Rebirth of the strongest catcher

Chapter 276

"Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world."

Xing Wentian calmly said: "If your elder brother had been a little bit more aggressive in the past, he wouldn't be sent to the frontier by me now."

Having said that, his eyes darkened, and he asked Xing Shan, "Ashan, do you think my decision was too cruel?"

"will not."

Xing Shan shook his head resolutely, "Since there are always people in this world who want to be stationed at the frontier, what difference does it make if it's the eldest brother or someone else? Father, as the prefect of Shuntian, you are used to impartiality. I believe you made this decision back then. The decision is more painful than anyone else's."

Hearing his comfort, Xing Wentian smiled wryly, left the scene without saying anything.

In the next few days, both Zu Long and Feng Zhi were actively preparing for the upcoming duel, and the shops of the Zu family were freed up, and there were no more gangsters going there. make trouble.

Taking this opportunity, Zulong told his family that he was about to duel with others, and invited them to watch that day.

Although Zulong never told them that the duel was related to the Gui family, his family members were still worried about it.

After all, he is already old, not a young man of eighteen or twenty. How can such an old man stand up to fighting with others?
Zu Yiming was the first one to object. Zulong was the one who loved him the most since he was a child. How could he bear to watch his grandfather have an accident?
"Grandpa, what kind of grudge do you have with that man? Can it be resolved by a life-and-death duel? If he offends you, with the power of our ancestral family, we can directly ask the court for help and let the government send troops to capture him. Why do you need to How about doing it yourself?”

Zu Yiming's upright words made Zu Long squint his eyes. He didn't realize that his grandson's vision was so short-sighted. Apart from the glory of his ancestors, he was actually nothing.

But soon, he lowered his eyes again, didn't he notice it?

In fact, he had discovered it long ago. It was only out of love for Zu Yiming that he turned a blind eye to his ignorance all these years. As a result, he caused a catastrophe, made the ancestor's family restless, and he could not enjoy his old age peacefully.

In the final analysis, everything was his own fault, so what right did he have to blame Zu Yiming?

Seeing that the expression on Zu Long's face changed again and again, Zu Yiming tilted his head in doubt, "What's the matter, Grandpa, am I wrong?"

Zulong glanced at him, and said coldly, "Do you think our ancestors are still as beautiful as when the late emperor was alive? In terms of status and power, they are no longer ranked in the capital. Last time you crippled Zhuo Hang's leg This incident has already exhausted the old man's face, so he can barely keep you. Now that you still want to ask the court for help, who do you think will take care of you?"

"This……"

Zu Yiming shrank his neck, with a guilty expression on his face. He also knew that offending the Ministry of War was the stupidest thing he had ever done in his life, but there is no medicine for regret in the world. The only thing he can do is to try not to cause trouble in the future, Let the family worry.

Seeing his guilty look, Zu Long snorted coldly, and continued: "What's more, this matter is my personal grievance with that person. If you persuade me not to duel with him, don't you want me to be a coward?"

"No, Grandpa."

Zu Yiming quickly defended, "I just don't want anything to happen to you."

"I haven't fought that person yet, but you've already decided that I will lose. Are you looking down on me, or overestimating Feng Zhi's ability?"

Seeing that Zu Long insisted on going his own way, Zu Yiming had no choice but to say, "Grandpa, if you want to think this way, I can't help it. It's just that this is a life-and-death duel, not an ordinary fight. I still hope you can think clearly and don't take your own money." Use your life to be strong."

"You don't have to say any more."

Zu Long raised his hand, and said coldly: "Even if I really die in the hands of Feng Zhi, I am willing to do so, and I am no different from others. Remember, no matter what the final result is, I will live or die. , you are not allowed to take revenge on Feng Zhi, let alone go to court officials to make decisions for you."

Hearing this, Zu Yiming knew that Zulong's mind had been decided, his eyes sank and sank, and finally he left Zulong's room silently without saying anything.

As soon as he left Zulong's room, he immediately rushed to Xing's house, wanting to ask Xing Shan for clarification.

"My surname Xing, what is going on with this whole thing? Why did my grandfather fight that Feng Zhi? Moreover, this matter is still presided over by your Shuntian Mansion and supervised by your father himself. What is going on? "

Seeing Zu Yiming's eager look, Xing Shan put his hands behind his back, with a helpless expression on his face, "Master Zu, you should stop asking about this matter, this is a personal grievance between your grandfather and Feng Zhi, even if you ask me, I will I can’t even tell why.”

"It's impossible for you not to know!"

Zu Yiming became anxious, "If you don't know anything, you will tell me directly instead of asking me to stop asking."

Seeing that he suddenly became so smart, Xing Shan didn't know what to say for a while.

He was silent for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh, and said bluntly: "Even if you know what the grievances between them are, you can't change their determination to fight to the death. If I were you, I would Before this big war comes, be filial to your grandfather, so as not to cause trouble and leave regrets in the end."

Zu Yiming narrowed his eyes, "Do you think my grandpa will lose?"

"Everything is possible. I'm not your grandfather. I don't know how much he is capable of. But the only thing I know is that this is a decision he made himself after living most of his life. Even if you don't like him anymore, you should respect him , understand him, rather than hinder him, hinder him."

Hearing this, Zu Yiming's face darkened, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it for a long time.

For a long time, Zulong's status in the ancestral family has always been the same. It is difficult for him to change ordinary trivial matters, let alone such a big matter as a life and death showdown?
Perhaps, what Xing Shan said was right, he should take this time to be filial to his grandfather, instead of regretting it after the decisive battle.

Thinking of this, Zu Yiming flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "I will be filial to my grandfather, but you'd better pray that my grandfather is safe in this duel, otherwise, I will definitely come to trouble you every day until Until the truth is found out!"

With that said, Zu Yiming left Xing's house angrily.

Looking at his arrogant back, Xing Shan shook his head helplessly. How could he have the heart to tell Zu Yiming that the reason for this duel was actually Zu Long's own fault.

Not to mention that he is not dead yet, even if he did die in Feng Zhi's hands, it would be difficult for Xing Shan to have any sympathy for him.
