"The head of the family..."

When the old man heard these two words, he fell into a brief thought. Then he smiled and asked easily: "Isn't this your thing?"

Gu Nanfeng said in a deep voice: "You should understand what I mean. What I want is not a false reputation."

"I understand. Of course I understand."

Gu Qilin asked leisurely: "But, do you understand what I mean? I am not the head of the family, and the new Gu Lushen is not the head of the family. Even if there is no head of the family, after the separation, the Gu family is still the first family in Nagano. Why?"

This question.

Gu Nanfeng was stunned.

"Because the head of the family... has always been just a false name."

The old man said calmly, "The reason why Gu Changzhi is the head of the family is just because... he is Gu Changzhi."

"Eight years ago, many people died in Nagano... just to send you to Hokkaido."

The old man's voice was solemn, "If it's not for you to become the 'head of the family', what are the sacrifices of these people for?"

"The name of the head of the family does not require my approval, nor does it need the approval of others... As long as you are strong enough, really strong enough, you will be the head of the Gu family."

"and……"

"You seem to have some misunderstanding about me... You always think that I chose to retreat because I was afraid of war..."

Gu Qilin narrowed his eyes and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, "On the battlefield, this behavior is called desertion. If there is destined to be such a battle between the old and new factions, then I must be the one who fights to the end. I will never

Don't compromise, never retreat, let alone... be a deserter."

"The reason why the old and new factions can still have 'peace' is because neither side is sure of winning."

"Sixty years ago, when I went north to the fortress to fight against the disaster, I was still a high-spirited young man. Like you, I had great ambitions and believed that I could change the entire war situation with one person."

Gu Nanfeng was stunned.

"But now I'm old."

The old man spoke softly and said, "If you have the ability to hold the sword of victory and bring real peace to the Gu family... then please do it."

People in the world always believe that a powerful name is a sword that will always win.

But in fact, it's just the opposite.

Because he holds a long sword in his hand, he is respected by the world.

Retreating and compromising are just a kind of accumulation of strength... When an explosion only means destruction, then shouting filial piety is also an ineffective cry.

Gu Nanfeng suddenly understood the meaning of what the old man had done over the years. Whether he sent himself out of Nagano or refused to let him return... he was all waiting for his own growth.

And speaking of this.

Gu Nanfeng became a little silent instead.

He looked at the old man and said, "Are you... willing to let me give it a try?"

"If you don't want to, will you just give up?" The old man said calmly: "If you were me sixty years ago, and the negotiations were fruitless, you would have carried the energy cannon and hit the new faction.

Those who get in the way will be blown to pieces."

Gu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Energy cannons are outdated... now Beizhou Military Headquarters has more powerful weapons."

"Back to the topic."

He took a gentle breath and said: "If you are willing to support me, I will plan to regain the scattered power of my hometown... This will not be a short process, and a big conflict may break out."

The wording is very elegant.

In fact, it is "confluence".

The Gu family is no longer divided into the new school and the old school!

The old man put his hands on his elbows and listened quietly, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Nanfeng said: "From the perspective of maximizing success rate... I will start to win over the other three of the five major companies."

The old man narrowed his eyes: "But this will expand the situation of the war. If a conflict breaks out, the entire Nagano will be dragged into the water."

"So... greater power is needed, external power."

Gu Qilin was silent for a while.

"You mean the allies outside Nagano... Huazhi?"

"Perhaps there are more allies." Gu Nanfeng said calmly, "I know your concerns. The five families have maintained a delicate balance for many years... The battle in Nagano does not involve the forces in Nagano. Everyone.

Each maintains a balance and symbiosis, but once external forces are involved, the situation will become more and more complicated, and the rules established by the five families will be broken."

The old man nodded, "This is... a taboo!"

Gu Nanfeng suddenly asked: "If you make an agreement with the enemy to fight with bare hands, and the opponent pulls out a knife in the middle of the battle, what should you do?"

"..."

The old man narrowed his eyes and understood what his grandnephew meant.

"I will use the source energy cannon. Although you just said... this thing is outdated, but it is really useful in one-on-one combat." The old man said in a deep voice, "You mean, someone has violated the rules?"

"It's actually not hard to guess."

Gu Nanfeng said seriously: "Just imagine, not long ago, the two [Apostles] joined forces to enter the metropolitan area. Without the instruction of the God's Throne behind them...how could they dare to break the balance between the continents? The Tower of Source is spying on the Qing Tomb.

How could they have acted so recklessly if they had not received any information for many years?"

And the one who has the closest relationship with Qingzuka.

It's Nagano, Gujia.

"Before the [Apostle] invasion broke out, Master Qianye told me... She felt someone was watching the Qing Tomb, and using divination, she predicted that something bad would come to the metropolitan area. It was related to the fire from the outer continent, maybe it was

[The Apostles] are going to take action."

Gu Nanfeng said slowly: "So... I chose to leave Beizhou and set out to solve the situation."

"And when I actually returned to Dongzhou and learned about the Awakening Law, I became even more certain... that the advancement of this law will definitely separate Dongzhou." Gu Nanfeng said in a deep voice: "So... I must

Prevent the passage of the law."

The old man also said in a low voice: "Where is the evidence?"

"There is no evidence."

Gu Nanfeng shook his head and said: "If you don't believe it...then even if you find evidence, it will be of no use."

"You have to know... Nagano's attitude has always been pertinent when it comes to the law. Those in the Gu family's new sect have never expressed positive opinions in public in support of the law." Gu Qilin frowned, "

If they have connections to other continents, they just need strong support."

"If you know the outcome is already decided, why do you need to take a stand?"

Gu Nanfeng just chuckled and said: "You know, if Zhao Xilai changes his mind at the last moment, the law has already been implemented. Nagano's silence is the best help."

The old man fell into deep thought.

Yes.

If those in the new sect show even the slightest interest in the progress of the law, he will notice it.

And at that time, the old school will definitely be on guard.

But there was no reaction at all... Either he didn't care at all, or he was sure that the outcome would develop in the direction he expected.

"If what you say is true..."

The old man lowered his eyes slightly and said: "Then war is indeed inevitable."

When the new faction of the Gu family colludes with other continents.

So no matter what the situation is with the person in the Qing Tomb...sooner or later a fight for "fire" will break out.

"That's why I desperately want to see you."

Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath and said: "After eight years in Nagano, no matter which side of the Gu family will recognize my status as the 'head of the family', I want to advance the negotiations between Nagano and Dadu. With my strength, no matter how much I appeal, I can't."

There will be no support.”

"Negotiation... is not as simple as you think."

The old man shook his head again, "Today's old school is only half of the Gu family and cannot represent Nagano."

"Actually I've thought about this..."

Gu Nanfeng said: "If Nagano is willing to negotiate with Dato, then the problem will most likely be solved. But even if the negotiations cannot advance, I only need the law to be reviewed and approved and Nagano to continue to remain neutral."

"..."

The old man looked deeply at his grandnephew.

"Not long ago, before you came back, Gu Lushen had a talk with me."

"The content of the conversation is very simple..."

"He is willing to merge to restore the Gu family as a whole, and then the old and new factions will transfer power... Although it is difficult to reconcile, this formal merger will inevitably have many gaps, but it is at least a nominal 'unity.'
To be continued...
