    June of the year 906 of the Black Iron Calendar was a truly eventful month for Huaiyuantang.  In the past two months, too many things have happened in Huaiyuantang. All these things combined are destined to make this month, for everyone in Huaiyuantang, their life and destiny.  the most important turning point.  Huaiyuantang is a big ship. When this big ship is bumpy and trembling, encounters strong winds and huge waves, or even runs aground on rocks, everyone on board this big ship, every descendant of the family in Huaiyuantang, feels something.  Anxiety, restlessness, even fear.  In April, Elder Mu Shen disappeared. On the same day that Elder Mu Shen disappeared, the Zhang family in Golden Crow City was attacked. The two events combined shocked the world.  In May, Elder Mu returned safely, but a few days before Elder Mu came back, Huaiyuantang family advocate Taixuan died suddenly because he went crazy while practicing martial arts.  Zhang Taixuan¡¯s death brought huge shock to the entire Huaiyuantang and Youzhou.  Zhang Taixuan was not only the head of the Huaiyuantang family, but also the governor of Youzhou. Once he died, the position of governor of Youzhou could not be vacant. Almost seven days after Zhang Taixuan's "sudden death", the appointment of the Northeast Governor's Mansion came down, and Lu Dingzhi was appointed as the governor of the Northeast.  The newly appointed governor of Youzhou, the Lu family of Lingfeng County in Youzhou officially settled in Baihu Terrace in Youzhou City and took charge of the seal of the governor of Youzhou.  For Huaiyuantang, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to lose the qualification to take charge of the governor's family in Youzhou while losing the head of the family.  But on the same day that the order from the Northeast Governor's Office came down, Lan Yunxi became the new head of the Huaiyuan Hall.  Lan Yunxi became the head of the Huaiyuantang family, which was beyond the expectations of many people. In the eyes of many people, Zhang Taixuan died suddenly, so the most qualified and prestigious person in the Huaiyuantang to take over the position of the head of the family is the Supreme Elder of the Huaiyuantang.  Zhang Tie and Zhang Mu Shen, but the strange thing about the matter is that after Zhang Taixuan died suddenly, Zhang Mu Shen, as the supreme elder of Huaiyuantang, did not take over the position of the head of the Huaiyuantang family. At the same time, he officially recommended the Huaiyuantang Yiyangcheng lineage.  Zhang Taixuan's daughter, Lan Yunxi, who has advanced to become an Earth Knight, became the new head of the Huaiyuan Hall without expressing any objection. Therefore, God Zhang Mu did not compete for the position of the head of the family, and the other elders in the Huaiyuan Hall were not as strong as Lan Yunxi.  , coupled with various other factors, Huaiyuan Hall ushered in its first female head.  Female family heads are not a rare thing in Taixia. Not to mention far away places, in Youzhou, Guo Hongyi is also the head of the Guo family in Sanquan County, and Lan Yunxi becomes the head of the Huaiyuan Hall, although there is a bit of controversy.  , but eventually the dust fell to the ground.  The various aftermaths caused by Zhang Taixuan's sudden death, as well as the great funeral in Huaiyuan Hall, gradually calmed down after a month of disturbance.  On June 21, it was the scorching summer. In the afternoon, the atmosphere in Baohu City suddenly became solemn. Groups of Huaiyuantang sergeants appeared on the street and began patrolling A group of Huaiyuantang soldiers were patrolling.  When the patrol arrived at a street not far from Baohu Mountain, the owner of a Huai'an store on the street walked down from the upstairs of the store, came to the door of the store, and used the command to the squad leader who led the patrol of soldiers.  A look.  "Okay, everyone, let's rest for two minutes. Let's drink water here before patrolling to avoid heat stroke" Seeing the look in the boss's eyes, the team leader immediately said loudly.  The squad leader's words were unanimously approved by all the soldiers. On such a hot day, the ground in the city was steaming with heat, and the concrete floor was exposed to the sun. However, the patrolling soldiers were still wearing full armor. After two hours,  , each of the patrolling soldiers was as if they were in a steamer, already sweating profusely, and their throats were filled with smoke. However, the military orders were overwhelming, and no one dared to slack off without the consent of the leader.  This team of soldiers stood under the shadow of a banyan tree on the street. They did not disarm, but just rested temporarily.  "Little Four, Little Five, hurry up and send two pots of herbal tea to the disciples of Huaiyuantang, so that everyone can quench their thirst" Seeing that the sergeants had stopped to rest, the boss quickly ordered.  When the two waiters in the store heard the order, they quickly walked out carrying herbal tea and teacups.  