Chapter 997: The Aristocratic Family Has a Dream
The arrival of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce was of great practical significance. The issue of enfeoffment once again attracted the attention of many people. In the past, everyone had only speculated about each other based on gossip, but this time the news was actually spread.
When Zhou Yu was entrusted by Chen Xi to spread the word and inform various families to help Chen Xi investigate the situation, some more remote families also emerged from the ground.
"Is that the patriarch of the Ji family?" When a group of southern noble families gathered in the Wu family's restaurant to build relationships with each other, a sharp-eyed guy saw the cloud-patterned seal characters on a certain car frame and said to the others with some surprise.
"How is that possible? Would the Ji family leave their hometown? I heard that they created a super evil god some time ago, and the whole family was almost lost. There is no way they have time to come out at this point."
Xie Zhen answered casually, as a native of Shanyin, Kuaiji, how could he not know what the Ji family next door was like.
If in the past everyone thought that the Ji family's technique of nurturing gods and the evil gods and demons they nurtured were all jokes, then in this era, basically everyone who has some idea in their minds has more or less realized that the Ji family might be playing for real, but people just didn't bother to be with them in the past.
And the reason why the Ji family is becoming more and more arrogant is because of the Xuan-Yuan Sword. In the past, the Ji family had made full preparations before dealing with the evil god, but now...
If there is something that cannot be handled, just use the blood of Emperor Huang to activate the Xuanyuan Sword. With one sword, all the damn evil gods will be killed.
This is also the reason why many noble families living near the Ji family want to run away. The Ji family is not a human being, and who knows if they will be implicated one day.
Compared with the Ji family's, the black technologies they play with are nothing.
The scales of Yinglong, the hair of Nükui, the feathers of Suzaku... As long as you can find a creature in mythology, the Ji family has the corresponding materials. Who would dare to stay with such a noble family?
"Look for yourself." Ding Lan was also from Kuaiji. He was not familiar with Xie Zhen before, but now everyone has gone out to pursue their careers. The locals have banded together for warmth, so their relationship has naturally improved a lot.
There is no other way but to stick together. The Ji family is just too scary. If you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and see a Zhulong or Xiangliu in the sky, even if they are just phantoms, who can stand it?
Xie Zhen turned his head and took a look. At this time Ji Zhong just got off the carriage, so he happened to see Ji Zhong's figure. He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but the moment he saw him, Xie Zhen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
At this moment, anyone who saw Ji Zhong's southern family drinking afternoon tea was basically sweating profusely, and their hands holding the tea were shaking.
But the next second, Ji Zhong was struck by lightning and spat out a mouthful of blood. The cold feeling on his body disappeared immediately and he looked much more energetic.
"Drink...drink, drink tea!" Xie Zhen shifted his gaze with difficulty, picked up the hot tea in front of him, and drank it slowly despite his shaking hands. After a few sips, he felt better. "You, the evil god, still want to scare me."
"This is Luoyang, a mere evil god is looking for death !" Ding Lan sneered.
However, the group of people's fear of the Ji family reached a new level. Although they didn't know how the Ji family did it, they could still exude that kind of aura after entering Luoyang.
It is enough to prove the power of the evil god in .
If it were a weakling, he would probably have been crushed by the clouds before even entering Luoyang.
However, the opponent actually had the ability to make them feel pressure at such a long distance in Luoyang, but it was precisely because it was too jumpy that it caused a counterattack from Guoyun.
Judging from the other party's appearance, he must be here to take advantage of the country's fortune for free.
That's right, Ji Zhong came to Luoyang to find someone to help. There was a little problem with their fishing plan. The plan of waiting for the rabbit failed. Instead of waiting for the high-quality Shanhaijing creatures, they waited for unknown evil things? Fortunately, the Ji family was well prepared and no one was hurt.
But the person was only safe. Most of their supplies were used up and they managed to seal the evil god into Ji Zhong's body.
It’s not that they can’t kill it. For them, killing a sealed evil god is a piece of cake. If it doesn’t work, they can just use the Xuanyuan Sword to kill it with one sword.
The Xuanyuan Sword, carrying the country's destiny, chopped down these monsters and demons, basically killing them indiscriminately.
But the Ji family was unwilling to do so. This time, the Ji family had to find a way to get it back because they had lost everything they had lost. This evil god was the basis for them to get their money back.
