Seeing his son give him a thumbs up, Patriarch Cheng glared."
What are you doing?""
Dad, you're such an understanding person.It's the first time I've seen you so sober since I was a child, and I've seen the people of the Eight Great Clans so thoroughly. ”"Get out!
Rebel, see if I go home and don't kill you. ”Elder Cheng blushed, and it felt good to be praised by his son.It's just that in front of the patriarch and Si Mingtang, the old face is a little unbearable.Si Mingtang poured wine for Cheng Lan and said, "Brother Lan, I have a reluctant request for my brother, I hope you can help." ”Cheng Lan drank all the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "Brother Mingtang, please speak, my brother will do his best to help." ”Si Mingtang sighed lightly, thought for a while, and said: "I have not been in charge of the Si clan for a long time, and my father is still sick, and my second uncle and cousin are idle clouds and wild cranes as recluses.Although the Si clan has some family background, it is not enough to compete with the four major clans of Mo, Li, Wu, and Yan.I decided to stay in the dark and not fight with others.Now that Feng Xiannu has sent back the spies from various provinces, she is afraid that it will anger Patriarch Mo and the others, and it will be difficult to be alone. ”Cheng Lan's jaw was headed, today's trouble really forced the Cheng family, the Si family and the Dian family to fall apart from the four major clans.He was reflecting on whether he had done too recklessly and had not taken these worries into account.Si Mingtang made a gesture and said, "Please ask Brother Lan to show Feng Xiannu and Zhuge Zibo on my behalf that the Si clan and I will not participate in any matter or decision of the Eight Great Clans."
I am not yet in a position to protect them, but I can only restrain my people from participating, hoping that they will understand my suffering. ”Cheng Lan stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Brother Mingtang."
My sister and uncle worship the righteousness of Brother Xie Mingtang.Brother Mingtang, don't worry, they won't ignore you and the Si clan. ”Si Mingtang smiled faintly, and did not pin the hopes of himself and his family on others.Cheng Lan turned around and saluted Patriarch Cheng and Patriarch Dian, and said, "Dad, Uncle Dianshi, you are also like Brother Mingtang to stay out of the matter and keep your eyes on the matter.Although the eight great clans are in the same spirit, they do evil deeds, and you are not with them. ”Patriarch Cheng was silent for a moment and sighed, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”The patriarch said bluntly: "I will never be with them.Of course, they don't look down on me.Ha ha!
”"Uncle Dianshi, you are really ......
Let's be honest. ”Cheng Lan couldn't help but laugh, and found that the patriarch was very interesting.He took the jug and filled it for the patriarch and said, "Come!
Uncle Dianshi, little nephew respects you. ”"Okay."
The patriarch likes the rivers and lakes the most, especially Cheng Lan's chivalrous style is exactly what he wants.Despite his age, he felt like a friend of the same generation.Si Mingtang also sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals and toasted with Patriarch Cheng.Just as the four of them were pushing the cups and changing the lamps, there was a sudden knock on the door of the elegant room, and the sliding door was pushed open from the outside, which made the four people who were drunk stunned and turned their heads to look at the door."
Huh?
What are you doing here?
”Patriarch Dian stood up and brought a stool to Patriarch Yan.Patriarch Yan closed the door and walked over with a cold face, bowing to Patriarch Cheng: "Brother Cheng." ”At this point, the Cheng patriarch is the oldest, the Dian patriarch is the same age as the Yan patriarch, and the Si patriarch and Cheng Lan are the younger generations.Si Mingtang and Cheng Lan bowed respectfully.The patriarch pulled the patriarch Yan to sit beside him, poured him a glass of wine, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Didn't you join in the fun?
”Patriarch Yan snorted coldly, drank all a glass of wine, and said sullenly: "You guys are gone, leaving me to watch them hypocritically."
Hum!
I came to you with disgust. ”Patriarch Cheng smiled without saying a word, looked at the two juniors standing opposite, and waved his hand to them.Si Mingtang and Cheng Lan sat down silently, and Cheng Lan was also less naughty just now.Patriarch Yan looked at Cheng Lan, who was dressed in red, frowned and said unhappily: "A man is really ...... all day long" "I think it's good-looking." ”Cheng Lan looked down at his red clothes and said arrogantly: "Walking in the rivers and lakes must have your own characteristics, so that people can know who I am without seeing their faces and only hearing their names, and they seem to have my appearance in front of them." ”Si Mingtang chuckled and said, "There are many people in red clothes in the rivers and lakes, how do you know that they think it's you?"
