Zhu Li has rarely fought with people since he was thirty. After all, he is in the officialdom and is backed by the clans. He is appreciated and valued by the Zhu clan leader. The resources he can mobilize are beyond imagination. No matter how difficult the matter is, he can handle it with just one order. There is nothing worth his own action.

So in recent years, no one knew what level of Zhu Li's martial arts skills had reached. Although Du Mingyu was mentally prepared, he still held his breath in an instant when facing Zhu Li's pressure. His heart seemed to be beaten by a huge hammer with a thousand pounds of hammers, and his hands and feet were bound to the spot, and he was unable to move.

But Du Mingyu could do it. He stepped on his feet slightly, and his strength rose from the ground, his energy sinks into his dantian. He swung his right hand forward, his long sleeves flew forward, his mind was graceful, and he stepped back three steps like flowing water. Finally, he got rid of Zhu Li's aura, his whole body immediately loosened, and a few sweat marks oozed out of his vest.

"Otherwise, the millions of Taoist people in Tianshi will not forget the stab that Zhu stabbed in the back!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Li laughed to the sky, stood up slowly, and said, "Go back and tell Du Jingzhi that the murder he committed in Yongning County will be settled with him one day sooner or later. Xi Yuanda's death is just a reminder."

Yongning County was under the rule of Yongjia County. Zhu Li, as the prefect of Yongjia, had the responsibility of herders to maintain peace. The Liu clan of Yongning County was destroyed by Xi Yuanda's deer pill scheme. Zhu Li was forced by the situation at that time and could not be stopped. When the offensive and defensive momentum is now exchanged, how could he not beat the dog in the water?

"Furthermore, the Tao of Heaven is the only way for all people in the world. How dare Du Jingzhi, a native chicken and a dog, regard the Tao of Heaven as a treasure?"

Du Mingyu said coldly: "This is impossible to reach an agreement, so I will say goodbye!"

He turned around and left. Zhu Li suddenly gave Zhu Cong a wink. Zhu Cong was stunned and understood it immediately. He deliberately used a voice that Du Mingyu could hear and said, "The two countries will fight to fight and don't kill them, why don't I give him a gift?"

Zhu Li seemed to have not yet subsided, and after a while, he groaned and said, "Go!"

Zhu Cong quickly chased him to his side and smiled and said, "Mr. Du, please!"

Du Mingyu looked calm and bowed: "Please!"

When the two left, a girl in red walked out of the side door. She was only sixteen years old and had a very beautiful appearance. Her eyebrows were lightly swept, her teeth and red lips, and her eyes were as bright as jade. She squatted beside Zhu Li, gently pinching her thighs for him, and said, "A father, although Brother Ziming is good at studying and wise, she is not sophisticated. If you ask him to negotiate with the people of Tianshidao, will it be..."

Zhu Li was spoiled and touched her long hair, saying, "Zi Ming was jokingly called a book on both feet. He is not a nerd who only knows how to study hard. If Ah Father wants to say that he is actually smarter and sophisticated than many people in this world, but you are still young and can't see through these..."

The girl in red grabbed Zhu Li's long beard without hesitation, wrinkled her nose, and said coquettishly: "Father, you underestimate others!"

Zhu Li shouted oh, saying, "Be gentle, my father's beard is very weak, but it can't withstand your shaking like this..."

"No, why don't you tell me how worldly my elder brother is? Let me see if I can let you go!"

"Okay, I say, I say!" Zhu Li had to surrender in order to protect his long beard, and a playful look flashed in his eyes, saying, "For example, just now, he knew that Du's surname was Gongsun Zidu, who started from Zheng State, but he pretended not to understand. Why? It was because he was met by him when he was reading "Zuo Zhuan". With his knowledge, as long as he looked at him from a distance, he immediately knew that I had read Zhuang Gong for fourteen years and Gongsun Zi was about to die, so he understood this allusion. Asking me for advice was just to deliberately please me."

