The day before the five-sect competition, the east sun had not risen, and with the morning dew, Zhanbai took Jiaxiao Yiyan and quietly walked down Lushan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the end, Lan Ji didn't leave herself too long, and a secret letter made Zhanbai have to hurriedly embark on an unknown road.

"It's just going home, how did you get sneaky?" Walking down Lushan, Zhanbai finally asked the puzzle in his heart.

"The young master has been away from home for many years, and he doesn't know the current situation in the house. This time, we were originally going back in secret, and if some people with ulterior motives knew about it, we would definitely do everything possible to stop it. While explaining, he did not forget to be vigilant.

"Are you overdoing it?" Zhan Bai looked at the nervous appearance of the armor owl and said disapprerovingly. Since it was a secret return, and the time and route were all temporarily decided before today's departure, the possibility of accidents is almost zero.

"There is no big mistake in being careful, now the life and death of Jiedu is unknown, and the situation of the young master and the master mother is not optimistic. If something goes wrong, the result is a complete failure. The armor owl said awe-inspiringly.

Seeing this, Zhan Bai didn't say anything more. The temperament of the armor owl has always been calm, even to the point of being stubborn and old-fashioned.

It's just a pity that I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't even have time to inform Yan Xiu'er, so I could only leave two letters.

Although what Jia Xiao said just now was good, everyone knew that the reason why Lan Ji let herself go back in such a hurry was probably because the cheap father's injury was not optimistic, and he might die at any time. If this is really the case, as a child, if you can't see him for the last time, at least morally, you will definitely be criticized as unfilial. It is precisely for this reason that there are naturally people in the Jiedu Mansion who will do everything possible to obstruct their appearance.

No one will have too few competitors, let alone the battle for succession.

In order to conceal their whereabouts, the three of them naturally couldn't make a big fuss, so they gave up the Tianyi Xuanma to walk, and chose to walk in a low-key manner.

Jiedu Mansion is located in Liuzhou, the most central city of Liuyuan County, and it is also the largest and most prosperous place in the entire Liuyuan County. Lushan is more than 600 miles away from Liuzhou, which is undoubtedly quite far away for ordinary people, but for Xuan Xiu, even if it only uses two legs, it is only a few days' journey.

In order to cover people's eyes, and Zhanbai had just recovered from his injury, the three of them deliberately slowed down and planned to rush to Liuzhou on the seventh day.

On the rugged and difficult mountain road, Jia Xiao and Yi Yan each held an arm stretching white, seemingly walking leisurely, but each step was five or six feet away, this speed even the top light martial arts in the ordinary martial arts, they would be ashamed to see it.

"It's a novelty to feel like a burden." Zhanbai laughed at himself, but, having said that, he did not refuse the kindness of the two, since this injury, Zhanbai knew that for a long time, it was best for him to honestly play the role of a waste, and the only thing he could do was the head hanging around his neck.

"It's a long way to go, why don't any of you tell me about the situation in the house?" The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Zhan Bai, who did not get much relevant information from Zhao Mingchuan's memory, hit the two of them with his idea.

"This ...... The subordinates are subordinate to the criminal car guards, and they never dare to ask about the affairs of the house, so we don't know much. The Armor Owl hesitated for a moment.

"It's okay, I've been fostered in the Lushan Sword Sect since I was a child, and I know less than you." Zhan Bai pursed his lips, in order to protect Zhao Mingchuan, at a very young age, Lan Ji sent him to the Lushan Sword Sect, but this also created a fact, that is, Zhao Mingchuan himself was blinded by the affairs of the Jiedu Mansion.

"It's up to me to say it, after all, as a woman, I enter the mansion more often." Yiyan took over the conversation and muttered and organized a language.

"As Liu Yuan Jiedu, Lord Jiedu's status in the mansion is naturally a word, and under him, there are several master mothers. Lord Jiedu married nine wives and concubines successively. There is one wife, two equal wives, and the rest are concubines, so the status of the nine housewives is different. Of course, in addition to the name, the status is also determined by the background, and the high and low of the background also means the amount of right to speak. ”

"I know all of this, so you can pick up what I don't know." Zhan Bai interrupted Yiyan's words in time, if she was allowed to say this, she didn't know when she would say it, of course, the most important thing is that this information is not of much value.

"The subordinates know their mistakes, so let's talk about the character and background of the nine housewives, after all, these are very important in the future battle for succession." Yiyan woke up in time and realized that she had just said nonsense, so she hurriedly changed her words.

"The main wife Yuan's family, and Jiedu are childhood sweethearts, but their background is not high, just a small family. Although so, after all, it is a wife, and the relationship between husband and wife for many years is very trusted. Although he has the highest status in the house, his temperament is gentle and he doesn't know how to operate, but he doesn't have too many threats.

