Is Zhao Kaishan going to die?
After listening to the old servant's report, Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and stood in front of the old servant, and asked in a low voice: "Is he dying? Is this true? Did the doctor say it?"
The old servant paused.
"The little old man is so deeply favored by you, how dare he lie to you? Madam asked the little old man to bring the news to Da Lang as soon as possible, and asked Da Lang to see the commander, but as soon as the little old man left the house, he came directly to You are here, you are the first to know about this."
After hearing this, Zhao Xiang quickly regained his composure from the shock and nodded.
"You have done a good job. If this matter ends smoothly, I will reward you with another house and a thousand acres of land! I will give it to you together with the previous ones to ensure that you can spend your old age in peace and that your family will be prosperous and wealthy!"
"Thank you, General!"
The old servant was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank Zhao Xiang.
The old servant has been bribed by Zhao Xiang at a very high price, and many people in the Zhao family have also bribed him, just to get the first-hand information about Zhao Kaishan as soon as possible so as to seize the initiative.
In fact, Zhao Xiang didn't want to bring things to this point. It was Zhao Yucheng who was so aggressive, arrogant, and settling scores that he couldn't bear.
It's just that I told him hello, me, hello, everyone, but he pretended he didn't understand and just wanted to play a trick with everyone to settle the matter.
This makes it clear that if you don’t give everyone a piece of cake, how can everyone watch you really become the leader?
How dare a young boy dare to confront us?
Zhao Xiang and a group of Zhao family leaders came to a conclusion after secret deliberations.
One thing that Zhao Kaishan kept talking about was that the Liberation Army must be named Zhao. If the Liberation Army no longer has the surname Zhao, does everything else have meaning?
So as long as the Liberation Army still has the surname Zhao, at least it will be the same to the leaders of the Zhao family.
Then the problem arises.
Everyone’s surname is Zhao.
You, Zhao Yucheng, are not the only ones with the surname Zhao.
Zhao Kaishan's Zhao and Zhao Xiang's Zhao are both Zhao. As long as the surname is Zhao, what difference does it make about who controls the Zhao family and the Liberation Army?
Zhao Kaishan couldn't help it.
Zhao Yucheng is an iron fool again.
So a group of people discussed and discussed, and finally decided to let Zhao Xiang, who has the most seniority, replace Zhao Kaishan as the leader of the Liberation Army. At the same time, Zhao Xiang's branch will replace Zhao Kaishan's branch and become the main line of the Zhao family. Xiang became the family patriarch.
Anyway, to be honest, there are no two Zhaos in this sentence. As long as the Liberation Army still has the surname Zhao, it is not unacceptable.
All the Zhao clan members have figured this out, and as a community of interests, they decided to unite to support Zhao Xiang as his replacement.
Zhao Xiang was a little hesitant at first, but faced with everyone's compliments and the temptation of power, Zhao Xiang quickly put Zhao Kaishan's trust in him behind and prepared to have a real-life small sect take over the big sect to achieve Life’s counterattacks and twists of fate.
He succeeded.
Zhao Yucheng did not notice that this dangerous alliance was achieved, nor did he notice that the Zhao family was penetrated like a sieve. It can only be said that he was still too young.
So when Mrs. Zhao discovered that the first person who came to "visit the patient" was not Zhao Yucheng but Zhao Xiang, she was instantly stunned.
Not to mention that Zhao Xiang did not come alone, but brought many fully armed soldiers from the Selective Army, who completely controlled the Zhao Mansion inside and out, and replaced and disarmed all the guards originally arranged by Zhao Yucheng.
The suppression of military force made everything a foregone conclusion.
"Uncle Six? Why are you here?"
Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Xiang who led the troops into Zhao Mansion in great shock.
Zhao Xiang looked sad.
"I heard that my brother was seriously ill, so I rushed here in a hurry...Brother! Brother! Brother ah!!!"
Zhao Xiang walked to Zhao Kaishan's bedside in tears and looked at Zhao Kaishan who was pale and weak in the hospital bed with tears.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't understand this scene for a while, until she saw the old servant who was supposed to bring Zhao Yucheng in with the soldiers, and she suddenly understood everything.
"You traitor! What on earth did you do! You actually betrayed the official! You actually betrayed the official!!"
Mrs. Zhao became angry and rushed forward to hit the old servant, but was held down by the soldiers around her.
Zhao Xiang turned around and gave an impatient look, and an officer in the lead stepped forward and knocked Mrs. Zhao unconscious to the ground with a knife, scaring Zhao Yucheng's several underage brothers and sisters into crying.
This burst of movement woke up Zhao Kaishan, who had been sleeping. He opened his eyes with difficulty and vaguely saw someone beside his bed, who seemed to be his son Zhao Yucheng.
Yucheng is here?
Okay, okay, I have a lot to say to Yucheng...
"Yucheng...Yucheng...my son, I have a lot to say to you..."
Zhao Kaishan called in a low voice.
"Brother, it's me, not Yucheng. Yucheng is at work and can't come. Brother, if you need anything, just tell me."
Zhao Xiang held Zhao Kaishan's withered hand.
Zhao Kaishan seemed to be a little confused, calling Zhao Yucheng's name, and it took him a while to wake up, and at a glance he saw that the person beside his bed was not Zhao Yucheng, but Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang's earnest face was reflected in his pupils. He was immediately dissatisfied and frowned.
"Why are you here?"
