625, hopelessly stupid
Several chiefs and presidents of the Murong family were assassinated, all of them died under the water system, one of them was the second uncle of the head of the Murong family, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew was very good.
But under such strict prevention and control, the second uncle was still assassinated, and as soon as he came out of the company's gate, he was shot in the head by a water arrow.
The dead soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they carefully sifted through the surrounding buildings, there could be no snipers, where did this assassin shoot the arrows?
After careful investigation, they found out that the other party was shooting arrows from across a building, and its archery skills were unbelievable.
Murong Jia was furious.
This assassination became the fuse for the two families to start an all-out war, and each tried its best to win over the major families into their camp.
The Chi family naturally relied on the Xia family, the Xia family and the Murong family sent people to lobby the Zong family, and the head of the Zong family, Zong Yuxuan, looked like a neutral and unhelpful person, which made the lobbyists of the two families return home.
And the disciples of the side branches secretly trained by the Zong family also grew up rapidly, and Zong Yuna, as one of the leaders, quickly broke through the three poles and became the backbone of the Zong family.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and the battle between the Murong family and the Xia family escalated day by day, and the army under the control of the two began to friction in some provinces, and even shootouts, and a full-scale civil war was on the verge of breaking out.
In the midst of the ups and downs, Huaguo ushered in the annual Moon Ring Festival.
The Moon Ring Festival is the traditional festival of China, it is the most solemn festival in addition to the harvest festival and the independence day, every household in the capital hangs the moon-white lanterns, and everywhere is filled with a festive atmosphere.
The Li family is an old scholarly family in the capital, and his ancestors have been the prime minister, and there have been many ministerial-level officials. Later, the imperial system was overthrown and entered the era of democracy, and this family never touched the officialdom again, but only devoted itself to teaching and educating people, and there were many great Confucians. Therefore, no matter how the political situation changes, the family is respected.
Every year on the Moon Wheel Festival, the Li family will hold a grand dinner, important people in the capital will attend, the Zong family also received an invitation, Jiang Tong followed Zong Yuxuan to participate, Zong Yuxuan's female companion is his fiancΓ©e, and Jiang Tong's male companion is her disciple Lin Lu.
The Li family's mansion is in a completely Western style, with huge Greek pillars that are white throughout, reflecting the white light of the lantern moon, even if the hall is staggered, there is still a strange sense of desolation.
Jiang Tong paused slightly in front of the door, looked up at the sky, the black clouds were overwhelming the city and wanted to destroy it, tonight, the wind and rain were combined, it must be an unquiet night.
Handing over the invitation, the waiter in tuxedo opened the door for them, and the four of them walked in together, attracting the attention of the audience in an instant.
As the fastest climbing family in the capital, the Zong family has been attracting attention for some time in recent times, and the whole capital knows that Zong Yuxuan, the acting head of the Zong family, has a strong wrist and superior strength, only the people in power of these families know that the Zong family can have today, it is the credit of the eldest lady of the Zong family, Zong Yuting.
Therefore, their eyes all fell on Zong Yuting.
This sight made their eyes light up.
Today's Zong Yuting is wearing a moon-white evening dress, the skirt hangs down at the ankles, her hair is coiled on the top of her head, and a pearl hairpin is pinned to her sideburns.
Zong Yuting's appearance is not the most beautiful tonight, but this temperament is unmatched, and even the smile on the corner of her lips seems to come from the other immortal country, which makes people look forward to it and can't take their eyes off.
At this time, many people began to notice the male partner next to her, who was not handsome and not very old, but he was tall and gave people a strange sense of oppression.
It's a Stranger!
For a while, the eyes of many people swept over him, wanting to see his cultivation level, but he was as immobile as a mountain, and his slightly childish face was cold, and he couldn't see anything at all.
After the four of them entered, they were quickly surrounded by people, and the heads of various families and the ladies of the family surrounded the four of them to make friends.
"Miss Zong, who is this gentleman?" A noble lady asked, "It looks a little raw." β
Jiang Tong was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a somewhat arrogant female voice say: "I heard that Miss Zong accepted an ugly and short untouchable as a disciple, why didn't I see you bring that disciple over today." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were a little weird, and Jiang Tong raised his eyes to see that it was the Chi Xuelian who was cheated by her.
Today's Chi Xuelian is wearing a bright red dress, dressed very beautifully, but it's okay not to open her mouth, as soon as she opens her mouth, it makes people feel contempt, and many noble ladies secretly say in their hearts, it is really a thing that can't be put on the table, and it is worthy of being from the Chi family who has no foundation.
