"Do you mean that your father's retreat cultivation this time is to prepare for a breakthrough and Dacheng, and after Dacheng, no one will be his opponent?" The eldest lady nodded: "Our family's spells have been passed down from generation to generation, and my father has accepted three other disciples in addition to me, two of whom have also been seen, the senior brother is no longer there, and the second senior brother is now locked up, and no one is allowed to approach!" Pingtou frowned slightly, it turned out that the city lord had said three disciples, and he asked curiously, "What about the third disciple?" Why have I been here for so long and have never seen that little disciple?" Wan Ting blinked her eyes: "That little disciple is my father's favorite, of course, the reason for true love is not his attainments in spells, it's just that he is still young, for a father who has no son, even if he is half a son, so during the period of my father's retreat, that little disciple has been taking care of her by the way, so you have never seen ......" Pingtou frowned tightly, listening to Wanting's words, the little disciple was only seventeen years old, and he was still mentally immature.

And the relationship between him and the city lord is quite good, he is an orphan, and after the city lord adopts it, he is really raised as his own son......

Pingtou suddenly spit out a sentence, that means that the youngest son was raised by the city lord with great effort, is it possible for him to pass on the position of the city lord a hundred years later to this little disciple who loves him with all his heart? Pingtou knew that when he asked Wan Ting such a question, Wan Ting must have been repulsed in her heart.

In his opinion, in addition to his father, these three brothers were also among his relatives, and he did not believe that any of the three people had a rebellious heart against his father.

Especially the little disciple she regarded as her own brother, that little disciple had a fairly vivid name called Zhang Xiaodi.

Probably because the city lord treats him as his most beloved youngest son, so he gave him such a name, and he always takes it with him, probably because he also wants to teach him carefully and train him to be his successor.

In fact, these phenomena are no longer a secret in the mansion, and Wan Ting naturally has heard of it, so she coughed lightly.

"These things were originally the private affairs of our Zhang family*, it was not good to talk to you, since you have asked, I can explain to you a little, the relationship between the three brothers is very delicate, although it seems to be harmonious on the surface, but because of the difference in temper and temperament, there have been some contradictions, but because my father is still there, they dare not make too much trouble, and they are all given by my father's means. ”

According to Wanting, the senior brother Liu Chengzhi is indeed easier to fight, he does not have much covetousness for the position of the city lord after a hundred years of the master, he always feels that he can worship under the master, which is already a very glorious thing, but as a big disciple, he has won the support of many people in the mansion.

These people chewed their tongues a lot in private, and they felt that Liu Chengzhi was the best candidate to inherit the unit.

Pingtou reached out and touched his chin: "I can understand that this kind of thing, it's not Liu Chengzhi who can compromise or back down alone, when more and more people gather around him and it becomes a party, things will be formed?"

"My father is a wise man, and in addition to his cultivation, he also pays more attention to many things in the mansion, especially about the three disciples...... After the formation of the senior brother's party, the second senior brother was naturally not to be outdone, because many people believed that the second senior brother was very smart and resolute, and he was not comparable to the senior brother who had always been honest and kind, and he was the best candidate to succeed the city lord. ”

Some people support the boss, and naturally some people will support *, after all, in this process of winning the heir, it is their ultimate goal to be able to gain the greatest benefits.

Therefore, in the eyes of some people, the formation of a party is an inevitable thing, but what these people did not expect was that in addition to the two disciples who finally entered the competition, there was also the third disciple who was unknown and not very old, so that no one took it seriously! The reason is that the city lord's care for the third disciple has gone beyond the scope of ordinary disciples, and it seems that it has regarded that Zhang Xiaodi as his own son, and this kind of thing is a little delicate.

"So what? there is another party of the third disciple?" Wan Ting shook her head: "The third junior brother is still a relatively pure person, after all, he is very young and does not understand the struggle between parties, so there are not many people around him, even if some people speak to him, the pure third junior brother seems to be a deaf ear." ”

In this way, before the third force could be formed, the city lord announced his retreat, and said that during his retreat, the third disciple Zhang Xiaodi would take care of him alone, so that the entire mansion was already full of turmoil.

