Chapter Twenty-Three: Acting in Embarrassment
Ice and snow covered the Northland, even if the sun was shining, it was difficult to resist the cold wind, many people were forced to hide at home and did not dare to come out, and making a fire to eat meat became a hobby of the Northlanders.
In the Northland, Zhou Yaxuan's name has also become commonplace, a role model for future people, and even encourages his children to be as powerful as Zhou Yaxuan and become indispensable talents in the family.
Zhou Yaxuan is the son of Zhou Zhitong, and the candidate for the future to take charge of the family, many young people admire it, and they keep forming gangs and fighting fiercely, in order to make Zhou Yaxuan value him and become his right-hand man.
In addition to these people, many of the famous nobles of the family are also secretly forming gangs and paving the way for their sons, so that they all have the opportunity to get close to Zhou Yaxuan, and be recognized by him and become the most trusted person.
Among them, there is a famous family that is very powerful, and almost half of the family's nobles have been sold, and this famous family is the family's general Li Hanming.
Li Hanming is the general of the family, and he is also an arm of Zhou Zhitong, his status in the family is very high, and he is deeply valued by Zhou Zhitong.
But as he gets older, there will be more things in the future, he has a son named Li Ji, who has not learned since he was a child, often fights with others, and molests women from good families, which makes him very annoyed, but there is no way, who calls him his own son.
Seeing that Zhou Yaxuan grew up with the scriptures and was the leader of the family, Li Hanming knew in his heart that if the old leader abdicated, he might also abdicate, and then the position would definitely be Zhou Yaxuan's.
Alternating between the old and the new, Zhou Yaxuan will definitely pick out a more trusted right-hand man, there must be a lot of outstanding people, and he wants his son to provoke the beam, which is obviously impossible!
Because of this, his selfishness deepened, and in order for his son to take his place, he used his rights to sell various patriarchs, and under the control of the forces, Li Jiyijing was a member of the family.
A smell of mutton is full, Li Hanming's house is very lively, the whole sheep is roasted over a blazing fire, the wine and delicacies become condiments, the house is full of nobles, and the song and dance performances are happy.
"Patriarchs, my son has all the credit for today, I, Li Hanming, toast you with a cup, eat and drink well, and go back."
Li Hanming was wearing a military uniform, with a scimitar hanging from his waist, he was tall, he stood up with a glass of wine, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of murderous energy, and he did it to the patriarchs in a serious way.
"General Li said with a smile, your son is already both civil and military, and it is also his ability to become a major general, we just helped a little, don't you say?"
"What Lao Wang said is that Li Ji is what we have seen since childhood, this child is not ordinary by nature, if he can get the weight of the new leader in the future, it will be the luck of our clan."
"Let's toast General Lee."
Everyone raised their wine glasses, and Li Hanming also raised his wine glasses, drinking happily, all of them at ease.
chatted about family life until the end, and when the menstrual moon passed, seeing that everyone had dispersed, Li Hanming's smile disappeared immediately, and then he stood up and entered a room.
"Come out!" Li Hanming looked at the bright moon outside the window and said.
"General Li is really powerful, I can be discovered by you if I hide so deeply, and I admire it."
A cloud of black gas emerged, and a figure appeared behind him, wearing a green robe, unable to see his appearance clearly, and boasting in a hoarse voice.
Li Hanming didn't have time to talk to him, he clenched his fist and hit the green robe, but fortunately, the green robe dodged in time, retreated a long way, and said from time to time: "Is this how General Li treats guests?" ”
"Hmph, I, Li Hanming, am famous, I didn't expect to be in the same stream as you, causing my son to become a waste material who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, you demons are really despicable."
It turned out that this person was none other than the green-robed demon from the demon race.
"Why should General Li be angry, your family has been plagued by disasters in the Northland all the year round, and if you don't expand the place in time, you will suffer the disaster of extermination, do you want to watch your own people die?"
"Let me tell you, whether my family lives or dies has nothing to do with the demon clan, if you want to use this coercion to lure me into doing something sorry for the family, go back and tell you the demon lord, it is wishful thinking."
"General Li, how could the Demon Lord do such a shameless thing, we are doing great things and have common interests, as long as we cooperate, why can't the mainland be reunified?"
"Say it! What's the matter with this visit? ”
"General Li, you also know that now the young masters of the three families have gone to Tianxi Sect, if there is some accident among the young masters of the Tang family at this time, will the Tang family investigate to the end?"
"What do you want?"
"Now is the time, if the Zhou family wants to unify the mainland, then find a way to make the Tang family and the Gao family have a war, and this lead is the young master of the Tang family, I know that you are bent on revitalizing the family, and the reason why your master handed over the power to you is to let you expand the place, and this time is the right time."
"How can the young master of the Tang family be killed so easily, green robe, you look up to me too much."
"General Li, it's not a matter of your words whether to kill or not, if you want the Tang family and the Gao family to lose, I believe that you have a better plan with the scriptures, and then my demon clan will definitely support in secret, may we cooperate happily, farewell!"
Li Hanming looked at the disappearing green robe, and suddenly fell into deep thought, if Li Ji was not a waste, he would not be embarrassed to be in cahoots with the demons, for the sake of the family, he had to cooperate with the demons, after all, the enemies were all the Tang family, and at the same time, he was also worried that the demons were treacherous, if he was bitten by the demons, he would have to bear the infamy of extermination.
He doesn't seem to have a choice, on the one hand, the glory of the family, on the other hand, his son, and finally under the urging of selfish desires, he cooperates with the demon clan, as long as he can destroy the Tang family and the Gao family, the demon clan is a plate of scattered sand for him.
"Chief, I, Li Hanming, have failed you, for the sake of the family, I can only do this!"
Li Hanming was full of thoughts, looked at a bright moon, sighed, and deepened his guilt.
