Chapter 385: Eight Families Gather
Hum! Don't think he doesn't know what these people are thinking, but this time, they made a mistake! If this poisoning incident is really too big to be contained, he will not be the only one to blame the head of the family! These elders of the Yao family, none of them want to run away!
Thinking like this, Elder Yao Jiu slowly calmed down.
But seeing him like this, it was the turn of the Yao family elder to worry about it.
Since the last time he was defeated in the Yao family's building, the Yao family lost a lot of money, and his status in the eyes of the head of the family has plummeted, although he still occupies the pit of the great elder of the Yao family, but obviously, the weight of his words in the Yao family is no longer as effective as this ninth brother!
This fact made him extremely depressed, but he couldn't find any opportunity to show his shame, so he could only watch the ninth elder of the Yao family become a celebrity in the eyes of the head of the family! And this poisoning incident of the four clans seemed to let him see the dawn, but now, after listening to the words of the ninth elder of the Yao family, he deeply felt that it was not so easy for him to get enough benefits in this poisoning incident.
After thinking about it, the sorrow on the face of the great elder of the Yao family deepened, and he sighed heavily before he said: "Ninth brother, this matter happened too suddenly, and we are also anxious, but we have discussed it for a long time, and we can't think of any good way, the key is, will the four families who were poisoned easily give up?" ”
"So I think that what we are discussing here is actually not very meaningful, it mainly depends on how the four families plan, so I suggest that we first see what they mean!" After a pause, the Great Elder of the Yao Family continued.
The words of the Great Elder of the Yao Family made all the elders nod frequently, and seeing this scene, the Great Elder couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said in his heart, look! Jiang is still old and spicy, and the ninth brother is too young after all! I only think about solving the problem, but I can't think of the essence of the problem. In his opinion, it is impossible for those four families to let go of such an opportunity, and maybe they will slaughter their Yao family! He is too experienced in this!
Because he has done that little in the past, of course, he has not been treated like that less, and what impressed him the most was Uncle Long's people!
Thinking of Uncle Long and the others, he still gritted his teeth with hatred.
Originally, with the help of Leng Ruoxue's incident, he thought that he had the opportunity to avenge the last prisoner, but he didn't expect that it was the Yao family who had the accident first, which caught him off guard! As soon as this incident came out, it obviously cast a shadow on the meeting between the eight of them.
Alas! The other three haven't arrived yet! If they heard about it after they came, I wonder how they would react? Thinking of this, the Great Elder of the Yao Family was really worried, and he didn't just want to see the jokes of the Nine Elders, after all, this was related to the reputation of the Yao Family!
After listening to the words of the Great Elder of the Yao Family, Elder Yao Jiu asked with some uncertainty, "What does the Great Elder mean, let's not move first?" ”
"That's right! If the enemy doesn't move, we won't move, let's wait and see what those people's reactions are saying next, after all, this kind of thing, the one who comes out first will definitely be the loser! The Great Elder of the Yao Family said with a shrewd face.
"However, they were poisoned in our Yao family, so we can't ignore them, right?" Although Elder Yao Jiu also felt that there was some truth in the Great Elder's words, he did not completely agree with it.
"No one left you alone! Proper care is still necessary! It's just that our Yao family can't loosen their mouths first, and we can't first propose how to deal with the aftermath, the condition is to let them mention it first, and then we are discussing! We need to know at least what they mean so we don't get too passive! The Great Elder of the Yao Family came up with an idea.
"That's... All right! Elder Yao Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, seeing this, the Great Elder of the Yao family was proud!
At the same time, I feel that my voice is much heavier.
What he didn't know was that the nine elders of the Yao family would not do everything he wanted at all, because as soon as the meeting ended, Elder Yao Jiu immediately went to see the head of the family, and conveyed the meaning of the elder meeting to his ancestors, after hearing this, the head of the Yao family pondered for a long time before nodding and repeatedly telling that the other three families should not be afraid, mainly because of the attitude of the Ning family!
With the approval of the head of the family, Elder Yao Jiu was full of confidence in his heart, and every day, in addition to visiting the poisoned people of the four families as usual, he never said anything about the aftermath.
After a long time, the Cheng family, the Yin family, and the Lu family also felt that something was wrong. However, because they were all led by elders, they couldn't do many things at all, so the three families privately sent an elder to meet the head of the Ning family.
