Chapter 1211
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. There are only one or two top families in Xuzhou. If there is one more, they will eat up Xuzhou's interests and resources.
There must be someone who doesn't want to.
The Mi family is like this, and the Zhuge family is naturally like this. Every force that reaches its peak has withstood countless tests of blood and fire.
The turmoil caused by the Zhuge family in Xuzhou has reached an extreme level in the past three years.
That is, a year ago, Zhuge Qilin'er was attacked and killed by dead soldiers when he went out. Four Jindan-level warriors attacked and killed him.
This kind of assassination can be said to be the highest in Xuzhou in the past hundreds of years, and four dead soldiers with golden elixir power were sent to assassinate him at one time.
Such a gesture is really too big.
You know, the power of Jindan level can already command an army of 100,000 if placed in the northern army.
The Zhenzhen side is in command, but now it is just the moment when the assassination comes.
The heritage of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains is indeed much stronger than that of the aristocratic families in the Northland.
However, this time the assassination shocked Xuzhou and even the aristocratic families in the southeast region. Not only did the assassination of the four dead warriors with golden elixir level power fail.
Three people died and one was captured.
And it was not the old guys from the Zhuge family who took action, but that Qilin'er. Such a record shocked many people.
Even if the four golden elixir-level dead warriors couldn't defeat them in the realm of refining gods, they might still be able to leave. However, in the end, not only did the assassination fail, but they were all carried away.
That Qilin'er was less than forty years old, but he possessed power comparable to that of the God Refining Realm.
Such methods really shocked and even frightened many aristocratic families.
Such a talent is simply terrifying to the extreme. No one knows what level of cultivation this child has reached, but at least he has this power that is comparable to the God Refining Realm.
This has only been a long time, but once he continues to practice, he will really have a chance to reach the realm of immortals.
It can be said that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Xuzhou family can no longer suppress the Zhuge family.
After all, when the golden elixir level dead warriors are dispatched, it is already the last strength. If they are moving, they are in the God Refining Realm. The God Refining Realm is the backbone of each family and cannot be easily moved.
Moreover, Tianshi Dao cannot remain indifferent to the heaven-defying aptitude displayed by this son. If he continues to take action, that would be to go against Tianshi Dao.
Even the Chen family in Xuzhou may not have this confidence.
The Zhuge clan has become a trend. If you want to suppress him, you can only use other means and then assassinate him. Such drastic means may not be possible.
Unless the two sides directly break their faces and fight openly.
But this kind of fighting is rare. After all, the world is about to be disrupted. Anyone with lofty ideals can see that the Liu Han Dynasty has reached the end of the dynasty.
I am afraid that troubled times will come next, heroes will fight for hegemony, and finally someone will rule the world again and establish a new dynasty.
At this time, if the aristocratic family wants to protect its own interests, or wants to go further, it will naturally not consume its own power easily at this time.
Troubled times, how terrible.
Many nobles also experienced the last troubled times. The war between humans and gods in Great Qin destroyed countless nobles.
Today's aristocratic families are not actually powerful in Da Qin. Many aristocratic families even do not exist in Da Qin at all.
There are also some who are considered nobles and survived. Then they rose up when the heroes were competing for hegemony, found the true dragon, and suddenly became the top aristocratic family.
Liu Han has reached the end of his life. Naturally, many aristocratic families have also seen opportunities, opportunities for them to go further.
Without troubled times, it would be too difficult for a family to be promoted in peaceful times.
After all, the resources and interests in various places have almost been divided up by the major aristocratic families. If you want to divide them up, unless your own strength suddenly increases by leaps and bounds.
For example, the Zhuge family in Xuzhou, the Zhang family in Yanmen, and the Lu family in Jiuyuan, within a short period of a hundred years, some strong members of the family were promoted to the realm of refining gods.
In this way, we can compete for some resources and interests to the greatest extent possible.
However, this is really difficult.
It was hard for a second-rate noble family to be promoted. There were hundreds of second-rate families in Kyushu, but in the past thousand years, few of them had been born in the realm of refining gods.
I can count them with two palms.
In the realm of divine refining itself, whether it is cultivating Taoism, practicing Qi or practicing martial arts, it is very difficult and requires strong inheritance and resources.
Most of the second-rate nobles did not have a deep foundation. Otherwise, when Liu Han's court reached its peak, they could be promoted with the help of luck.
Today's top aristocratic families almost all entered the dynasty when Liu Han established the new dynasty, or during the period of Emperor Wu.
At that time, Liu Han was at the top of his game, and his fortune was booming. Those aristocratic families all took advantage of this to reach the top in one fell swoop.
Very few were promoted later.
Those who break down the hierarchy are really trapped in the shackles of their own problems, surrounding problems, and so on. It is very difficult to break through all these in peacetime.
But it's different in troubled times.
Once in troubled times, the army becomes like a steel behemoth. Even the top families are sometimes helpless in the face of these steel behemoths.
In troubled times, those aristocratic families will be exterminated if they make the wrong choice.
Most of the aristocratic families are now starting to seize the time to improve their strength, or they are keeping a low profile and shrinking their strength to face the troubled times.
No matter which choice it is, at least now there will no longer be aristocratic families going to war with other aristocratic families in a big way.
In this way, the reputation of the Langya Zhuge family has been raised to a higher level again. No matter how other families choose to deal with it, in the eyes of the outside world, it is the Zhuge family that has won.
And the win was very clean and beautiful.
In this way, the Zhuge family was suddenly promoted from a second-rate family to a first-rate family in just a few decades, even more powerful than the Zhang family of Yanmen.
After all, with the same strength, Zhuge's influence, especially in the court, is not comparable to Zhang's.
Zhuge Clan said before that his influence could not extend beyond Xuzhou, but at least in the past thousand years before Zhuge Clan, many of his disciples had become officials.
The tallest one also served as a disciple of the Third Company.
Even now, the Zhuge family has several prefects, but they are all not in Xuzhou.
In the past, the Zhuge family could not provide much assistance to these clansmen who were serving as officials outside, but it was different now. The Zhuge family had given birth to a power comparable to the God Refining Realm.
Then they will have much more confidence to serve as officials outside. Many local nobles must think carefully if they want to serve in an official position.
If these Zhuge disciples serve as officials outside, their rights will be greatly enhanced. In this way, the influence of the Zhuge family will only grow. (End of chapter)
