The Shi family has long since lost its glory more than two hundred years after the founding of Dayu, but the fact that the Shi family can survive in such a cruel environment is enough to show that it has its own terrifying qualities.
The Shi family made great contributions to the wars with Emperor Taizu before Dayu was founded. Several of the battles were won under the command of the ancestor of the Shi family.
Shi Xianfeng has always kept a low profile and has been forgotten by many people. Now he chose to agree to Mo Wutong and Chen Zhuo's request, but it was actually because his inner paranoia had reached a certain level.
No one understands his reasons. Some people think that he wants to restore the glory because of the decline of the Shi family. Some people think that he has huge ambitions. Some people think that he just wants to take the opportunity to seize the throne.
Only he and the Shi family know how determined he is. Two months later, the Shi family. Shi Xianfeng summoned the entire clan to gather for discussion. Now the total number of prime-year men in the Shi family is only thirty or fifty.
But today, even children are wearing well-fitting armor. It's no big deal that the men are wearing armor, but all the old, weak, women and children of the Shi family are also wearing armor, which is extremely shocking.
The seventy-year-old woman was meticulously tied with armor and ribbons, and the six-year-old naughty boy was also holding a sharp knife.
"More than two hundred years ago." Shi Xianfeng looked at the tribesmen with determination in his eyes.
"Our ancestors led 600 children of the Shi family to conquer the east and west with Emperor Taizu. It took 13 years for Dayu to establish the country. By the time the world was settled, more than 600 people from the Shi family went to war, and only 11 people survived."
"Emperor Taizu once said that the Shi family will not let down the Xie family, and the Xie family will never let down the Shi family. But our ancestors swore that from then on, the Shi family would disband and return to their fields."
"For more than two hundred years, no matter what outsiders think about the Shi family, the Shi family has always adhered to the instructions of their ancestors. When the country is not in danger, the Shi family will not leave. When the country is in great danger, the Shi family will go into battle."
"Emperor Taizu's lineage has been plotted by treacherous ministers more than thirty years ago, so that the throne has fallen. At that time, my father wanted to lead the whole family out to kill the thieves. However, in anger, he practiced kung fu and went crazy. I... When I was young, I had a lot of ambition but not enough strength.”
"To this day, although I haven't achieved great success in practicing martial arts, I have the ability to serve the country and the ambition to help. Today I will follow the example of my ancestors and lead the whole clan on an expedition." He said this and looked at the clansmen: "I have investigated and learned that, Today, the lineage of the late emperor is still inherited in Fulin County, Donghai."
"Today I am going on an expedition. I will use the power of the traitors to raise an army. Rebellion against the ministers and the party is harmful to the country, and my Shi family only has the ambition to serve the country."
"The thief wanted to make me the leader, but I refused on the surface, but in fact it was just what I wanted. I took advantage of the thief's power to kill the thief and restore the great jade to the world."
"When the situation is complete, I will personally lead the army to Fulin County to welcome the young master and restore the throne to the throne... You are all my relatives to this day, and you should serve the country with me!"
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!" Hundreds of people from the Shi family, old and young, shouted in unison.
"Children under ten years old will be taken by elders over sixty years old to Mo Ling's hometown for temporary refuge. If we succeed, we will be reunited. If unfortunately we fail, the Shi family's inheritance will never be destroyed."
"Today I can't kill the thief to repay Emperor Taizu's favor. My descendants will definitely live up to their ambitions in the future." Having said this, Shi Xianfeng lifted his robe and knelt down on the ground, facing the long-haired men with gray beards. The elders kowtowed, and although the elders had tears in their eyes, none of them spoke against it.
They all held their heads high, and there was no trace of sadness in their eyes.
"Leave it to us to serve the country, and leave the inheritance of the Shi family to you." Shi Xianfeng kowtowed and stood up, tying a white scarf around his neck. Everyone also took out the white scarf and put it on one by one.
"Our ancestors led 600 tribesmen on expeditions. They also wore the white turban symbol of our tribe in this way. After repeated battles, the white turban turned into a red turban."
"The white scarf is for the clan's flag, the red scarf is for the glory!" Everyone raised their arms and shouted along with him!
