I Persuade People With Reason

In the early morning, a thin and moist mist filled the sky and the earth, and the Yinhui City shrouded in the mist was built of silver glazed stones that were covered in silver. Soft silver glow.

Outside the city gate, two tall and strong pure-bred "dragon elephant horses" with lion-like snow-white manes and elephants came dressed in the wet morning mist, pulling a seemingly mediocre horse behind them. Strange dark carriage.

An old man dressed in gray and wearing a shawl on his head sat in the cab and acted as a driver.

The tall dragon, like a horse, came galloping like the wind, and the gust of wind blew up the curtain of the carriage, revealing a snow-white shirt and indistinct sparse eyebrows.

The carriage ran all the way, without any intention of stopping, it was about to rush directly into the city. The guard at the gate of the city was about to step forward to stop it, but the old man who had been sitting quietly in front of him and acted as the driver raised his head. The guard who was still full of anger and tried to step forward to stop the carriage suddenly changed his face, and immediately he was busy. ? Retreat to both sides one after another.

"—Damn it! How could it be? It's the copper mountain steward? How could he? Returning from outside the city?"

"Fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly, I almost offended the confidant of the Lord of the City!"

Several people secretly said that they were unlucky, and each glanced at each other, with a bit of gossip, and couldn't help but whisper.

"...Could the gossip from the City Lord's Mansion be true? The Lord City Lord wants to take the eldest son back to inherit the family business, so he secretly sent a housekeeper to pick him up?"

"No? That's right. What's wrong with this? Why do you hide it?"

"Hey! Not yet? You're guarding that one..."

As residents who were born and raised in Yinhui City, they knew very well that not long after the eldest son ran away in anger, the young lady was also married to the outer city. The city lord only had the second son, the second son, for the sake of the city. To avoid repeating the same mistakes, he also specially found a suitable marriage for the second son, and now even the eldest grandson is more than ten years old.

Everyone has acquiesced that the second son is the future heir of Yinhui City, but the old city lord came and started to miss his obedient eldest son. Who knows what was in his mind? Do you just want to see your son once, or do you plan to make him the heir?

Or, even if the old city lord originally only wanted to see his son, what if the eldest son, who had been suffering for many years, took a second look at the wealth of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord was confused and soft-hearted, and he gave birth to his son after seeing his son. What if you have other thoughts?

- If the second son thinks like this, he will definitely be willing to let the eldest brother come back; and if the old city owner is worried that the second son thinks like this, naturally he can only pick up people quietly.

While a group of guards gossip and gossip, they can't bear to live in the dark and maliciously speculate on the minds of the big men.

The situation of the City Lord's Mansion, was it for nothing? He heard the housekeeper say it, but, he did not participate in the idea of ​​​​this house fight, just wanted to use the Silver City as a springboard to let himself have Just a proper identity?

As for who the inheritance right of Yinhui City ultimately belongs to, it ultimately depends on the old city owner. If the other party is really dead for a long time, then the only candidate for successor is the second son. Even if you really want to choose grandchildren, the first son and daughter of the eldest son are still young, and the second son has two older and well-bred sons. No matter what, it's not a turn to two children who came back halfway.

The only chance for these two little friends who were brought back by the original is that the old city master can survive, and has a long lifespan, and there is enough time to select and test the heirs, and if they can There is still hope for rapid growth in the future.

Regrettably, God probably didn't favor it. When the carriage returned to the city lord's mansion unimpeded, the two little guys had just been led off the carriage by the steward, and the faint cries were already coming from the city lord's mansion. came from everywhere.

The old housekeeper's face turned pale immediately, his body trembled, and he ran to the place where the old city master lived.

The two children ran bewilderedly behind him.

When they got there, they saw the bedroom door was wide open, the servants in the yard were all mourning, and a middle-aged couple with two teenagers, one big and one small, surrounded the bed, and you could see from the exposed gap. An old, pale face, with the last light in his eyes.

