Chapter 3: Kong Clan
To the south of Cuenca city, a villa occupies an extremely broad area, can say that one-half of the southern city incorporated into this villa.
Cuenca City in the Cangnan empire, although is not a major city port, but is also a well-established local city, can have such big dwelling in such city, thoroughly explained the power and influence of villa"s owner!
In fact, in Cuenca city, Kong Clan is known to everybody. After all Kong in the Cuenca city is one of the two large clans, at least 30% of people in the city are clinging to the Kong family industry to survive.
In the Cangnan empire, Kong family name is uncommon, can become Kong clan n.o.ble, in the entire empire is unique, because that is the Kong Clan of Cangnan empire!
The Cangnan Empire founded 500 years ago, initially the first King Hu Shuo with his grand skill and strategy, founded a mercenary corps, involved in warfare eventually establishing an empire.
Initially, two big heroes fought for state power with Hu Shuo, due to their outstanding services, after founding the Cangnan Empire, bestowed dukedom, their posterity may inherit the t.i.tle.
One of them is the ancestor of Kong Clan, Kong Xiu.
Regarding most people, the Kong Clan ancestor Kong Xiu is a very mystical person, none knew of his birth origin, but his ability can say to be world-shaking.
The folk even has a rumor: Kong Xiu comes from the overseas continent, under some coincidence arrived in Tianyuan Continent, helped Hu Shuo to found the Cangnan empire.
The unknown continent in overseas, remained only a legend in Tianyuan Continent, no one can confirm this truth, this makes Kong Clan for several hundred years, has been cast a layer of mysterious coat.
Kong Xiu alone appeared in Tianyuan Continent, but Kong family after several hundred years of multiplication, already grown into a lush tree with branches and leaves. Now the Kong Clan Main branch younger generation already has several hundred people. If counting the collateral branch, as well as the attached influence under Kong, in the Cangnan empire is a jumbo existence!
Kong Clan"s hereditary duke position, only the son of the first wife, is capable of inheriting, for several hundred years in Kong Clan presented many outstanding talents, have been bestowed a t.i.tle by the empire, so t.i.tle in the Kong clan numbers hundred!
Kong in Cuenca city, calculates from the blood relationship should be the arteries of the third son of ancestor Kong Xiu, but became estranged with the Kong Clan main branch, can only be the collateral branch of Kong clan. However, in Cuenca city, even if is only the collateral branch of Kong clan, that is also the significant influence that ranks among the best, sufficiently becomes the overlord of the place.
Therefore, Kong can have that big domain in the Cuenca city, does not feel strange.
The incident of purple lightning pa.s.sed for three days and three nights, in the Kong villa in a lonesome and a quiet courtyard, an active and healthy youth, with eyes closed is lying on the bed, seems asleep not yet sober.
This youth is the Kong second young master hit by purple lightning!
These days, Kong second, remained unconscious, but the functions of various parts of the body are very normal, his father Kong Jun tried many means but unable to wake him, can only let him lay rest in the room.
Kong Jun is the Kong patriarch in Cuenca city, inherited the empire"s Baron t.i.tle from the ancestors. The t.i.tle Baron is nothing in the face of Kong leading clan. But in empire"s remote Cuenca city, is a most prominent great person!
In the entire Cuenca city, can treat as an equal with Kong Jun by status, is Baron Chang Xi, the patriarch of Chang clan!
Chang clan, is the locally born wealthy and powerful family, it is said that before Cuenca formed into a city, ancestors of Chang clan took root above this lands. Initially, when Cuenca city integrated into the empire, Chang clan surrendered immediately, helping the empire grasp the Cuenca city at maximum speed, thus attained the t.i.tle as a baron, promoted to n.o.bility officially!
Chang family was the only n.o.ble clan in Cuenca city before Kong family appeared.
Kong Jun of this Kong arteries inherited the t.i.tle of Baron, from his grandfather"s generation, a low-rank t.i.tle, therefore villa that obtains can only be located in the remote areas of Cuenca city.
Since Kong clan came to Cuenca city, the relationship with Chang clan are not so harmonious, and reason naturally is one mountain cannot contain two tigers. But a little Cuenca city, how could hold two important families?
Rival to Kong clan, Chang family occupied one-half of the northern Cuenca city. But North cannot compare to be wealthy like the south. It also caused the influence of Chang clan in 500 years, be inferior to the Kong clan four generations.
Three days ago when lightning struck Kong second, that silver-haired old man with Kong Jun, is Baron Chang Xi, the patriarch of Chang family.
Because both of them has the hostility, Chang Xi didn"t like Kong Jun, so he made several conflicting remarks.
The fat person with Chang Xi is the current city lord of Cuenca city Luo Zheng. What he represents is the empire official, although doesn’t have the t.i.tle, but is also a character who Kong Jun, Chang Xi treat as an equal.
As for that beautiful middle-aged woman, is the president of Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the Cuenca city, the influence of chamber of commerce is also many, therefore her status is somewhat component. Also, she is a female, not only pretty like the flower, but means of communication is also talented, mingles with several significant influences, achieves success in one way or another.
Kong Jun, Chang Xi, and adding the two of them again, represents the four big shots of the Cuenca City. Three days ago they to trace the purple lightning, they simultaneously appeared in the temple, this is considered an extremely rare meeting. However, although they came quick, but had not seen the situation when purple lightning struck Kong second, naturally cannot a.s.sociate the reason that Kong second remains unconscious, is unexpectedly related with purple lightning.
But at this time, Kong second who remained unconscious for three days and three nights suddenly opened his eyes!!
