C1298 The Zhou Family's Foundation
"The headquarters of the Zhou Family has four main doors in the east, south, west, and north. It covers a vast area of thousands of houses. The four main doors are the VIP passageways, the family disciples' passageways, the servants' passageways, and the emergency passageways." Elder Zhou beamed with joy as he explained.
Ever since Wang Xiao met Elder Zhou, this was the first time Wang Xiao had seen him so proud. However, who wouldn't be proud of being born in such a family? Damn, if it was him, he would be proud as well. As long as he was born in such a family, he would be born with a rich life. Even if it was a pig, it was still a pig that no one dared to touch.
However, there were so many members of the Zhou Family. Not everyone could enjoy noble treatment because the family couldn't afford it. If they allowed every disciple to squander as they pleased, even if they had ten thousand gold mountains, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
According to Wang Xiao's estimation, the Zhou Family had very strict restrictions on the disciples of their families. They were also divided into three grades, six grades, and nine grades. The more they worked, the more they worked. Those useless disciples could only receive protection, but that protection was estimated to be over a million a year. It was enough for them to spend.
Actually, even if they were born in a big family like the Zhou Family, they wouldn't be able to obtain countless resources. Regardless of which family it was, those resources were given to those with talent and foundation. Those without foundation and talent would probably only provide food and clothing without worry.
But even if it was the lowest protection, it was still a treatment that ordinary people could not hope for. Being born with riches and fortune, this was something that many ordinary people yearned for. The two of them walked for about 20 minutes, but their sights were still on houses, gardens, pavilions, and so on. However, the houses, gardens and pavilions in every place were different. Some of the servants were trimming the flowers and trimming the leaves.
When he arrived in front of a black building, Wang Xiao could not help but stop in his tracks and look up at the building. It was a tall tower that reached into the clouds. The tower was dark and gave Wang Xiao the feeling that it was not a tower, but a sharp sword.
The sharp energy of the sword pierced through the sky. Compared to the ancient tower of the Huaxing Gang, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. Similarly, the ancient pagoda in the headquarters of the Huaxing Gang was similar to the ancient pagoda of the Zhou Family. It seemed to have come from a single person.
Wang Xiao had been curious about why the ancient tower would appear in the headquarters of the Huaxing Gang. It was because the ancient tower could gather the surrounding spiritual energy. Therefore, every time his brothers advanced, they would enter the ancient tower. One must know that the headquarters of the Huaxing Gang used to be the territory of the Flying Dragon Gang. However, the Flying Dragon Gang, which was an unranked sect, did not have the ability to construct such an ancient pagoda.
"Gang Master Wang, do you feel that this pagoda is very magical?" Elder Zhou asked with a smile.
"Yes." Wang Xiao nodded.
Elder Zhou said proudly. Actually, this ancient pagoda was built by the ancestors of the Zhou Family. I heard that there was once an ancestor of our Zhou Family who was as powerful as the heavens and earth, no less powerful than the current ruler of the Medicine King Valley and Underground Martial Guild."
"No wonder I feel like this is a sword, not an ancient pagoda." Wang Xiao said.
"Gang Master Wang, I believe you can guess the uses of this ancient pagoda, because your Huaxing Gang also has a similar ancient pagoda." Elder Zhou said.
"I think I know. It should be a place for cultivation." Wang Xiao said.
Elder Zhou nodded. "That's right. As long as our family members are promoted," he said. All are qualified to enter the ancient tower. Furthermore, it is said that the ancestor of our Zhou Family once established an ancient pagoda in Qingcheng City. It was the ancient pagoda in the headquarters of the Huaxing Gang. Later on, our ancestor abandoned that place and established a foothold in the capital. They established our Zhou Family Sect. From now on, Our Zhou Family has been prosperous for a long time, so we abandoned the Qingcheng City. And according to what I know, The headquarters of the Huaxing Gang's Qingcheng City isn't the headquarters of the Flying Dragon Gang. After a few rounds, it fell into the hands of the Huaxing Gang. "
"So that's the case. Actually, when Wang Xiao saw the ancient pagoda of the Zhou Family, he could roughly guess what was going on. So this ancient pagoda and the ancient pagoda of the headquarters of the Huaxing Gang were established by the ancestors of the Zhou Family, and that ancestor was also the founder of the Zhou Family.
It was precisely because of that founder that the Zhou Family was able to establish itself in the capital for generations to come. As for why the ancestor of the Zhou Family gave up the Qingcheng City, it was actually very simple. It had already developed to the capital, who would care about that lousy place?
However, Wang Xiao didn't feel any inferiority. He didn't think that the Qingcheng City was a place that the ancestor of the Zhou Family had abandoned before. Therefore, he should abandon it as well. Since ancient times, gangs had been established in every inch of the Huaxia Country's territory. The destruction, the rise of new gangs. And then they were wiped out again and again. In the same place, who knows how many sects have been established. Just like the capital, This place was hundreds of years ago, or a thousand years ago. There were also people who established power and then gave up or died. Could it be because of those things? Can't we build a city here?
"However, in the past, those people occupied the headquarters of the Huaxing Gang. It was an insult to the ancestors of the Zhou Family, because they didn't deserve the place where the ancestors of the Zhou Family used to live. " However, I changed my mind after Gang Master Wang appeared. " Elder Zhou said.
These were words of flattery, but it was comfortable to hear.
"Elder Zhou, why didn't the Zhou Family take back those territories in the past?" Wang Xiao asked curiously. With the Zhou Family's influence, they had the ability to take back those territories. However, the Zhou Family remained indifferent, as if they had forgotten about it.