Pingtou naturally understands that this matter is more complicated than he imagined, and the person who really killed Liu Chengzhi must have coveted the taste of maturity, so except for Zhang Xiaodi, who has no desire to fight, the most suspicious person is really Huangfu...... The eldest lady couldn't help but sigh: "I know, if I tell you these complicated things, you will definitely laugh at us, I was originally a senior brother with deep feelings, but for the position of a city lord, my father is still very young, strong, and his skills are still growing greatly, so what is the point of competing for the position of city lord now?" Pingtou frowned slightly, he seemed to have heard something terrible again, supporting the young and strong and profound.

The elements of these messages were flat-headed, and his brain kept spinning, and he seemed to have avoided or even missed a question from the beginning, and when he picked it up again, the flat head suddenly felt that things had become a little incredible.

"Wanting, let me ask you, what role does Shi Tu Lei play in this matter? Does he also covet the position of city lord? Or will he secretly support a certain disciple?" Although he has not been in contact with that Situ Lei for a long time, he can see that he is the most scheming in the entire Yucheng Mansion.

Pingtou can't even grasp the trajectory of this guy's actions and inner thoughts, it is obvious that it is absolutely impossible for him to stay out of this turbulent battle for the heir, with his identity and the city government, it is estimated that he has already intervened in this matter, but outsiders can't see it.

Wanting hesitated for a while: "To be honest, Situ Lei is still quite loyal to my father, at least on the surface, he does not favor anyone, maybe in his opinion, who is elected, the next city lord will not make a big difference to him, after all, he is about the same age as my father......" Wanting did not say it more clearly, but in his heart, his father must have lived a long life, after all, his spell cultivation is getting higher and higher.

He could even feel his father getting younger and younger in the process of cultivating spells, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly disappeared, and he became a young man.

Before the eldest lady could ask her father what kind of exercises he was practicing, whether he could pass them on to herself, and also allow herself to be able to maintain her face and never grow old, her father had already hurriedly entered the retreat stage.

The eldest lady was still a little unhappy in her heart, he thought that one day when his father's cultivation would end and he would break through, he would have to complain about him as a father.

But this time, some things that were very ordinary in Wan Ting's eyes felt extremely strange in Pingtou's eyes, and he always felt that the Jade City Lord was not as calm as everyone imagined during the period of retreat...... After understanding the situation, Pingtou grabbed Wanting's arm with his hand: "By the way, I have two very important things to find you, you go to the dungeon with me now, I think with your identity will definitely move the other party and let you in!" Or shouldn't you agree?" Of course, he was going to agree, Pingtou's face was very serious at this time: "I wasn't joking with you just now, this matter is not only related to me, but also has a very big relationship with you!" Wan Ting will be suspicious, he doesn't know whether Pingtou is coaxing himself when he says this? Or is it a bit of truth? He doesn't believe that his father, as the owner of Yucheng's mansion, means that his safety will really be threatened, but the situation in front of him makes him more and more unable to see clearly.

He always felt that in the entire huge courtyard, the only one who could be trusted was Pingtou an outsider, and the rest were all mysterious, hiding his own careful thoughts in his heart.

She couldn't understand any of them, so Wanting sighed softly and patted her flat shoulder.

"Okay, you come with me, but my ability is also limited, although I am the eldest lady, but if the housekeeper wants to stop our pace, it is estimated that those people will not listen to me, this is called a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake." ”

Pingtou knew that the guards guarding the dungeon were all Situ Lei's subordinates, and he did this with two considerations.

If Wanting can really take him in safely and soundly, it will prove that he has thought too much about each other, and he can see Huangfu Songtao in person, and he must ask things clearly.

If even the eldest lady can't break through this barrier, it proves that Situ Lei already has a small plan in his heart, and he has slowly hollowed out the power of the eldest lady and even the city lord.

In this way, Wanting took Pingtou and swaggered to the vicinity of the dungeon hidden deep in the backyard, and the nearby guards saw Pingtou dangling around again, and immediately became alert.

Pingtou could see that Situ Lei must have explained something to them, and even in the process of explaining, he may have listed Pingtou as the primary target, and Pingtou must not be allowed to enter.

Wanting coughed lightly and rushed over with a step that the six relatives did not recognize.

After all, once something happens to the city lord, this eldest lady can be regarded as the person with the highest status at the bottom of the kettle.

Everyone had to take a look at it, including these low-level minds, and they were no exception, and these people nodded and said hello immediately when they saw the eldest lady coming over.
