Chapter 273: Dark Tide

Ximen Zang was not stupid, he saw the fat man's thoughts, and said that the two hit it off at first sight, and insisted on inviting the fat man to Ximen's house as a guest.

The fat man first pretended to refuse, but he had no choice but to be gracious, so he went with him half-pushed.

The two of them have their own ghosts, and their cooperation is very tacit. Even if Chen Ling'er has a great reluctance, he can only watch them leave, Ximen Zang's visit to the Chen family is to test the truth, and now it is determined that the treasure theft has nothing to do with the Chen family, of course he has to go, half of the fat man is the beauty of adults, and the other half is not to want Wang Hao and the Chen family to get too close.

Wang Hao only came out of Ximen's house not long ago, of course, it was impossible to go back, and after leaving Chen's house, the two immediately parted ways.

"The head of the family, Ximen Zang is clearly ill-intentioned, why don't you stop him?" After all, it is a girl's heart, Chen Ling'er was put on a fat face, and her heart was sour.

"Oh, what are we stopping Simon from hiding? Don't let him go, or don't you let him take the fat man? We don't have this right, and besides, he is the head of the Simon family after all, and we have to give him some face for everything. The head of the house sighed and asked thoughtfully: "What about you, why are you targeting Ximen Zang today, this is not like your style, let's say, what are you hiding from me?" ”

"How dare Ling'er hide the head of the family. However, the incident happened too hastily and there was no time to report it to the head of the family. Chen Ling'er sent people to spy on intelligence, """ came out, there was still a lack of evidence, who called the fat man and Ximen Zang sang and harmonized, so they simply sat down.

Far from being angry, the head of the Chen family burst out laughing when he heard half of it. "This Ximen Zang, he is getting older and older, but his courage is smaller than before, no wonder, the Ximen family has withered over the years, and there is also a scum like Ximen Qing. Even the family's reputation has been blackened. Ximen Zang is worried that the status of the family will be shaken, and it is understandable that he uses some extraordinary means. I think he was also a well-known figure at the beginning, but for the sake of the family's affairs, not only did he delay his cultivation, but even his momentum was not as good as before, but it was a pity. ”

There was a sense of sympathy between the words. Not only Ximen Zang, thinking about it back then, how could he not be a leader for a while, otherwise how could he stand out among many children and become the head of the family. But to be the head of the house, you have to learn to be restrained, learn to calculate, and even be despicable, and smooth out the edges and corners. You can no longer do whatever you want and indulge in life as you used to be. As the head of the family, he can understand Simon's difficulties.

Chen Ling'er frowned, puzzled: "Isn't it shameful to use despicable tricks?" ”

"This kind of suffering, it is difficult for people who are not the head of the house to understand, if you are asked to be the head of the house. There are two paths for you to choose from, one is for the family to rise, and you have to use all kinds of means, including despicable ones. The other is to be alone, which one will you choose? The head of the family said lightly the helplessness of the superior.

Chen Ling'er did not answer, but fell into deep thought. It is not difficult for her to figure out the truth when she is clever, but whether she can accept it or not is another matter, anyway, it is impossible for her to be in the company of people like Ximen Zang.

The head of the family laughed and said, "If you want to sacrifice." I'm enough for one person, and the four major families have all sent their eyes and ears to investigate their opponents. The Chen family also sent people to investigate the Ximen family, so I knew that the Ximen family's treasure room had been stolen, and Ximen Zang suspected that we had done it, so he suddenly visited. In addition, he also dealt with the Tuoba family, but Ximen Zang covered it up well, so very few people knew about it. But I believe that everyone in the four great families knows it. Now that the Tuoba family has been beaten back to its original form, Ximen Zang's ability to do things without panic is enough to prove his means. ”

"It's a shame that he is still one of the four major families, and he actually took action against the Tuoba family, and he is not afraid to laugh and be generous." Chen Linger's pretty face was full of disdain, and it was disgraceful to bully the weak anywhere, although many people did it.

The head of the house shook his head. "Ximen Zang Mingli is to suppress the arrogance of the Tuoba family. In fact, it was an attempt to alchemy, and the rapid rise of the Tuoba family was due to alchemy. ”

Hearing the three words of alchemy, Chen Linger's eyes lit up. "Did they succeed?"

Poor tryers usually regard refining the first pill as a success, and there is no guarantee that the subsequent alchemy will also succeed.

"Probably a success, right? They gave Qingcheng a Dust Tribulation Pill, and they were invited to participate in the Kunlun Festival because of this. "The head of the Chen family, who lives alone, has a deep understanding of the actions of the Xiuzhen family.

"Despicable!" Chen Ling'er didn't know whether to scold Ximen Zang for his shamelessness, or whether the Tuoba family flattered Xuanmen.

