Volume 2: Longteng Xijing Chapter 262: Deliberations in the Hall (1)
Murong Xinyuan is the only son of Murong Hu, and he is also the leader of the rising stars of the Murong family, and he has made a lot of contributions to all aspects of the family over the years, which are obvious to all, but because of Murong Wen's illness, Murong Xinyuan basically chooses to play with his son at home after being busy with family affairs on weekdays, because no one knows how long Murong Wen can live, and that episode will make him never wake up.
A person's energy is always limited, Murong Xinyuan can overcome such difficulties and handle the family's affairs in an orderly manner, it is understandable that there is less movement between brothers and nephews on weekdays, but this does not become an excuse for you.
Murong Qianyuan is the eldest son of Murong Xinyuan's second uncle's family, and he is also Murong Xinyuan's cousin, in their generation, Murong Xinyuan is the eldest and Murong Qianyuan is the second, and the age difference between the two is only two years. But Murong Qianyuan is still unmarried, and there are not so many cumbersome things that he needs to be distracted from, so his energy is more devoted to martial arts training and interpersonal relationships, and it can be said that the two brothers are the two leaders among the younger generations of the Murong family.
Although Murong Hu is still in charge of the affairs of the Murong family, everyone knows that Murong Hu cannot be the patriarch for the rest of his life, and when the new patriarch is elected in a few years, it must be a competition between Murong Xinyuan and Murong Qianyuan, so the younger generations in the family have gradually become factional over the years.
Murong Xinyuan understands these things in his heart, many brothers and nephews have gradually joined Murong Qianyuan's lineup because they are negligent on weekdays, but he is just powerless, and he really can't spare too much energy to deal with these things, but now the situation has changed three hundred and sixty degrees, Murong Wen's illness has not only improved, but also suddenly become a martial arts wizard, Murong Xinyuan is not to mention how happy.
The heart disease is gone, and it is time for Murong Xinyuan to make a big move, and with his father's support at this time, he has even more confidence.
……
……
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as dawn broke, Murong Xinyuan had already come to Lu Yao's door to wait, but he couldn't wait for Lu Yao to get up, so he didn't dare to disturb rashly, just stood at the door and waited.
Lu Yao's feelings for Murong Xinyuan are not bad, and even a little good, because their father-son relationship deeply touched the softest nerve in Lu Yao's heart, and Lu Yao had already sensed his existence as soon as he arrived, but Lu Yao also had other thoughts at this time, so he did not appear in a hurry, but continued to cultivate in the house.
The cultivation of these two days has improved Lu Yao's strength a lot, and the golden fire immortal qi in his body has also undergone slight changes, and there is a trace of green breath in the original golden immortal qi, thinking that the wood attribute has found its own survival space in the cracks of the golden fire attribute, which is the change that makes Lu Yao the most excited.
One was cultivating in the room, the other was standing quietly at the door and waiting, more than an hour had passed, Lu Yao finished his cultivation, got up at the door, opened the door, and saw Murong Xinyuan standing there with a lot of morning mist on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Mr. Murong is here, why don't you wake up the juniors and make you wait for a long time, it's really a shame not to go, hurry up and enter the house!" ”
After Lu Yao finished speaking, he dodged to the side, let go of the empty space at the door, Murong Xinyuan also walked in after returning the salute, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Lu Shaoxia is polite, I have just arrived, I don't know if Shaoxia got up, so I don't dare to disturb rashly, and I should wait for a while." ”
"What is Mr. Murong doing here, but it doesn't matter!" Lu Yao said politely.
"The two-flavor medicinal materials that my father sent someone to find have been delivered last night, and my father sent me over to invite Lu Shaoxia to the hall for a while, if Lu Shaoxia is convenient, please come with me." Murong Xinyuan said the purpose of this trip, but he hid the matter of Shenlongmu, it is better for Murong Hu to talk to him about such a thing, after all, although Lu Yao is young, his skills are not ordinary, and being able to kill the thief Zhu Lao Jiu is the best proof, not to mention the matter of washing the marrow for Murong Wen.
"Mr. Murong, wait a minute, I'll wash up and we'll get up and go." After Lu Yao finished speaking, he began to get busy.
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, Lu Shaoxia, please take care of yourself!" After Murong Xinyuan finished speaking, he waited outside the door again.
……
……
This is the first time that Lu Yao has walked out of his house and come to the other courtyards of Murong Villa, the wall is towering, and he can't see the outside situation, but Lu Yao can feel from the temperature in the early morning and the humidity of the surrounding air that Murong Villa is not somewhere under the mountain, but should be somewhere in Panlong Mountain, the air is fresh and charming, the humidity is heavier, although it is early autumn, the temperature is more than seven or eight degrees different from the city.
