Looking at the figures of Jin Yuzhi and the others leaving, Li Haoran opened his mouth and asked, "Do you want to let them leave like this?" ”

Fang Lin said: "I understand what you mean, but to be honest, these few people are really not much combat power in my eyes, but in the eyes of Shangyuan Sect, it is different, you see that Xue Qinglin, it is just the level of the entry level of the life and death realm, and he is the number one person in Shangyuan Sect, if they are completely left, it will make Shangyuan Sect mad, and if they spread the news desperately, the consequences will not be something we can afford now." ”

"But if you let them go back, won't they talk nonsense?" Concubine Shu said worriedly.

"Hehe, naturally not, because they still have the idea of getting benefits from us, as I said just now, if they say it, not only will they not get any benefits, but they will also be targeted by the Yeyue royal family, so they can only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs." Fang Lin Road.

"However, most of our strength has been revealed, those things can't be hidden, if they know our strength, I'm afraid they will despair, in that case, won't they secretly reveal the news?" Princess Xiangxiang asked.

"Of course not." Fang Lin said with a smile.

"Why?" Everyone was surprised by Fang Lin's determination, and couldn't help but ask out loud in unison.

Everyone's reaction seemed to have been expected by Fang Lin, he smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Because of hope, don't forget, we have more than one enemy now, in addition to the Shang Kingdom, there is also the behemoth of the Yeyue Empire, with so many enemies, they have the opportunity to join forces, with such an opportunity, they also have a lot of hope, so they will definitely hide this secret for us, which also gives us a lot of valuable time." ”

"However, if the Yeyue Empire comes to deal with us with all its might, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it." Qu Shan'er frowned.

"The strength we have revealed is indeed very strong, but in the eyes of the Yeyue Empire, it is nothing, according to Lu Xiong's report, now the Yeyue Empire has used most of its energy to the Great Xuan Kingdom, the Great Shen Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom in the west, and in the east, the progress of Beitangmo is not very smooth, which also involves part of their troops, and some of them are involved by some martial arts forces within the Yeyue Empire, although the south looks relatively calm, but the entire Nanguo family is sucked there, In terms of Bour Qibu, although Li Xianzong won the victory, he suffered heavy losses, and is currently retreating to the Qi and Song countries for repair, so at present, if the Yeyue Empire wants to deal with us, it can only use part of Li Xianzong's troops, and part of the troops of the Beitang family is most of the troops of Shangyuan Sect and the troops of the Shang State. Fang Lin analyzed.

"But even so, I'm afraid that their combined forces are millions of them, so what can we do to stop them?" Frost said lightly.

Fang Lin sneered and said: "Hmph, if so many patchwork troops want to be coordinated, it is absolutely impossible in a short period of time, and the army of the Shang State has been scared by us, so they only dare to use the border pass to oppress us, and they definitely dare not take the initiative to attack, unless we are already at an absolute disadvantage, as for the other three, I estimate that Li Xianzong will divide his troops into three routes, and each one will attack a pass in our Southern Regions, so that we will be much easier to deal with." ”

••••••

Arctic City, the life of the Beitang family is not too good now, because Beitangmo's performance in the east is not satisfactory, which makes Li Tianyou very dissatisfied, and he indirectly gave some eye medicine, although it is not a big deal, but it is also very sad.

However, a sudden news came that made the entire Beitang family excited, just a few days ago, Beitangmo finally led the troops to capture the capital of a small country that did not accept control, and the results were not bad, which made Li Tianyou Longyan Dayue, and at the same time revoked the punishment of the Beitang family, and at the same time transferred Beitangli back to the Northern Regions, and ordered Beitangmo to temporarily stop the action against the eastern country.

"Hehe, now it's okay, the head of the family has won the battle in the east, and even the sanctions imposed on our family by His Majesty have been removed, so now we don't have to be so trembling." Beitang Mu, the head of the Beitang family, said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, all the elders of the Beitang family in the lobby seemed very happy, and one of the elders sighed: "Hey, I finally survived, our Beitang family has survived another disaster, and the so-called bitterness is sweet, and in the future, our Beitang family should be better, haha." ”

There was laughter in the lobby, everyone was very happy, and after laughing, Beitang Mu continued: "Also, Beitang Li has also been transferred back, hehe, I haven't seen this kid for a long time, and I don't know what he is growing up like now, I'm really looking forward to it." ”

All the elders couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, after all, Beitangli was the candidate for the next head of the family in their hearts, but there was one person in the crowd with a gloomy face, and he was quite uninterested in Beitangli, and this person was Beitangyao.

