"The eldest elder of the Xu family was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Xu Yun, as the successor of the family head, you are very unqualified, but the words of the eldest young master of the Li family do make some sense. Just say what you have to say, you only have one chance.
"
Under Li Tian's encouraging eyes, Xu Yun first respectfully called "Great Elder" and then said, "As the Great Elder said, I have not been in charge of anything in the Xu family over the years, but I am very aware of everything about the Xu family."
."
"It's ridiculous." Xu Jinggong interrupted forcibly. Now he wanted to kill Xu Yun immediately. This sudden change gave Xu Yun a chance to stand up. All he had to do now was to destroy Xu Yun. "You haven't returned in nearly ten years."
How can the Xu family know everything about the Xu family?"
"Because I am a disciple of the Xu family and the successor of the head of the Xu family," Xu Yun calmly replied to Duke Xu Jin.
These words were so confident that the elder could not help but feel a little moved. In fact, he valued Xu Yun very much. However, this boy has not returned for ten years, which also made the elder feel chilly. "Xu Yun, tell me about the Xu family in recent years."
what happened."
"Yes, Great Elder," Xu Yun responded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Five years ago, the commander-in-chief of the Xu family's army on the northeastern border was changed to Xu Wei, the thirteenth generation uncle of the Xu family. In the same year, the Xu family's economy in the south suffered substantial losses.
, I analyzed the reason privately. It was because the son of the third uncle (Xu Wengong) failed to understand the market demand. There was really no need to import a large number of expensive engines from abroad. From the perspective of the southern market, the price was too expensive.
, except for a few people who have the ability to purchase, others do not. According to my personal opinion, foreign engine technology can be introduced into the country and let technicians research it, which can greatly reduce the cost."
"Of course, foreign engine technology is not so easy to obtain." Xu Yun paused, "This requires a lot of time. The third brother (son of Xu Wengong) seems not stable enough and is eager to make some achievements. Instead, our Xu family suffers a lot of losses."
money."
“Well said”
The great elder's eyes lit up and he continued, "Continue talking."
"Three years ago, regarding the theft of the Xu family's treasure, the Dragon Cauldron, although the culprit has been found guilty, the whereabouts of the Dragon Cauldron are still unknown."
When Xu Yun said this, he paused and said, "I make a bold guess that the theft of the Dragon Cauldron is related to Xu Su, the son of the second uncle."
Xu Yun was forcibly interrupted with a loud shout of "Wantless".
I saw Xu Jinggong dashing towards Xu Yun with a quick stride, his fingers spread out, secretly showing his luck, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he struck out at Xu Yun with a palm.
This palm was insidious and cruel. If it hit directly, Xu Yun would either die or be maimed. Li Tian, who was closest to him, couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Xu Jin Gong to suddenly take action in front of the great elder.
For a moment, Li Tian secretly thought something was wrong, but his movements were still a beat too slow.
The next moment, a figure stood in front of Xu Yun and easily deflected Xu Jinggong's palm.
Xu Yun, who thought he was going to die, looked at the figure in front of him and couldn't help but smile, "Father."
"Do you still think of me as your father?"
Taigong Xu sighed, "You really can't cheer up until the critical moment, you brat."
"Father, do you really want to kill me?"
"I wanted to kill you, do you think you can survive until now?"
"Why did you kill my men?"
"I want to remind you that someone is not good for you."
"Why don't you send someone to help me?" Xu Yun vomited bitterly, "I almost died in Hunwu City."
"You don't even have this ability, it would be better to die."
…
Li Tian looked at the father and son talking to each other, a different emotion arose in his heart, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
When the attack failed, Xu Jinggong took advantage of the conversation between the two to try to strike again. Suddenly he heard an angry shout, "Xu Jin, if you don't retreat, do you want to rebel?"
From the Xu family up and down, the three brothers are called "Gong" with the word "Gong" after them to show their respect. There is only one person who dares to call them by their real names, the eldest elder of the Xu family.
Feeling the anger of the great elder, Xu Jinggong froze and said hurriedly, "Great elder, please forgive me for being unreasonable. Because this traitor is talking nonsense here, I couldn't hold it back for a while."
This "traitor" was talking about Xu Yun. Although Xu Jinggong's words sounded plain, they actually contained murderous intent.
Three days ago, the family rules had been revised. Xu Yun had not returned to the Xu family for ten years, and his status as a "traitor" had been confirmed. Even if the elder gave Xu Yun a chance, the Xu family had no reason to let a "traitor" serve as the successor.
who.
Several people present could not help but frown, as if they realized that there was no way to solve this problem.
Even the great elder remained silent.
When Xu Jinggong saw this scene, he was secretly relieved, "I don't need to talk nonsense. Who has any different opinions about Xu Xu as the successor of the family head?"
"etc"
Li Tian suddenly said, "You keep saying that Xu Yun is a traitor. I want to ask what exactly did Xu Yun do to make the Xu family think that he is a traitor?"
"Huh, Master Li, what do you mean by this?" Xu Jinggong now hates the eldest young master of the Li family in front of him, "Are you questioning the family rules of our Xu family?"
"I don't dare," Li Tian replied, and said respectfully to the First Elder, "First Elder, can the Xu family rules be modified at any time?"
The great elder immediately understood what Li Tian meant and said with a smile, "As long as it is reasonable, it can be modified at any time."
"Please ask the Great Elder to revise the current family rules. Anyone who doesn't know about it can not return to the family for ten years."
"It makes sense." The elder nodded, "Xu Yun was not notified of the modification of the family rules, and Xu Yun regarded it as a traitor without knowing it. It cannot be justified both emotionally and rationally."
Li Tian and the Great Elder eliminated Xu Yun's status as a "traitor" with just a few words, which made Xu Jin Gong angry.
Today's unfavorable situation is all because of the eldest young master of the Li family in front of me. "I can agree that Xu Yun is a descendant of the Xu family, not a traitor, but Xu Yun has not returned to the Xu family for ten years, and he has lost his position as the successor of the family head.
Now this position should be inherited by Xu Su."
"Yes, Xu Yun has lost his qualifications, and Xu Chu is favored by the public." said one person.
Another person sneered, "Xu Yun has not returned to the Xu family for ten years. Does he still have the Xu family in his eyes? What qualifications does he have to continue to be the successor of the family head."
The so-called public expectation is the current scene, and most people in the Xu family expressed support for Xu Su's appointment as the successor to the family head.
The great elder, Xu Taigong, Xu Wengong and others were all helpless.
The eldest elder of the Xu family controls everything, but he cannot do whatever he says. He needs the support of everyone.
At this time, Xu Yun seemed disappointed, but Li Tian had no intention of giving up, "Great Elder, Xu Yun has lost his qualifications, but as a descendant of the Xu family, he should also be qualified to compete for the successor of the family head."
