Chapter 4 Wooing
"Master!"
Soon after Vivien went to deliver the letter, a mournful call sounded, and by the time Britney and Zhuge Pang walked out of the house, a thin old man had already galloped all the way to their approach, led by Vivien.
"Poof!"
The old man ignored the dust on the ground, knelt on the ground, his eyes were full of tears, and said fiercely: "Zhuge Qing, this brute, he used the family secret order yesterday to lure me away, and he actually ordered the housekeeper to do wrong to the master mother, you want to do wrong, it's damned! Fortunately, the young master is a god and martial arts, and he killed those three beasts, the old slave is guilty and has the kindness of the master!"
As he spoke, the old man kowtowed again and again with grief and indignation, which filled the entire courtyard with a strong sense of master-servant.
"Old Peter, you don't have to be like this, get up quickly!"
Such an opportunity to buy people's hearts, Zhuge Pang naturally would not miss it, three steps and two steps came to him, very solemnly helped him up, sighed and said, "Hey old Peter, I didn't expect us to live to see you, you must have heard Vivian say, my father has passed away, although the news has not yet been announced in the family, but it is a matter of time, following our orphans and widows will have no future in the future, you better plan early." ”
"Young master, what are you talking about! If it weren't for the master, my old Peter would have died a tragic death, and the master would have avenged my murder, how could my old Peter be ungrateful? I treasure a master-servant contract scroll, and today, I will use it to form a master-servant contract with my master to show my loyalty!" Old Peter was so excited that he took out an ancient scroll in his bosom.
It was an ancient animal skin scroll carved with some strange textures, and a strong aura of water magic emanated, showing that it was extraordinary. Seeing the situation in front of him, Zhuge Pang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly called this old servant to the Tao, he just wanted to use words to make him swear allegiance to himself, but he didn't expect to make him take out the master and servant contract scroll to be completely loyal to himself.
If you want to sign a master-servant contract, you must have a precious contract scroll, both parties are completely open-minded, one party recognizes the other as the master, once established, even if the servant is stronger than the master, the master can make him die with a single thought. Moreover, once the master dies, the servant with whom he has signed the master-servant contract will also die.
"O great god of water, your slave Peter, willing to open the master-servant contract"
Old Peter suddenly surged out of a tent of earthy yellow fighting energy, and while chanting, he pointed at it from afar, and immediately injected his own power into the contract scroll, and the entire scroll suddenly exploded, turning into an extremely cumbersome symbol, and suddenly threw itself into Zhuge Pang's body.
At the same time, Zhuge Pang felt a mysterious force and asked him, whether to sign a master-servant contract and accept Peter's slave, such a good thing, he naturally would not miss it, and immediately chose to agree, and soon, he felt that he had made a connection with Peter, and a thought could decide the life and death of the other party.
"Awesome! It seems that the magic and fighting spirit of the Creation Continent are also unique, and they should not be underestimated! The King of the Creation Continent is looking forward to it more and more!" Licking his lips, Zhuge Pang thought to himself.
With Peter, a loyal old slave, Zhuge Pang finally had some confidence, his eyes rolled, and a series of schemes appeared in his heart, he smiled and told his plans one by one, and heard that old Peter was in a cold sweat, secretly rejoicing, his young master is so shameless and insidious, where is the waste idiot in the mouth of everyone?
According to the plan, Old Peter left in a hurry, and about two hours, a noisy discussion sounded, only to see that under the leadership of Old Peter, more than 20 people rushed in, all wearing gorgeous robes, which were a group of representatives of the Zhuge family loyal to the patriarch.
"Uncles, help!"
Seeing everyone arriving, Zhuge Pang let out a crying cry and grabbed the ground, like a wall of flesh, and threw himself directly to the ground, his face trembling with fat and his eyes full of tears, and he was indescribably miserable. As for Britney, she also kept wiping her tears and crying on the side.