”Cheng Lan said arrogantly: "Fight."
Anyone who didn't know me was punched, and those who dared to resist were beaten harder.I made sure that when they heard my name, they would immediately cry and call their mother. ”Patriarch Cheng laughed angrily at his son's brazen approach, pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded: "Rebel, aren't you afraid of attacking him in groups?"
”Cheng Lan said indifferently: "Dad, I'm not a fool, won't I run away if I can't beat me?"
Besides, I make friends all over the world, and I am not afraid of pulling out a hero who is a martial arts hero. ”Patriarch Cheng shook his head helplessly and scolded: "Rebel, you want to be angry with me before you stop." ”Cheng Lan smiled, toasted with Si Mingtang, and said, "Compared with the rivers and lakes, the talents of our eight major clans are the most sinister and unguardable.Uncle Yan Shi is here, I am afraid that Patriarch Mo has received a secret report from the spies, and he will gather the Li clan, the Wu clan and the Yan clan to conspire before sunset. ”The patriarch stopped drinking, and asked in amazement, "What is the conspiracy?"
”"See, us."
Si Mingtang was stunned, and his heart was desolate."
Haha, if they dare to think crookedly, I will dare to let them suffer the consequences."
Cheng Lan spoke arrogantly, got up and came behind Patriarch Cheng, put his hand lightly on his father's shoulder, and said, "Since we are not with them, it is better for us to be together."
It's fair to have four against four. ”"Gather the power of our four clans, maybe we can fight with the Mo clan."
Si Mingtang sighed, thinking about his own weakness, thinking about the weakness of the three clans of Liangcheng, Dian, and Yan, and he couldn't resist the menacing momentum of the Mo, Li, Wu, and Yan clans.Cheng Lan looked up at the roof and thought carefully, it was a good strategy for him to come back this time to split the eight major clans.It's just that he wants to leave, how can he keep the four clans after that?"
Cheng Gongzi, I am the shopkeeper of Wuweiju."
The voice of the old shopkeeper suddenly sounded outside the door, and Cheng Lan, who was immersed in thoughts, shook his wit and turned to open the door.The kind-faced old shopkeeper brought a plate of cakes and said with a smile: "Cheng Gongzi, a friend from afar has been ordered to see you, and he is in the elegant room next to him." ”Cheng Lan was stunned, and saw that the cake on the plate was actually a tea cake that Xia Caizhen had eaten, and the corners of his lips were shallowly hooked."
Let's get in."
He staggered to invite the old shopkeeper in, looked back and said to Patriarch Cheng, Patriarch Dian, and Patriarch Si: "I'm sorry, a friend from the capital is visiting, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”Patriarch Cheng waved his hand impatiently, thinking about how to confront the Mo Clan, the Li Clan, the Wu Clan, and the Yan Clan.The old shopkeeper put down the tea cakes, saluted the three and quietly withdrew.Then he slowly walked to the adjacent private room, pushed open the sliding door, and saw two teenagers sitting at the table eating tea cakes, one in red and the other in white.Cheng Lan saw the old shopkeeper come in, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the old shopkeeper is Yanxia Lingye's person, disrespectful!"
Disrespectful!
”The old shopkeeper smiled kindly and stood silently by the door.Cheng Lan poured a cup of hot tea to quench his thirst, looked at the white-clothed young man sitting in the same seat, and said with disgust: "Ye Wutong, are you locked up in the pharmacy by your uncle to memorize medical books again?"
”Ye Wutong put down half of the tea cake and said, "How can the uncle have the kung fu to pay attention to me, he went to visit the Northwest Hou Mansion, and I don't know when he will come back." ”Suddenly thinking of the news he heard in Qishan Town, he asked, "Cheng Lan, do you know who the mysterious owner of the Gu Mansion is?"
”Cheng Lan pretended not to know and teased: "Ye Wutong, where are you looking for rumored news to show off?"
I don't believe you. ”Ye Wutong said contemptuously: "Believe it or not, I dare to use the head of Xiang Shang's head to guarantee that the news this time is true." ”Cheng Lan: "Oh?
”With a bang, he grabbed a piece of tea cake and ate it.() Glory to the end
