After reading the so-called blood book, Ling Dong had a sneer on his face. In addition to giving Ling Dong a shit basin and finding a reason for him to betray the Ling family, the contents contained an extremely childish request!
Ask Ling Dong to go to the Zuo family, kowtow to Master Shui and apologize to him in person, and he will consider returning to the Ling family!
Ling Dong shook the blood book in his hand, stared at Ling Gaofeng and said sarcastically: "Why do you believe the content of this blood book?" There was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
The elder Ling Gaofeng did not speak, but had a gloomy face, as if he was brewing something there. In fact, people such as the second elder Ling Xuefeng and several collateral elders remained silent one by one. These old foxes all knew that this was the room of the Ling family, and they
It's the battle between Ling Yuanshan's lineage and Erfang Ling Gaofeng's lineage, and everyone wants to stay out of it!
The others did not speak, but one person did, and that was Ling Zhengshan!
"Believe it, why don't we believe it? Do you know what this alchemist, especially a middle-grade alchemist, represents to the family? Just the monthly elixirs that can be distributed to the elders every month will not only be several percent better in quality, but also
Even the quantity will increase by several percent. That will be thousands and hundreds of times better than the current unmanned alchemy!
If you can get a middle-grade alchemist by kowtowing, where can you find such a good thing? Besides, won't you solve the trouble you caused? What's more, if the family regains a middle-grade alchemy master,
Pharmacist, not only will the family's income not decrease sharply, but it will also increase significantly, with no harm at all!" Ling Zhengshan scolded with a fierce expression!
Ling Dong was not angry, and shook the so-called blood book in his hand: "Do you all the elders think so? You think this is my fault, Ling Dong. If I, Ling Dong, kowtow, I can exchange for a middle-grade alchemist."
division?"
There was still no reply. The Great Elder Ling Gaofeng glanced at Ling Dong, but he never spoke, but he did not deny it, and the same was true for others. Ling Yuanshan wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Ling Dong!
Ling Dong knew that, in fact, these old guys knew it, but no one wanted to stand on the opposite side of the great elder Ling Gaofeng.
"Hahahaha!" Ling Dong suddenly laughed up to the sky. During the laughter, his expression suddenly became fierce. He took a few steps closer, pointed at Ling Zhengshan's nose and started to curse!
"What a benefit without any harm! Second uncle, have you lived like a dog all these years? Huh?" Ling Dong's expression was so fierce that Ling Zhengshan, who was scolded, forgot to fight back for a moment: "I'm going to kowtow.
After apologizing, a middle-grade alchemy master will return? Ridiculous, do you think the Zuo family are all idiots and idiots like my second uncle!"
"Nigga, in your eyes, do you still have dignity and humiliation?"
"Ling Dong, what are you talking about? I am your second uncle!" Two loud shouts, one after the other, exploded in the meeting hall. Naturally, it was Ling Gaofeng and his son Ling Zhengshan who got angry.
"Inferiority, second uncle?" Ling Zheng laughed: "When you took the shit basin, didn't you think that it was my second uncle? Second uncle, let me ask you, was this Master Shui under house arrest by my Ling family before?
?" Ling Dong approached Ling Zhengshan and asked.
"So what?" Ling Zhengshan answered a little unsurely!
"Is this house arrest a decision made by the elders? And is it the guard arranged by your uncle, right?" Ling Dong asked again!
"What does this have to do with you?" Ling Zhengshan felt something was wrong!
"Tell me, is that true?" Ling Dong shouted loudly. The power of the superior accumulated in his previous life suddenly exploded, making Ling Zhengshan shiver!
"Yes... so what!" Ling Zhengshan suddenly responded in an unsatisfactory manner!
"Hahahaha, that's right!" Ling Dong laughed with a smile on his face!
He cupped his hands to the elders on the left and said: "Elders, Master Shui, who is under house arrest, has escaped. Are all the guards of the Ling family free of charge? In the courtyard of the Ling family, there are dozens of guards in front and back, and there are layers of guards. Master Shui is an innate
There is no alchemist, how can we escape? This is obviously caused by poor supervision, or someone has ulterior motives!" As he said that, Ling Dong glanced at Ling Zhengshan!
The latter immediately became anxious: "Ling Dong, don't pick up the shit basin in order to clear your name. It's not uncommon for a pharmacist to make some intoxicating drugs!" Ling Zhengshan sneered.
"Huh, justice is in the heart!" Ling Dong sneered!
"Ahem!" Ling Tieshan, who had been silent all this time, prompted several times with Ling Zhengshan's eyes, coughed first to attract everyone's attention, and then spoke.
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable, the key is to recover the losses. The departure of Master Shui, first of all, leaves us with no medicine for healing. If we want to use it, we need to buy it! Secondly, Master Shui leaves and joins the Zuo family.
, brought a devastating blow to the family's elixir business, and even the rapid decline in the popularity of the elixir business would greatly affect other businesses.
