In the meeting hall, Lin Yuantian sat on the main seat, followed by Lin Yuanjun, Lin Yuanqiao, and other important figures in each room.
The younger generation moved chairs to listen in behind.
Of course, those who have a place in this chamber are outstanding figures who have already emerged.
The Linmo seat is located next to Lin Yuantian, half a step higher than Lin Yuanjun, Lin Yuanqiao, etc.
Unlike the relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table, everyone in the meeting hall looked solemn.
His eyes fell on Lin Yuantian, drifting in the direction of Lin Mo from time to time.
They are all waiting to start the topic.
Lin held the teacup at the end and sipped it gently, without getting any more upset.
He naturally knows about Lin's situation.
Before going to the Lingtai sect, he had arranged for a special person to investigate and take care of him.
Of course, with this kind of care, the information known is only limited to the surface. After all, it is not surveillance.
For example, he knew that the Cheng family and the Lin family were estranged and estranged, but he didn't know the specific reason. He knew that Zhou Baishan and others intervened on the outside, but the purpose was also unknown.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo put down the tea cup and turned slightly sideways to look at Lin Yuantian.
"After the Yulu Tower incident, we have completely broken with the Cheng family. Today we will discuss how to deal with the Feiyang City Yamen and where to go after the Chengmu Chamber of Commerce."
Lin Yuantian, who was sitting in the seat, nodded, glanced at the people in the meeting hall, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry about Lan Yu and Zhou Baishan, I've already taken care of it."
In the previous sneak attack, Lin Mo didn't hold anything back. With the infusion of Tathagata's energy, a large amount of poison mixed in, and the suction of flesh and blood chains, the two of them were either dead or disabled.
According to his estimation, without the rare tonic, he would have to lie down for at least a year and a half.
The other party is also a smart person, and he probably won't do anything stupid. Of course, if he is really still awake, the tracking drugs he left in advance will definitely make the two of them truly regret it.
After the words fell, everyone fell silent.
Even Lin Yuantian and others, who had some expectations, couldn't help but feel a little dazed after hearing the definite answer.
What does "don't worry" mean?
The tension was so high that the three armies of Feiyang City, the Turtle, Tiger and Crane, were almost severely damaged, but in the end, they were dealt with directly?
Is this Zhou Shengjun, whose blood debt must be repaid with blood and whose majesty of the imperial court cannot be disrespected?
Everyone couldn't help but think of the battle of Lin Yucheng back then.
The clan members all heard that they had won the battle, and three captains were killed in one battle.
But in fact, everyone knows that in real terms, they lost, and they lost completely. Not only did the remaining members of the third generation of the Lin family squander everything, but the overwhelming sea of documents also forced the entire Lin family to hide in
Deep in the mountains, struggling to survive.
Now we are facing a flag-bearer who is a higher level than the capital commander, and he has committed an even bigger crime than before, but now he just downplays it and goes out to solve it?
Thinking of this, not only the younger generation of clan members, but also Lin Yuanjun and others of the Yuan generation who were seated looked at Lin Mo more and more frequently.
I feel a bit restless, awestruck and awestruck.
In fact, from what Lin Junyang said, they had known for a long time that Lin Mo was doing well in Huaiping, and even the famous Qinglong Society took great care of the Lin family.
It's just that this is good, but it's very vague, without a clear degree.
Now they seem to understand why the Qinglong Society treats Lin so differently.
"What do you think about Cheng?"
Lin Yuantian's expression remained normal, and he could see that the atmosphere had become a little awkward. He looked at Lin Mo and asked again.
"What do you think? Uncle, you might as well briefly explain what is going on in the Cheng family." Lin Mo replied.
"It is true to provide help in times of need, and it is true to give benefits in return." Lin Yuantian glanced at Lin Yuanqiao, who was silent at the side, and said in a low voice.
Lin Mo frowned slightly, and he understood why Lin Yuantian asked such a question.
On the one hand, the Cheng family was indeed kind to the Lin family and helped out in times of crisis. On the other hand, although the root cause of the Jade Dew incident was not theirs, it was indeed their instigation that led to the subsequent series of events.
If it weren't for his strength being far superior to Lan Yu, Zhou Baishan and the two expected that Lin would definitely fall into a big mess.
"If there is kindness, repay kindness; if there is hatred, take revenge. The two are clearly defined."
Lin Mo glanced at Lin Yuanqiao who was silent and said,
"Of course, it would be better if the person on the other side is not understanding, so as to avoid trouble." After speaking, he narrowed his eyes habitually, and his voice became a little colder.
He never hesitates to be cruel to those who cannot see his position clearly.
