The sky turned a dull white, and soon after, wisps of morning light shone on this magnificent city, adding a bit of brilliance to it.
The morning light shone through the translucent tiles on the house and onto the blue translucent stone slabs. A slight soft light shone on a delicate face. When the soft light shone on the young face, the young man's closed eyes faintly
It moved a little.
The young man's eyes, which were as straight as rocks, moved at the corners of his eyes, and then they suddenly opened. His black eyes, like stars, gave people a sense of depth, making it difficult to see through. When the young man opened his eyes, a bright light appeared in his eyes.
There was a flash in his eyes and disappeared into the depths of his eyes.
"Huh~"
Letting out a soft breath, Mu Yi stood up slightly, straightened his clothes slightly, and washed himself casually for a while.
Boom!
When everything was sorted out, there was a gentle knock on the door. He quickly opened the door and saw the pale Yu who was still wearing a black robe.
"Haha, good morning, quite on time." He patted Bai Baiyu's shoulder lightly and said.
"Haha, it's time to set off." Bai Baiyu said with a faint smile, it was time to do business today.
The two of them quickly walked out of their residence. The flow of people outside was very large and the streets seemed to be congested. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people attending the Chai family's birthday today. Looking at the luxurious people walking in the direction of the Chai family,
Horse-drawn carriages or crowds of people wearing luxurious clothes riding various horses.
Mu Yi and Bai Wanyu were also walking slowly among the crowd. It seemed that the person from the Chai family who was celebrating his birthday today was really quite dignified.
In fact, the person who held the banquet today was Chai Chen, the eldest elder of the Chai family. This person was a big figure in the Chai family. Although Chai Chen was the eldest elder of the Chai family, he usually took over the position of head of the family temporarily. The entire Chai family was
It is managed by him, and the head of the Chai family retired a few years ago to concentrate on retreat.
Under the leadership of Chai Chen, the Chai family can be said to be prospering and becoming the overlord of the party. Chai Chen's name is resounding among the major families and is very famous. It is precisely because of such speed and methods that he has also won a title.
:Zi Zi Chai!
At this time in the courtyard of Chai Family Mansion!
The spacious hall was crowded with people, extremely lively, and filled with a festive atmosphere.
On the specific seats placed in the hall, sat the leaders or representatives of the forces from the eastern provinces of the empire. For the most powerful force in the eastern part of the Long Empire, although many people wished that the Chai family would collapse soon, on the surface
It takes effort, but it still has to be done extremely well.
At the head of the high platform in the hall, an old man with gray hair in rich clothes was clasping his fists and saluting to the guests coming and going below. He seemed to enjoy the gaze of countless envious eyes, so his old face was filled with joy.
A slightly proud smile that never stopped.
The old man is the eldest elder of the Chai family, Chai Cheng, and is also a pillar of the Chai family. The current status of the Chai family is almost entirely due to him.
"Lord Hou Mu, the Lord of Fengmin City, is here!"
At the gate, a loud announcement came into the hall, making the noisy hall slightly quiet. A series of strange eyes swept towards the gate. Generally speaking, officials from the empire would not take the initiative to participate.
Local forces celebrated, but the Lord of Fengmin City came to celebrate in front of a large audience. This move made everyone understand that the Chai family had opened up all the access roads up and down Fengmin City.
With official support and the prince as their backing, it's no wonder that the Chai family's strength has skyrocketed in recent years, and there is a faint tendency to dominate all the forces in the northeastern provinces.
"Haha, Elder Chai Cheng, congratulations." At the gate, a group of people surrounded a middle-aged fat man in gorgeous clothes. He walked in with a smile on his face and smiled affectionately at Chai Cheng on the stage.
"Haha, Mr. Hou Mu, if you can help me, please come here in person. Please come quickly." He smiled at this fat man who had made countless profits from the Chai family over the years. A cold murderous intention flashed in Chai Cheng's heart, and his face
But with a smile on his face, he guided him to the special seat on the high platform with his bare hands.
After joking for a few words with the Lord of Fengmin City, another loud announcement sounded at the door.
"Master Ye Cong, the head of the Ye family, is here!"
Hearing this name, Chai Cheng was slightly startled, and then a half-smiling expression appeared on his face. This Ye family is one of the other three major families in the Northeast Province. Although its power is somewhat different from that of the Chai family, it has only been a few years.
The accumulation of wealth has also made the Ye family's strength not to be underestimated. The reason why Chai Cheng showed such an expression was naturally because the head of the Ye family came to congratulate him in person. According to normal circumstances, the relationship between the four major families in the Northeast is as strong as water.
Fire, it is absolutely impossible to congratulate the other party, and now this somewhat unexpected situation of the Ye family obviously implies a hint of flattery. Obviously, as the strength of the Chai family has greatly increased, this Ye family
The mentality of being hostile to the family has also been shaken a lot.
