In a coma, even though his ears were blocked, Qiao Xiuyu still vaguely felt the fury of the man holding him.

"I don't care who of you did it, it's always right for him to have an accident in your Xing family."

"Let Xiu Yu fall into the water, right? Xing Rong and Three Years Old didn't have such a plan but it still has something to do with him. Let his mother Luo Lengyun jump into the lake by herself. I don't mention it, no one is allowed to let her leave the lake."

"That day, the servants who followed the two guarded the dark guards. No matter which family they belonged to, all the servants were killed. The servants who rescued the Xing family after falling into the water were all Ling Chi."

"Xing Qirui, if you can't do it, go to war first. Qiao Xihan, are you dead? Why don't you follow him when he wants to go out?"

Although these people deliberately avoided Qiao Xiuyu, Qiao Xiuyu was not fully awake, and still heard a lot of movement.I wanted them to stop arguing, but Qiao Xiuyu's throat was so hot that he couldn't speak at all.

When Qiao Xiuyu was able to open his eyes, his mother, Patriarch Qiao, stood by the bed, her expression not very good.Seeing Qiao Xiuyu gradually sober up, her eyes turned red, she wanted to reprimand but was speechless.

"Mother," Qiao Xiuyu's voice was a little dry and thirsty.Patriarch Lin immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Qiao Xiuyu's mouth.Qiao Xiuyu smiled slightly and drank slowly.

"You take good care of it. We will deal with the outside affairs and seek justice for you." Patriarch Lin comforted me softly.Compared with the taciturnity in the past, such a long sentence today is strange.

Qiao Xiuyu nodded obediently, this time he was going to Xing's house to become like this, so he didn't want to make any more trouble.He didn't say much, and believed that his parents would find out the matter, and they would naturally tell him when it was time for him to know.

Seeing his son's dejected look, Patriarch Qiao felt a little uncomfortable.I am used to seeing his wanton and arrogant appearance, and now he is especially distressing.The anger towards the Xing family in his heart was even higher, but he didn't express much to Qiao Xiuyu, but just asked someone to bring the dishes.

After eating, Qiao Xiuyu fell asleep again.After more than a month, when he was almost fully recovered, he realized that the faces of the members of the Qiao family were particularly serious.

"What happened?" Qiao Xiuyu frowned, staring at the maid, probably she didn't make it clear that she didn't want to let her go.

The maid bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to speak.The Patriarch has specifically mentioned this matter, and no one is allowed to tell the young master.

"Could it be that the army is besieging the city?" Qiao Xiuyu yawned, why was he so serious all of a sudden?With his father and mother, he doesn't believe that there is anything that can't be done.

The tray in the hand of the maid fell to the ground.The maid hurriedly knelt down without saying a word, not even daring to say an apology.

"..." Qiao Xiuyu's face turned pale, so he wouldn't have guessed it.Qiao Xiuyu hurriedly asked: "Where is Daddy's Lin family? He is the only direct descendant of the Lin family, and logically he will definitely help, because it is imperative for the two families to merge together in the future.

"Yes, the same." The maid muttered softly.

Qiao Xiuyu gasped, grabbed the maid's hand to prevent her from leaving, and continued to press: "The people of the Xing family? They are crazy, why are you nervous?" Although the Xing family ranked second, the Lin family and the Qiao family ranked second respectively. Three and four, together, as long as the Rui family doesn't intervene, it's no problem to completely defeat the Xing family.

"No, it's not the Xing family." Seeing that the matter was almost revealed, the maid told the truth: "It's the Rui family."

"..." Qiao Xiuyu was stunned, the Rui family.Qiao Xiuyu got out of bed, ran out of the yard, and went to the council hall to find his mother. He wanted to know what was going on.Didn't he fall into the water at Xing's house?Why did the Rui family come to fight in the end?

In the meeting hall, the three parties were confronting each other, and the patriarchs of the four major families gathered again.The originally tense scene eased a little with Qiao Xiuyu's arrival.

"Why did you come out? You are not in good health yet, so you can't blow the air." Patriarch Qiao watched his son run over, pulled him into his arms, raised his eyebrows, and stared at Patriarch Xing.Isn't it all your problem?

Patriarch Xing was the first to speak: "Xiu Yu, the previous incident has nothing to do with Rong Yu, he was also involved."

"Since he's here, he just finished the matter." Patriarch Rui didn't answer the words at all, and glanced at Qiao Xiuyu, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, and continued the previous topic, "Since everyone is surrounded, naturally it is impossible to retreat easily, you Is it a joke to be the Rui family's army?"

