Chapter 115: Grandfather and Grandson Talk
Wu Song didn't expect Wu Wenqing to ask so directly, he was slightly stunned, and then said: "I don't think it's good, the position of the head of the Wu family, I'm not interested, I just want to live my own way, I don't want to participate in the struggle for power and profit in those big families." ”
Wu Wenqing smiled slightly: "But you have already participated." ”
"I know, you don't want to hand over the Wu family to Wu Lei, the loser, and you also know that Wu Lei's father and son will regard me as their biggest threat. However, what does this have to do with me, I will not recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and I will not get involved in the affairs of the Wu family. ”
"Wu Song, there are many things that you can't hide from if you can't escape, even if you don't return to the Wu family, it can't change the fact that you are a descendant of the Wu family after all. Wu Lei's kid has no ability to master the Wu family at all, if the Wu family is handed over to him, within three years, the Wu family will decline. ”
"However, are you sure that if you hand it over to me, the Wu family will prosper? Maybe within a year, I will completely destroy the Wu family's property. ”
Wu Wenqing's eyes flashed: "Are you such a person?"
Not to be outdone, Wu Song looked at Wu Wenqing's eyes and said, "What kind of person am I, I will call the shots." ”
After staring at Wu Song for a few seconds, Wu Wenqing retracted his gaze and sighed, "I know that you still have hatred for the Wu family because of what happened to your mother back then. However, I will give you the position of the head of the Wu family now, and you will compensate your mother and son, isn't that enough?"
Wu Song smiled coldly: "Compensation? Even if your Wu family goes bankrupt, it can't get my mother's life back." ”
Wu Wenqing looked out the window, and then looked at Wu Song, "Back then, it was I who talked to your mother and asked her to leave the Wu family, so that your father could take over as the head of the family, your mother is a reasonable and good woman, knowing that your mother and son are in the Wu family, it will affect your father, so she agreed to me and take you out of the Wu family." ”
"I originally intended to take your mother and son back after your father took over the position of head of the family, but the world is unpredictable, and when your father learned that your mother and son had left, he went around looking for your whereabouts despite my objections, and this search lasted for five years. In the past five years, your father has not been heard from, and I have no choice but to pass on the position of head of the family to your uncle Wu Zhenguo. ”
"When your father returns, he has no intention of managing the affairs of the family anymore, and he is silent every day. Even if I arranged for him to marry again, he would not resist, and he would be the same as before. Although he has been respectful and filial to me all these years, I know that he has the same hatred for me as you do. ”
Wu Song frowned when he heard this, "You mean, our family of three has come to this point, and all this is your fault?"
Wu Wenqing was slightly stunned, for many years, no one dared to say that he had made a mistake so directly in front of him, his eyes widened, and a force naturally emerged. Although he is not a martial artist, he has mastered the Wu family for many years, and naturally has a terrifying momentum.
If it was an ordinary person, his legs might be weakened by this might, but Wu Song was now in a half-step realm, and Wu Wenqing's momentum was like a breeze blowing on his face to him, and he was not affected in the slightest.
And Wu Song also exuded an aura at this time, and a power ten times stronger than Wu Wenqing suddenly filled the entire room.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared beside Wu Wenqing and withstood Wu Song's coercion.
Wu Song retracted his breath and looked at the person opposite with some surprise, with his current realm, he didn't even find that there was a third person in the room, then there was only one possibility, that is, the person who came was the transformation realm, and it was a transformation realm that was even more powerful than Wei Tengxiang.
"I didn't expect that the Wu family would have two people in charge. ”
Wu Wenqing said to the comer: "Lao He, it's okay, you step back first." ”
Lao He bowed slightly: "Yes, old master." Then he took a few steps back, squinting as if he could fall asleep at any moment.
"Wu Song, what realm are you in now?"
"The pinnacle of the Ming Dao. Wu Song replied truthfully.
Wu Wenqing bowed slightly: "Although I am not a martial artist, I can feel that you are not far from the transformation realm." You should have just turned 20 this year, and to be able to reach such a state at such a young age is truly a genius of the past. ”
"Speaking of which, this is also thanks to you, if you hadn't driven our mother and son out of the Wu family back then, I wouldn't have met Master, let alone today's martial arts cultivation. After speaking, Wu Song changed his words: "However, I would rather give up this body of cultivation in exchange for my mother's life." ”
Wu Wenqing sighed after hearing this: "That's it, Wu Song, what happened back then was grandpa's fault, and grandpa apologized to you." ”
When Lao He heard that Wu Wenqing had admitted his mistake to Wu Song, Gu Jing Wubo's face showed a shocked expression for many years, but then he figured out that a martial arts wizard like Wu Song could reach the realm of transformation. If Wu Song can take over as the head of the Wu family, then the Wu family will have three realms. What's more, Wu Song's transformation realm is so young, at least it can ensure that the Wu family can maintain the family's superiority in the highest strength for fifty or sixty years.
If it is just an apology that can be exchanged for decades of prosperity of the Wu family, then the value of this apology is really immeasurable.
