Gift natural power at the beginning

Chapter 272 Situation

Xu's Chamber of Commerce.

Outside the house, on the corridor, extending to the entire inner mansion, and then to the outer mansion, white lanterns are hung outside the entrance hall, with the word "Fu Shou" engraved on it, in order to pave the way to the underworld and illuminate the way home.

Teams of patrolling clan guards, wearing solid armor and holding steel knives, patrolled the mansion back and forth. Although all of them looked disturbed, everything was in order.

In the dark, there are countless shadows, hidden in positions that ordinary people cannot see, watching the entire Xu Mansion.

Recently, the Xu family has been almost on full alert.

At this time, in the meeting hall, the red oak door was closed tightly.

The guardian hall, the medicine hall, the head of Xu's main family, and the clan elders all sat in attendance.

Among them, the first one on the left is Gu Deshan, the current head of the Guardian Hall, and behind him is the next confidant, Sun Xinglie.

Then the one on the right is the great pharmacist of the pharmacy, an old man with a long beard, very old, but his beard and hair are dark in color, and he does not look old. His name is Sun Shicheng.

Then there are the three elders of Xu's family, all of whom have obscure breaths and are high-ranking martial arts.

Xu Guowen, the current patriarch, sits at the top and unifies everyone.

At this time, Xu Guowen has changed a lot compared to before. His hair has turned white, and there are a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. In less than two years, he has aged nearly ten years.

However, as the head of the Xu Clan today, his figure is more majestic, his aura is more obscure, and his power is far greater than before. He is different from the elegant and easy-going a few years ago.

Sit in the hall, like a pinning needle in the sea.

"Now that the news has been confirmed, the other party is the Fengxing Thirteen Bandits in Guanshan Gorge, Linyu County. This group of bandits is becoming more and more powerful now, annexing many bandit leaders around them. They are already well-known green forest bandit leaders in Huaiping County. What can you do to deal with it? "

Xu Guowen picked up the teacup on the table, sipped it lightly, took a sip, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice.

It is impossible for the strong and masters to appear out of thin air. The stronger the strength, the more traces will be left in the world. This is the law.

The fact that the Thirteen Thirteen Thirteen Thirteen Famous Bandits grew from a small force in a county to a giant bandit comparable to a county prefect in just a few years shows that there must be someone behind it.
In this case, even if it is repelled, so what?There is no more Fengxing Thirteen Pirates, but there are Fengxing Fourteen Pirates.

Thinking of this, the meeting hall was quiet, everyone looked at their noses and noses, and their noses watched their hearts, without saying a word.

"It is true that the opponent is stronger than us. It is rumored that the leader of the bandit, Lin Qinglong, Lu Hesheng, is a master master. He once severely injured the head of Heifengzhai Dali in a battle. No matter what, we are not able to deal with it.
And since he didn't kill him at the beginning, it means he still cares about the Duanmu family's face, and there is room for maneuver in this matter. "

It was Sun Shicheng from the medicine hall who spoke, and he was stroking his dark beard while speaking.

The Duanmu family is Xu's current backer. It is a thousand-year-old family and is a well-known family. It has a good reputation in the whole Huaizhou.

"Now that things have happened, can the Patriarch tell you exactly what kind of opportunity the Second Young Master got and what great things he did to cause such a powerful enemy?" He sighed and looked up at Xu Guowen who was sitting in the first seat.

"Now it's not just at the beginning, when several caravans were wiped out, the so-called small fights, two medicine fields have been destroyed recently, two deputy hall masters of the Guardian Hall died, and the medicine hall also planted. After killing three masters of alchemy, they will destroy their clans and clans at every turn, and they must prescribe the right medicine to do things.

It can't be until now, you don't even know where the disease is? "

While speaking, he looked at Gu Deshan who was seated opposite him, as if he wanted to get a response, but Gu Deshan didn't seem to see his obvious wink, and bowed his head, not saying a word.

The same is true for Xu Guowen, who is in the first seat. There is no sadness or joy on Guozi's face, and he still drinks lightly from time to time.

Hearing this, after two breaths, he looked up seriously.

"Things have become clear. When Cheng Yuan was traveling, he encountered a chance. God refused to take it, but instead took the blame, so he had to go. This incident started because of it."

"Then why don't you hand over that chance? Virtue doesn't deserve it, and there will be disasters. Is it worth it to cause the family to be destroyed for that so-called chance?"

Hearing Xu Guowen's indifferent tone, Sun Shicheng directly said angrily in a cold voice, this is a breach of defense.

