Originally, after settling Liu Qingxuan's matter, Xia Yu and the others decided to return to Jinling again because of Zhuge Hou's abdication to make way for Xian, after all, this is a big deal, and Zhuge Hou also sincerely invited Xia Yu to continue to stay for a few more days, and it is not too late for Zhuge Ru to officially take over as the patriarch before leaving! Xia Yu thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement!

The next day, Zhuge Hou and the others acted very quickly, and soon set the date for Zhuge Ru to take over as the patriarch, and the people in the entire base also began to spread the news and began to build momentum for Zhuge Ru

However, the most strange thing for Xia Yu is that this news is known to everyone, but why did Zhuge Ling, another popular candidate for patriarch, disappear! Could it be that Zhuge Ling is really like the family rules of the Zhuge family, so he didn't choose and gave up decisively, so as not to fight in the same room? Thinking of this, Xia Yu shook his head unconsciously, Xia Yu, who had been with Zhuge Ling for a while, did not think that Zhuge Ling would give up so easily, but this also made Xia Yu feel a little sad in his heart, whether Zhuge Ru could ascend to the patriarch throne as he wished was not only Zhuge Ru's business, Xia Yu's immortal mode was also involved!

"Ling'er, you better give up!" Xia Yu's premonition was not wrong, in Zhuge Ling's residence, at this moment, Zhuge Ling's eyes were red and he was staring at Zhuge Zi with a hint of shame in his face, that is, the second elder of the Zhuge family and Zhuge Ling's mentor

Zhuge Ling couldn't fight Zhuge Ru to ascend the patriarch's throne, and Zhuge Zi couldn't help but sigh with pity in his heart, his own student. Zhuge Zi knows best. Both Wenzhi and martial arts are the best among their peers. But it is in response to the old saying: both Yu and Liang are born. Compared with Zhuge Ru, Zhuge Ling's performance is still a little flawed, at least he is still a little reckless in the world! And Zhuge Hou and Zhuge Qing are optimistic about Zhuge Ru, so Zhuge Zi, who is absolutely obedient to the Zhuge family, no longer object, and Zhuge Zi can't find a place to criticize Zhuge Ru's performance

"Master! Can you tell me why? Why did a father choose a big brother? Am I not good enough? In the days when the eldest brother went out, who conscientiously forgot to sleep and eat for the safety of the Zhuge family, and who always rushed to the front line when the monsters attacked the city? Why is the father so unfair? Zhuge Ling stared at Zhuge Zi expressionlessly, and said hoarsely, but a pair of red eyes completely exposed the unpeace in his heart

"Ling'er, you are very good!" Zhuge Zi looked at Zhuge Ling's expression. also knew that he was suppressing the anger in his heart and softened his emotions, Zhuge Zi comforted, "Really, the teacher never thinks that you are bad?" But what we need is a patriarch who can lead the whole way, not a vanguard who is good at charging into battle, you know? ”

"But the vain's strategy is not inferior to that of the eldest brother!" Zhuge Ling is not a dry road

"It's not a matter of strategy!" Zhuge Zi shook his head and said, "As the patriarch, not only must you have the momentum of Mount Tai collapsing in front of you without changing your face, but you must also have the mentality of dealing with things calmly!" And you're missing that! ”

"Really? Am I really not good? Why? Zhuge Ling lowered his head and muttered

"Idiot!" Zhuge Zi sighed, as Zhuge Ling's master, he knew Zhuge Ling's yearning for the position of patriarch for a long time, and after the end of the world, that yearning was even stronger, Zhuge Ling's character was like to control everything. After the apocalypse, the status of the Zhuge family has risen sharply, and the Zhuge Ling, who has a heavy desire for power, is even more unstoppable. Now telling him that he is not qualified to inherit the position of patriarch, the loss in Zhuge Ling's heart can be imagined, thinking of this, Zhuge Zi's heart softened and stretched out his hands to touch the top of Zhuge Ling's head

However, at this time, Zhuge Ling's body moved, raised his head and looked at Zhuge Zi's eyes exuding a thick sense of indifference, and the hideous expression made Zhuge Zi unconsciously withdraw his outstretched hands, looking at Zhuge Ling's expression, Zhuge Zi's brows wrinkled unconsciously

