  Chapter 173 Selection

   "I mean, do you have an issue with that?"

  Xu Yinhe quietly looked at the slightly excited look of the eldest son in front of him, and his voice was very low.

   Following his words, the carriage suddenly fell silent.

   Xu Yinhe's question was a bit cold-blooded.

   But in this position, many times have to maintain this cold-blooded.

   There is no one who does not like power. If you insist that you don't like power, then you must have never tasted power.

   "If there is, you can say it."

  Under his gaze, Xu Changge's agitated eyes gradually calmed down, and he sighed:

   "Father, are you worried about what happened to the Li family between me and Changtian?"

  Xu Yinhe didn't speak, which was his default.

  Li's family, with a surname of Tian.

  The current emperor has been ill in bed for so many years. Although he has established a crown prince, those princes with outstanding abilities have already beaten their brains out of their heads in order to grab the golden throne.

   Two people have already been sent to Tiandao, which was specially used to detain the royal family.

  Xu Changge took out some tea-drinking utensils from the Sumeru Ring, fiddled with them, and spoke casually.

  The voice is very soft and serious.

   "Father, when my mother died in front of me, I made a decision to protect Chang'an and his three brothers and sisters.

   "But when Chang'an passed away, there was nothing I could do. There are many things in this world that cannot be solved by cultivation, so you let me take over the Xiangguo Mansion and I agreed, just to prevent these things from happening again."

   Say it,

  Xu Changge poured a cup of fragrant tea, gently pushed it in front of Xu Yinhe with his hand, and raised his eyes to stare at the eagle-like gaze of the other party:

   "It's just my father. The prodigal son of Changtian has indeed changed a lot when he turned back, but can he do better than me? If he can't, then he can only hurt him by sitting in this position."

  Xu Yinhe did not answer this question directly:

   "Still observing, but his methods are very good."

"very nice"

  Hearing his father's evaluation, Xu Changge murmured and nodded:

   "Then Chang Tian is indeed better than me. Father, your subordinates are not very convinced."

  Xu Yinhe picked up the teacup and took a sip, commenting:

   "It's normal to be dissatisfied, Changge, you are too violent."

  Those old friends have more personalities one by one, and when they have a bad temper, they meet a bad temper. Although the order to be implemented is still arranged, the process is very bumpy.

   Really bumpy.

   Moreover, I don't know how much of it was because of his face as the Prime Minister.

  If he is gone, who can guarantee that it will be carried out?

   And if not.

  A sigh flashed in Xu Yinhe's eyes.

  Xu Changge was very aware of his flaws in temperament, so he sipped his tea lightly:

   "I know, so father let Chang Tian take over, I have no objection, as long as he can do better than me."

  “.”

  Xu Yinhe didn't speak any more, took out a Tianxun round crystal from the Sumeru Ring, and injected it with the majestic Yuan Qi like a sea tide.

  Xu Changge hesitated slightly when he saw this scene:

   "Father, this is."

   "Someone contacted me just now when I was in Marquis Wucheng's mansion. This time should be Changtian. Yesterday, the news came from Wanxiangzong that the assembly has been completed."

  Xu Changge smiled lightly:

   "Is this your test for him?"

   "That's right, but according to the news from the Black Scale Guard, he has done a good job these days." Xu Yinhe replied truthfully.

   Seeing this, Xu Changge stopped mentioning this matter, and asked instead:

   "Xinyao is here?"

   "Yes." Xu Yinhe.

  Xu Changge's eyes softened for a moment:

   "Although it's a bit late, it's still a New Year's reunion."

   "Long sky?"

  When the communication wafer was connected, Xu Yuan was discussing some formation-related matters with Xu Xinyao in the secret room, but after hearing this voice, both of them fell silent by coincidence.

   paused for a moment,

   Xu Yuan nodded his head after careful consideration of his words:

   "Father, it's me."

"What's up?"

   "I want to confirm some things with my father."

  “.”

  Xu Yinhe was not surprised by this at all, after all, he only said to let him negotiate:

   "Because of the 40,000 black scale army?"

   "No." Xu Yuan directly gave a negative answer.

  Xu Yinhe frowned for a moment:

   "It's not because of this, so why did you find your father?"

   was quiet for a few breaths,

  Xu Yuan took a deep breath, and went straight to the point:

   "Does Xu Changge know what you are going to do?"

  “.”

   Inside the carriage, Xu Yinhe felt a little surprised.

  He didn't disclose much information to the third son, but it seemed that the third son had already seen what he wanted to do.

