Chapter 613: Madoka's secret
Chapter 613 A Yuan’s Secret
Patriarch is no longer there, how do they go next?
As early as half a month ago, imperial envoys, soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court had already camped hundreds of miles away from Ningyang City, and the upper and lower members of their clan prepared and responded according to the previous letter from the Patriarch.
Obviously, the imperial court did not dare to attack the city rashly. It had sent messengers to deliver the letter. There was still room in the letter, to the effect that if the Wu family was willing to give a definite answer, it was permitted to admit that the queen and the son had fled to the capital. Forced by the family, the Wu family did not know in advance, and the court still wanted to believe in the loyalty of the Wu family...
This rhetoric is of course full of self-deception that "speaking of ghosts do not believe", and it is obviously just a means of the imperial court to appease, but at least one thing is certain-if it is not necessary, the imperial court will never be an enemy to the Wu family at this time. .
Just as the Lord Zhenguo had already occupied Linyuan City, the scandal of the little prince’s non-royal bloodline had also spread, but the court still wanted to make peace.
Everyone can see that the reason why the imperial court is so ‘able to bend and stretch’, and to endure the momentary anger, is nothing more than trying to balance the situation as much as possible, and wanting to use this as a way to slow down the army, and is unwilling to let King Yan get too powerful.
At the moment, the court is still waiting for the "answer" from their Wu family——
I thought that after the return of the owner, everything would be clear to me...
Can be seen now, but the Patriarch will never come back!
The change of the capital not only caught the imperial court by surprise, but also surprised them. In the eyes of most people, being so adventurous and impatient is not the usual style of the Patriarch—maybe it was really affected by the old man of the town’s prince. Of coercion?
or confused?
After all, once the head of the family confronts the town’s grandfather, it is often easy to get hotheaded...
As for what the Patriarch intends, and how to implement the next plan, no one knows at all!
And the elder son and grandson who are most likely to know the plan are no longer there, so I asked the second master and the third master, they also know very little about the detailed plan of the Patriarch!
As soon as the Patriarch died, the deepest bond and trust between the Wu family and King Yan disappeared. They...really want to blindly support King Yan without knowing it?
The imperial court is not credible, and without the Patriarch in charge, can King Yan be credible?
In the Wu Family Chamber, the people of the tribe were divided.
"It's better to push the boat along the river first, and temporarily conform to the court's intentions, so as to keep Ningyang stable..."
"It's ridiculous! Patriarch and the descendants of the world have all lost their lives in the hands of the court. They pretended to make peace while they tried to kill in the dark. They clearly wanted to deter us from waiting and force me to give in! If we made concessions at this time, wouldn't they just succeed them? Treacherous trick!"
"Yes, the Patriarch's bones are not cold. At this time, succumbing to the court, where is the face of the Wu clan? What face will you and I have to see the Patriarch in the future?"
"Isn’t the enemy of the Patriarch not reported!"
"This hatred must be repaid in the future. What I mean by the word "compliance" does not mean that I intend to submit to the court...to make a decision and then move. The matter of supporting the Yan King needs to be discussed for a long time. There is no countermeasure at the moment. Is it really necessary to face the court? superior?"
"Uncle's words are also reasonable..." A young man echoed: "Wu's century-old foundation is here, and there is still the confidence to maintain neutrality for a while."
"You also know that it is a moment! It is the imperial court that is obstructed by the overall situation, and is willing to endure this moment, but in the future, there will be no less after the fall. If the overall situation is settled, the Wu will undoubtedly fall into a passive state... Instead of this, pay back. It's better to help King Yan, it's still a way to save yourself!"
"Since the Patriarch has made up his mind, he must have considered it carefully. Don't you think you will see farther than the Patriarch's eyesight?"
"But the Patriarch is no longer there! The death of the Patriarch will definitely affect the overall situation, that is, whether the Xu family will be shaken or not...The overall situation of the world is changing rapidly. Neither you nor I have the wisdom of the Patriarch, how can you talk about the will to inherit the Patriarch? "
"……"
The whole hall was full of voices and disputes.
Wu Jingyi was busy dealing with funeral affairs and did not show up.
When was so noisy that it was impossible to communicate with each other, the eyes of the people of the people gathered on Wu Jingling and Wu Ran.
Most of the is still on Wu Ran-the family has a very important lineage inheritance, Wu Jingling is the son of the family, and there is no stare at this juncture.
And those eyes were full of expectations, they expected this boy to be like his grandfather and brother, to bring new hope and direction to the Wu family——
I could see the boy who was sitting there, but only eight or nine years old, who had just lost several close relatives, looked a little bit at a loss in this situation... and soon, those expectations turned into disappointment.