And the sergeants, when they saw the name of this company, did not refuse, they drank herbal tea and rested with confidence.  In Yiyang County, all business names with the word Huai or Yuan, needless to say, were opened by people from Huaiyuantang, and these sergeants are also children of Huaiyuantang. It is most reassuring to say that they are all a family.  However, the so-called fish-water situation between the military and civilians is not an exaggeration at all when used here.  Seeing that the sergeants were drinking herbal tea and resting for a while, the team leader walked to the door of the store and called the fat owner of the store politely, "Second Uncle" "What are you going to do today?  It's a big deal." The shop owner stood in the pavilion at the entrance of the shop, waving the fan in his hand.He asked curiously, "Aren't you stationed outside the city? Why did you all come out today?" "I don't know, it's an order from above!" The squad leader looked around, and then whispered,  "I heard that several elders have come today, and they are discussing something in the ancestral hall" "What are we discussing? We are so nervous that we have to declare martial law?" The team leader smiled bitterly and said, "Second uncle, please don't  Asked, I'm just a team leader, how do I know what the elders are discussing with the family leader? Not only me, but even my immediate boss's immediate boss doesn't know!" "Is Elder Mu Shen here today?  I haven¡¯t seen the flying boat led by Jinwu City and Zhulong here!¡± When the team leader said this, his voice became lower and he took two steps closer.  No one was sent over. Elder Mu Shen and Elder Mu Shen¡¯s eldest brother Zhang Yang didn¡¯t come, and no representatives were sent. Not even anyone from the old house over there came. These days, people in the military camp are in panic, and all kinds of things are happening.  Rumors are flying all over the sky. Looking at the situation today, the more I think about it, the more wrong I am. Second uncle, you are an old man in Huaiyuan Hall. You used to be the steward of the family and your horizons are broader than mine. What do you think is going on  " The owner of the shop who was waving his fan stopped moving, and his face suddenly darkened, "Don't mess around if you have nothing to do, just do your job well, watch your mouth, talk less, do more,  The more chaotic the surroundings, the calmer you have to be, you know?" "I understand!" The team leader nodded.  After saying a few words here, the sergeants over there had almost finished drinking their herbal tea. No one dared to drink more. They were still on duty and were afraid of having to go to the toilet. One of them just drank two sips. After a short rest, no one  By five minutes, the team leader from Huaiyuan Hall took people on patrol again.  What kind of world is this? How come Huaiyuantang has just risen and its prestige is so great that even Tun Dang has withdrawn from the Northeast Governor's Office. In the past two months, Huaiyuantang has had troubles one after another. First, Elder Mu Shen had trouble, and then  The head of the house all died suddenly. After the head of the house died suddenly, Elder Mu Shen actually did not take over the position of the head of the house, and did not even come to hug Hucheng. This was not a good sign After those people left, the owner of Huai'an Company murmured in his heart  Then he patted his head with a fan, turned his head, and looked at Baohu Mountain in the distance, with a look of deep worry in his eyes.  At this moment, Baohu Mountain is heavily guarded, ten times more so than down the mountain. All the family deacons are standing at their posts around the Baohu Mountain Ancestral Hall with serious expressions. Many of them are not even proud.  Dare to take a breath.  The cicadas on Baohu Mountain are noisy, but at this moment, the main hall of Huaiyuantang Ancestral Hall is as silent as ice and filled with solemnity.  Lan Yunxi, dressed in filial piety, was sitting in the position of the head of the family. Her face was slightly pale, but the aura of Lan Yunxi was strong and determined, and there was no trace of weakness.  Except for Zhang Tie, all the elders in Huaiyuan Hall are already sitting. At this time, no elder has a smile on his face.  In addition to the elders in Huaiyuan Hall, Lan Yunxi's fourth uncle and Zhang Taixuan's brother Zhang Taibai also sat aside with a gloomy look.  Under the majestic statue of Duke Huaiyuan, in the entire ancestral hall, at this time, Lan Yunxi's cold voice was heard.  "That day, it was here, in front of me, that Zhang Tie killed my father. This was a family scandal and tragedy for Huaiyuantang. No matter what my father's fault was, even if he committed an unforgivable crime, or even involved God Mu  The elder's disappearance, but how to deal with him, needs to be discussed and decided by the elders of all the families. As the supreme elder of Huaiyuan Hall, Zhang Tie, as the supreme elder of Huaiyuantang, privately killed the family leader in the ancestral hall, which was a treason. I will propose here today to remove Zhang Tiezhang.  