Ancestral hall.
"My lord, there are not enough seats." The subordinate came to report.
The old man from the ancestral hall said with a serious face: "We brought tables and chairs from the school and filled the front and middle courtyards."
"There are too many people coming, and there are even more and more postures. Something is wrong!"
The elder of the ancestral hall smelled a conspiracy.
"Go, hurry up Ning Zhuo! Why is this kid walking so slowly? Not yet, many family elders are here. Is he putting on such a big score?"
The elders of the ancestral hall know very well that the longer the time is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to the main line.
At this time, someone suddenly reported: "The young patriarch has arrived——!"
The elders of the ancestral hall and others immediately got up and left the central hall to greet him.
Ning Xiaoren came to the ancestral hall one step ahead. When he saw the elders of the ancestral hall, he immediately walked forward and handed over to the elders of the ancestral hall. His face was calm and calm, and he secretly said anxiously: "For the sake of my father, please save me."
save!"
When the elder of the ancestral hall family heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Just at this moment, Ning Youfu and Ning Zui's group arrived.
The elder of the ancestral hall made a scene and quickly got rid of Ning Xiaoren and went to meet Ning Youfu.
The old people in the ancestral hall laughed: "Mr. Fu, you are here! It is really rare that the younger generations will have the opportunity to listen to your teachings."
Ning Youfu chuckled: "I am an old man whose days are numbered. I wanted to live a leisurely life, but this happened and I had to do it. Next to me is Ning Zhuo's dear uncle Ning Chu."
The elder of the ancestral hall said oh and took the initiative to lead the way, asking Ning Youfu and Ningzhi to enter the ancestral hall.
During this period, Ning Xiaoren sent a message to him, but he just ignored him and made no response.
People from the ancestral hall came to urge Ning Zhuo and whispered to Ning Zhuo: "Ning Zhuo, you have done a great job. Now many family members are here at the ancestral hall, but you haven't even finished half of the journey."
Ning Zhuo apologized quickly, saying that the tribe had asked too many questions and wasted a little time explaining each one. He asked the envoy to go back and said that Ning Zhuo would be here soon.
After the people in the ancestral hall left, Ning Zhuo continued to go his own way, even at a slower pace.
Thanks to his constant explanations, more and more tribesmen gathered around him.
The size of his team swelled to more than sixty people.
When turning a corner, an old man holding a cane and three followers looked at Ning Zhuo from a distance and waved to him slightly.
Someone in Ning Zhuo's team suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, it's the boss of Ning Houjun!"
Ning Houjun was also the elder of the family and the elder of the Zhantang family. However, he voluntarily resigned from his post more than ten years ago and has been enjoying his old age at home.
Like Ning Youfu, Ning Houjun is also a branch of the clan and has high popularity.
Ning Zhuo quickly quickened his pace, came to the front of Ning Houjun, and saluted deeply.
Ning Houjun looked Ning Zhuo up and down and praised: "Well, the young man is handsome and high-spirited, he looks like a young man."
"I have heard about your matter."
"This time I will accompany you to visit the clan ancestral hall."
Ning Zhuo expressed his thanks, and the tribesmen around him began to cheer, saying that with the boss of Ning Houjun accompanying him, this trip would be a success!
Ning Zhuo and Ning Houjun walked side by side, talking to each other in words and transmitting messages secretly.
Ning Houjun sent a message and asked: "Young man, do you know who is the most critical person in this operation?"
Without thinking, Ning Zhuo replied through a message: "It's the ancestor."
He was not talking about the ancestors, but the Jindan ancestors.
Ning Houjun glanced at Ning Zhuo, his eyes showed admiration, and continued to transmit: "Yes, you can see clearly."
"The ancestor of our clan is not the main lineage. The Jindan ancestor of the main lineage has great favors to him. Therefore, the ancestor takes care of the main lineage. But he himself has no direct blood descendants."
