Chapter 90 Family Status Promotion!

Unbeknownst to Zhou Bai, the sudden arrival of Xie Yuan's luck not only awakened him, but also awakened the Zhou family's ancestral spirit, saving the Zhou family from a catastrophe.

During this period of time, there was only one major event in the state, and that was the provincial examination and imperial examination.

And in the small county town of Pingcang far to the north, you only need to stare at the one-acre three-point land in front of your house. The "New Deal" is the only core of everything in Pingcang.

After Zhou Bai wiped out Mihun Village, Ji Hongze gathered county soldiers to join forces with clan soldiers from major families to suppress the bandits, and launched an offensive against the Twelve Villages in Cangshan Mountain every day and night.

It is true that a few villages were destroyed, and many bandits were wiped out, but the boundaries of Pingcang County were clearly in turmoil.

Some thieves and bandits couldn't hide in the mountains, so they fled to the foot of the mountain to make trouble. Several small families' villages were broken into and looted, causing panic.

It was against this background that the Zhao family was preparing to launch a retaliatory action against the Zhou family. They wanted to pretend to be Cangshan bandits and break into the Zhou family's land, burn, kill and loot, and kill all the core members of the Zhou family.

Zhao Chun's only son, Zhao Liangji, the heir of the Zhao family's lineage, died in an unknown way.

After all, Zhao Liangji died on the way to assassinate Zhou Bai, and Zhou Bai couldn't get away with it anyway.

This old man who lost his son in his later years and is close to madness doesn't care about "killers, people will always kill them", he just wants revenge!
On August 25th, which happened to be the day he had chosen for the night attack, Zhao Chun personally led the team in a vain attempt to break into the Zhou family's ancestral house in one fell swoop.

"Patriarch, we only got the news of the township examination on the [-]th day of September last year. Why don't we wait for us to prepare more carefully, so that we can call more dead men back." Before the mobilization, his confidant asked Zhao Chun like this.

Zhao Chun's calm face showed sadness and sternness, he shook his head and said: "Most of the Zhou family's soldiers are going to Cangshan to suppress the bandits now, the clan land is empty, and the state city releases the list, we Pingcang has been too late to get the news, It can’t really be delayed until September.”

Before departure, Zhao Chun, as the head of the Zhao family, made a personal sacrifice in the ancestral hall, praying for the help of the ancestors.

At the county level, worshiping the ancestors already possesses some supernatural powers, such as protecting an important person of the family's descendants.

Now Zhao Chun has dragged out the whole matter, and got the approval of a certain ancestor spirit. Since he is hostile to the Zhou family, the strategy of offending the Zhou family is not wrong.

So after setting off, Zhao Chun felt more confident, one was the protection of the ancestors, and the other was that he invited his own family to accompany him.

Although the price is very painful, as long as Zhou's house is breached, he thinks everything is worth it.

One hundred dead warriors and servants, plus two hundred rogues gathered, are all vicious characters who kill without batting an eyelid. It should be safe to attack a small villager guarding the emptiness.

Indeed, when the dense crowd of men in black gradually cleared the guard posts near the Zhou clan's land, the Zhou family members still didn't notice it at all, with a careless attitude.

Fortunately, during this period of time, even at night, the ancestral hall of the Zhou family was still brightly lit, because Zhou Mingxuan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, ordered that the high-level and core clan members must take turns to pray for Zhou Bai.

Even if you can't provide too much family luck for this unicorn, you can have a heart for every point, so don't slack off.

From the evening of August 25th to the early morning of August 26th, it was Zhou Mingxuan himself who took the lead on duty. He looked at the specially vacated position on the shrines, and was quite moved.

Once he goes up in the future, he will be able to enter the family spiritual domain immediately without worrying about suffering after death.

This made Zhou Mingxuan not thank Zhou Bai, so whenever he took the lead to pray for blessings, he was full of energy and did not feel sleepy at all.

Originally, he thought that tonight would be as peaceful as before, but Yu Yueyun suddenly appeared in the ancestral hall, which made the elders very angry.

"You, you are a woman, how can you enter the ancestral hall at will!"

