"Oh? How messy is it? ”

Hearing Dongfang Ling Shao's voice, Zuo Yang finally opened one eye and glanced at him, and asked lightly.

"Since the eunuch left this afternoon, my father has hurriedly summoned all the core disciples into the council hall to discuss countermeasures, and he didn't even let us eat dinner, and he hasn't discussed an effective way until now."

Dongfang Ling Shao hurriedly said honestly, "I still used the thatched house as an excuse, so I found an opportunity to run out and inform you, senior brother, I can only rely on you this time, you should hurry up, otherwise maybe my father and they should discuss the matter of fleeing in order to keep the 'casting technique'......"

"Well, so your dad is still in the council hall?"

Zuo Yang smiled and asked.

"Exactly, senior brother ......"

Dongfang Ling Shao replied, but the expression on his face was still very anxious, and he moved Zuo Yang and wanted to urge Zuo Yang to move.

"Okay, you settle the tea money first, and then take me to the council hall of your Oriental family."

Zuo Yang finally opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said.

The teahouse is the same as the restaurant, squatting in it to drink tea costs silver, but this money is not spent in vain, you can get a certain amount of experience and cultivation value bonus, of course, tea and wine are also expensive and cheap, the more expensive the tea, the longer the duration of the bonus, but there is also an upper limit every day......

Zuo Yang is now doing things for the Oriental family, and it is reasonable that the money has to be paid by the Oriental family, and this has been the case for the past two days, so when someone pays for reimbursement, Zuo Yang is of course the most expensive tea, and the cultivation value in the past two days is naturally much more comfortable than before.

"It's natural, I'm already over when I entered the door, but ......"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Ling Shao's face showed a touch of embarrassment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a slight hesitation, "Senior brother, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to take you directly to my family's meeting hall......"

"Since the establishment of the Oriental Family, there has been an iron law: the council hall will never allow anyone from outside the clan to enter, so many years have passed, this rule has never dared to break, so I will take you in private...... It's still a trivial matter for me to be punished by family law, but I'm afraid that my father's group of old antiques don't know how to be flexible, and it won't be good for you to be abrupt when the time comes. ”

"In addition, there are many people in the council hall now, and some people are already talking badly, so it is inevitable that they will say something that you don't like to hear, so ...... Why don't you enter the Dongfang Mansion for a while, I will arrange for you to wait in the meeting room for a while, and then go to the council hall to call my father out, and then how about you tell him about your plan? ”

Speaking of this, Dongfang Ling Shao looked at Zuo Yang again, for fear that Zuo Yang would change his mind because of this rule.

"I think it's better to go straight to the council hall."

Zuo Yang still said with a smile, the old god with a face was there.

Naturally, he has his own plans:

If he only contacted Dongfang City this time, he was afraid that in the end, he could only live in the background, and only Dongfang City and Dongfang Ling Shao knew what he had done in the entire Dongfang family, and the whereabouts of the [Mixed Yuan Casting Furnace] could only be taken from these two people, and although Dongfang City knew best, as the head of the family, he would definitely not tell the whereabouts of the ancestral treasure, even if he was willing, the rest of the clan would not be easy to understand.

Dongfang Ling Shao doesn't need to say it, this guy is still young, although Zuo Yang didn't ask, he also felt that the possibility of Dongfang Cheng telling him the whereabouts of such an important thing was very low.

Therefore, he wants to give advice in the council hall and let everyone in the Oriental family know that he is the benefactor of the Oriental family.

In this way, if Dongfang City was willing to give the [Mixed Yuan Casting Furnace] to him, a great benefactor, the other clansmen would have nothing to say; If he was unwilling, Zuo Yang would also pave the way for the next contact with the other core members of the Dongfang Family, so that it would be easier to get more information about the [Mixed Yuan Casting Furnace] in the side knocks, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

And compared with this plan in Zuo Yang's heart, even if he listens to some words he doesn't like to hear, and there may even be other troubles, he doesn't care, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, anyway, no matter what, the people of the Dongfang family always dare not do too much to him, the person who advises, when they are at a loss.