   Glancing at the eldest son sitting opposite with a smile in his eyes, Xu Yinhe asked in a low voice:

   "What needs your elder brother to know?"

  “.”

  This question stunned Xu Yuan in the interrogation room.

  He didn't think that the father's city could not understand what he said.

  Is this kind of questioning now because his previous judgment was wrong, or because the other party deliberately wanted him to admit it himself.

  But how can this kind of thing be brought to the table?

   Could it be that you directly asked: Dad, are you planning to let me inherit the throne?

  Thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan said in a calm voice:

   "Aren't you doing this to test my mettle?"

   "Yes." Xu Yinhe's answer was very short.

  Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment:

   "In this case, I think Xu Changge's consent is required for this matter?"

  The sound of steady breathing came, and after a while, Xu Yinhe took on a serious tone and asked:

   "Changtian, I can understand what you said, do you think I am going to hand over the Prime Minister's Mansion to you, not your elder brother?"

  “.”

ah?

  The tone of the old man's question made Xu Yuan feel at a loss.

  The previous stuff was speculation.

  Maybe, this old man just wants him to be the second in command to assist Xu Changge?

  As soon as the thought of hesitation arose, Xu Yuan rejected it.

  The structure of Xiangguo Mansion is doomed to have only one top leader. The second in command can be Lou Ji, Hua Hong, or even anyone in the staff, but it must not be one of the two brothers.

  After letting him do things and get acquainted with the people below, Xu Changge can only be a puppet. This kind of structure will not have a stable power center at all.

  If this father really did this, he would be burying a pit for future infighting.

   Their generation may not know how to fight, but what about their next generation? What about the next generation?

  Thinking to this point, Xu Yuan no longer hesitated, and expressed his own judgment:

   "Father, you can understand it this way."

  Hearing this firm answer, Xu Yinhe smiled rarely:

   "Oh, you are right, are you willing?"

  Xu Yuan let out a long breath, this old man actually came to test him in this kind of thing:

   "Father, I want to know more now if Xu Changge knows about this?"

   "I know." Xu Yinhe glanced at the eldest son opposite again.

  Xu Changge had a relieved smile on his face.

   Make guesses from limited information, and insist on yourself under questioning from your father.

very nice.

   At this time, Xu Yuan's voice sounded again:

   "Then Xu Changge has no objection?"

  Xu Yinhe did not answer directly, but said meaningfully:

   "Changtian, the Xiangguo Mansion has the final say for my father."

   "But elder brother's opinion is very important." Xu Yuan was unusually persistent on this issue.

  “.”

  Hearing this, Xu Yinhe smiled and looked at Xu Changge's expression, and replied in a low voice:

   "Well, probably not. You know your elder brother's temperament, but how did you know it? Just rely on the two painted skins that my father gave you?"

  Xu Yuan sighed, with a helpless tone:

   "I am too familiar with Xu Changge. I made this judgment more because of his bad temper. He should have had many conflicts with Aunt Lou Ji and the others during the years he was in charge, right?"

   "." Xu Changge's eyes twitched.

   "." Xu Yinhe glanced at him indifferently.

   "." Xu Changge sighed silently.

  Xu Yuan was right.

  Lou Ji and Wu Zigeng, who manages the Tian'an Martial Arts Academy, almost got into a fight with him in the Prime Minister's Mansion last time because of the funding at the end of the year.

  However, Xu Yuan didn't finish his sentence, and he rambled on:

   "Xu Changge looks handsome to outsiders, but to his father and your old friends, he is probably just a kid."

   "." Xu Changge.

   "And he's still the kind of kid who likes to pretend and boss around. I don't know about the others, but Auntie Lou Ji's personality probably can't stand him."

  “.”

   "Also, Xu Changge's pair"

   "Long day."

   "." Xu Yuan immediately turned off the microphone.

   "When you return to the Imperial Capital to engage in an engagement, the Brotherhood will go out of the city to pick you up."

   "." Xu Yuan.

   "." Xu Xinyao tried hard to hold back a smile beside her.

   For a moment, the atmosphere froze.

  In the end, it was Xu Yinhe who brought the topic back:

   "Okay, Changtian, you came to me just to confirm this?"

  Xu Yuan coughed lightly, and said in a low voice:

   "Hey, there are two more things, one small and one big."

   "Oh?" Xu Yinhe raised his tone slightly.

   "The little thing is that I want to ask my father one thing."

