Just as the Dongcheng family has a strong reputation in the Central Plains, the Jiang family has a unique foundation in the northern frontier of Central China.
Perhaps the Jiang family in Northern Xinjiang cannot achieve the same absolute dominance as the Dongcheng family in the Central Plains, but in Northern Xinjiang, the Jiang family can definitely be said to be the largest wealthy family, bar none.
This is the Jiang family of Jiangshan.
It is also the Jiang family of Jiang Shangyu.
In the past hundred years, the Jiang family has been running Northern Xinjiang for close to three generations. If there are no accidents, there will be a fourth generation. If the management continues from generation to generation, sooner or later, this province with the largest area in Central Continent will completely become Jiang.
The back garden of the home.
This is a family with enough wisdom and tenacity.
Reasonable, steady and down-to-earth.
Almost all the changes in Northern Xinjiang in the past hundred years clearly bear the traces of the Jiang family.
The current patriarch of the Jiang family is Jiang Shan.
One of the members of the Central Continent Decision-making Bureau, the top leader in Northern Xinjiang, one of the former Four Spirits of Central Continent, and the former general of Kyushu.
This is a truly high and powerful position, whether in Northern Xinjiang or Central Continent.
The Jiang family prospered in Grandpa Jiangshan’s generation.
At that time, the old man did not have any so-called background or background. After being assigned a job, he came to Northern Xinjiang and worked hard on the ground for nearly forty years.
The old man himself has no great achievements, and the peak of his official career is only the mayor of a certain prefecture-level city.
But the old man left behind a network of contacts that cannot be underestimated.
With the support of the old man, Jiangshan's four brothers and sisters began to establish themselves in northern Xinjiang.
Jiangshan's uncle entered the western war zone.
My father continued to climb the official career, and finally entered the promotion sequence. Although he was a deputy, his energy was by no means ordinary, and he finally came into the sight of the Prince Group.
The aunt established the Jiang family business.
My uncle specializes in martial arts.
The four brothers and sisters each have their own development, and that was the beginning of the entire Jiang family.
After another few decades passed, the Jiang family began to explode in Jiangshan.
The resources accumulated by two generations in northern Xinjiang and the connections of the Prince Group have been fully utilized by Jiangshan.
Jiangshan has lived up to expectations and made its way up in this land with strong folk customs.
Steady, silent, strong, yet calm.
In three generations, the Jiang family has gone from having no foundation to a second-rate family, and finally completed its transformation into a first-tier wealthy family.
The Jiang family is the soul of Northern Xinjiang.
Northern Xinjiang is the Jiang family's support.
This feeling has been accumulated over successive generations and has become thick and hot.
Jiang Shangyu has been in Northern Xinjiang for a week.
But he never saw his father.
Jiangshan is very busy, very busy.
He can be said to be one of the most accomplished leaders in the history of Northern Xinjiang. His daily schedule is full. The news Jiang Shangyu got from his secretary is that Jiang Shan has not been home for nearly a month.
But Jiang Shangyu had to wait.
He had something very important to confirm with his father face to face.
The time is gradually approaching noon.
An old-fashioned Mercedes-Benz slowly drove into the Beijiang Board of Directors' compound. The Beijiang No. 1 plate reflected light in the sun, looking mysterious and majestic.
Jiang Shangyu, who had been sitting on the balcony in a daze, stood up and jumped directly from the balcony on the second floor.
The Mercedes-Benz came to a slow stop.
Jiang Shangyu walked to the car and opened the rear door himself.
Jiang Shan, who finally took some time to go home, got out of the car.
Jiang Shan is not tall and slightly obese. He is not yet fifty years old, his hair is already gray, and his skin is dark. Just looking at his appearance, he looks like an inconspicuous fat man.
But he is a very dignified fat man.
His expression was calm and calm, and his whole body carried a kind of majesty that comes naturally after being in a high position for a long time, just like the vast and vast northern land, desolate and distant.
Jiang Shangyu smiled and called dad.
Jiang Shan nodded and said calmly: "Eat first, I have a meeting in the afternoon."
Jiang Shangyu hummed, took the bag from his father and walked into Villa No. 1 in the director's compound.
Stay at home for seven days.
He knew very well that the only time he really spent with his father was for this meal.
Jiang Shangyu made several dishes by himself, and a braised fish was the only meaty dish.
The father and son sat at the dining table and ate in silence, as if the wind was blowing.
After dinner, Jiang Shangyu made Jiang Shan a cup of tea.
"What happened when you came back?"
Jiang Shan took the teacup and asked casually.
"The final exercises of the two houses will start in a month. Dad, will you go too?"
Jiang Shangyu asked.
