The two looked at each other, and Qi Jue whispered: "Boss, as soon as this rumor comes out, we will leave the tricks to control Niu Youde and it will be ruined."

Cao Fengchi remained silent, and Cao Man stared at her.

After a while of silence in the room, Cao Man suddenly spoke, "Fengchi, how should I treat you?"

Cao Fengchi said respectfully: "Treat Fengchi like his biological granddaughter."

Cao Man: "I do see you as my own granddaughter. I hide in this place where no one is human, no ghost, no ghost, and I have no children in my life. Sooner or later, this Xinyi Pavilion wants you to be the head of the family, so I keep you by my side. Do you understand?"

Cao Fengchi was happy inside, but he said in a hurry, panic and humble manner on the surface: "Three Grandpa, granddaughter has limited abilities, so please ask the Third Grandpa to choose another talent."

Cao Man raised his hand and stopped him and asked, "What do you think the head of the family treats me?"

Cao Fengchi hesitated a little and shook his head slowly and said, "Fengchi doesn't know how to evaluate it."

Cao Man sighed: "I don't know, that means you know in your heart. If I hadn't relied on Niu Youde, I would have died of a life of misfortune. But how long can such a day last? The head of the family will still have to attack me sooner or later. Outsiders may not know about this, but insiders know it!"

Speaking of this, Cao Man seemed to be a little excited, stood up and walked back and said, "For the sake of the Xiahou family, I have been hiding in the dark for so many years. For the sake of the family, I am sincere, conscientious and loyal. I have devoted my life to the Xiahou family, but Xiahou Ling can't tolerate me and attacked me for his own selfish desires and ignoring my brothers and sisters! I am afraid that it is not just me who wants to get rid of it, but because I am standing in the bright place, if something happens to other brothers, the rest of the rest will inevitably be with me, which makes him quite afraid, so he regards me as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh, and wants to get rid of it quickly!"

Cao Fengchi and Qi Jue were frightened when they heard it. The first time he heard him openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the head of the family.

If Cao Fengchi remembers correctly, when he went to the Ghost General's Mansion together, the third grandfather almost turned against Niu Youde in order to protect the head of the family.

Dong! Cao Man suddenly punched the table with a punch and said angrily: "If I surrender my hands and die, I can be merciless to others, then I will die as my death, so why not die? But he may not let me do it! If I don't die, he will still be afraid and dare not attack other brothers. If I die, other brothers will have no way to survive! The Xiahou family is not afraid of external troubles, but civil strife. Xiahou Ling is determined to do this. The Xiahou family will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later. What do you think I should do?"

Ask them for their opinions on this kind of thing, how do they answer?

Cao Fengchi and Qijue quickly bowed and said, "I wish to follow my boss to the death!"

They could only say this. Seeing Cao Man say this to this point, they knew that if they didn't make such a statement, they would be afraid that they would not leave Xinyi Pavilion alive...

The green mountains are high, the bright moon shines, and a lonely boat floats with the river.

Yuan Gong sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, listening to the apes crying and tigers roaring in the mountains, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, looking like a free and carefree, but his heart was extremely uneasy. He held a star bell in his hand and hadn't made a sound for many years.

The Ghost General's Office contacted him several times, but he did not dare to respond because he suddenly received an incredible accusation, the incomprehensible accusation from his father Xiahou Tuo!

The starling in my hand, which is specially used to contact my father, has never been moved since his father's death. It is just a commemoration and a nostalgia on me!

He never dreamed that one day the star bell would send him another message.

When the star bell woke up again, he couldn't believe it, thinking that he was dreaming, and his hands holding the star bell were trembling.

But the facts proved that he was not dreaming, it was really a message from his father. Then he realized that his father was not dead. His father just turned from the light to the dark, and he kept watching everything that was born in the Xiahou family. His father's death was just a fool and pretended to die!

Xiahou Tuo did not answer him too much, but said to him one sentence: You have been exposed, Niu Youde already knows your background, immediately start the fourth generation of Xiahou family to take over your shift, disappear immediately, and the clan elders will contact you.

The Xiahou family emerged from his grandfather Xiahou Chang'an, so he used his grandfather Xiahou Chang'an as the first generation, Xiahou Tuo as the second generation, and he was the third generation. Starting the fourth generation to take over his shift means that he would officially let go of the power of the Xiahou family.