Even in those many sights, there are a few vague contempt, and even seemingly non-existent views and trade-offs.
Wu Ranru sits on pins and needles.
He doesn’t know who to listen to and how to choose the right one...
He is afraid of making wrong decisions, he is afraid of betraying the painstaking planning of his grandfather and second brother, and he is also afraid of beating the Wu clan and the people of Ningyang.
The burden on his shoulders was too heavy for him, and too sudden.
Facing one after another urging him to express his attitude, Wu Jingling stood up when the boy felt that he was unable to support it.
"This matter is very important, and you can rush to a conclusion with a few words." Wu Jingling glanced at his nephew and said to everyone: "The court dare not act rashly for a while. This matter is for me, A Zhang and his third brother. After discussing with my mother, and then going to Xinlinyuan to inquire about Zhen Guogong's intentions, I won’t be too late to discuss with you—"
When he heard him speak, although several older people were dissatisfied, they did not say much.
This matter really cannot be settled in a day or two.
"Well, at least we have to deal with the family's back affairs first..." An old man who is known in the clan sighed.
Mentioned this, the hall fell into sorrow again.
Everyone left one after another, and Wu Ran slowly walked out of the chamber.
"Second Uncle, who should I listen to?" The boy hung his shoulders, his voice was very soft, but he was completely at a loss.
Wu Jingling walked beside him and said, "Azhang, you need to know that all sounds are for consideration. You only need to listen to your own--"
Wu Ran was a little startled.
This sentence is no stranger.
In other words, someone around him has always done this to him—grandfather, second brother, all of them.
This is the way of the homeowner.
"These people in today's hall, although they hold different opinions, they all claim that it is for the sake of the overall situation and for the Wu family..." Wu Jingling looked forward and said slowly: "But the facts may not be the case. They each have their own interests. Think about it, even among them, there might be someone who treats the Wu family with dissent—A Zhang, you have to learn to distinguish people's hearts, this is the most difficult."
Distinguish people's hearts...
Wu Ran listened attentively: "I took it all down."
He has a lot to learn.
Fortunately——
"Fortunately, there are still two uncles and third uncles..." He looked at the tall man on his side, his tone of reliance and weakness in the face of close people.
Wu Jingling turned his head when he heard this, and said with Wu Ran's eyes that he still didn't understand: "Azhang, second uncle and third uncle, you don't need to believe it all...you need to know that after your grandfather, father, mother, and elder brothers leave From now on, there will be no one worthy of your wholehearted trust in this world, because the rest are all those who have interests in conflict with you."
Even though it is cruel to say that, he still hopes that Zhang and his nephew can grow up as soon as possible...
In this way, the truth can be fashioned and supported in the future.
After a short pause, the boy forced his tears back from facing the trustworthy person, and then nodded.
"Azhang understands what the second uncle said."
Speaking, stopped under his feet and bowed to Wu Jingling.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Although he is young, he has learned since childhood but he always keeps in mind the changing principles of people's hearts-he doesn't know what will happen in the future, but his second uncle is grateful for reminding him at this time.
One thing, he also wanted to explain: "In A Zhang's heart, the second uncle and the third uncle are still trusted relatives."
This trust is what his heart desires. Even if things change in the future, it is his choice, not to be deceived. As the second uncle just said, he should listen to himself most.
Wu Jingling heard this, and looked at the boy who seemed to have disappeared from the confusion between his eyebrows in front of him, suddenly a little dazed.
After a while, Shi Cai said: "It looks a bit like your second brother when he was a kid..."
After saying this, turn back and continue walking forward: "Let's go, go to your third uncle."
Wu Ran nodded and looked at the man's profile.
When I mentioned my second brother, my second uncle’s eyes turned red.
So, even the third uncle once said that the second uncle appreciates and loves the second brother, and even more so than the eldest brother that the second uncle kissed——
The second brother has an accident, and the second uncle’s pain is no less than anyone else.
The next few days will all be busy with funerals.
At this time, news that the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Dingnan King’s lineage had an accident had spread in Ningyang City.
For the people of Ningyang, the news seemed to be half of the sky above their heads, sad and uneasy.
Wu Ran Bairi may arrange everything with his two uncles and eldest brother, or meet several important figures in the clan alone, in an attempt to shed light on their respective opinions for real feasible solutions.
But these are all days.
When there is no one at night, the boy hides himself in the bed and steals tears.
but did not dare to cry too much, for fear that it would be seen when she got up the next day.
This evening, Wu Ran only used half of his usual dinner for dinner, so he put down his chopsticks.
