Chapter 462: Follow the orders of the Patriarch

Moreover, this time He Shouwei and the He Shouzhong brothers left the family at the same time, but in the end only He Shouwei returned. The deep meaning behind this is also somewhat intriguing.
"Patriarch, if we hear that Fengzong wants to go to war, what should we do?"
However, in addition to the aggressive people in power, the He family still has tribes who are unwilling to confront the Tingfengzong. Someone wisely said: "Now the He family, Wan family, Qu family, and Xue family are all in chaos in Linzhou. , Xiang family...these families who participated in the religious affairs, their properties are showing signs of being targeted. Maybe this chaos is aimed at the religious religion, not any family, if we take the lead in listening to the wind Zong's move broke the current situation, and the He family is likely to become the target of public criticism."
"According to you, Tingfengzong detained our caravan and swallowed our goods, so we can only endure this bad breath?" The clan who first proposed to be tough with Tingfengzong The old man was a little displeased: "The He family is the first family in Linzhou. Listening to Fengzong, there is a title of No. 1 on the face of Fengzong. But who doesn't know that in Linzhou, our He family is truly the only one? Now Listening to Fengzong and the miscellaneous fish families running to provoke the majesty of the He family, if we endure this breath, why should we stand in Linzhou in the future?"
Although these remarks are a bit extreme, they are true.
Any wealthy family that can be named the first family can not tolerate the slightest provocation of others against the majesty of the family.
Otherwise, someone will destroy the family property today, and someone will kill the children of the family tomorrow without paying any price. Who will serve this so-called ‘first family’ in the future?
What's more, the He family's ability to become Linzhou's first family depends on more than strength.
Strength is important, but at some point, the right method is the foundation of whether a family can stand.
When the old Patriarch of the He family was still alive, the He family had already overwhelmed the entire Linzhou, relying on the old Patriarch's tyrannical strength and iron-blooded means. Any force that dared to go against the He family was finally removed from Linzhou.
Rush to kill, indifferent and ruthless, this is the fundamental reason why the He family can stand firm.
If the He family let go of those provocative guys today, every Linzhou family would know in the future that the He family had become weaker and could become humiliated at will.
Once the He family sends out this signal, those noble families will never let go of this opportunity.
Therefore, even if the He family is really weak, they dare not show it. Even if they end up stubbornly, they must fight Tingfengzong so that everyone can remember that the first family in Linzhou still has the surname He. !
"Who doesn't know that those goods are the painstaking effort of yours? Now that the goods are taken away by Tingfengzong, you are of course sad. But this is not the reason why you took the whole He family to fight with Tingfengzong!"
The clan member who did not approve of the war had a cold voice, and immediately retorted.
"You say it again?" The clan elder was also on the scene.
"enough!"
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out in the chamber, He Shouwei let out a deep cry, causing everyone to shut their mouths and look at him.
He Shouwei glanced across the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "I understand what you are thinking, and I also know that there are many people's interests involved. The He family is no longer a family of several people. Conflicts of interest are normal, but at such a critical moment, if I know who is still making some small calculations, then don't blame me for being polite!"
Having said that, He Shouwei's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at those tribesmen who jumped the most.
These people were from the line closer to He Shouzhong before. Now that He Shouzhong suddenly disappeared, the life or death is unknown. They realized that they had lost their backing, so they eagerly wanted to force He Shouwei to fight Tingfengzong.
Whether they win or lose, they can get enough benefits from it.
And now that He Shouwei used his eyes to warn them, those people also realized that the current situation was probably worse than they thought.
You know, even though He Shouwei is the nominal Patriarch, he has always treated people peacefully and never used the Patriarch's authority to make a statement. In addition to the fact that the He family did not encounter any major crises, what is more important is that He Shouzhong's existence makes He Shouwei no chance to establish authority.
But now He Shouwei's uncharacteristic performance has made everyone present realize one thing.
He Shouzhong is probably dead.
If it were not for He Shouzhong's death, He Shouwei would not be so tough.
Thinking of this possibility, those clan elders and clan members who were originally on He Shouzhong's side looked very ugly.
Although the previous He family was strong, its internal power was not concentrated because of the two ‘patriarchs’. Many people took this opportunity to take advantage of the big loopholes and made a lot of benefits.
But now He Shouzhong is dead, and He Shouwei has regained all his rights. Once he has to settle accounts, at least half of the people present will be unlucky.
When everyone had their own thoughts and the atmosphere became uneasy, He Shouwei landed a palm on the arm of the chair, and his qi spread out, immediately stabilizing the scene.
Immediately afterwards, He Shouwei said indifferently: "Right now is not the best time to go to war with them. Now our top priority is to swallow the forces of Wanjia and Qujia as soon as possible."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions were a little exciting.
At such a sensitive moment now, the He family is a little overwhelmed. He Shouwei actually wants to annex the forces of the Qu family and the Wan family? Are those two big families really soft persimmons?
Moreover, the Qu family is nothing more. Wan family has always been an ally with He family, and the personal relationship between Wan Yan and He Shouwei, the lord of the family, is very good, and the two are considered close friends. Even if He Shouwei ignored this friendship and suddenly decided to deal with Wanjia, everyone was caught off guard.
"Wan Yan is dead." Seeing their doubts, He Shouwei calmly threw out the heavy news.
Before they even waited for them to digest, He Shouwei continued: "Not only Wan Yan, Qu Zun also died in the Celestial Cave. The Wanjia and Qujia are now in a state of no leader, as long as these two Swallow, what's our loss before?"
"This……"
"Wan Yan, Qu Zun is dead?"
Everyone was unable to recover from this news for a while.
After all, these two people are well-known strong men in Linzhou. In a place like Linzhou, it is unlikely that a grandmaster will fight to the death for many years, and unless it is a real feud, there will rarely be a grandmaster.
As a result, as soon as He Shouwei spoke, he announced the death of the two masters.
In addition, He Shouzhong, who could almost be identified as dead, had already lost three of Linzhou's masters in just a few days.
But they soon understood what He Shouwei meant.
When Wan Yan and Qu Zun died, Wan Jia and Qu Jia became two big pieces of fat. If they can eat these two pieces of fat in their mouths, the current loss of He Jia is really not worth mentioning. Moreover, after swallowing Wanjia and Qujia, the He family is likely to go further, and in the future may be able to become a true noble family in the Holy Kingdom.
Thinking of this, some people were silent, and some were excited. Even if the clan elder who was clamoring to fight Tingfengzong because his caravan was detained, he couldn't find any reason to oppose He Shouwei's plan at this moment.
Even if it’s not really for the sake of the family, and only considers their own interests, it is obviously more worthwhile to annex Wanjia and Qujia, and there is not much risk.
"If you don't have any objections, I have one more thing to announce here." He Shouwei looked around everyone, "From today, the He family will take the lead in forming an alliance. This time, the families who participated in the exploration of the Tianren Dongfu will join. In the future, several big families will be united, and pass the news on, order the clansmen not to cause trouble, and those who meet these big families, remember that they are allies."
"Understood?"
No one in the chamber answered, but He Shouwei's tone became a little rough, and he asked every word.
"Respect the Patriarch's Order..."
Everyone hesitated for a while, and after exchanging their eyes, they replied together.
