At this point, Yuan Xi looked at the Zhen family with a sullen expression, and asked in a deep voice: "What is Madam's intention? This thief insults my Yuan family like this, his words are hateful, and his heart is damnable. No matter who is here in my Yuan family, , will not let it go! Could it be that you want to cover up this thief?"

"Hmph! You are using strong words to make sense. If you want to inflict crimes, there is nothing wrong with it!" Mrs. Zhen snorted coldly, and said sharply: "If you hadn't been rude today, you despised my uncle of the Zhen family and deceived my Zhen family. How can you be as knowledgeable as you! No matter how much you argue about today's matter, I will not allow you to act recklessly in my Zhen residence!"

Seeing that Zhen's attitude was so tough, Yuan Xi was furious immediately, and shouted at Zhen's face to face: "Don't forget that this is Jizhou, and Zhongshan is also a county under my father's rule. No one dares to fight with me." The Yuan family is against you! Even if your Zhen family is rich and wealthy, so what? If you offend my Yuan family, your family will be ruined overnight and you will be reduced to a prisoner! If you don’t believe me, you can try it and see if it’s you The Zhen family is powerful, but my Yuan family is stronger! How to choose, you have to think clearly, so as not to make mistakes!"

After Zhen Shi heard the words, a trace of worry appeared on Qiao's face, and her eyes were a little flustered, as if she wanted to retreat.

The old god has been sitting there motionless Feng Ji.After hearing Yuan Xi's remarks, he nodded slightly, his impression of Yuan Xi was greatly changed, and there was a look of appreciation in his eyes.

At this time, Li Li secretly felt very happy in his heart.Quite a taste of schadenfreude.Things have developed to the place where he is now, and he has achieved his intended purpose.The Zhen family and Yuan Xi have already extended the conflict to the family level.This means that the two families have reached the point of tearing their faces apart.Although Yuan Xi cannot represent the Yuan family, the Zhen family can represent the Zhen family, and Yuan Xi is Yuan Shao's son after all; no matter how big a mistake he makes, even though Yuan Shao dislikes him very much, he will not treat him badly Sample.After all, a tiger's poison does not eat its sons, and a son is always a son.How can it be compared with outsiders.

In view of this, Li Li was not silent anymore, and sternly said to Yuan Xi: "Yuan Xianyi, you don't need to intimidate. A fox pretends to be a tiger! One person does something and one person is responsible. Today's matter has nothing to do with the Zhen family. Although I am a relative of the Zhen family, I am not the Zhen family. If anything comes at me, I will do it with all my strength. You want to kill me, no problem, but you can't be in the Zhen family, which will damage the reputation of the Zhen family. Let's go to the county government school to compete, life and death will be safe Destiny, everything has nothing to do with the Zhen family and the Zhen family!"

After speaking, Li Li raised his hand to push aside the halberd in front of him, causing the unsuspecting Ju Yi to take three steps back, watching in astonishment as Li Li strode away from the main hall and headed straight for the gate of the mansion.

"What are you still doing in a daze, follow him quickly, and don't let him run away!" Seeing that Li Li was still so arrogant when his death was imminent, Yuan Xi was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.Immediately, he vented his anger on Ju Yi, reprimanded him angrily, then waved his hand, stared at Li Li's receding back, and led Feng Ji and the soldiers outside the door to catch up in a hurry.

When only the Zhen family members were left in the hall, the [-]-year-old old man Zhen who had left earlier slowly came out from the side door, and waved his hand to signal everyone in the hall to retreat.

After a while, there were only Mrs. Zhen and Mr. Zhen in the lobby.I saw Mrs. Zhen helping Mr. Zhen to sit down in the hall, and she was sitting at the lower head of Mr. Zhen, which was where Li Li was sitting before.

"Father, what do you think of Li Wenchang? Compared with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, which one is better?" Mrs. Zhen asked in a soft voice, pouring a cup of hot tea for Mr. Zhen herself.

That's right, this old Zhen is Zhen Yi, the father of Zhen Yi, the deceased husband of the Zhen family. He is also the only remaining elder in the direct line of the Zhen family.

At the beginning, it was he who insisted on handing over the position of Patriarch to Zhang, accepted Zhang as a daughter, and gave the family a surname. Since then, Zhang has changed to Zhen.The Zhen family is both Zhen Yi's daughter-in-law and adopted daughter, and has been in charge of the Zhen family for eight years.If there is no support from Zhen's family, how can she, a widow, take over the huge family business of the Zhen family? Unless all the men in the Zhen family are dead, she will not be able to take over the family anyway.After all, among the prestigious official families in the great Han world, the Zhen family is the only woman who is the head of the family, and that's all.

