Chapter 1491 Xu Liuyun
In the winter of this year, after the last snow fell, the sixth life of Meng Hao's clone on the fourth continent began with the falling of the last snow.
In this sixth life, he was born in a wealthy family named Xu. His family had a lot of land and was considered a big landlord in the surrounding area. His family also had many shops that made money, mainly selling grain.
The place where he lived was a big city in this secular country. Relying on the canal, he was extremely rich.
Babies born in such a family were destined to have no worries about food and clothing in this life unless there was a drastic turn.
Fortunately, Meng Hao's clone in this life was not as dandy as in the fourth life. Instead, he became the focus of everyone's attention when he was a teenager because of his intelligence and helped his father to manage the family's business.
As time passed, as Meng Hao's clone's sixth life gradually grew up, he almost took over all the family's businesses. While keeping everything in order, he also revealed the ruthless side of his character, which was not towards his clan members, but towards those business competitors.
He annexed the four directions and gradually annexed other grain merchants in the city one by one. In the process, bloody things were inevitable. All of these were unfolded one by one in the hands of the sixth generation.
His methods were different from those of his father, and his ideas were not consistent with those of the entire family. However, these were all trivial matters for him. With his own methods, when he was thirty years old, he had become a big family in this extremely wealthy city!
He began to consciously cultivate scholars in the family, and even opened schools, and spent a lot of money to support scholars, and secretly laid out the entire court.
He even laid out the warriors of the entire dynasty and secretly buried a big net.
He also married a wife, but he didn't take it to heart at all. It was just a marriage in business, for the whole family industry to take off better.
And he did it. When he was forty years old. He spread the family's industry all over the country, and opened up a variety of business ways to make money, but basically. He still focused on grain.
Even under his operation, the family moved to the imperial city, becoming a new noble and an imperial merchant.
Although the imperial merchant could not bring huge profits to the family in terms of actual benefits. He would even lose a lot, but the benefits brought by this identity were countless.
And this year, he was only 45 years old, and he had already reached the peak of his life. Many of his family members served as officials in the court, and some of the scholars with his qualifications many years ago also went to the court.
The whole family has already risen rapidly. If it were someone else, they might be satisfied and enjoy themselves at this time, but here, after a brief confusion, a storm was brewing in his heart.
This storm came from a famine that was slowly rolling up, which made him hesitate.
This winter, he stood in the yard of his home, watching the snowflakes fall silently. There were dozens of people silently accompanying him behind him. Some of these people were in the court, some were wealthy families in the imperial city, and some were direct descendants arranged by the family. There were also peak warriors.
In their hands, they control many forces outside the family, which are densely packed. If not spread throughout the entire dynasty, it is almost the same.
Any one of them is of high status. But here, they look at the middle-aged man in front of them, and each of them is in awe. It is this man who has been dancing with the wind and clouds for decades and rolling up a vortex.
Although his reputation is not great in the court, the emperor and the prime minister have different opinions on him, and even more of them do not take him seriously, but they know the ruthlessness of the middle-aged man in front of them and the layout he made many years ago, and... once this interest group explodes, the terrifying power it will exert.
"This opportunity." After a long time, the sixth life of Meng Hao's clone, the middle-aged man now, Xu Liuyun in everyone's mind, he slowly spoke.
"Maybe it can make my Xu family take a key step and control the overall situation of the dynasty from now on,
but it is also possible... to be exterminated." Xu Liuyun spoke softly, and after a while, his eyes flashed, revealing a ruthless intention.
"Execute!"
As he spoke, all the forces of the Xu family, both inside and outside the imperial city, started to move. What he wanted to do... was to enclose land in this famine!
Enclosure, this is a bloody word, two words with blood. If you want to enclose land, you have to raise the price of food in this famine, so high that people can't afford it, and can only sell everything that can be sold, even land.
Perhaps countless people will starve to death, perhaps countless families will be broken, but for the Xu family, and even the entire aristocratic class, this is an opportunity to make their family huge again.