The reason is very simple. Some time ago, Shaoshan’s medicine field was destroyed, and a group of people in the stronghold died. His youngest closed disciple was among them, and this disciple was his nephew.
"Sometimes, the old man also feels that the overall situation is the best thing, and he can't do it for his own selfishness, so he ignores his family's parents, right?"

An old man with white beard and hair sitting at the back said in a deep voice.

This person is Xu Dejiu, one of the few high-ranking members of the Xu clan, who has always been friends with Sun Shicheng, and is Xu Ruolong's master.
Hearing this, Xu Guowen was a little impatient, and gently put the tea cup in his hand aside.

With a snap, the originally noisy scene was instantly silenced.

"Okay, I understand what you mean, and what you said does make sense.

In order to ensure the inheritance, starting tomorrow, the descendants of the Xu family will move into the Duanmu family, and Hall Master Sun and Elder De Jiu will be responsible for leading the team. You can choose freely what manpower you need, and just make a dossier for me at the end. "

He paused.

"As for me, together with Cheng Yuan, I will bring a group of people and stay in the Xu family to settle the matter together, and everything will subside."

The atmosphere in the chamber suddenly became more intriguing.

Xu Guowen's meaning is obvious.

On the one hand, he left seeds for the Xu family and moved into the Duanmu family. This kind of moving in is obviously a closer relationship than the current attachment. At that time, no one would dare to be an enemy. Want to struggle for Xu Guowen.

By this time, they all knew that in this situation, the opportunity that Xu Chengyuan got was not so much that he didn't want to give it, but that he couldn't give it. This is the reason for the bitter fruit of today.
"The patriarch should think carefully. Once he moves into the Duanmu clan, the name Xu clan in Ningyang may never be mentioned again, and the Xu clan can't stand any more trouble."

The person who spoke was the oldest clan elder in the hall. From the beginning until now, he had lowered his head and closed his eyes lightly. Now he raised his eyelids and spoke hesitatingly.

"I've already figured it out. Troubled times are approaching. If you want to protect yourself independently without strong strength, it's completely idiotic. Instead of holding a resounding brand, it's better to rely on the strong and keep the inheritance first.

As for tossing, how can you see Hongxia without going through wind and rain? "He paused,
"Ruolong will go with you."

At this time, no one spoke anymore, and everyone was analyzing their own pros and cons. Among them, the elders of the Xu family will not mention it for the time being. As for the foreign pharmacists such as the Guardian Hall and the Pharmacist Hall, in some respects, moving into Duanmu's house is even more important. it is good.
"So it's settled, that's it, you can go down and prepare the list personnel."

Xu Guowen picked up the teacup again to see off the guests.

Sun Shicheng, who was the most angry at first, didn't say a word at this time. He was silent for a moment, took a deep look at the man in the first seat, sighed, and left with Gu Deshan and others.

Everyone has their own feelings in their hearts, and they can't say anything.
.
And when the group left, the large screen with landscape painting behind Xu Guowen suddenly creaked, and there was movement.

Then came the sound of light footsteps.

Behind the screen, a man with a handsome face and wearing a plain white long coat stepped out.

Who is it if it's not Xu Chengyuan?
It turned out that behind the screen, he also participated in this discussion meeting that decided Xu's fate, but he didn't say a word, and no one knew about it.

"Actually, there is no need to be like this. I can announce tomorrow that I will cut off all ties with the Xu family. From then on, I will be alone, and naturally I will not be involved with the Xu family."

Xu Chengyuan sat beside Xu Guowen and said softly, with neither sadness nor joy on his face.

At this time, her face is even more beautiful, her skin is as white as jade, and the light shines, giving off a glistening white light, really like a jade person, but her temperament is colder, like a thousand years of ice, more beautiful than ordinary women.

"You're thinking too simply. If you can't find anything, they will only vent their anger on the Xu family. At that time, even the Duanmu family will lose face." Xu Guowen shook his head.

"Then I will face it alone."

"Do you know you're wrong?" Xu Guowen answered irrelevantly.

Xu Chengyuan was startled.

"Wrong? The fault is that I did not do things carefully, and I showed my feet. The fault is that I didn't put more thought into it, and my traces were exposed. The fault is that my strength is too weak." He smiled.

Xu Guowen got up, walked in front of him, and looked at him seriously.

Xu Chengyuan is not like his eldest son Xu Ruolong like him, with a Zhang Guo character face, resolute and resolute, but his appearance fits his mother, but his stubborn eyes can be said to be exactly the same as him when he was young.

"You're right, the mistake is that we are weak, the mistake is that there are mistakes, and in many cases, mistakes can only be made up with blood and life." Xu Guowen said.

