Imperial capital, Xiangshan Villa. Long Zhantian and his four sons, Long Zhenjiang, Long Zhenguo, Long Zhenbang, and Long Zhenhua, were sitting in the study with serious expressions. The three daughters didn't come back, because Long Zhantian now felt that it was not yet time to hold a meeting for all the family members to remember. The second eldest Long Zhenhai has not come back from the mountains and seas, and now several people are the mainstay of the Long family.

"Dad, judging from the current situation, my Long family's industries in various places are showing signs of being encroached upon. The third eldest Long Zhenbang picked up the thick stack of materials in his hand and distributed one to the rest of the people in turn.

"According to data analysis, since half a year ago, the Long family's industries everywhere have been gradually eroded, but it was not very obvious at that time. According to the semi-annual reports of various industries, the average turnover of various industries fell by about 30% in the first half of the year, of which the most affected was exports, and the turnover of export-oriented enterprises under Longjia fell by an average of 50%. Long Zhenbang said with a heavy expression, "In the first quarter, these were not obvious, and we thought they were affected by the international environment." But it wasn't until last month that I realized that something was wrong, and after careful analysis of the semi-annual report, I found that there was indeed a problem. ”

Long Zhenbang picked up the information and turned to one of the pages, "Among these industries, the energy, machinery, and communication industries have the most obvious impact, and according to the tracking survey, most of the lost shares are eaten away by some new companies, and behind these new companies, some of them are the shadows of the Xu family, and some of them are from the Japanese state." ”

The rest of the people frowned as they flipped through the information.

"Dad, now the matter is obvious, the Xu family began to unite the forces of the Japanese State to attack the industry under my Long family half a year ago. Long Zhenbang said.

"Dad, third, fourth, fifth brother, in the past two months, the protégés of the Long family in various important positions have also begun to have accidents one after another. The secretary of Hexi Province was double-opened, the governor of Jiangdong Province was suspended for investigation, and the deputy secretary of the Propaganda Committee was placed on file for investigation...... There are also some department-level cadres who have also been investigated......" Long Zhenjiang, the leader of the organization committee, also said with a heavy face, "At present, many people have asked me about the situation, and now it seems that people are a little panicked!"

"Yes, some overseas and domestic media are now circulating some gossip, and the situation is very unfavorable for us!" said Long Zhenguo, director of the General Office of the Government Council and Long Qian's father.

"Now there are also some people in the army who have begun to set up their own mountains and form small groups, and these people are more or less inextricably linked to the Xu family...... said Long Zhenhua, the youngest son. He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Armed Services Committee of the Dahua House of Representatives.

"Hmph, this old horseman, after so many years, his ambition still hasn't changed! What age is it now, does he still want to take revenge for the revenge of the year? Revenge on my Long family is a small matter, if this leads hundreds of millions of people in Dahua into dire straits, leads to great chaos in the world, and international hostile forces take advantage of the situation, then it will be a big deal!" Long Zhantian slapped his desk and stood up suddenly. "A few of you, immediately draw up a detailed response plan, and strive to find evidence of the Xu family's collusion with foreign forces as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Long Zhantian's sons replied in unison. In the study, a burst of murderous aura suddenly rose.

"A few days ago, you all know about Qianqian's affairs in Shanhai, right?" Long Zhantian suddenly changed the topic.

"Dad, we all know it, after Lin Fei told me, I told my brothers about it. Long Qian's father, Long Zhenguo, said.

"Lin Fei did the right thing, he should have abolished this kid of the Xu family a long time ago! In my opinion, Lin Fei was too light!" Long Zhenjiang said indignantly.

"That's it, the Xu family is simply too much, not only attacking my Long family's industry and protégés, but even the little girl will not let go!"

"Lin Fei did a good job in this matter! Even if the Xu family makes trouble with No. 1, our Long family will have a point!"

"I have my own plans for this matter, I'm going to invite Xu Qianli, an old horseman, to drink tea another day!" Long Zhantian spoke, "So you must pay attention to your own safety, have you all worn the jade pendant that Lin Fei brought back?"

"I put it on as soon as I got this jade pendant!"

"Me too, I've already put it on!"