And in order to take advantage of this benefit, the Xu family mobilized all the foundation of the past decades. Until a few months, after the famine was suppressed, among all kinds of means and preparations, as well as alliances with people and the secret killing of opponents, the Xu family... enclosed a large amount of bloody land, and became a behemoth in the entire dynasty that surprised countless people.
While enclosing private soldiers, in addition to land, a large amount of property was also given away in exchange for peace after this incident and the acceptance of the entire aristocratic group.
All the scheming and plotting involved made Xu Liuyun's hair turn grayer, but all the strategies were brewing in his mind.
Fifteen years passed in this peace, Xu Liuyun immersed himself in it. In these ten years, he was silent and quiet, dispelling the concerns of too many people, and developing the power of the family silently again.
This year, when he was sixty years old, he was still in that yard, still in the wind and snow, he stood there, silently looking at the snowflakes, behind him, there were hundreds of people standing there silently, and if the identities of these people were revealed, it would cause an earthquake in the entire dynasty.
"This opportunity..." The same words fifteen years ago came out hoarsely from Xu Liuyun's mouth. This time, he was silent for a longer time and finally nodded.
From the moment he nodded, he participated in the fight for the throne. 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 were his disciples, even the prime minister was the same, especially in the army, his words were more authoritative than the emperor's edict.
His power was no less than that of his second life, the difference was that his second life was in the light, while he was always in the dark, looking at the entire dynasty with his old eyes.
He was ruthless and childless in his life. He was already seventy years old at this moment, but no one dared to look up and talk to him, and they would subconsciously bow their heads.
Five more years passed, his body gradually declined, and he was even unconscious more often. The whole family was in turmoil, and those members of the family who thought they could compete were ready to move.
Until a year later, it was still winter, he woke up, and with the help of the old servant at home, he was still in the yard, watching the snowflakes falling, and he was silent for the third time in his life.
"After I die, the family will be in chaos. After this chaos... maybe there will be no Xu family in the dynasty." He understood that all this was because he had no descendants.
"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 there is chaos in the end, it is not only my Xu family that is in chaos, but also the entire dynasty, so there will still be a result in the end, and the Xu family, no matter who wins, can continue."
Xu Liuyun, the sixth life of Meng Hao's clone, was silent. This time he thought for longer than the previous two times. After a long time, he sighed and remembered the countless bloody lands when he made the first decision.
He did not choose to seize the dynasty. The whole person seemed to be older all of a sudden. When the last snow fell in this winter, he closed his eyes and his breath dissipated.
On the first day of his death, the Xu family was in turmoil. This turmoil shook the dynasty, and then the emperor suppressed it for several months, almost destroying the Xu family from top to bottom.
Finally, a letter was sent to the emperor. After reading the letter, the middle-aged emperor fell silent. The Xu family retained a part of the clansmen and returned to the city beside the canal and the ancestral home. The glory of the past hundred years disappeared like a mirror flower and water moon.
Meng Hao's sixth life, when he came... brought a peak explosion to the Xu family. When he left, it was like time went back and the Xu family returned to the beginning.
The sixth life ended. After condensing the sixth mark, Meng Hao's clone stepped into reincarnation and started his seventh life.
During this nearly hundred years, a woman named Yan'er walked on many continents and walked in the mortal world, looking for the breath of her master.
She firmly believed that she must, must, find the reincarnation of her master.
If the reincarnation body cannot be found once, then twice, three times... until it is found.
And Meng Hao's original body 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 about to bloom.
The headmaster of the Cangmang Sect and others also started another trip to the Underworld Palace. This time, they planned to step into the Ninth Continent. They were not sure, but they had to try. If they failed once, they would try twice. If they failed twice, they would try three times. They entered the Underworld Palace with persistence and hope.
At the same time, the Ninth Sect's external expansion was still spreading. The scope was so large that it was boundless. It absorbed too many powerful people and conquered one world after another.
It was also at this time that Meng Hao's seventh life was born on the Third Continent. (To be continued.)
