"Xiao Xuan, why are you back again, isn't something missing?"

The Great Elder laughed, having said that, in his heart, he could faintly guess Xiao Xuan's intention.

Although, in his heart, Xiao Zhen is calm and thoughtful, and he is indeed the best candidate to serve as the patriarch.

However, today's inheritance of Xiao Li's kindness made him have to punish his heart.

"The Great Elder seems to be in a good mood, is there anything to be happy about?"

Xiao Xuan smiled faintly.

"Hehe, isn't it worth rejoicing that Xun'er successfully detoxified and restored her health?"

The Great Elder frowned slightly, unhappy with Xiao Xuan's prickly questioning.

Xiao Xuan gently rubbed the ring on his hand and said casually:

"If it is really completely exorcized, then of course it is worth rejoicing, but I am afraid that some people will only make superficial articles and delay people's lives. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room suddenly changed color.

The Great Elder frowned slightly, with a faint sense of anger, and said:

"What does this mean, young master?"

Xiao Xuan smiled faintly, looked at Xun'er, who had just been detoxified and still a little pale, and said:

"Take a silver needle and prick her three inches below her lumbar spine. ”

Hearing this, the Great Elder frowned slightly, groaned slightly, and said to the maid:

"Fetch the silver needle. ”

The maid was very efficient, and after a while, she got a silver needle.

The Great Elder held the silver needle in his hand, approached the bed, and said in a deep voice, "Only three inches below the lumbar vertebrae?"

"The demon wolf poison all over his body has been forced here by that master, and it is useless elsewhere, it is here. Xiao Xuan said lightly.

After taking a deep look at Xiao Xuan, the Great Elder didn't say much, and made a decisive move, instantly piercing the silver needle three inches below Xun'er's lumbar vertebrae, halfway through the needle, and slowly pulling it out.

And at the moment when the silver needle was pulled out, the Great Elder suddenly changed color.

At the tip of the needle, it had turned from silver to black, and a foul fishy smell permeated.

It's the devil wolf poison!

"Master Wang didn't completely expel this demon wolf poison at all, but only suppressed it temporarily, however, if this temporary suppression rebounds in the future, then Xun'er, I'm afraid it will really be in danger of life. Rubbing the ring gently, Xiao Xuan said casually.

"This Xiao Lin is actually looking for this kind of imposter to fool me!"

The Great Elder was furious and slammed the table, and under his terrifying force, the table instantly split into four petals.

Xun'er stared at all this blankly, her beautiful eyes were red, and she wept in a low voice, and the Great Elder sighed lightly, as if she was much older again.

"People are not dead, what is there to cry about?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder raised his head suddenly, he heard the meaning of Xiao Xuan's words, looked at Xiao Xuan with some burning eyes, and asked urgently:

"Do you have a way to save you?!"

After experiencing this previous accident, his opinion of Xiao Xuan has changed a lot.

Xiao Xuan smiled faintly, took out a pill from his arms, and handed it to the Great Elder.

When Xiao Xuan was in the countryside, he also had an adventure, and he inadvertently got a second-grade pill: Na Yuan Dan. Hearing that Xun'er was poisoned by the demon wolf, she rushed back from the countryside and sent Na Yuandan safely and unmistakably.

The effect of Na Yuan Dan must be known by the Great Elder if he thinks about it. ”

The Great Elder was slightly stunned, he knew the effect of this Na Yuan Dan.

Na Yuan Dan belongs to the second-grade pill, and only the second-grade alchemist can refine it, which can cure all kinds of poisons.

"If I can save the life of the little woman, I will write down the money of the little master. ”

Xiao Xuan waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "It's imperative to let Xun'er swallow Na Yuan Dan first and see the final effect." ”

Although he had full confidence in Bian Que, he was still apprehensive when he saw the poison of the demon wolf.

Xun'er nodded slightly, hesitated slightly, lifted her teeth slightly, and pinched Na Yuandan with her jade hand, swallowing it in her stomach at once.

The Great Elder stared at Xun'er, his eyes nervous and expectant.

A moment later, wisps of black mist slowly emerged from Kaoru'er's skin in the quiet house.

This poisonous mist, emitting a fishy smell, is disgusting.

However, when the people in the house saw this wisp of poisonous mist, they couldn't help but show ecstasy, they could be extremely familiar with this wisp of poisonous mist, this was the demon wolf poison!

In other words, the demon wolf poison in Xun'er's body was really dissolved!

More and more black fog drifted out.

Kaoru's face gradually turned rosy.

"Grandpa, I'm fine. ”

After the black fog completely dissipated, Xun'er looked at the Great Elder and smiled sweetly.

At the same time, the chivalry value on the ring has increased by 10 points.

"Kaoru, you're scared your mother to death. Xun'er was the first to react, pounced on it, hugged Xun'er, and choked up.

The Great Elder also trembled slightly, his eyes were red, and then he looked at Xiao Xuan and bowed deeply to her.

"Great Elder, the juniors can't stand your worship. ”

Xiao Xuan hurriedly helped him up.

"I don't say thank you for my kindness, I remember this kindness. The Great Elder said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Xuan. ”

Xun'er was excited, biting her red lips tightly, looking at the handsome young man with a tall body on the side, and couldn't help but have a strange appearance.

The next day, the Xiao family chamber.

At this moment, in the council hall, several elders of the Xiao family were waiting anxiously.

Now the old patriarch died suddenly, but he didn't recruit them to take care of the orphans. The ambiguity of the new patriarch makes all this confusing.

In the Tang Dynasty, where strength is respected, there is no tradition of standing tall and not virtuous. The heirs are either appointed by the patriarch or chosen by the body of elders.