"Haha, Mr. Chai Cheng, you are really getting stronger with age. This territory in the Northeast is about to be completely eaten up by this old man." A middle-aged man with a thin face walked into the hall with a big smile and faced Chai Cheng on the stage.
smiled.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Ye Cong's clan leader would also come over. I'm really honored." Chai Cheng said with a smile, and exchanged a few words with Ye Congpi without a smile, and then welcomed him to the high position.
Next, a large number of powerful leaders with high status in the northeastern provinces of the Long Empire came one after another. For a time, nearly seventy-eight percent of the forces in the northeastern provinces gathered in this lively hall.
It is truly a rare event.
Looking at the hall full of distinguished guests, the smile on Chai Cheng's face became thicker and thicker. Among the northeastern provinces, there is no one else who can have such appeal except his Chai family.
Home.
The smile on Chai Cheng's face finally bloomed like a chrysanthemum after hearing the last announcement. He stepped off the stage in person and walked quickly towards the gate.
As the focus of the audience, Chai Cheng's actions naturally attracted everyone's attention. Seeing that he actually went out to greet him in person, he was a little shocked and couldn't help but whisper. In this eastern province, it is possible for people to
It seems that there are not many people who are treated so enthusiastically by the eldest elder of the Chai family.
While everyone in the hall was having different thoughts, on the top floor, two figures in black robes appeared in a strange flash, their feet firmly stepped on the beam, their eyes swept across the hall, and then they moved to
Chai Cheng on the side!
"That should be Chai Cheng, the eldest elder of the Chai family, known as Chai Zichai, right?" Mu Yi said calmly as his eyes swept over the thin old man with a smile on his face.
"Yes." Bai Baiyu nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Mu Yi, and said, "What are you going to do next?"
"Destroy the place... As you said, capture the old bastard first, and then let them hand over the things. Chai Cheng is almost a pillar that cannot fall down for the Chai family, so I think about his life.
It should be worth some money." Mu Yi put his palms in his sleeves, stared at Chai Cheng closely like a poisonous snake, and said coldly.
"What an unlucky old guy, he met the evil star Mu Yi on this day." Hearing this, Bai Yu nodded and silently mourned for a few seconds for Chai Cheng, who was looking so proud.
At this time, a group of people came out of the gate. The leader was an old man in gorgeous clothes. The aura exuded by the old man was long and restrained. He was at least a strong man with three stars. Behind him was a row of elite soldiers. These were well organized.
The orderly soldier brother has a steady aura, and at first glance he looks like a well-trained elite soldier.
"Haha, Master Chai, the prince has been busy with official duties recently, so he asked me to come here to congratulate him. It seems that he is late today." Ge Ye looked at Chai Chen who was walking towards him and said with a smile.
"Haha, it's not too late, it's not too late. It's an honor for me, Chai, to come. Please come quickly." He waved his hand quickly and politely led the kudzu leaf inside.
When they saw this person, the heads of the surrounding families who were sitting in high positions all showed surprised expressions. Unexpectedly, the prince actually sent people here to congratulate him. Could it be that the Chai family has really climbed so high?
In the hall, Chai Cheng finally stopped talking, stood up slowly, looked around the various forces in the hall, smiled and pressed his hands. Suddenly, the noisy atmosphere gradually became quiet.
He stopped and turned his gaze one after another.
"Haha, thank you very much for coming to this old party like me. I must have clearly stated in your invitations that there is an important matter that I want to discuss with you at this party." I can see the atmosphere.
After gradually calming down, Chai Cheng smiled.
After hearing Chai Cheng's words, everyone in the hall immediately pricked up their ears.
"Recently, our Chai family has had internal discussions to prepare for the establishment of a big clan alliance... This big clan alliance is not a strict organization. It just wants to bring some friendly forces together and then work together to obtain some benefits that are extremely beneficial to both parties. After all, one person
The strength of the family is far inferior to that of several families... And here I accept that as long as you join the alliance of the big clans, you will be an ally of the Chai family, and have privileges such as enjoying the Chai family's intelligence and military assistance... What do you think?
If you are interested in this alliance of big clans, you might as well cooperate together." Chai Cheng said with a smile.
Hearing Chai Cheng's words, everyone in the hall had different expressions. Although Chai Cheng said it was not a strict organization, they all knew that once they joined this so-called alliance of big clans, they would be equivalent to being...
With the Chai family's mark, you may be able to get protection from the Chai family in the future, but this is indirectly equivalent to being absorbed by the Chai family.
There was a brief silence in the hall. After a while, some small and weak forces finally began to speak out and said they were willing to join the big clan alliance. Many of them had already made up their minds.
I want to take refuge in the Chai family.
With the beginning, some medium-sized forces who were afraid of the Chai family and were afraid of being blacklisted by them, after hesitating for a while, many people also chose to join.
Sitting at the top of the table, looking at the forces that were constantly pouring against the Chai family, Chai Chen frowned slightly, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Kuzu Ye, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes.
