The moon is dark and the wind is high, the weather is gloomy, and it should have been a quiet time, but Nangong's house is very lively.

It's not because it's a holiday, it's just every day, except for some remote places, there are always people in a hurry.

Zhou Zixuan was holding a wine gourd in his hand, the wine was fragrant, he and the steward Wei in front of him also wanted to take a deeper look when he said this, he was not sure if this old man would fall in love with Nangong Lu even more.

Zhou Zixuan's mind seemed to be completely seen through by the old man's cloudy eyes, and he didn't mind, shaking the wine gourd in his hand, pointing to the distance, and said in a dry voice: "Little master, what do you think of the Nangong family?"

Zhou Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the vast manor in the capital, which was not much better than Han Tingmei's residence, Zhou Zixuan replied leisurely: "Wealthy, the capital is second to none, how many people yearn for the place, but I don't like it." ”

Zhou Zixuan is telling the truth, he is more eager for Mingchuan Xiulin than to operate these, and he is more eager to eat and play with Liuli until he is old, enjoy the sunrise and sunset every day, and enjoy this hard-won love.

Otherwise, he wouldn't really give up the Yuexuan Group that he had pulled together.

As he said, no matter how magnificent this place is, whether he likes it or not, he never thought of taking the position of master from Nangong Lu's hands, all he thought about was revenge.

"Haha, the eldest lady and Zhou Xiaozi also said the same thing back then, saying that you are not suitable. The eldest lady sees people very accurately, even if it is her own child, she does not force him to follow his own path, even if she hopes that the head of this family is you. "Steward Wei takes a sip of wine and says a word, he likes to look forward to the future when he is young, and he always likes to remember when he is old.

"My mother, but because I fell for Nangong Lu's scheme, I pulled myself and my parents to a dead end step by step, it should be like this. Zhou Zixuan shook his head and denied Steward Wei's opinion, his own experience was no secret in the Nangong family, especially in the ears of these old people.

"Haha, little master, are you still looking at things so superficially now? If the eldest lady doesn't acquiesce in this matter, Nangong Lu, who is the 'Nangong Blade', dares to attack you?" the old man shook his head with a smile and continued, "Seeing that you are so confused, some of the things that your parents can't say to you, I will tell you on my own." ”

Zhou Zixuan came to the spirit, what could he do back then, and was there anything he didn't understand?

Zhou Zixuan didn't interject, and quietly listened to the old man's story.

"Back then, the reason why Nangong Lu abandoned martial arts and began to calculate on you everywhere, in addition to his own physical problems that he could no longer practice martial arts, was also deliberately caused by the eldest lady, the two of them did not say it explicitly but tacitly completed this series of things, this is an exam for him by the eldest lady, and the answer sheet submitted by Nangong Lu also made her quite satisfied. ”

Zhou Zixuan opened his mouth wide, he still felt that what the old man said was simply fantastical, the events of those days were obviously so memorable to him, it hurt to think about it, and it also ruined Bai Wei's reputation, leaving indelible damage to her young age, but now he said that all this was acquiesced by his mother, how could he accept it.

Zhou Zixuan closed his eyes, and what appeared was still Nangong Lu's hideous face in the past few days after he deceived him, pressing him step by step, slandering him sentence by sentence, and uniting his cousins to open it together

Began to attack him.

"It was true that some unpleasant things happened back then, but there were actions that inevitably accompanied some sacrifices. The eldest lady also understands this. The old man also sighed.

sacrificing Bai Wei's name and severing the friendship between the two families is unexpected and expected.

At that time, it was the best breakthrough, but... Can.. That girl shouldn't be involved in these, and someone should be able to look at everything, Zhou Zixuan felt a breath in his chest... He didn't think that this old man was lying to him, because there was no need, and this kind of thing could be debunked by just a phone call, and it didn't make any sense at all.

"According to you: . . It seems that what I did back then disappointed my mother.." Zhou Zixuan felt a little uncomfortable, and took two more sips.

The old man smiled after hearing this, shook his head slightly, and said, "You understand it wrong, how can a mother be disappointed in her child, the eldest lady was very happy back then, and on the day she left, she and Zhou Xiaozi came to find the old man for a drink, and they both said that your heart is very clean, and you will definitely be able to become their hope and pride in the future."

Proud.. Zhou Zixuan closed his eyes, thinking back to what his family had done over the years, everything was so bland, and he didn't interfere with his and his sister's future in the slightest, no matter what decisions they made, their parents would only support them.

