Chapter 50: The Storm Rises
The sun is shining brightly, and the afterglow is shining
In Shouchang City, there is an antique Feng family's mansion with blue tiles and white walls, and many servants are tied with a strip of white cloth around their waists. When they met, they didn't dare to speak easily, and they were all busy with their own affairs.
Feng Hongji, the head of the Feng family with a haggard face, was being helped through the backyard by a slave, and finally came to the solemn family meeting hall.
Feng's eldest son was disabled and could not cultivate. The third son died in Yangweipo, and even the most beloved second son was ruined and died of illness last night. This series of blows made him turn white overnight, but he had to preside over this matter of family fate today.
Feng Hongji stood up straight, waved his hand, let the slave retreat, and then pushed the door in.
The hall is very spacious, and there are quite a few people in it. The main seat at the top was empty, and on the two seats next to the main seat sat two old men, who were Feng Hongji's uncle and had a lot of prestige in the Feng family.
At the bottom left of the two sat several brothers of Feng Hongji's generation, and beside them, there were also some young people who had performed well in the family.
On the other side of the table were several powerful people in the Feng family.
This family chamber has not been opened for many years, and today it is reopened to gather everyone in order to determine the successor of the head of the Feng family.
When everyone saw Feng Hongji come in, they all got up to greet each other. Feng Hongji slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, then pressed his hand, and everyone sat down willingly.
"Now that we're all here, let's get started. Feng Hongji spoke with difficulty, his voice slightly hoarse, "Let's get straight to the point, if there is any suitable candidate, just say." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and a sturdy and powerful man in the lower left stood up and spoke: "I think Feng Yubo should be the young head of the family." ”
Several people behind him responded again and again, and added Feng Yubo's cultivation and contributions over the years, praising him for his calm personality and flexibility.
Feng Hongji laughed in his heart when he heard this, Feng Yubo is the son of his second cousin, his talent is okay, and he entered the coagulation stage at the age of seventeen this year. It can be said that he has a calm personality and is flexible, which is pure nonsense.
When this kid was fifteen years old, he led people to ride horses in the street and killed several slaves of the Hu family. Afterwards, he didn't admit his mistake, he was arrested and went to Feng's house to apologize, and he looked angry, almost didn't make him angry.
Another man stood up and retorted: "I don't think it's appropriate, Feng Yubo is still young, it is inevitable that he will be young, he is easy to do wrong things, and he is not qualified for the position of the young head of the family." Feng Shaohua should be the young head of the family. Feng Shaohua has always been sensible, distinguishing between right and wrong, and has also cared a lot about family affairs, and has assisted in many important tasks at home. ”
Feng Shaohua, heh, is the leader of the side branch. There are two in Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and his personality is ruthless. If this is the person, it's nothing if it's just cruel to outsiders. But two years ago, he actually burned to death a fellow clansman who was competing with him, if such a person succeeded to the position of the head of the family, I am afraid that the Feng family would be defeated by civil strife.
"Should be succeeded by Feng Yubo......"
"I think Feng Shaohua ......"
Feng Hongji watched them arguing and didn't speak, in fact, he knew in his heart that there was no suitable candidate among the Feng family's children.
The direct branch only wants Feng Yubo to inherit, and then takes advantage of Feng Yubo's usual lavish and indifferent attitude towards foreign things to gain a little more benefits in the Feng family's industry.
And the side side relied on Feng Shaohua, and it is estimated that Feng Shaohua made a lot of empty promises in order to get the scattered side system to support him.
It would be good if his Feng Tao hadn't died, his second son had been talented since he was a child, and this year he had stepped into the middle stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm, and he was about to enter Zhaoling Mountain to obtain the Creation Flower. But he was ruined by a nameless boy, and then died young.
Feng Hongji's hatred in his heart was even worse, Lin Qitian, I want you to die!
Listening to the noisy noise in his ears, Feng Hongji was angry.
"Bang!"
Feng Hongji slapped it with one palm, and directly smashed the sandalwood long table on the side, and everyone immediately shushed like cicadas.
He glanced at everyone angrily, the bloodshot in his eyes was even more monstrous, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, "Whoever can kill Lin Qitian can be the young head of the family!"
Dropping this sentence, Feng Hongji didn't care about everyone's reaction, and immediately brushed his sleeves away.
Everyone in the council hall was stunned, and after reacting, they left immediately, trying to find a way to understand Lin Qitian's situation and waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.
......
Lin Qitian didn't know all this, and now he was only thinking about how to use Hu Duanmin to get a word out of Hu Yuanqing.
Alas...... Lin Qitian sighed leisurely, his body moved, and he avoided the bone whip attacking in front of him.
The chick in front of him said that he wanted to fight, but he didn't have to go all out, he just stood there and waved his whip, and he slowly dodged, feeling like smashing a gopher.
"That's it, don't fight. Lin Qitian said and jumped off the martial arts training ground.
Hu Duanmin put away the bone whip and followed.
Lin Qitian slapped his forehead, a little annoyed, this girl has been with him all morning, since she left the room in the morning, she has been following, she goes wherever she goes.
"Miss Hu, don't you have anything else to do?" Lin Qitian asked back.
Hu Duanmin thought for a moment and replied, "No, my main thing now is to accompany you." ”
The corners of Lin Qitian's mouth twitched, and he was about to go back to the room, when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he didn't seem to have had a good time when he went to Shouchang City, anyway, Hu Duanmin wanted to stick to himself, so it was better to let her take her to play.