Mentioning the Cheng family, Lin Yuangao thought about the situation that day, and his face became very ugly. He didn't care about Lin Yuanqiao's mood, picked up the tea cup on the table, and took a sip:
"Jun Mo, if you really have to deal with this matter, you still have to be more cautious. Such a big family is like a cunning rabbit. If it doesn't die, it will suffer."
"Don't worry. In the past few days, all uncles have been sorting out their own affairs and preparing to go home for the New Year. I will handle this matter." Lin Mo smiled and said
"I want to see if this cunning rabbit can really escape my grasp."
Speaking of this, everyone stopped talking.
Even the famous Feiyang Flagbearer can be convinced. Compared with the former, the Cheng family is naturally no problem.
Then, everyone began to discuss the year-end summary for a while, reporting on each other's situations and problems.
In the end, we had no choice but to come to a conclusion.
No matter which trade route it is, it is not easy to travel these days.
There are more and more wild beasts and ferocious birds, as well as strong men and thieves who turn into bandits, causing more or less damage every time you do business.
Among them, the inevitable expenses of pension, coupled with the increasingly higher purchase prices of goods, make the profits thinner and thinner.
Lin Mo naturally understood this situation.
Not to mention the small Lin's Trading Company, even the Qinglong Society is also like this.
The final conclusion is that we cannot simply do channel business. If possible, it is best to extend our tentacles to the entire supply chain as much as possible.
Therefore, the Qinglong Society began to secretly build strongholds and bases in major mountains and forests. On the one hand, it cultivated spiritual fields and collected hard currency such as medicinal materials. On the other hand, it began to cultivate fresh blood and replenish reserve forces.
Implement a strategy similar to Guangjiliang.
But it doesn't apply to Lin.
The reason is very simple, it is too weak.
If we don't engage in business, we can naturally maintain our survival by relying on today's Dayan Mountain. However, it would be too difficult to develop further.
We talked until late at night and the meeting ended.
Lin Mo and Lin Yuantian went to the backyard together, turned a few corners, and arrived at a secluded and quiet yard.
There is a bright full moon hanging on the branches in the sky, and the snow has not fallen.
But it was even colder than when it snowed, and jackdaws croaked out of nowhere.
"Actually, the real situation is worse than what we just talked about."
The two of them were walking together. Lin Yuantian, whose temples were gray and whose sharp edges were no longer as sharp as before, had a wry smile on his face and said softly.
Lin Mo said nothing and was silent, listening to Lin Yuantian's words quietly.
"It's not just man-made disasters, there are also natural disasters. To the north of Huaizhou, close to Hanzhou, there has been heavy snow since last year. Snow accumulation has caused disasters, and there are many casualties. I even heard that there is a snow monster over there. Even though
Even the Grandmaster cannot defeat him."
Lin Yuantian said to himself:
"As for business, what is really scary is no longer strong men. After all, as long as they are people and can communicate, they are more or less dangerous. What is scary is the mountain beasts. The south is not bad, but the north is mountainous and has many mountains.
Beast, I have been following the Qinglong Society to open up trade routes during this period. The situation is very bad and many villages have been abandoned."
"Not to mention the changes in Taizhou."
Speaking of this, Lin Yuantian sighed softly, even bending his back a little.
No longer as sharp as before.
"The ebb and flow of the sun are approaching. Isn't this already expected? In fact, the drastic changes in the world are also caused by all kinds of frosts competing for freedom. There are pros and cons." Lin Mo knew no less information than Lin Yuantian, and he
Not moved.
"All kinds of frosts compete for freedom? This is a good sentence." Lin Yuantian nodded, "It's just undeniable that for most ordinary people, this freedom cannot be fought for even if they die."
He raised his hand, and a fallen leaf fell into his hand.
Lin Mo said nothing this time.
Even though Taizu passed down martial arts to the world, the martial arts class still exists today.
Ordinary people don't have all the skills and have no professional guidance. Even if the world changes, what can they do?
This is something that cannot be helped and is determined by the nature of human society.
This world needs warriors, but not everyone is a warrior.
"What are you going to do?" After hesitating for a while, Lin Yuantian's eyes showed rare confusion.
"If you are rich, you can help the world; if you are poor, you can be alone. My only wish is to protect the people around me and my own family."
Lin Mo was silent for a moment and whispered. He actually knew that this was the answer that Lin Yuantian was thinking.
"." Lin Yuantian.
The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while.
Lin Mo looked up at the full moon that had been obscured by dark clouds at some unknown time.
Dim, dull, struggling, but to no avail.
If he is strong enough, he doesn't mind taking action to change the world into what he likes.
It’s just too difficult to resist the general trend of this era and truly buck the trend.
Whether it is the endless emergence of terrifying mountain beasts or the menacing Taoist ancestor of Qianyu Realm, they are like mountains, constantly leaning towards Chixian Jiuzhou and this land.
