After coughing for a long time, Zhuo Mufeng held the table with both hands, raised his head and looked at Dongfang Changsheng, who had a normal expression, with a strange look. He cleared his throat, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Great Elder, what did you just say, I didn't hear clearly.
."
Dongfang Changsheng didn't care whether he was teasing or he really didn't hear clearly, and said again: "Marriage. I will marry the daughter of the Dongfang family to you. In this way, as the uncle of the Dongfang family, you don't have to worry.
You must have been taken advantage of by me."
Zhuo Mufeng slowly returned to normal, straightened up, and his eyes were as bright as fire: "Did the Great Elder forget that I am already married? I love my wife at home, she is virtuous and polite, and I will never divorce her and marry her again!"
Dongfang Changsheng: "I didn't ask you to divorce your wife."
Zhuo Mufeng's eyes widened: "Could it be that you want a woman from your Dongfang family to be a child? Haha..." He seemed to understand. This old guy couldn't just randomly pick a woman from the family and give it to him, right?
That would be a marriage, but it's a pity that it's useless. Besides, even if Dongfang Changsheng really marries his legitimate daughter, Zhuo Mufeng won't believe this old thing.
It's not like he was trapped by the door. Only a fool would think that by getting married, the two parties could turn their hostility into friendship and wipe out all the past grudges.
Many thoughts flashed through my mind, and Dongfang Changsheng said calmly: "Mufeng, you have many women, and I don't care about that. With your current status and power, even if my Dongfang family marries a legitimate daughter and gives you a child,
No one will say anything."
Are you serious? Even though he disdained the other party's proposal, Zhuo Mufeng was still curious and leaned his upper body slightly forward: "I wonder who the great elder plans to marry to me?"
Dongfang Tao, who was sitting on the bow of the boat fishing, slightly twitched the corner of his mouth.
Dongfang Changsheng in the boat said: "This girl is my second brother, Dongfang Changwei's granddaughter, Dongfang Xia Ying. You all met her back then."
Zhuo Mufeng was a little confused when he heard the words Dongfang Xia Ying at first, but with his unparalleled memory, he quickly remembered it.
Isn't this the unruly woman who accidentally broke into Sister Su's yard, drew a sword and slashed at herself, but was slapped on the butt by herself?
When I was responsible for helping Sister Su sweep the floor, the woman kept wandering in front of me and couldn't get along with me. She even slapped me so much that I couldn't get out of bed for several days. It seemed that the woman liked to cling to Sister Su and had a tendency to have sex with her.
When he thought of this, Zhuo Mufeng felt a chill all over his body. He waved his hands without thinking and said, "Forget it. I can't bear it. If the Great Elder has nothing else to do, I will leave."
Since he couldn't kill the old guy anyway, Zhuo Mufeng didn't bother to do anything.
Seeing Zhuo Mufeng stand up and walk out, Dongfang Changsheng frowned and said: "Dongfang Xia Ying is the only granddaughter of my second brother. Regardless of her identity, she is a martial arts genius. I think it is best for her to marry you
It already reflects my full sincerity!”
In fact, this is true. The Dongfang family has many side lines, and there are only a few people in the direct line. Dongfang Xia Ying is definitely one of the people with the most righteous blood. In addition, she is beautiful and has high talents. Except for Dongfang Qianxue
, I searched the entire Eastern family several times and could not find an unmarried woman with better conditions.
It can be seen from this that Dongfang Changsheng has definitely spent a lot of money. Zhuo Mufeng did not know that before coming here, Dongfang Changsheng half-persuaded and half-forced for a long time before Dongfang Changwei reluctantly agreed to this matter.
I thought that Zhuo Mufeng was at the end of his rope and got such an outstanding woman for nothing. She was so beautiful and full of face that it was impossible not to agree. But I didn't expect that the other party refused so firmly.
Dongfang Changsheng stood up and shouted: "Mu Feng, there are no eternal enemies in the world. You and I have the same interests. Even if it is not for you, we should think about the people who follow you!"
Hearing this, Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but pause. Of course, he didn't change his mind, but he thought that he refused so simply and confidently, without looking like he was trapped in a desperate situation, which might make Dongfang Changsheng suspicious.
.
Now is the critical period for the implementation of the plan, and the secret must not be revealed. Zhuo Mufeng snorted: "Great Elder, please don't treat me as a fool. You just want to use me to arm-wrestle with the court. Who knows when you will turn around?"
Deal with me."
Dongfang Changsheng: "I won't hide it from you. I do have plans to cooperate with you to fight against the imperial court. But because of this, you have to rest assured. The imperial court is in dire straits, and the two sides may not be able to tell the winner for decades.
At least for a few decades, you don’t have to worry about being betrayed by me. Isn’t this more effective than any oath?
If you don’t even believe this, then no matter how many promises I make, no matter how many things I do, it will be useless, you are determined to go to a dead end!"
Zhuo Mufeng could feel the sharp gaze coming from behind, and knew that he had to do something, otherwise the old man would be suspicious, so he turned his head and said: "I want you to believe the great elder, but there is no way, but I am afraid that the great elder will not agree.
"
"Oh?" Dongfang Changsheng's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Mufeng, please tell me."
Zhuo Mufeng: "The great elder proposed the marriage plan, naturally for the sake of my peace of mind, and I would like to thank you. But with all due respect, Dongfang Xia Ying's status is noble, but it is not enough. After all, she is not the direct bloodline of the great elder.
