Chapter 757: A Chain of Tricks (Part II)
The sunset is gradually setting, drunk and stained with dust red, and Bianliang City is shrouded in an afterglow and sunset. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info seems to be a calm bustling city, but it reflects the mottled afterimage, like a faintly beating drumbeat, trembling with the ups and downs of people's hearts, uneasy. The war is coming, the people are panicking, the whole city reflected by the sunset is no longer the bustling city that once lived and worked in peace and contentment; the seemingly gorgeous eaves attic, carved dragons and phoenixes, like the last wisp of the picture scroll before the spread of the sea of fire, with desolation in fear......
Nangong and Murong are the two great families that they were once proud of, but because of the troubled world, they also want to be stormy. "Qianqiu Tower", this as a symbol of the Nangong family building, now it is like a lonely pole standing, in this ancient city that has experienced the vicissitudes of life, under the afterglow of the sunset, the sadness is lined with the last "white", the glory and glory of the past, as if the desolation is the final swan song.
And the Murong family's "Bishui Yao Pool" is no longer fresh and beautiful on weekdays, reflecting the blood-red sunset, and the prosperity and obsolescence of the decline are difficult to hide. With the troubled times and getting lost, the former prosperity is gone, leaving only a sad afterimage, reflecting the ups and downs of the past that is not stopped......
The Nangong Murong family is well known to the world, but in the past two years, it has become more and more depressed due to the ups and downs of the troubled times. Especially when Nangong Jun and Murong Fei left home in the north two years ago, the descendants of the two families have few aspirants. The two major families, which were once intrigued and hostile to each other, now seem to be even more difficult to protect themselves and reproduce in this troubled era......
Nangong family, among the "Seven Sons of Nangong", there is still the eldest brother Nangong Cheng who presides over the family lineage, even if the family is sluggish, he can barely pass on the descendants, but the Murong family's "Murong Sishao" is a worrying situation, since the only ambitious Murong Fei ran away from home, the other three are all unscrupulous children, squandering the family's money all day long, and even fighting each other for the family heir. For this reason, Murong Zun, the head of the Murong household, also complains about his godson for having no way, complaining about his nature all day long, and from time to time he misses the former Murong Fei and regrets the "angry thing" that once drove him out of the house......
Among the "Murong Four Youths", the eldest son Murong Xin is the most unrestrained, not only has no ambitions, but also takes pleasure in money and women all day long, and even colludes with bandits to help his children and deal with people in disorder. Relying on himself as the future heir of the Murong family, he often does evil in the city and hooks up with the court, which ruins the reputation of the Murong family......
This day was no exception, Murong Xin had nothing to do, but he took the gangsters outside, and the glamorous woman in the unknown place, to gather in front of his own "Bishui Yao Pool" to drink and have fun, not only acted extremely perversely and harmlessly, but was drunk and reckless, which is not what a son-in-law should be......
"Come, go on...... Drink!-" Murong Xin seemed to be a little drunk, and accompanied his "fox friends and dog friends" to get drunk and have fun.
"Childe, your amount of alcohol is really not small, the little woman admires it very much, hehe......hee" Next to Murong Xin, a woman with heavy makeup and charm showed her charm, and said deliberately teasingly.
"Beauty, your mouth is so sweet, I'm going to ...... tonight Punish and punish you......" Murong Xinyi took the woman into his arms and scratched his nose without self-discipline.
"Childe, you hate ......" The woman also deliberately pleased Murong Xin, moving like a cat in his arms, teasing Murong Xin's heart.
When a rough man below saw it, he drank and laughed: "Murong Gongzi is really Yaxing, he invites us to have fun in the 'Bishui Yao Pond' all day longββ"
The person who spoke was called Cheng Kui, a well-known gangster in Bianliang City, who could use a few martial arts skills and often oppressed the common people in the city. Relying on the human rights of the Murong family, he and Murong Xin, the eldest son of the Murong family, became "dog friends", and for this reason, Cheng Kui took the "brothers" around him to be more unscrupulous and domineering in the city.
"Isn't it? My Murong Xin's friend can accompany my son to drink wine and eat meat anytime and anywhere...... As long as you follow this son, your blessings are indispensable-haha......" Murong Xin raised his index finger in drunkenness and said unscrupulously.
"But, Son, you look like this every day, aren't you afraid that your old man will know?" Cheng Kui said inadvertently.
Who knows, Murong Xin was disdainful, shook his wine glass, got up and patted his chest and said, "Cut, I'm afraid that old man will do something...... This son is the eldest son of the dignified Murong family, and once my father dies in the future, the Murong family will be mine...... Hmph, everything is mine, I can spend money as much as I want, I can play with any woman I want, who can control me...... Don't worry, when I become the master of the Murong family, I will make all your brothers happy......"
