Chapter 593 The Celestial Dragons Return! Declaring War on Su Yu and Zhong Yao?
"Lord Wang, I hope you will offer me your guidance in matters concerning Nanyang's affairs in the future!"
Mao Jie has a very approachable smile, but Wang Gang is full of dissatisfaction with Su Yu's faction at this moment.
Faced with Mao Jie's obsequious smile, Wang Gang sneered:
"I don't have the ability to give Lord Mao any pointers."
"Lord Mao, please don't make things difficult for this old man. I would be extremely grateful!"
Mao Jie laughed heartily:
"Lord Wang is quite the joker."
"Mao is not as shameless and immoral as Lord Wang imagines."
"In the end, it is truly Mao and you, Lord Wang, who are of one mind."
Wang Gang is getting old and his reaction time is a bit slow, which is why Zhong Yao doesn't keep him by his side.
But Wang Gang is still Wang Gang after all; those who can sit in his position are all shrewd and capable.
He grasped the essence of Mao's words.
Are we of one mind?
"Heh...that's interesting!"
Wang Gang narrowed his eyes slightly.
……
Night falls
When Mao Jie returned to his residence and opened the door, a dagger was held to his neck.
"Mao Jie, why is your progress so slow?"
"Could it be that you've forgotten how ruthless Su Ziyi is?"
"Traitor, don't even think about betraying us again!"
"Once unfaithful, always untrustworthy!"
Mao Jie slumped to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
Meanwhile, the assassin wielding the dagger had already lifted the roof and left.
Clearly, this was just a warning from his boss.
"Ju Zong, Ju Zong, you have caused me such a terrible fate!"
Mao Jie wept bitterly.
As a native of Yanzhou and a senior talent in the Ministry of Personnel, how could Mao Jie not know how terrifying Su Yu was?
If his undercover identity is exposed, everything will be over!
Right now, Mao Jie not only has to stabilize the situation, but also has to rack his brains to fabricate a "truth about Zhao Yan's affair".
otherwise.
If this matter drags on for too long, and Cao Ang and Xun Yu become aware of it, it will be disadvantageous for him.
As for Mao Jie daring to make such outrageous statements in front of Xun Yu, saying that he would still return to the Ministry of Personnel after finishing his affairs in Nanyang.
This was because Ju Zong assured him that he would not actually return to the Minister of Works' residence.
In other words, Mao Jie was painting a pie in the sky for Xun Yu that could never be realized!

Jizhou
广平
Ju Zong limped out of the mansion, basking in the sunlight outside.
Suddenly, a carriage came speeding toward him from the street.
That speed was clearly meant to kill him!
Ju Zong's pace was already slow, and it was clear that he couldn't avoid it.
At the critical moment, the coachman brandished his long whip and, with his superb horsemanship, brought the carriage to a stop.
A figure dressed in a blue robe, with an angry expression, emerged from within.
"Ju Zong! I wish I could tear you apart alive!"
The visitor was none other than Cui Yan.
Back when Ju Shou was still alive, Cui Yan, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, and Wang Ling were all his junior brothers.
Later, Ju Shou died, and these people split up.
Wang Ling and Cui Yan were both prominent local families in Ji Province and Bing Province, respectively.
The two men voluntarily led their forces to surrender to Cao Cao and were appeased.
Feng Ji was a bachelor with no power. After being captured, he was sent to the Minister's mansion for reform.
When Ye City fell, Shen Pei and Ju Hu both committed suicide.
The old era has come to an end!
Apart from Hōki, who became a beast of burden.
Of the group of people from back then, only Wang Ling and Cui Yan are still active in Cao Cao's political arena.
Wang Ling remains the leader of the powerful families in Bingzhou.
Cui Yan is considered the current leader of the powerful families in Ji Province.
Ju Zong wanted to help his brother-in-law Hua Xin seize the position of leader of the aristocratic families in Ji Province, so he naturally had to get involved with Cui Yan.