The red brick high walls, rockery pavilions, the gurgling stream flowing through, and occasionally small fish shuttling through it, all the buildings show the wealth here, this is not the immortal mansion that ordinary people can have at all, even the Qiankun Martial Arts Hall that Lu Yao has seen before is dwarfed by this place. This also gave Lu Yao more confidence to complete his plan.
The two of them walked through five courtyards, ten rockeries, and four completely different streams, men and women met no less than thirty people, who were dressed like Murong Xinyuan, and some were obviously dressed in the style of subordinates, Lu Yao didn't know any of them, but each of them was very respectful when they saw Murong Xinyuan and Lu Yao, and they all stood aside and let the two go first.
It wasn't until he entered a compound that was more than twice as spacious as all the courtyards he had seen before that Murong Xinyuan slowed down, and occasionally when he met someone, he would take the initiative to go up to the eldest brother to greet him, especially one of the old men, Murong Xinyuan was polite to him, and only after watching the other party leave did he take Lu Yao to continue walking, Lu Yao guessed that this place should not be far from the meeting hall.
Sure enough, when he turned around a huge rockery that was four or five meters high again, and there was a feeling of covering the sky and the sun, Lu Yao saw a majestic, majestic and magnificent hall suddenly appeared in front of him, Murong Hu and two old men who looked very similar stood at the door of the hall, and behind them stood several middle-aged people who looked not much different from Murong Xinyuan.
When Murong Hu saw Lu Yao coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "The old man has been too busy in the past two days, is Xiao Lu still comfortable living in my Murong Villa?" ”
"Hu Lao is polite, this is really the mansion of the gods, ordinary people are living for a day and it is unforgettable, thanks to Hu Lao will not give up, let the younger generation for two days, the younger generation has been grateful." Lu Yao also said with a slight bow to the three old men and the middle-aged people behind him.
"That's good, that's good, let's go, let's go into the hall." After Murong Hu finished speaking, he naturally took Lu Yao's hand and walked into the conference hall first.
All the decorations in the council hall are antique, obviously carved from fine wood, especially the Taishi bench facing the door is even more imposing, making people have an urge to sit on it and experience it, but Lu Yao knows that that position is not something that can be sat on casually, obviously Murong Hu is the leader of this family, and only he is qualified to sit there.
However, Murong Hu also paid enough attention to Lu Yao, he asked people to prepare a high-backed mahogany chair that was also tall and comfortable, and placed it in a slight position on his left hand side, inviting Lu Yao to sit down, while the other two old men sat on the chair on Murong Hu's right hand.
"Xiao Lu, let me introduce to you, these two are my second brother Murong Qing and third brother Murong Tang, and this time I also came to thank you for curing Wen'er's strange illness, and also recaptured the stolen Divine Dragon Wood for my Murong family from the hands of the thief Zhu Lao Jiu." After Murong Hu sat down, he immediately introduced the other two old men to Lu Yao.
Although Lu Yao is Murong Wen's benefactor, he is a junior after all, so he immediately got up at this time and greeted the two old men, and the two elders also got up to return the salute.
After Murong Hu saw that a few people had greeted him, he said to Murong Lang, who was standing at the outskirts of the door, "Lang'er, you give those two prepared potions to Xiao Lu." Then he turned to Lu Yao and said: "For the sake of insurance, I will prepare two pills, Xinyuan will take one pill first, if Xiao Lu you think there is no problem, then take another pill immediately, I wish Lao Jiu's mouth The poison quenched on the nail is violent, and it will not be good for a long time." ”
Although Lu Yao and Murong Hu's father and son had a short contact, but in the rivers and lakes, the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
Seeing this, Murong Lang brought a tray with two small vermilion pills to Lu Yao, and Murong Xinyuan also walked over after him, and said, "The two pills are generally the same, Lu Shaoxia can choose one of them first, and then I will swallow the other pill to test the medicine for Mr." ”
Lu Yao exuded his divine sense, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and the two pills did look exactly the same from the outside, so he picked one at random and held it in his hand to look at it.
Murong Xinyuan saw that Lu Yao had selected one of the grains, so he directly picked up the other one left in the tray, raised his head, and swallowed it in one gulp, and there was an obvious swallowing action at the Adam's apple.
After waiting for a minute or so, Lu Yao followed Murong Xinyuan's example and swallowed the vermilion pill in his hand.
In fact, Lu Yao could have not swallowed it, in fact, the poison quenched by the nail in Zhu Lao Jiu's mouth was indeed violent enough, Lu Yao was also careless at first, and Lu Yao had already cleaned up the toxins in his body in the past two days, and swallowing the pill at this time was completely to let the other party not be overly vigilant about himself, after all, Lu Yao was not clear about the strength of Murong Hu and Murong Qing and Murong Tang beside him.
"Xiao Lu, let's talk about what you told me earlier!" Murong Hu watched Lu Yao swallow the pill, and said with a natural smile on his face.
Lu Yao nodded in agreement.
