Chapter 48 The Millennium Secret Order

In the forest one kilometer away from Fenglin City, there stands a small remote courtyard. It is not too big, but it is very quiet and elegant. The four guards at the handle outside the door are all masters above the Bone Forging Realm.

Zhuo Fan and Luo Yunshang brought Luo Yunhai and Commander Pang to this place under the leadership of the person who reported the news.

"Butler Zhuo, Miss Luo, please come inside!"

The man was very respectful, and after bringing the four to the door, he bent down and stepped aside to make way for the four to walk in front. When the guards in front of the door saw it, they frowned, their eyes were full of doubts, and they also flashed contempt.

We are royal guards anyway, who can't be short three points and kowtow?

I just asked you to invite the heads of a few local families. Your mother's waist is almost unable to straighten up. It's a goddamn disgrace to our buddies.

He understood how his companions thought of him, but the man pouted and didn't care at all.

How do you idiots understand the importance of these people?

That housekeeper Zhuo, but the master's friend, is even more favored by senior Fang Qiubai, the Jade Xiao Sword God. As long as he speaks, he can immediately become Fang Qiubai's disciple. At that time, even the emperor will have to give three points of courtesy, let alone us?

As for the other three, they are the masters and friends of Zhuo Butler. If we don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, can we be rude to others?

With a disdainful snort in his heart, the man still had a flattering smile on his face, leading Zhuo Fan and the others in.

Soon, everyone came to a garden.

Looking from a distance, I saw a pavilion in the garden, with a stone table in the pavilion. Fatty was sitting on the main seat in the middle, and Fang Qiubai, the sword god of jade flute, was sitting behind him.

Next to the fat man was the head of the Lei family, Lei Yuntian, and behind him stood Lei Yuting and Xiao Cui. Next was Cai Rong, the head of the Cai family, and behind him stood his son, Cai Xiaoting.

There are also two stools at the round table, which I think are for Zhuo Fan and Luo Yunshang.

"It seems that this is the meeting of the three heads of the family." Zhuo Fan touched his nose and couldn't help but take a step back, pushing the kid Luo Yunhai to the front.

"Brother Zhuo, you..."

Luo Yunhai looked at Zhuo Fan puzzled, but Zhuo Fan smiled and said, "Take out the demeanor of the owner in a while, don't let them underestimate."

Luo Yunhai was startled, and seemed to understand something, but Luo Yunshang turned his head and glanced at Zhuo Fan gratefully.

Obviously, this meeting was a negotiation between the royal family and the three householders. But after the past few months, everyone in Feng Lincheng probably knows that Zhuo Fan is the real person in charge of the Luo family.

Then the royal family may regard Zhuo Fan as the real master of the Luo family.

Zhuo Fan is doing this now, in fact, he doesn't want to overtake his place, and wants to correct the name of the Luo family. He wanted to tell everyone that the master of the Luo family was still named Luo.

"Four, please come in."

The leading guard saw the third prince, and could not help but salute Zhuo Fan and the others again, bending down to the 90-degree standard to show his respect for the master's friend.

But when Fatty saw it, he was slightly taken aback. When did the royal guard become so humble.

The Cai family and the Lei family were all stunned when they saw it.

When the guards saw their two families, they were full of arrogance and domineering, completely ignoring their two small families. But how do you treat the Luo family like a guest?

For a time, both of them were muttering in their hearts, even a little sour. It is also a noble family from Fenglincheng, so the treatment is too poor.

Only Fang Qiubai smiled and didn't say a word. He had already guessed in his heart that Zhuo Fan must have been pretending to be a fox and frightened the guards sent here. But at the same time, he looked at Zhuo Fan one more point.

Under the attentive greeting of the man, Zhuo Fan and four came to the pavilion. When Luo Yunshang saw the fat man, he bowed and said, "People's daughter Luo Yunshang, see His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Early on the road, the man had already told Luo Yunshang the identity of his master. The others, led by Luo Yunshang, also paid homage. Only Zhuo Fan shrugged and said nothing.

But the fat man didn't care, he waved his hand and said, "Please sit down."

At this time, Luo Yunshang took his younger brother and sat on two stools, while Zhuo Fan and Commander Pang stood behind them.

The fat man took a deep look at Zhuo Fan and nodded secretly. Don't be arrogant, you are a loyal minister!

Fang Qiubai also smiled and nodded, with a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Zhuo Fan's actions can be regarded as winning the hearts of the two. Wu Neng protects the master's safety, and Wen Neng protects the master's face. From the perspective of the royal family, he is really a valuable subject.

All the three patriarchs were here, and Fatty took a deep breath and said, "Today, the prince invited the three patriarchs to come, in fact, he was ordered by the emperor to uncover the thousand-year-old karma of the three families."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Fatty without realizing it.

"Presumably, when the three patriarchs took over as patriarchs, they would all get an ancestral motto at the same time, that is, none of the three of you can be enemies with the other two. Moreover, you have to help each other and support each other."

Fatty slowly stood up and said faintly, "Furthermore, the three forces will never leave Fenglincheng until the bright pearl shines."

Looking at each other, Cai Rong and Lei Yuntian looked at Fatty in unison, their faces full of surprise. Luo Yunshang also had doubts in her eyes after getting Luo Yunhai's nod to confirm.