"Ah?" The girl in red blinked, and a hint of incredible appeared on her beautiful face, and she said, "I still think that brother really doesn't know..."

"Two-legged books, two-legged books, and there are no thousands of books in your heart. Who can call this title?" Zhu Li smiled and said, "Zi Ming is a talented person. As your uncle's eldest son and your eldest brother, he will definitely be the leader of Zhu's clan. It is better to be more worldly than to be worldly. But..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that my mind is not broad enough, my vision is also inferior. I like to show off my cleverness, but it's worse than Zi Yu."

Zhu Rui seems vulgar, but in fact he is generous and decisive in his work, he can be called both wise and brave, and is loved by the gang members of the family. On the contrary, Zhu Cong likes to be crafty and scheming, and is more scheming than the cunning of literati. Most of the people gather around him are counselors and jesters. The two have different personalities and form their own factions and can still be at peace at the moment, but in the future, the sphere of influence of both sides will be expanded to overlapping areas, and family civil strife is just around the corner.

"Hmph, the sixth brother knows how to bully people. How can we be as gentle and well-educated as the eldest brother!" Zhu Li pointed to her nose and said, "Zi Ming is polite, Zi Yu is martial, and the two are walking in different ways. The eldest brother always said that the future of this world will definitely be the world of literati, but don't forget that our Zhu family has relied on force to dominate the Three Wus and stand firm..."

Zhu Li's eldest brother Zhu Ren is the contemporary sect leader of the Zhu family. His martial arts skills are not as good as the third Zhu Li, his demeanor is not as good as the second Zhu Yi, his wisdom is not as good as the fourth Zhu Zhi, and his bravery is not as good as the fifth Zhu Xin. However, he has been the sect leader for thirteen years and everyone has admired him and his reputation has been resounding throughout the world. With his unique vision and wisdom of knowing people. When many powerful sects are still obsessed with the glory of the past, he has already keenly realized that the Chu emperor An Zidao will purge these private armed clans. Yixing Xu is a bloody example, and this world will become a world of scholars in thirty or fifty years!

Therefore, he was determined to seek change. Starting from Zhu Cong, he invited many great scholars to teach their knowledge at home, striving to change the Zhu family from a strong martial arts sect to a strong cultural sect. But just like all changes, his approach caused controversy within the family, especially in recent years, controversy turned into confrontation. When confrontation became hostile, the consequences were really unpredictable.

The girl in red seemed to understand, but she was smart by nature and keenly noticed the contempt and distrust that Zhu Li showed when talking about Zhu Cong. She hesitated and said, "Father, do you prefer Brother Six more?"

After leaving the house, Zhu Cong and Du Mingyu followed the path to the Fuchun River. A boat was tied to the shore, reeds swaying, the north wind was howling, and people were missing on the river. There were only a few peaks, looking at the vast sky in the distance.

"I am the only one who is in charge of the situation. I don't know whether to speak or not. If I talk about it, I am afraid that I will speak in a very deep way. But I can't bear to see you in a desperate situation and not know it..."

"My husband is finally willing to call me Zhengzhi!" Du Mingyu sarcastically said, not impatient, and could not speak with politeness. He was very calm and said, "If you have anything to say, please speak frankly!"

Zhu Cong was angry. Although Zhengzhi in Yangzhou's Zhidao should not be underestimated, no matter how it is, it is only a title within the Tianshidao, not a court enthronement, nor appointment by the court. What can I be proud of?

"According to the news from Jinling, the Lord received a report from Qiantang and was furious at the court meeting. He had ordered the Sili Mansion to investigate the case. You also know where the Sili Mansion is. In the past few years, no case can be done. In other words, Du Jingzhi is about to be ruined. Why do you have to sit on this wreck with him as a talented person?"

Du Mingyu remained silent.

Zhu Cong knew there was a show and continued, "Du Jingzhi was arrogant and arrogant. It was extremely stupid to say such things to my third uncle. I can assert that if Du Jingzhi was bound to leave within a month, it was still between whether he could save his life. Zhengzhi must not be a foolish person who is loyal and filial..."