Zhen Xi smiled kindly and said: "This son and Yuan Shao are more than 30 years old, nearly two generations, there is really no comparison. Hehehe!".

Immediately, he took a sip of tea, and after Mrs. Zhen took the teacup, he continued, "I heard you say that Li Wenchang was smart and wise, but I didn't believe it. I thought you liked him, so the judgment I made was biased. Looking at it now , you are right, this son will become a great weapon in the future, the future is boundless, it is beyond words!

Therefore, if you want to follow him, you will not object as a father.But you must think about it yourself, although he has a bright future, he is not a good destination for women.This son is too deep in the city, his mind is unpredictable, he is powerful, and he is born with a good appearance, which is too attractive to women. Presumably in the future, there will be many wives and concubines and prosperous children.You commit yourself to him, even if you have a title, you are still just a concubine; what's more, you are too old, and when you are old and young, you will inevitably endure loneliness and neglect.You have to think clearly about these, lest it will be too late to regret in the future! "

Zhen's pretty face was flushed, and she whispered shyly: "What my father said, my daughter has thought about it. It's just that the future is so far away, how can it be satisfactory. Maybe my daughter will be neglected by him when she is old, but my daughter No regrets. A person’s life will inevitably have ups and downs, gains and losses. If you are afraid of losing and don’t want to try, you will gain nothing and have no fun in life. My daughter follows him, regardless of status, power and status, just want to find A person I like to rely on to help him achieve great fame and great career. If this is the case, my daughter will have no regrets in this life!"

"Fool, you have no reason to object to this as a father, it's just hurting yourself!" Zhen Yi patted Zhen's arm distressedly, and said with a slight sob.

After a while, after Zhen Yi regained his composure, he said softly: "The males of my Zhen family are not prosperous. Not only are the males from the direct descendants withering, but there are also few promising males from the descendants. It is beyond human power. Because of this, if you support your family as your father, the Zhen family will rely entirely on your mother and daughter in the future. From now on, you will have full power to handle all matters of the Zhen family, so you don’t have to worry too much. Use it when you need it, and give them a little money if you can’t use it, and let them fend for themselves. The family can’t support them forever, so when it’s time to let go, let them go without hesitation.

As an old man, even if he wanted to visit Xiliang, he was powerless.So I don't go anywhere, just stay here, it can be regarded as returning to the roots.Anyway, there are not many days left to be a father, half a year in the long term, or three months in the shortest time, it's time to see the ancestors of the Zhen family. "

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" these words of Zhen Xi made Zhen's tears flow down her cheeks.

Seeing Zhen's heartbroken, Zhen Xi was very relieved besides being sad.

He also has children under his knees, but it is a pity that the children will not live forever, and they all walk in front of him. The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and he has experienced many sad scenes of life and death.I don't want to think that when he was more than seventy years old, he had no children to take care of him, but he had a good daughter-in-law.Zhen's family is not only virtuous and filial, but also extremely intelligent, and her business acumen is even better than that of men.During the eight years when the Zhen family took over the ancestral business, not only did the Zhen family's property not decrease, but the treasury revenue increased by [-]%, thus becoming the largest consortium in Jizhou and even the Central Plains, and becoming the richest in the world.

At first, Zhen Yi also had many concerns about Zhen's taking over as the head of the family. It was not because she was worried about Zhen's business acumen, but because Zhen was still very young after all, and was afraid that after she completely took over the Zhen family's property, she would have other thoughts, that is, worry Zhen remarried.For this reason, he adopted the Zhen family as a righteous daughter, and changed the Zhang family to the Zhen family. In this way, the Zhen family and the Zhen family were firmly tied together, and all were prosperous and the other was damaged.In addition, many important decisions in the family business must be approved by him, otherwise the accountant will get stuck in the money and will not distribute it.

Chapter 448 The First General of the Jizhou Army

After a few years, Zhen Yi was completely relieved of the Zhen family, and then delegated power, and then the Zhen family took over the entire family.

Years are ruthless, and now Zhen Yi is dying, he looks down on many things in the world, and pursues billions of wealth for a lifetime, and now it is useless to him.

The only thing that worries him now is the future fate of Zhen's mother and daughter.In troubled times, having too much money and food is definitely not a good thing, and it is inevitable that people will covet it. If it is not handled properly, hundreds of millions of wealth will bring disaster to the Zhen family.