Jiang Shan took a sip of scalding tea, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I've received the invitation, but I don't necessarily have the time."
He put down the teacup, knocked on the table and said, "Guhanshan has entered your Three Thousand Worlds?"
Jiang Shangyu nodded, his expression was still relaxed, but his eyes became serious.
This news has already spread throughout Central Continent.
But for the father and son, such news obviously has other meanings.
Jiang Shan's thick fingers tapped on the table, and after a long while, he said calmly: "What are your plans?"
"I came home this time just to see what your plans are."
Jiang Shangyu said respectfully.
Jiangshan fell silent again.
This time he was silent for longer.
Jiang Shangyu waited patiently.
"Wang Yuetong...is there any progress?"
Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Shangyu and asked suddenly.
Jiang Shangyu smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said: "Your son is not charming enough. I went to see her a few times, but she was neither cold nor warm. I never succeeded in asking her out to watch a movie or have a meal. I didn't even get close to her.
What progress can be made within two meters of her?"
"Always been this way?"
Jiangshan was also a little helpless.
Jiang Shangyu nodded. Although he was smiling bitterly, he didn't look very depressed: "I'm feeling calm now. I heard that she lived with Li Tianlan a few years ago. I have been in contact with that guy Li Tianlan. Although he disappeared for three years
, but he can always be said to be the number one among the younger generation in Central Continent, at least in terms of fame. Wang Yuetong has his own heart, and I don’t expect to change anything."
Jiang Shan frowned.
Wang Yuetong has always been one of her targets, but it was not until more than a year ago that Jiang Shan took action.
During the mid-term change more than a year ago, Jiang Shan could be said to be a further popular figure.
With the three giant directors stepping down, Jiangshan is sure to take any of the two positions, except for Dongcheng Wudi's position.
But the key is that he doesn't want to move at all.
But it was the Prince Group behind him that pushed him to the top.
Entering the Hidden Dragon Sea, the center of Central Continent, from Northern Xinjiang is a huge advancement in power, but this is not what Jiangshan wants.
In fact, the short-term expansion of power does not have many benefits. On the contrary, because Jiang Shangyu has not fully grown up, once he leaves Northern Xinjiang, the foundation of the entire Jiang family will be affected.
Northern Xinjiang is everything to the Jiang family.
Once the country reaches the commanding heights, the foundation and power they have built for generations will be severely damaged, which is something no one in the Jiang family wants to see.
But it was the Prince Group that proposed this motion.
Jiang Shan is one of the super heavyweights of the Prince Group. The Prince Group promoted him to the position not entirely out of concern for the growing Jiang family in northern Xinjiang, but out of overall considerations.
Pushing the country up a step, the vacant position of the top leader in Northern Xinjiang can be used for the successor of the Prince Group to come up in advance, and ultimately strive to get a better position and ranking in the next change of office.
This is considered from the perspective of the entire group.
And the benefits are obvious.
However, group interests and personal interests often conflict.
If Jiangshan does not move, it will be difficult for the next successor of the Prince Group to find an ideal gold-plated area.
After all, Jiang Shan was from the Prince Group. Even if he didn't want to move, he couldn't object openly at that time.
But at that time, he took advantage of the opportunity of inspection and quietly came into contact with the Wang family of Beihai.
He didn't hide what he was doing.
He met Wang Tianzong and expressed his hope to marry the Wang family of Beihai.
The subjects are Wang Yuetong and Jiang Shangyu.
At that time, Wang Tianzong's face was ashen and he said that he had no control over his dead girl, but he also said that he could let them have some contact with her first.
Not long after Jiang Shan came back, Wang Yuetong entered Youzhou, and has been working in the General Staff at the deputy director level this year, which created an opportunity for Jiang Shangyu.
The contact between Jiangshan and the Wang family in Beihai is obvious.
After careful consideration and repeated pressure from Kunlun City, the Prince Group finally gave up on the idea of moving Jiangshan.
But a rift between the two sides has gradually formed.
Jiang Shangyu knew that his father had expectations for the marriage between him and Wang Yuetong.
But now it seems that such a marriage is totally useless.
Therefore, over the past year or so, as rifts have gradually developed with the Prince Group, the Jiang family has been in a difficult situation and under great pressure.
It is not a secret that the Jiang family cannot marry the Wang family of Beihai.
So the special operations group, which had always been close to the Jiang family, began to quietly extend an olive branch.
But Jiangshan never responded.
As the final exercise of the two houses approaches, Jiang Shangyu's Three Thousand Realms accepted Gu Hanshan. This can be said to be the most obvious signal given by the Jiang family in more than a year.
This signal is sensitive enough to at least cause uneasiness in the Prince Group.
But nothing is determined yet.
