Late at night, Zhao Guiting was in the study, standing next to the bookcase, holding a wolf brush, copying the preface of the Lanting Collection of Wang Xizhi of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Today's meeting between the heads of the Quartet always made him feel uneasy.

In the past, Yunzhou, Haiyan River was clear, the ancient well was not waveless, and the six major families were already at the top, although the undercurrent was surging, but at least on the surface there was a harmonious atmosphere.

But since Ji Haotian came back, everything has changed.

The lord of the Kyushu Pavilion is the existence of the supreme of Huaxia, not to mention the small Yunzhou, even if he is in the imperial capital Yanjing, I am afraid that there are very few people who dare to provoke him.

As Ji Haotian, he is already domineering enough in Yunzhou, and no one can stop him.

But he didn't want to, but the Zhao family encountered Ji Haotian several times and suffered many losses.

Zhao Guiting, as one of the few people in Yunzhou who knew Ji Haotian's true identity, was very jealous of him, and when the heads of several families met today, Zhao Guiting heard that Ding Jinchong and others wanted to take revenge on Ji Haotian, and his heart also rose with joy.

But at the moment, I calmed down, and I was a little afraid.

No matter how terrifying Ji Haotian is, he is flesh and blood after all, as long as he is a human, the degree of strength is limited, if he gathers the forces of the Ding, Luan, and Zhou families, and wants to fight him, it is not without a chance of winning.

But what if not?

Once these three lose, then with Ji Haotian's character, Zhao Guiting doesn't have to think deeply, he can think that there must be another bloody storm next, and even when Ji Haotian is angry, it is possible to wipe out the three valves in a row.

In this way, the Zhao family is indeed the dominant family in Yunzhou, but after all, they still have to face Ji Haotian.

Zhao Guiting originally thought that Ji Haotian returned to Yunzhou just to avenge the revenge of the extermination of the clan back then, and when the enemy was wiped out, he should naturally leave, after all, with his identity, there was no need to establish prestige in Yunzhou at all.

Because of this, Zhao Guiting always retreated, in order to wait for the plague god to take revenge and leave on his own.

But now, the enemy of the Ji family in Yunzhou has turned into a barren mound, but not only did he not leave, but he continued to anger several major local forces, it seems that Ji Haotian has the intention of staying in Yunzhou for a long time, at least in the short term, he will not leave.

Once Ji Haotian really doesn't plan to leave, and the other three valves plan fails, as the head of the largest family in Yunzhou in the future, he will definitely have more or less friction with Ji Haotian.

thought of the fact that he was forced to kneel in public by Ji Haotian.

Zhao Guiting's scalp was numb, and his blood was surging.

The mood was disturbed, and the pen in his hand was crooked, marking an ink mark on the paper.

"Knock knock!"

The knock on the door rang out at the right time, and Zhao Guiting's concubine Long Shi held a tea tray and slowly walked to the desk.

Although the Long family is in his early fifties, because the Zhao family is noble, he is very well maintained, he looks like he is at most thirty years old, and his figure is graceful, and he has not been out of shape at all.

"Master, it's getting late, and I saw that you hadn't rested yet, so I ordered my subordinates to cook some ginseng soup that calms your nerves and helps you sleep, and you drink it while it's hot. ”

Long's family, as a partial house, is usually pressed to death by Fang Haoyue, the wife of the main house, but now that Fang Haoyue has died, she has gradually gained the upper hand, just like a wife in charge, after serving ginseng soup, Long's took down a winter coat from the hanger and gently put it on Zhao Guiting's shoulder: "How many times have I told you, the weather is cold, you must dress more, be careful of the wind and cold, but you just can't remember." ”

"No problem. ”

Zhao Guiting put down his pen, took a sip of ginseng soup: "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Alas......"

