Chapter 1491 Xu Liuyun
In the winter of this year, after the last snow passed, the sixth life of Meng Hao's clone began on the Fourth Continent as the last snow fell.
In this sixth life, he was born into a wealthy family surnamed Xu. The family owned a lot of land and was considered a big landowner in the surrounding area. The family also had many shops that made money, mainly selling grain.
The place where I live is a big city in this mortal country. It relies on canals and is extremely wealthy.
Babies born in such a family are destined to have enough food and clothing as long as there is no drastic change in their lives.
Fortunately, Meng Hao's avatar in this life was not as playboy as in the fourth life. Instead, he became the center of attention when he was young due to his intelligence and wisdom, helping his father manage the family's business.
As time went by, as Meng Hao's sixth incarnation gradually came of age, he almost took over all the family's business. While keeping everything in order, he also revealed a ruthless side of his character. This side was not
Not to the tribesmen, but to those competitors in business.
Annexing the four directions, and gradually annexing other grain merchants in the city one by one, in the process, bloody things will inevitably occur, all of which unfolded one by one in the hands of this sixth generation.
His methods are different from those of his father, and his ideas are not consistent with those of the entire family. However, these are all trivial matters to him. With his own methods, when he was thirty years old, he was already in this city.
In this extraordinarily wealthy city, everyone has become a party!
He began to consciously cultivate scholars in his family, and even opened schools. He even spent a lot of money to support scholars and vaguely organized the entire court.
Even the warriors who organized the entire dynasty secretly laid a big net.
He also married a wife, but he didn't take it seriously at all. It was just a marriage in business, for the sake of a better development of the entire family industry.
And he did indeed do it. When he was forty years old, he spread the family's property all over the country and developed a variety of business avenues to make money. However, fundamentally speaking, he still focused on food.
Even under his operation, the family moved to the imperial city and became an upstart, as well as an imperial merchant.
Although in terms of actual benefits, the royal merchants were unable to bring huge profits to the family and even offered a lot of discounts, the benefits brought by this status were countless.
But this year, he was only forty-five years old, and he had already reached the peak of his life. Many members of his family were officials in the court, and some of the scholars he had qualified for many years ago had also entered the court.
The entire family has already made rapid progress. If it had been anyone else, they might have been satisfied and happy at this time, but here, after a brief period of confusion, a storm brewed in his heart.
This storm came from a famine that was slowly spreading now, which made him hesitate.
In the winter of this year, he stood in the yard of his home, silently watching the snowflakes falling. Behind him were dozens of people silently accompanying him. Some of these people were from the court, some were wealthy businessmen in the imperial city, and some were...
The direct lineage arranged by the family, and some of them are peak warriors.
In their hands, they control many external forces of the family, which are so densely packed that they are almost spread throughout the entire dynasty.
Any one of them has a high status. But here, they looked at the middle-aged man in front of them who was brooding, and each of them felt awe in their hearts. It was this man who, in decades, had stirred up the wind and created a whirlpool.
.
Although his reputation in the court was not great, whether the emperor or the prime minister had different views on him, or even ignored him, they knew that the middle-aged man in front of them was ruthless and had many years of experience.
The previous layout, and... once this interest group breaks out, it will exert terrifying power.
"This opportunity." After a long time, Meng Hao's sixth incarnation, now a middle-aged man, Xu Liuyun in everyone's hearts, spoke slowly.
"Perhaps we, the Xu family, can take a crucial step and influence the general trend of the entire dynasty from now on, but there is also a possibility... that the nine clans will be exterminated." Xu Liuyun spoke softly, and after a while, his eyes flashed, revealing a ruthless meaning.
"Execute it!"
As he opened his mouth, all the forces of the Xu family, both within the imperial city and outside the imperial city, were all activated. What he wanted to do... was to enclose the land in this famine!
Enclosure, this is a bloody word, two words sparkling with blood. If you want to enclosure, you have to raise the price of food in this famine, so high that people can't afford it, so you can only sell everything you can in the end.
The things sold are up to the land.
Perhaps countless people will starve to death, perhaps countless families will be broken up, but for the Xu family, and even the entire aristocratic class, this is an opportunity to make their family great again.
In order to seize this benefit, the Xu family mobilized all the secrets they had accumulated over the past decades. Until a few months after the famine was suppressed, among the various means and preparations, there were also alliances with others and secret generals.