In short, the Ji family had no intention of turning into evil, but this extremely rare evil spirit could not be eliminated directly, so Ji Zhong could only bring the evil spirit to Luoyang, the heartland of the Central Plains, the core of the empire, to suppress the evil spirit from backlash. Once the arrangements here were completed , he could just find a European emperor to go fishing together.
By the way, Ji Zhonglian had already prepared the candidate for the European Emperor, that is Sun Ce. They were originally planning how to invite Sun Ce back to Luoyang, but they didn't expect that Sun Ce actually ran back to Luoyang directly.
Next, you just need to stay in Luoyang City, use the national destiny to suppress the evil spirit, and offer blood sacrifices to the evil spirit every day to prevent the evil spirit from being dissipated by the national destiny. After all, this is a precious bait and you can't lose it.
On the other side, Guo Hao felt something after the country's destiny was affected.
"Is there something wrong with the Ji family? They actually brought evil spirits to Luoyang?" Guo Hao's face turned dark. Other family members might think that there was something wrong with the head of the Ji family, but Guo Hao could be sure that the evil spirit in Ji Zhong's body was raised by Ji Zhong, otherwise it would have been crushed by his suppression just now.
The Ji family itself is a problem child. If it weren't for the fact that they have always cooperated with the court, he really wanted to stab Ji Zhong to death with the Xuanyuan Sword right now.
You brought this evil spirit to Luoyang, are you looking for trouble?
If the evil spirit were to run rampant and cause casualties, it would have a terrible impact on the imperial court.
"Go, let Jia Xu give the Ji family a warning, and let Dian Wei and Tuanzi go with them. If they are possessed by evil spirits, kill them immediately!"
Guo Hao knew that the Ji family should have no ill intentions. After all, they were the legitimate descendants of Emperor Huang. But they openly carried such a terrorist bomb and did not even inform the court in advance. Did they really think they could get away with it?
So Guo Hao directly killed Jia Xu. Most people knew who Jia Xu was and what he had done, so many aristocratic families did not dare to provoke Guo Hao.
Who can guarantee that Guo Hao really didn’t know when Jia Xu killed the prince?
If everyone knows that Chen Xi is a white ball with a bottom line, at most he is black when cut open.
Then they really don’t know whether Guo Hao is black or white. Although black and white are meaningless, this unknown does make everyone more fearful.
Jia Xu had a strong execution ability. As soon as Ji Zhong entered his family's villa in Chang'an, Jia Xu's visiting card was sent to the Ji family. Ji Zhong was a little confused. What was going on? I haven't even sat down yet, and someone is looking for our family. What a joke! I have no friends in my family, only sacrifices.
"Jia Xu?" Ji Zhong looked at him and scratched his head. They had no contact at all.
I don't know them well. I don't even know all the southern families. I just marry off my daughter occasionally. I don't have any contact with them. What's the situation? What is this for?
"Master, Jia Xu should have been sent by the general." The butler still had some impression. As the person in charge of external contacts, he knew more or less what kind of person Jia Xu was.
"General..." Ji Zhong thought for a moment, then paused.
Although Ji Zhong is not an orthodox family head, he has lived for so many years after all, and he is not really stupid. It is obvious that he is here to call for punishment.
Ji Zhong felt a little guilty. They had just gotten something for free and then someone came to their door. This was unreasonable.
If Guo Hao's control over the country's destiny has reached this level, then didn't Guo Hao know everything when they were fighting over the Xuanyuan Sword?
Others may not understand what level this has reached, but the Ji family understands it very well. Isn't this just becoming one with the national destiny? Isn't this following the path of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
"Please come in, you can't hide here anymore!" Ji Zhong spread his hands. What else could he do? If he was caught, he would just have to deal with it.
Originally, they planned to contact the imperial court again later, but they didn't expect that they were the clowns. No wonder others were able to obtain the Xuan-Yuan Sword while they could only borrow it.
It turns out that the clown is from their Ji family. If they had known this earlier, they would have cooperated more with the court.
"Jia Wenhe greets the head of the Ji family." Jia Xu clasped his fists and bowed, while also looking at Ji Zhong.
Although it can be seen that Ji Zhong is very tired, his eyes are clear and he is not affected by the evil spirit. In this case, things should not be the worst.
Ji Zhong looked at Dian Wei and Tuanzi behind Jia Xu, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Others may not know what is going on with these two people, but the evil in his body has now shrunk into a ball.
Especially Tuanzi, the first thing he saw reminded him of Chiyou’s mount.
Why has no one told him this? The Xuan-Yuan Sword, the Jiuzhou Cauldron, and the iron-eating beast. Isn't this a typical reserve for the Human Emperor?
