The beautiful figure at the door was none other than Han Ya.
Han Ya's face was gloomy, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger and killing intent. She had heard the news when she first entered the Middle Border City, so she didn't even go with Mao Xiaoyi's team. Instead, she rode home quickly.
When everyone saw Han Ya, they quickly got up and saluted her. Han Ya had a high status in the Han Family, not only because she was Han Zhengshen's daughter, but also because she was very talented in cultivation and was a disciple of Mount Tianshan.
Back then, Han Ya was recommended to Mount Tianshan by the academy as the first place. Every New Year, Han Ya's strength would improve by leaps and bounds, which amazed everyone.
"Father." Han Ya didn't say a word. She bypassed everyone and came to Han Zhengshen. Then she said coldly, "I've heard about it. Let's continue the meeting!"
Han Zhengshen was very pleased to see his daughter like this. She was smart enough to take over his position and become the next Patriarch of the Han Family.
"Okay!" Han Zhengsheng didn't talk nonsense and immediately said, "Come on, get a chair. Everyone sit down and continue the meeting!"
Soon, everyone sat down. When Han Ya also sat down, Han Zhengshen frowned and asked seriously, "Ya, you said there is another way. What is it?"
Yes, this was what everyone was concerned about. They wanted to know if there was a way to restore their reputation without killing their enemies.
Han Ya frowned and took a deep breath. Then she looked around and said coldly, "Seize the position of the City Lord!"
"What?!" Han Zhengshen was shocked and looked at his daughter in shock.
Not only him, but all the people present gasped and looked at Han Ya in disbelief. They never expected that Han Ya could say such a thing.
However, Han Zhengshen quickly calmed down. Although he disagreed with Han Ya, he still said in a low voice, "Go on!"
"Killing the culprit can cure the root of the problem. But if the enemy is determined to hide and let the Han Family's reputation be damaged, when can we solve the problem?" Han Ya frowned and said coldly, "But if I become the City Lord, it will be different. At that time, I will dominate the Middle Border City. Not to mention the silk trade, I can also develop rapidly in other fields."
Han Zhengshen frowned as he heard this, but did not say anything.
Seeing this, Han Ya did not stop. Instead, she continued, "Actually, in my opinion, even killing the culprit may not be the best way to solve the root of the problem. If someone dared to attack the silk shop, it meant that there was someone else with the guts to do so. No matter what, his reputation will definitely be damaged, unless he becomes the City Lord! "
Han Zhengshen raised his head and looked at his daughter with a heavy expression. He said in a deep voice, "Little Ya, you have to know the rules left behind by our ancestors. Hide your strength and bide your time. Don't participate in the City Lord's competition for a hundred years! Your grandfather also said that no matter whether the person who fights for the position of City Lord succeeds or not, they are all losers. Only those who don't fight are the winners! "
That's right, this was the Han Clan's ancestral teachings. It was precisely because of their 'non-competition' and 'non-participation' that the Han Family had been able to survive through countless changes of City Lords. In the past hundred years, no one thought that the Han Clan would be able to compete for the position of City Lord.
"But now, even if we don't fight for it, there are still people coming to deal with us!" Han Ya furrowed her brows and said coldly, "The rules aren't set in stone, and this matter isn't as simple as the enemy being jealous of our business! Father, Mao Xiaoyi and I returned to Middle Border City together. Did you know that Mao Xiaoyi was ambushed on the way?! "
"What?" Han Zhengshen was shocked when he heard this. He looked at his daughter in disbelief. One must know that the Mao Family's program was exactly the same as the Han Family's. They also didn't fight for the City Lord's position!
Han Ya didn't hide anything and simply recounted what had happened on the way. With Han Ya's words, the expressions of everyone around the long table became more and more shocked.
"This matter is definitely not that simple." Han Ya said coldly, "Someone wants to deal with the Han Family and the Mao Family at the same time. This means that they want to kill us."
When her voice fell, the hall suddenly fell into a dead silence.
No one dared to speak because the matter had reached this point. Even most of the people here had lost their right to speak.
After a long time, Han Zhengshen took a deep breath and looked at everyone with a dignified expression. Then, he said in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance. I have to discuss it with the Mao Family before making a decision."
Everyone heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. With Han Zhengshen making the decision, their burden was much lighter.
Soon, after Han Zhengshen informed them of a few things to do next, the meeting was adjourned. Everyone started to move and split up to deal with the matter of the silk trade. They also had to protect their other businesses from being harmed. When Han Zhengshen and Han Ya walked out of the house, Han Zhengshen saw a youth sitting in the pavilion in the garden.
The youth's back was facing him, so he could only see the youth's back. However, from the youth's back, this youth seemed to be somewhat different.
This youth's sitting posture was straight, and his spine wasn't as soft as the others. However, more importantly, this sitting posture wasn't deliberate or pretentious. It made people feel that it was very ordinary.
One must know that this was the garden of the hall. Those who could enter this garden were the core members of the Han Family. There wasn't a single youth here.
"Who is he?" Han Zhengshen frowned and asked his daughter.
"He is my Junior Brother." Han Ya revealed a rare smile and said coldly, "He is also a disciple of the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain."
"Is that so?" Han Zhengshen was obviously stunned. He looked at the youth again and asked doubtfully, "So young?"
"Don't be fooled by his young age. He is very strong." Han Ya nodded and said, "He sent me all the way back from the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain. Father, you can also meet him."
"You should meet him. Being a disciple of the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain is enough to treat him as an equal!" Han Zhengshen wasn't a pedantic person and didn't care about seniority. He immediately said, "Let's go. Take me to see him!"
Soon, the two of them arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the garden. At this moment, Lu An also sensed that someone was coming. He stood up and turned around, just in time to see Han Ya and Han Zhengshen walking over.
"Lu An." Han Ya brought Han Zhengshen to Lu An and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is my father, Han Zhengshen."
Lu An was stunned. He quickly cupped his hands and bowed. "Junior greets Senior Han."
"If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Han. Calling me Senior is too old!" Han Zhengshen smiled and waved his hand. "I heard from Little Ya that you are also a disciple of the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain. The younger generation will surpass us in time!"
"Senior, you flatter me," Lu An said politely.
"Since you are here, my Han Family will definitely treat you well and have a good New Year!" Han Zhengshen smiled and looked at Han Ya. He said, "I'm going to the Mao Family now. He will be in your care. You have to be a good host and don't neglect him! "
Han Ya smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
With that, Han Zhengshen hurriedly left. Han Zhengshen's face was filled with unconcealable seriousness. Lu An turned to look at Han Ya and asked, "How is it?"
"It's difficult." Han Ya shook her head and said with a frown, "Both my family and the Mao Family are in trouble. I'm afraid the two families are in a mess now."
Lu An nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although he had never been in such a large family clan, he could empathize with the current state of the Han family.
"What about you?" Lu An asked in confusion. "Senior Sister, are you not going to help?"
"I'm not around all year round. Even if I want to help, I don't have any connections." Han Ya shook her head slightly and said, "Besides, you didn't hear what my father said just now. My task is to be a good host."
Thinking of this, Han Ya looked at the time and said, "It's already noon. With the family in such a mess, there probably won't be any good food. I'll take you out to eat something delicious. You must have never eaten the specialties of our nomads. "
