Spring and Autumn I Am King

Thanks to book friends who remember Swords of Swords, Nimeitaba, and Lemon Iced Tea!

……

Tian Ben looked at Uncle Cheng, wiped the blood on his face, and said with a grim smile: "The three elders are right, this man is really drunk, just now he couldn't hold his steady, and accidentally rolled under the stone steps. Hit him in the head."

Uncle Cheng was terrified and had already collapsed on the ground. Cheng Wu didn't bother to look at him, so he took Tian Ben and walked into Cheng Weng's room.

After witnessing all this, Jing felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't say a word. He just asked his subordinates to clean up the corpse and blood and control the exits of the manor. Afterwards, he looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart, holding the dagger and guarding the door.

Cheng Wu slowly walked to the soft couch on which Cheng Weng was lying. Compared with the invincible life in the past, now this person has grown old.

Moreover, he was indeed ill, so sick that he couldn't even speak, and could only stare at Cheng Wu with his small, vicious eyes, as if he was going to swallow him in one bite.

Although he hated Cheng Weng before, the pressure accumulated by the owner over the years made Cheng Wu temporarily a little timid. He took a few deep breaths, trying to remember the miserable life after being banished from the clan, and the grievances of his parents' graves being removed from the cemetery.

What's more, Tian Ben, who had just killed a person, was still full of blood, waiting behind him with a weapon in his hand. He had to move faster. To be a lackey, you must have the consciousness of a lackey.

He took the lead to welcome the gentleman of the Zhao family. He dispatched people under the big mulberry tree to make an emergency. He forged the words of ghosts and gods at the public meeting. After half a year, he deified the identity of the gentleman as a sage who was known by life.

Cheng Wu felt that he had done a lot, and he was rewarded with peaches and li in return. He was also used by the gentleman and became one of the three elders of a township.

Now, it's the last one.

The person in front of him will eventually die, and if he becomes a witch, he will be supported by a gentleman, comfort his ancestors in the temple, and wear the crown and belt costume of the suzerain of the Cheng clan.

This is what all the children of the small sect have dreamed of, but they can't.

Cheng Wu finally made a decision. He gently lifted the quilt up to his chest with both hands, like a honest nephew who was filial to his father, showing a kind smile to Cheng Weng.

"Aon, my nephew will take you on the road..."

Futon slowly approached Cheng Weng's face, and his hateful eyes slowly turned into fear and unwillingness.

The windows in the living room were closed, and there should have been no wind, but the candles on the copper lamp stand were flickering violently. On the mat, the copper furnace at the mouth of the beast spit out a trace of fire, and it was quietly extinguished, and a faint blue smoke came out.

……

Cheng Wu stayed in the living room for only half a moment.

"Sad Aweng! His old man has been summoned by the Da Si Ming and the Young Si Ming, and he is gone!"

When he came out, he announced the news of Cheng Weng's death with a heavy face, and at the same time held a suicide note booklet that Cheng Weng appointed him to succeed the suzerain.

Tian Ben and Jing, with Zhao Bing wearing armor and holding a sword, were eyeing the tigers. With the lesson that Chenglong died just now, Uncle Cheng and the clansmen of the Cheng clan could only obey.

After a hasty and simple ceremony, they all bowed to the head, pledged the pledge, and accepted the new suzerain.

After many years of forbearance, after experiencing exile and returning, Cheng Wu wore the costume of the Three Elders and took up the stance of the head of the family.

He seemed to have flown to the rooster on the top of the chicken for the first time, and felt that this place was enough to look forward to self-promotion.

The position of the three elders of the township, coupled with the identity of the patriarch of the Cheng clan, in the past, when Cheng Weng controlled the whole town, it was nothing more than this. If you add the power that Cheng Wu secretly controls and the influence on Chengxiang's public opinion, it will be even better.

As a result, Cheng Wu's mentality changed quietly. He looked slightly dissatisfied when he looked at the four li of the Cheng clan, who had been divided and dismembered by the gentleman, as well as the ruined stone wall of the Cheng clan, and the warehouse that had been emptied.

Half a year ago, he was still applauding the gentleman's move, but when these things suddenly belonged to him, he still felt very distressed.

However, within three days, Cheng Wu's thoughtful thoughts were shattered by reality, and he dared not keep it any longer.