"Besides, your surname is not Zhou!"

Hearing that the two patriarchs did not show any affection, Zhou Mingxuan's face was extremely embarrassed. To say that he was a foster daughter meant that he was not the patriarch.

Of course, he also knows the thoughts of the clan elders. It is indeed a big taboo to have a foreign surname, a woman, and trespassing on the clan hall.

"Father, forgive my daughter for being rude, there are enemies coming less than three miles away from the clan wall, please hurry up and prepare to defend against them!"

However, before Zhou Mingxuan took the initiative to ask, Yu Yueyun's eager reminder shocked everyone.

what's the situation?My Zhou family's prestige from suppressing bandits is no longer valid?

You must know that their Zhou family is a genuine top-notch villager, and the clan's land is guarded by a courtyard wall. Which bandit would dare to be so reckless and come up to make a surprise attack.

Before the people on duty at night came to report the news, many people didn't believe it, and even wanted to reprimand it aloud.

Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him, and everyone's face paled instantly.

It turned out that there was a change in the ancestral tablet. The top three spiritual tablets fell straight down the shrine. The orderly floating white smoke turned into a cloud of gray and black, and a terrifying thunder sounded above the towering ancestral hall.

More members of the Night Watch clan could no longer remain calm at this time, but said in horror: "This is the warning from the three ancestor spirits of my Zhou clan!"

Zhou Mingxuan took a deep breath, and asked people to put the ancestor's spiritual seat back to its original position, and he himself shivered and respectfully burned a stick of incense.

I don't know what he said silently, but the red light on the divine case in the ancestral hall was faintly visible, and the three ancestor spirits were actually half honored in this world.

I can't see too many expressions clearly, only the eagerness that is not concealed can be seen.

"Everyone, our family has successfully promoted to the county lord!" Zhou Mingxuan immediately explained the various phenomena in the ancestral hall.

Everyone suddenly realized, and were immediately overjoyed, no wonder there was such a big commotion.

You must know that the ancestor spirits enshrined by their villages do not have these miraculous warning abilities. In the past, every 30 to [-] years of self-cultivation, they might be able to give warnings once in dreams, and the information is not clear enough.

Now only the promotion of family status can explain why there are so many visions in the ancestral hall.

"Silent! But everyone should also understand that the ancestor spirit does not appear without a reason."

"On the first day when we were promoted to county lord, the enemy came at us, what should we do?!"

Zhou Mingxuan's face was radiant, and his words were sonorous and forceful. He waved the scepter in his hand and questioned all the clansmen.

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Defend the homeland!" The clansmen roared in anger.

"The patriarch must win the election this time in order to improve our family's character. Before he comes back, we must guard our homeland!"

"Ring the alarm bell of the clan temple to wake up the whole clan to defend against the enemy. The rest of the people should take their positions, obey the command of the village guard team, and be sure to guard the gate of the clan wall." By this time, Zhou Mingxuan still did not mess up his position, but arranged it in an orderly manner.

"Boom boom boom~!!!"

The buzzing alarm bell resounded around the ancestral house, and in an instant, all the lights were on.

Most of the clansmen were panicked, but they had been trained by the village guard team before, so they knew what to do at this time.

The rural tribal lands of this era, especially the core area where the ancestral home is located, are surrounded by courtyard walls, so it is difficult to be captured in one fell swoop if one is prepared in advance.

Of course Zhao Chun understood this truth, he set up his headquarters on a hill, and then specifically told his subordinates to try not to disturb too many people to defend.

Looking at the men slowly approaching in the wilderness, he was very satisfied that everything was going according to plan.

Because when clearing the scattered settlements in the surrounding areas, it went so smoothly, and the Zhou family inside did not have time to resist.

However, the Zhou family land, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly lit up countless torches, and there was no need to say anything about the loud shouts of killing and guarding.

At this time, a gust of dark wind swirled around Zhao Chun, and his old but strong body trembled, as if he had received some information.

"Asshole, the ancestor spirit of the Zhou family was suddenly promoted collectively, and my ancestor spirit of the Zhao family couldn't suppress it!"

"My lord, please take action and break open the gate directly!"