In fact, after the poisoning incident, the other three families also sent people to the Ningjia Guest House to express their condolences, but at that time, they didn't talk much about it, in order to avoid suspicion, lest the Yao family think that the four of them were united, and it would be even more difficult to end at that time, but now, they can't care about it so much!
The three families have already sent the news back to the family, and before the head of the family arrives, they can only look at the head of the Ning family! And this is also forced by the attitude of the Yao family, at least, the leading elders of the three families all think so.
The head of the Ning family met them in the living room, and asked about the poisoned person very cordially and actively, and the three elders also answered truthfully, but what made them depressed was that whenever they mentioned the attitude of the Yao family, the head of the Ning family deliberately diverted the topic, and they didn't lean on it at all.
The first time I interviewed this matter, it ended in failure!
And in this situation, the ninth elder of the Yao family naturally received the news immediately, but immediately, he was also confused.
What does the head of the Ning family mean?
If it was him, and the other three families took the initiative to come to the door, he would be very happy, but now the performance of the head of the Ning family made him puzzled.
Subsequently, he informed the head of the family of this situation, and the head of the Yao family heard it and immediately decided that the Ning family was taking Qiao! I wanted to take advantage of this matter to make the other three families stand on the side of the Ning family.
Thinking of this, he immediately instructed the Nine Elders that they must not let the four families reach some kind of agreement, and they must destroy the alliance of their four clans, otherwise, it will be detrimental to the meeting of the eight clans this time.
Elder Yao Jiu listened to the analysis of his own family master, and immediately became nervous, and then, he went to meet the Cheng family, the Yin family, and the Lu family's leading elder non-stop.
Because of an unsuccessful meeting between the four major gods, the Yao family instantly paid attention to it, and it seemed to be in a position like a great enemy, which made the head of the Ning family who learned the news afterwards smile without any image at all!
Sitting in the garden of the portable house, everyone looked at the head of the Ning family who was smiling and rolling on the ground with black lines, and they didn't know what to say!
Don't be so exaggerated!
Isn't it that the Yao family attaches importance to the other three? However, the Yao family only didn't come to see the head of the Ning family because of this matter, shouldn't he be sad and cry? How can you still laugh so happily? Everyone was puzzled.
zuihou, they just thought that the head of the Ning family might be angry! Because he was so angry, he behaved abnormally.
Yes! Definitely.
Having come to such a conclusion, their eyes towards the head of the Ning family became full of sympathy, and even Uncle Lian, who had been tortured a few days ago, forgot his pain in those days and took pity on the head of the Ning family.
Smiling and smiling, the head of the Ning family, who realized it later, felt that something was wrong.
"What kind of eyes are you looking at? Why are you looking at me like that? The head of the Ning family made everyone's infinitely sympathetic gaze a little hairy, and his heart became uncomfortable.
"Family master, this is not a big deal, don't take it to heart!" As the direct descendant of the head of the Ning family, the Seventh Elder was the first to persuade without hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder and the others also persuaded him.
"You think I'm sad?" After listening to everyone's words, the head of the Ning family was a little speechless! He was obviously laughing, where did these people tell that they were unhappy?
"Godfather, they think you are making fun of suffering and forcing a smile!" Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile, only she knew that her godfather was really happy, probably because she thought that the old man of the Yao family was pleasing him!
"How is that possible! I really think it's interesting, the old man of the Yao family is actually self-righteous and afraid that the four of us will wear the same pair of pants, because this matter will unite to calculate him, hum! He can't help but look down on himself too much, he really wants to calculate him, do we still need to deliberately unite? The head of the Ning family said with a disdainful expression.
In fact, the reason why he ignored the three families last time was completely for the Yao family to see, but unfortunately, it made the Yao family misunderstand even more, I can't help but say that this was purely an accident!
"Ugh!" After listening to the words of the head of the Ning family, everyone who would be wrong suddenly felt embarrassed.
The Great Elder also deliberately cleared his throat for this, and said: "Old Man Ning, what are you planning to do about this matter, and give us a thorough understanding, I don't want to keep pretending to be sick like this, the Yao family comes and goes, I'm afraid of gangs!" ”
"Wear a fart gang, you are really poisoned, but it is relatively light, you are pretending, who will doubt you!" Listening to the words of the Great Elder, the head of the Ning family scolded with a smile.
"Yes, girl, I don't hurt at all now, wouldn't it be like that?" After the Great Elder nodded, he asked Leng Ruoxue again.
