In the eldest grandson's house, eldest grandson Wuji sat in the head of the family's seat without expression or saying a word.
Sitting below were several elders of the Changsun family, as well as Changsun Chong, who was still injured.
At this time, what they were sitting together to discuss was what they had just learned about Luo Zhang's passing the imperial examination, being named a fifth-rank official, and the first-rank wife of the Qin family of the Luo family.
"Tell me what you think!" Changsun Wuji glanced at everyone and said.
"Master, now Luo Zhang cannot act rashly. We still need to take a long-term approach!" The fourth elder pondered for a while and was the first to speak.
"Don't act rashly? Think about it in the long term? Shouldn't Lao Ba's revenge be avenged? Haven't you seen Lao Ba's miserable condition? It's all done by this vicious boy. I don't care what you think, I won't let him go. Yes!" The Seventh Elder slapped the table and said angrily. He had a very good relationship with the Eighth Elder. Seeing what happened to the Eighth Elder, how could he not be angry? He wanted to trouble Luo Zhang before, but was ignored by Changsun Wu. Ji stopped drinking. Now that the fourth elder said such words, he naturally felt unhappy. He wished he could go to war with the Luo family directly, so that he could avenge Lao Ba!
"It is natural to avenge, but we must not be reckless. Now he is a popular person in front of His Majesty. If we touch him at this time, it is tantamount to slapping His Majesty in the face. Do you really think that His Majesty is easy to talk to and dare not touch our eldest son's family? That is not the case now. A few years ago, my sister was still alive! You have to understand this!" The fourth elder was scolded by the seventh elder, and he got angry and retaliate!
"Fourth, Seventh, you all calm down, Lao Seven, what Lao Four said is indeed right. We must calm down at this time and must not be reckless. Revenge is naturally not difficult, but you have forgotten that we have sent people to assassinate Luo Zhangque before. Have you been tricked by him? So far, Lao Chang has not been brought back. If you attack again, you must be absolutely foolproof and kill with one strike. If you are not so sure, just endure it!" The third elder stood up and said.
"How long can we endure it? This time Luo Zhang has been assigned to the fifth rank of officials. How old is this kid? If we keep this pace, will we be able to deal with him in a few years? By then there will be no chance! We can only take advantage of him The best opportunity to take action is not growing up!" The seventh elder argued with reason.
"I think what Lao Qi said makes sense. Although Luo Zhang has caught His Majesty's eye now, he is still young and has fledgling. If we wait a few years and his wings are full, we won't be able to touch him again. It's so easy!" the fifth elder said helpfully.
"I think it's better not to take action for the time being..."
"I think we should start as soon as possible..."
For a while, the whole hall turned into a quarrel. The elders refused to give in to each other and argued with each other. They all felt that what he said was reasonable. Only two people did not participate. One was naturally Changsun Wuji, who was sitting as firmly as a Diaoyutai, and the other was The youngest Changsun Chong, it's not that he doesn't want to participate, but he has no say at all. Here are all the old guys in the family, so it's his turn to speak, and there are a lot of complaints in the family about his failure in the battle with Luo Zhang. , so he didn’t want to attract attention, so naturally he didn’t want to speak.
Changsun Chong didn't want to speak, but someone wanted him to speak. As they chatted, the words came to him.
I heard someone say: "If Luo Zhang hadn't come to Chong'er to ask for a debt, and Lao Ba had stopped him, how could it have turned out like this!"
This was said by the seventh elder. As soon as the words came out, the other elders who were still arguing all stopped and looked at Changsun Chong.
It is true that Changsun Chong cannot escape from this matter, but no one has mentioned it before. After all, without Changsun Chong, the Eighth Elder would not be like that. Who told Changsun Chong to confront Luo Zhang during the war? bet? You said you would forget it if you won, but you lost, and forget it if you lost. You just give money to others, and you don't default on the debt, causing them to come to the Sun family to ask for money.
Of course, this is just standing up and talking without pain in the back, five thousand gold, this is not a small number, how can you just give it to me? If it were any of the elders, they would immediately think of denying the debt instead of giving money. But now that the matter has not fallen on them, naturally they can say whatever they want!