"I'm not reconciled! I've been waiting for this day for so long! Now tell me that all my previous efforts have been in vain? I'm not reconciled! At this moment, Zhuge Ling seemed to have changed into a different person, and there was a little resentment in his hoarse voice

"Humph!" Zhuge Zi said with some displeasure, "This is a matter decided by the patriarch and the elders, do you want to violate the clan rules?" ”

"Do you want to break the rules of the clan?" Zhuge Zi's voice hit Zhuge Ling's heart like a morning bell and a dusk drum, Zhuge Ling's figure couldn't help but tremble, the fierce flame in his eyes slowly faded, and his eyes only left a faint misery and a confused hollow, the clan rules are a kind of rule for the people of the Zhuge family, and they are also a kind of pride, and they are the most important magic weapon for the Zhuge family to continue to this day

"Hehe, I see! Second Elder, go back first! I'm not going to break the rules! Zhuge Ling smiled miserably at Zhuge Zi and said

"You!" Zhuge Zi originally wanted to reprimand Zhuge Ling in the name of his master, but looking at his current appearance, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and he didn't even notice that Zhuge Ling didn't call him a master, "Forget it, you can rest first!" The day after tomorrow is the abdication ceremony! As the second son, you also need to be there! ”

However, Zhuge Zi's words were exchanged for a silent Zhuge order like a vegetative person, and Zhuge Zi had no choice but to sigh and shake his head and leave here

Looking at Zhuge Zi's back, Zhuge Ling, whose face was pale, was at a loss at the moment, as if a good student who could have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University was suddenly issued a notice that he could not take the college entrance examination or that he could not be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University a few days before the college entrance examination, and the inner feeling can be imagined

Is there really no hope? Zhuge Ling asked himself silently in his heart, but why was he still unwilling in his heart?

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Report to the captain!" The escorts who went out to hunt and search for supplies are all back! There were no casualties! Please give instructions to the captain! ”

"Instructions?" Zhuge Ling sneered, paced and planned to go back to the room, but suddenly, his footsteps suddenly stopped, "Instructions?" ”

For a while, the footsteps in the room stopped, and the people outside the door still stood respectfully outside the door, this person was not from the Zhuge family, and even the hunting team that went out was not from the Zhuge family, and it was impossible for the Zhuge family to agree to let Zhuge Ling place the people of the Zhuge family in such a dangerous team, so these were all recruited by Zhuge Ling from among the survivors, and everyone was not willing to go outside to fight with the monster at the beginning. But when Zhuge Ling took care of their family with sincerity, some grateful men decided to repay the favor and joined Zhuge Ling's team, and soon became an indispensable force in the Zhuge family's armed forces

"Inform all the members that they have not gone out hunting for the past few days! You all stay in the base without my orders! Zhuge Ling's voice came from inside the door: "I want to surprise my eldest brother in the absolution!" ”

"Got it!" The person outside the door still spoke respectfully

"And inform the team members to distribute weapons and ammunition! Waiting for my orders at any time! Zhuge Ling said

"Yes!"

"Let's go down!" Zhuge Ling nodded with satisfaction, his eyes were already full of madness: clan rules? Hum! Since you are unkind, do not blame me for being unjust!

"Inform the second elder and ask him to come to me tomorrow night, and talk about the heart-to-heart talk between master and apprentice! By the way, let him come to us for dinner! After a while, Zhuge Ling's voice came from the silent room again

"Yes!" A woman's voice was heard outside the door

"Xiaoyu! You've got it right! And at this time, in Zhuge Ru's residence, Zhuge Ru said to Xia Yu with a bitter look in his eyes

"As the saying goes, power comes out of the barrel of a gun! I don't think your second brother would be so willing to obey the Zhuge family's decision! You must know that at least eight layers of force in the Zhuge family are controlled by your second brother! Xia Yu was not proud, on the contrary, he showed a trace of solemnity

"However, how dare the second brother violate the clan rules? Isn't he afraid," Zhuge Ru said with a wry smile

"Afraid? Afraid of what? Family rules are important, though. But people often abandon everything when they reach a desperate situation! Xia Yu said in a deep voice

"So what do we do?" Although Zhuge Ru is smart, he has no idea just like a Qing official who is difficult to decide family affairs

"It's easy! Will be calculated, in order to remain unchanged in response to all changes! Xia Yu's eyes flashed with a strange light (to be continued......
