"Parents, are you afraid? You are afraid of failure and cannot bear the consequences of failure." Fuma Kotaro's voice became colder, "How can a man who is the patriarch be cowardly? Fear without fighting,
This is a taboo in war!"
"Yes, Master Feng Mo, you are right. I am afraid. Of course I will be afraid. Since the day I took over as the head of the family, I have not been afraid every day." Yuan Zhisheng said sincerely, "My life plan was originally
There are no such words as Sheqibajia and Big Family. I should leave the country and sell sunscreen on Montalive Beach in France... But I have no choice but to bear the mission of Big Family."
"At this point, the ups and downs of the family, the honor and disgrace, and the lives of all the clan members have become a heavy burden on my shoulders. If my will is not strong enough, the family may move into an abyss of eternal destruction. Once I make a wrong decision, the family may
Hundreds of people shed their blood and died." Yuan Zhisheng asked several rhetorical questions one after another, "Is the position of a parent really a supreme power? Isn't it more like a responsibility? This responsibility makes people
Walking on thin ice. Master Feng Mo, you said that people with cowardly intentions are not qualified to be the head of the family, but in my opinion, people who do not feel compassion for the sacrifices of their clan members are not qualified to be the head of the family."
This was the first time that Minamoto was honest, revealing his desire to sell sunscreen on a nudist beach in France in front of the family owners except Tachibana Masamune. Minamoto originally gave everyone the impression of being extremely aloof and tough, but he
His words at this moment undoubtedly exposed the fragile side of his heart... But he was real at this moment, because people can't really have a stubborn heart. No matter how strong a person is, they can only hide their inner cowardice where others can't see it.
place.
"But a war cannot avoid sacrifices. At least all of us in the Fuma family are ready to risk our lives at any time before the war." Fuma Kotaro's voice slowed down slightly, "If the opportunity is delayed because of fear of sacrifice, then that's
It was a fatal mistake that could lead to the family falling into the abyss."
"Timing...Does the Feng Mo Family Master really think that he has figured out the timing?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
Fuma Kotaro frowned slightly, confused by Minamoto's question.
"Family heads, do you think that if we really find the ruins of the Age of Gods, uncover the taboo civilization, and successfully find the 'god' as expected...who will be the happiest person?" Yuan Zhi paused.
Dun, "Or let me put it another way, at this point in time when 'God' is about to revive, apart from us, the Snake Qiba Family, who want to kill 'God'... who would most hope to grasp the traces of 'God'?"
This is a very pointed question, and the answer is ready to come out.
"The fierce ghosts." Sakurai Nanami said, "Those guys who want to resurrect the 'god'."
"To be precise, it is the king general, because the entire Menggui crowd is just a chess piece of the king general." Yuan Zhisheng corrected, "If we open the well of the 'god's body without any defense, we are very likely to
Become another chess piece of the king's general, and our hard exploration and sacrifice may just be used as someone else's wedding dress."
"Do you think the king will be able to reap the benefits?" Fuma Kotaro asked coldly, "Why does he?"
"Based on the timing you just mentioned, Feng Mo Patriarch." Yuan Zhisheng said, "The king is a very scheming conspirator. For a qualified conspirator, seizing the opportunity is his sharpest means. Dear Patriarchs,
Haven't you discovered a very strange situation...the Menggui people seem to have suddenly become too quiet recently?"
Family heads, you look at me, I look at you, exchanging glances with each other... Indeed, just as Yuan Zhisheng said, the Menggui people have been too peaceful recently, whether it is the forces under each family or the various forces of the Sheqi Eight Family.
The branch has not heard anything about the Menggui Clan in the past few days. This organization that has always insisted on fighting the family to the end seems to have suddenly disappeared overnight.
"All the heads of the family are older than me, and you have experienced wars with the Mongolian Ghosts for longer than me. You all know what a vicious organization the Mongolian Ghosts are. If they seize the opportunity, they will not hesitate.
It will completely plunge the family into the abyss." Yuan Zhisheng said, "And our Sheqiba family has just experienced the crisis of being attacked by Deadpool at the headquarters. This is an unprecedented disaster. If the Menggui seize this opportunity to attack us,
Launching a surprise attack would definitely deal a huge blow to us, but they did not do so. What made them give up such a good opportunity? Because we unilaterally stopped the war with them, the Menggui also decided to fight with us
Putting things to rest in peace? Do you family heads think it is possible?"