Probably seeing the old housekeeper, the light suddenly lit up and fell directly on his face. As if there was something he wanted to say urgently, but he couldn't make a sound.

The old butler suddenly understood his thoughts: "Do you want to see the eldest son? The eldest son, he..." He really couldn't bear to irritate the old city lord by telling him such bad news at the last moment of his life, so he had no choice but to First, he pulled the two children in front of him, "Look, my lord, this is the young lady and the young master, the eldest son is right behind..."

The old city lord on the bed's eyes fell directly on the two children. He probably also wanted to understand why the other son did not appear. His eyes suddenly showed a look of sadness.

"Hoho..." He wanted to raise his hand and say something, but he couldn't move, or speak, he breathed hard in his throat, but his eyes became darker and darker.

The middle-aged man next to him hurriedly stepped forward to grab the arm he was about to raise, and called out in a low voice, "Father!"

"...Dad, don't worry, I know you are worried about the future of your two children. You can rest assured that your son will take good care of them, so that you will have no regrets when you return to Jiuyou."

Suddenly? There was another cry in the room.

In the cry, a layer of light iron gray spread from the skin of the old man's body, and the color became darker and darker, and finally it was about to cover his nose and mouth. It seemed that he would be completely petrified, leaving him in pain. die.

His eyeballs were still moving, not moving, and fell on his son, wondering if he still cared about this world.

The two children were still ignorant, didn't they know the situation too well, and saw that the second uncle had brought them to his side, and burst into tears at the old man on the bed.

In the yard outside, why didn't I just walk over slowly, I heard this grief-stricken cry.

"It smells so good! It smells so good..."

At this moment, Ye Miaomiao's voice sounded in his mind, with a bit of a feeling of eagerness. It's like a drunk who's drunk and drunk, his tone is dizzy, and he's so excited that he can't extricate himself.

"Sword Master, I smell a good fragrance. I have a hunch that it must be a treasure that is very useful to Divine Sword..."

Hearing her so twitchy, why not? Wei also became curious, so he indulged: "Then go have a look."

Based on his understanding of Ye Miaomiao, the other party's three views were shaped in a peaceful age, and they would not take the initiative to harm innocent people, nor would they cause any trouble.

As soon as the voice fell, a streamer couldn't wait to fly out.

In the bedroom, the second son was holding his father's dying hand, crying non-stop, but it was thunder and rain.

"Dad, don't worry... Ow!"

Suddenly, the crying stopped abruptly, and the second prince raised his head while clutching his swollen forehead, and let out a groan of pain that changed his tone, filled with shock and anger.

- At that very moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped in from outside the door, wiped his forehead, and flew directly towards the old man on the bed.

- That seems to be a dark, hard slab? !

Actually, someone dared to commit murder in the city lord's mansion in broad daylight, and he couldn't even wait for a while, and he had to kill a dying old man with his own hands? ? ?

The most important thing is, that thing didn't make him swollen a lot after rubbing him. If the target was aimed at his forehead, wouldn't he have died?

—What a murderous and daring madman!

The second son, who was clutching his forehead, was shocked and angry, and immediately shouted to arrest the assassin, only to see that the "assassin" swaggered in, with a calm attitude and a more calm expression, as if he was walking around in his own home.

"Wait a minute, second son, maybe this is a misunderstanding?"

As the confidant of the city lord, the old butler still has the right to speak in the city lord's mansion. Although it seems that the old and the new are going to change now, but the old butler Yu Wei is still there. As soon as he speaks, those who want to go forward to arrest the assassin hesitated and stopped. Down, a little hesitant.

And the old housekeeper looked at Yuan Buwei in astonishment: "Master Yinyuan, are you?"

"Okay, it seems that you are all in the same group!" The second son's angry voice interrupted the old butler's words, "Tongshan steward, it's a waste of my father to trust you so much, you actually betray the city master's mansion. , I haven't seen my eldest brother for many years, has it been killed by you?"

