Tang Qiye shook his folding fan and looked at Meng Qi with a half-smile: I say, waiter, the position of the head of the family is very important. We have to find six sects to test blood and find other aristocratic families to testify, so that we can confirm your identity. You can't just hand over the power of your family to others casually. This is not to doubt you, but a necessary formality.
Because the six gates represent the imperial power, it is inevitable to have one's own position when identifying bloodline, so it is necessary to find three neutral families to supervise the verification to prevent an expert who is proficient in disguise and transformation from pretending to be the legitimate son of the family.
Since the identification of bloodline requires preparation in advance and applying for strange people or materials from the six-door branch of Huanzhou, it can only be carried out in two days at the earliest. This is an honest excuse for delay.
Of course, it is not compulsory to identify the bloodline. It will only be done if the family has the power to doubt whether the disciple is genuine or not.
No wonder Tang Erye and Tang Qiye didn't get too entangled. It turned out that they went directly to the final step. If it was fake, it would be best. If it was true, there would be enough time to do a lot of things in these two days. Meng Qi thought, He nodded slightly: It doesn't matter, my nephew is not in a hurry, he can still wait for two or three days.
Anyway, it won’t be any of your business after two or three days.
Seeing that he was determined and confident, Tang Erye and Tang Qiye's expressions changed slightly, then normalized, and they nodded in agreement. Only Tang Mingyue muttered: You suspect that the second brother is a fake, I can also suspect that you are a fake, but not There's no way to fake it at home
Regarding her complaints, Mr. Tang Er and Mr. Tang Qi turned a deaf ear and did not change their tone at all.
Meng Qi maintained a strong and indifferent attitude and asked hoarsely: Where is Grandpa Su
Second Master Tang replied slightly awkwardly: Uncle Shu was bewitched by Lao Wu and participated in the assassination of the leader of the Huanhua Sword Sect and his relatives. He had escaped long ago and is missing.
Treat me like a child, Meng Qi snorted inwardly. Seeing how they all defected to the Wang family, saying that they didn't know about Tang Laowu and Tang Shu in advance would only make people laugh.
Meng Qi said calmly: Even the second uncle doesn't know. The fifth uncle and Grandpa Shu ignore the family and act wantonly. A worthy death.
Tang Shu is not dead yet. Tang Erye and Tang Qiye looked at each other. However, this kind of thing can be done or not said. Once it is said out, the anger of the Huanhua Sword Sect needs to be calmed down in the future, so as not to be pulled out as the scapegoat when the fish is dead and the net is broken. I'm waiting for someone.
Meng Qi didn't wait for the two of them to speak. Zi Gu Zi said: Second uncle, seventh uncle. Although I have to wait until my bloodline is identified before I can take over the reins of my family, you won't stop me from visiting my grandfather and paying homage to my ancestors, right
Humph, it sounds like you will be the head of the family in two or three days. Compared with Tang Erye, Tang Qiye's palace is not so deep, and his expression slightly reveals his inner thoughts.
Of course, nephew Jing, you can turn back your prodigal son and understand filial piety. It is the blessing of our Tang family. Mr. Tang nodded slightly, as if he was praising or mocking.
In an aristocratic family, the first two things a person should do when he returns from a long journey are to visit his elders and go to the ancestral hall to worship. Master Tang Er and Master Tang Qi don't think there is any problem.
Second brother, I will go with you. Tang Mingyue wanted to seize the time to tell her second brother about the situation at home.
Meng Qi nodded lightly. Walk to Mr. Tang's room with Tang Mingyue.
Mingyue, go and summon the clan members who are currently at home, except those who serve as guards, to come to the ancestral hall. Just as he was about to reach the door of Mr. Tang's room, Meng Qi suddenly spoke.
Tang Mingyue was just finishing introducing the undercurrents at home when she suddenly heard this order. I was a little dazed for a moment.
Meng Qi said to her in a gentle manner: This matter is strange and must be cut quickly.
