In the Lord's Mansion of the Free Territory, Man Chong has just finished handling the government affairs at hand. These days, the entire Free Territory feels like a storm is coming, and because it is late summer and preparations for the autumn harvest have begun, it is even busier than usual. .
Man Chong walked up to the eaves of the lobby, rubbed his forehead and looked up at the hot and poisonous sun and murmured: "You are alone in the treacherous whirlpool, my lord, you must hold on!"
At this time, a small official came in a hurry and said: "Chief! Mao Jie, Yu Jin, Liao Hua and other adults want to see you!"
Man Chong looked at the sky outside, the sun was about to set, and it was already time to rest. He whispered meaningfully: "Are they finally unable to sit still? Whether the free leader is a dragon or a tiger depends on this! Lord, are you really Dare to let go!" Man Chong took a deep breath, his eyes showing firmness. He was the first historical general to follow Qin Ge. He and Qin Ge jointly founded the Free Territory, and he had already had a spiritual connection with Qin Ge.
Man Chong thought of all the past events. The Free Territory had developed from a small village back then to a town that could meet the standards for promotion to the county seat. This step by step was all the result of Man Chong's hard work, and the Free Territory had long been It became his most cherished thing, and he would sacrifice everything for the sake of freedom.
Man Chong looked sideways at the gathering place of the Qin family and murmured: "I have already issued a warning to the Qin family. I hope the Qin family will make the right choice, otherwise I will have to remove this cancer for my lord!" Man Chong acted with iron blood. He is ruthless, but he has been in charge of the administration of the territory on a daily basis. Many people have forgotten that when the Free Territory was first established, Man Chong, as the commander-in-chief, personally led the soldiers into battle and fought bloody battles with his sword. He crawled out from the pile of corpses!
…
The Qin Clan Ancestral Hall has now become the most prosperous area in the Free Territory, and the Qin Clan Ancestral Hall has also become the landmark building of the Free Territory. Today, the Qin Clan members gathered in the ancestral hall, with Qin Fuguan sitting at the head, and the Qin Clan elders lined up in succession. On the left side, Qin Fuhuo and other important relatives of the Qin family sit on the right side, and in front sit the children of various families.
"Re-fire! Don't be sullen in the forge all day. You should also pay more attention to the affairs within the clan. Now our Qin clan is at a critical moment of life and death. You can't always let us old people worry about everything, big and small. You should also ask about it!" A clan elder said angrily as he stared at Qin Fuhuo, who had his head lowered and remained silent. Nowadays, there are many talents in the Free Territory, and the glory of the Qin family's children has long been eclipsed. Only Qin Fuhuo leads the forge. And with Qin Ge acquiring the military forge of the imperial court, the forge has now become the backbone of the Free Territory. Industry, Qin Fuhuo's status has grown rapidly, and he is the most influential person in the Free Territory among the Qin family's fathers.
"What a critical moment of life and death! It's just suspicion and suspicion! Jiwu and Jizong have done a good job in holding important positions. I think everyone should stop worrying about what to do!" Qin Fuhuo was a little impatient. He said, if the clan elders had not jointly convened a clan meeting, he would not have bothered to pay attention to these troublesome matters.
"Hmph! Count on them! Our Qin family has been doomed a long time ago! Today's young people have been led astray by Boxi, and they have begun to disrespect their elders! In this clan meeting, why haven't any of the direct descendants of the successor generation arrived yet? This is simply contempt for us elders. If we, the older generation, hadn't been worrying about you day and night, you would have helped count the money after being sold! Our Qin family has now reached a critical moment of life and death, and you are still so undisciplined. The Qin family is really incompetent now. What a mess!" A clan elder pointed angrily at Qin Fuhuo and almost yelled!
Qin Fuhuo looked at the trembling clan elder, frowned and said: "The Qin family is going to die! Where did you hear this? Jiwu, Jizong, Jiben, Jixue, Jili Wenwu have Success has far surpassed that of our fathers, and they are all in key positions in the Free Territory. They have begun to awaken the blood of the Qin family. More than 20 children such as Jizhong and Jixiao have also reached the peak of gold. This is simply unparalleled in the past of the Qin family. Zhuang Shi couldn't imagine that in the past, it would take decades for someone in the clan to step into the third tier and awaken the bloodline of the Qin family. But now, it's not just me. My Jixiao family is expected to step into the third tier within the next few years and have the ability to awaken the ancestral bloodline. Potential, this is simply the glory of the ancestors, how could the Qin family be destroyed! During this period, Boxi was deeply trapped in Luoyang, and many evolvers and Yanzhou nobles were eyeing the Free Territory. Boxi happened to be away at this time, and we should cooperate with you all to protect it. The unity of the good territory, if the Qin family takes the initiative to stir up trouble now, the Free Territory will be attacked from both sides, and I am afraid that it is really not far from being destroyed..."
Before Qin Fuhuo finished speaking, several clan elders interrupted him rudely and said angrily: "The Free Territory belongs to the Qin family. When will it be our turn to rely on others, it is precisely because of your weakness. This has led to the current situation in the Free Territory. Man Chong controls the politics of the Free Territory with one hand, and Mao Jie is in charge of personnel appointments and dismissals. In terms of military affairs, the newcomer Yu Jin is even more powerful. And Liao Hua is just a yellow turban bandit, he can do it all. He alone controls an army! Boxi cannot protect himself now. If something unexpected happens, our Qin family must control the free territory, otherwise we will be annihilated by these foreigners. Now Man Chong is openly trying and imprisoning my descendants of the Qin family. This is what happened Demonstrating against us is also a sign of taking action against the Qin family! If we do not unite to attack the arrogance of these foreigners, our family will die without a place to bury them!"
