Although the tournament only lasts for one day, because the major families are at different distances from here, the major families and the various forces coming to watch the battle will arrive in the valley one day in advance and stay in the valley for one night.
The conditions are indeed a bit difficult, but all major aristocratic families have acquiesced in this approach. It can be regarded as a small test for the new disciples in the clan. If you can't even endure this little hardship, it will naturally be difficult for you to become a great person.
According to the convention of previous conferences, there would be no contact between the various forces this night, especially the three major families. However, when everyone settled down, they unexpectedly discovered that Xu Qingchen, the head of the Xu family, was
He took several Xu family members to the area of the Gongsun family.
This scene made everyone stunned, and they were all guessing. Could it be that because the Bai family has Lou Yun, a powerful foreign aid, the Xu family and the Gongsun family want to form an alliance to deal with the Bai family together?
Not successful?
The people of the Bai family naturally noticed this, and Bai Jinfan immediately asked Bai Yichen to tell Lou Yun the news. Although they also thought about the possibility of an alliance between the Xu family and the Gongsun family, as long as Lou Yun was around, they did not
It was so alarming, but they just couldn't figure it out. After the martial arts competition, Gongsun Ran's great-grandson was going to marry Bai Miaozhu of the Bai family. The two families would soon become the Qin family. At this time, should the Gongsun family still have their own family?
One piece?
When Lou Yun got the news, he was moved in his heart. He just nodded without expressing any opinion. Although he also thought of the possibility that everyone thought of, he thought that this possibility would not exist at all. Gongsun Ran was the most popular one.
Those who know his strength will definitely not have the courage to join forces with the Xu family to deal with the Bai family at this time!
A moment later, an even more astonishing scene occurred. The heads of the Xu family, the head of the Gongsun family, and Gongsun Ran arrived at the Bai family together.
No matter what the purpose of these three people was, as the three of them, Bai Jinfan and his father personally greeted them. After a few people chatted in low voices for a while, Bai Jinfan hurriedly invited Lou Yun over, and then
The scene that followed once again exceeded everyone's expectations.
Lou Yun and the other six people actually took out their spiritual weapons, stepped on them and flew away!
After they left, the entire valley immediately felt like a pot was exploding. Not only did people from other small forces have various speculations about the departure of the six people, but even people from the three major aristocratic families started to whisper.
Discussions started, but no matter what everyone's guesses were, the real answer could only be revealed after the six people came back.
On the top of a mountain not far from the valley, Lou Yun and six other people were sitting on the ground. Gongsun Ran actually introduced Xu Qingchen, the head of the Xu family, to Lou Yun personally, and then said: "Brother Lou, this time we will send you
I made an appointment because I want to discuss something with you."
Lou Yun smiled slightly and said: "Brother Gongsun, what do you want to talk about?"
"It's like this. I don't think Brother Lou should participate in this martial arts competition, so as to give others a chance to learn from each other!"
Hearing these words, Bai Jinfan and the elder were furious. The key to the Bai family's victory lies with Lou Yun. Now Gongsun Ran hopes that Lou Yun will not participate. That is not a show of force.
Do you want the Bai family to lose?
Although they were extremely angry, since these words were said by Gongsun Ran, the two of them did not have the courage to refute them openly.
On the contrary, Lou Yun was not angry at all, and asked with a smile: "Brother Gongsun, if you ask me not to participate in the competition now, I can agree, but what are the conditions?"
Gongsun Ran laughed and said: "I know Brother Lou understands what I mean. The conditions have been discussed with the head of the Xu family. My Gongsun family and the Xu family will each give a city to the Bai family!"
The conditions offered by Gongsun Ran made the two Bai family members, who were still angry just now, instantly excited, but Lou Yun continued calmly: "Which two cities?"
"Gongsun Vice City!"
Xu Qingchen followed closely: "Yanwu City!"
Lou Yun nodded, looked at Bai Jinfan and said, "Brother Bai, do you think you can accept the conditions proposed by Brother Gongsun and Brother Xu?"
Lou Yun gave Bai Jinfan, the head of the Bai family, a lot of face. Bai Jinfan was obviously a little flattered and said: "Elder Lou, please allow me to discuss this with my father!"
Lou Yun nodded, turned around and started making household chores with Gongsun Ran with a smile.
The purpose of the tournament is actually to reshuffle the cards and re-divide the territories occupied by the three major families. Now since the Gongsun family and the Xu family each sent a city to the Bai family, the Bai family owns three cities. Although
Still not as powerful as the Gongsun family, but at least on par with the Xu family
Because Lou Yun didn't know the situation of these two cities, he deliberately asked the names of the two cities in order to make Bai Jinfan think carefully about how much territory the Bai family could own if they owned these two cities.