"What's going on?Madam Patriarch, what's wrong with you?And the young master, what's going on?" an old man with a majestic face frowned, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Third uncle, you are highly respected, please save our mother and son!" Britney choked up and recounted what had happened before.
When the news of the death of the patriarch was mentioned, it immediately caused a sensation among everyone, most of the clansmen's eyes showed anger, and a few people's eyes flashed, not knowing what they were thinking, as for the coercive old man, he was already frowning, and his face was solemn.
"Now that the ancestors are in retreat, the family affairs are decided by the Council of Elders, although I, Zhuge Lin, am also one of the members of the Council of Elders, but Zhuge Qing's faction is very powerful in the Council of Elders, and I am afraid that this matter will be suppressed on the grounds that I am worried that our hostile family, the Libyan family, will take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Moreover, if the steward and the guard are dead, they can also be cleared up and not admit to death. However, the patriarch has made great contributions to the family, and everyone present has also received his help, we will not watch the patriarch's widow be humiliated, Pang Er, you hurry up. Zhuge Lin opened his mouth and kindly stretched out his hand towards Zhuge Pang.
"No, I won't get up! I don't worry! Third grandfather, if someone leaks the secret of the uncle who is present, I am an orphan and a widow, I am afraid that we will definitely die!"
Zhuge Pang pretended to be frightened, shook his head like a playful face, threw himself to the ground, snorted and cried, and said that he didn't want to get up, as for Britney, she also sobbed quietly, looking so miserable.
"Hey Pang'er, what do you want?" sighed, Zhuge Lin said helplessly.
"That's all!"
Zhuge Pang stopped crying, took out a pile of paper and a graphite pen in his arms, glanced around at everyone, and his tone became sonorous and excited: "My father worked hard for the Zhuge family and dedicated everything to it, and his death was also for the family! However, as soon as the news of his death came, Zhuge Qing plotted against our orphans and widows, which is simply like a beast! And what he really plotted was the position of the patriarch!" If you have some conscience, remember my father's kindness, sign your names, and wait for the old ancestor to wake up and adjudicate justice!"
"Hiss"
As soon as Zhuge Pang said this, everyone present suddenly sighed, most of them were quite calm, but some of them had flashing eyes, and they seemed to be very embarrassed. They never thought that the young master who was pustuled in the past would have such a trick, forcing him to compromise with the general trend. At this moment, everyone had no idea, and they all looked at Zhuge Lin.
"This Pang Er, our family should focus on unity, and it is not appropriate to form a gang" smiled helplessly, Zhuge Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his mouth with some embarrassment.
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a series of pathetic laughter from old Peter.
I saw that old Peter looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, sad, what a sorrow! Master, you died so unjustly, these clansmen who have received so much kindness from you in the past are not even willing to protect the orphans and widows you left behind, sad! Although the old slave is humble, he is willing to swear an oath here, swearing allegiance to the young master and his master!"
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Zhuge Pang also showed a fierce face, and said viciously, "Yes, old Peter, as long as the young master does not die, he will definitely meet the old ancestor face to face and ask him to uphold justice, and those who are treacherous will also be punished by the old ancestor!
The master and servant said a word, but they forced everyone present to a dead end, everyone's face changed greatly, if they didn't agree, they would immediately have to bear the name of treachery, and the old ancestor was a big mountain, and they were panicked by oppression, everyone knew very well that the old ancestor loved Zhuge Pang's sister very much, if she knew it
Moreover, regardless of these, the wrath of a great great magister is unbearable for the small Zhuge family!
In an instant, countless thoughts flickered in Zhuge Lin's heart, he weighed the pros and cons, and finally smiled awkwardly, and said in a deep voice, "Pang Er, you don't have to be so excited, just since you are not at ease, the third grandfather will sign his name first!"
"It's done!"
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, Zhuge Pang and Old Peter glanced at each other, and they were all silent.
With Zhuge Lin at the beginning, the rest of the people had to sign their names one by one, and finally watched Zhuge Pang put away the pile of papers, and sighed secretly, knowing that he and the others had been pulled onto the thief ship by him.
