Few clan members know that the clans of the Cheng and Xing families are actually connected.
Underground of Cheng’s Zhongben Hall, there is a secret underground passage that is sealed and never used. To the north is Luoyang, to the west is Xiangyang, to the east is Songjiang, and to the south is Lin’an. If one day the two families are really in danger of annihilation, they can only have a goddess scatter flowers and scatter all the family seeds.
Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yunzhi hurried on and finally arrived in front of Zhongben Hall. Suddenly, they saw the sky in the distance suddenly light up.
“Heaven…” Xing Yuanzhi’s face suddenly turned pale, “Heavenly Tribulation Fire?”
In the family circle, the two strategic weapons carried on the Jingwei mothership are not a secret. One is the high-energy laser transmitter “Three-legged Crow”, and the other is the cluster bomb system “Tianjiahuo”. The latter can fire 100+ mother bombs at a time, and each mother bomb contains more than 13,000 high-explosive incendiary bombs, enough to turn every inch of land in the center of Pukou District into a sea of flames.
Because the mother bombs are bulky and numerous, they adopt the mode of a ballistic missile: adjust the firing angle, boost the engine, enter a fixed trajectory and then shut down, reach the target and detonate. When launched, the tail engines of all the mother bombs are ignited simultaneously, and the concentrated lumen produced is enough to illuminate the surrounding area into daylight for an instant even at night.
At the top of the Chongbentang building, the current head of the Cheng family, Cheng Benhe, stood there leaning on a cane. Next to him was the head of the Xing family, Xing Shuhe. Two fifth-grade superpowers stood side by side, looking at the sky-breaking fire missiles that were rapidly approaching from the southern sky.
“Uncle He.” Cheng Benhe finally said, his voice a little weak, “From now on, Jinyang will be left to you.”
“Okay.” Xing Shuhe said.
In just a few words, the Tianjiehuo missile had already quickly crossed a distance of more than 30 kilometers, broke through the clouds and entered inertial flight, shooting down from the sky above the Yangtze River. The target was the Cheng and Xing families in Pukou District!
Uncle Xing gave a low shout, his thoughts concentrated in an instant, and he completed a large number of calculations in an instant.
Mass Effect. Qingming Realm!
It is unrealistic to use superpowers to lock missiles that reach Mach 20 or above, and can only provide large-scale coverage on their only path.
The one who is blue is the blue sky. The ancients said that “the clear ones are light and rise, and the turbid ones are heavy and fall.” The so-called Qingming is a collection of light air, which also symbolizes the reduction in quality.
Relying on the huge inertia, a large number of Heavenly Tribulation Fire missiles rushed into the “Blue Underworld” field, and their mass was greatly reduced in an instant. Under the action of air resistance, the speed also dropped sharply.
Cheng Benhe braced himself, and after they slowed down, he immediately locked on all the missiles and quickly activated their special abilities.
Gravity. Triple string!
The gravity of these missiles tripled instantly, and their direction was pointed diagonally upward due to north. So they took an extremely thrilling parabola over Pukou District and flew towards the northern sky again.
Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yunzhi below saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were also a little scared and sighing.
This is the significance of a fifth-grade strongman to the family: as the blood concentration crosses the medium, the superpower itself will also undergo a qualitative leap.
The size of the gravitational force can be adjusted, multiplying the gravity of the mass source several times or reducing it to a fraction; the adjustment range of the mass effect has also been greatly expanded, and any mass source can be reduced to a minimum value close to 0, or doubled. to tens of thousands of tons.
If there were not two fifth-grade clan leaders, it is estimated that the family would really be doomed this time!
Cheng Jinyang raised his head again, just as Cheng Benhe’s eyes fell on the roof. The two looked at each other for a moment. The latter seemed to want to say something, and his lips moved slightly.
Then he fell backwards.
Cheng Jinyang:? ? !
He quickly rushed into Chongben Hall with Ah Zhi, and saw that Cheng Benhe had been transported down and was being rescued in the nearby medical room.
After a while, cousin Cheng Yuexian also returned to Chongbentang. When he saw Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yunzhi staying outside at a loss, and the light at the door of the medical room was on, he immediately understood something and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, the door of the medical room suddenly opened, and the head of the Xing family, Xing Shuhe, came out, nodded to Xing Yunzhi next to him, and then said to Cheng Jinyang:
“Mr. Cheng is awake… hurry up, he doesn’t have much time.”
Everyone rushed into the medical room and saw the nurse busy in front of the equipment. The second uncle and the third uncle were already standing nearby. Cheng Benhe, who was fully intubated, was lying on the hospital bed and looked over with turbid eyes.
“Where is Cheng Huaiyan?” Third uncle Cheng Qingping frowned and took out his cell phone when he saw that his son hadn’t come back yet.
Just as he was about to make a call, he heard someone outside shouting “Come on, come on”, and then Cheng Huaiyan and Xing Junmo rushed in.
“We’re all here, let’s get started.” Second uncle Cheng Qingyuan said expressionlessly.
Cheng Benhe spoke slowly, and Cheng Qingping put the loudspeaker to his mouth and turned the volume to the maximum.
“Starting from today.” The old man’s voice seemed to have been polished by sandpaper, as if a candle in the wind would be extinguished at any time, “The Cheng family in the capital of God, the position of clan leader…”
“…Leave it to Cheng Jinyang to take over.”
For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world had gone silent. Cheng Jinyang stood there in confusion, his mind filled with thoughts of “who am I”, “where am I”, and “what am I going to do”.
Why did the old man use a big move to save the tribe, but suddenly his health failed? Do you want to pass the position of clan leader directly to yourself? Isn’t this too sudden? ! !
