When the whole Kyoto is rumored and people are talking right and wrong, a place is quiet and a little too much, the huge Xiao Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Family, don't we chase and kill Shi Ling?" , A group of elders gathered in the Xiao family's meeting hall, looking at Xiao Yongqiang in the main hall with doubts or anxiety on their faces.

"Our Xiao family and Shi Ling had no grudges in the past, and no grudges in the near future, why are you chasing and killing him?" Xiao Yongqiang's face was calm, and sometimes he was surprised and confused. I don't know if it's true or not.

"Isn't it difficult for the eldest prince to explain?" Those elders are all walking fossils, and they can't afford to bump and bump. It is not easy to accumulate more than half a year old, and at this moment, it is all kinds of rhythms of pretending to be grandchildren, and he naturally does not dare to violate the requirements of the eldest prince.

"This?" Xiao Yongqiang's right index finger and thumb supported his chin together, rubbing and kneading left and right, as if he was thinking. "Don't worry about anything for the time being, as for the eldest prince, he said that our Xiao family has limited manpower and can't be transferred."

Xiao Yongqiang's attitude of opening his eyes and talking nonsense made those Xiao family elders secretly unhappy, and they wanted to open their mouths to refute. But Xiao Yongqiang also directly sealed their mouths: "It's so late today, let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything, and the meeting will be dismissed." ”

Those elders naturally didn't want to leave, they still had something to say, but Xiao Yongqiang didn't plan to listen to them. With a wave of his hand, some people began to send off the guests, all of them with helpless faces and depressed hearts out of the council hall.

A group of old immortal guys finally drove away, and a little fresh meat came out of the inner hall of the council hall, it was Xiao Li. At this moment, there is a sharp sword aura on his body, and he feels that he is much stronger than when he was martial arts before, and it seems that in just over two days, he has made great progress.

"Father, why don't you go after Shi Ling?" The guards around them were dispersed, and the two of them could talk about some secret conversation between father and son.

"What do you think of Shi Ling?" Xiao Yongqiang looked at Xiao Li with great interest, how would he evaluate the guy who defeated him.

"A guy who can't be fattened and won't let others figure it out, when he knows martial arts, he has always retained his strength, and whenever I think all his strength has exploded, he still has one hand." Xiao Li's tone was normal, but he still heard a hint of unwillingness.

"Then do you think that when he was in the last battle of Huiwu, he showed all his "strength"? Xiao Yongqiang suddenly said, still asking, and the meaning of persuasion became stronger and stronger.

"Impossible, how is it possible? Isn't that all his strength? Xiao Li heard his father's question. Subconsciously, he retorted first, followed by confusion about the question, followed by a somewhat affirmative narrative and despair.

At the same time as the words were spit out, the expression on Xiao Li's face also changed, this is a process, from unbelievable to believable. Xiao Yongqiang looked at Xiao Li's expression and words, and a trace of displeasure and anger flashed on his face.

"Infinitely exaggerating the strength of your opponent and then allowing yourself to strive beyond that limit is a real powerhouse. What are you now, are you desperate for the strength of the master spirit? Then you can never surpass him. In the end, he even yelled out, showing his strong anger.

This is a father, a strict father, but also a father who loves his son. Xiao Li, who was reprimanded, did not lower his head, only those eyes were obedient and low-browed, proud but humble, a combination of contradictions.

Seeing Xiao Li's appearance, Xiao Yongqiang nodded with satisfaction and continued the topic just now: "It is true that above the martial arts, the performance of the master spirit has reached the extreme, but it is such a person, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"If such a person does not have the support of a strong force behind him, can he have such demonic qualifications? And since Shi Ling has a relationship with the General's Mansion, is it possible for ordinary people to do this? ”

"Maybe above the martial arts, Shi Ling may have shown his strength, but the "strength" behind him, who of us can say clearly? Xiao Yongqiang said in a somewhat solemn tone.

"So father, you would rather go against the wishes of the royal family and the eldest prince this time, could it be that you are afraid of the forces behind the master spirit?" Xiao Li can also be regarded as enlightened, supplementing Xiao Yongqiang's words.

But Xiao Yongqiang's head shook his head: "That's not it, there is a royal background behind this pursuit, even if we are in trouble, he will stand in front of us, even if it is a silver-level force, it will not destroy a bronze country because of a demonic genius." ”

"And why that?" The answer he just got was just denied by his father. Xiao Li was also depressed at the moment and no longer expressed his opinions, giving full play to the role of his ears and acting as a listener.

