Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Almost at the same time that Meng Zhao and Shi Jie were talking, within the Meng Mansion, Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao were also having a secret conversation in the study.

Meng Jizu was holding a piece of letter in his hand at this time, his strong and strong face was full of solemnity, and he said worriedly,

"The old ghost of the Sun family wants to add a witness to the martial arts competition, and that is Shen Tianci who caused quite a fight on the West Market Street today.

Third brother, what do you think the old man from the Sun family has planned? "

The duel between the two families was decided before Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao went out, and there were many witnesses.

Most of them are prominent local figures.

But the most important ones, the ones that are valued by the two families, are Cui Tan, the governor of Nan'an County; Hu Wanwan, the president of thirteen local chambers of commerce and a big businessman; the former imperial censor, Now that he has retired and returned to his hometown, Xi Siyuan is still regarded as a loyal minister by Emperor Beitang Sheng.

Cui Tan, the governor of the county, represents the imperial court and will not be looked down upon. Hu Wanwan looks like a businessman who smells like copper. He is not among the rich and powerful, but his wealth is quite terrifying at his level. Moreover, this He is a good dancer, has friends all over the world, and has a great influence, which cannot be ignored.

Finally, there is Xi Siyuan who retires and returns to his hometown.

This person was born in a filial and honest family, and came from a county magistrate's family. He had been in the court for many years, and his official style and reputation were good.

He started as a local county magistrate and was promoted with outstanding achievements. Later, because of his profound knowledge and integrity, he was transferred to work in the Yushitai.

Even though Xi Siyuan has now retired and returned to his hometown, he still has considerable influence among the gossips in the court.

With these three major figures as witnesses, the duel will appear fair and just, and there will be no need to worry about regrets afterwards.

But now we need to add another Shen Tianci. Although he has understood the innate magic, his strength is second to none, and he comes from the Shen family in Jinling and has a strong background, his age is a flaw. As a witness, he is a bit too childish.

"Brother, what I'm worried about now is why Shen Tianci didn't stay in Jinling and came to Nan'an in Jizhou instead?

He also happened to comply with the request of the old man from the Sun family and get involved in the martial arts competition.

If this is his personal idea, that's all. If the Jinling Shen family makes any moves, we must not be careless.

It would be best to send a letter to the Kong family and also send a message to Paektu Mountain to avoid being caught off guard. "

The Confucius family and the Meng family have long had a close relationship, and now they are even more in-laws. They are on good terms with each other, and the Meng family is like the younger brother of the Confucius family.

Baitoushan is one of the thirteen families. It is a large sect, and its power is also far higher than that of the Meng family. Because of Anhui's relationship, the two families have been advancing and retreating together for many years, and they are grasshoppers on the same line.

With the Kong family and Baektusan behind them, Nan'an Mengjie launched round after round of attacks on the Sun family. It can be said that he is in an invincible position, but if the Shen family is added to the mix, it will be completely different.

Obviously, what Meng Hongdao said was exactly what Meng Jizu was worried about. If the Shen family really intended to help the Sun family, their pressure would increase exponentially, and the situation they would face would become even more dangerous. What they had done before Some preparations and expectations may also need to be repositioned.

"Don't panic. If the Shen family is really serious, it is impossible for Shen Tianci to come to Jizhou alone. There must be people accompanying him, but according to what our people said, Shen Tianci did come alone.

Therefore, I estimate that the other party was just motivated by the Sun family on a whim. Even if the Shen family has a great business, they will not provoke our Meng family for no reason. "

Meng Hongdao nodded, feeling that what his eldest brother said was reasonable.

"In this way, the possibility of the Sun family's bluff is greater. We don't need to look forward and backward."

In the Duel Arena, when there are many witnesses, what matters most is the strength of the warriors in the arena.

In this regard, the Nan'an Meng family is confident enough to crush the Sun family. After all, Nan'an Bo is known as the master of martial arts. He can be said to be from a martial arts family, and his name as the Red Flag Order is well known to the world.