"On the surface, the four great families support each other. In fact, they are fighting openly and secretly, and they are mutually restricted. No matter who takes drastic actions or has a breakthrough in strength, it will cause the remaining three to attack in groups. Therefore, no one dared to act rashly, originally stability is good for everyone, this balance was maintained for a thousand years, until a hundred years ago before the end of the disease, the head of the Wang family, although he did not dare to challenge this rule, but thought of an ingenious way to break the balance. At that time, the Wang family produced two fairy-looking women, both of whom were unmarried, and the Wang family asked one of them to marry into the Zheng family and the other into the Chen family, and through this method, the Ximen family was squeezed out of the game. ”

"Marry into the Chen family." Chen Ling'er muttered to herself.

The head of the family seemed to be able to see her thoughts, and said bluntly: "The woman who married into the Chen family is your mother." Whoever is squeezed out of the game will also feel the crisis, although the Wang family has not taken action. Ximen Zang is still walking on thin ice. ”

"Since the Simon family is gone, why should we give him back face?" Although Chen Ling'er sympathized with the weak, thinking of Ximen Zang's face, she changed her mind.

The head of the family did not answer her question, and asked with a smile: "Why do you think the Wang family should reject the Simon family?" What about the Chen family or the Zheng family? ”

Chen Ling'er hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Maybe it's because the Ximen family is the weakest, right?" ”

"On the contrary, it is because the Simon family is the strongest, and the decline is the result of exclusion. The wolf ambition of the Wang family, using the two daughters who are like flowers and jade, has shaken the status of the Ximen family, if they are allowed to succeed, I don't know who will be unlucky next. Besides, the Ximen family is now unlucky, but in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, with Ximen Zang's ability, sooner or later there will be a day when he will turn over, and at that time, he will either restore his balance again, or he will settle accounts with the Wang family. The matter was provoked by the Wang family, why did the Chen family act as villains in vain? Even if I put everything aside, I can't do anything that falls into the ground. ”

The last tone of the head of the Chen family suddenly changed, and he said kindly: "Ling'er, I don't mean anything else to tell you about these past events, first, so that you can see the facts clearly, and it is wise to maintain the relationship with the Ximen family; The second is to tell you that the past has nothing to do with you, and you will always be the daughter of the Chen family. ”

Generally speaking, the women who marry will be isolated, and they must not meddle in the affairs of the family, even their children, and the head of the family will inform Chen Ling'er in secret, obviously to break the taboo.

The head of the family was well-intentioned, but for Chen Ling'er, this must be a heavy blow. The mother is a bargaining chip for exchanging interests, and she is a child born of a bargaining chip, how embarrassing her identity is, even if she walks on the road, those kind eyes in the past feel that it is not a taste now. Blood is thicker than water, and a simple surname contains too much meaning, especially in a place like the Xiuzhen family, where blood connection is more important than anything else.

The next day, Chen Ling'er said goodbye, she didn't want to leave the Chen family, let alone return to the Wang family, in fact, for the Wang family, how could she not be an outsider? After all, her surname is Chen, and she has nowhere to go.

Sometimes ignorance often makes people happy, watching the children discuss their cultivation experiences, and from time to time there are people making trouble, the head of the family thinks so.

Ximen Zang's recent behavior has become more and more frequent, and the Wang family is not unrelated, after a long period of accumulation, the Wang family is getting bigger and bigger, and has long had the intention of breaking the deadlock, what is missing is an opportunity, or an excuse, I don't know if they will make a big fuss about the Tuoba family?

At present, the Ximen family is preparing to marry the Zheng family, and if it succeeds, it will definitely consolidate the status of the Ximen family. How could the Wang family give him a chance to breathe, and it was very likely that he would launch a denunciation under the pretext, and the head of the Chen family seemed to smell the smell of blood in the air.

Before the storm comes, everyone should be prepared, and I believe that when she comes back, Chen Linger has already made a choice. The Chen family not only eliminated the unstable factors in advance, but also added a fierce general, to be precise, two, Chen Suer and her sister have always been inseparable.

Late night wilderness.

Roast sheep on the bonfire, which was bought from the villagers, Suzhou is developing rapidly, it is not easy to find a wilderness, the fat man did not expect to be able to catch strange beasts, Rao is so, with outstanding craftsmanship, can also be roasted to yellow and shiny, the fragrance wafts out of the distance.

Unconsciously, Wang Hao is also accustomed to the life of the world, and the hustle and bustle of the city makes him feel uncomfortable. Cultivators are solitary animals, just like tigers, and if they live with others, they will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Master." The star language appeared, the armor made of fire-based cloth reflected the flames and danced, and the black hair hung down to the shoulders, and the beautiful eyes were as bright as the stars. In the dark, she was like a melancholy elf, beautiful and beautiful.

"What happened?" Wang Hao didn't care how she found it, and asked subconsciously. In my impression, the apprentice has never been melancholy now, and his current tone has never been.

didn't answer, the fat man found that her shoulders were swaying slightly, so he had to guess: "The demon girl can't be cured?" ”

This is the most practical answer, when Wang Hao said the method, he also knew that the chance of healing was very small, but after all, it was a glimmer of hope.

Apparently not, Xingyu is still crying. She's not a neurotic person.,Occasionally, sympathy overflows.,Definitely not to be sad for the demon girl to become this virtue.。
