Chapter 880 880: Warlords’ clear flow [please ask for monthly tickets]
"Xu! Wen! Note!"
As soon as Mrs. Mi Bang walked to the corridor outside the study, she heard Wu Xian''s repressed and out of control growling. The son holding her hand beside her was so scared that he shrank his neck, grabbed her sleeve and refused to move forward, and his eyes flashed with timidity. Mrs. Mi Bang gently stroked the back of his head and acted to comfort her son''s emotions. The mother and son were waiting for the summons in the corridor. After a while, the door of the study quietly opened.
The visitor is the personal guard beside Wu Xian.
The latter whispered to remind her that Wu Xian was not in a good mood at this moment, so she must not get into trouble. Mrs. Mi Bang nodded slightly and thanked in a low voice. Wu Xian in the study noticed that the two of them were approaching, and then he restrained his momentum, but the atmosphere was still suffocating.
“Ah Father!”
Mrs. Mi Bang saluted Wu Xianfu.
Compared to her restraint, her son is much more lively. The child looked at Wu Xian with pure admiration and asked frankly: "My grandma said that my son grew one year older today. Father, do you see if his son is taller than yesterday?"
Three points of the gloom on Wu Xian''s face dissipated.
He stroked his son''s head and said, "It''s indeed a little taller."
Mrs. Mi Bang stood on one side and observed carefully, as if helpless: "This child is still thinking about the promise of the Lord the day before yesterday. She started to make a fuss before dawn today. I was so entangled by him that I couldn''t do anything."
Wu Xian had a blank expression: "It''s okay."
Mrs. Mi Bang was afraid of stepping on the thunder, so she sat for a while and left with the excuse of making her son a longevity face. Unexpectedly, Wu Xian also stood up. Seeing her timid and flattered look, Wu Xianyi pointed out: "Some things have been done, and it''s useless to be angry."
This matter is obviously related to the "Xu Wenzhu".
Mrs. Mi Bang has some connection with Xu Jie.
Before she entered Wu Xian’s backyard, she was a dancer.
Wu Xian bought her at a high price and temporarily placed her in Xu Jie''s mansion. She also put her innocence as a "distant relative of Xu" as a fig leaf. After settling down, she was picked up. Because of this, she received filial piety from Xu during the holidays these years. Although she dared not get too close to Xu, she also thanked Xu''s kindness and occasionally helped her to say something nice.
On the surface, she is close to Xu.
She couldn''t remain indifferent if something happened to Xu this time.
“Xu…”
She wanted to speak but stopped.
"Xu Wenzhu led Xu to completely defect to Shen Youli, and she didn''t pretend." This news has spread all over the sky and is not a secret. Those who are well-informed know that Wu Xian was being roasted on the fire. "I am now irritable and there is no one to discuss."
Mrs. Mi Bang''s heart was shocked but she dared not take action.
Of course she knew that Wu Xian said this was not for discussion with her, she just needed to listen as a piece of wood. This choice was correct, Wu Xian continued: "There are constant voices from all walks of life, and some even suggested sending troops to attack Heyin now."
Mrs. Mi Bang doesn’t understand: “Can’t you fight?”
Wu Xian smiled bitterly: "Of course, we can''t fight. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner when beating a dog. Xu Wenzhu has now entered Shen Youli''s tent and sent troops to attack Heyin to start a war with Shen Youli. The two families will fight sooner or later, but it is definitely not now."
Now that the war begins, Wu Xian will definitely lose.
Shen Youli probably hoped that he would take action first.
Mrs. Mi Bang was puzzled.
"Didn''t Mr. Shen treat the husband as his brother?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that it was inappropriate for her to react first.
Wu Xian and his brothers have fought each other. When their brothers competed for family property, they never cared about brotherhood, let alone Wu Xian and Shen Tang were just Tang Di''s deep love stamped by the outside world. Her problem fell into the ears of more sensitive people, and I am afraid she felt it was harsh.
Fortunately, Wu Xian didn''t pursue her feelings for her.
His current resentment is all aimed at the Tianhai family and Xu Jie who put him on. As the lord, everything in the country is his theory, so he doesn''t care much about the location of the royal capital, but the Tianhai family is not good. They tried their best to set the capital in Tianhai, but because of He Yin, this proposal was destined to not be passed. Whose king is next to the border of neighboring countries?
Wu Xian was so tickled that his ears were so tickled.
But unfavorable news comes one after another.
“…There has been no peace in the past few days!”
Mrs. Mi Bang''s eyes were filled with admiration for Wu Xian, and her perfect ignorance: "...Didn''t the Lord of the Lang say that as long as he went to Nan in his hand a while ago, He Yin was not afraid?"
Wu Xianneng has never been a fool until now.
He led his troops to intimidate Yi Ru and returned to Tianhai instead of choosing to send troops to attack He Yin. The reason is simple - first, the Tianhai family is restless and his nest is unstable, so the priority in the rear is higher than that of He Yin; second, he and his subordinates'' team were too optimistic about Shangnan. Thinking about going to Nan, He Yin was naturally in his pocket, and there was no need to go to intimidate him.