Being called out, Changsun Chong cursed in his heart, "The labor and management have been so low-key, and you are still holding on to the labor and management. Is that what I want to lose?" Is that what I want to bet on? Is it okay if I don’t gamble under the circumstances?
If you don't dare to accept the challenge, then you will blame me for losing the face of the eldest grandson family. Labor and management are easy for me. For this reason, labor and management have become eunuchs. What else do you want?
Changsun Chong roared in his heart, but he did not dare to say these words. Once he said it, he would become the target of public criticism and be attacked by all the elders. Even Changsun Wuji would not be able to protect him.
Seeing that the elders finally stopped arguing, Changsun Wuji finally said: "This matter has nothing to do with Chong'er. I asked him to bet at that time. If I didn't bet, what would be the face of my eldest grandson family? How could that boy be despicable and shameless? The previous game led to a battle between Chong'er and Duguhong. Although Chong'er won, it was a miserable victory. Only then did he lose the battle with Luo Zhang. As for Lao Ba, you all know that if Lao Ba wasn't so Impulsiveness won’t be like this, so don’t mention this matter again! For now, let’s talk about Luo Zhang!”
Changsun Wuji took over the matter, and the elders naturally did not dare to say anything more. Even though they had their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, they restrained themselves at this time. After all, this is a big family, and who doesn’t want their children to live at home? , why not do it if you can bring down Changsun Chong!
"I still have the same point of view. Luo Zhang can't move for the time being. We need to think about it in the long term!" the fourth elder said.
"I think we can send someone to assassinate him without causing any further trouble and let him grow up!" The seven elders refused to give in to each other.
Before the other elders could speak, Changsun Chong took the lead and said, "I think it's not impossible to take action, but we need to understand the reality of the Luo family. Uncles, there is something I didn't report. I contacted Qi the day before yesterday. Qilian Sanjie went to deal with Luo Zhang. Did you know? Except for the eldest brother of Qilian Sanjie, almost all the others were wiped out. The second and third eldest sons were captured, and all of his more than 20 Qi Sensing Realm masters were killed, so This Luo Zhang must not be underestimated!"
Changsun Chong's words were tantamount to a bombshell, which shocked all the elders. Three True Yuan Realm experts brought more than 20 Fame Sense Realms to the Luo family, but their entire army was annihilated? Just one person escaped? What's happening here? Is the Luo family that powerful? Is it the dragon's pond and the tiger's den?
"Chong'er, are you telling the truth? This is no joke!" the seventh elder asked hurriedly!
"Everything I said is true. I reported this matter to my father. As for the one who escaped, he has not given up on assassinating Luo Zhang. I have given him enough money. He will take action as long as there is a chance. As for us I don’t think it’s necessary to get involved in the Changsun family for the time being. It’s not too late to wait until the true and false status of the Luo family is investigated before taking action! As for how the elders will choose, I don’t have much to say!” Although Changsun Chong doesn’t want to see the seventh elder, he still No disrespect intended, I replied to him.
The Seventh Elder was silent now. He was no longer as aggressive as before. He was not a fool. Knowing that the Luo family was so unfathomable, if he continued to clamor for revenge from the Luo family, he would be seeking death!
As for the fourth elder, he was not complacent. He had just argued with the seventh elder and his face was red. They just had different opinions. In the final analysis, they still considered the family and relied on the family. That would be a gain for both, and a loss for both. If the family fell, they would also suffer. of.
After listening to Zhang Sun Chong's words, the fourth elder frowned even more tightly. The situation was much worse than he thought. This was different from what he originally thought.
"I agree with Chong'er's opinion. We don't need to do anything for the time being. We'll send out all the people to investigate the situation of the Luo family. It would be best if a few people can get in. Even if it doesn't work, we must find out clearly. As for Luo Zhang, you all Don’t forget how those members of the Luo family died. There is a feud between our family and the Luo family, and it is impossible to reconcile it, so either he dies or we die. As long as we understand the situation of the Luo family clearly, it will be his Luo family. When the family is destroyed!" Changsun Wuji finally made his decision.
After hearing this, all the elders were shocked, and they all bowed and went to make arrangements.
Only Changsun Chong and Changsun Wuji were left in the room.
"Is your injury feeling better?"
