close mad son-in-law
Chapter 625
The next day, Xu Qiang received an invitation from the elder of the Meng family to have dinner with him.
"Sorry, I've been making arrangements for the Patriarch these two days, but I haven't forgotten our agreement!" As soon as we met, the First Elder apologized to Xu Qiang.
The agreement he said was not to give Xu Qiang a single treasure, but to choose one from the secret library of the Meng family.
"It's okay, I understand!" Xu Qiang smiled, as long as he didn't forget.
He also knew that the Great Elder was very busy. On the one hand, he had to settle the Patriarch well, and he must not reveal that the Patriarch was not dead, otherwise the Patriarch might be in danger.
On the other hand, the mourning hall of the Patriarch was burned to ashes, which is no small matter.
The Meng family is a top-notch force in Bingcheng. When the head of the family died, someone actually set fire to the mourning hall and burned the head of the family to ashes. Of course, we must investigate clearly.
And the Great Elder has to keep an eye on the progress of the investigation, so he must not be investigated.
"Thank you for your understanding, let's have dinner first, and then I will take you there tonight!" the Great Elder said.
He explained to Xu Qiang that not everyone can enter the secret vault of the Meng family. Under normal circumstances, only three people have the authority to enter.
The Supreme Elder, the head of the Meng family, and the great elder of the Meng family.
Only these three people can directly enter the secret vault, and for others to enter, no matter what the reason, they need the consent of two of the three, and one of the thirty must be brought in. The procedures are quite cumbersome, so Only in this way can the security of the secret library be guaranteed.
Now that the Supreme Elder is dead, the head of the family cannot come forward, so only the Great Elder brought Xu Qiang in.
It was already late at night when the two arrived at the secret vault.
"You all go outside and guard!" The Meng family's secret library is deep in the Meng family's manor, located in the center of the manor.
There are multiple security measures, which can be said to be heavily guarded. Once someone with malicious intentions triggers the alarm, they will immediately be surrounded by the Meng family.
Fortunately, the Great Elder is a person with authority. After recognizing the Great Elder, the person in charge of protection immediately obeyed the order.
Taking advantage of the moment when all the guards were driven out by the elder, Xu Qiang rushed in without attracting anyone's attention.
Seeing Xu Qiang rushing in, the Great Elder let out a sigh of relief.
The guards of the secret storehouse were all the elite of the family, he was really worried that Xu Qiang would not be able to get in, or that he would find out when he came in.
Facts proved that his worry was unnecessary. The blood sugar floated in like a ghost, and it didn't attract attention at all, even if it passed over their heads.
Being able to do this proved that Xu Qiang was much stronger than the guards.
The secret library is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
The external defenses are very tight. Without the cooperation of the Great Elder, it can be said that not even a fly can fly in.
But once you enter the secret vault, the situation is quite different.
Inside, there are basically no defensive measures. It is a large underground warehouse, and a three-story building is built above the warehouse.
The gate of the secret vault has no key at all, it is an ancient mechanism door.
Only by mastering the correct opening method can the door be opened, otherwise the mechanism will be triggered to form a closed and strong cage.
"A lot of treasures..." Entering the secret vault, Xu Qiang's eyes were a little dazed.
There are so many good things!
All kinds of precious medicinal materials come in batches.
There are also some other precious materials, which are also stored in batches.
The background of the aristocratic family is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people, and Xu Qiang has learned a lot.
"Look, this ginseng is 300 years old, and it is very well preserved..." The elder took a ginseng and introduced it carefully to Xu Qiang.
good stuff!
Xu Qiang's saliva is about to flow out. Such precious medicinal materials are usually only available at large auctions, and not every time.
Because with the development of the wild environment by humans, there are fewer and fewer areas suitable for wild medicinal materials, and of course there are fewer and fewer wild medicinal materials.
Although some countries have realized this and started to protect the environment.
But after all, it has just begun. Although the protection efforts are not small, if we want to see results, I am afraid it will be years or decades later.
So this kind of wild medicinal materials, especially those hundreds of years old, are extremely precious.
"Do you want me to take the ginseng?" Xu Qiang smiled.
"It's not my wish, it depends on your needs!" The First Elder smiled awkwardly, Xu Qiang saw through his little plan.
He enthusiastically introduced 300-year-old ginseng to Xu Qiang, because he didn't want Xu Qiang to take away too precious items.
As for the 300-year-old ginseng, although it is very precious, it is definitely not the most precious in the secret library of the Meng family.
Xu Qiang continued to occupy it, and the Great Elder followed him all the time.
"What's in it?" Soon, in an inconspicuous corner, Xu Qiang saw a jade box, the size of which was only a little bigger than a fist.
"Look for yourself!" The Great Elder was a little helpless.
Xu Qiang smiled, of course he knew it was a good thing.
He doesn't know many things in the Meng family's secret library, so he can only distinguish them by cheating, that is, by looking at the aura of each treasure.
The jade box in front of him, although not amazing in appearance, has the most powerful aura.
Xu Qiang immediately determined that what was contained in the jade box was definitely one of the most precious treasures in the secret treasury, and the expression of the Great Elder also proved it.
Xu Qiang took it and opened it.
Inside is a piece of egg-sized substance, which looks like a piece of jade, a little soft to the touch, and radiates colorful brilliance.
"It turned out to be a piece of chalcedony?" Xu Qiang was surprised.
Chalcedony is the essence of jade.
To produce a piece of chalcedony, there must be a jade mine, and a high-quality jade mine, only then can a piece of chalcedony be produced.
It is possible but not certain!