"Don't worry, your face is ugly now, as long as you have a little common sense, you know that you are sick! Of course, if you want to be like Uncle Lian and Dongfang Yue, I can also satisfy you. Leng Ruoxue said with a wicked smile, hearing this, not only did the Great Elder's face immediately change, but Dongfang Yue and Uncle Lian's faces also darkened instantly.
If Leng Ruoxue didn't mention this, Dongfang Yue and Uncle Lian almost forgot the pain they had at the beginning, but now, Leng Ruoxue reminded them of it again.
This girl must have done it on purpose! Woo... What a hateful bad girl.
Dongfang Yue and Uncle Lian looked at Leng Ruoxue's gaze, which is called a grudge! However, it was ignored by Leng Ruoxue Hongguoguo!
Suddenly, Leng Ruoxue said: "Someone is coming!" ”
In the next second, everyone had already returned to their rooms, of course, the person in charge of the transportation work was not the second person who thought about it.
The person who came to visit was the Yao family's chief Dan Master Zong Yun, and after hearing the attendant's report, the head of the Ning family immediately walked out of the room and welcomed Zong Yun to the living room.
Recently, Zong Yun has become a frequent visitor to the Ning family, even if he doesn't come up with a way to treat Leng Ruoxue and the others, he will often come over to see their situation, of course, mainly to see if these people's poison has deteriorated or something! came and went, and he and the head of the Ning family also became friends for the year!
Seeing Zong Yun, the head of the Ning family was as enthusiastic as ever, and Zong Yun also got great satisfaction from the head of the Ning family, at least in his heart! After all, as a Dan Master, the greatest glory is to hope to be respected by others, especially to be respected by a big person like the head of the Ning family who is at the top of the Divine Venerable, for them, it can be regarded as the highest achievement!
The two chatted in the living room, and somehow, they talked about the nine elders of the Yao family, and when it came to the nine elders, Zong Yun looked around nervously, and then cautiously said to the head of the Ning family: "Master of the Ning family, I just want to gossip with you, the nine elders have been anxious and miserable recently because of the affairs of the Cheng family, the Yin family and the Lu family!" ”
Of course, Zong Yun's words did not mean to sympathize with Elder Yao Jiu, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in them.
"Huh?" Hearing Zong Yun's words, the head of the Ning family really put on an interested expression, and looked at Zong Yun expectantly, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, it seems that everyone loves gossip! Even the always high Danshi is not exempt from vulgarity!
The expression of the head of the Ning family made Zong Yun's heart feel as if it was full of electricity. If he didn't gossip, he would feel sorry for the head of the Ning family who was full of expectations.
Then, Zong Yun whispered to the head of the Ning family: "Master Ning, Elder Yao Jiu went to the elders of the three families in private two days ago, and promised them certain conditions, only one is to keep them secret, but the three families not only kept this secret, but even exchanged information, and the three families had a pair of certificates, only to find out that the conditions given to them by the Yao family were actually divided into three, six, nine and so on, so the three families were making trouble at this time!" Now Elder Yao Jiu is flawless! ”
"And that kind of thing?" When the head of the Ning family heard this, his eyes widened in shock, as if he had heard the Arabian Nights, in fact, he had known about this for a long time.
"Well, Master Ning, I'm telling you this, it's also because we have a good relationship, I know that the Ninth Elder hasn't come to you yet, so I want you to be prepared in advance, so as not to fall into their Yao family's belief!" Zong Yun said with a worried face, and then he was afraid that his words would make the head of the Ning family misunderstand, thinking that he was eating inside and out, and added: "I tell you that I don't mean anything else, I just think that the Yao family is a little unauthentic, although they are now my food and clothing parents, but I also have a conscience, so I don't want to hide it from you when I know it, otherwise, I am worthy of being your friend!" ”
Zong Yun said this with some sincerity.
When the head of the Ning family heard this, he said that he understood, and implicitly said that if Zong Yun was unhappy in the Yao family, he could come to the Ning family!
When Zong Yun heard this, he was naturally very happy. However, he also said that he has no plans to leave the Yao family at present, after all, he is also a reputable person, although many people in the Yao family hate it, but the head of the Yao family is still not thin on him! When the head of the Ning family heard this, he also showed his appreciation for him, and the two chatted more speculatively.
At this moment, another attendant came to report, saying that the elders of the Cheng family, the Yin family, and the Lu family had come again.
