Chapter 20: The Survival of the Strong
(Officially signed, encourage a few recommendation votes, and there will be a change in the evening)
Although Shui Yunzhu was very unhappy with Lei Mo in his heart, he was a junior after all, so he had to put on a smile and say: "It's Uncle Lei, I took Xiaozhe out for a stroll today, and I heard that there are good things for auction in the auction house, so I came to see the excitement." ”
Shui Yunzhu had a thorn in his words, ironizing what happened just now, but Lei Mo's face was as thick as a city wall, and he was not hurt at all: "Alas, let Ah Zhu see the joke, these people under his hands always want to play tricks for some money, and they deserve it, this is also a lesson, I have ordered them to rectify the rules of the auction venue." ”
At this time, Lei Mo saw Nalan Zhe playing with the Ice Pearl Necklace of the Snow Country, and asked out loud: "What, Xiao Zhe, do you like this Ice Pearl Necklace?"
Nalan Zhe is not stupid, of course I can't say that I am going to use this to make soul condensing pills, so I just made up an excuse and said: "Yes, it is so comfortable to the touch, the eldest sister is coming back soon, I want to give it to her." It's too expensive, though, and I don't have any money. If you have money, I still want to give a string to Ling Nan, she must be very beautiful to wear. ”
"Ha Luha, Xiao Zhe is so hearty, Ling Nan often talks to you at home, saying that he wants to play with you. ”
Sometimes, Nalan Zhe wondered how a person like Lei Mo could open his eyes and talk nonsense so freely, Lei Lingnan wanted to play with him, and wanted to kill him.
"Okay, I want to play with Lingnan too. Nalan Zhe also said nonsense, thinking that nonsense is only authentic for the blind man to say.
Lei Mo smiled, stepped forward and said, "Ling Nan doesn't need to, there are many ice pearls at home, and she likes to drink the soup stewed with ice pearl powder the most." But Xiaozhe is so sensible at a young age, it's rare. Boss, wrap this string of ice pearl necklaces, count the money on my head, and give it back to you. ”
"Never!"
"Really, Grandpa Ray!"
Two voices came out at the same time.
Shui Yunzhu stepped forward again to block: "Uncle Lei, this is not good, how can Xiao Zhe take such a valuable thing, no, absolutely not." ”
Lei Mo disagreed, and said: "Ah Zhu, what is precious is not valuable, money is something outside the body." Xiao Zhe is so filial, this is also my blessing, he is still my grandson-in-law, and I will still point to him to honor me in the future. Ha Luha, Xiao Zhe, isn't it?"
"It's your mother!" Nalan Zhe said in his heart, but said sweetly, "Xie Lu Xie Lei Grandpa, Xiao Zhe is so happy." ”
Speaking of this, Shui Yunzhu couldn't say anything, so he could only thank him vigorously, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable, full of bitterness and anger that he was looked down upon, thinking that if it wasn't for Xiao Zhe, he wouldn't want to kill him.
Nalan Zhezhi Dao Shui Yunzhu, a person who reads the books of sages, will regard this as a great shame, but in his heart, it doesn't matter, when he doesn't have strength, he really doesn't need to emphasize dignity too much, sometimes in order to protect his family, friends, and faith, he needs to sacrifice something.
In order to condense the martial spirit, enhance his strength, and protect the Shuiyun family, he would rather bear these humiliations!
Lei Mo is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when he handed over the ice pearl necklace carefully wrapped by the boss to Nalan Zhe, he said in a voice: "Xiao Zhe, tell Grandpa Lei what you want in the future, Grandpa Lei has everything at home, Ha Luha." ”
After finishing speaking, Lei Mo and Shui Yunzhu said hello and walked away.
Shui Yunzhu's face was pale, and he took Nalan Zhe and left, leaving only the boss who was watching them go away behind his back.
"I didn't expect these two people to have such a strong background, I should have thought that this blind boy is Xiao Zhe of the Shui Yun family!"
......
Along the way, Shui Yunzhu was silent, feeling that the snow country ice pearl necklace in his arms was extremely heavy, and he didn't know how to explain to his father after he went back.
Nalan Zhe felt uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Zhu, are you blaming Xiaozhe for accepting this ice pearl necklace?"
"Alas!" Shui Yunzhu sighed, looked at Nalan Zhe and said, "How can Uncle Zhu blame you, Uncle Zhu blames himself for not being angry, he has neither the ability nor the money, so he will humiliate Lei Mo." ”
"Uncle Zhu don't take it to heart, if you love to humiliate people, you will eventually be humiliated back. This is the reason why Xiao Zhe accepted this ice pearl necklace. Now we have no capital, we can only do this, this ice pearl necklace is insignificant to Lei Mo, but it is very important to us, I don't accept it, it is not Lei Mo's loss, but ours. The Shuiyun Empire is a place where the strong survive, and the weak who love face will always be bullied. Nalan Zhe didn't know if it was appropriate for Lu Dao to say this at his five-year-old age, but he still couldn't help but say it.
