Volume 1 First Meeting in Life Chapter 11 The Clan Association Begins
With the successful conclusion of the entrance ceremony, the clan meeting begins.
The clan association will list the younger generations who have performed well in this ceremony as the family's training targets, and the elders in the clan will select disciples. After they have completed their studies, they will be sent to Skywalker for training.
Regardless of the collateral or direct lineage in the family, it is an iron rule of the eldest grandson family to gain Skywalker experience.
From this point of view, it is not unreasonable for the Changsun family to be so powerful in Lishan City.
But the highlight of every clan meeting is the determination of the heir.
Changsun Wentian proposed at the beginning of the establishment of the clan that the heir of the Changsun family would never be a coward. Anyone could challenge the heir at the clan meeting. If he lost, he would abolish the heir and choose another one.
Of course, the people who challenge here are definitely people of the same generation. It is absolutely impossible for an elder to attack a younger person.
At the same time, powerful families and business firms in the city will be invited to attend the meeting in order to solicit their opinions.
It was at the clan meeting last year that the clan elders proposed to abolish his status as heir, and then the eldest grandson ran away from home angrily.
Thinking of this, Changsun smiled bitterly and shook his head. One year... is really fast. I don't know what will be waiting for me in this year's clan meeting. I think the voices opposing my inheritance will be more fierce and tougher than last year.
"Master, Master, we have arrived at the clan meeting hall." Chu Li called out when he saw his eldest grandson lost in thought in front of the clan meeting hall.
Changsun turned his head and looked at Chu Li, who was nervous and hesitant to speak, and understood that Chu Li was worried about him.
"Silly girl, just say what you want to say."
Chu Li hesitated for a long time and said: "No matter what, the young master is Chu Li's young master. If those evil people still want to do something else, we will take the master and leave Lishan City. Master, won't you say it? As long as the family is there, we can go anywhere."
is home."
After hearing Chu Li's words, Changsun felt warm in his heart. In his previous life, he had no family and had never felt the warmth of his family. Now in this strange and incomplete continent, Changsun wants to keep this warmth and shoulder this responsibility.
Seeing Chu Li's serious and determined expression, Changsun smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to mess up Chu Li's bangs.
"Chu Li is right, Chu Li will always be my Chu Li. When this time is over, the young master will take Chu Li and grandpa out of here, okay."
Chu Li blushed with embarrassment at Changsun's words and affectionate behavior, and whispered "Yeah" in a low voice.
Changsun turned around with a smile, and the gentleness in his eyes turned into determination. Behind him was the person he wanted to protect, and he could not retreat no matter what.
The eldest grandson walked resolutely towards the clan meeting hall, held on to the solid wooden door of the clan meeting hall, pushed the door open with all his strength, and walked into the clan meeting hall.
At this time, most of the people in the clan hall have arrived. The main seat opposite the door is Changsun Wentian, who has not yet arrived.
Sitting on one side of the discussion table were the elders of the clan and the backbone of the Skywalkers, with Nangong Ao sitting at the head. Sitting on the other side were the major family business houses in the city.
Seeing the eldest grandson walking in, everyone present had mocking expressions. They must have been prepared to see how the eldest grandson would make a fool of himself at the clan meeting later. However, Nangong Ao, as if he didn't notice the eldest grandson coming in, sat still and remained silent.
The eldest grandson looked around and ignored the teasing and mocking glances. He just nodded to the Siqin girl from Hongxiu Pavilion and sat down in his seat.
The position of the eldest grandson is directly opposite the eldest grandson Wentian. At this end of the long discussion table, it looks like Xingtai where he is being judged.
The spacious clan meeting hall was now full of people. Soon after the eldest grandson came in, the eldest grandson Wentian also walked into the clan meeting hall and sat at the front seat. The clan meeting officially began.
Changsun Wentian saw that everyone had arrived and said, "Thank you all for coming to this clan meeting. Time flies so fast. Another year has passed. We old bones can't run away with time after all."
, he will be eliminated soon."
Changsun Wentian looked at his peers and said, the elders present also laughed. The atmosphere in the room relaxed slightly.
After everyone laughed, Changsun Wentian continued: "Okay, since we can't run away with time, let's cherish the time. I won't be nagging anymore. Let's get to the point of today. In recent years, I, Skywalker, have been responsible for the defense of the city. The pressure is
It’s really not small, these juniors are also exhausted, this year I decided to take out this defense task and let those who are capable take it on, what do you think?”
As soon as Changsun Wentian said these words, everyone present was immediately shocked.
The defense of the city is a fat job, not a hard job like Changsun Wentian said.
After all, whoever takes on the role of guarding the city means that the large and small family merchants in the city will have to pay taxes and fees to him. To put it bluntly, it is protection fee, which is not a small amount of money.
The most important thing is that the guards in the city are equivalent to firmly controlling Lishan City, which is undoubtedly the biggest temptation for the major family businesses.
Changsun Wentian's unexpected move not only shocked other family forces in the city, but also shocked his own elders and the backbone of the Skywalkers on the spot.
The Yue family is not one of the four major families in Lishan City, but it is still considered a powerful family. At this time, the head of the Yue family, Yue Chi, was the fastest to respond.
Before the people present could react, Yue Chi stood up and said: "The head of the Changsun family has worked tirelessly for the stability of the city these years. As a member of the Yue family, I feel guilty that I cannot share the worries of the head of the Changsun family. But today, the head of the Changsun family has
This matter has been raised. Although my Yue family is not strong enough, I am willing to share the worries of the family head, and at the same time I am willing to contribute to the stability of Lishan City."
