The Zhao family in Beijing did not arrange for the Zhao family in Xishu to immediately return to the birthplace of the Zhao family to worship their ancestors. The birthplace of the Zhao family was in Wanzhou, where their ancestral tombs and ancestral halls were located. The Zhao family was not like the Li family, which originated in the northeast. , and later moved the ancestral tombs and ancestral halls to Shangjing.
The Zhao family's ancestral hall has always been in southern Anhui, and the two states of Anhui and Jiangxi are also where the Zhao family has the greatest influence in Beijing. These two places have absolute control just like the Li family controls the northeast.
The Zhao family in Shangjing asked them to wait until other branches were notified. Although the Zhao family in Xishu was a little anxious, they didn't care about the ten days and a half. This was pie in the sky. It doesn't matter if we wait any longer.
The Zhao family in Xishu did not return to their hometown to worship their ancestors, but they were already preparing to take action against Uncle Dong. Mr. Zhao did not need to worry about this kind of thing, he only needed Zhao Taiqing and Zhao Tai'an to come forward.
After sending Zhao Jingwei away the next day, brothers Zhao Taiqing and Zhao Tai'an discussed taking action against Uncle Dong. At this time, Uncle Dong was having a conflict with Duan Qian.
Located on the top floor of a building owned by the Zhao family near ***, Zhao Tai'an's office is here. Zhao Tai'an said with a smile: "Second brother, Uncle Dong just gave us a gift, and we then attacked him. Isn't it a little bit... Isn’t it shameful?”
Zhao Taiqing said thoughtfully: "Brother, sooner or later, you will have to pay back those who came out to fool around. If Mr. Su hadn't helped our Zhao family in Xishu to recognize our ancestors and return to our clan, do you think Uncle Dong would take us seriously? Wait until he helps Duan After the family has dealt with the Lin family, they will probably turn their guns against our Xishu Zhao family with the support of the Duan family. Since he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."
People are in high spirits during happy events. Zhao Tai'an's presence was very small in the past, but now who dares not to take him seriously in Xishu? This is the sense of superiority brought by the status of a collateral branch of the Zhao family. It is estimated that in the next period of time There are many big bosses who invite him to dinner, and they all want to embrace their Xishu Zhao family, so that they can take them with them when the Xishu Zhao family takes off.
Even the big guys who had not contacted him much before had been calling him to congratulate him continuously in the past two days. The attitude in their words was very respectful, and there was a contrast between the two sides unconsciously.
In the past, not everyone in Shuzhou knew about them. Moreover, they were in the same circle as Uncle Dong. Many people looked down upon them and did not dare to have too close contact with them. But now they have the status of being a collateral branch of the Zhao family. It will be different in the future, for example, everyone now calls them the Xishu Zhao family.
Both Zhao Taian and Zhao Taiqing like this title very much, and it sounds more domineering.
Zhao Taian smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just talking. We will not break our promise to Young Master Su. When we chatted with the eldest young master that day, you can also hear what the eldest young master meant. Even if we become a collateral branch of the Zhao family, we can still If we cannot get help from the Zhao family, it depends on our performance. On the one hand, it is the improvement of our own strength, and on the other hand, it is the help to Mr. Su."
Zhao Taiqing nodded and said: "Well, the relationship between the eldest young master and Young Master Su should be very complicated. I heard that Young Master Su and the eldest lady are childhood friends, and the relationship between Young Master Su and the Zhao family is also very close, so as long as we go with Young Master Su The closer we are, the closer we are to Jing Zhao’s family.”
"We understand this truth, so if Uncle Dong offends Mr. Su, he will definitely die." Zhao Taian said disdainfully.
Zhao Taiqing said meaningfully: "Brother, what you may not know is that this is just the beginning. Mr. Su's ambitions are not limited to Shuzhou. Once the troubles in Shuzhou are solved, his next goal will be the mountain city. In the future, he will It’s the entire southwest region. Whether our Xishu Zhao family can become the southwest Zhao family depends on whether we can keep up with Mr. Su’s pace.”.Ь.
Zhao Tai'an, who had already enjoyed the sweetness, said with hot eyes: "Southwest Zhao family."
Obviously, the Southwest Zhao family is more domineering than the Xishu Zhao family, but it is not that easy to do so. After all, they are just in a corner now, and the road is still very long.
Zhao Taiqing kindly reminded: "Brother, although we now have the support of the Zhao family and the Su family, everything is not that easy. Next, we have to be cautious and go all out. One day it will happen again. brilliant."
Zhao Taian said confidently: "Second brother, you have said that we now have the support of the two major families, the Zhao family and the Su family. How many families do you think there are in the southwest?"
Is there such a card? To put it bluntly, hold your thighs tightly, seize the opportunity, and that's it. "
Zhao Tai'an used to be a conservative, but now he has become a radical after hearing these words. It is obvious that this incident has given him a boost.
Zhao Taiqing waited for his eldest brother to calm down and then said: "Brother, let's talk about the next thing. I have already notified the following people. Brother, you are responsible for the logistics. Leave the charge to the battle to me. Let's see next. How did Uncle Dong cope?"
