Chapter 8 Don't move
The late autumn in the northeast gives people a feeling of cold wind. The weeds have sunk into the earth, the leaves have scattered sadness, and the air is dry and astringent. The roaring wind, like tens of millions of swords, instantly defeats people's hearts.
Long Xiaoqi walked on the curved path as usual. I don't know when purposeless walking has become his habit, guarding the front of the Long family like a soldier. Looking at the peaceful picture, looking at the busy and people coming and going Long's lobby, listening to the laughter of the people after harvest, there is more comfort and less melancholy.
In Long Xiaoqi's heart, the boundary between the two worlds has gradually blurred, and he even has a deep nostalgia for the world. If one day, he wakes up and returns to the era that originally belonged to him. I don't know what else can impress him and what else can touch the weakness in his heart. A peaceful life will make people obsessed with this comfort, but after a long time of comfort, it will make people tired of this plainness. Long Xiaoqi is such a person, living in contradictions and living in the contrast between the past and reality.
Unconsciously, Long Xiaoqi came to the conference hall of the Long family and saw her grandfather, father and uncle sitting in the upper position through the window, while the elders and guardians sat and listened with serious faces, as if something important had happened. Long Zhanhua's face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and his iron fist kept hitting the table, as if venting his dissatisfaction. Long Zhanjun stared at Long Jingdao tightly, and his angry eyes and sharp eyes seemed to be looking for something on Long Jingdao's face. On the other hand, Long Jingdao is still the appearance of the fairy style, with a free expression and the movement is still the same. However, in this golden world, the beard of hair and jaw look more pale, with a prestige, but a trace of desolation.
"Father, the Oriental family has repeatedly provoked my Long family. We haven't settled with them about Xiaoqi's birthday banquet, but now they have bullied us and bullied us. They not only injured and killed the peripheral children of my Long family, but also refused to return the enterprises they robbed. Did they really bully no one in my Long family? Do they really think that my Long family is afraid of him? Long Zhanhua was not a big voice, but I don't know why he was so excited every time he mentioned the Oriental family. At this time, his face had gradually changed from iron blue to red, as if it was hypoxia caused by talking too much. However, Long Zhanhua will not lack oxygen because of his words, but in his heart, the Oriental family is really heinous. As long as Long Jing said a word, he will definitely rush up and fight with the Oriental family endlessly.
Long Zhanjun knows his brother's character very well. He also knows the kindness and resentment between the Oriental family and the Long family. The feud between the two families has been hundreds of years and can't be solved by small fights. However, the patriarchs of all dynasties have never had the idea of eating the Oriental family. Similarly, Long Jingdao will not. For the rudeness of the Oriental family, the Long family will at most scare and scare them. If they are willing to give up, it's okay. If they don't stop, they will send someone to take back the territory of the Long family and disperse the peripheral children of the Eastern family. Although you and I do not give in to each other, there has been no big fight. However, with the passage of time, the contradictions between the two families are gradually intensified.
"Cough, cough..." Long Zhanjun coughed softly and wink at Long Zhanhua while coughing, signaling him not to be excited. In the heart of the Long Zhanjun, the person he admires most is his father. He is not only good at martial arts, but also does not panic every time he encounters something. He calmly commands the clan, as if he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart.
"Zhan Hua! You are about to become a parent. Don't always be so extreme. The Eastern family has had an enmity with our Long family for hundreds of years. Haven't your ancestors thought of removing the Oriental family and ending future troubles? The Long family can stand without falling for thousands of years, relying not only on force, but also on morality and wisdom. The ancestors of the eight families once set rules that the eight families could not kill each other, otherwise they would not be far from exterminated. The Oriental family may be waiting for our large-scale counterattack, and then they became famous and could unite with the other six families to clean up the door and destroy our Long family. You know, for a hundred years, my Long family has been a dominant family. The rest of the family is not like a big enemy, but I'm afraid they are also restless. They will not give up a great opportunity to weaken the strength of our Long family. You! It's not steady enough. You should study hard like your brother. Otherwise, how can I safely give the Long family to you two after I leave? Long Jingdao said slowly and couldn't see a trace of panic. Perhaps, in his eyes, the provocation of the Oriental family was already common. If one day the Oriental family suddenly calms down, he will feel the seriousness of the matter, because dogs are dogs and can never change the problem of barking.
