Yang Tong's confinement lasted for many days. Lu Mingtong once thought of going to visit him, but thinking of his identity as an outsider, he couldn't open his mouth to Master Yang.

The news of Pei Lian's abandonment of the match had already been spread by those who were present that day, and there was an uproar all of a sudden.The guests of the Yang family were all concerned, and Master Yang just said lightly that he was bedridden and took them there.

How could a person who was alive and kicking a few days ago get sick?Before they raised any objections, Master Yang threw out another powerful sentence - he wanted to formally summon Yang Tong as the Patriarch of the Yang family.

Lu Mingtong had guessed when he would make a move, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.He was caught off guard, and he didn't know Yang Tong's current condition, so he paced around the room anxiously.

"Isn't what happened in the past few days a little too unusual? What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?"

Lu Douya was sent to Yinshu Pavilion to investigate, and Feng Ji became Lu Mingtong's servant as a matter of course, sitting on the sidelines and watching him go around in a leisurely manner.

"The Famous Sword Conference is almost over. He released such explosive news at this time that everyone can't leave." Lu Mingtong said: "I haven't recorded what happened to Pei Lian last time in Fengyun Record. Open your mouth, there are several different theories, and I am afraid that I will be hooked. This time, I simply declared the right of inheritance. If something happens again, I really can’t bear it.”

Feng Ji pushed the teapot towards him: "What he wants is that people don't have to go all the way before they leave. Pei Lian is lying lifelessly on the bed now. Yang Feng has always been obedient and obedient. With the eyes of so many people watching, it’s hard for Yang Tong not to follow orders.”

Lu Mingtong said: "You mean...Master Yang just saw this opportunity, and no one can stop him?"

Feng Ji nodded, and said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, Master Yang may not be clear about the relationship between Pei Lian and Yang Tong, but it is precisely because he knows this that he is even more worried that Yang Tong will indulge in love and give up the position of Patriarch. .”

Yang Tong never concealed his intimacy with Pei Lian, Lu Mingtong frowned and said: "But Yang Tong is not very old, why should he be in such a hurry, he hastily dealt with Pei Lian's matter, which has already aroused many people's suspicions."

Feng Ji glanced at him with a smile: "Yang Tong is young, aren't you young? You can take on the heavy responsibility of Fengyun Envoy, why can't he?"

Lu Mingtong rubbed his nose: "I have another reason. If my father is still alive at this time, I might still be playing in the mud behind his ass." He smiled a little shyly: "Besides, I'm not And you can help."

Feng Ji said: "But Master Yang doesn't think so. As you said, you have me, Brother Duan, Shi Jingtian and others secretly helping you without feeling threatened, all based on the premise that we can't shake your position On. I guess the reason why Yang Tong wants Pei Lian to succeed him is also because he has seen through his own lack of ability. But in the eyes of Master Yang, all he sees is the danger of being robbed of his own treasure. If it were Yang Feng, Whether it is inheriting or assisting Yang Tong, Master Yang may be more accepting. However, the blood in Pei Lian's body does not come from the same place as them. Worrying."

Lu Mingtong said sadly: "In this way, Pei Lian is too pitiful. Could it be that Master Yang really can't tolerate him like this..." He thought of something, and suddenly said in horror: "Could it be that Master Yang really thought about it?" Want to take this opportunity to eradicate him completely, only to be destroyed by Yang Tong's robbing?"

Feng Ji said: "Maybe, Pei Lian's reputation in Jianghu is not small now, and Master Yang has already regarded him as a thorn in his side. Even if he doesn't succeed this time, maybe next time, he can find someone who can justify Pei Lian and drive him out." reason."

Lu Mingtong sighed softly: "Pei Lian is still lying on the bed, he doesn't care about it, he doesn't even say a single perfunctory word, Pei Lian's heart is not a stone, he must be able to sense Master Yang's resistance to him and Take precautions, but why does he still stay here, Jianghu is so big, with his aptitude, even if he leaves the Yang family, he will not worry about having no place to display his ambitions..."

What else could it be? Feng Ji and him looked at each other, and they both found the same answer as themselves from the other's eyes.

Love is a word that hurts people a lot.

The outside world has already spread the news that Mr. Yang is determined to succeed to the throne. Yang Tong sat in the room without saying a word. In the past few days, he has copied all the family rules day and night. He is holding a Buddhist scripture at the moment Read carefully.

He usually hates such calm and boring scriptures, but looking at them now, they are the most comforting medicine for him.

There will always be noises outside, and Yang Tong knows that they must be discussing that he will not inherit the position of Patriarch in the future.

