Chapter 205: The situation of the four major families

Zhan Wushuang found Zhao Feier and told her that he would stay here for a few days.

Zhao Feier also needed to prepare new horses and carriages, so she agreed readily.

What Zhan Wushuang didn't know was that because of the few days he stayed there, the students of the academy arrived at the Monster Forest earlier than them. They set out in a straight line without going through the imperial capital. And for some reason, many students came to the academy.

"In fact, it's a good thing that the carriage was destroyed. Now there will be no surveillance formation!" Zhan Wushuang heard what Zhao Fei'er said, but shook his head and said, "Maybe one of the four people including Li Qing is President Pei's spy."

"Oh! Who do you suspect?" Zhao Feier asked puzzledly.

"No, I don't suspect anyone, it's just a hunch. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you. How much do you know about the Zhang family in the imperial capital? Tell me about the four major families in the imperial city." Zhan Wushuang saw that Zhang Dong always deliberately avoided him, so he wanted to ask Zhao Feier first.

"The Zhang family was originally one of the four major families in the imperial city, just like our Zhao family, but now it has become more worthy of the name. In addition to our two families, there are also the Sun family and the Xu family. These are the four major families in the imperial city." Zhao Feier looked at Zhan Wushuang in confusion. She didn't understand why the other party was so interested in the Zhang family.

My goodness, these four major families are all related to me! Zhan Wushuang sighed inwardly.

"Although the Zhang family is a little lonely now, no one in the imperial city dares to look down on them. Because the Zhang family has a troublesome poison master, and the Zhang family is lonely because of this poison master."

"Is his name Zhang Jianren?" Zhan Wushuang was very confused. Based on his current understanding, Grandpa Zhang's strength was not very strong.

"Yes, it's Senior Zhang Jianren. He caused a big disturbance in the imperial city back then, which led to the current situation."

"That's not right? How could Zhang Jianren do that with his strength?" Zhan Wushuang asked the question in his mind.

"I'm not sure about this, but I know that the Zhang family has an ancestor with unfathomable strength."

"Ancestor of the Zhang family?" Zhan Wushuang frowned and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Feier continued, "It is said that this ancestor has been in seclusion for many years and rarely shows up, but as long as he is here, the Zhang family will have confidence."

Zhan Wushuang murmured to himself: "It seems that the water in this imperial city is deeper than I thought."

Zhao Feier sighed softly: "That's right, the relationship between the four major families is complicated, and the open and covert struggles never stop."

"What about the other two families? What's the situation with the Sun family and the Xu family?" Zhan Wushuang asked.

Zhao Feier thought for a moment and said, "The Sun family started out as a business family and controls most of the economic lifelines of the imperial city. Their strength should not be underestimated. The Xu family is famous for their martial arts and there are many masters in the family."

Zhan Wushuang nodded and had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the imperial city.

"As for our Zhao family, we also have two ancestors with the strength of the peak level nine." Zhao Feier hesitated for a moment, but still told Zhan Wushuang.

"Needless to say, the Xu family and the Sun family must have some too." Zhan Wushuang continued, "Fei'er, how many boxers with peak level nine strength are there in the Imperial City?"

Zhao Feier thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, there should be no more than ten level nine peak boxers in the open, but whether there are any hidden masters in the dark is unknown."

Zhan Wushuang frowned and said, "It seems that the distribution of power in this imperial city is really complicated."

Zhao Feier nodded and continued, "Moreover, in order to compete for resources and power, these families often have some secret competitions and conspiracies."

"Then what position does your Zhao family occupy in this?" Zhan Wushuang asked.

Zhao Feier sighed slightly and said, "Although our Zhao family is not weak, we have to be cautious in everything. If we are not careful, we may be suppressed by other families. In terms of individual strength, the ancestor of the Zhang family is the strongest, and in terms of economic ability, the Sun family is the strongest. We should be about the same as the Xu family, but the Xu family has not participated in worldly affairs for many years, so I can't say for sure how it is."

"How do the four major families compare to the royal family?" Zhan Wushuang asked curiously.

Zhao Feier was slightly stunned and said: "The royal family has a deep foundation, and its hidden power is hard to estimate. On the surface, the four major families and the royal family are at peace, but in fact, the royal family has always restricted the four major families. In my opinion, the four major families are not worth mentioning in front of the royal family."

Zhan Wushuang nodded thoughtfully, "I see. Are there any alliances or hostilities between these four major families?"

Zhao Feier said: "Relationships are very complicated. Sometimes they will temporarily form an alliance for common interests, and sometimes they will become enemies because of a small matter. Just like our Zhao family and the Xu family, we once had a conflict over the ownership of a piece of land, but we once joined forces to fight against the commercial suppression of the Sun family."

"Has there been any big movement among the families recently?" Zhan Wushuang asked.

Zhao Feier thought for a moment and said, "There haven't been any major disputes recently, but I heard that the Sun family is secretly planning something, and I don't know the details."

"The Sun family! It seems that the Sun family is indeed not simple!" Zhan Wushuang said to himself.

"Why isn't it simple?" Zhao Feier asked puzzledly.

Zhan Wushuang shook his head and did not tell the other party about the dark element practitioner.

"Fei'er, is this all you know about the Zhang family?" Zhan Wushuang quickly changed the subject.

"I have been following my master in South City for the past few years, so I don't know much about the affairs of the Imperial City." The two chatted briefly about some trivial matters, and Zhan Wushuang stood up and walked out of Zhao Feier's room.

As Zhan Wushuang walked out of the room, Hong Ling jumped out and grabbed him: "Brother Xu, what have you been talking about in my sister's room for so long?"

Zhan Wushuang was startled, then smiled helplessly and said, "It's nothing important, just chatting casually." He thought to himself that he should not have blocked Dian Wei, Xu Chu and the others. After the Tai Chi totem was complete, it was just right to block the three of them, so that even if the three of them quarreled, no one could hear them.

Hong Ling said with disbelief: "Brother Xu, please don't lie to me. I don't believe it."

Zhan Wushuang tapped Hong Ling's head gently and said, "Don't ask nonsense, kid."

Hong Ling rubbed his head and muttered, "Humph, I'm not a child. Brother Xu, then tell me about it."

Zhan Wushuang said: "It's nothing really, I just want to ask about the situation of the various families in the Imperial City."

Hong Ling blinked curiously and said, "Brother Xu, why are you asking this? Do you want to join a certain family?"

Zhan Wushuang shook his head and said, "Don't guess, I'm just curious."

Just then, Wenjie came over and said, "Hongling, stop bothering Brother Xu. We still have our own things to do."

Hong Ling said reluctantly: "Okay, okay, Brother Xu, I'll go first then."

Looking at the backs of Hong Ling and Wen Jie as they left, Zhan Wushuang sighed slightly, thinking that the situation in the imperial city was becoming more and more complicated, and he must be more careful in dealing with it.

However, what Zhan Wushuang didn't know was that Hong Ling Wenjie came over here on purpose.
