Chapter 120 The Emperor is Dead

"Let's talk about these things after a while, when everyone has stabilized in the county."

Such a big family can't do without some rules, but it's still a stable stage, so it's better to stabilize the foundation first before announcing these things.

"That's fine."

"But Arnold, what should we do in the future?"

Uncle asked with some confusion and fear in his eyes.

"Now the world is getting more and more chaotic. The three powerful families are dying and declining, and so many people have died in the entire county. But it seems that this chaotic world has just begun. In the future, will it be our Chen family's turn? "

Chen Nuo glanced at his uncle and understood in his heart that this was probably the reason why his uncle came here in a hurry as soon as he arrived.

As the leader of a family, he must or is forced to be far-sighted. Other clan members may not care, but the above people must think clearly about it.

Suddenly, a small clan becomes a big clan.

I'm afraid my great-uncle has always been worried.

Chen Nuo shook his head, "Uncle, you don't need to worry too much about this. As long as you have enough strength and don't carry it to death, you can always protect yourself. I have concerns about these in my heart. What's more, it doesn't matter if the dynasty changes. We at the grassroots level A wealthy family is always the cornerstone of a dynasty.”

"If necessary, we will not kill them all."

After hearing Chen Nuo's words, the worry on my uncle's face finally dissipated a bit.

But.

These words were actually just words of comfort from Chen Nuo.

There is no such thing as a thousand-year-old dynasty, but there is a thousand-year-old family. It does exist.

However, who has ever seen how those prestigious aristocratic families were trampled underfoot and annihilated in troubled times?

In these troubled times, countless aristocratic families have been destroyed and declined!

So what if there is a need?

It will be destroyed if it should be destroyed!

Chen Nuo had an idea.

After the family grows again, it may be time to find a way out.

Panshe Mountain is not good, it is too close and the conditions are not suitable.

It would be best to have a remote place suitable for hiding.

In the Yue Kingdom, only the southernmost Hexia County seems to be the most stable now, with no rebels.

Maybe it's a choice.

Of course, if you go further south, beyond the vast southern wilderness on the border of Vietnam, you may also be able to learn more about it...

Chen Nuo was thinking.

Chen Li hurried in again.

Chen Nuo felt a thump in his heart, thinking something might have happened again.

Every time Chen Li looks like this, something must be wrong.

as expected.

"Clan leader! It's not good!"

"The emperor is gone!"

? ? ?

As soon as he said this, the two of them were shocked.

Chen Nuo's expression changed instantly, and the uncle next to him slapped the table.

"Chen Li! Stop talking nonsense!"

Although the imperial court is in chaos now, it is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court after all, and the Bai Ling Sect has not come to fight.

After all, it still belongs to the country of Yue.

Where can I say this?

Chen Nuo waved his hand, "It's okay, Chen Li, please tell me in detail where the news came from."

Chen Nuo took these things lightly. Apart from the influence of awakened past life memories, the most important thing is that this place is the Chen family's base camp. Who knew?

Chen Li calmed down and said, "Yes, it's the news from the caravan..."

It turned out that in mid-March, the old emperor was so angry that he vomited blood because of the Bai Ling Sect's rebellion, and then he simply fell ill in bed and died in two days.

Rumor has it that he was poisoned to death by the eldest prince because he was so alive that the eldest prince couldn't wait any longer.

There are also rumors that he...

Anyway, there are different opinions.

When he died, the entire Yue Kingdom was in chaos.

Unfortunately, he hasn't appointed a crown prince yet, and now in Ouyue City, the three princes are causing chaos.

As for who won and who lost, the people in the caravan didn't know. This news had been passed on several times. The accuracy cannot be guaranteed, but the emperor died. This is absolutely true!

After listening, Chen Nuo looked thoughtful.

To be honest, the old emperor didn't do very well.

The first half of his life was okay, but the second half of his life was simply a foolish king. He lived a life of pleasure and did not go to court. He continued to impose excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. In addition, natural disasters also occurred, which resulted in the entire Yue Kingdom being in a state of poverty for the people in the past few years.

Especially the year before last, taxes were raised to the point of oppression. To this end, some powers were even decentralized, just for more money!

Otherwise, where did Chen Nuo's grain tax envoy come from?

With all these factors in mind, this guy is certainly not a promising person.

But one thing is unmistakable, that is, it is actually beneficial for him to be alive now.

At least the political situation is stable, and the counter-rebellion troops will not be shaken in morale, but suddenly something like this happened.

You can imagine how bad the situation will be.

Once the situation changes, where should Chen go?

"Chen Li, collect more information from General Xuan She and report any information in a timely manner."

"Yes, patriarch."

Now that the emperor is dead, let's wait and see what happens. If General Xuan She can't stop the Bai Ling Sect army, then prepare to retreat.

He didn't have any trust in the Bai Ling Sect organization.

Would a cult organization care about the stabilizing effect of aristocratic families on the local area?

Don't be ridiculous, they will only squeeze out your value first, and then turn around and kill the whole family to kill the blood sacrifice!

What happened in Hujia Village back then is still vivid in my mind!

"By the way, has this news spread?"

"Yes, it has spread throughout Liushui County. We now know that it is mainly because of the banditry that the caravans dare not come here, so we only know about these things now." Chen Li replied.

"Spread has spread... It is inevitable that people's hearts will be unstable, especially now that the three counties are suffering, a civil uprising may be born."

In fact, An County is not bad, mainly the other two counties.

If trouble breaks out again, it will be a disaster!

"Uncle, it seems I have to go to the Ning family."

Chen Nuo said suddenly.

"In the meantime, please stabilize this side first."

"Okay, feel free to go."

After a slight salute, Chen Nuo took a few people and went straight to the door.

The concierge greeted Chen Nuo respectfully.

In the living room, Ning Tianya sat at the head of the table, flanked by two maids, and there were green fruits on the table.

"Wonderful son-in-law? Sit down."

Chen Nuo was not polite and sat directly opposite.

"Master Taishan is so leisurely."

"It's no longer leisurely. It's just fun in the midst of hardship. Is it because of the death of that person that you came here?"

After all, Chen Nuo is not a "lawless" character. When Ning Tianya said it, he was obviously very taboo.

"That's right, you must also know that after he dies, there will probably be more chaos, especially in Quan County and Heping County. Those wealthy families who have risen again will not be very kind to the people. It just so happens that the emperor is dead, you say What will they do?"

Chen Nuo was also straightforward and said these words directly.

"..."

"What do you want to do? Although they are weaker than us, we can't control two counties now, and they are too pushy..."

"You misunderstood. I just want you to introduce Captain Xuanshui."
