Chapter 27: Counterattack
On that day, the wonderful battle between the two great talisman makers in the Qingyao Pavilion Fang City was not surprising, but in half a day, it was in full swing in the entire Fang City. There were many onlookers this time, and they who had personally monitored the power of Qiao Yu's talisman array, no matter how much they mentioned it to any monk, their words were wonderful, and they almost praised Qiao Yu as a god.
However, Qiao Yu was not overjoyed to win this challenge and become famous in Fang City. On the contrary, since he left Fang City, all the way, he has a lot of worries. In his mind, he was still thinking about Su Miaoyun's words before leaving.
There was obviously something more to that remark. She was just a talisman maker invited by the Green Medicine Pavilion, how could she know that Qiao Ba was hostile to her? However, Qiao Yu didn't think deeply about it, after all, it was uncertain whether the remarks of outsiders were true or false.
"Brother Xiaoyu, there is something I have been holding back in my heart for a long time, and I have to tell you now. Walking in Qiao's city, Qiao Lie looked at Qiao Yu with a worried face, and finally, he couldn't stop talking.
"Brother Qiao Lie, if what you said is not extremely urgent, let's talk about it another day. Today, I still have some things that I want to discuss with Brother Qiao Teng. When Qiao Yu heard this, he realized that his expression was too heavy, and immediately said with a smile.
"In that case, let's go to your house and talk. Qiao Teng also seemed to have something to say to the former, and immediately chimed in.
Qiao Lie, who originally wanted to say something, did not speak because of a small white and tender hand leaning out from behind him, tugging at his sleeve. When I came back to my senses, I found that the jade face with a vigilant gaze was slightly heavy.
It wasn't long before everyone said goodbye at an intersection. Before leaving, looking at the blue back that was gradually moving away, Qiao Hua couldn't help but sigh softly: "He seems to have a lot on his mind, and he only blames me for being incompetent and unable to help him solve problems." ”
"You girl, what's the matter? Qiao Lie has rarely seen his sister look like this since he was a child, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. This is really a love word.
On the way home, Qiao Yu and Qiao Teng talked about many things along the way.
Most of them are intra-clan affairs. Qiao Yu never asks about these things on weekdays, but because Qiao Ba secretly continues to use his power for personal gain, and even involves his own interests, he has been forced to the point where he has to try to fight back.
Qiao Teng was also extremely surprised by the many questions that Qiao Yu suddenly raised. On weekdays, the former rarely goes out, but in recent years it has returned to normal, and he rarely has contact with clan affairs, but it can be seen that there seems to be internal troubles in the clan. even learned that the Great Elder's family was in a position of power, and became more and more ambitious and did whatever they wanted.
In fact, Qiao Yuan, who is the patriarch, and his son Qiao Teng have long known about these things. It's just that because of the great elder's family, they have done their best and made great contributions to the clan, and now they have a high status, even they can't help it.
The situation within the clan is like the balance tilting, and it cannot be maintained in a state of checks and balances. Therefore, the Great Elder's family, because no one dared to stop them, became more and more arrogant, and now it has reached the point where it is out of control.
Qiao Yu had never mentioned it before, completely because he didn't know everything comprehensively. In addition, he didn't want to embarrass the patriarch because of his family's affairs, and even caused infighting within the clan, causing the family to decline.
However, after comprehensive consideration, Qiao Yu reluctantly found that there was only one way to eradicate the problem. That is to use strength, completely, and thoroughly suppress the other party in all aspects, and eliminate the opponent's arrogant ambition.
"I didn't expect the situation in the clan to be so bad. Above the main hall of the house, Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh after listening to Qiao Teng's explanation, "Now the Qiao family is still just a small family, and many drawbacks are not obvious, but in the long run, the clan will definitely fall into trouble because of the Great Elder's family, and it is not impossible to even more dangerous extermination." ”
"Brother Xiaoyu is right, it's a pity that no one in my clan can go toe-to-toe with the Great Elder's family, otherwise, my father and I wouldn't have to be so at a loss. Qiao Teng also sighed, with a little bitterness on his face.
An atmosphere of silence permeated the entire hall. Next to him, Qiao Zhen, who had been standing quietly in the back, listening to the conversation between the two. At this time, the big eyes of the water spirit would peek at the thin blue figure from time to time.
Before, she had heard that the son of the Six Elders was born a stupid hat. Of course, I have always believed that the amazing rumors of this kid in recent years are just nonsense. However, after this short one-day relationship, her attitude towards the former has almost reversed 360 degrees.
Because she found that this kid, known as the "stupid hat", is not only rigorous and intelligent, but also strategic, and extremely talented. If it weren't for the rumors, she probably wouldn't have thought that such a wizard would be a "stupid hat" before.
"Big brother, in fact, on the way here, I have already come up with a countermeasure, but this requires your full support, big brother. As long as my eldest brother believes in me, I will do my best, because it is very important for the survival of the family. After thinking about it for a long time, Qiao Yu finally made up his mind and said with a cautious face.
"If there is such a method, the virtuous brother will speak directly. Speaking of trust, if I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have told you this. Qiao Teng replied seriously.