"Give me time, I can break through to the Grandmaster." Xu Chengyuan opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally just said something in a low voice.

"Okay!" Xu Guowen suddenly replied in a deep voice.

Xu Chengyuan raised his head.

"There is only one chance. You and I, father and son, will take over the battle in the near future. Only then will we be qualified to speak and wait for you to become a master."

Xu Chengyuan was silent for a moment, without saying a word, just nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Xu Guowen smiled gratifiedly, even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to relax a bit, and took out a sealing letter from his cuff.

"By the way, I received a letter yesterday. It should be sent by a friend of yours. During the last period, I should explain it."

"Letter? Friend?" Xu Chengyuan's face returned to normal, he took the letter after a start, and looked down.

The letter was sealed with wax to prove that no one had opened it, and a line was written:

'Hsu Sung-won kisses'

It was for him indeed.

It's just that it's a bit strange to leave a name: Silver Bear?

He has a friend with such a weird name as Silver Bear?
'No, Silver Bear, Silver Bear, is it Lao Lin? A flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he immediately understood what was going on, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Lin Mo didn't know Xu's current situation at this time.

In late September, the autumn rain continued.

Everyday to leave.

Lin Mo walked out of the yamen, opened an oil-paper umbrella, and opened it to shelter from the rain.

He walked to the street and waved slightly.

Soon a carriage stopped.

"You can say hello wherever you go." The coachman was a young man, he never stopped smiling after getting into the car, carefully glanced at the crimson clothes on Lin Mo's body, and laughed in a low voice.

"Go to Yulin Zhai." Lin Mo said in a deep voice.

"okay!"

Hearing that the coachman nodded, it immediately confirmed the guess that Lin Mo was a big shot. You must know that Yulinzhai is the largest jade shop in Simafang, Huaiping, and a piece of jade can be used as living expenses for ordinary people for several years. expensive.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be more careful when driving the horse, trying to be smooth and smooth, and he was obviously very experienced. After a while, the carriage moved, except for the unavoidable shaking at the beginning, it was stable after that.

Lin Mo sat in the car, opened the curtains, looked at the passers-by outside the window, sighed softly, and put down the curtains.

During this period of time, he devoted himself to practicing kung fu and figuring out the prescriptions, without wasting a single bit of time, and the results were naturally very gratifying.

For example, he went to the secret stronghold of the Blue Split Whale Trading Company today to discuss the sale of the improved Xuema Pill.

But even so, he wasn't in a good mood, because as he expected, Huaiping really got into a mess.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of turmoil in various rings and neighborhoods of Huaiping, even the inner ring street is no exception.

Such as vicious murders, smuggling of prohibited goods, rape of women, robbery and murder, etc., a series of vicious incidents suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain as if agreed upon, attracting the great attention of the yamen in all streets. .

Immediately, the anger in Huaiping City disappeared a lot. At night, almost everyone was in danger. Few ordinary people dared to go out for fear of being taken captive.

What's more, outside the city of Huaiping, gangsters looted the caravans and carriages, as if they wanted to cut off the food supply in the city, so as to increase the price of goods, causing greater panic in the city.

This kind of behavior is no different from a rebellion. Almost the next day, the strongest of Zhou Sheng's army went to suppress it.

Then within half a day, the result came out, and Zhou Shengjun, who had returned from a big victory, returned.

But it seems to be a victory, but in fact it is already very dangerous if such signs appear.

'Sure enough, as I expected, there will not be many leisurely and ordinary days like now. ' Lin Mo said with emotion.

For the current plan, what he can do is to increase his strength extremely quickly, and truly control his destiny in his own hands, and this is what he has been pursuing with all his heart, and at the same time, he is constantly working hard for it.

After reading it, I stopped thinking about it, and began to ponder the pharmacopoeia of the exercises quietly.

Not long after, the carriage drove all the way without any accidents. After turning two streets, it finally arrived at its destination.

Lin Mo paid and got off the car.

This is a relatively secluded neighborhood named Guyi Street. Most of the businesses opened are jade, calligraphy and painting, etc. elegant business, so it is very quiet.

He took two steps and finally stopped in front of a shop named 'Yulin Zhai'.

Its decoration is very elegant and quiet. The plaque is carved from stone and wood.

Walking into the store, there are already several customers in the store, all of them are dressed in luxurious clothes, and it can be seen that they are wealthy.

The shopkeeper, who was greeting the big customer, saw Lin Mo walk in, his expression changed immediately, he pleaded guilty, and went straight to greet him.
