In the dead of night, the angry rebuke was particularly clear, and it was the voice of his father. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Le was very surprised, his father has always been majestic and calm, what made his father so angry? !

Zhang Le glanced at the window, but did not move.

The Spider Phantom said, "You still resent your father?"

Zhang Le was silent.

The Spider Phantom sighed "sigh", and then fell silent.

Zhang Le's face was expressionless, and his ears seemed to sound in his ears again, what his father said to the third princess: "What does the third princess want to do with this brute, please do nothing." ”

In the face of his own arguments, his father not only did not say a word to intercede for himself, but even held himself down and let the third princess do it! The reason why he became a wasted person was because his father "contributed a lot."

Zhang Le's face slowly showed a look of pain, and no one knew the damage this sentence brought to him.

After a long time, Zhang Le took a deep breath, walked to the door, pushed the door and walked out.

He decided to go and see what was going on with his father.

The moonlight paved the floor, and there was silence in the back garden.

In the back garden, in addition to Zhang Le and his father living here, there are a group of slaves, the eldest brother Zhang Shan has worked hard to cultivate in recent years, and as early as last year, he moved to another small courtyard and is not here.

Zhang Le looked around, under the moonlight, only to see the small bridge flowing water, as in the past, a feeling of reincarnation from the bottom of his heart, he retracted his gaze, and walked along the corridor towards his father's room.

There was still an oil lamp burning in my father's house.

At this time, it was late at night, and it was about to be dark soon, and my father hadn't slept yet?

Zhang Le saw that the door was not completely closed, it should be that the slave was angrily reprimanded by his father, and did not close it when he withdrew in a panic, Zhang Le put his face against the crack of the door and peeked into the house.

In the house, I saw my father sitting at a table with an oil lamp burning on the table, a jar of wine, and a wine bowl, and my father was carrying the wine jar and pouring wine into the wine bowl.

"Drinking?"

In Zhang Le's impression, for many years, his father has always been a drinker.

At this time, I saw my father put down the wine jar, picked up the wine bowl and opened his mouth to drink, the wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, just drank two or three sips, his father suddenly "slammed" the wine bowl on the table, he lowered his head, his hands touched the corners of the table on both sides, and after a while, his shoulders suddenly shook violently.

"Le'er, my poor child!" the father choked, his voice extremely suppressed, as if he was afraid of being heard, his shoulders shook more violently, and then, two teardrops the size of beans "banged" twice softly, dripping on the table.

Zhang Le's heart was shocked.

In his memory, even if he encountered something big, his father rarely lost his temper, let alone cried bitterly, but in the middle of the night, he was drinking and crying alone in the room!

Cry for yourself!

It turns out that my father loves him so much?!

Then why is he in a different posture in front of the third princess?

Zhang Le was stunned for a while, looking at his father who couldn't stop crying on the table, he suddenly remembered what his father said: "The third princess can turn our Zhang family into powder with just a few hands!"

At this moment, most of his resentment towards his father suddenly dissipated inexplicably.

The sky was already dark.

Suddenly, I heard the butler's hurried shout from the corner door: "Master, master!"

Zhang Le hurriedly hid behind the pillars in the corridor.

Zhang Lixiong walked out, his face was majestic, and no one could see that he had cried bitterly just now, and shouted: "What's the matter? ”

The housekeeper trotted over with the corner of his robe and gasped: "Master, the head of the Wei family and the head of the Zhao family have come to visit, and they are now waiting in the living room." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Lixiong's face changed, he frowned and groaned, "Let's go." ”

After his father and the housekeeper left quickly, Zhang Le turned around from behind the pillar and came out thoughtfully.

According to common sense, the visit should not have come so early, let alone the heads of the two great families.

Could it be something big?

In recent years, the three major families have been peaceful on the surface, but there is an undercurrent in secret, the Zhao family is better, but the Wei family is becoming more and more ambitious, and there are many frictions with the Zhang family when collecting taxes and handling city affairs, and there is a great intention to take the position of the city lord of the Zhang family and replace it.

The confidence of the Wei family lies in the fact that although the cultivation of Wei Zhongchang, the head of the Wei family, is not as good as Zhang Lixiong, there are two elders who do not care about the world, and they are not afraid, and the most important thing is that the Wei family has many heirs, and there are five sons, three of whom are on par with Zhang Shan.

Yesterday, the third princess just abolished herself, and today Wei Zhongchang and the head of the Zhao family couldn't wait to come early in the morning, what do you mean?

Zhang Le pondered for a while, did not go back to the room, and walked to the front yard.

At this time, it was still early, the house was empty, and no one saw Zhang Le act as usual, following behind.

Walking along the corner of the wall to the hall, it was still far away, and I heard my father walking quickly into the hall and greeted him affectionately: "The two heads of the family are coming, and our mansion is full of splendor." ”

A cold noise rang out in the hall.

Zhang Le came to the window on the side of the hall and peeked in.

The father had sent the housekeeper away and sat on the chair of the main seat, the head of the Wei family and the head of the Zhao family sat on either side, and the three of them were talking about some trivial matters with smiles on their faces.

Wei Zhongchang, the head of the Wei family, is thin and small, but his face is capable, and Zhao Yiqiao, the head of the Zhao family, is of medium stature and has a soft face.

talked and laughed for a long time, but Zhang Lixiong never asked the two of them about their intentions.

Wei Zhongchang finally couldn't help it, and after the three of them stopped laughing again, he said, "Brother Zhao and I came here this time to discuss something with Brother Zhang. ”

Zhang Lixiong smiled: "Oh, what's the matter, Brother Wei just asks." ”

Wei Zhongchang and Zhao Yiqiao glanced at each other.

Zhao Yiqiao didn't say a word, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Wei Zhongchang muttered: "In another month, it will be the date when the Labyrinth Killing Array will begin, Brother Zhang...... What's the plan?"

Zhang Lixiong showed a strange look on his face and said: "The Labyrinth Killing Array was jointly founded by our three ancestors, and it is held once every twenty years.

Wei Zhongchang said slowly: "This is nature. However, Brother Zhang should also remember that our ancestors created the Labyrinth Killing Array, not only to let their nephews in later generations collect some precious herbs, but also to establish the position of the city lord. Whichever junior becomes the winner of the labyrinth killing array, which one will be in charge of Los Angeles for the next twenty years. ”

Zhang Lixiong's face gradually turned cold, and he nodded: "Of course I remember this." ”

Wei Zhongchang smiled and said, "So, I want to ask Brother Zhang, this time, how likely does Brother Zhang think the Zhang family can still win?"

Zhang Lixiong said lightly: "This can only be known after the fact, where can the prophet be unpredictable?"

Wei Zhongchang and Zhang Yiqiao glanced at each other again.

Zhang Yiqiao still didn't say a word.

"I heard that the third princess came to your mansion yesterday and injured Zhang Lexian's nephew, can there be such a thing?" Wei Zhongchang coughed lightly and asked.

A look of anger flashed across Zhang Lixiong's face, and he said coldly, "What does Brother Wei want to say?"

Wei Zhongchang smiled and said: "Brother Zhang should know very well that the three of us can take charge of Los Angeles, it is due to the tolerance of the Holy Dynasty, if the Holy Dynasty investigates it, disaster will be coming." Now that the Zhang family has offended the third princess, in my opinion...... It is better for Brother Zhang to hand over the position of city lord in advance, so that he will not only give an account to the third princess, but also protect the Zhang family. ”
