Nangong Aotian's guess was absolutely correct. At this time, Avril was practicing with Dongfang Phoenix and the others in the training room.
Of course, Nangong Aotian would not ask Avril to come out at this time. He was chatting with Li Youran and the others in the hall of the secret room outside the training room. After waiting outside the training room for about ten minutes, Avril, Dongfang Phoenix and Yu Lingshuang came together.
Walked out.
"You have finished practicing." Nangong Aotian saw a few people coming out and stood up from the chair on the side and said.
"Brother Tian, do you have anything to do with us?" Dongfang Phoenix said first, looking at Nangong Aotian waiting for them here.
"I'm looking for Wei'er. Someone is coming to her family." Nangong Aotian said.
"Is there someone in my family?" Avril's face suddenly showed a very happy look when she heard this, "Who is it?"
"A man named Gongsun You." Nangong Aotian said.
"Uncle Gongsun, how come he has time to come see me? Is there something going on at home?" Avril said and walked quickly outside, "I'll go take a look."
"Let's go together," Yu Lingshuang said as she followed Avril out. Nangong Aotian naturally followed.
"Old man Li, could something happen to the mercenary family?" Zhao Nanshan said to Li Youran when he saw Nangong Aotian and others going out.
"I don't know, maybe." Li Youran thought for a while and said, "Anyway, the past two years will not be peaceful."
Nangong Aotian and Avril walked into the living room together, and Avril saw Gongsun You at a glance.
"Uncle Gongsun, why are you here? Are my grandfather and father okay?" Avril asked quickly when she saw Gongsun You.
"Duke Nangong, can you please use a quiet place in your mansion to talk? I want to talk to Miss Wei'er alone." Gongsun You looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"No problem." Nangong Aotian agreed readily.
"Uncle Gongsun, is there something wrong at home?" Avril looked at Gongsun You and asked quickly.
"Let's find a place to talk in detail." Gongsun You said looking at Avril.
"Oh." Avril had no choice but to respond and led Gongsun to Nangong Aotian's study.
"Miss, you must go back as soon as possible." As soon as he walked into the study and sat down, Gongsun You looked at Avril and said.
"Why?" Avril looked at Gongsun You in confusion and asked.
"Your grandpa is ill. Very seriously ill." Gongsun You sighed and said.
"Isn't there a very high-level spiritual doctor in the family?" Avril asked anxiously, "They can't cure grandpa's disease? What disease does grandpa have?"
"We don't know either. The spiritual doctor said that you were poisoned by a chronic poison." Gongsun You sighed and said, "This poison is an acute and chronic poison. According to the spiritual doctor in the family, this poison is in you
Grandpa has been hiding in his body for at least three years."
"How could this happen?" Avril stood up from her chair. "Then why didn't you see it before?"
"The family's spiritual doctor can't find out the reason for this. He just said that this poison was planted three years ago." Gongsun You sighed and said.
"How is grandpa now?" Avril looked at Gongsun You anxiously and asked.
"Two months ago, your grandfather's poison suddenly broke out. The meridians seemed to have become very fragile, and it was difficult for Dou Qi to move. The original strength of the peak martial master has now dropped to the intermediate level of martial arts, and the body is very weak. According to
According to the spiritual doctor, there are still less than two months left." Gongsun You sighed and said.
"How could this happen?" Avril's face suddenly turned pale.
"There are more serious things." Gongsun You sighed and said, "The three major priests in the family were also poisoned. Fortunately, their fighting spirit was very strong and they suppressed the poison for the time being, but their strength has also declined at this time.
He has reached the peak of Wu Zun’s state.”
"How is this possible!!!" Avril was shocked and speechless. "They are all warriors at the Martial Saint level. How could such a thing happen?"
"Hey, this incident has caused a great shock in the family." Gongsun You sighed and said, "This incident happened to be the poisoning incident that happened when your father took over as the patriarch of the family, so the elders in the family are discussing it at this time.
To remove your father from the position of patriarch of the family."
"Why did so many things suddenly happen?" Avril looked at Gongsun You in disbelief and said, "This must be a conspiracy."
"I also suspect that there must be someone behind the scenes, but we don't have any clues to find the murderer. Only the patriarch takes the blame. After all, the poisoning incident in the family happened to be around the time your father took over as the head of the family.
Gongsun You said with a sigh.
"Has my father been poisoned?" Avril asked quickly.
"That's not true." Gongsun You shook his head and said, "According to the spiritual doctor, this kind of poison is extremely rare, and not many can be found in the entire continent. Moreover, this kind of poison is colorless and odorless. Once poisoned, no matter how powerful the fighting spirit is, it will
We cannot resist the erosion of poisonous gas. Now there are five people in our mercenary family who have been poisoned, and they happen to be the five strongest people in the family."
"Besides my grandfather and the three major priests, who else was poisoned?" Avril asked quickly.
"And the ancestors of my mercenary family." Gongsun You sighed and said.
"What..." Avril was so shocked that she almost fainted. "Didn't my ancestor reach the realm of Emperor Wu? How could he be poisoned too?"
"Yes, this is really unimaginable." Gongsun You sighed and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't come back to you."
"Uncle Gongsun, I'll go back with you right now." Avril said and walked out. "I'll go out and tell them and we'll be on our way."
"Before your father asked me to come, let me tell you that you'd better take that boy Nangong Aotian with you when you go back this time." Gongsun You looked at Avril and said.
"Why?" Avril looked at Gongsun You in confusion and asked.
"Because if you don't go back with him this time, the family will prepare a marriage for you." Gongsun You sighed and said.
"Who asked them to prepare for my marriage?" Avril said very dissatisfied.
"Due to this incident, the strength of the family has been severely affected. Now the mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire has sent people to propose marriage to our family. If we agree to marry the two families, our mercenary family can survive
This is the most difficult period." Gongsun You said, "So the elders in the family have already approved this proposal. The person proposed by the Silver Eagle Empire for marriage is Murong Yi, the grandson of their contemporary family head."
"The mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire?" Avril frowned and said, "They have a good idea."
"With the strength of the Lane Empire, our mercenary alliance has ceased to exist in name only in the past two years. The mercenary families of the Silver Moon Empire are now less than one-third of their former strength. The mercenary families of the Lane Empire merged with the O'Brien Empire
The mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire is now the strongest. The mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire used to be the strongest mercenary family on the road, but now it is no longer comparable to the mercenary family of the Lane Empire. And this time we
After receiving such a big blow, our mercenary family has become the weakest except for the mercenary family of the Silver Moon Empire." Gongsun You sighed and said, "Without the help of others, once we are attacked, we will be the weakest.
It would be very dangerous. That’s why the Presbyterian Council approved the marriage proposal.”
"Hmph! My brother Tian's current power may not be lost to the mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire." Avril thought for a while and said.
"That's why your father hopes that you will take Duke Nangong back with you this time, so as to dispel the idea of the elders. Anyway, the Duke is now also the commander of a legion and the Duke of the empire, so he has some strength to bear the wind and rain.
"Gongsun You sighed and said, "Otherwise, your father would not have said that. You must know that your father is already under a lot of pressure."
