"Young Master, those people are too much!" Mu Liuling said in a hateful voice in the room, "Knowing that you are staying here, the people who came to invite you to return to the Chu family are suspicious again and again, and their attitude is lazy and perfunctory. It's simply the look on their faces that they don't want you to return to the Chu family!"
It turned out that after Chu Mu and his partner entered the city and checked into the inn, it was already late at night when the Chu family in Kyoto "suddenly reacted" and knew that they should "welcome the second young master back home", but they very "suddenly"... only sent one person, without any etiquette, and just set up a carriage to ask Chu Tianxiao to return to the Chu family quietly in the dark night without disturbing anyone... What's more outrageous is that they actually said that there were no vacancies, and they were afraid that the second young master would have to wait for a room...
Of course, what made Mu Liuling most unhappy was that man's condescending expression from beginning to end. There was always a hint of contempt and an inexplicable sense of superiority in his eyes, as if he was the master and Chu Tianxiao was the slave...
"It's normal..." Chu Tianxiao said slowly, "If possible, Chu He doesn't want me to go back to the Chu family at all. Besides, he also knows that I won't just go back with a lot of noise but little action... So this is just a show, why bother about it?"
"But... but Young Master, I... Liu Ling can't stand seeing others looking at you like this. How can they do this? You are obviously the Young Master of the Chu Family..."
"Haha, I came to Kyoto just to remind them of this."
Chu Tianxiao said slowly: "Judging from the performance of these people tonight, the situation may be worse than we imagined..."
Mu Liuling nodded solemnly. The person who came to invite Chu Tianxiao tonight was just a small steward, but he was also unfriendly to Chu Tianxiao. From this, it can be seen that Chu He's claws have already reached the grassroots...
His control over the Chu family is far more terrifying than we knew before!
Ninety percent of the forces have surrendered and reached out to the grassroots level. It is no exaggeration to say that the Chu family is like an iron bucket in Chu He's hands.
"As we expected before, Chu He is a man who should not be underestimated. It is not easy to take back the Chu family from him!" Chu Tianxiao said leisurely, "But fortunately... I roughly drew up a plan before I came. Although it is not perfect, the general direction has been set, which should be enough."
Mu Liuling's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Young Master, do you have an idea?"
"Well... the whole plan is divided into three steps."
"The first step is to withstand Chu He's fierce counterattack tomorrow morning and prevent him from destroying the momentum we have accumulated..."
At this point, Mu Liuling nodded, not surprised. Obviously, she had guessed this step, but... the second half of Chu Tianxiao's sentence made her almost unable to believe her ears!
Then he said, "Not only must we withstand the counterattack, but we must also seize the Young Master's Building on the first day of moving into the Chu family!"
After hearing these words, Mu Liuling was stunned!
Young Master Building
That is the focus of Chu He's power in the Chu family, which is equivalent to the "heart" and "command flag" of the Chu family that he controls!
Young Master... actually wanted to seize such a strategic location on the first day of returning to the Chu family
How is this possible!
…
…
The Young Master's Building, as the name suggests, is a building where the successive young masters of the Chu family have lived. It has two very important attributes.
First, looking around the entire Young Master Building, those who can enter are the direct descendants of the Young Patriarch. It can be said that it is the base camp of the Young Patriarchs of all generations, so there will be a lot of "family belongings" accumulated in it - after each Young Patriarch succeeds the Patriarch, if the Young Patriarch is not elected at the same time, the Young Master Building will be immediately closed, and only things can be sent in, but not taken out! Even the Patriarch cannot mobilize any supplies from the Young Master Building unless the situation is critical, which leads to many rare resources of the Chu family being found in the Young Master Building.
It can be said that whoever obtains this building obtains half of the Chu family.
This... is also the tradition of the Chu family since its establishment. The first head of the Chu family believed in "heroes have always been young", and spared no effort in training the young head. The young head did not disappoint his father's expectations, and he was better than his father, making the Chu family prosperous. Therefore, the head of each generation is like an elder who protects the younger generation from wind and rain. With his elder's vision, he cares for the younger generation and waits for them to grow up. The younger generation is better than the father, so that the Chu family will be stronger from generation to generation!
Therefore, the position of Young Patriarch is very important in the Chu Family. Over the past thousand years, the Young Patriarch publicly appointed by the three elders has only been abolished three times. And the Young Patriarchs who passed the test and moved into the Young Patriarch Building have all succeeded to the position of the next Patriarch without exception.
From this we can understand the second attribute of the Young Master’s Building—it is a symbol: once you are qualified to move in, you will almost certainly be the next head of the Chu family!
But there has never been a young master who was driven out by others after moving into the Young Master’s Building!
It should be noted that several years ago, Chu Tianxiao was gradually abandoned by all the elders and clan elders because of his wasteful behavior. He was not given the official seal of "Young Patriarch" for a long time, and he was only in name but not in reality. At this time, Chu He suddenly appeared, and passed many tests as if he was destined to be, and got the seal, and obtained the qualification to live in the Young Patriarch's Building! Although he was not the "Young Patriarch" in name, but took advantage of the loophole, he was already the actual Young Patriarch of the Chu family!
After that, under his control, the Young Master Building became more and more powerful. The Young Master Building definitely contributed to Chu He's current good situation. The resources, classics, experiences of past young masters, etc. in the building all made Chu He even more powerful. It can be said that taking over the Young Master Building was definitely a major turning point in his life.
So Chu Tianxiao's idea... can be said to be a daydream! Imagine that Chu He now controls the Chu family, which is as solid as a rock, and the general trend is already established. Even if he is forced to give up a little bit, it would be considered Chu Tianxiao's clever means. And with the overall situation in his control, how could Chu He abandon the most important foundation - the Young Master Building
Not to mention... Chu Tianxiao actually planned to take over this place on the first day of his return to the Chu family. Even if Mu Liuling firmly believed that Chu Tianxiao would win in the end, she also felt that this struggle was a protracted war. The young master would start from the corners, grow stronger little by little, and finally fight back...
But I never thought that Chu Tianxiao actually wanted to take over the Young Master's Building in one day!
"Young Master, are you sure?" Mu Liuling was a little worried at the moment. It was not her fault. If someone else heard this, they would have thought Chu Tianxiao was crazy...
"If we only focus on the first step, we are only 40% sure at the moment." Chu Tianxiao knocked on the table and said leisurely, "I disrupted Chu He's layout with my powerful force, forcing him to fight hastily. Although it may still look sharp to ordinary people, the advantage is actually on my side, which gives me an extra 20% chance of success. In addition, when Third Uncle was young, he was also as unrestrained as I am tonight. If he heard that I was rushing to Kyoto in my chariot, he would definitely be touched. Although it is impossible to shake his judgment, Chu He will be more wary, which gives me another 20% chance of success."
"Forty percent sure?" Mu Liuling murmured softly for a while, "It's not too little, young master, you can give it a try."
Chu Tianxiao said: "Don't worry, 40% confidence is just the basis. If everything goes smoothly according to my plan, then one day we will be able to enter the Young Master's Building and we will have 80% confidence!"
"What? Eighty percent sure?" Mu Liuling was stunned when he heard this. How could he be eighty percent sure of such an incredible thing
Chu Tianxiao was not in a hurry to explain where the remaining 40% of the chance was, but said: "Liuling, don't be surprised, this is just the first step."
"Moving into the Young Master's Mansion is just the beginning. It means that we have established a firm foothold in the Chu family in Kyoto. There are many benefits, but the ice is not formed in a day. To break through the iron wall of Chu River, we need to do two more steps..." (To be continued.)
