Zhuge Yunzhen frowned. Originally, this was a family matter in his own territory. He didn't want outsiders to know about it and get involved. But Luo Dan had already asked about it. It wouldn't be good for him to be secretive. He could just be a private person. Let’s talk about interesting things.
“A week ago, when the opponent’s lord’s son Sikong Tong came to my city for training, he suddenly disappeared mysteriously, so he asked me to hand him over, but I didn’t know it. I sent people to check the whole city. However, nothing was found, and no trace was left. "
"The other party was furious and issued a notice that if they did not hand over the people within three days, it would be regarded as a declaration of war, and it would be tomorrow. It’s the last day. I’ve checked everyone and every place in the city, and it’s true that there is no Sikong Zong. Anyway, I’m baffled.”
Originally, the relationship between the two territories was harmonious, and it was a good thing to experience and communicate with each other. , but something like this suddenly happened, and a storm was about to come. The other lord Sikong Linglei was a man of his word, and he would definitely start a war if he said it would.
Sikong Zong himself can’t hand it over. No matter how many times he searches the city, the result remains the same, so he can only prepare for war. In fact, the territorial power of both sides is evenly matched. If a fight breaks out, both sides will lose. Can't get good fruit to eat.
Zhuge Yi let out a long sigh and expressed his emotion: "Actually, I have always suspected that the reason used by Sikong Linglei was just a cover. The other party had been eyeing us covetously, and they just planned this and found a reason to attack."
The reason why he couldn’t be found in the city was that Zhuge Yi thought that maybe the other party had left long ago and even returned to Sikong Linglei safely. It was just that Sikong Linglei deliberately used this incident to accuse him in an attempt to accuse him. The territory is subverted.
"No, I know a little bit about Sikong Linglei's character. Although he does things unscrupulously, he is at least aboveboard, and even if he wants to find a reason, he won't make fun of his own son and just find someone. People from other first-class sects are better.”
Zhuge Yunzhen shook his head. It must be true that Sikong Linglei's son disappeared, and if he wanted to leave the city quietly, he would definitely leave traces. He wouldn't have found nothing even after checking it. He had a vague idea in his heart. It is guessed that something unexpected happened to the other party's son.
And it may be that it was planned by people with ulterior motives in the city in the past, in order to cause a fight between the two major lords, but there were too many family forces in the city, and Zhuge Yun was also Zhen doubted that there was no candidate.
Luo Dan listened with great interest and suddenly smiled playfully: "Could it be Nangong Er? Just like the evil plot against me this time, it was only my strength that prevented him from being killed. However, Sikong Zong was different. He had probably been destroyed. .”
< br> "Don't talk nonsense. Our Nangong family has always been loyal to the lord. How could we murder the other lord's son to let the territory take the blame? Don't think that just because the lord gives you three points of thin noodles, you can act recklessly here. Our Nangong family will never accept false accusations. .”
Hearing this, the head of the Nangong family exploded, and retorted angrily: "Lord, you must not believe that Luo Dan is here to commit crimes. You have always seen our character for so many years. It is possible for any family in the city. But it’s definitely not us.”
"Of course I can trust you." The lord smiled lightly and told the head of the Nangong family not to worry. After all, Luo Dan just said it casually. After all, the Nangong family is still one of his confidants, and they have nothing to gain from letting him suffer disaster. .
On the other hand, Zhuge Yi is different. He does not believe in the Nangong family blankly. Instead, he doubts because of Luo Dan's casual mention. Is it exactly what Luo Dan said? Otherwise, he will not be able to figure out what is happening in the city. Which family would dare to do this secretly?
Over the years, the Nangong family has become very swollen. They have been doing random things because of the love of the lord. They even tolerated it more and secretly vowed to investigate. If it is really what the Nangong family did, they will wait for revenge!
If the culprit is found, not only can a war between the two lords be avoided, but the lives of the two leading people will not be ruined. Thinking of this, Zhuge Yi felt that he could not delay, so he bowed his hand to the lord and said that he was sleepy. Leave first.
The lord just waved his hand. After Zhuge Yi retreated, he rushed to the place of execution as soon as possible. Nangong Er was abolished at this time and should not have left the lord's mansion. If he went there to interrogate him Maybe something will be gained.
