C468 Who's the Prey(1)
Half an hour after Zhuo Dongsheng's death, there was a piece of news that said, "An abandoned disciple has returned, and the family has lost their beloved general for a thousand years." It was spread in the capital, perhaps among all the major powers in the company.
The huge Huaxia, which had been passed down for five thousand years, had not only given birth to a magnificent poem that belonged solely to the children of Huaxia, but had also given birth to many extraordinary families and big families.
This time, the Zhuo family used Faang Xuan as the catalyst, but in fact, it was a game between Feng Wuya, the senior in charge of all the work, and the Zhang family, the big boss of the military district. Although it was controlled in a very small area, the news still spread like wildfire.
Even so, most of the big bosses did not take it seriously.
Although Feng Wuya was publicly acknowledged as a genius in the circle, it was a pity that he was a genius. Compared to the Zhuo family, who had a strong foundation, so what if he was a genius?
Without a powerful family backing him up, everything would be as insignificant as floating clouds.
Just by relying on the so-called strongest experts of Huaxia that had gathered after the establishment of the empire, they looked very impressive on the surface. However, this was like a building built on a sand dune, no matter how tall it was. As long as they encountered a strong enough pushing force, it would instantly disappear without a trace.
As for the Zhang family, which was related to the military district, although all the major powers were afraid of the old man's identity as Yuan Xun, in terms of seniority, the Zhuo family, which had been passed down for thousands of years, didn't lack the qualification to be an elder.
Therefore, if it wasn't for the interference of the highest authority, the outcome of this seemingly evenly matched war would already be predictable.
However, even if it was the only variable, it seemed like the balance was more inclined towards the Zhuo family. One must know that the reputation of the Dragon Protection Clan wasn't just for show. Until now... The bodyguards of the highest authority were all from the Zhuo family. It was obvious who the highest authority would side with for a role like this, which was equivalent to an ancient Imperial Guard carrying a saber.
The events that had happened had also progressed as everyone had expected. It could not be Feng Wuya, who was extremely intelligent, or the Zhang family, who had formed a system of its own since the founding of the country. There wasn't even a bit of resistance. It ended with one "Gao Sheng" and the other "Ping Yang."
The hasty conclusion of this matter once again showed how powerful the Zhuo family was in the eyes of everyone. It had consolidated the status of the Zhuo family as the number one family in Huaxia.
Although the candidate for the new big shot had yet to be decided, it was imaginable. Even if the person was not personally appointed by the Zhuo family, it would at least be done by someone close to the Zhuo family. Not to mention that Hu Dalazi, who was about to come to the capital to exchange defense with Zhang Mubai, had burned a yellow paper and paid his respects to Zhuo Tianyang, the current patriarch of the Zhuo family, twenty years ago. He couldn't be more determined to be a brother.
He had originally thought that everything would come to an end when things developed to this point. However, no one expected that just half an hour ago... The insignificant Faang Xuan, who had been ignored by everyone in the incident, had actually openly sent a strong signal of provocation to the Zhuo family.
Who was Faang Xuan?
Following Zhuo Dongsheng's death, many of the big shots instinctively focused their attention on this small figure that seemed to have jumped out of a rock.
However, they didn't know that when the detailed information about Faang Xuan was presented in front of the big shots, they suddenly woke up. It turned out that the matter wasn't over yet.
Whether it was the early trip to G Country or the earth-shattering incident that happened not long ago in R Country... No matter which one it was, it shouldn't be something that an ordinary full-time member could do. This Faang Xuan seemed to have long clashed with the Zhuo family, but he was still able to miraculously live until now. This made those big shots who were hiding in the dark watching the show surprised.
Was this young man really as simple as a primer?
Was it really just a random reason for the Zhuo family to use him as an opportunity to launch an attack?
Perhaps, Feng Wuya and Zhang Mubai's comeback would still have to depend on this young man called Faang Xuan in the end.
However, would Faang Xuan really be able to shake the entire mountain by himself?
This was the biggest question in the hearts of all the spectators!
...
In a certain villa group in the outskirts of the capital, Zhuo family.
"Bang!" A purple sandpot belonging to the category of antiques was smashed to the ground. Millions of antiques were instantly shattered.
A tall old man with white hair and a few wrinkles that could not be seen on his face angrily sat on an armchair. His dignified face revealed intense hatred, especially a pair of sparkling eyes. What was projected was a cold light that was even more terrifying than a poisonous snake.
Seemingly that throwing a teapot was not enough to vent his anger, the old man once again slammed his palm heavily on a high-grade pear blossom wood table beside him. Instantly, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the hard surface of the table, "Damn it! Simply damn it, you all... Did you all say that you grew up eating shit?"
In front of the old man stood a man in a suit with big ears. He had a wide forehead and a tall nose. Fangzheng's appearance made him look like someone who belonged solely to the upper class. Unfortunately, at that moment, the man's body was trembling, and his face was dripping with sweat.
"Are you mute? Why aren't you saying anything?" Seeing that the man was only shaking, the old man's eyes became sharper.
"Patriarch, please punish us. It was our negligence."0
The man suppressed his shock and said to the old man in a calm tone. However, it was not an explanation. Facing the angry old man, even though the man was a reputable person outside, he did not dare to raise any excuses.
"Trash, they are all trash!"
The old man cursed at the man again. After a while, his heavy breathing calmed down a little. Then, he pointed at the man's nose and said, "You have three days to find him, but you can't find him. You can never step into the Zhuo family's courtyard again. "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The man nodded his head vigorously. He did not even bother to wipe the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes. He turned around and walked towards the door. Not long after he walked out, he saw an old man in a snow-white Tang suit walk in. The man immediately stopped in his tracks. He respectfully called out to the man, "Hello, Fifth Uncle!"
The old man in the Tang suit simply nodded at the man casually. Then, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to the old man. "Patriarch, we found this at the place where the East Ascension is in trouble."
"Sheng'er..."
The old man closed his eyes. Pain flashed across his face. About ten seconds passed. When the old man opened his eyes again, his face had already regained its calm. He looked at the old man in the Tang suit, but did not reach out to take the note. He just asked lightly, "Was it left by that beast?"
"Yes, there is only one name on it"
"Who?"
"Ting'en." said the man.
"Yes, my son?"
All of a sudden, the old man stood up from his seat, and a violent aura was emitted from his body. The entire space was filled with an uneasy atmosphere. "This hateful beast, what do you mean by leaving this piece of paper behind? Could it be that he wants to tell me that his next target is Ting'en? "
The patriarch of Zhuo family, Zhuo Tianyang, had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Zhuo Dashan, and the second son, Zhuo Dongsheng, were in business. The youngest son, Zhuo Ting'en, and the only daughter, Zhuo Yanting, had both entered the political world.
Although their children were not good at martial arts, they had developed quite well in the secular world. This also comforted Zhuo Tianyang, but he didn't expect that... In a short year, the eldest and second eldest of the merchants had died at the hands of Emperor Qing and Faang Xuan. The eldest son had died, even though he was the patriarch of a huge family. Zhuo Tianyang felt his heart ache.
