In the southwest of Jinghua City, there is a mansion called Moxiangju.

The house is very much the taste of the wealthy gentry in ancient times, antique, all the low houses and small pavilions, it is a typical Chinese classical architectural appearance, covering a wide area, there are Champs pavilions and pavilions in the palace, and there is even an artificial lake, which is about to catch up with the emperor's house. It has to be said that it is a miracle to be able to occupy such a large area in Jinghua City! It is not difficult to see how powerful the owner of this place is!

The style of this low house and small pavilion is still very rare in today's modern city of steel and concrete, and it looks so eye-catching in the midst of those skyscrapers, like a basin seen when you have a bird's-eye view of a country's territory.

The building is low, but it gives people a sense of dignity and abnormality, very chic and unusual.

What others don't know is that the owner of this seemingly extremely luxurious mansion is also extremely high - the head of the four major families in Jinghua, the ancestral residence of the Li family!

Li Jia...... An ancient family that has spanned China for hundreds of years has always been hidden in the world, inconspicuous, but it is impossible for everyone to ignore. It is said that his ancestor is also very brilliant, the genealogy can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, it is said that the ancestor is a very remarkable person, if the description is a little more specific, it is...... An opportunist, an opportunist with a very good vision!

After Hongwu and before Ming Chengzu, during this period, the Ming Dynasty had gone through a relatively weak era, and everything was ...... It's all because the emperor Zhu Yunwen is incompetent! And this ancestor of the Li family rose in that era, and was originally the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, but the object of allegiance was Zhu Di, the king of Yan! The reason is very simple, the king of Yan was eloquent, the emperor at that time was cowardly and timid, the emperor was weak, but the uncle was very strong, and there was really a ghost if he didn't cause trouble to Xiao Wall! And this ancestor of the Li family believed that Zhu Di could succeed, so he secretly served Zhu Di.

The emperor who sat on the throne did not owe allegiance, but ran to be loyal to a prince...... This kind of behavior is difficult to understand!

However, facts have proved that the truth is only in the hands of a few people, and the person who sits on the throne may not be the true dragon emperor! This ancestor of the Li family is a successful opportunist, and he has succeeded...... After the martyrdom of King Yan, Ming Chengzu, who ascended to the throne, was almost the first to promote him.

But this ancestor of the Li family ...... at this time did another thing that made people lose their eyes - he did not accept Ming Chengzu's seal, only accepted Ming Chengzu's reward, resigned from his official position, and returned to the market with the countless wealth given by Ming Chengzu to express his gratitude...... The reason is very simple, from Zhu Di's various methods, the ancestor of the Li family can see it...... This Ming Chengzu is a good emperor, but he is definitely not a good person, like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, he is cold by nature, and it is difficult to have glory and wealth by the side of this kind of person! Perhaps, when he is a very human minister, it is the day when his head falls to the ground!

Therefore, he chose to retreat bravely from the rapids......

After returning to the people, the ancestor of the Li family did the first business is the pen and ink business, when the world is initially decided, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, this kind of construction period, the most needed is the reader, but after experiencing the turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and the two turmoil of Yan Wang Jingnan, there are too few people who do this business, paper is very expensive, and the pen is also very expensive. It was precisely because of this that the ancestor of the Li family started this ink business.

As it turned out, he was right again!

Through this ink business, the ancestor of the Li family made a windfall and created the initial scale of the Li family! This is also the reason why this house of the Li family is called Moxiangju.

Next...... It is a long inheritance of a huge family, and it is strange to say that it may also be the day to prosper the Li family, in the next few hundred years, the successive heads of the Li family, all of them are heroes, one by one, they have made small achievements!

Hundreds of years of accumulation...... How terrible is this?

Of course, the most shocking thing is that in those ten years of turmoil, this family was not defeated, but more prosperous, which is simply a miracle!

The current Li family, the political, military, business, and black worlds can be called giants, and the glory that a family should have has it, and it even affects the pattern of the entire China!

It may be the prosperity and decline, the next generation of the Li family...... It seems that the inheritance has been broken now, because the son of the Li family has provoked someone who should not be messed with...... Eight years ago, the Li family was killed by the enemy for the first time, and even the three sons were all killed!

And that's not the end, that enemy family is not dead, and has returned with glory and huge power, that terrible power is definitely not something that the current Li family can compete with!

That hatred...... made the Li family at a loss and worried, and dyed the sideburns of the current head of the Li family white......

......

In a small pavilion in the backyard of Mo Xiangju, two old men in Tang costumes sat opposite each other and were playing chess.

Among them, an old man who looked to be in his sixties, but was full of energy, did not look at the chessboard, but was drinking tea with his eyes closed, wearing a white Tang suit, with a big back and eyes like an eagle, very sharp, perhaps it was because he was too sharp, so he gently closed his eyes......

This old man is the head of the Li family, Li Yuxie!

