Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

No more chance for Zhu Li to speak.

After Chen Nuo served tea and sent the guests away, he left, and the maid bowed and asked Zhu Li to leave.

There was no choice, Zhu Li had to leave with a belly full of anger.

Backyard.

Chen Nuo was lying on a recliner, and next to him was Hong Ye, who was holding snacks in her hand and feeding them to Chen Nuo's mouth.

Next to him, there were two maids waving fans, bringing a slight breeze.

"Husband, don't we join the Poison Valley?"

Chen Nuo explained, "We have the capital now. If we join the Poison Valley, we can only go one way to the end. At that time, the Poison Valley will not take us seriously."

Ning Hongye nodded, "Husband is right, but, husband, since ancient times, when two tigers fight, it is the wolf next to them who dies first. It is not easy to take advantage of the fisherman."

Listening to his wife's admonition, Chen Nuo smiled, "Is Hong Ye advising me?"

Ning Hongye was stunned, and then realized that he should not interfere in these matters. Just as he was about to apologize, he was held by Chen Nuo.

"Hongye is right. Under normal circumstances, fence-sitters are the first to die."

Ning Hongye did not say the word fence-sitter, after all, it was not nice to hear, but Chen Nuo had nothing to be shy about, so he said it directly.

"But we are not fence-sitters. We have decisive strength, and this is not a fight between two tigers. Remember Cheng Wang?"

Cheng Wang.

Ning Hongye certainly knew.

After Chen Nuo came back, he told them what happened in Panyu County, and that Feng Lao Yu and her master behind her naturally knew about it.

"I received some of her power in the southern border and found that King Cheng had already designed means in the central and southern parts of Hexia County, especially the central part, which shows that he has coveted it."

"Moreover, King Cheng is a royal family. If he wants to fight for the dragon, how can he not conquer the world? Therefore, Hexia County, where the base camp is located, he must get it."

"As for the Poison Valley and the Medicine King Valley, I don't believe they don't know."

"In this case, how can you say that it is a fight between two tigers?"

"Even without me, King Cheng is not something they can easily solve, so there is room for negotiation."

"However, there is actually one thing I am very curious about. Why has it always been the Poison Valley that has been causing trouble in the southern border, and never the Medicine King Valley?"

Chen Nuo muttered to himself.

Ning Hongye looked thoughtful, "Is it possible that Yaowang Valley is in contact with Cheng Wang?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"I don't know much about this, but I've seen the map. For example, the sphere of influence of the Poison Valley is larger in the southern border and narrower in the northern part, while the Yaowang Valley is just the opposite."

"In this case, it is normal for Yaowang Valley to contact Cheng Wang more frequently, just like the development of the Poison Valley to the south."

After listening, Chen Nuo was stunned for a while.

Geopolitics.

That makes sense...

"Hongye, you are really my good wife."

Chen Nuo smiled.

Ning Hongye lowered her head slightly and said nothing.

As for whether Zhu Li would give up his goal, the couple thought he would not.

...

Zhu Li, who returned to the room, had a gloomy face and suddenly coughed a few times, bloodshot.

It seems that the weakness of the body will not be recovered for a while.

"Damn it!"

Zhu Li was venting his emotions in the room a little out of control, knocking over some tables and chairs.

But no waiter came up.

There is no way.

There are too many people in the martial arts world during this period, smashing chairs and so on is a common operation. Fortunately, these people dare not run away and eat a free meal.

After a while, the noise stopped, and then the waiter came up to ask the situation, "Do you need anything, sir?"

"No, I will compensate you later, get out."

"Okay." The waiter was not annoyed, and left with a smile.

After sending the waiter away, Zhu Li lay on the bed, feeling a little distressed.

Outside the door, a group of disciples surrounded the waiter, "How is it? How is it?"

The waiter did not speak immediately, but stretched out his hand and handed out silver coins one by one, which fell into his hand.

Only then did he say, "Don't worry, I am a little depressed and irritable, but I am still quite rational. Don't say anything unlucky after you go in, and you should be fine."