.Unless, unless the Great Elder marries Dongfang Qianxue to me! Miss Xue is the Great Elder’s only bloodline, and I heard that he loves her very much. If even she is willing to let go, then I will believe that the Great Elder is sincere this time.
"
Dongfang Changsheng, who was still smiling at first, his face darkened a little when he heard the second half of the sentence. After Zhuo Mufeng finished speaking, his eyes turned cold.
As Zhuo Mufeng expected, Dongfang Changsheng did have doubts before, but at this time, Zhuo Mufeng pulled him away. He thought he saw the kid's ambition. It turned out that he had been pretending for a long time because he wanted to win Dongfang.
The most dazzling pearl of the family, his most beloved granddaughter, this boy is so brave!
Dongfang Changsheng said coldly: "Don't push yourself too far. The identities of Dongfang Xia Ying and Xue'er are not much different."
After clicking his tongue twice, Zhuo Mufeng looked like a scoundrel: "You said there's not much of a difference. One just called her by name, and the other called Xue'er. The importance of the two in the heart of the great elder is simply worlds apart, right?"
Dongfang Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "Xue'er can't marry you."
Nodding, Zhuo Mufeng looked like he had expected it, and said with a smile: "I understand."
That attitude is clearly a mockery of Dongfang Changsheng. Didn’t you, the great elder, say that you will never use me? You are so happy to marry someone else’s granddaughter, but when it’s your own granddaughter’s turn, you look like you’ve fed the wolf, and you still say that you won’t use me? You
The great elder has probably even thought about how to deal with me!
Zhuo Mufeng sneered and said: "Dongfang Changsheng, I have seen through your tricks a long time ago. Since there will be no good results whether we marry or not, I will be used by you because I am a bitch to help you, we will see!"
Turning around and striding away, he saw Dongfang Tao standing up at the bow of the boat. The man didn't forget to snort to show his indignation. Then he stepped on his feet and passed dozens of feet across the lake, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Dongfang Tao walked up to Dongfang Changsheng and saw that his old face was livid, his body was constantly shaking, and his poker face that had not changed for thousands of years became slightly weird, and he said: "Elder, don't pay attention to that kid. He is in a desperate situation and will inevitably compromise.
of."
Dongfang Changsheng gritted his teeth and said: "You don't understand. Sometimes that kid is calm, but sometimes he is extremely brainless and stupid. Speaking of which, if I refuse to marry Xue'er to him, he will feel that his self-esteem has been damaged.
You're being tricked by me, and you'll probably do whatever you want if you're hot-headed!" After saying this, he couldn't help but cursed bitterly, "You idiot."
Hearing this, Dongfang Tao was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that things would evolve to this point.
Originally, he wanted to sacrifice Dongfang Xia Ying, but for this the first elder was often complained by the second elder. Now it's better. His granddaughter can't be sacrificed even if he wants to. What's the point of seeing his own granddaughter being sacrificed?
The key point is that everyone in the Dongfang family knows how much the eldest elder loves Dongfang Qianxue, not to mention that the latter is the first genius in the history of the family, so how can he marry outside?
Regardless of emotion or reason, Dongfang Qianxue must not move. Dongfang Tao changed his mood and said calmly: "Since that kid doesn't know whether to live or die, let him have a taste of his power!"
Dongfang Changsheng walked to one side, pushed open the window panel, and looked out the window at the leisurely lake and vast mountains. There was a complicated and unreadable look in his eyes: "I have sent a message to the boy, asking him to come back in three days."
As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Tao suddenly shook his whole body and looked at the opponent's back in disbelief.
Just listen to Dongfang Changsheng murmur: "We must join forces with that kid, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward with all plans, but I really can't sacrifice Xueer. Dongfang Tao, what are your good ideas?"
Dongfang Tao felt chills in his heart and lowered his head slightly: "I am stupid and can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds." There was a dissatisfied snort in his ears, and the two of them were speechless for a while.
But Dongfang Tao knew very well that when Dongfang Changsheng passed the message to Zhuo Mufeng, he actually made a decision in his heart. This is a person who is willing to use any means and sacrifice everything for the revitalization of his family to achieve his goals.
The family is lucky to have such a person as its leader, but for his relatives, what he did was so cruel! His wife, son, and daughter-in-law were all sacrificed, and now it is the turn of the only granddaughter...
Zhuo Mufeng returned to the Baifu courtyard with a gloomy look on his face. He didn't know what he thought of, but Zhuo Mufeng shook his head and was very emotional.
Lou Linxuan had been waiting here. When he saw him coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask. After hearing what had happened, Lou Linxuan looked at Zhuo Mufeng with a strange look on his face and was silent for a long time. He even stopped shaking the fan.
.
Zhuo Mufeng felt numb when he looked at him. He walked to the stone table and sat down, as if anxious and guilty. He waved his hands and said, "What are you looking at me for, Uncle Lou?"
Lou Linxuan pondered for a long time and sighed: "Should Lou congratulate my uncle for getting another beautiful woman?"
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Zhuo Mufeng jumped anxiously: "Uncle Lou, don't talk nonsense!"
Lou Linxuan looked deeply at Zhuo Mufeng: "My uncle has long understood that since Dongfang Changsheng invited you to meet again in three days, it means that he has made a decision, but he just couldn't live with it in terms of face, so he took the opportunity to buffer it."
