"Fu Zhanshan!" Wei Ba couldn't bear it when he saw that the two sides were almost falling out. He stepped forward and gave the other party a cold look: "What do you want? I'll accompany you!"
"People who are gangsters, don't understand this principle?" Fu Zhanshan's face became even colder: "Kill people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay for their money."
Wei Ba was young and vigorous. No matter who the opponent was or how powerful he was, he was not afraid. After all, this was Li Ling and the root of the Wei family. But before he could speak again, Wei Tong shook his head.
Weiba stopped, stood up slowly, and took a few steps forward.
As the head of a big family, Wei Tong knew very well that Wei Ba had done something wrong in this matter, but the Fu family had come to the door, so the Wei family could not be too weak or tolerant. If they made too many concessions,
, In less than three or two hours, rumors will continue to spread around Li Ling, and everyone will think that the Wei family has bowed to the opponent's family and given in.
In fact, this is not just a matter of fighting for one's breath, there are also many interests of the family involved, and sometimes, there must be no compromise.
"Brother Fu, I don't care what you say, but there is one thing we put on the table today." Wei Tong's voice was not high, but he had the majesty of a family head. He spoke very slowly, for the sake of
He said that everything he said counted: "Each of my nine sons is my lifeblood. If you want to touch my lifeblood, I can only level the ancestral graves of your family."
Although Fu Zhanshan's eyes were as sharp as daggers, Wei Tong's words calmed him down. He raised his eyes and looked over. In front of him was Wei Tong, who had been based in Li Lingshan for decades, and behind him were the nine tiger-like figures of the Wei family.
Fu Zhanshan's son, Fu Zhanshan, suddenly made a quick calculation in his mind. If he had a real fight with the Wei family, would he benefit from it?
The answer is no. Even though his name is Fu Bancheng, he has no confidence in dealing with the Wei family.
The situation turned from intense to a stalemate. After a long time, Fu Zhanshanpi shook his sleeves with a smile, stood up, and stared at the Wei family men for a few times: "Feng shui changes in turns."
"It's better to leave without seeing you off." Wei Tong replied calmly.
When Fu Zhanshan left the Wei family, Wei Tong knew that the matter could not end like this. Jianghu people had their own rules, and some blood could not be released without letting go. In front of everyone, he ordered: "Five thousand oceans, two
The 400 acres of land at the border of the county will be given to the Fu family. When giving it, make it clear that this is money to compensate for his son's life, not money to apologize to our Wei family."
"Dad!" Wei Ba was anxious and wanted to argue.
"Kneel down." Wei Tong didn't even look at his favorite son, he sat on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes slightly.
"father!"
"Kneel down! Everyone else, get out of here first!" Wei Tong opened his eyes and looked a little angry. The brothers below did not dare to speak out, and they could only grin in confusion and wanted to intercede for Wei Ba.
, but someone pulled him out before he could say anything.
Wei Ba is not afraid of anything. If there is one person in this world who makes him feel afraid, it must be his father. After everyone in the front hall retreated, Wei Ba stubbornly pulled his head and knelt down to Wei Ba with a thud.
But he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He felt that Master Fu San should die if he robbed his own people.
"You have to weigh your weight when doing things. How old are you this year? Don't you know what you can do and what you can't do?" Wei Tong did not scold Wei Ba, but just said a few words to him with seriousness. In fact, he knew that he
This son has a very sensitive mind, but his temper is too bad. Sometimes when his brain gets hot, he will do some very irrational things.
"I killed him to earn face for the Wei family."
"There's no need to talk about this matter anymore. You have to remember that Fu Zhanshan won't let it go so easily. You have to be on guard against him from now on." Wei Tong looked at Wei Ba but didn't let him get up, and then said: "These days, you are not allowed to
If you cause any trouble again, we have big business to do."
Wei Ba temporarily put aside other thoughts. He remembered that when he just returned home yesterday, Wei Tong had already revealed a little bit of relevant information. Although it was not much, it was enough to make Wei Ba have a lot of daydreams.
"Dad, what kind of business is this?"
Wei Tong was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to tell Wei Ba about this. After a while, he asked: "Do you know Xu Fu?"
"The alchemist who found the elixir for Qin Shihuang?"
"Yes, he is looking for the elixir of life." Wei Tong then asked: "Then do you believe in the elixir of life?"
"That's all Miao Chuan." Wei Ba immediately shook his head. Although people in his profession believe a lot, there are some things that can be believed, and some things that have nothing to do with it at all. You still have to cover your head and believe it.
, that is a fool. Wei Ba does not believe this. Throughout the ages, many emperors and generals have been dreaming of immortality, but no one has truly succeeded. Because immortality does not exist.