Zhao Xiang said warmly: "My brother is sick, and I come to visit him. Isn't this a natural thing?"
Zhao Kaishan took a few breaths and gathered some strength.
"Where's Yucheng?"
"Yucheng is at the office and very busy."
"Let Yucheng come to see me... I have a lot of things to tell him, and he must know..."
"Yucheng is too busy and can't come. If brother has anything to say, just tell me."
Zhao Xiang held Zhao Kaishan's hand tightly: "It's the same as what I told you. I also want to know a lot of things."
Zhao Kaishan frowned tightly and seemed to want to break away from Zhao Xiang's hand, but he was too weak and had no strength to break free.
Then he gave up and tried to break free.
"Let Yucheng come to see me."
He repeated these words.
Zhao Xiang replied to Zhao Kaishan with the same sentence.
"Yucheng is too busy and can't come. If brother has anything to say, just tell me and I will tell Yucheng."
After going back and forth several times, Zhao Kaishan seemed to recognize the reality and realized that something was wrong.
He stared at Zhao Xiang.
"Zhao Xiang, why are you in my room?"
"I'm here to visit my brother. My brother is sick, so I come to visit him. Isn't this natural?"
"Where is the madam? Where is my child?"
"They are all here, they are all here, brother, don't worry, I will take good care of them."
"take care of?"
Zhao Kaishan frowned and said: "What are you taking care of? Who wants you to take care of it? Call Yucheng! Yucheng! Yucheng...cough cough cough cough! Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough..."
Zhao Kaishan started coughing violently when he became angry. Zhao Xiang just watched, motionless.
After Zhao Kaishan finished coughing and rested for a while, he spoke again.
"Zhao Xiang, I order you to bring Yucheng...!"
"Brother, I'm right here. Just tell me. Why do you need to call me Yucheng?"
"You dare to betray me?"
Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"How could it be, brother? My surname is also Zhao. How could I betray our Zhao family? I just want to inherit my brother's name."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kaishan's eyes suddenly widened.
"Zhao Xiang, I treat you well, but you actually... actually..."
Zhao Xiang nodded.
"Brother has been as kind to me as a mountain, and of course it is not small. I will always remember your kindness in my heart."
"Then why did you...betray me!"
Zhao Kaishan stared at Zhao Xiang: "Yucheng! Call Yucheng... here..."
Zhao Xiang sighed deeply.
"Brother, I don't want to do this either. The main reason is that Yucheng is too young and too impulsive. He has just been the commander for a few days and he has to thoroughly investigate the land and money matters. Brother, you also know that our tribe, Which one is clean? Aren’t the so-called public fields all divided by us?
My brother is a talented man and doesn't care about such trivial matters, so we can safely follow him to fight against gold and do big things. However, Yucheng insists on finding out the reason, and the public land must be investigated clearly, and we must To punish our sins is to go against the entire Liberation Army, and I am helpless. "
Zhao Xiang looked at the weak Zhao Kaishan with regret.
"I made this move out of necessity. It was not my original intention. It was the intention of the entire family. I was also pushed to the position. Please forgive me, brother. But don't worry, brother, my sister-in-law and Yucheng brothers and sisters will definitely do it. It’s safe. I will never forget my brother’s promotion and kindness to me.”
After hearing this, Zhao Kaishan was stunned for a long time, and then his body seemed to be shaking uncontrollably, and his tone also contained a bit of emotion.
Probably angry.
"Zhao Xiang...you dare...you dare...to do such a thing...you..."
After saying "you" for a long time, Zhao Kaishan couldn't finish his sentence.
I only saw his face flushed, twisting his body vigorously, fluttering his right hand several times, lifting it a little, and then dropped it on the bed. He lifted it up again and dropped it again. He still didn't have the strength to lift his arm. .
He stared straight at Zhao Xiang, his mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to hit Zhao Xiang once or twice in the face and slap him hard to vent his anger, but he couldn't.
His body was completely out of control.
At the last moment of his life, Zhao Kaishan looked so fragile and desperate.
Zhao Xiang looked at Zhao Kaishan's appearance, and the last bit of awe for him in his heart disappeared without a trace. The once majestic head of the Zhao family in his eyes no longer existed.
What was in front of him now was just a poor man who was obviously going to die but was stubborn and unwilling to admit that he was going to die.
Is everyone so pitiful before they die?
So desperate, so fragile, as if she could strangle him to death with just one hand.
Will the strong and stalwart Zhao Kaishan ever have such a day?
Isn't it too ironic that the commander who could direct an army of 100,000 people to march forward bravely with a wave of his hand could not even lift his hand at the last moment of his life? He couldn't even slap someone in the face.
The boundary between life and death was so vividly displayed in front of Zhao Xiang's eyes that Zhao Xiang couldn't help but start thinking about this philosophical question.
Of course, he didn't come to any meaningful conclusions.
Zhao Kaishan finally failed to do what he wanted to do.
After a few sigh-like sounds came out of his throat, Zhao Kaishan died, the last light in his eyes went out, and he died on the bed.
Zhao Kaishan's posture when he died was very strange. He looked directly at Zhao Xiang with a look of death.
Zhao Xiang looked at Zhao Kaishan's death and was very unhappy, especially dissatisfied with Zhao Kaishan's eyes, so he reached out to hit him, closed Zhao Kaishan's eyes, and pushed his whole body inward. At least he died looking peaceful.
The dust has settled.
