Chapter 3 Routine Countermeasures
…
"That's enough." Gongsun Hui scolded and stopped him in a sweet voice, and then said, "Uncle Six, please don't be impulsive. We will deal with everything calmly."
Gongsun Hui is the legitimate daughter of the Gongsun clan of Shanyang, the first wife of the late Wang clan leader, and the legitimate mother of the new generation patriarch of the Wang clan. It is enough to handle and mediate this matter in this capacity.
Wang Dinghai said in an excited tone: "Fifth sister-in-law, it's not that I, the sixth one, are impulsive, but that the boy from the Liu family has gone too far. Everyone in Ping'an Town knows that this Anjiang River is thirty miles from the right of Dingpu Ferry to the rocky beach. It is the water area of the Ping An Wang family. But that boy Liu Yongzhou has crossed the line to fish several times, and this time he openly crossed the line for ten miles. If I don't take action to expel him, will there be room for my Wang family to establish in Anjiang?"
"Hey, Wang Laoliu, don't let the bad guys complain first." Liu Yongzhou looked like he had been greatly wronged. "The winds and rivers in Anjiang are strong and the waters of my Liu family are in the upper reaches of Anjiang. It is inevitable that there will be unrest. When we were living on the boat. But as soon as you came up, you hit us with a fishing boat. After the conflict, you suffered a little loss and even called the parents. This is really unreasonable. Are you bullying me, who has no patriarch in the Liu family? "
Wang Shouzhe had been silent and secretly observing and speculating. He had determined that this dispute was initiated by the Liu family. The purpose was probably to test him out when the new leader of the clan came to power. He might also have some concerns about him as the new leader. The idea of ability.
If he, the patriarch, is not capable enough and is timid. The next step is probably to join forces with the Zhao family, and a series of conspiracies and schemes will come flooding in.
"Ahem!"
Wang Shouzhe coughed twice and walked forward calmly.
"Nephew Shouzhe, are you here too?" Wang Dinghai looked happy, and then said angrily, "Quickly give your sixth uncle a review. This guy secretly used deception to attack. Your sixth uncle is not convinced and wants to have a fair fight with him again." Contest.”
"It turns out it's the Wang clan, no, it should be the clan leader who has arrived." Liu Yongzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a little fear and jealousy towards Wang Shouzhe.
There is no doubt that Wang Shouzhe far exceeds Liu Yongzhou in terms of comprehensive strength in all aspects. Moreover, Wang Shouzhe was only eighteen years old and had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm. He had great potential for growth in the future.
Now the Liu family is also very afraid of Wang Shouzhe. If he is given the opportunity to rush to the Lingtai realm, the pattern of Ping'an Town will change dramatically.
Some of the surrounding onlookers also began to talk in low voices. They seemed to be quite interested in the young patriarch of the Ping An Wang family who had just succeeded. They vaguely pointed out in their words that Wang Dingyue, the ancestor of the Wang family, died too early. If he could survive for another ten years, , after Wang Shouzhe, the young patriarch, has fully grown up, the situation of the Ping An Wang family will be different.
"Uncle Six, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers." Wang Shouzhe narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice and casually tried, "But, Uncle Six, are you really sure you can defeat him? If we lose again in front of everyone, it will damage the prestige of our Wang family. ah."
"This..." Wang Dinghai hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I have had several conflicts with the boy named Liu. We are usually evenly matched and have each other's advantages. I don't know why today, the boy's water escape It seems that his technique has improved a lot, he is as slippery as a loach in the water, and he was caught off guard and suffered a loss. But don’t worry, nephew, your uncle Liu will win this battle even if he fights for his life."
The art of water escape has improved a lot?
Haha, this is interesting. Wang Shouzhe touched his nose and generally understood the opponent's tactics. Create conflicts and arouse Wang Dinghai's dissatisfaction, and then let Liu Yongzhou, a rising star, defeat Wang Dinghai in full view of the public, damaging the Wang family's prestige.
It would be perfect if the emotions could be further intensified and the two parties could sign a bet or something. By then, he will be able to bite off a large piece of meat from Wang's body.
Wang Shouzhe made a clear judgment on the scene and immediately said: "Uncle Six, leave this matter to me."
"This..." Wang Dinghai hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Wang Shouzhe's calm look, he calmed down and took two steps back, "Shouzhe, you have to be more careful, Liu is the best at playing tricks. trick."
"Don't worry, Uncle Six, you won't suffer a loss." Wang Shouzhe said soothingly, looked around the scene for a week, and said loudly in front of everyone: "The Xuanwu family has always been founded on martial arts. The so-called ancestral territory, if the descendants are unable to protect it, it is natural for them to retreat to a corner. .Liu Yongzhou, since your Liu family wants to encroach on and annex my Wang family's fishing and hunting area, it is just a trivial matter to create conflicts. Why don't we be more cheerful? Between our two peers, why not imitate our ancestors and have a life-or-death arena battle, who wins? How about whoever owns the other party’s fishing ground?”
"What?"
There were screams of exclamation all around, the arena of life and death! ? Does the young patriarch of the Wang family want to be so radical?
Wang Shouzhe was five years younger than Liu Yongzhou, but launching a life-and-death battle in front of him made Liu Yongzhou's face turn green and white. He didn't dare to take it, and he couldn't take it. He could only say: "The head of the Wang family You are joking, you are the leader of the clan, how can you get down in the ring and fight to the death?"
