Chapter 54: Elder Injured
In the next three days, Zhu Yushou adhered to the central idea of getting less trouble when he went out, and stayed in the backyard to practice hard. When he had time, he "invite" Dong Tianbao to come for dinner and chat.
Now, his cultivation has reached a small achievement in Tongji Realm. His trip to Beihuang County is quite outstanding, and it is useless to just hide his shortcomings. He simply openly attracted his disciples and cultivated his power.
The rules of the Zhu family, when the cultivation level of the clan reaches the Marrow Cleansing Realm, they can receive the treatment of elders. From then on, they officially entered the Presbyterian Church of the core ruling class of the Zhu family, and had the right to make speech decisions on all matters of the Zhu family.
But elders also have real power and virtual power.
Similar to the elders in charge, the elders in the foreign affairs, the elders in the punishment hall, etc., they all control the great power of the clan, and their roots are deep, so their voice among the elders will naturally be greater.
And like Elder Zhang Xiao and Elder Chen Qun, who are from disciples, have no foundation in the clan and have no real power to take charge. Although the status in the clan is noble, they have no right to speak in the Presbyterian Church.
If the children of the Zhu family have the opportunity to enter the Presbyterian Church, they naturally hope to be the elders who are truly powerful.
Therefore, if the children of the clan feel that they are expected to break through the Marrow Cleansing Realm, they will attract their disciples early and accumulate power to serve as a helper to enter the Presbyterian Church in the future.
Zhu Yushou's actions at this time were to give everyone a signal that he would be confident that he could reach the Marrow Cleansing Realm and enter the Presbyterian Council.
This is equivalent to setting a banner for yourself. As for how many people will gather under this banner, it depends on how fast and far you are.
On this day, Dong Tianbao came over to have tea as usual.
In the eyes of others, these two people were too close and had basically determined their subordinate relationship. Only one procedure for the Secretary-General was left, so Dong Tianbao could be transferred to Zhu Yushou's subordinates in a legitimate manner.
"Not good."
At this moment, a figure like the wind rushed into Zhu Yushou's room quickly. It was Zhu Yushi, who had a strong relationship with Zhu Yushou on the way here.
I saw him look anxious and panting:
"What happened, the two elders were beaten and injured. I'm going to call you to a meeting."
"There is such a thing? Let's go and have a look!"
Zhu Yushou stood up and followed Zhu Yusi to the meeting hall of Xuanbing Pavilion.
At the entrance of the conference hall, Zhu Yushi stopped consciously and looked at Zhu Yushou with some envy and walked into the conference hall.
When Zhu Yushou came in, six or seven people had gathered here, all of whom were the best in the caravan this time, and almost all of them had great perfect cultivation in the Tongqiao Realm.
When they saw Zhu Yushou coming in, their expressions were a little complicated, but they didn't say much.
In the eyes of everyone, although Zhu Yushou's cultivation is still a little worse, his light skills are outstanding, and with spiritual weapons in hand, he is enough to compete with them in terms of combat power alone.
What made them even more envious was that Zhu Yushou was only sixteen years old this year, and the youngest of them were in their early forties.
In terms of potential, both sides are not on the same level at all.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that before they knew it, Zhu Yushou had become an outstanding talent in the younger generation of the Zhu family.
If you break through the Marrow Cleansing Realm in the future, you may really become a new powerful elder and a new powerful force in the Zhu family.
Thinking of this, the few people who were slightly familiar with each other stood up and greeted each other with a smile.
Zhu Yushou gave the courtesy one by one, his expression and attitude were neither humble nor arrogant, even if he was not too humble, he would not be arrogant, so that people could not find fault.
The curtain of the back hall of the conference hall was lifted up, and the two elders Zhang Xiao and Chen Qun walked out.
But the two of them were in a bad condition. Elder Chen Qun's fiery red skin had faded, leaving only a piece of snow-white left.
Elder Zhang Xiao's eyes, which were originally full of divine light, looked particularly dim, as turbid and unsightly as a centenarian.
The people present were so keen that they immediately discovered that the two elders were not only listless, but also dispersed. The severe injuries were far beyond everyone's imagination.