At this time, Nangong Er was lying on the ground, his eyes blank and already desperate. After his cultivation was abolished, he knew that his life was over. From now on, he could only become an ordinary person. Even if his family and father were powerful, he could not You can't let yourself be cool all the time.
The Nangong family can protect themselves, but what about the descendants of the same generation in the family? They will definitely look down on themselves, and even look covetously at the position of the young master of their family. The elders will not let a useless person succeed as the head of the family. Once they are no longer the head of the family, even if their father can always protect them, the day will come when his father will leave.
Nangong Er suddenly burst into laughter, his smile full of madness: "It's my fault. I don't regret that I have been secretly killing people and causing trouble for so many years. I only regret that I am weak and I regret provoking people I shouldn't. How great would it be if we could do it again? ”
< br>"One wrong step and one wrong step, but now you have a chance to make up for your mistakes. The lord has found out that Sikong Zong's disappearance is related to you, but he doesn't plan to make it public for the sake of face. Let me investigate first. I hope you can be honest. A little."
Zhuge Yi walked in with a faint smile: "Although you are just a useless person, you can think about your father who is now the head of the family. Where did Sikong Zong hide? Telling it is a great achievement, which can offset your previous mistakes. ”
"I don't know." Nangong Er raised his head and glanced at Zhuge Yi, then shook his head, and then turned around, not wanting to continue talking to the other party, but Zhuge Yi didn't want to give up, after all, he Suspicions have already been cast on him.
“Now that the matter has come to this point, weigh the pros and cons for yourself. The reason why the lord wants to abandon your cultivation is not because you have offended Luo Dan, but because Sikong Zong is related to you. This is for your father. A lesson, the next step is to eliminate him.”
Zhuge Yi sat down and calmly made himself a cup of tea: "The lord even suspected that you were ordered by your father. If nothing can be found out, the entire Nangong family can only be treated as the murderer. . ”
“No need to fool people here, I am definitely innocent, I am. I stole a lot of spiritual stones secretly, but I definitely don’t dare to attack Sikong Zong. Are you here to threaten me and confess? I will definitely not be the scapegoat as you want.”
Nangong Er. He smiled bitterly, but with great momentum: "I am a useless person now, don't talk to me about the interests of the Nangong family, and I have the slightest connection? If you don't accept it, just kill me with a knife. After all, my life will be miserable."
"It's true that your cultivation is completely useless, but don't forget that the lord is a quasi-holy. , before coming here, the lord has promised me that if you can make up for your mistakes, the lord can restore your cultivation, and even I will improve your qualifications so that you can reach a higher level." Zhuge Yi was afraid that Nangong'er would not believe him, so he directly promised: "If there is a lie, I, Zhuge Yi, will suffer karmic retaliation. I am also a half-step Holy See. The cause and effect is too great to lie here.”
Nangong Er was moved, but still shook his head, saying that he didn't know everything, no matter how Nangong Er asked.
Zhuge Yi frowned. He had already said this. If the other party really didn't have such a strong endurance, could he really be wrong in his suspicion?
"Think it over for yourself. This time it's just me asking. If the lord comes, he won't have such a good temper!"
Zhuge Yi waved his hand and left, Nangong Er fell into silence. It was already extremely painful for him to have his cultivation level abolished, and what bad luck was coming? Suddenly he went back to a few days ago. He had indeed killed a person, and that person's identity was Sikong Xing.
He has never told anyone about this matter, because once he tells it, he will be doomed. Even if he was interrogated by Zhuge Yi just now, it will be the same. In order to save his life, he must not say a word, but he doesn't understand why. Doubt yourself?
Did the lord already know, or was Zhuge Yi deceiving him? Nangong Er couldn't figure it out, and he was really moved by the other party's suggestion that the lord could restore his cultivation. It would be better to die if his cultivation was abolished. Only with cultivation can he continue to be handsome.
After a while, the head of the Nangong family also came: "Son, come home with me. Even if you can only be an ordinary person for the rest of your life, your father will ensure that you are safe and sound. After all, I am still the head of the family, and I am still the head of the family. The name is half a step into the Holy See."
Nangonger left without saying a word and left with his father. The head of the Nangong family also knew in his heart that even the lord did not dare to offend Luo Dan, and I was afraid that he would not be able to avenge his child in this life. He only hoped that Nangong Er could be safe and sound for the rest of his life.