Under the annihilation of the opponents, the Xu family... captured a large amount of bloody land and became a behemoth in the entire dynasty that surprised countless people.
While raising private soldiers, in addition to land, they also gave away a large amount of property, in exchange for peace after this incident, and in exchange for the acceptance of the entire aristocratic group.
The various strategies and calculations here made Xu Liuyun's hair more likely to turn gray, but all the strategies were brewing in his heart.
In this tranquility, another fifteen years passed, and Xu Liuyun immersed himself in it. During these ten years, he was quiet, dispelling the concerns of many people, and at the same time, the family's power was developed again silently.
This year, when he was sixty years old, he was still in that yard, when it was still windy and snowy, he stood there, silently looking at the snowflakes. Behind him, there were hundreds of people standing there silently. The identities of these people,
If exposed, it could shake the entire dynasty.
"This opportunity..." The same words fifteen years ago came out hoarsely from Xu Liuyun's mouth. This time, he remained silent for longer, and finally nodded.
From the moment he nodded, he participated in the matter of seizing the legitimate son. Ten years later, the young prince he supported finally became the emperor, married a woman from the Xu family, and even secretly recognized him as his adoptive father.
Almost all of the entire court are his disciples, even the prime minister. Especially in the army, his words are more authoritative than the emperor's imperial edict.
His power is no less than that of his second life. The difference is that in his second life, he was in the light, but he was always in the dark, looking at the entire dynasty coldly with his old eyes.
He has been ruthless and ungrateful all his life, and he has no heirs. He is already seventy years old, but where he is, no one dares to raise his head to talk to him, and they will all lower their heads subconsciously.
Five more years passed, and his body gradually declined, and he was even more often in a coma. The entire family was in turmoil, and those members of the clan who thought they could compete were already ready to take action.
Until a year later, it was still winter, and he woke up. With the support of his old servant at home, he was still in the yard, watching the snowflakes falling. He fell silent for the third time in his life.
"After my death, the family will be in chaos. After this chaos... maybe there will be no more Xu family in the dynasty." He understood that all this was because he had no heirs.
"The only way is... to seize this dynasty and use the power of the dynasty to replace the family turmoil. In this way, even if it is chaos in the end, it is not only my Xu family but also the entire dynasty that is in chaos, so in the end there can still be a
As a result, the Xu family, no matter who wins, can continue."
Xu Liuyun, the sixth incarnation of Meng Hao's clone, fell silent. This time he spent more time thinking than the previous two times. For a long time, he sighed softly, remembering the countless bloody lands when he made the first choice.
.
He did not choose to seize the dynasty, and his whole person seemed to become older all of a sudden. When the last snow fell this winter, he closed his eyes and his breath disappeared.
On the first day of his death, the Xu family was in turmoil, which shook the dynasty. Then the emperor suppressed it and lasted for several months, almost destroying the entire Xu family.
In the end, a letter was delivered to the emperor. Looking at the letter, the middle-aged emperor fell silent. The Xu family retained part of their clan members and returned to the city next to the canal and their ancestral home. For nearly a hundred years,
The glory of the years has dissipated like the moon in the mirror.
When Meng Hao's sixth life came... he brought the Xu family a peak explosion, but when he left, it was like going back in time, and the Xu family returned to the beginning.
The sixth life was over. After condensing the sixth mark, Meng Hao's clone entered reincarnation and began his seventh life.
In the past hundred years, a woman named Yan'er has been walking on many continents, walking among the common people, looking for the aura of her master.
She firmly believed that she would definitely, definitely, be able to find the reincarnation of her master.
If you can't find the reincarnation body once, then do it twice, three times... until you find it.
Meng Hao's true self was still sitting cross-legged on the leaves next to the huge flower in the vast starry sky, meditating silently, waiting for the flower to bloom.
This flower is already in bud and ready to bloom.
The leader of Cangmang Sect and others also started another trip to the Hades Palace. This time, they planned to step into the ninth level continent. They were not sure, but they had to try. If they failed once, they would try twice.
If you fail three times, you will enter the underworld with persistence and expectations.
At the same time, the pace of the Ninth Sect's external expansion is still spreading. Its scope is already boundless, absorbing too many strong men and conquering one world after another.
