Chapter 185: What a Courage!
The elder of the Zheng family has a gentle temper, and he usually only knows how to cultivate, so he is not very capable of managing things, but Elder Tong is not.
Elder Tong has always had a hot temper, and only the Great Elder is looking forward, knowing what the Great Elder of the Dao Dao thinks, and seeing everyone laughing and laughing, slapping the fart of the head of the family and the eldest prince, he immediately glared at him, and scolded angrily: "What bullshit! A bunch of short-sighted things! Surrendering to Venerable Liu, could it be that he also lost the face of the Zheng family? What is the identity of the person? What is the identity of the Zheng family? Not to mention that we are just a Zheng family, even the elders of those first-class sects, they have to be respectful when they see her, how old is the Zheng family? ”
Although Elder Tong did not name him, everyone knew who he was talking about. It is the eldest prince who was talking about it just now.
The eldest prince also knew that Elder Tong was talking about himself, his face suddenly turned into pig liver, and he was ashamed and angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute, because Elder Tong was an elder, and he was invited from outside, and his cultivation was also one of the best among the elders, so he couldn't be easily offended, so he could only look at his father as if he was asking for help.
A trace of annoyance and coldness flashed in the eyes of the Zheng family master, but there was a smile on his face, and he touched his beard and looked at the burly and tall Elder Tong and said, "Elder Tong, our Zheng family is also one of the three major families of the Jinming Mansion, although it is said to be under the jurisdiction of Puji Guan, but this is only in name. What's more, our Zheng family has grown rapidly, and even the Su family has to regress, and we still have so many allies, even if we are against the Puji Temple, we may not have the strength to fight, so why should we be afraid of a true disciple of the Puji Temple? ”
Elder Tong sneered when he heard this, "It turns out that this is how the head of the family views our Zheng family. Okay, then tell me, why is our Zheng family arguing with Pujiguan? Could it be that there are any mid-congenital or late-congenital martial artists in our family, who I don't know? ”
When the others heard this, they also frowned slightly, and looked at the Zheng family master with puzzled and expectant eyes-
Seeing that the head of the family is so domineering, could it be that their Zheng family really has such a powerful hole card?
If this is true, the Zheng family does have the strength to fight with Pu Jiguan.
Thinking of this, the Zheng family's eyes began to glow. Even the eldest prince is no exception.
The Zheng family master was a little embarrassed by everyone's gaze, he just said casually in order to improve everyone's confidence, if the Zheng family had a martial artist in the late congenital stage, how could he nest in a small Jinming Mansion and go to find a new world a long time ago.
He coughed lightly and said stiffly: "The masters of the mid-congenital stage, as well as the masters of the late congenital stage, are very rare and precious to the first-class sect, how can we have a small family?" ”
When everyone present heard this, their faces showed disappointment.
Elder Tong was unforgiving, and when he heard this, he sneered and said, "That family master was talking big just now?" There are no martial artists above the middle stage of the congenital stage, why should our Zheng family compete with the Puji Concept? Don't forget, there are several innate martial artists in the Puji Sightseeing True Transmission disciples, and even Venerable Liu is above the middle congenital stage, calculating that she does not have the backing of the Puji Concept, she is not an existence that we can easily provoke. Not to mention, behind the family, there is also a super sect - Xuantian Sect, maybe our Zheng family, in the eyes of others, is not as good as a small ant, can be trampled to death at will. ”
"People give us opportunities because they are generous. Otherwise, she would have ordered the destruction of our Zheng family a long time ago. But when we treat this hard-won opportunity, we are careless, lucky, and feel that people are kind and generous, so we have to make inches? However, don't take everyone else for fools, do you think Venerable Liu can give us a chance, will he give us a second chance? Don't be silly! ”
Elder Tong spoke a lot in one breath, and he didn't even breathe.
These words sounded harsh, but they were deafening, and they woke up everyone's luck and dreams at once, and they were like frosted eggplants, and they were more scared than they were at the beginning.
In the conference hall, there was a sudden silence.
After a while, a guest elder hesitated and said, "Family Master, looking at this matter, do you want to discuss it again, after all, it is related to the survival of the entire Zheng family." ”
"yes, let's talk about it again?"
"It's better to think long-term!"
