Doomsday Rise

Chapter 889, Xingjiang Road

Xingjiang Road. 【-Hand-typed version of the novel】

Ten out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and this sentence is also true when applied to the Lu family. The Lu family is a wealthy family in the north, and has always been said to be the most wealthy family in the north. Lu Jingjiang rises in the south again, one south and one north, complementing each other, symbolizing the real growth of the Lu family, from a provincial to a national nation. However, just when the Lu family was making great progress, Ye Rongxiu cut him in half with a knife.

If Ye Rongxiu doesn't move, it will be fine, but if he moves, it will be thunderous. The Lu family's influence in the north was almost uprooted, and the trees fell and scattered, leaving only a few unsuccessful branches lingering on. Ye Rongxiu also knew that it was impossible to wipe out a large family that had been entrenched in the place for nearly a hundred years in one go, so he gave a way of life to the Lu family's troops going south, which was actually a secret way of encircling three people without one. A small number of the children of the Lu family were scattered around the world, and most of them defected to Lu Jingjiang.

There are more than a dozen Dao in other provinces, but Xiangshui Province only has five Dao. As the Dao leader, Lu Jingjiang has great power. After the fall of the Lu family, his branch has become the head of the Lu family. Like a beacon in the dark night, it continuously absorbs the arrival of the scattered Lu family children.

The Lu family is a local wealthy family, and many of its descendants are elites. Their arrival has greatly enriched Lu Jingjiang's strength and made his prestige rise step by step. But beneath this glory, there are hidden dangers.

Lu Jingjiang was a concubine, and a concubine from a side branch.

The Lu family uses Black Moon Province as its base camp, and the most outstanding disciples stay in the base camp to operate. The base camp has the best resources and connections, which can continuously push him to a high position. Ordinary people entering the officialdom start from the lowest level as village officials. When the children of the Lu family become officials, they start at the lowest level of the town, such as deputy town mayor, county magistrate secretary, etc. Civil servants with no identity background start from the bottom and work hard. As long as they don't make any mistakes and their abilities are considered to be above average, it basically takes 30 years to reach the position of mayor. If you want to go one step further to become a Taoist master, you won't be able to accumulate time. You will need luck and connections.

It takes an average of 15 years for a child of the Lu family to reach the position of mayor, and the highest record is 11 years. That is a direct lineage of the main line of the Lu family, and they have become Taoist masters in the 14th year. He took charge of the political party and became the youngest Taoist master in Black Moon Province. This record has not been broken yet.

Lu Jingjiang has performed extremely well since he was a child, but because he is not the main line, he does not enjoy many resources. Especially after he was competing for the position of deputy director of the Finance Bureau and was kicked out by a mediocre main line disciple based on his connections, he became angry. He left for Xiangshui Province and lost contact with his family.

After that, he seemed to have cheated. With his own strength, he rose from scratch, from low to high, to the position of deputy mayor, which took 10 years. This is without using any resources of the Lu family. In this comparison, Lu Jingjiang is better than the most outstanding children of the Lu family.

The upper echelons of the Lu family finally noticed Lu Jingjiang’s excellence.

In addition, the Lu family has encountered a bottleneck in Black Moon Province, and it is urgent to expand outward. The appearance of Lu Jingjiang just provides them with the best choice. After repairing the relationship, a large amount of resources were directed towards Lu Jingjiang. It took 2 years to become the deputy mayor, and then another 3 years to complete a step that many people cannot complete in their lifetime. The carp jumped over the dragon gate and stepped into the position of Taoist master.

Before the end, Lu Jingjiang was appointed deputy governor of Xiangshui Province and Xingjiang at the age of 48

Taoist master, became one of the most powerful people in Xiangshui Province.

Lu Jingjiang spread his wings in Xiangshui Province and became a mainstay, but the head of the Lu family was uprooted. One high and one low, the situation has already been reversed. The main line defected to Lu Jingjiang, bringing with it a large amount of resources but also posing an unsolvable problem to Lu Jingjiang: who is in charge.

The butt determines the head, and the power determines the status. Logically speaking, in the territory of Xingjiang Road, one would naturally listen to Lu Jingjiang. In fact, this principle would not work in a big and wealthy family.

The reason why a big family becomes a big family is because there is a set of rules within the family to make the family power continue to grow. With the main line as the core, seniority as the permanent outline, and power from top to bottom, from the inside out, only in this way can the prosperity of a family be guaranteed to last for generations.

Lu Jingjiang was of lower generation, a side branch, and a commoner. This meant that even though he had great power, he still had little say in the Lu family.

The Lu family's mansion, which covers an area of ​​more than 20 acres, looks very unusual among high-rise buildings. The tallest building in the mansion is only three stories tall. It adopts the style of ancient garden architecture, with beautiful environment and fresh air. If it weren't for Lu Jingjiang's power, it would have been impossible to grant such a large piece of land in the power center area of ​​Xingjiang Road.

And these, in the eyes of the senior executives of the Lu family, are taken for granted.