Chalcedony can be said to be the essence of the entire jade mine.
It can be used to refine medicine and practice equipment, and has a wide range of uses, but because it is too precious, most people are reluctant to use it.
Xu Qiang never expected that there was actually a piece of chalcedony in the Meng family.
"Do you want it?" Seeing that Xu Qiang chose chalcedony, the Great Elder's face was a little ugly.
The last thing he wanted Xu Qiang to get was the chalcedony placed in an inconspicuous corner.
He just introduced ginseng, deer antler, and ganoderma to Xu Qiang just now, not because he was afraid that Xu Qiang would find chalcedony and take away the most precious materials from the Meng family's secret storehouse.
However, it turns out that everything he did was useless.
Xu Qiang still chose chalcedony, and you seem to like it very much, once you pick it up, you won't put it down, as if you can't put it down.
"That's it, no problem?" Xu Qiang smiled.
He didn't know that chalcedony was not the most precious of the Meng family, but he knew it was the most suitable for him.
Because chalcedony can be swallowed directly to improve his strength, and he just needs to quickly improve his strength, so he chose chalcedony.
"No problem, as long as you like it!" The Great Elder smiled awkwardly.
Just because he doesn't want Xu Qiang to take the chalcedony doesn't mean he will stop Xu Qiang from taking the chalcedony, because he knows that the consequences of stopping it will be serious.
He personally promised to let Xu Qiang choose one from the secret storehouse.
If he repents now and disagrees with Xu Qiang taking the chalcedony, I am afraid Xu Qiang will turn his face immediately.
Once they turned their backs, under the circumstances that Xu Qiang's force had an absolute advantage, it might not just be the chalcedony that was taken away.
After choosing, the two left the secret vault.
"Second Elder, you can't go in..." As soon as the two arrived at the door, they heard the voice of the guard outside.
Second Elder?
Hearing the so-called address, the Great Elder's face darkened, why is it this lingering guy again?
Ever since the Patriarch fell ill, the Second Elder has been against him everywhere, with a look of confidence, making him a little helpless.
The Great Elder, although he is the head of all the elders, is rather special.
But it is only a bit higher than other elders, with a bit more ability, and does not have an absolute advantage.
If the Second Elder didn't agree with him, at most he would reprimand him, and he couldn't really do anything to the Second Elder.
"What should I do?" The Great Elder glanced at Xu Qiang.
If the second elder saw him and Xu Qiang, it would be a big trouble.
"Open the door, adapt to the situation!" Xu Qiang jumped up and stuck to the roof. Fortunately, the roof of the ancient small building can be used for hiding.
The First Elder nodded, as long as Xu Qiang hid it well, he would not be afraid of the Second Elder.
When I opened the door, I saw the two elders who were entangled with the guards.
"Second Elder, what are you doing?" The Great Elder spoke out first.
"What am I doing? What am I going to ask you? Why do you suffer alone? Are you pocketing your own money?" the second elder asked.
He also rushed over after receiving a report that the Great Elder had gone to the secret vault.
Because he knows very well that there are too many good things in the family secret library, and every one of them makes him greedy.
It's a pity that as the second elder, although he has entered many times, he has no right to enter alone, only the head of the family or the first elder can enter.
"You have no right to ask!" The Great Elder snorted coldly.
He is because of the First Elder, even if the Second Elder has doubts about him, he has no right to investigate him and can only suggest to the Patriarch and others.
"Hmph, it's time for the family to be troubled, and I have an obligation to protect the family's property and prevent some people from stealing it!"
"I'll say it again, you have no right to ask, leave immediately..." the Great Elder scolded again with a cold face.
"You must be guilty, well, since you said I have no right to ask, I'll call everyone..." The second elder rolled his eyes and had an idea.
In terms of authority, he really has no right to ask.
But the authority belongs to the authority. If he calls the other elders and forces the first elder to give an explanation, the first elder will have a hard time, right?
Ah!
When the second elder was about to call the other elders, he suddenly let out a scream and covered his chest with both hands.
"Oops, why is my heart hurting so much? I am a super power user. I am very healthy. I don't have a heart attack at all. How can I have angina pectoris?" The second elder was pale and speechless, but he knew very well in his heart that his heart was in severe pain. It came so suddenly.
There was no sign at all in advance, and it came as soon as it was said, and it was like a scourge when it came.
"Second Elder, what's the matter with you?" The First Elder looked at it and was stunned. What's the matter?
Then he realized that Xu Qiang must have done it.
Of course he guessed right, Xu Qiang saw the second elder pestering him endlessly, and even called the other elders, so of course the second elder got what he wanted.
Wuyingshenzhen activates!
The invisible long and thin needle directly pierced the Second Elder's chest and penetrated along an acupuncture point, but the Second Elder didn't notice it in time.
In an instant, it stabbed the second elder's heart.
Xu Qiang didn't think about killing him, at least it wasn't the time yet, he just made the second elder feel so painful that he couldn't die.
"You guys, hurry up, send the Second Elder away quickly, and ask the doctor to show the Second Elder..." the First Elder immediately spoke.
Seeing the pain of the second elder, the people who came with the second elder did not dare to neglect, and helped the second elder to see a doctor like flying.
Xu Qiang took the opportunity to leave without anyone noticing.
Even the Great Elder sent him a signal after Xu Qiang left, and he found out that Xu Qiang had left, and then he also left.
"Sorry, I've been making arrangements for the Patriarch these two days, but I haven't forgotten our agreement!" As soon as we met, the First Elder apologized to Xu Qiang.