The disciples relaxed a little.

The oldest female disciple took the lead and secretly leaned against the door, trying to eavesdrop.

The other five people followed suit and leaned over and squatted.

In the room, Zhu Li was still thinking about how to make Chen Nuo agree.

As for other grievances, they can be ignored in the face of such a big thing.

Moreover, the so-called grievances were originally caused by her...

Although, she would not think so.

"Why didn't he agree?"

"Are the conditions very harsh?"

"Isn't this all mutually beneficial?"

"..."

After thinking for a while, she chose to recall what Du Lao said.

After a long time, Zhu Li's face returned to normal.

At this time, she glanced at the door and snorted softly.

...

As expected.

The next day, Zhu Li came again.

"Elder Zhu is here again."

"General Chen, I'm sorry, my attitude was problematic before, and I sincerely apologize to you here."

As he said, he handed over a gift in his hand.

Chen Nuo did not comment.

"General Chen can give some opinions on the conditions mentioned yesterday, and I can see if they can be modified."

Zhu Li said so.

Chen Nuo nodded slightly, "We can send our children to study in the Poison Valley, but I will not join. As the patriarch, I am not suitable to join other forces. Please understand."

"In addition, there is no need to mention the dispatch of elite troops to threaten the Medicine King Valley. The remaining three counties in the southern border are what I don't want to take."

After listening to what Chen Nuo said, Zhu Li's expression did not change much. He just nodded silently and thought about it.

After a long time, "The conditions proposed by the general can be agreed, but I hope we can sign an alliance and not invade each other. Your expansion range cannot go north. The three counties will be regarded as buffer zones. In exchange, the trade route to the central part of our Poison Valley will be opened to the Chen family."

Hearing this, Chen Nuo's eyes lit up.

This is the best condition at present, and it is also the most suitable condition.

Chen Nuo nodded directly.

Afterwards, the two of them wrote something on black and white paper and pressed their handprints.

Of course, there is no compulsory effect.

But before the balance is destroyed, everyone will tacitly follow the alliance.

Moreover, in this era, these covenants are still more important, second only to the oath of heaven and earth and those oaths made by relatives.

After all, there has not been a major incident here that affects the moral values ​​of the world by pointing at someone and farting...

Of course, if you really want to destroy it, you can always find a reason, but at least you will find a way to do it, and you won’t be so blatant.

"We will be allies in the future. I hope that Patriarch Chen can send the first batch of disciples to leave with me as soon as possible."

"Well, you can, but what kind of treatment will my Chen family children receive when they go to the Poison Valley?" Chen Nuo asked.

Zhu Li thought for a moment and said, "My Poison Valley is divided into five veins, spider, toad, scorpion, ground snake, and palace gecko."

"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, the Scorpio vein is the most prominent. The current valley master is the vein master of the Scorpio vein. He is in the internal organs realm and is the easiest to get out of the internal organs realm."

"Then the four veins are equally high and low. Basically, they all have the skills to break through the internal organs realm, but they are all difficult, and can even be considered as non-existent..."

Zhu Li shook his head, "As for the treatment and levels of my Poison Valley, they are divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples."

"True disciples are treated the most generously, but each vein has a quota for recruiting disciples, which is related to the strength of each vein."

"By the way, I am actually the vein master of the spider vein."

After speaking, Zhu Li looked at Chen Nuo, "The treatment depends on the disciples provided by your Chen family. It is fair and impartial. The strong will naturally be the inner disciples, or even the true disciples. The weak can only be the outer disciples, or even be expelled."

It was within Chen Nuo's expectations.

However, I have to fight for some benefits for my family. Besides, I beat the spider vein master like this, so she doesn't bear grudges?

That's a lie!

Women don't bear grudges? Haha.

So...

"I wonder if Elder Zhu has heard that my Chen family started out as a medicine company."

?

"I've heard that the nobles are kind-hearted and admirable."

Zhu Li said perfunctorily.

"Then Elder Zhu, have you heard of the black gold cream and the cooling liquid?"

"Also, our latest developed Zhuyan powder."
