Chen Chong is now an abandoned son of the Zhao family. But for a long time, he was Mr. Zhao's right-hand man, and he could be called a general with Li Mubai in both literature and martial arts.
During the twenty years of working hard for the Zhao family, he had already won over a group of confidants who were only loyal to him. Including the elders who were on his side at the moment. When Fourth Master Zhao was around, he didn't dare to rebel, and even those elders who took advantage of him didn't dare to rebel with him. But now, Fourth Master Zhao has been assassinated and is seriously injured. No one knows when he will wake up and whether he will still be powerful after waking up. So he rebelled. The group of elders also became concerned and followed his lead.
It’s done. Chen Chong will become the most powerful boss in Mingzhu. And the group of elders who followed him to rebel will inevitably tear apart the earth and seal themselves as kings, and their chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.
His purpose was clear to everyone. But Chen Chong would never say it explicitly, because he knew that there were some things he could do but couldn't say. Even if it is said, there must be enough high-sounding reasons.
"My godfather was assassinated. You didn't seek revenge or investigate what happened. Instead, you all hid at home in disgrace. Why are you waiting for the old man to wake up before making a decision?" Chen Chong looked majestic and glanced around with his arms behind his back. The people standing opposite him laughed and said: "A bunch of cowards!"
Zhao Qingyun stared at Chen Chong with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Chen Chong, you are no longer a member of the Zhao family. You have no right to stand here and talk nonsense!"
"No?" Chen Chong said boldly. "I, Chen Chong, was born as a member of the Zhao family, and died as a ghost of the Zhao family. From the first day I entered the Zhao family, I have been rooted in the Zhao family for the rest of my life! Even if my godfather disowns me, it will never affect the father-son relationship between me and my godfather. If you don’t avenge your godfather, you are afraid of this and that. But I, the godson who was kicked out by his godfather, cannot just sit idly by!"
Before Mr. Xiao arrived, he heard Chen Chong's lofty remarks. I secretly admired in my heart: This old guy is obviously a martial artist. When did his eloquence become so good? Is there anyone teaching him behind the scenes? Or, after not seeing each other during this period, he secretly found himself a shrewd strategist who was no less than Li Mubai? Otherwise, with Chen Chong's brains, even Xiao Zheng would not believe that he could come up with such inflammatory words.
As soon as he said these words, many people around him were indeed moved by Chen Chong's heroic words. Their faces showed their admiration for Chen Chong. In addition, Chen Chong is the most prestigious member of the Zhao family besides Fourth Master Zhao. Now that Fourth Master Zhao is unconscious, Chen Chong's appearance is indeed reassuring and extremely shocking.
"It's a shameless talk."
Suddenly.
Shen Manjun, who came after hearing the news, snorted coldly and broke into the living room where all the forces gathered together.
The appearance of Shen Manjun broke the relationship between the three parties to a certain extent and gave Zhao Qingyun a legitimate power. At the same time, it also made many confused elders suddenly realize: Yes. Although Chen Chong is very prestigious and has made great contributions to the Zhao family's foundation, in terms of qualifications and legitimacy, how can he be compared with Fourth Master Zhao's biological daughter Shen Manjun
That's right. Shen Manjun has no experience in leading the overall situation, and has never participated in any business of the Zhao family, but as long as she is willing to stand up and carry the banner, even Chen Chong may not be qualified to object, right
To oppose is to oppose. If it goes against the grain, the name will be unfair and the words will not be consistent, and it will lose the support of the people. Disdained. By then, not to mention how many Zhao family forces will still obey his orders, the forces that are still loyal to Mr. Zhao will be able to kill him.
Unless, he has sufficient reasons to support his actions. And believable.
"Little sister. Big brother came back this time for no other reason than to avenge his godfather and find out the murderer behind the scenes."
Chen Chong can talk nonsense about Zhao Qingyun, but he can also refuse to give Li Mubai face. But in front of Shen Manjun, he had to restrain his arrogant style, whether he really felt sorry for Shen Manjun or just pretended to show it to everyone. He didn't dare to be too intense.
At this moment, Shen Manjun represents Fourth Master Zhao, the most orthodox force of the Zhao family. Sing against her and alienate everyone. This is why Xiao Zheng could not accept Shen Manjun's invitation and insisted on letting Shen Manjun carry the banner.
"Revenge? Do you know who the murderer is?" Shen Manjun asked coldly.
"Who else could it be besides Ye Shiguan?" Chen Chong said solemnly. "Everyone in Mingzhu knows that the person who wants his godfather to die the most is Ye Shiguan. Do you even need to ask me?"
Shen Manjun sneered, but was in no rush to fight back.
How could she not guess Chen Chong's thoughts? What does it mean to return to the Zhao family for no other reason than to avenge your father? This is simply an excuse to cover up his wolfish ambitions. If he gave in and allowed him to lead the Zhao family's disciples to seek revenge on Ye Shiguan, not to mention the outcome, this battle alone would be enough to severely damage the Zhao family's vitality and make matters worse. Regardless of the success or failure of this battle, Chen Chong is bound to establish absolute prestige in this battle. By then, who else in the Zhao family can restrain Chen Chong? Li Mubai? Zhao Qingyun? I'm afraid that even myself, including my father who successfully woke up, may not have the ability to turn things around.
"Even if the mastermind behind the scenes is really Ye Shiguan, it's not your turn to take revenge." Shen Manjun took two steps forward and said every word. "You seem to have forgotten that my father has already kicked you out of the house."
Shen Manjun's words were like steel needles piercing Chen Chong's heart, but at this moment, he must not affect the overall plan because of his impulse, so he couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice: "Little sister, I just said it. When I come back this time, I want nothing but to avenge my godfather. As for your godfather driving me away from the Zhao family, this means that the godfather no longer recognizes me as his godson. But it does not mean that I no longer recognize the godfather. "
"Once you are a father, you will always be a father. My godfather gave me my life, Chen Chong. Only my godfather can take it back in this life!" Chen Chong said plausibly. His eyes were filled with heroic colors. Quite provocative.
Shen Manjun saw that Chen Chong was gradually gaining the upper hand, and the eyes of the surrounding elders looking at Chen Chong clearly changed subtly. He couldn't help but groaned and said coldly: "I'm sorry. I will avenge my father myself. I won't bother you anymore."
"You?" Chen Chong said indifferently. "Little sister. It's not that the elder brother looks down on you. Do you know how much territory our Zhao family has? Do you know how many brothers our Zhao family has? And do you know how to mobilize manpower to compete with Ye Shiguan? Even if you know it, with your current prestige, the following Will your brothers obey you?"
"I, Chen Chong, swear to God that after this battle, I will never take away a brick or tile from the Zhao family. Everything will be left to Shen Manjun, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family! By then, who dares to disobey your Zhao family?" The eldest lady just can’t get along with me, Chen Chong! By then, whoever dares to embarrass you, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, I will be the first to kill him!"
Chen Chong spoke with great passion and a righteous look on his face. It seemed that as long as he could avenge Fourth Master Zhao, he would not hesitate even if his blood was spilled on the spot.
Even Shen Manjun was very angry by Chen Chong. He knew clearly that everything Chen Chong said was an excuse, but he was unable to fight back. Don't know how to turn the situation around.
"Master Chen. Do you know Ye Shiguan? Do you know how many meals Ye Shiguan eats every day and at what time he eats each meal? Do you know there is a pistol under his pillow and one under the dining table? Do you know what time he eats every day? Go to bed, what time do you want to get up?"
Xiao Zheng walked out slowly and said calmly: "You don't know, I know."