The elders paced, and no one knew what to discuss. But even so, no one left the chamber, knowing that when power is transferred, unexpected changes can occur at any time.

Therefore, the backbone of the Xiao family was all recruited back and guarded in the council hall, which was the closest place to the power center of the Xiao family.

Right now, the elders and backbones of the Xiao family are all in a state of anxiety.

The Second Elder walked over to the Great Elder, intentionally or unintentionally, arched his hand, and said, "What does the Great Elder think?"

The Great Elder had gray hair and an extremely thin body, looking like a candle in the wind, about to burn and extinguish.

However, the spiritual power fluctuations that were inadvertently emitted from his body were not to be underestimated!

Although he is also in the middle stage of the Gathering Spirit, he has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Gathering Spirit, and he is only one step away from the late stage of the Gathering Spirit, and he is now the strongest person in the Xiao family.

And he is highly respected, has always acted fairly, and is quite respected by the Xiao family!

Even, as long as he wants to, he will come as the patriarch, and no one will object!

The second elder's request for advice was obviously to knock on the side and ask the eldest elder's position, but the eldest elder replied lightly: "The second elder often follows the patriarch, what do you have to say?"

It was a subtle counterattack.

Hearing this, the second elder felt a little embarrassed, smiled and said, "I am only a shallow learner, how dare I teach?"

Just as everyone was talking, a group of ironclad warriors walked to the outside of the council hall with neat and heavy steps, and lined up in a sonorous formation, guarding the courtyard outside the door. The armor is distinct, and the spear is shining.

The leader of the team is Xiao Li's subordinate general Xiao Wen!

Looking at this posture, the council chamber suddenly fell silent.

Several elders sweated on their foreheads, and their mouths were stammering, secretly guessing.

The old patriarch didn't ask them to be alone, what did Xiao Li mean by this?

For a long time, Xiao Li was in charge of the troops, and Xiao Zhen was in charge of internal affairs.

Although Xiao Li does not hold real power, he has been in the army all the year round, has a close relationship with the Xiao family's guards, and has a lot of prestige in the Xiao family's army.

At this time, the old patriarch passed away suddenly, if he raised his arms and shouted, wouldn't the army listen to him?

The most fundamental thing in the confrontation of power is to see who is in charge of the heavy army and who can win the support of the high-level.

Now that the Xiao family has died because of the death of the old patriarch, its comprehensive strength can no longer be compared to the Xia family.

If the two brothers want to meet each other, the Xiao family is really going to be in a big disaster!

After the formation of the soldiers, there was another heavy and hurried footsteps, and Xiao Li strode in with his eldest son Xiao Lin.

Xiao Li waved his hand, and two more rows of armor soldiers walked in, lined up on both sides of the council room. Each of them held swords in both hands, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

Xiao Li stood at the door of the council hall and shouted: "Everyone sit in their places and listen to the patriarch's edict." ”

Everyone hesitated for a moment and sat down on their coffee table.

At the same time, Xiao Li took out a roll of parchment from his bosom, carefully unfolded it, and read aloud:

"The old man was ambushed by the Xia family, and he was poisoned with arrows, and his time was short. Now Li Xiaoli is the next patriarch, and I hope that all the elders will do their best to assist, and those who have two hearts will be punished by everyone. ”

With Xiao Li's recitation, suspicion arose in the council hall, and the elders fell silent.

This is just an edict, and a verbal edict is not a real edict.

At this time, no one dared to obey the order. It was undoubtedly a foolish decision to take a stand too soon.

Not responding, not speaking, is at most a sin of disrespect.

And at this moment, there was another steady footstep outside the door.

Everyone followed the sound, and saw Xiao Zhen, who was dressed in black, walking in with Xiao Xuan.

"If this edict is true, Xiao Zhen should receive the order. It's just that this is just the old patriarch's edict. If the old patriarch has the strength to make an edict, then why don't you summon the elders over and ask Gu in person?"

Hugging his fists at the elders, Xiao Zhen said lightly.

This statement hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head.

Previously, Xiao Zhen wanted to convey an edict, but was rejected by Xiao Xuan.

If he also comes with an edict, then the next thing is for everyone to judge the two with suspicion. And if he just came to ask Xiao Li to prove himself, then everyone would only look at Xiao Li with a suspicious gaze.

Glancing at Xiao Zhen lightly, Xiao Li said coldly: "Father originally wanted to gather the elders, but who would have expected that after you entered, he would pass away suddenly." Don't you think you should give everyone an explanation?"

Xiao Zhen was speechless for a while, but Xiao Xuan could hear it clearly, Xiao Li was clearly stealing beams and changing pillars and changing the topic.

"Second uncle, you can't say that. Since you said that you wanted to summon the elders, why did the patriarch make a serious edict to you? At most, he would only convey to you the intention of making you the successor. Uncle forcibly explained, it's hard to convince the public!"

Xiao Xuan is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is indifferent.

Hearing this, Xiao Li's heart sank, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing.

The other party comes prepared, and if he continues to defend himself, he will be unwittingly dragged into a disadvantage.

Suddenly, Xiao Li's face was full of iron, and he shouted angrily: "The patriarch's last order, who doesn't obey, there is such a stone!"

With that, he strode back, drew his sword out of its sheath, the sword light flickered, and he swept past a stone pillar in front of the door!

Xiao Li sneered, and with a wave of his left hand, the upper half of the stone pillar made a loud "bang" and rolled down in front of the conference hall. The mirror-like incision under the stone pillar shimmers with the light of Aomori, making people shudder.

The two rows of armor soldiers shouted in unison: "Welcome to the new patriarch!"
