Chapter 263: The Five-Year Covenant (2)

"Hiss......"

The boiling water is poured into the cup, and the tips of the turquoise tea leaves tumble up and down with the water waves, which is very beautiful.

"Cousin, please have tea." Tang Rouer made a pot of good tea with her own hands, poured a cup, and handed it to Tang Qiyi.

Tang Qiyan took it, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Little sister, you are more and more aware of enjoyment." ”

smiled slightly, and a happy smile appeared on that beautiful face, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, making people dizzy: "Cousin, we are all a family, and my little sister will not go around in circles with you. ”

Tang Qiyi's eyes drooped slightly, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, although he knew that they were cousins, but in the face of such a stunning appearance, he still didn't dare to look more.

Since Tang Rouer got married, she has washed her past youth and added a few points of beauty out of thin air, such a superb, as long as it is a normal man, it is inevitable that he will think about it.

Of course, Tang Qiyi knew that although he and Tang Rouer were cousins, if it was about the harmonious relationship between relatives, it was far inferior to Xiang Zhi and Fang Yingying.

It was Tang Rouer who took the initiative to find him today, and she must have something to discuss, rather than pulling him to talk about some family life.

He smiled slightly and said, "Where did the little sister say, since we are all our own family, then your business is the little brother's business." As long as you give me an order, my little brother will naturally do it for you."

Tang Rou'er got up, gave him a gentle blessing, and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Then, she turned around and picked up a stack of account books from the table, handed it to Tang Qiyi, and said, "Big brother, please see, this is what my father handed over to my little sister before he died." ”

Tang Qiyan was taken aback, picked it up, flipped a few pages casually, and his eyes immediately changed.

After a while, he gently closed the account book, Tang Qiyi's eyes regained his composure, and said, "I don't know what the little sister has to tell her brother about this, what is her intention?" ”

Tang Rou'er's melodious and crisp, lark-like voice sounded in the room: "The industry, jewelry, and manpower here have accounted for about thirty percent of the entire family. She paused, and her face was sad for a moment: "This is the last bit of heart that Daddy left for her daughter." ”

Tang Qiyan wanted to speak and stopped, pondered for a moment, and finally sighed, and said, "Since this is my uncle's deathbed, then I will follow it for my brother." ”

Since Tang Zonghan passed away, after he took over the Tang clan, he unexpectedly found that the money and manpower he could mobilize in his hands was indeed much less than that of the Fang and Su families. In this regard, he has always been puzzled, is this three major families in the world are far apart.

It was only at this time that he knew that Old Man Tang had privately withheld nearly thirty percent of his strength and money. At this time, even though he was very angry, but the wood was already in the boat, and it would be extremely difficult to ask for it again.

Not to mention that Tang Rou'er still has the powerful military force of Xu Haifeng and the Black Flag Army behind her, even if it is her mentor Li Yan Boli Grand Master is not a master to be messed with, if she annoys this great god, with his cultivation at the level of a grandmaster, it is unknown whether he will do anything out of the ordinary.

Instead of completely breaking with Xu Haifeng for this unsuccessful thing, it is better to push the boat along with the current, and you can also sell personal favors to leave a little room for future meetings.

In this short period of time, he had already figured out the stakes and made a decision. Even if Tang Zonghan came back from the dead, it was nothing more than that.

He took a deep breath and calmed down his excited chest, at this moment, he was extremely dissatisfied with Old Man Tang's decision, and he could even be described as disgust.

Fang, Tang, and Su have always been known in the world, and the three major families also have a tacit understanding, although their respective strength is high or low, but on the whole, it is not far apart.

It's just that Tang Zonghan suddenly played such a hand before he died, which immediately caused a very embarrassing and dangerous situation for him.

It's just about that money, although Tang Qiyan also likes money, he likes power even more. He knew very well that only by gaining more power could he rightfully attribute more money to his name.

Money, after earning it, is used to spend and enjoy. He is not a miser who regards money as his life, if he is really such a person, Tang Zonghan will definitely not pass on the position of the head of the Tang family to him.

What Tang Qiyi values is those people, those who have a strong relationship with Tang Zonghan.

Unlike Xiang Ming and Su Chunwei, Tang Qiyi is only Tang Zonghan's nephew, the so-called father's inheritance and son's inheritance, if it weren't for Tang Zonghan's childlessness, the throne of the Tang family's suzerain would not have been his turn anyway.

Although he is already the head of the Tang family at this time, whether it is the background or the name, it is far less convincing than the first two.

After Tang Zonghan's private deduction, the strength he can control is even more unbearable.

Although the strength that can be mobilized in his hands is enough to make most people look beyond him, compared to Fang and Su, who are standing on the same starting line, he is particularly weak.

Tang Rou'er's gaze stared into the distance, and the corners of her beautiful mouth turned up slightly, as if there was a hint of unexpected mockery: "Cousin, my father passed this thing on to me, but I just asked my little sister to keep it on my behalf." ”

Tang Qiyan was slightly surprised, and his thick eyebrows raised high: "What did you say?" ”

"Daddy let the little sister keep it for five years, and then transfer it to my cousin after five years."

"Five years, why?"