Bottom line, the sooner you mix things up, the better.
Ah Tang Mingyue stared at her big black and white eyes, full of doubts.
Seeing her confusion, Meng Qi whispered: The second uncle, the fifth uncle, and the seventh uncle all defected to the Wang family and cooperated sincerely, but there can only be one head of the family. What on earth were they tempted by
If you really want to be the head of the family, you won't be able to join the same force as your competitors, and you will cooperate quite a lot and not hold back.
It was from the fact that none of them used the power of the Huanhua Sword Sect to compete for the position of the head of the family that Meng Qi smelled the conspiracy behind the matter.
Tang Mingyue's expression became solemn: Yes, the second uncle, the fifth uncle, and the seventh uncle all wish each other to die. Second brother, I will go and gather the clan members right away.
Mr. Tang has been in charge of the Tang family for decades, and the power of the eldest son has been deeply rooted. Even though Mr. Tang frequently changed his stewards and guards during this period, and wooed elders and guest officials, he could not completely weaken the eldest son in a short period of time. Meng Qi was the Knowing this, Tang Mingyue informed all the clan members to go to the ancestral hall.
Watching Tang Mingyue leave quickly, Meng Qi took a deep breath, turned around and opened the door, and a strong scent of sandalwood hit his face.
The room was large, the windows were all sealed, it was gloomy and dark, the air was dull due to the lack of circulation, and the smell of medicinal sandalwood made it even more unpleasant.
Grandpa Ren. Meng Qi nodded slightly to the old man sitting in the room.
This is Tang Ren, one of the five elders. He was once the most promising master of the Tang family to break through to half-step on location, but now he is old and frail, and this is no longer possible.
He is the concubine brother of Tang Ji, the old man of the Tang Dynasty. He was taken care of by this brother. Therefore, after he became a master of martial arts, he has been responsible for the safety of the old man of Tang Dynasty and is in charge of the Canglan Sword, the magic weapon of the Tang family.
The gray-haired Tang Ren looked at Meng Qi, nodded and said: It's good to grow up.
He had already heard people report what he had just done, including Meng Qi taking off his human skin mask and calmly waiting for bloodline identification.
Walking to the bedside, Meng Qi saw Mr. Tang with a wrinkled face. His hair was sparse and gray, his eyes were closed tightly, and there seemed to be thick phlegm in his throat, which made his breathing intermittent, making those listening worried that he would not be able to catch a breath. Just come up and pass.
He He seemed to sense the return of Tang Jing, the second son of Tang Dynasty. Mr. Tang, who had fallen into a coma, suddenly moved. His right hand placed outside trembled slightly, his eyelids slowly opened, and his head turned sideways towards the door with difficulty.
Meng Qi strode over and held Mr. Tang's hand. When he saw that his eyes were cloudy, they were covered with tears. He was happy, willing, sad, and in pain. He wanted to speak, but his throat There is always a lot of noise, and I can't utter a word.
Somehow, seeing Mr. Tang's tears, Meng Qi suddenly thought of the two lines of tears shed by Tang Jing, the second son of the Tang Dynasty, before his death. They were full of begging and unwillingness. They were inexplicably sad and made people feel pity.
Two different pairs of eyes, tears and tears. The interlaced changes in Meng Qi's mind gave him a sense of cause and effect. In a vague way, he seemed to be the medium that conveyed this cause and effect.
I'll assume your identity and bear your karma. Meng Qi suddenly thought of this sentence. He seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't understand anything.
He held Mr. Tang's right hand tightly with both hands. He said in a deep voice: I'm back
Meng Qi was hoarse and couldn't go on because he knew he didn't have the emotional investment. The acting skills are not up to par yet.
However, in the ears of Mr. Tang and Tang Ren, he was too excited and choked.
Mr. Tang grabbed Meng Qi's right hand, shook it weakly three times, closed his eyes again, and fell into sleep.
Meng Qi waited for a while, took a deep breath, stood up, and saluted Tang Ren. Go to the door.