Soon, the meeting ended, Beitangyao returned to his independent courtyard sullenly, and a beautiful woman walked up and said softly: "Come back, sit down and have a cup of tea, I just made it, I guess you should come back at this point, just waiting for you to taste it together." ”

Beitang Yao closed his eyes, sniffed lightly in the air, and calmed down his mixed thoughts by the way, only then opened his eyes and smiled: "Mingyue is ingenious, even if it is making tea, it is a must in the world, if you have a wife, what more can Beitang Yaofu ask for, hehe." ”

Bei Tangyao sat down at the small stone table in the small courtyard as he spoke, looking at his wife opposite without blinking, and he didn't know how to do it, for his wife, Bei Tangyao was always very satisfied, since he had her, even the previous habit of messing with flowers and grass has been changed, and he always feels that no matter how he looks at it, he can't see enough.

Li Mingyue elegantly put a small cup of tea in front of Bei Tangyao, and said with a slight smile: "Look at you, it's been so long since you entered the door, and you still look at me like this, did you only know me today." ”

Although this smile was not deliberate, but the coquettishness that was unintentionally displayed was to make the flowers lose color, Beitangyao was also a little stupid for a while, he smiled, took a small sip of tea, and praised: "Good tea, well, the clouds and mist hairs that have just been collected are tips, fragrant and elegant, but only my bright moon can make such a good tea, hehe." As he spoke, he raised his head again and drank the rest.

"You, you'll say something nice to make me happy, and if someone else drinks this tea, they'll definitely say I'm tyrannical." Li Mingyue said with a smile.

"Hmph, only I can drink the tea you make, and whoever else dares to grab it, I will break his legs, and whoever dares to say bad things about you, I will cut off his tongue!" Beitang Yaohu said with a tiger face.

"Alright, alright, I know you're the best for me." Li Mingyue smiled and filled Beitangyao's cup with tea, and continued to say softly: "I see that your complexion is not very good, why, are you still worried about the family's affairs, don't think about those worries when you come back, relax well, ah." After speaking, Li Mingyue came behind Beitang Yao, and a pair of small hands massaged on his head.

Bei Tangyao drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, closed his eyes, leaned his head on Li Mingyue's arms, and his expression gradually calmed down, at this moment, neither of them was talking, and he didn't know how long it took, Bei Tangyao suddenly said: "Mingyue, do you regret marrying me?" ”

Li Mingyue was not surprised at all when she heard this, her hands kept moving, but her mouth was still so gentle: "How could you say such a thing, aren't you good enough for me?" ”

Beitang Yao shook his head slowly, and said: "I can't wait to give everything to you, Mingyue, you know, but, no matter how hard I try, no matter how much I contribute to the family, however, they still don't agree with me, in their hearts, there is only my eldest brother, no matter what mistakes he makes, the result is still the same." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, let's just do our best, we don't need to fight for it, no matter what, you are Beitangyao, the second young master of the Beitang family, even if your eldest brother inherits the position of the head of the family, he won't do anything to you, your things are still yours, and no one can take them away." Li Mingyue comforted softly.

"But, but I'm not reconciled, if it's just me, it doesn't matter at all, but I don't want you to send someone to the fence with me." Beitang Yao said with some sadness.

"You know, I'm not the kind of woman who pursues fame and fortune, so don't think too much, as long as you are by my side, I don't ask for anything else!" Li Mingyue said.

"Hey, Mingyue, don't worry, I already have a lot of savings, just wait for me to save up enough military merits and move out of the Beitang house with you, we are far away, and we will no longer have any intersection with them." North Tang Yao Road.

Li Mingyue nodded lightly when she heard this, and suddenly grinned again: "I have good news for you." ”

Beitang Yao opened his eyes when he heard this, and said with interest: "Oh? What's the good news, you know, I love to hear your good news! ”

Li Mingyue whispered a few words in Bei Tangyao's ear, Bei Tangyao's eyes suddenly widened, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do: "Really! Haha, haha•••Mingyue, you really gave me a big surprise, I'm so happy! ”

Suddenly, Bei Tangyao seemed to think of something, and immediately bounced up, gently supported Li Mingyue, and said softly: "Oh, look at you, you can't be careless now, come and sit down, you have to take good care of yourself in the future, you know, don't do it yourself like making tea, massages and other work, we don't have no maids, don't move the fetus, haha, come, let me listen." Beitang Yao said and put his ear on Li Mingyue's stomach.

