Wishful Things

"..." Wu Ran felt mixed feelings in his heart.

He is doomed not to be able to empathize with his second uncle's experience, and he doesn't know how to judge right from wrong, let alone say that the second uncle's fault lies entirely with his second uncle...

But he seemed to understand a little bit: "So, over the years, no matter how careless Second Uncle seems to be about his status and power, he has always been thinking about the position of Patriarch in his heart, right?"

"The position of head of the family?" Wu Jingling sneered as if he had heard some extremely funny joke, and there was a hint of casual disdain and arrogance in his tone: "This is your father's and yours, and the second uncle will never covet it." other people's stuff."

Wu Ran clenched his fingers: "Then what does the second uncle want? What the second uncle did was completely disregarding the future of the Wu family and the rise and fall of the Wu family. Could it be that it was just to get revenge on the so-called outdated and unfair family rules and clan members of the Wu family? It was secretly taken away." I don't know what Second Uncle intends to use that money for!"

His intuition told him that what Second Uncle will do and what he has done may be far more than what he saw...

"Whatever the second uncle wants, you will see it with your own eyes in the future." Wu Jingling stood up slowly, and the fine silk plain clothes hung down with his movement: "As for the Wu family, it is the only way to decline. It's just that Before that, Second Uncle still wants to borrow it from you..."

He still has many things to do with the Wu family.

At this time, there was a short sound of chaotic struggle outside the study.

"What do you want to do!"

"Young master...!"

Wu Ran suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the door.

The person he brought must have been restrained by the people in the second uncle's courtyard!

He looked at the person who got up and came, and said with red eyes: "Second uncle called me here, from the very beginning, he planned to make my nephew come and go—"

"Yes." Wu Jingling nodded calmly: "Azhang is still too young. You came here because of the injustice in your heart. Haven't you ever thought about the consequences? If it's not the second uncle today, but someone else, you are really serious." I'm going to die here..."

While talking, he was about to come to the boy, and stopped two steps away, with conflicting pity in his eyes: "There are already too many people who have died, and the second uncle has no intention of hurting your life...you just need to disappear in front of people." After a period of time, after Second Uncle finishes the matter, he will return the Wu family to you."

It's just that he can't guarantee what the Wu family will look like by then.

Thinking of what he was about to do, Wu Jingling suppressed the complicated look of pity between his brows and eyes, glanced at the letter in the boy's hand, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Since you have intercepted the secret letter, to show your sincerity, Second Uncle It is unavoidable that I have to go out of the city to have a detailed discussion with the imperial envoy... You can stay here and wait for the second uncle to come back."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

No one will know that Zhang has been here today.

Even if there are voices of doubt, they will all disappear.

The door of the study room was opened by a servant from the outside, and a gust of cool wind flowed into the room.

Wu Ran raised his head abruptly, and asked in a fixed voice towards the back: "Grandfather, father, mother, and second brother...are they really killed by the current court?!"

Why—"Too many people have died, and the second uncle has no intention of 're' hurting your life"? !

Wu Jingling paused, his back seemed to be frozen.

Wu Ran couldn't see his expression clearly, but he always felt that he would hear an affirmative answer in the next moment.

But Wu Jingling never answered.

Even so, it already made the boy almost stiff and cold.

Is this the default...

Don't you have the courage to face him and admit that you killed your father and brother? !

He thought about it and accepted that his second uncle took advantage of the chaos to fight for power in the face of the Patriarch's position...

But he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't dare to think about it at all—from the beginning, if the accident happened to his grandfather and the others in Longqi Mountain, could it be the second uncle's fault? !

Yes, the grandfather, father, mother, and second brother just suspended animation at the moment...

But what if grandfather and the others never escaped, and everything happened by accident? !

——That is the second uncle killed them!

This is his grandfather, his father and mother, his second brother...

But isn't it the second uncle's biological father, the second uncle's brother-in-law, and the nephew that the second uncle watched growing up in front of his eyes? !

What kind of bargaining chip is it that can make the second uncle be so cruel?

He felt completely unthinkable...

He didn't know what bargaining chip in this world could be worth the lives of his family members, and could make a person no longer resemble a human being at all!

Seeing that figure had already crossed the threshold, the boy suddenly came back to his senses, and hurried forward to chase after him: "Second Uncle, do you insist on going to the point where you can't turn back!"

He wanted to chase forward, but he was stopped by the door by two followers.

Wu Jingling had already descended the stone steps, his steps were slightly slow, and he looked at the cloudy sky.

turn back?