"According to the plan, all clan members will sneak into Geling in batches and wait. Remember, without my order, no matter who tells you to do something, you don't need to pay attention. The Shi family only fights for Taizu!"
"Yes!" Hundreds of people in the Shi family agreed in unison. On this day, the Shi family's elders over sixty years old left the mansion with their children under ten years old. They also returned in batches to their hometown in Moling, thousands of miles away.
Shi Xianfeng, on the other hand, led hundreds of tribesmen to disperse, heading towards Ge Ling in teams of two or three. At the same time, Sucheng thanked the family.
Xie Biyu stood next to an old man with a somewhat frightened expression. He just felt that if he failed the Xie family, wouldn't he be a sinner through the ages?
Just now, this old man with white beard and hair passed the title of head of the Xie family to him. Bypassing his predecessor, he gave it directly to him.
Although this old man has never been an official, he naturally has the aura of calmness and authority when he is in charge of the world's best business.
"The Xie family in Sucheng suffered humiliation two hundred years ago. Isn't it the same in the past two hundred years?" The old man said in a loud voice: "At that time, the Xie family in Sucheng also worked hard and shed blood to conquer the world for Dayu. But just because we are not from the same lineage as the Xie family of Geling, we were pushed out of the imperial court in the end, and no one became an official."
"In this world, the people of the Xie family in Geling can fight, but the people of the Xie family in Sucheng can't fight?" The old man reading the book glanced at everyone: "You all know that I helped Liu Tingsheng with countless money and food before, but that Liu Tingsheng turned out to be a You are a piece of trash who was beaten to pieces before you even accomplished anything."
"After all, this matter is a serious problem for my Xie family. If the court investigates, the Xie family will be destroyed. So we will turn against this big jade!" He paused for a moment and continued: "The Xie family has no other skills. They can do business, and the business is done. In the whole world, we have many people and a lot of money. The Xie family of Geling looks down on us, the court also looks down on us, and even the wealthy nobles look down on us."
"But we just want to fight to be number one in the world!"
"It's the turn of the Xie family in Su City to be the best family in the world!" At this point, he looked at Xie Bian and said, "This time we are all-in. This is never a choice that businessmen should have, but since we choose Okay, then keep going."
"I've spent all my wealth. How many people in the world can resist such a temptation? If you want money, I'll give you money. If you want treasures, I'll give you treasures. I just want them to be willing to fight for their lives." He pulled Xie Bi's hand. His hand went to the edge of the high platform, and the other finger pointed down at the dark crowd below.
"Look, isn't this the momentum of the No. 1 clan in the world?" Xie Biyu's heart surged when he was told that. He nodded vigorously and said, "My grandson will definitely lead the Xie family in Sucheng to the top of that family in one breath!" The people below were all equally excited.
As for Haining County, which is about 1,600 miles away from Su City, everyone in the Yao family who can speak is also in the meeting hall.
The patriarch was sitting in the middle. He looked at Yao Guangyao and asked: "What do you think is the chance of winning this desperate matter? Don't exaggerate, I want to listen to the truth." Yao Guangyao leaned over slightly and replied: "Actually, even if every family has Even if we try our best, the odds of winning are only two or three points. Fortunately, there are still two or three points." The patriarch nodded and said: "The people on the Shi family side can't be trusted. I always feel that the Shi family seems to have other agendas. The people of the Xie family in Sucheng are just a bunch of people who think that a little money can change their destiny? It’s just a joke."
"So when you go out this time, although I will give you all the best members of the clan, you still need to be careful and discuss everything with the Chen family. Only the Chen family is careful enough." Yao Guangyao said: "I Look, it’s better to spread out the clan members as much as possible now. If things work out, there will be a guarantee." The clan leader said, "I will arrange it myself." Yao Guangyao said, "People from the Shi family cannot be trusted, and people from the Xie family cannot be trusted. The people of the Chen family... can only be watched as a weather vane, so I plan to take only half of them." The patriarch thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine." He stood up with crutches, and Yao Guangyao hurriedly stepped forward. Hold on.
"The Yao family has always known themselves. If this thing cannot be done, the best we can do is to give up the family business that has been owned for hundreds of years, but the Yao family will not die."