In the early days, Zhen Yi was more inclined to support Yuan Shao in Jizhou, because the Zhen family and the Yuan family had friendship and were familiar with each other, so they knew each other well.It's just that he knows Yuan Shao very well, and knows that he has lofty aspirations, but he is somewhat ambitious and lacking in talent.In addition, Yuan Shao respected the major gentry families on the surface, but in fact he valued officials over merchants, attached great importance to family families, and was quite harsh on merchant families.

Because of this, Zhen Yi has always been hesitant about whether his family will attach to Yuan Shao, and he has never been able to make up his mind.Just when he felt that his time was approaching and was ready to fully support Yuan Shao, Mrs. Zhen brought Li Li from Xiliang to the Zhen family, and praised Li Li very much.

But Zhen Yi didn't think so, just out of respect, he promised Zhen Shi to observe Li Li first, and then make a decision.

After a period of observation and understanding, Zhen Yi discovered that Xiliang Li Li is really a very good young man.At least in his opinion, Li Li's character is definitely higher than Yuan Shao's, and he will definitely go farther than Yuan Shao in the future.Because Li Li is young, powerful, and occupies a dangerous place in Xiliang, his achievements in troubled times must be higher than Yuan Shao.

However, Zhen Bi did not easily agree to Zhen's request, and still had some hope for the Yuan family. After all, the Zhen and Yuan families are old friends who have cooperated for many years.Until I saw Yuan Xi with my own eyes who had a good reputation in the Yuan family.Zhen Yi gave up completely, and finally made up her mind to support Zhen's choice.

Amidst Zhen's crying, Zhen Xi recalled many things before and felt a lot of emotion.He is really old, and he often recalls the past, relying on the bits and pieces in his memory to continue his life, and relying on the inseparable thoughts in his heart to support him until now.Now that these things can finally be let go, as for the future of the Zhen family, that is beyond his control, and he can only hope that his children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.Otherwise, nothing can be done.

Seeing Zhen's tearful eyes, Zhen Yi was very distressed, and smiled kindly and comforted him: "Don't cry, birth, old age, sickness and death are caused by destiny, and everyone will have this day. What's more, my father can eat and sleep now. His body is not bad, and he won't die for a while. Hehehe!"

In the old father's frank and fearless laughter.Zhen Shi wiped away her tears with a flick of her sleeve.Tears were still welling up in his eyes, but he tried his best not to cry out.

Smiling and looking at the worry in Zhen's eyes, Zhen Yi asked with a smile: "Are you worried about Li Li's safety, afraid that he is weak and unable to deal with Yuan Xi and others?"

"Father Mingjian, my daughter is indeed a little worried about Wenchang's safety." Zhen wiped away tears.She nodded unabashedly, her pretty face blushing slightly.

After a short pause, she continued: "Yuan Xi brought [-] well-trained soldiers with him on this trip, and the leader of the Yuan army was actually Ju Yi, the general of Jizhou. My daughter heard that this man has won a lot of attention. Yuan Shao relied heavily on him. He was the one who rebelled against Han Fu at the beginning, and then conspired with Yuan Shao to force Han Fu to abdicate, and then helped Yuan Shao win Jizhou without bloodshed.

Two years ago, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou led the army to attack Jizhou because his younger brother Gongsun Yue was killed by Yuan Shao. It was this Juyi who led the soldiers to kill Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong in the Jieqiao Battle and helped Yuan Shao win In the battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan was seriously injured, and thousands of Baima Yicong were killed or injured.A brave and skilled fighter like Ju Yi must be very skilled in martial arts, and he also has more than 1000 elite soldiers to help him; Wen Chang fights with him, even if he wins, it is difficult to retreat unscathed.If Yuan Xi ordered the soldiers to swarm up or shoot them with arrows, then Wenchang's life would be in danger! "

"Hmm." Zhen Yi nodded slightly, thoughtfully said: "What you said is not unreasonable. After all, this is not Xiliang after all, but under Yuan Shao's rule, and Yuan Shao's camp is stationed a hundred miles away from Zhongshan Kingdom. Although the old man believes that since Li Li dared to confront Yuan Xi head-on, he must have something to rely on and be confident; but to be on the safe side, we must make preparations in advance to prevent Li Li from encountering any accidents."

Speaking of this, Zhen Yan took a breath, and then said: "Let Zhen Yan take two thousand family members to the county government office, together with a thousand county soldiers to capture four city gates, and not let a single Yuan soldier go. Order Zhen Yan to lead five Hundreds of family dead men are lurking around the school grounds, if Li Li is in danger, immediately rescue him!"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Zhen Yi's breathing became rapid.After he breathed a sigh of relief, he told the Zhen family: "Our Zhen family's attack on Yuan Xi today means that we and the Yuan family have completely torn our faces, and we will be enemies from then on. So you must put the value of the mansion in the house before tomorrow's sunset. Take away all the belongings, arrange for the tribe to evacuate Wuji City quickly, and head to Xiliang separately. Also, you mother and daughter have to pack your bags and leave Zhen's Mansion within three days, and leave Jizhou as soon as possible with Li Li and his party!

