Part 1 The Blade Rises Again Chapter 69 The Clan Meeting
"Eh, Motong-kun, where's your knife?"
Lan Moxin saw that Chen Jiu's waist was empty, so he asked.
"Ahh This... β
Chen Jiu didn't want people to know that Moyun Gongzi could act alone now, so he forcibly explained:
"I'm in a hurry to go out, but it's okay, the City Lord's Mansion is not a dangerous place, haha. β
"Hmm. β
Although Lan Moxin responded like this, he was also a little more suspicious, like Chen Jiu, his butcher's knife was like a part of his body, how could he forget it? There must be a hidden secret!
After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Walking into the golden corridor, Chen Jiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
I thought about coming here for the first time, but Changfeng-kun saved my life. Now I'm going to intrigue with Changfeng Jun.,It's a pity.γγγ But if I don't, I'll fall victim to the maelstrom of power in these families...
Chen Jiu thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
The venue is on the back hill, which is very elegant.
Overhead is a dazzling painting, the subject of which is as always, the situation of the ancestor Xu Changtian killing all sides. According to legend, Xu Changtian was born in a small family in decline, and came out to fight the world with a spear, although he failed to become the emperor in the end, he was dominant, the Xu family was revitalized, and his children and grandchildren were blessed.
Chen Jiu had a good impression of the legendary heroic and heroic Lord Xu Changtian, after all, the first time he looked at the mural, he had realized a set of sword techniques.
On the walls are portraits of the heads of the Hui family, some of which are old, and the coloring is already dim, not as dazzling as those of the newer paintings.
On the staggered screens, most of the paintings are the figures of the Xu family in the past dynasties, and it is also a great honor to be able to paint portraits here.
Xu Changfeng sat on the main seat, and on his right hand, Lan Moxin was first, followed by Chen Jiu. Although he was only a guest, the cultivation of the royal rank still brought him a lofty status.
Sitting cross-legged, in front of him was a rather low table, with tea sets, boiling water, and tea leaves.
Chen Jiu prefers white tea, so he picked up some and began to make tea. Flowing and graceful.
This is not a hundred knives Chen Motong...
Lan Moxin sighed.
Xu Changfeng stared at Chen Jiu, shook his head, and stopped talking.
On Xu Changfeng's left-hand side, there is a group of young talents, Xu Yuanshan and others are all in this list. Including Elder Keqing, there were about a hundred people.
Only the great knights who have cultivated above are eligible to attend in the hall, and under the hall, they are all members of the Xu clan, all of whom are knight realm cultivators. There were thousands of them.
Chen Jiu was a little surprised, but he didn't know that these people were all in the army on weekdays, such as eighty percent of the disciples of the City Lord's Mansion were also in the army, so they didn't usually see them.
Those who have not reached the knight realm are not qualified to participate in the clan meeting, Chen Jiu predicts that there will probably be tens of thousands of people from the Xu clan who have not reached the knight realm, which is worthy of being a big family.
The ceremony of worshipping the ancestors of the Xu family was naturally not participated by Chen Jiu and Lan Moxin, and in order to show respect, they also stood up and stood solemnly.
After bowing again and again, it was sacrificial wine again, and Xu Changfeng led them to make it for a while before it was finished.
"Thank you, gentlemen, for your appreciation. β
He said this to the many guests on the right.
The lord of the castle laughed. β
This is how many guests responded. Then Xu Changfeng said:
"Great Elder, you are always presiding. β
Xu Changfeng sat down to make tea with a brisk face.
The Great Elder was Xu Jian, although he had been in retreat for many years, in the Battle of the Ice Field, he showed a strong combat power that made him still sit firmly in this position.
Xu Jian then stood up, first bowed his hands politely on all sides, and then said:
"First of all, I would like to ask the two city lords of Nanshan City and Dangkou City to report. β
In the vast area controlled by the Xu clan, Changtian City, as the birthplace of the Xu clan, is the largest city, with a population of nearly six million, otherwise it would not have been able to raise as many as 600,000 troops.
Nanshan City and Dangkou City are small cities compared to Changtian City. With a population of more than 3 million and an army of more than 100,000 people, Nanshan Castle is located on the right side of the southern mountain range.
Dangkou City is located in the front line of the long-term confrontation between the Changtian Xu clan and the Blood Sect, with a population of only more than one million, but a huge army of nearly 800,000.
In addition to these three cities, there are still many towns in the territory controlled by the Xu clan, such as the Black Blood Town where Chen Jiu went yesterday, but it is extremely rare to have a "high degree of autonomy" like the Black Blood Town, and it is more managed by the Xu clan. Compared with these small towns, Nanshan City and Dangkou City are also behemoths.
And there are also many guests in Nanshan City and Dangkou City, and now they are also present here, so here today, the number of strong people in the Xu clan who have reached the Great Knight Realm far exceeds Chen Jiu's imagination.
In this regard, Chen Jiu can only be said to have a slight understanding.
"Business travel increased by about 2 percent, and annual profits increased by about 3 percent, and the growth rate has declined compared with previous years. It was already time for Nanshan Castle to be expanded. β
The name of the person who spoke was Xu Gu, the cultivation of the first stage of the king's rank, and his name was Frost. This person is the city lord of Nanshan City, and in terms of seniority, he is a generation higher than Xu Changfeng.
The city lord of Dangkou City is named Xu Juntian, called Wan Jun, and Xu Changfeng is the same generation, and he is cultivated as a king.
