Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2229 There are three types of unfilial piety

"No problem. The conditions you mentioned are all reasonable, Captain Liu. We definitely have no reason to refuse."

Wu Ji said with a smile: "I am not talented, I can be considered a qualified third-rate master, but I haven't had many chances to make a move in recent years, so I am a bit rusty. However, there are also several third-rate masters in my team. , so no matter what happens after arriving in Tianshui Town, Lieutenant Liu, please speak directly."

Since Wu Ji is so on the road, Liu Xing is not going to say anything more, "Okay, if Angkor and your convoy are ready, then just follow us and set off!"

In this way, Wu Ji's carriages were directly merged into the convoy.

 It was a little too smooth.

Liu Xing, who returned to his carriage, put his chin in his hand and began to think about a question, that is, would Wu Ji and others joining the opposing team bring advantages and disadvantages to Tianshui Town?

From a bright point of view, the advantages of Wu Ji and others' joining must outweigh the disadvantages, because there are several third-rate masters among Wu Ji and others, which can supplement the combat effectiveness of Tianshui Town, and there are also some on the carriages of Wu Ji and others. Good thing, it can also be used for Sweetwater Town.

For example, the tea that Wu Ji brought back from the dock included several varieties from all over the world.

Liu Xing remembered that Gongzi Ying was also a tea lover, so every time he went to Gongzi Ying, he would see a bowl of tea next to him.

In addition to tea, Wu Ji originally prepared some gifts for his family. After all, no matter how bad his relationship with his family was, as long as he didn't completely fall out, he still had to do a good job on the surface.

But now that he has decided not to return to Feicheng, Wu Ji gave these gifts to Liu Xing. In addition to food and drink, these gifts also included some sundries, such as flutes and jade pendants.

However, among these gifts, Liu Xing saw something beyond his expectation, that is, the legendary picture.

Can this thing also be used as a gift?

At this time, Liu Xing's expression became one-third surprised and seven-point curious, because Liu Xing had been fascinated by this kind of picture album for a long time. After all, he had heard the name of this kind of picture album since he was a child. In addition, The subject matter also suited Liu Xing's taste, so after struggling for a moment, Liu Xing stretched out a hand and prepared to open the album.

But just when Liu Xing was about to put one hand on the album, Liu Xing thought of a problem, that is, the doors and windows of the carriage were still open for ventilation at this time, so if someone came to find him, then he could The first time I saw what I was doing, I didn't have time to hide it.

What’s more, at this time, when you are hiding something in a hurry, others can guess what you are doing.

As for pretending to put things away casually, I can only think about it, because the cover of this album also directly points out the theme and will not give Liu Xing any chance to struggle.

 So at this time, you still have to close the doors and windows.

As a result, just when Liu Xing was about to turn his idea into reality, he saw Shi Zixuan walking towards the convoy.

 Obviously, Shi Zixuan came to see him. After all, he was the only acquaintance here.

 So Liu Xing pretended to be calm and said hello to Master Zixuan, then turned around and put the album at the bottom of the gift.

 After Liu Xing was ready, Master Zixuan knocked on the carriage, and Liu Xing also sat out.

In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Xing did not allow Shi Zixuan to sit in the carriage. After all, the gossip was faster than the high-speed rail. Maybe the Liu Nan couple in Tianshui Town were already preparing for their wedding before the convoy returned to Tianshui Town. .

“Liu Xing, Wu Ji is quite interesting.”

As soon as Master Zixuan arrived, he said straight to the point: "Qing Sheng just talked to me about Wu Ji. Of course, this was specially arranged by Miao Fei, because there are some things that he couldn't say directly in person, so he asked Qing Sheng to I had to find a way to convey it, and Qing Sheng thought of subcontracting this task to me."

"I knew this was going to happen, because things were going so smoothly, and Miao Fei also used his eyes to indicate to me that he had something to say, but he didn't have the chance to chat with me alone, so I was still waiting to finish eating. I’ll meet him again at lunch.”

Liu Xing came as soon as he opened his mouth, because he had already discussed his matter with Wu Ji before he had time to pay attention to Miao Fei's expression.

Master Zixuan nodded and continued: "In short, the reason why Wu Ji does not have a good relationship with his family is that besides the reasons he mentioned, there is another point that is difficult to explain directly. , that is, Wu Ji may not be good at certain aspects. According to us modern people, it is difficult to stand up. Liu Xing, as a doctor, you should understand what I mean, right? And you should also know that this kind of innate existence The shortcomings are basically difficult to cure through various treatments.”

oh?

Liu Xing subconsciously thought of the picture album behind him. It turned out that this gift was prepared for him by Wu Ji.

And this also explains why Wu Ji was abandoned by his father, because Liu Xing also found it strange before. Wu Ji is also the eldest son of the family, so since his father is a more traditional person, so It is unlikely that he would be interested in abolishing the eldest son and establishing a younger one, unless his second marriage partner is very powerful and can force Wu Ji's father to stand on her side. Otherwise, as long as Wu Ji takes a tougher attitude, even if he cannot become the new head of the family, he can still take away about half of the family property, instead of only taking away a dock that is a hundred miles away.

If it were in the real world, such a pier would still be quite valuable, but in this martial arts module with dense rivers everywhere, the status of the pier has been directly changed from an airport to a bus station, so such a pier is considered a business No matter how good it is, it won't make a lot of money, and it's easy to create an invisible but tangible glass ceiling.

Therefore, Liu Xing, who had figured this out, knew that Wu Ji might have wanted to come over and make friends with him after he heard from Miao Fei that he was the school captain personally appointed by the third prince, and that there was also Young Master Ying in Tianshui Town. Young Master Ying is trying to find an opportunity for transformation.