The two equal wives were married thirty years ago. At that time, Jiedu had just inherited Liuzhou Jiedu, and in order to stabilize his rule, he married with the two major forces in Liuzhou, and obtained a lot of assistance through this means. One of them is surnamed Zhao, born in the Zhao family in Liuzhou, and has great prestige and power in the local area, which also creates Zhao's strong and domineering character, the most unpleasant, and she is also the most enthusiastic person for seizing the heir, but unfortunately, this person is ambitious and talented, and there are not too many city governments, all relying on the support of the family behind the back. Another flat wife is the Qian family, who was born in a merchant family, and almost controls most of Liuzhou's economic lifeline, and it is precisely because of this that he bought a lot of eyeliner in the house, but he had to guard against it. ”

Speaking of this, Yiyan paused slightly, allowing Zhan Bai to digest the information well.

"Well, move on." Zhan Bai kept this information in his heart, and his expression had become solemn, the water in this Jiedu Mansion was really not ordinarily deep, it was just one positive and two flat, three harems, and its power was enough to make people prohibitive.

"The remaining six people, including the main mother, are all concubines, and they are naturally a head shorter than the previous three in terms of name, but they must not be underestimated, except for the main mother, everyone has a large and small power behind them, either from a famous family, or from a prominent family, and the worst is the daughter of a sect master in Liuyuan County. Usually, they provide shelter for the forces behind them in order to gain covert support. As for ...... now"

"Now it's naturally embarrassing, and moths are attacking the right of inheritance." Zhan Bai continued Yiyan's words.

"Young Master Mingjian." Yiyan nodded.

"Well, these days will slowly get to know, you can tell me now about those brothers who want to kill me." Zhanbai bit the three words of brother very hard, and it is not difficult to hear the mockery.

Nima is the rhythm of a court drama, it's really unimaginable, but the festival of a continent, this battle for succession is not much better than the court fight in the TV series in the previous life.

For a while, Zhanbai only felt that his brain hurt, and the next days would definitely be difficult.

"This ......" Yiyan seemed to be a little ashamed to speak, and she swallowed for a while.

"Lord Jiedu gave birth to a total of thirty-four heirs, including eighteen sons and sixteen daughters. Not to mention the daughter for the time being, after all, as a woman, there is no right to inherit according to the rules. Of the remaining eighteen sons, fourteen were adults, and three of them were deposed and lost their inheritance rights because of their past mistakes. In this way, there are still eleven people who are qualified to win the heir with the son. They are the second son Zhao Mingxuan, the third son Zhao Mingze, the fourth son Zhao Mingyuan, and the sixth son Zhao Ming......"

Before Jia Xiao finished speaking in an old-fashioned tone, Zhan Bai stroked his forehead and stopped, my good man, this cheap dad is really old and strong, there are so many heirs, just one by one, even if there is a memory of Zhao Mingchuan, it makes him have a headache when he listens. Even if you listen to it now, you won't be able to meet in the future.

"Stop, just say the people who are the biggest threat to me."

"The third son, Zhao Mingze, the sixth son, Zhao Mingluo, the ninth son, Zhao Mingfan, and the eleventh son, Zhao Minghua." The armor blurted out without even thinking about it.

"So much?" Zhan Bai was a little stupid.

"There are only so many, in fact, although there are many heirs of Lord Jiedu, except for those who were young last year and deposed and did not have the qualifications to inherit, not everyone has the heart to seize the heir, and the four sons I just talked about have their own means to attract a lot of sons, so that four major parties have been formed, openly and secretly fighting each other." Armor explained.

"In that case, I can also quit taking the heir." Zhan Bai immediately said, not only because this battle for the heir is particularly dangerous, but more importantly, he had no intention of doing this in the first place.

"I'm afraid not." Jia Xiao glanced at Zhan Bai meaningfully, "Because of the master's mother, she has made a lot of enemies in the mansion, even if the young master withdraws from the battle for succession, once the inheritance is lost, it will definitely be regarded as an enemy, and she wants to get rid of it as soon as possible." ”

"Why......" Before Zhan Bai could ask, he had already figured out the joints.

The reason is very simple, just because his cheap mother is in control of the torture car guard.

No matter who succeeds in seizing the heir, he will never tolerate the most powerful force in Jiedu Mansion in the hands of outsiders, so the best way to take power is undoubtedly to get rid of Lan Ji and himself.

The royal family has no affection, and the same is true of the Jiedu Mansion.

Although he had no intention of taking the heir, since he was forced by the situation, Zhanbai was also decisive, did not hesitate to waver, nodded firmly, and did not speak again.