"Don't you think it's a little weird that something has happened in Kyoto lately?" Xiao Yongqiang took a sip of tea and said in a low tone.

"First of all, a Zhao Tianhu died between the Zhao family and the Bai family, and the two families had a quarrel. After that, there is the follow-up fermentation effect caused by that incident, and someone uses your name to completely disrupt the four great families. ”

"That's what my father said, right?" Xiao Li gritted his teeth as he tore the clothes on his chest at the same time. Where, a huge top-down, scar that spread across the chest was displayed hideously.

Xiao Yongqiang glanced at the scar and sighed helplessly: "I said that I asked you to take that pill and heal your scar, why do you still keep it?" ”

Xiao Li didn't seem to notice the complaint in his father's tone, and there was a sneer on his face: "How can you easily let him disappear?" It's a gift from someone else, and I'll keep it until the day I can return it to him. ”

Xiao Yongqiang knew his son's insistence at the moment, and squirmed the corners of his mouth, but he didn't persuade him again, and continued the previous topic: "At that time, only the Zhao family ignored the matter, whether it was me, Bai Yuxi and Wang Ruhai, they thought it was their hand. ”

"But then there was news of the birth of an inexplicable treasure, which led us all to the Valley of Lian Xin. We entered together with the royal family, but in the end, it was only our Xiao family and the royal family who walked out of Lianxin Valley alive. ”

"There is no doubt that the other three families all died inside, and the only ones who survived in the end were our Xiao family and the royal family. As for the treasures, we haven't even seen them, but we haven't touched any people, and their corpses have completely disappeared. ”

"These days, the other three major families are eyeing our Xiao family, and in the business field, when their children go out, they will be oppressed by them and find trouble by them." The more Xiao Yongqiang spoke, the more angry he became, the anger in his heart piled up to the extreme, and his words became very violent.

"The other three families really went too far, but my father suddenly mentioned these things at the moment, what is the meaning?" Xiao Li is just a martial artist after all, even if he is talented in martial arts and smart, his brain is still a little stunned.

"In the past month, more things have happened in Kyoto than in previous years. So what's special about this month? Of course, Li Xinyan's martial arts recruits relatives in the General's Mansion. Xiao Yongqiang asked and answered himself, and his tone was strange.

"In just such a month, so many things have happened in the four great families, and we are suspicious of each other and shrink the control of our sphere of influence. And who do you think will benefit from such a move in the end? ”

"The four great families and the royal family have all suffered a certain degree of damage this month. But on the contrary, the General's Mansion, which has always been inconspicuous, has not suffered the slightest damage, but it is they who benefit in the end. ”

"After the end of the meeting, I checked the recent account book and found that this month's family income was not even half of the usual month!"

"And all this is because many of our Xiao family's markets and market shares in Kyoto have been acquired by the General's Mansion at some point." Xiao Yongqiang had a headache and held his forehead.

"What, what my father means is the General's Mansion behind the troublemaker." Xiao Li tasted the words he said with some surprise, still a little incredulous.

"If it's okay if they're them, presumably the royal family, like us, must have placed spies in the General's Palace. Once there is a trace of their hands, it will definitely be noticed by the royal family and suppressed. ”

"But neither we nor the royal family can find the slightest trace, which means that all this is indeed not done by the General's Mansion." Some are unwilling but have to explain.

"So who does my father think is behind it?" Xiao Li guessed wrong again, and asked again helplessly.

"If it's not someone from the General's Mansion, but you want to let the General's Mansion benefit in the end, and suddenly appear in Kyoto within this month, then who else do you think?" Xiao Yongqiang also knew that his son was not good at power struggle, and there was some deep worry on his face.

Being in a high position in Kyoto may or may not be intentional or unintentional, but sooner or later we will have to get involved in this struggle for the rights and interests of the government and the opposition. Xiao Yongqiang didn't think that Xiao Li could deal with those old fox guys, but he also hoped that he could see it clearly and at least save his life.

"Could it be that my father is talking about Shi Ling." Speaking of this name slowly and weakly, let me ask Xiao Li's heart shadow area at this moment is a bit big!

"Yes, that's him. Bai Yuxi's old ghost was so excited tonight, it seems that he should have noticed this too! Xiao Yongqiang's eyes looked ahead, as if through the space, into the distance, at what was about to happen under the moon tonight.

"So ・・・・・・" Xiao Yongqiang muttered these two words in his mouth, but the rest did not say it, but secretly expressed it in his heart: "・On the battlefield tonight, I only want to be a spectator of the play, and I don't want to get involved in the chess game where the outcome is unknown." ”