Seeing that the Yue family had taken the lead, the other family forces present rushed to express their determination.
Liu Yu, the head of the Liu family who was sitting in the first seat on the right hand side of Changsun Wentian, said: "The Yue Chi family is worthy of Yue Chi, and his reaction is getting faster and faster. But doesn't the Yue family head consider the weight of his family before speaking?"
Everyone below agreed, but the Yuejia who was the first to speak became the target of public criticism. The reason was that he was not strong enough.
At this time, the pot was boiling, and no one was willing to let go of such a piece of fat meat.
On the other hand, everyone in the Changsun family seemed to have swallowed flies. It was obvious that Changsun Wentian did not discuss this move with anyone in advance.
But due to the majesty of the eldest grandson Wentian, no one in the eldest grandson's family dared to speak.
The most unhappy person was definitely Nangong Ao, whose face was so gloomy that it seemed like it was dripping with water.
The eldest grandson did not expect that his grandfather would do something like this, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood his intention.
After a dispute, the guards in the city finally fell into the hands of the most powerful Liu family.
Seeing that things were about to be completed, someone finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Master, I have objections. We, Skywalkers, can still do our job of guarding the city, but we cannot leave it to others."
The person who spoke was the backbone of the Skywalkers, named Meng Zhi, who was Nangong Ao's lieutenant and could be regarded as Nangong Ao's loyal follower.
Unexpectedly, it was not Nangong Ao who failed to hold back in the end, but his deputy general.
Changsun Wentian was not in a hurry to speak after hearing this, but Liu Yu, the head of the Liu family, immediately changed his expression and stared at Meng Zhi with a gloomy look. Just as he was about to speak, Nangong Ao snapped first: "Meng Zhi, step back, there is someone here.
Do you have the right to speak?"
After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Changsun Wentian, clasping his fists and saying, "My subordinates are not strict in their discipline. Please punish me, head of the family."
Seeing Nangong Ao's behavior, Changsun Wentian waved his hand and said: "Xiao Ao, I'm serious. Since the matter is put on the table, it will naturally be discussed. It is normal for Meng Zhi to speak on behalf of Skywalker. I have not talked to you before.
I am afraid that you will have a strong reaction like Meng Zhi. I know that you have worked hard and achieved great results in leading the Skywalker defense for so many years. You also know the city best. It’s time to take a rest. I can’t let you do that hard work all the time.
Bar."
"The head of the family made a serious statement. It is my duty to share the family's worries." Nangong Ao still said with his hands clasped and his head lowered, his gloomy face no one could see.
"Is the head of the Changsun family mentally ill? He gave up such a piece of fat to others. Skywalker handed over the job of guarding the city. Isn't this equivalent to cutting off his arms?" Hongxiuge Ge Yuqi stood behind Siqin,
Possessed and whispered in Siqin's ear.
"Not only is the head of the Changsun family not bad-minded, but this move is extremely clever and ruthless," Siqin replied.
Yuqi couldn't understand even more when he saw Si Qin saying this.
Seeing that Yuqi was still confused, Si Qin asked with a smile: "Today, how much of Skywalker belongs to Changsun Wentian, and how much of it is in Nangong Ao's hands."
Yuqi replied: "A few years ago, Skywalker should be absolutely in the hands of Changsun Wentian, but since Changsun Wentian's son passed away, now it is considered good to have two points of Skywalker in the hands of Changsun Wentian.
Already."
After hearing this, Siqin nodded and said, "Since those arms are no longer my own, how could I have cut off my own arms?"
"The guards in this city are really good. Nangong Ao leads Skywalker to protect Lishan City, which also makes Skywalker bigger and bigger. If this continues in a few years, I am afraid that this clan meeting will not need to be opened. Lishan City's number one
The name of the big family is not the eldest grandson."
"And the highlight today is the next heir. Everyone knows that Nangong Ao wants to depose Changsun as the heir. Nine out of ten people present also support Nangong Ao. Now Changsun Wentian throws out such a big benefit because he wants to
It aroused conflicts among the people present, and the most important thing was to tear open the rift between Nangong Ao and his allies."
After hearing this, Yuqi nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "But I saw that Nangong Ao didn't show any dissatisfaction just now. It's just that his deputy general was more excited."
Si Qin then explained: "Nangong Ao's reaction is not unpleasant. Changsun Wentian offered such a benefit because he wanted Nangong Ao to stand up and oppose it, or for someone to stand up and speak for Nangong Ao."
"This Meng Zhi just couldn't change his mind and followed Changsun Wentian's wishes. Although Nangong Ao stood up later and tried his best to show that he had no complaints."
"But Jiang is still old and hot. Changsun Wentian's last words are intended to put this hat on Nangong Ao's head. You have to wear it even if you don't want to wear it."
"And the last sentence also said that you have the clearest grasp of this city. Didn't you see that Liu Yu's eyes immediately became wary when he looked at Nangong Ao? These short sentences seem to be understatements and have no strength.
But in fact, it is just a thorn that has pierced deeply into the hearts of Liu Yu and Nangong Ao. It will not be so easy to pull out in the future, and Liu Yu cannot refuse this thorn even if he wants to."
"This is what is called attacking the heart first."
After hearing this, Yuqi thought for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
The conversation between Siqin and Yuqi was not heard by anyone else, but those present were all old foxes, and they all understood it, but they had to fall into Changsun Wentian's plan.
