overthrow the chief

That was a long, long time ago... Oh no, more than ten years ago, the last martial arts conference was held to denounce the rapid expansion of the Demon Cult. The decent people were unwilling to let the Demon Cult grow stronger, so they gathered together and wanted to Come to a joint suppression.

After all, there needs to be a balance in martial arts, and the increase of one side's power is not good for the other side.While the meeting was in progress, news suddenly came from the northern border of Daxuan, saying that the pro-Xuan kingdoms of Yan, Song, and Wei were invaded by the Xiongnu and Jieji at the same time. , Daxuan naturally sent troops to rescue.

Unexpectedly, the people of ethnic minorities did not grow up vegetarian, and there were many masters among them. Not only did they break the formation repeatedly, they even showed off, sneaked into the barracks at night, and somehow killed Daxuan's warlord.

This time it poked a hornet's nest.If it is purely fighting on the battlefield, it has nothing to do with people in the martial arts, but if it is such a shame and humiliation, Daxuan will feel very ashamed.At the moment, the martial arts conference also fell by the wayside, and brought along the four major factions and several other people, and went straight to the frontier.

After a scuffle between the two parties, they heard another piece of fresh news: Princess Yan is actually a daughter of the Jieji tribe.

I don't know who spread this rumor, but it quickly became known inside and outside.There are not many small people in the country of Yan, and the folk customs have always been simple. They are well aware of the generosity of the princess, and there is no trouble. It has been spread that Princess Yan is Jie Ji's undercover spy, and this time the war was caused by Princess Yan's tip-off and co-operation from inside and outside, which led to the retreat of even Daxuan's reinforcements, vulnerable to a single blow.

What happened after that can only be described as chaos.The situation of the three kingdoms with the same hatred and hatred disappeared, instead, the internal fighting continued. In addition, foreign enemies oppressed the border, and Daxuan was trapped by several Xiongnu masters... The war lasted for a whole year, and finally ended in a deadly situation.

Concubine Yan committed suicide by taking poison. King Yan severed diplomatic relations with the most persecuting Song State, and Wei State lost the most and had no strength.Several generals died on Daxuan's side, and then the four major sects retaliated against him in their own way, and also killed several princes and brothers of the Xiongnu and Jieji tribe.After several battles, the four factions also lost a lot.

Both lose.

Humiliated, the Xiongnu once again assembled a large army and invaded together with Daxuan, burning, killing and looting, causing the imperial court to be forced to dispatch troops and generals, and the war lasted for another three years, and the catastrophe ended.

Later, there was the matter of the old leader of Lie Yan Sect, and the Great Black Martial Forest suffered such blows one after another, so naturally they didn't have the heart to hold any more martial arts conferences.For more than ten years after this, all sects and sects closed their doors to restrain their disciples and recuperate.until this year.

"Until this year..." Ren Wusheng's sharp eyes swept across the audience, and those who lacked courage in the crowd had already avoided looking at him.He talked for a long time, but his mouth was not dry, he was still full of energy, his internal energy was not even unstable, and his voice was still loud.

Such deep internal strength, such steady action.Chu Ting could tell that Ren Wusheng was also a guy with extremely high martial arts, and thought that the four major sects were indeed not ordinary people.Then I heard Ren Wusheng slowly say again: "This year, the disciples of our school went down the mountain to practice and found that the Raging Flame Sect is expanding again. The Jiangbei area is already full of people from the Raging Flame Sect. The Songyuan Sect, Zhushan Sect, and Zheng Quanmen have already... They were all wiped out, and no one survived."

Everyone was in an uproar.Someone who had something to do with these three sects instantly got red-eyed and stood up and asked, "But it's true?!"

Ren Wusheng replied calmly: "Everything I have seen with my own eyes has been buried in the ground."

The audience was shocked, this is a bloody case that hasn't happened in many years.Arguing endlessly like a frying pan.Ren Wusheng is highly respected, what he said must be the truth, no one doubts it.

Seeing that what Ren Wusheng had said was almost done, Mu Yingqi stood up again, and waved his hand to signal: "Everyone, don't be impatient. What Palace Master Ren said is true. This is the most important thing for the resumption of the martial arts conference this year. In addition, today I want to say Yes, one more thing."

Taking advantage of this small gap of silence, Chu Ting hurriedly looked at Murong Yan at the side, and saw that his face was as indifferent as usual, only his eyes became darker.He looked at it with concern, and found that the boy's hands on his knees were tightly clenched, obviously his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

He hesitated for a moment, then covered his right hand and exerted a little force, as if he wanted to transmit his strength to comfort him.Murong Yan's body tensed for a moment, and then slowly relaxed.Although he didn't look over, he could feel the momentary relaxation of the atmosphere around him.

Only then did Chu Ting feel relieved. No matter who heard the old story of his mother being forced to death, he couldn't calm down and pretend nothing had happened. He was only afraid of Murong Yan's uncontrollable impulse.

On the other side of him, the one sitting was not Jiang Yilang who had nothing to do with the current matter.The smile on Jiang Yilang's face also slowly subsided, and he changed into a slightly confused expression.