As soon as he returned to the family, the elders and a large group of young peers gathered around and expressed concern and greetings to Zhuge Yi. This made Nangong Er, who had been anxious, breathe a sigh of relief. At least his cultivation level was abolished. You will not be ostracized when you return to the family.
Faced with everyone's inquiries, the head of the Nangong family didn't want to say anything at first. He knew that the matter couldn't be hidden, so it would be better to make it clear here.
"Nangong Erxiu was abolished, and it was ordered by the lord himself. Fortunately, everything is over, and everyone can relax."
The head of the Nangong family sighed and looked at everyone: "Remember to keep a low profile in the future. , if you meet someone named Luo Dan, you must take a detour. We will offend the other party’s strength and power. I'm sorry, even the lord is always polite in front of the other party."
"Young master, your cultivation is useless?" Everyone exclaimed, "wasted" and "lost" are two different things. The concept is that you can practice again if you lose your cultivation. The Nangong family has a lot of cultivation resources, which can allow Nangong Er to continue to become stronger in a short period of time.
However, it will be different after it is disabled. The Dantian and meridians have been broken. I am afraid that I will not be able to embark on the path of cultivation in this life. In addition to the shock, there is also a ripple in the hearts of the young children. The young master of the Nangong family Could it be an ordinary person?
Many people had a trace of passion in their eyes. The reason why they were so respectful to Nangong Er before was because he was the future head of the family and had outstanding talents, so other people of his generation had to treat him with respect, but now they no longer Same.
Now that Nangong Er's cultivation has been abolished, it will be difficult to become a member of the family in the future. It is estimated that no one in the family except the head of the family is willing to let Nangong Er take over and let the useless person be the head of the family. This will lead to the destruction of the entire Nangong family.
The head of the family must be the person with the strongest cultivation. Even if the head of the Nangong family can use force to stop everyone from acting rashly, the head of the Nangong family will get old one day, so we must consider replacing someone as the young master. The Nangong family Every youngster has hope.
Originally Nangong Er was moved, but after hearing the whispers of many people, the mood that had just eased suddenly darkened again. As expected, these young peers were all staring at his position as Young Master. He is really an abandoned son.
"I know what you have in mind. I advise you to put it aside. As long as I am the head of the Nangong family for one day, I will not let you succeed. Although Nangong Er has lost all his cultivation, who can He can't shake his position as young master."
The head of the Nangong family looked around and scolded, feeling vaguely angry in his heart. It had not been ten minutes since he came back with Nangong Er. These people were already thinking about being the young master, which really made him angry. Coming from the same place, you don’t have any sympathy for Nangong Er?
An elder in the family frowned and stood up: "Master, calm down. It is a fact that Nangong Erxiu was deposed. I hope you will not only stand from the perspective of a father, but also think about the Nangong family and yourself. The responsibility of being the head of the family."
"Our elders unanimously decided to depose Nangong Er as the young master first. If one day he becomes stronger, it will be okay. When I come back, the position of young master is just a title, there is no need to hold it forever, not to mention it is not suitable for both the situation and the reason."
Other elders also spoke out together. Although the family leader has great prestige, But they elders also have a lot of decision-making power. It is understandable that these young peers want to be young masters. It is wrong for the head of the Nangong family to yell like this and even have a hint of threat.
The head of the Nangong family was furious and said seriously: "Can you please slow down for a moment? Nangong Er's cultivation has just been abolished. Is it appropriate to discuss these things at this time? Can't we wait? I will try my best. What if I can restore my qualifications and embark on the path of spiritual practice again? ”
"Do you think it is possible?" The elders looked firmly: "Time cannot be delayed. Once you hesitate, the younger generations of the family will definitely fight and bleed. It is better to decide earlier, or you can tell a time and let Everyone can feel at ease.”
"Now the relationship between the two major lords is ready. After this matter is resolved, how about I immediately establish a new young master? If the Nangong family continues to have conflicts and affects the layout of the lords, none of you can "I can afford it."
The head of the Nangong family looked at it with a faint look. All the elders weighed it and nodded. It is true that the war will put this matter aside. Anyway, the head of the family has already stated his position and must change it in the future. Set up another person, otherwise it will be the fault of the head of the family. (End of this chapter)