"Two elders, who hurt you like this?"
A Zhu family, who was in his forties, came out from the crowd and said in anger.
Everyone recognized this person, named Zhu Qinglie, who was quite impatient.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to the two elders.
"Ahem cough cough..."
Elder Zhang Xiao did not stroke his beard gently this time, but instead stroked his chest and coughed for a while, before saying sadly:
"Old Chen and I were besieged and injured by eight men in black on our way back from drinking in Zuixianlou last night. They were covered in their faces. Old Chen and I didn't see their appearance, so it's hard to make a conclusion."
"What's wrong with defining?" Elder Chen Qun had a hot temper. He only heard him snorting coldly and said angrily:
"We were just injured yesterday, and the Duan family in Donglin County handed over documents to the City Lord's Mansion to seize our mines. There is no such a coincidence in the world."
"What? The Duan family wants to take away our mines?"
"It's so cool."
"Teaching them a lesson and avenge the two elders."
…………
As soon as Elder Chen Qun finished speaking, several anxious and angry people were already furious and wished they could kill to the Duan family now to avenge the two elders.
Zhu Yushou and others were calm, although they were full of righteous indignation, but they were more secretly anxious in their hearts.
Cold iron ore is a good material for casting soldiers. Although the imperial court does not prohibit private transactions, the control is quite strict.
The cold iron ore in Beihuang County has always been mined and then sold uniformly by the Lord's Mansion of Bimin City.
Moreover, it is not possible to buy it with money. There must be a mining indicia issued by the imperial court, and the transaction is strictly based on the share of the mining indicia.
The cold iron ore transactions have made great profits, and many forces want to make a move, but the imperial court issued only a few or more ore entries every year, with more monks and less porridge, and the city lord's mansion has given priority to some old relatives who have worked together for many years.
If there are new forces who want to get a hand in the cold iron ore transaction, it is not impossible.
It is only necessary to submit a document to the City Lord's Mansion and challenge one old force. The two sides send masters to show off their duels. If they win, they can take the other party's mine for themselves.
This kind of challenge has happened from time to time over the years, but I just don’t know which force will be challenged.
The Zhu family will send two elders from the Marrow Cleansing Realm to come here at once, one for protecting the safety of the caravan, and the other for dealing with this possible challenge.
But now the two elders are seriously injured and seem to be unable to deal with the challenge.
Looking at the excited crowd, Elder Zhang Xiao sighed slightly, waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said:
"My personal grudge with Mr. Chen is nothing, but the mine attractions of the cold iron ore are of great importance and must be saved. Mr. Chen and I are unable to take action in a short period of time. For the sake of the present, we can only choose one of you to deal with the challenges of the Duan family."
The people present looked at each other, but no one dared to speak rashly.
Although he was the only one who could severely damage the two elders of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, he must have masters of the Marrow Cleansing Realm level.
The strongest person present is just the Great Perfection of Tongji Realm. Challenging the powerful people in the Marrow Cleansing Realm beyond the level is also related to the major issues that the Han Iron Mine is attracted, and no one dares to ask for a fight rashly.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Elder Zhang Xiao sighed without saying much.
Elder Chen Qun couldn't help but say angrily: "You are all the best in this caravan. Isn't there anyone who has the courage to fight? Or should I give the mine to that family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Zhu Qinglie was the most impatient, his face turned red and he was about to come forward to ask for a fight.
But when he saw a slender figure flashing, Zhu Yushou had already stepped forward before him and said aloud to the two elders: "I am not talented and I am willing to represent the Zhu family in the Duan family."
Elder Chen Qun's eyes showed a look of praise, while Elder Zhang Xiao frowned slightly and hesitated:
"Of the eight black-clad men who besieged me and Mr. Chen that day, four of them were powerful men in the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Three of them were injured by the counterattack of Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen. But one of them was still intact. Although this person only had the strength to become the Marrow Cleansing Realm. But compared to you, he was still not a little stronger. Are you sure?"
Zhu Yushou pondered for a moment and said:
Chapter completed!
