Chapter 171 The Arrival of the Great Elder of the Zhen Family (2)
‘That’s just the people down there. 'Xiao Yan said angrily, and then glanced at Le Shaolong displeasedly.
Le Shaolong's face turned slightly red, feeling deeply ashamed of the actions he had just hinted at, and hurriedly explained: "Wuchen, you don't know something. The blood contract of the Xiao family team is not in Young Master Xiao's hands, but in the hands of the eldest lady." . "
‘Isn’t it? "
Jing Wuchen was shocked, his mind was in chaos, the fighting power was not controlled by Xiao Yan himself? He turned his attention to Zhen Ni and thought that the relationship between Xiao Yan and the eldest lady of the Zhen family was not as simple as the rumors.
'Indeed. ‘Zhen Ni smiled and lowered her eyes.
After receiving Zhen Ni's recognition, Jing Wuchen came back from his trance and turned to look at Xiao Yan, unable to say a word. It was difficult to describe his mood at this time with any words. He was more moved by Xiao Yan's trust than when Xiao Yan had not killed him. He suddenly realized that Xiao Yan, who was not even burly, gradually seemed taller in his eyes.
‘Okay, don’t talk about mother-in-law and mother-in-law. If you are a brother, please take back the blood contract. With a faint smile on his lips, Xiao Yan nuzzled his lips towards Jing Wuchen.
‘Okay, brother, I won’t say anything. "Jing Wuchen is not a pedantic person. He took back the blood contract and said solemnly, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, the intelligence agency will always be the eyes and ears of Xiao Mansion. Even if I go up a mountain of swords and go down into a sea of fire, as long as you give me an order, Brother Xiao, I will never frown! "
‘On the way up to the mountain of swords and down to the sea of fire, it’s me and Long Yi who are at the front, so how can it be your turn! 'Xiao Yan laughed and cursed, then changed the subject when he heard footsteps coming from outside the hall. ‘The person chosen for you is here, see if you are satisfied with it. "
Quickly gathering his mind, Jing Wuchen looked towards the door. When he saw the ten Five-Star Dou Emperors walking in grandly one by one, he smiled so hard that he could hardly close his mouth. ‘Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied! ‘With that appearance, the son-in-law who was more interested in her than the mother-in-law was no less willing to give in, which made everyone laugh.
He briefly introduced Jing Wuchen to the ten Five-Star Dou Emperors, and briefly talked about the tasks that the ten people would undertake in the future. Le Shaolong led ten people to Zhen Ni.
Zhen Ni said seriously to the ten people: 'From now on, you will work under the leadership of Jing Wuchen and you must obey Jing Wuchen absolutely. Maybe this will delay your cultivation, but your future work is very important to Xiao Mansion. It is related to whether Xiao Mansion can rise quickly. From now on, you must cut off all contact with our main team and all ties with the Xiao Mansion, but you will always be a member of the Xiao Mansion. I believe you will do a great job. When the day comes when the Xiao Mansion truly rises, Mr. Xiao will personally celebrate your success. Also, protect yourself and don’t be careless at all, do you understand? "
The ten people said in unison: ‘We will definitely live up to the expectations of Young Master Xiao and Miss Xiao! "
Jing Wuchen rubbed his hands excitedly and said to Xiao Yan: 'I will take them back to plan and arrange the expansion. I won't stay much longer this time. Next time, I will find a private place to drink him until he gets drunk! "
'good. At that time, call the Raging Dragon and Chaos Eternal and have a good drink. "
Xiao Yan laughed heartily. He stood up and sent Jing Wuchen and ten members of the main team out, waving goodbye.
After returning to the hall and sitting down again, Xiao Yan asked Qing Haoran: 'Brother, why are you silent today? "
Qing Haoran smiled and said: "Although Jing Wuchen seems cynical and a little frivolous, in fact he attaches great importance to friendship and is a trustworthy person. Why should I say more?" It turns out you handled it well. "
Zhen Ni looked forward to it, her eyes full of smiles: "What the Demon King said is absolutely true. Although he sometimes laughs and laughs without formality, he always takes it seriously when it comes to serious matters. I believe he will take it seriously." The intelligence agency did a good job and believed in his loyalty to Mr. Xiao. "
‘It sounds like I did something wrong, and I actually felt a little worried at the time. ‘Le Shaolong’s face was full of shame.
‘What’s wrong with you? In your position, you should fulfill your responsibilities. It's not too late for me to be happy about your prudence. Xiao Yan waved his hand, signaling Le Shaolong not to take it seriously.
‘By the way, Mr. Xiao, do you want to hand over the relationship with the Huoli in Dan Palace to Jing Wuchen and the others? ‘Zhen Ni asked.
Xiao Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said: 'No. Huoli has a special status, and it was not developed by Wuchen and the others. If it is handed over to Wuchen and the others, I am worried that Huoli will develop resistance and defensiveness. It would be more appropriate to control it directly in our hands. "
Zhen Ni nodded, and Qing Muer interjected: 'They said you're not good at getting information, but I think you're quite a thief. "
Zhen Ni joked: 'He is just lazy. "
Qing Muer pouted and nodded, "Yeah, now you know why I called him a little liar, right?" "
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Yao took a sip of tea happily and said happily: 'The Xiao Mansion has its own intelligence agency, and the rise of the Xiao Clan will accelerate a little faster. It's really exciting! "
‘Ancestor, just look at it, if things continue like this, it won’t be long before the Xiao clan will surprise the entire Doudi Continent. "
Le Shaolong's words attracted everyone's agreement.