Zhao Tai'an said quickly: "Second brother, just don't worry, I won't hold you back."
Just in the afternoon after Zhao Jingwei left, the Xishu Zhao family suddenly attacked Uncle Dong with various lame reasons. These reasons were all from the past festivals. They seemed to be saying that your Uncle Dong bullied others too much in the past. We, Zhao Jing of Xishu, The family can be regarded as enduring it again and again.
Now that our Zhao family in Xishu is no longer the Zhao family before, let's settle the accounts.
When the news spread, the entire Shuzhou became lively again. No one expected that the Zhao family of Xishu would directly attack Uncle Dong just after becoming a collateral branch of the Zhao family. Was this an instant expansion or was there something behind it? What about the support of the Zhao family?
No one knows, no one can guess. Anyway, Shuzhou is in chaos now. The Duan family and the Lin family were fighting inextricably, and now the Zhao family of Western Shu has declared war on Uncle Dong.
But Uncle Dong is not a weakling. He is now very close to the Duan family and is helping the Duan family deal with the Lin family. Behind the Duan family is the Li family. So will the Duan family let the Zhao family of Xishu deal with Uncle Dong?
Some people can't help but guess that Uncle Dong is helping the Duan family deal with the Lin family, and the Zhao family of Xishu is suddenly dealing with Uncle Dong. Is it possible that the Zhao family of Xishu is helping the Lin family to rescue them?
But some people who know the inside story don't think so. Although the Lin family and the Xishu Zhao family have some intersections, they are not that close. The Xishu Zhao family cannot help them out because doing so will offend the Duan family.
Anyway, there are all kinds of analysis, and the analysis is very clear, and all kinds of rumors are flying in the sky in an instant.
Uncle Dong was having trouble with the Duan family when he was suddenly stabbed by the Zhao family of Xishu. In an instant, Uncle Dong was completely panicked. How can he still be the opponent of the Zhao family of Xishu? They are all the Zhao family of Xishu. Well, with the support of the Zhao family in Beijing, he is nothing.
Uncle Dong originally thought that he could continue to maintain the situation of keeping the well and the river in check. He even took the initiative to send gifts to the Xishu Zhao family to show his attitude. However, he did not expect that the Xishu Zhao family did not buy it. As soon as the front foot became a collateral branch of the Zhao family, the back foot became a branch of the Zhao family. Do it to yourself. XiuShu.com
This was so rude, and Uncle Dong was so angry that he cursed loudly.
There was chaos outside, and Uncle Dong had no choice but to let them withstand the offensive of the Zhao family in Xishu first. They were not like the Duan family against the Lin family. They were more of a scheming and intrigue in the political and business circles. They were naked and direct. Seize the territory and fuck him shirtless with real swords and guns, so he can still have a chance to breathe.
Uncle Dong called his military advisor, a veteran who had been with him for many years and the Duan family he helped him contact.
After the military advisor arrived, Uncle Dong quickly pulled the skinny old man in his sixties and shouted: "Old Feng, Old Feng, what should we do now? Are we being attacked from both sides?"
The skinny old man in sixties used to be Brother Pao, but he couldn't keep up with the times and was eliminated, but he became Uncle Dong's think tank and strategist. The people under Uncle Dong called him Hong Ye.
This nickname is somewhat funny because he has only worn red underwear all his life. In the past, everyone called him Brother Hong, and then they called him Master Hong.
Mr. Hong sat down slowly and said, "Why are you panicking? Don't panic at any time. It's such a big deal. I'm not going to chop off your head tomorrow."
Uncle Dong sat next to Mr. Hong and said, "Old Feng, do you think I can calm down? I offended Duan Gan just yesterday, and today the Zhao family in Xishu attacked me. I even doubt them." Is it agreed upon? I'm not afraid of them at all, as you said before, but now they have become phoenixes with chicken feathers. I don't know how they suddenly turned into a collateral branch of the Zhao family. They are no longer the same. We are I can’t afford to offend them, and I don’t know if they just got lucky.”
Mr. Hong said calmly: "They all have the surname Zhao.
We are a family. There was this rumor before, but everyone didn't believe it. Now this rumor has become a fact. If you don't believe it, there is nothing you can do. You can only believe it. Zhao Taiqing can deceive us, but he certainly can't deceive the Zhao family in Beijing. "
Uncle Dong said a little irritably: "Since it is already a fact, let's not talk about this and let's think of ways to solve the problem."
Mr. Hong said thoughtfully: "Now you have two paths to choose from. Which one do you want to choose?"
"Which two paths can you tell me first?" Uncle Dong asked impatiently.
