Chapter 1: Wedges

Next Chapter

One of the two major clans of the Xilong Kingdom that shocked the world ———— the Ito clan. Since the founding of the Xilong Dynasty, it has monopolized the southern territory and become a vassal king, and even the imperial court has to be afraid of three points.

In a courtyard with green shade and flowers, it is quiet and secluded.

Inside the house, Itowara pushed away the woman snuggled in his arms, slowly walked off the bed naked, and let the people in the house dress him, the wide dark robe revealed the man's strong chest, and the long black hair was scattered behind him, making the cold and handsome face a little more charming.

"Brother Yuan," Ito Yujing rubbed up from the corner of the bed, and covered Yujie's smooth body with a thin blanket, and her little red face raised in doubt, "....... Where are you going? ”

"The patriarch has something important to pass me to the main hall."

"This hour? What matters? Ito frowned and looked at the darkening sky outside.

Itowara looked sideways at the person on the bed, thinking that it was time to let the person in front of him know, "That person is back." ”

"Who?" Ito tilted his head, and the long green silk slid down the incense shoulder.

"Yasashi Ito." Itowara spat out the legendary name, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"She?" Ito Yujing was shocked, "...... She's not dead? She's coming back? What did she come back for? ”

She had heard her fathers mention that fool who was born ominous, but she didn't expect that fool to be alive after being missing for eighteen years!

"She's naturally going to come back, after all, she's the real and only daughter of the Ito clan."

"What about the concubine?" Removing the surprise on his face, Ito raised his disdainful eyebrows, "..... Isn't she a fool? How good could it be to have that kind of background? I can't say that the ugly ones don't dare to see people! ”

The only thing she lost in her life was the identity of the concubine, even if she could win the title of 'princess' from the Xilong Emperor, she was always a lowly concubine in the clan lord! I can't get the slightest love!

Itowara smiled silently, he was afraid that the only blank place in the Ito clan was the legendary concubine.

That woman has ** parents, and she disappeared shortly after she was born, and no matter how many secret guards the Ito clan sent, they couldn't find the slightest news, and eighteen years later, the news of the Hui tribe suddenly came without warning.

There are not many things like this that are out of his control and unexpected to him!

Seeing that Itowara was silent, Ito Yujing thought that he was right, muttered and continued, "........ I heard that people with a background like her were not only born deformed, but even their brains were stupid, and I really didn't understand why the clan lord still thought about her. ”

"Naturally, I want to think about her, now that the clan is growing stronger, how can the clan lord allow the clan power to be annihilated? Naturally, I want to find a chance to balance. ”

Let the subordinates tie up their long hair high, Itowara's angular and handsome face is no longer covered in the slightest, and the charming color is gone, but there is a layer of cold arrogance and alienated nobility.

"Balance? How to balance? Ito Yujing looked at the man in the distance, with a deep obsession in his eyes, and he didn't understand the meaning of the man's words at all.

"Heh-" Seeing the person on the bed adoring him in the mirror, the corners of Itowara's mouth lifted an imperceptible arc, "...... Naturally, she wanted me to marry her. ”

"What?!" Ito sat up straight on the bed quietly, the boss with a pair of beautiful eyes.

“....... Now there is only this way to unify the forces in the clan, otherwise why do you think the patriarch of the clan attaches so much importance to her? Sweeping the panic on Ito's face, Itowara lowered his eyes as if he hadn't seen it.

"But she's a fool......."

"It doesn't matter if you're a fool or not, don't you understand Yu Jing?" Itowara's words were mixed with chuckles, and a pair of indifferent eyes looked through the mirror at the person on the bed.

"Yes...... What is the identity of the concubine? Ito Yujing took the words with a bloodless face, then blinked and came back to his senses, and eagerly looked at Itowara, who had already dressed up, "....... But the original brother won't agree, right? ”

She Ito Yujing has been a childhood sweetheart with the person in front of her since she was a child, although she has not officially signed a marriage contract with the person in front of her, she has long been committed to each other, she thought that she would definitely sit on the position of the future wife, but now, .......

