Chapter 612

The owner is gone. How do they go next?

As early as half a month ago, the Imperial Envoys and soldiers sent by the imperial court had camped hundreds of miles away from Ningyang city. All the members of their family deployed defense and responded according to the previous letter from their master.

Obviously, the imperial court did not dare to attack the city rashly. It sent messengers to deliver the letter. There was still room in the letter. The general idea was that if the Wu family would give a clear answer and admit that the queen and her son fled the capital was forced by the Xu family, and the Wu family did not know it, the imperial court would still believe the loyalty of the Wu family

Although this statement is full of self deception and self deception, and obviously it is only a means of false appeasement by the imperial court, at least one thing is certain - if it is not necessary, the imperial court will never be directly against the Wu family at this time.

Just as the Duke of the town has occupied Linyuan City, the scandal of the little prince's non royal blood has spread, but the imperial court still means to make peace.

Anyone with a clear eye can see that the reason why the imperial court is so "flexible and flexible" and is willing to endure a moment of anger is nothing more than trying to balance the situation, trying to take this as a delaying measure, and unwilling to let the Yan King gain too much power.

At present, the imperial court is still waiting for their "reply" from the Wu family——

I thought everything would be clear after the owner came back

But now, the owner can't come back!

The change of the capital not only caught the imperial court unprepared, but even surprised them. In the eyes of most people, such adventure and impatience is not the consistent style of the family owner - I'm not sure. Was it really coerced by the old man of the Duke of Zhenguo?

Or bewitching?

After all, once the owner of the house is against the Duke of the town, it is often easy to get hot headed

As for the owner's plan and how to implement the next plan, they don't know at all!

And the son and grandson who are most likely to know the plan are gone. They asked the second master and the third master. They also know little about the master's detailed plan!

Once the owner died, the deepest fetters and trust between the Wu family and the king of Yan disappeared. Do they really want to blindly support the king of Yan without knowing anything?

The imperial court is not credible, and the king of Yan must be credible without his master?

In the Wu family's assembly hall, the ethnic groups were divided.

"It's better to push the boat along the river and temporarily comply with the intention of the imperial court to ensure the stability of Ningyang..."

"It's ridiculous! The master of the family and his descendants died in the hands of the imperial court. While pretending to make peace, they secretly kill people. It's clear that they want to intimidate us and force Wu to give in! If they give in at this time, they will succeed in their plot!"

"Yes, the master's bones are not cold. At this time, he succumbs to the imperial court. What's the face of the Wu family? What face do you and I have to see the master in the future?"

"Don't you avenge the owner?"

"This revenge must be repaid in the future. I don't mean to comply with the word. I don't mean to submit to the imperial court... Plan and then move. The matter of supporting the king of Yan still needs to be discussed in the long run. There is no countermeasure at present. Do you really want to be hostile to the imperial court?"

"Uncle's words are reasonable..." a young man echoed: "Wu's century old foundation is here, and he still has the confidence to remain neutral for a while."

"You know it's a moment! The imperial court is willing to endure this moment because of the overall situation, but there will be no shortage of accounts in the autumn. If the overall situation has been determined, Wu will undoubtedly fall into a passive situation... Rather than so, it's better to help the king of Yan. It can be regarded as a way to save himself!"

"Since the owner has made up his mind, he must have considered it carefully. Do you think you will see more far than the owner's vision?"

"But the master is gone! The death of the master will affect the overall situation, that is, whether the Xu family will waver or not... The overall situation in the world is changing rapidly. Since you and I have no wisdom of the master, how can we talk about inheriting the master's will?"

“……”

The hall was full of voices and arguments.

Wu Jingyi was busy dealing with the aftermath of Yiying and did not show up.

When the quarrel became impassable, the eyes of all the people gathered on Wu jingling and Wu ran.

Most of them are still in Wu Ran's body - the aristocratic family attaches great importance to lineal inheritance. Wu jingling is a concubine. At this juncture, he can't get any eyes at all.

They expected the boy to bring new hope and direction to the Wu family like his grandfather and brother——

But seeing the boy sitting there, only eight or nine years old, who had just lost many close relatives, he was a little overwhelmed in the face of this situation... Soon, those expectations turned into disappointment.

Even in that many lines of sight, there are also some obscure contempt, and even some looking and weighing.

