Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Grievances of the Xiao Family Back then
At the same time, in the family meeting hall of the Xiao family in Yanjing, although it was late at night, the Xiao family's meeting hall was still brightly lit, and all the Xiao family descendants, elders, and high-level family members from all walks of life were all sitting there. Sitting on the main seat is Xiao Su, the head of the Xiao family, who is also Xiao Tiance's father, and sitting next to Xiao Su is the second elder of the Xiao family. In today's Xiao family, the old family head Xiao Zhantian is not there, and the two of them have the most authority, and Xiao Su, as the second-generation head of the family, has even more power. After all, he is Xiao Zhantian's eldest son and the second-generation head of the Xiao family.
At this moment, Xiao Su and Xiao Potian are sitting on the main seat, and the rest of the people are all sitting in the two rows below, and the high-level Xiao family who came here for a meeting tonight has as many as twenty or thirty people, which shows the strength of the Xiao family. But at this moment, the faces of the high-ranking members of the Xiao family are very solemn, and some of the Xiao family are sideways, and their faces are even more smiling, with a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.
As for the second-generation head of the Xiao family, Xiao Su's face was very gloomy, because tonight's meeting was not held by him, but by the second elder Xiao Potian and a group of family high-level officials.
Xiao Su had a gloomy face, glanced down and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do when you force me to convene a family council tonight?" Or do you want to bring down me, the head of the family? ”
Xiao Su tore his face directly when he opened his mouth, leaving no room at all, the Xiao family has been his word all these years, and he has long been accustomed to the feeling that everyone obeys his orders. But things seem to have changed now. From half a month ago, everyone in the family looked at him with inexplicable sarcasm in their eyes. And he also found something, without him, it was because his eldest son, who had disappeared for five years, came back, and he was also named the god of war outside the territory!
At this moment, Xiao Su's cousin, who is also the son of Xiao Potian, the second elder of the Xiao family, Xiao Xiao picked up the teacup, took a sip, then smiled meaningfully, and said, "If the eldest brother has to say that we forced you tonight, then ...... That's it, so what? Hehe......" Xiao Xiao squinted his eyes as he spoke, looking at Xiao Su who was sitting on the main seat, with sarcasm in his eyes.
Bang! The next moment, Xiao Su, who was sitting on the main seat, slammed the table and stood up, pointed at Xiao Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao! I tell you, even if I am not the head of the family, it will not be your turn! And it's up to you? Do you have the right to depose me? Or do you want to join your father? ”
Xiao Xiao put down the teacup, looked at Xiao Su with a meaningful sneer and said, "Huh...... Big brother, what did you do five years ago, you know in your own heart that my eldest nephew is so good, but you kicked him out of the family. Hehe, now that people are called the God of War, he is still the same extraterritorial God of War as the uncle, hehe, do you think that the uncle will spare you for the things you did for that fox spirit back then? As for the position of the head of the family, I'm sorry, I really don't want to be it, and it's not suitable for me to be, but my eldest nephew, the eldest nephew who is now under the age of thirty and is named the god of war, is it not okay to be the head of the family? ”
"What? Do you want to welcome that rebel son back to the family? Don't even think about it! No way! "The second-generation head of the Xiao family, the anger in Xiao Su's heart has been monstrous, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let Xiao Tiance return again! The emperor's family has no family affection, and for the sake of his powerful position, it is impossible for him to let Xiao Tiance come back! And Xiao Tiance also used to do it with him back then! Xiao Tiance doesn't regard him as a father at all, and he naturally won't recognize that rebel son again!
At this time, Xiao Xiao, who was sitting below, put away the smile on his face, and said slowly with a fixed look in his eyes: "If, I ...... Do you have to welcome back the cold night? Xiao Su, can you ...... How is it? ”
After Xiao Xiao's words, the entire Xiao family's meeting hall was silent, and the atmosphere was instantly solemn to the extreme. Tearing his face, this is already a battle for the authority of the Xiao family that is completely on the surface. And everyone's hearts are also quite weird, because in other families, the main vein is desperately suppressing the branches, but in the Xiao family, it is completely the opposite, the branches are desperately helping the three generations of heirs of the main vein to seize power, and the main vein is actually desperately suppressing......
Xiao Su, who was standing in the first place, was also silent, his eyes were gloomy and scary, at this moment, he didn't look at Xiao Xiao again, but raised his eyes and glanced at the people below, and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, what do you mean?" Let me remind you, even if the rebel has been named the god of war before, but don't forget, he opened the killing ring in Qianjiang City, and now he has been expelled from the Ministry of War, and he is no longer the god of war, are you still standing in line? ”
"Expelled from the War Department? Hehe, it's not a big deal, there is a shortage of people in the Dragon Kingdom War Department, some garbage, kill it, it's not a big deal, even if it's really completely fired, I'll go with my eldest brother to help Hanye find a relationship, hehe......" At this moment, Xiao Potian, the second elder of the Xiao family, who was also sitting on the other side of the first place, spoke.