Mu Shen Huaiyuantang took the position of Supreme Elder, and expelled Zhang Tie, Zhang Mu Shen and Jinwutang lineage from Huaiyuantang. From now on, my Huaiyuantang lineage and the lineage of Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang brothers will no longer have any relationship.  ¡­¡± All the elders were silent, their brows furrowed and their faces as cold as steel.  "Excuse me, Patriarch, why did the Patriarch suddenly appear on Baohu Mountain when he was in retreat at Taiyi Xuanmen that day?" The elders were silent for a while, but Elder Murray, who had a hot temper and an upright personality, was the first to speak.  "After I advanced to the Earth Knight in Taiyi Xuanmen, I had been in seclusion to consolidate my cultivation. But just a few days before my father's accident, my father suddenly contacted me and told me that something happened to Huaiyuantang and Zhang Tie.  He hoped that I would go home. My father knew that Zhang Tie and I had known each other on Qianlong Island, and wanted me to go home to comfort Zhang Tie. After receiving the notice and news from my father, I hurried back to Huaiyuantang.  " Lan Yunxi said while holding back her sadness, and then looked at Elder Murray, "If Elder Murray asked me this, does he mean he doesn't believe what I said before?"nbsp; Elder Murray sighed, "I don't dare. It's just that in the past two months, major events have happened in Huaiyuan Hall one after another, and the removal and expulsion of the Supreme Elder is not a trivial matter. All the elders hope to sort out the details, lest we in Huaiyuan Hall  If you do something that hurts your loved ones and makes your enemies happy again, I hope the family leader will be cautious about this matter." "Zhang Tie killed my eldest brother and deposed the family leader privately, which is incompatible with our Yiyang City. Today I am here to represent Yiyang.  Say a word to the city lineage. If Zhang Tie is not deposed and expelled today, and I, the Yiyang City lineage, are given an explanation, we, the Yiyang City lineage, will stand on their own as Huaiyuantang. Even if Zhang Tie can cover the sky with one hand, our Yiyang City lineage, from the old age  When you are young, the most indispensable thing is your backbone" Zhang Taibai spoke in a deep voice, while Lan Yunxi remained silent.  All the elders were stunned. Lan Yunxi and Zhang Taibai were forcing the palace. They used the entire Yiyang City lineage as a bargaining chip to force the elders to make a decision. If everyone here does not stop and expel Zhang Tie today, the entire Huaiyuan Hall will be affected from now on.  It will fall apart.  The faces of all the elders showed a look of struggle. Today's situation in Huaiyuan Hall can only force everyone to choose between Zhang Tie and the Yiyang City lineage, but the Yiyang City lineage is Huaiyuan Gong Changfang Changmai  , the heads of Huaiyuantang are also from the Yiyang City lineage. If Yiyang City stands on its own, then Huaiyuantang can be said to have ceased to exist This is the biggest crisis in the history of Huaiyuantang, and it is also a decision to make Huaiyuan.  At the crossroads of the future of the church, at this time, no matter what decision the elders make, whether they give up Zhang Tie or give up the Yiyang City lineage, someone will definitely poke their spines and scold them in the future.  Seeing the expressions on the faces of the elders, Elder Mu Yuan sighed and took out a letter from his arms, "Elders, this is a letter from Elder Mu Shen to everyone. Elder Mu Shen contacted me yesterday.  , has voluntarily resigned from the position of Supreme Elder of Huaiyuantang, and is leaving Huaiyuantang to set up his own business" Elder Mu Yuan handed the letter in his hand to Elder Mu En next to him, and asked all the elders to pass it on.  This letter is the letter of separation between Zhang Tie and Huaiyuantang. The handwriting on the entire letter was written by Zhang Tie with his own blood.  After reading Zhang Tie's autographed letter, the elders had mixed feelings. Zhang Tie seemed to have expected such an incident, so in order to prevent Huaiyuantang from falling apart and not making things difficult for the elders, he became the leader of Huaiyuantang.  *****, Zhang Tie resigned from the position of Taishang Elder, cut off from Huaiyuantang, and wanted to establish his own family In Taixia, friends are cut off, and righteousness is cut off, and if someone in the family wants to establish his own family  , to sever ties with the family is to pierce blood and cut off ties.  By doing this, Zhang Tie not only maintained the dignity of Huaiyuantang, but also shouldered all the responsibilities and reputation alone.  Lan Yunxi looked at the letter and turned paler.  