Wu ran was on pins and needles.

He doesn't know who to listen to and how to choose the right one

He was afraid of making a wrong decision. He was afraid of betraying the painstaking planning of his grandfather and second brother, as well as the Wu family and the people all over Ningyang.

The burden on his shoulder was too heavy and sudden for him.

In the face of one question after another urging him to express his position, when the boy felt that he couldn't support it, Wu jingling stood up.

"It's a matter of great importance. You can't make a hasty conclusion without just a few words." Wu jingling glanced at his nephew and said to the people, "the imperial court dare not act rashly for the moment. It's not too late for me to discuss this matter with ah Zhang and his third brother after discussing with my mother, and then go to Linyuan to ask the Duke of the town."

After hearing him speak, several elderly people were dissatisfied, but they didn't say anything more.

This matter can not be settled in a day or two.

"Well, at least do the things behind the owner first..." an old man who has always enjoyed prestige in the family sighed.

Mentioned this, the Hall fell into sadness again.

The people left one after another, and Wu ran also slowly walked out of the conference hall.

"Second uncle, who should I listen to?" the boy hung his shoulders, his voice was very light, but full of confusion.

Wu jingling walked beside him and said, "ah Zhang, you should know that all voices are considered. You just need to listen to your own --"

Wu ran was stunned.

This sentence is no stranger.

In other words, someone around him has always shown him this - grandfather and second brother.

This is the way of home owners.

"Although these people in today's hall hold different opinions, they all claim that they are for the overall situation and for the Wu family..." Wu jingling looked ahead and said slowly: "but this may not be the case. They have their own interests to think about. Even among them or hide those who have different hearts for the Wu family - ah Zhang, you have to learn to distinguish people's hearts, which is the most difficult."

Distinguish people's hearts

Wu ran listened carefully: "I have written it down."

He has a lot to learn.

Fortunately——

"Fortunately, there are still two uncles and three uncles..." he looked at the tall man on his side, with some dependence and weakness in the face of close talents.

Wu jingling turned his head when he heard the speech, took Wu Ran's eyes that he still didn't understand, and said, "ah Zhang, you don't have to trust your second and third uncles... You know, after your grandfather, father, mother and brother left, there will be no one in the world you can trust wholeheartedly, because the rest are those who compete with you for interests."

Even though it's cruel to say so, he still hopes that ah Zhang and his nephew can grow up as soon as possible

In this way, we can face the truth and support it in the future.

After a brief stunned, the boy forced back his tears in the face of trusted people, and then nodded.

"Ah Zhang understood what the second uncle said."

Then he stopped and saluted Wu jingling.

"Thank you, second uncle."

Although he was young, what he learned from childhood also made him always remember the truth that people's hearts are changeable - he doesn't know what will happen in the future, but the second uncle's reminder to him at this time is worthy of his gratitude.

One thing, he also wants to explain: "in ah Zhang's heart, the second uncle and the third uncle are still trustworthy relatives."

This trust is what he wants. Even if there will be changes in the future, it is also his choice, not being deceived by others. As my second uncle said just now, he should listen to himself.

Hearing this, Wu jingling looked at the boy in front of him who seemed to have lost his sense of confusion, and suddenly he was in a trance.

A moment later, he just said, "it looks like your second brother when he was young..."

After talking, he turned his head and continued to walk forward: "go, go to your third uncle."

Wu ran nodded and looked at the man's side face.

When I mentioned my second brother, my second uncle's eyes turned red.

Also, even the third uncle once said that the second uncle appreciated and loved the second brother, and even more so the eldest brother who was born by the second uncle——

The second brother has an accident and the second uncle has no less pain than anyone.

In the next few days, I was busy with the funeral.

At this time, the news of the accident of the three ancestors and grandchildren of Dingnan king has spread in Ningyang city.

The news seemed to the people of Ningyang that the sky above their heads had fallen in half, sad and panic.

In the daytime, Wu ran either arranged everything with his two uncles and elder brothers, or met several influential figures in the family alone, trying to figure out real and feasible strategies from their respective opinions.

But these are days.

When there was no one at night, the boy shrank into bed and secretly shed tears.

But he didn't dare to cry too much for fear that people would see it when he got up the next day.