"People from the Lin family are constantly adding to this, you can try it." The head of the Lin family said in a bad tone.

"I don't agree to your conditions, you don't even think about it." Patriarch Qiao looked indifferent, and the lion just opened his mouth, but he still wants someone?There was no way she would agree.

"Xiu Yu," Patriarch Rui suddenly said to Qiao Xiuyu, "Would you like to go outside the city with me to see the Rui family's army?"

Qiao Xiuyu looked at her mother and asked silently.In fact, he wanted to see how powerful the besieging army outside the city was and how severe the situation was.But the last incident of falling into the water still let him know how lacking he really is, and how bad it is to make up his own mind when he doesn't have enough strength.

Patriarch Qiao wanted to refuse, but looked at Qiao Xiuyu's eyes for a moment of silence, but nodded in agreement.After handing Qiao Xiuyu to Patriarch Rui, Patriarch Qiao was unusually silent.There was a strong force coming from the palm of her hand, Patriarch Qiao looked back, and Patriarch Lin held her hand, silently comforting her.

Patriarch Rui carried Qiao Xiuyu to the outside of the city. No one knew what Qiao Xiuyu saw or what they said.

It was already night when we returned to Qiao's house. Qiao Xiuyu watched Patriarch Rui leave, then took a deep breath and walked towards his mother's bedroom.

"Are you back? How is it? Does it look good?" Patriarch Qiao didn't worry about his son's safety, nor did he care about the strength of the Rui family's army. He just hoped to take this opportunity to open his son's horizons and relax his mind.

Qiao Xiuyu was silent for a moment, and still used a word to modify the army outside the city: "very strong." So strong that even if he had seen the cards of the Qiao family, the assassins of the Lin family, he still had to admire the strength of the Rui family, worthy of being one of the four The head of the family.Patriarch Rui also demonstrated some of the power and use of many magic circles and large weapons for him, and even let him try them out by himself.Even, during the time he was there, members of the Rui family's army kept coming and going to perform tasks.

Patriarch Qiao remained silent. Since Xiu Yu could give this evaluation, it meant that going to war would be very dangerous, because Xiu Yu had played with or seen all the weapons of the Qiao family when he was bored.

"Patriarch Rui made a condition. He said that as long as I agree, he will withdraw the troops." Qiao Xiuyu's voice was rough. Patriarch Rui really gave him a problem.

Patriarch Qiao was dizzy, there could only be one condition involving Xiu Yu, and this was what she had been worrying about.She wanted to stop Xiu Yu and tell him not to talk, or start a war.But when she thought of the people in the city, she had nothing to say.

Patriarch Lin was silent, he also thought of it.

"He said, let me go to the Rui family as a hostage for 15 years." Qiao Xiuyu still said this, and continued: "As long as you agree, you will sign a 15-year stable contract, and you can help the Qiao family within a certain range; Withdraw the army directly; and I will be taken to Rui’s family to study, as long as I want to learn, he will teach, but he will not have the name of master and apprentice.” The last point, he is not indifferent, but he also does not believe in the Rui family. Sometimes the agreement is torn up or secretly attacked, and he is the only one who is unlucky.

Patriarch Qiao continued to remain silent. The conditions were very attractive, but she didn't want to accept them.

"Mother," Qiao Xiuyu said on the way back, not only saw the strength of the Rui family, but also saw the weakness of the Qiao family at the moment.The Qiao family has no foundation, and basically belongs to the kind of high-rise buildings built on the ground. The consequence of an unstable foundation means that they not only have the external worries of the Rui family, but also the chaos inside the city that may riot at any time.

Qiao Xiuyu smiled. Now that he has made a decision, he has to decide to do it. The Qiao family needs time, and the Lin family will not help the Qiao family for free now.Qiao Xiuyu blinked, and said in a flattering tone, "I want to go."

Patriarch Qiao was silent. She understood her son's thoughts, and even thought deeper.If he really wants to be a proton, the Rui family is the best choice, Rui Hanchi will not attack Qiao Xiuyu. "Okay." Her voice trembled a little, even if it meant 15 years of separation, she accepted it.When Xiu Yu came back, she wanted to give Xiu Yu a completely different Qiao family.

Qiao Xiuyu threw herself into her mother's arms, enjoying the rare peace and stability. After going to Rui's house, it will be very difficult to see her again.