As for the clan elders, it was also founded by Xiahou Tuo. It is the most mysterious existence of the Xiahou family. Not anyone in the Xiahou family can enter. Only when the Xiahou family has officially held power in one place can they enter after being exposed or retreated. Only when the Xiahou family has officially held power in the Xiahou family knows the existence of the clan elders, but they don’t know where it is. Even the old man’s confidant Wei Shu didn’t know. When he took over this power, his father Xiahou Tuo officially told the existence of the clan elders.

After joining the clan elders' meeting, all the star bells who have contacted the outside world must be handed over, and from then on, they will give up all their power, give up all their extravagant love for the outside world, and enjoy a happy life.

But only those who have held the power of the Xiahou family like him know the great influence of the Clan Old Man Association. According to his own guess, the Clan Old Man Association should be the last trump card of the Xiahou family. Although the previous powers have given up their power, it does not mean that the influence has completely disappeared. Anyone who manages the power in his hands will have some of his own people in secret for so many years. Once the Clan Old Man Association agrees to pick up the star bell for external contact again, the influence will have an effect.

The mysterious guards around the head of the Xiahou family came from the clan elders' association. The outside world could not find any origin, and the guards of the family did not contact the outside world. The only responsibility was to protect the head of the family and did not care about anything else. This was their only responsibility.

Duke Yuan even doubted whether the old man had handed over the power of the clan elders to Xiahou Ling, otherwise why would he have been using these brothers for so many years? Now the old man suddenly came, which further confirmed his speculation.

If Xiahou Ling had something inexplicably exposed, he wanted him to hand over power, and he didn't even explain it, he might not listen. But the old man suddenly resurrected from the dead and ordered him, and he dared not refuse to obey, so he could only retire from now on!

Thinking of this, Yuan Gong, who was sitting cross-legged in the breeze and bright moon, suddenly smiled bitterly, afraid that if he had not wanted to retire, the old man might not have let him know that he was still alive!

“Have you not contacted yet?”

In the Governor's Mansion, Miao Yi stared at Xu Tangran and asked coldly.

Seeing Miao Yi's expression was wrong, Xu Tangran had already sweated coldly on his forehead, and cursed his ancestor Yuan Gong and said embarrassedly: "I don't know where he went, and I haven't responded yet. My subordinates will continue to contact us until we get in touch!"

Yang Zhaoqing, who was beside him, also frowned deeply. He also contacted him, but he could not contact Yuan Gong.

Miao Yi waved his hand and shouted: "It's useless to contact me, go check!"

"Yes, yes, I'll check it now!" Xu Tangran nodded and bowed, turned around and left quickly. After leaving the hall, he raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He saw that the momentum that the adults inadvertently exposed was more and more stressful.

Without facing that pressure, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but in my heart he was scolding Yuan Gong where he died, and nothing would happen.

In the back hall, Yang Qing slowly walked out and came to Miao Yi, with a serious look on his face: "How could it suddenly disappear at this time?"

Miao Yi's face was indeed not good-looking. He was about to use the mouth of Yuan Gong to put pressure on Cao Man to force Cao Man to submit, but Yuan Gong suddenly disappeared at this time and was caught off guard.

Yang Zhaoqing said: "Really speaking, he shouldn't know that his identity has been exposed. Could something be wrong?"

Yang Qing shook his head slowly and said, "Duke Yuan has an extraordinary status in the Xiahou family. The guarantee measures they should be not bad. There is little possibility of accidents easily if there is no movement. If something really happens, it will make people feel relieved. If it is afraid, it will be afraid... If it doesn't disappear sooner or later, how could it disappear at this time?" His suspicious look flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Miao Yi suddenly found the star bell and contacted it for a while. After putting it down, he remained silent.

Yang Qing waited for a while and couldn't help asking, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"Cao Man contacted me and gave me a sentence."

"What's the matter?"

"He didn't know anything about Xiahou Lingsheng!"

Yang Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "It seems that Cao Man has finally made up his mind to sit in that position. He does not want to take any responsibility and wants to borrow the help of the adults. In this way, there is no need to put any pressure on him. Whether Yuan Gong is still or not is no longer a big problem."

Miao Yi twitched his lips and said coldly: "Duke Yuan suddenly disappeared, Cao Man agreed again. Why do I feel something is wrong with this matter together?"

Yang Qing didn't say anything, frowning deeply. (To be continued.)8