On the earth, there are people who are greedy for life but afraid of death, looking for opportunities to live, assessing the situation, and retreating in vain; there are also people who sacrifice their lives for justice, go straight to tell each other, and face difficulties, hoping to survive in death.
It truly shows a public ecology.
But more people are confused, just like Xu Chengyuan back then, and Lin Yuantian now.
My heart will feel sad and uncomfortable, but there is nothing I can do.
This feeling of asking the world, asking others, and asking himself, but without any results, made Lin Mo feel depressed in his heart that could not be released.
Return to the courtyard.
After parting ways with Lin Yuantian, Lin Mo sent people to thoroughly investigate the details of the Cheng family in Feiyang City.
By the way, I asked the Lin clan members about the real cause of the incident.
It is indeed a disaster caused by interests.
To be precise, it is the adverse consequences caused by the imbalance of strength.
With Lin Mo's identity unknown, no matter from the perspective of outsiders, internal members of the Cheng family, or even Lin Yuanqiao's good brother Cheng Tianxiong, it was the Lin family who relied on the Cheng family to make a living.
In this case, he will be happy that the Lin family is getting stronger and stronger with the help of the Cheng family, but he cannot see that the Lin family's development momentum has even surpassed that of his eldest brother, the Cheng family.
It's just human nature.
Coupled with the huge interests and the persuasion of his tribe, it is normal for Cheng Tianxiong to subconsciously forget about brotherhood.
And the Cheng family is indeed not weak.
In addition to Cheng Tianxiong, there are two other masters.
With three masters in one discipline and many years of hard work in Feiyang City, the power is pretty good.
Even if we look at the entire Jinsha County, it still has some reputation.
This was also the reason why he dared to take over the Lin family at that time.
To be honest, it's neither good nor bad, but it's normal. How can there be truly clear-cut good guys and bad guys in the world?
Lin Mo thought for a while, and finally looked at Lin Yuanqiao's face and wrote a handwritten letter.
Yan said that the cooperation between the two families was over, the Chengmu Chamber of Commerce was officially dissolved, and he did not want to see people of Cheng Tianxiong's lineage in Feiyang City again.
Then he threw the handwritten letter to Yan Zhen and stopped thinking about this matter.
To be honest, from Lin Mo's point of view, it would be a waste of time to do it himself if he didn't even have the power of the Grand Master.
He turned around and began to continue practicing the Ten Thousand Poison Golden Body, and also studied its combination with poisonous energy to apply poison.
The second day.
Something unexpected happened to Lin Mo.
The ancestor of the Cheng family, who seemed to be Cheng Tianxiong's grandfather, read the handwriting and tore it into pieces at that time. He didn't say anything except that he was too old to be born, so that Zhuzi could show off his power.
The truth is in the Cheng family, and under the bright sky, you will not be afraid even if you go to the world.
"Has that old immortal from the Cheng family broken through to become a Grandmaster?" Lin Mo frowned and looked at the expressionless Yan Zhen in front of him.
"Otherwise, how dare you be so arrogant?"
He was very confused.
Even Zhou Baishan and Lan Yu, with Da Zhou backing them up, accepted their defeat. What happened to Mr. Cheng?
Is it possible that you really have confidence?
"That's not true. According to my perception, it's still the second pass of the Grandmaster." Xu Gui shook his head, "I think it might be because the Feiyang City Yamen deliberately blocked the news about Yulu Tower that day, and also because Cheng Tianxiong and others haven't woken up yet."
"Of course, I don't rule out that the other party is really brave."
Speaking of this, Yan Zhen laughed.
"Spine? I think that's stupid!
Even if Zhou Baishan and others blocked the news, can’t they figure out why I, Lin Mo, almost knocked down one floor of the Jade Dew Building, and why I still pretend not to know about Zhou Shengjun Yamen?”
Lin Mo really didn't know what to say.
"It doesn't matter, sometimes you have to drink wine as a penalty instead of toasting. Sure enough, only pain can make people remember deeply."
"Your Majesty," Yan Zhen's smile faded.
"You go to Xu Gui, come to his door, and tell him whether that old man of the Cheng family is really stupid or really has some backbone, and tell him what is the real truth and what is the real bright future!
Let’s settle the matter by tomorrow at the latest.”
"If the other party doesn't listen, is it possible to kill them all?" Yan Zhen naturally knew something about the Lin family, so he was a little worried.
"If you really have a hard bone and hard words to persuade, then my uncle Yuanqiao must have nothing to say."
Lin Mo calmed down and continued to read the medicine books, speaking without raising his head.
Yan Zhen's heart trembled, he understood the meaning, and retreated in a flash.
Lin Mo moved his hand and the door closed automatically.
In his opinion, everyone's life is worthy of respect, but fools are an exception.
