Text Chapter 2017 Wei Shu Arrives

However, my nerves quickly became tense again, and I suddenly realized a problem. If the Xiahou family knew that Niu Youde had done it, everyone in the Xiahou family would suspect that it was related to him. Everyone knew something. He knew very well that the position of the head of the family at that time was probably not that easy to sit in. If he couldn't sit in it and someone else took it, who could trust him as a person who wanted to murder the head of the family?

The star bell in his hand asked urgently: You didn't show any flaws, did you?

When things have reached this point, there is no need to hide the secret connection between the two parties and keep it secret from others.

Miao Yi: Don't worry, boss, there are no flaws. There's no need for me to ask for trouble.

How can Cao Man rest assured easily? At a small scale, this matter is an attempt to kill the family head, but at a big scale, it can be labeled as betraying the family. The scum of the family will be punished by everyone. He asked uneasily: "The protection of the family head is not simple. He There are so many experts around you, how can you make sure there are no flaws?

Miao Yi was secretly amused. It seemed that this guy was unusually nervous. He replied: I don't need to reveal any flaws. He committed suicide.

Cao Man was shocked and confused: Suicide? How could it be possible to commit suicide!

Miao Yi: It’s nothing, it’s just that the demon monk Nan Bo accidentally knew his whereabouts, and then he committed suicide. It has nothing to do with me.

Cao Man was stunned, and then he really felt relieved, and cursed in his heart. It has nothing to do with you. Do you dare to say that you didn't reveal your whereabouts to the demon monk?

But there is no point in blaming this now. We are not three-year-old children. I continue to ask: Is the body in your hands?

Miao Yi: Why do I need a corpse? The body was in the hands of his accompanying escort.

Cao Man was silent. He hadn't received the notification from his family yet. It seemed that the news was blocked. It was hard for him to ask about this matter. He could only wait for the notification. After thinking for a while, he replied: If the situation is true, regardless of whether it is to avenge the head of the family, the next step of the Xiahou family must be to eradicate the demon monk with all their strength. You cannot give that blood lotus to other members of the Xiahou family, do you understand?

Of course Miao Yi understood what he meant. Logically speaking, Cao Man should be the next head of the family regardless of seniority or anything else. If the Blood Lotus fell into the hands of other Xiahou family, things could easily change. Once Cao Man took over as the head of the family, things would change. The position needs to be achieved as soon as possible to convince the public. If he controls the blood lotus and says there is a way to lure the demon monk out, the Xiahou family must listen to his opinion. If he can use the blood lotus as bait to capture the demon monk, Cao Man will solve it. The biggest worry of the Xiahou family is the biggest contributor to the entire Xiahou family!

Miao Yi: Don’t worry, I only cooperate with my employer! But you can’t let me work in vain, can you? My boss should also understand me. The only way to cooperate is when everyone comes and goes!

Cao Man knew this matter from the beginning to the end. Cao Man could naturally guess what he wanted. How could it be possible for Niu Youde to take such a big risk for him? He replied: Let’s see what happens next. If it’s not my turn to speak, then there’s nothing I can do to help. No matter what you say now, it’s just nonsense!

Miao Yi could understand this. This matter was not trivial. Cao Man could not help but take whatever he said. He would not dare to come out without confirming that Xia Houling was really dead.

Miao Yi: It's easy to say, Niu is waiting for the good news from his employer! But one thing I want to remind my boss is that Wei Shu didn’t come with him this time. I don’t need to remind him what role Wei Shu plays in Xiahou’s family. My boss, please be more careful!

After ending the contact and collecting the star bell, Cao Man felt numb all over, as if electric current was traveling throughout his body.

He knew that Miao Yi had big intentions and would not lie to him about this kind of thing. The feeling of expectation in his heart was beyond words.

Unfortunately, he can't do anything now. He can't do anything even if he wants to. He can't reveal any intentions. What he needs to do has been arranged secretly. He made preparations to prevent failure before. Now he can only wait for the news of Xia Houling's death to arrive. .

He knew this very well. No matter how much the news of Xia Houling's death was blocked, it would be impossible to hide it from the leaders of the various fronts. Otherwise, the brothers would not be able to figure out the situation and get out of control. As Niu Youde said, Wei Shu's weight is very important now. Wei Shu is the assistant figure assigned to the family head by the old man. In addition, with the accumulated prestige, whoever Wei Shu stands next to will be the leader of the Xiahou family in the future. It is not unreasonable for Niu Youde to be careful, but he is overly worried. That is because Niu Youde does not know about the existence of the Xiahou family and the clan elders' association. Wei Shu cannot choose to randomly choose sides based on his personal preferences. He must give priority to the interests of the Xiahou family. He, Cao Man, was the first choice!

As for Xia Houling's death, he didn't feel any sadness. A person who wanted to kill him had no brotherhood to speak of. The hatred in his heart was too late, so there was no sadness, only excitement and happiness.

The next day, Cao Man was immersed in the darkness, sitting cross-legged and meditating, when Qi Jue knocked on the door, "Master!"

"Come in!" After Cao Man spoke, he heard the sound of the door opening and the footsteps of two people coming in. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a man following Qi Jue. The man had obviously changed his appearance, and Qi Jue's attitude He looked very respectful to the visitor.

Cao Man squinted his eyes and stared at the incoming person. There were only a handful of people who Qi Jue could directly bring over without saying hello.

The visitor tilted his head to indicate to Qi Jue. Qi Jue glanced at Cao Man, not daring to have any reaction, quietly retreated and closed the door.