In the end, it was a **** fuck.
"Shen Youli sent someone to pick up Gu Ren''s family early in the morning."
When talking about this matter, Wu Xian was still full of anger. Shen Youli concealed this matter too well. Gu Ren''s relatives were all in her hands. She also pretended that Gu Ren''s inheritance should be inherited by her son, and even Wu Xian wanted to say hypocrisy.
"Isn''t this holding the elderly and weak hostage to seize other people''s wealth?" Shen Youli can use Gu Ren''s relatives as the banner, and Wu Xian can do it.
Wu Xian sighed: "Have you ever thought about being a husband?"
When he first received the news, someone advised him, starting from the public opinion, publicly questioning Chen Youli, and nailing her to the pillar of shame for the hypocrite who deceived the world and stole the reputation. As long as she breaks her reputation as kindness, she will be able to uphold the righteous teacher in the future.
Thousands of calculations, but not counting—
"Gu Ren and his brothers are alive!" He slapped the table in anger.
Mrs. Mi Bang exclaimed: "Are there anyone alive?"
Even though she was in the inner courtyard, she heard about the death of Gu Ren''s thirteen brothers. It is said that the battle was so dark that the sun and the moon were gone. It was so tragic that there were not many bodies found...
Gu Ren and his sworn brothers went to life and death together.
There is no reason why there are still people who live in vain.
Wu Xian also felt outrageous: "More than one is alive!"
The ones who came back were Chao Lian and Chao Qingzhi, who were ranked twelve. According to the information sent back by the spies, Chao Lian and his two surviving brothers were rescued in the central continent, thousands of miles apart. He buried his good brother''s corpse, recovered his wounds, and set off to return to the Northwest Continent.
During his lifetime, Gu Ren praised his twelve rotten younger brothers more than once, each with both virtue and ability. He also said that his descendants had mediocre temperament and were not enough to establish a family. If he leaves one day, his family business can be taken by his brothers, as long as they care about brotherhood and take care of his descendants. To be honest, who can control himself and not cry after hearing this?
In other words, Chao Lian has natural inheritance rights.
What’s even more outrageous is that Gu Ren’s wife and children and even his father-in-law all recognize it!
When Chao Lian came back, he heard that Chen Youli was protecting his righteous brother''s orphan and widowed mother were moved to tears and had no objection to Chen Tang''s sending troops to take over Shangnan. The outside world wants to criticize Chen Tang for bullying orphans and widows and eating out the worst of the households, but it won’t work! The heir has no objection, and the orphan and widow have no objection, so how can it be Wu Xian’s turn to have no objection?
Mrs. Mi Bang was dumbfounded by this. Gu Ren and his sworn brothers are really the Qingliu among the warlords! The things that secular powers are flocking to, they give up when they say they want, and give up when they say they want, making others look like fools. No wonder Wu Xian didn''t even want to mention Shang Nan for a while.
She swallowed her inner thoughts silently.
Although Wu Xian was unable to have an attack by Chen Tang several times, it does not mean that he cannot send a message to inquire. Especially for Xu Jie, Chen Tang''s behavior was considered to be robbed.
If Wu Xian doesn’t express his opinion, he will probably not be convinced.
Sibao County, capital, Xiaocheng.
The young warrior raised his head and looked at the city wall where there was almost no trace of the war, feeling emotion. The last time I came to Xiaocheng was five or six years ago. Times change, and things change. He sighed in the same place for a long time and calmed down.
Entering the city, he revealed a handwritten book.
The guards immediately released the signature as soon as they saw the signature. The young man thanked him with his fists and went to Xiaocheng official office to inquire about the whereabouts of his brother''s family.
The young warrior is Chao Lian.
He left Linzhai in Lingzhou and met Chen Tang. After a while, he had a good conversation, and then went to the south again before finally entering Sibao County.
When I went to Shangnan, I naturally took the initiative to solve the problem for Chen Tang.
Yes, Chao Lian took the initiative.
This is not only Wu Xian, but Chen Tang felt it was outrageous.
When she learned about Chao Lian''s whereabouts, she was a little worried that the other party would become a variable. Gu Ren''s relatives were all old, weak, women and children. Even if she gave them the remaining old subordinates of Shangnan and Shangnan, they would not make any splashes. However, Chao Lian was different. He was a brave warrior.
The old subordinates of Shangnan must be willing to listen to Chao Lian''s transfer.
If he asks for going to the south, Chen Tang will be unable to get off the tiger. He was worried about how to fool him, but he didn''t expect Chao Lian to catch him off guard. People don’t think she wanted to take over Gu Ren’s relatives at all, and it’s too late to thank her!
Chen Tang: […]
She looked vigilantly at Chao Lian with sincere face.
The draft of the well-made abdomen is useless.
