Chapter 208 Cause and effect (please vote for recommendation)

Master Tang Qi 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, it is 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 and said, "It's okay, nephew, don't be in a hurry, we 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, the expressions of Master Tang Er and Master Tang Qi 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, and It’s not like I can’t pretend to drop the bag 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 Forgiveness?"

Second Master Tang replied with a slight embarrassment: "Uncle Shu was bewitched by Lao Wu and participated in the assassination of the leader of the Huanhua Sword Sect and his relatives. He has 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? Humph, the fifth uncle and Grandpa Shu ignored the family, acted wantonly, and deserved to die."

Tang Shu is not dead yet... Tang Er Ye and Tang Qi Ye looked at each other. However, it is impossible to say whether something like this can be done or not. Once it is revealed, the anger of the Huanhua Sword Sect needs to be calmed in the future, so as not to be pulled out as a scapegoat when the fish is dead and the net is broken. The best thing is to wait for others.

Meng Qi didn't wait for the two of them to speak, and said to himself: "Second uncle, seventh uncle, although I can't take over the power of the family until my bloodline is identified, you won't stop me from visiting my grandfather and worshiping my ancestors, right?"

Humph, it sounds like you will be the head of the family in two or three days... Compared to Tang Erye, Tang Qiye's palace is not so deep, and his expression slightly reveals his inner thoughts.

"Of course. Nephew Jing, it is a blessing for our Tang family that you can turn back your prodigal son and understand filial piety, nephew Jing." Second Master Tang nodded slightly, which seemed to be a compliment, but also a mockery.

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'll go with you." Tang Mingyue wanted to seize the time to tell her second brother about the situation at home.

Meng Qi nodded lightly and walked towards Mr. Tang's room with Tang Mingyue.

"Ming Yue, go and summon the clan members who are currently at home. Except for those who serve as guards, all 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 and was a little dazed for a moment.

Meng Qi said to her in a gentle manner: "This matter is strange, we must cut the knot with a sharp knife."

Bottom line, the sooner you mix things up, the better.

ah? Tang Mingyue stared at her big black and white eyes, full of doubts.

Meng Qi saw that she was puzzled and whispered: "Second uncle, fifth uncle, and seventh uncle all joined 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 usually 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 medicine and sandalwood made it even more unpleasant.

"Grandpa Ren." Meng Qi nodded gently 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 Tang family's magic weapon "Canglan Sword".

The gray-haired Tang Ren looked at Meng Qi, nodded and said, "It's good to grow up."

What happened just now, including Meng Qi taking off the human skin mask and calmly waiting for the bloodline identification, he had already heard people report it.

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 tilted toward 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, intertwined and changed in Meng Qi's mind, giving him a sense of cause and effect. In a vague way, he seemed to be the medium to transmit this cause and effect.

"I assume your identity and bear your karma..." This sentence suddenly appeared in Meng Qi's heart, and he seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't understand anything.

He held Mr. Tang's right hand tightly with both hands and said solemnly: "I'm back..."

Meng Qi was hoarse and couldn't go on, because he knew that without that emotional investment, his acting skills would not be up to par.

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, saluted Tang Ren, and walked out the door.

"Do it boldly and do it with confidence." Tang Ren looked at Mr. Tang on the bed 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 can find it just by looking at the layout without anyone else guiding him. However, there is no need for him to do so. The eldest son has his own servants around him.

Meng Qi had always maintained a cold and stubborn attitude and did not speak to the servants. After arriving at the ancestral hall, he stepped in and saw there were incense tablets in front of him and on the left and right. The center was vast and spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people. It was called the hall. , is actually a palace.

After lighting a stick of incense, Meng Qi quietly looked at the memorial tablet in front of him, 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, and some were Some are anxious and some are disgusted.

"Xiao Er, 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 up to.

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 did Tang Jing want to say?

"What's the matter with pretending to be a ghost?" 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 a descendant of the ancestors. I am asking the second uncle and the seventh uncle why they want to offend the Huanhua Sword Sect?"

"It's okay to take refuge in 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 for a small person like us. The family can bear it! Do 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 Tang family would definitely be affected first, and the rivers of blood would definitely not be a joke.

By six doors? If it is reasonable, the Six Sects would not dare to pursue the disciples of the Huanhua Sword Sect, but if they offend the Huanhua Sword Sect first, the Six Sects would probably turn a blind eye to prevent the fight from affecting innocent civilians. The Huanhua Sword Sect and the Wang family were almost at war before they came out to mediate. At that time, it might be the Tang family who was sacrificed in exchange for stability!

"Second Uncle, you are just taking on the responsibility of the head of the family. How can you make such a big decision rashly?" Meng Qi 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, we can only 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.

Mr. Tang said solemnly: "But he has already escaped."

"He escaped, and his immediate family members did not escape. They must be punished. If he does not return, the punishment will be increased!" Meng Qi said coldly.