Xiao Si hurriedly said: "My son, don't you eat anymore?"
Although they are all vegetarian dishes, he specially ordered the kitchen according to the son’s preferences, especially these dishes, five silk vegetable rolls, bergamot Guanyin lotus, lotus pond stir-fry...
Xiao Si was thinking in her heart, her eyes stopped suddenly, and she almost slapped herself on the forehead!
Young Master’s preferences are mostly influenced by his grandchildren... Didn’t he deliberately make him feel uncomfortable!
It's really a failure to achieve success!
"..." The little girl wanted to say something to comfort her son, but he was afraid to make the boy even more sad.
"I'll go to Sanshu's once, so I don't have to follow." Wu Ran said.
Xiao Si had no choice but to "yes".
He watched it with his own eyes. The son has changed almost every day in the past few days.
Wu Ran lied.
He did not go to find Wu Jingyi, but went to the home of his father and mother. After a while, another person walked slowly in the night, and finally came to the courtyard of Wu Chao.
The owner of the yard was gone, and the yard was deserted. No trace of anyone was seen. There were lights hanging under the porch, and they were replaced with plain white paper lanterns. The house, which was always always lit, was also full of lights at this time. The color of pitch black.
The boy went up the stone steps and came to the outside of the main hall. In the darkness, he seemed to be able to see the figure of the boy who taught him to play chess in the hall.
He is not as smart as his second brother, and when his second brother is as old as him, he has already won his father.
Father……
The boy’s tears fell suddenly.
The second brother will still play chess with his father, right?
No, since the grandfather is here, it must be the father’s turn. It must be the second brother and grandfather. The father is watching...
The boy sat on the threshold and cried silently, hugging his knees.
"Second brother, are you the top seven today? If so, can you come and see me... I'm not afraid of ghosts at all, really."
The boy's mouth turned into a squash, tears fell in strings, looking at the dark yard, choked up and said: "I'm really not afraid, I'm not afraid of you every day, brother, I think is you……"
said, crying, and then changed his words: "...you don't have to come every day. If you have the chance to reincarnate, you should hurry to reincarnate. Reincarnation is a serious matter..."
Those tearful eyes looked like a pitiful and homeless Coyote in the night, and he seriously discussed and pleaded: "Second brother, if you can choose, then we will still be a family in the next life, will it be successful?" "
As soon as the voice fell, I suddenly felt a light pat on the left shoulder.
"Ah!" Wu Ran exclaimed, only feeling that his whole body's hair was upside down, he straightened up his clothes, and suddenly bounced up at an incredible speed.
"Oh!" The man who was hit by his head in his jaw cried out grievously: "Fourth son, don't you say you are not afraid?"
"A Yuan?" Wu Ran saw the other's face clearly, and let out a long breath.
He really appeared as the second brother.
Fear...Naturally, he is not afraid, he just isn't ready yet.
"Four sons came alone?" A Yuan asked in a whisper.
——He hid in the dark and paid close attention to it for a long time, but did not find any traces of other people.
Wu Ran nodded and wiped away tears.
"You have something to say to the fourth son..." Yuan blinked, her voice couldn't be lower: "You come with the little one."
While speaking, he went into the house.
Wu Ran followed in.
A Yuan is a person trusted by the second brother and a person he trusts.
The light in the room was still not lit, Yuan brought Wu Ran into the inner room, the room was so quiet that there was no sound of wind.
A Yuan is going to tell him a secret?
The secret is to say secretly.
Wu Ran even looked at the direction of the bed, and the meaning was self-evident—Should I cover it with a quilt?
A Yuan followed the boy’s eyes and glanced at him: It’s not necessary, it’s weird...
He pulled the boy and sat down on the couch while he squatted down in front of the boy: "Fourth son, you may be a little surprised if you hear what the villain will say next, but although the villain has checked carefully, he is still worried that there are ears in the wall. , So you must not make any audible noises..."
Wu Ran nodded seriously.
A Yuan looked down on him too much, how can he make a fuss now?
"The villain thinks that the prince, the prince, and the son must still be alive..." A Yuan whispered.
Wu Ran’s eyes suddenly widened like copper bells, and he lost his voice: "Wha...uhhh-"
A Yuan had already prepared, and she covered the boy's mouth.
In the darkness, after facing each other for a long time, Yuan Shi asked with his eyes—is it almost?
"..." Wu Ran nodded, he already yelled his throat in the bottom of his heart.
Thank you Lord Qinghan for your many rewards, thank you for your monthly pass Bow and thank you.
Today is 520. Have a great time. I wish you all a happy company and good night.
