Chapter 18 The Battle of the Patriarchs
Chapter 18: The dispute between the head of the family ()
Just when Long Chong wanted to speak, his confidant Long Qi said at this time: "Everyone, although I am just a child of the Long family, I have to stand up and say a fair word at this time, ahem."
Longqi coughed twice as he pretended to be. He looked at Long Chong's expression and saw that he was looking at him with encouragement. Long Qi's courage became stronger and continued: "When the master was there, most of the business of the Long family was managed by the old man. Not only was it managed in an orderly manner, but the main source of economics of the Long family, that is, the business of the Northeast Ranch this year was several times better than before. But it was because the third master's son Long Tian had a powerful mysterious force, which caused the Northeast Ranch to be blood-scrapped. Moreover, the death of the master was also caused by this mysterious force. Long Tian can be said to be the culprit of the killer. As the saying goes, the third master's son made such an unforgivable mistake. Then he is not qualified to be the head of the Long family. According to my opinion, the uncle is the best candidate for the Long family. After I finished speaking, everyone will consider it."
Long Chong was overjoyed when he heard this. He was indeed worthy of being his confidant. He really won my heart. He nodded slightly to Longqi, his eyes full of praise.
Ryuki's words caused a stir in the hall, and his words made some sense. The main reason why the old man died this time was indeed because Long Tian got involved in that mysterious force.
Everyone suddenly started to talk. Long Chong looked at the people in the hall proudly. Only Long Shen still looked like he was still looking at the top of Mount Tai. Lao Chong suddenly became very upset. He is still pretending to be here. When I become the head of the Long family, the first thing I do is to drive your family out of the Long family and make you homeless stray dogs.
"What do you think of Longqi's proposal? Although I don't care whether to be the head of the Long family, it is quite difficult for the Long family to develop after several generations of ancestors to this day. I don't want to see the Long family decline in the hands of our generation, so I am stern and competing for the position of the head of the family here, all for the sake of the Long family's Qianqiu foundation." Long Chong looked at everyone and said righteously. The dark look on his face disappeared without a trace. Longqi's words made his hope that had long been destroyed in his heart rekindled.
Long Chong looked at the people in the hall, and saw that everyone was not talking, thinking that everyone had agreed with his intention, so he was preparing to continue to give a speech competing with the head of the family. However, when he was about to speak, the old butler Long Qing spoke: "Everyone, I think that Longqi and the uncle's words are inappropriate. Although the old man passed away this time, although the fourth master of Long had a powerful enemy, the old man once told me that even if he was covered in bones, he should protect the safety of the fourth master. The old man knew that even if the master was in the nine springs, he would not want to see everyone push all the blame on the fourth master. Moreover, since the master made a will, he had plans just in case. He was also afraid that after his death, the Long family would have such a situation today. Therefore, the old man believed that we should still follow the Master's wishes and regard the Third Master as the head of the family to comfort the Master's spirit in heaven."
"You..." Long Chong pointed at Long Qing so angry that he couldn't speak. He was completely collapsed at this time. The situation was developing towards his favorable side. Who knew that this immortal Long Qing stood up to oppose him again? He is, he has no grudges with him in the past. Why did he always treat him? If he could sit on the throne of the head of the Long family, the first thing was to crush this ungrateful old guy to ashes.
Seeing this, Long Shang seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Yes, Uncle Qing's words make sense. My father once swore in front of our three sons that even if the Long family was gone, he would protect the safety of his nephew Long Tian. Now that my father died unfortunately, we are all sad, but I think that my father will never blame Long Tian in the underworld. We cannot push his father's death to Tian'er. If anyone is still entangled in this matter, I, Long Shang, will be the first to be anxious with him."
Long Chong tried hard to calm the anger in his heart, and asked slowly with a gloomy face: "Long Wen, what do you mean?"
Long Wenwang didn't look Long Chong at a glance, and said lightly: "I will do what the master wants." He had no good feelings for Long Chong, and felt that Long Chong was not suitable to be the head of the Long family, but he was an outsider, so it was hard to say much, but his words showed that he still felt that the old man's will was valid.
"You are so confused." Long Chong sighed loudly.
"What do you mean by brother?" Long Shang asked in surprise. Everyone looked at Long Chong curiously, wondering what tricks he had.
A hint of palpitations appeared on Long Chong's face. He thought about the words and asked loudly: "Do you know who the mysterious force that killed my Northeast Ranch and killed the old man?" After saying that, he shut up and said no longer, which sucked everyone's appetite.
Long Shang's face suddenly changed and he asked loudly: "Brother, do you know?"
Everyone stared at Long Chong in unison, which was what they were desperately trying to know.
"The enemy that Long Tian attacked this time is the Rakshasa Sect, the number one killer sect in our neighboring country's Nanyi Empire." After Long Chong said that, he closed his eyes slightly and never looked at everyone again, letting everyone think about the consequences themselves.
Sure enough, Long Chong's words were undoubtedly a bombshell. The Rakshasa Sect is the number one killer sect in the Nanyi Kingdom. It has a strong power and has a very close relationship with the Nanyi Empire. Both sides advance and retreat together. If anyone wants to annihilate the Rakshasa Sect, they must face the Nanyi Empire. Even if the first oriental family in Tianxing City wants to completely annihilate the Rakshasa Sect, they will suffer great damage to their vitality and will not be worth the loss.
The Long family is just a small family, and it is not enough to see in front of the Rakshasa Sect.