There is no possibility of him turning back.

It never occurred to him to look back, either.

Negotiating peace with the imperial court was not his original intention, but if he said what he hated and despised the most in this world, the Wu family who gave birth to him and refused to give him fairness could barely be ranked second...

What he hates the most is the Daqing court!

But the time has not yet come, and there are still many things that need to be deployed and planned. He can only deal with these idiots for a while, in exchange for more favorable conditions.

And one day, he will trample the entire Daqing under his feet, and tear off their hypocritical, greedy and incompetent faces with his own hands, so as to restore the brightness and clarity of the world!

Wu Jingling had a fleeting frenzy in his eyes, so he withdrew his gaze and strode forward.

However, at this moment, the sound of several fireworks rising into the air and exploding suddenly sounded in the sky above the palace.

Wu Jingling frowned slightly.

This is the signal fireworks that the Wu family used to report——

He turned around and looked at the boy who was still blocked in the study door: "It turns out that Zhang came prepared..."

As he spoke, he laughed again: "But what's the use."

He didn't do anything unprepared, and now his people are everywhere in the palace and even in the clan. With a nine-year-old child, how can he make any troubles?

Following the sound of the signal, there was a sound of footsteps approaching Songqingyuan very quickly.

A group of more than ten people was stopped outside the courtyard by Wu Jingling's people, and there were noisy disputes.

"Don't be rude." Wu Jingling came at a leisurely pace, signaling to his followers not to stop each other.

Seeing him, Guanshi Yin immediately asked solemnly: "Dare to ask Second Master, where is Fourth Young Master?"

"Boss Yin!" A boy's voice came from the courtyard.

Manager Yin felt relieved.

"Boss Yin actually found it himself." Wu Jingling smiled, then looked at the silver-haired old man in a long gown beside Guanshi Yin, and said in surprise: "Mr. Zhen is also here, Jing Ling is really disappointed— —”

Seeing that he did not answer, Mr. Zhen's expression darkened: "Second Master really has the intention to usurp power!"

"If not, wouldn't you be disappointed?" Wu Jingling smiled slightly and said, "I have to say, Mister is really smart."

Inspired by these two words, Mr. Zhen's old and slumped cheeks trembled slightly: "...he is clearly a talented person, but why is he unwilling to use it on the righteous way! Do you really want to destroy yourself and insist on being a house thief! "

"House thief?" Wu Jingling laughed when he heard that, "Sir, this is a mistake..."

Immediately, he raised his sleeves and made a gesture of invitation: "Jing Ling still has important matters to attend to. Since Mr. Yin and Guanshi Yin have come, please wait in your seat. bit."

"You..." The opponent was warm and polite, but he was extremely shameless, and Mr. Zhen was trembling with anger at his age: "How dare you detain me as many as possible!"

How dare?

Wu Jingling was still smiling.

Why not.

Could it be that the bastard was born with shackles, so he shouldn't dare to do anything?

Unfortunately, he is not.

His identity has never been the so-called concubine of the Wu family.

I saw dozens of swordsmen rushing out from all directions. Surrounding himself and Mr. Zhen, Guanshi Yin, who had been exceptionally calm all this time, still didn't feel flustered. He only looked at Wu Jingling and said slowly: "The defeat has been decided, and the second master should stop being obsessed with his obsession."

Wu Jingling looked at him amusedly: "Boss Yin has time to see the situation clearly."

And he was not in the mood to chat with these uninterested people at the moment.

"Please entertain the two of you on my behalf."

After Wu Jingling confessed, he left the courtyard with two entourages.

However, the situation did not allow him to leave here, but just after taking a few steps, he heard the sound of unusually neat and fast footsteps approaching here.

Wu Jingling was a little impatient.

He glanced at Guanshi Yin, and said with a sneer: "It seems that Guanshi Yin wants me to gain authority in the mansion on purpose today—"

He originally wanted to deal with these trivial matters later, but these people are eager to die.

He glanced at the entourage beside him.

Then follow the understanding and walk away quickly.

At this time, the person who came was also approaching, Wu Jingling looked slightly surprised.

The people who came were all wearing military uniforms, not the guards and guards of the palace, but the soldiers of the Wu family stationed outside the city... The leader was Gao Yin, the most prestigious lieutenant general in the barracks!

"Enclose this place!" Gao Yin didn't say a word of nonsense, just stopped, glanced at the surrounding situation, and ordered solemnly.

