Chapter 136: The Chu Family
Chi Xiaoxiao entered the study, turned out the book she had accidentally seen some time ago, and brought it back to the bedroom with a few copies next to the book.
The study room in Tongyuan is beyond imagination, and the books are placed in an orderly manner according to the classification, and there are no less than 100 books in the category where the book is located, and if you want to read them one by one, I am afraid that a week is really not enough.
Simply Chi Xiaoxiao just wants to determine the basis and authenticity of the origin of this jade pendant, in fact, it is best to ask Shao Junyi, but this may be Chi Xiaoxiao's retreat, how can he rashly mention it to him?
The place I inadvertently turned over at the beginning, but it took a lot of effort to find it now, but Chi Xiaoxiao still saw the introduction.
It is rumored that nearly a thousand years ago, a master surnamed Chu who had been hidden for many years participated in court politics, and took his own tribe to support the three princes at that time to sit on the throne, but as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he aimed the spearhead at the master, and the master who worshiped the emperor at that time was disheartened, and killed himself in front of the emperor and the ministers, in exchange for the peace of his own tribe.
Even if they survived, they were exiled to an island and were not allowed to come out for generations.
After a long time, this tribe has its own faction, and its life is impressive, but after the reform and opening up, the state wants to subdue the people on this land, but it has found problems.
After thousands of years of recuperation, this family has weapons and medical power that are not inferior to the outside world, and what is even more terrifying is that this family has been inheriting the witchcraft left by their ancestors for thousands of years, and the invaders who stepped into the island were half wiped out before the war started, and the rest of the people wanted to continue to move forward, so advanced weapons were aimed at them every minute and ready to attack, this battle could not be fought at all!
In recent years, nuclear weapons have been developed, and the country's leaders have moved their minds again, since there is such a big hidden danger, it is better to pass with a nuclear bomb, and it will be a hundred?
However, before this plan could be further implemented, various countries came out to stop it, and every one of the people on that island was a medical genius, and if it was cultivated, it could accelerate the world's medical level by more than 30 years!
What a remarkable thing this is, as a last resort, the leaders of the country decided to keep this huge family, and signed a treaty, the state will not touch them, but in the same way, they cannot use their own strength to do things that harm society.
There are many items, and they are not introduced in the book, but the family has become independent in full view of everyone, and rarely goes out except for sending a few people to various countries for academic exchanges from time to time.
What is particularly emphasized in the book is that this mysterious and ancient family has a token, which is kept by each generation of patriarchs, which is a symbol of status, and this token can even replace the patriarch and can also be in charge of anything in the clan.
The description of the token is exactly the same as the jade pendant that Chi Xiaoxiao is holding in his hand, and the method of verifying the authenticity is also very simple, Chi Xiaoxiao put the jade pendant under the light according to the book, and flipped it, a magnificent and atmospheric picture of the ancient city was reflected on the table, although it was just a shadow, but the pattern was vivid, lifelike, and the image seemed to flow in front of him, deducing the ancient family that was very prosperous.
This is the way to examine the patriarch's token.
Chi Xiaoxiao really didn't know how to feel this time, she always inadvertently annoyed herself, it was easy to send away a Murong Lingtian, and she had to throw herself into another dangerous situation, she had no choice, didn't she?
However, Chi Xiaoxiao finally understood why Ah Tong was hunted down.
That Ah Tong should be a member of the Chu clan, and his status is not trivial, if he is not the future head of the inheritance family, then it is very likely to be the side that betrayed the family.
Hitomi is just a child, should he ......
Chi Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning, could she really run away smoothly?
continued to flip through that book, and the more I read it, the more I felt that the Chu family was a magical existence. If it's used as a hiding place, it's really not that easy to find.
Just when she was at a loss, the phone rang, and when she looked at it, Chi Xiaoxiao was surprised.
"How did you remember to call me?" Chi Xiaoxiao suspiciously confirmed the number repeatedly before answering it cautiously. "Aren't you supposed to be so busy and dizzy that you're lacking in skills?"
The call was made by Murong Lingtian, and he was indeed busy dealing with internal and external troubles, and when he was in a hurry, news came from Weir Manor, saying that he had caught an Asian child nearby, claiming to be Chi Xiaoxiao's friend, and as a last resort, Murong Lingtian called over.
Chi Xiaoxiao was surprised when she heard this, and she had a trace of uncertainty in her heart.
I heard Murong Ling Tian say again: "I have already sent you the photo of this little ghost, you can see if it is really an acquaintance." ”
Only then did Chi Xiaoxiao notice that she was just staring at the book in a daze, and she didn't pay attention to the message sent by Murong Ling Tian.
The photo confirms Chi Xiaoxiao's conjecture, who is the skinny little girl above?