"I am loyal to Hunyuan and filial to the Heavenly Master. I have always only admired Du Jijiu. How can I say loyalty and filial piety?"

"I'm the one who made a mistake!"

Zhu Cong's patience had reached its limit. He smiled coldly in his stomach and said, "How can there be a complete egg in the vast nest? Du Jing's evil deeds are so bad that he can't even write. After all, the two Zhengzhis in Yangzhou, the five spiritual officials cannot escape. But I know that Zhengzhi is different from them. You have good intentions in your actions in Juzhang County. Although you took over the property of the King of Juzhang's family by using the deer and deer jelly, it did not hurt people's lives. It is understandable. Let's clear it up in the court. I dare to promise that the Lord will not pursue it again!"

Du Mingyu didn't say anything for a long time, and stood by the river, his face suddenly changed. After a while, he sighed: "Yangzhou Zhi is the result of the efforts of the Heavenly Master. If it is destroyed by the Jijiu, I will be really unwilling to accept it."

"That's the truth!" Zhu Cong lowered his voice and said, "When Du Jingzhi left his seat, the throne of Yangzhou Zhiji's priest will be empty. If Zhengzhi is interested, we Zhu family can do our best."

Du Mingyu did not comment, so he got on the boat and ordered the boat to open the boat. He stood on the bow and waved to Zhu Cong, saying, "Twenty days later it will be the next Yuan Festival. I will set up a vegetarian ceremony in Wu County to help me resolve the misfortune. If the man has free time, he might as well come to Wu County for a lecture."

The Xiayuan Festival is the morning when the water officials resolve the disaster, and it is also a major festival for the Heavenly Master Dao. Zhu Cong heard the string song and knew the meaning of elegance, and said happily: "I will definitely go to the appointment!"

"Do you like Brother Six more?"

Zhu Li's face became gloomy. The girl in red was a little scared and said timidly: "Daughter shouldn't ask..."

"There is nothing to ask or not, even your uncle knows that I really like Ziyu a little more. His temper, character, ideas and methods of doing things are very suitable for my taste. It's just a pity that Ziyu is not the eldest son..." Zhu Li's eyes were drawn to the door, rubbing his hands on his long beard, and murmured: "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, but I don't know who Zheng is Uncle Zheng, and who is Gongzi Duan..."

Watching the breeze leave, Zhu Cong turned around in the village, and met a girl in red halfway through, and smiled and said, "Lingbo, who has messed with you, why are you angry?"

The girl in red is named Zhu Lingbo. She is the seventh woman of Zhu Li. She is also the youngest among the Zhu family generation. She is very cared for by many brothers. When she heard this, she stared at her beautiful eyes and said, "Who else! Of course it's you!"

Zhu Cong said inexplicably: "I'm so stupid, why did you provoke you?"

"It's you, it's you, get out of here, I'm going to go out!"

Zhu Cong was pushed aside by Zhu Lingbo and shook his head. He was not sure, but the joy of reaching a secret agreement with Du Mingyu overshadowed everything. Regardless of why Zhu Lingbo was in a bad mood, he went to see Zhu Li to discuss it.

Zhu Lingbo looked back and felt depressed. The last sentence Zhu Li said was taken from the allusion of "Spring and Autumn Annals". Zheng Bo is also Duke Zhuang of Zheng. He and Prince Duan were brothers. Because of the conflict between the throne, Duan Zhuang won. In the end, Duan Zhuang won, and Prince Duan fled to Gongyi. When Zhu Li didn't like to read, he must not understand these things, so he didn't avoid anything when whispering, but Zhu Lingbo happened to listen to this story while he was playing in the clan, so he felt chill.

Who is Zheng Bo and who is Gongzi Duan?

