Qing Tao's words made Qing Hai's mouth open wide, he never seemed to expect his son to say such things to himself on such an occasion.

"Disobedience, how dare you disobey ......" After a while, Qing Hai reacted, but just said a few words, Qing Tao looked disdainful: "This is not disobedience, this is what we deserve!" ”

Qing Hai was still dumbfounded.

As a descendant of a family, a noble child with a positive source of ritual culture, such non-compliance is disobedience: dare to take the seat of the suzerain, how can it become what it deserves?

"Dad, take a good look at the people standing here! For more than ten years, who has been taking care of everything in the Qing family's land? Who is the iron horse that provides the Qing family's combat power with a long and powerful iron horse? And who is guarding the southern border of the territory for Nanzhao? It's us, it's us who stay on the land of the Qing family, it's us branch houses, not the long house that reigns in the capital! ”

Qing Tao threw away the rattan as he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a few people around him who had not spoken much, and pushed them in front of his father.

"Look at the wound on Uncle Ming's leg, it was injured when he fought with the people of the Sea Dragon Kingdom; Look at Fargo's nimble hand, which was trampled on when he tamed a fierce horse; Look at ......" Qing Tao said about the people around him one by one, pointed out the injuries and pain on their bodies, and stared at Qing Hai at the end: "Dad, we have all paid a lot for the Qing family, and the long house in the capital has won the king's lordship, and life is worry-free, if it is not a deviation, will they come back?" ”

"This ......" Qing Hai pursed his lips, but didn't say anything after all.

Qingyue was also in the capital when it was smooth sailing, and the days and times he returned to the clan land were only a handful. Because he has military affairs in his body. They cannot remain in the land of the clan.

But he couldn't say that. Because he also knew in his heart that in order to condense all the strength of the Qing family, he had in fact been indifferent to the existence of Changfang.

"If you live well, you don't necessarily remember us, if you don't have a good life, you will come back to show off your might! Hmph, Miss Qing? If it's just an empty name, that's it. But she still wants to be a patriarch? How old is she? Not to mention comparing with the eldest young master, even Guo'er, she can't compare, right? A girl who is notorious in the capital also has the face to come back to be the patriarch of the Qing family? Aren't you afraid that the whole people will have to be disgraced with her? ”

"She is not wrong, she can dare to withdraw from the marriage without giving the emperor a son, this is ......"

"Dad, do you think those work? As long as the emperor sits on the golden dragon chair for a day, the truth will not be known, and when others point fingers at us, can you explain them one by one? Besides, in your eyes, can't the eldest young master compare to her? ”

Qing Hai was silent again. Because in his eyes, the eldest young master is his pride.

"Daddy. You blame me for being disobedient, blame me for not being filial, I am unfilial, because my only son died eight years ago, and there is no one in my house, but it doesn't mean that I will really come nonsense! The eldest brother and sister-in-law went early, but their children are dragons and phoenixes among people, especially the eldest young master, in my eyes, he is the best candidate to be the patriarch! Who am I coming out to be scolded for? Isn't it for our Qing family, don't you want the Qing family to fall on a little girl? ”

Qing Tao said that a pair of red eyes were rolling with tears, and at this time, the people around him were also excited, obviously thinking that Qing Tao was right.

"Third uncle, everyone is by your side, in the final analysis, we only believe in you and follow you, so you should send a message!" At this time, Qing Yun, who had been in the dark and did not speak, suddenly said loudly: "As long as you are willing to let the future of the Qing family be safe and stable, and you don't want the future of the Qing family to be messed up by that little girl, we all know what to do." ”

"Yes, Ancestor, you can send a message!" With one person taking the lead, the people around began to express their attitudes, not to mention that everyone responded positively, at least eighty percent adopted a concurring attitude.

People are always selfish, there is a way to be a son of heaven and a courtier, they have been in charge of all kinds of things in the Qing family for some years, at this time, who would be willing to hand over the future to a girl less than twenty, to risk the unknown future?

Therefore, everyone intentionally or unintentionally chose to lean towards the Qinghai family, which is equivalent to inadvertently shaking the persistence in Qinghai's heart.

Between the rules and his pride, he relied on the persistence of etiquette to support the choice of rules, but now, everyone's attitude makes him wonder if his insistence is wrong.

After a stick of incense, Qing Hai finally opened his mouth: "I'm tired." As he spoke, he completely threw away the rattan in his hand, and moved out with a somewhat staggering step.

Qing Tao and the others glanced at each other, and then Qing Tao knelt on the ground: "Dad!" There is still a long way to go, and you can't be confused! ”

"Yes, third uncle, you have to say something clear!" Qingyun also asked out loud.

Qing Hai looked back at them: "I'm old!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the inner hall, as if he didn't know how to express his position.

If he said that he supported the eldest young master, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal of his courtesy, but he insisted on supporting the eldest lady, and it seemed that he was a little reluctant.

So in the last case he decided to leave, and he threw this difficult choice to these people.

"This ......" Everyone saw that the ancestor was just picking on and leaving, and they all looked at each other a little helplessly, but after Qingtao and Qingyun glanced at each other, there was a hint of joy in their eyes.

I'm old, and this sounds like I'm too old to do anything.

But he is old, but the people here are not old, and if he doesn't make a choice, they can make a choice for him.

