Chapter 358: Choice
Secret arts, soul jade, materials, and the existing martial arts resources of the Tang Clan, Xiao Zheng didn't dare to imagine how strong the Tang Clan would be when the next generation of martial artists grew up ten years later, and at that time, would the Mi family still be able to resist the Tang Clan's soldiers?
Originally, he planned to wait and see, but Ji Fulin's words before leaving made him make up his mind.
On the Long Xiang chariot, Ji Fu, who was leaving, sighed and said to him: "Old Xiao, get closer to the Tang Clan." ”
"How?"
"This Xiling is about to change the sky. ”
They are all sons of families, and they naturally know that the most direct embodiment of love is information sharing, and Ji Fu really regarded himself as a friend to reveal such a big secret to himself, because he knew how embarrassing Xiao's position in Xiling was.
In fact, as a member of the Xiao clan, Xiao Zheng only hopes that the two Tang Mi clans will stalemate for as long as possible, because only in this way will the Xiao clan gather more small clans and form another force that can stand on three legs.
In the past hundred years, the new family in Xiling has no longer stationed in the south city and the north city, but chooses the east city or the west city, which naturally has its own choice, but there are still many Xiao family's operations, and the Xiao family can become the representative of the Xiling clan The prestige is also because they have won a lot of rights and interests for these small families in Xiling.
I thought that the Xiao clan would be able to grow and grow slowly like this, but who would have thought that the Tang Mi and the two clans, who had been deadlocked for thousands of years, would actually divide the winners and losers at this inexplicable time, although Xiao Zheng's face remained unchanged at that time, his whole heart had sunk into the abyss.
Until now, he had not recovered, but he knew that this news must be spread to the clan as soon as possible, otherwise there would be a big disaster.
"The nameless jade jade connects a small spirit realm, and there are the things left by the powerful forces thousands of years ago, a large number of secret arts, a large amount of dragon soul jade, and a mountain of rare metals!" Xiao Zheng explained to Xiao Jinlin in the most serious tone without a little bias: "The short is ten years, and the long is twenty years. The strength of the Tang Clan will completely overshadow the Mi Clan, and if we take refuge at that time, we can only be driven as cannon fodder. ”
"So I think that I, the Shaw, should establish a relationship with the Tang clan as soon as possible to reap the maximum benefits. ”
There was pain and unwillingness in Xiao Zheng's eyes, as a big family, this choice was undoubtedly humiliating, but he knew that it was a choice that had to be made.
All foresight in the world is in the service of decision, and if you foresee the future but turn a blind eye, you will eventually be swallowed up by the future.
After listening to Xiao Zheng's words, the old man sitting in the middle hall sighed faintly and said, "Extremely stupid. ”
"What?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked unconvinced.
"If within a month, the Tang clan did not take the initiative to find the Xiao clan to unite, then the Xiao clan would go to unite with the Mi clan. Destroy the Tang Clan before it becomes overpowered. Xiao Jinlin's tiger eyes were full of determination, and he had a breathtaking kingly bearing: "No!
With the last six categorical words, you can feel what kind of bloody storm the old man's decision will set off in Longzhou, and no one can predict how far the Tang family, who has massive resources to make additions, will fight with the two families. With Xiao Jinlin's leadership on the frontal battlefield, coupled with the surprise attack of the Immortal Bird Feather Guard, even if the Tang Clan obtains the secret technique, it will not be able to escape the defeat.
But after all, the Tang clan is the strongest wealthy family in Xiling, and no one can predict how tragic this war will be, but it is certain that after this battle, there will be no more wealthy families in Xiling, and it will be slow down for fifty or sixty years.
"Old thing!You're crazy!!" Xiao Zheng couldn't believe his ears, he really suspected that this old guy was completely unconscious: "Now is a good time for the Xiao and Tang clans to establish diplomatic relations, Tang Peng, the son of the patriarch of the Tang clan, has expressed his good feelings for Jirou many times intentionally or unintentionally, isn't this exactly the heaven helping the Xiao family, but you want to let the Xiao family take such a bloody road, you are really crazy!!"
The Xiao family has training, and the descendants are not allowed to marry the sons of the Tang Mi and the two clans, but the young people will always have the urge to touch this taboo, and the more they can't get it, the more they want it, and the sons of the Tang Mi and the two clans are privately full of strength to conquer a young lady of the Xiao family, but unlike the general family education, the Xiao family's cultivation and education of women is not less than that of men, so in the past thousand years, no son of the Tang Mi family can get what he wants.
But it is the inherent routine of the family to establish diplomatic relations by marriage, especially if the object of diplomatic relations is still the son of the current patriarch, what is such a God-given opportunity in the eyes of this old thing?
Xiao Zheng's eyes have never been as angry as they are now, in the past, he just didn't like Xiao Jinlin, but now, he has begun to question Xiao Jinlin's qualifications as the patriarch of the Xiao clan: "It's a huge mistake for me to report this matter to you, I'm going to convene the Council of Elders, let the elders know about this matter, and see if they will support your stupidity!"
Xiao Jinlin smiled, this was the first time the old man laughed since Xiao Zheng entered the middle hall: "Do you know why you must be allowed to practice martial arts?"
"Because you old thing doesn't know anything other than martial arts, you only have fights and kills in your eyes!" Xiao Zheng replied with a disgusted face: "In your opinion, other things are worthless at all, only practicing martial arts can make the Xiao clan strong, so you forced all the Xiao clan people to practice martial arts, even women!"
It is precisely because of this that the Xiao clan has become the third largest clan in Xiling, and has pulled out a gap like mountains and seas with all other families. Xiao Jinlin didn't think that this clan order was a bad thing, and he didn't care about the contempt in Xiao Zheng's mouth, and said calmly: "It is precisely because of this that the Xiao clan still retains the right to choose even today, I can choose to help the Mi clan, or I can choose to help the Tang clan, and no matter which side I help, I can fight and settle the throne, and this is the choice that the martial arts of the clan get." ”
"Heh, this choice is a double-edged sword in the hands of an old guy like you! Obviously, the goal that can be achieved through negotiation and interest exchange must be obtained by fighting, do you have to fight for the Xiao clan's heritage before you give up?" Xiao Zheng said hatefully: "Since I know that the Tang clan has a certain ability to suppress the Mi clan, but I want to do the opposite, if the mountain doesn't come, I don't understand the reason why I will go to the mountain, and what kind of patriarch should I be!?"
In the past, the strength of the Tang and Mi clans was equal, and even the growth was equal, so the third party of the Xiao clan was extremely important to them, and it was the object that both clans were striving for, but now the Tang clan has determined that they can surpass the Mi clan within the number of years, so they will not be so concerned about fighting for the Xiao clan, this is a very simple supply and demand relationship.
So it used to be the Tang family who took the initiative to curry favor with the Xiao family, but the Xiao family has always avoided goodwill and remained neutral, and now is a good opportunity to take the Tang family's olive branch!
