C891 Leverage?
This could be said to be an enormous secret in the Li Family. Other than the Patriarch, Li Zixiong, almost no one else knew about this matter, not even Li Zixiong's two sons.
The secret passage was a long corridor, both sides were brightly lit, Li Zixiong walked down the stairs step by step, and only after walking far away did he see an ancient looking gate.
There was nothing in front of the door.
Li Zixiong stood at the door and hesitated for a long time before pushing open the door and entering.
On the other hand, the interior of the door was an entirely different world. The enormous subterranean world had been built up to look like a magnificent palace. The walls of the basement were shining with a golden light, illuminating the human eyes.
However, there weren't any exaggerated buildings in the underground space. There were only a few bookshelves placed neatly. There was a faint fragrance coming from them.
"It's a big shot, isn't it? "Come in."
Before Li Zixiong could come back to his senses, an aged voice came out from the basement.
Li Zixiong hurried forward a few steps, turned two corners, and entered a stone room that was not sealed tightly. The air in the stone house was extremely cold, as though Li Zixiong had entered an ice cellar.
Smoke and dust billowed up as the stone door was opened.
Li Zixiong raised his head and saw an ice bed within the empty stone house. An old man with silver hair sat on a bed that was emitting cold air.
But strangely, there was a female laying in front of the old man. The female called out, red from marrying into the family, and her hair was neatly combed. Her face was still in her twenties. However, the woman had no signs of life. She was just a corpse.
Li Zixiong habitually glanced at the girl, and then raised his head, respectfully looking at the old man who sat on the bed.
Then, Li Zixiong took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed as he said, "The thirty-fourth generation of Li Family, unworthy grandson Li Zixiong, greets Ancestor Xuan …"
The old man laughed heartily, with a wave of his hand, he lifted Li Zixiong up into the air.
"Alright, alright. How many times have I said it? There is no need to do this fake gift again and again." The Li Family today is only the two of us, so it's fine if we don't do those vulgar things, and if we don't do them! "
Being supported by the old man's backhand, Li Zixiong no longer knelt and kowtowed, but stood respectfully by the old man's side.
No one in Jiangnan would have thought that other than Li Zixiong, there would actually be another ancestor of the Profound Sky Continent that was still alive in this world. He was like an inner elder of one of the top ten clans in capital and gold.
When the old man saw Li Zixiong, he said with a face full of love: "Big bear ah, you brat, you haven't come to my place since the end of the year.
The old man's words made Li Zixiong blush, and he was even a little embarrassed.
However, as the Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Zixiong still resolutely opened his mouth and said: "I dare not lie to Ancestor. I, I indeed met with some thorny problems, and I think I would like to seek Ancestor's advice …"
The old man was stunned at first, then he laughed: "Kid, you are at least seventy or eighty years old. If you can make things difficult for this brat, I'm afraid that only the capital families can do it?"
"Xuan Ancestor's eyes are sharp as a torch, hitting the nail on the head."
Li Zixiong flattered him nonstop, and then said, "Profound Ancestor knows that my Li Family has already been established in Jiangnan for five generations. had always been living off the breath and Yeh's Disease In Jiangnan of the capital. Right now, some subtle changes have occurred between the ten great Golden Family s of the capital, which have continuously stirred up the situation in Jiangnan.
The elder sneered, "A subtle change?"
"Hehe, Big Xiong, there is no need to be so secretive when talking to this old man. If it really is a subtle change, how can you consult this old man? I think that the situation of the ten great capital Clans ruling together can no longer be maintained anymore! "
"This …" Li Zixiong broke into a cold sweat, he never thought that although this ancestor of his would never leave his house, he was still able to analyse the major events of the world so thoroughly.
"You don't need to feel surprised. This world is bound to be different for a long time, for every long time is bound to be the same. That is a very common thing. This old man has seen a lot at this age, so naturally I won't be surprised. "
Facing such a wise and farsighted old man, Li Zixiong naturally didn't have to hide anything, and directly said: "It is indeed as the Profound Ancestor had expected. Now that Ye Family is surrounded by the three great families of Lin Family, Bai Family, and Liu Family, I'm afraid that it is already struggling in death. I'm just afraid that once my Ye Family fall, then … "
The old man chuckled. "Oh, Big Xiong, so you're afraid of this." But in this old man's opinion, you don't have to worry, the Ye Family is deeply rooted, and furthermore, old man Qian Ye is not an easy person to deal with. Even if they were to face the siege of three great families, they would at most suffer a lot of injuries. If they really wanted to collapse Ye Family, that would be simply a fantasy. Killing one thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred damage, Bai Family s and Liu Family s would not do such a foolish thing. "
"Patriarch Xuan might not know, but if it was half a year ago, this kind of thing might not have happened. But the present was different from the past. I heard, that Liu Family, Bai Family and Lin Family, the three inner sect elders, were all buried in the hands of that third young master from Ye Family. This is a huge matter that would shake the very foundations of our clan. Right now, the three great families look like they will fight to the death with their Ye Family. I'm afraid, I'm afraid … "2
The old man then hissed coldly, "Is this true?"
"Absolutely!" Li Zixiong promised sincerely.
The old man muttered, "No wonder, no wonder …"
However, at this moment, the old man was silent for a moment. Then, a hearty laugh rang out, "But that's fine too, that's fine too. Hahaha, hahaha!"
Li Zixiong did not understand, "Why is Ancestor suddenly laughing!"
The elder said, "This old man is laughing that this is a great opportunity."
"A good chance?" Li Zixiong was confused. "I, I don't understand!"
The old man suddenly moved like the wind, stood up, walked to Li Zixiong's side and said: "Big bear, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Even though my Li Family has been established in Jiangnan for five generations, the foundation of my Li Family isn't in Jiangnan. Back then, I also had a share of the ten great families in capital. It's just that in the end, they were pushed out of the capital by those perverts. "
"Now that our capital has changed greatly, our Ye Family will have to go hand in hand with our Bai Family, Lin Family and Liu Family. To us, this is a golden opportunity that is hard to come by."
Saying that, the old man stared at Li Zixiong with a heavy gaze, and said: "Da Xiong, once Ye Family falls. Then the structure of the capital would naturally change. In order to maintain this balance of capital, the ten great families would definitely choose a new clan to replace the position of Ye Family, becoming the ones who held power over the Golden Family! This is a great chance for our Li Family to rise up once again, and for us to return to the capital once more. "
Li Zixiong originally only wanted to ask how he should respond to this Ancestor's current situation, but he did not expect to receive such an astonishing reply. It could be said that this Xuan Ancestor's temperament and attitude was much greater than his own.
With an expression of being humbly enlightened, Li Zixiong said: "Then according to what ancestor Xuan means, how should I deal with it?"
The elder then asked with an unfathomable expression, "How do we deal with this? It's very simple. Right now, you only need to grasp two words and take advantage of the situation! "
"Borrowing momentum?" Li Zixiong could not help but mull over this word while his heart was in a trance.