"I've put them all on, Dad, and I've sent my three younger sisters to them. This jade pendant is really magical, I feel much better these days, and the strength in my body seems to be getting bigger and bigger!"

"My waist doesn't hurt at all!"

The sons said one after another, and took out the jade pendant from the clothes on their chests.

"The matter of this jade pendant and Ma Fan will be kept secret for the time being. Lin Fei said that this jade pendant is called the Dragon Pendant, and it is Ma Fan who carved thirty-six formations on it, and entered a large amount of spiritual energy! It can not warm the body, and more importantly, it can automatically defend against danger and attacks, and automatically counterattack. Long Zhantian said. In the past few days, he has been wearing a dragon pendant, and he obviously feels that he is far better than before, both physically and mentally.

"When Qianqian was kidnapped by the Jiaozhi people, did she also wear this dragon pendant?"

"Yes, so don't take it off at any time! this is a priceless treasure!" Long Zhantian said.

"Dad, this Ma Fan...... Who the hell is it?"

"Originally, I didn't know very well, but Lin Fei came back this time and said that Ma Fan was a cultivator. Now Lin Fei and Liu Yizhi are already Ma Fan's disciples, but Liu Yizhi is the second disciple, and our Lin Fei is the eldest disciple, hahaha! I can't imagine that my Long family can be with such an immortal!" Long Zhantian laughed heartily.

"Cultivator?" the rest of the people looked at each other. Long Zhantian actually didn't know much about it, and Long Linfei didn't say too much.

"No matter who Ma Fan is, in short, my Long family must be firmly attached to this person from now on!

"Dad, we've already explained it! Second brother, congratulations! Being able to have this son as a son-in-law is not only the creation of your family's Qianqian, but also the creation of my Long family!" the rest of the people hurriedly said.

The Long family is one, one loss is lost, one is prosperous and one is prosperous, this truth is clear to everyone.

"There are still two pieces left in this dragon pendant, so I will go into the Forbidden City in the past two days and send one to No. 1. Long Zhantian picked up a dragon pendant in the desk drawer and said slowly.

The brothers looked at each other, nodded, and then left one after another.

After a few people left, Long Zhantian stood up, stood in front of the bookshelf behind him for a moment, and stretched out his hand to press towards a backsplash of the bookshelf.

Silently, the bookshelves split abruptly from the middle to the sides, and a narrow secret door appeared in front of them.

Long Zhantian looked behind him, and entered the secret door with a cat's waist. Behind him, the bookshelf quietly returned to its original position.

Long Zhantian turned on the light in the darkroom, bent down, and lifted a floor tile on the ground.

Under the floor tiles, there is a hollowed-out dark grid. A dark red sandalwood box lay quietly in the center of the dark compartment, looking a little old.

Long Zhantian picked up the sandalwood box, brushed the dust on the surface with his hand, and then slowly opened the lid of the box.

A strangely shaped jade plaque rests flat on a red silk cloth in a sandalwood box. The jade plaque is pale green, looking like a hexagonal shape, and the body of the plaque seems to be like a cloud, floating with white flocculent lines.

"The old man of the Xu family is so intent on taking revenge on my Long family, is it really to avenge the failure to fight for the jade medal back then?" Long Zhantian carefully picked up the jade plate, and his thoughts returned to decades ago.

When the Japanese invaded Dahua, Long Zhantian, who was studying at Imperial Capital University, joined the Dahua Anti-Japanese Alliance Army. Long Zhantian has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is studying in college, which is the right place for Wen Tao's martial arts strategy and heroes, and he soon emerged in the alliance army, was promoted, and rose all the way to the top, and was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a colonel in just two years. In his military career, Long Zhantian became acquainted with Xu Qianli, the commander of another alliance army.