Hearing this, Zong Yun immediately chose to leave, and the head of the Ning family didn't keep too much, but as soon as Zong Yun left, the face of the head of the Ning family immediately stiffened, and the elders of the three families, as soon as they entered the living room, they saw the head of the Ning family with a cold face, staring at them with unkind eyes, and suddenly, the three elders felt tight, and they didn't know how to speak.
Long.
The three elders who were stared at by the head of the Ning family's gloomy gaze stood on end, and the cold sweat flowed wildly, and he almost knelt down for him, zuihou, or the head of the Ning family was kind, withdrew his gaze from staring at them, and asked lightly: "Is there something wrong with the three elders?" ”
"Master Ning, you must call the shots for us this time! You and my ancestors are friends, our ancestors are not here, you are our backbone, so you have to support us! An elder of the Cheng family, after reacting, said with a handful of snot and tears.
When the other two elders heard this, they quickly agreed.
When the head of the Ning family heard the words of the three of them, he said inexplicably: "I don't know what the three elders want me to support you?" As far as I know, the heads of your three families should be almost there, right? ”
"It will take a few days for the head of the family to arrive, so the head of the Ning family, we can rely on you now!" An elder of the Cheng family hurriedly said.
These words made the head of the Ning family laugh.
"You only said that I would support you, and you didn't say anything, I can't help you!" The head of the Ning family reminded.
"The Yao family is really too deceitful! It's like this..."The Cheng family elder was filled with righteous indignation, and then, he told Elder Yao Jiu how he found them, and told them in detail, and they didn't forget to add, they thought that the Yao family had already found the head of the Ning family, and later found out that Elder Yao Jiu had only found the three of them.
"Alas! Should I say you're stupid, or should I say you're too simple? After listening to the words of the Cheng family elder, the head of the Ning family couldn't help but sigh.
"Ugh!" The words of the head of the Ning family made the three elders speechless, because these two adjectives didn't seem to be very good, and the meaning was similar, so they didn't want to hear any of them, but with the current situation, it seemed that they couldn't take off this stupid or simple hat.
Then, the three elders heard the head of the Ning family continue: "The Yao family is famous for its snobbery, although everyone is the same as the Eight Great Divine Domains, but in the eyes of the Yao family, the status of our eight families is definitely different!" Like this time, the Yao family weishenme found you first? Don't they think you're easy to deal with? I'm afraid that if you listen to me, they will make their Yao family bleed profusely, alas! As the saying goes, persimmons are soft and pinched! That's how you stand in their hearts! ”
"As for our Ning family, if we don't settle you first, he won't take the initiative to find me, but I'm not in a hurry, anyway, the Yao family doesn't dare to kick our Ning family out, otherwise, I'll be over with them!" After saying this, the momentum of the head of the Ning family immediately increased, and he almost scared the three elders to the ground.
The words of the head of the Ning family are very sharp, and they also make people feel a little uncomfortable, but the elders of the three families can't deny that they are telling the truth, in the hearts of the head of the Yao family, the heads of the other six families are indeed not as heavy as the heads of the Ning family, this is an indisputable fact, as for them, the elders, I am afraid that they have no weight!
Alas! O head of the house! When will your old man arrive! Thinking of this, the three elders couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and at the same time, they were also thinking, if the head of the family was here, no matter what the Yao family was, they wouldn't be able to treat the head of the family like they did! What's more, when the head of the family comes, he can directly get an idea, but they can't! Otherwise, how could they be so enduring!
In fact, the heads of the Cheng family, the Yin family, and the Lu family have not yet arrived, in addition to the distance is a little far, but also because the heads of the three families actually met by chance halfway, and after the meeting, they naturally had to talk about this matter in detail, so it took some time.
As a result, the elders of the Cheng family, the Yin family, and the Lu family were all a little anxious when they waited. Otherwise, they would not have found the head of the Ning family again and again, but the head of the Ning family, Zuihou, could only tell them that before their head of the family came, they should not promise the Yao family anything, and if the Yao family asked, they would all reply with four words: 'No comment!' ’
The three elders were very obedient, and when the ninth elder of the Yao family wanted to talk to them again, he really told the ninth elder Yao directly, "Everything is waiting for their family master to come, and they have nothing to say!" ’
This fact made the ninth elder of the Yao family quite mad.
And three days later, the three elders who had been looking forward to it finally waited for their own head of the family.
Coincidentally, the heads of the Chi family, the Fan family, and the Yu family actually arrived at the Yao family at the same time.
