Seeing that the moon had already set to the west, Han Xiaoran finished the wine in front of him. His body was a little shaky, and he said, "Little brother, it's not early anymore. From today onwards, your life will be stormy … It's better for you to rest early. What a surprise! "
Chu Yang laughed and turned his thoughts back to the Chu clan. He thought, What's the situation in the Chu clan now?
Han Xiaoran stood up and patted Chu Yang's shoulder. He seemed to be a little drunk, but Chu Yang knew that he wasn't drunk. With Han Xiaoran's alcohol tolerance, he wouldn't be drunk even if there were dozens of jars of wine, let alone this much wine.
But often, the words spoken when one pretended to be drunk were the true insights. Since Han Xiaoran behaved like this, there must be something important that he wanted to tell Chu Yang that was inconvenient to say when he was sober.
So, Chu Yang immediately pricked up his ears.
Han Xiaoran was drunk and laughed loudly. Then, he lowered his voice and leaned his whole body on Chu Yang's shoulder, as if he was too drunk to stand … Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan put their arms around each other's shoulders knowingly and whispered at one side.
Han Xiaoran leaned close to Chu Yang's ear and laughed softly. He said, "Brother, there's no other choice in this world. No matter if you want to do good or do evil, you need power. And all these require power and influence. As long as you have fame, you can have influence. With influence, you can have power. Only when you have power, you can have people to rely on. That's why you have power! "
"If you want to do good, but you don't have power, then don't talk about helping others. You don't even dare to marry a beautiful wife; Because you can't protect her. Marrying a beautiful wife is just waiting to be cuckolded!"
"If you want to do evil, but you don't have power, you can only be a model … If you have power, even if you kill someone in front of the Dharma Supreme, the Dharma Supreme will also turn a blind eye … Just like Ye Wubo, isn't he evil? Haha, but today, even I can only watch him leave. Punishing him with ten thousand purple crystals is just a small gesture … Everyone, do you want face? Ye Wubo has done too many evil deeds in his life. He should have died a hundred times! Don't I want to kill him? Don't I want to catch him? But he has power behind him, the Ye clan! "
"This is called being helpless!"
"So what if your chest hurts from holding it in?"
"So, little brother … in this life, you must not be helpless … Don't be as helpless as this old brother … The laws of Heaven are the most sacred things. I hold them in my hands, but I don't dare to kill them … Uh … if there are scruples about the law … then what kind of law is this?"
"If you also feel helpless … then you will feel helpless … so, entering this life, in order to not feel helpless … we have to do something, we have to do something … something that can make us feel less helpless …"
Han Xiaoran laughed, "Isn't this also a kind of helplessness?"
He let go of Chu Yang's shoulder, and roared as he left. He laughed all the way, "Helpless ah, helpless ah! His body disappeared into the thick darkness of the night amidst the 'helpless' sound of his voice.
Chu Yang stood there in a daze. He pondered over the meaning of these words for a long time. Then, he slowly turned around and walked back. Before he left, he didn't say goodbye to Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan.
Since Han Xiaoran told him in this way, his meaning was obvious: Don't let Sha Xinliang know about it.
"Why don't I let him know?" Chu Yang asked himself.
"Because Sha Xinliang doesn't have such courage," Chu Yang answered himself.
"Then what did he mean? Did he just say that he felt helpless? "
"No, he told me that I have to build up my own strength and influence first!"
"But he already said that just now."
"What he said just now was to build up everyone's influence. Not my influence. "
"My influence, what is my influence?"
"My influence is the influence that I can completely make decisions for myself."
"This kind of influence is different from what he said just now?"
"Of course it's different, because this is the real backup plan that Han Xiaoran has arranged: Once everyone's influence fails, there must be a completely independent influence left."
"So, although Han Xiaoran has planned this operation thoroughly, he still isn't confident?"
"Yes!"
"So he reminded me that although he's the leader now, I can't rely on him for everything?"
"Yes, I need to have my own plans."
"Rely on yourself for everything! This is the real meaning of what Han Xiaoran wanted to say! "
… Chu Yang walked all the way back to the Chu clan silently.
When Chu Yang reached home, it was almost dawn.
But the Chu clan was still in a busy and sorrowful state.
Chu Yang was caught by his mother, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and interrogated. After dealing with his parents, he was called by his grandfather for another round of interrogation.
"Is it you?" Chu Xiongcheng looked at his grandson blankly, and his eyes were red. Chu Yang realized that half of his grandfather's hair had turned white overnight.
"It has something to do with me," Chu Yang said frankly, "But it wasn't me who did it."
Chu Xiongcheng let out a long sigh and sat on the chair wearily. He waved his hand and asked Chu Yang to go back and rest. However, he seemed to have lost all his strength and didn't want to say a word … Chu Yang sighed, bowed and turned to leave.
"I … can guess what he's done all these years; Although I don't have any evidence, I've always been suspicious …" Chu Xiongcheng said softly when Chu Yang was about to leave the room.
Chu Yang paused.
"But I didn't do anything," Chu Xiongcheng murmured.
