Chapter 65 Zhu Family Meeting
Just as Zhu Qi took Wang Lin to travel across the lake and mountains in the Zhu family courtyard, the elders of the Zhu family were crowded in a remote house to discuss big things.
On the main seat, Zhu Yang and Zhu Xiao sat side by side. Below were a group of people in their thirties and forties, all of whom looked serious and cared about this meeting.
"I have already talked about the reason why the Shen family targeted me with the Feng family. Now let's talk about your views on the suggestion of the third son of the Shen family, Chen Wansan." Zhu Xiaozuo said solemnly in the main position.
It turned out that not long after they came back, the Shen family sent someone to the Zhu family and asked the Zhu family to help them rescue Chen Wannian, the boss of the Shen family who was imprisoned in the prison guarded by the Zhao family outside the city.
In order to show sincerity, Chen Wansan also brought the land deeds of the Shen family's three shops in the center of Xiyun County. As long as the Zhu family agrees, they can choose any of them.
The city center land deed is only one, with five store land deeds in other parts of the city and ten store land deeds in the county.
The annual income these shops bring to the Shen family is about 100,000 taels of silver. At such a huge price, as long as Zhu Ken helps.
"I have a question. You are close to the Qian family and have a good relationship with the Qian family. Why don't you look for them?" The Zhu family member below asked.
"Hehe, you just said "seemingly". Although my Shen family and the Qian family seem to be dominated by his Qian family, as my Shen family grows, they have long become a piece of fat in their eyes. If you ask them for help this time, let alone whether we can accept the price we paid. Their dirty relationship with the Zhao family alone is worth pondering." Chen Wansan sneered.
"What about the Li family? The Li family and the Zhao family are both officials and martial arts families, and they have always been in a wrong direction. If you ask for help from the Li family, you should be fine?" another Zhu family member asked.
"If it really hit the Zhao family, the Li family would definitely be willing to help, but this is just a matter that helps me, the Shen family to retrieve someone from the prison and cannot shake the foundation of the Zhao family. I think they will not be willing to accept it. Even if they are willing, how can the Shen family provide the treasures they need? It is not enough to give the Xuanhuo Talisman. There are so many martial arts madmen in the city, but they can't manage the shops..." Chen Wansan smiled bitterly. If there were help from the Li family, what else would the Zhu family have to do?
After hearing Chen Wansan's words, the following Zhu family members were silent, and this is indeed the case.
"There are so many wealthy families in the city. Why did we choose a family like our Zhu family with a small and embarrassing status?" Seeing that the person below stopped talking, Zhu Yang, who was sitting in the main seat, asked. He was imposing. If Chen Wansan came to assassinate the Zhu family, then his mid-term acquired realm would be exposed in front of Zhu Yang.
Sure enough, Zhu Yang's momentum was released, and his eyes were brightly looking at Chen Wansan. Chen Wansan could no longer sit still. Sweat dripped from his forehead and said tremblingly, "Since the Zhao family revealed this news, we asked through the multiple releases and finally confirmed that my elder brother Chen Wannian was locked in Baiyunshan Prison in the northeast. It was closest to your Zhu family. How could they never think that it was the person your Zhu family helped us save. And..."
Speaking of this, Chen Wansan paused for a while and hesitated whether to continue talking.
"Speak." Zhu Xiao next to Zhu Yang said calmly, and a light flashed through his eyes.
"And... it is well known that there is a young master in Zhu family who performed particularly well in Xuanhuo Academy. He took a big step at a young age. Before entering Xuanhuo Sect, he was already in the middle of the acquired stage. He was not much more than our older generation. He was already appointed as a disciple by the senior officials of the Xuanhuo Sect. And this young master is also very interested in becoming an official and being a priest. I think if the Zhao family will murder your Zhu family this time, sooner or later you will face them. I don't think you will let go of this opportunity to find out the other party's background..." After Chen Wansan finished speaking, touched the sweat on his head. He said this. If the Zhu family does not agree, it will be difficult for him to get out of here alive.
"Since you know that one day the gifted people in the Zhu family will do great things in the future, why did I avoid it when I went to your house to mention that?" The Zhu family member next to him said coldly. This person looked sixty or seventy percent similar to Zhu Qi, and it was his father Zhu Chengjun.
"Xiao Ruoyun is very attached to Zhu Qi. She has been depressed since his father disappeared. It was not until Xuanhuo Sect established Xuanhuo Academy. She was happy again when she met Zhu Qi in the academy. We also wanted them to be together, but since Zhu Qi showed his talent, he has been noticed by the Zhao family, especially after the Zhao family knew about his ideal of being an official and a priest, his Zhu family was basically sentenced to...destruction."
Speaking of this, the people from the Zhu family under their seats all changed their expressions. They knew that the Zhao family had always been afraid of Zhu Qi, who had outstanding talents and ideas, but they did not expect that they would have the idea of destroying the Zhu family.
Chen Wansan continued, "If you hadn't been able to come back unscathed this time, even if you went to our Shen family many times, we wouldn't have seen you. As long as Zhu Qi didn't enter Xuanhuo Sect for a day, we wouldn't feel safe."
"Hmph, we did make a mistake this time. They actually dared to attack my Zhu family in the fairy forest closely monitored by Xuanhuo Sect. As long as Xiao Qi enters Xuanhuo Sect, even if we put our heads to the door of his Zhao family, they would not dare to attack!" Zhu Yangli said.
"Yes, as long as Zhu Qi enters Xuanhuo Sect, everything will be easy to do..." Chen Wansan said with a smile.
"You are not good people either, you have such a thorough calculation." Someone said dissatisfied.
This made Chen Wansan laugh at him. It was right to admit it, and it was not okay to deny it.
"Although we have already said this, we will not reply to you tomorrow. I will ask you to stay in the humble house for one night tonight." Zhu Xiao said lightly on the main seat.
"Okay, this time the Zhao family photographed a large number of elite soldiers going out to perform missions, and the only strong man in the Earth Immortal Realm in the family is also among them. As long as you agree to this matter, most of them will not fail." Chen Wansan stood up and said solemnly, then walked out, and returned to his residence under the leadership of a Zhu family.
"Uncle, do you think we will do this or not?" A slightly younger Zhu family member next to Zhu Chengjun stood up and said.
"Chen Wansan's words make sense. Sooner or later, we will face the Zhao family. As long as Xiaoqi safely enters Xuanhuo Sect this time, we will definitely be the winner. As for this matter, let me ask the master first to see if it is feasible." Zhu Xiao's eyes shrink and he said calmly.
"I'll be here today. I'll be here tomorrow morning when the rooster cries first. At that time, I'll know whether to do it or not. Okay, you all go." Zhu Yang ordered.
When everyone stood up, he added, "Don't mention everything at this meeting, including his wife and children."
"We can save it." Everyone agreed.
So the room became empty for a while, and only Zhu Xiao and Zhu Yang were still inside.