Zhang Taibai glanced at Lan Yunxi, and he saw an extremely complicated emotion in Lan Yunxi's eyes At the same time, when the elders of Huaiyuantang were discussing things in the ancestral hall, in the quiet  In the Sinong Mansion of Zhoucheng, Zhang Yang looked at the map of the unsold areas of Youzhou spread out on the table. He held a pen in one hand and drew a large circle on the map, covering the large area between Golden Crow City and Zhulong Ling.  The blank area is included. This piece of land is connected to several counties. It already occupies less than half of Youzhou "That's it. I want it all" Zhang Yang drew a circle and then  , turned around and said calmly to Elder Lu, who was currently in charge of the affairs of the Sinong Mansion.  "Ah, this area is more than 30 million square kilometers, you want it!" "I want it!" Zhang Yang nodded, "The money is not an issue, I hope the Sinong Mansion can complete the procedures as soon as possible!  " Finally, Zhang Yang left the Sinong Mansion with the respect of the Lu family elders.  When he walked out of Sinong Mansion, Zhang Yang raised his head and glanced at the clear sky. For some reason, at this time, Zhang Yang didn't feel much disappointed in his heart, but felt a sense of complacency.  From today on, we two brothers will truly be the masters of the family and build a ancestral temple.  ¡­ As soon as Zhang Yang left Si Nong Mansion, the elder of the Lu family who was in charge of the affairs of Sinong Mansion hurriedly arrived at Baihu Terrace.  At this moment, Lu Dingzhi, who was wearing the robe of a governor, was in the newly renovated study room at Baihu Terrace, reading quietly. After receiving the notice from the family elder asking for a meeting, Lu Dingzhi asked the family elder to come in and listened to what the family elder said about what had just happened.  Again.  Lu Dingzhi lowered his head and looked carefully at the map of Youzhou where Zhang Yang had drawn lines. After a while, he raised his head and said to his elders, "It seems that the Zhang family brothers are going to set up their own business!" "Then we  "What else?" Lu Dingzhi sighed.??Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie are the richest people in the world, and buying land is reasonable and legal. What reason do we have to stop him!  " The elders of the Lu family looked at the large block of Youzhou drawn on the map with some reluctance, "But if this happens, Youzhou will become the Zhang family's clan. Whoever becomes the governor of Youzhou in the future will not be able to do so.  It depends on the look in the eyes of the Zhang Tie brothers!  " "Do you think we won't look at the Zhang brothers now?  Lu Dingzhi laughed at himself, "Do you know how many demon earth knights Zhang Tie killed on the banks of the Weishui River? A Youzhou governor and an earth knight are nothing in front of Zhang Tie. If Zhang Tie doesn't nod, what do you think?"  Why can I replace Zhang Taixuan as the governor of Youzhou?  Mr. Cheng chose me. One of the reasons is because I can do things as well as Zhang Taixuan. The more important reason is because I understand the rules better than Zhang Taixuan. I have a sense of proportion and know what should be done and what should not be done" "Is it that legend?  It's true, Zhang Taixuan was" the elder of the Lu family whispered. "This is a family matter in Huaiyuantang. In any case, don't mention it again in the future. A governor of Taixia died, and Xuanyuan Hill didn't even ask.  Acquiescing to the Zhang family's argument, Zhang Taixuan's body was cremated directly without being inspected. What can outsiders like us say, to avoid getting into trouble? True Lord Qianji is bright and magnanimous, and is by no means a tyrannical and unprincipled person. Please pass on the order.  , from now on, the children of the Lu family are not allowed to discuss this matter. If I find out, I will be severely punished" After speaking, Lu Dingzhi's face became serious. "Yes" Elder Lu bowed and said.  Get Zhang Yang's affairs settled as soon as possible and give him the best deal. There is no need for us in the Lu family to be such evildoers!  "    "OK!  " After the Lu family elder left, Lu Dingzhi wandered in the study for a while, and called another Lu family elder. "I heard that Zhang Tie has a nephew studying in Youzhou Official School?  " "Yes, that person's name is Zhang Chengan, and he is Zhang Yang's son!  " "She must be about the same age as Wanqing!  " "Same age" Lu Dingzhi looked at the family elder. He didn't say anything, just twitching his beard and smiling. The family elder suddenly understood, "I know, let's make arrangements" "This matter must be kept secret.  The resources of the Lu family are at your disposal. Wanqing is smart and will cooperate. The more natural this is done, the better" The elders of the Lu family stepped back. Lu Dingzhi shook his head, looked towards Zhulong leader, and finally sighed.  In one breath   On June 21st, Zhang Tie and Huaiyuantang broke up with each other and resigned from the position of Supreme Elder of Huaiyuantang. By the evening, the news that the Zhang brothers were going to set up their own business had spread almost throughout the entire Northeast.  Governor's Mansion  (To be continued.)
