Datang, Yecheng, Xiaojia.

Xiao Zhen is very entangled now, he is Xiao Xuan's father.

The old patriarch's name is Xiao Ding, and he has two sons, the eldest son Xiao Zhen and the second son Xiao Li.

The Xia family designed Xiao Ding to be seriously injured, and Xiao Ding summoned his two sons to the bedside before he died.

first summoned Xiao Li and asked him to assist his eldest brother.

Then summon Xiao Zhen, let his brothers be of one heart, treat the clansmen well, and lead the Xiao family.

Because in the eyes of the old patriarch, the second son was arrogant and stubborn, and his anger was too heavy, and he could only be a general, not the master;

When the old patriarch was arranging the funeral, none of the elders were around.

Of course, he knew that this was a taboo in arranging the aftermath, but he didn't mean to do so, he planned to arrange his two sons first, and then summon the elders over to ask for assistance.

However, he did not calculate the sudden attack of the poison, which robbed him of the only chance to see the elders at the last moment.

Before Xiao Ding could spread the order to appoint Xiao Zhen as the patriarch, he died suddenly, which made the originally simple and clear situation of the Xiao family suddenly complicated.

In Xiao Zhen's view, his father just made a verbal statement, and died suddenly before he could leave an edict to write for himself.

If Xiao Li raises his arms and exhales, and the forces of the Xiao family supporting him take the opportunity to make trouble, then he will fall into a state of fire and water.

At the same time, none of the elders accept the entrustment of the elders, and it is possible that all kinds of accidents may be born in the end.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhen gradually calmed down.

Both of them saw their father at the last moment, but the eldest brother saw his father first, when his father was still safe, and after the eldest brother left, he faced his father alone, but his father died suddenly, which was obviously not good for him.

If someone takes the opportunity to make a martyr, not only is he suspected of killing his father, but the perpetrator can declare that his father's edict is fabricated.

Thinking about it, Xiao Zhen was indifferent. Suddenly thinking that Xiao Xuan had returned, his heart warmed, and he walked towards his room.

On a bed in the middle room of the courtyard, a young man of about fifteen years old opened his eyes vaguely. He is the Xiao Xuan who escaped death and rushed back in the heavy snow.

A maid with delicate eyebrows sat on the side of the bed, stretched out her slender jade hand to pull the corners of her quilt, and her slightly erected chest looked very seductive.

"Young master, wake up quickly, get up and drink medicine. ”

The girl's tone was soft, slightly anxious.

Looking at the girl's cute appearance with a little hurry, Xiao Xuan's heart warmed, and he gently pinched her pretty face.

"Xiao Xuanshao.... Young Master......."

The maid's face flushed. Shy lowered his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan didn't feel it.

The thought of what had happened before made him feel uneasy.

"Hehe, Xuan'er, have you slept enough?"

There was a sound of solid footsteps, and a middle-aged man walked in.

The middle-aged man was dressed in black, his expression was not angry and arrogant, and a pair of sword eyebrows on his face added a bit of arrogance to him, he was Xiao Xuan's father, a strong man in the middle stage of gathering spirits, Xiao Zhen!

"Well, ahem......"

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and nodded.

"How?"

Seeing Xiao Xuan's face flushed, Xiao Zhen's brows furrowed slightly.

"It's okay, it's too cold on the road, and I'm a little cold. The pharmacist has prepared the medicine and can take it for two days. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen felt a hint of apology in his heart. Glancing to the side, he saw a small stove next to the bed.

The stove was pitifully small, and the firewood in it was about to burn out, and it was difficult to dispel the cold in the room.

"Why don't you come over with a bigger one?"

Xiao Zhen turned to look at Xuan'er, and there was a faint anger in his tone.

"It's not that Xuan'er refuses, the miscellaneous servant department has already promised to send the big stove, but Young Master Xiao Lin just happened to come to ask for the stove, and there is only one big stove, and he was forcibly asked to go by Young Master Xiao Lin......."

Xuan'er lowered her head nervously, trembling and speechless.

"Father, I can't complain about Xuan'er. How can I, a countryman with a sick and disabled body, enjoy the same treatment as my cousin Xiao Lin?"

Xiao Xuan waved his hand and laughed at himself.

"This Xiao Lin has a good talent, but his courage is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Xiao Zhen said coldly, with a cold chill in his eyes.

Turned to Xuan'er and said lightly:

"Go and bring the big stove in my room. ”

When Xuan'er heard this, a touch of joy appeared on her pretty face.

At that moment, he bent down shallowly, and immediately closed the door and walked out.

Looking at Xiao Xuan, who was lying on the bed with a thin body, Xiao Zhen's heart was filled with a trace of distress. Xiao Xuan is now fifteen years old, and his spiritual power has always stayed in the realm of the third layer of foundation building. This kind of cultivation speed couldn't be worse.

In the same year as him, Xiao Li's son Xiao Lin has now built the peak of the fourth layer of the foundation, and it is impossible to say that he will soon break through to the fifth layer of the foundation.

At the beginning of spiritual power cultivation, the first thing is to build a foundation. The foundation is divided into seven layers, and on the foundation, it is the spirit of attraction, and after the spirit is introduced, it is the gathering of spirits.

The competition between the disciples of the Xiao family was fierce, and in order to avoid the condemnation, indifference and ridicule of others, Xiao Zhen had no choice but to send him to the countryside.

Thinking that since he would not have any future in his cultivation, then let him live an ordinary life in the countryside, and he could also avoid many worldly disputes.