Speaking of which, the second son is already stern.

As the confidant of the city lord, the old butler had a special status on weekdays, even the second son did not call him to and fro in this way, but treated him like an uncle.

Now that the old city lord has not been buried yet, the second prince has already assumed the attitude of the master, treated him like a servant, and accused him so wrongly, without even the evidence. The murderous intention is hidden, as if to take the opportunity to clean it up.

All the way back, the old housekeeper, who was seriously injured and never healed, was full of grief and anger, and he was silent for a moment, and finally he couldn't bear to speak: "Second son? right!"

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange.

The second man, the son first, was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect the old housekeeper to be so outspoken, and then burst into anger. Isn't this anger? Really got a bit of murderous intent.

"What do you mean? Do you still want to frame me for murdering my brother? Sin!"

He glanced at the servants who were stopped by the old butler, and then glanced at Yuan Buwei who was standing there like a melon-eating crowd, raised his trembling hand and pointed at the old butler:

"Okay, okay! I know your wolf ambitions, are you not planning, do you know how many people you have secretly won over? You have killed my father and my elder brother, and now you are accusing me of accusing me, don't you mean? If you lose your right of inheritance, you should take the opportunity to treat my poor nephew as a puppet and hold the power of the city lord of Yinhui City..."

The old housekeeper was trembling all over because of what he said, but he didn't try to argue any more, and tried his best.

He knew in his heart that the second son's brainless attack at this time was to put the black pot on him, and then took the opportunity to clean him and many people who were not used to by the second son in the past. A changing day!

Even if Er Gong Zi's words are full of loopholes, even if he knows that the other party is talking nonsense, what can he do?

The old city lord has passed away, and the second son is the real owner of the city lord's mansion. Even the servants who didn't understand the situation just now should understand.

Even if the second son just thinks he is too ugly and wants to drive him away, he should be driven away, but he will inevitably be called cool. Now he has been accused of forming a party for selfishness and murdering the old master. People outside who do not know the truth will listen, and they will not say that the second son is mean to the old man left by his father.

"City lord, eldest son? Why did you all go..."

For a time, the old housekeeper was sad and couldn't help himself.

The second son was even more heartbroken. He held his father's hand at the bedside, bowed his head, sighed, and looked like a dutiful son: "Father, this is the confidant you have favored for so many years in the past, killing him. Big brother, don't you say, and frame your son with such vicious accusations..."

Suddenly, there was another cry in the room.

"Father, this world is so sinister, why did you just leave your son and go away?"

The second gentleman made a full set of the show, and when he said that, he considered himself enough, so he made a gesture, preparing to let the housekeeper wait for the old guy who had been unpleasant to him for a long time and dealt with it. , to make room for his cronies.

"Yeah, this world is so sinister, or let the old man continue to bear it."

A familiar old voice sounded faintly, as if a cool wind blew past Er Gong Zi's ears.

The second son was suddenly startled.

And at this moment, his hand was suddenly clenched!

The old hand in the palm that was supposed to gradually become cold and stiff? The palm tightly squeezed his hand, and inch by inch along the wrist? The corpse is resurrected" and "the corpse is transformed", the second son turned his head stiffly.

The old man who was still lying on the bed before, his whole body was covered with iron gray, and it was obvious that he was about to become petrified actually sat up from the bed slowly. There are still many left, but at least his life has been saved.

Half an inch above the top of his head, there is a black lacquered brick floating slightly. It is like a magnet. past.

At this time, this slab caught everyone's attention.

"Hiccup~"

Ye Miaomiao let out a loud burp, ignoring the sparkling eyes around her, and flew straight back to Yuanwei.

The original is not because the expression is always indifferent, as if everything is under his control, showing an unspeakable mystery.

In fact, he didn't know much? How much more than everyone else, even more surprised than them.