On the contrary, the Sun family's martial arts were weak, and they mostly hired strong outsiders to act as support. When direct blood descendants were required to participate in the war, the opponent had little chance of winning.

The reason why the duel with a less than 10% chance of winning was not because of the Sun family's will, but because of the pressure exerted by the Meng family, which the other party couldn't bear and had to do so as a last resort.

Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao were full of confidence in their children. After all, they had trained them with their own hands. Except for the peerless geniuses and rare freaks like Shen Tianci, they were not necessarily inferior to others.

The two of them chatted about the martial arts competition for half an hour before they stopped talking.

In fact, most of it is as discussed before. What we are talking about now is more about the changes brought about by Shen Tianci.

After saying this, Meng Hongdao looked at his eldest brother's tired eyes and face, and hesitated and said,

"Brother, do you have any plans for Zhao'er to do anything during the time he is home?

This child is not young anymore. He should have his own career. He can't live his whole life as a bodyguard, right? "

Wealthy families like theirs, in addition to family business, usually also hold posts in the imperial court.

For example, Nan'an Bo Meng Jizu, in addition to this title, also had the official position of General Jianwu, from the third rank, in charge of the 70,000-strong army of the Northern Third Battalion of Jizhou. Of course, this was only in name.

Meng Jizu could really exert influence and mobilized only 40,000 troops. Only the state government had the right to mobilize the remaining 30,000.

Besides, Meng Hongdao also held the position of meritorious officer in the state capital. He had no real power, but his reputation was here, and to the outside world, he was an official.

Meng Xi and Meng Wen have no time to pay attention to these things now because they are the heads of the family. In the future, Meng Chuan will probably follow the military route and succeed Meng Jizu in taking charge of the North Third Battalion.

As for Meng Hongdao's eldest son, Meng Yan, that guy had a loose and romantic nature and had no ambitions. He had been abandoned by the family long ago.

If he can live in peace, without disasters, add a few more heirs to the family, and spread the branches and leaves, he will be considered to have achieved merit.

As for Meng Zhao, his situation is much more special.

In terms of his starting point in the imperial court, Meng Zhao was one of the best in the family. No one could compare with him, but precisely because of this, he seemed a little embarrassed.

He can't sit in a higher position. He makes small fuss and can't make mistakes. He is the kind of person who can't advance or retreat.

Meng Hongdao raised these points because he wanted Meng Jizu to give Meng Zhao some help. In the state capital, at worst, he would have to find an open job in the county government. In the future, he might have the opportunity to enter the central government. After all, the Tiangang Guards are equal to the emperor. Disciple, he still has an advantage in this aspect.

Meng Jizu sighed and shook his head,

"This kid has the same temperament as his father, he is very stubborn and insists on making great achievements in martial arts.

As for such mundane things, he doesn't really want to get involved. If he can develop and prosper the industries of the second house, he will probably be satisfied.

I think this is good. Now the situation has changed and the limelight is a bit wrong. Let’s stop for a while.

Not only Zhao'er, but also Chuan'er. It's not too late to exercise until the wind becomes clearer.

On the contrary, if they can achieve something in martial arts, it will be of great benefit to our family without any harm.

In this world, no matter how peaceful it is, the one with the big fist always has the final say. We must prepare early. "

Hearing this, Meng Hongdao nodded and suppressed the worries in his heart.

It took so long for Dayong to establish the country, but because Beitang Gong relied too much on external forces to get the country, and he had the idea of ​​​​ruling the world with other monarchs, he dispersed the power, and now he can't lose it.

Beitang Sheng was another ambitious emperor. Since he came to power, he had done countless tricks, both overtly and covertly, in an attempt to weaken the power of the aristocratic families and the sect's holy land.

With his actions, how could the world be stable?

Therefore, what Meng Jizu said is not bad.
