Chapter 59: Family Crisis
Mo Wentian and his party tiptoed to the roof of Hongxing's pawnshop, and with the strength of a few of them, under the operation of internal force, they didn't make a sound at all.
I saw Mo Wentian squatting down on the roof of the pawnshop, slowly lifting one of the tiles, and squinting his eyes to look inside.
At this time, Gusu Changfeng and Jiang Feng also came to Mo Wentian's side and looked down at Mo Wentian's gaze.
Below, in the Hongxing pawnshop, the shopkeeper whispered to the guy in front of him: "You hurry up and find the eldest prince now, just say that the second prince has come, and you want to try to remind the master of the family." ”
The fellow answered, and was just about to leave when he heard the shopkeeper speak again.
"Also, there are two people by the side of the second son, I'm afraid it is the rescuer invited by the second son, you must not disclose this matter, hurry up and inform the eldest son. ”
Although the shopkeeper's voice was very small, the three people crouching above the roof could still hear it clearly, and with the strength of several of them, even if they were dozens of feet away, they could hear what others were muttering.
Jiang Feng frowned, he just wanted to go down and catch this shopkeeper, but he was stopped by Mo Wentian and Gusu Changfeng at the same time.
Jiang Feng said in a cold voice: "What are you doing with them eating things like this, why don't you let me go down and give them a sword, so that they can go to see Lord Yama early!"
Gusu Changfeng said lightly: "Brother Jiang, no. Although this person has betrayed his father and taken refuge in his eldest brother, if we go down now, we will only startle the snake, so it is better to hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity to move. ”
Mo Wentian nodded slightly: "Brother Gusu is right, right now we are in the dark and they are in the light, instead of going down directly to break their plan, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole and think about it carefully." ”
Jiang Feng had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
The three of them jumped and jumped onto the street, it was already dusk at this time, although this small alley was in the center of the Northern Desert City, there were not many people coming and going on weekdays, not to mention that it was almost dark now.
The three of them slowly left the Hongxing pawnshop, found a random inn and walked in.
Mo Wentian asked for three good guest rooms, and then they went upstairs and came to a room together.
Jiang Feng glanced at Mo Wentian and Gusu Changfeng, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Now that the shopkeeper already knows our whereabouts, he must be the first to inform the eldest prince, what should we do now?"
Mo Wentian sat on the stool and thought silently.
At this moment, Gusu Changfeng spoke: "I think I should go back to Gusu's house in person now and inform my father of the news directly?"
Jiang Feng looked at Mo Wentian.
Mo Wentian sighed, set his eyes on Gusu Changfeng, and said lightly: "Is the Gusu family still completely in your father's hands now?"
Gusu Changfeng was silent for a while, and said softly: "My father handed over part of the power of the family to my eldest brother some time ago, and now in my father's hands, except for those family elders, there are not many left. Moreover, among those old guys, there are also some cronies of the eldest brother. ”
"In general, the power in my father's hands is now only about sixty percent. ”
"Liucheng, your father knew that your eldest brother was a wolf, why did he give him so much family power?" Mo Wentian asked with an eyebrow.
Gusu Changfeng smiled bitterly and said lightly: "My father has already told me that nominally I left the family this time, but in fact it is a means for my father to protect me. Moreover, I don't know what's going on, it seems that there are many forces supporting my eldest brother in recent times, and the reason why my father gave him so much power is that he wants to make my eldest brother repent as soon as possible, because in the final analysis, he is still my own brother and my father's biological flesh and blood. ”
"And the second is to take this opportunity to take a second look at whether the eldest brother is qualified to inherit the Gusu family, and now the result seems to be ......"
"Then what should we do now?" Jiang Feng asked anxiously.
Mo Wentian chuckled lightly and set his eyes on Gusu Changfeng: "Then it depends on the status of Brother Gusu in his father's eyes!"
......
Wuxia Mountain, Jiang family
Jiang Lie sat on a pear blossom wood Taishi chair, looked at Gusu Wuji on the seat at hand, and said lightly: "Virtuous nephew, our Jiang family wholeheartedly wants to help you this time and win the position of the head of the Gusu family, so there will be no worries at all." ”
Gu Su Wuji's face was feminine, his fingers twitched the teacup in his hand, and said softly: "Then how are you going to help me?"
Jiang Lie's face sank slightly, since this Gusu Wuji came to the Jiang family, he didn't look at him at all, the head of the Jiang family, relying on his identity as the sister-in-law of the Gusu family, he was extremely arrogant.
However, for the sake of the Jiang family's grand plan, Jiang Lie had no choice but to endure it.
Jiang Lie looked at Gusu Wuji deeply, and said softly: "Presumably you also know that my Jiang family can be regarded as one of the three families and five surnames, if I can raise the strength of the whole clan to help you, then you will definitely be able to sit in the position of the head of the Gusu family." ”
After a slight pause, Jiang Lie continued: "Moreover, judging from the news from my subordinates, your father Gu Su Xiao is not unwary of you now. Although he handed over part of the power in his hands to you, you must also know that the power in your hands is just some peripheral forces, and it does not control the core of the Gusu family at all. ”
Hearing this, Gu Su Wuji's face suddenly sank, how could he not know what Jiang Lie said?
