Chapter 742 Blowing Generational Wealth
There was a popular saying, "Nothing lasts forever, especially money." However, in this world, there were families that not only passed on their wealth for three generations but for countless generations. These families could not be solely defined by their wealth anymore. They possessed power, connections, social status, and even their own trained armed forces.
These families had surpassed the level of a prestigious family and considered themselves "royal clans."
If a hero could establish a prestigious family, then it would take ten generations of heroes to create a royal clan!
A family that could be called a royal clan usually had a history of more than two hundred years. It was the outcome of many generations of arduous work and struggle, not something that one person could accomplish in a few decades.
This was the insurmountable gap between a prestigious family and a royal clan!
In Donghua, there were only a few families that could be called "royal clans," and in the entire country, there were only eight!
For example, Yenching's "Emperor's Equal," Chu Tianxiong
And also, Xi Ye's Lord Ping Xi, Wu Zhenguo!
The Wu family in the Xi Bei region was deeply rooted and had a history spanning more than three hundred years. Wu Zhenguo was like a supreme emperor, unaffected by world events. He reaped the benefits of people's hard work.
Previously, when Chu Feng was in charge of Xi Ye, he had severed many of Wu Zhenguo's subordinates and relatives, creating a lot of resentment. However, due to the immense power and influence of the God of War, Wu Zhenguo remained silent.
Later, after Chu Feng handed over his power and resigned, Xi Ye was engulfed by various forces, and chaos ensued!
The Wu family began to extend its influence publicly and intervene in both military and political affairs.
Nowadays, one-third of the people in Xi Ye's military and political circles are under the control of Wu Zhenguo, Lord Ping Xi!
They were all useless individuals who feared death and only cared about their own survival!
Their toxicity was disastrous!
"Dragon Lord, Wu Zhenguo did not send anyone to welcome us," Chen FengXing said. "It's rumored that he is old and weak, and his health is deteriorating."
"And his son is leading the army to fight the enemy and is engaged in a battle with the Xi Xia army. That's why he didn't come to welcome you."
Chu Feng sneered disdainfully, "He is unwell? Perhaps he thinks it is beneath his dignity as Lord Ping Xi to come and welcome a young brat like me. Well, forget it; it doesn't matter."
"He thinks he can lead an army into the battlefield? Well, I want to see what he's capable of," Chu Feng said casually, giving an order. "Keep a close eye on the frontlines and notify me immediately if anything happens. I have some personal matters to attend to."
"Yes."
Ending the call, Chu Feng touched the land deeds left by his mother, given to him by Mr. Zhong. He felt a mix of emotions and nostalgia.
It was time to visit the Ye family; after all, it was his mother's family.
Before setting off, he had specifically asked Mr. Zhong for the contact information of the Ye family. The person who answered the call was a girl named Ye Mei Er, his cousin from his mother's side. Her voice was sweet and pleasant.
She seemed to have some recollection of his mother, Ye Qingrou, and upon hearing that Chu Feng was her cousin, she became excited and offered to come pick him up.
Thinking about this, Chu Feng smiled faintly.
Regardless of how the other members of the Ye family were, he had a good impression of his cousin, Ye Mei Er.
And so, time passed slowly, and soon it was noon.