However, these two were against Xu Changfeng's succession to the throne at the beginning, and now Xu Changfeng also sees them as unpleasant, and the relationship between the two sides is very stiff.
Of course, Chen Jiu categorically didn't know these inside stories, so he secretly sent a voice to Lan Moxin and asked:
"Mo Xinjun, when the Ancient Ice Plain encircled and suppressed the Blood Sect and its subordinates, where were these two adults?"
Lan Moxin just shook his head:
"Their family affairs are inconvenient for us foreigners to participate in. β
Chen Jiu then began to drink tea with interest, recalling that day on the ice field, and suddenly figured out some meanings.
At that time, Xu Changfeng must have a backhand, he was just forcing Lan Huaxin and Lan Moxin to go all out, no matter how unbearable the Lan family was, it was impossible for them to beat the two half-step king ranks, they were just forcing Xu Changfeng to take out his hole cards and kill Xue Tianlan. As for me Chen Jiu, he Xu Changfeng couldn't believe it at all, so he asked me to stay outside from the beginning to avoid uncertainties. My arrival was completely unexpected.
Damn it...
Chen Jiu suddenly felt a sharp pain in the wound on his right arm, which was left when he dealt with Blood Tianlan at that time. It took a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, not to mention that the halberd of Blood Tianlan was very strong, so this injury was not yet healed.
These people have been making trouble for a long time and treating this seat as a monkey. . .
Chen Jiu thought with some anger:
I knew what I was doing there. For them, Blood Tianlan was like catching a turtle in an urn. However, it is said that the entire territory of this ancient ice field is in the territory of the Xu Clan, how did those people in Blood Tianlan get in?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and at this time, Xu Juntian stood up and spoke:
"Hunting in early summer has always been an activity in Changtian City, how can I participate in Dangkou City? I don't know why there are people from the Blood Sect on the ancient ice field, just in those days when the millions of troops of the Blood Sect are pressing the border, I and I are already exhausted just by resisting, although I have received your message, but I am powerless. Grand Elder Xu Jian, what are you doing looking at me as if you were a teacher asking for sin? Could it be that this is how you Changtian City treat the Xu clan's people who were born and died on the border?"
Xu Jian was speechless when he said this, and Xu Changfeng also said that he wanted to shoot the case several times.
In this way, Xuetian Lan is clearly what you Xu Juntian intentionally or unintentionally put in, and borrowed his hand to get rid of me as the successor to the head of the family?
Xu Changfeng thought about it calmly, pretended to be relaxed, and continued to listen.
And Chen Jiu had already heard some clues from Xu Juntian's words, Xu Juntian's attitude was too arrogant, right? Did you borrow a knife to kill someone? It seems that Xue Tianlan was completely used, and she was stupid.
This race will be more complicated than you think...
Chen Jiu thought about it, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Xu's water is too deep, if I get involved, I'm afraid I'm going to die without a place to bury...
I should probably go back to Iron Mountain City... I heard that my righteous brother Ouyang Song is now the head of the Ouyang clan in the casting capital, and with Sister Yu Yan, they also have four royal ranks. Let's say that they have millions of troops, the overlord of the southwest, why be afraid? When I hang an elder seal letter in the Ouyang clan, the Xu clan may not dare to touch me...
Chen Jiu thought about it to himself, in short, it was difficult to feel at ease, and he regretted very much why he didn't let Mo Yun follow him today.
As for what the clan would say later, Chen Jiu didn't pay attention to listen to it, and it didn't have much to do with him anyway. After that, they began to deploy a battle plan for the Blood Sect to take advantage of the victory and pursue, and many unrelated people began to retreat one after another.
"Today, the Blood Sect is weak and outnumbered, and Changfeng Jun will definitely be able to break it in one fell swoop, and the southeast of the northern border, the Xu clan will be unified, and I will congratulate you first. β
Chen Jiu bowed his hand and immediately retired.
Out of the city lord's mansion, he carried the exercises, his body was as light as a swallow, and if there was a gust of wind, he rushed back to Qingxinju with the eaves and walls.
"The Xu clan won't touch you, it's not in their interest. β
When Young Master Moyun heard Chen Jiu say all the things about this clan meeting, he also frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Changfeng Jun will definitely not move you, at most he will calculate you and try to make you useful to him. If it is as you said, the contradiction between him and Xu Jishuang and Xu Wanjun must be irreconcilable. If he loses with you at this time, then how can he still be the head of the family. Xu Wanjun and the others are counting on you to do things for them, and they shouldn't touch you. Besides, you are still a nominal guest, the Xu family dares to touch you, will there be foreigners who dare to do things for the Xu family in the future?"
Listening to Mo Yun Gongzi's analysis, Chen Jiu's hanging heart also let go.
"But we still can't relax our grip, what if the Xu clan puts you under house arrest, or forces you to be used by them? You said that the Chen clan was exterminated back then, and the Xu clan may have participated, but what if they really participated? If so, we are in a precarious situation now. I'm afraid that their strength is more than what you have seen and heard, and it will not be difficult to destroy us. β
Moyun Gongzi thought about it and sighed, it was so naΓ―ve to think that he would be able to dominate the world by achieving the king rank.
After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was so excited that he slapped the case, and he asked Chen Jiu:
"I seem to remember that when you left Iron Mountain City in anger, you still had the seal of the capital with you. Look for it, where have you thrown it all these years? This thing is very useful now!"
Ask for comments, ask for collections, ask for monthly passes, and recommend tickets.