The two are now in an adversarial relationship.
"Hahaha, I knew you could keep your composure."
"So, you were trying to scare me with such a cheap trick!"
Ju Zong's eyes were filled with indifference.
He knew Cui Yan's personality perfectly well.
A seasoned opportunist, both greedy and cowardly!
Such a guy doesn't even dare to kill himself; he only dares to deceive himself by scare tactics!
"so what?"
"I just want to tell you that killing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"
Cui Yan was exposed as hypocritical by Ju Zong, and immediately became furious and ashamed.
Ju Zong waved his hand dismissively:
"If you want to negotiate, please come inside."
"Otherwise, goodbye."
"you!"
Cui Yan's abilities were ultimately limited, and he completely lost to Ju Zong in this contest.
Seeing Ju Zong leading him to the ancestral hall, Cui Yan said nervously:
"What are you doing?"
"Could it be that you're taking me to pay respects to Ju Shou?"
Ju Zong gave Cui Yan a mocking look:
"Now you dare to call my brother by his name?"
"Back then, I don't know who it was that kept calling me 'Lord Ju'!"
"When you bow, you have to stick your butt out really high, as if you're afraid my brother won't know how respectful you are to him!"
Cui Yan completely lost his temper and obediently followed Ju Zong into the ancestral hall.
"Come, light an incense stick for my brother."
"Tell him properly how the powerful families of Jizhou have become under your leadership over the years!"
It would have been better if we hadn't brought this up; bringing it up is like rubbing salt into Cui Yan's wounds.
The once powerful families of Ji Province stirred up the winds and clouds of the world, and they undoubtedly belong to version t0.
The powerful families of Jizhou today can hardly be considered masters of sewer tricks, but compared to the powerful families of Yuzhou, they are almost reduced to shining shoes for them!
Cui Yan blushed, closed her eyes, and lit an incense stick for Ju Shou.
"Afraid to open your eyes?"
"I'd like to know, ten years from now, twenty years from now, will my Jizhou aristocratic family, under your leadership, face extinction?"
Ju Zong continued to attack Cui Yan.
Honestly, Cui Yan really wanted to faint on the spot and escape all of this.
"Enough, enough. I asked you to offer incense to my brother not to shame you."
"Instead, we hope that you, Cui Yan, can face the reality."
"Now, the only person who can become the leader of the powerful families in Ji Province is my brother-in-law, and only my brother-in-law!"
"So, I hope you can support him."
At this moment, Ju Zong gave Cui Yan the same sense of oppression that Ju Shou had once brought!
Their tone of voice and expressions were unmistakably similar!
"Why!?"
Cui Yan swallowed hard, squeezing out these words.
"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just informing you!"
"You are an unfit leader."
"If you don't want the dignity of stepping down voluntarily, then I'll help you achieve that dignity!"
Ju Zong pressed closer and closer to Cui Yan.
"I……"
Before he knew it, Cui Yan had been cornered and even got covered in incense ash.
"To tell you the truth, your cousin has already launched a coup at home."
“Once you go back, you will no longer be the head of the Cui family.”
A cold laugh came from Ju Zong's mouth.
Learning from his elder brother Ju Shou's failure, Ju Zong never did anything he wasn't sure of.
Apart from the Cui family, all the other prominent families in Ji Province longed for Hua Xin, representing the Ju family, to take the position of leader.
Cui Yan did a really bad job; no one except himself agreed with him.
Therefore, everything happened naturally.
Ju Zong's laughter, the flickering candlelight in the ancestral hall, and the terrified Cui Yan—all these revealed something to the world.
The Celestial Dragon family, once a powerful clan, is about to return to its rightful place!
But this time, can the Celestial Dragons still be Celestial Dragons?
Their opponents were Su Yu and Zhong Yao, who were many times more powerful than Yuan Shao, who was beset by internal and external troubles in the past!