"It's done. With our Yao family's foundation and strength, we can't compete for the highest benefits. After you take people out, you have to assess the situation. If something goes wrong, life is more important than anything else. Do you understand? Yao Guangyao said: "Don't worry, I won't have to do anything else." The clan leader took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
"Use only seven percent of your strength in everything. This is the ancestral motto of the Yao family. Just remember it all the time. I won't explain much else...go." Yao Guangyao leaned over and bowed: "Ancestors bless you!" Everyone At the same time, he leaned forward and said, "Ancestors bless you." At the same time, Ge Ling.
Chen Zhuo was sitting by the window on the second floor of a restaurant and had been in a daze for a while, watching the people coming and going on the street.
Unlike other families who were looking for work elsewhere, he arrived at Geling early to wait and see.
In particular, he must see clearly how powerful those people in Shangyang Palace Fengyu Temple are. Mo Wutong has already taken him to meet Chen Weiwei, and his cultivation in the God-endowed realm can indeed give people a sense of security.
What he had to do next was to continue to wait and see until things really happened as Mo Wutong said.
He had also heard a lot of rumors during his stay in Geling, and even the common people knew that His Majesty might not be able to sit on the throne for long.
So this matter made Chen Zhuo a little uneasy. Normally, there are only two possibilities for spreading the word before something happens.
First, the Supreme Saint was very confident, and he publicized it in advance so that there wouldn't be such a big disturbance when his son won the throne.
Secondly, the Supreme Sage did this on purpose, just to attract some restless people. Based on Chen Zhuo's speculation on the character of the Supreme Saint, the possibility of the latter is much greater than the former.
Therefore, Chen Zhuo has never made up his mind about this matter. The Chen family actually started to disperse people secretly a few months ago.
Who would really go all-in? Chen Zhuo thought... there are some, but they are not the Chen family, at least not Chen Weiwei's Chen family.
Chen Weiwei is desperate, especially after meeting Chen Weiwei, Chen Zhuo's judgment on this person is more accurate.
This person, more than just wants to be the master of Shangyang Palace? However, this person is very ambitious but lacks ability, and he has a high level of cultivation and a bad brain.
If such a person could really achieve great things, the Chen family would have been a royal family for many years. But this kind of person is paranoid, and paranoid people are easy to take advantage of.
Just when he was thinking about this, Mo Wutong's voice came from behind him. In fact, Chen Zhuo had already noticed that Mo Wutong was coming, but he deliberately didn't turn around to greet him.
Mo Wutong walked up to Chen Zhuo with a smile: "Mr. Chen is very interested." Chen Zhuo said: "I'm not very interested, it's just boring and boring." Mo Wutong said: "I have an interesting thing. I don't know what Chen Zhuo said. Do you want to hear it?" Chen Zhuo said: "Mr. Mo came here to tell me this interesting story. If I don't let you tell it, can you really not tell it?" Mo Wutong laughed sarcastically and said, "I was with the audience yesterday. After discussing it for a long time, Master Guanzhu suddenly mentioned something. If this matter is done well, it will be a great good thing for Mr. Chen and the Master." Chen Zhuo did not answer, just waiting for Mo Wutong to say it himself. Go down.
Mo Wutong said: "Master Guanzhu created the magical skill of rebirth from the fire. After practicing it, his strength has improved far beyond other skills. If Mr. Chen is willing to try it, Master Guanzhu is also willing to share this magical skill." Chen Zhuo frowned, Then he snorted coldly: "Mr. Mo, do you really think that I can't find out about those bloody things in Fengyu Temple?" He looked at Mo Wutong and said seriously: "If Mr. Mo comes back to play any tricks again, I would like to teach Mr. Mo a lesson." The Chen family's cultivation techniques." Mo Wutong looked ugly.
The closer the day came, the more abnormal Chen Zhuo's attitude became, which made Mo Wutong feel a little uneasy, always feeling that the Chen family might be a double-edged sword.
At this moment, a gong sound suddenly came from the street. They looked over and saw government officials posting notices along the street.
Now that the day has been set, we will patrol the north for winter anchorage in April next year.