...If I read it right, it's the essence of Tianxing Stone, right?

It has been known that only one kilogram of Celestial Stone can condense one gram of essence; to solve, how many kilograms of Celestial Stone is worth the essence of Celestial Stone precipitated in the main body of Yinhui City? How much will it improve the natal sword embryo?

However, looking at the attitudes of these people, could it be said that the Heavenly Star Stone, which is incomparably precious to the human race, is actually a highly poisonous existence in the Golden Spirit Race?

For a time, it was not for imagination.

·

In the city lord's mansion, a farce came to an abrupt end.

The old city owner actually came back to life!

He was just half-reclined on the bed. Although he was pale and thin, and his illness was still unrecovered, he had an air of majesty that had been in a high position for a long time.

A hand? Squeezed at the forearm of the silly son, his pupils swept coldly towards the son like sharp swords.

The second prince grinned with difficulty and pulled out a fake smile, but because he was too shocked and disappointed, he looked very stiff:

"Dad, you, are you alive? That's great!"

The old city owner withdrew his gaze in disappointment, then cast it to Yuan Wu, who was standing aside, and solemnly said:

"The old man originally thought that he wanted his soul to return to Jiuyou, and that he was lucky enough to get a life back, all thanks to the grace of the son to save his life. Great kindness and great virtue, I can't repay it, I shouldn't have regenerated my delusions, but...now the City Lord's Mansion The current situation of the master has also seen, the old man can't die, so he can only have the cheek to ask the master to help him!"

"I know that this matter is really embarrassing for your son. Since ancient times, no one has been able to cure the disease of the bloodline backlash, and the son can be suspended for one or two times. It is a genius of the sky, unprecedented. I don't want to be able to solve it completely. With this disease, I just hope I can live a few more years? Anyway, take care of my grandson growing up."

Having said that, the old city lord actually got out of bed stiffly, and gave a deep salute to Yuan Wei.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The thinking of the original inaction is running at high speed.

From the words of the old city lord and the picture he saw just now, he vaguely understood something.

The disease of blood backwash? Once the bloodline is devoured, the body surface will appear the star stone essence? Until the end, the whole person was completely petrified and became a big lump of star stone? So, isn't every Golden Spirit Clan a walking Tianxing stone mine? ? ?

...It's so miserable, so miserable, the Golden Spirit Clan is so miserable!

... Tears flowed down from the corners of my mouth.

After being silent for too long, the hopeful eyes of the old city lord gradually dimmed, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.

- He also went to the doctor in a panic. Even the royal family has never heard of a cure for this disease of bloodline backlash. It is amazing that this mysterious young man can resolve one or two things. How can he ask for too much?

That's all...

He was about to take back what he had just said, and while he still had one breath to arrange the funeral, he repaid the benefactor by the way, but he heard the gentleman in white sigh softly.

"I didn't want to take action at all..." His voice was clear and calm, with a little helplessness, "Bloodline backlash is difficult to resolve, and no one knows it."

The old city lord who heard a few words immediately raised his head, with hope in his eyes, and nodded while listening.

"If you want to cure this disease, you will have to pay a small price."

The old city lord nodded again and again, and assured him: "This is natural, you can rest assured, the old man will never let you pay the price in vain."

-Compared with your own life, everything else is secondary. As long as there is hope of life, everything is worth it.

"Well, I'll stay for the time being..." The old city owner pleaded and promised again, but because it seemed that he was finally persuaded, he finally said lightly, "No, it will take a few more days to prepare. , can we make a move?"

...Now he doesn't even know what the bloodline backlash is? It's clear, it's all based on guesswork, what to do to cure it? You also need to do your homework in advance, and you don't know anything? Clearly, even if you can devour the essence of Tianxing Stone by relying on the Divine Sword of Destiny, you can only pick up a fur.

...Learn about it in the past few days, and when he understands everything clearly and thoroughly, that is, when he shaves his wool bald :)