"Okay, the method is very simple, it is to completely rectify the family style, weaken the power of the Great Elder in all aspects, and suppress them in all aspects to destroy their prestige. This may be difficult for the eldest brother or even the patriarch, but it must be done. Qiao Yu's cautious expression was full of determination. Obviously, he also made up his mind when he said this, after all, this is not a trivial matter.
"This is not easy to do, how to do it?" Qiao Teng's face also sank.
"The Great Elder has made great contributions to the establishment of the clan, and the most important thing is that he is refining medicine for the clan, his status is high and stable, and there are many supporters in the clan. His son Qiao Ba is very good at business, and he has been mixed in various markets all the year round, and he is young and promising in the shopping mall. Qiao Yu analyzed: "Speaking of which, the strength of the father and son is not enough to be afraid, the main thing is that they are inside and outside, developing extremely fast and growing in power, we should suppress it from the aspects of psychology and fame and fortune, this is the most direct and simple way." ”
Listening to Qiao Yu's simple analysis, Qiao Teng couldn't help but nod again and again, with a slight hint of approval in his eyes, and waited for him to continue.
"I have decided to teach them the method of talisman making by selecting some people with prestige or potential in the clan, and increase the strength of talisman making, so that not only in the market mall, can suppress the other party, even in the clan, it can also win the hearts of many people. This is one of them. ”
"Then, I need the eldest brother, together with the talisman makers promoted by me, to continue to win hearts and minds within the clan or outside the clan, and try to search for some news. Among them, including the evidence of their secret collusion with the Qingyao Pavilion, and the misdeeds they did to my father, combined with the oppression of other clansmen in the clan in recent years, in short, all the clues that were unfavorable to them were found. In the name of this, he made a plan to knock on the mountains and shock the tigers, check them in the clan and the market, and forcibly revoke some of their overlord rights. This is the second one."
"With both of them, they will understand our intentions and will act. We seized this opportunity to keep an eye on them, and if they had obvious misdeeds, we could directly suppress them. If not, I will continue to confront each other and drag out enough time, and I will use the next two years, less than two years, to cultivate hard, and strive to defeat Qiao Ba with strength above the clan comparison, so it is the so-called all-round suppression. This is the third one. ”
"Finally, and most importantly, we are not dealing with them to kill them. After all, we are all a big family, and if they are confused for a while and go down the wrong path, we will help them turn back, not to the point of fighting each other with death. Combining the above three points, we are both endeavours and powers, and we have sown good practices in the clan and completely corrected the clan style. In this way, I believe that the problem has been solved. ”
When he saw Qiao Yu's words, the analysis was well-organized, powerful, and rational. Qiao Teng's expression of approval of the former was a little stronger, and he exclaimed: "Okay, it is worthy of being praised as a young star of our clan, and the wisdom of a virtuous brother really surprised me." I will tell my father about your method, and I believe that he will give his full support. ”
Immediately afterwards, the two discussed some details together, and it was not until it was getting dark that Qiao Teng and Qiao Zhen prepared to leave together. Standing in front of the gate, the latter seemed to be a different person, completely losing the posture of the proud girl of the previous day, but lowering his head, his little hands kept playing, and he looked like a little daughter.
"Well, that, Xiaoyu, I apologize to you for being disrespectful to you before, I hope you won't mind. Qiao Zhen muttered words in her mouth, and between her words, her pretty face was flushed.
Seeing this, Qiao Teng couldn't help but raise his head and laugh a few times, and said jokingly: "Brother Xian, this little princess of my family, I grew up, she has almost never shown this little daughter posture in front of any man, even me, who is an elder brother, but it really makes me ashamed." ”
"Actually, at first, I was a little mindful, because I thought my eldest brother's move was very inappropriate, but now it doesn't matter. Qiao Yu smiled lightly.
"Oh, is it?" Qiao Zhen responded, and for some reason, seeing the other party's indifferent appearance, she felt a little lost in her heart.
"Okay, I see that the selection of people in the clan and the learning of talisman making with the virtuous brothers, the selection of the young children will be handed over to you, who calls you this ghost girl, who doesn't do business on weekdays, just likes to mess around with some noble disciples. Qiao Teng laughed.
"Really, great, I guess those guys will be excited to death when they hear this, and I'll be able to play it off by then." When Qiao Zhen heard this, she immediately smiled happily.
"You girl, you like to play tricks all day long, I see who dares to marry you in the future. Qiao Teng teased, but his eyes fell on Qiao Yu without a trace. There was a slight meaning here, which made the former's face immediately blush.
"In this case, some of the older generation of clansmen have bothered the eldest brother to personally select them, and when the time comes, they can come here directly to find me. Qiao Yu didn't think much about it, and said indifferently.
This is a simple statement, but it is enough to prove many problems. First of all, although Qiao Yu is selfish, he will not destroy the interests of the family, and he will put all the choices in Qiao Teng's hands. This is not to prove anything, but to be a principled attitude.
Seeing Qiao Teng and the two go away, Qiao Yu looked at the Qiao family who came and went in front of the street, looked up at the sky again, looked up at the sky, looked solemn, and closed the door and went back to the house. Once you have a counterattack strategy in place, you need to work hard to implement it. He also knows in his heart that there is still a lot of effort he needs to put in in order to really succeed.
