I told me about the forbidden land, and Magu praised me, but then she said something that surprised me.

Magu said: "You go to the top of the Liu family and ask them to build a ring, and talk about the selection of Keqing, and start in advance." ”

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect this to be the case, Magu said before, he proposed to hold a guest selection, so that I could become a guest secretary of the Liu family, I thought there was still some time, but I didn't expect it to be so urgent.

I asked, "Magu, is it too hasty, I'm not ready yet!" ”

Among the big families in the provincial capital, the selection of Keqing is very grand, because every Keqing has very big rights, Zhou Da of the Tian family, He Lao of the Bai family, and even the head of the family has to respect them, and the Keqing himself not only needs to be strong, but also has to be inspected many times to ensure that he knows the root and is not a spy of other families.

The other big families all have four or five guest secretaries, but because the Liu family is the weakest, so far, there are only two guest secretaries, one is Magu, who is in charge of all the affairs of the Liu family, and the other is a guest secretary, whose position is a little awkward, was elected by the Liu family, wanting him to suppress Magu and prevent Magu from seizing the rights of the Liu family.

Magu smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, let you become a guest of the Liu family, I can do it with just one sentence, to hold this selection activity, you need to suppress some people, otherwise the plan cannot be implemented." ”

I understand a little that there are a lot of moths in the Liu family, especially Liu Zeming and others, in order to compete for the position of the head of the family, they do not hesitate to damage the interests of the Liu family.

I was puzzled: "Magu, if it weren't for you, the Liu family would have perished a long time ago, they don't believe you, why do you still want to help them?" ”

I still can't figure out this matter, in the provincial capital, there are many big families, what plan does Magu have, she can choose a powerful family, such as the Tian family, the Wu family and the Cheng family, but she chose the Liu family, and she is not only constrained to do things, but also not trusted.

Magu said: "You don't understand this, I have been in the provincial capital for so many years, one is that my father has avoided here, and the other is to pave the way for you, compared to other families, the Liu family is the easiest to control, and the weak family can give you the opportunity to exercise, you have to remember, in the provincial capital, I can protect you, but at the same time, I have to hone you, and when you leave the provincial city, it is when you face danger." ”

I nodded, Magu has good intentions, she has been operating in the provincial capital for many years, so she has the current situation, not to mention anything else, just arranging the spirit gathering array on the hill, you can get the spar, you can see Magu's scheming, it is simply heartbreaking for me.

I pushed the door and left, walked towards the residence, found Liu Hao, and asked him to take me over, and after some time at the Liu family, it was time to meet the senior management of the Liu family.

Halfway through, I asked Liu Hao, "Brother Liu, what is the origin of another guest in your family?" ”

Liu Hao didn't hide it, and said directly: "It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, although he has some strength, but he is not Magu's opponent at all, that Keqing is my third uncle, and they elected him, and if I want him to balance Magu, I have long seen him unpleasant!" ”

I asked, "How so?" ”

Liu Hao's father, now the head of the Liu family, trusts Magu very much and gives all the rights of the Liu family to Magu, because Magu is the pillar of the Liu family, if Magu leaves, the Liu family will be completely destroyed, but I don't understand, why do other people suppress Magu?

Liu Hao sighed and said: "The Liu family has reached the current point, not because of the struggle for power and profit, especially my third uncle, he cultivated his son and wanted him to compete for the position of the head of the family, but if Magu is there, the position of the head of the family can't run out of my hands, but the third uncle is unwilling and wants to fight to the death, and he doesn't dare to provoke Magu, so he can only do it in secret." ”

I sighed, to put it bluntly, this matter is still a matter of fighting for power, if the Liu family is ironclad, it will not end up in the current situation.

I asked, "Brother Liu, do you want to be the head of the family?" ”

Liu Hao shook his head again and again, "Only a fool is willing to be it, the position of the head of the family is completely burdened and unpleasant, my father is only in his forties now, but it looks like he can be in his fifties, he is busy all day long, if I am the head of the family, in less than a day, I will go crazy, I really hope now, my eldest brother comes back from the Chen family, I can't wait to give him the position of the head of the family!" ”

Liu Heng?

I squinted my eyes, when I saw Liu Heng for the first time, I felt that the other party was very scheming, if Liu Heng was the head of the family, it would be more suitable than Liu Hao, not that Liu Hao couldn't do it, but Liu Hao's personality was too free and easy, and he didn't want to be restrained.

The two of us were very fast, and went straight to the central area of the Liu family, and came to a classical building complex, which was very compactly arranged, and there were masters of the Bai family patrolling, but Liu Hao was there, these people did not stop at all, and the two of us walked in directly.

Liu Hao said: "Brother Zhao, my father is inside, you can go in by yourself!" ”

"You're not going in?" I asked in surprise: "Magu asked me to come over, and there is nothing else, it is to hold the guest selection, you don't have to avoid it." ”

But I didn't expect that Liu Hao still shook his head, his face showed a little sadness, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, when you see my father, you will understand!" ”

I didn't insist, so I went to the house, I knocked on the door, and an old voice came from inside, and without asking for my identity, I was told to go in.

I pushed the door in, a musty smell, rushed towards me, choked me with a cough, and looked into the room, the room was full of books, maps, and calligraphy, and in the center, there was a desk, where stood a figure, with his back to me, slightly hunchbacked, and very lonely.

With a pen in his hand, he kept drawing things on the paper, and without turning back, he asked directly, "What are you looking for me?" ”

I said respectfully: "Master Liu, Magu asked me to come over and discuss the selection of Keqing." ”

Hearing my words, the head of the Liu family was shocked, put down the pen in his hand, turned around, I was stunned, as Liu Hao said, the head of the Liu family is only in his forties, but he looks very old, the corners of his eyes, there are many wrinkles, and there is an inextricable sorrow between his eyebrows.

My heart trembled, the current situation of the Liu family can be said to be very embarrassing, if you are not careful, there will be a danger of extinction, the current appearance of the head of the Liu family is overworked, coupled with long-term worry, making him look older than his actual age.

I understand now that the reason why Liu Hao didn't come in was because he didn't want to see his father's appearance, even I, an outsider, felt a little emotional when I saw it, let alone my own son!

The head of the Liu family said: "You are Zimu, you said that Magu is going to hold a guest selection?" ”

I said respectfully: "Well, Magu asked me to come over, and I have to worry about the specific things, the head of the family!" ”

"It's okay, everything Magu explained makes sense, I'm going to inform the others, the guest selection can start in the afternoon!"

After the head of the Liu family finished speaking, he walked outside, I glanced at the things in the house, and found that the map on the ground recorded a strange place, and the spell on the table was written with three words: "Liu Pingtian!" ”

Liu Pingtian?

I froze in place, feeling that this name was very familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a short time, I thought for a while, and there was still no clue, so I shook my head and walked out, and found that the head of the Liu family left, and there was no Liu Hao outside.

I waited for a while, Liu Hao came back from outside, his face was very gloomy, came to me, and said angrily: "Brother Zhao, why did you come out?" ”

I said: "I'll tell your father about it, he went to inform the others, and the guest selection can be held in the afternoon, what's wrong with you, who is angry with you?" ”

In my impression, Liu Hao has a good temperament, and it is rare to see him angry, let alone have such an ugly face!

Liu Hao sighed and said: "Hey, don't say it, my third uncle's son came back from school and brought a girlfriend with him, with a good appearance, the two of us met just now, and kept showing off to me, which made me angry!" ”

"The girlfriend you brought back from school?"

"Yes, the name is very nice, it's called Xiaozi!"

My eyes widened and I exclaimed, "What? Small...... Xiaozi? ”
