Xiahou Yuanming said angrily: "You are such a pig brain, you are not as useful as a son! Jian'er, tell your father about the powerful relationship!"
"Yes, grandpa!"
A young man behind Xiahoucheng said in a worried voice: "Although this jade tablet fell from the sky, but it landed in the Boneyard, it should belong to the Boneyard. The Boneyard has always been called the tomb of the powerful , how many good things have been unearthed from it over countless years. Anyone who enters it must have a permit issued by the Blood God Palace, and at the same time stipulates that all income must be sold to the Blood God Palace first. The monument was brought out secretly by the second uncle, if people from the Blood God Palace find out, our Xiahou family will be in trouble!"
Another man, Xia Houye, said bitterly: "I was also greedy for a while. I didn't expect it to be a ninth-level profound weapon. If I knew it would be like this, I would have given it directly to the Blood God Palace, and there would be no such thing as now."
"Why?"
Xiahoucheng snorted and said, "The Blood God Palace is only able to grow thanks to the fatness of the Bone Land, and the Bone Land belongs to the entire Eastern Region. Why do they set up rules and regulations for the Blood God Palace? It's not pleasing to the eye!"
"You pighead!"
Xiahou Yuanming was so angry that he said angrily: "Why did I give birth to you pig head! Blood God Palace guards the place where the bones are buried, and it was appointed by Red Moon City at the Eastern Region Alliance Conference! Look at them! If you are not pleasing to the eye, you can only curse a few words, they will kill you in minutes if they see you as not pleasing to the eye!"
Xia Houye said: "Brother, the only way now is to wait for Mr. Sun Renhao of Wanbaolou to buy it secretly. There will be no second chamber of commerce in Fucheng City who would dare to take this business. And if Wanbaolou inherited it from us Resources will be of great help to future development, as long as we can survive today, this jade tablet is no longer in our hands, and even if the Blood God Palace finds something, there is no evidence to do anything to us."
"Hmph, I really don't know what you guys think. It's a good ninth-level profound weapon. Daddy, you dream of having one, but now you want to dispose of it secretly! I thought that after Daddy got it, he would Retreat and refine, become the second strong man in Fufeng City to possess a ninth-order profound weapon, and compete with the ancestors!"
Xiahoucheng always thinks that everyone thinks too much, is too allergic, and it is completely unnecessary.
Xiahou Yuanming snorted: "I want the ninth-order profound weapon to be true, but it can't be at the price of the family's fate! After dealing with this thing, the benefits obtained from Wanbaolou, plus some savings in the family, can also Enough to go to Huashenhai to buy one! Cheng'er, you don't need to appear at the banquet tonight, and you must guard this place with your masters, and you must not let this jade tablet have any accidents!"
There seemed to be a strong restriction on the jade tablet, and Xiahou Yuanming was very annoyed that he couldn't collect the storage ring, so he had to put it in the treasury of the mansion, and let the most powerful son guard it.
"Don't worry, Dad. The person is here!"
Xiahoucheng replied in a deep voice, although his mansion is not deep, he is the second master of the Xiahou family, Wu Zun's peak cultivation. In the entire Fufeng City, no one can beat him more than one hand.
"Well, I'm more at ease with you watching over me. You two, follow me to the banquet."
After Xiahou Yuanming finished speaking, he turned around and left with Xiahou Jian and Xiahouye. Xiahoucheng carefully inspected the surroundings of the lower treasury, and put on layers of prohibition methods. Then a large number of masters were deployed around, lurking everywhere. He himself sat cross-legged in front of the treasury, closed his eyes and practiced.
Xiahou Yuanming had just arrived at the front banquet hall when a housekeeper hurriedly ran up through the crowd.
Xiahou Yuanming frowned and said: "Why are you so flustered, don't lose your dignity in front of the guests!"
The butler looked extremely anxious, and directly stepped forward to whisper a few words in his ear, Xiahou Yuanming's complexion suddenly changed, extremely ugly.
Xiahouye and Xiahoujian didn't understand, so they hurriedly said, "Old man, what's the matter?"
Xiahou Yuanming's face was ashen, and he said solemnly: "Just now, there was a message from Wanbaolou that something happened to the business alliance. Mr. Sun Renhao has already started the teleportation array to go to the headquarters of Wanbaolou."
"What? So what should I do?"
Xia Houye said in surprise: "I don't know when I will be able to return after this trip. The business alliance is doing well, and if there is something that needs to recall his branch manager. Could it be that he suddenly repented and deliberately found an excuse?"
Xiahou Yuanming shook his head and said: "I know Sun Renhao, he is definitely not the kind of person who backtracks on what he says. Besides, with the strength of their Wanbao Building, it is not difficult to eat a ninth-order profound weapon. It must be something really wrong. , This is really troublesome. The jade tablet is in our hands, and we don’t know how long we can keep it secret.”
He was worrying when he heard a long laugh from outside, sarcastically saying: "Brother Yuanming, congratulations for taking a concubine who is younger than your grandson!"
Xia Houyuan's complexion changed, a trace of evil flashed in his eyes, he forced a smile to greet him, and said coldly: "It turns out to be brother Huanshui, I heard that you have a son this year, who is two years younger than your great-grandson, two years younger than your great-grandson. The little friends can play happily together, and we are happy together."
