Chapter 52: The Effect of Cloth Brocade
"You see my big brother?"
In a street corner in Mochengfang City, Mo Yun's eyelids jumped unnaturally, he frowned and looked at the steward in front of him, and asked.
"Yes, Second Young Master, the eldest young master is already in the mansion now. ”
The man in charge replied respectfully.
"He's not going to Meaux tomorrow on his schedule... Could it be that something is going on?"
Mo Yun lowered his head slightly, shook the jade fan in his hand, and muttered in a low voice, he raised his head, looked at the steward, and asked a little nervously:
"Big brother is back, where's my father?"
"The city lord is discussing the banquet with the people of the major families, and according to the city lord's meaning, it seems that he is using this banquet to 'push' the eldest prince. ”
The steward replied meticulously.
This time, when the eldest brother came back, my father made up his mind and retired by himself, so that the eldest brother could inherit the position of the city lord! Since I was a child, I have only had the eldest brother in my father's eyes, let me learn from the eldest brother, only the eldest brother is right, everything about me is wrong, then Gao Xin is obviously the first thing I took a fancy to, how long have I begged him? How many soft words did I say? Has my father ever reasoned with me? No! But what was the result? Just because of Mo Xing's words, a sentence! My father actually went directly to Gao's house and made a marriage contract between the two!
The steward's words made a wave of resentment suddenly erupt in Mo Yun's heart, he held the jade fan in his hand tightly, and there was a strong resentment in his voice, and the last two words were almost said through gritted teeth.
Raising his eyelids and looking at Mo Yun's angry expression, the steward took two steps back quietly, keeping himself away from the second son, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The second son of Mo Cheng in front of him can be said to have grown up with him, the latter was originally an excellent person, but in front of the even better Mo Xing, he was hit hard, so that he destroyed Mo Yun's self-confidence and became complaining.
"You go back first"
Mo Yun kept a calm face and waved his hand at the steward.
"Yes"
The steward answered, shook his head secretly, and slowly turned around and walked out of the corner.
Looking at the direction in which the steward disappeared, Mo Yun pursed his thin lips, and a somewhat hideous smile gradually appeared on his face:
"Boom, my good big brother... You want to marry Gao Xin back and inherit the position of city lord, I don't want to..."
......
Teng's family, the old master's room.
A child of about eleven or twelve years old, sitting on the table, shaking his white calves, on the little face of a little baby fat, with a faint smile, he tilted his head sideways, looked at Teng He, who was sitting on the chair, his body was a little trembling, and said casually:
"Xiaohe, what use do you say? Bai Fox gave you the news, you failed to snipe at the Liu family, and asked you to help Wang Ning control Gao Xin, but you not only killed Wu Li, but also made Wang Ning be counter-charged, Wu Li is okay, just a slave of the master, but Wang Ning, but my ghost boy's senior sister..."
Speaking of this, the ghost boy's expression suddenly froze, and his voice suddenly became cold:
"You don't think that you can just put the blame on your senior sister, do you? Are you used to the scenery in Meaux, or have you been playing the role of a senior sister for a long time... So to make you forget... You're just a slave to your master... In the master's place, you are not even as good as a hair of the senior sister..."
The ghost boy's cold words made Detenghe's heart beat violently, and an emotion called fear slowly surged out of his heart, his hands trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After speaking, the ghost boy got up slowly, stood barefoot on the table, looked down at Teng He, on his immature little face, crossed with thick disdain, he looked at Teng He like a worm, and said impatiently:
"I don't want to be with that stinking corpse anymore, so hurry up and finish your final mission, and then give me my death"
"Yes, yes"
Teng He stood up tremblingly, replied tremblingly, then kowtowed to the ghost boy, turned around and wiped the cold sweat on his head, and quickly swept out of the house.
......
Liu's house, outside the bamboo house.
Liu Ku put his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth under his feet, the old man's face was a little hopeful, and a little worried, he muttered to himself in a low voice:
"Little friend, the old man either doesn't believe you, or because he believes in you, he delayed it until today to let you detoxify the head of the family, so you don't want to disappoint the old man..."
At this moment, Liu Ku suddenly raised his head, looked into the distance, and saw the fire flashing in the distance, and a figure wrapped in flames was quickly sweeping towards the willow house, and in less than a moment, he came to Liu Ku.
"How's it going?"
As soon as the figure came, he asked, and there was a hint of worry in his voice.
"It's not good, the level has fallen to the first order of Linghou... Alas, now I can only wait for the empty Xuan Xiaoyou, I can't be in a hurry"
Hearing Liu Ping's inquiry, Liu Wei stopped, shook his head, and sighed.
Hearing this, the fist in Liu Ping's sleeve robe couldn't help but clench, and the old face was full of anxiety:
"I can't be in a hurry here, the city lord's mansion is in a hurry! Mo Xing is now in the city lord's mansion, the banquet will be held two days in advance, and the day after tomorrow, the city lord will elect Mo Xing as the new city lord at the banquet, and when the new city lord takes the throne, the heads of the major families in Mo City will be present. The Liu family, as one of the three powerful families in Mocheng, if the head of the family hadn't been there at that time..."
Although Liu Ping did not finish speaking, the result was self-evident, Liu Lie fell ill in bed, and it has become a secret that is not a secret in Mocheng, it can be said that some well-known families in Mocheng have heard about it, but knowing it, the real credibility of this news is a big problem.
Everyone knows that the Liu family can come to such a point, it can be said that it all depends on Liu Lie, but the Liu family is still meticulous in doing things now, and it is no different from usual, which makes some families doubt the authenticity of the news. Between the status of the Liu family, this ambiguous news made some families who wanted to make a move decide to wait and see.
And this banquet is the best opportunity to wait and see, if the head of the Liu family does not appear, it is equivalent to confirming the authenticity of this news, and the head of his Liu family is really sick in bed.
At that time, those families who support the Liu family because of the strength of the Liu family will cut off contact with the Liu family in less than a day and defect to the Gao family or the Teng family. There are even some families who will step on it backwards.
The Liu family, which has lost its head of the family, is like a tiger with its teeth extracted, without the power to attack, there is only an empty shell called the big family, maybe after a long time, this empty shell will not be saved.
Liu Ku's palms trembled, he naturally knew the result, but now, he could only wait, Mo Bao was resolute and resolute, never indecisive, and he would not change his mind about what he decided.
Liu Ku took a light breath. forcibly suppressed the worries in his heart, as if to change the topic, and asked quite casually:
"Mo Xing is on schedule, he should return tomorrow, why did he come back today?"
This was a casual question, but it made Liu Ping sigh heavily:
"Alas, the problem is here, the girl of the Gao family wrote a piece of cloth brocade, and sent someone to send it to Mo Xing non-stop, we don't know what this girl of the Gao family wrote, that Mo Xing received the cloth brocade, very anxious, and ran alone overnight, without stopping at all"
Hearing this, Liu Ku was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, he shook his head with a wry smile, and then a strange look appeared on the old face:
"The power of this brocade is not small... It affected Mo Xing, not to mention, and indirectly led to the life and death of the Liu family, in this regard, Miss Shuang'er is really not half a star..."
Hearing Liu Ku's muttering, Liu Ping on the side was also stunned, and then the two glanced at each other and sighed bitterly.
After sighing, the two of them stopped talking, and looked outside the bamboo forest, waiting quietly.
I don't know how long it took, the sunset slanted from the sky, everything in the bamboo forest was shrouded in a blurry rose color, and the slightly cool sunlight was quite lazily sprinkled on the two of them.
In the midst of this silent and anxious waiting, a figure walking slowly finally made a touch of joy appear on the faces of the two elders.