The father who is so powerful, so strong in martial arts, only does ordinary work, gets an average salary, is so shrewd, and the mother who is so far-sighted is just a good wife and mother at home.

"It's not that you let them down, but let them see hope, escape their own fate, get rid of their own shackles, and don't have to be careful to guard against other people's calculations everywhere. ”

If everything that happened in the past hadn't happened, then he would be the one standing at the top of the Nangong family at this moment, but what would it be, what else was there besides flowers and applause? Burnout.. and distrust of the world.

Without real friendship, love, or even family affection, when he thinks about it, he feels very terrible, and even loses himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zixuan choked up a little.... He didn't doubt the truth of what the old man said, and he didn't want to confirm it with his mother. Because this answer has actually made him agree with it in his heart.

"It turns out that my smooth daily life, my boring daily life... It's so hard-won.. Why, don't let me know sooner.. What about Nangong Lu? What exactly is he planning? Zhou Zixuan covered his forehead... He didn't know if he would attack Nangong Lu next, if his mother knew all this, then Nangong Lu's conduct should also be within the scope of his mother's consideration, so did the Purple Spirit Scorpion really have something to do with him?

"This old man can't guess, maybe what he is pursuing is really these, after all, Young Master Lu's mind is different from ordinary people. ”

The more I think about it, the more confusing it becomes... All Zhou Zixuan could do was take a sip of wine.

"It's better to ask if you can't figure it out, even if it's not a type of person, even if it's someone you think is an enemy, but isn't this the most direct and fastest way? The old man said, obviously he didn't know anything, but it was as if he had seen everything, and his age and experience allowed him to see people and things only once

An expression and a small movement.

Zhou Zixuan had a flash of inspiration, and the old man's words made him suddenly, yes, all the news he knew, Nangong Lu knew best, he only wanted to guard against him before, so he was investigating in secret, if he asked him directly, what kind of result would he have, he didn't think about it once.

For so many years, Zhou Zixuan has always wanted to ask Nangong Lu a 'why.' ’

There's never been a better time to do it.

Just thinking about it, Zhou Zixuan, who was suddenly half-drunk and half-awake, felt the sound of mixed footsteps, was very flustered, and ran towards a place.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zixuan had a bad premonition, he stood up and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and then looked at Steward Wei.

"Go ahead, young people always like to toss, but it's also because they are young that they can toss. The old man grinned and began to drink to himself.

Zhou Zixuan bowed slightly to apologize, and then ran in the direction of chaos as well.

Along the way, he already knew what was going on without him asking.

The head of the Nangong family is in danger of being poisoned!!

When he heard the news, Zhou Zixuan was shocked, just like this, how could such a big thing happen, this was an assassination by someone, could it be that the assassination was successful? Nangong Lu was poisoned? Or did he find a loophole from that group of expert bodyguards and poison him, and that unruly and suspicious person was also assassinated?

Nangong's family is in chaos, and such a big thing makes people suspicious of each other.

Zhou Zixuan touched his chin, he didn't pay attention to Nangong Lu's physical condition like everyone else, he was just thinking about who could do it? Even he didn't have the confidence to be able to avoid those master bodyguards and make small moves against him, and now someone actually did it. But it also shows that the person who did it may be in this group of people. The surrounding iron walls will not let people run out.

Suddenly, Zhou Zixuan saw a face, it was the Mu Yi girl in the disguise of the young pavilion master of the Phoenix Pavilion. Also in the crowd, his eyes looked calmly.

Zhou Zixuan trotted over and pulled her out of the crowd.

"This, did you?" Zhou Zixuan pulled her to the wall, this action would definitely be considered a bad thing to do in normal times.

"If I say no, do you believe it?" the young pavilion master raised his head and looked at Zhou Zixuan.

"Faith, although you are full of murderous intent, I believe what you say. Zhou Zixuan nodded, let go of his hand, and looked at other places.

"Wait, we don't seem to know each other so well, why do you trust me so much?" The young pavilion master looked at him suddenly relaxed, but he was a little concerned.

"Because we are comrades-in-arms, I believe you won't lie to me. ”

"Hmph. Opinionated.. I did want to kill him, but someone took the lead, and I actually wanted to ask you if it had anything to do with you. ”

Zhou Zixuan shook his head, "It's not me." ”

"But others don't think so, you come, he falls, and he will use poison. Who is the one who has infiltrated with such a skill, and who is proficient in both martial arts and poison arts?" the young pavilion master glanced at him with his eyes.

Zhou Zixuan had a name in his mind, a name that he had been thinking about for a long time.