The family heads present all fell into a long silence. Since the war with the Menggui stopped, all their energy these days has been devoted to finding the ultimate enemy of "god". Now they are suddenly reminded by Yuan Zhisheng,
When you think about it carefully, the behavior of the Menggui people is really incredible. The Menggui people and the Sheqiba family have had a long-standing grudge. The Sheqiba family is willing to shake hands and make peace with the Sheqiba family after they unilaterally stop the war. This behavior is by no means unreasonable.
The behavior of ghosts.
"The only explanation is that the meng ghosts are waiting for the opportunity. Like us, all their strength is focused on the goal of 'gods'." Yuan Zhisheng said, "Our goal is to kill 'gods'
, the purpose of the meng ghosts is to resurrect the 'god'. In this war, whoever can seize the right opportunity to seize the final ownership of the 'god' will be the winner of this war, and the loser will eat the dust."
"What you are saying is that the Menggui people may be watching the movements of our Sheqiba family. They are using us to find the whereabouts of the 'god'. After achieving their goal, they will give us a fatal blow, right?" The head of the Longma family suddenly said
Make a sound.
Gen Zhisheng unexpectedly glanced at Ryoma Genichiro. This middle-aged head of the family is the most inconspicuous among the eight surnamed family heads, and is also recognized as the most mediocre. He did not expect that he would speak up at this time and point out the problem directly.
The core of it made Yuan Zhisheng unable to help but look at it differently.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, you must have heard clearly what Masahiko Sakurai just described. We only touched the periphery of the ruins of the Age of Gods, and we encountered troublesome things like the Ghost-toothed Dragon Viper."
If the ruins are opened, the dangers involved will definitely be far beyond our imagination. We are equivalent to gambling with the lives of our people." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Fuma Kotaro, "I know everyone is ready to take care of themselves at any time.
The consciousness of serving justice, but this is not what I should let go as the head of the family. I can't just watch the Snake Qi Eight Family forcibly open the ruins of the Gods and then be severely damaged, and then be taken advantage of by the monsters. Then we are
Really lost opportunity!”
Fuma Kotaro fell into silence. The most senior old man had always been loyal to the family, but he was by no means stupid. The former king of ninjas quickly analyzed the current situation clearly after Minamoto's reminder... It was indeed true.
As Yuan Zhisheng said, the Mongolian Ghosts did not move. They wanted to be the oriole after the Praying Mantis. If the Sheqiba family suffered heavy losses when opening the well to hide the corpses, the Mongolian Ghosts could take advantage of the situation and defeat the Snakes.
The Qiba family plundered the fruits of the She Qiba family, and once the "gods" fall into the hands of the fierce ghosts, the entire She Qiba family will be unable to recover no matter how united they are. It will be the darkest moment for this thousand-year-old family.
"My idea was reckless." Fuma Kotaro bowed to Yuan Zisheng, "But we can't just sit back and wait for death. The well of corpses will be opened one day, and 'gods' are also existences that we cannot avoid... Then
When do you think the time is right?"
"wait."
"Wait?" Fuma Kotaro was stunned, "When?"
"When the enemy shows his weakness," Yuan Zhisheng whispered, "it will be the decisive moment. The most anxious person should not be us, the most anxious person should be the guy who wants to get the 'god'. This is
In a showdown between patience and perseverance, those who act blindly mean losing the opportunity. No matter how deep the king's palace is, he cannot always be patient in the face of the resurgence of the 'god'. Once the king shows his flaws,
We will use the power of thunder to wipe out the enemies on our front and back, and finally use the strength of the entire clan to face the 'god'. This is our only chance to win."
The heads of the family began to discuss quietly among themselves. After Nanami Sakurai and Masahiko Sakurai exchanged a look, she took the lead in stating that she supported all the decisions of the heads of family on behalf of the Sakurai family. After the meeting, the Sakurai family would send manpower to guard the Tama River.
, beware of the ferocious ghosts taking advantage of the situation.
After the head of the Sakurai family, the heads of the Inuyama family, Miyamoto family and Ryoma family also expressed their opinions. Finally, Fuma Kotaro also nodded slowly, expressing his agreement with Minamoto's idea.