From this point of view alone, although Liu Yongzhou is not bad among his peers, he is still far behind Wang Shouzhe, who has been trained as a young patriarch.
"Haha~" Wang Shouzhe sneered and ridiculed, "If you don't have courage, you have no courage. Why say it so high-sounding. I, Wang Shouzhe, am standing here today. As long as you are a descendant of the Liu family, I, Wang Shouzhe, will accept as many as you come."
"Okay! Well said. The new leader of the Wang family is quite heroic."
"The Xuanwu family built a family with martial arts, which is a bit interesting. Let's see how the Liu family takes over. As far as I know, the oldest Liu family is over thirty-six or seventeen years old, and the youngest is still babbling. After thinking about it, I really can’t think of anyone who can compete with the new leader of the Wang clan.”
"Brother, how strong is this young man? Can he really defeat all the Yongzi people of the Liu family?"
"Are you a foreigner? That is Wang Shouzhe, the new leader of our Ping'an Wang clan. He has almost reached the advanced level of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen. Moreover, it is said that he is extremely talented in swordsmanship and has already reached the level of proficiency in swordsmanship. ." The local introduced with a bit of pride, "And Wang Shouzhe has passed the admissions examination of Zifu Academy and will be enrolling in the school soon. It's a pity that such a big thing happened to the Wang family and he had to give up his studies."
"Zi Mansion Academy, the Zi Mansion Academy that claims that once you enter the Zi Mansion, you will become a spiritual master? It's amazing, but it's a pity!"
The surrounding discussions reached Wang Shouzhe's ears, which reminded him that he had actually passed the preliminary selection for Zifu Academy not long ago.
The Zifu Academy in Longzuo County recruits new students every three years, but their requirements are extremely strict. Each time there are one to three people in Changning who pass the preliminary selection and are eligible to participate in the re-examination, and this Wang Shouzhe was among them.
But it is an exaggeration to say that he is about to enter school. The entire Changning Wei jurisdiction may not be able to produce a Zifu student in ten or eight years. Wang Shouzhe considers himself extraordinary, but he also knows that the probability of passing the re-examination is less than 30%.
The surrounding wind and public opinion began to tilt in favor of the Wang family.
The previous conflict, if handled improperly, would have damaged the Wang family's reputation. But now, it has only boosted Wang's prestige.
"My eldest nephew did a great job." Wang Dinghai said with joy on his face, "Look at the Liu family's brat, do you still dare to be arrogant?"
Gongsun Hui's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance towards Wang Shouzhe. Unexpectedly, with a few words, he could turn a bad thing that was detrimental to the family's prestige into an unfavorable situation for the Liu family's prestige.
Before that, her legitimate son had always focused on his own cultivation and cared very little about other things. Unexpectedly, he showed his ability when he first became the clan leader.
"good!"
Suddenly, a cheer sounded, "The words of the head of the Wang family are really inspiring and admirable to Liu. The Xuanwu family built their family with martial arts. If you can't keep your ancestral heritage, why not retreat to a corner? Okay, well said!"
As he spoke, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe with an extraordinary bearing walked out, surrounded by several brave generals, staring at Wang Shouzhe with a half-smiling expression.
As soon as this person appeared, Gongsun Hui and Wang Dinghai both changed their expressions: "It's actually Liu Shengye!"
Especially Gongsun Hui, who directly reminded Wang Shouzhe with an embarrassed expression: "Zhe'er, there must be something fishy when the head of the Liu family appears at this time. You must deal with it carefully."
Liu Shengye.
Wang Shouzhe narrowed his eyes slightly. He was the current clan leader of the Ping An Liu family. I heard that his personal martial arts was not the strongest in the Liu family. He was forty years old and had not yet broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
But in Wang Shouzhe's memory, this man has always been famous for his calculations and cunning, and he is a famous smiling tiger. He repeatedly took advantage in the confrontations with Wang Dingyue, the former leader of the Wang family, and was very good at managing the family property, which made the Liu family prosperous.
"It turns out that the head of the Liu family is here." Wang Shouzhe responded calmly, "Since the head of the Liu family agrees with what I say, do you agree with me and Liu Yongzhou's life and death arena?" Without saying a word, he first set a trap for Liu Shengye.
"There is no such thing. Although the words of the head of the Wang family are reasonable, as the leader of the clan, how can you bully the small with the big?" Liu Shengye beat the snake and followed the stick and said, "Since it is a life and death arena, naturally you have to be of similar status to be valuable. .”
His intention was naturally to draw the battle back to Liu Yongzhou and Wang Dinghai.
"What the Liu family leader said is very reasonable." Wang Shouzhe nodded in agreement with a serious expression, "You and I, the Wang family and the Liu family, have a lot of friction and grievances on weekdays. Since we have to fight for life and death, why don't you and I, the two clan heads, go into battle in person? It can be considered as having equal status.”
"What?"
Liu Shengye's face twitched. The clan leader personally entered the arena of life and death? Is this kid Wang Shouzhe crazy? First he bit Liu Yongzhou, and now he bit him directly, Liu Shengye! This is about catching someone and biting someone. Is that what I meant?
The surrounding merchant travelers and other people at the ferry fell into silent shock. This was going to be a life-and-death battle between two family heads. Do you want to be so impulsive?
