Chapter 94: The Gu family’s life experience
Shang Shengshi became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. As the head of the Shang family, he naturally wanted to seek justice for his people.
Jing Zhongqiu fell into silence for a while. Indeed, among the four major families, the Shang family had the most difficult life. Only after going through hard times did he realize how rare the word "rich" is. Unlike other families, other families are because There are talented disciples here, so they are qualified to sign a contract with the Beast God, but the Shang family is different. They earned it through military exploits.
"Jing Shengji doesn't need to persuade me, I don't care what you say about this matter..."
At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
"What are the two holy envoys talking about, so passionately?"
"Senior Qinglong came just in time, you can explain why this contractor of the ancient path can't be a member of my four major families!" The old man named Shang stood up with a snap. His attitude was obviously right. He was dissatisfied with this matter, but he didn't know that it was Qinglong who actually arranged for people from the Mi family to sign the contract.
Jing Zhongqiu sighed helplessly when he saw this. He couldn't persuade him to do anything about this matter, so he could only let the beast god Qinglong come forward to solve it.缼缼
The young man in long coat was not angry at all, he just smiled and replied:
"Don't be impatient, Lord Sage. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
The red jade old man sat back angrily, his face still looking annoyed.
Qinglong calmly sat aside and made himself a cup of tea. Jing Zhongqiu saw that the other party was so nonchalant, and he knew that the other party must have some confidence.
It is strange to say that among the four beast gods of the Kingdom of Beasts, the other three still have the nature of alien beasts. No matter their words and deeds are the same as before, Qinglong is the only one who is different. On the contrary, he becomes more and more like a person.
In addition, he not only dresses plainly and likes to drink tea, but also likes to read. He is almost the same as those mortal disciples, and even more human-like than those people. So many believers who follow the Green Dragon Totem are a little confused. They feel that what they follow is neither a beast god nor a totem. Instead, they feel like the down-and-out scholar next door or the prodigal son wandering around in the world.
"Holy Envoy Shannon, please tell me in detail if you have anything to say."
The red jade old man took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and made himself appear calmer when speaking.
"Envoy Jing Sheng wants to arrange for the disciples of the Mi family to sign a contract with the ancient beast god, but the Mi family is a family in the southern region of the Kingdom of Beasts. If the contract is signed, it will definitely develop into the fifth largest family in the Kingdom of Beasts in the future. At that time, won’t our Shang family be forced to take a share of the pie? Moreover, when the Kingdom of Beasts was established, the Mi family did not make any contribution at all. Now that they can give him a place to settle down and allow his family to reproduce, for them, It is already a great gift, how can we give them another chance to sign a contract with the ancient beast god?!"
Qinglong was not in a hurry to answer. After listening carefully, he just tasted the tea briefly. After the other party's anger was almost gone, he started to ask:
"Are the Shang Shengshi afraid that the Mi family will steal your business? Or are you afraid that he will take your place?"
"It's not that my Shang family is afraid of him, it's just that their family didn't pay anything back then. Rather than asking them to sign a contract, I would rather give this opportunity to those who have contributed to the Kingdom of Beasts."
"In that case, which family is more suitable according to what the Holy Envoy Shang said?" Qinglong did not refute him, but followed his words and asked.
As soon as these words came out, Shannon was stunned. To be honest, he hadn't thought about it that deeply. He just simply opposed the Mi family.缼缼
Seeing his hesitation, Qinglong smiled inwardly. Before he came, he knew that Shannon had only just learned of the news, so he was sure that the other party had not considered any candidates for the new contractor besides the Mi family, and the fact was correct. So true.
"I don't have a new candidate yet. Give me some time and I will be able to find the most suitable person." Shannon said with a frown.
"Since there is no candidate for Shang Sheng Envoy, how about you listen to my opinion?" Qinglong said while sipping tea, his tone was very gentle.
Qinglong usually does things very fairly. Even Jing Zhongqiu, who is the opponent's contractor, never takes sides.
Yes, Shang Shengshi can naturally trust him.
"Senior Qinglong, please speak."
The young man in long coat smiled and explained the reason for the incident:
"As far as I know, before the establishment of the Kingdom of Beasts, the Mi family's surname was not Mi, but Gu, the valley of grains."
"Surname Gu?" Not only Shangnong, but also Jing Zhongqiu knew this for the first time.
"The territory they were in at that time was Shituoling in the Western Region, but later, for some unknown reason, they were asked to remain anonymous and move to... oh no, they fled to Chunbo Lake."
"Humph, what else could it be? To avoid the war." Shannon had a deep memory of the history before the Kingdom of Beasts. It was also the Shang family that killed and injured so many members of the clan in order to protect these refugees.
"Haha, but that's not the case. They had moved there long before the war broke out, and it wasn't until the war broke out fifty years later."
Listening to Qinglong's explanation, Shang Shengshi was a little puzzled.
"What does this have to do with choosing the Mi family as a contractor?"
"Don't be impatient, Lord Saint, and listen to me slowly." The young man in long coat continued: "The reason why the Beast God Ancient Path chose Shituoling as its territory is because her last master was born here, and at that time, Even before the Kingdom of Beasts was established, it already has an extremely ancient history."
Shannong naturally knew about the disappearing dynasty. Three hundred years of history disappeared out of thin air. No records related to it could be found in the entire continent. No one was not curious about what happened during that period.
"Senior Qinglong means that the masters of the Beast God Ancient Path were people from that era? Doesn't that mean that the Ancient Path knew that period of history?" Jing Zhongqiu asked with a frown.
Qinglong nodded, admitting this. Shannon and Jing Zhongqiu looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
If she wants to know the secrets of that dynasty, she must win over the Ancient Path of the Beast God and let her join the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The young man in long coat picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then continued:
"The owner of the Ancient Dao and Xizhou swords is called "Gudao Xizhou", but do you know this person's original name? "
"What's your last name?" Shannon asked.缼缼
"The surname is Gu, which means cereal."
After saying this, Shangnong and Jing Zhongqiu were immediately shocked.
"In other words, the Mi family is the former owner of the ancient road?!"
Faced with this question, Qinglong gave up and replied: "Yes and no."
"What do you mean?" Shannon was a little confused.
"As far as I know, Gudao Xizhou has no children in his life. This Mi family is just the descendant of his brothers with the same surname."