There are also those who strongly oppose it, for example, the two congenital warriors who protected Zheng Danru to go to the Shangguan family and were killed by Liu Mixi, they are also elders of the Zheng family, although they are all people with foreign surnames, but they have already taken refuge in the Zheng family, loyalty is not a problem at all, they all married the daughters of the Zheng family, and there are many children and grandchildren.
For example, now, a few men knelt down and kowtowed to the head of the Zheng family: "Master of the family, please be the master for us!" Our elders were all killed by Liu Muxi, even if we die, we will not bow to the enemy. If the Zheng family surrenders to her, then what should we do? Please also ask the head of the family to be tough to the end, avenge our elders, and seek justice for us! ”
As they spoke, they kowtowed heavily.
"Yes, father, that Liu Muxi also killed two innate martial artists of our Zheng family, they are our enemies, even for the sake of the dead elders, and we can't compromise with Liu Muxi." The eldest prince said righteously.
The men who were kneeling on the ground all looked at the eldest prince gratefully.
Elder Tong snorted coldly and said, "It's easy to say! If you want to take revenge, go away, no one will stop you, but, I said ugly things ahead, don't affect the Zheng family. Otherwise, don't blame our Zheng family for sweeping you out of the house. ”
A trace of resentment and hatred flashed on the eldest prince's face, but he quickly concealed it, looked at his father stubbornly and said, "How did my father plan it?" ”
Of course, the head of the Zheng family would not bow his head to Liu Muxi, because he thought that he was going to vomit out all the food he had eaten, and even had to bleed profusely, he finally developed the Zheng family, how could he let people destroy his hard work?
Even if he knew that Liu Muxi was not easy to mess with, how could he be willing to let him destroy the kingdom he had established with his own hands?
can only be lucky, try her best to convince herself, Liu Muxi is just a soft-hearted person, since she has already given them a chance, what's the harm in raising your hand again?
So, he showed a smile and said, "Why is Elder Tong so strict? Murder pays for life, and it is justified. Liu Muxi killed their relatives, and they want revenge, which is understandable. The two elders, Lin and Song, have served our Zheng family for so many years and made a lot of contributions to our Zheng family, how can we abandon their descendants? Chill everyone? ”
Elder Tong sneered and said, "So, the head of the family wants to avenge them?" ”
After speaking, he glanced up and down at the head of the Zheng family, and the meaning of contempt was self-evident.
"Hehe, Elder Tong laughed, how can I avenge them?" The head of the Zheng family laughed dryly and said. Elder Tong's gaze made his cheeky skin a little red, and he hated it in his heart, but he couldn't be rude in front of everyone. After that, he cultivated a force that was completely his own, and he had to clean up these old guys one by one.
Elder Tong wanted to be sarcastic, but was stopped by a look from the Great Elder, and Elder Tong had no choice but to reluctantly stop his mouth.
The Great Elder said, "Does the head of the family have an idea about how to deal with this matter?" After all, time is running out. ”
The Great Elder was a little anxious in his heart, this was related to the survival of the Zheng family, but the eyes of the head of the family were blinded by interests, and he had already lost his ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and even had luck, which made him even more worried about the future of the Zheng family.
The head of the Zheng family groaned and said, "Liu Muxi killed the two innate martial artists of my Zheng family, if you want her to be soft, it will definitely not work!" However, we can't save her face, it is necessary to apologize, and then give her a rich gift, presumably, our Zheng family can also be with Liu Muxi as a jade silk. ”
After a pause, he said again: "It is said that Liu Muxi likes spirit grass and spirit plants the most, and our Zheng family also has a few spirit grasses, so we will give three spirit grasses, as well as a few gold and silver, and give them to Liu Muxi, presumably she can also feel our sincerity." ”
Spirit grass is a priceless treasure, but it can not be sought, I hope Liu Muxi can look at the spirit grass for the sake of it, don't worry about the past.
When Elder Tong heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, stood up with a bang, and said coldly to the head of the Zheng family: "Things have come to this point, I don't think there is any need for me to stay in the Zheng family, I'll pack up my things and leave now, I wish you good luck!" ”
Elder Tong is not the Zheng family, for the sake of the great elder's face, he stayed in the Zheng family, and now, the Zheng family is about to fall, why should he pay for his life for the Zheng family. Although he owes the Great Elder a favor, but after so many years, his kindness has already been repaid, so why should he lose his life for this fool?
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Elder Tong, please stay!"
The head of the Zheng family, Elder Daotong, has always said that one is one, and he will never regret it, he said that if he wants to leave, he really wants to leave, and seeing that he is going to leave at this juncture, he quickly stood up and shouted to him.
