Battle Emperor

Chapter 18

"It is true that something has been passed down from our ancestors. Did the Patriarch of the Gu Clan come here for that piece of jade?" Xiao Zhan already knew about Gu Yuan's real purpose, but he still pretended not to know, and asked Gu Yuan back.

Gu Yuan was not at all surprised that Xiao Zhan would ask such a rhetorical question, because if he were the patriarch of the Xiao clan, he would think that he came here this time to take away the Tuoshe ancient emperor jade from the lonely Xiao clan.

In fact, if he hadn't stopped him, some old guys in the clan might have come to rob him by force, and they wouldn't have reluctantly agreed to this roundabout strategy of letting Xun'er go undercover in Xiao's house to secretly search for Gu Yu's whereabouts .

Looking at Xiao Zhan, Gu Yuan shook his head lightly and said: "That piece of jade belongs to your Xiao clan after all, and my Gu clan has no intention of meddling with it."

"Then I don't know why Patriarch Gu Yuan came here?" Xiao Zhan pretended to be puzzled, and asked Gu Yuan again.

Gu Yuan didn't respond to Xiao Zhan immediately, but looked softly at the little girl beside him, and called softly, "Xun'er, come here."

The little girl named Xun'er walked slowly to her father with her tiny feet.

Gu Yuan stroked the little girl's hair and said, "Her name is Xun'er, and she is my daughter. I plan to let her stay in the Xiao Clan for a while."

Xiao Zhan heard the meaning of Gu Yuan's words, took a deep look at the little girl Xun'er, and asked Gu Yuan: "Please forgive Xiao, the head of the Gu Yuan clan, the ancient clan is the ancient imperial clan, strong It's like a cloud, the little girl Xun'er is the daughter of the Patriarch Gu Yuan, with a noble status... Wouldn't it be safer to let her grow up by your side, why did she send her to my Xiao family..."

A complex look flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, and he said to Xiao Zhan: "When the family grows, it is inevitable that there will be some filth. The Gu family is not as beautiful and peaceful as you imagined. Compared with letting her grow up by my side, we are more I hope she can have a happy childhood."

"As for her safety, Patriarch Xiao can rest assured that nothing will happen."

So Xiao Zhan didn't say any more.

As for Gu Yuan's purpose of coming here this time, to foster Gu Xun'er in the Xiao family, he already knew it.

But he didn't agree with Gu Yuan's words in order to let Xun'er have a happy childhood.

Perhaps compared to the huge ancient clan, the Xiao family has fewer intrigues and nasty things. Living in such an environment is indeed peaceful enough. However, how can we talk about happiness in childhood without parents by our side?

After the thought flashed away, Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice to Gu Yuan: "Since patriarch Gu Yuan said so, then she should stay in my Xiao family. Don't worry, my strength, Xiao Zhan, may be superior to patriarch Gu Yuan's." It's not worth mentioning, but I will definitely swear to the death to protect the safety of Miss Xun'er."

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "You don't need patriarch Xiao to be like that, just treat her as an ordinary little girl from the Xiao family."

Saying that, a Na Ring appeared in Gu Yuan's hand.

Gu Yuan tossed the ring lightly, and the ring immediately flew towards Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan caught Na Jie and looked at Gu Yuan puzzled.

Gu Yuan explained: "What's in it should be the reward for entrusting Xun'er to the Xiao family. I've already erased the soul imprint on this ring."

"If that's the case, then Xiao will not be too polite!" Hearing what Gu Yuan said, Xiao Zhan did not refuse, and happily accepted the ring.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh a little.

This patriarch of the Xiao Clan is somewhat similar to his friend Xiao Xuan from the past, a little free and unrestrained, eclectic.

Should it be said that it is the queen of friends?

After the matter of fostering Xun'er in Xiao's family was settled properly, Gu Yuan's purpose this time was basically completed, and he was about to say a few more words to his daughter and tell her a few words.

After all, after this farewell, it may be several years before we meet again.

Even though he has lived for a thousand years, a few years is like a snap of his fingers, but Xun'er is his daughter after all, so there is still some difference.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan spoke suddenly, which caught Gu Yuan's attention.

"Patriarch Gu Yuan, can we make a deal?"

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan was surprised, and couldn't help looking at Xiao Zhan curiously.

Xiao Zhan didn't speak.

Instead, he took out a quaint box from the ring he was wearing in his hand, opened the box, and inside the box was a small piece of emerald green jade. On the jade piece, there were many strange patterns. On its edge, there are traces of cutting, indicating that this piece of jade is a part cut from a whole.

At the beginning of Gu Yuanchu, he was still curious about what kind of deal Xiao Zhan wanted to make with him. After being away for many years, he suddenly saw this piece of ancient jade belonging to the Xiao family again, his eyes could not help but be slightly condensed, and there was a tantalizing aura that swept over his body. out.

Xiao Zhan only felt a mountain suddenly pressing down on his body, and on the soul level, he was captured by an extremely terrifying force, making his soul tremble instinctively.

The difference is really too big!

Even though Xiao Zhan has half a foot into the Dou Wang, Gu Yuan is a peak Dou Sheng!

The next moment, Gu Yuan took the initiative to restrain the coercion he released.

The smile on his face was gone, and he turned serious and indifferent, "This is the deal you plan to make with me? Do you know the value of this thing?"

For some reason, Gu Yuan suddenly became angry.

There are quite a few elders among the Ming and Ming ancient clans who wanted to seize this piece of jade from the Xiao family, and even let Xun'er be fostered in the Xiao family this time, for the purpose of asking Xun'er to find the trace of this jade. When Zhan took out this piece of jade in front of him and wanted to use it to make a deal with himself, what Gu Yuan immediately felt was not joy, but anger.

I feel unworthy for that friend who was besieged and killed by the soul clan and passed away!

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath. He had already felt the strength of Gu Yuan, but this was not the reason for him to shut up. He raised his head, looked straight at Gu Yuan and said, "Jade is Tuoshe Gudi Jade, It is what was left behind by the last Emperor Dou She in the world, and it contains the secret about Emperor Dou, and I naturally know his value."

"But I wonder if Patriarch Gu Yuan has ever heard a word?"

"Oh? What are you talking about?" The trace of anger in Gu Yuan's heart disappeared, and he was suddenly ready to hear what the contemporary Patriarch of the Xiao Clan wanted to say.

Xiao Zhan's voice was sonorous and forceful: "Everyone is innocent, but pregnant Bi is the crime!"

"This piece of jade is naturally a treasure for the powerful imperial family, but it is the source of disaster for the Xiao family who are unable to protect that piece of jade."

"Besides, even if it really contains the secret of Emperor Dou, Patriarch Gu Yuan really thinks that secret is useful to the current Xiao family?"

Gu Yuan suddenly stopped talking.

In the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, who is currently the strongest, is no more than Dou Ling.

For a family that doesn't even have a Dou Sheng, even if they know the secret of Dou Di, what's the use?On the contrary, if they really know the secret of Emperor Dou, the weak Xiao family will only attract the prying eyes of countless powerful people and bring about disasters without reason.

"An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying jade! The Xiao family is that ordinary man..." Gu Yuan whispered to himself in his heart, neither agreeing to Xiao Zhan's deal nor refusing, and asked Xiao Zhan again, "Are you going to What are you trading with me?"

Xiao Zhan said: "I want to exchange this jade for a chance to enter the Heavenly Tomb. I have some questions, and I want to ask Patriarch Xiao Xuan face to face!"
