Volume 2, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers Chapter 167 The Situation in Liu's Mansion
In the dimly lit hall, a figure sat above.
He was on a dragon's head with a cane, his beard was white, and his eyes were old and deep. The large chair made of deep-sea jade is slightly cold throughout, and the armrests are hard and calm. The chair in the hall of Liu's Mansion used to be only accessible to the head of the family. Today, he is finally sitting here.
When he was a teenager, he dreamed of the feeling of sitting on it. Fifty or sixty years have passed, and today I finally sit here with confidence and boldness. Looking at the many clan elders below, he suddenly felt ridiculous and lamentable.
The ridiculous thing is the years, and the sad thing is that the old people are no more. If she had sat in this position back then, she would have let her die with regrets.
"It would be nice if Yun'er was still here. ”
Liu Batian lost his mind, and there was a touch of desolation in his smile.
The entire Liu Mansion knew that he, Liu Batian, had the ambition to seek power and usurp the throne. However, who knew that he had put down all his dignity and begged the person sitting in this position to let Liu Fu move a big medicine to treat his wife.
But because they were collateral, the old family owner of the year refused mercilessly. Let his head bleed, and there was no mercy. His beloved wife died of illness, and after that day, he vowed to let the entire collateral clan replace his descendants, and he must become the ruler of the Liu Mansion and dominate the entire Liu family.
"Father, the whole house has been controlled by us. What are you waiting for?" Liu Xuanguang's eyes flashed with a cold edge, and he said in a deep voice: "The last time that old puppet woke up the God King Ding, he was already seriously injured, and we were in control of the overall situation, why wait until next month?"
"It makes sense, how much has our side clan been suppressed over the years? Now that we have come to this point, what are you hesitating about?"
A clan elder stepped forward, his eyebrows were gloomy, and he raised his head and said, "We have been planning for so long, if we drag it on, it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be variables." ”
"That's right, when we take down these descendants, Liu Chang will definitely have to cast a rat trap when he appears. Moreover, with the support of Mr. Yun, even if Liu Chang dares to show up, he will fall. ”
Hearing his words, everyone's eyes fell on a figure in the corner. He was wrapped in a black robe, as if he had become one with the darkness, and no one else would have even been aware of his presence without the elder's reminder.
"The God King Ding is indeed powerful, but there is also a way to suppress it. If Mr. Batian is afraid of this, he can put a hundred hearts. ”
The black-robed man smiled, but his casual tone was full of confidence.
For his words, many clan elders did not question it. Liu Chang suddenly had an accident, it was the plan of this Mr. Yun, although the whereabouts of the former are unknown, but he must have been hit hard or had other accidents, otherwise he would not have not shown up until now.
These days, the collateral clansmen have completely controlled the situation inside and outside the entire Liu Mansion. Now, as long as Liu Batian is willing, he can immediately change the flag of the Liu Mansion.
"Now that the war in the Empire is urgent, the Eight Great Families will definitely accept the signs. The black-robed man continued to speak, and said slowly: "If Mr. Batian becomes the new head of the family, the one in the palace will definitely support it." After all, Liu Chang's attitude towards the imperial family was very indifferent before. ”
"Mr. Yun is right. What Liu Chang did, we all know. In recent years, he has not only been indifferent to the imperial family, but also refused to send people to invite him to meet him several times before. If you become the head of the family, you can help our Liu family repair the relationship with the palace. This clan elder was very old, and he hesitated and said: "In this way, the power of our Liu Mansion can be better developed, and it is not impossible to reproduce the glory of thirty years ago." ”
Many clan elders opened their mouths to persuade each other, all thinking that Liu Batian would become the head of the Liu Mansion as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if they control the Liu Mansion now, nominally they are still a sideline, and if the former becomes the head of the family, they can become orthodox.
At that time, if you can seek the will of Emperor Qian, you can directly expel the remaining descendants in the future.
Liu Batian leaned on the dragon's head crutches, and a thoughtful look appeared. According to the situation, now all the Liu Mansion has been controlled by the side department, but Liu Zhang, Liu Zhou and others have not yet controlled it.