"What else do you have to say?" Elder Tong turned around and looked at him mockingly.
The Zheng family master sneered and said, "Why is Elder Tong in a hurry to leave? In the nearly twenty years that you have been in our Zheng family, we have never treated you badly? "Aren't you ungrateful in doing this?
He didn't say the last sentence, but the meaning was very clear.
Hearing this, Elder Tong's mocking smile deepened, and he looked at him deeply and said, "If it weren't for the kindness of the Great Elder back then, you think I would have wronged myself to stay in the Zheng family for so many years?" Even the cultivation was delayed. If it weren't for the sake of repaying the favor, I would have been a master above the middle congenital stage by now, you must know that the resources of your Zheng family are really not good? At the beginning, the condition for the Great Elder to save me was to stay in the Zheng family for twenty years, but now, the favor has long been repaid, and I didn't leave because I was still reluctant to share my relationship with the Great Elder. But, now, I can't find a reason for me to stay. ”
The Great Elder also stood up and said slowly, "Is it really impossible to stay?" ”
Elder Tong looked at him for a moment, then reluctantly pulled out a stiff smile and said, "I'm sorry! ”
"For what? Is it because I don't agree with your proposal? The Zheng family master said with a frown.
Now, when the Zheng family needs people. For the Zheng family, every innate martial artist is very precious, and two have already died, and if one more is lost, the strength of the Zheng family will definitely drop significantly.
What's more, this Elder Tong's strength can almost be said to be the strongest. How could he let him go?
Elder Tong didn't have such a good attitude towards the Zheng family master, and glanced at him contemptuously and said, "I'm not so stingy!" I just don't want to stay in a family that is destined to have no future. Although I owe my eldest brother a favor, I never thought about losing my life. Twenty years is already my limit. Now, I can finally go about my own thing. ”
The Great Elder sighed and said, "Yes, you don't owe me anything?" Back then, it was me who coerced me to repay the favor, and I couldn't help it. Let's go! Our Zheng family really doesn't have the face to keep you anymore. ”
"Great Elder, why are you ......" The Zheng family head was a little anxious.
"Shut up!" It was the first time for the Great Elder to speak to the Zheng family master so harshly, making the Zheng family master stand on the spot.
The Great Elder didn't look at the Zheng family master's surprised expression, his eyes looked ahead in confusion, and he said lightly: "If I had known that you would have ruined the Zheng family one day, I would never have chosen you to be the head of the Zheng family." Perhaps, I should have stopped you when you had the idea of beating Venerable Liu, and now I really regret not doing it at the beginning. ”
The face of the Zheng family master changed.
The Great Elder sighed, and then said to the people who were in doubt, "If you want to leave, leave quickly!" Otherwise, your Zheng family will never be able to leave again. ”
After saying this, his back bent down suddenly, and even the wrinkles on his face were much deeper, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.
Looking at the back of the Great Elder slowly leaving, the silence in the council hall was terrifying, and everyone's faces were pale and pale like ghosts.
Some young people couldn't stand this atmosphere, and they couldn't stand the real decay of the Zheng family, and began to waver in the previous decision of the Zheng family master-
"Family Master, you still agreed to Venerable Liu's conditions! It's not even three days away, and we're still in time! ”
"Yes, master! The Great Elder won't lie to us. I'm still young, I don't want to die yet! ”
Someone made a bird, and the rest of the people seemed to have the courage to start talking nonsense, and their opinions were exactly the opposite of what they had just been.
However, the Zheng family master is a stubborn person, he will not make changes easily, even the words of the elders, he will turn a deaf ear, let alone others?
"Shut up! The Great Elder is confused, the matter is not so serious at all, you can settle down! It's all with me! ”
The head of the Zheng family is still very prestigious, and after listening to his words, many people's emotions have calmed down, but there is still a panic spreading.
At this time, the only remaining elder with a foreign surname among the elders also stood up and bid farewell to the Zheng family master. He is not the Zheng family, so there is no need to live and die with the Zheng family.
Moreover, he didn't agree with the Zheng family's head of the family at the beginning, but now, the actions of the Great Elder and Elder Sun made him make up his mind to leave.
The head of the Zheng family was almost mad at them, and with a hint of anger, he waved his hand and said, "If anyone else wants to leave, even if they leave, I will not stop them." But if you want to come back, it's too late. I don't believe that Liu Muxi would really do such a great thing! ”
Fortunately, to his relief, none of the Zheng family members proposed to leave.
