 After hearing Xiao Lang's incomprehensible words of grief and anger, Zeng Xu raised his head: "Young Master, I really realized my mistake. I promise that such mistakes will never happen again in the future. If they happen again, it will be like this."

Point!"

After that, he took out a sharp short knife from his waist and was about to cut off the little finger of his left hand.

"Slow!"

Xiao Lang stopped him: "You are a slave of my Xiao family. Whether you live or die is decided by our Xiao family. Even with this little finger, you can't do anything without my permission."

You have the right to cut it off!"

"Yes, yes..." Zeng Xu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Raising his head again, he asked: "Young Master, I dare to ask, you are not allowed to hurt the Miss Lou, but you also want to teach her a lesson. What do you mean by this?"

"Young Master, don't you just want to hide the Lou family's property? Now that the eldest brother of the Lou family is gone, the second brother is just a coward with a pig head and a pig brain. The third brother has some brains, but he is always smart and is played by you.

It’s still unknown between the palms of your hands.”

"After all, Lou Qingyi is a woman and cannot be of much use. Her husband is said to have come from a small family and has not seen much of the world. Our foundation in Jiangling is pretty deep.

There are many heroes who serve the young master, why not..."

"Wishful thinking!" Xiao Lang interrupted him.

He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said with a sneer: "In the second year of Taiqing, Hou Jing attacked Shouchun, colluded with Liang Linhe Wang Xiao Zhengde to cause rebellion, besieged Jiankang, and destroyed Taicheng the following year. Emperor Wu of Liang starved to death. Hou Jing successively established

Xiao Gang and Xiao Dong became emperors. Now that they have established themselves and the country is named Han, what will be the result?"

"The King of Eastern Hunan, Xiao Yi, sent Wang Sengbian, and Chen Ba defeated him first. As a result, Hou Jing was killed by his subordinates while fleeing. Your subordinates are all rabble, and they are no match for the official army. What we have to do

It’s not about cultivating many dead soldiers, it’s about taking advantage of the trend and adding fuel to the flames.”

"Do you know how powerful the power of the clan is?"

"You don't know, and you can never imagine, how powerful they are among all the countries in the world. In the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the emperors treated their kings and leaders with special courtesy and did not dare to treat them as ministers. 'The king and his horse share the world.

'That's it."

"Did you know? Emperor Yuan always addressed Wang Dao as 'Zhongfu'. Emperor Cheng used the words 'panic words', 'pause' and 'respectfully' when he addressed Wang Dao. In Zhongshu's edicts, he used 'respectfully asking'. When Emperor Cheng arrived,

At Director Wang’s home, I also met Director Wang’s wife, haha, what an honor and power that is!”

"Can you imagine it?"

"As long as we make good use of the power of the clan, we can build a country and destroy a country. Hey, don't look at the fact that although the Lou family is weak now, it is a centipede that can never die... not to mention the old and immortal Lou Yu.

I have it in my hand..."

"Ahem, cough, cough...why are I telling you this today?"

Xiao Lang suddenly raised his head and looked at the dappled light coming from the gaps in the leaves, and said: "Actually... I have never thought about using force to restore the country. Previous generations of the Xiao family have looked in the wrong direction. They

My thinking at that time must have been the same as yours, thinking that I could dominate the world with force. Little did I know that there was someone more powerful than force in the world. Hehe, I’m lucky to have found him..."

"Zeng Xu, the world of my Xiao family was taken away by this old man Xiao Yan, but when we tried to take the world back from him, the old man starved to death in Taicheng. I really

I don’t know whether to thank or hate Hou Jing, the traitor. His appearance disrupted all our plans."

"But there is no end to the road. Hehe, I finally figured out something in the past few days. The things I asked you to do against Lou Qingyi are closely related to my plan. Now you should know that I just

Why are you so angry?"

Zeng Xu knelt on the ground, nodded first, and then shook his head.

He didn't understand half of what the young master said about the clouds and mountains.

What does the Lou family, a declining official family, have to do with the Xiao family’s grand plans?

To take a step back, even if the Lou family controls some kind of power, how can Mr. Lou be willing to hand over this power to his granddaughter? After all, she is a woman!

Except for Lou Qingyi’s father, there is no one in the second generation of the Lou family who can be of great use.

The third generation is either a playboy or a young child, which is even more impossible!

He was thinking hard, and when Xiao Lang looked at him with such a sharp gaze, he couldn't help but tremble.

On the side, Xiao Lang started to talk again.

"Zeng Xu, after years of dormancy, we will finally see the daybreak..."

Although Zeng Xu didn't understand very well, as long as the young master understood these things, he only needed to obey the instructions. He immediately asked: "Young master, what should my subordinates do now?"

Xiao Lang looked solemn and said: "I have something I need you to do. You arranged for people to keep an eye on everyone in the Lou family. At the same time, you secretly sent more people to investigate the whereabouts of Lou Qingyi. Once I find her, I will

You can appear openly in front of the Lou family, and your wife will be there to take care of you. You are not afraid of the old immortal refusing to speak... We must hurry up on this matter!"

After he finished speaking, he asked again: "Do you have any difficulties?"

Zeng Xu shook his head.

"In this case, I will take the first step. If there is any trouble, report it to me immediately!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away. After ten steps, he heard Zeng Xu say from behind: "Young Master, I suddenly remembered something."

"What's the matter?"

"Yangjiadu was robbed by bandits. I heard..."

Before Zeng Xu finished speaking over there, Xiao Lang felt his eyes go dark...

……

Overnight, Lou Qingyi undoubtedly became the central topic of discussion among people in Jiangling City. First, there were reports of the so-called dark knot in the bead and her hasty marriage, and then she disappeared mysteriously. Some people believed that she was so embarrassed that she threw herself into the river and died.

, some people say that she is hiding her name and traveling far away from home.

He Baichuan did not stay at Xuezizhou last night. He drank to drown his sorrows, so he fell asleep not long after returning home by car.

Before going to bed, I had given instructions to my servants that no one was allowed to disturb me. Even the personal maid who usually attended my bed was driven outside the house.

The servants at home didn't know what happened to the young man outside, and they were panicked for a while. Someone went to ask the coachman, but the coachman was tight-lipped about the matter and never revealed anything.

There was no talking all night, and soon it was early morning the next day.

The servants got up early to clean the courtyard. The maid looked through the window several times, but there was no movement in the house. She wanted to open the door and go in, but she was afraid of He Baichuan's anger and reprimand. She was so anxious for a while that she didn't know what to do!

However, other people in the He family have already started dressing up, because today is an extremely important day for the He family.
