Chapter 155 - The family is obscure
Tongli Ancient Town, Jijia Furong Xuan.
Furong Xuan is the courtyard where Ji Furong, the eldest lady of the Ji family, lives, and there are several people standing in Furong Xuan at this time, including Ji Furong's elders and a fresh face.
'Squeak' The door opened, and a maid walked out of Ji Furong's boudoir, followed by Ma Daoren.
Ma Daoren looked at the several people with different expressions in front of him, and said loudly: "The eldest lady is fine, please go back." ”
One person walked out of the crowd, it was the younger brother of the head of the Ji family, and also the second uncle of Ji Furong, named Ji Daozong.
Ji Daozong opened his mouth and asked, "Has Furong woken up?"
Ma Daoren shook his head and said: "As long as you have a good life and recuperation, it will definitely return to normal, but you can't use force in the short term." ”
"Huh?" Ji Daozong's face changed instantly, and he asked very anxiously: "How is this good? Tomorrow's martial arts competition will start to recruit sons-in-law, and Furong needs to play in person." Mr. Ma, is there any medicine that can heal the wound quickly?"
Before the man could speak, a woman's voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Furong's body doesn't have to worry about the second brother, the second brother only needs to take care of his own affairs. ”
The one who spoke was a woman who had just come out of Ji Furong's boudoir, she was of moderate stature, with a thin face, and a temperament that was not angry but mighty.
The woman is the wife of the head of the Ji family, that is, Ji Furong's mother.
Ji Daozong smiled, he didn't get angry because of Mrs. Ji's blunt words, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I am Furong's second uncle and one of the Ji family's stewards, how can I not care about the Ji family's top priority?"
"The Ji family's top priority?" Mrs. Ji asked rhetorically, and said in a cold tone: "Could it be that the Ji family's top priority is to force Furong to die?"
Ji Daozong didn't care about Mrs. Ji's attitude at all, and continued: "Sister-in-law's words are too cold for the hearts of big guys, I also want Furong to find a wishful husband, but the eldest brother is not biased, do you have to engage in any martial arts competition to recruit sons-in-law, and find someone who is destined."
Our family has been in decline for decades, and there has never been any destined person, and now it is enough to find it. Instead of tossing around like this, it is better to find a good in-law for Furong as soon as possible. ”
Mrs. Ji looked at the few people in front of her one by one, and said with a smile: "Your so-called good mother-in-law's family is to let Furong be a concubine? This is the style of a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years? If this is the case, it is better to fall apart than to survive." ”
Ji Daozong said shamelessly: "Furong's niece can be the concubine of the young master of the Xiao family, it is her blessing, and it is also the blessing of the Ji family, as long as we climb this big tree, our Ji family can sit back and relax." At that time, it is not impossible to revitalize the family, even if the family goes to the next level. ”
Mrs. Ji looked coldly at her husband's own brother, and sneered indifferently: "Why don't you marry your daughter into the Xiao family? Why don't you want to be the in-law of the Xiao family?"
Ji Daozong was like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, and immediately jumped up and said: "My son already has a marriage contract, how can he easily lose his trust? Besides, Xiao Gongzi's appearance is the appearance of Furong's niece, what does it have to do with my son." ”
Mrs. Ji looked at the jumping clown who was jumping on her feet, and said coldly: "Ji Daozong, don't think that I don't know when you let your daughter out, do you have to let me demolish you in front of everyone?"
Ji Daozong, who was called by his name, smiled coldly and said disapprovingly: "What does my sister-in-law know? The old ancestor intended to entrust me with the position of head of the family when he was in retreat, so the affairs of the Ji family are my affairs, and I can do whatever I want." ”
Ji Daozong turned his head and glanced at the scar-faced man standing behind him, the man grabbed his five fingers, and the dead leaves that were originally lying quietly on the ground moved, spiraling into the air as if they were being sucked by a tornado, and finally pinched into his hands.
The scar-faced man looked at the withered leaf in his palm and smiled: "Everyone says that Ma Dao is the second master of the Ji family, I have never believed it, but I don't have the opportunity to learn it, today is a good opportunity, I can be on a par with Brother Ma." ”
Ma Daoren took a step forward and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be such a master under the second master, it was Ma who didn't know Mount Tai with his eyes." ”
The scar-faced man just sneered and walked towards the Ma Dao man.
A gust of wind suddenly blew in the otherwise silent courtyard, tearing off the dead leaves hanging on the branches.
But in the blink of an eye, the Scarface Man had been battling the Madao Man for several rounds.
The Scarface Man's weapon was a thick-backed machete that was more than three feet long, but the handle was different from a normal machete.
Ma Daoren had just finished checking Ji Furong's pulse, so he was empty-handed.
A pair of fleshy palms against a thick-backed machete.
There seems to be no suspense at all about who will win and who will lose.
The knife marks are broken, and the palm shadow is continuous.
After a dozen moves, there was suddenly a faint smell of blood in the air.
The Madao man was stabbed in the chest.
The sharp blade cut through his shirt, leaving a half-foot-long cut in his chest.
The scar-faced man wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill the Ma Dao people, but was stopped by Ji Daozong.
