Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Chapter 63: When people look down on others, they look down on others; when people praise others, they look up to others.

(Other than a problem with my computer yesterday, when I copied and pasted Chapter 62 from the document to the platform, the last one or two hundred words were repeated. Students who repeated them should just exit and refresh again.)
"Aristocratic family."

Fang Xuan looked at the drink in the glass and fell into deep thought.

His study of history was not very deep.

But he knew that regardless of past and present life, the aristocratic family had always been a huge presence that shrouded the entire history of the feudal dynasty and could not be ignored.

The world rises and falls, and imperial power changes.

Behind too many things, there is the shadow of the aristocratic family, fueling the flames behind the scenes.

Even the supreme imperial power sometimes has to bow before the power of aristocratic families.

Take the man from his previous life who conquered the world on horseback and rose to the top by stepping on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. He was once known as the General of Heavenly Policy. He also ruled the world from horseback and made hundreds of nations worship God. For a wise king, when he first ascended the throne, he had to rely on his family to survive.

After more than ten years, the influence of the family has been reduced to the lowest level.

Another example is the unlucky emperor who hanged himself from a crooked-necked tree in his previous life and was praised by countless people as having great ambitions and talents. He wanted to get families from all over the world to pay taxes and obey him, but in the end no family paid attention to him at all.

The above examples are too numerous to mention.

From this we can see how majestic and terrifying the power of the family is.

They are like a towering tree with lush branches and tangled roots. Countless roots have already been deeply rooted in the soil of the imperial court, temples and all walks of life.

Densely packed and criss-crossed!
A single move affects the whole body!

If you are not careful, the world will be in chaos!
Fang Xuan didn't know what the power of aristocratic families was in this world where human power could create miracles.

But thinking about it, even if he is weak, he will never be that weak.

The second son, Sikong Jiyan, wants to secretly grow and accumulate strength by any means in this troubled world. Just waiting for the hero to draw his sword will cause another ten years of calamity for the common people. It is not wrong.

"But will the power of the imperial court really decline to this extent?"

Fang Xuan had doubts about this.

The administrative division of the Dayang court was very simple. It was initially divided into three systems: prefecture, county and county.

Later, Dayang abolished counties and retained only the two systems of prefectures and counties.

Pingjiang County was previously called Pingjiang County. After the county was abolished, it was called Pingjiang County.

With a population of more than hundreds of thousands, it is the largest city in the entire Yanzhou area, except for Yanzhou Fucheng!

As the top family in Pingjiang City, the Sikong Family has control over most of Yanzhou.

Among the major aristocratic families, it is not considered weak, but it is not yet to the point where it affects the world structure.

If the second son of such a family is secretly colluding with a cult, will the court really not know about it?

Or rather, pretending not to know?

Just like a fisherman casting a net to catch fish, waiting to catch them all when the net is closed?
Fang Xuan has seen too many such methods.

Even in the era he lived in in his previous life, there were too many so-called companies that developed during their tenure and reached the top, and then were eaten up in one bite.

The imperial court was too proficient in the means of cleverly establishing a name.

Gulu.

Fang Xuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and the thoughtful look in his eyes became more intense.

After a while.

Fang Xuan pinched his eyebrows and sighed, suddenly laughing at himself.

He is just a rogue who has gained some fame and status in Pingjiang City, but he wants to see through the world situation?
After gathering his thoughts, Fang Xuan looked at Sikong Jihuai and motioned for him to continue.

"My second brother can be regarded as a man of great talent and military prowess, but he is too ambitious and moves too hastily." Sikong Jihuai lowered his head and looked out the window. There were fireworks in every house and pedestrians walking in a hurry.

He slowly said:

"If he is allowed to serve as the head of the family, it will only plunge the Sikong family into a muddy abyss that they will never be able to recover from!"

“Our Sikong family, our position is neither high nor low, neither big nor small, we are people standing on the mountainside.

In today's world, the only thing we can do is to stick to our duties and wait and see what happens!

The sky is falling, and there is a greater being holding up. Even if the day comes when the dynasty changes, as long as our control in Yanzhou is still there, we will still have value for the new dynasty, and we can still enjoy peace!

If the sky does not fall, we will still be able to dominate one side and our glory will continue unaffected! "

Sikong Jihuai withdrew his gaze, looked back at Fang Xuan and said with a smile:

"Fang Xuan, you see, everyone in the world knows that it is better to be the icing on the cake than to add icing on the cake, but why is it that everyone still wants to be the icing on the cake instead of doing the icing on the cake?"

"Because the icing on the cake is impartial. Regardless of right or wrong, victory or defeat, there is always a way out."

"And those who send carbon in the snow are desperate, and they will be doomed if they are not careful!"

Speaking of this, Sikong Jihuai sighed softly:
"You fishermen all know that the bigger the wind and waves are, the more expensive the fish will be. However, no matter how expensive the fish is, it only costs a few taels of silver and property, but if the wind and waves are big, it will really kill people!"

Fang Xuan was slightly silent.

indeed so.

If it wasn't a last resort, if it wasn't a choice, who would do it?

The Sikong family is not a family of fishermen who will starve to death if they don't fish. They have a choice.

"So, this is why you changed your mind and wanted to compete for the position of the head of the family?" Fang Xuan thought for a while and said.

"That's it."

Sikong Jihuai nodded, and then said helplessly: "As for my third brother, you also saw it today. Let him be the head of the family. In less than three years, I am afraid that the Sikong family will be sold to others, and he will still be stupid. Count money for other people.”

As soon as he said this, Fang Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Compared with the old scumbag who keeps his emotions and anger secretive, Sikong Jixuan, who puts all his emotions on his face, is indeed easier to deal with.

"So, you want to pull me into your camp and help you rise to power?" Fang Xuan then asked.

"Yes."

Sikong Jihuai did not refute, but looked calm and nodded without hesitation: "Fang Xuan, at your age, you can have such strength and cultivation. If you don't die young, you will definitely be on the list of hidden dragons in the future. Your place! I want you to help me, I think it is human nature, right?"

I have understood a truth since I was very young: when people step down, others will be humbled, but when people praise others, they will be lifted up!
I lack force and you lack resources.

And you and I are not stupid, so why can't we cooperate with each other and achieve mutual success? "

Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jihuai continued with stern eyes:
"I can promise you that if you come to help me, I will do my best, whether you need martial arts skills, even a very cherished technique, or various resources needed for practice!

As long as I have it, as long as you want it! I can give it to you! "

After saying that, Sikong Jihuai looked at Fang Xuan steadily, waiting for Fang Xuan's answer.

"You said you lacked force, but the Sikong family relied on force to build their clan. Not to mention me, a warrior who passed the Great Perfection on the first day. Even if I entered the second day, the Sikong family would catch a handful of them, right?" Fang Xuan said with a face. There wasn't much expression on his face, and he didn't reveal that he had entered the second level.

"It's very simple. What I want is not someone who is on the side of the family. What I want is someone who truly belongs to me." Sikong Jihuai said without hesitation.

Fang Xuan nodded slightly, instead of answering in a hurry, he fell into thinking.

Anything, no matter how well the other party describes it, no matter how well you agree with it in your heart. And never agree immediately.

This is something Fang Xuan understood very early on.