As soon as Xiao Potian spoke, all the Xiao family executives in the hall lowered their heads, but everyone's eyes flashed with a strange light, and they were all thinking about their hearts, in fact, this situation has been going on since half a month ago, and it was only officially torn up tonight. But the high-ranking people of the Xiao family, they are not interested in who is the head of the family, and it is not their turn anyway. But if the Xiao family has one more god of war, or a stronger god of war and authority, and a broader extraterritorial god of war in the future, they are naturally all very happy.
After all, the Xiao family is the founding family of the Dragon Kingdom, and with a god of war in charge, they have already established a foothold here in Yanjing, and their status is second only to those hidden gate valves that have been inherited for hundreds of years and thousands of years. What if there was one more extraterritorial god of war? Two gods of war in one family! They are all extraterritorial gods of war with unparalleled combat power, so the Xiao family is bound to be able to usher in a greater development in the future. Moreover, Xiao Zhantian is too old, and there are too many dark wounds left on his body for many years, so he can't say that he will fall down one day. And if Xiao Zhantian falls, then the Xiao family will really be finished......
So tonight, all the high-ranking members of the Xiao family who came to this meeting, in fact, they had already made their position clear. That is, Xiao Hanye must be welcomed back, of course, people are now called Xiao Tiance. It doesn't matter.
"Bang......" The silence of everyone in the Xiao family, as well as Xiao Potian's statement, immediately made Xiao Su sit on the chair in disbelief. And today, everyone's attitude is clear, if he still insists on not agreeing, then the split of the Xiao family is today!
At this moment, in fact, Xiao Su also had some regrets in his heart, half a month ago, when he got the news that Xiao Tiance was named the God of War, he was also shocked in his heart. He couldn't have imagined that his rebellious son would actually be named the God of War! It's still extraterritorially banned! So in fact, at that time, Xiao Su regretted it in his heart, he actually had already moved in his heart at that time, and the idea of letting his son return to the family.
But he couldn't swallow that breath in his heart, when he sent his wife to death, Xiao Tiance completely broke with him, and even made a move with him, and threatened to kill his favorite woman!
"Am I wrong? What's wrong with me! The marriage back then was something I didn't like! The family forced me to marry a woman I didn't like at all for the sake of profit! Has anyone ever cared about me? Yes? And that rebel still wants to kill his stepmother! How dare he! How could he! His own mother is dead! It's all dead, can't I marry another one? Could it be that I, the head of the Xiao family, don't even have that bit of power? But why do you want to do it to your little mother! Why! ”
"But if you didn't do it back then, if you didn't stab your little mother, I would abolish you? Kicking you out of the family? Well? I even made plans to hand over the Xiao family to you, you are the head of your family, and I will retire my life, can't I? Yes? Why do you want to do this to me! I'm your real father! Why!!! ”
Xiao Su roared in his heart, yes, his feelings for Xiao Tiance were very complicated. The marriage he had with Xiao Tiance's mother more than 20 years ago was something he strongly opposed, but it was useless. The family forced him to marry a woman he didn't like, and he hadn't even met a few times! And then he was in pain for more than twenty years.
And now that the Xiao family branch wants to welcome Xiao Tiance back, then Xiao Tiance, who was going to kill his little mother five years ago, if he really comes back, will he let that woman go? Impossible, absolutely not. That's why Xiao Su has to oppose it vigorously.
"Why! Why can't you think about me as a father! Why! Xiao Su roared in his heart.
The next moment, Xiao Su forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at everyone in the audience, and said slowly: "It's still the same sentence, as long as I am still the head of the Xiao family for one day, I will not agree to your proposal!" Don't think I agree! ”
At this moment, Xiao Potian, the second elder of the Xiao family, who was sitting next to him, said faintly: "Hehe...... Su'er, you can also dissipate your anger, is there any other way, have you forgotten that when the eldest brother and our group of old brothers established the Xiao family, they established an iron law, that is, all women with foreign surnames who marry into the Xiao family are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Xiao family, if there is, then the elders of the Xiao family will have the right to abolish her, or even kill her! Of course, the Lin Feiling you married five years ago, we don't know if she interfered with you. But the fact now is that because of her, our Xiao family is about to split, so now our elders have the right to abolish her, or kill her tonight, as long as she dies, my Xiao family can have another god of war, isn't it? ”
After Xiao Potian finished speaking, Xiao Su's face changed instantly, but he didn't wait for him to speak. In the hall below, there were five elders of the Xiao family, who stood up in an instant, bent down at him and suggested, "Please master of the family, kill the troubled water!" Keep my Xiao clan stable ......"
