0633 Terrible Castle
"Brother Tianxuanzi, why are you here? I'm so... so happy. You don't know how much we miss you. Our third brother was still talking about you yesterday."
"Yes, brother Tian Xuanzi, why didn't you notify us in advance when you came so that we could come out to greet you? You don't know that since we said goodbye that year, our brothers have been thinking about you all the time, looking forward to one day being able to meet you.
Listen to your teachings again."
"Brother Tian Xuanzi, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so wise and powerful, outstanding. You are like a guiding light in the vast sea of people, guiding us in the direction of progress."
…
The three major worshipers nodded and bowed around Tian Xuanzi and flattered him. Their bottomless flattery, nodding and bowing, their level of condescension was simply astonishing.
Bai Juran waited for the Bai family to be dumbstruck, their mouths opened in shock, and their jaws almost dropped. This was still the usual immortal style, with the proud demeanor of "I am the best in the world", even the three Bai family members turned their nostrils towards the sky when they spoke.
A big offering?
Bai unexpectedly remembered what he had pointed at before, and when he looked at the behavior of the three worshippers, a surge of blood suddenly surged up, his face was burning, and he pointed at the three worshippers with a trembling trembling all over, and shouted "Qi"
I'll die." He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes turned white and he fainted. If Uncle Zhong hadn't been quick to catch him, Bai might have been thrown to death without being angered to death.
"Master, master, wake up!"
Everyone in the Bai family immediately rushed forward in a hurry, crying and shouting.
Uncle Zhong was worthy of being a housekeeper who had seen the world. He quickly calmed down and calmly ordered: "Quick, the second son, go call the doctor, and the fifth son will inform the old man."
The matter had reached this point, and even the head of the family fainted. He did not dare to hide it anymore, so he could only ask someone to notify the old man to clean up the mess.
Tian Xuanzi turned a blind eye to this, looked at the three worshipers with a half-smile on his face and said, "We haven't seen each other for some years. How are you doing well?"
"Very good, very good. Thank you for your concern, brother!"
The three great ministers secretly cursed in their hearts, as long as we don't see you in this life, we don't know how good it will be, but as soon as we see you, we will be all bad.
But his face was filled with an extremely sincere smile, and his smile was so bright that he thought they were long-lost brothers.
"It's good that you're doing well. I'm relieved. By the way, you must have collected a lot of good things over the years. Don't forget to let me, the elder brother, appreciate them later so that you won't be deceived.
."
Tian Xuanzi stroked his beard and said with a smile.
The faces of the three major worshipers suddenly fell down, and they had to put on a compensating smile and said with a dry smile: "That's natural, we just wish that the eldest brother would give us his eyes."
"Hahaha, okay, good brother!"
Tian Xuanzi laughed triumphantly and said, and the three major worshipers could only laugh bitterly in agreement, but their hearts felt even worse than eating Huanglian.
Ding Ning was secretly amused, but he was thoughtful in his heart. No wonder Xiahou said that becoming a master-level or above powerful man worshiped by a wealthy family is either to repay his kindness, or he is just a mediocre person who has lost his blood. Seeing the three major worshipers now, they should be servile and servile.
It belongs to the latter.
"No... it's not good, it's not good, something big has happened!"
Xiaowuzi trotted to a three-story building deep in the Bai family compound and shouted out of breath.
"How unbecoming is it to yell and scream? The old man is waiting for guests. We'll talk about something later!"
Standing in front of the door was an old man with white beard and hair. He stopped him with his hand and scolded him with an unhappy glare.
"Long... Master Long, wait... I can't wait any longer. Something big... has happened. Someone wants to destroy the whole Bai family. The three great ministers have surrendered to the enemy. Master... Master he... he... is so angry."
Fell!"
Xiao Wuzi glanced at him fearfully and said breathlessly.
I knew that the Mr. Long in front of me was a guard who had been with Mr. Bai since he was young. He was an orphan and was very loyal to Mr. Bai. After he was discharged from the army, he neither returned to his hometown nor found another job. Instead, he voluntarily stayed with Mr. Bai.
Throughout his life, he is the person whom the old man trusts the most. To a certain extent, he is the old man's spokesperson.
His status in the Bai family was so transcendent that even the great butler, Uncle Zhong, had to respectfully call him Lord Long, and the direct descendants of the Bai family had to politely call him Uncle Long or Grandpa Long.
Master Long's snow-white eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but his old body exuded a terrifying coercion, and he said calmly: "Don't panic, the sky won't fall. Tell me what happened in detail."
"Yes, Lord Long!"
Feeling the frightening but reassuring power of Master Long, Xiao Wuzi wiped away cold sweat, not daring to hide anything, and told the detailed story in detail.
After Master Long listened patiently, a glimmer of light flashed in his muddy old eyes, and he said calmly: "I understand, you can go down first."
Got it? Xiao Wuzi looked at him in astonishment, and was so anxious that he almost cried: "Mr. Long, people are calling me right at the door of my house. How can I reply to Uncle Zhong if the old man doesn't make up his mind?"
"Huh, if you are asked to go down, just go down. I will tell you how to do it after I ask the old man for instructions."
Master Long snorted coldly and glared at him with dissatisfaction, which made Xiao Wuzi stay silent and did not dare to say anything more. He retreated with a grimace. After thinking about it, he just went back and reported the truth to Uncle Zhong.
"Grandpa Long, what's wrong?"