Seeing this lineup, Elder Yao Jiu, who was in charge of the reception, suddenly had a big head!
Originally, he thought that he could settle the poisoning before the arrival of the other three families, but now, it is obviously unlikely, perhaps, the poisoning incident a few days ago will rise to the height of the meeting of the eight clans, and become a topic that must be discussed between the eight clans, if this is the case, the Yao family is afraid that they will face the collective blame of the other seven families!
This is definitely the worst situation for Elder Yao Jiu, and it is also the one he least wants to happen, so after thinking about it and asking for the permission of the head of the family, he arranged the guest houses of the Chi family, the Fan family and the Yu family to the west of the main house of the Yao family, and the residence of the other four families is in the east.
The ninth elder of the Yao family, who was quite proud of his creativity, did not know that his excessive behavior made the heads of the other seven families laugh.
In fact, if they want to chat, where can they use such trouble, and they deliberately go to other people's residences, have the Yao family forgotten that there is a tool in the world, called the sound transmission jade plate? Of course, direct sound transmission is also possible, which is not difficult for the gods, but the words of sound transmission will consume divine power, unless the matter is urgent, they will rarely use it.
In this way, the seven heads of the family simply communicated through the sound transmission jade plate, and the two heads of the Cheng family and the Yin family, who were more related, lived directly to the head of the Ning family, and the head of the Lu family, who was sick with them, did not want to be isolated, so they also came to the door from time to time to disturb.
In the face of all this, Elder Yao Jiu felt powerless! Because he can't stop it at all!
In the living room of the Ningjia guest house.
Before the head of the Cheng family was hot, he asked about Leng Ruoxue's situation in front of the housekeeper of the guest house who had not yet left.
"Why didn't that girl come with you, I miss her dishes so much!" The head of the Cheng family said expectantly.
"Me too!" Glancing at the housekeeper who looked constipated, the head of the Yin family also agreed.
"In extraordinary times, eventful times, how dare I bring Xue'er here, if she really comes, the Yao family will not be able to eat her? I'm also afraid that you will work together to kill my goddaughter and go to Wulian to receive the reward! The head of the Ning family glanced at the two people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the head of the Lu family was already in a cold sweat, and the housekeeper of the guest house, who wanted to leave but found that his legs were weak, was already shaking like a fallen leaf, and he was crumbling! He regretted it so much, why didn't he leave immediately just now, but he heard such a thing, woo... He won't be killed by the Ning family master, right? He couldn't help but make up his brain!
Of course, the head of the Ning family didn't know what he thought, otherwise, he would definitely tell him that he was thinking too much! If you want to extinguish your mouth, it's not his little butler who will extinguish!
“haha! How could it! I don't dare to mess with that girl! Hearing this, the only two who did not change their colors were the head of the Cheng family and the head of the Yin family.
Anyway, these two people are willing to come here, in addition to the fact that someone in the family is poisoned, which makes them smell a trace of unusual breath, in addition, the two also feel that they may be able to meet the little girl when they come here, so the two of them put down everything they have at hand and ran over.
Hearing that the little girl didn't come, the two of them were quite disappointed! But they would never think that this was a sign of the little girl's fear!
"You are wise!" After a deliberate pause, the head of the Ning family said with a smug smile.
Seeing him like this, the head of the Cheng family and the head of the Yin family really wanted to beat him, should they be so proud! It's so hateful!
Not wanting to see the old man of the Ning family continue to be proud, the head of the Cheng family changed the topic and said, "By the way, what are your plans for the poisoning incident?" You might as well speak it out and listen to it, and we can also synthesize our opinions, and then tell Old Man Yao. ”
"Old man Yao is afraid that we will be like this, and you dare to discuss this matter with us blatantly!" The head of the Ning family said with a smile.
"What? He's afraid we'll not talk about it? Who does he think he is! The head of the Cheng family said with a look of contempt, hearing his words, a certain housekeeper wanted to faint directly, otherwise, he was afraid that his heart would not be able to bear it, woo... The person they are discussing now is their own ancestor! Does he listen, or does he not listen? Obviously, people didn't intend to avoid him at all!
A certain housekeeper is very entangled.
However, the head of the Cheng family obviously didn't take him seriously, and continued to add to the vinegar: "I have decided, if the Yao family does not give us a satisfactory explanation this time, my Cheng family will be the first to give up if it is not good!" ”