Chu Ting leaned closer and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's for sure that Luo Jia is not dead." Jiang Yilang also lowered his voice and replied, "It's just that Qingluan told me that Luo Jia went back more than a year ago, and what happened before... and no one knows " He couldn't figure out something, and murmured: "Jiangbei was not the territory of the Raging Flame Cult before, and these three small sects are even more vulnerable. Why did Luo Jia kill them? There is no need to do so much.”

"Could it be for something?" Chu Ting withdrew his hand and touched his smooth chin: "If you want me to say, didn't the Raging Flame Sect go to Longyuan Mountain for the "He Luan Treasure" five years ago? Yang Xiuzong And Yin Lizong has nothing to do with them, right?"

"Also..." He deliberately teased Jiang Yilang, "You're not in Jiangbei either."

"Go, go, stay there." Jiang Yilang sneered at him through his nose: "Don't make random analyzes if you don't have enough information! I'm not you, I'm showing off everywhere!"

"Who is showing off?" Chu Ting couldn't help but cry and retort: ​​"What did I show off?"

Jiang Yilang snorted and stopped talking, turned his head to look at the rostrum and didn't intend to answer.Chu Ting had no choice but to stop talking, following his gaze, Mu Yingqi had already spoken again, but what he said was still related to Murong Yan.

Chu Ting sighed deeply. What Mu Yingqi said this time was that the Yan Kingdom was destroyed five years ago, and the Daxuan Dynasty happened to have the upper hand. Regardless of the country of Yan, letting the king of Yan become a dead zone.Within five years, people disappeared, birds flew away, and it became a ghost town.

This time, he saw clearly that the veins in Murong Yan's hands were bulging, and he was even more silent.He listened patiently to Mu Yingqi's continuation, but found that the four major families in Huazhou were mentioned again.

Regarding this point, he only heard Chu Huailin talk about it yesterday, so he could understand it.The so-called four big families are not the four in the Dream of the Red Chamber, but they are also connected with each other and have been passed down for hundreds of years. In the Xuan Kingdom, they are the first class of the aristocratic family, and they are also giants. Sometimes the royal family also needs to be polite.With the Chu family as the head, the Tan family, the Huo family, and the Wang family as the alliance, the status of the patriarchs of the four major families is even more noble than the king in some places outside the capital.

Among the four major families, the Tan family is a purely scholarly family and belongs to the Qingliu faction in the court; the Huo family is a military hawk, and is also a war hawk. Half of the children in the family serve in the army; the Wang family represents the interests of businessmen , and relying on marrying each generation of princes who are short of money, he is the last among the four major families, but he is the richest and richest - in this world, no one will have trouble with money, right?

And the Chu family...

No one can tell clearly why the family got rich, because everything about the Chu family is too much and too far away.The other three of the four major families have only been passed down for three or four hundred years. Only the Chu family has survived the Six Dynasties for 400 years, and no one can shake it.If it is said that half of Daxuan belongs to the Chu family, some people would agree with this statement.

The family tree of the Chu family has more than 1 pages and more than 3000 family rules.According to Chu Ting's personal understanding, the existence of the Chu family in Daxuan is just a bug, or something that the system can't solve.With such a big family, how could the emperor not be afraid?Not to deal with it?

But the existence of the Chu family is so special, no one touches the Chu family, and there is no emperor to deal with the Chu family.For each generation of the Chu family, at most one-fifth of them are allowed to enter the court, and the rest must do other jobs—even if they want to beg for food all their lives and embarrass the Chu family, they are not allowed to be officials.That is to say, never put all your eggs in one basket, let alone follow others and follow the crowd to choose life.

If you have the talent to be an official, you can apply to the family, and if you pass the assessment and have internal competition, you can be admitted to the court as a member of the Chu family.If you want to do business or become a literati, you can also get recommendations from your family to develop in related areas.It will never hinder you, nor will it force you to do anything.

Relying on this family rule, after 1000 years of precipitation, the Chu family has countless family members in all walks of life, and through various means, has established a powerful system for cultivating talents and gathering family power. All Chu family members are very united , and heart to the Chu family.All members of the Chu family must make way for any matter that is beneficial to the family and has been unanimously agreed within the family, and the family takes priority in everything.

The Chu family themselves gave their family members unlimited protection.Basically, what the Chu family did would never make mistakes. Once the Chu family made mistakes, there would be national laws and family rules... and family rules were much stricter than national laws.

This is ancient times, where the clan is so powerful that even the emperor can't interfere with the clan's internal affairs.It is also true that the Chu family is self-contained and has its own set of operating mechanisms.

In fact, the birth of this kind of big clan is also related to the ethos of martial arts among the whole people.If the clan doesn't have enough power in their hands, how dare they challenge it like this?After Chu Ting heard this, he had only one thought: sects are also clan forces in disguise, but they are much more disrupted.

For example, Chu Huailin, he obtained a place to enter the officialdom through competition within the family. He can represent the Chu family to participate in the imperial examination next year. It was smooth sailing.

Mu Yingqi said a few words about the four major families, but Chu Ting had already pulled out and filtered the information in his mind, only to hear the people on the rostrum change the subject and say abruptly——

"The old man has definite news that someone from the four major families was related to the destruction of the Yan Kingdom five years ago... Not only that, but 13 years ago, this person was the one who instigated Jieji and the Huns to invade Daxuan. As for my Daxuan Wulin Casualties were heavy!"