Jiang Tong smiled: "Miss Chi, I heard that you spent millions to buy a jade hairpin, why didn't you wear it today?" Your clothes are more elegant with jade hairpins. β
Chi Xuelian's face changed, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she was about to scold, when a girl next to her gently pulled her sleeve and shook her head, Chi Xuelian was immediately angry, slapped the girl in the face, and shouted: "You are just an illegitimate daughter who can't be on the stage, who allows you to touch me!" β
The girl's face was very ugly, she lowered her head and didn't speak, Chi Xuelian raised her chin and said arrogantly: "Remember for me, you are just a thing to make me happy, if you dare to pull and pull with me again, I will marry you to the third young master of the Zeng family tomorrow." β
The third young master of the Zeng family is a famous fool in the capital, it is said that his mother was poisoned when he was pregnant with him, and as a result, he gave birth to a fool, and he made trouble outside all day long.
Hearing this, a noble lady in the crowd was unhappy and sneered: "What does Miss Chi mean by this?" You teach your sister a lesson, this is all your family matter, why do you want to talk about my family sketches? β
This noble lady is the second daughter-in-law of the Zeng family, Chi Xuelian's words are undoubtedly a slap in her face, she is also a hot temper, how can she bear it.
Chi Xuelian glanced at her, and snorted coldly indifferently: "Your third young master is a fool, this is something that everyone in the capital knows, why, no one is allowed to say it?" β
The noble lady's face turned red, and she endured it and endured it so that she didn't scold in public, after all, this is the banquet of the Li family, she is a dignified lady, if she quarrels with someone, will the Zeng family's face be gone?
This Chi Xuelian is a fool, she is not.
"The upbringing of the Chi family, I have learned it today." The lady snorted coldly and turned away. Chi Xuelian thought that she was scolded by herself, and her face was full of pride: "A daughter-in-law of the Zeng family dares to fight with me." β
The people around shook their heads secretly, this Chi Xuelian is really a second fool, not only can't tell the difference between good and bad, but she can't even understand other people's words, the Xia family is really pitiful, such a stupid woman is actually their future housewife.
Chi Xuelian pointed the finger at Jiang Tong again: "You haven't answered my words yet?" What about your disciple? Didn't bring it out for us? Do you think he doesn't even see anyone? β
Lin Lu's face was very gloomy.
Jiang Tong smiled, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Miss Chi, I don't know where you got the news from, this is a complete rumor." This is my disciple Lin Lu. β
Everyone took a light breath, looked Lin Lu up and down, and then cast a disdainful glance at Chi Xuelian.
"Such a tall and handsome young man, how can he be said to be short and ugly?"
"I don't know where the eyes are."
"It's just a rumor."
Chi Xuelian suddenly felt that her face couldn't hold back, stared at Lin Lu and gritted her teeth: "Sure enough, it's a young handsome man, you shouldn't be a few years younger than Miss Zong, right?" I heard that Miss Zong always closes the door in the backyard and teaches you secretly? Don't let anyone else come close? I don't know what I taught you. β
Her eyes were full of love and meaning, everyone's eyes lit up, master and apprentice love? That's a lot of gossip.
Lin Lu's face sank, and she was about to step forward, but was stopped by Jiang Tong raising her hand, she sneered: "Since this is a secret, why would Miss Chi know?" β
Everyone was shocked, as if they had thought of something, Jiang Tong picked the corners of his mouth: "It seems that the Chi family is very well-informed." β
Chi Xuelian was even more proud, raised her head and said, "Of course, there is nothing I don't know about in the capital." β
The faces of the ladies were unpredictable, and the illegitimate daughter of the Chi family beside her lowered her head, and silently screamed in her heart.
Jiang Tong was completely shocked, she thought that she had already seen the stupidest young lady in the world in the He family, but the eldest lady of the Chi family in front of her had simply refreshed the lower limit, and she was hopelessly stupid.
Jiang Tong looked at the sky silently, talking to such a fool was simply lowering her identity and taste.
The surrounding ladies probably also had this idea, and they dispersed one after another, what should I do, Jiang Tong turned around and wanted to leave, Chi Xuelian felt that she had swept her face, and was about to step forward to speak, when suddenly a hand reached over and grabbed her.
She turned her head and saw a handsome young man, who was the next heir of the Xia family who was engaged to her, Xia Mu.
Her attitude changed suddenly, and she took his hand and coquettishly: "Brother Mu, they bullied me, you must help me teach them a lesson." β
Xia Mu's face turned pale, hugged her waist, and said to Jiang Tong: "I'm sorry, if my fiancΓ©e is rude, please ask Haihan." β
"Brother Mu, why are you apologizing to them?" Chi Xuelian's face was full of unhappiness, Xia Mu glared at her fiercely, her neck shrank, and then she shut up.
Chi Xuelian was half-dragged and half-pulled away by Xia Mu, looking at the backs of the two, Lin Lu said in a low voice: "It seems that there will be a bloody storm tonight." βR1152