••••••

In the middle of the night, Beitangyao turned over and sat up, looked at Li Mingyue, who was sleeping soundly next to him, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, slowly got out of bed, carefully covered his wife with the quilt, and then tiptoed out of the room, turned around and gently covered the door.

The moon sprinkled her cold silver brilliance into the small courtyard without reservation, Bei Tangyao stood in the courtyard, quietly looking at the bright moon in the sky, he didn't move for a long time, and he didn't know how long it took, a cloak suddenly draped on his shoulders, Bei Tangyao was startled, and his body instinctively wanted to attack, but he stopped at the last moment.

"Mingyue, why did you come out, it's cold outside, you have to pay attention to your body." Bei Tangyao was secretly wiping his sweat, but he said softly.

At this time, the cloak on Beitangyao's body had already been draped, and Li Mingyue came to him, and while gently helping him tie the strap of the cloak, he said: "I woke up and saw that you were not around, and I knew that you must be outside, and I was worried that you would accidentally catch a cold, so I brought you a cloak over." ”

Seeing that his wife was also wearing a thick fur cloak, Beitang Yao finally put his mind at ease, and said with a smile: "Mingyue, you forgot, I am a martial artist, and my strength is not low, so I don't get sick so easily." ”

Suddenly, he saw Li Mingyue's eyes, and the somewhat aggrieved eyes seemed to say: "People care about you with good intentions, but you still don't appreciate it, you are a martial artist, but I am not." ”

In an instant, Bei Tangyao reacted, couldn't help but give himself a slap, and said, "Beat you stupid person who doesn't know how to do it, if you make Mrs. unhappy, see how I clean you up!" ”

Li Mingyue hurriedly grabbed his hand, and said coquettishly with some heartache: "Okay, people don't blame you." ”

Bei Tangyao stretched out his hand and hugged his wife in his arms, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and a voice suddenly came out in his heart: "Bei Tangyao, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for, but can you really let your wife be wronged and go to live in that shabby general's mansion with you, can you really bear to let your child be a head lower than others as soon as he is born, and he can only be a foil for others in the future, are you really so cowardly?" ”

However, at the same time as this voice sounded, another voice sounded: "Beitang Yao, you are the core figure of the Beitang family, the interests of the family are above everything, the stability of the family is above everything, and the development of the family is above everything, you can't be so selfish and ignore the family for your own desires!" ”

••••••

The next day, Bei Tangyao was called over by the second elder, who watched Bei Tangyao grow up since he was a child, and he also firmly believed that Beitangyao was more suitable for being the head of the family than Beitang leaving.

In the room of the second elder, looking at the second elder of Beitang Yao, he said lightly: "Yao'er, your eldest brother is coming back, what do you think?" ”

Beitang Yao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with some uncertainty: "What does the second uncle mean?" ”

The second elder sighed and said: "Hey, you are good at everything, but you lack a competitive heart, you know, there are some things you have to fight to get, if you don't fight, no one will give you things in vain, understand." ”

Beitang Yao lowered his head, of course he knew what the second elder was talking about, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke: "But Second Uncle, I'm afraid that once I fight with all my might, it will have a very bad impact on our Beitang family, after all, half of the high-level people in the family are towards the eldest brother." ”

"Hmph, isn't Beitang just relying on the identity of the eldest son, and is there the credit of the so-called genius of the Dongfang family many years ago, what about the rest, hum, pursued the third princess of the family, but the people didn't buy his account at all, and later married someone from the Ximen family, commanded the troops to fight, lost more and won less, if it wasn't for the head of the family to support him, I'm afraid even if he had ten heads, he would have been cut off, do you think such a person can lead the Beitang family to glory?" The second elder snorted coldly.