The old guy from my father, on the surface, seems to be cultivating himself as the next head of the family, but in fact treats himself like an enemy. He thought that his little tricks could hide from Gu Su Wuji? In fact, Gu Su Wuji had already known that Gu Su Xiao had worked so hard just for his second brother!
Why is it that I, as the eldest son of the Gusu family, am not qualified to inherit the position of the head of the Gusu family? Where is that second brother Gu Su Changfeng stronger than himself? Why can't he do what he can!
A touch of ruthlessness appeared in Gusu Wuji's heart, and his eyes were full of endless murderous intent.
Since he was a child, Gusu Changfeng has always stood on his head, whether it is practicing or studying, almost nothing can beat Gusu Changfeng. And this also made Gusu Wuji have a grudge against Gusu Changfeng since he was a teenager, although he is a brother on the surface, but Gusu Wuji can't wait for his second brother to be cut by a thousand knives.
When the three brothers were young, their mother died of a strange disease. Moreover, Gusu Changfeng's various talents are above Gusu Wuji, which also causes Gusu Xiao to attach great importance to the second son, Gusu Changji's style, but neglects the cultivation of Gusu Wuji.
The seeds of hatred had been buried in Gusu Wuji's heart when he was young, and now as he grew older, the hatred in his heart had already turned into a bloodthirsty desire.
He wanted to see with his own eyes the second brother who had been invincible, kneeling at his feet, begging himself to spare his life.
He wanted to look at his so-called good father, prostrate on the ground, saying that he was better than his second brother!
It was precisely for this reason that after Jiang Lie sent someone to find him, he couldn't wait to come to Wuxia Mountain.
Because now he can't wait!
Gusu Wuji looked at Jiang Lie deeply, and Shi Li said, "Uncle Jiang, Wuji was reckless just now, please forgive me." ”
Gusu Wuji knew that the one who could help him the most at the moment was this Jiang Lie. If his strange temper makes him unhappy, then he really has no way to live in the Gusu family.
Although Gusu Wuji is insidious and cunning, it doesn't mean that he is a guy without brains, on the contrary, this guy is very smart, but this kind of cleverness is not used in the right place.
Jiang Lie stretched his eyebrows when he heard this, to be honest, the way Gusu Wuji talked to him just now made him feel quite unhappy as the head of the Jiang family, but the two of them wanted to rely on each other, so they tacitly didn't say it.
At this moment, seeing that Gusu Wuji had obviously changed his attitude, Jiang Lie also lowered his posture and said softly: "Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, to be honest, among the three sons in law of your Gusu family, the old man admires you the most." ”
"The second son, Gu Su Changfeng, is insidious and despicable, arrogant and arrogant, and the third son is dull and unmotivated. On the contrary, you are a virtuous nephew, who always thinks about the glorious lintel and carries forward the Gusu family in his own hands, and the old man admires you very much!"
Jiang Lie himself was about to blush when he said this, but the effect was very significant, and after hearing this, Gu Su Wuji immediately smiled, and his heart was so refreshing.
Look, this fucking thing is called talking!
Although Gusu Wuji also knew that Jiang Lie was touting himself, he liked this feeling very much.
"Uncle Jiang said with a smile, Wuji still knows how much strength he has, so don't brag about me here. ”
Jiang Lie stroked his beard and laughed: "Okay, then let's talk about business first." ”
A gleam flashed in Gu Su Wuji's eyes, is he finally going to talk about business?
Jiang Lie picked up the teacup on the table, gently blew a few tea leaves floating on the tea surface, took a sip slightly, and then said lightly: "Since this is the case, then I will tell the truth." ”
"Presumably you have also heard of it, that Gusu Changfeng is now very close to our Jiang family's rebel Jiang Feng, I have sent a capable man to arrest that Jiang Feng, but I didn't expect to be killed by these two people in the end. Therefore, our Jiang family can be said to have completely broken with Gusu Changfeng. ”
Gu Su Wuji frowned, he just heard what the Jiang family's messenger said about this matter, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Jiang Lie glanced at Gusu Wuji, and then said, "So, if you let your second brother Gu Su Changfeng become the head of the Gusu family, then our Jiang family will definitely not have any good fruits to eat." Therefore, Gusu Changfeng is not only your enemy, but also the enemy of my entire Jiang family, if we join forces, I will raise the strength of the whole clan to help you, and when the time comes, whoever you want to kill, I can help you achieve it!"
After speaking, he also took a deep look at Gusu Wuji.
Gusu Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then I don't know what Uncle Jiang can get from me?"
Gusu Wuji is not a fool, since Jiang Lie said so, then there must be some plan, otherwise people will have nothing to do to help him!