Qin Furhuo's brows jumped and he said: "Bo Xi once took justice into his own hands! No matter who commits a crime in the free land, he will be severely punished! Qin Furong and the others secretly resold Dongyue suits, committed corruption and enriched their own pockets. According to the law of freedom, they should be sentenced Twenty years later, the Mandarin gave them five hundred sticks and three days in public at Caishikou. They were sentenced to five years in prison because of their past military exploits. These two people have brought shame on our Qin family. I suggest that they be expelled from the Qin family. Clan, execute the punishment of extermination within the clan as a warning to others! Recently, there have been a lot of rumors, sowing discord between the Qin family and the generals of the Free Leader. I think some people have ulterior motives. Clan uncle, you must not be fooled by others. Take advantage of it!" The penalty of breaking the line is the most stringent clan law in the clan system besides the death penalty. It expels the clan members from the clan, and the meaning of breaking the line is to cut off the continuation of the blood line. After expelling them from the clan, the family blood will not leak out. !
This kind of punishment is too destructive to people's bodies and minds. Many people would rather accept the death penalty than suffer such a life-threatening punishment! This punishment has not been used since the Qin family fled to Taishan County and established Qinjiazhuang. When Qin Ge was rebuilding the ancestral code, he also felt that this punishment was too inhumane and was about to abolish it. However, he was dissuaded by his uncle in the clan, which was under the clan system. With deep-rooted thoughts, Qin Ge had no choice but to include it in the clan punishment, and put it in the second level of clan punishment after death. This punishment can only be carried out if he kills his fellow clansmen and commits all kinds of evil!
After hearing this, an elder of the clan said angrily: "Fu Huo! It's okay if you don't think about the clan, but instead add insult to injury! Fu Rong made great achievements in the Yellow Turban War. Every time there was a fierce battle, he didn't charge forward, in order to protect the territory. He only broke his legs because he wanted to cure the disease and embezzled five hundred taels of gold to make a living. Compared with his military exploits and the two lost legs, it was nothing at all. If it weren't for our Qin family, the freedom of the people would have been long ago. It has become a ruin. Man Chong clearly wants to use the power of the Free Territory to suppress our Qin clan while Boxi is away! If we don't fight back at this time, we will be in trouble!"
At this time, the door opened, and Qin Jiwu led dozens of descendants of the Qin family into the hall. However, Qin Jiwu, Qin Jizong, and Qin Jiben led the way, leading a group of martial arts disciples wearing armor and holding weapons. , his eyes were unusually cold. Qin Jili, Qin Jixue and other Xiwen disciples were dressed in official uniforms. They walked in with great steps, giving people a full sense of oppression.
After not seeing him for several months, Qin Jiwu's body suddenly grew in size. He was as strong as a giant bear, with thick beards growing out of his face. His exposed hands were also covered with black body hair, and he was paired with a pair of deep hair. The eyes, as well as the blood shield that is like a door panel, give people a mountain-like sense of oppression. This is when Qin Jiwu's cultivation reaches a certain level, the Qin family's bloodline is activated, and the body undergoes secondary development. At the same time, it is also Because he had just awakened the power of his bloodline and was not yet able to master this power, his body experienced changes.
Qin Jizong and Qin Jiben were not as exaggerated as Qin Jiwu, but they had strange tattoos on their faces and bodies, which was a sign that their bloodline was beginning to awaken, but it was just a sign that it had not yet awakened. Qin Jiwu was the first person in the Qin family to awaken his bloodline in hundreds of years, so he was particularly valued in the clan. Besides Qin Ge, he was the most prestigious in the Qin family. Qin Jiwu came to the hall with a group of disciples and stood with arms folded. His whole body was like a mountain. His momentum even made some clan elders breathless.
Before Qin Ge left, he asked Ren Jun to take control of the troops in Laiwu and Gaixian, Liao Hua as his deputy in charge of military affairs on the northeastern front line, and Yu Jin reorganized the Taishan Army, and asked Qin Jiwu as his deputy in charge of military affairs on the southwest line of defense. Of course, Qin Ge also had selfish motives. He asked Qin Jiwu, Qin Jiben, Qin Jizong and other elite Qin clan disciples to follow Yu Jin. He wanted to take the opportunity to let them follow Yu Jin and learn how to lead troops in battle, so that they could grow up quickly following famous generals. Of course, this was also the reason for the elders of the Qin clan. They are very reluctant. In their opinion, Qin Jizong and others are already the pride of heaven. Why should they be subordinated to Yu Jin and the Yu clan people to attack them? Moreover, most of the elite children of the Qin family fall under the jurisdiction of Jin. Many people are Subordinated to the Yu Jin clan, the Yu family has become more and more influential in the free leadership army, which makes the Qin clan's elders psychologically unbalanced!
Of course, the effect of Qin Ge's arrangement is also obvious. Qin Jiwu has grown rapidly. Whether it is marching, fighting or martial arts cultivation, now that Qin Jiwu's bloodline has awakened, he can even fight against third-rate historical generals, and Qin Jiwu, who awakened for the first time, now has a third-rate The qualifications of a famous historical general show his rapid growth.
The clan elder looked at the descendants of the Qin family who were like tigers and wolves, and suddenly became more confident and said: "We want those with foreign surnames to know that the Qin family is the master of the free territory!"