However, it should have been a "happy" sentence, and the people who were drinking below looked behind Murong Xin, but their eyes were full of surprise, and the wine was suddenly gone.
Murong Xin didn't know what was going on, looking at the dumbfounded looks of the people in front of him, he thought that they thought they were drinking too much and bragging, and then asked rhetorically: "What's wrong with you, why do you all have this expression? Why, don't believe what I said......
The people below still didn't speak, and they didn't even look at Murong Xin, but looked behind Murong Xin.
"What is so much chatter...... Murong Xin muttered to himself, slowly looking back with a sense of wine.
However, the sudden appearance of the face behind him also startled him......
"Daddy...... Daddy ......" Murong Xin sobered up a little, and his eyes were also extremely frightened - that's right, his father Murong Zun, who didn't know when he appeared behind him, looked at the way he spent drinking all day long, his father must have been on fire, and just now he said such a "big rebellion", Murong Xin knew in his heart that a severe reprimand was inevitable......
"You are very bold, dare to say such a thing......" Murong Zun had a cold expression on his face, extremely disappointed in his son, and severely reprimanded, "If you don't do your job every day, you will spend money and enjoy yourself, and you will indulge in wine...... Now you are still handing over these people with bad quality everywhere, and you have made our Murong family into a miasma, you have simply disgraced our Murong family!"
Cheng Kui, who was under the "cut ......", heard Murong Zun say that he was "inferior in quality", and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"You guys, hurry up and get out of here, don't let me see you step into Murong House again!" Murong Zun was really angry, and scolded the drunken crowd in the audience.
When some timid men and women heard this, they were frightened and walked out of Nangong's house in disgrace. Cheng Kui just glanced at Murong Zun with disdain, as if he was very jealous in his heart, and then left without looking back......
Murong Xin knew that he had annoyed his father, although he was very unhappy with his father's appearance, but in front of his father, he couldn't contradict it, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Okay, Dad, I was wrong, don't you get angry again, next time I won't let them come again?"
However, Murong Xin's tone was full of alcohol, and Murong Zun became angry when he heard it, and a slap of "pop-" slapped his son's face mercilessly.
Murong Xin felt a hot pain on his face, and he woke up a lot, seeing that he admitted his mistake and recruited his father to beat him, Murong Xin suddenly felt unhappy, turned around and said, "I treat you as my father, and you still beat me if I admit my mistake to you...... Hmph, I respect you as my father, so I am so polite, if you provoke me, and you want the fourth brother to leave, I see who you leave the inheritance of the Murong family...... "I don't know if I drank too much wine, or if I was really angry, Murong Xin dared to say such things in front of his father.
"Great rebellion!" Murong Zun was already extremely angry, kicked over the wine table in front of him, pointed at Murong Xin's nose and said, "Let me tell you, as long as I live, you don't want to get the position of the Murong family!" I am forty and five this year, as one of the seven heroes of the martial arts today, I am strong and strong, and the prestige of the martial arts coexists, and I can live for at least fifty years-as long as I live for one day, you will become an old bone like me, and I will not hand over the position of the Murong family to you!!"
When Murong Xin heard this, his nose was crooked, and at his father, Murong Xin also said unceremoniously: "Hmph, it's already an old man, and he's still so stubborn!"
After hearing this, Murong Zun became more angry, pointed his finger at the door and said, "Get out of me immediately!" Teaching such a son is really a shame for the Murong family, I don't want to see you again!! get out of me-"
"Hmph-" Murong Xin was also angry, he was severely reprimanded by his father, and he also kicked himself out of the house, Murong Xin didn't look back this time, took the wine bottle that he didn't finish drinking, and rushed out of the family compound angrily......
After his son left, Murong Zun was also so angry that he didn't calm down for a long time, standing in place panting. After a long time, after calming down for a while, Murong Zun secretly said in his heart: "Hey, now my sons are all so perverse, and the future of the Murong family is hopeless...... I think at the beginning, if I hadn't driven Fei'er away, he would have been my favorite successor...... It's a pity, creation makes people......"
Thinking of Murong Fei, the fourth son who was "kicked out" from the house by himself two years ago, was the only son he valued, but because of the marriage he had and ran away from home, Murong Zun couldn't help but sigh in his heart......
Outside the Murong compound, Murong Xin, who was kicked out, was drinking wine in a bad mood while venting the unhappiness in his heart......
"you!-" Murong Xin finished drinking the wine and slammed the wine jug on the ground, making a crisp sound, and the citizens on both sides of the middle road saw it and were afraid to dodge.
"Hmph, obviously I have an old bone, and I still bite the seat of the Murong family...... Murong Xin vented, and cursed to himself, "I am the eldest son of the Murong family, and the position of the master of the Murong family should be mine...... Look at it, it's mine, sooner or later I'll snatch it back--when I become the heir of the Murong family, everything is mine, whatever I want, even my father can't control me......"