A ray of light flashed outside the door, and two guards of Xiahou's family fell directly into the courtyard before they had time to stop them. There were more than ten people.
Xiahou Yuanming was startled, and smiled calmly, "Brother Le Ming is here too, please come inside, please come inside!"
The two were the patriarchs Zu Huanshui and eldest grandson Leming of the other two major powers in Fufeng City, and they came hand in hand. Their expressions were not so festive, which was very different from the atmosphere around them.
Changsun Leming said indifferently: "Brother Yuanming, although we also came to drink and congratulate this time, the main purpose is not to drink."
"Oh? Did those two come to ask me to play chess and drink tea? It's a pity that today is the day of a certain double happiness, so I don't have time to accompany you."
Xiahou Yuanming remained calm and made an unwelcome gesture, meaning to see off the guests directly.
Zu Huanshui sneered and said, "Brother Yuanming, don't pretend any more! Be honest and hand over your things. I don't want that sixteen-year-old sister-in-law to become a widow before her bridal chamber!"
Xiahou Yuanming was furious, and shouted: "Zu Huanshui, today is a certain double happiness day, your mouth is too cheap!"
Zu Huanshui sarcastically said: "I won't play tricks with you either, just hand over the ninth-order profound weapon I got from the Boneyard, then we'll just drink a few sips of wine with you today, otherwise your banquet will really be a waste of time." It can't be done."
"Okay, so it turns out that you guys joined forces to find fault!"
Xiahou Yuanming's aura rose, Emperor Wu's coercion dissipated, and the expressions of the people around him changed drastically, and they tried their best to back away.
Changsun Leming said coldly: "Brother Yuanming, I advise you to be smarter. Just pretending to be stupid won't work. If we didn't have solid evidence, we wouldn't have come here so boldly."
Xiahou Yuanming's heart moved, and he said coldly: "Okay, I want to see your so-called evidence, bring it!"
Zu Huanshui sneered and said, "Xiahoujian, come out."
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked, their faces full of disbelief.
Xiahou Yuanming and Xiahouye also looked shocked, watching Xiahoujian come out of the crowd in a daze, and stood in front of Zu Huanshui with a smile.
"You... Jian'er... what... what's going on here?"
Xiahou Yuanming was completely dumbfounded at this moment, he just felt his heart sinking continuously, he couldn't understand Xiahou Jian's betrayal at all, he couldn't figure it out at all.
Xia Houjian smiled coldly and said, "What's going on? You have to ask yourself!"
"Jian'er, have you been coerced by them?" Xia Houye also asked incredulously.
"Coercion? No one is coercing me!"
Xia Houjian said coldly: "I asked them to cooperate with all of this, and it was all my own wish!"
Everyone in Xiahou's family was stunned. As the most important eldest grandson in the family, Xiahou Jian has a limitless future, and there is no possibility of betrayal at all.
Xia Houye said angrily: "You little bastard! Why? Give second uncle a reason!"
"reason?"
Xiahou Jian pointed at Xiahou Yuanming, and said coldly: "The reason is—you have lived too long! You are already a hundred years old and you are still occupying the position of patriarch, and you are now Emperor Wu, at least you can go on again." Live for a hundred years! A hundred years! I see what you mean, you won’t give up your position until you die, so when will it be my turn?!”
Xia Houjian became more and more excited as he spoke, and he seemed to growl a little, roaring: "And my father is already at the peak of Wu Zun, breaking through to Emperor Wu is almost just around the corner! When you, an old immortal, die in a hundred years, my father will be the next one!" A hundred-year patriarch, wouldn’t it be two hundred years later when it’s my turn? My God! Two hundred years, can I live that long?! Even if I break through to Emperor Wu by luck, if I really live two hundred years, I’ll still be dying What's the point of being the patriarch? Old man, have you ever thought about my feelings!"
Xiahou Yuanming was completely stunned in shock. Looking at the sneer at the corner of Xiahoujian's mouth, he finally accepted this reality. His heart was cold and cold, but he couldn't get angry, he had to calm down. If this matter becomes serious and the Blood God Palace finds out, Xiahou's family will be in danger.
"Haha, well said!"
Zu Huanshui laughed and said: "Brother Yuanming, you have such a talented junior, you should have abdicated a long time ago, and you have dominated the position of patriarch by yourself, completely disregarding other people's feelings, you finally tasted the bad results today, haha !"
Xiahou Yuanming looked at his grandson desperately, and said sadly: "Even if I die, or Cheng'er dies, is it your turn to be the head of the family? Do you think these two tigers and wolves will help you to the top? Their ambition is to devour our Xiahou family!"
Zu Huanshui laughed and said: "Haha, who said that, we admire you the most for being young, and we will definitely cultivate you well in the future. Tell me about the jade tablet now, and let this old man deny it. "
Xia Houjian nodded and said: "My second uncle brought the jade stele from the Boneyard, and it is now hidden in the treasury of Xia Hou's family. The old man wants to hand it over to Sun Renhao in Wanbaolou to take it away tonight, but it is a pity that Sun Renhao came here temporarily It's gone."
