Chapter 70: Situ Mo
Situ Hongpeng stood in front of Situ Yan, looking at Lan Kuan's eyes full of hostility, "What do you want to do?"
Situ Yan waved his hand, "Let him come over." ”
"But, father. Situ Hongpeng was still a little worried, for fear that this person from the Lan family would be unfavorable to Situ Yan, but between the latter's orders, he still gave way.
Lan Kuan walked straight to the throne, and suddenly knelt on one knee, his left fist in front of his chest, in a posture of surrender.
"The head of the house. ”
What the!?
Situ Hongpeng's eyes widened in surprise, Lan Haotian's personal guard, actually called the leader of the Situ family to be the master!?
Situ Hongpeng couldn't help but ask, "Father, is he a mutiny?"
Situ Yan shook his head, "It's not so much a mutiny, it's more appropriate to say that an undercover agent, he was originally a member of our Situ family." ”
More than 30 years ago, in the cold winter of the lunar month, the heavy snow drifted and the snow was piled up, and when the servants of the Lan family went out to clear the snow, they found a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes blocking the threshold, with a pale face and cold skin.
At that time, the head of the family was Lan Haotian's father, and he was also the previous city lord of Yushui City, the old city lord was kind-hearted, even if he was an orphan who had nothing to do with it, he couldn't bear to watch him freeze to death in the university like this, so he adopted him to the Lan family and named him Lan Kuan.
Lan Kuan's age is similar to Lan Haotian, when he was a child, he accidentally showed his extraordinary martial arts talent, the old city lord did not hesitate to teach him the Lan family's martial arts, and he did not live up to the expectations of the old city lord, he discovered the foundation after half a year of martial arts, ten years old strength is worth hundreds, when he was young, his strength overshadowed many masters of the Lan family, and his strength at the age of twenty was worth thousands.
Later, the old city lord left, Lan Haotian succeeded to the throne and became the new city lord of Yushui City, and Lan Kuan also became his personal guard.
In fact, all of this was the ploy of the previous generation of Situ family masters.
The feud between the Lan family and the Situ family has lasted for hundreds of years, and sooner or later it will break out, and the savings of the previous generation will be displayed in this area.
Lan Kuan also learned his true identity not long ago under Situ Miao's inform, at first he didn't believe it, and when he saw Situ Miao, he was about to fight, until the latter took out half a jade pendant.
When Lan Kuan was first adopted, the old city lord found half a jade pendant in his swaddling clothes, and considering that it might be related to his life experience, the old city lord asked him to wear it with him.
This has been worn for more than 30 years, and even if there is no hope of checking one's own background, it has become a habit.
When Lan Kuan took out the jade pendant for comparison, he was surprised to find that the half of the jade pendant he was wearing on the front of his neck and the half of the jade pendant in Situ Miao's hand were just enough to make up a pair.
The hostile family that he was planning to annihilate turned out to be the place where he was born, and Cang Tianmo played a huge joke with him.
"Give you three days to think about which side to help, you choose. ”
Situ Miao threw half of the jade pendant in his hand to Lan Kuan, and disappeared after leaving this sentence.
During the three days, Situ Lei struggled in entanglement every second, living like a year. One is the place where he was born, the other is the place where he was raised, on the one hand, the life-saving grace of the old city lord of the Lan family, and on the other hand, the heavy expectations of the old lord of Situ, how should he choose?
To tell the truth, he still remembers the Lan family in his heart, he grew up here, how can he forget the feelings of more than 30 years? As soon as he recalled the kind face of the old city lord, Lan Kuan was a little nervous, if he betrayed the Lan family, how could he be blind under the nine springs!
But in the final analysis, he is nostalgic for the Lan family under the old city supervisor's system, not the current Lan family, Lan Haotian does not trust him and value him as much as the old city lord, for example, the last Piaoxianglou incident, he did not follow the oath he made, caught the main culprit within three days, and received a heavy punishment from Lan Haotian.
Although it was his own reason, Lan Haotian's way of dealing with it was too unsympathetic.
Being a personal guard by Lan Haotian's side, Lan Kuan always had a feeling of depression and unwillingness, who doesn't want to stand in a high position? Who doesn't want to be proud of his career? He Lan Kuan obviously has the same strength as the five masters of the Lan family, why should he be willing to be a little-known personal guard?
What can emotional intelligence determine? In this world, strength is the factor that dominates everything. Besides, all of the five masters of the Lan family have very high emotional intelligence? The silly and simple Lan Yiling, and the impulsive Lan Zhenyu, what do they say?
Lan Kuan sometimes even wonders, is it because he was picked up, Lan Haotian has always regarded himself as an outsider, and has never dared to regard himself as his right and left hand in the true sense?
Lan Kuan took out half of the jade pendant he carried with him from his clothes, and picked up the half of the jade pendant that Situ Miao gave him, the cross-section of the two jade pendants was smooth and flat, and only those who were skilled in the sword could divide a jade pendant in two so perfectly.
Legend has it that the old master of Situ is a good hand in the knife, and presumably the section of these two jade pendants should be made by him himself.
