Early in the morning, Yang Hongrao had already appeared in the Yang family's ancestral house.

In fact, the old man called last night, and just said a word, asking her to go back.

So she was obviously very busy, but Yang Hongrao still took a day off, yes, this night, she didn't sleep well, Chu He's words always came to mind, and there was something behind the Chu family that she didn't know, and her grandfather's attitude seemed to show that there was indeed something in this.

"Miss is back, and the old man is waiting for you in the study. "Uncle Lian is already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, this is the deepest courtyard of the Yang family's ancestral house, in general, no one will come, because this is the residence of the old man of the Yang family, the old man, he likes to be quiet, he doesn't like to be disturbed, if nothing happens, the Yang family will not come here.

On weekdays, only Uncle Lian takes care of it alone.

Of course, outside this courtyard, it is very tightly defended, and with the status of Old Man Yang, this is all the configuration given by the state.

"Thank you, Uncle Lian. When she returned home, she didn't even see her parents, so she came to see the old man, that is, Yang Hongrao desperately wanted to know about Chu He, Chu He didn't say it herself, I was afraid it would be difficult to speak, but as a person who really cared about Chu He, she needed to know all this.

Yang Hongrao pushed the door and walked in, but Uncle Lian did not follow, but closed the door.

In some empty study rooms, there is only a large bookshelf attached to the wall, and then a large antique mahogany table, next to the mahogany table, there is an old man, who is writing on a flat white paper, hanging his wrist in the air, and a few large characters with the atmosphere of ancient ink appear on the white paper.

Selfless.

When these four big characters were put down, it seemed that the mood had changed, but the last stroke was a little out of level, the old man sighed lightly, put down the wolf hao in his hand, picked up the bowl of tea on the side, put it to his mouth, and took a sip gently, his expression seemed to be a little melancholy, and he remembered a few times.

This old man, who is idle, with a bit of harshness on his body, and a pale face, is the old man of the Yang family, and it is also the most important core foundation of the Yang family.

"Grandpa. Yang Hongrao took a few steps forward and shouted respectfully, although after several years of training in the Longwei camp, Mount Tai pressed the top and did not change his face, but Yang Hongrao still had respect for his grandfather.

"Xiao Rao is back, I haven't come back to visit my old man for a few days, if it weren't for the Chu River this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to come back, right?"

Yang Hongrao felt a little guilty on her face, looking at her grandfather who was getting older, she was indeed a little sentimental, but this is the law of the world, no matter how much money you have, how powerful you are, you will eventually grow old and die.

God is fair about this, and this is true for anyone.

"I'm sorry, grandpa----"

The old man looked at Yang Hongrao, his eyes were full of love and warmth, and said: "Okay, grandpa doesn't blame you, you have your own ideals, so such a choice, it was indeed grandpa who didn't think about it back then, so now, grandpa lets you go freely, as long as you choose the road, grandpa will support you." ”

Yang Hongrao responded: "Thank you, grandpa." ”

"It's just that you're not young anymore, do you have to find someone to live in, no matter how strong and independent a woman is, she will eventually get married, and grandpa is afraid that he won't be able to wait too long. ”

"How come, grandpa will definitely live a long life. ”

"Haha----" laughed loudly, and the old man said: "Who can really live a long life, my group of old guys, most of them have already gone, compared to it, I am already very lucky, Xiaorao, sit down, I know you must want to ask about Chu He, it just so happens that grandpa also wants to have a good chat with you." ”

Yang Hongrao helped the old man sit down, then sat down next to the old man, and took the initiative to ask: "Grandpa, how do you know that I want to ask about Chu He, do you know my relationship with Chu He-----

The old man smiled and said: "The Dragon Guard Battalion is one of the most powerful forces in the country, it is very high-profile, although it is strictly disciplined, but it is also indispensable to accept the monitoring of the state, this, the Dragon King is very smart, so your business, grandpa knows, his granddaughter, how much attention, it can be regarded as an old man's little selfishness, I believe that no one will sue me for using power for personal gain." ”

"In fact, Chu He is a special person, from the day he was born, his information appeared in the secret vault of the nine top families in Kyoto, of course, my Yang family is no exception, we know more about Chu He than he is, his birth, growth, until now, accompanied by the eyes of countless people, this, I am afraid that Chu He himself does not know. ”

Yang Hongrao's face changed slightly, and she asked in surprise: "Grandpa, who is Chu He, and why does it make all the families in Kyoto pay so much attention?"

The old man looked at Yang Hongrao and said: "Because our nine top families have prospered by borrowing the Chu family, if you want to talk about it, you have to move forward sixty years, at that time, my grandfather was still young, and the Chu family at that time was the first family in Kyoto, and it could almost compete with the country. ”

Yang Hongrao's mood was stirring, the Chu family was the first family in Kyoto back then, you must know that their nine top families have developed to this day, and they are already very powerful, but no matter which one they are, they dare not claim to be the first.

But the Chu family back then was recognized.