The corners of Lin Qitian's mouth grinned, "Miss Hu, can you take me out for a walk this afternoon, I haven't been here in Shouchang City these days, and I don't seem to have a good look at the characteristic beauty here." ”
Hu Duanmin nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask Uncle Cao to prepare two horses." ”
"No, I like to ride in a carriage. With that, Lin Qitian went back to the room, he wasn't sure if he could ride a horse, or it would be safer to take a carriage.
......
At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was shining, there were many fewer pedestrians on the street.
A gorgeous carriage came out of Hu's house and slowly headed towards the downtown area.
"At this speed, I don't know when I will be able to visit Shouchang City. Hu Duanmin lifted the cover on the side and muttered.
Seeing this, Lin Qitian also opened a little, looked at the pedestrians and buildings outside, and began to be in a daze.
It took about half an hour to arrive at the East Market. Lin Qitian hurriedly stopped, and then jumped out of the car.
"Are you going to buy anything when you get off the bus?" Hu Duanmin also got out of the carriage and looked around, there were some food sold in the East Market.
Lin Qitian ignored her and strode in one direction.
After walking for a while, I came to an alley, turned a corner, and came to a pastry shop.
The owner of the pastry shop was an honest fat man, and when he saw Lin Qitian coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Guest officer, what do you want?"
Lin Qitian looked at the various pastries in the store, and then ordered a few of them and asked the shopkeeper to pack them.
Lin Qitian walked out with the pastries, a little happy in his heart, he could finally eat the pastries of this house.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Hu Duanmin standing not far away, waiting for him.
"Do you like this?" Hu Duanmin raised his chin.
"Well, you can try a piece later, it's delicious. ”
The two walked to the carriage together.
got into the car, Lin Qitian handed a piece to Hu Duanmin. Hu Duanmin took it and took a bite, this pastry is really good, it is better than what is made at home.
Hu Duanmin swallowed the pastry in his mouth and said softly: "I'll take you to a noodle restaurant later, his noodles are delicious." ”
Lin Qitian snorted, and then asked, "What kind of noodles is it?"
......
The two chatted all the way, from the meal to the trivial matters around them.
"Appeal ......"
The servant who was driving stopped the carriage and said respectfully to the car: "Young Master Lin, Miss, the noodle restaurant has arrived." ”
The two got out of the car and entered the noodle restaurant, which is not big, but the environment is chic and elegant, and there are not many diners.
Hu Duanmin asked for a private room, and a group of men led the two upstairs.
After Lin Qitian sat down, he continued to talk about a topic, and after the noodle soup was served, he suddenly asked, "I heard that your family has a Linwangjing town, when can I go to visit?"
Hu Duanmin glanced at him, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, just along the way, the two talked about many aspects. Among them, Lin Qitian asked a lot of things about the Hu family, and Hu Duanmin also asked a lot of things about the Shen family.
"That person, I haven't met, he never seems to have come to my house. "This matter is not a secret in the Hu family, no one knows who he is or where he is, he is like a fan.
"Huh?" Lin Qitian didn't expect it to be such an answer. Hu Duanmin, as the eldest lady of the Hu family, has never seen that Linwang realm, so I'm afraid only Hu Yuanqing knows where that person is.
"It's true, since I was born, I haven't seen this person, and others say that my family has the power of the King Realm, but in fact, I can't even see a figure. Hu Mansion is so big, why haven't I even seen a stranger for many years. Hu Duanmin thought that Lin Qitian didn't believe it, so he explained again.
Lin Qitian pretended to be disappointed, "Oh, I thought I had the opportunity to be guided by the seniors of the King Realm, and I could make faster progress." ”
"You are very powerful now, you have defeated the middle stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm with the cultivation of Xiaocheng in the Gathering Spirit Realm, and no one in Shouchang City knows your Lin Qitian's name. Hu Duanmin looked up left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really abolishing Feng Tao?"
The matter of Feng Tao's abolition has long been rumored, and it is said that Lin Qitian did it, Hu Duanmin doesn't believe it in his heart, but he still wants to ask.
Lin Qitian rolled his eyes, "I'm Xiao Cheng of the Gathering Spirit Realm, it's a fluke to be able to defeat him, how can I abolish him? If I can abolish him, will he still vomit blood at the beginning? I would have kicked him up and kicked him away." ”
Hu Duanmin smiled faintly and then ate noodles.
"Young Master Lin, Miss?" the servant of the Hu family outside the door shouted softly.
"What's the matter?" asked Hu Duanmin coldly.
"There is news from the family, saying that Feng Tao is dead, and for the safety of Lin Gongzi, he should return home quickly. ”
The two of them were shocked when they heard this, and they died? Didn't they say that they were abolished? Why did they suddenly die?
The two suppressed the doubts in their hearts, ate hastily, and returned to Hu's house with the coachman.
As soon as he arrived at Hu's house, Uncle Cao greeted him, "Lin Gongzi, Miss, you are back, the master has ordered, Lin Gongzi should not go out these days, just in case." ”
Lin Qitian knew the seriousness of the situation, so he obediently returned to the room.
The Hu family and the Feng family are afraid that they will tear their faces because of themselves, and now is the time for the real changes in Shouchang City.
Sister Shen, it depends on how you play the chess behind you......
