Chapter 61: sixty-three

Chapter 61 and Chapter 63: People Who Shouldn't Appear
The annual meeting of the Tang clan is the most important celebration of the clan every year. The clan auditorium, which can accommodate 20,000 people, has been transformed into a banquet hall. A two-meter high platform was built in the east to overlook the audience.
Behind the high platform are nine extraordinarily luxurious round tables, which are also the chairpersons of the annual meeting, belonging to the patriarch, the first seat of the battle hall, Zong Zheng, and the elders.
Then there are round tables neatly arranged in the auditorium, each with eight seats and a total of two thousand tables.
The Townsend family arrived not too early. When they entered the auditorium, they were already full of voices. Most of the tribe had been sitting in their seats for a while, and it was full of noise.
With the arrival of the Townsend family, all the other clansmen stood up and saluted the Townsend family except for the people at the main table.
Tang Sen held Tang Nuannuan in one hand and Xu Shuhui in the other. He politely nodded to the surrounding and walked towards the seat.
Although it was the second time to feel this look, Tang Luo was still not used to it, let alone Xiaozheng Tai.
Xiao Zhengtai tried his best to hold his head high, not wanting to lose his momentum, but he didn't know where to put his eyes and hands, and he simply fell behind by half a step, staring at Tang Luo's back, stepping along.
Under the gaze of thousands of people in the auditorium, the family walked to the table and sat down. The main seat of twelve people was less than half seated, which was in sharp contrast with the other eight chairs.
The seats are vacant to this extent, of course not because the number of people in the third room is really scarce, but because the father-son relationship between Tang Sen and Tang Hao is very bad.
The ancestor of the Tang family's lineage in Xiling was named Tang Zhengqing, a strong man at the pinnacle of a fierce state. He has three sons in total, so the Tang family has three bedrooms.
Tang Luo's line is Sanfang, and up there are a grandfather Tang Hao and a second grandfather Tang Ran. The Tang family has multiplied in Xiling until the 20th generation. Both the Dafang and the second rooms have opened their branches and branches, and there are countless branches. But there has always been only one main channel and one branch. Of course, this is for a reason.
In the Tang family's clan law, it is clearly stated that the family can apply to leave the house to establish a mansion after the age of twenty. After leaving the house, you are the head of the family and the branch of the Tang family.
For men of the Tang family who want to show their ambitions, leaving home and establishing a mansion is almost a must-go, because every teenager is extremely confident in himself and believes that he can break into a huge family business.
Only Sanfang was not. Any man in Sanfang except Townsend didn't believe that he could start a bigger family business than Sanfang.
Tang Zhengqing has three children, but the youngest son is the one he loves the most. Because this is his old son, so he is particularly rebellious, but the child is young, nearly a hundred years younger than his two brothers. This made Tang Zhengqing extremely worried about the future of this young son.
Therefore, when dividing the three veins of the Tang clan, Tang Zhengqing distributed some spirit jade spirit grass and magic armor to the big room and the second room, and left all the heritage to the younger son.
Among them, 33 wild beasts, a thousand blood slaves, and a thousand puppets are the most. And the mansion with 21 large formations was used as a three-room delivery room.
Seeing that Tang Zhengqing was so partial, the eldest son and the second son had no choice but to accept it, but such a rich background did not allow Sanfang to grow up.
The young child is of extraordinary aptitude, and the young man is addicted to martial arts, but he gives up martial arts when he grows up, singing and singing every night. He spoiled his body within a few years. When Tang Zhengqing, who had been in retreat for ten years, left the prison, the vigorous young genius had become a waste of excessive alcohol and depleted kidneys.
Therefore, Sanfang has become the strongest but weakest member of the Tang family in Xiling. Because of its profound background, each Sanjiazi brother is unwilling to go out and establish a mansion by himself, but wants to inherit the family master’s background and become the master of the family. , Even if some concubine knows that hope is slim, they can't suppress their greed.