"For this reason, more than ten years ago, the branches of our clan gathered together to attack the main line. Although they failed, the ancestors did not come forward to say anything during the whole process."
Ning Zhuo nodded: "If that's the case, then I will definitely win this time."
"That's right." Ning Houjun smiled and continued to transmit, "I always like to win battles. Otherwise, why would I join your group? This time, it's just a matter of winning more and winning less."
Clan ancestral hall.
The heads of the Ning family are here.
The patriarch's face was expressionless: "Then Ning Zhuo still hasn't come?"
Immediately, send someone to urge you.
When the envoy saw Ning Zhuo, he was originally very arrogant, but was scolded by Ning Houjun: "I am already old, why should I walk slower?"
"Go and bring a message to the clan leader. If he is in such a hurry, is it because he has urgent urination or is he urinating loosely and is he in a hurry to poop?"
The messenger stopped and ran back. Naturally, he did not dare to report the exact words. He only said that Ning Hou's army was here.
The clan leader took a deep breath and endured it.
The elder of the Zhantang family laughed: "After all these years, Mr. Ning Houjun still has such a bad temper."
"I don't know how his son has been doing since he was expelled from the family?"
"Have you had any correspondence with Mr. Ning Houjun in recent years?"
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky and it was close to noon that Ning Zhuo and his party arrived at the clan ancestral hall.
The size of the team has exceeded a hundred people.
However, there were more people in the temple.
Most of the people around Ning Zhuo could only stand outside the ancestral hall wall and listen.
Even so, it's not a good location.
The entire clan ancestral hall was surrounded by clan members, with three floors inside and three floors outside.
Ning Zhuo, Ning Houjun, and Wang Lan were introduced into the ancestral hall.
All the Ning family's senior officials who could come were here.
Ning Zhuo saw Ning Zui, saw Ning Ji, saw the head of the Ning family, and of course Ning Xiaoren.
Ning Xiaoren's face was livid, and he stared at Ning Zhuo. His neck was stretched out and raised, with a ferocious attitude like a vulture about to fight to the death.
As soon as Ning Zhuo handed over his hand and wanted to speak, Wang Lan burst into tears: "Master, you have finally been rescued! Then Ning Xiaoren didn't attack you again, right?"
Ning Zui walked out of the crowd, hugged Wang Lan, and said solemnly: "It was Mr. Fu who saved me personally! He saved me from Ning Xiaoren's clutches!"
Along the way, Ning Zui already knew the whole story.
Although Ning Xiaoren continued to coerce and induce him, Ning Zui had already made up his mind!
joke.
"Does it really feel good every time I get hit on the head?!"
"Do you really think I have no temper?!"
Ning Zhuo's wife, Wang Lan, has already stepped onto the stage, and the people of the Ning family branch are excited. The trend has been achieved, and the truth is this. Ning Xiaoren really did not give Ning Zhuo any training resources, and he really framed Ning Zuo.
The humiliation Ning Zui suffered all along and the accumulated resentment and resentment made him choose Ning Zhuo's side without hesitation.
Hearing Ning Zui's words, Ning Xiaoren's heart sank to the bottom of his heart, and his whole body became ice-cold.
His only turning point lies with Ning Zui.
At this moment, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, they drift away.
The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, and Ning Xiaoren has no room for refutation.
In the beginning, his frame-up of Ning Zui was a temporary idea, but Ning Zhuo suddenly emerged. There were too many flaws in the whole incident. If Ning Zui cooperated, it would be easy to say, and there would be countless evidences if he turned against him.
It is very easy for other tribesmen to verify.
All kinds of irrefutable evidence!
"Ning Xiaoren!" the head of the Ning family shouted angrily, broke the rope of the belt, and threw the belt directly at Ning Xiaoren.
Ning Xiaoren was hit in the head and began to bleed immediately.
He knew that the defeat was certain and there was no hope of escape, so he showed enough strength at the last moment.
