Text Chapter 1798 The Third Generation Patriarch

Qingzhu silently released his pulse.

Sima Wentian and Gao Guan were alert to their surroundings while silently paying attention to Qingzhu's reaction.

"Some accidents happened in my early years, and it is reasonable that I lost some of my life. My magic power came from the world and returned to the world. There is nothing to regret. It is a sin to disturb Your Majesty." Xiahou Tuo replied happily, holding Xiahou Chengyu's hand and patting it gently.

Qingzhu sighed: "I thought Tianweng had a chance to enter the Soul Realm and live forever, but I didn't expect it."

Xiahou Tuo chuckled and said: "Soul Realm? I'm afraid that entering the Soul Realm may not be a good thing. Although the Soul Realm can live forever, what is the reality? There seems to be something irresistible in the dark. Those who have reached the Soul Realm have never heard of anyone who can have a good end. It's better to have a good beginning and a good end."

These words made Qingzhu fall into deep thought.

"Your Majesty! As a person is about to die, this old minister has something to ask for. I wonder if you can agree?" Xiahou Tuo suddenly said again.

Qing Zhu nodded and said, "As long as it does not violate the law of heaven and I can do it, Tian Weng will not be a problem."

Xiahou Tuo stared at him, "This old minister has already decided that the position of the head of the Xiahou family will be on the body of my son Xiahou Ling. I wonder if your majesty will agree to Xiahou Ling inheriting the title of Tian Weng?"

Hearing this, Xiahou Ling's heartbeat accelerated. At this moment, he was really moved. His father was paving the way for him before his death!

Xiahou Chengyu raised his tearful eyes and looked at Xiahou Ling. Qing Zhu also tilted his head to look at Xiahou Ling. Except for Xiahou Tuo staring at Qing Zhu, the eyes of the others fell on Xiahou Ling.

Qing Zhu finally turned around and smiled at Xiahou Tuo, "Xiahou Ling is also Chengyu's elder. He inherited the position of the head of the Xiahou family. It is reasonable for him to inherit the title of Tian Weng. There is nothing wrong with it." This is the last time to complete the friendship between the monarch and his subjects.

Xiahou Tuo bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After being supported by Qingzhu and Xiahou Chengyu, he said to Wei Shu, "Wei Shu, gather the people from other houses to come outside to listen to the order."

"Yes!" Wei Shu bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left quickly.

After Qingzhu and Xiahou Tuo chatted for a few more words, Wei Shu came back to report, "Master, everyone is here."

Xiahou Tuo's magic power was surging around him, and he stood up, put his feet on the bed, and stood up. Xiahou Chengyu wanted to help him, but he pushed his palm to stop him. He used magic power to support his flesh and blood body and walked outside.

Xiahou Ling quickly came forward to help, and Xiahou Tuo waved his hand to signal him to move aside and not let anyone help him.

"Father!" Xiahou Ling, who was following beside him, choked up and burst into tears. Looking at his father's body that was forcibly supported, his heart was full of grief. At this moment, his feelings for his father were sincere and he was really heartbroken for his father.

Of course, if Xiahou Tuo had made another arrangement, he would probably have more hatred in his heart.

There were thousands of people standing on the steps outside the bedroom. Xiahou Tuo's children and grandchildren were only a few, and the rest were concubines. Among these concubines, most were Xiahou Tuo's women. Most of them were young and beautiful, and some were old and yellow. The latter rarely showed up in public. Today, all of them were present.

As for the legal wife, Xiahou Tuo had never married a wife in his life, so there was no dispute between the legitimate and illegitimate children in the Xiahou family. The status of the children and grandchildren was the same.

At this time, everyone had heard about it and knew that Xiahou Tuo's life span had come to an end. Seeing Xiahou Tuo walking up the steps with his body supported by magic power, everyone's reactions were different. Some had already sobbed, some cried bitterly, some had complicated expressions, and some were silent.

Looking around at the people below, Xiahou Tuo did not say anything, and now he did not have the energy to say anything. He cast a spell and said in a deep voice: "My time is coming. Now, with your majesty and your majesty as witnesses, I will appoint my second son Xiahou Ling as the third head of the Xiahou family. From now on, the whole family will respect Xiahou Ling. Those who disrespect him will be severely punished according to the family law!"

"Father!"

"Grandpa!"

There was a cry of pain below, and the descendants all knelt down one after another. Most of Xiahou Tuo's concubines stood there wiping their tears, not knowing where to go in the future.

"Xiahou Ling!" Xiahou Tuo shouted in a deep voice, and raised a quaint sword with a dark sheath in his hand, which was the token of the head of the Xiahou family's power.

Xiahou Ling came out quickly, walked to the next step and knelt down, holding his hands up. Xiahou Tuo, who was looking down at him, put the sword into his hands.

Xiahou Ling kowtowed three times with the sword in his hand, then stood up, holding the sword in front of his chest with both hands, facing the Xiahou family.

This time, the kneeling person stood up, and the people standing under the Xiahou family, including Wei Shu, also walked quickly to the bottom of the steps, bowed together, and said in unison: "Meet the head of the family!"

At this moment, Xiahou Ling was excited, and Xiahou Ling's mother in the crowd was also excited.

In front of the window in the house, Qingzhu looked at the situation outside the window with his hands behind his back with interest. It was like watching the excitement. It was hard not to feel the excitement. How could he not know that most of the people who came here to worship were Xiahou family children who had no real power in their hands. None of the children who really held the power of the Xiahou family could see the light, and none of them were present. He couldn't help but wonder, can the head of the family token in Xiahou Ling's hand command those people?