Shui Yunzhu was no longer surprised by Nalan Zhe's precociousness, sometimes he really didn't know if there was a mature adult living in Nalan Zhe's body. Although he was reluctant to do so, he admitted that there was some truth in what Naranzhe said.
"Uncle Zhu, don't worry, I'll tell my grandfather when I go back. Now only the flame snails are left, and it would be nice if they could get them. ”
"Yes, today is indeed a good day, first I met Uncle Mao, and then there happened to be a golden beast horn sent by Lei Mo, and now Lei Mo sent a string of ice pearl necklaces, I don't know if it is providence. At this time, Shui Yunzhu's mood was a little better.
Nalan Zhe's mood was even better, thinking that Lei Mo was simply a professional household to send warmth, it seems that this person is not without merit!
Where are the flame snails found?
With this question, the two walked towards Yunmeng.
......
Before entering the Yunmeng, I first saw many carriages of different shapes parked outside, and even an elephant and two camels.
Are you some guests from out of town?" Naranzhe shook his head, his scalp tingling.
In the past few days, people from all over the empire have come to talk to Grandpa every day, and the things they said will naturally not be anything else, it is the matter of the Governor's Review Meeting two months later, in their opinion, it seems that Grandpa's resignation is a sure thing, and there is no confidence at all, no wonder the Shuiyun family will decline so much.
Walking into Yunmeng's living room, it was really densely packed with people, not to mention twenty or thirty, grandpa sat in the center, with a helpless expression.
"Chief, you really have to think of a way, if the chief audit meeting, you really ...... Alas, of course, we don't want that to happen, but the Lei family is now powerful, and if it really happens, our Lin clan will not have a good time in Shura City. ”
"Yes, Chief Chief, our Li family is the first to belong to the Shuiyun family, and over the years, we have been inseparable from the Lei family at the critical level, in case Lei Mo really ascends to the position of chief chief, he will definitely take revenge on our Li family. ”
"Our Beichuan family too, recently the people of the Lei family have been lobbying us to join their Lei family, we have not let go, not grateful for your care for us back then, but the Beichuan family up and down hundreds of thousands of people, as the patriarch, I have to consider them, if the situation really can't be changed, I have to lick this old face and negotiate with the Lei family, and I hope that the chief will forgive me when the time comes." ”
"You-" Shui Yunzhu heard these words as soon as he entered the door, and he was angry, "Back then, you were begging to belong to our Shui Yun family, but now that you are in danger, you don't want to help, and if you say something like this, have you forgotten how my father treated you?"
"Ah Zhu, sit down, it's no wonder to the patriarchs. Shui Yunze spoke out to appease Shui Yunzhu.
The patriarchs here are all people who have benefited from the Shui Yun family, and when they heard Shui Yunzhu speak like this, they couldn't help but lower their heads, but the situation is stronger than people, and there are still some things that have to be said.
"Chief Adult, we have heard about you and the Lei family, the cause is not Lei Moti, you should not allow it, according to me, in fact, it is okay to marry Miss Pear to Lei Polang, Lei Polang is young and promising, his talent is amazing, he is a martial arts wizard, and his future will be limitless, and Miss Li is a natural pair. ”
"Yes, the chief elder, so that you can continue to be the chief for three years, you can abdicate decently, and you can also repair the relationship with the Lei family, which is a great thing. ”
"It's really not good, you can also agree first, when the time comes, our Shuiyun family will be strong, you can withdraw from the marriage at any time, at that time, my Tianxuan family is willing to go to the door of the Lei family to discuss the divorce." What's more, maybe Miss Pear will be very satisfied with this family business when she grows up. ”
"It's not your granddaughter who dares to marry!" Nalan Zhe can calm down in other things, but as long as it involves Shui Yunli, he can't hold it back, and regardless of his identity as just a small adopted son, he stood up angrily and said.
Everyone didn't expect this yellow-haired little doll to say such a thing, and everyone was surprised.
Nalan Zhezhi said that although the Water Cloud Empire claims to have four major families, in fact, the real accuracy is that there are four major potential forces, which are customarily called the four major alliances, namely: the Water Cloud Alliance, the Thunder Alliance, the Wind Alliance, and the Ye League. Among them, the Thunder Alliance has the greatest power, followed by the Wind Alliance, the Water Cloud Alliance has gradually withered and declined in the past ten years, and has dropped from the first alliance of the year to the third, while the Ye League is the weakest and is on the verge of disbanding.