Beitang Yao let out a sigh, the second elder's words seemed to have ignited some desires in his heart, but the persistence that had been holding him back was still restraining him, and after a while, Beitang Yao calmed down and said: "However, there are quite a lot of supporters of the eldest brother, he must be unwilling to be replaced, once a counterattack is launched, our Beitang family is likely to fall into chaos, can the second uncle have a solution?" ”

The second elder smiled and said, "Yao'er, you still have too little experience, do you really think that all those people will support your eldest brother with all their might, hehe, you are wrong." ”

"Am I wrong?" Beitang Yao looked at the second elder inexplicably.

"Over the years, your father has really set up a young head of the family?" Second Elder Fan Wendao.

Beitang Yao thought about it seriously, and after a while, he slowly shook his head, and the second elder continued: "And the reason why so many people have always supported him is just because of his status as the eldest son and the fact that you have always had no intention of competing for the head of the family, so in everyone's impression, they subconsciously regard him as the only candidate for the next head of the family, and supporting him is just going with the flow." ”

Beitang Yao's eyes gradually lit up, and he continued: "In other words, if I stand up and compete with the eldest brother for the head of the family, then he won't have so many supporters, and the impact on our Beitang family won't be as big as imagined, right?" ”

The second elder nodded slowly and said, "At least your eldest uncle won't support him, but he won't support you either, but don't be too optimistic, your eldest brother is the eldest son after all, and he still has a lot of supporters, and your third uncle is his hardcore supporter." ”

"So second uncle, what should I do next?" Beitang Yao finally strengthened the mind of the head of the competing family and asked.

The second elder's face finally showed a knowing smile and said: "First of all, you have to go and win the support of more people, your eldest brother will come back in three days, so you have to win the support of more of your brothers and sisters in these three days, especially those who have direct elders who hold real power in the family, do you know what I mean?" ”

Beitang Yao nodded, and then the second elder continued: "As for those old guys, let the old man come forward to help you solve it, at least they won't let them really support your eldest brother!" ”

••••••

Beitang Yulin's recent days have become more and more prosperous, because his grandfather has entered the decision-making level of the family, and is still in charge of the family's financial power, while his father is following the head of the family to conquer the east, and I heard that he has made a lot of contributions this time.

Beitang Yulin was holding a folding fan in his hand, and a group of well-cultivated house slaves were proudly walking on the streets of Arctic City, and beside him, a very beautiful woman, a few years younger than him, stuffed a piece of peeled orange into his mouth.

"Well, sweet, it's really sweet, hehe." Beitang Yulin enjoyed it very much, but then looked at the extremely beautiful woman, and said: "Hey, the only fly in the ointment is that you have not been able to give birth to a boy and a girl for me for so many years. ”

The woman next to her was shocked when she heard this, her face became a little pale, and she said in her heart: "Continuation, what is called continuation, I am fine, do you want to give me ••••••?"

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she couldn't help but have a little bit of gleam in her big eyes, biting her lower lip tightly, Beitang Yulin was quite impatient when she saw her like this, and said: "Oh, you said that you look like this every time, annoying or not, I didn't agree, in general, you have been very satisfied with me over the years, but I don't understand, fuck, I've worked hard every day, why don't you have a reaction in your stomach." ”

Su Ying felt a little relieved when she heard this, and then she said softly: "I don't know, in fact, I also want to give you a son, but ••••••"

"Oh, forget it, it's useless for us to talk here for a long time, I begged the old man to invite a ninth-level alchemist from the family to give you a comprehensive examination, and you have to cooperate well when the time comes, you know, if you can pass this level, we will have a better time in the future." Beitang Yulin said with a big grin.

Su Ying bit her lip and held back the tears of grievance, because she knew what the so-called comprehensive inspection was, it would be better if the alchemist was a woman, but everyone knew that the ninth-level alchemists of the Beitang family were all old men, and it was said that one of them was still a good woman, and Su Ying didn't dare to continue thinking about it, but looking at the Beitang Yulin, it still looked indifferent.

At this moment, a guard from the Beitang family on the opposite side came over and saluted Beitang Yulin respectfully: "I have seen Yulin Gongzi, I am Yao Gongzi's guard, and on the order of my Gongzi, I have come to invite Yulin Gongzi to Zhenweixuan for a while." ”

Beitang Yulin showed an interested expression on his face when he heard this, and said, "Oh? Uncle Yao doesn't have anything to do with me, why does he think about finding this son? ”

The guard said respectfully: "The little one doesn't know, but the young man Yulin will know when he goes!" ”

Beitang Yulin shook the folding fan, pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, this son will go with you, in fact, I have long wanted to have a good talk with Uncle Yao, hehe." ”

A group of people came to Zhenweixuan, Beitang Yulin entered the private room alone, Beitang Yao was waiting for him at this time, but he was not alone, there were some other young children of the Beitang family next to him, but they all had a common characteristic, that is, their elders all had a certain power and status in the family.