"Hehehe...Actually, all of this is an agreement between the founding of the royal family and the three patriarchs a thousand years ago. It is called the Secret Order of the Pearl." Fatty laughed lightly, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "The Luo family, the Cai family, The Lei family, like the Royal Family of the Seventh Family, are both

Is the founding hero. "

"what?"

Like a heavy bomb dropped, everyone in the three families couldn't help but look at Fatty's smiling face in disbelief. How could they never have imagined that they should have been able to stand at the peak of the empire like the Seventh Family, but why would they be reduced to the point where they could only be a small family in Fenglincheng?

Facing everyone's questions, Fatty's face showed a trace of shame: "Sorry, this is what our Yuwen family owes you."

Sighing, Fatty said lightly: "At the beginning, the Tianyu Empire had just been established, the foundation was unstable, and the people were turbulent. Therefore, the founding emperor Taizu distributed the seven heroes of the founding of the country to the people to govern themselves, calm the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and give them to them. Sufficient self-care rights, even on par with the royal family, this is the Royal Family of the Seventh Family."

"But who ever thought that twenty years later, the seven families became more and more powerful, and the competition for interests finally caused the seven families to fight. At that time, the royal family was already unable to control it, so they had to take a wave and fight a wave. Weakened their strength. In the end, the seven families also realized that no one would benefit from this, and finally stopped the war. But that war made life devastated, the national strength was greatly weakened, and there was even a danger of subjugation from time to time. "

"But, what does that have to do with the three of us?" Zhuo Fan asked with a frown.

Taking a deep breath, the fat man looked around at the three families present, and bowed deeply: "Everyone, let's be honest, the three families are actually the founding fathers of the country and the elders of the court. If they were still in the courtroom, I'm afraid they would be as famous as Sizhu!"

Four pillars?

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The Four Pillars are the national pillars of the Tianyu Empire. They hold the lifeline of the country's military, economy, politics, diplomacy, etc., and are the only court power that can compete with the Seventh Family.

There are even rumors that the true strength of the four pillars is actually more powerful, which makes the royal family feel afraid.

The Royal Family, the Four Pillars, and the Seventh Family constituted the strongest combat power in the entire empire, but they were also balanced against each other. If one party loses balance, the Tianyu Empire will collapse immediately.

They never imagined that their ancestors were so great that it was possible for them to become the four pillars of the empire.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Fatty laughed and continued: "At the beginning, Emperor Taizu made a secret order with your ancestors to prevent the revolt of the seven families from breaking out again. The ancestors of the three families were demoted to Fenglincheng by the emperor under various excuses. , become an ordinary family, in fact, the royal family will build the three families into a big family like the seventh family at any time. When the seven families fight again, it can be used to balance each other's strength, and it can also reduce the occurrence of life-threatening."

"However, even if the eighth family appears, it can't stop the seven." Luo Yunshang was a little puzzled and puzzled.

Before the fat man said anything, Zhuo Fan smiled and said: "Miss, the appearance of the eighth family is not to prevent, but to balance the fighting power of all parties. Generally, wars are fought only when one party has an absolute advantage. A war like injuring a thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred will generally not happen unless there is a mortal hatred. So sometimes, when two powerful forces clash, it is easier to resolve them, after all, no one wants to lose both.”

Luo Yunshang nodded and seemed to understand, while the fat man looked at Zhuo Fan approvingly and said, "Butler Zhuo is indeed a genius, no wonder the Luo family will be revitalized in your hands."

When Cai Rong heard this, he couldn't help but pouted and regretted in his heart.

If he hadn't offended this Zhuo Fan at the beginning, he might still be able to pull him over now. This kid is indeed a rare talent in a thousand years.

"Three princes, we already know the fate of the three families. Now I just want to know one thing, how can you let us grow into the eighth family safely." His eyes narrowed slightly, Zhuo Fan stared at Fatty's eyes, and said lightly .

His brows trembled involuntarily, and the fat man let out a long sigh and nodded in admiration: "As expected of Butler Zhuo, as soon as he asked, he got the idea."

"Of course, if you want a family to rise, it is not difficult to rely on the power of the royal family, but the difficulty is how to rise without being discovered!" Zhuo Fan smiled lightly, Luo Yunshang and the others did not know why, Zhuo Fan continued, "Could it be? Seventh family, will they watch us step by step to be on an equal footing with them?"

The pupils shrank slightly, Cai Rong and Lei Yuntian looked at each other, and a fine cold sweat instantly oozes out of their heads.

They just cared about being happy. Their ancestors were important officials in the court, and their family was about to embark on the road of an aristocratic family with the help of the royal family. But when I heard Zhuo Fan's words, I really woke up the dreamer.

Seventh family, how could it be possible to watch them become stronger and even surpass them? Then there is only one way, before they are strong, destroy them.

Thinking of this, Cai Rong and Lei Yuntian gave Zhuo Fan a grateful glance. If he hadn't reminded him, I'm afraid he would have been sold by the royal family this time and counted the money for them.

What the royal family wants is the balance of power in the Seventh Family, but they just want to live well.

At the same time, Cai Rong also had to admire Zhuo Fan's meticulous thinking, which is very well known...
