"Second Young Master, a guest has arrived and wants to see you. Please go to the front hall..."
The next morning, Chu Tianxiao did not slack off and got up early as usual. Just after he finished washing up, an old servant walked into the young master's building and bowed to him.
"Haha... I'll be there later." Chu Tianxiao had expected this and said calmly.
"… Second Young Master, you won't go with me?" The old servant was slightly stunned, and then said unhappily, "Second Young Master, didn't you hear clearly? There is a guest…"
Chu Tianxiao interrupted: "I will be in the front hall before you arrive."
Hearing this, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on the old servant's face. He waved his sleeves, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Seeing this, Mu Liuling, who was standing by, showed a worried look: "Young Master, I heard that Chu He suddenly went into seclusion last night for some reason, and his people came to invite you over early this morning, and their words were unclear, I'm afraid they don't have any good intentions..."
"Liuling, you have to know that while we are taking action, Chu He is not just sitting there doing nothing. He lost the Young Master's Building, so of course he will fight back fiercely. Or maybe this is his backup plan that he had prepared long ago?" Chu Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. We can just act according to the original plan, but we have to hurry up."
Chu Tianxiao looked at Mu Liuling.
"Liu Ling, do you remember what I told you before... After you get the Young Master's Building, you must find out Chu He's weakness so as to win over Third Uncle?"
"The people I want to ask will be here soon. They will be your 'helpers' in reorganizing the Young Master's Building in the next period of time. There are a lot of people, but how to use them and how to use them depends on your discretion."
After hearing this, Mu Liuling was stunned for a moment, and then she was secretly delighted. She was already worried about the lack of manpower last night, and was very busy. Although Chu Tianxiao had taken over the Young Master's Building and raised a big banner, it didn't mean that he could immediately attract enough available people. If there were "helpers" coming to help at this time, it would be a good thing.
Chu Tianxiao looked at her expression and smiled, "Liuling, don't be too happy. These people are not so easy to use. You have been working in the Purple Robe Marquis's Mansion before, which was relatively pure, but being in charge of a family is never a pure matter. You need to deal with some... 'treacherous ministers'."
"Be smooth and worldly-wise, be flexible and adaptable, and be firm and easily broken. The family needs some lubricants... Liu Ling, I'm handing over the young master of this building to you. Hone your skills and experience this experience carefully. You will gain a lot..."
After hearing these words, Mu Liuling roughly guessed something and nodded heavily, "Liuling will definitely live up to the young master's expectations."
The two were talking when suddenly there was a noise downstairs, which seemed to be a quarrel. Hearing the sound, Chu Tianxiao's mouth curled up a little: "Very good, the loyal 'helper' is here."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a burst of ping-pong sounds, and then several people stepped up and a dry voice was heard.
"Young Master, you are finally back!"
Chu Tianxiao looked at the three people coming over. One of them was a short old man, holding a cane and carrying a book basket on his back. He was the one who made the noise. The other person next to him was a fat man wearing a big bellyband. Next to him was a big iron hammer, which was black and shiny. The last person was a thin middle-aged man with his hair standing up high and a long tongue, half of which was sticking out. He didn't look like a good person at first glance...
As soon as the three of them saw Chu Tianxiao, they all showed extremely excited expressions!
“Young Patriarch! You’ve grown so big! Ahem… OK, OK!”
"Young Patriarch, we are all... all the loyal followers of the Second Master. This time, we will definitely support you to the end!"
"Yes, Chu He actually dared to occupy the Young Master's Building for so many years. We will definitely settle this account with him!"
"Don't worry, Young Patriarch, we are here and will never let Chu He hurt you!"
"Bah! Chu He is just the son of the late master's concubine. He was not even worthy of the title of 'Tian'. What right does he have to boss us around? Er, er, no! He is bossing you, the young master. What right does he have? "
That’s right, these three people are the representatives of the ‘worms’ that Chu He mentioned - that is, the leaders of the forces opposing Chu He, which account for less than 10% of the intelligence collected by Mu Liuling.
