Main Text Chapter 2008 You Have Been Exposed

The two looked at each other, and Qi Jue said softly: "My boss, as soon as this rumor comes out, all the leverage we have left to control Niu Youde will be destroyed."

Cao Fengchi remained silent while Cao Man stared at her.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Cao Man suddenly said: "Fengchi, how should I treat you?"

Cao Fengchi said respectfully: "Treat Fengchi like your own granddaughter."

Cao Man: "I do come to see you as my biological granddaughter. I am hiding in this place where there are no humans or ghosts, and I have no children in my life. Sooner or later, this Xinyi Pavilion will want you to be the head of the house, so I have always regarded you as my granddaughter." Take it with you, do you understand?"

Cao Fengchi was happy in his heart, but on the outside he was worried and said humbly: "Third Grandpa, my granddaughter's abilities are limited. I ask Third Grandpa to choose someone else."

Cao Man raised his hand to stop and asked, "How do you think the head of the family treats me?"

Cao Fengchi hesitated slightly, shook his head slowly and said, "Fengchi doesn't know how to evaluate it."

Cao Man sighed: "If you say you don't know, it means you know it in your heart. If I hadn't relied on Niu Youde, I would have died a long time ago. But how long can such days last? Sooner or later, the master of the house will still attack me. Outsiders may not know this, but we insiders know it well!”

Speaking of this, Cao Man seemed a little excited. He stood up and walked around and said: "For the Xiahou family, I have been hiding in the darkness for so many years. For the family, I am sincere, conscientious and loyal. For the Xiahou family, I have sacrificed I have lived my whole life, but Xia Houling couldn't tolerate me. He killed me for his own selfish desires regardless of the brothers and sisters! I'm afraid it's not just me he wants to get rid of. Just because I stand in the open, if anything happens to the other brothers, the rest will be killed. He must be very afraid of being together with me, so he regards me as a thorn in his side and wants to get rid of me as soon as possible!"

Cao Fengchi and Qi Jue were frightened when they heard this. It was the first time they heard him openly express their dissatisfaction with the head of the family.

If Cao Fengchi remembered correctly, when they went to the Netherworld Governor's Mansion together, the third grandfather almost fell out with Niu Youde in order to protect the head of the family.

Boom! Cao Man suddenly punched the table with his fist and said angrily: "If I can get him to be merciful to the other brothers by surrendering to death, then I will die well, so what's the point of dying? But he may not let me get my wish! If I don't die, He is still afraid to do anything to other brothers. If I die, the other brothers will have no way to survive! The Xiahou family is not afraid of external troubles, but is afraid of internal strife. "Here, what do you think I should do?"

When asked about their opinions on this matter, how would they respond?

Cao Fengchi and Qi Jue quickly raised their hands and said, "I am willing to follow my boss to the death!"

They could only say this. Seeing Cao Man reach this point, they knew that if they didn't express their stance like this, they might not be able to leave Xinyi Pavilion alive...

The green mountains are high, the bright moon shines, and a lonely boat floats along the river.

Yuan Gong sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, listening to the cries of apes and tigers in the mountains, and looking up at the bright moon in the night sky. He seemed carefree, but his heart was extremely uneasy. He held a star bell in his hand that had not made a sound for who knows how long.

The Nether Governor's Mansion contacted him several times, but he did not dare to respond, just because he suddenly received an incredible message before, from his father Xiahou Tuo!

The star bell in my hand, which was specially used to communicate with my father, has been silent since his father's death. It is only a souvenir and a memory!

He never dreamed that one day this star bell would send a message to him again.

When the star bell woke up again, he couldn't believe it. He thought he was dreaming, and his hand holding the star bell was trembling.

But it turned out that he was not dreaming, it was really a message from his father. Only then did he realize that his father was not dead. He had just moved from the light to the dark, and had been watching everything that happened in the Xiahou family with a cold eye. His father's death was just a cover-up. suspended animation!

Xiahou Tuo didn't answer him much. He only said one sentence to him: You have been exposed. Niu Youde already knows your details. He will immediately start the fourth generation of the Xiahou family to take your place and disappear immediately. The clan elders will meet contact you.

The Xiahou family originated from his grandfather Xiahou Chang'an, so his grandfather Xiahou Chang'an was the first generation, Xiahou Tuo was the second generation, and he was the third generation. Starting the fourth generation to succeed him meant that he would officially let go of the family. The power of the Xiahou family.