Jiang Lie chuckled lightly and said slowly: "Hehe, as long as you become the head of the Gusu family in this matter, it will not be a problem for you at all." I just hope that after you become the head of the Gusu family, you will still be able to think of me Jiang Lie, and think of the help that my Jiang family once provided to you, then I will be satisfied. ”
Hearing Jiang Lie say this, how could Gusu Wuji not understand what this old guy meant
The feeling is that I want to wait for myself to become the head of the Gusu family, with the help of my own strength. A sneer appeared at the corner of Gusu Wuji's mouth, hehe, even if I don't help you at that time, what can you do to me?
Still, on the surface, there are still some drops.
I saw Gusu Wuji clasping his hands into fists and said respectfully: "Uncle Jiang, don't worry, as long as you can help Wuji sit in the position of the head of the family, you will be the guest of honor of my Gusu family at that time, and the Jiang family will also become the best ally of our Gusu family!"
Damn, Jiang Lie, an old guy was waiting for this, and when he heard Gusu Wuji say this, he immediately burst out laughing.
"Okay, since you said so, nephew, then I, Jiang Lie, represent the entire Jiang family, and from now on, I will go all out to help you win the position of the head of the family. Jiang Lie said heroically.
Gusu Wuji looked at Jiang Lie and said slowly, "Uncle Jiang, to be honest, Wuji has one thing I want to ask you for help with right now. ”
Jiang Lie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, what is the matter, the virtuous nephew might as well say it directly, as long as our Jiang family can do it, I will never refuse!"
"Help me kill Gu Su Changfeng and Gu Su Yun, and send someone to catch Gu Su Xiao and those restless old guys in the family!"
Jiang Lie glanced at him deeply, nodded and said, "Okay! I will send killers to kill Gusu Changfeng and Gusu Yun now, and in addition, I will also give you dozens of masters of our Jiang family to help you gain a firm foothold in the Gusu family." ”
"Then there is Uncle Lao Jiang!" Gusu Wuji said with his hands in fists.
After Gusu Wuji left, an old man slowly walked from behind the screen behind Jiang Lie.
"Uncle Zhao, what do you think of this kid Gusu Wuji?" Jiang Lie glanced at the old man and asked with raised eyebrows.
The old man who was called Uncle Zhao chuckled lightly and said slowly: "Hehe, the eldest son of the Gusu family, he just relies on his identity." This son is insidious and cunning, ruthless and decisive, and he does not frown at his own brother and father, we must be careful when we cooperate with him in the future!"
"I also found out about this, that kid thinks he is hiding it well, but how can he escape my eyes? I'm afraid that he has no intention of fulfilling his promise, and after becoming the head of the Gusu family, he will cross the river and tear down the bridge for us!"
The old man stroked his gray beard and said softly: "You don't have to worry about this, I have a way to make him willing to be our slave when the time comes!"
Jiang Lie's eyes lit up when he heard this, damn it, if the head of the Gusu family became their slave, then who would the Jiang family be afraid of in the future? Even in the entire martial arts, there are not many forces that dare to come to them for trouble again, right?
"Uncle Zhao, what you said is true?"
"Of course, do you still think that I will lie to you? You should cooperate with that kid now, first help him eradicate Gusu Changfeng and Gusuyun, and control Gusu Xiao and those restless old guys in the family, only if he has a firm foothold, then it will be more helpful for our future plans!"
Jiang Lie looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "Okay!"
......
Northern Desert City
In an inn, Gusu Changfeng and Jiang Feng looked at Mo Wentian with frowns.
"Brother Mo, what do you mean by this, what do you mean by my status in my father's heart?" Gusu Changfeng asked with an eyebrow.
Mo Wentian chuckled lightly and said lightly: "If your father believes you, then I am seventy percent sure that I can help you through this difficulty, and if your father does not believe you, then there is nothing I can do......
"Brother Mo, what are your plans, hurry up, I'm dying!" Jiang Feng said with his mouth open beside him.
Mo Wentian glanced at him deeply: "Brother Jiang, don't mess up in case of trouble, otherwise you will mess up your own position, and you won't be able to think of any way!"
"Actually, the method I mentioned is that our group went directly to Runan City, chose a night and then sneaked into the compound of Gusu's family, found Brother Gusu's father, and told him directly in person. This is also why I said why I should consider whether his father believes him or not, if his father does not believe him, then our trip will be of no use at all, and his father will be regarded as an alarmist and frame the behavior of the eldest prince. ”
After a slight pause, Mo Wentian continued: "And if his father believes us, then I am seventy percent sure that he will be able to save the Gusu family from this crisis." Just imagine, how could his father, as the head of the Gusu family, not have some hole cards in his hand? Even if he handed over half of the power in the family to Gusu Wuji, then he would definitely have a lot of his cronies in these powers. ”
"Besides, Brother Gusu also said just now, in the Gusu family, there are still many old guys who are supporting him, even if Gusu Wuji can buy one or two, it will only be a mud cow into the sea, and it won't be able to make any big waves at all!"
Gusu Changfeng listened to it sincerely, and couldn't help nodding secretly, what Brother Mo said was all on point!
"Then let's get up and set off now!" Gusu Changfeng glanced at Mo Wentian and Jiang Feng, and said lightly.
"Good!"
