Lu Yunzhou sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that this time when he went back, he would immediately discuss with Qi Min about their Qi family's retreat overseas.

In the face of the general trend of unifying the world, we cannot resist each other with the strength of the whole country, and some small struggles are meaningless.

Lu Yunzhou's suddenly depressed and depressed mood naturally fell in the eyes of Tian Dan, who had been observing him, Tian Dan couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart, looking at Lu Yunzhou's immature face, thinking that in the end, no matter how smart the young man in front of him was, he was still too tender after all.

Looking at Lu Yunzhou's face, Tian Dan had already guessed his thoughts, and he couldn't help but think of himself more than twenty years ago.

At that time, he was only a young man in his twenties, only one round older than the current Lu Yunzhou, which was the age of ambition.

At that time, almost the entire territory of Qi fell, and only the two remaining cities of Jimo and Ju remained. He was ordered to take over the city defense of Jimo City from Lu Yunzhou's grandfather, the patriarch of the Lairen clan back then, and now in the hands of Qi Hongye, the Tang Marquis who was raised with peace of mind in Qi Mansion.

When Qi Hongye personally granted him military power, he once asked Tian Dan the same question, asking his position - whether he chose to stand on the side of the Qi people or choose to stand on the side of the Lai people?

Qi Hongye asked very bluntly at that time, and it was not as vague as Tian Dan's question today, and Lu Yunzhou had to guess.

At that time, Tian Dan, although he was still a young man, but he had been mixed among the low-level officials in Linzi, he already had the ability to understand people's hearts, in order to get the power of the city defense army, he got the support of the Lai people, and did not hesitate to answer the Lai patriarch Qi Hongye, he chose to stand on the side of the Lai people!

He promised that as long as he could restore the country, he would do his best to let the Lai people get an equal status with the Qi people in this land!

Qi Hongye chose to trust him, handed over the military power to him, and led all the Lai people to unswervingly support him in the subsequent Restoration War!

And Tian Dan after the restoration of the country, but also almost completed the Lai patriarch Qi Hongye promise, now the Lai people, in the Qi country has no longer suffered discrimination and contempt, in addition to the older Lai people still occasionally recall the Qi people brought them a lot of scars, born after the restoration of the younger generation of Lai people, living in a stable and rich environment, has long been rid of the previous hatred of the Qi people.

However, Tian Dan still did not fully fulfill his promise in the end, although he did it to let the ordinary people of Qi State Lai people live on an equal footing with Qi people, but he could not do it, so that the Qi family in the officialdom was also treated equally with the bureaucrats from Qi State.

This kind of unequal treatment is not the unequal treatment of officials and ranks, but the unequal treatment of trust!

Even if the Qi family became the richest man in the Qi country, even if they had a powerful force in the political and military circles, Tian Dan and the king of Qi never really trusted them, and the Qi family never really touched the core of the power of the Qi country.

Tian Dan retracted those thoughts of recalling the past, and refocused his eyes on the young man of the Qi family in front of him, the world is often like this full of dramatic reincarnation, more than 20 years ago, the patriarch of the Qi family forced him to take a stand, more than 20 years later, it was Tian Dan's turn to force the juniors of the Qi family, and he had to choose a position!

Tian Dan thinks that this is not ungrateful, after all, he has given enough to the Qi family, in the final analysis, his surname is Tian, and what flows in him is the blood of the Qi royal clan!

Lu Yunzhou let out a sigh of relief, his gaze gradually became firm, he had already made the final decision, and he would not regret it again.

"Anyway, thirty-five years later, I will be fifty years old, and by then Herou'er's children have grown up, I will take my family to overseas for the elderly with peace of mind!

Lu Yunzhou thought so in his heart, and a relaxed smile gradually appeared on his face, as if he had taken off all the burdens at this moment, raised his head again, and looked at Tian Dan with clear eyes, about to say his final decision.

Suddenly, his heart moved, as if he had grasped a key inspiration in the fog!

"Yes, I thought of Rou'er just now!"

Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but be stunned.

Father Qi Min's voice, like a bell in the distance, sounded leisurely in his ears--

“...... For the King of Qi, it is very simple to curb the power of our Qi family and prevent the rising of the Lai people...... King Qi only needs to dilute the bloodline of the Qi family's Lai people, so that the descendants of the Qi family are not pure Lai people, and that's it......"

"yes, how could I not have thought of it...... The key is bloodline!"

Lu Yunzhou's eyes lit up, like a bolt of lightning, hitting Lu Yunzhou's heart, making him suddenly feel bright in his heart, and his doubts were suddenly relieved!

With his mind racing, he had already thought of the most perfect way to break the game in an instant!

Lu Yunzhou didn't hesitate anymore, sat up, arched his hands, and said loudly: "Tian Xiang, Qi Yu is not talented, but he thinks that among the younger generation of the Qi family's Yu generation, I should be the main one, and I will be the helmsman of the next generation of my Qi family in the future!"

"Oh?" Lu Yunzhou's loud posture made Tian Dan also very surprised, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Lu Yunzhou with some surprise.

Lu Yunzhou's words are equivalent to declaring that the Qi family and him are inseparable, and his own will can represent the future direction of the Qi family!

Tian Dan was unmoved, and said nonchalantly: "Is this your own idea, or is it a joint decision of Marquis Tang, Da Si Xing and General Qi?"

Tian Dan's meaning is very simple, you say that you are the future spokesperson of the Qi family, right? Has your father admitted it? Has your grandfather admitted it? Has your uncle admitted it? They are still there, you are just a junior, how can you represent the future of the Qi family?

Lu Yunzhou smiled slightly, and distinguished one by one: "First, my father is the eldest son, the son of the Tang Marquis of the Great Prince, and the rightful heir of my grandfather's title, and I am my father's only son-in-law in blood, and the position of the head of the family should ultimately fall on my shoulders!"

Tian Dan still looked at him lightly and did not say anything.

Although the primogeniture inheritance system is the cornerstone of the iron-clad patriarchal system in this era, when it comes to the actual situation, many accidents often occur, in fact, brothers are on the wall, the same room, and the abolition of the heirs, no matter in which era, which country, which family is very common, before everything settles, no one can guarantee who will pick the final fruit.
