According to Meng Jizu's previous discussion with the head of the Sun family, this martial arts competition will be divided into three rounds. The people participating in the battle are all descendants of the two families, and outsiders are not allowed to intervene.

In each game, both sides also brought out treasures, secrets, or wealth of equal value for gambling.

The winner can get two treasures at the same time, and the loser gets nothing.

The one that wins two out of three battles, or even all three, can successfully acquire the mine, and the other one cannot stand in the way.

It can be said that he has a great gambling habit, and he must have strong confidence in his own strength to dare to take this approach.

In addition, such a duel must be guaranteed by strong witnesses.

Under normal circumstances, no one violates it.

As for the age of each other, the two parties should not be more than five years old.

On the basis of ensuring fairness, we will take care of the problems caused by the large age gap between the two children.

There are not many direct descendants in the next generation of the Meng family, only a few people in total.

As for the men, there are two brothers, Meng Xi and Meng Wen, who are the eldest, Meng Zhao, who is the second eldest, and Meng Yan and Meng Chuan, who are the third eldest.

Meng Yan and Meng Chuan were the two sons of Meng Zhao's third uncle, Meng Hongdao. Meng Yan was slightly older and ranked third in the family, while Meng Chuan was two years younger than Meng Zhao, so he ranked fifth.

However, Meng Yan had a calm temperament and didn't pay much attention to family affairs. He had been traveling abroad and often had romantic affairs, which often made Meng Hongdao angry.

In contrast, the fifth eldest son of the Meng family, Meng Chuan, is not only extremely talented in martial arts, but is also keen on practicing martial arts, and is known as a little martial arts fanatic.

The people originally scheduled to take part in the battle were Meng Xi, Meng Wen, and Meng Chuan. The future of the Meng family's children is full of glory and expectations.

Under this premise, Meng Xi proposed that Meng Zhao participate in this duel, but his intention was really unclear.

Call it a good intention, it is true, because this is indeed an honor. Being able to represent the family in the battle itself shows that one is excellent and strong.

And if you win, you can get two bets.

This kind of gambling capital that can be taken out by the two major families is definitely close.

But for Meng Zhao, this may not be a good thing, because if he loses in this situation, the blow to his personal reputation and confidence will be unparalleled.

What's more, Meng Zhao left home since he was a child and has never received orthodox martial arts instruction. He has never even been taught the Red Flag Order, a family tradition of the Meng family. He only practiced some rudimentary martial arts at Da Ci'en Temple. How could he win Sun Yat-sen's favor? The young hero of the family?

Lu Shun was a little hesitant.

"Master, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, and I'm afraid I won't agree to it!"

This is no small matter. With just a move of your mouth, you can make an immediate decision.

The interests involved are indeed not small, otherwise the two major families would not be allowed to decide their ownership through a duel.

He could even imagine Meng Zhao's disadvantages. Would Meng Jizu, the head of the Meng family, not be able to think of it?

Meng Xi smiled proudly, his pupils flashing with excitement,

"Under normal circumstances, of course it would be inappropriate, but what if my second brother suddenly feels unwell and is unable to compete on stage?

The third child has been running outside without seeing anyone, and he has never liked to practice martial arts. His skills are shallow and not worth wasting time and energy to train.

Under such circumstances, even if the father is unwilling, he must agree. "

When Lu Shun heard this, he was shocked. He heard another meaning from Meng Xi's words. It seemed that he could make his brother Meng Wen sick or even die anytime and anywhere?

So, is it someone close to the second young master, someone placed by the young master?

Thinking more deeply, if the young master had not considered the reaction of the elders, would the young master really let the second young master "die of illness"?

This question lingered in Lu Shun's mind. Although he knew very well that his young master was a cold-tempered and ruthless person, after all, he was a close sibling of a compatriot, so he shouldn't be!

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Shun swallowed and asked nervously,

"Then, since that's the case, is the young master planning to use this opportunity to damage the Fourth Young Master's reputation?"

Meng Xi smiled and said nothing, turned his gaze to the sky with white clouds to the west, and said in an ethereal tone,

"Maybe, if he can't win this duel, then the humiliation caused by the defeat, the blow to his reputation, and the disappointment of his father and uncle will be enough to take revenge on him.

And he will never know that the cause of this matter is me, but only thinks that this is an important responsibility for the family, which is difficult to refuse.

In fact, he would even vent his anger on the second child. After all, if the second child hadn't quit temporarily, how could he make a fool of himself?

For me, wouldn’t it be very advantageous! "

Not only can he express today's anger and resentment, but he can also drive a wedge between Meng Zhao and Meng Wen. Killing two birds with one stone is indeed very beneficial to Meng Xi.

However, Lu Shun still couldn't understand,

“If this is the case, wouldn’t it be detrimental to the interests of our Meng family?

Moreover, once the mine dispute fails, our Meng family may not be able to live up to its former strength when facing the Sun family.

People in the county and even those in Jizhou will flock over to pursue each other and build momentum for the Sun family. Should the young master think about it again? "

Praising the high and suppressing the low has always been the trend and behavior of power. It has nothing to do with individuals and is all for profit. Lu Shun's words are very likely to happen.

There can be personal disputes of loyalty, but they must not harm the interests of the collective. This is a matter of principle.

If Meng Xi really couldn't understand this and was really unworthy of being the master of the Meng family, Lu Shun would have some thoughts in his heart.

Loyalty is true, but no matter how loyal he is, he is still a person with his own thoughts, his own way of thinking and his own judgment.

Meng Xi smiled confidently and suddenly stood up from the chair, his body upright and his eyebrows raised.

The whole person exuded a powerful and domineering aura, and billowing heat waves steamed the air, putting the entire courtyard in a furnace. He said proudly,

"Losing? In my dictionary, Meng Xi, there is no such word losing.

There is also Lao Wu, a boy with such high talent that even his father praised him. He once personally praised him as the tiger of our family and was extremely brave.

Who among people of similar age can surpass him? "

Lu Shun then remembered that his young master's martial arts skills were unpredictable. Not only did he practice the magical skills of the Meng family's Red Flag Command, he was also familiar with some martial arts from the Confucius family, a sage family.

There is another fifth son who is extremely talented and a martial arts madman. In terms of pure talent, he is probably the number one in the Meng family now, and he has high hopes.

Facing the Sun family, which has always attracted foreign masters for their own use, this winning rate is really high.

But, what if?

But in case of this, Lu Shun didn't dare to say it.

Because he knew Meng Xi's temper very well, even if he said it, it would only make the young master angry without any help.

However, Lu Shun still has another question,

"What if the fourth young master wins? How should the young master face the fourth young master?"

Hearing these words, Meng Xi's aura and arrogance subsided, and the surging inner energy was withdrawn from his body, and he said lightly,

"If he can win, he will certainly be worthy of my special attention. It will not be too late to recruit him by then.

Strong people always mean respect, right? "

Lu Shun sighed, as expected, the young master knew his priorities after all.

If this is true, it will not only be a blessing for the young master, but also a blessing for the Meng family.

It's just that this group of people couldn't have expected it, and the current Meng Zhao can never guess it with common sense.