Wei Ba's tone was very firm, but Wei Tong smiled, bent down and said to him: "What would you think if I told you that elixir and immortality are true?"
"Are they all true?" Wei Ba's brain twitched and he was a little confused. He knew that his father would not joke for no reason. Once Wei Tong approved something, it would most likely be true. This
For a moment, Wei Ba didn't know whether to believe Wei Tong's words.
The elixir of death, immortality, is this real?
"It may be difficult to succeed in this business, but the rewards after finishing it are beyond your imagination." Wei Tong slowly drew a circle in front of him with his hand: "We will have eternal life."
Eternal life? What is that concept? Wei Ba's eyes began to blur, and his consciousness jumped up. A long and endless life span can survive in the long river of time and never die. The Wei family has a great cause and lacks nothing. If
What would happen if you could live for a hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer?
Sometimes, it is not difficult to change a person's beliefs. Various factors mixed together can quickly destroy a deep-rooted concept and idea in his heart. The temptation of eternal life is too great. Although Weiba is very young, he
I can think of the future.
"Lao Ba, do your best." Wei Tong pulled Wei Ba up and patted him on the shoulder: "Emperors from ancient times have always established leaders rather than virtuous people, but our Wei family is different. If you do this well, my position will be
Come and sit."
Immediately afterwards, all the prominent direct descendants of the Wei family were gathered together by Wei Tong, who wanted to officially announce the business he was about to take over. This was top-secret news, and just like Wei Ba, those who had heard about it for the first time
Sometimes, there are doubts and surprises, extreme surprises.
But Wei Tong's attitude gradually dispelled everyone's shaken hearts and doubts. Everyone knew Wei Tong's character and temper, and it was impossible for him to take such an important matter as a joke.
"It's actually a little late for us to take action now. Some people on the road got the news earlier than us, so we must be quick."
This business is very complicated, and many locations and clues are vague and cannot be completely confirmed. You have to go there in person to frame the situation. The Wei family is based in Li Ling, so it is impossible to rely entirely on their direct relatives. They have other people.
Strength. But the importance of the matter is self-evident, and Wei Tong does not intend to use outsiders. He has thought about it for a long time and has a rough plan in mind. He made a detailed division of labor. Except for Lao Jiu, who is not yet an adult,
The other eight brothers, and even their uncles, all have important tasks.
The manpower allocation is very simple. They all know that to do big things, you don't necessarily need a large number of people. Weiba's task is to find something together with his Yao Shu.
"A black box." Wei Tong said bluntly: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I must get it."
Must get it, the tone of these four words was very strong, and Wei Ba immediately knew the importance of this thing. He looked at Yao Shu Wei Lian sitting next to him, this is Wei Tong's youngest brother. Wei Ba was young
When he started practicing martial arts, it was Wei Lian who took him to practice qi on horseback by the lake every day.
From this moment on, the Wei family remained as usual on the surface, but internally it was operating nervously. They did not want anyone to notice the changes within the family, so everyone secretly left Li Ling in batches. After the family meeting
On the third day, Wei Ba and Wei Lian embarked on a journey away from home late at night.
I don't know why, but when Wei Ba looked back at the Wei family compound that was gradually receding in the night, he felt a very uneasy premonition in his heart. He couldn't tell exactly what would happen, but he always felt that this journey would...
Maybe it won't go so smoothly.
"Baby, what are you thinking about?" Wei Lian smiled beside him. This is the youngest brother of Wei Tong, and the most slippery and experienced one in the Wei family. In terms of skill, he can't even compare to several of his nephews.
, not to mention Wei Ba, one of the nine tigers of the Wei family, but his experience and adaptability are more important assets than his skills. The combination of him and Wei Ba was carefully planned by Wei Tong, although there are only two of them.
Individually, but with both literary and military skills, as long as they cooperate tacitly, they will do things beautifully.
They walked all the way north, and the Wei family's power was only in Li Ling. When they reached the northern border, the two of them restrained themselves a lot, pretending to be ordinary travelers, and traveled long distances day and night.
Without further explanation, when the uncle and nephew arrived in Shanxi after a long journey, they were still far away from their destination. This was the first time Weiba had been so far away from home. Along the way, he saw too many things.
This is also the first time I know how big the world is.
This year, Shanxi was plagued by drought for most of the year. It was the autumn harvest season, but most of the crops in the fields were dead. People in villages were forced to leave their homes and flee the famine.
When the uncle and nephew walked to the nearby Houma, they were overwhelmed by the surging crowds. No matter how hard they tried, they were useless in the waves of hungry people. The two were forced to follow the continuous flow of people towards the city.
The front is surging.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Someone in the crowd kept shouting loudly: "Bodhisattva Du is releasing food to provide disaster relief!"