After speaking, Murong Xin gasped on the spot, as if he continued to vent the anger in his heart......
"Yo, the eldest son of the Murong family, why would he be so resentful?" Suddenly, a sneering mockery came from behind Murong Xin.
"Who is so bold as to dare to comment on our Murong family behind their backs?" Murong Xin suddenly heard someone taunting, and unconsciously felt that this person had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and then turned around and asked.
However, when he looked back, he was a little stunned - the one who appeared behind him was Wang Dasheng, the general of Bianliang.
"General Wang?" Murong Fei knew that Wang Dasheng was ruthless, but relying on his status as a member of the Murong family, he was not very afraid, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what kind of wind blows General Wang here, or come alone without any guards......
"Isn't it normal to not bring guards? Do you think anyone in this Bianliang City would dare to take the initiative to sneak attack General Ben?" Wang Dasheng first teased unintentionally, and then pulled the topic to Murong Xin and said, "It's you Murong eldest prince, looking at your unhappy face, you are angry everywhere, and you were driven out by your father again...... It seems that your father is indeed an old stubborn and unwilling to give up the position of the Murong family to you......"
"Who won't you give it to me?" Murong Xin asked rhetorically, "My other two younger brothers are more sloppy than me, and they are secretly intriguing with me, in fact, I see them all in my eyes, as long as I move my fingers casually, I can hold them down and shut them up...... When my father dies, he will naturally give up the position of the Murong family, what am I worried about?"
"No, no, no, Murong Gongzi is one less person...... Wang Dasheng shook his index finger and deliberately "provoked".
"One less person?" asked Murong Xin.
"'Murong Sishao' is four people, you can't forget him......" Wang Dasheng deliberately reminded.
"You said Murong Fei?" Murong Xin heard this, and said with a cold smile, "Hmph, I left home with my sister two years ago, and I haven't heard from me at all, so I don't know where to fool around...... Even if my father didn't give me the position of heir for the time being, he would never give it to him - I didn't hear from him for two years, I didn't know if he was dead or alive, and I was worried about what he was afraid of......"
"Then do you know how he's doing now?" Wang Dasheng asked with a sneer.
"How's the mix?" Listening to Wang Dasheng's tone, Murong Xin felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, and continued to ask.
Wang Dasheng then said: "He is now under Zhu Yuanzhang's account, and he often meets the right wing cavalry general of the five absolute phalanxes of the three vanguard armies on the left of the spring, one of the 'five pioneers', and has made great achievements, and now with 20,000 soldiers and horses, he is slowly pressing the border towards Bianliang......
"What are you talking about, he is now a general?" Murong Xin said incredulously when he heard it.
"I can't imagine that there will be such a big change in just two years, but people have experienced a lot of things outside and become the general of an army, unlike you sons who enjoy themselves in the ivory tower all day long......" Wang Dasheng continued to sneer, "Your father Murong Zun is one of the seven heroes of today's martial arts, and he understands the righteousness, if Murong Fei leads the army to break through Bianliang and rescue the people in the city, he will definitely be greatly appreciated by your father, and the position of the heir of the Murong family will naturally be his ...... at that time."
"What did you say? This ...... How is this possible...... "After listening to Wang Dasheng's words, Murong Xin was not only surprised by his brother's achievements after not seeing him for two years, but also felt that Wang Dasheng's words were not unreasonable, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Now you understand, the position of the master of the Murong family has never been said to be your Murong Xin......" Wang Dasheng smiled fiercely, as if he was calculating something.
"No, absolutely not...... Murong Xin shook his head, and said with a slightly crazy expression, "The Murong family is mine, I won't give it to that guy, absolutely not!"
"But now it seems that this is not the case...... Wang Dasheng sneered, "If Murong Gongzi wants to get the position of the Murong family, General Ben can help you...... If you want to seize the position of the Murong family, you must eradicate the people who obstruct you, and the first to bear the brunt of this is naturally your father Murong Zun......"
"You said you want me to get rid of my father?" Murong Xin immediately shook his head and said, "No, he is my father, I can't do this!" It seems that although Murong Xin said that he was jealous of his father, if he really wanted to attack his father and do something rebellious, Murong Xin could still maintain his sanity and decisively refuse.
"Then there is only one last way......" Wang Dasheng glanced his head to one place and said intently, "Get rid of Murong Fei-"
"You said to get rid of him?" Murong Xin heard this, and said in disbelief, "I had this plan two years ago, but unfortunately it didn't succeed, his martial arts are so strong, and our three brothers together are not his opponents...... And according to what General Wang said, now he is the 'vanguard tiger general' under Zhu Yuanzhang's account, commanding the army of one side, and it is even more impossible to kill him-"
"But there's a chance right now...... Wang Dasheng said with a bad heart...... (To be continued.) )