Jiang Shangyu came back and wanted to see Jiang Shan's specific plans.
Guhan Mountain enters the Three Thousand Realms.
This seems to be a transaction and alliance between juniors.
But in fact, within the Special Operations Group and the Prince Group, this is the clearest signal.
There are two outcomes under this signal.
The first is that with Guhan Mountain occupying a dominant position, Jiang Shangyu withdrew from the Three Thousand Realm after the final exercise.
The second type is that Jiang Shangyu stays and serves as the number two figure in the Three Thousand World.
The first ending proves that although Jiang Shan has a rift with the Prince Group, he is still a member of the Prince Group, at least there is no obvious alienation.
The second one is tantamount to directly indicating that the Jiang family has one foot in the position of the special warfare group.
The Jiang family's position will become very delicate.
The impact of a member of the policy bureau changing his position is too great, but before Jiangshan officially makes the final decision, the Jiang family still has the value of winning over, but it will also cause hostility within the Prince Group.
This is a subtle and dangerous opportunity.
Before the final exercise begins, Jiang Shangyu must listen to his father's decision.
"If you haven't decided, I can withdraw from the Three Thousand Worlds after the exercise."
Jiang Shangyu said suddenly.
Jiang Shan paused while tapping his fingers on the table, raised his eyelids and looked at him and said, "Are you willing?"
Jiang Shangyu smiled: "It's nothing. Guhanshan can't take away the things that belong to me."
Jiang Shan took a deep look at his son and said calmly: "What are your plans?"
"There is no specific plan yet, just a goal."
Jiang Shangyu shook his head and whispered: "Li Tianlan."
Jiang Shan's eyes suddenly condensed: "Li Tianlan... you want to cooperate with him?"
"You have to make some contact first."
Jiang Shangyu smiled brightly when he thought of the young man who almost killed him in Tiandu three years ago.
"What if you don't have to exit the Three Thousand Worlds?"
Jiang Shan asked.
"Then it is even more necessary to contact Li Tianlan."
Jiang Shangyu lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "I can give up the dominance of the Three Thousand Realms to Gu Hanshan. But why can't he ask himself why? Why should he be so natural?"
"Be careful."
Jiang Shan frowned.
"Father, don't worry."
Jiang Shangyu said softly: "I won't do anything before I'm sure."
Jiang Shan hummed and said, "Then don't quit just yet. How long do you have until you enter the Thunder Realm?"
Jiang Shangyu has exquisite bones and even the heart of a king.
He was at the peak of the Burning Fire Realm three years ago.
Three years later this year, I still have not entered the thunder realm.
"anytime."
Jiang Shangyu laughed: "Dad, I'm going to celebrate myself. Let me borrow my second uncle's cruise ship."
"You're thinking..."
Jiangshan groaned.
"I want to hold a banquet. The venue will be at Huating."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said: "The invitations have been sent out. Wang Shengxiao, Gu Hanshan, Song Ci, Li Tianlan, Dongcheng, etc. will all receive invitations. In addition... I also invited Wang Yuetong. Li Tianlan will go, and Wang Yuetong will definitely also
I will go, huh... maybe there will be a lot of fun then."
"Wang Yuetong..."
Jiang Shan shook his head and sighed: "What a pity. If she could marry you..."
Jiang Shangyu was a little surprised: "Dad, why do you attach so much importance to the Beihai Wang family? Even if we don't stay in the Prince Group, we will not be worse than the Beihai Wang family in the special operations group, right?"
"What do you know?"
Jiang Shan shook his head mockingly: "The Beihai Wang Family has a special status in Central Continent. They are powerful, but their focus is destined to be in the Beihai Province. If we cooperate with the Beihai Wang Family, Northern Xinjiang may become a force of the Southeast Group.
The scope, but specifically here, the Jiang family is the master, and as long as we have no other thoughts, Wang Tianzong will not interfere in the affairs of Northern Xinjiang."
"Kunlun City is different. Even if we join the special warfare group, Gu Xingyun will quietly support the forces that can compete with the Jiang family. Kunlun City has a long history, but the time at its peak is too short. It is just an upstart.
How does it compare with the Beihai Wang family?"
"You can underestimate any force, but you must never underestimate the Wang family of Beihai."
Jiang Shan said with serious eyes.
Jiang Shangyu hummed casually and said with a smile: "Of course, how am I qualified to look down on the Wang family of Beihai now?"
Jiang Shan frowned and sighed softly: "We are in a difficult situation now, but if there are other choices, it is better to stay away from Li Tianlan as much as possible. That kind of possible cooperation..."
He paused suddenly: "You think highly of him?"
"That's a man with infinite possibilities."
