A man wearing a black training suit, with a dark face and exaggerated muscles that seemed to tear the suit to pieces, respectfully reported in the hall:
"Master, in accordance with your instructions, I have ordered that all industries involved in severe crackdowns be suspended. All disciples from the outer sect must hide their capabilities and bide their time. They will not conduct any activities for this period of time, and..."
"Well, you did a good job." The patriarch of the Zhuge family, who was sitting in the position of the head of the family, was an old man who seemed to be over fifty, but had a rosy face and full of silver hair. He took a sip of tea and responded lightly.
Zhuge Hong is a legend. He seems to be just over fifty, but in fact he is already ninety years old. The Zhuge family's current status in troubled times is all due to his efforts.
One of the several old men who were sitting quietly aside immediately asked in confusion:
"Isn't this a bit extreme? If the business is closed, it will not only be a loss of a lot of profits, but also a major blow to our reputation. Besides, our Zhuge family has not been affected. It is very likely that this operation did not offend our Zhuge family at all. intention."
"But I didn't get any information. Do you really think this is a coincidence?" Zhuge Hong raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, shining with a terrifying light that made people dare not look directly.
"But this will result in a loss of a lot of money, and it will also have a major impact on our Zhuge family."
"Master, are you a friend of yours when you were young?"
"Yes, Patriarch, when you were young, you had many friends. Perhaps some old friendship happened to save a Zhuge family this time."
Even the elders of the Zhuge family are still respectful when they speak.
Zhuge Hong has the supreme status in the Zhuge family.
"Haha." Zhuge Hong smiled softly, with a kind of light called wisdom shining in his somewhat cloudy eyes, and said: "This is also very possible, but this is not the key. The Shangguan family, the Situ family, and the Dongfang family Everyone has been affected, but our family and the Ouyang family are the only ones not affected. Think about it carefully, what happened recently?"
A group of people below were deep in thought. They were thinking about what Zhuge Hong meant.
Strategy, talent, resourcefulness!
The Zhuge family is definitely ahead of other major aristocratic families. Most of the outside world is guessing where they inherited it. Of course, these speculations are not all rumors.
A group of people discussed and whispered among themselves, and soon settled on an answer: "Xinyue Hotel?"
What happened at the Xinyue Hotel has attracted everyone's attention. These days, we have heard the most and understood the most.
"But does Xinyue Hotel have anything to do with this national anti-pornography and anti-gang campaign?"
In fact, the Dragon Kingdom has carried out these actions in previous years, but they will never touch the power of the Guwu family. They will say hello and take care of things in advance.
But as usual this year, and this is a sudden attack, it is not an anti-pornography or anti-gang operation.
It was such a sudden attack that many ancient martial arts families suffered heavy losses.
Once the capital chain is seriously broken, it may lead to the collapse of a large group.
The same is true for the Guwu family. Money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.
Even if the Zhuge family was not affected, they still directly closed these places. Although it would lead to the loss of some benefits, it would also prevent them from becoming the next target. If so, it would also be a major blow to the Zhuge family.
"Hongying, come out." Zhuge Hong suddenly said.
A figure slowly walked out from the back of the ancestral hall. He was slender and a little thin. He held a bamboo fan in his hand and exuded an elegant atmosphere.
He walked up to Zhuge Hong and bowed respectfully: "Master of the family."
"Talk to them." Zhuge Hong waved his hand. As soon as he finished speaking, his originally red face suddenly turned red and he coughed violently.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Master, how are you?"
"Medicine, get the medicine quickly!"
In an instant, the expressions of the people in the entire ancestral hall changed dramatically, with serious expressions on their faces and loud shouts.
Zhuge Hongying tiptoed and appeared next to Zhuge Hong in an instant, holding his back: "Xiao Ming, bring the medicine!"
"Grandpa, the medicine is here!" The burly Zhuge Ming rushed in from outside like a gust of wind, hurriedly opened the small wooden box in his hand, and fed Zhuge Hong to take a longan-sized pill.
Zhuge Hongying's face was equally ugly at this time, and she was carefully feeding her tea.
"It's okay!" Zhuge Hong's face regained some color and he waved his hand tiredly.
But Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Hongying felt much heavier when they saw the dazzling blood red and sticky blood clots on Zhuge Hong's palm.
"The effect of the medicine is getting smaller and smaller, and the time it takes to take effect is getting shorter and shorter." Zhuge Hongying wiped the blood on Zhuge Hong's palm with a handkerchief and whispered.
"We must get the deer live grass, otherwise Grandpa." Zhuge Ming, a burly eight-foot-tall man, had his eyes a little red at this time. He was holding the wooden box where the pills had just been stored, showing a sign of excessive force. of fair skin.
Boom!
"Nonsense!" Zhuge Hong slapped the table and glared at Zhuge Ming beside him.
thump!
Zhuge Ming knelt directly on the ground, but he bit his mouth tightly, without saying a word, with determination.
Zhuge Hong's body seemed to be still strong and healthy, but in fact, he had already run out of fuel and energy. If it hadn't been for the trouble that happened to three of the five families this time, which was so abnormal, he would not have appeared in the ancestral hall to preside over it.
When he was young, he worked hard, was brave and aggressive, and even tore apart Japanese soldiers from Sakura Kingdom. He had no less than fifty wounds on his body, many of which were fatal, leaving hidden diseases.
It can be said to be a miracle that he can live to the age of ninety, and he can only survive with Dabu Pills made from dozens of precious herbs from the Zhuge family. He may belch and ascend to heaven at any time.
This time the Zhuge family went to Xinyue Hotel, apparently just for the deer live grass, which was used as an introduction to the main medicine.
In fact, they were not sure about getting deer live grass.
After all, the prescription they got was not only incomplete, but also contained more than just deer live grass. The most important thing was that Zhuge Hong's life span was exhausted. This was not a normal injury, but a hidden disease.
He is old and frail, and even if he can be cured, his lifespan is almost exhausted and he will not live long.
And it’s likely that it can’t be cured, and it’s likely that you’ll die faster.
But even if there was a glimmer of hope, they wanted to try.
Zhuge Hong is the pillar of the Zhuge family, or the spiritual pillar, and even the belief of most of his children.
They believe that as long as Zhuge Hong is around, the Zhuge family will not decline.
So if Zhuge Hong dies, it will bring a huge blow to the Zhuge family.
This is not an economic or military aspect, but a spiritual aspect.