Oh, by the way, tell Zhen Hua not to hurt the lives of Yuan Xi, Feng Ji and Ju Yi.After all, our Zhen family and the Yuan family met once, for the sake of the ancestors of the Yuan family, let them live! "

After speaking, the expression on Zhen Yi's face was very gloomy, a little sad, and a little bit emotional.

Seeing that her father Zhen Yi had a different expression, Zhen Shi didn't know what to say, so she nodded slightly, got up and saluted, and walked out of the lobby quickly to arrange the things Zhen Yi ordered.

After Mrs. Zhen left, Zhen Yi looked up at the plaque of the Zhen family hanging high on the wall of the main hall, and said to himself: "It has been 200 years, and I still have to go, but I, Zhen Yi, want to stay here and guard the Zhen family. Ancestral heroic spirit, not going anywhere!

Our Zhen family and the Yuan family are good family friends of three generations. However, Yuan Benchu ​​valued officialdom over business. Although my Zhen family is a descendant of an official, my grandson is incompetent and has been mediocre for a hundred years. I can only rely on business to maintain the family. I am not the same as Yuan Benchu. all the way.Different paths do not conspire with each other, today is the day when my Zhen family and Yuan family will part ways.

Today's decision is made, but the fate of my Zhen family in the future is unknown, good and bad are unpredictable.If the ancestors have spirits, they must bless the incense of my Zhen family to last forever, to reappear the glory of Guangwu, and to glorify the ancestors! "

Looking at the plaque of Zhen's family alone and thinking about it for a long time, Zhen Yi just stood up tremblingly, and slowly left the hall with a red sandalwood cane.When he went out, he turned his head and ordered his confidants to take off the plaque and take it to Dongyuan where he lived.

In Wuji City, Nancheng School Field.

Four hundred soldiers surrounded the school grounds, and one hundred archers guarded the exits around the school grounds to drive out the onlookers. The entire school grounds were extremely tightly guarded.

"General Ju Yi, now that Zheng Feng's master and servant are surrounded by us, and it's hard to fly, why do you still have to fight with him? You can just order the archers to shoot and kill him. Why bother!" Seeing Ju Yi holding a halberd and preparing to enter the arena to duel with Li Li, Yuan Xi glanced at Li Li in the middle of the school field with disdain, then turned his head and said to Ju Yi.

After hearing the words, Ju Yi's expression changed slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes.He turned his head to look at Yuan Xi, and said in a deep voice with no expression on his face: "In the lobby, the last general had already agreed to fight Zheng Feng in public, so does the second son want me to renege on my promise and lose weight? The last general is the leader of the army I have always respected that people do not stand without trust, otherwise I would have no face to lead the army to fight! Besides, it is my husband who turned back on what I said! So there is no need for the second son to persuade, the last general will definitely fight with Zheng Feng, and fulfill his duty! The previous promise. After the battle is over, the last general will not interfere with how the Second Young Master wants to deal with Zheng Feng, it is entirely up to the Young Master to decide."

"Okay, then go ahead and be more careful." Yuan Xi nodded lightly disapprovingly, and then reminded: "In case General Ju Yi loses to Zheng Feng, don't force yourself, retreat immediately, I will order bows and arrows Shoot him with arrows."

"Huh?" Hearing Yuan Xizhi's words, Ju Yi's dark cheeks immediately showed a hint of anger, but he still held back his anger after all, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your concern, my lord. I will do what I can, and I won't Lose!"

After speaking, Ju Yi didn't say any more, and walked towards the center of the school field with his head held high.

Seeing that Ju Yi was so arrogant, Yuan Xi's white cheeks suddenly darkened, and his expression was very displeased.

Then he stared at Ju Yi's back with cold eyes, and said to himself in a deep voice: "Well, you Ju Yi who doesn't know what to do, what, you really regard yourself as a character! The battle of Jieqiao, it was my father who praised you , let you serve as the former vanguard and general of the army, and then let you take a big advantage and monopolize the huge military exploits. No matter how arrogant you are, you are still not a dog under my father's command, at most it is just a vicious dog that can bite people You wait, my son will want you to look good sooner or later, when you beg me on your knees!"
