"Shangguan Li, do you still want to be the head of the family?"
Shangguan Fei shook his head, "If you don't want to do it, I will replace you!"
"Great Elder, listen to me..."
"Crack!"
Shangguan Fei didn't give him any face at all, and slapped him in the face.
"You still have the nerve to quibble?"
Shangguan Fei said aggressively: "Shang Guan Hong is my confidant, and Shangguan Yuan Bin is my nephew. Now the whereabouts of the two of them are unknown, and their lives and deaths are unknown. As the head of the family, how can you have the nerve to quibble if you don't avenge them?"
What’s the use of you!”
It can be said that his words did not leave Shangguanli any face.
And Shangguanli had nothing to say.
Because in terms of prestige, he is really far behind the Great Elder.
But after all, he is also the head of the Shangguan family. It is really too much to be reprimanded like this in front of everyone.
"Great Elder, please calm down."
Shangguan Li lowered his head, "It's not that I'm timid and afraid of getting into trouble. It's really hard to say. Shangguan Yuanbin is young and energetic, so he took the initiative to ask for a job. If I don't agree, I'm afraid it will dissipate his enthusiasm."
"And what he said is not unreasonable. If we can really unite the eight aristocratic families, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with just Binhai. What's more, he is your nephew. I don't look at the monk's face, but also the Buddha's face."
Although he didn't say it clearly, his meaning was already obvious.
Sima Yuanbin is your nephew. Although I am the head of the family, I have to give him some respect.
"Well said!"
Shangguan Fei smiled angrily, "So it turns out that all of this is my fault. Is it because I shouldn't interfere in family affairs?"
"I don't dare!"
Shangguan Li quickly cupped his hands and said: "The reason why our Shangguan family has today's prestige is all thanks to the great elder. Since I took up the position of the head of the family, I have been walking on thin ice every day, and I just don't want to let my ancestors suffer. I think
I have never done anything to disgrace my family, so please be careful, First Elder."
His words can be said to be neither humble nor arrogant.
But there is some truth in what he said.
It was indeed Shangguan Yuanbin who proposed the siege of Binhai.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the reason why Shangguan Yuanbin acted so boldly was because Shangguan Fei supported him.
Otherwise, as a pretty boy, what qualifications does he have to participate in family affairs?
"According to what you said, did I blame you wrongly?"
Shangguan Fei stared at Shangguan Li, with a half-smile on his face, "You are right, all the faults are mine, right? In this case, you should not get involved in this matter, I will personally go and avenge my nephew
!”
"I would like to see with my own eyes what's so great about that coastal forbidden area that it actually made the head of the Sima family, my majestic family, put it in a trap!"
After saying that, he walked away.
The lobby was eerily quiet, and no one dared to speak.
They never expected that the Great Elder would suddenly appear, nor did they expect that the family head would have the courage to confront the Great Elder.
Anyone with a discerning eye has noticed that these are troubled times, so it is better not to rush to take sides.
"Master, don't be too angry. You should know the Great Elder."
One person said softly.
"I'm not angry, I'm just tired."
Shangguan Li sighed and said: "Fortunately, I didn't let him be the head of the family, otherwise the Shangguan family would have been destroyed in his hands. Since he wants revenge, let him go on his own. None of you can help.
Don’t ask for trouble.”
"yes."
Everyone agreed in unison.
Everyone knows Shangguan Fei's character. He has always been a protective person. He doesn't know what it means to put the overall situation first.
Shangguan Yuanbin is a good example.
Regardless of his prestige or ability, this person was not worthy of mention, but Shangguan Fei ignored him and sent him to the core of the family.
This matter has long been rumored to be a laughing stock among everyone in private.
"Master, where is the Li family?"
one person asked.
"Don't worry about the Li family."
Shangguan Li said: "I know Li Yuan's character very well. This person is suspicious by nature. Even his closest relatives cannot trust him. How could he cooperate with Ye Jiuzhou for no reason? There must be something fishy about this matter!"
Being able to become the head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Li is certainly no fool.
Although he never leaves home, nothing in the world can escape his observation, especially what happens to other families, he is particularly concerned about it.
Such as ancient locust tree.
This man seems to be uncontested, but he is actually a very scheming guy. He has been coveting the position of head of the family for a long time, but he has never had the chance.
In recent years, Gu Huai has always been in contact with the official family, and he may not have any good intentions.
In addition, Guhuai also spread the news about Binhai's boxing records. As soon as they contacted each other, the mastermind behind the scenes was already revealed.
The conflict between Binhai and the Li family must have been instigated by Gu Huai, whose purpose was to cause chaos in Qipan Mountain so that he could reap the benefits.
It is undeniable that this trick is indeed clever, but it may not satisfy everyone.
As for the great elder, Shangguanli couldn't take care of it.
Because this person has always acted vigorously and resolutely, and does not care about other people's opinions at all. Even if he knew it was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, he would definitely break into it.
It wouldn't matter if it was somewhere else, but the place he wanted to go was Binhai!
The place where all the masters from the eight great families were wiped out!
Although Shangguan Fei also has his own unique points, he may not be able to get any benefits. He will probably lose his wife and lose his troops.
Shangguanli has an intuition.
The world is going to be in chaos again!
No matter who benefits from this chaos, it will change the future pattern.
Of course, he would not be idle. Taking advantage of the great elder's departure, he would immediately place his confidants in the core positions of the family and eliminate the great elder's influence step by step.
In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time.
As the head of the Shangguan family, he didn't like the feeling of having his power emptied out.
Shangguan Yuanbin has been planning all this since he entered the parliament hall, and now he can finally start taking action.
…
The other side.
The people of the seven aristocratic families seem to have become accustomed to the coastal life, and everyone is a little happy and reluctant to live in Shu.
Especially Elder Shangguan.
Whenever he has time, he will go to the exhibition hall to observe boxing records. Every time he meets the disciples in the boxing gym, everyone will greet him with a very respectful attitude.
No one regarded him as a prisoner at all.
When she is in a good mood, she will occasionally give some tips.
On this day, as soon as he left the exhibition hall, he met Tan Ming, who was teaching boxing there.
What is taught is exactly the moves recorded in the boxing manual.
Although Tan Ming is not best at boxing, martial arts all over the world have different paths and lead to the same goal, and Tan Ming explains it clearly and logically.
"What on earth are you doing this for?"
Elder Shangguan finally couldn't help but asked the doubts in his heart, "I think you still don't know. The reason why the boxing manual is important is not the moves on it, but the secret behind it."