Long Shang asked half-believingly and half-doubtedly: "Brother, how do you know that the other party is from the Rakshasa Sect?"
Long Chong opened his eyes and said loudly: "This is what I asked from the men in black last night. If you don't believe your elder brother, you can go to Rakshasa Sect to ask about this matter yourself."
"This..." Long Shang was speechless. He was in the realm of Xuan King. He had the ability to go to the Rakshasa Sect. Isn't it that meat buns will go and fight dogs without going back?
"Now Long Tian has brought such a big enemy to our Long family. Do you think that as Long Tian's father, his third brother is qualified to be the head of the Long family?" Long Chong looked at everyone and shouted sternly.
"The old man is still very powerful. The Long family must not be handed over to the third master. Otherwise, we will all have to be buried with him, and then our death will not be far away." Longqi echoed.
Long Chong glanced at Long Shen and saw that he had not spoken, so he asked, "Third brother, what do you think of the position of the head of the Long family?"
As the person involved, Long Shen was actually very complicated inside, so when everyone was discussing, he didn't say a word. At this time, Long Chong asked him and had to speak.
"Brother, logically speaking, as the eldest son of the family, you are the head of the Long family. But since your father had made a will before his death, I think it would be better for us to follow his father's instructions. You can rest assured that even if I become the head of the Long family in the future, I will definitely discuss matters of the family with you and the second brother, and I will never be able to do it alone." Long Shen replied slowly when he heard this. He also knew what kind of virtue his eldest brother was. For the prospect of the family's development, Long Shen had to stand up and compete.
"You..." Long Chong pointed at Long Shen's face and shouted fiercely. Finally, he stood up with a gloomy face and said to Long Qi on his seat: "Long Qi, let's go. When the old man's funeral is over, we will leave the Long family and go to the Northeast Ranch. Since the old man doesn't let me be the head of this family, I don't care."
Longqi stood up after hearing this, followed Long Chong and walked towards the inner hall of the Long family.
"Brother..." Long Shang shouted from behind, "My father's will repeatedly remind us to get along with us three brothers. Now my father's body is not cold. Brother, you are just like this. Don't you feel sorry for your father?"
Long Chong turned around and smiled ferociously: "Haha, second brother, let me tell you, if the Long family is the master of Longshen in the future, the people of the Rakshasa Sect will not let the Longsen go. If you follow your elder brother's advice, follow your elder brother to the Northeast Ranch, which can save your life, otherwise you will accompany Longsen to die, haha."
Amid the crazy laughter, Long Chong took Longzaki away, leaving everyone in the hall to see each other.
"Third brother, brother, he?" Long Shang looked at Long Shen and wanted to speak but stopped.
"Forget it, let him do it. This time Tian'er attacks such a strong enemy, and our Long family's future path will definitely not be easy, but as long as I have Longshen one day, I will never let the Long family decline."
Long Shen looked at the people in the hall, thought for a while, and continued, "Now the Rakshasa Sect has been with our Long family forever. This incident was caused by my son, but I am proud of Tian'er. No matter what, I will do my best to protect Tian'er. But then again, you all have nothing to do with this matter. If you want to leave the Long family now, then I have no complaints and will give you a lot of money to leave the glory. Now you all decide how to choose."
The hall suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Soon, Long Shang said loudly: "Third brother, since it is my father's intention to let you be the head of the family, I will definitely obey it. As a descendant of the Long family, I will definitely live and die with my family."
"Okay." Long Shen looked at Long Shang and nodded.
"San Master, Lao Nu and the Master grew up together, and he has long regarded himself as a member of the Long family. Lao Nu was born from the Long family and died from the Long family. No matter what, Lao Nu will advance and retreat with the Long family. I hope the Third Master will fulfill his wish." The old butler Long Qing said resolutely.
Long Shen looked at Long Qing, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qing." Long Shen was very moved by Long Shen. As the saying goes, true love is seen in times of adversity, and Long Shen is very familiar with the old housekeeper's character, so he did not say much. A short sentence has already expressed his gratitude.
Long Shen looked at Long Wen, the leader of Long Family Guard, and now it depends on how he chooses.
Long Wen kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. He felt that everyone was staring at him. Long Wen slowly raised his head and said in an extremely firm tone: "Everyone, I, Long Wen, have always been loved by the master and cannot repay me. Under the situation of the Long family, if I leave, I will never be able to raise my head in Tianxuan Continent in the future. Second Master, I will not leave the Long family now. If the Long family is safe in the future, maybe I will resign from you and travel the entire Tianxuan Continent. I hope the Second Master can do it at that time."
"Thank you, Brother Long, please think twice." Long Shen advised. Long Wen was just the same surname as him and had no blood relationship with the Long family. If he wanted to leave at this time, Long Shen would never say much.
"Second Master, you don't have to say much. Don't you understand my Longwen's character? I, Longwen, are definitely not a person who is afraid of death. If the Second Master wants to persuade me, then he will look down on me, Longwen." Longwen said proudly, without any discussion in his tone.
"Since that's the case, I won't say much. In short, I, Longshen, thank you everyone. I hope that the Long family can carry forward the work of our joint efforts."
After saying that, Long Shen stood up and bowed to everyone. Long Wen and the others all stood up and gave a greeting.
However, when he thought that Long Tian was still missing, a deep sense of worry suddenly appeared on Long Shen's face.
Long Shen buried his concerns about his son deeply in his heart, sat down again, and began to discuss matters related to the old man's funeral with everyone.