As for the Clan Elders Association, it was also founded by Xiahou Tuo. It is the most mysterious existence of the Xiahou family. Not everyone in the Xiahou family can enter. Only those who have officially held great power in the Xiahou family are exposed or retire. Only Only those who have officially held power in the Xiahou family know about the existence of the clan elders' association, but they don't know where it is, not even the old man's confidant Wei Shu. When he took over the power of this party, his father Xiahou Tuocai officially informed him of the existence of the clan elders' association.

After joining the clan elders' association, all the star bells that have contact with the outside world must be handed over. From then on, you will give up all power, give up all extravagant love for the outside world, and enjoy peace and happiness.

But only people like him who have mastered the power of the Xiahou family know the huge influence of the clan elders' association. According to his own guess, the clan elders' association should be the Xiahou family's last trump card. Although the previous leaders have given up their power, they can not It does not mean that the influence has completely disappeared. Anyone who has been running the power in his hands for so many years will have some of his own people, covertly or covertly. Once he gets the approval of the clan elders council to pick up the star bell for external communication, the influence will have an effect.

The mysterious guards around the head of the Xiahou family are from the Elders' Council. The outside world cannot find out any of their origins. The head of the family guards do not contact the outside world. Their only duty is to protect the head of the family. They do not care about other things. This is their only duty.

Yuan Gong even doubted whether the old man had handed over the power of the Elders' Council to Xiahou Ling. Otherwise, why couldn't he do anything to them for so many years? Now that the old man suddenly sent a message, his guess was confirmed.

If Xiahou Ling said inexplicably that you were exposed and wanted him to hand over power without even an explanation, he might not listen. But the old man suddenly came back to life and ordered him. He dared not disobey and could only retire from now on!

Thinking of this, Yuan Gong, who was sitting cross-legged in the breeze and bright moon, suddenly smiled bitterly. He was afraid that if he didn't want to retire, the old man might not let him know that he was still alive!

"Haven't you contacted yet?"

In the Governor's Mansion of the Netherworld, Miao Yi stared at Xu Tangran and asked coldly.

Seeing Miao Yi's expression was not right, Xu Tangran's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he cursed Yuan Gong's ancestors in his heart. He said awkwardly: "I don't know where he went. There is no response so far. I will continue to contact him until I can contact him!"

Yang Zhaoqing on the side also frowned deeply. He also contacted him, but he couldn't contact Yuan Gong.

Miao Yi waved his hand and shouted: "It's useless to just contact him. Go check!"

"Yes, yes, I'll check it out right away!" Xu Tangran nodded and bowed, turned around and left quickly. After leaving the hall, he raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. The momentum that the current master inadvertently revealed now gave people more pressure.

No need to face that pressure, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but in my heart I was cursing where Yuan Gong had gone, and I hope nothing happened to him.

In the back hall, Yang Qing walked out slowly and came to Miao Yi. He looked serious and said, "Why did he suddenly disappear at this time?"

Miao Yi's face was indeed not good. He was about to use Yuan Gong's mouth to put pressure on Cao Man and force Cao Man to surrender, but Yuan Gong suddenly disappeared at this time. He was a little caught off guard.

Yang Zhaoqing said, "It stands to reason that he should not know that his identity has been exposed. Could something have happened?"

Yang Qing shook his head slowly and said, "Yuan Gong's status in the Xiahou family is not ordinary. The necessary protection measures should not be bad. It is unlikely that something will happen easily without any movement. If something really happened, it would be reassuring. What I am afraid of is... Why did he disappear at this time if he didn't disappear earlier or later?" There was a flicker of suspicion in his eyes.

At this moment, Miao Yi suddenly took out the Star Bell, contacted someone for a while, and put down the Star Bell and remained silent.

Yang Qing waited for a while and couldn't help asking, "My Lord, what happened?"

"Cao Man contacted me and gave me a message."

"What message?"

"He didn't know anything about Xiahou Lingsheng!"

Yang Zhaoqing was relieved when he heard this, "It seems that Cao Man has finally made up his mind to take that position. He doesn't want to take any responsibility and wants to borrow your help. In this way, there is no need to put pressure on him. It doesn't matter whether Yuan Gong is there or not."

Miao Yi's mouth twitched and he said coldly, "Yuan Gong suddenly disappeared, and Cao Man agreed to it. When these things come together, why do I feel something is wrong?"

Yang Qing said nothing, frowning in confusion. (To be continued.)8