"Heh-" Seeing the frightened face of the person on the bed, Itowara slowly walked over, his bony hand gently lifted the smooth chin of the person on the bed, and softly dropped a kiss on the red lips, "......... Since the position of the supreme clan lord was to be determined from the beginning, what is this requirement? ”

A solemn temple.

The silence makes people feel suffocated and afraid, and no one dares to move.

It's just that Yu Guang glanced cautiously at the old man sitting on the jade platform, and then trembled at the young man who had just appeared on the stairs on the other side, but he didn't dare to come out.

"Patriarch, you said Ito Yaasa is coming back?" Ito looked at the old man sitting on the jade platform, his voice was thunderous, and there was unbelievable surprise in his words.

Wasn't that woman missing since she was a child? How..... How all of a sudden.......

"What? You don't agree with her coming back? The old man sitting on the jade platform had bright eyes, and looked at Ito Mo under the hall fixedly, the solemn expression on his face made people not be questioned in the slightest, but the fierceness that flashed between his eyes made Ito Taki under the hall tremble.

"Brother Shu doesn't dare." Ito hurriedly bowed his head, "...... As the grandson of the Ito clan, Ito Yaasa should be a Hui clan. It's just that she disappeared since she was a child and didn't know her whereabouts, and the patriarch suddenly mentioned her, and the younger brother was naturally surprised. ”

"Well," the old man said, the chill in his eyes faded a little, "....... She will return to the clan in the next two days, you arrange a ceremony to worship her ancestors, she has been wandering outside for 18 years, it is time to come back to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. ”

Itotaki heard that his body moved slightly, and his face seemed to be a little hesitant, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

The old man sitting on the jade platform looked at it, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Hmph, how could he not know the thoughts of his cousin?

It's just that he won't be stupid to be the first to speak out.

“.......... Miss Miqian's Hui nationality should naturally be grand, but I heard that Miss Miqian's body has been weak since she was a child, and the process of the ancestor worship ceremony is heavy and meticulous, and ordinary people still need to study for half a month to barely be familiar with all aspects of ancestor worship, not to mention Miss Miqian's weak body........"

A chill appeared in Ito's eyes, hum, is he, the eldest brother who has always been arrogant, finally can't hold his breath?! actually found the girl who had been dead for more than ten years at this time!

It's a pity, it's a pity, he thinks that finding that little bit of bloodline can re-suppress the power of their lineage?

It's a fantasy!

Who doesn't know that the girl who has been missing for eighteen years is a natural idiot?!

When you were born, you soaked in the elixir pool all day long to continue your life?!

It's a great fate for such a person to live to this day, but if you return to this Ito, heh! He Itotaki wants to see what kind of humiliation that stupid girl will suffer in the Ito clan where the power of the common family is rising now!

The old man on the jade platform was silent for a rare moment, looking at Ito Taki who looked respectful in the hall, and the haze rising in his eyes could not be dissolved, the child's fate was hanging by a thread when he disappeared from the clan, and he had such an unbearable birth, although he is still alive now, but I am afraid that he is also weak.

In addition, the process of worshipping ancestors is complicated and complicated, and smart people can't remember the details and will be embarrassed, not to mention that stupid girl.

It's just that........

This Ito Taki obviously really thought he was old.

What he Ito thought of, couldn't he Katsuaki Ito think of?

Hum! He's been waiting for that!

"Mi Qian's girl has not yet returned to the clan, Brother Taki, you are so compassionate, in comparison, the owner's concern is a little worse. In this case, the master also felt that the cumbersome rampant customs of the ancestral temple were not suitable for that child, anyway, she had the purest bloodline of the Ito clan flowing through her......."

Saying this, the voice of the old man sitting on the jade platform suddenly became a little louder, "...... The matter of recognizing the ancestors of the ancestral hall can be put aside for the time being, but she is the most noble concubine of my Ito clan, and she has been wandering for more than ten years. The lord is old, so he naturally wants to choose the best husband for the youngest granddaughter of this Hui clan, in addition to comforting the children who died early, and continuing the most orthodox bloodline of Ito is also the most important thing at the moment. ”

The old man's words made the people under the hall begin to look at each other, and even more made Ito, who was standing in the center, look up sharply and be frightened.