In the four major alliances, in addition to the four major families themselves, the other families that belong to them can actually flow. For example, the Tianxuan clan that spoke out just now is said to belong to the Feng clan a few decades ago, and later took refuge in the Ye clan, and after the rapid decline of the Ye clan more than ten years ago, it was attached to the Shuiyun family again.
But because the four major alliances have always had some disputes and grudges with each other, some families don't want to change their backers, such as the Li family, after taking refuge in the Shuiyun family, they have had several firefights with the tribes under the Thunder Alliance, so the problem is that even if the Shuiyun family is going to collapse now, the Li family can't take refuge in the Thunder Clan, because people don't accept it. At most, he can switch to the Wind Clan or the Ye Clan, but the Ye Clan is only more breathless than the dead, and his strength is so weak that he can't wait to be bullied, and although the Wind Clan's strength is okay, it is now an era when the Thunder Clan is the dominant family, and any family that dares to compete with the Thunder Clan will inevitably be suppressed by the Thunder Clan. Therefore, for some families, they can really only pin their hopes on the Shuiyun family, if the Shuiyun family declines, the lips will be cold.
"Can't you see it, in fact, marrying a pear girl or not has little impact on the situation, don't embarrass grandpa, there are only two ways in front of you now, either stand on the side of the Shuiyun family and fight to the end, or find a way out by yourself, the pear girl will never marry!"
If these words came out of Shui Yunze, it would be normal, but when they came out of Nalan Zhe's mouth, it would be too abnormal, what kind of thinking can a five-year-old child have, everyone was surprised, and felt incredible, although I had long heard that Xiao Zhe of the Shui Yun family was extraordinary, but this was too weird, was it really so precocious?
However, everyone here is the patriarch of the various clans on the powerful side, if Shui Yunze's face still needs to be a little more scrupulous, this little ghost's face, hum!
"This is Young Master Zhe, I heard that the little young master who beat the Lei family at the birthday party is very showy, it is rumored that it is because of Young Master Zhe that Lei Mo is ruthless. The person who said this is naturally not stupid, he knows that this matter has nothing to do with Nalan Zhe, but this kind of thing is easy to learn.
Some people speak more directly: "Adults talk about things, children talk about something!"
"Chief, what the little master said shouldn't be what you meant, right?"
Hearing this, Nalan Zhe was really angry, thinking that it was really a bunch of rice buckets, and they were flying separately when the disaster came, what use do you want you to do, and said angrily: "Everyone came all the way to Yunmeng, just to bully a child for a while? Everyone had better unite and get through this difficulty first, otherwise with Lei Mo's personality and style of acting, the next unlucky person must be everyone here!"
"Xiao Zhe, don't talk nonsense, just sit obediently. Shui Yunze said a word to Nalan Zhe, but he could hear it from his tone, and he didn't mean to blame, because what Nalan Zhe said was indeed what he wanted to say.
But the patriarchs are gone.
"What do children know, get out of the mud and play in the mud. ”
"Hmph, if you hadn't beaten Young Master Lei, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"
"A little ghost who picked up and dared to talk nonsense here, who do you think you are?"
Hearing this, Shui Yunzhu completely broke out, stood up, looked at the Lingnan clan patriarch who spoke, and shouted angrily: "What did you say!"
The patriarch of the Lingnan clan also decided to tear his face, and even responded: "Hmph, if it weren't for the efforts of our families, the Shuiyun Alliance would have declined like the Ye family, and Young Master Zhu has a lot of leisure, why don't you do something for the revitalization of Shuiyun if you have time?"
Hearing this, Shui Yunzhu was speechless in an instant, and he didn't know how to respond.
Shui Yunze sighed and said to the patriarch of the Lingnan clan: "Why bother, everyone has their own ambitions, I don't like to hear what you said." ”
But someone loves to hear it!
"Say it again!" Nalan Zhe walked towards the Lingnan clan patriarch step by step.
"What?" the patriarch of the Lingnan clan felt a little funny, what is this little doll doing, is it threatening?
"What I just said, you repeat it again!" Nalan Zhe felt an unprecedented anger, his fists clenched tightly, his palms crackled, although he was blindfolded, the anger on his face was enough to say everything, he tried his best to control himself, every step was very slow, it seemed that if he walked a little faster, he would rush up uncontrollably and punch this bastard!
"Little ghost, what do you want to do?" The patriarch of the Lingnan clan felt very funny when he saw Nalan Zhe's angry appearance, what can you do if you are angry, with your little bit, can you still beat me?
"I said the last time, what I just said, you repeat it again!" Nalan Zhe had already walked to the side of the Lingnan clan patriarch, he held his head high, and spoke very calmly, biting every word very clearly.
At this time, someone finally felt that something was wrong!
"Oh my God!"
One exclaimed!