This kind of strength is really exciting to even think about, so Yang Hongrao couldn't help asking: "Since the Chu family was so powerful back then, but why did it disappear again, logically speaking, it shouldn't be, even if it is decaying, at least there is a name, but I don't remember that there is still a Chu family in the capital." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "That's because each family agreed with each other to cover up the traces left by the Chu family and want to turn the Chu family into the past, so everything about the Chu family has been buried, does Xiao Rao know about Chu Yuan?"

"Chu Yuan, isn't that a forbidden place in the country?"

"It's not a forbidden place, it's just the old mansion of the Chu family, sixty years have passed, but the Chu mansion still exists, and it seems to be waiting for his master. ”

Yang Hongrao's mood was frantic and shouted, "Could it be that Chu He is his master?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, Chu He is the master of Chu Garden, because Chu He is now the last bloodline of the Chu family, and it is the only one." ”

Yang Hongrao's face turned red, she really didn't expect that Chu He would have such a powerful identity background, even if the glory of the Chu family has passed sixty years, it still sounds exciting.

"Grandpa, could it be that the Chu family back then was jointly destroyed by our nine great families-----

An inexplicable look appeared on the old man's face, and he said: "The Chu family back then was too powerful, and at that time, our nine families were very weak, even if they were united, they were not the opponents of the Chu family, not only that, even the Long family that guarded Yanhuang could not stop the light of the Chu family, and the defeat of the Chu family was not an outsider, but themselves." ”

"The Chu family has the most powerful power inheritance in the world, and every person who inherits it is invincible in the world, but God is very fair, there is something to gain, there must be something to lose, so the Chu family passed to the generation of the old lady Chu, it was the time of ten thousand lights, but there was a problem with the bloodline inheritance, the child was not prosperous, and the bloodline was not smooth, the three sons of the old lady Chu all died without a problem, only the last one exhausted the strength of the old lady Chu, and reluctantly inherited the bloodline. ”

But this kind of mediocrity can no longer support the glory of the Chu family, in order to save the Chu family, so the old lady Chu chose to hibernate, retreated from the torrent, and left Kyoto. ”

"My nine families were attached to the Chu family back then, and it was in this situation that they got great benefits, and it took sixty years to develop to this day. ”

On Yang Hongrao's forehead, sweat was already faint, and she asked with some surprise: "So, none of the nine top families wants to see Chu He come back, and grandpa thinks the same?"

In this case, who is willing to hand over the interests in his hands, the people's hearts are like this, not to mention that a full sixty years have passed, two or three generations of forgetting, who still remembers the former Chu family, this is very understandable.

Faced with his granddaughter's questioning, Old Man Yang did not deny it, nodded and said, "Yes, I really don't want the Chu family to rise again." ”

Yang Hongrao said: "Since everyone has such worries, but why no one has to deal with Chu He, as long as Chu He is killed, the last trace of blood of the Chu family is broken, then it is impossible to rise again, Chu He is already in his twenties, I think in the past twenty years, I will definitely find an opportunity." ”

This time, the old man was a little embarrassed.

"Yes, this thought, many people have had it, as long as they know that the Chu family was once brilliant, they will have it, and grandpa will have it, but grandpa doesn't dare. ”

"Don't dare?" This made Yang Hongrao a little strange, and said, "Could it be that the Chu family still has something to rely on?"

"The power of the Chu family back then was so strong, and Old Lady Xiao, as a heroic man back then, had to take care of the three generations of the Chu family even if he died, so he left four guards, and they would guard the three generations of the Chu family according to the orders of Master Chu, and Chu He was the third generation. ”

"If anyone dares to hurt Chu He, he will definitely face the disaster of annihilation, and Chu He has been very mediocre in the past twenty years, so the think tank has assessed that the hope of his rise is less than 1 in 10,000, so everyone has given up the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, there must be no need to bring the disaster of extermination to the family for this 1 in 10,000 chance, as long as you slowly wait for Chu He's mediocre old age and death, the glory that belongs to the Chu family will really disappear and will never reappear. ”

Yang Hongrao smiled and said: "But I didn't expect that Chu He would rise extremely quickly in the past two years, exceeding everyone's expectations, I'm afraid that many people are in a hurry, right?"

The old man nodded and said, "In the past few days, the news of Chu He has spread in various families, especially the marriage with the Long family, which has indeed made many people restless. ”

Yang Hongrao asked: "Since grandpa has known for a long time, why did he let me get close to Chu He, grandpa knows, I have now recognized Chu He as a younger brother, my parents have no son, I really want a son, the first time I saw Chu He, I felt quite a match, I will not let anyone hurt him." ”

The old man said: "In fact, in the face of this, grandpa also hesitated, the original Wang family's shot, grandpa also acquiesced, but I found that everyone underestimated Chu He, no, it should be said that underestimated the inheritance of the Chu family, Chu He two years, after 20 years of hard work of others, he is destined to soar into the sky, unstoppable, since it can't be stopped, then don't be an enemy, it's better to be a friend." ”

Yang Hongrao was a little depressed and said: "I understand, in a word, I was used." ”
