Chapter 659 Three Chips (please vote for me)

Cui Wen?Z's expression that had always been calm finally turned a little weird. He looked Zhao Changhe up and down for a while, feeling surprised that you, the kid, could see through me so clearly.

You had anticipated the ending when you borrowed the sword, and were you already thinking about adapting to the new era? So what is he doing now, and what is everyone arguing about on offense and defense?

Who dares to make such a judgment, but Zhao Changhe does.

Even Cui Yuanyang is holding his chin and wondering who Brother Zhao is dating... It seems that I don't know my father as well as you do.

And after you came here, what you said to me was not even one percent of what my father said...

But this understanding is true.

A long time ago, Cui Wen Z had this to say: "I, Cui Wen Z, think I am not worthy of the Qinghe Sword. How many of the Cui family are aware of this? The Divine Sword Spirit is gone. They don't want to think about the reason, but use the most disgusting meaning of the Excalibur as a bargaining chip to fight for power. Even if the spirit of the Excalibur is still there, they should cry!"

If others are said to be unworthy because they are so stubborn, Cui Wen Z is actually pretty good, but why does he think he is not worthy of the Qinghe Sword?

Because he knew in his heart that Qinghe Sword was not inherited by one family. There is a fundamental conflict between the meaning represented by the Divine Sword and their heritage as a family. His one-third-acre land, which his son-in-law said was "not very high-end", is not worthy of Qinghe.

Even if what he does is much more upright than others, he still cannot echo Qinghe's intention, because as long as he still has this kind of consciousness of one family and one surname, it must be contrary to Qinghe. The reason why the children are recognized is because they happen to be doing things to protect the family and the country, but this is not the Cui family's practice. They can be recognized for a while now, but they will lose it in the future, or the next generation, and the next generation... Clearing the river is a matter of time.

Cui Wen Z has been thinking about what would happen to the family without Qing He a long time ago.

He likes to look at the flowing water in the pavilions, and he often looks at it for a whole day. What he sees is not the flowing water, but a world that seems to be unchanged, but in fact has long been different.

This is a resurgence of gods and demons, a major change that has not happened in thousands of years. Every moment, the earth may be turned upside down, and Qinghe should not respond to this change.

His white head may not be due to his body.

"A sword can protect you at most? Sisters and troubles? If you want to restore the old checks and balances, you need four swords. Uncle, do you think all four families can do it?" Zhao Changhe said slowly: "It can't be done. Yes, your family's sword will only serve as an inheritance in the end. What is the difference between it and the inheritance of Shenhuang Sect? It may not be as good... Even if I give you the same treatment as before, can you keep it... Likewise, what’s the use of that unknown **** and demon’s promise? This **** and demon came from the north of Myanmar?”

Cui Wen?Z: "..."

"Since you regard me as the spokesperson of the gods and demons, then everyone weighs the chips on the same scale. Let’s talk about it one by one. First of all, on the matter of restoring the Qinghe Sword, I can provide and Does his equal promise count as reciprocity? ”

"Forget it."

"Secondly, the new dynasty promised that my uncle's original title of Marquis of Ji would not change, and that he would be hereditary and retire with the country. On the contrary, he would not assume the original rights and responsibilities, but only empty the land and get money. In short, as long as this As long as the imperial court is still there, the descendants of the Cui family will have food to eat."

Cui Wen Z was startled, and then heard Zhao Changhe continue: "We can only guarantee this food. As for our own rights, we have to fight for them. With such a strong family foundation, before anyone else Preemptive preparation is to be the first in the world and to be ahead of the trend. I don't understand family management, but my uncle should understand. If you can't grasp this kind of trend, then why is Qinghe Cui so shameless? Waiting for death, just rely on a sword? If you really want to do this, you will die tomorrow. I believe my uncle knows it very well."

Cui Wen Z swallowed back what he wanted to say.

I really wanted to ask, what about the power in the future?

But when I think about it, I don’t have the shame to ask, how much will the ancestors have to worry about if future generations are unworthy? It is enough to ensure that one mouthful of food can be eaten by a gentleman who has been killed for five generations.

No matter how hyped up others' guarantees are, Cui Wen Z also knows that they cannot be guaranteed.

It's just that for this kind of thing, own approval is not enough.

