...

It was almost night when I returned to Zhumen.

After a busy day, he was tired and went to bed early.

As a result, in the middle of the night, Qin Yang suddenly appeared in his room, shocking the alert Zhu Minglang.

"Master let you go." Qin Yang was elusive, and his black brocade dressed in the night. If it weren't for some luster in her eyes, Zhu Minglang would have thought that his room would have been haunted.

"What's the matter? Can't you tell me tomorrow?" Zhu Minglang was still very sleepy.

"About the oath of taking charge," Qin Yang added.

Zhu Minglang immediately bounced off the bed and splashed his face with clear water.

...

Zhu Minglang’s building courtyard is quite far from Zhu Tianguan’s bookstore. I chose this small building courtyard to avoid being disturbed by Zhu Tianguan.

This father is so powerful outside that he is not angry, but he is actually a chatterbox. Zhu Minglang sometimes annoys him.

When I walked towards the bookstore, the house was not particularly large, and it was surrounded by peach trees. There were only a spacious wooden bookstore without attics, with many ancient objects placed inside, most of which were castings with a long history.

The night is slightly cool. When you step into the bookstore, you can see that the other side is completely open, and the face is facing the sparkling lake.

Several stone lamps standing in the water shone the gently swaying waves more softly. Looking along the lake, you can even see that there are several wooden boats sleeping under the moon in the distance...

"Are you hungry?" Zhu Tianguan sat at the long table, and the table was filled with wine and food.

Seeing him eating voraciously, he should be busy during the day and didn't have time to have a meal.

"I'm not hungry, eat slowly." Zhu Minglang shook his head.

"It is basically certain that there are ancient ruins there. No matter how I threaten and induce them, those old people will not let go." Zhu Tianguan took a sip of water and wine, and casually wiped his mouth with a piece of silk next to the roll.

"Then I have to dare to go back to Lichuan as soon as possible and take those people I know to run away." Zhu Minglang said helplessly.

Zhu Minglang couldn't watch the people in Lichuan become slaves.

"There are two choices now. First, we will break up with them directly. Whoever fights with us will destroy whoever we will."

"Second... This is the competition they proposed, which is extremely unfavorable to our door, so I feel it is safer to declare war with them directly."

The clan declares war. Such things are rare in the Jiting Emperor Capital, where the power is stable and the structure is clear, but they are still common in other major borders.

It’s nothing more than an irreconcilable contradiction between forces and forces, and they become hostile to each other. Basically, they will take action when they meet the other person.

At the least, they will be defeated by the disabled, and at the worst, they will be killed directly.

"Let's talk about the second method for now. Why is it not good for us?" Zhu Minglang said.

It's too violent to directly execute the first method!

Zhu Tianguan would actually say such words, then he should have the confidence to destroy the power of competition. Even if he cannot, he will force the other party to retreat with the current growth of Zhu's sect.

But in this way, Zhumen will probably make many enemies!

The Zhu Sect itself has only become the leader of the clan forces in recent years, and its foundation has not stood firm.

"The second way, to put it bluntly, is that they deliberately humiliated us. You also know that the real power of our Zhumen Sect is not in the clan itself, but in the forces that are both prosperous and detrimental to us, such as the Yaoshan Sword Sect where your Taigong is..." Zhu Tianguan stood up, faced the open wall of the house, staring at the Water Drop Lake covered in the night.

"I know this, so even if we want to destroy those forces, we will probably have to take action from others." Zhu Minglang said.

"They knew that the focus of our clan was not on cultivating the Divine Ordinary Man and the Dragon Shepherd Master, so they deliberately integrated the competition into this powerful competition. Those cunning things, they didn't want to tread muddy waters, so they pushed them to the young children."

"Competition, in the power competition?" Zhu Minglang said a little surprised.

Competition is a competition between forces.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to use all the power of the entire force to gain greater value for your own power.

It is usually decided by those uncles and masters, especially the battles in the territory, and the direct oath of hostilities often occur.

In fact, it is the power of the Dragon Shepherd Master. The dragon consumes huge resources. No matter how rich a city is, it may not be able to support the expenses of a Dragon Shepherd Master team.

Not to mention the forces that raise dragons, they have to invest huge amounts of money and a lot of manpower in feeding young spirits and collecting young spirits every year.

Rich territory, power will surely be invincible, and forces will often cause great conflicts!

The power competition is purely a contest between young disciples of major forces, focusing on the competition, and it is time to stop.