The more he looked, the more interesting he found it, and he felt that the trip was worthwhile.

After the succession ceremony, the Xiahou family dispersed. After expressing their condolences, Qingzhu also said goodbye, but he allowed Xiahou Chengyu to stay and fulfill his filial duties.

The Heavenly Court people then withdrew from the Tianweng Mansion, leaving only a small number of people to obey Xiahou Chengyu's orders.

After watching Qingzhu leave, Xiahou Ling said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the mansion will follow the old man's orders for the time being!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

But two voices of receiving orders came from behind. Xiahou Ling looked back and was stunned. Wei Shu and another person looked at each other in surprise.

The other person was named Fu Tong. Xiahou Ling also had a butler who usually obeyed orders. It was this Fu Tong.

Xiahou Ling spoke, and Fu Tong habitually received orders. In Wei Shu's eyes, Xiahou Ling now spoke as the head of the family, so he naturally had to receive orders. However, in this way, the first decree issued by Xiahou Ling after taking over the position of head of the family caused a conflict.

When Wei Shu looked at him, Fu Tong's hair stood up in shock. The status between him as a butler and Wei Shu as a butler was too different. To some extent, Wei Shu could be the first person in the Xiahou family besides Xiahou Tuo. He was connected with various mysterious powers unknown to outsiders. Even Xiahou Ling was afraid of him and did not dare to offend him. He didn't know what Wei Shu would think of his receiving orders just now.

Fu Tong knew very well that although Xiahou Ling was now the head of the family, he had not yet established a firm foothold. If Wei Shu wanted to kill him, Fu Tong, Xiahou Ling would not be able to protect him.

"Butler Wei, from today on, Fu Tong will obey your orders." Regardless of whether it was out of sincerity or not, Xiahou Ling directly clarified the identities of the two.

"Yes!" This time the two of them took the order together.

In the Heavenly Palace, as soon as Qingzhu came back, Shangguan Qing and others who were waiting outside the gate of the Star Palace immediately turned around and went in.

"What's the situation?" Wu Qu asked Sima Wentian and Gao Guan.

Sima Wentian gave a brief account of the situation. Pojun frowned and said, "So, Xiahou Tuo is really approaching the end of his life?"

"I have personally checked it out, and it is indeed true. He is not an imposter. It is difficult for an imposter to imitate Xiahou Tuo's words and deeds so closely." Qingzhu, who was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, sneered, and was obviously a little excited. "Xiahou Tuo has been calculating all his life, but he can't escape his fate! The Xiahou family is missing this old fox at the helm, hehe..."

Gao Guan said expressionlessly, "Since Xiahou Tuo can let Xiahou Ling take over the Xiahou family, he must have made proper arrangements."

"Xiahou Ling?" Qingzhu sneered three times, "He may have some ambitions, but he is a man with high aspirations but low skills. Don't worry too much!" Po Jun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you still need to be careful and not be careless. Maybe that old fox has already set a trap and is waiting for people to jump into it." Wu Qu Yitou reminded, "Even if Xiahou Tuo can't plan everything for his death, he will know the crisis that the Xiahou family may face after his death. It is very likely that he has prepared to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and establish his prestige. I am afraid that anyone who bumps into him will be hit by a bloody head!" Qingzhu nodded slightly, and after a moment of silence, he sighed again, "Xiahou Tuo's life..." He stopped talking and shook his head. In the inner garden hall of Kou Tianwang's mansion, Kou Lingxu walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning. The abnormality of the Xiahou family was naturally known here, but he couldn't figure out what happened, but he didn't dare to be careless. Outside the palace, Kou Zheng followed Tang Henian and walked quickly. After they both saluted, Kou Lingxu asked in a deep voice, "What news have you found out?"

Tang Henian shook his head, "The current situation is unclear, but there is news from the palace that someone saw Xiahou Chengyu crying and went to the Xingchen Palace to find Qingzhu. Then Qingzhu and Xiahou Chengyu went to the Xiahou family together. After Qingzhu returned, Xiahou Chengyu stayed at the Xiahou family."

"What happened?" Kou Lingxu was a little uneasy. With such a big commotion, they couldn't figure out the situation here. It was too passive.

Just then, a message came from the Xingling. After Kou Lingxu took out the Xingling and made some calls, he was stunned and stood there for a long time without saying a word.

Tang Henian instinctively realized that it might be related to the Xiahou family, and asked: "Prince, what happened?"

Kou Lingxu silently put away the star bell and said in a deep voice: "According to the news from Ying Jiuguang, Xiahou Tuo's time is coming. Under the witness of Qingzhu, the position of the head of the Xiahou family has been passed to Xiahou Ling. Qingzhu promised to let Xiahou Ling inherit the position of Tianweng!"

"Ah!" Tang Henian and Kou Zheng cried out in surprise. They never dreamed that this would happen. That's Xiahou Tuo! He's going to die?

After Tang Henian came to his senses, he urgently asked: "Prince, is the news reliable? The Xiahou family has strictly blocked the news, how did Ying Jiuguang know the news?"

Kou Lingxu closed his eyes and said: "This prince is also puzzled by this matter. This time, Ying Jiuguang forced Tianfei Zhan Ruyi to ask Qingzhu for information. It was Qingzhu who told Zhan Ruyi personally... Ying Jiuguang sent this granddaughter to the palace, which was worth it! It suits Qingzhu's taste. Old Tang, you have to review and analyze this matter carefully. Why can't we send so many beauties to the palace to match Zhan Ruyi's taste? I'm afraid it's not just because of status?"