Bai Qing walked out of the house. After returning from Babao Mountain, the old man was in a bad mood remembering the past, so he stayed with him to make him happy.
The old man was in a better mood, and his old subordinates came to congratulate him one after another. Bai Qing wanted to leave on his own, but the old man asked him to stay and introduce him to the people who came to congratulate him.
Master Long knew what the old man meant. He wanted to introduce the most precious resource of the Bai family, his personal connections, to Bai Qing. It seemed that the old man had already decided on the position of the future head of the family.
So when Bai Qing asked, Master Long didn't dare to be negligent at all, and repeated the situation reported by Xiao Wuzi verbatim.
Bai Qing's face changed. He slapped his forehead and said with a bitter smile: "I blame you for this. It was my brother who came here at my invitation. I was busy accompanying the old man and forgot about him. The same goes for this loyal uncle.
Don’t you know what kind of thing Wang Haiqing is? The old man is waiting for guests, so he won’t do any work for him. I’ll go take a look.”
Master Long bowed slightly and looked at Bai Qing's back, but a glint flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Uncle Zhong was going to be in bad luck.
Although Bai Qing seemed to be just complaining casually on the surface, in fact, he was putting all the blame for the incident on Uncle Zhong. Uncle Zhong will become the victim of this incident. Of course, Bai He will also be in trouble.
To escape from danger would be a big blow to the prestige of the Erfang lineage.
Mr. Bai behaved uprightly throughout his life, maintained the country with integrity, managed the family with justice, and did not help his relatives but his relatives.
Although the descendants of the Bai family can be considered to be competitive, the family is too prosperous, which makes the servants of the Bai family feel arrogant and extravagant. They are used to following the wind and even look down on others. Even Lord Long can't stand them.
Make a party.
Especially Uncle Zhong, as his name suggests, he is indeed very loyal, but he is not loyal to the Bai family, but to Bai Juran alone. In recent years, relying on Bai Juran's favor, he has deceived his superiors, deceived his superiors, and made a lot of money.
Bullying men and dominating women, ruining the Bai family's family tradition.
Mr. Long couldn't help but mentioned it to the old man in a vague way, but the old man laughed it off without comment, leaving him very confused.
At this moment, he suddenly realized and sighed secretly in his heart. The old man's thoughts were really as deep as the sea and elusive. He was not indifferent to what Uncle Zhong did, but wanted to keep him as a loophole to help Bai Qing ascend to the throne.
Open the gap.
Only by attacking Bai Juran's cronies can Bai Qing establish his own prestige, shake Bai Juran's deep-rooted authority, and gradually take over the power of the Bai family.
It seems that the battle between the old and new heads of the family is about to begin.
Long Ye secretly sighed in his heart. The transfer of power in a wealthy family will never be a peaceful transition. Every transition of power will be accompanied by shocking plots and calculations, paved with bloody corpses. This time
There will be no exception.
I just thought about what happened today. Was it an accident by chance? Or was it inevitable that Bai Qing had already known it well? If it was the latter, then Bai Qing's scheming was really terrible.
However, with Bai Qing's temperament, how could he forget to send invitations to his friends? No matter how busy he was, how could he not say hello to the concierge in advance?
Thinking of this, the answer is self-evident.
Lord Long has returned to his old and decrepit appearance, standing motionless with his head bowed like a clay Bodhisattva.
It wasn't until six men in white clothes with blood-colored belts tied around their waists, full of murderous auras, followed Bai Qing, that Long Ye slowly opened his slightly narrowed eyes and looked up at the bright sun just now.
The shining sky was now covered by dark clouds, and a cool breeze blew by. He shuddered subconsciously and muttered in a low voice: "The weather is going to change!"
"Young Master Qing, Young Master Qing is here!"
"That's great, everything will be fine now that Young Master is here."
"Young Master Qing must have followed the old man's orders to handle the matter."
"Young Master Qing is the most outstanding child of the Bai family. He will definitely be able to settle things when he comes."
…
Ever since Bai Juran fainted and was sent back to the backyard, everyone in the Bai family who had been confused for a long time saw Bai Qing appear and cheered as if they had seen the backbone. It seems that Bai Qing's mass base is still very good.
Uncle Zhong's face was a little gloomy, but no matter how arrogant he was, he was only a servant of the Bai family after all, especially since the master he relied on was already unconscious at the moment, which made him even more afraid to make a mistake, so he respectfully stepped forward: "
Young Master Qing, you are here."
Bai Qing nodded calmly to everyone in the Bai family and walked out quickly without even looking at him.
Uncle Zhong was ignored, as if he had been slapped by Bai Qing in public. He suddenly felt his face burning and embarrassed.
A look of resentment and embarrassment flashed through his eyes. The young master of the house, who had been in decline for a long time, dared not give any face to the housekeeper who was a famous figure before him. How could he not be ashamed and annoyed?
His expression quickly returned to normal, but he was roaring crazily in his heart. How dare you humiliate me? Just wait. When the master wakes up, you will be unable to eat and walk around.
"Fourth, it's all my fault. I was so busy that I forgot to come out to pick you up. That's why we made such a big joke."
Bai Qing walked quickly towards Ding Ning. There was still a long way to go, so he said with shame and remorse.
The corners of Ding Ning's lips curled up. Regardless of whether Bai Qing had really forgotten or he had forgotten on purpose, things had become such that he could only follow Bai Qing's playbook.
Although he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, he lacked specific information within the Bai family and could not deduce the truth of the matter.