The visitor tore off the mask on his face, revealing a familiar face, who could it be if it wasn't Wei Shu.

"I pay my respects to the third master!" Wei Shu took a few steps forward and bowed in salute.

At this moment, a big stone in Cao Man's heart fell to the ground. The excitement in his heart was hard to describe, but he tried his best to suppress it. He quickly got off the bed and returned the gift. He raised his hands in surprise and said: "Chief Wei, why are you here? But the master of the house has What order?"

Wei Shu stood up and raised his face, tears streaming down his face.

Cao Man was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he was surprised and said, "Butler Wei, what happened to you?"

Wei Shu choked and trembled and said, "Third Master, the head of the family... the head of the family was assassinated!"

"Ah..." Cao Man stepped back in shock, bumped into the edge of the couch and stopped, and said in a lost voice, "How is this possible?"

Wei Shu stared at him for a while with tears in his eyes, raised his sleeves to wipe his tears and shook his head.

Cao Man stepped forward again, shook Wei Shu's hand with both hands, and said anxiously, "Butler Wei, what happened?"

Wei Shu choked and said, "The head of the family went to the Governor's Mansion of the Netherworld to visit Niu Youde yesterday, but he was assassinated not long after leaving the Netherworld!"

Cao Man narrowed his eyes, his heartstrings tightened, but on the surface he was furious and said, "Was it Niu Youde who did it?"

Wei Shu shook his head, "It should be the evil monk Nanbo who did it..." He told the details of what he learned from the guards.

After hearing that it had nothing to do with Niu Youde, Cao Man breathed a sigh of relief, and gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "Evil monk, I swear to kill this thief!"

Wei Shu nodded and bowed his hands and said: "Third Master is right, the evil monk is a big threat to the Xiahou family, Third Master should gather brothers and sisters to get rid of this thief!"

"This..." Cao Man hesitated a little, and said: "Whether it is for the Xiahou family or to get rid of the thief, it should be so, but how can I be qualified to gather all the brothers, I am afraid that this matter still needs the general steward Wei to come forward!" He took two steps back and bowed his hands and said: "I am willing to obey the general steward's dispatch!"

Wei Shu sighed: "I am just a slave, how can I do this. Third Master, a dragon without a head cannot do, and soldiers without a master will be in chaos. At this time, the Xiahou family must not have any chaos. Whether it is based on seniority or ranking, the elders and the young are in order, Third Master should take the lead. If other masters are dissatisfied, it will cause disputes! Third Master, even if it is for the sake of the Xiahou family, this is not the time to be humble and refuse!" Bowed to the end.

Cao Man shook his head and asked tentatively: "The elders' council should make the decision on this matter. Why doesn't Wei contact the elders' council?"

Wei Shu said sincerely: "The elders' council already knows about this matter. It was the elders who asked me to come to the Third Master."

Cao Man's heart was moved again, but he still did not lose his composure and said: "This matter is of great importance. Can Wei introduce me to the elders' council?" He wanted to take the opportunity to find out the details of the elders' council and control the elders' council.

Wei Shu said in embarrassment: "To be honest with you, Third Master, I just received the order from the elders' council to come to you. I can't contact the elders' council at all, and I don't know where the elders' council is. The elders' council said that when the time comes, they will naturally contact the Third Master!"

At this point, Cao Man would not agree easily, even if he was hypocritical and pretended to refuse repeatedly. Finally, after Wei Shu's repeated persuasion, Cao Man reluctantly agreed to come forward.

After discussing the matter of exterminating the bandits and asking how to arrange for the Tianweng Mansion, Cao Man asked Qi Jue to take Wei Shu to rest first, while he wandered in the darkness, his emotions were difficult to settle for a long time. The ups and downs in just one or two days were compared to the previous fears. Now Wei Shu finally stood on his side, and the situation was set!

After calming down, Cao Man summoned Qi Jue and secretly ordered him to watch Wei Shu and not let Wei Shu leave without his consent!

At this point, he would not allow things to change again. Just in case, he had to wait until his position in the family was completely determined before giving Wei Shu freedom.

Then he took out the star bell to contact Miao Yi, and the planning with Miao Yi could be carried out simultaneously.

In the Governor's Mansion of the Netherworld, Miao Yi pushed away the embrace of Fei Hong's naked body, climbed out of the gentle country, dressed casually, put on a robe, and went out with his hair disheveled in the moonlight. He sat alone in the main hall. Yan Xiu appeared behind him silently at some point.

Soon, Yang Zhaoqing and Yang Qing arrived.

Miao Yi waved his hand to signal the two of them not to be polite, and sat upright and said: "Wei Shu has arrived at Xinyi Pavilion and stood on Cao Man's side."

Yang Qing nodded slightly, "I suspected this Wei Shu before, but now this Wei Shu decisively stands on Cao Man's side. It seems that Xiahou Ling has indeed been abandoned. I just don't know how much role the mysterious elder will play in it."

Miao Yi: "The blood lotus is in my hands, so I don't care about him! Now Cao Man has reached the most critical moment and cannot afford to make mistakes. He is also afraid that someone will take advantage of him at this time. Send me an order to immediately dispatch a million elite troops to the Ghost Market to provide immediate support if there is any change in Xinyi Pavilion. Another five million elite troops will be secretly dispatched to hide in Dangyin Mountain as backup! Wen Ze... The people from the Guards will be isolated immediately. Don't let them know the news. If necessary, kill them!" (To be continued.)