Jiang Shangyu said seriously: "I have been in contact with him. If someone like him is not sure, he will never be as public as he is now. I saw from the video that he severely injured Gu Yunxia, and I also saw him and Song Ci.
The video of the battle gives me a feeling... something is wrong. Li Tianlan is very abnormal, but I can't tell what is abnormal. Dad, I have an intuition that the current Wang Shengxiao should not be Li Tianlan's opponent. Even the younger generation
In the middle, Li Tianlan has no opponent."
"so what?"
Jiang Shan said calmly: "After all, they are just the younger generation. Does Li Tianlan have time to grow up?"
"As for the older generation, there is nothing to worry about."
Jiang Shangyu said disapprovingly: "His Royal Highness Li Honghe is still alive. He forcibly restored his peak state at the border. He should be getting stronger and stronger now. Mr. Li was third on the God List back then. Even if he is still not Wang Tianzong's opponent now, he is still not weak.
Where has he gone? As long as he is alive, the Beihai Wang family will not dare to take action easily."
"really."
Jiang Shan's face was a little gloomy: "The Beihai Wang family does not dare to take action easily. But it does not mean that he will never do it!"
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a while. Thinking of the Beihai Wang family's increasingly majestic behavior in recent years, he still shook his head: "If we really take action... I don't think they can withstand Mr. Li's death counterattack. That will
They suffered heavy losses."
"fart!"
Jiang Shan's slightly fat face trembled.
He glared at his son fiercely, took a deep breath, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Our Jiang family has developed well in recent years... Many people say that if an invincible master can appear in the Jiang family, then we will definitely not be able to do it now.
Have you ever heard of the saying that it will be weaker than a truly top wealthy family like the Dongcheng family?"
Jiang Shangyu raised his eyebrows and nodded subconsciously.
Jiang Shan smiled, a little painful and a little self-deprecating: "Actually... we once had invincible masters."
Brush it.
Jiang Shangyu almost jumped up.
Is there an invincible master in the Jiang family?
Even before, Jiang Shangyu had never heard of it.
"How can it be?!"
He took a deep breath and asked.
"Nothing is impossible. It's just that few people know it. Maybe only I know it."
Jiang Shan smiled extremely ugly: "Our Jiang family's invincible masters can almost be regarded as the shortest-lived invincible masters in the dark world. This is not an honor, but a shame."
Jiang Shangyu breathed rapidly and looked at his father.
"It's your little grandpa."
Jiang Shan sighed softly: "We have always been very close to the special warfare group. More than 20 years ago, after Li Kuangtzu rebelled against the country, Kunlun City had just come to power. During that period, the old patriarch of the Wang family in Beihai died not long ago..."
"You should know that Wang Tianzong broke through to invincibility relatively late, so during that time, the Wang family in Beihai did not have an invincible master."
"Gu Xingyun has great ambitions. He just stepped on the Li family and wanted to take advantage of the empty period of the Beihai Wang family to swallow up the Beihai Wang family. During that time, Wang Tianzong did not enter the invincible state. As long as he dies, the Beihai King will
It’s a different situation.”
"But at that time, Kunlun City was closely watched by all parties, and it was not convenient for them to take action, so they found your little grandfather, my brother-in-law."
"At that time, my uncle seemed to be in the top half-step invincible realm, but only I knew that he had just broken through the invincible realm not long ago. It was precisely because of this that we were moved by the benefits offered by Kunlun City. My invincible realm
My brother-in-law accepted this deal and went to the Wang family in Beihai to assassinate Wang Tianzong."
The corner of Jiang Shangyu's mouth twitched and he subconsciously said: "What happened next?"
"later?"
The corner of Jiang Shan's mouth twitched and he said dryly: "He naturally failed and died."
"How did you die?"
Jiang Shangyu asked.
Jiangshan was silent for a long time before taking a deep breath.
"I have no idea."
Jiang Shan said: "Although my uncle finally escaped, he died in front of me before he could even say a few words to me."
"The person who left him with fatal injuries was not an invincible master, but..."
Jiang Shan's face showed a look of panic similar to a nightmare.
It was unabashed fear and apprehension, coming from instinct and originating from the soul.
"But... twelve elites, six in the thunder realm, and six in the fire realm!"
"How can it be?!"
Jiang Shangyu couldn't help shouting.
He couldn't imagine how this ridiculous lineup could kill an invincible master.
Even if you are a master who has entered the invincible realm for the first time.
"This is true."
After the extreme fear, Jiang Shan's expression was only numb.
"Who are they?"
Jiang Shangyu asked subconsciously.
"I've checked secretly, but to no avail. It's as if those people don't exist. The only clue I have is a name left behind by your grandfather when he passed away."
Jiang Shan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Demon Legion!"