Yesterday, his father finally came to see him. The two faced each other in silence for a long time, and when Fang opened his mouth, he brought a piece of earth-shattering news.

Even though he tried various methods, be it direct or tactful, my father refused to do anything.The position of the Patriarch of the Yang Family went round and round, but it still fell on him.

Yang Tong looked at his hands holding the scriptures. Maybe this imprisoned thought that has been passed down for thousands of years is really too strong to shake, at least, with his current strength, he is helpless...

But he still has a chance, Yang Tong closed his eyes, and said silently in his heart, maybe it is destined to be like this, the position of the head of the family will be taken by himself first, and he will take over the power in the future, please Pei Lian to work with the rest of the Yang family disciples , It can also reproduce the former scenery of the Yang family.

The fingers holding the edge of the scriptures began to turn white, and the door behind him was pushed open softly. Who will come at this time?Yang Tong turned around in surprise: "Pei... pity."

The second half of the exclamation was swallowed, and Yang Tong looked at the pale face of the man in front of him, looking precarious, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.He looked at Yang Feng, who was dressed as a guard, and said, "Feng'er, how did you come here?"

Yang Feng whispered: "Shhh, I knocked someone out while they were changing shifts, and the other one was called away by Junior Sister Twelve."

Yang Tong helped the man to sit down at the table, and couldn't help saying: "You are so courageous, if father finds out, he will definitely punish you severely."

"Oh, I... I can't control that much anymore."

"I begged him." Pei Lian suddenly said, Yang Tong paused, and Yang Feng was also quiet.

"I'm afraid that if I don't come this time, I won't see you again." Pei Lian's breath was very weak when he spoke, and he spoke a simple sentence intermittently, and coughed from time to time.

Yang Tong panicked: "What stupid things are you talking about!"

Pei Lian looked up at him, and Yang Feng said wittily, "Brother, I'm going out first, Brother Pei, you don't have much time, we have to leave before they find out."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door and went out. Yang Tong looked at the thin face in front of him, and couldn't help reaching out to stroke it: "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Pei Lian said, "Sit down."

Yang Tong sat down in front of him, Pei Lian stared at him for a while, then smiled wryly: "I wanted you to sit down like before, but now it seems that there is no other way."

He was talking about how the two used to play around, when Yang Tong was mischievous, he would hang cross-legged on him, wrap his arms around his neck and be intimate.Yang Tong felt a pain in his heart, and comforted him in a low voice: "I'm very heavy, and I'm afraid of hurting you. When your injuries are all healed, we can still be like before."

Pei Lian smiled, and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Why are you still crying as much as before? Now that I wake up, shouldn't you be more happy for me?"

"But, if it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have experienced these things at all." Yang Tong covered his face in pain: "I'm sorry, Pei Lian, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't hide it from you recklessly. I was too anxious to steal that sword, I thought that without the sword, he would not be able to pass on the position to me, sorry..."

Pei Lian hugged him: "I know, I know everything. Xiaotong, it's not your fault."

Yang Tong closed his eyes tightly. These days, he has been used to silently thinking about whether he will see Pei Lian who is safe and sound after he goes out. There is no one around who can talk to him, let alone solve his problems.He was alone in the dark with his eyes open, unable to see anything.

Yang Tong tilted his body and buried him in his arms like when he was a child.He smelled the strong smell of herbs in his nose, and while weeping sobbingly, he thought vaguely, if he doesn't blame himself, then who is to blame?Blame the father? Everything started because of him. He is the only person in the Yang family who hates Pei Lian, but he is the most powerful person in the Yang family. The fundamental reason why he did all this to Pei Lian is also for Own.

But he remembered that his father clearly admired Pei Lian before.He is the smartest among many disciples, but also the most calm one.He was the first person to successfully use a whole set of Yang family's sword skills. His father would still encourage him with his childish eyes at that time, but since when did his eyes look at Pei Lian gradually change?Is it from the first time he showed his prowess in the arena, or is it because more and more people appreciate him?

Before he could come up with a result, Yang Feng outside the door had already started urging: "Brother, there is no time, the patrolling people should come over later."

Yang Tong wiped away his tears, looked directly at Pei Lian and said, "Promise me, you must take good care of your wounds, and we will have a long time to come."

Pei Lian whispered: "Okay, you also promise me one thing." He looked at Yang Tong firmly: "You have to promise me to protect your own safety, no matter what Master proposes next, you will not fight He is facing..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Tong had already leaned over and kissed his lips lightly: "Don't worry, I know."

Yang Tong looked at him and said word by word: "I will protect myself, as long as you are still by my side, I will not give up."
