The Zhou family has not investigated who is trying to deal with them? The various industries under their control have been severely hindered and are in danger of collapse at any time.
Zhou Tiancheng, the head of the Zhou family, was so worried that his hair grew gray because of this incident. Now the entire Zhou family is blocked by mysterious enemies outside, and is divided inside because of the catastrophe the family has suffered.
"Master!" The thin middle-aged man appeared in Zhou Tiancheng's room again.
Zhou Tiancheng glanced at the other party indifferently, "Have you found anything?"
"Master, or not?" The middle-aged man shook his head, a trace of shame flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, who is it? Who wants to destroy my Zhou family?"
Zhou Tiancheng looked up to the sky and sighed, his eyes flashing with anger and frustration. The Zhou family was about to perish, but he didn't even know who his opponent was. Is there anything more depressing than this?
"Master, why don't we ask for help?" the middle-aged man suggested helplessly.
"To whom?" Zhou Tiancheng seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
The middle-aged man pondered and said, "The largest families in our southeastern province are Shangguan, Dongfang, and Nangong. Among them, Shangguan family is the strongest, Dongfang and Nangong are slightly weaker. Shangguan, Dongfang is too far away from Hanyang, and we usually have little contact with them.
But the Nangong family has a pretty good relationship, so we can ask the Nangong family for help this time!"
"Okay, let's ask the Nangong family for help! You go and prepare, we will set off immediately!" Zhou Tiancheng settled the matter. The enemy is too powerful, and asking for help from the Nangong family is the Zhou family's only hope.
The Nangong family's headquarters is in Zeyang City, which is adjacent to Hanyang City. In terms of political status and city size, Zeyang City is much stronger than Hanyang City.
Departing in the morning, Zhou Tiancheng arrived at Zeyang City near noon. After being notified, Zhou Tiancheng was invited to Nangong's house.
The environment of the Nangong family is quite ancient, with ruined watchtowers everywhere. After passing through the corridors, Zhou Tiancheng was invited into an antique reception room. The servants retreated, and there were only two masters and servants in the empty reception room.
!
Time passed slowly, and no one from the Nangong family showed up yet, and Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help but have a look of anxiety on his face.
Finally, in the past half an hour, a middle-aged man in a black robe slowly entered the reception room, "Hello, Master Zhou, I am Nangong Mu, the peripheral steward of the Nangong family, and I have been ordered to receive Master Zhou!"
"Peripheral manager?"
Zhou Tiancheng's heart felt heavy, and a sense of humiliation flashed in his eyes. After waiting for half an hour, a peripheral steward arrived. If it wasn't for the Zhou family, he would have left on the spot.
The eyes of the middle-aged man standing nearby also flashed with anger. The person who received the head of the family was actually just a peripheral steward of the Nangong family.
Although the head of the family, Zhou Tiancheng, is only the head of a third-rate family, and he deserves to be received by the young master of the Nangong family, he actually sent him a peripheral steward and sent him away. Isn't this a deliberate insult to others' face?
"Hello, Manager Nangong!" After all, he had something to ask for, so Zhou Tiancheng suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Haha, Master Zhou is so polite. Both the master and the young master are quite busy, so I asked you to come down to receive Master Zhou. I hope Master Zhou doesn't mind!" Nangong Mu said with a smile.
Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Tiancheng felt a little better, so he said, "Steward Nangong, can you please tell me that I will discuss important matters with the head of your family!"
Nangong Mu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Master Zhou. The master has told us that if there is an urgent matter, no one can disturb it!"
Zhou Tiancheng frowned, "What about the young master?"
Nangong Mu continued to shake his head, "I'm sorry, Master Zhou, the young master is still very busy and has no time!"
"Hmph! What do you mean? How dare a little steward dare to make things difficult for our family master!" The middle-aged man finally couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
But what is surprising is that the steward of the Nangong family did not get angry, but sighed and said, "Master Zhou, in fact, the family master knows your purpose of coming, but he can't see you!"
Zhou Tiancheng is the head of the family, and of course he is not bad at intelligence. He immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, "Does the Nangong family leader have any scruples? Or is it something that is hard to explain?"
Nangong Mu nodded.
"Steward Nangong, please give me some advice. Who is it that is dealing with my Zhou family this time? That even the Nangong family is so scrupulous?" Zhou Tiancheng said coldly. During this period, all walks of life of his Zhou family have suffered.
This fatal blow made him hate the mysterious force even more, and he even wanted to fight to the death.
"The Zhou family's main thing to deal with is the Xingyi Sect!" Nangong Mu obviously saw Zhou Tiancheng's plan, and there was a hint of disdain in his words.
"Xingyi Sect? The three major ancient martial arts sects in China?" Zhou Tiancheng almost fainted when he heard this. When did the Zhou family offend the Xingyi Sect?
"No wonder! No wonder? Hahaha, it turns out that the Xingyi Sect wants to deal with us?" Zhou Tiancheng smiled gaffefully. He no longer had the fighting spirit in his heart, and his face became extremely pale. You must know that the strength of the Xingyi Sect is even that of the Huaxia Kingdom.
No top family dared to offend, and the people in the Xingyi Sect had unparalleled strength in official circles, shopping malls, and the underworld. Dealing with a third-rate family like the Zhou family was no joke.
Seeing this, Nangong Mu felt a little unbearable, so he said, "Master Zhou, the Xingyi Sect's plan to deal with you this time is actually related to Young Master Ling. I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave now!"
"Tianxiang? Did Tianxiang offend the Xingyi Sect?" Then Zhou Tiancheng shook his head again, "Impossible. With his son's character, how could he possibly offend the Xingyi Sect? But the Nangong family has no reason to lie to him!"
"Hei\rmu, please inform the young master to come back immediately, and we will return to Hanyang!" Zhou Tiancheng made a decision immediately.\r
Nangong Mu left the reception room and came to a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was quietly and elegantly decorated. An old man and a young man were playing chess on a stone table. Nangong Mu walked in and stood quietly behind the old man without saying a word.
"General, Yin'er, you lose!"
"Father, the child lost again!" The person called Yin'er was a handsome young man in white.
"Amu, can the Zhou family leave?" The old man laughed and said as if talking to himself.
"Go home, Master, I have followed the instructions of the Master and they have left!" Nangong Mu replied respectfully.
"Okay, if they come to us, we can only do this. The survival of the Zhou family still depends on themselves! Who made them offend the young master of the Xingyi Sect?" The head of the Nangong family shook his head helplessly.
"Father, is the Xingyi Sect really that powerful?" Nangong Yin was slightly unconvinced.
"Yin'er, you are still young and don't know many things! Take our Nangong family for example. It is a first-class family in Southeast Province, but if the Xingyi Sect wants to deal with us, then our situation will be better than that of the Zhou family.
Where to go?"
"No way, father, we are...!" Nangong Yin's face was full of disbelief.
