Great Martial Arts Auxiliary System

Chapter 909
That night, the families of the five surnames received the news of Shangguan Qiuyu's arrival.

Each family reacted differently, but they all fell silent immediately, and none of them were ready to contact Shangguan Qiuyu, the Shangguan family's major general, for the first time.

Obviously, he was concerned about Shangguan Qiuyu's arrival.

The Shangguan family's major general came in person, and in the eyes of each family, it must be not a small matter. If you go there rashly, you may fall into the lower ranks.

The current situation in the world is unclear, and the five-surname family obviously does not want to get involved easily at this time.

However, not all of the five families are calm. Among them, Xiong and Ji have some disputes over whether to invite Shangguan Qiuyu.

Many people think that families with five surnames should be connected with each other, and that they should not make decisions without any communication.

But not everyone here thinks so. Some of the Xiong family, including Roudunnan's father, were very moved after learning what Shangguan Qiuyu said at noon.

Since the beginning of the Southern Land, it has been dominated by five families with five surnames. Although the power of the five major families is also strong and weak, the overall strength is not much different.

Therefore, a very balanced state has been maintained among the five surname families.

However, in addition to the five surnamed families in the Five Sacred Cities, there are also many powerful local aristocratic families in the southern land.

Because of the vertical and horizontal waterways, the southern land has always had an advantage in water conservancy, so it has rarely been invaded by foreign forces in the south.

In such a comfortable environment, the local forces in various places have surged, which is not much worse than that in the Central Plains.

These forces are huge in number and innumerable, the only thing lacking is foundation.

The Central Plains has always been the center of the world, and it has always been the focus of efforts of all parties.

However, due to the late development of the south, even the local forces like Xichuan or the Southland have a much weaker background than all the forces in the Central Plains.

However, this gap is now slowly beginning to narrow.

In the Central Plains, dragons and snakes are mixed together, and the struggle is bound to be much more cruel than that in the south.

Whenever there is a great chaos, the strength of the major forces in the Central Plains will drop by one point after some cleansing.

However, because the local power is not strong in the south, it often takes advantage of the trend.

Once a unified and powerful regime emerges in the Central Plains, the local forces in the south will inevitably adopt the power to rely on it.

Over time, although it is difficult to form a powerful political power in the south, the background of the local forces in the south is increasing day by day, greatly shortening the distance from the Central Plains.

However, there are a lot of ingredients in this thing, and the congenitally deficient south wants to catch up with the trend of the Central Plains, but it still needs to continue to work hard.

At least in today's south, there is still no possibility of a game with the Central Plains.

Of course, the main reason why the south is like this is due to human nature.

The climate in the south is essentially different from that in the north of the Central Plains. The climate in the south is mild, which makes people's personalities similar to the climate.

Living in an area where the four seasons are like spring all year round, the people at the bottom will naturally lose a share of the atmosphere of the people in the Central Plains and the martial spirit of the northern regions.

This is caused by nature, not by human beings.

It is this inherent deficiency that makes it difficult for the southern forces to have a hero.

Even if a powerful hero appears at the bottom, it will be killed in the bud by the conservative forces in the south.

As for the upper-class forces in the south, it is generally believed that even if the south is unified, it will be difficult to compete with the northern forces in the Central Plains.

This kind of thinking has caused the southern forces to like to follow the trend, and following the trend has become a general trend that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Now the Shangguan family, the dragon crossing the river in the north, has penetrated deep into the south, and has taken root in the five states of southern Xinjiang.

It can be seen from this that as long as there are no major accidents, the situation in the south will inevitably undergo tremendous changes due to the existence of the Shangguan family.

Instead of making friends with Shangguan's family at that time, it is better to form a relationship with them now.

Moreover, Ji Xiong's family is also very interested in the perfume and other things sold by Shangguan's house.

There is a saying that first come, first served. Although the five surname families have always followed the principle of the five families advancing and retreating together.

This is the general trend, and the five-surname family will not change anyway.

However, although the general trend cannot be changed, it is okay to change the small trend.

There are quite a few wealthy families in the south. Although the five-surnamed families have monopolized the grain and shipping industries, they don't make much money when the interests of the five families are shared equally.

What Shangguan Qiuyu mentioned made Ji Xiong's family feel a little moved.

Regarding this kind of behavior that can arbitrarily extort money from other wealthy families in the South, the two high-level officials have their own careful thinking.

In the inner courtyard of the Xiong Mansion, after Xiong Wu, the second master of the Xiong family, returned from his old father's study, he immediately sent someone to recruit his third son, who had always been stubborn.

Seeing that his father hadn't spoken for a long time, the meaty man couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

If you say that the third young master of the Xiong family is fearless outside, he has always been a well-known playboy.

However, the third young master of the Xiong family, who is a dude outside, can't help but feel frightened in front of his own father.

Probing his head, winking at his elder brother for a long time, but there was no response, the meaty man couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After a long time, Xiong Wu opened his mouth and asked his eldest son, Xiong Wu:

"Chen'er, did you find anything?"

Hearing his father's question, Xiong Chen quickly reported to his father one by one what he knew:

"Father, according to the report from the people below, the Shangguan family has transported a large amount of grain into the Southland during this period, and the specific reason is temporarily unknown.

However, there are rumors that Lord Zhen Guo was assassinated by a mysterious person in Xichuan, and the Western Expeditionary Army has now retreated to Jingguan to garrison, and the specific circumstances are unknown.

The boy guessed that the appearance of the Shangguan family's major general in our territory should be related to the assassination of Zhen Guogong.

However, this is just a guess on the part of Hai'er, and Hai'er does not know exactly how. "

"Duke Zhen was assassinated? The Western Expeditionary Army retreated to Jingguan?" Xiong Wu couldn't help muttering to himself after hearing this.

"Mo Fei"

"Father" didn't wait for Xiong Wu to think about it, but the meaty man beside him couldn't wait any longer.

"Press?" Being interrupted by his own son, Xiong Wu couldn't help but glance at him with displeasure.

He waved his hand and said to him without asking anything:

"Go down first, I will send someone to call you if something happens."

Seeing his father sending someone to recruit him in a hurry, and now sending him back without explaining anything, the meaty man couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing that his father didn't seem interested in talking to him.

So, the meaty man had no choice but to bow his hands honestly, and left the study with a depressed expression on his face.

"Father, the third brother..." Xiong Chen still had some expectations for his third brother who had started to change his gender.

"Needless to say, it would be great if Xiaobao could really change his nature.

However, the most important thing now is not your third brother's problem, but you need to find out as soon as possible which Shangguan major general is here and what is the matter.

Your grandfather has personally intervened in this matter, therefore, you must do it as soon as possible. "

For the third son whose sex has started to change, Xiong Wu is naturally very pleased to see him.

However, at this moment, it was not the time to deal with his son's personal affairs.

The Xiong family attached great importance to Shangguan Qiuyu's arrival, and this was the most important thing.

Therefore, he naturally didn't have time to pay too much attention to the matter of the meaty man.

"Yes, my child understands." Xiong Chen, who knew the importance of it, naturally didn't say anything more.