Wu Song didn't expect Wu Wenqing to apologize to him, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I accept your apology, but I will not return to the Wu family, I still want to continue to live my life." ”
Wu Wenqing didn't expect that he would let go of his identity and apologize to Wu Song, Wu Song still refused to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he sighed, knowing that a while and a half would not make Wu Song let go of his hatred for many years, so he said: "Okay, Wu Song, the door of the Wu family is open to you at any time, within three years, as long as you are willing, the position of the head of the Wu family is still yours." ”
"Why bother?"
"Since I have made a promise to you, I naturally have my reasons. ”
After a pause, Wu Wenqing continued: "However, there is one thing I hope you can promise me. ”
"What's the matter?"
"If Zhenguo and Wu Lei do anything out of the ordinary in the future, I hope you will spare their lives for the sake of blood relationship. ”
Wu Song frowned slightly after hearing this: "If you are afraid that they will die at my hands, then let them settle down and don't mess with me." ”
Wu Wenqing was silent, he knew Wu Zhenguo's temperament, and he would do anything in order to give the position of the head of the family, but after all, it was his own children and grandchildren, and he didn't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.
"Wu Song, I don't ask you to promise me, but I want you to remember that I once said such things. ”
Wu Song nodded: "Okay, as long as they don't do too much, I will spare their lives." ”
"By the way, I heard that you are with that girl from the Zhong family, right?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
Wu Wenqing smiled: "That old man of the Zhong family is not as easy to talk as me, if you want to marry his granddaughter, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble." ”
"Qianqian has left the Zhong family, and it is not the turn of the Zhong family to take care of Qianqian. ”
Wu Wenqing shook his head: "If Old Man Zhong didn't give that girl to Wu Lei, it's okay to talk about this matter, but Old Man Zhong is very stubborn, without him nodding, you and the girl of the Zhong family can't live in peace." ”
Wu Song didn't care: "No one can stop me from talking to Qianqian, if the Zhong family dares to interfere, I will make the Zhong family pay the price!"
Wu Wenqing originally wanted to say that Wu Song didn't know the height of the sky, but then he thought about it again, with Wu Song's current realm, although he was invincible to the transformation realm, if he wanted to secretly destroy the Zhong family, it would be easy. As long as he avoids the transformation realm and assassinates some high-level core figures of the Zhong family, it will inevitably cause chaos in the Zhong family. And if the Zhong family is in chaos, other families will definitely take the opportunity to encroach on the Zhong family's power, and the whole of Kyoto will fall into chaos.
The reason why the four major families in Kyoto can coexist peacefully and maintain the balance of power is not because of the wealth and power of the family in the final analysis, but because the four major families all have the power of the transformation realm, which is like the major powers have nuclear weapons, deterring each other, and no one dares to cross the bottom line of the other.
"Wu Song, I really don't want to see that day coming. ”
Wu Song smiled slightly: "I don't want to either, but I've always been a person who doesn't offend me, I don't offend anyone." ”
"If my guess is right, Old Man Zhong will look for you in the next two days, but don't worry, he must know about the matter of seeing you today, and he will not do anything to you if he is afraid of the Wu family. ”
As soon as Wu Wenqing finished speaking, he suddenly coughed violently.
Lao He hurriedly said: "Old master, you are tired today, hurry up and rest." ”
After Wu Wenqing coughed a few more times, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I was happy to see Wu Song, and I wanted to talk to him more, but this body is too unlucky, old, and useless." ”
Wu Song saw that Wu Wenqing's face was pale, so he stretched out his hand to check Wu Wenqing's pulse, and then a puzzled look appeared on his face. Because judging from the pulse, Wu Wenqing has internal injuries that have accumulated for many years, and if he can't eradicate it, it is estimated that he will have three or four years of life left.
"Have you had internal injuries?"
Lao He took over the words and replied with a guilty face: "Ten years ago, the old master was assassinated, and it was because I didn't protect the old family master well, so that the old family owner was shocked to the lobes of the lungs. ”
"Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the head of the Wu family?"
Wu Wenqing said: "National leaders have also encountered assassinations, not to mention that I am just the head of a family, and I have encountered no less than ten assassinations over the years. But this time, I didn't find out who was behind the scenes. ”
Wu Song didn't want to ask more about these old things, he took out a pill and handed it to Wu Wenqing, and said, "You take it, it's good for the internal injuries." ”
Lao He saw that Wu Wenqing stretched out his hand to take it, and hurriedly said: "Old master, ......"
Wu Wenqing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Wu Song is my grandson, can he still harm me?" After speaking, he swallowed the pill in one gulp. Then I only felt a sense of coolness swimming all over the viscera, and my breathing became easier and smoother.
Wu Song waited for a few seconds, and felt that the effect of the medicine was almost gone, so he reached out and massaged a few acupoints on Wu Wenqing's chest, and then turned around and patted Wu Wenqing's back gently, Wu Wenqing coughed violently, and spit out a mouthful of blood with thick phlegm.
Wu Wenqing suddenly felt refreshed, as if he had not suffered any internal injuries at all.
He looked surprised and said, "Wu Song, I didn't expect you to have such achievements in medical skills. ”