Do it boldly and do it with confidence. Tang Ren looked at the naked Mr. Tang and whispered.
Meng Qi nodded slightly, opened the door, and stepped out. A ray of sunlight shone in, filling the dull and dark room with brightness.
The location of the family ancestral hall is very particular. Meng Qi could find it just by looking at the layout without anyone else guiding him, but there was no need for him to do so, as the eldest son had his own servants around him.
Meng Qi always maintained a cold and rigid attitude and did not speak to the servant. After arriving at the ancestral hall, he stepped in and saw that there were incense tablets in the front and on the left and right. The center was vast and spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people. It was called a hall, but it was actually a palace.
After lighting a stick of incense. Meng Qi looked at the memorial tablet in front of him quietly, standing with his back to the gate. Not long after, people from the Tang family arrived one after another. Looking at Meng Qi's back, some were happy, some were excited, some were worried, and some were disgusted.
Waiter, what do you mean? Not long after Tang Mingyue entered the ancestral hall, Tang Qiye barged in with an angry face, wondering what Meng Qi was doing.
Beside him, Mr. Tang's face was gloomy, and several elders looked suspicious.
Meng Qi turned around slowly, his lips were tight and angular, and his eyes were cold: Second uncle, seventh uncle, there are some things that need to be explained clearly in front of the ancestors, clans and all the clan members.
People in the Tang family took a breath. They all felt the changes during this period, but because they were not the ones in charge, they didn't understand the key and the specific things. Recently, the eldest son's legitimate son What does Tang Jing want to say
Tang Qiye asked impatiently.
Second Master Tang said coldly: You haven't identified your bloodline yet.
Meng Qi said calmly: Today I am not asking as the eldest son, but as an ordinary member of the Tang family and descendants of the ancestors, asking the second uncle and the seventh uncle why they want to offend the Huanhua Sword Sect.
It's okay to seek refuge with the Wang family, but why offend the Huanhua Sword Sect? Who can bear the anger of the world's martial arts masters? Even if the Wang family comes to help, in the fight between two behemoths, even if it is slightly affected, it is not something that a small family like ours can do. You can't bear it if you want to destroy the Tang family.
The more he spoke, the harsher his voice became.
The Tang family members were in an uproar. They had also heard similar rumors, but there were other rumors, so they were not too worried. Now that Meng Qi had confirmed it, they were all worried. Even with the blessing of the Wang family, the Huanhua Sword Sect would do it for the sake of face. In a fight on location, the first one to be affected would definitely be the Tang family, and the rivers of blood would definitely not be a joke.
If relying on the Six Sects is reasonable, the Six Sects will not dare to pursue the disciples of the Huanhua Sword Sect, but if they offend the Huanhua Sword Sect first, the Six Sects will probably turn a blind eye to prevent the fight from spreading. Innocent civilians will wait until the Huanhua Sword Sect and the Wang family are almost fighting before they come out to mediate. At that time, it may be the Tang family who is sacrificed in exchange for stability.
Second Uncle, you are only acting as the head of the family. How can you make such a big decision rashly? Meng Qi shouted and asked Second Master Tang.
In the crowd, the clan members who were attached to the big house made noises one after another, creating a situation of questioning.
This is the benefit of mobilizing the masses.
Second Master Tang coughed: I didn't want to, but Lao Wu went crazy and suddenly surrounded and killed the Huanhua Sword Sect people with Shu Bo. At this point, he had no choice but to surrender to the Wang family.
The fifth uncle is dead, let's not worry about it for now, Tang Shu is still alive. Those who act wantonly behind the family's back must be dealt with severely and the relationship with the Huanhua Sword Sect can be eased. Meng Qi seemed to be giving orders.
Second Master Tang said in a deep voice: But he has already escaped.
He escaped, but his immediate family members did not escape, so they must be punished. If he does not return, they will be punished even more. Meng Qi said coldly. . If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
