Chapter 322 Cheap is not so easy to take advantage of
The attic in Pei's house that no one cared about before has become a forbidden area in Pei's house, and no one is allowed to enter easily.
However, no one had any opinions on this. Even when passing by the attic, their eyes were full of admiration and admiration.
Because everyone knows that the prosperity of Pei Mansion today comes from the owner of this attic, the Sword Master Pei Min.
“Are you really determined to go?”
Lao Zhuguo looked at Pei Xuanjing's back and asked in an inexplicable tone.
It was the same scene as more than ten years ago when Lao Zhuguo asked Pei Xuanjing to participate in the Yunzhong County Competition.
Pei Xuanjing stood on the attic, with his back to Lao Zhuguo, looking up at the distant sky, quietly watching the clouds roll and relax.
"Do you regret it?" Pei Xuanjing said in a faint voice without looking back.
Hearing these words, Lao Zhuguo couldn't help but trembled.
Compared with more than ten years ago, Lao Zhuguo not only did not look older, but seemed much younger. It seemed that the past ten years had not stopped on him.
However, at this moment, Lao Zhuguo was not as confident as he was more than ten years ago. Instead, his tone was incomprehensible, and he looked at Pei Xuanjing's back with a complicated expression.
The first time he met Pei Min, he was impressed by his extraordinary talent and knew that if he could cultivate it properly, he would definitely be able to bring glory to the Pei family in the future.
And it turned out just as he had imagined, the other party became a blockbuster and grew into the most powerful person in the world in a short period of time, benefiting the entire Pei family. It can be said that without each other, there would be no Pei family today.
But now, the other party's decision is likely to lead Pei into the abyss, but he has no ability to stop it.
Pei Xuanjing turned around, looked at Lao Zhuguo with a troubled expression, and asked calmly: "You want me to stay and ignore what happened this time. After all, no matter who wins or loses, as long as I am here, the Pei family will He must be invincible, right?"
Lao Zhuguo nodded silently: "That's right! ”
The current battle between the emperor and the empress dowager has reached a fever pitch. The battle between the two groups has been put on the table, and there is almost no room for relaxation. After all, for both parties, regardless of Whoever wins and who loses, the loser is almost certain to die, with no way to survive.
According to common sense, the Pei family has had a close relationship with the emperor over the years. When the prince had not ascended the throne, the Pei family was already in his camp. It can be said that he is a die-hard supporter of the emperor. If the emperor loses, then they must also bear the price.
But is it really so?
Actually it’s not!
Lao Zhuguo saw very clearly that even if they are now the emperor's party members, even if the battle between the two sides has reached a fevered stage, the Pei family is not just following the emperor's path with all their might. They have another choice. .
Stand on the sidelines, turning a blind eye to the fight between the two sides, waiting for the winner to be determined before making the appropriate choice.
Such an idea, if it were replaced by an ordinary force, would be the first to be hit by both sides and be destroyed first.
But this is not the case for the Pei family now. They have such opportunities and qualifications.
Everything is because of Pei Min's existence.
Because Pei Min, who is almost the strongest swordsman in the world, is in charge, no one will choose to fall out with Pei. Ten years ago, he was able to defeat the Sword Master Pei Min, who was half-stepped into the realm of gods. No one knows what state he has reached after ten years of hard training, but no one will think that the opponent has not achieved anything in the past ten years. Progress only makes him stronger.
So, as long as Pei Min nods, even if Pei chooses to sit on the sidelines this time, no matter who wins or loses in the end, Pei's choice will not be held accountable, but will be tried to win over.
This is what Lao Zhuguo thinks is the most suitable choice for Pei, so he is unwilling to let Pei Min enter Kyoto and get involved in this vortex, and also pulls Pei into it.
If Pei Xuanjing enters Kyoto now, it will definitely cause huge waves. Even if he doesn't say a word, he will be regarded as the emperor's faction and usher in the empress dowager's side to take action.
As for the Pei family behind him, he will inevitably be dragged into it and passively participate in this battle. This time, if he succeeds, it is easy to say, but if he fails, the Pei family will definitely be ruined.
"Haha." Pei Xuanjing sneered and said disdainfully: "This is what I hate the most about the aristocratic family, and what I despise the most about the aristocratic family. They will always only consider their own interests. Admittedly, this may be the most appropriate choice. , But it is also the most disgusting choice for me. "
The reason why Pei Xuanjing has no feelings for this Pei family, except for his own, is this: when there is profit to be made, they will. Swarming up. When there is no benefit, they will give it up without hesitation. This is an aristocratic family, in which there is no emotion or morality.
Oh, maybe? But compared with the benefits, it’s not worth mentioning.
At the beginning, for the benefit of the family, they spent all their experience to win over the prince, but today the situation has reversed, and they can decisively abandon the prince for the sake of their own interests.
This is something Pei Xuanjing hates.
Lao Zhuguo's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that the family would have such an image in Pei Xuanjing's eyes. He was about to speak immediately, but was blocked by Pei Xuanjing's words, and his expression changed drastically.
"You might say that my family has given me a lot of training and so on." Pei Xuanjing sneered and asked: "But this is based on you discovering my cultivation talent. What if I have no talent? , will it still be like this! "
He clearly remembers that there are many people of his own age in the Pei family, but what is the situation of those who do not have the talent for cultivation.
Maybe there won't be any bad servants bullying their masters, but the big shots in these families just watch with cold eyes and don't care at all. How could they treat Pei Xuanjing like this?
Lao Zhuguo remained silent.
As Pei Min said, if Pei Min did not have extraordinary talents, after he brought the other party back, he would only ensure that the other party had enough food and clothing, and would never receive the same treatment as before.
This is the family rule and he cannot change it.
Pei Xuanjing looked at the other party and sneered: "As for the original training, because of my existence in the past ten years, the benefits Pei has received should be repaid ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times!"< br>
Uh-huh!
Lao Zhuguo turned pale at these words and had no words to say.
"My advantage is not so easy to take advantage of." Pei Xuanjing turned around and said calmly: "Since you have enjoyed the benefits of my existence, after I make my choice, if you are affected, That’s what should be done.”
Thanks to the book friend who was bored reading the book, Taojun Taixiao for the reward.