He allowed his head to bleed, and said to his father: "Master Patriarch, I did something wrong, and I have no shame in punishing everyone in the family. I accept all punishments!"
And this is also Ning Xiaoren's last performance.
The head of the Ning family immediately announced that Ning Xiaoren would be revoked as the young patriarch and imprisoned in a dungeon for three years. After three years, he was expelled from the family and exiled. During his life, he was only allowed to return to the family to worship his ancestors.
"The patriarch is wise and destroys relatives for justice!"
As soon as the verdict came out, countless tribesmen inside and outside the ancestral hall cheered in unison, and the sound shook the whole country.
The elders of the main family looked at Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo won so beautifully that he knocked down the young clan leader Ning Xiaoren with one kick. After today, he will definitely become famous in the whole clan and his reputation will skyrocket.
Even if he only has "three levels of Qi refining cultivation", with such habits and actions, who dares to look down upon him?
That night.
A small banquet was held at Ning Ze's house.
Ning Zhuo, Ning Responsible for entertaining Ning Youfu, Ning Houjun, two former family elders, and several family deacons such as Ning Xiangguo.
Ning Zhuo frequently toasted to express his gratitude, behaved humbly and politely, and sincerely asked for advice.
Ning Youfu pointed out: "As soon as this incident comes out, Ning Zhuo, you will be in conflict with the main lineage. Especially the clan leader, don't have any extravagant hopes to ease the relationship."
Ning Houjun sighed: "It's a pity that the clan leader lost his arm today and abandoned his chariot to protect the commander. He didn't drag him down with him. He only captured a young clan leader, so his victory was limited."
Ning Xiangguo Ze said: "Even so, this is the only victory for our clan in more than ten years. A branch of the clan has convicted the young clan leader of the main clan. How exciting this is!"
Ning Zhuo looked at the people at the table, but he was guessing in his heart: Who among them is the traitor of the Ning family who secretly defected to Feisi?
Ning Zhuo took the initiative to ask, how would the main line deal with him?
Ning Youfu smiled: "Ning Zhuo, you are now joining the repair team, and you are very capable of exploring the Immortal Palace. In addition, you are in the limelight, so the main line will not touch you, lest you suffer unfair treatment and cause trouble with the clan again.
Go to the ancestral hall."
He looked at Ning Xiangguo and said to him: "The main line's counterattack will come soon, and you will be the ones who suffer."
Ning Xiangguo smiled slightly: "I'm mentally prepared. It doesn't matter! Even if they are dismissed, what's the problem? The main line doesn't dare to remove too many people. After all, they have too few people, haha."
Ning Houjun sighed: "To this day, none of the elders in the clan is held by our branch. This is so passive that there is no basic base at all. Although there are many deacons, they can only be slaughtered."
"Fortunately, Ning Zhuo, you are talented and will develop steadily in the future. You will definitely be a family leader."
"Our branch has not had any talent for a long time. To tell you the truth, I have been waiting for someone who can handle the situation for more than ten years."
"Although your cultivation is weak now, it is very good. You have spirit and skill."
"The key point is that you have talent and are worth investing in."
"Don't worry, as long as I am still alive, I will support you with all my strength!"
"You are now the flag of our branch, you can't fall."
Ning Zhuo laughed: "When things have reached this point, on the one hand, it is indeed the main force forcing me, but on the other hand, it is not because I personally want to make progress."
"I have the talent. I am particularly good at exploring the Immortal Palace. I also have everyone's support, so why worry about not succeeding?"
Everyone laughed.
Amid laughter, everyone raised their glasses and clinked their glasses.
Ning Zui swallowed the wine in the glass in one gulp. When he put the glass down, he looked at Ning Zhuo with extremely complicated eyes.
"Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo, it turns out this is the real you."
"I made a mistake. I made a mistake."
"Such a skill, temperament and capacity..."
Ning Zui felt that for the first time in his life, he truly understood Ning Zhuo.
Chapter completed!
