"Lord Qi, Tang used to act recklessly, did a lot of unscrupulous things, and offended adults a lot, and I hope that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and don't worry about Tang Mou's martial arts. ”

City Lord's Mansion, Reception Hall, Tang Yongning, the head of the Tang family, got up and bowed to Qi Wuwei to the end, whether it was posture or words, he was extremely low.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Qi Wuwei snorted. He didn't know what kind of medicine Tang Yongning was selling in his gourd, was this a confession of concessions, or was there some conspiracy?

Tang Yongning continued: "If Lord Qi is really angry in his heart, he will come over and punch me a few times, kick me a few times, and show a bad spirit. ”

Tang Yongning, who has always been domineering and persecutive, suddenly lowered his posture and sincerely apologized, which made Qi Wuwei a little flattered for a while, his heart suddenly jumped twice, knowing that there must be a demon when things go wrong, maybe Tang Yongning had some bad water in his stomach, reminding himself to cheer up and be careful.

In fact, not only Qi Wuwei, but also the four family heads of Yu, Xue, Ma, and He who were sitting in the living room were all a little confused by Tang Yongning. Although they had already met before they came, Tang Yongning clearly told them that the Tang family would make concessions and support Qi Wuwei to fight this war, but they never expected Tang Yongning to put his posture so low, so he almost knelt in front of Qi Wuwei and licked his shoes.

"What does the Tang family master mean by this?" Qi Wuwei asked tentatively.

Tang Yongning said: "My ancestor said that the Tang family will always be the most loyal warrior of the empire, and what the imperial sword refers to is where our glory lies. From now on, the Tang family's manpower, material resources, and everything, are always on standby, waiting for the call of the empire. ”

"Is this true?!" Qi Wuwei's tone rose a lot.

The four patriarchs of Yu Xue and Ma He all stared at Tang Yongning in disbelief, wondering if their ears had heard it wrong.

However, he saw that Tang Yongning nodded with great certainty: "This is the order of the ancestor, Tang does not dare to say half a word." It's a shame to say that Tang has been removed from the position of patriarch by the old ancestor, and after going back today to hand over the family affairs, he can't work with all of you. ”

Speaking of the handover, Tang Yongning couldn't help but be a little impatient, he didn't want to sit in the position of the head of the family for a moment.

On the way here just now, he sat in the carriage, raised the curtain, and looked at the boundless blue sky, and his heart suddenly flew higher and higher and farther towards the blue sky like a bird with wings.

This feeling of flying freely between heaven and earth made him instantly intoxicated, and he had a feeling of finding his soul.

He felt that he was awakened by the words of the ancestor, what power, money, beautiful women's mansions, were not what he wanted, what he really wanted was freedom. Although I woke up a little late, it wasn't too late.

Perhaps because of the change in thinking, at this moment, whether he looked at Qi Wuwei or the patriarchs of the four major families, he couldn't help but sympathize with them in his heart, feeling that their good life was firmly imprisoned by a chair that symbolized power.

Tang Yongning's words shook the audience.

"Brother Tang, can you reveal who the next head of the Tang family is?" Qi Wuwei asked with a strong suppression of the vibration in his heart.

When the four patriarchs heard Qi Wuwei's question, they all pricked up their ears

, because this question is very critical, according to the character of the next head of the Tang family, it can be judged that the next strategic deployment of the Tang family is a radical like Tang Yongning, or a conservative with a stable personality?

"It's my little sister Yongjing. Tang Yongning replied, there is nothing to hide, even if he doesn't say it, the Tang family will soon announce the new head of the family.

Qi Wuwei stood up from his seat when he heard this, stepped forward to hold Tang Yongning's hand, and said happily: "The empire needs a loyal warrior like the Tang family!"

He understands several main figures of the Tang family, Tang Yongjing is a woman with a gentle personality, who has always advocated peaceful development and mutual benefit, and the ancestor of the Tang family chose her as the head of the family, which can be said to be a clear position of the Tang family.

"It's an honor to fight side by side with Lord Qi. Tang Yongning said.

Qi Wuwei said: "Qi is also very honored to fight side by side with Brother Tang!"

He Tongtian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stood up and took two steps forward, and said, "The He family is also the most loyal warrior of the empire, and what the imperial sword refers to is where our honor lies. From now on, the He family's manpower, material resources, and everything, are always ready to listen to the call of the empire at any time. ”

The Tang family, which has Xingchen Ancestor in charge, has already admitted it, and what reason does his He family have to hold on. Do you have to wait until the octagonal Zhuxian heavy crossbow on the city wall shoots the He family into ruins, and then disarm and surrender? Isn't that stupid?