Originally the eldest son of the Cheng clan was Cheng He from Dongxiang. After he heard the news of his father Cheng Weng's death, he made a special trip to wear plain clothes and draft crowns and came back for the funeral.

I don't know what the gentleman of the Zhao family was thinking. He specifically ordered Cheng Wu, who could not be avoided, and asked him to contact him and be responsible for the funeral.

When Cheng He was hunting in the winter last year, the scars left by Zhao Wuxi's whip have gone away, but with the hatred of losing his father, his expression was still very terrifying.

He looked at Cheng Wu with malicious eyes, as if he knew that he was his father's enemy, and squeezed a few words out of his teeth.

"Unscrupulous son! This hatred is not shared by the sky, I will recover it!"

Because of the support of soldiers sent by Xiangsi Temple, Cheng Wu pretended to be ignorant, stood beside the cemetery, and completed the entire funeral process.

But afterwards, he broke out in a cold sweat. One is because of the guilty conscience of being threatened by Cheng He, and the other is that he suddenly understands that the position of the head of the family is not only a position of glory, but also that a gentleman puts him on the fire.

Cheng Wu can be sure that if there is no gentleman's protection, let alone those clansmen who are dissatisfied with his kin-killing, the power that Cheng He now has is enough to crush him like an ant.

What's more, his position as the suzerain of the Cheng clan has to be recognized by Zhao Qing of the lower palace. If there is no gentleman's suggestion, it is difficult to say whether he will pass.

So, Cheng Wu suddenly realized again.

"Being a dog and a running dog, you still have to have the self-consciousness of being a dog and a running dog. Every day you call to announce the dawn, sing praises to the gentleman, and bite those who dare to disobey. This is my job."

After the epiphany, he ran to the village temple, knelt down and bowed to the head, showed his loyalty again, and reported what Zhao Wuxi had explained before.

"The gentleman of good teaching knows that Uncle Cheng has followed Cheng He and left the town. There is a vertical man beside him, and another clansman, who is the dark son of the villain. The reason why they work for me, or for relatives , or for money and silk, the villain dares to guarantee that he will definitely be able to enter Dongxiang!"

Zhao Wuxi was holding a brief book in his hand and was looking at it carefully. Hearing that, he nodded slightly, but he didn't pay much attention to the witch.

Because, compared to the content in this pamphlet, the matter of placing people in the townships of his two older brothers is simply not worth mentioning.

After a month of recuperation, Zhao Guangde was in good condition. He was uncomfortable in Xinjiang Zhao Mansion, so he slipped to Chengxiang. Along with him, there was a letter from Wendi, which was written by Zhao Yang.

Zhao Wuxi opened the letter box and looked at ~www.wuxiahere.com~ and was stunned.

Judging from the content of the letter, Wei Ji's last threat to sue Zhao Wuxi seems to have been put into practice. But as Wu Xian expected, Zhao Yang didn't care about his private fight in the palace, and the fact that he was grounded and punished.

He only cares about two things. Did he win? Hit hard or not? This question made Zhao Wuxi laugh and cry. Come to think of it, Zhao Yang was also a provocateur and troublemaker in the Pan Palace when he was young, and he did not have a peaceful day.

Zhao Yang also reacted to Handan Ji's revolt against Zhao Wuxi when he took refuge in the Bank of China Heihui in the Pan Palace. He claimed to have reprimanded the Handan clan, and asked the Handan doctor to revoke the inheritance qualification of Handan Ji and replace the newly born concubine.

But Zhao Wuxi doubts whether this requirement can be strictly implemented. After all, the Zhao clan's control over the Handan clan is now minimal.

At the end of the letter, Zhao Yang also mentioned two things. One is that according to the practice of previous years, at the end of May, there will be a large shooting ceremony in the Pan Palace to select Gong Jia and the monarch's assistant.

The second thing is that in the past few months, the situation in the south has changed again, and the week-long rebellion has been suppressed. With the support of the three military officers of the Jin State, at the end of the fourth month of Xia, Duke Wang Qing and Duke Liu of Zhou Tianzi defeated the rebellious Yin clan in Qiangu and turned the situation around.

Zhao Yang estimated optimistically that perhaps by the end of May, he would be able to completely quell the rebels and return with the army.

Returning together, there may be a lady, it is Zhao Wuxi's fiancee in Song country!
