The next day.
The invitation card was written on the Chen family invitation to discuss major events.
The meeting was held at the Chen Family's square.
Early in the morning.
The 2,000 soldiers from the County Commandery blocked off the road to the Chen Family's territory.
On the street.
On both sides, there was a county soldier every five meters.
They were wearing armor, with one hand on their hips and the other holding red tasseled spears.
He looked straight ahead.
His expression was cold.
Some of the commoners of Ji County stood in the distance, gazing at this street.
The discussion started.
"What day is it today? So many county soldiers have blocked the road and are not letting me in.”
"I don't know either. It should be that some big shot from above is coming to our Ji County.”
"Bullsh * t, let me tell you. A few days ago, the Chen family sent out invitations, inviting all the influential figures of our Ji County to the Chen family to discuss important matters.”
An insider chuckled.
"Do you know what's going on?”
"Then how would I know? If I knew, I would still be here talking nonsense with you.”
"Hahahahaha..."
The crowd burst into laughter.
"The county lord is really giving face to the Chen family. He actually sent so many people to support the Chen family?”
"The county lord sent them? Hehe, what a joke. Can a county lord command the county soldiers? Let me tell you, the county captain of our Ji County is from the Chen Family. The county soldiers listen to the Chen Family Head, not the county lord.”
"I see."
"Tsk tsk, that County Lord is really pitiful.”
"Pitiful, you are just a peasant, yet you feel pity for the high and mighty Lord County Magistrate. No matter how pitiful he is, he is still stronger than you!”
"The name of the game is the name of the game."
Not far away, a young man looked in the direction of the Chen family with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, an old man who looked like a servant was furious.
"Young Master, these unruly people are too much!" the old man said.”
"It's fine!" The young man chuckled.”
However, the old man was still indignant for his young master.
"Young Master, this Chen Family is too much. They don't even put you in their eyes. According to the laws of the court, mobilizing the county soldiers requires a warrant from the county magistrate, but when did Chen Yongchuan ask for your permission?”
That young man was the County Magistrate of Ji County, Xu You.
Xu You shook his head and said,"The law of the court?"”
"Hehe, the world is about to fall into chaos.”
"The officials of the royal court are short-sighted and only care about fighting for power with His Majesty the Emperor.”
"Many of the prefectures and counties of our Grand Xia have long since broken free from the control of the Imperial Court.”
"I'm only submitting to the Imperial Court in name. The Imperial Court's laws are nothing more than a piece of waste paper…"
"Is our Grand Xia really that dangerous?”
Uncle Cheng asked in confusion.
"It's about time. If the Imperial Court doesn't make any changes, we probably only have a few decades left!”
"The Northern King has millions of soldiers and countless battle generals. His strength has already reached the peak of Spirit Refinement Realm, and he might break through to Life and Death Realm at any time! Once he broke through to Life and Death Realm, he would probably start to attack.”
"Yu Dynasty in the south, ever since the empress ascended the throne, has been working hard to make the country prosperous and the people strong. They have been coveting Great Xia for a long time.”
"The Ten Thousand Poison Temple in the west has already swept through the entire southwest.”
"The Nine Great Clans each control a prefecture and have a deep scheme.”
"On the other hand, the Imperial Clan's pillar of suppression is nearing its end. The moment he passes away, Grand Xia will collapse. This is something everyone knows!”
Xu You said with a calm expression.
"Young Master, since the world is about to fall into chaos, shouldn't you be prepared?”
Uncle Cheng said.
"Prepare early? Hehe…"
Xu You smiled bitterly.
"Just because I'm a powerless and small Rank-7 County Magistrate?”
"Of course not."
"Young Master, you've been loved by the family head since you were young. If you can become the young master, with the Xu family's strength and your resourcefulness, you might be able to win…"
Uncle Cheng didn't finish his sentence. He believed that Young Master would understand what he meant.
Xu You shook his head and said indifferently,""Uncle Cheng, you have to know that I'm only a son of a concubine. No matter how much my father likes me, I'm destined not to be the head of the family.”
"Although father likes me, he only likes my intelligence and thinks that I'm very similar to him. However, in his bones, what he values the most is the so-called difference between the direct and the concubine.”
"Otherwise, without Father's approval, no matter how powerful Second Brother is, how could I have been sent to Hejian County?”
"Sigh…"
Thinking of the young master's awkward identity as a concubine's son, Uncle Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at Uncle Chen who was sighing, Xu You patted his shoulder.
"Uncle Chen, you don't have to do this!" he comforted.”
With that, he turned around and looked into the distance.
"Uncle Cheng, what do you think of Chen Kun, the head of the Chen family?" he asked with a smile.”
Uncle Cheng was slightly stunned and thought for a moment.
"Chen Kun is a character."”
"He has talent, ability, courage, ambition, and is ruthless enough.”
"If he was placed in the aristocratic families of Xia country, he would be the best candidate for the heir. He would be an existence that could stir up the wind and clouds in the future.”
"It's just a pity that I was born in Ji County.”
Xu You laughed.
He did not comment on Uncle Chen's last two sentences.
So what if he was born in Ji County?
There was an old saying that the great roc rose with the wind every day and soared up ninety thousand miles.
How could a shallow beach trap a flood dragon?
......
On the street that was blocked by the county soldiers in the distance.
The invited influential figures sent by the various factions began to lead their followers slowly towards the Chen family's territory!
Looking at the county soldiers guarding along the way, they all sighed in their hearts. The power of the Chen family in Ji County!
Outside the Chen family's gate, expensive red silk ribbons were hung everywhere.
On both sides were warriors of the Chen family with deep auras. They stood with their hands behind their backs and their eyes fixed on each other like pine trees!
They were different from the county soldiers outside.
The lowest cultivation among these warriors had reached the middle stage of the Hou Tian Realm.
Their bodies emitted a bone-chilling killing intent.
It was obvious that each of them was stained with the lives of countless people.
The Chen family had risen by stepping on the corpses of many people.
At the entrance, the person receiving the guests was a new protector of the Chen family. His cultivation had already reached Houtian eighth stage.
He saw the guests coming over.
The corners of the Chen family's guardian's mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile.
He tidied up his clothes and went up to greet him with a smile.
"Ji County's Bai Junzhen Jiang Clan's Patriarch has arrived!”
"Ji County's Spear Gang Leader has arrived!”
"Patriarch Nangong of the Nangong Family has arrived!”
"Heze Town's Wang Clan's Grand Elder has arrived.”
"Iron Fist Sect's Vice Sect Master has arrived!"
“...........”
One by one, the names of the people who were called out echoed in the air above the Chen Clan. Every name that was called out represented a big shot of Ji County!
Today, all these important figures had gathered in the Chen Family!
