Chapter 64: Speaking of the Hidden Family
The news of Lord Zhongshu's assassination at the birthday banquet has spread throughout the city, and although Liang Zhongshu wants to stop the spread of the news, he also knows that the spread of such a situation has become a foregone conclusion, and it is too difficult to redeem it.
But that's okay, as long as Mrs. doesn't cry to Cai Xiang, Cai Xiang will definitely support him fully, as long as Cai Xiang supports, I believe the situation here will be much better, and even Lu Junyi is no longer a problem.
Thinking like this, he wrote two letters, one of which was sent to Cai Xiang by his henchmen for 800 miles, and the other was sent by secret carrier pigeons.
This is also where he is cautious, and he is prepared for everything, which is much safer. What's more, this assassination also made him more cautious, he had already woken up to the fact that he had not yet reached the level of covering the sky with one hand.
Wanbaolou did not open the next day, although Liang Zhongshu failed to find evidence here, and he didn't think that the thousands of yuan dared to harm him, but he still instinctively hated this place, and found an excuse to close the store for a month, although the expression of thousands of yuan was as bitter as a dead father, in fact, he was relieved in his heart, because he saved his life, which was more important than anything else!
And the heads of the other forces of the daimyo industry quickly spread the news, and for a while, the daimyo's carrier pigeons flew all over the sky, which was a spectacle.
......
In a restaurant in Dongchang, the young man in black received the secret letter handed by the middle-aged man. He has starry eyes and sword eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, a talent, and a folding fan in his hand, like a son of Xunshijia, but the smile with evil intent at the corner of his mouth destroys this beauty, and he seems to be a little demonic.
After receiving the secret letter and unfolding it, the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth froze. A puff of black smoke rose out of his hand, and the secret letter suddenly turned into ashes.
"Failed. The young man's eyes staring at the middle-aged man became a little strange, and the next moment, he returned to the strange appearance with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The middle-aged man felt the change in his son, and his heart sank, knowing that the son was dissatisfied, he quickly knelt down.
"The sixth son, the second son is also in trouble, so ......"
"Trouble? I've just gotten out of trouble here, and my most powerful subordinate is still unconscious, where can I help him? Tell me, what's going on with the second brother?"
"Sixth Prince, in the direction of Dongping, the Sixth Prince met the young master of the 'Tianten' Luo family, the strength of the two sides is about the same, and they can't hold each other, so they sent me over to ask for help. And this is the carrier pigeon I caught on the road, and after reading the contents, I hurried over, but I didn't expect our careful plan to fail. ”
The middle-aged man was honestly frightened, feeling that it seemed that the master in front of him was already in a very bad mood, and his news added fuel to the fire. If it weren't for his loyalty to his family, he wouldn't have taken out the intercepted letters at this time.
"The Luo family? Hmph, is it another family with that kind of strange ability? I heard that they are also very chaotic internally, wasn't that bloody day ten years ago caused by their internal strife?"
For the 'Tian Shi' and 'Twelve Branches' families, even if they are ancient families, they may not have a lot of understanding, because some ancient families are quite hidden, and naturally, they don't have a deep understanding of the emerging families in the outside world. Of course, when they really decide to be born, they can also quickly establish an intelligence department, and in a short period of time, they can spread all over the Central Plains. Even the four wastelands, the overseas islands...... As long as they are willing to put in the work, all of this can be done. It's just that their hundreds of thousands of years of heritage are too deep for outsiders to imagine.
For example, the family disciple of a family that has existed for a thousand years has a status half a generation higher than that of another family that has existed for 500 years in front of the family disciple of another family who has existed for 500 years in the same generation, which is almost an unwritten convention of the hidden family. However, the 'Heavenly Ten' and the 'Twelve Branches' more than a hundred years ago were not among them, because they had strange abilities and were very united, so that many hermit families had to compromise, so that their 'Heavenly Ten' members enjoyed the treatment of a thousand-year-old family, and the members of the 'Twelve Branches' enjoyed the treatment of a five-hundred-year-old family. The so-called treatment is naturally the distribution of benefits.
Since ancient times, there have been some good medicines that can prolong life and nourish martial arts in every era, and every time they appear, they can almost create a top or even peerless master!
But these hermit families, because they occupy the famous mountains and rivers, the elixir treasures in them are naturally collected by them and supplied to their own people, under the efforts of several generations, no one knows which one has such an elixir, which can immediately create a peerless master. Good medicine, treasures of heaven and earth, and even heirloom weapons cast by masters...... These are their heritage.
The so-called lack of people's hearts and benefits everyone wants, in order not to cause disputes in the rivers and lakes, the division of territory is a necessary measure. This is also the so-called treatment, because families of different generations naturally have different treatments.
This strategy of the Hidden Family is a division on the surface, even if the patriarchs of the 'Ten Heavens' and the 'Twelve Branches' know about it, but in the face of such a conspiracy and such interests, wouldn't they be the enemy of all the Hidden Families?
Therefore, the 'Ten Days' and the 'Twelve Branches' are estranged because of the uneven division of interests. Later, in order to strive for greater interests, the 'Tianshi' family broke away from the alliance with the 'Twelve Branches' family, and finally got the treatment of a 2,000-year-old family! You must know that among the hidden families, there are not many families in the 2,000-year-old family, and they can be regarded as truly famous.
As for the 'Twelve Branches', because of the defection of the 'Heavenly Ten', it was even more unbearable, and in the end, it only barely kept the treatment of the five-hundred-year-old family.
Different treatment, development is naturally different. With top-notch resources, the ten families of 'Tian Shi' have developed rapidly, and their strength has become stronger from generation to generation, and gradually, the status of 'Tian Shi' has become higher.
The alliance of the 'Twelve', in such a situation, naturally fell apart, and they began to look for their former 'allies' to take refuge, and finally, as they took refuge in different families, the two alliances of 'Tian Ten' and 'Twelve' collapsed.
This is exactly what those hidden families want to see the most.
In the end, except for the 'Chenlong' Xu family and the 'Shen Monkey' family, the rest of the 'Twelve Branches' members all sought refuge in the 'Tianten' family.
Of course, they just don't want to lower their arrogant heads, but in the end, they just get more and more out of the gap with other families.
The young man in black didn't know much about these histories, but as one of the candidates for the next head of the real two-thousand-year-old family, he was naturally not completely unfamiliar with those 'fake two-thousand-year-old families', but he didn't look down on them very much.
Why? Hmph, my ancestors caused them to kill each other and fall apart with a random divisive scheme, what is there to fear about such a family?
This is the confidence and pride of being a descendant of a two-thousand-year-old hermit family, as well as the pride engraved in the bones
