A strong smell of gunpowder was quietly sweeping the scene.
But when faced with Situ Huo's various difficulties, none of the elders of the Xia family dared to stand up and speak out for their family.
The room was unusually quiet.
Perhaps because he felt that the previous preparations were almost complete, Situ Feng, who was also the head of the clan, said to everyone with a troubled face: "Everyone, it's not that our Situ family is overbearing, nor do we have to choose this time to come and fight with your Xia family. I'm asking for an explanation, but now the arrow is on the string, if all the guests invited by our Situ family are present, then the face of our Situ family will be completely ruined."
"In Zhongzhou, I, Situ, can be considered a big and respectable family, but I hope you can understand the situation I am facing now."
"That's right, the Situ family also has its own difficulties."
"Although I say so, what can we do?"
"Oh, it would be great if the patriarch is still awake, at least he can still"
Situ Feng's words immediately broke the tranquility here, and even the elders of the Xia family began to discuss in low voices.
"Clan Chief Situ, what do you mean by this?" At this time, someone in the Xia family's team suddenly shouted.
Later.
"That's right, Chief Situ, if you have any idea, just tell me."
"Yes, you are not an outsider. Now that the patriarch is ill, I will wait. I really can't make up my mind."
Others quickly echoed.
???????????? Xia Yuhan, the clan leader, is indeed quite aggrieved. When he is in power, he has to shoulder the burden of the whole clan alone, and there is almost no one who can share his worries.
But when he fell, the elders hiding under his shade turned to outsiders in an instant.
Now, he really doubts what these people have in their heads. They can't see their tricks at all, and they are all licking their faces and trying to make friends with them in an extremely polite way.
"Haha, elders, why don't you get up first." Situ Feng smiled slightly, and after pretending to help an elder of the Xia family, he said sincerely: "Everyone, although I, Situ Feng, am usually He doesn¡¯t come to the Xia family very often, but he and your Xia clan leader have always been brothers and sisters. Seeing him in this state, to be honest, my heart aches, and I can even say that I am in pain!¡±
"But there is no other way. In this world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the weak, we cannot abandon the inheritance left by our ancestors just because of someone's life or death, because from the day we were born, we are destined to bear this."
"Clan Chief Situ"
"You, you"
Seeing that his opening remarks had achieved the desired effect, Situ Feng felt happy, but his face still maintained the same look as before, and continued: "Everyone, I won't say much else. I think Xia There are two things that the family should do most at the moment. One is to send Xia Mingxia¡¯s nephew as soon as possible so that the wedding of the two families can start as scheduled. In this way, the world can be blocked from the leisurely By saying this, our Situ family can save the necessary face. Secondly, it can also be used to solidify the in-law relationship between our two families, so that those wavering grassroots will not dare to fall in line easily, and it can also prevent the Tang family from continuing. It¡¯s possible to sit big.¡±
"Well, that makes sense. It seems that this matter can't be delayed any longer."
"Yes, this is obviously a win-win situation. I really don't know what Chief Xia has been thinking."
"Yes, what about the second one?"
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
"Well As for the second thing" Situ Feng first glanced at everyone without revealing any trace, and after struggling for a while, he suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and said righteously: " Well, as the saying goes, a family cannot be without a master, and a country cannot be without a king. Maybe I shouldn¡¯t say this at this time, but if no one in this dignified Xia family can take the initiative, then I¡¯m afraid"
He deliberately did not say any more, and kept capturing everyone's subtle expressions.
You must know that in the eyes of the Xia family, even if he is the head of the Situ family, in the final analysis, he is just an outsider.
Logically speaking, if this kind of thing came from the mouths of the elders of his Xia family, it would be justified based on emotion and reason. However, if Situ Feng had expressed his attitude first, this would be a bit too much.
¡°That¡¯s why he stopped at the right time, not only letting this group of people understand his thoughts, but also cleverly achieving his goal.
And things seem to be developing slowly in the direction he wants.
I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of his sincere attitude or because??That is a selfless statement.
After a while.
A skinny white-haired old man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd. He was holding Situ Feng's hand tightly and said with tears: "Chief Situ, you are so right. They all say that Long Wu The head is not good. What our Xia family needs most is indeed a good patriarch who can lead us forward. Your words not only allowed us to see the current situation clearly immediately, but also saved my Xia family from the disaster. Others covet me, I, I really thank you!"
As he spoke, his voice began to choke, and his whole body knelt down with a bang.
"You are not afraid that nothing good will happen, but you are afraid that there are not good people."
"As everyone knows, Xia Yuhan, who was lying on the bed, was almost pissed to death by the old guy's impromptu performance. If he could move, he would have to remove all the bones in the old guy's body one by one.
At this time, .co m Zhang Si. "What are you doing?" Situ Feng hurriedly held the old man's hand and said seriously: "Senior, our two families are close friends with each other. There is absolutely no way you can do this."
"Clan Leader Situ, then tell me, who should be the patriarch of our Xia family?" The old man's whole body was trembling, as if he was really touched by Situ Feng's kind deed.
强牺  读牺。 "Elder, this is your Xia family's business. How can our Feng Clan Chief say so much?" Situ Huo next to him finally caught the clue. Seeing the best opportunity, he grinned and said, "But according to Huo, it seems that only the two elders Yu Qing and Yu Ning are more suitable for the position of patriarch of the Xia family, right?"
"Well, whether it's qualifications or merit, these two are indeed more suitable than others."
"That's right, and the two of them are still brothers of my Clan Leader Xia. If Clan Leader Xia recovers from his illness, there won't be too many arguments between his brothers."
"Yes, I agree."
"Well, I agree"
To control the big and to control the owl. It is said that those in authority are confused, but onlookers know clearly.
At this time, the elders of the Xia family have been completely brainwashed by the "good intentions" of Situ Feng and others.
But what no one knows is that every move they make is being watched closely by a pair of eyes hidden outside the house
