Chapter Seventy-Four: Relics
It may take generations to get from this city to the capital, but for a piece of news, it only takes a few seconds.
The lone wolf who appeared at the wedding scene with a sensitive identity died like this, which can almost be described quietly, and dying in the hands of Luo Qingcang is even more in line with the "logical" thing, after all, Luo Qingcang is not a person in the eyes of most people, only a monster, or a ghost.
A rebel who deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors got rid of his junior brother with his own hands, a very ironic story, but for this hot and cold rivers and lakes, too many people have seen such stories, and even more sad.
The Xu family's manor, Xu Wolong kept scratching his hair, his original meticulous hairstyle became a little messy, and his eyes were bloodshot, so that this lone wolf faced Luo Qingcang, which was an absolute mistake, but Xu Wolong did not have any pity for this lone wolf in his heart, he just regretted that he did not squeeze out all the use value of this lone wolf.
So now, it was his turn to deal with this Luo Qingcang, and after the death of this lone wolf, the only clue he had to find the three-character sword was also broken like this.
Yamato Yingzi suddenly entered the room and interrupted Xu Wolong's thoughts, Xu Wolong raised his head, and saw a trace of panic on Yamato Yingzi's face, and subconsciously Xu Wolong's heart tightened, as if he realized something.
"My lord is in a very bad condition right now. The Japanese woman in a kimono said in extremely standard Mandarin.
Xu Wolong instantly put these things behind him and got up, and walked quickly to the ward specially built for the old man in this mountain villa.
Pushing the door directly, Xu Wolong saw the doctor Jia specially hired from the United States, the beads of sweat on his forehead, plus the black lines on his face, were enough to show that the situation was not optimistic.
Seeing Xu Wolong coming in, the middle-aged man took off his mask and said, "It suddenly deteriorated in the afternoon, and now..."
Before Dr. Jia could finish speaking, the old man lying on the hospital bed who had almost become a wind candle seemed to spit out a few words with all his might.
"Get out..."
Doctor Jia was stunned, of course he knew what the old man's heart had reached, and at this time, even Da Luo Immortal couldn't save this life, so he gave the two nurses beside him a look, and then shook his head helplessly at Xu Wolong and left the ward.
What kind of existence is the Xu family? Dr. Jia may have only seen the tip of the iceberg, but it was only the tip of the iceberg, which was enough to make him afraid, and this Xu family helmsman lying on the hospital bed would say something to his successor in the end, he was very curious, but curiosity was curiosity, he was not stupid enough to explore these things at the top of the capital.
The slightest movement of this iceberg may affect the life and death of too many people, including him.
The door of the ward slowly closed, Xu Wolong strode to the front of the ward, and the old man looked at Xu Wolong carefully, at this moment his physical state no longer allowed him to say anything more, this hero who had pushed the Xu family to the peak in his life, was already weak and couldn't lift a hand at the moment.
Just because it's fate?
Xu Wolong clenched the old man's hand and told the old man who still retained his breath with his eyes that he could carry the Xu family and carry the beams of the Xu family.
Suddenly, the old man began to exert himself, Xu Wolong understood something, and approached the old man.
This is the last farewell left by this old man, but it has nothing to do with the hardships of his life, and it has nothing to do with this Jianghu, he just told Xu Wolong a position.
Perhaps at this moment, this old man, who has been bedridden for seven years, really let go, the door he has been guarding needs to be replaced, which is what no one can escape in the changing times.
In the end, the strength in the old man's hand slowly disappeared, and Xu Wolong's expression became serious, and he watched the old man suddenly finish the last journey of his life with relief.
Maybe this is a relief, he can finally leave this hell-like world, and then leave the meaning of his life to the best person of the Xu family in front of him.
Xu Wolong is very good, so good that he reminds him of his younger self.
Xu Wolong slowly let go of that hand, then got up silently and opened the closed door, outside the door, it was the relatives of the Xu family who had heard the news and had been waiting for a long time in the villa, and it was not an exaggeration to say that this face in front of him was a hundred states in the world.
But without exception, everyone maintains respect for Xu Wolong, because the man in front of him has become the helmsman of the Xu family, which is absolutely indisputable, because looking at the Xu family, even if there is no shortage of capable people and talents, there is no shortage of dark horses with hearts, but there is no one who can have Xu Wolong's prestige.
Let everyone have this kind of mentality, which is enough to show Xu Wolong's ability.
"People... Let's go. Xu Wolong exhaled a long breath, and then said, when the old man exhaled his last breath, he seemed to feel an invisible shackle pressing on his body, and even made him a little breathless.
Is this what this old man endured?
Xu Wolong swept over everyone, didn't make a sound, just whispered a word to a bald head on the side, and then went upstairs directly, he was curious about the last sentence left by the old man, what was the important thing that allowed him to stay at the last moment before telling it.
I went all the way to the study on the top floor of the villa, pushed the door in, went straight to the third bookshelf, and then found a very dilapidated "Historical Records" in the pile of old books in the third row.
Pulling out this thick old book, Xu Wolong walked to the desk and put it down, turning it through carefully, for fear of damaging the old book, which was already about to be broken.
Turning to page 96, there are several pieces of brown paper with deep creases that have been clamped for I don't know how many years, and on them are dense books.
Xu Wolong glanced at the tightly closed door of the study, and then took out these few pieces of brown paper, from the moment he saw the first line, his expression seemed to be a little unable to extricate himself, until he saw the first one, his expression could already be described as shocked.
After reading the whole nine sheets of paper in one breath, he didn't let go of a word, even a punctuation, and when he put down the paper with a lot of years, the window was already exposed, and Xu Wolong's forehead, there were a few more drops of cold sweat, he almost trembled and sandwiched these pieces of paper on that page again, picked up this "Historical Records" and put it back in its place.
It was an unimaginable heaviness, and he stepped back to his desk and sat down, almost his entire body slumped in the chair.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Wolong muttered to himself.
"What is it above this river and lake..."
