Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

First, the Southern Five Counties were adjacent to the Xie Luo Mountains. In a world like Douluo Continent where soul beasts and soul masters were respected, more mountains meant more soul beasts, which could be described as living off the mountain.

Relying on their unique geographical location, the residents of the Southern Five Counties can more easily hunt soul beasts, obtain soul rings, and train soul masters, thus promoting the prosperity of local soul master culture and driving economic development.

Another reason is that the Xingluo Empire is opposite the Southern Five Counties.

Between the two, the Shero Pass, as a major transportation route connecting the two empires, is not only a strategic military location, but also a hub for commercial exchanges.

There was an endless stream of merchants and travelers coming and going from the south and the north, making the business in the southern five counties extremely prosperous.

Chang'an County, in particular, as the core area of ​​the Southern Five Counties, has a population of nearly 1000 million, and its county seat, Chang'an City, has a population of nearly 300 million. Its prosperity can be seen from this, and it is known as one of the top ten cities on the mainland.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense for the Chen family to choose the five southern counties as their base.

After three years of hard work, the Chen family's contribution to the prosperity and development of the five southern counties is obvious to all and praised by everyone.

What is most commendable is that the Chen family did not fight to the death for their own selfish interests. Instead, they opened their minds and joined hands with all parties to seek common development.

The actions of the Chen family really did not touch the pie of those aristocratic families. Instead, they led them to develop together, make money together, and fly together.

Apart from building a few markets and repairing a few roads, the Chen family basically only showed up in Chang'an College at other times, devoting themselves to cultivating talents, and had no direct connection with those aristocratic families and other folk forces.

Just like this, the power and influence of the Chen family in the five southern counties has been rising rapidly in the past few years, and its reputation is at its peak, and everyone knows it.

Therefore, Chen Xiaojun is sure that the Yan family will definitely not choose to set up a base in the five southern counties under the nose of the Chen family. After all, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

…………

Chen Xiaojun looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "In addition to the disadvantages mentioned before, this time we have a crucial loophole!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong and Chen Menglin looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Chen Cong asked, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Chen Xiaojun frowned and said slowly: "That is because our means of communication are extremely primitive. We either rely on flying little soul beasts to send messages, or send flying soul masters to deliver them personally."

"Just like now, our Duke's Mansion is 400 miles away from Chenlin Village. By the time they notify us, the opportunity will be gone."

Chen Menglin asked in confusion: "Isn't everyone like this?"

Chen Xiaojun paused and replied, "If there was a way to communicate over long distances in real time, Grandpa would have known immediately that Second Uncle was attacked, and Grandpa would not have been attacked on the road."

"And it would be even better if you could explain the situation in detail."

"From now on, if the Scarlet Church comes to deal with us, it will have to spend more manpower and expose more flaws."

"And for us to deal with them, it means a faster mobilization speed, using the majority to bully the minority, and we will do that."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If there was one thing that made him most uncomfortable between the two worlds of Douluo Continent and Blue Star, it was that there were no mobile phones here.

In Douluo Dalu 1, when the Golden Triangle was defeated by Poison Douluo, Liu Erlong took out a metal ball to threaten Dugu Bo, which could be considered a special communication tool.

After listening to Chen Xiaojun's words, Chen Cong nodded and said, "The soul master world does have soul guides for long-distance communication, but these are left over from ancient times and are extremely rare."

"Just like the Yinghua Mirror in our Douhun City," Chen Cong continued, "there is only one set in the entire continent."

"Unfortunately, the Chen family only has one Yinghuazi mirror, which cannot achieve long-distance communication."

Chen Xiaojun heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said: "I know this, but Second Uncle, don't forget the Mingguangjing Xue family."

Chen Cong was stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he asked: "The Xue family? Their Mingguangjing martial spirit does have a unique means of communication, but that can only be used by their soul masters themselves."

"What new ideas have you come up with?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery and confidence in his smile, and said, "I do have some ideas and thoughts, but I don't know if they will work."

He paused, and continued, "And our Shen Ji Bai Lian has not been idle in these years, and has made a lot of progress."

"Maybe, we can use the Xue family's Mingguangjing martial spirit to come up with a new way of long-distance communication."

When Chen Menglin heard this, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he was obviously excited by this idea.

He said quickly: "If it succeeds, it will be a major breakthrough for our multi-location defense and the connection between various markets!"

"As for the benefits, they are self-evident. Even the connections between branches and veins can become closer because of this."

As the person in charge of liaisons in the family, Chen Menglin got it immediately.

Chen Xiaojun curled his lips, seeming a little helpless about Chen Menglin's excessive excitement. He said, "Third Uncle, the fate hasn't even started yet, and you're already thinking about things outside the Southern Five Counties."

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

"You're talking about ultra-long-distance communication. It would be great if we can handle the five southern counties."

Chen Menglin didn't believe it, and said, "I don't believe you. You always dig a hole, and there is a big hole underneath waiting for people to jump in."

Chen Xiaojun smiled bitterly. Why does no one believe me when I'm telling the truth?

Chen Cong also laughed and said, "Okay, go talk to Xue Tianyu, and we'll wait and see."

"If you can really figure out this long-distance communication, you will be a great contributor to our Chen family."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun nodded and began to have some ideas about Xue Tianyu in his mind.

Xue Tianyu, the person in charge of the Mingguangjing Xue family in Chang'an City, is also Xue Tianming's cousin and a powerful Soul Douluo.

His reputation is very high in Chang'an City, not only because he was born into the Xue family, but also because of his personal ability and courage.

The Xue family of Mingguangjing, like the Ning family, is also good at manipulating others.

Chen Cong also saw what Chen Xiaojun was thinking and said with a smile: "Xiaojun, since you have an idea, just go ahead and give it a try."

"I know Xue Tianyu a little bit. He is not the kind of person who is stubborn. As long as your proposal is convincing enough, I believe he will be willing to cooperate."

Chen Xiaojun nodded.

All the families in Douhun City have noticed the development of the Chen family, and they naturally will not miss the opportunity to follow suit.

It is well known that the Ma family sent Ma Zhibin, who has been following the Chen family to gain benefits.

Other families also sent people here one after another. In fact, many families already had offices in Chang'an City, and now they have upgraded their standards.

It’s not Contra, I’m sorry.

Just like the one who came from the Yang family was Yang Zhijia, and the one who came from the Long family was Long Wenkai, who had participated in the Chen family's battle to exterminate wolves and had a close relationship with the Chen family.

If these people get together, they can reorganize a Douhun City Elders Council.
