Chapter 309 Mengjia Fortress(1/2)
The gate of Mengjiabao Village is open all day long, and there are many houses outside the village, with many houses scattered from far and near. There is a small market in the fortress, where people often come in and out.
Ran Xiao is very beautiful, Tian Gong is a beautiful bald man. The two of them stopped at the gate of the village and attracted many people's attention. Suddenly, they heard the name of the woman...
The name Ran Xiao is very useful.
A few people ran out quickly in the village and bowed to him: "Meng Yuanyang, a family of the Meng family, has seen his aunt."
Ran Xiao glanced at them: "Let Meng Qingchen come out."
Meng Yuanyang's expression was a bit ugly. Meng Qingchen was the head of this generation of family.
The Meng family has been passed down for thousands of years, and each house has a large population. The so-called three tribes are far away from the Meng family's head clan and are the side branches among the side branches.
With Meng Yuanyang's identity and strength, how could he have a relationship with the head of the family?
He hesitated and replied in a low voice: "My aunt is here in person, and the patriarch will definitely come to the village gate to greet her. Please wait for a moment."
Ran Xiao looked at Tian Gong, and Tian Gong smiled and said, "Then wait a moment."
There is a tea stall next to the road, two wooden tables and several stools, but there are no guests.
Tian Gong and Ran Xiao went over and sat down: "Come two bowls of tea."
The Meng family was very big, and it was only when Tian Gong finished drinking a bowl of tea that Meng Qingchen appeared at the entrance of the fortress.
At least dozens of people followed him, and came to Ran Xiao and laughed and said, "Welcome to Sister Ran Xiao home."
Ran Xiao pulled a stool over and said, "Sit."
Meng Qingchen looked at Tian Gong and sat steadily beside Ran Xiao: "What's the best place to sit here? Go home?"
Ran Xiao shook his head: "I'll just have one thing, my surname is Ran."
Meng Qingchen's face darkened.
Ran Xiao looked at the bowl of tea on the table: "I don't know which idiot wants to plot against the Ran family. If you don't want to start a war with me, it's better to avoid any thoughts you shouldn't have as soon as possible."
"What did you say?" Meng Qingchen's voice became cold.
His name is Ran Xiao, and he is a girl. Even if he is of a seniority and a young age, he is always 156 years old.
He has a high level of cultivation and looks like a man in his thirties. At this time, he looked down and had a very majestic look.
Ran Xiao stood up: "I'm worried that you will misunderstand something, so I came to tell you and left."
Tian Gong then stood up and put down a silver ingot.
Meng Qingchen also stood up: "Ran Xiao, I know you are the leader of Buzhou Mountain and have great talent for cultivation. But the world is so big and there are so many masters, but not only one Buzhou Mountain; what's more, you can only become a disciple of Buzhou Mountain by getting recommended by Meng's family, and you cannot forget your roots in life."
Ran Xiao hesitated: "I'll introduce it. This is my husband, and his name is Tian Gong."
What? Meng Qingchen stared at Tian Gong.
Ran Xiao no longer wanted to pay attention to him and spoke to Tian Gong: "Let's go." Seeing Tian Gong stretching out his right hand, Ran Xiao whispered: "I want to go."
Tian Gong naturally agreed and the two walked forward.
Meng Qingchen did not send him off or speak, watching Ran Xiao and Tian Gong slowly walk away.
A middle-aged scholar next to him asked in a low voice: "He is really Tian Gong? Didn't he say he has been dead for sixty or seventy years?"
Meng Qingchen whispered: "Check it out."
No need to check, the day after Meng Qingchen issued the order, the men sent by the Meng family had just arrived in Qidi, and news had already come from the Ran family that it was said that Sister Tian Gong had returned.
Fundamentally speaking, with the strength of the Meng family, they will never be afraid of a certain master.
The family has been passed down for thousands of years, but I have never seen any kind of storm? Tian Gong can only fight alone, including Ran Xiao... plus Buzhou Mountain, there are only about one hundred people. Meng Qingchen is confident of dealing with these hundred people.
The question now is whether to do this or not, and whether it is worth it.
Someone in the Meng family is making the Ran family, and they have been making the decisions. Meng Qingchen knows.
As the head of the Meng family, there are many things to consider. Until now, a Meng family fortress cannot accommodate so many people, and it will be divided every few hundred years. Many branches, side branches, and even children of other surnames are scattered in all directions like seeds.
The Meng family is too big, and there are too many people with various demands. Since the Ran family is not in charge, we will take over the Ran family. The rich water will not flow to the outsiders' fields, and the Meng family can also have a full meal.
Before this incident happened, the Meng Family Elderly Hall held a meeting to discuss whether this matter was feasible.
The Meng family’s Elderly Hall and the Ran family’s Elderly Hall are different. Not to mention how many people are qualified to enter the Elderly Hall, there are more than 160 people in the Elderly Hall alone.
These people are old and seem to be unbearable to use? In fact, these talents are the foundation of the Meng family. Every elder represents a force. Such a powerful group of forces can be brought together to subvert a certain vassal state at will.
