That night, each of the five surnamed families received the news of Shangguan Qiuyu's arrival.

The reactions of each family were different, but they all fell silent for the first time, and for a while, there was no family ready to contact Shangguan Qiuyu, the major general of the Shangguan family.

Obviously, he took care of Shangguan Qiuyu's arrival.

The arrival of the major general of the Shangguan family in person, in the eyes of each family, must not be a small one, and if you go rashly, I am afraid that you will fall into the lower echelons.

If the situation is unclear today, the five surnamed families obviously don't want to get involved easily at this time.

However, not all of the five families were calm, and among them, Xiong and Ji had a certain dispute over whether to invite Shangguan Qiuyu.

Many people believe that the five families should be in the same breath, and they should not make decisions when each family has not yet ventilated.

However, not everyone thinks so, and some of the Xiong family, including the father of the meat dun man, were very moved after learning what Shangguan Qiuyu said at noon.

Nandi has always been dominated by five families with five surnames, and although the power of the five families is also strong and weak, the overall strength is not much different.

Therefore, there has always been a very balanced state between the five surname families.

However, in addition to the five families in the Five Holy Cities, there are also many powerful local wealthy families.

For a long time, because of the vertical and horizontal waterways, the southern region has occupied the advantage of water conservancy, so it has rarely been invaded by foreign forces in the south.

In such a comfortable environment, the local forces in various places have proliferated, and they are not much worse than those in the Central Plains.

These forces are huge and innumerable, and the only thing they lack is the foundation.

The Central Plains has always been the center of the world and has always been the focus of efforts of all forces.

Because of the late development of the south, even the local forces like Xichuan or Nandi are much worse than the various forces in the Central Plains.

However, this gap has now begun to fade.

In the Central Plains, dragons and snakes are mixed, and the battle is bound to be much more brutal than in the south.

Whenever there is a great chaos, the strength of the major forces in the Central Plains will drop by one point after some purging.

In the south, because the local forces are not strong, they often take advantage of the trend.

Once a unified and powerful political power emerges in the Central Plains, the local forces in the south will inevitably adopt dependent forces when they see that they are powerful.

With the passage of time, although it was difficult for the south to form a powerful political force, the foundation of the local forces in the south increased day by day, greatly shortening the distance between the south and the Central Plains.

However, there are many ingredients mixed in the heritage, and the congenitally deficient south wants to catch up with the Central Plains, but it still needs to continue to work hard.

At least in the current south, there is still no possibility of playing with the Central Plains.

Of course, the main reason why the South is like this is due to human nature.

The climate in the south is fundamentally different from that in the north of the Central Plains, and the climate in the south is mild, resulting in people's personalities being like the climate.

Living in a region where the four seasons are like spring all year round, the people at the bottom naturally lack the atmosphere of the people in the Central Plains and the martial spirit of the northern region.

This is a congenital cause, not a human act.

It is precisely this congenital deficiency that makes it generally difficult for the southern forces to have a male master.

Even if there is a strong male lord at the bottom, it will be nip in the bud by the conservative forces in the south.

As for the upper echelons of the south, it is generally believed that even if the south is unified, it will be difficult to compete with the northern forces of the Central Plains.

This kind of thinking has caused many forces in the south to like to follow the trend, and it has become a general trend that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Now the Shangguan family, the dragon that crosses the river in the north, has penetrated deep into the south and has taken root in the five states of southern Xinjiang.

It can be seen that as long as there are no big accidents, the general trend in the south will inevitably change dramatically in the future because of the existence of the Shangguan family.

Instead of having a relationship with the Shangguan family at that time, it is better to have an incense relationship with him now.

Moreover, the Ji Xiong family was also very interested in the perfumes and other things sold by the Shangguan family.

There is a way that is first-come, first-served, although the five families have always pursued the principle of advancing and retreating together.

This is the general trend, and the five surname families will not change no matter what.

However, although the general trend cannot be changed, it is not okay to change the small trend.

There are many wealthy families in the south, and although the five families have monopolized the grain and shipping industries, each family does not make much money under the equal sharing of the interests of the five families.

And the things mentioned by Shangguan Qiuyu made the Ji Xiong family a little moved.

For this kind of behavior that can wantonly collect money from other wealthy families in the south, the two high-level executives have their own careful thoughts.

In the inner courtyard of Xiong Mansion, after Xiong Wu, the second master of the Xiong family, came back from his old father's study, he immediately sent someone to recruit his third son, who had always been stubborn.

Seeing that his father didn't speak for a long time, the meat dun man couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

To say that the three young men of the Xiong family are not afraid of the sky and the earth, they have always been well-known for their gentleness.

However, the three young men of the Xiong family, who were squirming outside, couldn't help but be stunned when they came to their own Lao Tzu.

Probed his brain, squeezed his eyebrows at his eldest brother for a long time, and there was no response, and the meat dun man couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

After a long time, Xiong Wu opened his mouth and asked Xiong Wu, the eldest son next to him:

"Chen'er, have you found anything?"

Hearing his father's question, Xiong Chen hurriedly reported what he knew to his father one by one:

"Father, according to the report from the people below, the Shangguan family has transported a large amount of grain into the south during this time, and the specific reason is not known for the time being.

However, it is rumored that Zhen Guogong was assassinated by a mysterious person in Xichuan, and the Western Expedition army has now retreated to Jingguan to garrison, and the specific situation is unknown.

The child guessed that the appearance of the major general of the Shangguan family in the realm of the territory should be related to the assassination of Zhenguo Gong.

However, this is only a child's conjecture, and it is unknown how the child is specific. ”

"Zhen Guogong was assassinated, and the army of the Western Expedition retreated to Jingguan?" Xiong Wu couldn't help muttering to himself after hearing this.

"Mo Fei"

"Father" didn't wait for Xiong Wu to think about it, but the meat man on the side couldn't wait.

"Press?" was interrupted by his own son, which made Xiong Wu look at him with some displeasure.

Waving his hand, he didn't ask anything, and then said to him:

"Go down first, and I'll send someone to call you if there's something." ”

Seeing that his father was in a hurry to send someone to recruit him, and now he sent himself back without explaining anything, which made the meat dun man muttered in his heart.

opened his mouth to say something, but he saw that his own Lao Tzu didn't seem interested in taking care of himself.

So, the meat dun man had no choice but to bow honestly and leave the study with a depressed face.

"Father, third brother, he" Xiong Chen still has some expectations for his third brother who has begun to change sex.

"Needless to say, Xiaobao, it would be great if he could really change his sex.

However, the most important thing now is not the question of your third brother, but the fact that you need to find out as soon as possible which Shangguan Major General is here for what purpose.

Your grandfather has personally inquired about this matter, so you can't be sloppy, and you need to do it as soon as possible. ”

For his third son, who began to change sex, Xiong Wu was naturally very relieved to see it.

However, at this moment, it is not the time to deal with his son's private affairs.

For the arrival of Shangguan Qiuyu, the Xiong family attaches great importance to it, which is the first priority.

Therefore, he naturally didn't have time to pay too much attention to the matter of the meat dun man.

"Yes, the boy understands. Xiong Chen, who knew which was more important, naturally didn't say anything.
