That night, the Su family's old house was full of lights and festoons, and it was very lively.
There are ninety-three families in Liemen, among which there are six families with a threshold of nine inches, twelve families with a threshold of seven inches, thirty-four families with a threshold of five inches, and forty-one families with a threshold of three inches.
Coupled with the high-status Jiulong family, the total is finally over one hundred.
According to the records of Liemen, after the last peer alliance ceremony, there are a total of 247 families in Liemen, most of them are in China, and a few are abroad.
However, the past hundred years coincided with unprecedented changes in the entire world. Not only did the number of the Hunter family drop sharply, but the distribution was also very different from before.
Of the 93 existing Liemen families, there are only 32 in China, and 61 in foreign countries.
Therefore, to participate in this peer alliance ceremony, most of the representatives sent by each family traveled a long way, and they all reserved a day or two for the journey.
As it turned out, the journey went smoothly, and at this moment, the man had already settled down in the Su family's old house.
Cao Yusheng and Cao Mian, father and son, are currently in Lin Shuo's house, reporting today's reception to the leader of the hunting gate:
"Seventy-six hunters arrived today, and I have also contacted the others, and they will arrive tomorrow morning." Cao Yusheng held a purple clay pot in his hand and said solemnly, "It seems that this session of the peer alliance ceremony, There are so many people here. Even the Jiulong family will be here tomorrow."
"The Nine Dragons family? Haven't you heard of it?" Wei Xingshan asked with two panda eyes.
Wei Xingshan has no place to sleep tonight, so he plans to make do with Lin Shuo's living room.
His two panda eyes are not the kind of people who haven't slept well, but black and blue from being beaten.
No one here asked who made the call, and there was no need to ask.
In fact, Wei Xingshan's messy things in the Red Desert, although many people knew about them at the time, after returning, they all tacitly kept their mouths shut and never chewed a word.
Especially in front of Liu Qing, everyone tried not to mention the serious business in the Red Desert as much as possible, so as not to be led by Liu Qing.
Since Jin Wenlan came to the Su family's old house, she has been obediently staying in the residence assigned to her, and has basically never met Wei Xingshan.
Liu Qing, after asking a few people to no avail on the first day, she stopped mentioning this matter.
Lin Shuo also sent a message, Jin Wenlan and the child in her womb, and the subsequent arrangements have been made.
Well, it's actually over here.
The matter was over, but Wei Xingshan couldn't help feeling ashamed.
The less Liu Qing said about it, the more flustered this kid was.
The past few days have been full of fear, and last night, Liu Qing took him to see the house she had arranged before.
How is the living room, how is the bedroom, Wei Xingshan looked and listened, his heart was overwhelmed, but he finally withstood it and did not collapse.
In the nursery, Liu Qing was in high spirits and spoke very carefully.
What will happen to boys and girls in the future, how big the bed will be, where to put it, what color to match the curtains, and where to buy wallpaper.
Old Wei listened, but couldn't hold back any longer, knelt down with a plop, slapped himself and told the story.
Anyway, later on, it was Anne and Cao Mian who hugged the waist and the thigh and pulled together, so that Liu Qing could not let the house be burned down.
Lin Shuo didn't know what happened between Liu Qing and Wei Xingshan in the middle of the night last night, and he didn't want to ask.
In short, tonight, Lin Shuo saw that although Wei Xingshan was kicked out by Liu Qing and had two panda eyes, he was full of energy and relaxed, and the leader of the hunting gate secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
This matter seems to have finally passed.
At this time, Lin Shuo heard Wei Xingshan ask, "What is the origin of the Jiulong family?"
"The Liemen family, which is in charge of monitoring the nine different species, is also called the Nine Dragon Nails." Lin Shuo explained, "It has a long history and can be compared with the Yun family. It has a detached position in the Liemen."
"Then, does the Patriarch of the Nine Dragons Family have the same status in the Hunter Gate as you, the leader of the Hunter Gate?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"It's almost the same." Cao Yusheng said, "The Patriarchs of the six families of Liemen are called Chiefs within the Liemen, and the Patriarch of the Lin Family is called Chief Chief.
And the Patriarch of the Patriarch of Liemen Nine Dragons is called Longtou.
According to the rules of Liemen, each leader is above the leader and only slightly lower than the chief leader.
Now, the nine leaders of Liemen are not involved in the internal affairs of Liemen, and are only responsible for monitoring alien species.
But before the Tang Dynasty, these nine leaders participated in the internal affairs of Liemen, and their status was equivalent to that of the elders.
If the nine people reach a unified opinion, they even have the right to abolish the leader.
Later, in the peer alliance ceremony 1,300 years ago, the head of the hunting gate at that time was the head of the Yun family, named Yun Xiaodie, who was a powerful figure and took away the power of the Jiulong family.
It is not clear how it was collected, but it was collected anyway.
After that, members of the Jiulong family generally didn't participate in peer alliance ceremonies. "
Speaking of this, Cao Yusheng took a sip of the tea in his hand, looked at Lin Shuo, and said, "Leader, in the previous peer alliance ceremonies, they all meant to come one or two, and then went back after watching the ceremony. This time It was very enthusiastic, all nine came, this is really once in a thousand years."
Lin Shuo smiled: "If he wants to come, we can't stop him."
"That's true." Cao Yusheng nodded, "But the nine dragon heads came together, I'm afraid it's not easy."
