If he wasn't in charge of an army, he would be in an important position in the court.
Xiamang Guanyu held his mother's arm and slowly walked into the hall. The place was already filled with people.
According to the rules of the family banquet, Xuanyuan Anshui wouldn't be able to sit at the main seat. However, today, the emperor had ordered him to sit at the main seat.
"Third brother, quickly take a seat!" Seeing that he was about to bow, Concubine Anshui quickly waved her hand and interrupted him.
Jian Wushuang sat at the side with his cousins.
In such a banquet, the surface was the most useless.
In less than two hours, everyone dispersed. The people of the Xuanyuan family also entered the secret room in the backyard.
Apart from the Five Tigers of Xuanyuan, there was also the patriarch, Xuanyuan Pan, and several old ancestors with frightening seniority.
In total, there were ten rank 4 Monarchs, one rank 5 Monarch, and a strand of Jian Wushuang's hair.
"This time, Anshui is here as well. The opportunity for our Xuanyuan family to rise is right in front of us. I'll just say it!" Xuanyuan Pan looked around with a gloomy gaze.
In his opinion, the Xuanyuan family's position wasn't very stable. Although they had Xuanyuan Anshui, the head of the imperial harem, she wasn't the empress and didn't have enough power.
His sons were all very outstanding. He was very gratified that all of them had power in their hands.
However, strength was the key. What he needed was a rank 5 Monarch to inherit his position. Once he fell, everything would be as transient as smoke.
"Father, are you going to participate in this war as well?" Marquis Calm Sea asked worriedly.
He had just returned when he heard about the matter of Mora. The border was like a battlefield with battles happening every day.
Before he returned, one of the three great generals of the empire, General Gu Tong, had already led an army of a million to the border of Mora.
The war had escalated to a point where it couldn't be stopped.
There would definitely be a war. It was just that the man in the imperial palace was choosing people.
Now, it seemed that their Xuanyuan family was chosen.
They had been too high-profile in recent years. It was normal for them to be chosen.
Xuanyuan Pan smiled and said, "Choosing our Xuanyuan family is within my expectations. You don't have to worry about that. When the time comes, Second Brother and Third Brother will come with me. Eldest Brother will take care of the family. Also, Fourth Brother is in seclusion. If there's nothing important, don't disturb him."
"Fourth Brother is in seclusion again. Could it be …?" Marquis Calm Sea revealed a look of surprise.
The Patriarchs sitting in the main seats spoke up at this time. Their voices were hoarse as they said, "The fact that two of you are going is already giving face to that person. Our Xuanyuan Family's prosperity cannot end in this era. “
When the Patriarch spoke, even the current Patriarch, Xuanyuan Pan, had to bow and listen.
"On the day of the expedition, come and pay your respects to your ancestors. You can have a heart-to-heart chat with your family. We old fellows will be heading back first." With that, the Patriarchs disappeared.
After the Patriarchs left.
Only Xuanyuan Pan, his third brother, and his five children were left in the secret chamber.
After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan Pan revealed a cold expression on his face.
"All of you have to remember that your achievements today can't be separated from the family. This time, I'm afraid it's the Patriarchs!" At this point, Xuanyuan Pan couldn't help but lower his head as tears welled up in his eyes.
When he was weak, the Patriarchs took care of him meticulously.
At that time, the Xuanyuan family was just a small family. When he caused trouble outside, it was either his third brother who helped him or the Patriarchs who cleaned up his mess behind him.
Now, the Patriarchs were all on the battlefield for the sake of a few juniors.
That Emperor's expedition this time wasn't just to attack Mo Luo, but also to weaken the nobles.
Yesterday, the palace sent a secret letter saying that the Xuanyuan family would send at least five direct Imperial Emperors. It was fine if Xuanyuan Pan didn't go.
If he didn't go, none of the five would return. If he went, he could still save one or two.
As the mountain of the Xuanyuan family, he could only brace himself this time.
When Xuanyuan Anshui heard this, his eyes were filled with anger.
The Imperial family was the most heartless. This was her family. Her brothers had risked their lives to serve Great Xia. Now, they wanted to eliminate them.
There was no mercy at all.
"Shui 'er, you mustn't be angry with that person. Our Xuanyuan family isn't afraid of war. If we didn't fight back then, we wouldn't be where we are today. Don't worry, I'll bring them back safely!" Xuanyuan Da Pan was very confident. His identity was not simple. He was also a member of the Kui Organization. This time, he had received orders from above to attack Mo Luo. He must advocate for the war against Mo Luo.
He was a Rank 2 Elder and was considered a core member. However, he didn't know much about the Kui organization. Even the White Sovereign didn't know much about its secrets.
Most likely, only that deity knew about it.
Then, they began to discuss the expedition to Mo Luo.
At the border, there were four huge cities. There were countless military camps outside. The Xuanyuan family would go to the Fourth City. It was the most intense battlefield. It had just been built and the death rate was high.
It was said that more than a hundred Imperial Emperors had fallen there.
Jian Wushuang was about to fall asleep. He was bored and was prepared to destroy the strand of hair. He didn't expect Xuanyuan Pan to mention him, or rather, Xiamang Guanyu.
"Shui 'er, have Guanyu come to my room later. I have some matters to discuss with him!"
Xuanyuan Anshui was surprised. He didn't expect his father to look for Xiamang Guanyu.
"There's something strange about this kid. He might have secretly joined the Kui organization. His status might not be low." Xuanyuan Pan was puzzled.
When Xuanyuan Anshui heard this, his heart sank. He hurriedly said, "Guanyu actually …"
At the same time, in the imperial capital, a dark shadow seemed to have been drawn over.
A flock of crows spread out and landed in various residences.
Many residences were like the Xuanyuan family. They were discussing in secret rooms. However, many of them mentioned at least half of the Kui organization.
If these people knew that half of the imperial capital was a traitor, who knew what they would think?
Jian Wushuang was leisurely. The Kui organization couldn't do anything to him. However, these people were different. They were either greedy, brainwashed, or had something that the Kui organization could use against them.
This time, he didn't eavesdrop on the Xuanyuan family's conversation just to learn some secrets. He also wanted something else.
Soon, Xuanyuan Pan began to talk about the auction.
The expedition to Mo Luo would most likely take place after the auction.
The auction was very important, so the Xuanyuan family would naturally go and purchase some items.
"Father, I've already prepared a hundred billion godstones. You can mobilize them at any time!" Xuanyuan Ancheng took out a mustard seed and handed it to his father.
A hundred billion godstones was the limit for these large families.
After deducting ordinary expenses, it was already good enough that they could save so much.