Because they are not old, have wide connections, and are very limited in strength. Even if there are some conflicts between the two forces in the competition, it will not affect the overall harmony. The disciples will eventually find the elders to make the decision, and the elders will also deal with the harmony in the background of both sides.

Even if Zhu Tong was killed on the battlefield like this, or if Zhu Tianguan killed Hao Shaocong, it would not cause the resentment between Zhu Sect and Zi Zonglin to explode.

"You said, are they bullying too much?"

"It seems that I, Zhu Tianguan, are still too kind to these pedantic, stubborn, and old-fashioned guys."

"In recent days, don't go out casually. I will first ask the people who broke the door to destroy a few small forces that cause trouble for us everywhere, and then pinch the supply of military weapons from several large dynasty troops, and the black armored army raised in Pei State also transferred here..."

Zhu Tianguan was extremely resentful, as if he had gone to the court this time and suffered a great grievance because of the competition.

"Father, calm down first." Zhu Minglang hurriedly persuaded.

"Stay calm down, people are almost riding on our heads. Our Zhu Sect has not cultivated Dragon Shepherd and Divine Ordinary People, but they want us to compete with them for the territory of the Zulong City State in a great power competition. What is the difference between asking us to get out directly? Son, don't say that this land is related to you, even if it is a completely unfamiliar and completely unrelated new land, they use this method to exclude us, and we Zhu Sect can't swallow this breath. Do you really think we are still the last sect of the clan in the past????" Zhu Tianguan said indignantly.

"Father, as they wish, they competed with the result of the power competition. Nan Lingsha and I have participated and entered the second round." Zhu Minglang said.

"How can we compare with the strength of those disciples who have thousands of years of wealth. Our Zhu Sect will suffer a great loss. Why don't we let those Zongsects, clans, and palaces compete with us for forging??" Zhu Tianguan said.

"So Father, do you rather destroy other people's sect than believe that I can stand out in this power competition?" Zhu Minglang said.

"It's not a question of disbelief, it's a fair and unfair thing. We are now the largest clan sect in the new era. There will always be some old clan sects. Old Zonglin dislikes us. If you have to make concessions in some matters, there will be a second and third time... There is no need to go to any force competition with them. I want to see what they are fighting for us. In the land of Zulong City State, our Zhu Sect is about to settle!" Zhu Tianguan said.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

Indeed, in the whole matter, the major forces in the Jiting Continent compete in this way is bullying the Zhu Sect.

"It's better to do this. We can agree to their proposal, but all major forces must invest some resources in the competition. After all, it's a competition for power, not a competition for disciples. Why do you only use those shabby things to embarrass you? If you want to play, play with them!" Zhu Minglang said.

Zhu Tianguan’s eyes lit up.

This is a good idea!

Agree with this approach, but you all increase your bargaining chips and increase the scale to the weight you should have in the competition.

There is basically no need to produce anything on Zhumen. It is nothing more than sharing the ownership rights of Lichuan land so that the forces are qualified to compete with each other!

"I have wanted these good resources long ago, and I was worried that there was no reason for them to transfer them to us." Zhu Tianguan immediately smiled on his face.

"If they want to make things difficult for us, we will peel them apart. My father will put on an attitude of going to war tomorrow, and then let the forces we are in contact with pretend to persuade them, and suggest that everyone increase the bargaining chips..."

Zhu Minglang picked up the wine glass, handed it to Zhu Tianguan, and then said,

"The forces we are in good faith must first make a big bet first. We must at least have the resource level of a city-state, forcing other forces to either withdraw from the competition for fear of too much loss, or take off a layer of skin together. When Nan Lingsha and I won this competition and received all the benefits, we will return the resources of the forces we are in good faith. The resources of other forces are divided into 50% and 50%!" Zhu Minglang picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine for himself and Zhu Tianguan.

After hearing this, Zhu Tianguan's depression just now disappeared, and his face was filled with a smile.

He raised the wine Zhu Minglang poured for himself, clinked the glasses, and said, "To share the spoils with 50%!"

In front of the house, Qin Yangjing in black clothes stood there.

Her eyes swept across the faces of the father and son, and saw that their smiles were incredibly tacit, like two old foxes...

Which force is going to be in great trouble?

In the past, Zhu Sect was only the last of the six major clan sects, and Zhu Tianguan and Zhu Minglang rarely suffered losses under those major forces.

Now that the clan is in full swing, I believe that those forces that are still causing trouble for the Zhu Sect will definitely not have any good endings.
