Chapter 37: Uncle Cheap
The prince and the officials of the allied countries did not shy away from talking, and Su Lao's body trembled for a while, and his face was blue, and he finally suppressed the resentment and anger in his heart, and repeated the question just now.
The five Allied officials were silent, and Xiao Li, the prince of the world, raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's almost over, if you don't show up again, I will really announce the result?"
"Haha, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World also asks for forgiveness, although Mo Zheng has arrived one step earlier, he still doesn't want to spoil your interest. ”
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man dressed in soft armor in the army, with a burly figure, and a faint resemblance to Mo Sheng between his eyebrows, strode out and saluted the prince Xiao Li and the officials of the alliance countries: "Mo Zheng of the Mo family in Hongye Town, I have seen His Royal Highness the prince and all the adults. ”
Then, Mo Zheng turned his gaze and looked at Xiao Li, the prince of the world, with a burning light in his eyes: "I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Duke's Mansion is a genius, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." Compared with His Royal Highness the Prince, Mo Zheng can be regarded as having spent more than thirty years. ”
As the prince of the Duke's Mansion and his extraordinary talent, Xiao Li has been accustomed to all kinds of flattery since he was a child, but he really hasn't heard much of Mo Zheng's undisguised and generous praise, and his indifferent face can't help but have a little more arrogant smile.
The expressions of the five Allied State officials moved slightly, and one in the center nodded slightly: "The iron-clad Mo Zheng of the First Legion of the Principality of the East Garden, he has admired the name for a long time, fortunately!"
Unlike everyone in the Mo family who was at a loss, Xiao Li, the prince of the world, was slightly moved, and his gaze at Mo Zheng was faintly strange.
The Principality of Dongyuan is only an inconspicuous small country among the countries of the alliance, but no matter how small a country is, it also has its own army, and the First Army is the strongest armed force of the Principality of Dongyuan to the outside world.
Mo Zheng's strength is average, but he can make a name for himself in the First Army, and even these officials of the Alliance States have some impressions, which shows that he must be extraordinary.
Mo Zheng bowed to the official in the center, his eyes immediately turned, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes flashed with excitement: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are really still so soft-hearted and cowardly." ”
"In the past, the old man was eccentric, and everything good was left to you. Those are the old man's own things, I am not interested in giving it to whomever I like, and I am too lazy to fight with you. Now that the old man is gone, and the owner of your family is so aggrieved, I think you might as well simply admit defeat, and the owner of this family will replace me. ”
At the back of the crowd, Murphy was completely stunned.
"Big brother, when did my father have such a younger brother, and he was in Red Leaf Town, Red Leaf Town is not far from here, since he is a brother to his father, how come I have never heard of them having dealings with each other?"
Looking back at the clan elders and elders, Mo Fei's face changed, and the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared.
The head of the Mo family suddenly appeared with a younger brother, and these clan elders and elders all looked not very good, but no matter how they looked at it, they didn't look surprised.
Mo Zheng's identity as the second-generation son of the Mo family is obviously no problem, but even fools can see that his relationship with the Mo family is very stiff and indifferent, looking at the faces of these old people in the clan, none of them are on Mo Zheng's side.
Elder Qian of the treasury looked over coldly: "Mo Zheng, as early as more than twenty years ago, it was the Mo family that you gave up your position as the head of the family and took the initiative to leave, and now you suddenly ran back to do something?"
Mo Zheng glanced over with one look, and Elder Qian of the treasury only felt cold, and couldn't help but shiver, and when he looked at Mo Zheng again, his face couldn't help but be a little pale.
Mo Zheng sneered, and did not continue to embarrass Elder Qian, but calmly gave an explanation: "I said just now, the old man is partial to the eldest brother, and nothing good has anything to do with me. If I don't take the initiative to give up, do I still wait for the old man to announce the result and embarrass myself?"
The corners of Elder Qian's mouth moved, but he didn't argue and fell silent.
Mo Zheng pursed his lips: "I didn't get the position of the head of the family at the beginning, and for me, it may not be a bad thing. I have been in the army for so many years, and now I am also a noble lord. ”
"And you, fighting back and forth in the clan, for a title, and fighting your own people in front of outsiders, the old man's face has long been lost by you. ”
Mo Zheng shook his head with disdain: "To be honest, I'm really disappointed in you. The old man is old, and he has always been in charge himself, in my opinion, he is because he is not worried about you. ”
The Mo family, Su Lao and other clan elders were silent, the great elder Mo Zhai, the head of the family Mo Sheng, everyone's faces were extremely ugly, but no one refuted half a sentence.
Although Mo Zheng still spoke so unceremoniously and mercilessly in front of outsiders, what he said was all the truth.
The old man Mo Yuan is highly respected, and he is also a hereditary viscount recognized by the ten major alliance countries, and his status is noble and extraordinary. If you don't worry about your family, with the identity and status of an old man, why would you deign to stay in this small Xishui Town for more than 20 years?
Mo Fei was not interested in knowing the contradictions and grievances between his father and Mo Zheng, but the scene where Mo Zheng's eyes shocked Elder Qian just now surprised him.
"This Mo Zheng is so strong, he should still be above Rui'er, about the same as the daughter of the Yue family. ”
Although Mo Fei lost his cultivation, he had fought with the steward of the Wuyue Chamber of Commerce 6 times, and he had also seen the strength of Yue Xinwen, the daughter of the Yue family, and the strength of the twelve close maids such as Rui'er.
The power aura of the ground and Xuan rank masters, he was too familiar with it, and Mo Zheng's aura was exposed in an instant, allowing him to vaguely judge the other party's cultivation level.
Mo Fei then shook his head secretly: "No, my cheap uncle has been honed in the army for many years, and his blood and qi are far superior to ordinary people, and his real cultivation should be slightly lower." The daughter of the Yue family is a high-level Xuan-rank, so his cultivation is probably at least the middle of the Xuan-rank. ”
The head of the family, Mo Sheng, had just broken through to the Xuan Rank not long ago, and compared to Mo Zheng in the middle of the Xuan Rank, he obviously had no chance of winning.
Just when Mo Zheng's eyes shocked Elder Qian, and the entire Mo family was silent with a few words, Mo Fei's eyes rolled and quietly retreated.
After unceremoniously counting everyone in the Mo family one by one, Mo Zheng finally looked at the head of the family, Mo Sheng, again: "Big brother, have you thought about it?" Do you take the initiative to give up, or do our brothers compete again like back then?"
Mo Sheng closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he shook his head decisively: "Maybe I'm not the best candidate for the heir to the title, but this title belongs to the old man." Since the old man gave me the position of the head of the family, the title, I have the responsibility to keep it for the old man. ”
Looking at Mo Zheng with complicated eyes, Mo Sheng walked forward: "Back then, the old man and I may have been unable to stand with you, but protecting the Mo family is the responsibility entrusted to me by the old man, even if I have been ashamed of you, I will not give it up because of this." ”
Su Lao and the other clan elders looked at each other, and they were secretly relieved.
Although the head of the Mo Sheng family is not strong enough, and in recent years, the Great Elder has taken the lead several times in a row, but no matter what he has the courage to take responsibility at any time, there is no one in the entire Mo family who is more suitable to be the head of the family than Mo Sheng.
Although Mo Zheng is more excellent, he has been honing outside for many years, and he is far superior to Mo Sheng in all aspects. But back then, although there were many other reasons, it was a fact that he had voluntarily given up the responsibility of protecting the family.
Therefore, when it comes to trust, the clan elders naturally prefer Mo Sheng rather than the better Mo Zheng.