Lan Kuan tried to merge the two halves of the jade pendant together, and the section magically disappeared and merged into one! It turned out that the lines engraved on the half of the jade pendant did not know what it was, and after merging with the other half, the word "ink" appeared on the jade pendant.
Just when Lan Kuan was a little confused, the ink characters on the jade pendant flickered, and the golden light was introduced into the air from the font, turning into rows of small golden characters:
At the beginning of the water, the two families were dominant.
The head of the city is blue, and the end of the city is Situ.
On the occasion of the centennial, there is a stalemate.
However, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, and there will be a time when one side will perish.
Our Situ family, passed down from generation to generation, everyone has accumulated savings, and has the equal strength of the Lan family, but the key to winning the game is missing.
The old man is old, and he knows that it is difficult for the rest of the generations to make a difference, a pair of dogs under his knees, the elder brother inkstone, the younger inkstone, the inkstone is white and black, the former is seen in the light, and the latter is hidden in the dark. Therefore, let the former rule our people, and the latter hide from the opponent.
Forgive the father for his own opinion, planning your life, but Wanger and others know the painstaking work of the father and his son Jackie Chan.
One day, inkstone and ink will be gathered, and the overall situation can be drawn and the water will be unified.
—————— Situ Song's pen
After Lan Kuan read this family letter, the whole person was stunned.
Situ Miao told him before that he was born as a member of the Situ family, but Lan Kuan didn't expect that he was not only a member of the Situ family, but also the son of Situ Song, the head of the Situ family, and the current head of the Situ family was actually his own brother.
As the head of the family, he has to think about the future of the entire family before his own family, so Lan Kuan does not blame his father, and he does not envy his brother's innate position as the head of the family as the only child on the surface, because this is also a move made by his father.
It was only at this moment that Lan Kuan realized how extraordinary his background was, and he was given high hopes to lead the family to prosperity, which was tantamount to a heavy weight, which tilted the balance in his heart towards the Situ family.
The gold-lettered family letter in front of him gradually dispersed, and Lan Kuan also made his own decision.
From today on, his nameless is no longer Lan Kuan, but —————— Situ Mo.
Situ Yan stepped down from the throne and stood in front of Situ Mo.
Since birth, the two brothers have been separated from two families in the blink of an eye, for more than 30 years, and now they are finally able to reunite, in this kind of big family, they have no right to choose their own fate, only the right to be chosen by fate.
Facing his younger brother, who was nearly a head taller than him, Situ Yan's eyes were also rarely filled with tears, and he stretched out his hands to hold his brother's arm, "It's very strong, stronger than me." ”
Situ Mo's face also naturally relaxed, but his face was fierce, and his smile would be a little incongruous
"Big brother. ”
How much distance has been narrowed from the title of "head of the family" to the eldest brother, and how much brotherhood has been missing, Situ Yan's hands holding the former tightened even tighter, "I've suffered you all these years." “
Situ Mo shook his head, "For the sake of the family, for the sake of my father, I am willing." “
Each family has its own story, some because there are too many brothers, in order to compete for the position of the head of the family, they do not hesitate to mutilate their siblings, even after the ascendancy, in order to sit back and relax, they still will not let go of those siblings who failed the election.
And Situ Mo is different, as Situ Song's only son, he is the only heir of the Situ family, there is no competitor without a brother, on the contrary, there is no competitor is no brother, and it is not a good feeling to be lonely.
When Situ Song was dying, he handed Situ Yan a bag
"I have a hunch that the grievances between the two clans will be settled in your generation, and when the war with the Lan family starts, if you fall into an unfavorable situation, open this bag, it will guide you in the way forward. “
With that, Situ Song's thin arm hung down, and he closed his eyes.
Not long ago, after Situ Miao's identity as an undercover agent in Piaoxianglou was exposed, Situ Yan had a faint bad premonition, so he opened the bag that his father gave him before he died, and unexpectedly learned that he actually had a biological brother, and this unknown younger brother was hidden in the Lan family.
Situ Yan immediately ordered Situ Miao to handle this matter, so that Situ Mo could learn his true identity as soon as possible.
After that, Situ Yan's bad premonition soon came true, since Situ Xin's disappearance in the gold absorption workshop, Situ Yi and Situ Lei were miserably calculated by the Lan family on the way to encircle and suppress Lan Yiling.
The five masters of the Situ family have lost three of them, and the general trend has gone.
"Big brother, if I had known my identity earlier, I would have definitely gotten information from the Lan family to save it, and my clan would not have suffered such a huge loss. Situ Yi and Situ Lei's death Situ Mo naturally knew, and he knelt down on one knee to ask Situ Yan for his guilt.
Situ Yan hurriedly helped him up, "What did my brother say, this matter is my fault, if I had opened the bag earlier and thought twice before sending Situ Yi and Situ Lei on a mission, the family would not have come to this point." ”
As soon as Situ Mo wanted to continue to say something, Situ Yan waved his hand, "Today's reunion, not to mention these unpleasant things, it is the greatest joy that you can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors!"