"Everyone! The ancestor is old, and he misses the old too much, so that he can't see the road ahead, and you are all people who have done their best for the clan over the years, so why don't we take a stand! Those who support the eldest young master, raise your hand! Qing Yun had already raised his hand as he spoke, and Qing Tao immediately raised his hand when he saw this: "I support the eldest young master!" ”

With two people who are already in the Qing family's status not low, how can the people present not express themselves? Those who were worried about their future naturally raised their hands one after another, and a few of them were thinking about the eldest lady's bloodline and Zhengyuan, seeing that everyone had raised their hands, if they didn't raise their hands, it would seem to be a hostile position, and after hesitating for a while, they all raised their hands.

There is a way to do the law, and the public is not to be held accountable. Let alone. Everyone has fallen in love with the young master. A few people opposed it, and they couldn't change the general trend, so at this time, everyone chose the eldest young master and abandoned the eldest lady of Zhengyuan.

"Since this is the case, then we will unite as one to keep the position of the patriarch of the Qing family for the eldest young master!" Qingyun opened his mouth excitedly: "Okay, it's not early, let's disperse first." I'll talk to the fifth brother Haosheng, and I'll discuss it with you tomorrow when I have a specific idea. ”

Speaking of this, everyone naturally retreated, and only Qingyun and Qingtao were left in the room in an instant, and Qingtao immediately looked at Qingyun: "Does Sister Yun already have an idea?" ”

"Have an idea." Qingyun said and reached out to pick up the rattan on the ground: "The only thing that the eldest lady relies on now is her identity as the daughter of the patriarch, and there is nothing else to want, and the fall of the Qing family's capital is her mother, so ......"

"I don't need to do this, but I was punished by my father to kneel in the ancestral hall......" Qing Tao immediately dissatisfied. Qingyun smiled: "It is never difficult to turn back to the first battle, fifth brother, you have taken the lead once." There is a seam in everyone's heart, and the more we talk about it later, the seam will slowly widen and eventually become a ravine. ”

Qing Tao and Qing Yun glanced at each other, and the two of them laughed, but at this time, someone outside the house said: "Report!" The Sea Dragon Kingdom sent an envoy to ask to meet the Ancestor! ”

"Sea Dragon Country?" Qing Tao immediately got up and asked, "At this time?" ”

Qingyun glanced at him, and then said outside: "Please let him in!" ”

The people outside responded and left, Qing Tao glanced at Qing Yun in surprise, but Qing Yun had a pale face: "Let's see what the so-called matter, since the third uncle is tired, we can't disturb him casually!" ”

Qing Tao nodded knowingly, and the two sat in the room and waited, and a moment later, a slightly ugly person came to the house with several large-leaf scallops threaded with fish threads.

"I am the envoy of the Sea Dragon Kingdom, and I have been sent by my prince to submit the peace agreement to the Qing family." The messenger spoke as calmly as he could, but he still looked embarrassed—there was no way, he had come through the marker, and he vomited weakly, and if it weren't for the prince's repeated explanations that he was not allowed to delay, he really wished to find a place to rest first.

He said this with difficulty, and people tried their best to suppress the disgusting, but Qing Tao and Qing Yun were startled when they heard this.

Rapprochement agreement? Could it be that what the eldest lady said is true?

Qing Tao immediately stepped forward to take it, but the messenger put the tray in his hand back: "No!" My Royal Highness has an explanation, and this thing can only be handed over to the head of the Qing family or the eldest lady of the Qing family! ”

Qing Tao's face was immediately ugly, but Qing Yun stepped forward: "My family patriarch has rested at the moment, and she can't be bothered, as for the eldest lady, she has just returned from your Sea Dragon Kingdom, and she is also very tired, so this thing can only be handed over by us!" ”

Qingyun was already standing on the edge of the tray when he spoke, his eyes swept the shell book on the plate, and he immediately saw the engraved handwriting on it clearly.

"That's it, then I'll bother me tomorrow!" When the envoy heard this, he was stubborn and wanted to wait for tomorrow, so Qingyun immediately said that the Qing family could provide a room for him to live in, and then asked his subordinates to take him out.

"See what it's written on?" As soon as the person left, Qing Yun asked with a gloomy face, and Qing Tao nodded: "See, it really says that you will not violate the border for ten years." ”

"And the reason is still to admire the demeanor of the eldest lady?" Qingyun clenched her fists with compassion: "Our eldest lady is really, so charming!" ”

"What now?" Qing Tao's brows furrowed together: "Tomorrow, as soon as this agreement is passed on, the whole clan will definitely know what Lu Dao promised, although I don't know what Lu Dao promised, but the Sea Dragon Kingdom really stopped, everyone will definitely be happy in their hearts, which is bound to praise her ability." ”

For more than a year, the Qing family has been made by the Sea Dragon Kingdom, even if it is not a mess, but it is also a little exhausted, if the other party stops, don't think about it, everyone will naturally applaud Lu.

Qing Yun glanced at Qing Tao when she heard this, but did not answer immediately, she turned around the room twice, and after looking in the direction of the inner hall for a while, she suddenly turned her head and said to Qing Tao: "You say, if the eldest lady dies unexpectedly, okay?" ”

"What?" Qing Tao's eyes widened: "But she is from our clan!" ”

"But after she came back, she threatened the eldest young master, no, the status of all of us." Qing Yun said and walked in front of Qing Tao: "If she doesn't die, with her bloodline and this peace agreement, I'm afraid that the eldest young master won't have much chance of winning." ”

"......"

"There is no clean thing behind the closing of rights." Qingyun stared at Qingtao: "To kill or not to kill, in a word." ”

Qing Tao breathed heavily and was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. (To be continued......)