Ji Daozong looked at the Ma Dao man with a depressed expression, and said: "Mr. Ma is a rare talent, can you be willing to submit to me? If I become the head of the Ji family, Mr. Ma can enter the Enlightenment Garden to participate in enlightenment and practice." ”
Ma Daoren snorted and scolded: "Do you think that everyone else is like you, and the wolf ambition does not know how to be grateful? ”
Ji Daozong was annoyed and angry, and shouted: "Kill this pockmark for me, I will break his body into ten thousand pieces." ”
The scar-faced man swung his long knife and was about to strike again when a teacup shot out of Fleur's boudoir.
With a crisp cracking sound, the scar-faced man's knife was half a foot off, and only a strand of Ma Dao's hair was cut off.
An untimely person walked out of Ji Furong's boudoir and stood quietly under the eaves, looking at the people in the courtyard with a calm face.
After Ji Daozong saw the visitor, he subconsciously took half a step back, but then reacted that his eldest brother's cultivation knew for himself that he was just a sick man who had been in the seven-rank realm for more than ten years.
The fright was followed by a burst of unbridled laughter.
Ji Daozong's eyes, who almost laughed out of tears, suddenly sounded the warm scene when the three brothers stood together at the gate of the Ji family Wuyuan when they were children, and clearly remembered that the eldest brother's ambition was to be a Confucian general who commanded the three armies, and the third brother said that he wanted to revive the prestige of the family and regain the glory of his ancestors in the past, and he wanted to be a pure martial artist, the kind of martial artist who could reason with the whole rivers and lakes.
At that time, the three brothers were close, but there were some obscure events that were difficult for outsiders to know about in their youth, which caused the three brothers to go their separate ways, and there was no previous harmony and family affection, only boundless hatred.
Today, the eldest brother Ji Ying is already a complete sick seedling, and his cultivation is stuck in the realm of seven grades and there is no progress; the third brother Ji Daozheng is a man of all sides, absorbing some Jianghu guests, and has become a force that cannot be ignored by the Ji family, and has guarded the Ji family Wuyuan all the year round.
is only himself, because of the events of the year, his cultivation has not improved in the slightest, and he wasted his rare talent in vain, and all of this is because of the mistake of his eldest brother Ji Ying.
Ji Daozong wiped the corners of his eyes, and ordered in a cold tone: "Kill this sick seedling." ”
The man with the scar stopped staring at the man and focused all his attention on the pale-faced man under the eaves.
The pale figure was Ji Ying, the head of the Ji family, he slowly walked down the steps, no longer had the previous elegant demeanor, looked at his younger brother with a fierce face, and said in a cold voice: "Daozong, I originally thought that we could live in peace, I originally thought that there would be no war within our Ji family, but I didn't expect that you would hate me so much that you would take revenge on me at the expense of external forces." ”
Ji Daozong seemed to have heard a big joke, and said through gritted teeth: "Why don't I hate you? It was you who ruined me, it was you who made it impossible for me to cultivate, and it was you who made me a wasted person whose cultivation had stagnated. I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill all the people in the long house, otherwise I'm sorry for my bitterness for more than 20 years. ”
Ji Ying coughed, his cough was full of pain, as if this cough made his heart, liver, spleen and stomach painful, he covered his mouth and said vaguely: "Daozong, you should wait until tomorrow to recruit a son-in-law, but unfortunately you are not willing to wait, just like you used to, you only like to take shortcuts, which is very bad." ”
Ji Daozong looked at the chattering eldest brother in front of him with great resentment, and said with smugness all over his body: "So what? As long as I can slash you, I will not hesitate to recover from all calamities." ”
Ji Ying put down the hand covering his mouth, his palm was bloody, he looked at his younger brother with a face full of resentment, and said softly, "You go on." ”
Ji Daozong smiled and said: "I have been waiting for many years, and I finally waited for the opportunity, and today is the day of my revenge." ”
Ji Ying said flatly: "It's a pity that it can't be as you wish, the helper you invited may not be my opponent." ”
Ji Daozong rubbed his sour cheeks and sneered: "If others say this, I will listen carefully, but this is really unconvincing when it comes from your mouth." ”
Ji Ying turned his head and glanced at the direction where the old ancestor retreat was located, and said in a low voice: "In this case, then I will clean up the portal on behalf of the old ancestor, after all, this family is already rotten and not decent, if it continues like this, the Ji family will really be finished, I hope my father can understand in the spirit of heaven." ”
Ma Daoren stretched out his hand and motioned for Mrs. Ji to retreat, after all, he was the only one in the Ji family who knew the depth of Ji Ying.
Mrs. Ji hesitated for a moment, slowly retreated under the eaves, and looked at her husband with a worried expression.
Ji Ying turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Ji deeply, and smiled lightly, with an indescribable sense of security in her smile.
Ji Daozong looked at his eldest brother Ji Ying, who was getting closer and closer, with a disappreciative expression, and sneered: "What's the matter, the eldest brother is going to kill me with the cultivation of the seventh grade?"
Ji Ying shook his head and said, "The Ji family is not broken or standing, it's time to sweep up the old ashes in the house." ”
"If I had to choose again, I would still do it. ”
"It is said that the second brother's cultivation talent is the best, but I don't think so, at least you can't compare to me. ”
Every time Ji Ying said a word, he took a step forward, and after saying three sentences, he was already standing in front of Ji Daozong.