He probably guessed what the old man would say next, but before he could stop it, he heard a sound over his head ringing through the entire hall like a bell.

“............ The Lord will now declare, "Whoever becomes a shallow man, succeeds me in the great cause of Ito!"

Long, winding garden paths.

The delicate lake is cool, the breeze is accompanied by the delicate rose peony by the lakeside, and the pleasant light floral fragrance is really intoxicating.

Ming Lan looked at the young master who walked in front of him and was invisible, and then thought back to the scene that happened in the hall just now, and his face was hesitant to ask but didn't dare to ask.

The young head of his family, Itowara, is now the most powerful speaker of the Ito clan, and he is also the next clan leader who was personally appointed by the old clan master. But the scene in the hall just now really made him a little confused about the meaning of the old clan master's heart.

The young master of his family has a marriage contract with Miss Ito Yujing, the niece of Lord Taki, although there is no official matchmaker, but this has long been an open secret in everyone's hearts. The young master of his family has excellent talents, and his way of doing things is ruthless and decisive, he is a dragon among people, and he has been carefully cultivated by the elders of the clan since he was a child, and has become a role that cannot be underestimated in the clan. Later, he was favored by Ito Taki and was willing to assist all forces with all his might, and Ito Taki's favorite niece Ito Yujing was even more interested in the favor of the young master.

The young master of his family also lived up to expectations, and in just five years, the power of the clan has grown to the point where it can now match the power of the lineage, and the means and abilities behind it are enough to make people worship and look up to them.

Ito Taki boasts of his meritorious assistance, and Miss Yujing gets along well with the young master of his family on weekdays, and he has long regarded the young master of his family as his niece and son-in-law.

And now, just now, the old patriarch actually said in front of everyone, "The one who becomes a shallow man, succeeds me in Ito's great cause!" In that case, it is nothing more than telling the young master of his family that if he wants to really ascend to that position, he can only marry his granddaughter who is about to return to the clan, and there is no other choice!

Thinking of this, Ming Lan couldn't help but have a headache, and her eyes fell on her young master, didn't the old patriarch sincerely think about ruining the marriage between the young master of his family and Miss Yu Jing?!

If it was someone else, he Minglan would not stop him, after all, he would marry the other party and be able to ascend to that position justifiably, and he would have to worry about the trouble of fighting for me, and it would be too late for him to be happy!

But here's the problem!

As the young master's guard, there are some things that must be handled by him, so over the years, he also knows a lot about the secrets of the Ito clan. This includes the case of Miss Chang, who disappeared shortly after her birth.

It is rumored that Miss Ya Asa is the biological daughter of the patriarch and the child born of the love of the son-in-law, because that relationship violated the ethical norms, and did not abide by the etiquette of the clan, which made the entire Ito clan a great shame at that time!

Later, there was a vicious disease in the south inexplicably, and the person festered to death, and after death, the whole body turned into a pool of blood, and the stench wafted out ten miles away.

At that time, the southern border had become a ghost town in less than a decade, and no one dared to approach it. After the news was transmitted back to the clan, the elders were shocked, and linked this sudden evil disease with the love affair of the concubine and the concubine, and said that the clan had committed something disobedient to the heavens, so they would suffer this calamity!

There are even elders in the clan who directly threaten to sacrifice the two of them to the sky to apologize.

Later, Ming Lan didn't know what happened, but later learned from other things that her sister-in-law and daughter-in-law died in Ito's most terrifying execution ground "Dark Forest", and Miss Chang, who was less than a year old at the time, had disappeared and disappeared.

Since ancient times, although there are few cases of brothers and sisters giving birth to children, it is not nothing, some are on the run and are regarded as taboo by the family and are not allowed to spread the rumors, and some are directly killed and completely cut off the rumors.

Each family deals with it in different ways, but they all keep the children they born, but without exception, the children who grow up are either born with disabilities, or their faces are ugly and deformed, and what is even more shocking is that it seems that God is joking, all children with such a background are stupid and mentally retarded without exception!

No exceptions!

Without exception!!