Long Zhanhua also felt his gaffe when his father said this. Suddenly, he sat on the chair without saying a word. Thinking about his performance just now, he couldn't help blushing.
"Father, the people of the Oriental family are abnormal this time and did not hand over the territory of our Long family as usual, and even many enterprises have been robbed by them. This time, our Long family has suffered heavy losses! In addition, I once sent someone to drive them away, but I didn't expect that they ignored me and killed all the peripheral children I sent. If I guess correctly, the Eastern family should have dispatched people from the clan this time. If it hadn't been for the fear of making the matter bigger, I wouldn't have asked the elders to come to discuss this matter. The Long Zhanjun's hatred for the Oriental family is no less than Long Zhanhua, but he cares more about the overall situation. Sometimes, he even feels that the Oriental family is more like a dog skin plaster. As long as it touches you, it will make you fall off.
"Emp..." Long Jingdao didn't say much. He put his hand on his jaw, his eyebrows were locked, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyebrows were upside down. He was thinking about the intention of the Oriental family this time. In the hall, there were only people's gasps, and the three elders and the eight guardians were also thinking sadly. What the hell is Dongfang Jie, an immortal?
Long Xiaoqi outside the window looked at everyone with a smile on her face. In his heart, there had already been results. As an "experienced person", he even knew the ending of the Long family, and there was nothing he could not see through. However, in the face of honor and family affection, he chose the latter. Only when he lost it could he cherish it, but after all, he lost it and could only be sealed in his memory by permanent dust.
"Father, we will invite the patriarchs of the remaining six families. First, it can mean that my Long family has absolutely no indistinguable thoughts, and they are also a witness when they come. Second, maybe the Eastern family will restrain themselves under the constraints of the six major families. Long Zhanjun thought for a moment and said softly. He didn't know if his father would agree with him, because every time his father walked in front of him and wanted to be in front of him.
"Ye" After hearing this, Long Jingdao nodded slightly. What you said is not unreasonable. Under normal circumstances, this is a good idea. However, if you want to distinguish the current form, my Long family is the dominant family, and the rest of the family may have endured it for a long time and want them to speak for those who have threatened themselves, which is more difficult than climbing to the sky. Although the Oriental family is the second largest family, I don't think they would dare to provoke us without the support of the other six families or other families. Therefore, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. The alliance rules of the eight major families will only appear when our Eastern family is unfavorable, but it is to add fuel to the fire and never send help in the snow. Long Jingdao has lived for 70 or 80 years and has already figured out the relationship between the eight families. For thousands of years, the eight families have supported and restricted each other and never allowed a dominant situation, while the Oriental family is just the "cannon fodder" selected by the six families. However, who will be the cannon and who will be the ash in the end remains to be verified by time.
"Okay, you don't have to say more. I already have the answer in my heart." Speaking of this, Long Jingdao suddenly stopped, drank tea and stroked his beard. Long Zhanjun also had a clear understanding in his heart that his father was well-intentioned and sacrificed his reputation for the family's thousands of careers.
"That father..." Long Zhanhua is very puzzled. Will he let go of the Oriental family like this? He is unwilling!
"Hey!" Long Jingdao sighed softly. Since the old man Zhao left, no one has been able to chat with him and talk to his heart. Pressure, fate and personal honor have made him miserable. Long Jingdao has even had the idea of resigning from the position of patriarch, living a peaceful life, cultivating his fighting spirit, and one day he can break through the realm of green spirit, go to that carefree world, be an ordinary person, and live the life he wants. However, the real pressure forced him to give up his dream. The wolf-like oriental family, the indecisive dragon army, and the immature dragon war. If he leaves at this time, he will be the sinner of the dragon family. Perhaps Xiaoqi will be a turning point.
"Listen to my orders, don't move, and break up the meeting!" After saying that, Long Jingdao left his seat and walked to his bedroom.
