When Xu Yuan returned to the courtyard prepared by Bai Zhao for Xu Yuan and the three of them, Xu Xinyao was sitting in front of the pavilion in the courtyard and talking to Ran Qingmo in a low voice.

However, seeing that the door was pushed open by Xu Yuan, Xu Xinyao immediately stopped talking, as if she didn't want him to hear it.

Xu Yuan asked with a smile as he came over:

"What are you talking about?"

Xu Xinyao stood up and smiled:

"The girl's boudoir is talking, third brother, do you want to know too?"

"Yes."

Walking closer, Xu Yuan sat down casually, put the box containing the human skin mask on the table, and said with a smile:

"Of course, Ran Qingmo, what were you talking about just now?"

Ran Qingmo on the side put away his look of understanding or not, hesitated slightly, shook his head and said:

"Xin Yao told me that I can't tell you this."

"Oh?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What is so mysterious."

"Ahem!"

Xu Xinyao cleared her throat at this time and interrupted, opened the topic, and said with a smile:

"Third brother, what's in this box?"

“.”

Xu Yuan didn't delve into what the second daughter's secret agent just said again, and whispered to the remnant soul of the saint in his heart, "Seal it for a while", and then conveniently banned the five senses of the remnant soul of the saint.

Opening the box, he whispered:

"Human skin mask, you and I will wear it when you go to negotiate."

"What?"

Xu Xinyao looked at the two compartments in the box, and her eyes were a little surprised: "With a mask?" ”

Xu Yuan picked up the teacup on the stone table, poured himself a cup, and drank it all:

"Father's meaning."

Xu Xinyao's eyes showed a hint of thought when she heard this, but then she asked:

"Why?"

Xu Yuan put down the teacup, tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, and did not answer immediately, but continued:

"In addition, my father also gave me the command of the 40,000 Black Scale Army, and listened to Yuan Hao's wishes, as long as I want, I can unconditionally order him to directly destroy the Vientiane Sect."

“.”

Ran Qingmo blinked his eyes, a little puzzled.

Xu Xinyao frowned and said in a low voice:

"Third brother, what are you telling me about this?"

She didn't think that the third brother in front of her told her about it to ask for her opinion.

Xu Yuan let out a long sigh and said in a low voice:

"I want to ask you, what happened to the death of the second brother?"

In the various plot lines of Cangyuan, Xu Chang'an, the second son of Xiangguo Mansion, has never appeared, so Xu Yuan can't get any useful news from it.

And the news about the death of the second brother in this life was just one day when he was drinking in Goolan and suddenly learned that the second brother had passed away, and asked him to hurry back home.

It was impossible for Su Qian to come into contact with these things at the beginning, but Xu Xinyao had already returned home after completing his studies, and with the other party's original status, he should know some inside stories.

Hearing the word second brother, Xu Xinyao was stunned for a moment, and then her beautiful eyes dimmed for a moment, and she asked with some puzzlement:

"Third brother, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Xu Yuan didn't answer immediately, but just asked:

"I have some guesses in my mind, so I wanted to ask."

Xu Xinyao groaned slightly, and said in a low voice:

"This matter, the eldest brother asked his father at the time, but the father didn't say anything, just said that he was to blame for the matter, the eldest brother asked, the father seemed to be a little angry, and the eldest brother went out of the house directly."

“.”

Xu Yuan's brows furrowed little by little when he heard this:

"What did Xu Changge do?"

Xu Xinyao shook her head:

"I don't know."

Xu Yuan continued to ask:

"Are you sure my father was angry because of his eldest brother's question?"

Xu Xinyao thought about it carefully and said in a low voice:

"It's not angry, the voice is serious."

Speaking of which,

Xu Xinyao saw Xu Yuan's complicated expression, and asked softly:

"Third brother, does the death of the second brother have anything to do with this matter now?"

"Nope."

Xu Yuan's tone was complicated: "But I probably know who the second brother is." ”

“.”

Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes were surprised when she heard this, and her delicate palms clenched slightly:

"Who is it?"

"Everyone."

"Huh?"

“.”

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, glanced at the human skin mask on the table, and said word by word:

"Everyone except us in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

“.”

When Xu Xinyao heard this, a trace of doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes:

"Everyone?"

Xu Yuan looked down at his palm:

"The second brother's death is most likely because he is too sharp."

Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of doubt:

"Too sharp? But isn't he more sharp, big brother? ”

"Xu Changge?"

Xu Yuan leaned against the wooden guardrail behind him:

"Xu Changge's cultivation is too high, it was already at the beginning ten years ago, and our family members don't know much about his specific cultivation now, and if the outside world wants to kill him, it will take at least two or three transformations to be considered safe.

"And Xin Yao, compared to the eldest brother, those people are actually more afraid of the second brother."

“.”

The incomprehension between Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes was even better.

Xu Changge is famous all over the world, but Xu Changan is only a little famous.

Xu Yuan sighed and asked:

"Xin Yao, you should remember what the second brother was doing before, right?"

Xu Xinyao thought for a while and said:

"Second brother, he seems to have been following his father since he returned from his travels"

Xu Yuan nodded:

"Yes, you haven't come back when he returned home from his trip, I have always been in Dijing, so I know that many important guests, even Old Man Huahong and Aunt Lou Ji are the second brother in charge of liaison."

When Xu Xinyao heard this, she already understood the meaning of the third brother in front of her:

"Third brother, are you saying that my father wants to train the second brother to succeed him?"

Xu Yuan remembered the back of the man who always held a stick in front of him:

"After all, the second brother has liked to be reasonable since he was a child."

After that, it was quiet for a long time.

Ran Qingmo bit his lip and looked at Xu Yuan and wanted to say something comforting, but he couldn't.

Xu Yuan took the human skin mask out of the box:

"Now everyone in the world wants our Xiangguo Mansion to decline, so the second brother must die, and once he dies, no one in our family will be able to take my father's place.

"You also know the structure in our Xiangguo Mansion, basically revolving around my father alone, if you can't suppress the people below, it's easy to fall apart."

"But, isn't there a big brother?"

Xu Xinyao said in a low voice.

In her impression, except for Xu Yuan, the two brothers are omnipotent.

Xu Yuan's figure appeared in Xu Yuan's mind, and he shook his head and denied:

"Big brother, he can't.

Although he can suppress the people below, he is too light-hearted, and he doesn't know how to forbear, he will only become the next maternal uncle at most, if he takes over the Xiangguo Mansion, there is a high probability that it will slowly decline.

"That's probably why my father was helpless in the first place."

"The sect, the family, and even the saints in the Jinluan Palace, they all want the second brother to die."

What the world is afraid of is not Xu Changge, but Xu Yinhe from Xiangguofu.

Words fall,

Xu Yuan put the human skin mask on his face.