"Dad, why are you in such a hurry to recruit me back?"

Xiao Xuan was very puzzled in his heart.

After all, his move changed the lives of two people.

Xiao Xuan froze to death and asked the water to cross.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen's face was covered with a layer of cold, and he said coldly:

"Your grandfather was attacked by the Xia family, and the immortal died. ”

"What?!"

When Xiao Xuan heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

He carried Xiao Xuan's memories, and his grandfather left him a lot of beautiful memories.

And this beautiful memory made him empathize, as if he had experienced it himself.

Since he was a child, he had no mother to take care of, and his grandfather loved him very much.

His cultivation talent is poor, and his grandfather did not give up on himself. Teach yourself to read, teach yourself to write, tell yourself the truth of life, and talk about the ups and downs of his youth.

Although he has no maternal love, the grandfather who holds him in the palm of his hand is enough to make up for all this!

However, the grandfather who killed decisively in front of outsiders, but left the warmest side for himself, and just left?

After a long time, Xiao Zhen sighed lightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Xuan'er, the revenge of the Xia family, we will definitely avenge it. It's just that now, if you go outside, you must first settle ...... inside."

"How?"

Xiao Xuan heard what his father said, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Xiao Zhen shook his head with a wry smile and told Xiao Xuan his bitterness.

At this juncture, only his own son can make him feel at ease.

In this way, the key person at this moment is Erbo Xiaoli.

If he had no other thoughts, then everything would have been simple and straightforward.

If he has him in his heart, then the Xiao family is bound to be in civil strife. ”

Xiao Zhen nodded, very much in agreement with his analysis.

Although he and Xiao Li have a deep brotherly relationship, when he thought that Xiao Li's thought at this moment would determine the next safety of the Xiao family, he felt a trace of vigilance in his heart. And his father also said before he died that Xiao Li was very thoughtful.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhen suddenly felt a chill in his back, if this is the case, how should the situation be cleaned up?

As if seeing Xiao Zhen's worries, Xiao Xuan thought for a while, and then comforted:

"Father, don't panic at this time. It's useless to think about it, since grandpa personally gave you orders, then you will be famous. We should first see how Uncle Xiao Li chooses, and then look at the reaction of the elder group. If the second uncle of Xiao Li denies it, then you will not be defeated, father, at least in a balanced situation. It's just that I don't know, among the four elders of the family, which elders are facing you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen's face flashed with embarrassment, and said, "In private, there is only one third elder who has a good relationship with me. ”

Hold the grass.

This cheap dad is too miserable to mix in the Xiao family.

There are four elders, and only one elder supports it, which is still a joke.

"Dad, otherwise, we won't get involved in the troubled waters of the patriarchal dispute. After all, the position of the patriarch is a lot of and thankless. ”

Xiao Xuan instigated.

Xiao Zhen was slightly stunned, glanced at Xiao Xuan deeply, sighed lightly, and said:

"Xuan'er, do you really think that I am entangled in the position of patriarch just to inherit the old patriarch's will?"

"How?"

Hearing what Xiao Zhen said, Xiao Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart rose with doubts.

Xiao Zhen was silent for a while, and then said slowly:

"Your second uncle is ruthless and leaves no room for things, and anyone who does not follow his heart will inevitably die.

If he is made the patriarch, then my father and son will not be able to escape his persecution. ”

Hold the grass.

This Xiao Li is also too middle two, they are all members of the same family, and they actually like to play this set?

Xiao Xuan's heart was stirring.

If that's the case, doesn't that mean that as long as Xiao Li becomes the patriarch, then he will die?

And Xiao Li has such a good chance of winning?

His face twitched slightly, Xiao Xuan's heart sank, and he lost his voice: "What about the other three elders? Could it be that they all support Second Uncle Xiao Li? If this is the case, things will be in trouble." ”

After a little groaning, Xiao Zhen shook his head and said, "Not really." As far as I know, the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder have a good relationship with Xiao Li. And the respected Great Elder, who blows his beard and stares at him on weekdays, is too lazy to pay attention to the two of us. ”

"In this way, if the second uncle Xiao Li has bad intentions, then the choice of the great elder is the key to who can serve as the patriarch. ”

Xiao Zhen nodded slightly, his face was embarrassed, and said:

"Although the Great Elder is highly respected, he does not care about the affairs of the clan, and unless we get his help, we have no chance of winning. ”

"Does the Great Elder have any weaknesses that he can take advantage of?" Xiao Xuan asked urgently.

If you want to win over someone, the best way is undoubtedly to know what he needs.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, there is, but I can't do anything." ”

"What is it?" Xiao Xuan's heart jumped, and he felt that there was still a chance to turn the tables.

"The Great Elder has a granddaughter named Xiao Xun'er. The person is well-behaved and cute, but unfortunately, she was poisoned by a poison called demon wolf poison. ”

Xiao Zhen sighed lightly and said lightly.

"Demon wolf venom, what is that?"

"It is an extremely difficult poison, and those who fall for it, if nothing else, will die. Your grandfather is a strong man in the Spirit Gathering Period, but after being hit by the Xia family's wolf poison arrow, he couldn't survive it after all, and he died of poison.

That kind of poison can only be solved by some high-grade alchemists by refining some special pills.

But our Yecheng is located in a remote area, and the imperial court is unwilling to set up an official residence here, so where can we find an alchemist?"

Xiao Zhen raised his head, and in his complicated eyes, he was a little unwilling and a little helpless.
