After saying these words, Li Yu looked at Chu Jingchuan with a somewhat complicated expression. After hesitating for a few breaths, he said solemnly, "As the head of a noble family, do you really view the noble family like this?"
"What's wrong?" Chu Jingchuan raised the corner of his mouth and sarcastically glanced at Li Yu condescendingly, but quickly turned his gaze away, still looking at the wormwood field, and said to himself, "Since we are setting up the archway, Logically speaking, we should not cover it up and use grand words to deceive the people all day long. Do you, Brother Li, believe it?"
"On the surface, it is said that the Immortal Family on the mountain is talking to the whole world. Think about it, how many Immortal Family Mountain Gates are there in the entire Yizhang? And look at how many aristocratic families there are?" It seems that he has put aside the huge stone that has been accumulated in his heart for a long time. Chu Jingchuan's words at this moment did not leave any room for change. He smiled disdainfully and said, "Just one county in Xijun is enough to make the entire Yizhang Immortal family have nearly ten families behind them. Is it possible that the Immortal Master will die all day long?" Abandon your spiritual practice and chat with the world all day long?"
"Based on my brother's knowledge, my heart has been like a bright mirror for a long time. However, after being in the cage for too long, I regarded this cage as the clear sky. I clearly know the current situation, but I have never mentioned it until now."
The head of the Chu family still looked idle, with his face half raised, squinting his eyes to look at the city gate plaque, "If you ask me, the presence of the aristocratic family is good for the world, but the absence of the aristocratic family may be a bad thing for you and me. , but for the common people, it is a better thing."
Li Yu was dejected.
No matter how you think about it, Chu Jingchuan's words actually make sense. When the family first established itself, they were speaking on behalf of the Immortal Family. In the final analysis, they were just attendants of the Immortal Family, but generations of family members have worked hard to manage it for thousands of years. In the past, they have accumulated a huge amount of information, not to mention comparable to ordinary high-level families. Many aristocratic families have been powerful for many years. Regardless of the financial resources or books and classics in the treasury, they can be said to be able to overwhelm half of a country. They no longer belong to the Immortal Family. Used.
"Although the aristocratic families like you and me in the city are strictly prohibited from imitating the actions of others to avoid overtly or covertly colluding with bandits for personal gain, I can't see how a mere piece of family rules can really lock people's hearts; if If the county governor makes up his mind to conduct a strict investigation, even the Li family and the Chu family will probably be able to find a lot of things that have slipped through the net, let alone other aristocratic families that are rotten from top to bottom."
After a long time, Li Yu sighed deeply and found a place with overgrown grass to sit cross-legged. "I have never heard anyone say this before. At least I didn't expect it to come from the mouth of the leader of the Chu family. Look at this formation. It's really... Have you decided to step down as the head of the family?"
"When you have nothing to do, you will be able to return to nature." Chu Jingchuan jumped off the wall and glanced at the wormwood bushes with a gloomy expression, "Looking at his age, it's time for Youlin to take power. You can't call him Running to Shedelou all day long seems to be like a playboy's upbringing, and it will be even more troublesome in the future. But before that, I still need to use the Li Family Tingfeng Tower."
Li Yu almost without thinking, grabbed a handful of wet soil and threw it at the door in front of Chujingchuan, angrily scolding, "I knew you had a lot of bad water in your belly early, but I didn't expect that you wanted to hit my Li family Tingfengtai." , just stop this thought as soon as possible."
The Li Family Tingfeng Tower can be said to be a rare majestic sight in the capital of Xijun. It had been built as early as when Emperor Quan first took over. It was built with huge cloud-patterned stones from all directions. It took an unknown amount of manpower and financial resources to finally erect a tower in the capital of Xijun. The platform has a height of nearly 100 feet. Time has changed and the Li family has experienced ups and downs several times, but this wind listening platform has always stood on the back hill outside the city. Although it has experienced several earthquakes, torrential rains and mud and stone erosion over the years, it has always remained unchanged. As before.
Until many years later, this Tingfeng Tower became a place where the head of the family discussed secret matters with others. The surrounding area was empty, and there was no place to hide for those who were looking for opportunities to spy. Furthermore, it was almost a hundred feet high, even if it was against the Li family. A member of the family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate him, but it was difficult to succeed on a steep and high platform.
"We have been friends for many years, but I still refuse to use it even if I borrow it. It's just a stone platform with a cramped place to sit on. You really can listen to the wind and learn the Tao. It's very stingy to live such a long life in vain." Chu Jingchuan is naturally very fast. , only slightly swaying, he avoided the wet soil flying from Li Yu's hand, curled his lips and shouted, "If the elder of the Li family refuses, then I will make my own decision and give it to Xiongtai for the entire Goulan Street of the capital. How about going up high for a while?"
Most people in the capital know that the long street with hooks and railings that Chu Jingchuan mentioned is only a little further away from the main street in the city. It is said that every inch of land is very valuable, but it is somewhat lacking. The whole long street is noisy and luxurious all day long, and the money earned , needless to say.
Li Yu originally grabbed the wet soil again and was about to smash it on Chu Jingchuan's increasingly elegant face. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Chu, this is not a joke. This is a serious matter." Big, bypassing the clan elders is not a simple matter, let alone the profitable Yizi Goulan Street, do you really have the power to make the decision?"
"Chu Jingchuan's virtue has never been so bad." The man waved his hand and grinned, "In the final analysis, those clan elders are just old rotten wooden piles who are just hanging on and relying on the service of others. I can naturally make the decision on how much of my youthful ability and ability I have left, so don’t worry.”
With the skill of talking, hundreds of horses entered the city.
The soldiers guarding the city had not seen the cavalry for many years, so they immediately thought that there was an enemy invasion. The guards on the city tower hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, and the soldiers below the city tower were also in a panic. It didn't take much effort to almost cover all the city gates. He asked sternly, "Please stay here if you come. If you continue to make progress, you will inevitably lose your life."
Hundreds of cavalry formations suddenly reined in their horses and rolled into waves, almost rising to the sky.
"You little pawns, your eyesight is really bad," a horse walked slowly out of the dust. The lean captain blew the dust off his armor, frowned and raised his head and cursed, "With these moves, I can... Before the suspension bridge in the city was even hoisted, they went to the city gate tower and chopped off the heads of you rabble to fill the river. Not to mention tens of thousands of cavalry pressing forward. If you can even hold up a stick of incense, it is regarded as the manifestation of your ancestors' virtues and protection. Junior.”
But even though they were yelling for a long time, and the smoke lingered behind them, none of the hundreds of riders made any unnecessary movements. They were as quiet as iron, with only the snorting of the horses rising and falling.
Although the guard general was unhappy, he was still frightened when he saw the strength of the old soldiers behind the captain. He immediately passed on the message, opened the city gate to let people go, and took the time to respond, "Captain Jia is out for a trip. He is much more sharp-tongued. I have killed so many bandits. If I can’t claim the credit, I will lose a lot of face.”
