Chapter 430: Condolences
"Gan Shao's news is really well-informed. ”
Outside the courtyard gate of the Yanhua family's mansion, Tang Jie looked at Gangu Yu, who was dressed in black, and sneered.
As if he hadn't heard Tang Jie's sarcasm at all, Gangu Yu nodded solemnly and said: "The old man drove the crane west, that was the loss of the entire salty barren continent, and it was like a bolt from the blue for me! I have always admired the old man, and as a junior, I should also come to see him off." ”
"Huh. Tang Jie smiled contemptuously, "Gan Shao has a heart, then please!"
The courtyard of Yanhua's house is a typical Chinese classical style, and Tang Jie led Gangu Yu and Lena through the corridor of nine turns, and finally came to Tang Lie's mourning hall. After receiving Gan Guyu's greetings, Tang Jie knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply sent the obituary out and built a mourning hall.
Gangu Yu soon saw Tang Chong and Tang Nuo in the mourning hall. Seeing that the two of them were fine, Gangu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but be puzzled. Yanhua's people arrested Tang Nuo just so that he could pay tribute to his father?
He quickly gave the two of them a look, and at the same time bowed in front of Tang Lie's tablet, put on a stick of incense, and then went to the wing room to rest under the leadership of the maid.
According to the custom of the salty desert continent, guests who come to pay their respects can stay at the filial piety house until the deceased is buried in peace, but generally only those who are extremely close to the deceased will choose to do so. But Tang Jie knew that Gan Guyu would not just come to serve the incense and leave, so he simply didn't bother to ask, and directly arranged a room for him.
Not long after Gangu Yu sat down in the wing, Tang Zhong walked in with Tang Nuo.
"What the hell is going on now?" asked Gangu Yu bluntly.
"Big brother's death, everyone can't sit still. Tang Chong also said bluntly, "To put it simply, many people in the clan don't want Tang Jie to inherit the position of the head of the family, so they want to support Arnold to become the new head of the family in Yanhua." ”
"So to speak. The person who kidnapped Arnold back to Yanhua was actually Tang Jie's opposition?"
Gangu Yu looked at Tang Nuo in surprise: "This is to use you as a gunman, and let you go to fight with Tang Jie! If you lose, Tang Jie will naturally not let you go." And even if you really bring down Tang Jie, you will only become a puppet family master in the end. I remember you're not interested in everything the Yanhua family, right?"
"It's a bit of a bad deal. Lena also chimed in, "Arnold, you should be planning to wait for the old man to enter the earth." Rest assured, the old man of West Florence and the royal family will arrive later, and it will be easy to escort you back to the academy. Even let everyone give you a witness, and it is not impossible for you to get out of Yanhua. ”
"For the position of the head of the family, I have decided to compete with him. Unexpectedly, Don Nuo said firmly.
Hearing this, Lena touched Donno's forehead: "Your kid is not sick, right?"
"Suffering?" Gan Guyu immediately realized the crux of the problem.
"Arnold has a childhood sweetheart named Li Yuanyuan in the clan, the daughter of an elder. Tang Zhong sighed and said.
Gangu Yu thought about it for a while, then nodded, "Lucas mentioned it to me before. This is one of the few friends Arnold had in his childhood, right?"
"Her father confessed to Tang Jie some time ago, and now the whole family is locked up in the family dungeon. Donno gritted his teeth and said, "I have to save her." ”
"So, you help that group of opposition parties bring down Tang Jie, and they let you rescue your childhood sweetheart?" Gan Guyu nodded slowly.
"Originally, I asked Lena to go to Guangyao City to find you, because I wanted to use the natural forest and the power of the royal family to rescue Arnold. Tang Chongchong smiled bitterly at Ganguyu, "But now it seems that I have to ask you for help." Find a way to bring down Tang Jie. ”
"This is the inheritance of the position of the head of the family, and it is most taboo for outsiders to interfere. Gan Guyu frowned and shook his head. "We don't seem to be in a position to help in this matter, but only to help more and more. ”
Tang Zhong hurriedly said: "That's not the case! Those elders who were dissatisfied with Tang Jie's faction took advantage of his conceit and forced him to make a bet. He will compete with Arnold for the position of head of the family. ”
"Competition?" Lena suddenly became interested, "Although Tang Jie is proud and conceited. But it's not so stupid, is it? For him, eighty percent of the position of head of the family is already in his pocket, so why should he make this bet?"
"If he still wants to have a complete Yanhua family, he must convince those forces in the clan who are not convinced of his defeat. Otherwise, Yanhua is very likely to be like Chongbang, gradually weakening in the civil strife. ”
Tang Zhong explained: "Of course. The most important thing is that Tang Jie thinks that he will not lose the competition at all. In fact, in all fairness, I also think that Tang Jie's chances of winning are much greater than Arnold's. ”
Lina suddenly had black lines on her head: "Teacher, do you want to be so ambitious and destroy your own prestige?"
"What Uncle Sixth said is true, Tang Jie's personal strength is indeed above me. Tang Nuo said matter-of-factly, "So I hope Brother Yu you can help me." ”
"No wonder you have to keep it a secret...... Let's talk about the rules of the competition first!" said Gangu Yu directly.
Tang nodded heavily: "The competition is divided into three games, and the best-of-three system is two-in-one. The first battle is a martial arts, that is, let Tang Jie and Arnold fight, and the rules of the battle are the same as the combat power assessment of the Wizard Academy. ”
"Let a new fourth-order mage deal with an old sixth-order mage?"
Lina suddenly felt a little big: "Although Arnold is a dual system of ice and fire, although our vitamin department is good at leapfrogging challenges, but that is Tang Jie, and he is also a genius magician who has taken the teacher's fire magic mastery course, and he is not an ordinary sixth-order miscellaneous fish!
"What if you don't allow it?" "Tang Jie can also choose to kill Arnold by 'missing', and then he will naturally become the only heir of the Yanhua family." ”
The corners of Lina's eyes twitched: "...... And what's the second match?"
"The opposite of martial arts is naturally Wendou. Tang Zhong said, "At that time, the two of them will draw questions from the prepared question bank to answer, and the one with the most correct answers wins." ”
"What types of questions are there?" asked Ganguyu.
"It is said that they are some questions that test mathematics and logical thinking. ”
Tang Zhong said: "It is worth mentioning that if both of them answer incorrectly or cannot answer in the fight, both of them have the right to ask the spectators for help. This one was added by Tang Jie, so I guess there should be a master behind him to help. ”
"But on the other hand, we may be able to help in this link. Gangu Yu said thoughtfully.
"What really needs your help is the third race. Tang Zhong said, "The third competition is to test crop planting. Although Arnold is not good at planting, and the whole competition can only be completed by him alone, I think Xiao Guyu should be able to think of a way to help him, right?"
"I'll do my best. Ganguyu thought for a moment and said, "But now, I have something I want to talk to Arnold about alone. ”
Tang Chong was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw that Lena had already walked out, he nodded and got up, and followed him out of the wing.
After only the two of them were left in the wing, Gangu Yu secretly used his perception technique to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, and then whispered to Don Nuo: "Arnold, what I am going to say next may make you feel very uncomfortable, but I hope you can listen to me......"