After discussion, the Elder Hall's opinion was to test first. If the Ran family really had no power and no masters, they would take it down in one fell swoop.
For many people, temptation is actually to agree to swallow the Ran family.
The Meng family began to take action and used various methods to reduce the strength of the Ran family, such as killing Ran Yu and Ran Babao and other powerful generals in the army; and also killing the new head of the Ran family...
The Meng family considered that Ran Xiao would react, but Ran Xiao was the head of Buzhou Mountain, so the things he considered were naturally Buzhou Mountain. And in recent years, he has been practicing in seclusion...
Unexpectedly, Ran Xiao would come out of seclusion and come to him directly.
There is a stone house in the Meng family, and there are many people gathering outside the house. A young man is guarding the door.
I don’t know how long these people have been here, but they keep looking at the door.
Finally, with a creaking sound, the door opened, and Meng Qingchen stepped out.
"Head of the family." Huh, all of these people surrounded him.
Meng Qingchen stopped moving and looked at them expressionlessly.
"Honor, we have discussed it."
Meng Qingchen nodded: "What do you say?"
"The arrow is not turned back." A strong man stepped forward and said: "Something happened in the Ran family. The new head of the family practiced martial arts and died of devils. The mistress was poisoned. Not to mention anything else, just these two things, the Ran family will definitely blame us. Instead of being blamed or being found at the door, we might as well take the initiative."
Meng Qingchen laughed: "Can you wait and see?"
"Can't wait." The big man continued to speak: "Tian Gong created the Red Devil Dead Warrior with one hand, and most of the main forces are the children of the Ran family. Now... the captain of the Red Devil Dead Warrior is Meng Hongyuan, and the people of the Ran family were all killed and injured..."
Meng Qingchen thought for a while: "Is this your choice?"
"Um."
Meng Qingchen laughed: "Brother Sixteenth, you know."
The man looked over the question.
"The Meng family is too big to make mistakes."
"yes."
"So, I will not agree, nor will I make any decision." Meng Qingchen looked at everyone in front of the door: "But, if you split up, no matter what you want to do, I have no right to interfere."
The big man was stunned, and many people were surprised.
Meng Qingchen walked out: "You can think about it again."
Suddenly an old man came out: "Don't think about it, I'll split up."
The Ran family is very rich now. Any family can last for thirty years and be stable for thirty years. The accumulated wealth is enough to scare people.
Comparing with Too Tian Fugui, staying in the Meng family to consider every income, even scrambling to snatch the elixirs in cultivation, why not fight for it?
What's more, this kind of fighting is not necessarily a desperate effort. As long as Tian Gong is done... If Ran Xiao is obsessed with it, he will do it together. There are some ways to do it. Then, isn't the entire Ran family the food that everyone calls them?
Meng Qingchen thought for a moment: "Come to the ancestral hall tomorrow."
Going to the ancestral hall means announcing the decision to split the family and changing the family tree.
The old man said yes.
Meng Qingchen left the courtyard.
At this time, the Ran family was on the first floor of Ran Xiao Embroidery Building, and Tian Gong sat at the door and looked out.
There was an iron golem outside the door. Ran Xiao surrounded him and looked at him again and again: "This thing is amazing?"
"Make it." Tian Gong said: "I originally wanted to take you to the Heaven Realm, but the Ran family is like this now..."
Ran Xiao nodded and walked over to Tian Gong to sit down: "Your name was not angry yesterday, are you?"
"Are you stupid? Why are you angry? I am yours. Isn't it very appropriate to report my name?"
Why did Ran Xiao take the initiative to tell Meng Qingchen that Tian Gong is back? After all, he still doesn’t want to have a conflict with the Meng family, nor does he want to fight. If the Meng family can’t be scared by just Ran Xiao and Buzhou Mountain’s reputation, Tian Gong will be added.
There are many legendary figures in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the past five hundred years, no one has been as legendary as Tian Gong. Not to mention anything else, just saying that he can live so much, and still looks youthful after living for so long, which means that his cultivation must be extraordinary!
No matter what, Ran Xiao has relatives with the Meng family, so try not to fight if he can.
Tian Gong didn't care, as long as Ran Xiao was happy. The two of them got together to talk, and Tian Gong talked about what they encountered in the Demon Realm.
Starting from the first time I entered the Magic Realm, to this time I came out. Although I said a lot of things and had hidden some things, I still couldn't finish it after a long time.
Because he was worried about the Meng family's misfortune and the Ran family's accident, Ran Xiao and Tian Gong did not leave again and stayed in Qian Town with peace of mind. This stay was for the New Year.
The Ran family has many businesses, and it is very busy when the end of the year is approaching, and they have to collect accounts.
A long time ago, various accidents occurred in the Ran family, such as robbery and stolen goods, and unpaid debts.
This year is quite bizarre. There are thirty-six families who owe money in total. When the Ran family went to collect the accounts, they directly explained the reason. Some people in the Meng family refused to repay the money, saying that they dared to repay the money, and the Meng family would deal with them.
To be continued...