One day, both of them received information that a squadron of Japanese Kou was doing everything possible to hunt down and kill an old Taoist priest of a Taoist temple, intending to snatch a priceless treasure in the Taoist temple. After in-depth investigation, Long Zhantian learned that what the wolf robbed was a jade plate, as for why he chased after him and tried every possible way to win the jade plate, Long Zhantian did not know. However, Long Zhantian was leading his troops to fight guerrilla warfare at that time, and this group of Japanese pirates was well-equipped and well-fed, so how could Long Zhantian not eat the fat meat sent to his territory? So he led a company of soldiers to launch an ambush against this group of Japanese pirates. Fortunately, at this time, Xu Qianli also led people to ambush this group of Japanese robbers, but the people led by Xu Qianli were only a small force, and Long Zhantian and Xu Qianli's men and horses soon suffered heavy losses. Later, the two cooperated and finally wiped out the Japanese bandits, but the team led by the two was almost wiped out, and only the two survived. At that time, the old Taoist priest was seriously injured and was already dying. At the time of danger, the old Taoist priest handed over the jade plate and sandalwood box to Long Zhantian for preservation. The old Taoist priest did not have the opportunity to explain too much about the origin of the jade plate, but only said that this jade plate was a key that could open another world. Just as the old Taoist priest was breathing, Xu Qianli also found the place where the old Taoist priest and Long Zhantian were. However, seeing that Long Zhantian had already obtained the jade medal, Xu Qianli had no choice but to give up. A few years later, the two reunited, Xu Qianli asked Long Zhantian about the jade plate delivered by the old Taoist, but Long Zhantian pretended that the jade plate had been lost in a siege by the Japanese invaders, and he later searched everywhere, but did not find it. Xu Qianli heard Long Zhantian say this, so he had no choice but to stop mentioning the matter. In the following years, Xu Qianli never mentioned the jade card to Long Zhantian again.

Long Zhantian stared at the jade plaque that he had studied for decades for a long time, sighed, and put the jade plaque into the sandalwood box and put it back into the dark compartment.

Regarding the origin of this jade plate, Long Zhantian had tried every possible way to investigate, but he had no clue. Ten years ago, he finally found a clue from a folklore.

Legend has it that there is a big mountain on the coast of the East China Sea, the mountain is 10,000 meters high, and behind the mountain is the blissful fairyland, which is called the fairy world of the ruins. It is said that there was originally a passage between the fairy world and the human world, but an accident more than a thousand years ago caused the people of the fairy world to close the passage, leaving only the only key in the human world to restart the fairy world channel. Therefore, there is no shortage of people with good deeds who have searched for this mountain on the coast of the East China Sea, but hundreds of years have passed without finding it. Later, with the development of science and technology, human aircraft were able to take off, and after the launch of satellites, they were able to observe the earth from space, but there was no sign of this 10,000-meter mountain, so modern people really regarded this legend as a legend.

"Xu Qianli is quite deep in the city, and when he abandoned a team of people and horses and went straight to the Japanese and the old Taoist priest, it is estimated that he knows some of the circumstances of this jade plate. However, he has been standing still all these years, and he and I have nothing to do with each other, and it is only now that he has begun to deal with my Long family, and in this era of peace, I really can't find any reasonable explanation. Long Zhantian walked out of the dark room and came to the study, pacing non-stop. "Could it be that Xu Qianli is not giving up, and is still playing the idea of this piece and shooting? However, even if it is for the sake of the jade plate, he can rob and steal openly, and he will not attack my Long family?"

"The Xu family can almost compete with my Long family in all fields of politics and economy, does he Xu Qianli want to stand alone? But in this era of peace and democracy, what is the point?" Long Zhantian was puzzled.

Xu Qianli and Long Zhantian are the same age, and now they are already dying, and their days are numbered. If Xu Qianli makes a big move against the Long family at this time, it will inevitably cause the government and the opposition to shake up and down. At this time when the Internet is unprecedentedly developed, it is impossible for Xu Qianli to block everyone's mouths, no matter what the outcome of the battle between the two tigers is, to a large extent, Xu Qianli of the Xu family will not be able to protect the future. In this regard, Long Zhantian has always been puzzled.

"Could it be that this old horseman has ever done it?" Suddenly, Long Zhantian recalled several thefts many years ago.

In the decades after Long Zhantian got the jade plate, there were five thefts in the Long family, but the strange thing is that none of the valuables were lost, but some of the jewelry that Long Zhantian gave to his deceased wife was stolen.

"That's true!" Long Zhantian slapped his head, it turned out that Xu Qianli, the old guy, had been a thief for decades, and now he still had to do it in his old age, it was estimated that he had not obtained the jade medal for decades, and it was difficult to swallow a breath of resentment in his heart.