Seeing her like this, Chao Lian comforted her: [Mr. Shen, don’t worry, what Chao said today is from the heart and there are no lies. In fact, brothers and others have no ambitions themselves. Especially the elder brother, his goal in this life is nothing but a place to set up a foothold. Now the thirteen brothers are only me, sixth brother and thirteen. It’s okay if you can defend Shangnan, but will it hurt my sister-in-law and the others? 】
The situation in going to the south is hopeless. Even if he can ignore the safety of his sister-in-law and nephews and insist on asking for going to the south, he cannot sit idly by and watch his elder brother become a battlefield for Shen Jun and Wu Xian to play. It is better to settle for the second best and choose one of them, at least it can preserve Gu Ren''s bones and blood. This is the best situation Chao Lian can think of at present. He thought it clearly and naturally accepted calmly.
[Qingzhi''s words made me ashamed. 】
Since Chao Lian chose Chen Tang to entrust Gu Ren''s family, he naturally had to be on the same path as her, take the initiative to solve the public opinion crisis for her, and also cut off Wu Xian''s chance to question him. After finishing all this, he couldn''t wait to rush to Xiaocheng to meet his sister-in-law.
Because Gu Ren''s relatives have a special identity, Qi Shan sent troops to patrol and guard day and night to prevent unfriendly peeping from outside. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Chao Lian still walked through the process.
The mansion and the government office are next to the street.
He stood outside the door and wandered for a long time, not daring to go in, and didn''t know how to explain to his sister-in-law and the others that he was still alive.
Until someone called him with a little hesitation: "Uncle Chao?"
Chao Lian seemed to have been lit by someone and took root in the same place.
The visitor came forward to confirm and was ecstatic: "It''s really Uncle Chao!"
Chao Lian turned his head stiffly, and a familiar face came into his eyes. The young man in front of him is the eldest son of Gu Ren and his first wife. As an ordinary person, the latter is not short, but he is a little delicate in front of the brave warrior: "Big nephew."
Although the two are uncles and nephews, they are just a few years apart.
Hearing the response of "big nephew", the young man confirmed Chao Lian''s identity and couldn''t wait to pull him into the house: "I thought it was dazzled just now, but I didn''t expect it to be Uncle Chao. A few days ago, the chief clerk said that Uncle Chao was still alive, but I don''t believe it."
He couldn''t wait to shout as he stepped into the house.
"My mother, see who is back!" Gu Ren gave birth to three wives in total, and he gave birth to three sons and two daughters. When Qishan sent someone to pick him up, he took them all away. The eldest son also took an errand at the official office, "It''s Uncle Chao, Uncle Chao is back!"
Everyone who heard the news rushed over.
When Chao Lian saw his sister-in-law who was in her teenage years old, she suddenly knelt down on her knees and apologized. The noise was so loud that the stone slabs were cracked: "Sister-in-law, Qing is incompetent and failed to bring his elder brother back."
The young woman''s eyes turned red when she heard this, and hurriedly asked her eldest son to help Chao Lian up and said, "What are you saying, uncle? If you can come back alive, Ziyi can be relieved even if he has a spirit in heaven..."
Chao Lian raised his hand and wiped away the tears.
Seeing that he was in a state of turmoil, the young woman hurriedly asked her maid to go down and prepare to welcome him. Taking advantage of this, Chao Lian read Gu Ren and his children and they were relieved to be sure that they were all safe: "Sister-in-law, I have something else..."
This matter is naturally related to the South.
Although Gu Ren said that his family business could be inherited by several brothers, in Chao Lian''s mind, the eldest brother and the child were renamed. If you make a decision without their permission, you will naturally apologize to others. The young woman was not surprised after listening.
She said with relief: "The news of Ziyi''s death reached Shangnan, so my father discussed this matter with me."
As soon as my husband died, the pillar collapsed.
The orphan and widowed mother have no force to be with her. She is just waiting to be slaughtered in troubled times. The only thing she can do is to use the chips that are worthwhile in her hands to gain a place to settle down. So when Qishan sent someone to contact him secretly, they decided to join Shen Tang''s camp.
The young woman looked ashamed, bowed to Chao Lian, and said, "I should apologize to my uncle for this matter."
In order to protect herself and several children, she gave up the family business that she had worked hard with her brothers for more than ten years during her lifetime, and she blamed herself in her heart. The uncle had already made her ashamed of not asking questions, but unexpectedly, he apologized to him and felt guilty.
"My mother, don''t say anything. If you really want to blame me, you should blame my son!" Gu Ren''s eldest son saw this, he simply took all the blame on himself. As the only adult eldest son of his father, if he had the talent for cultivation, he would not be unable to support his own business. The current situation also has something to do with his incompetence.
The three of them argued and felt sad again.
Until Chao Lian said he wanted to stay and take care of the family.
Although the young women were moved, they knew it was impossible. They could not use kindness to bind Chao Lian: "Everything in the house is safe."
Chao Lian was worried: "But..."
The young woman said, "In view of Ziyi, Mr. Shen will treat the whole family well. In addition, your niece and nephew are talented, and you can build a business in a few years."
Although the eldest son has no talent, he has his younger son and his younger daughter.
This is also the hope for the future of the mansion.

There were no signs yesterday. When I woke up from a nap in the afternoon, my wrist started to hurt again. I kept touching it when I was typing at night, which made me feel mentally.