Just when everyone was laughing, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the hall-'Report! The eldest elder of the Zhen family is visiting! "
‘The eldest elder of the Zhen family? "
‘What is he here for? "
Nan Erming, Xiao Zhan and others looked at each other, with confusion and confusion on their faces; Xiao Yao stood up nervously, with a look of fear on his face; Xiao Yan was thoughtful, holding the celadon tea cup to his lips.
Qing Haoran chuckled and said: "Don't be nervous, it should be a good thing. It seems that my brother was right not to go to Zhen's house last time." "
The tense atmosphere in the hall immediately eased, and Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask excitedly: 'So, it's the Zhen family who sent us a big gift to lure us here? "
Qing Haoran nodded lightly. Everyone looked at me and me happily, smiling expectantly.
Only Le Shaolong didn't smile. He sighed softly, 'This gift is hard to accept! ’ Then he analyzed calmly, ‘If you accept it, the Xiao family will admit that they will continue to be a subsidiary family of the Zhen family; if you don’t accept it, it will be tantamount to breaking up with the Zhen family. We can offend such a big force as the Zhen family now. I'm sorry! "
Zhen Ni remained silent, obviously agreeing with Le Shaolong's view.
Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Yan anxiously. Seeing Xiao Yan frowning in thought, he quickly looked at Qing Haoran for help. Unlike Le Shaolong, Xiao Yao had a sense of belonging to the Zhen family. Although he dreamed of making the Xiao family stronger, he never thought of severing ties with the Zhen family and becoming an independent family.
Qing Haoran smiled understandingly and said: 'Shaolong's worry is not unreasonable. But I wonder if you have ever thought about what the Xiao Clan and Xiao Mansion lack most now? The most lacking time for exhibition! Having the backing of the Zhen family will definitely bring more advantages than disadvantages. At least it will make those forces who are eyeing him more worried, and the development will be smoother. 'Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhen Ni thoughtfully, and then looked at Xiao Yan, 'Moreover, the relationship between the Xiao clan and the Zhen family is quite delicate and cannot be analyzed according to normal rules. Brother, what do you think? "
This saves Le Shaolong and everyone. Xiao Yan and the Xiao clan have to face not only the Zhen family, but Xiao Yan also has to face his future father-in-law. If Xiao Yan refuses to accept the comfort and olive branch extended by the Zhen family, By separating the Xiao clan from their dependence on the Zhen family, the relationship between the Xiao clan and the Zhen family will inevitably deteriorate. Not only will it be extremely detrimental to the development of the Xiao family, but it will also be extremely painful for Zhen Ni to be caught in the middle.
Looking around at the people who were waiting for him to make a decision, and then looking at Xiao Yao who was full of anxiety and Zhen Ni who was bowing his head silently, Xiao Yan smiled as if he didn't know anything and said: 'Why are you looking at me? The Zhen family gives us benefits, which is a good thing! Why not accept it? Take it! Only fools don’t take advantage! "
Everyone laughed, Xiao Yao let out a sigh of relief, and the stone in Zhen Ni's heart fell to the ground.
Qing Haoran praised: "It's too hard and easy to break, too soft and easy to lose. The combination of hardness and softness is the way to grow. Brother, your decision is right." "
But Zhen Ni could hear that although Xiao Yan said it for granted, there was still a bit of unwillingness in his tone. She was very moved in her heart. She knew that Xiao Yan made such a decision partly for the Xiao clan and partly for the sake of the Xiao clan. It's because of her. She hurriedly said: 'Then let's go out to meet the great elder, don't keep him waiting too long. "
‘Brother, sit down with Mu’er for a moment while the others go together. "
What kind of status does the Demon Emperor have? Even if Zhen Ni's father, the Human Emperor Zhen Zongfu, comes in person, there is no need to get up to greet him, let alone the eldest elder of the Zhen family.
…………
Outside the gate of Xiao Mansion, the eldest elder of the Zhen family, dressed in white, stood in the air.
The patterns on the chest of the white clothes are embroidered with extremely rare gold threads, which reflect the sunlight. The golden luster makes the silk white clothes look luxurious yet elegant, showing the style of a generation of sect elders.
However, compared to the brilliant golden luster, the face of the eldest elder of the Zhen family was slightly gloomy. He originally thought that when he, as the eldest elder of the Zhen family, came to the door in person, Xiao Yan would be frightened and lead everyone in the Xiao Mansion to welcome him at a rate that he was satisfied with. Unexpectedly, the guard had already gone in to report for a long time, but there was no news from the Xiao Mansion. The slightest movement, and the thought of Xiao Yan's refusal to answer the call with excuses made him feel even more unhappy.
Just when his brows were about to twist into a ball, Xiao Yan and the others finally came out to greet him.
Seeing the unkind look on the face of the eldest elder of the Zhen family, Xiao Yao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Xiao Yao is late to greet you. I hope the eldest elder will not be surprised." "
With a slight snort, the eldest elder of the Zhen family nodded proudly.
Knowing that the eldest elder of the Zhen family had a grudge against the current Xiao clan and Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and turned away, silent.
But Xiao Yan, who had suppressed the wave of Dou Qi to the early stage of Five Stars before coming out, felt his heart sink and stopped moving forward. His face that was still smiling immediately turned cold. (To be continued...)