Qi Wuwei quickly stepped forward to shake hands with He Tongtian and said, "Brother He, the empire needs you!" Oh, the virtuous nephew is still waiting outside the door, the sun is poisonous today, don't let him go home." ”

"Thank you, Lord Qi!" He Tongtian thanked, then walked to the door and scolded He Bufan, who was kneeling outside with a rattan on his back: "Go home and think about the past, and be grounded for half a month." ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes, Thank you, Father! Thank you, Lord City!" He Bufan was so happy that he almost didn't cry, he knelt at the door, and his mind kept making up all kinds of miserable ends, who would have thought that in the end, there was nothing at all, as if the Nine Heavens God and Buddha blessed him. He got up and ran away without a trace, for fear that Qi Wuwei would regret it.

"The Yu family is also willing to serve the empire!" Yu Sihai, the head of the Yu family, got up and said.

"The Xue family is also willing to serve the empire!" Xue Maochun, the head of the Xue family, got up and said.

"The Ma family is also willing to serve the empire!" Ma Chunqiu, the head of the Ma family, stood up and said.

Qi Wuwei clasped his fists at the three of them and said, "The empire is proud of your loyalty and selflessness!"

Yu, Xue, and Ma did not make solemn promises like Tang Yongning and He Tongtian, they only said that they were willing to serve the empire, and as for how to serve, there was a lot of room for looping.

Qi Wuwei naturally understood what they meant, but he didn't say much except verbal thanks.

"Report to your lordship, the people of the Li family have urgent matters to see. "There is a servant at the door.

"What's the urgency?" Qi Wuwei asked. He has been busy since last night, dispatching troops to deal with the five major families, and he has specially explained in advance that as long as it is not a major event, he is not allowed to disturb him, so he doesn't know anything about what happened to the Li family.

Li Haotian of the Li family killed himself at the door of Tingyaxuan, and the head of the family, Li Hongxi, incited the anger of the people, and coerced the general trend to seek justice for his son, which angered Tianwu Zhenren. Tianwu Zhenren was furious

occupied the Li Mansion, drove out all the Li family, and killed the four leaders of the Li family. The Li family came to ask for help. The servant gave a general account of the matter.

"Go and tell the people of the Li family that the powerful anger of the stars and the Fire City Lord's Mansion can't bear it, so let them ask for another master. Qi Wuwei said with a dark face. If Li Hongxi was here, he would definitely step forward to check Li Hongxi's head to see if his head had been kicked by a donkey, otherwise where would he have the guts to provoke a great heavenly master, not to mention that you are not reasonable.

"Yes. The servant took the order and took his leave.

Qi Wuwei pinched his eyebrows bitterly, then forced a trace of laughter, and sent off the five patriarchs: "Qi hasn't slept one night, and he is really a little sleepy, so I won't leave five more patriarchs." Let's find a time to discuss the specific matters of jointly defending against the enemy. Okay?"

"Hehe, then don't disturb Lord Qi's rest. ”

"Always ready, always available. ”

Several people got up to say goodbye to Qi Wuwei, but Tang Yongning walked to the door and turned back, sitting in the chair as if no one was around.

"Brother Tang, is this?" Qi Wuwei didn't know why.

"Curious to ask, is it the Great Heavenly Master Tianwu Zhenren of the Three Qingguan who has offended?" Tang Yongning asked with a smile.

"Hehe, ridiculous, right?" Qi Wuwei nodded, kneading his eyebrows and said with a bitter smile, "A family that has not yet stood firm on its heels has taken the initiative to provoke a star power, what do you think I can do? Brother Tang, do you need to smile so happily? Look at the corners of your mouth are almost to the root of your ears." ”

Qi Wuwei couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that Tang Yongning came back to see his jokes on purpose, otherwise what would he be happy about?

Tang Yongning said with a smile: "Seeing your sad appearance, I thought that I was also like this yesterday, but now I have unloaded my burden and my whole body is relaxed, I am happy for myself." As for the affairs of the Li family, it is not all caused by you pulling out the seedlings and helping you, which of the seven major families you have supported is not the arrogant appearance of the eldest and his second child. Of course, this matter should also be indispensable to people with ulterior motives secretly fueling the troubles. Hmmm"

Tang Yongning frowned suddenly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Pay attention to the Xue family." ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Wuwei frowned.

"I don't know. Tang Yongning shook his head and said, "I have always thought that the Xue family is weird for more than ten years, but if you want to say what is weird, I can't say." This thought suddenly flashed through me just now, so I will remind you of it. Okay, it's okay, I'm leaving. ”

"Walk slowly, don't send. Qi Wuwei said, he didn't understand what Tang Yongning's last words meant, was it really a kind reminder, or was there some conspiracy hidden?
