Chapter 258: Secret Treasure
Before wanting to enter the villa, Meng Que had to make a preparation in advance, that is, he had to observe whether there were any secret whistles on this villa. If anything, the invasion will undoubtedly be one or two times harder.
It is said that the grandfather invaded from the back of the villa, and although the back was not as flat as the front, it was not as difficult as there. Since even Grandpa ignored these difficulties, Meng Que, as the only descendant of the Meng clan who was better than the blue, naturally couldn't be frightened back by these difficulties.
After quietly watching for a while, although Meng Que's eyesight was not particularly strong, after the induction of the power of dragon blood, he was sure that the villa in front of him did not have half a dark whistle in other dark corners except for the people inside.
Therefore, I was also a little relieved. Taking a deep breath, he sneaked out of the darkness, and when he reached the range of the searchlight, his hands on the ground and his body slightly arched, looking like a hungry cheetah about to pounce.
Count silently in your heart, counting from one to seven, repeating it over and over again. Every time he counted to the fifth second, Meng Que would mentally demonstrate the action of rushing out, and then judge from the speed and arc of the action whether he could smoothly pass through the blind corner of the searchlight. This kind of mental demonstration is actually the same as "simulated driving", through many mental calculations, after summarizing, and then finding the most suitable and smoothest jumping posture and jumping route.
After silently counting the seventh time, Meng Que finally thought of a most suitable jumping posture. He immediately took a sharp breath, and then when he reached "five" for the eighth time, his slightly bowed body suddenly rushed towards the "X" intersection of the two searchlights like an arrow from the string. At that time, he had already used the power of the Meng family's dragon blood, and his short-distance rush speed was comparable to lightning.
After jumping over, Meng Que quickly found a pickup truck as a cover, hid behind it, and exhaled a long breath. The speed and arc of the leap just now, he was confident that he must not have been detected by either of the two searchlights.
At this time, I don't know if my grandfather has successfully passed the searchlight to the left side of the villa, and as soon as he got close to the villa, Meng Que vaguely heard intermittent talking from inside. It was noisy, arguing, or shouting, no matter how it sounded, the atmosphere inside always seemed not very harmonious.
Could it be that those seven people just quarreled over something? Meng Que thought thoughtfully, while thinking, he swam past the car, his footsteps were as light as a wild cat, and he jumped without a trace from the iron fork anti-theft net outside the villa, and then landed gently, and a perfect lazy donkey rolled under the window edge of the first floor of the villa.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Que staged his very good "Gecko Wall Swimming Skill". Hands and feet are crawling on the outer wall of the villa, as if the hands and feet have suction cups, as long as you grab the wall is like a monkey grabbing a branch, how stable you want to be, from a straight point of view, the current Meng Que has almost ignored gravity.
Swimming on the wall like a gecko, Meng Que gently climbed from the first floor to the third floor, quietly listening to the sound coming from the villa.
At this time, he heard a cold voice snorting coldly and said: "Third brother, it is said that 'that thing' is the treasure of my Murong family, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. But it has always only been passed on to the eldest son, which is too partial, right? It's no longer the old Chinese society, who cares if he's the eldest son or not? As long as there is talent, anyone can lead the big family of the Murong family, don't you say? β
Hearing this, Meng Que's arm that was about to climb retracted again, and he lay quietly on the wall, simply sticking his ear to the wall.
After a while, a slightly deep voice sighed: "There is no way, although it is a new society now, but those old guys in the family are old-fashioned people, and if you want them to change the previous rules, it is simply harder than drying up the waters of the Pacific Ocean." β
Listening to the sound inside, it seemed to come from a living room on the third floor next door, and when he heard "that thing" again, Meng Que's heart couldn't help but be nervous and curious. Grandpa mentioned "that thing", and now some of them have mentioned it, what is "that thing"?
But the person who spoke at the beginning continued: "Third brother, we can't continue like this, if we continue like this, we will definitely be crushed by the eldest son." If we want to resist, we have to resist at this time, if we don't resist now, when the eldest son takes over the power of the Murong family, we will have no drama to sing. β
"Huh, revolt? Tell me, how do you resist? The "third brother", whose voice was slightly deeper, heard the words of the brothers, and unconsciously moved his heart slightly, and asked with interest.
The person who spoke first sneered and said, "Isn't this simple? This time, the elder asked us to give the brocade box passed down from generation to generation of Murong to the eldest son in Chicago, USA, this brocade box passed down from generation to generation has never known what is inside, this opportunity was touched by us, why don't we open the brocade box first to see what is inside? β
Hearing the mysterious "brocade box", Meng Que's spirit was lifted, and he unconsciously pricked up his ears and listened to them more carefully. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the 'thing' they mentioned before refers to the mysterious brocade box?" β
But the person who listened to the "third brother" smacked his lips and denied: "No, this task was given to us by the elder himself, if we open the brocade box without authorization and they know about it, it will be bad." violated the family rules of the Murong family, not only can he not hold the throne, but he can't be counted as a member of the Murong family's internal faction for the rest of his life, we can't take such a risk! β
The person who spoke first said "eh" and persuaded: "Third brother, why are you so pedantic? Conformism will only allow us to maintain our current hierarchical status, and as the heirs of the four great families, you should also know that the rise of any dynasty is based on the demise of the old dynasty. If we want to break the tradition of the eldest son's succession, if we don't do it, who can do it? β
When the third brother heard this, he groaned.
Meng Que listened quietly to the conversation between them, and at this moment, he almost knew what they were talking about. The quarrel between them before was nothing more than to express dissatisfaction with the decision of the elder of the Murong clan to order the brocade box to be sent to Chicago to give the eldest son this time.
And in the follow-up, some people instigated the "third brother" to rebel against the clan rules, but it was a reaction that was amplified by disobedience. As the saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and any big family and large enterprise will have some inheritance and rights disputes. This kind of thing has never happened since ancient times, and it has almost never been broken.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Tang Taizong angrily killed his brother and took the throne. This was the case for the ancients, not to mention the modern society of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
While listening, Meng Que secretly suppressed his breathing, trying to make his breathing speed as slow as possible, so as to prevent being discovered by the seven Murong family members in the villa. At the same time, he slowly climbed towards the place where they spoke, for the seven people in the villa, Meng Que naturally did not have the confidence to be able to handle them, and it was difficult for any of the three masters of the "mountain" character generation among the seven people to handle it.
The reason why they still have to go forward in the face of difficulties is because of the strong curiosity about the mysterious brocade box that they mentioned.
After a while, the third brother who had been groaning quietly sighed, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay, just look at it, anyway, the eldest son Murong Shanzheng, who is far away in Chicago, doesn't know what is in it!" However, this can only be known to the seven of us who are here today, and only God knows. In case the elders learn about this, the seven of us will have to bear it together, will you agree? β
The other six people present seemed to have been waiting for the third brother's words for a long time, and as soon as they heard him say this, the other six immediately shouted "yes" in unison excitedly.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded. Then the third brother's voice floated out softly, and said, "Come, you come and see, let's open the brocade box now and take a look." β
As soon as Meng Que heard that they were going to open the brocade box, he was very interested, and excitedly accelerated the speed of climbing, gently and quietly climbed on the top edge of the window outside the living room on the third floor, and lowered half of his head to peek in. The beating heart of the wild, at this moment, the beating speed increased tenfold, "plop plop ......" It seems that every beating of the heart affects the thinking nerves in Meng Que's brainββ......