As the five Xiao family elders finished speaking, all the high-level officials of the Xiao family in the hall below stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, bowed their heads to Xiao Su and said at the same time: "Please make a decisive choice to ensure the stable inheritance of my Xiao family......
"You, you, you...... You guys...... How dare you! How dare you! How dare you! Xiao Su was so frightened by the scene in front of him that his face turned pale. He was scared in his heart, yes, he was really scared, although he was the head of the Xiao family, but at this moment, if all the high-ranking members of the Xiao family asked to kill his newly married wife, he would have no way to stop it.
"Su'er, be decisive, cold night, oh no, his name is Tiance now. Then Tiance was a good boy, and he may have been a little impulsive back then. But you, the father, did too much back then, take him back, and you apologize to him too, after all, we are all for the good of the family, and let the woman you marry apologize to him. If you don't even agree to this, then something may happen to my Xiao family tonight that no one wants to see, right? Su'er, don't force us......" Xiao Potian, who was sitting next to Xiao Su, his tone became more and more cold.
Xiao Su listened to Xiao Potian's words, and his eyes stared at the high-level Xiao family members standing below. Time passed slowly, and ten minutes later, Xiao Su sat on the chair weakly and said, "Okay, I agree, you can send someone to bring the rebel back......
Xiao Potian continued to say faintly: "Su'er, you have to apologize to him personally, otherwise he will be angry in his heart and will not come back......"
Xiao Su's eyes were blank, and he nodded very decadently: "Good ......"
"I also want that woman to apologize to Tiance, don't refuse, you know the hatred of that woman in that child's heart......" Xiao Potian continued.
Xiao Su's eyes froze, wanting to resist, but after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay......"
"Hehe......" Xiao Potian smiled, then looked at his son Xiao Xiao who was standing below and said: "Xiao'er, you arrange someone, go and bring Tiance back, that child must have suffered a lot outside over the years, give him more compensation, and tell him that I will start to help him move around in the War Department, and within two or three years, I will strive to let him return to the War Department and get back the glory of the God of War." Let him not worry......"
Xiao Xiao, who was standing below, also smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, Dad, I will arrange it......"
Then the Xiao family and the others all dispersed, and soon Xiao Su was the only one left in the entire family discussion hall. After Xiao Su did this for a while, he walked back to his residence tiredly. As soon as he got home, a long-haired woman with a slender figure and a beautiful face greeted her, the woman is now in her forties, but she is very well maintained, she looks no different from a thirty-year-old woman, and between a smile and a smile, it is all fascinating and moving, she is Xiao Su's new wife married five years ago, Lin Feiling! Twenty years ago, Lin Feiling, the natural charm of the Yanjing generation of Oiran!
"What's wrong? You seem to be very unhappy......" Lin Feiling asked Xiao Su. He put his arm around him and helped him sit in a chair.
Xiao Su glanced at Lin Feiling with an incomparably complicated look in his eyes, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the elders of the family are going to welcome that rebel back, and they are also forcing me to apologize to you and him......"
"What! Let me apologize to that rebel? That's impossible! surnamed Xiao, haven't I been bullied by your Xiao family for so many years? Let me apologize to him, it's impossible to ......" Lin Feiling was directly furious, and his face instantly turned cold.
"If I don't do it, they will split the Xiao family and do something to you, kick you out of the Xiao family, or kill you...... So Ling'er, bear with me......" Xiao Su said in a very decadent voice.
The next moment, Lin Feiling fell to the chair with a bang, she lowered her head, and the depths of her eyes flashed with endless resentment......
She! Lin Feiling! will definitely not let Xiao Tiance return to Yanjing alive! Absolutely not! Absolutely not!
"Isn't it great to be a god of war? You're not a god yet! I don't believe I can't kill you this time! Don't think about coming back, and don't think about inheriting the family! Don't think about it!! Lin Feiling At this moment, the killing intent in her heart surged wildly, half a month ago, she had already contacted the top killers of all parties again, although she couldn't contact the God of War level killers, but she contacted dozens of half-step God of War level masters, originally she wanted to wait, but now she couldn't wait, and she believed that even if Xiao Tiance was strong, dozens of killers could kill him with poison or heavy weapons! And this time is different from the one five years ago, she has been in the Xiao family for five years, and in the past five years, she has accumulated too much heritage......
This time, she will kill Xiao Tiance!