Another old man was wearing a red Tang suit, and there was not much difference between him and Li Yuxie, and he was the head of the Xiao family, one of the four great families in Beijing, Xiao Poyu! The two grew up wearing a pair of open crotch pants, and they have always been called brothers, because among the four great families, only the Xiao family and the Li family have the best relationship.

After staring at the chessboard for a long time, Xiao Poyu seemed to have thought of a killing move, and seemed to have a countermeasure, in short, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he raised his hand to shoot a "cannon" into the red party's lair, pointing at "general" with his left hand and "rook" with his right, and shouted softly in his mouth: "General!"

It's a wonderful move, and it will put the opposite side* into a dilemma all of a sudden!

At this point, Xiao Poyu raised his head and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are a little absent-minded today...... Looks like you're going to lose!"

"If you lose, you lose!"

Li Yuxie sighed, with a trace of helplessness written on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Eight years ago, when I completely offended that young man because of those few evil sons, I had already completely lost, and now what is the point of losing this game of chess?"

At the time, Xiao Poyu understood why Li Yuxie was always distracted today, and the things of the past few days ...... He also heard a little bit about it, and couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that a young man who had nothing but blood and courage back then would grow to such an extent now? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cloud and rain, but it is not an exaggeration to rely on a sword!

"He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows the hills!"

Li Yuxie took a sip of tea and said softly, "The Dark Council is powerful...... Eight years ago, those brutes had completely offended the Lord of the Dark Council to death, and now they ...... That young man is probably trying to find fault with me, this is still the result of the government maneuvering in the middle, if I have any action, doesn't it just give him a reason to destroy the Li family......? I can't say it, I can only abandon the car to protect the handsome!"

As he spoke, he gently scratched the "taxi" on the chessboard, so that the "handsome" was saved, but the "car" was lost!

Xiao Poyu's face changed suddenly, he understood what Li Yuxie meant, who else could there be in that "car" that was thrown away except for the Sky Wolf Gang? At that moment, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "The Sky Wolf has been secretly operating for many years, can you just throw it away?!"

After saying this, he gritted his teeth and said the words that he held in his heart: "Moreover, that person killed your three sons, and now he is killing him again...... It's so deceitful, do you still have to put up with it?!"

"If you can't bear it, how can you fight? Can you fight it? It's like hitting a stone with an egg!"

Li Yuxie glanced at Xiao Poyu, and suddenly sneered: "If the son is gone, he can be reborn, isn't it just three beasts, Lao Tzu can afford to pay for it! The Sky Wolf Gang is gone, Lao Tzu can be cultivated again, it's a big deal to spend a little more money and energy! But only he can't lose his life, otherwise he will really have nothing! For people like us, as long as he lives, it is more important than anything else!"

"But...... But when will this blunt knife cut meat?!"

"There's going to be a head...... How many times have I told you, when you can't beat the enemy, it's best to choose to endure, he is in front of you, you have to endure your wife, you can't say it...... In order to make him happy and not come to abuse you, you have to compliment him with a smile - the grass is really energetic, continue to grass, rest assured grass, I will prepare it for you if it is broken!"

Li Yuxie sat up suddenly, said a long list of foul words that definitely not a person of his identity should say, his face was slightly red, obviously very excited, he paused for a while before finally recovering, leaning back in his chair, and said lightly: "Prosperity and decline...... The Dark Council is prosperous, but in the final analysis, it is a force group, and the result of reckless military force will be self-reaping the consequences in the end, and once the battle is stopped, the many fierce generals who have eased up will inevitably gradually centrifuge, and it will not be far from falling apart! Too strong force may not be a good thing! Therefore, now we just need to be quiet and patient, I have a hunch, that moment is not far away!"

After saying this, Li Yuxie glanced at Xiao Poyu and said, "Before the opportunity appears, we had better endure it, you go back and tell the children of the Xiao family, let them all restrain themselves, don't provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, and cause a catastrophe, just like the three brutes in our family......! Generation after generation is more and more pompous!"

Xiao Poyu nodded and said with a smile: "Except for my nephews, who are headaches, my two sons are very reassuring...... Hehe, I've been thinking about finding him a daughter-in-law late......ly! Big brother, what do you say about the daughter of the Su family?!"

"Not bad!"

Li Yuxie nodded, just two egos are enough to explain too many things, people who have come to his position, there are not many young people who can enter his eyes, they are all rare, not bad...... There was a silence for a while, and a somewhat strange question was asked: "But...... Is that son of yours worthy of someone?"

Xiao Poyu had a smile on his face, but he had to admit that his living son was ...... is really not worthy of others, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Hmph, finger belly is married, I don't believe that he Su Lao Ghost can regret it?" Big deal...... It's a big deal, I'll pay a little more!"

looked at Xiao Poyu's somewhat distorted face...... Li Yuxie sighed silently...... I love my son too much, this is the way to get into trouble!

(There will be one more in a while, five more today, and I will do what I say, but I can't do it brothers~ haha.) The other is more likely to be later, if you like to go to bed early, go to bed, and get up tomorrow morning to watch. Hehe~)