"Because he's still your flesh and blood," Chu Yang said quietly, "I can understand you, but I can't agree with you. And I won't agree with you! "
"That's because you're still young, and you haven't been a father," Chu Xiongcheng said sadly.
"Maybe." Chu Yang was silent for a while, and said, "But even if I'm a father, I won't allow an unfilial child to cause another obedient child to be wronged and persecuted."
Chu Yang said lightly, "It's good for a son to be filial; but a filial son doesn't mean that you'll allow him to be wronged indefinitely."
Chu Xiongcheng sighed deeply, "A bowl of water isn't full."
"But it's also because of this that the Chu clan has always been in a half-dead state, and hasn't improved for so many years." Chu Yang said, "As the clan master, you're not just a father. You don't have the right to let thousands of people in the clan die for an unfilial son!"
After saying that, Chu Yang walked out of the door without looking back.
Chu Xiongcheng sat beside the coffin, motionless under the oil lamp. After a long time, his tears fell silently, and he sighed, "But even if I'm wrong … I'm still a father …"
The next day.
In the morning.
The Chu clan, which was busy with the funeral, welcomed a distinguished guest!
The law-enforcement officer of the South-East region, Han Xiaoran, entered the Chu clan in a high-profile manner!
The local law-enforcement hall was escorted by 80 law-enforcement officers, and Commander Sha Xinliang cleared the way. The law-enforcement auction hall was escorted by Clan Master Qin Baoshan, and all the members of the law-enforcement blood-payers hall were following behind. Han Xiaoran entered the Chu clan with a great momentum and shook the entire Flat Mountain Ridge. He made an agreement with the clan master of the Chu clan, Chu Xiongcheng, and gave the Chu clan the right to escort goods.
Then, a few law-enforcement officers spread the news and issued orders to various places. They even reported to the top clan in the South-East region, the Xiao clan, immediately. This was equivalent to Han Xiaoran declaring to the Xiao clan: In the future, the Chu clan will be under my protection! Please let go of the Xiao clan. For the sake of the law-enforcement officers, please give me face!
Han Xiaoran's cultivation was definitely not the highest in the South-East region!
Even in the Xiao clan, there were many people whose cultivation was higher than Han Xiaoran's.
However, Han Xiaoran's identity was directly under the Dharma Supreme, the law-enforcement officer of the South-East region! This identity was like that of a governor of the border! Who dared to disrespect him?
The Chu clan had the backing of the entire South-East law-enforcement officers and the Dharma Supreme!
Therefore, no matter how unhappy the Xiao clan was, they could only accept it for the time being.
At the same time, Han Xiaoran sent out news to the Elders of the Liao clan and Bao clan, as well as the temporary Elders of the Xiao clan, to rush to the Chu clan and announce the dominant position of the Chu clan in the Flat Mountain Ridge!
They even killed seven elders of the Liao clan and Bao clan who dared to disagree with them. They used their blood to show their determination to bring the Liao clan and Bao clan into the Chu clan's territory.
"If there's any problem with the goods, both of you will be held responsible!" Han Xiaoran's words completely stopped the Liao clan and Bao clan from having any devious thoughts.
The ruthlessness of the law-enforcement officers, Han Xiaoran's heartlessness, and the silence of the Xiao clan made the Liao clan and Bao clan feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Han Xiaoran sat coldly on the high platform, full of murderous intent. Beside him, the law-enforcement officers from the Law Enforcement Hall, the Law Enforcement Auction Hall, and the Law Enforcement Blood-Payers Hall all had murderous looks in their eyes.
Obviously, as long as the two clans dared to say no, they would be exterminated!
Under the threat of survival if they nodded, and death if they shook their heads, the two heads of the Liao clan and Bao clan could only sign this inexplicable contract with tears in their eyes.
This was really a disaster that fell from the heavens … Moreover, they couldn't figure out the reason at all.
Since ancient times, there had been many annexations by aristocratic clans, but it was the first time that law-enforcement officers came out to help annexation. They really didn't know what kind of luck the Chu clan had to encounter such a thing that fell from the heavens … Subsequently, Han Xiaoran announced that Chu Feiling, Chu Feiyan and Chu Feihan from the Chu clan would be the commanders of the caravan. And they were awarded the flag that represented the South-East law-enforcement officer on the spot!
This action showed that Han Xiaoran was trying his best to support the Chu clan. It was obvious that he was trying his best! He wanted the Liao clan and Bao clan to give up completely.
Subsequently, Qin Baoshan represented the Law-Enforcement Auction Hall to pay the Chu clan a deposit of 3,000 purple crystals!
This made everyone's jaws drop: All along, it was the caravan that paid the Law-Enforcement Auction Hall as a deposit, and after the goods arrived safely, the deposit would be returned to the Law-Enforcement Auction Hall after it was confirmed that there was no mistake.
But now, the Law-Enforcement Auction Hall actually paid the deposit first? There was such a saying?
Finally, Han Xiaoran expressed his deep condolences for the death of the second master of the Chu clan, Chu Feilong, and said, "The murderer has been found, and the Law-Enforcement Hall has punished him. The murderer is willing to pay 8,000 purple crystals as compensation to the Chu clan …"