"Why did the head of the Ji family bring evil spirits to Luoyang?" Jia Xu went straight to the point.
"Well, because I don't want to eliminate this evil spirit, but I'm afraid it will affect me. It's troublesome to suppress it by myself, so I brought the evil spirit to Chang'an. It will be easier with the national destiny to suppress it." Ji Zhong said bluntly, and Jia Xu was stunned.
He had not expected this explanation, it was quite frank, which made an old fox like him a little uncomfortable.
"Why not report it!" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes. If you are so honest, why don't you inform the court? You were honest only after being exposed. What were you doing before?
This kind of person is either stupid or evil.
Ji Zhong's mouth twitched again. How should he explain this? He thought that his family was pretty cool and that nothing would go wrong and that he could get away with it?
Ultimately, it is the descendants of Emperor Huang that gave them the pride in their bones.
All the aristocratic families in the world, including the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, are actually of little use.
The so-called tribute is nothing more than the stewards and other people trying to keep in line with the secular customs and other families.
The foundation is there, so they have the capital to be proud.
But now that he found out that Guo Hao was starting to challenge the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, his arrogance couldn't help but be humbled.
Forget it. You have to stand at attention when you are beaten. They brought evil spirits to Luoyang, so it is reasonable to inform them.
"General Dian!" Seeing Ji Zhong silent, Jia Xu couldn't help but call out softly.
Dian Wei's body suddenly swelled up, and the Ji family gave him a feeling of danger.
The two guards of the Ji family suddenly swelled up and rushed over, exuding an aura of breaking through the world.
"Let's talk it over, let's talk it over!" Ji Zhong spoke quickly.
Our family knows our own business. The guards we have are good at dealing with ordinary realm-breaking attacks, but facing the strong man in front of them, they probably can't even take a single punch.
I don't have much money, so I'd better not bother with it.
But it was too late. Before he could finish his words, Dian Wei's fists had already smashed through the heads of the two guards.
Jia Xu signaled Dian Wei to pause, then looked at Ji Zhong.
"Master Ji, it seems you have a lot to say to me!" Jia Xu sneered as he looked at the two guards who could still move without their heads.
Ji Zhong was heartbroken, this was the little fortune they had!
Ji Zhong had no choice but to tell all his family affairs. Even if he wanted to hide it, it would be meaningless because Jia Xu's questions all hit the nail on the head.
He couldn't hide it at all.
"So that's how it is! The Ji family is indeed known for its long history!" Jia Xu nodded. He was actually very surprised in his heart. He had thought that these Taoist guys were quite extravagant, but he didn't expect that the Ji family was even more powerful.
While the Taoists were still randomly fishing in ponds, the Ji family had already started electrofishing in reservoirs.
Although there is no essential difference between the two, the technological gap is unlikely to be closed within a few decades.
After all, they have been playing this game for hundreds of years, so Jia Xu said he could accept it.
After returning to Weiyang Palace, Jia Xu began to investigate other aristocratic families. The affairs of the Ji family reminded them that aristocratic families cannot stand still.
My ancestors were all wealthy, so I had to take a look at what each family was doing.
Over at the Weiyang Palace, Jia Xu was looking through the information on the major families compiled in recent years, and then using his spiritual talents to look up the problems in them.
"How is it?" Guo Jia asked Jia Xu, who had already finished reading the information, with a little curiosity.
"Based on my spiritual talent, I have found that most of the intelligence I have collected has some problems. It's not that they are untrue, but that there are other problems. In other words, only a few years have passed, and the major families have already turned their imaginations into reality."
Jia Xu said with a sigh, although he knew from the beginning that the major families were definitely not good people, it was really too much for this group of people to be so extravagant.
If the Ji family hadn't revealed their true colors this time, he would never have noticed these aristocratic families.
Although the current results are still relatively rubbish and can be easily crushed by a single guard, after analyzing them with his spiritual talent, he finds that almost all of them have merits.
Maybe after a few more years of experimentation, they can all become reality.
Among them, there are as many as eighteen projects involving immortality, but most of them have more troubles than immortals, and the rest also have various problems, but they are indeed being researched.
Jia Xu was greatly enlightened by what he saw. Although he could quickly review many things based on the existing information, he could not have come up with these ideas if he had been left to think on his own.
It can be said that each company has its own dream. It is not easy to achieve it in China. If they are released outside, they will definitely be the kind of world-destroying demon who deserves to be conquered.