It's a pity that he didn't know what to say, after the meeting was dispersed, those young children were escorted away by their parents, and it was not difficult to find a place to settle down with a lot of family wealth.
Even if something happens, it can save the flame of the Zheng family.
Some have a long-term vision, and they also tell their children that if the family is unfortunately defeated, don't think about revenge, after all, Liu Muxi's identity and cultivation may not be able to catch up with them in their lifetime. What's more, this matter is not Liu Muxi's fault, she gave the Zheng family a chance, but the head of the family insisted on going his own way and killing himself, who can blame him?
Later, the Zheng family was glad countless times that their arrangement this time really preserved the hope and future of the Zheng family, even if it was to make a comeback in the future, it would not be difficult.
The next day, the head of the Zheng family woke up early. Last night, he originally wanted to meditate and cultivate, but unfortunately, he was upset and had to sleep. Who knew that he didn't sleep well at all, he had nightmares all night, and the next day, he was a little dizzy.
When the maid was waiting for him to comb his hair, he accidentally tore off a few of his hairs, and the head of the Zheng family was furious, and waved it out with one palm, and the maid soon ran out of breath, and he didn't care, and let people drag it down with a cold face.
Anyway, she's just a maid, and if she dies, she dies.
As soon as the head of the Zheng family finished freshening up, he saw a henchman he trusted very much, and hurried over, saying, "Family master, it's not good!" The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder left overnight with a group of Zheng family disciples, and there were a lot of things missing from the treasury, including a few spirit grasses that you wanted to give to Venerable Liu. ”
"What? How dare they be so bold? Without my order, he left the Zheng family without authorization. Did they still take me as the head of the family seriously? The Zheng family head was furious.
The henchman lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"What about the Great Elder?"
"Back to the head of the family, the Great Elder...... He ......"
"What's wrong with him? No matter what he's doing, let him come to see me right away? The Zheng family master said angrily.
"The head of the family, the Great Elder, he...... It's gone......" said the henchman.
The head of the Zheng family was a little incredulous, and muttered: "This is impossible, obviously it was a good ...... last night" Saying that, he pinched his neck fiercely, and said with red eyes: "You dare to lie to me?" I'll kill you! ”
"Head of the house...... Spare ...... life," the henchman said intermittently, struggling.
At this time, a panicked footstep saved his life, and before he was about to be strangled to death, the Zheng family master finally let go of him and looked at the door.
"Father, it's not good!" The person who came was the eldest prince.
The head of the Zheng family valued his eldest son very much, and didn't want to lose his temper with him, so he took a deep breath, put on his father's majesty, and reprimanded: "What kind of system is it that is panicked?" What about your rules! ”
"The son has seen the father!" The eldest prince had no choice but to tidy up his clothes and give him a salute, and without waiting for the head of the Zheng family to speak, he came up anxiously and said with deep fear: "Father, our Zheng family is surrounded, what do you say we should do?" ”
"Surrounded? Who is so bold? I don't know if our Zheng family is one of the three major families of Jinming Mansion? The Zheng family master said angrily, with a trace of incomprehension in his eyes, and a trace of inexplicable panic.
The eldest prince has long since lost the confidence he had when he talked yesterday, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and he looked completely frightened.
"Father, I ...... I don't know who Lu Dao is? Anyway, there is ...... There were a lot of people, though, and I saw several of our in-laws......"
The head of the Zheng family was still at a loss in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on, but when he heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, well, it is worthy of my fancy in-laws, and when he saw that our Zheng family was in trouble, he even rushed over to support." Unlike the white-eyed wolves in our family, they actually fled in the wilderness, which is really a shame for our Zheng family. Hmph, wait for this to pass, and see how I clean them up. Let's go, Wei Jie, go with my father to meet them, we can't be slow to treat others. ”
The eldest son, Zheng Weijie, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing his father's confident appearance, he began to suspect that he had heard it wrong, maybe they were not always looking for trouble, but came to help the Zheng family, so they also settled down and followed.
The father and son walked towards the door with a group of Zheng Mansion guards, but before they reached the door, some noisy sounds came in.
The Zheng family master frowned unhappily, but he didn't say anything, but he secretly despised it in his heart, although the several families he married to him, although the power was not small, but most of them were emerging forces, and they had no background, which made the Zheng family master a little contemptuous-
Sure enough, he is a nouveau riche, and there are no rules.