Long sighed: "Just now, Qing'er's injury recurred, and his pain was unbearable, so I have been by my side, I am depressed, how can I sleep." ”

"Be content. ”

Zhao Guiting scolded: "Shang Qing's arms are broken, if it weren't for my Zhao Valve's strong power, how could I connect the broken arms to him." ”

"Having said that, Qing'er is my own flesh and blood after all, and seeing him tortured, how can I be at peace in my heart. ”

The Long family paused slightly, and then changed his words and said: "Master, I heard from the people in the house, in the recent days, there have been women coming and going every day in the courtyard of Young Master Shang Jun, and there are a lot of them, most of them are popular singers and movie stars, if it goes on like this, I am afraid it is not a long-term solution, after all, Shang Jun is your eldest son and the heir to the position of the head of the family, if he has a reputation for being unscrupulous, then ......"

"Something like this?!"

When Zhao Guiting heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and a little angry look flashed: "Didn't I order him to be grounded in another courtyard and not allowed anyone to contact him, why are there still women who go there frequently?"

"I only found out from listening to people's chatter, and I don't know the specific reason. ”

Long immediately waved his hand to deny it, but inadvertently showed a sly smile.

She naturally wouldn't admit that women could enter and leave Zhao Shangjun's mansion, and the rumors that Zhao Shangqing was about to take over as the head of the family were all at her behest.

The gate valve is frightening, step by step.

Long's move was to prepare to make Zhao Shangjun addicted to wine, so that Zhao Guiting would be angry with him.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, when Zhao Guiting heard this, he angrily slammed the brush on the table: "Rebel! Now that her mother's bones are not cold, he is actually addicted to wine all day long, which is ridiculous! Now that the family has a lot of chores, it doesn't matter if he can't help me share my worries, he is such a bastard! I'm so angry!"

The Long family seemed to persuade, but in fact, he added fuel to the fire and said: "Master, Young Master Shangjun has just died of his biological mother, and he is already in a bad mood, maybe he is just using this to dispel his sorrows, I think, but I can understand." ”

"Bastard, have you ever seen someone pay tribute to their deceased mother through women!"

Zhao Guiting shouted angrily, and the Long clan was silent.

"Sir!"

At this moment, the housekeeper Zhao Zhong stood outside the door, said hello softly, and then walked into the room: "Just now, someone came to report, Young Master Shang Jun was about to leave in the courtyard, and after being forcibly stopped by the guards, he actually forced him to die, saying that he must see you today, otherwise, he will hang himself in another courtyard!"

"Bastard, how can I, a member of the Zhao Valve clan, be so unconcerned about my own life!"

Zhao Guiting was already angry, but when he heard the words at this moment, he was even more furious: "Bring this rebel to the study immediately, and I'll see what he wants to do!"

A moment later.

Zhao Shangjun, accompanied by two guards, walked into Zhao Guiting's study.

"You guys, come down with me!"

Zhao Zhong saw that Zhao Guiting was in a bad mood and knew that he was going to teach Zhao Shangjun a lesson, so he immediately waved his hand and hid out with a few subordinates.

Anyway, Zhao Shangjun is also the eldest son of Zhao Valve, if he really made a fool of himself today, then how could it be good to wait for the person who took over the power in the future and saw him punished?

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Shangjun smiled and sat on the chair opposite the bookcase with a big grin: "Father, long time no see." ”

"Zhao Shangjun, do you still have any rules, your father didn't let you sit down, how dare you sit down by yourself!"

When the Long family saw Zhao Shangjun's appearance, he immediately scolded with a cold face.

"Thief woman, you are just a concubine of my father, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at me here!"

Zhao Shangjun shouted, his eyes full of disdain: "If my mother is still here, what qualifications do you have to appear in this study!"

"You, you ......"

The Long family was scolded by Zhao Shangjun, his face was full of grievances, but his heart was overjoyed, after all, the more rude Zhao Shangjun behaved, the more angry Zhao Guiting became, so that Zhao Shangqing's chances of ascending to the throne were a few points greater.

It's just that the Long family never expected that today's Zhao Shangjun is no longer thinking about the balance of power, but preparing to forcibly seize the throne.