Huge families, people who can eat a lot of food with their eyes closed under the old system, will not be willing to accept such a future. They will only agree with promises that others may not be able to fulfill, and do what they want to do. The dream of preserving the glory of the past.

If your son or daughter is promising, then you don’t care about others, right?

You have a title inheritance, what about others?

Cui Wen?Z sometimes feels...tired.

If the family is regarded as an empire, then Xia Longyuan, who has only force, cannot make the entire huge world system follow his footsteps. Now he, Cui Wen?Z, is also facing the same problem. Some things must be broken before they can be rebuilt. It is very difficult to implement things from the top down.

He said a little tiredly: "Not enough."

Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Uncle, do you know something?"

"What?"

"On my way here, I was assassinated."

Cui Wen Z was stunned and frowned tightly.

The assassination was so small that it wouldn't even be enough to squeeze Zhao Changhe's teeth, but the reflection was very interesting.

The assassination was aimed at the envoy. Zhao Changhe was not sure whether the order was issued by Cui Wen?Z, so it was inappropriate to tell him about it directly. But now looking at Cui Wen Z's attitude, he is obviously waiting for a price and weighing the chips on both sides. It is impossible to assassinate the imperial envoy at this time, so the order was not given by him.

Since it wasn't him, who was sabotaging his act of selling at a price?

Wang, Yang, and Li families? Or someone else from the Cui family?

On the short path from the capital to Qinghe, other families may not be able to intervene. The Cui family's control is not that weak. In other words, the Cui family has the highest possibility.

If it is the Cui family, does it mean that in addition to Cui Wenjue, a new small group has emerged in the Cui family. Before the head of the family has made a conclusion, it has already leaned on others and tried to assassinate the envoy. A way to force the family owner to make a choice?

Cui Wen Z is very opinionated and will not be easily swayed by someone's words, but others may not be the same. Once others accept other options, they will definitely worry that the family head will have undue tendencies due to his relationship with Zhao Changhe, and will try to nip the matter in the bud.

Zhao Changhe smiled: "This proves two points. First, the other party actually knows that his promise may not be effective, and even knows that he is just deceiving from beginning to end. He has no confidence in competing with me head-on for my uncle's preference. You have to use your brain. Just on this point, my uncle can tell him to get out..."

Cui Wen Z smiled: "Not bad."

"Second, I am very dangerous now. Now that the other party knows that I have arrived in Qinghe, he will definitely come to kill me. As long as I die, there will be no trouble."

"So? You want me to help you?"

"No, uncle just needs to pretend that he doesn't know anything." Zhao Changhe's voice became colder: "Some people are actually no longer loyal to uncle... Of course, to uncle, that may not be considered loyal. It may not be easy to deal with betrayal, so let me handle it. If you want to assassinate me, you will have to pay the price."

Cui Wen?Z squinted his eyes and did not express his position.

Zhao Changhe said lightly: "Since we are looking at this matter in terms of a game between gods and demons, we must have the appearance of gods and demons. This is the first war between gods and demons. It is useless to rely on words. After all, it depends on the situation. Whoever has the toughest fists... They want to help you make decisions that are difficult for your uncle to make, and I also want to help you make them. Your uncle can wait for the outcome before making any decisions - strength is the third bargaining chip."

Cui Wen?Z stared closely into Zhao Changhe's eyes. Zhao Changhe looked at each other calmly. The atmosphere suddenly changed from a confrontation of verbal attacks and defenses to a mutual understanding and sympathy, to a tense one.

Cui Yuanyang didn't even understand what was being said here. He only understood that Zhao Changhe was in danger here and that there would be gods and demons trying to kill him. Then the atmosphere suddenly became like this...

Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously said: "Dad..."

Cui Wen Z suddenly spoke: "Yang Yang, go and send a message to the clan elders, saying that my father is unwell, and ask Wen Wei and the others to invite King Zhao to have lunch. Don't go to accompany him either. The girl who is getting married, please follow the rules Why would you rush to the city gate to see your husband before marriage? Isn’t my daughter like this? Ridiculous!”

Cui Yuanyang: "?"

Why did you suddenly start scolding me...

Looking at Zhao Changhe for help, Zhao Changhe just smiled slightly: "Yangyang, go prepare for the wedding. I said that I will not take you to elope and will only marry you in an upright manner."