Seeing that Ah Tong pouted and was extremely uncooperative, he knew that Murong Lingtian's subordinates were not very polite to Ah Tong, and Chi Xiaoxiao couldn't help but soften her heart for a while: "Such a little child, you can't bear to be rough with her!" ”
Murong Ling Tian smiled and asked lazily, "It seems that you really know her?" ”
Chi Xiaoxiao didn't deny it, and asked directly: "Where is she?" I'm going to video call her alone! ”
Murong Lingtian's efficiency was very fast, and he was ready to leave a room in a short time, and Atong's restless little face appeared in the video, fortunately, except for the fact that he lost a little weight and darkened a little as he saw last time, this child was not harmed.
"Sister......" Ah Hitomi looked left and right, and found that no one was really looking at her before she cautiously asked, "Is the pendant still there?" ”
Chi Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just dangled the jade pendant in front of the video.
Ah Tong exhaled as if relieved, if the appearance of a young man and an old man was placed in normal times, Chi Xiaoxiao would definitely want to smile, but now, looking at Ah Tong's extremely solemn gaze, Chi Xiaoxiao knew that something was wrong with her.
"Hitomi, how did you get caught? Didn't it go well last time you sneaked into the manor? ”
Ah Tong hesitated for a moment and replied honestly: "Sister, I treat you as my own, so I won't hide these things from you." Something happened in my family, I had to give you the pendant, and now things are getting worse at home, those bad people make a fuss about the pendant, my father has no pendant, and the power is not as good as before, and even I don't have a few people who can use it. ”
Really!
Chi Xiaoxiao guessed the situation of Atong's family after reading the introduction of the Chu family. Such a huge and ancient family really doesn't worry about any external invasion, but once the internal discord occurs, it will be a terrible thing.
"This pendant is so important, do you want to give it back to you?" Chi Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate to speak, but she was even more overwhelmed in her heart, there was such a big thing in the Chu family, and she couldn't take care of herself, how could she take care of her again?
It seems that this retreat is not working!
When I was hesitating and didn't know what to do, I suddenly heard Hitomi ask cautiously, "Sister, can I ask you for a favor?" ”
Ji Xiaoxiao blinked, how could she help? This girl doesn't want her to get involved in their family's internal conflicts, right? Chi Xiaoxiao hurriedly spoke: "Girl! It's hard for this clean official to cut off family affairs! Don't expect me to do anything for you! ”
How do you know that Ah Hitomi, who looks strong, suddenly has red eyes, and choked up with great grievance: "But Ah Hitomi only has a sister who can entrust him, you look at Ah Hitomi, there is no one available, there is no way to even see you, if it weren't for the power of the silver scorpion, maybe Ah Hitomi would not be able to see his sister when he died......"
Ouch hey! Chi Xiaoxiao, who has always eaten soft and not hard, was successfully tricked by Hitomi's tear offensive! Ah Tong didn't shed tears at all, just having a pair of red eyes and trying to restrain herself from letting the tears flow out was enough to make Chi Xiaoxiao feel distressed, as if she had done something rebellious.
Chi Xiaoxiao hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry...... you don't cry" Chi Xiaoxiao glanced at the time, estimated that Shao Junyi should also come back, and hurriedly said: "It's not convenient for me to speak now, you are like this, let Murong Lingtian take you Liuzhou, call me when you arrive, I'll pick you up, let's meet and talk about it, okay?" ”
"Sister, are you going to help me?" Hitomi looked pleasantly surprised.
Chi Xiaoxiao was remorseful but helpless, she was selfish, maybe the Chu family would be her hiding place, in short, she had to find out what happened to the Chu family first.
Murong Lingtian quickly appeared in the video, his blonde hair was still so swaggering, and when he saw him this time, he obviously felt his maturity.
"I didn't think you would have so much nosy?" Murong Lingtian said quippedly.
"Huh!" Ji Xiaoxiao sneered back. "If I hadn't been nosy, would it be your turn to jump in front of me?"
Murong Lingtian touched his nose weakly. "If you marry that fucker, remember to tell me, and I'll give you a dowry. As for the wedding, I won't go, I really can't look down on that fucker! ”
Listening to Murong Ling Tian's unruly instructions, Chi Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened, and she scolded back with a light smile: "You are the one who gets out!" Remember to have a generous dowry! ”
Hanging up the phone, Chi Xiaoxiao was so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry, but she was not strong enough, not strong enough to stand by Shao Junyi's side, and not qualified to be his wife......
Chi Xiaoxiao can't escape Shao Junyi's eyes if she has a little bit on her mind. At the dining table, the absent-minded Chi Xiaoxiao was so abnormal that even the servants who were waiting on the side could see that something was wrong.
"Xiaoxiao?" Shao Junyi elegantly put down his chopsticks and looked at Chi Xiaoxiao for a moment.
Chi Xiaoxiao raised her head consciously, and looked at Shao Junyi with scrutiny, and was suddenly a little annoyed, she has never revealed her emotions too much, especially after meeting Shao Junyi, because he knew too much about herself, so she tried harder to hide, but today, all kinds of things piled up, so that she couldn't restrain her emotions.
Shao Junyi calmly wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and he still pretended to be calm and asked, "Have you remembered everything?" ”
