When Qian Changhai left, the only remaining three people, Chu Haoyu, Zhou Chu and Qian Lingyun, did not speak, and they were quiet for a while. After a short silence, Chu Haoyu took the lead and said: "This king has entered Jiangnan this time, so he wants to rectify the rule of Jiangnan officials, and he is also a thief who is a thief in the sky." After a pause at this, Chu Haoyu laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said: "Perhaps, this king is already destined to make a break with the heavenly thorn traitor in this life, either the enemy dies, or I die." ”

Although Qian Lingyun's expression was sluggish, he clearly heard the meaning of Chu Haoyu's words, and after a short silence, he opened his mouth and said: "The prince is talented, and the old man believes that the prince will be able to eradicate the heavenly thorn traitor." Speaking of this, Qian Lingyun also showed a smile on his thin face, and said: "It's not that the old man compliments the prince, it's really heartfelt." At this moment, the smile on Qian Lingyun's face had already dissipated, and he said with a sigh: "Actually, my father lost control of Kong very early, perhaps, since the beginning of its establishment, he has not really been able to control Kong in his hands. ”

Chu Haoyu and Zhou Chu's faces changed slightly when they heard Qian Lingyun's words, and Qian Lingyun explained: "In this world, black and white, yin and yang, are entangled like life and death, when my father has done business to a certain extent, he decided to establish a dark force similar to the shadow of the Zhao family and the secret guard of your Chu family, and hide everything that is not visible. However, my Qian family is just a merchant family, even if the business is all over the world, but it cannot be compared with the Zhao family and the Chu family. ”

At this point, Qian Lingyun showed a smile on his face again, and said: "Daddy is indeed talented, although he noticed this, instead of prohibiting it, he deliberately borrowed the power of many families and sects to achieve his goals, and at the same time cultivated his own power, my Qian family was able to become one of the four great families in the world in just thirty years, and Kong Dang was the first to do so." Because my Qian family is big, my father has gradually mastered the power that is not weak, but the world is initially decided, and my father took the initiative to hide Kong Xue in order to avoid suspicion, and this hiding difference is thirty years, thirty years, the seventh prince, you say, how many people are still under the control of my Qian family? After saying so much in one breath, Qian Lingyun couldn't help coughing again, and his breath became more and more sluggish.

While listening to Qian Lingyun's words, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but think of what his uncle Sun Yiyang had said, when he was young and walked the world, he found that the Qian family had captured countless children and turned them into orphans, and now forty years have passed, this group of orphans should be able to take charge of themselves! However, seeing Qian Lingyun's desolate appearance now, there was a sigh in his heart, and he said slowly: "Old man, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." ”

Trying to calm down the chaotic atmosphere, Qian Lingyun waved his hand and said: "Old and old, the old man is injured, both feet have stepped into the coffin, so I am not afraid of you laughing, this time in chaos, there is also a hole." After a pause at this, Qian Lingyun let out a soft snort that seemed to be a laugh, and said: "After thirty years of hiding in the snow, some people finally can't bear the loneliness and jump out, but think about it, how many people can wait for thirty years with peace of mind?" In this battle of the head of the family, Kong also plans to introduce one person to control my Qian family, who is the third child. ”

Chu Haoyu has been in charge of Tianwei for several years, and he knows the cruelty of fighting for power and profit, and he knows the unpredictability of people's hearts, so he heard that Kong did not have any different colors when he participated in the battle of the head of the family, but when he learned that Kong also chose Qian Susu, his face showed a different color, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Three Shao?" ”

Qian Lingyun nodded lightly and opened his mouth to explain: "The third teacher is from the old man of Tanglin. The old man of Tanglin is a strange generation and is good friends with his father, and he is also the elder of Kong's guest, because of this, the old man came into contact with Kong when he was young, and the third child is quite chivalrous and chivalrous, and he is also quite popular in Kong, and has a not weak force. After a pause at this, Qian Lingyun laughed self-deprecatingly, and then said: "Perhaps, it is precisely for this reason that the Heavenly Thorn Rebel found the third child." ”

When Qian Lingyun's words fell, the three of them fell silent again, but Zhou Chu, who had never spoken up, suddenly smiled and opened his mouth to say: "Old man, Zhou has a doubt, and he hasn't been able to guess the reason for it for several years, and I hope the old man will solve his doubts." Qian Lingyun couldn't refuse at all, Zhou Chu said directly: "Ten years ago, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he moved down the business order, and you retired on the grounds of taking care of the old man, so that the prosperity of the second and third rooms had a few days ago, otherwise, with the talent of the old man, he would have already controlled the family, right?" ”

This question was also what Chu Haoyu was puzzled about, but Qian Lingyun actually laughed out loud when he heard this question, but the laughter turned into a cough in his mouth, and it took a long time to calm down, shaking his head and saying: "The old man is still here, how can the old man He De control the family?" ”

Qian Lingyun's answer made Chu Haoyu and Zhou Chu stunned, and they looked at each other with a wry smile. They are all smart people, but this time they are smart but they are mistaken by cleverness, and they think about things complicated, just like in this world, the emperor is still there, and the prince cannot hold power, which is also the reason why the prince Chu Yuanbo chose to recuperate and heal.

