Lord Qing led some ministers out of the house, listening to the cries inside and out, and their faces were solemn.

No matter what grievances he had with Xiahou Tuo, it has passed, and the situation of Xiahou Tuo's oil running out and the lamp withering is like a heavy stone pressing on their hearts, and they don't know if they will have this day.

Qingzhu and a group of ministers did not stay, so they left, Xiahou Chengyu still did not leave, and it was estimated that it would not be appropriate to leave until Xiahou Tuo was buried. In fact, there is nothing to bury, the people are gone, and if you want to get a clothed mound, you still have to go through the necessary process, it is estimated that the Xiahou family does not want people to say that their children and grandchildren are not good, and the face of the big family is particularly important, and there are too many people watching.

The funeral is a big deal!

During this period, Xiahou Lingtianweng's title was implemented, and there was almost no resistance when passing through the court, which was very smooth.

The news of Xiahou Tuo's death spread all over the world, and the legendary life of Xiahou Tuo began to be discussed over and over again.

After Miao Yi heard the news, he immediately sent a message to Xiahou Chengyu, the queen of heaven, asking for condolences, and at the same time said that he wanted to go to Xiahou's house to worship.

Xiahou Chengyu agreed, but asked him to contact Emei, the reason, Miao Yi naturally knew it, and he and Xiahou Chengyu had to pretend that there was no direct contact.

Emei was contacted here, and Emei quickly asked Wei Shu, and Wei Shu immediately asked Xiahou Ling's opinion, who knew that Xiahou Ling agreed very happily.

After making a little preparation in the Netherworld Mansion, Miao Yi led a team of men and horses to set off quickly.

Before leaving, Miao Yi suddenly received a message from Xu Tangran, saying that Yuan was false and his whereabouts were unknown. Miao Yi wondered, could it be that Yuan Gong also rushed back to worship? It stands to reason that this is impossible, and Yuan Gong dares to reveal his identity?

Xinyi Pavilion, Cao Man was stuffy in the dark room, an incense burner was placed in the house, green smoke curled, and Cao Man, dressed in white, sat quietly on a chair.

There was a knock on the door outside, and then Qi was uninvited, and Cao Man, who was slumped in the chair with his eyes closed, said lightly, "Didn't I tell you? ”

Qijue took a letter in his hand, not a jade, but a letter written on paper, "Dongjia, some people say that he is your good friend and wants to see you, saying that you will know who he is after seeing the letter." ”

Cao Man raised his eyelids, and a strange thing flashed in his eyes, someone actually used this kind of letter to contact him, isn't he afraid that the content of the letter will be exposed?

The letter was received in his hand, and after reading the sealed envelope repeatedly, he tore open the envelope and pulled out a piece of white paper as thin as a cicada's wings from it.

Cao Man frowned, then got up and walked to the corner of the room, poured water into a silver basin, and put the white paper in his hand into the water lightly and smoothly.

The white paper was soaked and discolored, and there was a handwriting on it, just one word, one 'six' word.

Cao Man was stunned for a moment, and the handwriting quickly disappeared, along with the piece of paper, which quickly gelatinized and fell apart, gradually dissolving into the water, leaving no trace.

Only one 'six' character was transmitted, why is it so mysterious, is this 'six' character very important? Cao Man's mind was full of thoughts, his eyes suddenly bloomed, as if he had thought of something, Huo Ran turned around and said, "Where are the people?"

Seven could never send anything dangerous here, he had already cast a spell to check the contents of the envelope in advance, but he didn't find anything, and he didn't know what Cao Man found at this time, so he replied respectfully: "Wait in the living room downstairs." ”

Cao Man: "Please!"

Not long after Qi Jue left, he brought in a bearded man, who was obviously disguised, and he knew it at a glance.

After this person came in, he and Cao Man looked at each other for a while, and then looked at each other, and then the person who came looked at the environment in the room, and his eyes fell on the incense burner, which looked a little gloomy.

Cao Man waved his hand at Qijue, "You step back first, no one is allowed to disturb without my permission." ”

"Yes!" Qijue closed the door after going out.

Cao Man stared at the other party at this time and said indifferently: "I don't know who Zunjia is, why do you pretend to be Cao's friend?"

The person who came said: "Third brother, why do you knowingly ask, since you can let me come up to meet, it means that you understand the meaning of the letter." ”

Cao Man also changed the transmission, "Are you the sixth child?"

The visitor nodded.

Cao Man: "If you don't take off the mask, how can I believe that you are real or fake?"

The person who came came said, "You and my brother have never met, can you recognize me if you take off the mask?"

Cao Man: "Since you came to see me, shouldn't you show your sincerity?"

The person who came shook his head: "The old man had rules before his death, before his identity can be disclosed, we brothers cannot reveal each other's identities, which is also for my safety." ”

Cao Man: "You are so sure that I am your third brother, have you seen me?"