This night, Wu ran only used half of his usual dinner and put down his chopsticks.

The boy hurriedly said, "young master, don't you eat any more?"

Although they are all vegetarian dishes, he specially ordered the kitchen according to the childe's preferences, especially these dishes, five silk vegetable rolls, bergamot Guanyin lotus, lotus pond stir fry

The little fellow read in his heart. Suddenly his eyes stagnated and almost slapped himself on the forehead!

Most of the childe's preferences are influenced by Shisun... Didn't he deliberately make it hard for the childe!

It's not enough to succeed, it's more than enough to fail!

"..." the boy wanted to say something to comfort his son, but he was afraid to make the boy more sad.

"I'll go to the third uncle. I don't have to follow him." Wu ran said.

The boy had to answer "yes".

He watched it with his own eyes. The childe has changed almost day by day these days. He is more and more insistent, so that people dare not go against his words.

Wu ran lied.

Instead of looking for Wu Jingyi, he first went to his father's and mother's house. After a while, another man walked slowly in the night, and finally came to Wu Chiu's house.

When the owner of the yard was gone, the yard was deserted, and there was no trace of servants. Only there were lights hanging under the corridor, and they were replaced by plain white paper lanterns. At this time, the house, which was always lit, was dark.

The boy went up the stone steps and came outside the main hall. In the darkness, it seemed that he could still see the young figure who used to teach him to play chess in the hall.

He is not as savvy as his second brother. When his second brother was as old as him, he could win his father.

Father

The boy's tears suddenly fell down.

Will the second brother still play chess with his father?

No, since there is a grandfather, there must be no father. It must be the second brother and grandfather, and the father is watching

The boy sat on the threshold, hugged his knees and cried silently.

"Second brother, is today your first seven? If so, can you come and see me... I'm not afraid of ghosts at all, really."

The boy's mouth turned into a face melon, and his tears fell in clusters. Looking at the dark yard, he choked and said, "I'm really not afraid. I'm not afraid of you every day. Second brother, I miss you..."

Then he cried and changed his way: "... You don't have to come day by day. If you have the chance of reincarnation, you'd better hurry to reincarnation. Reincarnation is a serious thing..."

Those tearful eyes looked like a poor homeless dog in the night. They discussed and begged very seriously: "second brother, if you can choose, we will still be a family in the afterlife, will you?"

As soon as the voice fell, I suddenly felt that my left shoulder was patted gently.

"Ah!" Wu ran exclaimed. He just felt his hair stand up, straightened his clothes, and suddenly bounced up at an incredible speed.

"Ouch!" the man whose head hit his jaw shouted wrongfully, "fourth childe, don't you say you're not afraid?"

"A yuan?" Wu ran saw each other's face and breathed out.

He really showed up as a second brother.

Fear... Naturally, he's not afraid. He's just not ready.

"The fourth childe came alone?" ah yuan asked quietly.

——He hid in the dark and watched carefully for a long time. He didn't find anyone else.

Wu ran nodded and wiped his tears.

"The little one has something to say to the fourth childe..." ah yuan blinked, and his voice couldn't be lower: "come with the little one."

Then he went inside.

Wu ran followed in.

A yuan is the person that the second brother trusts and he trusts.

The house was still not lit. Ah yuan took Wu ran to the inner room. The house was so silent that he couldn't hear a trace of wind.

Is ah yuan going to tell him a secret?

The secret is to say it secretly.

Wu ran even looked at the direction of the bed, and the meaning was self-evident - do you want to put on a quilt?

Ah yuan took a look along the boy's line of sight: it's not necessary. It's strange

He pulled the boy to sit down in the couch, and squatted in front of the boy: "fourth childe, you may be surprised by what the villain said next. Although the villain checked carefully, he still worried that the wall has ears, so you must not make any loud noise..."

Wu ran nodded seriously.

Ah yuan looks down on him too much. Is he a fusser now.

"The villain thinks that the prince, the prince and the childe must still be alive..." ah yuan whispered.

Wu Ran's eyes suddenly stared as big as a copper bell, and lost his voice: "what... Uh huh -"

A yuan was ready and covered the boy's mouth.

In the dark, his eyes met each other for a long time. Ah yuan just asked with his eyes - almost?

"..." Wu ran nodded. He had broken his throat at the bottom of his heart.