This is a huge blow to the family! Over the years, the income of our Ling family has increased steadily year by year. The current annual surplus has increased to 1.6 million silver per year. However, Master Shui's departure will have a chain reaction, and
The increased expenses have caused my Ling family's profit to plummet. I predict that if this continues, the net income in the coming year may be less than three hundred thousand taels!" Ling Tieshan analyzed!
"What? It dropped so much?"
"How could this be so serious?" After hearing this most intuitive data analysis, the elders who had been sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers could no longer sit still!
Seeing this scene, Ling Tieshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "So, I think, although the possibility is unlikely, nephew Ling Dong, for the sake of the Ling family, since there is a chance, you go - please Master Shui
Let's go!" After turning a corner, Ling Tieshan finally revealed his purpose. However, the effect was different from what Ling Zhengshan said, and he actually vaguely gained the support of everyone!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tieshan was glared back by his father, Ling Xuefeng!
"Oh, the first elder and the second elder also mean the same thing. Do you think that if I kowtow, Master Shui will return? The Zuo family will let him back?" Ling Dong turned around and asked!
"Hey, even if you try, it's just a humiliation! If Master Shui was still a low-grade alchemist, there might be a chance! Now he is a middle-grade alchemist, and even if he is willing, the Zuo family will never let him go.
!Brother, what do you think?" Second Elder Ling Xuefeng said!
For some reason, a trace of regret suddenly appeared on the face of the Great Elder Ling Gaofeng, and he nodded sadly: "Yes, there is no chance at all. If he is a low-grade alchemist, it is still possible, but now he is a middle-grade alchemist..."
Hearing this, Ling Zhengshan and Ling Tieshan were extremely shocked. Why did their fathers turn against each other?
"There is no chance, right? Our Ling family is about to suffer a heavy blow? What if I solve this crisis and make the Zuo family lose this middle-grade alchemist, and at the same time find a middle-grade alchemist for my Ling family?" Ling
Dong suddenly said something shocking!
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Dong'er, the joke is not random!"
"Children's hair is not all grown up, so they are talking big words!"
"Hmph, my Ling family has not found a middle-grade alchemist in these decades, but you came out with just a touch of your lips!" Questions and ridicules were endless, and Ling Zhengshan and Ling Gaofeng's father and son laughed the most.
.
Seeing this scene, Ling Dong smiled instead of getting angry: "I said what if, what if I really did it!"
"Hmph, if you can do it, what else do you want me, the great elder, to do? You can already hold the position of great elder!" With ease, a mocking word came out, but as soon as the words came out, Ling Gaofeng felt a little uncomfortable.
Okay, that’s too much! But I was relieved immediately, so what if it’s too full!
There is really no middle-grade alchemist in Nanshan County except Master Water. Where can you find one? As for Master Water, huh!
Ling Dong climbed up the pole: "Oh, the Great Elder is saying that if I accomplish this, you will abdicate in favor of others?"
Everyone was stunned and stopped talking. Ling Dong's words were very provocative!
Ling Gaofeng was also stunned, but he was not afraid of Ling Dong. In his opinion, this was simply impossible!
"Yes, that's what I said!" This is the current situation. In order to maintain his authority, the Great Elder Ling Gaofeng readily admitted it. Of course, everyone thought that Ling Dong could not do this!
"Okay, then you remember, all the elders and uncles here are witnesses! If I really succeed, you can't break your promise and get fat!" Ling Dong said loudly!
Ling Gaofeng was stunned for a moment, a little confused. Ling Dong's behavior today was a bit abnormal! After thinking about it again, he confirmed that Ling Dong couldn't do it, and then nodded heavily!
"I'm looking forward to it. If you really do it, so what if I abdicate in favor of the Ling family!" After saying that, a hint of sternness flashed in his eyes: "Then what if you can't do it?"
"It's very simple. It's up to you. Don't you, the Great Elder, think that all the responsibility for this matter lies with me?" Ling Dong said in a very strange tone!
Ling Gaofeng's face became even more ugly.
After the elders' meeting, in Ling Zhengshan's study, Ling Gaofeng and Ling Zhengshan walked in one after another. As soon as Ling Zhengshan closed the door, Ling Gaofeng slapped him in the face!
"How can a middle-grade alchemist use the good deeds you have done as bait?" Ling Gaofeng scolded angrily!
Ling Zhengshan was extremely aggrieved: "Dad, didn't I do this for you? When I decided on this matter, who knew he would make a breakthrough!"
After saying that, Ling Zhengshan's eyes flashed with a trace of sinisterness: "Dad, think about it, you are already 72 years old this year, and you only have 10 years left. My son... I don't have much left, I have more than 30 years."
It will turn into a cup of loess! If we try hard now and accomplish this, plus that good thing..." A trace of enthusiasm flashed in Ling Zhengshan's eyes, "With that good thing, we can seize the clan leader and concentrate the family's power.
With all the financial resources, it is very possible to break through the Earthly Evil Realm and extend your life by 200 years!"
"Ten years..." Ling Gaoran sighed and remained silent for a long time before saying: "Plan carefully, don't make any mistakes! In addition, send someone to keep an eye on Ling Dong to see what he does!"