This hastily held meeting came to an end in a hurry. Sakurai Masahiko returned to the front line of Tama River without stopping. After receiving Minamoto's instructions, all the family heads also rushed back to the family to explain the family's recent policy.
The recent instructions have been changing again and again, almost every day, but no family leader thinks that this is unnecessary. This is how war should be. It is about the life and death of the Sheqiba family. No one will think that it is troublesome to be cautious.
.
In the end, the only ones left on the terrace of Xingshenji Temple were Minamoto Shosei and Fuma Kotaro.
Minamoto was standing on the edge of the terrace overlooking the huge city below, while Fuma Kotaro was sitting in his original seat, filling his cup with hot tea.
"It seems like we can't avoid tit-for-tat with everyone in every meeting." Fuma Kotaro suddenly said, "This is a bad habit left over from a young age. As ninjas, we can't help but question everything.
I am worried that there is something wrong here, or there is something wrong there, otherwise it will be difficult to survive on the battlefield. This problem will become more serious as I get older, and I will be paranoid all day long. I hope you parents will not take it personally."
"How could it be so? Your doubts are all reasonable. Although I am young, I can still tell the difference between good and bad. Everyone can learn from the sincerity of Feng Mo Family Master towards the family." Yuan Zhisheng said softly, "Although I am the patriarch, Snake
The Qihachi Family is not just my opinion, it is only when someone raises reasonable doubts that a meeting can proceed smoothly."
"You can distinguish right from wrong better than I thought." Fuma Kotaro said sincerely. At this time, he was not as sharp as when he questioned Minamoto Chisheng in the meeting, but more like a kind elder.
"Master Feng Mo is so ridiculous." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head gently.
After a moment of silence, Fuma Kotaro spoke again: "Mr. Masamune was unable to attend today's meeting. Is it because of the confinement punishment imposed on him by the parents in the last meeting?"
"No, the prohibitions of confinement do not include family meetings. Mr. Masamune did not come because he was unwell." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "Probably because of Lu Mingfei's serious injury and the 'ear-cutting punishment' a few days ago.
As for his health, he has been transferred to the intensive care unit since yesterday."
"Speaking of it, Mr. Masamune actually made a great contribution to the family. The family can stand today, and Mr. Masamune deserves the most credit." Fuma Kotaro sighed slightly, "To be honest, I don't have any objections to you, our patriarch, but
In my heart, I had always hoped that the Snake Qihachi family would reach its peak in the hands of Mr. Masamune. This is probably the common wish of the older generations of the family."
"Indeed, compared with Mr. Masamune, who has governed the Sheqi Eighth Family for ten years, I still have many immature aspects." Yuan Zhisheng paused, "In fact, after being with Mr. Masamune for so long, the methods he taught me
I keep it all in mind, but I don’t plan to follow Mr. Masamune’s example in managing the family. Maybe it’s a bit arrogant to say this, but I intend to find a new way to manage the Sheqihachi family. I can’t guarantee that I can do it better than Mr. Masamune did before.
It will be better, but I will try my best.”
"That's good. Having a heart that thinks about the family is more important than anything else." Fuma Kotaro whispered, "I don't know when Mr. Masamune lost this heart...or if he never had it."
Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. He slowly turned his head and took a deep look at the old man who was drinking tea.
"I had a brief conversation with Inuyama-kun after the last meeting. I already know that Mr. Masamune has the intention to betray the family." Fuma Kotaro said, "But don't worry, I won't ask to the end. Knowing this is enough.
, I just want to know what you think about today’s meeting. Does the content of today’s meeting need to be kept completely confidential from Mr. Masamune?”
"No, on the contrary, in fact, what I said in today's meeting was meant for Mr. Masamune. Although he did not attend the meeting in person, I believe someone will help me pass it on to his ears." Yuan Zhisheng said the last sentence.
He said in a voice that only he could hear, "The next step is just to wait... until the day when he can't help but reveal his flaws."
…
"Guest, I see you keep looking at your watch. Are you in a hurry?"
The taxi driver looked at the two passengers in the back seat, a man and a woman, through the rearview mirror. The man who had been chatting with him was the male passenger, but the female passenger was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
"That's right, I'm going to a dinner party and I've already made an appointment with someone." Lu Mingfei stared at his watch.