If the Zhou Family hadn't told them about it today, Wang Xiao really wouldn't have known about it. It turned out that the place used to be the territory of the Zhou Family, but now, it had become the past.
"Hehe." Elder Zhou smiled casually and said, "The past is the past. How can our family snatch it back? " If we do that, we will take it by force. Moreover, there were people who established a power here in the headquarters of the Zhou Family. If their descendants were to follow the example and come to our headquarters to claim the land, we would have to return to our headquarters as well. Furthermore, the territory doesn't belong to anyone. "Once the ownership of the territory is changed, it will belong to the current owner."
Elder Zhou's words were very reasonable and very moral.
The two of them chatted as they walked, quite pleased. Moreover, this was Wang Xiao's first time coming to the capital's Zhou Family, so he could also gain some knowledge. When they arrived in front of a villa, Elder Zhou said to Wang Xiao, "Gang Master Wang, I'll take you to this villa to rest."
This villa only had two floors. It was neither big nor small, but it was enough for Wang Xiao to live alone. Wang Xiao was the only person living in the villa. It was a good treatment. After entering the villa, the lighting inside was very good and the layout was very warm. It was simple and fragrant. It did not give people a very gorgeous feeling, but it was very simple.
In fact, the entire Zhou family manor's layout was not very gorgeous but very solemn, quiet, quiet, and simple. It seemed to have left the city and entered nature. This type of layout was not something that ordinary people could set up, even though it was a hidden foundation.
The furniture in the room was also complete. Wang Xiao just didn't describe it one by one. Old Zhou brought Wang Xiao to the second floor. The second floor was a room and two living rooms. The hall was very big. Inside, there was a sofa and a coffee table. There was a bathtub and a small artificial hill. There were actually small trees growing in the rockery. That small tree was a real plant, not plastic. Wang Xiao did not know what method they used. To make a small tree grow on the hill in the hall.
"Gang Master Wang, there are two rooms here. You can choose any room you want to rest in. I will arrange for chefs and maids to come over later. If you need anything, just tell them." Elder Zhou said politely.
"There's no need for that. Just get me some food." Wang Xiao said.2
He didn't expect his treatment to be so high. Not only could he live in a private villa, but he also had private chefs and waiters. Damn, this kind of life was like an emperor. However, at the same time that he received such a high treatment, Wang Xiao felt uneasy.
Why? Because the treatment he received was too high. It was too good. If he could not treat his wife's illness, Wang Xiao would definitely feel ashamed. Being supported by someone high up but unable to help others to cure the disaster, it was indeed very guilty.
"Gang Master Wang, not only did you come to treat my wife, you are also a distinguished guest of our Zhou Family. You have also refined a lot of Zhou Familys for our Zhou Family, so it is only natural for you to receive this kind of treatment. Don't worry too much." Elder Zhou said.
Wang Xiao did not decline the offer. Since he had come, it was better to be at ease. "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Zhou." Wang Xiao was grateful.
"It doesn't matter." Elder Zhou said, "Gang Master Wang, I haven't been back for a long time. I need to talk to some old men, so I need to rest by myself. I'll go out with you tonight to show you the prosperity of the capital."
Wang Xiao also wanted to go out for a walk. He wanted to see the uniqueness of the capital. It was just that he was not familiar with the place, so he did not want to go out alone. Since Elder Zhou had accompanied him out for a walk, of course Wang Xiao could not ask for more.
"Then I will first thank Elder Zhou. You can go and do what you need to do." The Zhou Family was very big, so when Elder Zhou returned to his family, he would look for those old fellows who used to be good at chatting. Anyway, a group of old men played chess together, or showed off how good their income was from the places they controlled, and so on. He intended to anger the other old men to death.
Wang Xiao was not in the mood to go see those old men with the Zhou Family because he was not interested in the contents of the old men's conversation. Moreover, he followed a group of old men all day long, which made him not feel energetic at all. Elder Zhou turned around and left. Wang Xiao walked to the edge of the window and pulled the curtains open.
He saw a garden behind the villa. There was actually a lotus pond in the garden. The lotus pond was surrounded by dense steam. "Hot spring." When Wang Xiao saw the lotus pond, he knew it must be a hot spring. What was different was that the lotus pond was not only a hot spring, but the spring water inside was not artificial. Some of the spring water in the garden was artificially added and formed. However, there should be a spring at the bottom of this lotus pond.
At one end of the lotus pond, there was a small stream. The water gurgled, and the stream benefited from the lotus pond. It flowed slowly along the stream. The scene in front of Wang Xiao's eyes seemed to be formed by nature instead of a man-made scene.
Listening to the gurgling sound of the flowing water, Wang Xiao's mind was especially calm. Standing in the room of the villa, Looking through the glass at the stream outside, Wang Xiao had a feeling of belonging. It was as if this was his home, his home that he had not seen for a long time. How many years had it been? He did not know how many years it had been, but Wang Xiao had always been looking for home. However, he hadn't been able to find that feeling. When he arrived at the headquarters of the Zhou Family, Wang Xiao actually had this feeling.
He shook his head with a bitter smile. Wang Xiao decided not to think about these things. How could this be his home? What nonsense was this? Could it be that he wanted to climb a higher branch? Wang Xiao was not that kind of person. Because he was a very dignified person. He did not want to cling to anyone.
"Ta, ta, ta..."
The sound of light footsteps could be heard, as though a few people had entered the room. However, the footsteps of these people were very soft and light. Wang Xiao turned around and saw three people in the room. Two men and one woman. Two men were wearing white clothes and a chef's hat. The woman was wearing the clothes of a waiter.
