Chapter 12: The struggle for power
Chen Jian killed the traitors of the Chen family's dead soldiers, and casually sent out a few small fireballs, burning the corpses of these traitors to ashes, and after destroying the corpses, he left the woods without any hesitation.
Chen Jian knew that the next trip to the ancestral land of the Chen family might not be as simple as he imagined, and if he wanted to receive the power of the ancestral land of the Chen family, he would definitely encounter some resistance.
However, Chen Jian didn't take it to heart, he was going to decide the power of the Chen family's ancestral land, and no one could stop it.
At this time, Chen Tianyou rushed to the ancestral land of the Chen family through the secret passage in the Chen family's villa.
At the exit of the dark passage, an old man in a black robe waited early.
"How's the situation?" Chen Tianyou hurriedly asked when he saw this.
"I've sent someone out to intercept it, and there is no news yet. ”
The black-robed old man replied.
"Chen Jian came back too suddenly, I didn't have the slightest preparation, if the family master's token is really on him, then wouldn't all our plans be in vain?"
Chen Tianyou was in the secret room, walking back and forth, looking anxious.
"Some of the set-ups weren't finished yet, which really caught us off guard. ”
Hearing this, the black-robed old man nodded approvingly.
"No, the plan we have been planning for many years is about to succeed, and we must not fall short because of Chen Jian's appearance. ”
Chen Tianyou paused, a trace of ruthlessness appeared on his face, and he said with a vicious look in his eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
The black-robed old man looked at Chen Tianyou and asked.
"Plan ahead!"
Chen Tianyou's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold voice.
"Good!"
The black-robed old man was not surprised, and immediately nodded.
The ancestral land of the Chen family, the conference hall, the rulers of the ancestral land of the Chen family, gathered together.
The ancestral land of the Chen family is divided into four guards: Qinglongwei, Vermilion Bird Guard, White Tiger Guard, and Xuanwu Guard.
Each guard has a captain, who is served by the four elders of the Chen family.
The four guards have different divisions of labor and different strengths, but they are all important components of the Chen family's ancestral land, and all of them are indispensable.
"Fourth, you gathered us all together, is there anything important to discuss?"
The Great Elder of the Chen Family sat on the chair, his face was slightly gloomy, he looked at the black-robed old man and asked.
The Great Elder was the captain of the Green Dragon Guard, and he was highly respected in the Chen family's ancestral land and respected by everyone.
Moreover, the strength of the Great Elder was unfathomable, and in the Chen family's ancestral land, almost no one was his opponent.
When the others heard this, they also turned their eyes to the four elders, waiting for the four elders' answers.
"Well, I'm also entrusted by someone, God bless, you come out. ”
The fourth elder's face was indifferent, he nodded slightly, and then beckoned behind him.
"Junior Chen Tianyou, I have seen the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder. ”
Chen Tianyou stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder one by one.
"It turns out that God blesses, please get up quickly, no need to be polite. ”
Seeing that it was Chen Tianyou, the Great Elder hurriedly said.
Chen Tianyou followed Chen Feng to the Chen family's ancestral land many times, so the Great Elder knew him.
"Great Elder Xie. ”
Chen Tianyou got up and thanked him.
"Elders, I won't beat around the bush, this time, I hope to get the support of the Chen family's ancestral land!"
Chen Tianyou sat down next to the four elders, he looked at the great elders and the others, and said directly to the point.
"In the past five years, the Chen family has lost the support of their ancestral land, and has been suppressed by the other two major families in Lincheng, the Nalan family and the Wang family!"
"Now, the Chen family has fallen from the first family in Lincheng to the third family, and what is even more serious is that other families are eyeing the Chen family and are ready to join forces to pull the Chen family down from the top three thrones in Lincheng. ”
"If we don't get the support of the Chen family's ancestral land, I'm afraid that the Chen family will be in danger of decline and destruction!"
Chen Tianyou pretended to be miserable and pitiful, and cried to the Great Elders, hoping to arouse the other party's compassion.
"We also have some understanding of the current situation of the Chen family, but the ancestor has said that only the head of the Chen family can use the power of the Chen family's ancestral land. ”
When the Great Elder heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, he sighed slightly, and said helplessly.
"Therefore, there is nothing we can do, God forbid, everything is up to you. ”
The Great Elder didn't think about it, and directly rejected Chen Tianyou's request for help.
"But, Great Elder, after my father died, I will be the head of the Chen family!"
Seeing that the Great Elder was still unwilling to use the power of the Chen family's ancestral land to support him, Chen Tianyou couldn't help but say eagerly.
"Zu Xun said, the people of the ancestral land of the Chen family only recognize the token and do not recognize the person, God bless, as long as you can take out the token of the head of the family, we will immediately serve you as the master and assist you with all our might. ”
The Great Elder was unmoved, he still adhered to the ancestral precepts of the family and did not waver in the slightest.
Generally speaking, the token of the head of the family is passed from the previous head of the family to the next head of the family, and there is no mistake.
However, Chen Tianyou was unable to take out the token of the head of the family, so there was only one possibility, he was not the next head of the Chen family selected by Chen Feng, the head of the previous generation.
Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why the Great Elders have always been reluctant to admit that Chen Tianyou is the real head of the Chen family.
As for the token of the head of the Chen family, in whose hands it is, they believe that one day, it may come to light.
"Ancestral training, ancestral training, everything is ancestral training, great elder, ancestral training is dead, people are alive. ”
Chen Tianyou saw that no matter what he said, the Great Elders were indifferent and couldn't help but be anxious.
"Now, the Chen Group has been suppressed by several families, and if it does not get the support of the family's ancestral land, within a few months, the Chen Group will go bankrupt!"
Chen Tianyou couldn't keep calm, he stood up, slapped the table with both hands, and said excitedly.
"It doesn't matter, the Chen Group will fall down, as long as the real Chen family head appears, we can support another Chen Group again. ”
When the Great Elder heard this, he said disapprehantly.
The Chen Group is just the apparent strength of the Chen family, but in fact, the ancestral land of the Chen family is the foundation of the Chen family.
As long as the ancestral land of the Chen family is not destroyed, let alone one Chen group, even ten Chen groups can be easily created.
Chen Tianyou was furious in his heart, feeling that there was a fire burning in his chest, and he couldn't help but secretly curse the Great Elder in his heart that the few people were really not things.
"Originally, I didn't want to do something drastic, but since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Chen Tianyou's face was gloomy, and a sinister look appeared in his eyes, he looked at the Great Elders and said in a calm tone.
"Fourth Elder, let's do it. ”
Chen Tianyou looked at the four elders sitting on the side, nodded, and commanded.
"Good. ”
Hearing this, the four elders nodded.
Then, the four elders picked up the teacup on the table, clanged, and fell to the ground.
I saw that from outside the conference room, dozens of Chen family dead soldiers of the Xuanwu Guards rushed in and surrounded the Great Elder and others.