After all, compared with the iron law of the family, the life and death of the family is naturally more important, if the family is gone, why do you need the iron law?

"This ......"

Seeing Zuo Yang say this, Dongfang Ling Shao's face immediately showed more hesitation, in the end, the iron law of the family still had some weight in his heart.

"Could it be that the Oriental family is full of ungrateful people who cross the river and tear down bridges?"

Zuo Yang asked with empty eyes again.

"Naturally not! Even if some of my Oriental family's practices are not above board, they are by no means such treacherous people, otherwise how can they gain a foothold in this river and lake! ”

Dongfang Ling Shao immediately straightened his chest and justified his family's name with a righteous face.

"If it's not, what are you worried about? I'm going to help the Oriental family give advice, and I'm not going to harm the Oriental family, so even if I enter this hall, your father won't do anything to me, right? ”

Zuo Yang smiled and said in a seductive manner, "What's more, this matter is urgent, the sooner you deal with it, the better, if I discuss it with your father first, your father hesitates, and then goes to discuss it with the clansmen, it will undoubtedly waste more time, but it is better to make my countermeasures directly public, and everyone can discuss it together to be happy and happy, and avoid missing the best opportunity." ”

He knew that this guy was actually not a master who obeyed the rules, nor was he the kind of master who was afraid of things, after all, when Zhang Danling introduced this guy before, he had said that he openly opposed the family's decision and was finally confined by Dongfang City...... If you are afraid of things, how can you do such a thing?

Therefore, you only need to let this guy know that what he is doing is necessary, and this guy will definitely do what he wants.

Really.

"What the senior brother said is not unreasonable......"

Dongfang Ling Shao frowned and thought about it carefully, immediately slapped his palms heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "Today, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, take the senior brother to break into this hall, and also ask my father and other clansmen to see, I, Dongfang Ling Shao, have grown up, not only can I take charge of myself, but also solve problems for the family!" ”

"Ambitious, walking?"

Zuo Yang said with a smile.

"Senior brother, please!"

When Dongfang Ling Shao made an invitation, he strode out of the door of the Hongru Teahouse with Zuo Yang.

……

This time, Dongfang Ling Shao led the way in front, and several families in the door naturally opened the door happily, although they couldn't help but look at Zuo Yang a few more times, but they didn't dare to ask anything, so they had to stand on both sides and let them go.

So, the two bypassed the shadow wall and walked all the way through the courtyard of the courtyard structure of the Oriental Family.

Although the Oriental family follows the ancient architectural style of the Celestial Empire, and is full of ancient charm, the materials used in the construction are different from most houses, and many of the door frames, window frames and load-bearing columns that should have been wooden structures are all made of various alloy metals that are not clear what materials they are.

Therefore, in the ancient style and charm, it is very self-style, and at a glance, it will give people a feeling of indestructible like an iron wall.

In addition, just like the words twisted with various weapons on the plaque outside the gate, many decorations in the courtyard also follow this style, if it weren't for the fact that there are still people living here, and there are green vegetation everywhere with red willow rain, Zuo Yang really thought that he had come to a sword shrine, not a residence.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them passed through three courtyards, and finally came to a courtyard that resembled a garden.

There are flowers, grasses, trees and stones, and a large group of colorful koi swimming in the babbling stream under the small arched bridges and pavilions made of wood...... This is probably the only place in the entire Oriental family that is most in line with the aesthetics of normal people, and it is also the least like a sword mound, right?

"Twitter! Chirp! ”

"Ahem!"

When Zuo Yang was observing the environment, there were suddenly several bird calls not far away, and at the same time, there was a man's coughing voice.

“？”

Zuo Yang followed the voice and looked over.

I saw that under a weeping willow not far away, a middle-aged man with a rickety figure was carrying a birdcage and slowly swaying, the birds in the cage jumped up and down, and the middle-aged man was coughing with one hand in front of his mouth in the shape of a fist, but his eyes kept staring at Zuo Yang up and down, with some wariness in his eyes.