As for Wu Ji losing his position as the head of the family due to some unspeakable secrets and falling into this embarrassing situation, Liu Xing thinks it is quite realistic. After all, there is a saying for ancient people - there are three types of unfilial piety. It is great to have no heirs!

For ancient people, whether they are royal relatives or lower-class people, inheriting their own bloodline is a top priority for them, because no matter how powerful a family is, as long as there is no successor whom everyone expects, the family will Falling into chaos, eventually falling apart, and even being manipulated by outsiders!

For example, after the death of some emperors who have no heirs, the powerful ministers may decide who will inherit the throne. Among them, the most influential and well-known one should be Qin II, because he was succeeded by Li Si and others By bypassing the prince Fusu and supporting the emperor, the Qin Dynasty died for the second generation.

In addition, the Han Dynasty that replaced the Qin Dynasty could not escape the same ending, because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was just an idle prince with no weight. As a result, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty had no heirs when he died, and his relatives wanted to use this to control him. The imperial court supported Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, a member of the royal family who had little trump card and could easily be controlled by himself; and Emperor Shao Emperor of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Han Xian Emperor after the Han Ling Emperor were supported by Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao for the same reason, and became Mascot in their hands.

Similar lessons have appeared in this martial arts module. Therefore, when major families choose the heir of the family head, a big bonus is that the heir of the family head has his own heir. For example, the prince of the previous dynasty has a The elder brother of the eldest son, it turned out that this brother injured a vital part while riding a horse, so after a few years of persistence, he had to give way to the former prince. Of course, the former prince did not forget to put pressure on his brother during this period. .

So taking Wu Ji's family situation as an example, if Wu Ji cannot have a son, then even if Wu Ji becomes the head of the family, it will not take many years before he is likely to be framed by his half-brother. Roasting on the fire, if Wu Ji "abdicates his position in favor" in despair when the time comes, he may be laughed at for the rest of his life.

 So at this time, Wu Ji retreated bravely and chose a relatively decent way to solve the problem. Perhaps the reason why he was sent to the dock by his father was because of his self-recommendation.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt that Wu Ji was quite pitiful, because most of these congenital diseases are difficult to cure. After all, this means that you have an irreparable defect in some aspect from the beginning.

"I asked why Wu Ji wanted to join us so much at that time. It turned out to be because he had an unspeakable secret."

Liu Xing shook his head and said with some emotion: "At that time, I thought I was possessed by the protagonist's halo, so anyone who passed by would bow to me and want to do something for me, but now it seems that it's still me. Thinking too much, this is all because he saw me as a life-saving straw when there was no way out, so no matter how unreliable I seemed, as long as there was a glimmer of hope that he could get out of his current predicament, he would not hesitate to do so. Don't hesitate to join us! It seems that we can also take advantage of this Mr. Wu. After all, everyone is using each other, so there is no need to be too polite when making moves."

Master Zixuan also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that's why Miao Feicai can't tell you directly in person, because it is equivalent to telling you Wu Ji's weakness. How do you want to deal with it then?" Even though Wu Ji didn't have the confidence to resist, he would still resent Miao Fei for saying this. Although Miao Fei wasn't worried that Wu Ji would really take revenge on him, he didn't want Wu Ji to catch him. If we get this handle, our reputation may be ruined, so we asked Qing Sheng to convey the news on our behalf."

"Yes, this is indeed a bit unkind, but these things are not difficult to discover if investigated, so as long as Miao Fei does not leave any evidence on the surface, there will be no problem."

Liu Xing wiped the sweat on his head and continued: "Fortunately, there are still some players from Fei City who followed us back to Tianshui Town, so we can let out some rumors and make Wu Ji mistakenly think that they are other people. Revealing his secret can be regarded as doing a little superficial favor for Miao Fei."

As the saying goes, as long as one person hits the hater, the people around him are likely to hit the hater too, and the same is true for wiping sweat.

Master Zixuan also wiped the sweat on his head, shook his head and said: "The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these two days. Even if we sit in the carriage, we will be sweating profusely soon, so Yang Ping I made several fans in the past two days, and Qing Sheng also gave me a beautifully crafted folding fan just now."

"Oh? Did you accept Qing Sheng's kindness? Or did you return the fan?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

“Of course I didn’t accept Qing Sheng’s kindness, otherwise I would have a fan in my hand now.”

Master Zi I don't owe Qingsheng anything anymore, so he won't have the chance to repay the favor and let me be with him."

 “Oh, is there any other way of saying this?”

Liu Xing just wanted to chat and laugh again, but a question suddenly occurred to him, so he changed his mind and asked: "By the way, Miao Fei and Wu Ji have been chatting for a while, so do you know what they talked about? ?For example, is there anything else worth mentioning about Wu Ji’s team?”

The main reason why Liu Xing did not speak directly to Shi Zixuan at this time and asked Wu Ji whether Wu Ji had mentioned rhubarb was that Shi Zixuan did not know the existence of rhubarb, so in order to avoid her being affected by the aura of guilt. , so I can only ask this question in disguised form.

After Shi Zixuan recalled for a moment, he shook his head and said: "When the convoy continued to set off, Miao Fei walked side by side with Wu Ji. At the same time, he was less than two meters away from the carriage where I was, so I could probably hear it. I didn’t know what they were talking about; to put it simply, they were just reminiscing about old times and talking about things that had happened several years ago. In short, I didn’t hear any special information. If I insist on saying that there is anything worthwhile, One thing to mention should be that Wu Ji had had a fight with Miao Fei before, but was easily subdued by Miao Fei, who was a second-rate master, so he began to practice martial arts diligently, and finally became a third-rate master. .”

"Oh? That means Wu Ji's martial arts talent is quite good. He is already in his early thirties now, and he can still become a third-level master through his own efforts. This shows that his talent is no worse than Miao Fei's. .”