At this time, outside the gate, the Zheng family has been completely surrounded, and even the entire Zheng family has been fenced off, and the housekeeper Zheng Fu is reasoning with everyone and trying his best to intercept these people and prevent them from breaking in.
At this time, the people who were coaxing were just some casual cultivators, in fact, even if they were casual cultivators, they were all martial artists above the peak of the day after tomorrow, and people from several other families were standing behind.
The Lord hasn't come out yet, and they don't have to fight with a scary person.
"The head of the house has arrived!" At this time, a clear voice came from inside the gate, and the people outside listened to it, and they stopped making noise, and they all looked inside.
Zheng Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat, these people are too difficult to deal with.
Just thinking of the intentions of these people, he suddenly became worried.
The head of the Zheng family walked outside the door, there were all kinds of people outside, almost everything, he couldn't help frowning, he looked around, and sure enough, he saw several families who were married to him, although the daughter of the family has not yet married, but the marriage has been decided.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by recognition.
"Master Zheng, three days have passed, and you have made your choice. I don't have to be polite to you, do you want to know how to die? An innate martial artist with a knife said.
The smile on the Zheng family's face froze, and he glanced at him with disdain, and said, "Are you talking to me?" You can't be that you haven't woken up, right? He said such a ridiculous thing. ”
The innate martial artist laughed angrily: "I'm not talking to you, am I still talking to ghosts?" Do you think Venerable Liu is just talking and playing? Venerable Liu gave you a chance, but you didn't do anything, so don't blame us for taking your Zheng family! ”
The Zheng family master's face finally became solemn, thinking of Liu Muxi's identity, a cold sweat flowed down, and said: "It's not that I didn't take Venerable Liu's words seriously, I plan to send someone to apologize to Venerable Liu today, please believe it." ”
He now finally knew what these people were doing.
This is simply trying to curry favor with Liu Muxi, and he plans to take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well.
"Apologize? Dao Lu apologizes for having a fart! You don't think that Venerable Liu is rare and your Dao is apologizing, right? Venerable Liu said clearly, give the Zheng family three days to deal with this matter, if the handling is satisfactory, your Zheng family can escape, if the handling is not satisfactory, then don't blame Venerable Liu for being ruthless. But for the past three days, you have not done anything. Obviously, he took Venerable Liu's words as a deaf ear, so Venerable Liu didn't have to spare you. The innate martial artist with the knife said sharply.
"That's right! Venerable Liu has already done his best to the Zheng family, who let you not grasp this opportunity, it is too late to regret it now. Venerable Liu won't give you a second chance. Someone answered.
"What's going on? How can it be! How dare she be so domineering? Zheng Fu, what the hell is going on? The head of the Zheng family was like being struck by lightning, his face was incredibly white, and at this time, he finally felt anxious and afraid.
Zheng Fu was relatively calm, he had already known that this was the result, and bowed down and said, "Family master, that's what the little one said to you, but you didn't pay attention to it at all, it was you who misunderstood." ”
"Then why didn't you remind me?" The Zheng family head roared angrily.
"The head of the family, you have always been arbitrary, how can you listen to the opinions of villains." Zheng Fu raised his head and looked at him and said.
"You...... Diao Nu ......"
The head of the Zheng family scolded angrily, but he also knew that this was not the time to deal with Zheng Fu, so he looked at the future husband of his fourth daughter, the elder of the Huang family, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Elder Huang, I haven't seen you for many days, is the head of the Huang family in good health?" ”
"It's very good, don't worry about the head of the Zheng family." Elder Huang said coldly, judging the two of them with his previous warm attitude.
The smile on the face of the Zheng family master was a little unbearable, but he still said cheekily: "Elder Huang, for the sake of our Zheng and Huang families, can you help the younger brother through this difficulty?" Don't worry, our Zheng family will never treat your Huang family badly. ”
Thinking of bleeding profusely, the head of the Zheng family was a little distressed, but there was no way, in order for the Zheng family to continue to survive, what was a little thing?
When Elder Huang heard this, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he said sarcastically, "Master Zheng, it's better to say goodbye." You Zheng family, we can't afford to climb high, and the marriage will be stopped. After all, we are not your Zheng family, and we dare to listen to Venerable Liu's words? What courage! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and the face of the Zheng family head suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