"Wait!" Wu Jingling raised his hand to interrupt his explanation, looked at the forty-year-old lieutenant with a cold aura, and asked, "Dare to ask why did the lieutenant general Gao Wuzhao lead his troops out of the camp without authorization and enter the palace?" It depends on the military regulations!"

This person is also one of the targets he intends to subdue next. His deployment is to first infiltrate the Wangfu and the Wu clan. If the general trend of the clan is determined by then, it is expected that everyone in these military camps will definitely not dare to be ignorant——

But now this person dared to enter the city without being called, and he came so quickly, as if he had been prepared for a long time...

This is extremely abnormal!

Seeing Gao Yin take a look at Steward Yin, Wu Jingling sneered and said, "Staff Yin is quite talented, to be able to act as a steward at such a critical moment! I would like to ask Deputy General Gao, what are you doing?" Loyal to my Wu family, or just a steward in the middle of the palace?!"

Gao Yin's face remained unchanged: "Gao and others are only loyal to the Patriarch Wu—"

"Heh." Wu Jingling smiled with his hands behind his back.

"It's a good sentence to only be loyal to the Patriarch Wu."

So, this is for his family Zhang "Qingjun side" come?

"In this case, Wu wants to remind Vice General Gao." He looked at Gao Yin and said, "Now that the ceremony of establishing the head of the family has not been performed, it means that the clan has not really decided on the next Patriarch——Vice General Gao is in a hurry to enter at this time. Mansion, don't you also want to have a foot in the matter of establishing the Patriarch, and give some pointers?"

The selection of the head of the family is a family matter of the Wu family. Throughout the ages, even the royal family has no right to interfere, let alone a mere deputy general of the military camp.

If Gao Yin dares to answer this sentence, it can be seen that he also has the intention to overstep and violate the superior.

This crime is heavier.

If you don't, you should know your interest and leave.

It is impossible for Gao Yin to respond——

He didn't even answer the words at all, but just led the soldiers sideways to avoid to one side, and made a way silently.

This action gave Wu Jingling a very bad premonition in his heart.

He straightened his body almost instantly, and raised his eyes to look in front of the crowd.

He likes the sparseness of flowers and trees, and indulges in the feeling of mountains and rivers. Therefore, when you leave Songqingyuan, you can see the wildness and nature, covered with vegetation and rockery, winding lotus ponds with narrow streams, and gravel paths leading to secluded places.

At this time, in the depths of the winding path, a group of figures appeared...

And even though it was just a glimpse at the moment, Wu Jingling's whole body was frozen, and all the blood on his face faded.

The old man with a serious face was wearing a dark gray gown, and beside him was a tall and straight young man in a crow blue robe.

"Father..." Wu Jingling said in a daze, his voice was as low as talking to himself.

"My lord." Gao Yin stepped forward to salute: "My son, my grandson."

"..." Those close followers who had originally detained Guanshi Yin and Mr. Zhen were all shocked when they saw this!

Isn't the prince and his descendants already dead and buried!

Why are they all back? !

And it's clear that the sky is bright, it's obviously a human and not a ghost!

But at this time, for them, seeing a living person is much more terrifying than seeing a ghost... The living person will settle accounts with them!

So, the fireworks that announced the letter just now...

The one who is really coming is not Guanshi Yin, nor Vice-General Gao...

But the prince!

Swept by the old man's calm and coercive gaze, everyone's hearts trembled in panic.

"...My lord! You are still alive! You are back!" Mr. Zhen was so excited that he burst into tears, he broke free from the restraints of the two followers, and ran towards King Dingnan quickly. Went to the arms of his prince.

And when he stood beside his lord, he did not forget to glare at Guanshi Yin.

He said how could Guanshi Yin come so calmly, compared to his young age, he seemed so underdeveloped, and the co-author knew the inside story of the prince's health early on!

But how does he know this as a teacher?

He only feels sorry for the prince!

Mr. Zhen looked at King Dingnan who had returned safely with joy in his eyes, and his heart was settled.

Wu Chao had ordered all the soldiers to take down all Wu Jingling's men.

Wu Jingling, who had just gone to gather the men, followed closely, and just brought the men back, before he had time to discern the situation, he was also restrained on the spot.

Although it happened suddenly and there was chaos, there were very few people who resisted.

The patriarch is dead, and they turned against each other for profit or other considerations, but they all know that following Wu Jingling to succeed this time must rely on the advantage of the current situation where the Wu family's hearts are scattered. ——

But at the moment, the Patriarch is not dead, and has returned!

Good night everyone, I started to write and save the manuscript today, and I will update it early tomorrow.