"Because Daddy can't bear to see his most beloved daughter against the family."

Tang Qiyi's starry eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with a palpitating light.

Although Tang Rou'er's words were vague, Tang Qiyi couldn't understand it.

Back then, when Xu Haifeng and Tang Rouer first met, they were just nobodies with no ambitions. It's just that Tang Zonghan never expected that after Xu Haifeng returned from the Xiongnu envoy, he immediately had the intention of rebellion. And this ambition swelled so fast, so big, that he never expected.

If this development continues, one day, Xu Haifeng will be the enemy of the three major families because of his interests.

Once that happens, how will Tang Rouer, who is caught in it, deal with herself.

On one side is the family that he has guarded for decades, and on the other side is his most beloved little daughter. The trade-off between the two made him undecided and difficult to make up his mind.

In the end, he still made a compromise method, took out thirty percent of the strength and money in the family, and deposited it in Tang Rou'er's hands first.

Tang Lao Shangshu's meaning is very clear, five years, he gave Xu Haifeng five years to prove himself, if during that period, he can hand over an answer that satisfies everyone. Then, the Tang family is naturally not a stubborn family, and the heir he chooses is not a person who does not know the times.

Tang Qiyan closed his eyes, and a huge wave had already set off in his heart that was far more turbulent than Shicai.

In the past few months, he, the head of the family, has been conscientious, following the rules, and not daring to be negligent.

No matter what era it is, especially in troubled times, everything must speak with strength. Since the strength in his hands is far inferior to that of people, he naturally has to be a man with his tail between his legs.

If...... If you can get Tang Rou'er's full support, if you can concentrate all the strength of the Tang family into your own hands. So, in front of him, will it be a different road?

Tang Qiyi's heart was beating wildly, and with the depth of his city, he almost couldn't hide the fanaticism in his heart.

He...... Tang Qiyi, how can he be willing to condescend to others.

After a while, he opened it again, and his tone was calm and firm: "Okay, it's five years, I hope that the little sister will be true to her word by then." ”

Tang Rou'er said softly, but firmly, and her voice slowly raised: "Cousin, just rest assured, the little sister is also surnamed Tang after all." ”

The figure flashed, and a tall man in scholar's costume suddenly appeared in the room.

Tang Qiyan was secretly shocked in his heart, and when he saw the face of the comer, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, took a step forward, took a deep look, and said, "Grandmaster Li, why are you here too?" ”

"Master......"

is very different from Tang Qiyi's cautiousness, Tang Rouer simply grabbed Li Yanbo's arm, and the affectionate look almost made people think that they were a pair of biological father and daughter.

Patting a pair of soft and boneless little hands that grabbed the sleeves, Li Yanbo looked at Tang Qiyi, and suddenly smiled: "Qiyi, the old man hasn't congratulated you on taking over the Tang family." ”

Tang Qiyi's face turned red and said, "Let you laugh all the time." ”

"Master, it's rare for you to come here, Rou'er will go and get you some new tea." Tang Rou'er whispered, let go of her hands, and left with a brisk pace with a smile.

Tang Qiyi's heart froze, Tang Rouer did this clearly under the pretext of leaving.

"Official, twenty years have passed in an instant, and now you are also the head of the family." Li Yanbo looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking that time was like an arrow, and he was embarrassed.

"Yes......" Tang Qiyan lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly, if he just looked at his expression at this time, no one would guess that he was the head of the Tang family among the three major families.

"Twenty years ago, when Zong Han brought you to see me, I knew that you had a big heart."

Tang Qiyan bowed his head deeply, he didn't have any excuse, because in front of him, it was Li Yanbo. Even a false lie that was ten thousand times more beautiful could not be concealed from his heart of a grandmaster who had already comprehended the realm of heaven and man.

"Although Zong Han has no children, the Tang family has you, and it may not be weaker than the Fang and Su families. You are not Zonghan's kinsman, but because of this, you are more cautious in doing things, and you have already learned three of them for humility and tolerance. ”

Li Yanbo turned his head, although his eyes were not focused on him, but Tang Qiyan knew that his every move, and even the change in mood, were in the old man's control.

"If it weren't for Xu Haifeng, or in other words, without the ability of his subordinates, maybe one day, the Tang family would really be able to stand at the pinnacle of all the families." Li Yanbo suddenly said unexpectedly.

Tang Qiyan's eyes suddenly burst into a ball of fine light, he raised his head, and a pair of eyebrows were already tightly pulled together: "Are you so optimistic about General Xu?" ”

The old man didn't answer his question directly, but asked lightly, "Do you know who proposed this five-year contract to Brother Zong Han?" ”

Tang Qiyi shook his head blankly, but he was stunned suddenly, and his eyes when he looked up at Li Yanbo were full of inquiry.

"Not bad." Li Yanbo sighed and said; "It was the old man's suggestion. Enlightened Officer...... The old man can guarantee that after five years, everything that should be the Tang family will belong to the Tang family, but before that, you have to do it yourself. ”

His eyes flickered, and he looked intently, the room was empty, and I don't know when, Li Yanbo had disappeared without a trace. Tang Qiyan stretched out his clenched hands, and there was already a water stain on the palm.
