"Haha, you guessed it right. I am indeed going to inherit the Chen family, and the time will be faster than you think!" Chen Hongyuan said with a smile.
"No way? Brother Hongyuan, are you kidding us?" Everyone was shocked. This seems impossible, right?
Although Chen Hongyuan has just become the senior minister of the Chen family, he has already been recognized by some of the senior officials of the Chen family. But it's not that easy to succeed as the head of the Chen family.
After all, Chen Tianxing did not have the final say on this matter alone. He also had to get the consent of the majority of the Presbyterian Church.
Moreover, it was still very early for Chen Tianxing to abdicate. How could he directly determine his successor so early?
"Do you think I'm joking with you? I didn't expect that what Brother Cheng said before would come true. He has made a great contribution to this Hongmen Banquet!" Chen Hongyuan said with a smile.
"What do you mean? Could it be that Junior Brother Yu helped you get the position of the head of the family? Isn't that impossible? Didn't he just fall out with the Chen family? Why am I a little confused?" Xinhai said.
"Actually, I was a little confused. After I went to Houshan, the person who wanted to find me was not my father, but a high-status ancestor of the Chen family. He asked me some things, and then decided to The position of head of the Chen family has been passed to me!
And it's just the wedding day of Brother Xinluo and Xinran, so I say it won't be too long before you two get married. "Chen Hongyuan said with excitement.
"Tell me, what is going on? Why did it become like this?" Everyone was obviously very excited.
I originally thought that things would get very bad today, but I didn't expect that this reversal would happen so quickly. Chen Hongyuan would become the head of the Chen family after such a long time. This is really unfathomable.
"The thing is like this..." So Chen Hongyuan recounted the conversation he had with his ancestor in the back mountain.
"That's it? So they are going for Junior Brother Yu's formation?" everyone said after knowing the details of the matter.
"I think it should be like this. So, Brother Cheng, this time I have already promised in front of my ancestor that you will help me when the time comes, right?" Chen Hongyuan looked at Cheng Yu expectantly.
To be honest, although Chen Hongning has confirmed that he will pass on the position of head of the Chen family to him, he has also promised Chen Hongning.
As long as he becomes the head of the Chen family, he will definitely find a way to make the Chen family rise. And what is the fastest way to rise? Of course it is Cheng Yu's formation.
"I didn't say I would set up a formation for you!" Cheng Yu said.
"No, Brother Cheng, I have issued a military order this time. I must lead the Chen family to rise, otherwise I will be finished!" Chen Hongyuan's face collapsed and he said with a tragic look.
"This is your business. I am not your Chen family. Even if you become the head of the Chen family, you are the one who will lead the rise of the Chen family, not me!"
"I know that this is indeed the case, but if Brother Cheng helps me arrange two formations, wouldn't my chance of leading the Chen family to rise be greater? Brother Cheng, you must help me this time!" Chen Hongyuan Said nervously.
To be honest, he does have some methods in mind to lead the Chen family to rise, but the results will definitely not be that fast.
Therefore, he hopes that Cheng Yu can give him some assistance. If there is any assistance in this world that is the fastest, it must be Cheng Yu's formation.
"You know the meaning of this formation. It is impossible for me to arrange so many formations for your Chen family on a large scale!" Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
This matter was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. He did not expect that the old man Chen Hongning would do something like this.
Because of what he had done before, the relationship between the Chen family and him could be said to have returned to zero, or even worse than zero.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for the Chen family to obtain his formation. The most he can do is arrange another formation for the Chen family, which is the betrothal gift for Xinluo and Xinran.
This is what he promised in the back mountain before. No matter what the Chen family does, the formation he promised will still be arranged for them.
But from what Chen Hongyuan said just now, it can be heard that this old guy Chen Hongning is really good at abacus. In order to regain his relationship with the Chen family, Chen Hongyuan was directly asked to take over as the head of the Chen family.
In this case, his relationship with the Chen family will be irreversible.
In fact, he had previously considered what would happen after Chen Hongyuan became the head of the family, and he did intend to help lead the rise of the Chen family.
It was indeed a good thing for him to have such a helper, but that old guy Chen Hongning was so calculating that he came so directly in order to get his formation.
This needs to make him think carefully about whether this old guy has other plans, and don't accidentally fall into the old guy's trap again.
"Brother Cheng, I don't care anymore. This time I put my life in your hands. You must save me!" Chen Hongyuan was really willing to risk his life and knelt down in front of Cheng Yu and said.
"Get up first!" Cheng Yu said speechlessly.
I didn't expect Chen Hongyuan to have such a rogue side.
"No, I have already issued this military order. If the ancestor knows that I can't ask you to help arrange the formation, then I am really doomed!" Chen Hongyuan said sadly.
"Okay, okay! Let me think about it first. This matter is not as simple as you said. Haven't you not become the head of the Chen family yet?
Besides, even if you become the head of the Chen family, I can't possibly arrange a bunch of formations for you right away, right? "Cheng Yu said helplessly.
"Brother Cheng is really interesting. As long as you say this, I will feel relieved! As long as Brother Cheng promises me, I can also swear to Brother Cheng that the Chen family will never be detrimental to Brother Cheng in the future!" Chen Hongyuan said happily.
"The oath you made is of no use. Your father abdicated as soon as he said so. In the final analysis, the position of the head of the Chen family is still decided by the ancestor of the Chen family.
If your ancestor has ill intentions towards my Junior Brother Yu, you can’t control it! Xinhai said disdainfully.
"Having said that, my ancestor usually doesn't pay attention to the Chen family's affairs. If it weren't because my father made a mistake this time and brought the matter to the back mountain, otherwise my ancestor would never care about this kind of thing. of!
Besides, if the ancestors really want to harm Brother Cheng, I will definitely stand on Brother Cheng’s side, even if it means risking my own life! "Chen Hongyuan said seriously.
"Let's put this aside. Even if your ancestor really wants to deal with me, I won't be very worried. But let me remind you first that it's okay to help you set up the formation, but it is absolutely impossible for me to tell the Chen family the secret of the formation. , you have to understand this!" Cheng Yu said.
"Don't worry, I didn't promise you to give them the secret of the formation, as long as you have this formation!" Chen Hongyuan said happily.
