Winter thunder shook and snow fell.

The winter solstice has passed, with a winter thunder ushered in the New Year, on this day, the entire Guangling City is immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and only today is the day when the major families gather together.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion is not an exception.

Today's annual banquet, in addition to Dingguo Marquis Yang Huizong, the eldest princess Huangfu Jingrong, Liu, Yang Xiu, Yang Chen, these clan relatives, and some descendants were present, Dingguo Marquis was originally a martial marquis, and his lieutenants also got gifts, the entire banquet hall gathered together, at this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten the intrigue, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

After the banquet, the Marquis of Dingguo suddenly announced three things.

First, Yang Chen's coming-of-age ceremony and engagement with Lin Xiyao, although everyone knows about it, it has not been officially announced.

Second, Yang Huizong had just received an order to go on the Northern Expedition, and after he left, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion would be taken care of by the eldest princess Huangfu Jingrong.

Third, the prince Yang Xiu went out with the army.

This matter was planned by Yang Huizong a long time ago, it is impossible for his two sons to go to the sect to cultivate, and they must leave one to inherit his military power, Yang Huizong originally wanted Yangchen to inherit, and with Yangchen's talent, he could definitely make the Yang family army go to the next level, but considering that Yangchen's seven-grade life palace can only be maximized in the sect, so he chose Yang Xiu.

And there's another reason.

Yang Huizong knew that the two sons were not in harmony, and he was afraid that during his absence, the two sons would turn the Dingguo Marquis Mansion upside down, and separating them was the best decision.

After the three things were announced, the expressions of the Yang family members present changed subtly.

A trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess Huangfu Jingrongfeng, with Yang Huizong here, she has never had a suitable opportunity to do it, and now that Yang Huizong is on the expedition, her plan has finally been implemented.

Liu was a little worried, she was not stupid, of course she knew what Yang Huizong would face when he went on an expedition.

Yang Xiu is face is full of spring breeze, although he has lost the opportunity to enter the sect to cultivate, but it is a supreme honor to be recognized by his father and get the Yang family's army.

Yang Xiu looked at Yang Chen on the opposite side, with a provocative intent in his eyes, he kept in mind the humiliation of the last punch, and when he got Yang Jiajun, the first thing to eradicate was Yang Chen.

The surface of the dust has not changed, but the heart is happy.

Yang Chen will soon enter the sect, then he will leave the Liu family, at that time the Liu family is in the most dangerous situation, that is Yang Chen does not want to see, after nearly a year of getting along, Yang Chen has long been accustomed to this sudden family relationship, therefore, recently Yang Chen has been planning how to quietly eradicate the threat of the eldest princess, only by getting rid of the eldest princess, the Liu family can be safe in the Dingguo Hou Mansion.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion is heavily defended, and with Yangchen's current strength, he will never be able to kill the eldest princess quietly, just when he has nothing to do, Yang Huizong is about to go on an expedition, which can be described as a great joy for him.

As long as Yang Huizong and Yan Nantian were not in Dingguo Mansion, he was sure to remove the obstacles.

The New Year's banquet ended with everyone with different thoughts, Yang Chen sent Liu back to the courtyard, returned to his room, and was just about to meditate and practice, when there was a knock on the door, and the Marquis of Dingguo summoned him to the study.

Yang Chen came to the study and was about to knock on the door, when a sudden voice came from inside the door: "Come in." ”

Dusty shrugged his shoulders and pushed the door in.

This is a quaint room, the interior of the room is simple and ancient, except for the clean, there is no trace of luxury, it looks like an ordinary family's study.

This study is the exclusive room of the Marquis of Dingguo, and no one is allowed to enter it on weekdays, including the eldest princess and his most trusted lieutenant Yan Nantian, who is also the first time to come here when he is so big.

"Sit down. ”

Yang Huizong put away the ancient book of the art of war on the table, looked at Yang Chen and nodded.

"Are you looking for me?" asked after Yang Chen sat down, took a sip of the tea that had been placed in front of the table a long time ago.

"Hmm. Yang Huizong took a sip of tea and suddenly said, "Do you hate me?"

Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, hate, it is estimated that Yang Huizong refers to the treatment of their mother and son over the years, to be honest, since the fusion of the original owner's memory, his mood has also changed slightly, from the original owner's memory to know these Yang Huizong's practices, he is also a little indifferent in his heart, but he can't talk about hatred.

Yang Chen knew that most of what happened to their mother and son over the years was because Yang Chen couldn't cultivate, and in this world that admired martial arts, it was impossible to move an inch without strength, so he didn't attribute all this to the reason why Yang Huizong didn't protect their mother and son.

Seeing that Yangchen didn't make a sound, Yang Huizong smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have indeed snubbed your mother and son over the years, but don't worry, I will make up for your mother and son." ”

Hearing this, Yangchen shook his head and said, "There is no hate, there is no need to make up for it, if you really feel that you owe your mother, then treat her well in the future, just don't let her be hurt." ”

"I will. ”

Yang Huizong took a deep breath, and then, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Yang Chen, saying, "This is the ancestral jade of the Yang family, only the heads of the previous generations are qualified to have it, and now I will give it to you." ”

"Uh..."

Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, of course he knew that this piece of jade was the key to opening the 'Yang Family Tomb', which was a symbol of status, and each generation of family head candidates could inherit it, he never thought that Yang Huizong would give him this, it stands to reason that Yang Xiu is the eldest son of the Yang family, and he should also give Yang Xiu the heirloom position.

"I know what you think, Xiu'er is not suitable, and the Yang family can only play to an unprecedented peak in your hands. Yang Huizong said.

Yang Chen looked at Yang Huizong, who was holding a jade jue, and hesitated in his heart.

A piece of jade jue is not a big problem, but once it is taken over, it will indicate that it will carry the entire Yang family, and Yangchen is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of recovering the demon clan, and he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of this small Yang family.

However, when he raised his head and touched the hint of pleading in Yang Huizong's vicissitudes of life, Yang Chen's heart softened, sighed, and finally reached out to take the head of the family, Yu Jue.

Yang Huizong showed a smile of relief, and said: "This jade jue can not only open the ancient tomb of the Yang family, but also wear him on his body to protect the mind, which can make your mind clear and free of distractions, and it is also of great benefit to cultivation." ”

Yang Chen nodded and put Yu Jue on his neck.

"Okay, I can't participate in the spring festival in two months, I wish you all the best. Yang Huizong waved his hand and let the dust recede.

Yang Chen exited the study, and the moment he turned around, he happened to meet Yang Xiu, and the two brothers collided face to face, and they were stunned by each other.

Yang Chen was the first to come back to his senses and left without saying a word.

Yang Xiu stood in place for a long time and couldn't extricate himself, his palms clenched into fists, his nails dug into the flesh, his gums creaked, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, he was angry and wanted to kill.

Because, he saw the family master jade on Yang Chen's chest!