After all, staying in the three rooms, blood slaves and puppets can drive them, leaving the house to establish a mansion, there is nothing except a few warriors who have not reached the world.
So until now, there is only one branch of Tang Sen.
The feud between Tang Hao and Tang Sen also originated from this. Tang Hao hoped that Tang Sen could return to the clan, so that in a hundred years, Tang Sen could become the master of the Three Chambers and take good care of those brothers and sisters.
But Townson refused, because in his heart, only his wife, children and sister are his family.
How did Tang Hao, who is deeply proud of the three-room background, accept it. Since then, the two have no contact with each other, even at the annual meeting, never say hello, let alone the same table, just like strangers.
At this time, the curtain on the high platform opened, revealing the figure of the patriarch Tang Zhi.
"Everyone." He wore a black suit on stage. The peak of Xuanfan, which has long been invaded by the cold and heat, is still a single shirt even in the winter, making people feel chills when looking at it.
The patriarch’s onstage brought the eyes of all the tribesmen present to focus on the stage, but their eyes were full of puzzlement. In the past, the patriarch came to the stage after the reunion dinner. Why did he stand on the stage early this year?
With a smile on his face, Tang Zhi scanned the auditorium slowly for a week, and said loudly: "Take the treasure ship, return in February."
"Oh~" The sudden loud cheers were about to overturn the roof of the auditorium. For one or two hundred years, every time the treasure ship returned, it meant that the Tang clan had grown again, and every member of the Tang clan could also share the benefits. There are many benefits. Some tribesmen who sail with the ship are even more excited, because everyone knows that when the treasure ship returns, every crew member's wealth can at least buy a house in Xiling.
Feeling the excitement of his tribe, Tang Zhi's voice was even higher and louder: "And this time, the harvest is beyond ordinary."
"Oh~ oh~ oh~~" If the cheers just now seemed to be a hit, the outcry now makes the whole auditorium vibrate, including Xiao Nuan Nuan and Xiao Zhengtai, who have merged into the atmosphere and cheered loudly.
After a long time, the cheers slowly diminished, and everyone once again cast their eyes on Tang Zhi who was standing on the main stage, eyes full of excitement, looking forward to more good news.
And Tang Zhi continued to speak, "Apart from this matter, I also want to announce a major proposal that has just passed the vote of the Presbyterian Church."
"Our clan has set up a new hall called Dark Thunder, which is operated independently and is only responsible for the Presbyterian Church. The first seat of Dark Thunder Hall is Tang Zuo, the head of the fleet."
The auditorium, which was full of joyful atmosphere just now, was silent for a moment, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard. All the people of the tribe focused on Tang Sen's table.
Tang Zuo will actually come, and a new hall will be built. Isn't this an obvious fight with Tang Sen? No one dared to take the initiative to stand aside on such a sensitive matter, so the people all looked at Tang Sen's table, wanting to see the attitude of the first seat in Wutang, and then decide whether to accept the "good news".
And since the patriarch announced the news, Tang Luo frowned slightly, because he found that his father’s expression seemed too calm, and the mother, who was the king of the show, was also drinking tea with a calm expression on her own, without listening at all. The meaning of good news.
Now it seems that parents should have known it a long time ago.
After all, it was the first seat of Wutang, and it was absolutely impossible to skip Tang Sen for such an important decision in the clan.
Regardless of the atmosphere below, Tang Zhike finished speaking for himself, then stepped aside, and gave Tang Sen a slightly deep look. "Next, please speak with you, Tang Zuo, the first seat of the Dark Thunder Hall."
Tang Sen saw Tang Zhi's eyes, nodded slightly, and stood up.
When everyone in the auditorium saw Tang Sen's movements, their hearts jumped.
If Townsend walks away, I am afraid this year will be really bad.
Unexpectedly, Townsend applauded first.
"Papa Papa" the lonely applause echoed in the auditorium, and the shocked people did not reflect it. After a while, they hurriedly followed the rhythm of Townsend and clapped their hands.