Although Zhu Lingbo was willful, he was very smart. After hearing Zhu Li's words today, many things that were ignorant in the past were immediately thought clearly. Zhu Cong seemed loyal and honest, but in fact he was cunning. If even Zhu Li supported Zhu Rui openly and secretly, in the near future, Zhu Cong would definitely fight back. It is probably not a blessing for Zhu's family to fight against each other with his brothers.

Can't we be together peacefully and happily like when we were young?

Can power really destroy family affection and blind men like the eldest brother and sixth brother?

No, I want to meet my sixth brother and tell him not to argue with my eldest brother!

Zhu Lingbo did whatever he thought of, went to the stable to pick up her favorite little red horse, packed a few pieces of clothes and bags, and galloped northward.

When Zhu Cong saw Zhu Li in the room, his feet were a little unstable, but he still held back his pride and said, "Uncle San, Du Mingyu has the intention to replace him and invite me to participate in the Xiayuan Festival."

"Xiaoyuan Festival?" Zhu Li frowned and said, "Xiaoyuan Festival is twenty days later, and that is the critical moment for Silifu to investigate the case. Will you attract their attention when you appear rashly?"

Zhu Cong seemed very confident and said, "It's okay, I'll go to worship the water officials, justify it, and then find a suitable opportunity to meet Du Mingyu, so I won't be stupid enough to mess with Sili Mansion."

He finally couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Du Mingyu is really a villain. He just made a statement in front of his third uncle. People who didn't know what to do would think he was Du Jingzhi's confidant. I didn't expect that, I just said a few words and let him turn against each other, ha!"

Zhu Li smiled slightly, stroked her long beard, with a leisurely expression and didn't say much. However, Zhu Cong felt it, suddenly stopped his smile, and said in confusion: "Uncle San, am I wrong?"

Zhu Li sighed and said, "Is Du Jingzhi a fool?"

Zhu Cong shook his head and said, "Du Jingzhi, who is a sacrificial sacrificial priest in Yangzhou for many years, has been as stable as a rock, and no one dares to move. If he is a fool, wouldn't others be even a fool?"

"That's it! Du Jingzhi is not a fool, so of course he understands that the current situation is already a critical moment. Put yourself in the shoes of Du Jingzhi, would you send someone to Zhu's family to show off their power and intimidate them at this time?"

Zhu Cong was shocked and said, "Yes, he either didn't send anyone to endure this anger, or compromised and admitted his mistakes. He would never be as arrogant and domineering as Du Mingyu. Not only would it be useless, it would also anger us and make the situation even more uncontrollable... The third uncle's meaning is Du Mingyu, he..."

"If I expected it was not bad, all Mingyu's words were fabricated by him, not Du Jingzhi's original intention."

Zhu Cong opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of disbelief, and said, "Why did Du Mingyu do this?"

"It's very simple, because Du Mingyu wants Du Jing to die faster, and the throne of Yangzhou Jijiu can also change his master soon. He came to Fuchun this time to seek our help. He made all kinds of moves before, but he just went back to advance and hung up his bait to fish."

Zhu Cong looked ashamed and said dejectedly: "Uncle San, if it weren't for you, I would be complacent and self-righteous. Unexpectedly, I felt ashamed when I fell into a trap set by others in advance."

Zhu Li stood up, walked to the door, stopped, and said lightly: "Ziming, you must know that it is useless to be the leader of the Zhu family and flatter me. You have to show your ability to convince everyone. Du Mingyu's trap is so simple and naive, can you really not see it?"

Zhu Cong became frightened and said, "Uncle San, I..."

Zhu Li didn't give him a chance to speak and said, "You actually saw that Du Mingyu came to seek cooperation, but he deliberately pretended not to know. If you can use such a trick in the future, it would be better not to use it."

After Zhu Li left, Zhu Cong slowly leaned on the back of the chair. The shame and fear on his face disappeared in an instant, becoming cold and terrifying. After a while, he raised his head and his eyes were filled with an extremely firm light.

For the future of Zhu, I can do anything,

Can become anyone,

Sometimes, for a noble purpose, I can do whatever it takes!