"Second uncle, my father is discussing important matters with the clansmen in the council hall at the moment, won't you go and take a look?"

Dongfang Ling Shao turned around and said to the middle-aged man quite politely.

"Ahem, ahem!"

The middle-aged man coughed twice, then waved his hand and smiled, "The second uncle is like this caged bird now, eating and drinking well is a big deal, and everything else has nothing to do with the second uncle. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man raised the cage a little higher and stretched out a finger to tease the bird.

"Then I'll go first."

Dongfang Ling Shao responded, and then took Zuo Yang and continued to walk along the path into the distance.

And just when he was about to leave this garden, the middle-aged man's pointed voice came from behind him: "Ling'er, go further and you will go to the council hall, although you are a good boy who dares to be a good boy, but the second uncle still wants to remind you, don't forget the rules of our family." ”

"Second uncle, I can save it."

Dongfang Ling Shao glanced back at the middle-aged man again, and nodded very solemnly at him.

The middle-aged man was still looking at Zuo Yang, his black eyes seemed to see him through, but Zuo Yang was not afraid at all, and looked at him openly - who blinked and who was grandson, dare?

And so on for a moment.

"Save it, go ahead."

The middle-aged man waved his hand again, lowered his head and teased his bird - he lost, hahaha!

"Okay."

Dongfang Ling Shao smiled, and continued to walk inside with Zuo Yang, and introduced Zuo Yang as he walked, "That was my second uncle just now, and he was also the second owner of our Oriental family, called Dongfang Ren, he was weak and sick since he was a child, and he couldn't practice martial arts, but he was good at reading poetry and books, and he was good at reciting. ”

"Back then, my second uncle and my father were very good, but unfortunately later my father insisted on choosing to take refuge in Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in order to revitalize the Oriental family, to help him ascend to the throne, and my second uncle always thought that Zhu Di was a rebellious minister and thief, and resolutely opposed my father's decision.

"Since then, although my second uncle promised never to leave the Oriental family under my grandfather's will, he has never cared about family affairs."

"I see."

Zuo Yang nodded, and said in his heart, no wonder this guy is quite lenient, but he insists on not going to the council hall to discuss the plan with the clansmen, it turns out that he has such a past.

Between words.

"Senior brother, we've arrived."

Dongfang Ling Shao looked at the lonely big house in front of him, and finally stopped, and at the same time swallowed his saliva, and took a few deep breaths, so that his chest kept rising and falling, and he was still a little nervous.

"Hmmm......"

Zuo Yang also stood still and looked up.

Unlike the other courtyards of the Oriental Family, the courtyard where this house is located has no greenery at all, nor any decorative ornaments, but only smooth stone slabs on the ground around it...... In addition to this, the large house is also located in the very center of the courtyard, maintaining a certain distance from the four walls.

One of the advantages of this construction method is that there is no way to hide people within a radius of more than ten meters or even tens of meters around the house, so there is no need to worry about being overheard when discussing any important matters.

At this moment, there is a family member standing guard every few meters around the house, so that it is even less likely that anyone will eavesdrop on what is being said.

"I'm going in."

Dongfang Ling Shao glanced back at Zuo Yang, and saw that he was still that indifferent, and he unconsciously admired it in his heart, and said in his heart, When will I be able to deal with any situation like my senior brother, and then he said.

"Walking."

Zuo Yang smiled and nodded.

"Yes, please."

Dongfang Ling Shao took another deep breath, finally made up his mind, and walked towards the council hall.

When he walked to the door of the council hall, the family at the door hurriedly bowed to him: "Ling Shao." ”

"Hmm."

Dongfang Ling Shao responded, but walked forward and pushed the door without squinting.

And behind him.

"Boom!"

The broadswords in the hands of the two family members were already horizontal in front of Zuo Yang's face, and then the two of them were also vigilant, and shouted loudly together: "The iron law of the Oriental family, if you are not from my clan, you are not allowed to enter the council hall, if you dare to take another step, you will be killed!" ”