Mr. Hong said unhurriedly: "The first way is for you to go directly to Zhao Taiqing and ask him why he wanted to attack you. If there is any misunderstanding, you can clarify it face to face. At the worst, can you cut off the land and pay compensation? As long as everyone does not offend the river. That's fine. But this path is just your wishful thinking. The reasons Zhao Taiqing found are all old things, which means that he deliberately caused trouble for you. Now he is the Zhao family of Xishu, and they don't take you seriously at all. With this capital, he can follow If you fight, many people may take this opportunity to curry favor with them and support them. You are fundamentally at a disadvantage, and it doesn’t mean much whether you see them or not. If I were Zhao Taiqing, I would also take advantage of this east wind. To deal with you, even if I can't beat you to death, I have to knock you down and subdue you. From now on, the Xishu Zhao family in this underground world of Shuzhou has the final say, and your Uncle Dong can only be subordinate to others."
After hearing this, Uncle Dong said angrily: "Damn it, you asked me to bow my head to Zhao Taiqing. Why do I feel aggrieved? Who is Zhao Taiqing? He was never my opponent before. Now he has become a chicken." You're a phoenix, what's so impressive about it? Lao Feng, you'd better tell me the second way, and I'll make my choice after listening."
Mr. Hong continued to smile and said: "The second way is for you to find Duan Qian. Yesterday you and Duan Qian had a falling out. Now you can only admit your mistake to Duan Qian. Duan Qian can do whatever he says, as long as he is willing to continue to treat you." As an ally, and you just talked yesterday and didn't take any actual actions, Duan Qian should forgive you, but he will definitely negotiate conditions, and you have to pay a lot. Similarly, this road is equivalent to putting you with Duan Qian. The family is tied to death, both prosperous and destructive. As long as you help the Duan family win Shuzhou, the Duan family will not let you be bullied by the Zhao family of Xishu. At most, you can continue to maintain a tacit understanding with Zhao Taiqing in the future, or if the Duan family No matter how ambitious you are, I will support you in challenging Zhao Taiqing. With the support of the Duan family and the Li family behind you, you may not be able to suppress Zhao Taiqing."
Uncle Dong said without hesitation: "I choose the second path. It is better to admit my mistakes to Duan Qian and ask for forgiveness than to bow my head and admit defeat to Zhao Taiqing. I have been fighting with him for most of my life, and I can't let him ride on me at this time." Peeing on my head, I will admit it even if the Duan family wants me to die."
Mr. Hong said thoughtfully: "Another hidden danger on this road is that the Duan family was defeated by the Lin family. Now the Lin family suddenly found helper from nowhere and actually withstood the Duan family's offensive. I'm afraid The Duan family is no match for the Lin family's behind-the-scenes helper. When the time comes when the Duan family gives up and leaves Shuzhou in embarrassment, the Duan family doesn't care. Their headquarters is in the mountain city, but you will become the root of Wuping. I won't know the final result. Having said that, it is a miserable word. Of course, the Duan family also has the support of the Li family, so the probability of this is very low."
After hearing this, Uncle Dong was silent for a moment and said: "Every path has risks. Even if I go to find Zhao Taiqing, Zhao Taiqing may not spare me. Instead of doing this, it is better to fight him to the end and let him know that I, Uncle Dong, are not easy to mess with." , I still choose the second path. I will go to Duan Qian right away. Isn’t it just a matter of bowing my head and admitting my mistakes and asking for forgiveness to become a grandson? Who is not a grandson, that is, the children of the eight great families are born as uncles. We don’t have this fate. , I can only admit it."
Mr. Hong said with a smile: "If I were you, I would make the same choice. This shows that you are still very passionate and have not chosen to withdraw from the world to live a long life. Since you have already chosen, then go to Duan Qian, thinking that it is good for him Based on your analysis, he will definitely make things difficult for you, but in the end he will definitely forgive you because he needs you now."
Uncle Dong stood up and patted Mr. Hong on the shoulder and said: "Old Feng, Old Feng, the old ginger is still hot. If you hadn't had bad luck and no big boss to support you, I guess this Shuzhou would have let you dominate the world a long time ago. But you are doing well now, and it would be nice to enjoy your old age here with me."
After hearing Mr. Hong's analysis, Uncle Dong was no longer confused instantly and knew what to do.
After talking to Mr. Hong,
Uncle Dong called Duan Qian. He knew that Duan Qian had not left Xishu yet, but Duan Qian did not answer his call. Obviously Duan Qian also knew about the Zhao family's attack on him.
This was what Uncle Dong expected. He was not in a hurry and continued to call Duan Qian. After several calls, he still didn't answer, so he chose to go directly to the hotel to find Duan Qian. XiuShu.com
It didn't take long to arrive at the hotel where the Duan family was staying, but was still rejected. The Duan family's bodyguard said that Duan Qian had gone out, but Uncle Dong knew that Duan Qian was in the hotel, but he just didn't want to see him.
Did Duan Qian just want to put extreme pressure on himself? After Hong Ye's analysis, Uncle Dong knew what to do. He was not in a hurry and said he would wait for Duan Qian in the hotel until Duan Qian came back.
Duan Qian was not in a hurry. He just let Uncle Dong wait and didn't let him suffer. He didn't know who the boss was.
Now that the Zhao family of Xishu has turned against the general, are you anxious?
So thinking about it, Duan Qian felt that he still had to thank the Zhao family of Xishu. Without the Zhao family of Xishu, Uncle Dong would not have come to him so quickly.
