The next day, Chen Qi packed his luggage and was about to leave when Suzaku hurriedly came from outside.
I saw a stack of documents in her hand, as if something urgent had happened.
"Lord Dragon, I have found some information about the Zhuge family here. Before setting off to [Longzhong], I think you need to know more about it."
"tell me the story."
Suzaku looked at the information in his hand, organized his language, and then said.
"Although this Zhuge family is a hidden family and is deeply hidden, we still found out some things through the intelligence network."
"The Zhuge family is known as the descendant of Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period."
"They have been passed down to this day for more than a thousand years."
Chen Qi lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and signaled Suzaku to continue.
"The Zhuge family not only refers to the Zhuge family, but also includes five collateral vassals: the Guan family, the Zhang family, the Zhao family, the Ma family, and the Huang family."
"Guan Zhang Zhao Ma Huang?"
Chen Qi looked slightly stunned.
Suzaku nodded, "As you thought, Lord Dragon, the Zhuge family is the descendant of Zhuge Kongming, and the five great families of Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, and Huang are the descendants of the five fierce generals of the Shu Kingdom."
"It is rumored that they have inherited the martial arts from their ancestors. They are all good at martial arts and are brave enough to fight. They have produced many martial arts heroes."
"Now they have formed a huge family system headed by the Zhuge family. Not only are they rich enough to rival the country, it is said that they have also formed a private army, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated!"
"interesting."
Chen Qi nodded slightly, "No wonder the Zhuge family has such confidence. Even though they know my true identity, they still dare to boss me around."
Yesterday, when I met Zhuge Yuanqing, the envoy of the Zhuge family, it happened to be the time when Chen Qi returned from being awarded the title of Governor of the Nine Sects.
Zhuge Yuanqing obviously knew the details of Chen Qi, but he still acted condescendingly.
Presumably, he only dared to be so arrogant because he had the support of the Zhuge family.
Suzaku looked grave, "Dragon Lord, during this trip to [Longzhong], we may encounter unprecedented dangers. I think we should..."
Chen Qi waved his hand, "I know what you want to say, but I have already informed the Zhuge family that I am going to [Longzhong]. If we shrink from the battle, wouldn't it be a joke to outsiders?"
"What's more, since they have set their sights on us, they won't give up so easily."
"Instead of facing some conspiracies in the future, it is better to fight them with real swords and guns!"
Chen Qi's trip to [Longzhong] was actually not just at Murong Qingxue's request.
The Zhuge family has huge power. Judging from the current situation, it may only be a matter of time before they want to disturb the Chen royal family.
Chen Qi is not a person who likes to sit back and wait for death. Since the other party has shown obvious hostility, it is better to take the initiative and nip some unnecessary troubles in the bud.
Chen Qi pondered for a moment, "However, you are right, be careful when sailing a thousand-year ship. We should indeed make some preparations in advance before going..."
Before this, Chen Qi did not know the specific size of the Zhuge family.
After listening to Suzaku's description just now, I also felt the danger of this trip to [Longzhong].
A huge family that has been passed down for thousands of years, its family heritage cannot be underestimated!
In this regard, Chen Qi had to take some precautions in advance.
After a while, Murong Qingxue walked in, and happened to see Suzaku leaving in a hurry with a solemn expression.
She couldn't help but be a little confused, "Brother Chen Qi, what happened?"
Chen Qi smiled warmly, "It's nothing, you can take care of it over there."
Murong Qingxue nodded, "It's packed and ready to go at any time!"
Not long after, a black jeep quietly drove out of Shangjing and headed towards [Longzhong].
In fact, Chen Qi was not familiar with the place [Longzhong], but he was not unfamiliar either.
Because [Longzhong] is located in the [Ancient Shu] generation, it happens to be not far from Chen Qi's hometown [Rongcheng].
More than ten years ago, when Chen Qishang was an ordinary person, he went to Longzhong several times because of business relationships.
In his impression, [Longzhong] is not a highly modern city, it can only be regarded as a county town at best.
It is said that there are many well-preserved scenic spots and historic sites here, and the local government has protected them without extensive development.
Therefore, it has become a good place for sightseeing.
However, ordinary people would never know that there are behemoths like the Zhuge family hidden under this seemingly ordinary surface.
In fact, in China, apart from the Zhuge family, there are also many unknown and huge family forces.
These are collectively called the hidden family.
The so-called seclusion is to hide quietly in the world.
The Three Sovereigns, the Five Kings, and the Twelve Hours are all visible on the surface and can be seen and touched by everyone.
The hidden family is an existence unknown to ordinary people, but once they enter the world, they will definitely cause a shocking turmoil.
[Shangjing] is quite far from [Longzhong], and it will take two days just to drive.
However, due to the urgency of the trip, Suzaku drove all the way and reached the destination in only a day and a half.
When they arrived at the agreed place, the person responsible for receiving Chen Qi and the others was an acquaintance.
It was the last time when Chen Qi came to [Longzhong] to pick up Murong Qingxue, Zhuge Linglong intercepted Chen Qi on the way.
Just like last time, today's Zhuge Linglong is still dressed in white, with her hair in a bun like a waterfall, and a three-foot long sword at her waist. She is graceful and graceful, just like a female knight from a martial arts TV series.
If you walk in a big city wearing this kind of attire, you will definitely look out of place.
But in the [Longzhong] area, this kind of dress is commonplace.
Perhaps he suffered a loss at the hands of Chen Qi last time, and Zhuge Linglong's attitude was not as arrogant as imagined.
She bowed very politely and said, "Mr. Chen Qi, you have been working hard on the journey, and we have prepared a banquet to welcome you. Please come with me."
Chen Qi nodded slightly and said, "Lead the way."
Under the guidance of Zhuge Linglong, after walking through several streets, Chen Qi and his party were brought to an ancient style pavilion.
The pavilion is a local restaurant. From the plaque under its eaves, we know that it is called [Shu Zhongtian].
There is also a couplet engraved on both sides.
The handwriting is strong and strong, and the writing is spirited.
The first couplet is: the wind and snow are blowing on the tongue vertically and horizontally;
The second line is: Talking and laughing, the stars in the chest are glowing.
If Chen Qi remembers it correctly, this is a couplet from the Three Kingdoms period, written by a veteran literary general.
It shows the courage to look at the world and be arrogant when one achieves success and fame.
Seeing that Chen Qi was attracted by the couplet in front of her, Zhuge Linglong couldn't help but said with a smile.
"This is one of my ancestor's favorite couplets, and it was written by him himself. What does Mr. Chen think?"
Chen Qi chuckled for a moment and did not comment on this.
With his hands behind his back, he stepped forward and walked proudly through the door.
Zhuge Linglong pursed her lips and followed him without asking for trouble.