Lai Dao: "You are almost in the open, I don't think any of the other brothers can resist this curiosity, I believe that other people have already seen the third brother." ”

Cao Man: "In this way, wouldn't I suffer too much." ”

Come to the human: "It should be said that the third brother takes advantage, we all know the third brother, but the third brother doesn't even know who our brothers are, who suffers more?"

Cao Man: "How can I tell if your identity is true or false?"

Lai Dao: "The truth of my identity does not matter to the third brother at this time. He walked to the side of the long case, took out two star bells and put them on the table, "The way to leave a direct connection is more important, I think the third brother must know what it means." ”

Cao Man also walked to the side of the desk, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Someone came: "Why should the third brother pretend to be confused." ”

Cao Man: "If you are really the sixth child, do you know what you are doing?"

Visitor: "Of course I know, but the old man is gone, no one knows what the old man will do, I have no intention of confronting the old man's designated master, the old man is wise, there must be a reason for this." I don't want anything to happen to the Xiahou family, none of us can do anything if something happens to the Xiahou family. But we have been unable to see the light for the Xiahou family for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, if I am going to be killed just because of the old man's words, I can't do it, at least I have to give a reason that can convince me. I still mean that, I have no intention of confronting the old man's decision, nor do I intend to fight against the new head of the family, but my life can't be taken by anyone who wants to, at least he doesn't have the qualifications to convince me at the moment, if he can really show that ability, I will admit it, otherwise everyone is a concubine, why is he messing around?"

Cao Man's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be moved at all, "Cao resolutely obeys the old man's decision, and also resolutely supports the new head of the family, who dares to do something unfavorable to the Xiahou family and the head of the family, I will be the first to not let him go!"

What kind of joke, he can't even confirm the identity of the other party, how can he easily believe the other party's words, in case who sent him to tempt? He naturally has to make a clear and resolute attitude, how can he easily fall into the trap, if this is the case, he has been fooled all these years in vain.

Coming: "Third brother, I'm too lazy to guess whether you're telling the truth or not, but the old man has put the lives of a group of brothers into your hands, and you have to take this responsibility." ”

Cao Man: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, the old man didn't leave any trust to me during his lifetime." ”

Commer: "Some entrustment does not need to be said, usually no one can feel it, only at a certain time the person in his position can perceive it, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand, this is what the old man's foresight has to admire." ”

Cao Man: "I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

Someone came: "Is the third brother pretending to be confused or is the authorities confused?" Yes, yes, only those who stand in the open place of the Xiahou family have hope of taking over the position of head of the family, and we have cut off that hope since the day we were incognito. But don't forget one thing, third brother, although the second brother is standing in the bright place, the third brother, you are almost the person standing in the bright place, at least a person who has a semi-public identity!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Man's body trembled slightly, and he seemed to understand something.

The man continued: "I didn't think of this at first, until the real crisis began to approach, when I had to think about retreating, when I wanted to protect myself, when I had no way to find an alliance with other brothers to protect myself, my eyes inevitably stared at you, third brother. Now I can be sure that I am afraid that it is not only me who has this idea, but other brothers must have the same idea as me. It wasn't until this time that I suddenly realized, and I understood why the old man wanted you to make your identity semi-public, why did you let all the brothers in the secret know about your existence, this is a spare back hand left by the old man, and this is a back road left by the old man at a critical moment for our brothers!"

Cao Man looked shocked and couldn't hide it.

Coming: "The old man is a person who has experienced fratricide, he knows the cruelty, but he didn't have a choice back then, I think if it can be avoided, any father will try his best to avoid it, try to avoid the same tragedy in Xiahou's family again." I think the old man has long compared the second brother with the third brother, which is why the old man asked the second brother to stand up, and let the third brother you stand up half. The old man is obviously also worried that the second child's ability is limited, otherwise once he decides to let the second child succeed to the throne, he will help the second child clear our obstacles, but the old man just didn't do this, this is deliberately leaving a back road for us, and also leaving a back road for the Xiahou family! The old man is very clear, knowing that we will not obediently obey, and the power we each have is our last hole card for self-preservation, and we will not easily expose our identities to other brothers to know, which means that we will not easily resist the second child unless we are forced to do so. On this basis, as long as the second child does not take drastic measures to eliminate us, we will naturally cooperate, after all, we don't want the Xiahou family to be unlucky, and the fall of the Xiahou family is not good for us, as long as he has the ability to lead the Xiahou family to move forward, and can convince us, we will naturally surrender, which depends on his ability, and it is also the old man's test for him. But if he doesn't do the right thing and only wants to seize the power to get rid of us, then we can only return the color, the big deal is to get rid of him directly, completely hide underground, let's join hands to do our own, push out our own people and Heavenly Court to talk, the strength is in hand, and we are afraid that Heavenly Court will not give in, and we are afraid that we will not be able to replace him?"