Liu Zhou is now a wasted person, but Liu Zhang can urge the God King Ding, he knows best about this ancestral killing weapon, last time it was just a wisp of revival of breath, and almost razed the entire Liu family to the ground, if Liu Zhang urged it regardless of the consequences, then their side clansmen may have huge damage.
What Liu Batian wants is a strong Liu family, not a withered family. As for Mr. Yun, who has an unpredictable background, although he believes that the former has a way to suppress the God King Ding, the price paid is definitely not low.
He and Mr. Yun have been in close contact with each other, and they can't figure out the details of each other until now. Not only is the background mysterious, but it's also extremely powerful. How can such a character help himself and others for no reason. Because of this, it is the reason why Liu Batian has not made up his mind for a long time.
"Let's decide this matter in two days. After pondering for a long time, Liu Batian shook his head and rejected everyone's proposal. The most important thing he lacks now is time, if the majority of the votes pass the resolution at the meeting of the elders of the council clan next month, he can also justifiably become the head of the Liu Mansion.
At that time, even if Liu Zhang wanted to have a seizure, he couldn't find any reason.
"Father, I'm afraid that something will happen later. Liu Xuanguang frowned, his father has always acted neatly, but today it seems a little abnormal.
"Batian, Xuanguang's words make sense. ”
......
Many clan elders spoke one after another, and they all persuaded Liu Batian to do it earlier.
"Isn't my words working?" Liu Batian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint essence light was revealed between the opening and closing. He snorted softly, and the whole hall trembled.
"You are not allowed to do anything without my orders. With these words, he left the main hall on the dragon's head crutches.
"Xuanguang, what does your father think?" an old man asked Liu Xuanguang with a frown.
"I don't know. Liu Xuanguang's face was gloomy, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with his father's decision.
"Looks like you still need to persuade Mr. Batian. Suddenly, a faint voice sounded.
Mr. Yun, dressed in a black robe, didn't know when he appeared in front of them.
Liu Xuanguang's pupils contracted, and after reaching his realm, it could be said that both cultivation and perception could be incomparable, but the other party was so immobile and close, if he used such a method during the battle, it would definitely be fatal.
"My father has always been stubborn, and the decisions he makes now are difficult for anyone to change. ”
"It's hard for anyone to change?"
Mr. Yun, the black-robed man, smiled, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the depths of his eyes.
"What is Mr. Mo Feiyun's idea?" asked the old man next to him, sensing the deep meaning in the black-robed man's tone.
"I don't have a big idea, but I have a small idea. I don't know if you'd like to give it a try. The black-robed man's eyes flashed.
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
With a smile, the black-robed man leaned over and said what he thought of. Hearing this, Liu Xuanguang and the clan elder both had happy colors on their faces.
In the past few days, the friction between the descendants and the collateral families in the Liu Mansion has become more and more serious. Although the elders of the side line did not come forward directly, the younger disciples were violent, humiliating the young disciples of the lineage who were not used to seeing them in the past.
Many people were aware of the tense situation in the house, and there were a few people talking about gossip a while ago, but on the second day, they were cut off by the cold black-armored guards, and for a while many people were trembling and did not dare to discuss any related topics.
Fluttershy stays in the courtyard, her originally good-looking face becoming a little haggard. She stood on tiptoe and looked out of the courtyard from time to time, expecting that the young master, who had been away for a few days, would come back early. Liu Yang and Liu Si left privately without anyone noticing. Therefore, she would deliberately make some food every day and send it into the courtyard, so that some people would see it and think that this young master of the Liu Mansion was cultivating hard in the house.
"The young master has been gone for eight or nine days, why hasn't he come back yet. Fluttershy's eyes are dark, and her supple hair falls to her shoulders, making her look a little messy. She was already extremely good-looking, and now although she is a little lost, she is a pretty little beauty sitting on the stone bench in the yard.
"Fluttershy is bad!"
Suddenly, a figure stumbled and ran away.
