat from the army, but these people will soon disappear from everyone's sight, and the Dongfang family will also say that they are in retreat and cultivation. ”

"And these people are some people with excellent cultivation talents, you calculate, an average of two or three years to hide one, the Martial Emperor can generally live to be one hundred and fifty years old to one hundred and eighty years old, if there is a genius Dibao to extend his life, he will live to two hundred years old, break through the Martial Emperor, reach the Martial Emperor, and live longer, the Dongfang family has existed in Nansheng for nearly a thousand years, longer than the Sima family. ”

"And no matter who is the royal family, they are in charge of the army, and they have always been ranked second in the empire, that is, they are not conspicuous, and they are not backward, can they do this, do you think the Dongfang family is simple?"

"It's not easy. Long Feitian nodded, there must be victory and decline, on this continent, there are countless forces rising every day, and countless once glorious forces are declining or perishing, this is the law of nature, but it is really not simple to maintain a status without changing, the only thing that can be explained is that they themselves have strong strength, but they are not willing to be too obvious, so they have maintained the second position of the four major families has not changed.

"The Dongfang family is because of unity, and the second is because people can't figure out the foundation of their strength, so even the Sima family doesn't dare to offend them, and he Sima Nan alone doesn't dare to offend the Dongfang family. Bao Yi continued: "As for the other person you said who killed you, it should be Wu Zuguang, the sixth elder of the Wu family, because the Zhao family and the Dongfang family have always had a fight, so they did not send people to Gangsuo City to garrison, but sent all the masters to the east where they were in charge. ”

"I don't know much about this Wu Zuguang, I only know that he is a cultivation maniac, most of the year is in retreat, there is very little news about him from the outside world, and now he is not yet seventy years old and he is already a four-star martial emperor. ”

"Oh, it's very talented. Long Feitian couldn't help but admire, it is indeed very good to reach the four-star Martial Emperor in his sixties, take Bao Yi as an example, although he is now a three-star Martial Emperor, he is already nearly eighty, and he can break through the three-star Martial Emperor, or Long Feitian has helped him a lot.

As he spoke, Long Feitian showed a smile on his face, looked at Bao Yi and said, "Bao Lao can know so much news, it seems that you haven't blindly created your combat skills over the years." ”

"Sometimes when I encounter a problem, I walk around and broaden my horizons. Bao Yi said with a smile: "And for these big families and big forces, we scattered cultivators still need to know more, otherwise when we inadvertently provoke them, we will be surrounded and killed by them, and we don't know how to die." ”

Knowing from Bao Yi's mouth that he is safe for the time being, Long Feitian was also relieved, and separated from Bao Yi, he went to find Qiya, for this little princess, Long Feitian still loves it very much, one is her misfortune, and the other is her cute and simple, just like a little sister.

He accompanied Qi Ya until dark, and when she rested, Long Feitian headed towards the barracks.

The barracks was Long Feitian's second visit, the first time was when he set off to assemble last time, but this time he came, it was completely different from before, there was no tense and serious atmosphere, replaced by a deep sadness.

The barracks, which had originally been 2,500 people, now stood there with only about 400 people, and it seemed so sparse in the large barracks, and everyone had a tense face and a look of grief, although there were rare drinks and meat in front of them, but no one was the slightest bit excited.