"Watch the ceremony, let them watch it carefully and treat them politely. They are the nine leaders anyway, so I want to show some face." Lin Shuo said, "If they have other things to do, we'll see them later and cooperate as much as possible. The Jiulong family has monitored the alien species for generations, and has a heavy responsibility. Moreover, they have not made any mistakes for so many years. They have worked hard and made great achievements.
Compared to them, the He family and the Su family did not do well enough.
That's all for the Su family, everyone is dead, so the snake hook can't stand it anymore.
But regarding the He family...
Master, go and call He Yongchang, Miao Chengyun, Yun Xiuer, Zhang Jin, and Miao Xiaoxian. "
"good."
…
Not long after, the whole room was full.
Including Lin Shuo and Anne who were there before, now in this house, all the heads of the six families of Liemen are present.
Of course, Miao Tiangong and Yun Bihua are in charge of the Miao family and the Yun family, but these two people will arrive tomorrow, so they can't be called for the time being, just let Miao Xiaoxian and Yun Xiu'er attend as observers.
The second wife, Di Lan, Lin Shuo asked her to go upstairs to rest first.
Wei Xingshan was kicked out by Lin Shuo to smoke.
At this moment, in the living room, apart from the members of the six families, only Miao Chengyun and He Yongchang were left.
Lin Shuo looked at the two people, first let Miao Chengyun sit down, and finally looked at He Yongchang who was standing, and narrowed his eyes.
He Yongchang, whose face was like a jujube, turned pale at this moment, his whole body began to tremble slightly, and he knelt down slowly: "Chief leader, Yongchang deserves death."
"What's your crime?" Lin Shuo asked calmly.
"The hunting ground is out of control. Don't report it." He Yongchang bowed his head and said.
"What else?" Lin Shuo asked.
"It's not good to keep the soil, and it causes casualties to the people." He Yongchang said in a deep voice.
"You still have self-knowledge." Lin Shuo nodded, "Then tell me, what should I do with you?"
He Yongchang raised his head and said, "Chief, Yongchang knew that his crimes were serious, and he never thought of getting out. When the boss leads people to hunt in Shennongjia, please let me be the vanguard, and I will die in Shennongjia!"
"Well, that's a good idea." Lin Shuo nodded, "This way you can preserve the reputation of your He family. After you die, I allow you to be the leader, and your son can inherit it. You, He Yongchang, will die alone." People, things can be explained."
"Thank you, chief executive, for making it happen!" He Yongchang clasped his fists and said.
Lin Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "He Yongchang, the common people are now injured or injured because of your He family's hunting ground, this is the last thing I want to see.
But if one life is worth one life, one life is not enough for you, He Yongchang.
Not only is one life not enough for you, He Yongchang, but it is also not enough for all the rest of your He family to take care of.
That's not how it works out. "
He Yongchang looked stunned: "That should be calculated like this?"
"Nonsense." Miao Chengyun said from the side, "The graves of your He family's ancestors should be dug up, and that's probably the end of it."
Yun Xiu'er slapped Miao Chengyun on the head: "This is a meeting of the Six Great Masters. You are just attending the meeting. Can you not come up with bad ideas?"
Lin Shuo ignored the interruptions from the young couple, but said to He Yongchang: "Now Liemen only has a few people from the Nine Realms, and if one dies, one less.
Regarding the matter of the He family's hunting ground, you, He Yongchang, didn't make the decision before, but now you are just an asshole, so the responsibility is not too big.
The previous heads of your family had great responsibilities, and they planted the root of the disaster at that time, but they are all dead.
Our hunting gate is not a government office, and we are not professional in the matter of accountability, but we are professional in the matter of hunting and killing wild beasts and alien species.
Do your job well first, and then talk about other things later.
What's going on at the He family's hunting ground? Let's hold a meeting tonight to settle the matter.
After this matter has been completely resolved, and a few civilians have died this time, I will ask you, He Yongchang, to hunt down a few beasts and alien species that caused disasters in the future.
One life for one life, the account is calculated like this.
I will still give you the position of leader.
Now there are not many wild beasts and alien species in this world, and you probably won't kill enough in this lifetime.
Then your son will take your place and continue to kill.
If the son is not enough to kill, the grandson continues.
A hundred years later, at the next peer alliance ceremony, let's see if you, the He family, have fulfilled my requirements.
If you do it, your He family will still be the Jiucun family.
If not, let my descendants decide how to pursue the responsibility.
He Yongchang, this is an agreement between you and my family, Lin and He, for the next hundred years. Do you agree? "
He Yongchang had already burst into tears when he heard this, and this iron tower-like man knocked his head on the ground: "The leader is wise, how dare my He family not try our best!"
"Oh." Lin Shuo scratched his head, "I seem to have made a mistake just now, that's not the case."
"Ah?" He Yongchang quickly raised his head.
"I can't give you the position of leader directly." Lin Shuo said, "I can only temporarily nominate your He family to Jiucun tomorrow, and you have to keep the threshold yourself in the next few days."
"Then chief executive, don't worry." He Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not just guarding the threshold of my He family, but whoever doesn't have eyes and dares to show the slightest disrespect to the Lin family at the alliance ceremony of the same generation, I He Yongchang was the first to take his dog's life!"
"No, no." Lin Shuo waved his hands again and again, then looked around, "Patriarchs, you should be a witness to this matter. If you think it's inappropriate, you can say it now."
Everyone shook their heads repeatedly, but they had no opinion.
Lin Shuo nodded, and said to Cao Yusheng, "Then let's discuss the matter of Shennongjia next, master, do you have any ideas?"
Cao Yusheng nodded: "Boss, I think so..."