But he could also guess the final result. Gongsun Ran was absolutely sincere. The city he gave away to the Gongsun family was called Gongsun Vice City. It was obviously a city second only to the main city. It must be quite large in area.
The reason why the Xu family also gave away a city was probably because Gongsun Ran was the lobbyist.
For the Gongsun family, since their family is already dominant in Dongjun, there are only two ways to continue to stabilize their dominance. One is to destroy all other forces, and the other is to let Bai
The power of the Xu family and the Xu family are equal, so they should keep each other in check. The other family must not be allowed to grow stronger and threaten the Gongsun family.
Taking the first path, it was possible to destroy the Xu family, but to destroy the Bai family, he would not dare to borrow Gongsun Ran's courage, so he could only choose the second path to make the Xu family and the Bai family equal in power.
, keep each other in check, so that his Gongsun family can sit back and relax!
Lou Yun's guess is correct. The Gongsun family owns 60% of the area in Dongjun. Before tonight, the Xu family owned 30% and the Bai family only had 10%. Now, after the detailed planning of Gongsun Ran and others, although they have given away a
City, but the Gongsun family still has more than 50% of the area, and the Xu family and the Bai family have both become a little more than 20%. In this way, even if the Xu family and the Bai family unite, they cannot pose a threat to the Gongsun family, so
, why not be generous and win over the Xu family, and each family will send a city to the Bai family. It will be beneficial to you, and you can also please Lou Yun, killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it?
As for the Xu family, they were naturally unwilling. However, Gongsun Ran came forward in person and tactfully pointed out the identity of Lou Yunbing. With a little more pressure, the Xu family had no choice but to agree.
A moment later, Bai Jinfan's voice full of surprise sounded: "Elder Lou, we can accept this condition!"
"Okay!" Lou Yun nodded and said: "Brother Gongsun and Brother Xu, as long as you two hand over the city deeds of the two cities to the Bai family, I will be an audience member tomorrow!"
…
When Lou Yun and the other six people reappeared in the valley, everyone who had been discussing the reasons for their departure suddenly became quiet. Most people thought that they must have gone to compete first, but when the six people appeared,
They found that except for the people of the Xu family who looked depressed, the people of the Gongsun and Bai families were actually very happy.
Lou Yun did not participate in the martial arts competition the next day, which made those who came to watch the competition a little disappointed. Fortunately, the people from the three major families who participated in the competition also tried their best, especially
In the battle between the Xu family and the Bai family, both sides were as if they had been given blood. The fight was very exciting, and it was finally a feast for everyone's eyes.
The result of the final martial arts competition was slightly different from previous years. Although the Gongsun family was still the biggest winner, the Bai family and the Xu family ended up in a tie.
Although at the time, no one understood what was going on, a few days later, everyone discovered a shocking thing. That is, a city in the Gongsun family and a city in the Xu family had changed their names and became Bai.
The Bai family, which was originally the weakest among the three major families, changed the number of cities it owned from one city to three cities, and its power suddenly rose, even surpassing the Xu family and becoming the second most powerful family in East County.
aristocratic family
Regarding this change, people from the three major aristocratic families kept silent. It was just like the Chang Mansion in Gongsun's main city turned into a Lou Mansion overnight. It was as if the other two cities originally belonged to the Bai family.
!
However, this also gave those busybodies countless versions of speculation about what happened after the heads of the three major families left that night.
…
Lou Yun was sitting in Bai Yichen's room in Baijiazhuang, and the entire Bai family, including the three elders, Bai Jinfan and others, all stood respectfully in front of Lou Yun. They came to solemnly express their gratitude to Lou Yun.
of
Bai Jinfan respectfully handed twenty pieces of sixth-grade spiritual crystals to Lou Yun and said: "Elder Lou, this gift is not respectful, so please accept it!"
Lou Yun smiled and waved his hands and said: "No need, Brother Bai, I accept it with kindness. These spirit crystals are still reserved for your descendants of the Bai family!"
Then, Lou Yun suppressed his smile and said: "Everyone, although the Gongsun family and the Xu family each gave you a city, whether you can truly turn these two cities into the Bai family's will require your own efforts in the future.
, I have done almost everything Lou can do. I will leave here in a few days, and I don’t know when I will be able to come back, so you should take care of yourself!"
Although the Bai family knew that Lou Yun could not stay in the Bai family for a long time, when they really heard the news, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, especially Bai Yichen, who couldn't help but said directly: "Brother, you go
Where? I'll go with you!"
Lou Yun really liked this brother. He smiled and shook his head and said: "Yi Chen, you are the hope of the Bai family in the future. You can't leave, but don't worry, I will come back as long as I am free, and you are not
Did you give me a messenger stone? If you encounter something that cannot be solved, just let me know and I will try my best to come over!"
At this point, Lou Yun's expression suddenly condensed, his brows furrowed and he said: "You guys leave first, I have guests arriving!"