Just when the two of them smiled bitterly, Qian Lingyun sighed faintly, and then said: "The first emperor and His Majesty are both a generation of Ming monarchs, and they have created a prosperous era in thirty years, and my Qian family is taking advantage of the situation to rise up and do business all over the world, but it is really too big, so big that my father is worried, and in the end I can only retire from illness." As the eldest son, the old man should have to carry the burden, but the old man couldn't carry this burden, so he had to push it to the brothers, and another purpose was for Kong. If my Qian family is a big tree with strong branches and leaves, the hole is the deep and low roots, so the old man wants to master the most mysterious force of Kong, but unfortunately ten years have passed, and he has only mastered a very small part, and they are all loyal to his father, ashamed! ”

Now that he has opened the conversation, Qian Lingyun no longer conceals it, and continued: "My father was indeed sick when he retired, but this delay is ten years, and the old man has also passed the age of sixties, and in the past ten years, the second and third children have gradually grasped the general trend, and the old man has lost the strength to fight with them, unless Daddy's support is on, but, will Daddy?" ”

Will this sentence contain too much sourness, helplessness and even unwillingness of Qian Lingyun. Shaking his head, Qian Lingyun opened his mouth and said: "The old man is old, really old, and besides, my father has long been disappointed in the old man." ”

Chu Haoyu had been thinking about Qian Lingyun's words, and when he heard him say this, Chu Haoyu suddenly thought of something, and a light flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed, Qian Buwei is really ruthless.

At this moment, Qian Lingyun seemed to fall into a coma, so that his voice was a little blurred, and said: "Later, the old man gradually figured out why his father wanted to retire back then, so it was because my Qian family's business was too big that the court was afraid of it, and another reason was to test the old man, to see if the old man dared to pick up the burden, but unfortunately, although the old man could, he didn't dare, so the old man lost his qualifications ten years ago, and it's ridiculous that the old man still wants to control the position of Kong as the successor to the head of the family, ridiculous!" In the laughter, which was worse than crying, Qian Lingyun coughed even more, mixed with a trace of blood, looking so miserable.

Looking at Qian Lingyun's current appearance, Chu Haoyu and Zhou Chu were silent for a while, not for the hero, but also for Qian Lingyun.

It should have been the cough that affected the injury, Qian Lingyun's face was distorted by pain, but the person came to his senses, and forced out a smile and said to the two: "These words have pressed the old man for several years, and it is much easier to say it, and the two of them are not surprised, the old man is a layman after all." Shaking his head, Qian Lingyun continued: "In the past ten years, my father has allowed the second, third, and fourth children to fight, and even watched the influx of forces from all sides without doing anything, just to take advantage of the situation to decide the real talented and brave people to succeed the family, otherwise, life and death in this world have always been born together, not to mention that the once prosperous and rich Zhao Dynasty is not the same as drowning in history?" ”

There was another sentence, Qian Lingyun didn't say it, but he glanced at Chu Haoyu meaningfully, and opened his mouth to say: "The old man thanked the prince first, you chose the dog, Changhai is young after all, and it is still a little insufficient to take on this big family, and I will have to look up to the prince more in the future." Speaking of this, Qian Lingyun paused for a while, Qian Lingyun showed a strange expression on his face, like sighing and mocking, as if he was helpless and reluctant, the interweaving of various emotions and his face slightly distorted by pain were like a hodgepodge, which made people see Baiwei life. Taking a deep breath, Qian Lingyun said as calmly as possible: "As for what the prince wants, my Qian family doesn't know much, and I will hand it over to the prince, hoping that the prince will not be disappointed. ”

Hearing Qian Lingyun's last sentence, Chu Haoyu immediately understood why he wanted to take Qian Changhai away, Qian Lingyun was expressing his attitude to himself, Kong who had been with Chu Jiatianwei and Zhao Jiayingwei ended up with him Qian Lingyun, and had nothing to do with the Qian family and Qian Changhai, in exchange for Chu Haoyu's support for Qian Changhai.

Looking at Qian Lingyun, Chu Haoyu was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed, opened his mouth and said: "The old man is serious, Brother Changhai is very talented, this king believes that Brother Changhai will not let the old man down and lead the Qian family to recast glory." ”

Qian Lingyun heard the meaning of Chu Haoyu's words, a relieved smile appeared on his thin face, and he nodded and said, "Then thanks to the prince's auspicious words." At the end of the words, Qian Lingyun coughed again, and in the heavy coughing sound, a mouthful of blood spit out, and when Qian Changhai entered the house, he saw his father who vomited blood, and hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Daddy." ”

It took a long time for Qian Lingyun to calm down the agitation of his mind, but he should have talked too much, his expression was sluggish, and he said weakly: "Don't get in the way, bring it?" ”

Qian Changhai nodded hurriedly and said, "I brought it." While speaking, Qian Changhai picked up a delicate wooden box and handed it to his father's face.

Seeing that the lock on the wooden box was intact, Qian Lingyun nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the cabinet behind him and said: "The keys are inside, they are all handed over to the Seventh Prince, and in the future, Daddy will no longer be there, please consult the Seventh Prince." ”

Listening to his father's lonely tone, Qian Changhai had a sour nose and blurted out: "Daddy......"