They are all old sly guys. When Chu Tianxiao entered the Chu family with great fanfare yesterday, they were just shaken and did not show their loyalty until Chu Tianxiao took over the Young Master Building and his subordinate Mu Liuling quickly replaced all of Chu He's staff in the building, with swift and ruthless actions... These old sly guys who would not cry until they saw the coffin finally stood "firmly" on Chu Tianxiao's side.
At the same time, this is because they realized that if they did not show their loyalty while the second young master was still short of manpower, it would be too late.
"It's quite interesting... One is in the middle level of Tongxuan, and the other is in the upper level of Tongxuan. That old man... I'm afraid he has entered the Qihun level? No wonder Chu He hasn't eliminated him yet."
Chu Tianxiao looked at them with interest - you must know that according to the classic routine, when most of the true princes are reorganizing their own families, they just wave their hands and give some benefits, and people one after another will bow down to them. Their own power grows like a snowball, and the hostile forces, no matter how rampant, are just paper tigers. The battle reports are like this all day long - on xx day, so many elders were lost, on xx day, so many elders betrayed... The final outcome is: on xx day, all the forces opposing the true prince were killed.
The true emperor will reorganize the family. Those who obey him will prosper, and those who disobey him will perish!
That was a crushing and irrational defeat!
And these three people... obviously belong to the faction that is 'against' the Prince of Fortune. To put it bluntly, they are villains! But these villains were able to survive to this day with their own forces, without being "inexplicably influenced" or "crushed to death" under the crushing of the Prince of Fortune!
Chu Tianxiao was really interested in this "rare villain" who survived after being screwed by his destined prince.
"However... the fact that they have been able to hold on until now does not mean that they and their subordinates are very strong or have high IQs... Rather, it should be said that they understand the rules of survival in a large family better than the Prince of Fortune."
"But judging from their appearance... I guess they can't hold out for much longer, right? Moreover, they seem to have rejected Chu He's offer of 'recruitment'? Well, they have guts! Stubborn villains, let me, the prodigal, lead you to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the true emperor."
Chu Tianxiao thought about this with evil interest in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said: "In other words...you, are here to seek refuge with me?"
"Yes, yes!" The group of people nodded quickly. The short old man stomped his cane and said, "We are loyal to you, Young Master! From now on, we will follow your command and fight Chu He to the end!"
"good!"
"That Chu He guy is such a jerk!"
Chu Tianxiao looked at them with some amusement, but at the moment the only manpower he could call upon in the Chu family, the most experienced and 'most experienced' one, was this one. Although they were not very useful and could easily cause trouble, but... that also depended on who was going to use them.
"A group of people with high emotional intelligence and low IQ, if used properly, can just be used to fight against the Prince of Fortune who generally has low emotional intelligence!"
"Well, it depends on Liu Ling."
Of course, the most important thing is another point...
Just think, if you want to know the dark history of your chosen prince, is there a better way than to ask the stubborn little villain who has been fighting with him for many years
Those secrets, past events, things that others can never find out, but the villain... just knows!
Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly: "In this case, you and Chu He have been fighting for so long. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy. Do you know what bad deeds Chu He has done?"
Hearing this, the three of them all had their eyes wide open. They were villains! What was a villain? Disliking the Prince of Fortune was the most basic quality of a villain! Collecting and uncovering the Prince of Fortune's dark history was their specialty and even their instinct—although this also led to their extremely high mortality rate...
As soon as Chu Tianxiao's voice fell, they immediately started to talk nonsense, and mentioned a lot of information that Mu Liuling couldn't collect no matter how hard he tried... Of course, how much of this information was true and false depended on Chu Tianxiao's own judgment. Villains like this with family power were also on the list for their stupidity and unreliability.
really…
"Chu He has been a naughty kid since he was young! When he was ten years old, he even peeped at my daughter taking a bath! He kept peeping for five years!" (To be continued.)