Passing through two courtyards and then passing through a long corridor, you arrive at the core of the Lu family, the meeting hall. When Lu Jingjiang walked into the door, she found that almost all the people were here, including the top brass, main lineage, and some outstanding branches of the Lu family.

There are 3 great-grandfathers, 11 grandfathers, and more than 20 uncles. Lu Jingjiang did not dare to neglect, and stepped forward one by one to salute and say hello. Not many of his peers could enter the meeting hall. Excluding some who were too far away or who were in important positions and couldn't get away, there were only 16 people. The next generation There were five people in the group, so he didn't need to greet them one by one. After nodding, he walked to his seat and sat down.

"Everyone is here, the meeting can begin." The person presiding over the meeting was Lu Jingjiang, a grandfather. Lu Jingjiang couldn't remember exactly where he was. He only knew that his name was Lu Qingping. He was in politics when he was young and made mistakes. Use the family's power to escape. I went into business and lost a lot of money. My life can be considered a failure. But he couldn't stand it. He was the main line and one of the most beloved grandsons of the head of the family at that time. He turned a blind eye to his failure and recalled him to the family to manage the family industry. After that, it has been mediocre until now. There is no big mistake, but there is no contribution.

Because Lu Jingjiang came too late, so many people were waiting for him alone, Lu Qingping's tone was filled with a hint of imperceptible displeasure.

"I called everyone here today because there is a big event. This matter is related to the success or failure of our Lu family, so we have to be cautious." The person who stood up to speak was Lu Jingjiang's second grandfather, Lu Yihong.

Because of an accident, the eldest grandpa lost his life when a meteorite exploded while taking a spaceship to the earth. Now Lu Yihong is respected among the grandpas.

Everyone's hearts tightened. Every child of the Lu family was very sensitive to the six words 'related to the success or failure of the family', because the last time these six words were spoken, it was when Ye Rongxiu took action against them.

The Lu family in Noda fell apart. If it hadn't been for its profound foundation, it would have almost been wiped out. The memory is especially deep.

Lu Yihong took out a piece of paper and put it on the coffee table. His voice was emotionless: "This is sent by the Demon King of Black Moon Province. He asks our Lu family to surrender to him, otherwise, the Lu family will be exterminated!"

"Arrogant!"

"Be bold!"

"He dares!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a roar in the meeting hall. Even though the Lu family was not as powerful as before, the background was still there. The majesty and arrogance of the big family still existed. How could anyone be so demeaning. However, behind the anger is inner uneasiness. After going south, because the memory of Black Moon Province was so bad, many people consciously ignored the news there. However, Xingjiang and Black Moon Province are adjacent, and a lot of news continued to be passed on. Although they had never seen the horror of the Demon King. , but also knew that the power of the Hunshi Demon King far exceeded that of the Lu family occupying Xingjiang Road.

Although the words of the Demon King are unpleasant to hear, they are really not arrogance. If the Demon King wants to deal with the Lu family, the Lu family cannot stop the Demon King's blade.

"Cough——" Lu Yihong snorted softly, and the hall fell silent. Lu Yihong was not sharp, but he looked at everyone with a very oppressive gaze: "It's a mess, how can you behave properly? Pay attention to your identity!"

The people in the hall were blushing and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Lu Yihong's eyes softened a bit: "I asked you to come here, just to express your opinions. Come one by one, and everyone has a chance to speak. Third child, you come first."

"Putting aside the issue of face, let's take a look at the Demon King. He is cruel to his enemies, but he treats his own people well. If we can use his power, our Lu family's power will definitely grow further." Lu Jingjiang's third grandfather is old-fashioned and arrogant. rushed.

As soon as this statement came out, many people frowned. As a member of the Lu family, they are very unwilling to succumb to others.

"The Demon King's fighting ability is unparalleled. We have no chance of winning in a head-to-head fight. But his biggest certainty is that there is a gap in management talents, which happens to be our strength. If we can cooperate, it will be of great benefit to both of us." Lu Jingjiang's fourth grandfather road.

"I agree with what the third and fourth children said." Lu Jingjiang's fifth grandfather said. The three of them must have lowered their tone. Others understood what they meant, and their subsequent speeches were basically inclined to surrender. Of course, the nice thing they said was cooperation.

Only five or six people abstained and did not speak.

"Jingjiang, why didn't you say anything?" Fang Qingping noticed that Lu Jingjiang had been quiet since he came in and sat down.

"The Demon King wants us to surrender, not to cooperate. Everyone must understand this. Our status is not equal, which is destined to greatly restrict our rights after we pass." Lu Jingjiang put down the surrender letter and ignored her grandfather. The older man looked unhappy and looked around at everyone: "If I were the Demon King, the first thing I would do after conquering the Lu family would be to have the Lu family resist Liu Wei'an's Ping An expeditionary force. Since it can test the loyalty of the Lu family, it can also consume the Lu family. The strength of the Lu family." Lu Jingjiang's voice deepened: I wonder how much everyone thinks the Lu family needs to pay to win the trust of the Demon King? "

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed. Lu Jingjiang's guess is not nonsense. On the contrary, the possibility is almost 100%.