“Personnel affairs…” Cheng Benhe continued to say with difficulty, “Three-room assistant…”
Cheng Qingping nodded.
“Financial…Second room agent…”
“Okay.” Cheng Qingyuan whispered, and Cheng Yuexian called out “Grandpa” in a low voice from behind, and was speechless anymore, crying secretly.
“But… everything needs to be decided by the clan leader.” Cheng Benhe turned his eyes to Cheng Jinyang, and moved the fingers of his left hand slightly, “Come…”
“Go.” Cheng Huaiyan pushed slightly from behind.
So Cheng Jinyang walked up to Cheng Benhe and wanted to say something, but was completely unable to speak.
“Jinyang…” Cheng Benhe seemed to have lost sight, his eyes turning stiffly.
“Grandpa.” Cheng Jinyang shouted in a low voice.
“The family…from now on…” Cheng Benhe closed his lips, breathless, “…I’ll leave it to you.”
“Yeah.” Cheng Jinyang hesitated for a moment before saying, “But I don’t know if I’m qualified.”
“Do your best… and listen to fate…” Cheng Benhe finally said before he was dying, “No matter… what lies ahead, whether it is good or bad…”
His eyes suddenly opened wide, as if he was draining the last bit of strength from his body:
“…Take everyone and go down…”
Then the old man stopped moving.
The heart rate trace on the instrument also became a straight line and began to beep.
In the medical room, the atmosphere froze for nearly half a minute, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Then Cheng Qingping said:
“Let’s bury him, there’s not enough time.”
The two nurses nearby quickly brought a body bag and carefully put Cheng Benhe’s body in it.
Looking at Cheng Jinyang who was stunned next to her, Xing Yunzhi was about to say something when her uncle’s hand was already on her shoulder.
Uncle Xing shook his head at her and motioned for her to follow him and leave, leaving the remaining time to the Cheng family.
After the two people left, the remaining people looked at each other. Finally, Cheng Yuexian wiped away her tears and said:
“Let me tell you.”
She came to Cheng Jinyang’s side and explained in a low voice:
“Actually, grandpa’s physical condition had been deteriorating for a long time before you were naturalized and returned to the clan. That’s why he stayed in the hospital and hung up his life.”
“After he returned to the clan, during the month you were away, grandpa’s health deteriorated day by day. He supported his illness and completed most of the handover matters. All the children of the Cheng family who opposed you also They have all followed my uncle to defect to the Longxiang Army and start another lineage.”
“So the people who stay in the clan are basically the clansmen who recognize you as the clan leader. You don’t have to worry about being opposed or ignored…”
“That’s not what I meant.” Cheng Jinyang was silent for a while and said, “Why has no one ever told me this?”
“In the past month, you just went to Luotang to receive tasks every day. After completing the tasks, you returned to your residence in Wujiang Town. You never asked Grandpa or us before returning to the clan, right?” Cheng Yuexian sighed quietly.
“Grandpa said that because you were away from home since you were young, you lacked family bonds with everyone and even had estrangement from the family. This is normal. It’s just that he doesn’t have much left in his life, and what should be left to you will eventually be left to you.”
“Say it in advance, I’m afraid you won’t agree.” Cheng Huaiyan added briefly from behind.
“Do you think I will agree if you suddenly notify me now?” Cheng Jinyang laughed dumbly, with a very complicated expression on his face.
“At least now is the time you are most likely to agree.” Second uncle Cheng Qingyuan sighed.
“If you don’t agree, there is nothing we can do.” Third Uncle Cheng Qingping added, “But in this case, the Cheng family in the divine capital will inevitably be removed from the gentry clan in the future and become a humble commoner. Most of the clan members will also have to Dismiss them on the spot and let them find another way to make a living.”
“We don’t want to force you to do anything.” Cheng Yuexian finally whispered, “Originally, after things were settled step by step, grandpa planned to take some time to have a long talk with you. It’s just that this time the Longxiang Army attack Sudden……”
“I understand.” Cheng Jinyang interrupted her, “The mental shield here has been broken, and Pukou District will definitely not be able to hold it. Let’s take the underground pipeline train first and send the remaining clan members to the southern city. , we’ll talk about the future later.”
“Okay, I’ll organize it.” Cheng Huaiyan nodded quickly and immediately went out with Xing Junmo.
“Is the situation in the urban area okay? Can you confirm?” Cheng Jinyang tilted his head and asked.
“Currently, only the relay station in Pukou District has been destroyed.” Second Uncle Cheng Qingyuan said, “The force field arc over the urban area is still strong for defense, but it is still dangerous in the long run. You can consider taking this opportunity to evacuate the tribe directly to Lin’an… …”
“No.” Cheng Jinyang rejected his suggestion, “If we evacuate directly to Lin’an, in the eyes of the imperial court, it would be equivalent to the Cheng family fleeing from the capital of God without a fight. In addition, grandpa has passed away, and being removed from the gentry is an inevitable result. .”
“The tribesmen who have no fighting capacity can be evacuated to Lin’an, but before that, we must negotiate with the court to reach an agreement. I will do this. Third uncle, you can select the corresponding tribesman list for later use.”
“Yes.” Third uncle Cheng Qingping nodded in agreement.
“I can’t think of any other urgent matters at the moment.” Cheng Jinyang rubbed his brows, “If you have no other opinions, everyone should go out first and go to the entrance of the ground network to prepare for evacuation.”
As early as when Cheng Yuexian asked you to spare Cheng Yizhou’s life after the war, you should have thought: If you were not the clan leader at that time, what qualifications and rights did you have to spare the other party’s life?