"Haha, I didn't expect Uncle Yao not only to ask me alone, but also so many brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, Yulin will give you a gift." Beitang Yulin was only slightly stunned and laughed.

Beitang Yao also smiled and said: "Come on, come on, everyone is a family, sit casually, I will invite everyone here today, one is for us to contact and contact feelings, after all, we are all a family, but we can't be like strangers, haha." ”

Hearing this, everyone also laughed, and Beitang Yao continued: "These two are just thinking ~~ We are all young people, and the entire Beitang family will rely on us to support it in the future, so I just think we must be closely united, in that case, I believe that the family will definitely develop and grow under our management, haha." ”

Although Beitang Yao's words did not clearly express his wishes, but the people present had fully understood his intentions, Beitang Yulin closed the folding fan, gently tapped his palm, and said nothing, and the other dozen or so people present also looked pensive, and did not mean to speak first.

However, Beitang Yao was not in a hurry at all, and drank tea slowly, and suddenly, a beautiful-looking woman about thirty years old opened her mouth and smiled: "Giggles, I said everyone, what's wrong with you, Cousin Yao just called everyone to get together, why is it so heavy, come, let's talk about any new discoveries recently." ”

This woman's name is Bei Tang Qin, and she is one of the family members closest to Bei Tang Yao, and she has never stopped persuading Bei Tang Yao to compete for the position of head of the family, this time Bei Tang Yao's decision naturally won her all-round support, and now when she saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, she took the initiative to stand up and enliven the atmosphere, after all, such a big thing is not something that can be decided at once.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and then they began to build up in chaos, and Beitang Yao came to Beitang Yulin and sat down, chuckling: "Yulin seems to have been living a very leisurely life recently. ”

Beitang Yulin said with a smile: "Where did Uncle Yao say, I have always been leisurely, when I have nothing to do, I go shopping, fight, bully people, eat and drink, well, by the way, recently, I have fallen in love with fighting crickets again, but my luck is not too good, I didn't get a powerful one, and I was won several times by that guy from the Yao family, I was really depressed." ”

"Hehe, Yulin really enjoys life, I used to like fighting crickets, a few days ago one of my deputies went to the south on a business trip and came back, so he brought me a blue-headed general, that head is two or three times bigger than ordinary crickets." Beitang Yao said with a smile.

Beitang Yulin's eyes lit up violently, and then he laughed again: "Hehe, isn't Uncle Yao teasing me, deliberately hanging my appetite?" ”

"Look at what you say, I'm going to give you that blue-headed general, so that you can also enjoy it, not to mention how can I still have kung fu to play now." Beitang Yao said with a smile.

"Haha, then thank you Uncle Yao, I promise to let the blue-headed general take Uncle Yao's prestige to kill in all directions, the scenery is infinite, haha." Beitang Yulin stroked his palm and laughed.

Beitang Yao's face darkened, but then he sighed and said, "Hey, Yulin knows that you are coming back from your cousin." ”

"Uncle Cousin? He's gone, oh, he's coming back. Beitang Yulin said indifferently.

Beitang Yao was disdainful in his heart, it seems that this is really a standard loser, but fortunately he is not a descendant, if he didn't want to win over his grandfather and father, Beitang Yao would not even be in the mood to say a word to this Beitang Yulin, but at this time, Beitang Yao still forced the disgust in his heart and said: "It won't be long before your uncle will close the death gate and impact the realm of life and death, and you will probably have to establish the position of the heir of the head of the family when you come back from your cousin this time." ”

Beitang Yulin's eyes hidden under the half-closed eyelids suddenly flashed, but no one noticed it, and said lazily: "Hehe, if he wants to inherit the position of the head of the family, he will inherit it, and it proves that I, a prodigal, can't change anything, when the time comes, he will be his head of the family, and I will be my prodigal." ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know much about your cousin's personality, but what I can tell you is that he is different from your uncle." Beitang Yao smiled slyly.

••••••