  Xu Yuan whispered, and glanced at Xu Xinyao at the side when he heard the words: "There is a leader of the Pingshui Gang in Vientiane City, and he knows my identity."

   Speaking of this, Xu Yuan stopped.

  Xu Yinhe listened carefully and asked:

   "You want to save his life?"

"Um."

  Xu Yuan nodded, and said truthfully: "I think his ability is very good. It's a pity that he died like this."

  Xu Yinhe didn't answer this question right away. He sat on the futon and sipped the fried tea from Tianshan.

  For a while,

  He slowly said:

   "Changtian, did you think about this, or Xinyao?"

  Xu Yuan asked slightly hesitantly:

   "Does it matter?"

"Very important."

  “.”

  Xu Yuan thought carefully, but the answer was indeed ambiguous:

   "Father, many people's achievements are limited by the platform. I think the upper limit of this Baizhao is far more than that."

   "So, you are so talented?" Xu Yinhe asked.

   "Yes." Xu Yuan nodded, and briefly explained the reason for his judgment.

  “.”

  After listening to the narration, Xu Yinhe did not agree or refuse, but uttered a sentence meaningfully:

   "Chang Tian, ​​if that person is really smart, he won't make things difficult for you."

   noon,

  West of the city, the main house of the head of the Pingshui Gang.

  The room is very quiet, the sunlight enters the room through the open door and window lattice, the dust dances and dances in the light, and there is a light meal that has been eaten on the table in the middle of the room.

   Very simple, but very warm.

  The middle-aged man with half-white temples stood at the door, watching his daughter bouncing and running towards the outside of the courtyard with gentle eyes, and looked sideways at the woman beside him.

  Under the sun, as the woman of the Pingshui gang leader, the woman's face looked a bit too mediocre, but Bai Zhao looked at her with gentle eyes.

  When she first arrived in Vientiane City in her teens, she took him in and worked as a long-term worker in her family's butcher shop. When they got married, she was the one who insisted not to let him be her husband by death. Now thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye.

   "Why do you look at me like that?"

  The woman's voice sounded very gentle.

  Bai Zhao shook his head and said with a smile:

   "It's nothing, you look as good as when you were young."

   "I'm not ashamed to say these things in broad daylight."

  The woman rolled her eyes, she was not charming, but Bai Zhao liked it very much, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Qu'er, this time you and Qingqing will be picked up after you leave the city."

  The woman looked at her husband beside her, and saw something strange in his eyes:

   "Did something happen?"

  Bai Zhao smiled, and said two words indifferently:

   "Avoid disaster."

  After more than 20 years of being together, Bai Zhao knew that he couldn't hide it from the other party, so it's better to be more direct.

  The woman asked, but it was clear that this was not the first time this kind of avoidance had happened:

"Very serious?"

  Bai Zhao shook his head:

   "It's not serious, but for the safety of you two, it's better to leave the city in advance. I'll come back in two days, maybe I'll be back in a couple of days."

  The woman didn't say anything more after hearing the words, and smiled softly:

   "Qingqing and I are waiting for you outside the city."

  Bai Zhao looked at the figure who was no longer slim due to the years, shook his head and smiled, and was about to turn around and close the door to enter the house, but in the end he stopped and gritted his teeth:

   "Zhang Qu."

  “.”

  The woman walking in the courtyard turned around with some doubts, and looked at her husband at the door:

   "If you have something to say, finish it at once."

  Bai Zhao said very seriously:

   "Thank you for all these years."

  “.”

  The woman was slightly taken aback.

  The sunlight in the courtyard was suddenly a little brighter, so big that she couldn't really see him standing in the shadow.

   Subconsciously glanced a few times, the woman turned around and spat:

   "Nervous, I... Qingqing and I are waiting for you outside the city."

  “.”

  Bai Zhao didn't answer. After silently watching the other party leave, he slowly turned to the door and picked up the scattered bowls and chopsticks on the table himself.

   Sure enough, every time this happens, she hides her worries well.

  It’s like spitting on him while helping him stitch up his wound when he started his family.

   After finishing collecting carefully, he silently sat on the main seat, looked at this luxurious room where he had worked so hard all his life, and sighed:

  “In the end, it’s still nothing”

   said,

  Bai Zhao saw the picture of the family having dinner here before, and smiled:

   "It's not completely empty"

  Lighting a roll of cigarettes with a torch, the smoke rose, and Bai Zhao slowly drew a short dagger from his waist.

  His hand was steady, but he could see his lips trembling slightly through the transparent edge of the dagger.
