C438 Rombo's Calculus

Suburb of Dongpu

In front of the gate of an antique Jiangnan Courtyard

A speeding car skidded to a stop in front of the door

Then someone got out of the car, opened the door, and hurriedly rushed into the courtyard …

After passing through the entrance hall, that person arrived at the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a manmade pond. Half of it was lotus, while the other half was carp pond.

Because it was winter, the lotus flower in the Lotus Pond had already dried up, leaving only the leaves still standing in the water, appearing extremely desolate.

On the other side, the pond was full of life. Over a hundred carps were swimming back and forth in the pond.

Near the pool, an elder sat at the table. He had a serene expression on his face as he boiled tea and burned incense.

On his other side was a young man, around twenty years old.

Unlike the old man's calm demeanor from beginning to end, the latter seemed to be waiting for something. At this moment, his expression was rather anxious.

He couldn't help but glance in the direction of the door.

Finally, when there was a sound at the door, he jerked his head back.

"How is it?"

Before the person entered the courtyard, the young man impatiently asked.

"Reporting to young master, all of our plans have failed!" Ning Family's expert was extremely powerful, and the assassins that we sent were no weaker than the ones we killed. Eight carriages were all cut in half on the bridge, without a single survivor! "

"What!?"

The young man's eyes abruptly stared wide open with a face full of disbelief.

"Not a single survivor?"

"Yes sir!"

"Eldest Young Master, not only our people on the bridge, even those that Young Master Long had personally arranged had failed. That person from Ning Family seemed to have noticed something was wrong long ago, and all of his schemes have been seen through by him."

"How could that be? Our operation this time was carried out in a very secret way. We never told anyone, so how could Ning Lo know?"

"This... Your subordinate does not know. "

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know one thing and I don't know three. What do I need trash like you for? Scram."

With a furious roar, the young man waved his hand to allow his men to leave.

"This subordinate will take his leave!"

… ….

"Second Uncle, you're right. This test is meaningless. I'm just asking to be humiliated."

After his men left, the young man turned back to the old man and sat down.

The previously anxious expression on his face eased up by quite a bit.

After confirming his failure, he calmed down.

"No matter what, the Ning Family is still one of the five great families of the Dragon Country. Although they have always pursued a policy of not expanding, they are still the five great families after all. Their hidden strength is unfathomable, how could they easily probe it out?"

"A Ning Family like Second Young Master doesn't seem to be taken seriously, and is also suppressed within the Ning Family, but don't forget one thing. His surname is Ning, and as long as his surname is Ning, the Ning Family would not let him go so easily. "

"The Old Master of Ning Family can let this fight between the young people within the clan go, but he will definitely not give up on the idea of nurturing him in private. Many years ago, this Second Young Master was forced into a perilous situation. Although it seems like the Old Master was ruthless, it's not the case. "

"That Old Master is smart. For a child born of an unnamed woman, even if he had the purest blood of Ning Family, it would still be excluded by the vast majority of people. It would do him no good to stay with the family. To be sent to the army would seem like a long journey, but to put one's life on the line and come back alive is to become a dragon amongst men. "

"Actually, if it wasn't for that incident three years ago, I'm afraid this Ning Family Second Young Master would already be at the top of the military's younger generation. "Now that you've been hibernating for three years and have reappeared, you must be fully prepared. How could your small act threaten him?"

"Taking a step back, even if this Ning Family Second Young Master is still a piece of trash, the Ning Family will not sit idly by and watch him get killed. As long as his surname is Ning and his Ning Family do not fall, there will not be many people in this world who would be able to kill him. "

"Even though the Loong Family that Second Young Master asked you to help him at this time looked like a test of your sincerity, it was actually to use you as a spear."

"Of course, you can also understand that this is a test of your loyalty! If you want to board this ship called Loong Family, you have to create some dark pots and some dark methods for that person. "

"Second Uncle's words are extremely true. In fact, I already understood Long Zhaofeng's intention when he asked me to do this." It's just that my Loong Family is powerful, and my Zhao Family has always been cooperating with Loong Family all these years. If I don't listen to him, I will definitely attract the suspicion of this Second Young Master, so I had no choice but to do so. "

"Really? Ming Cheng, do you know why your father is willing to hand over the position of Patriarch to your second brother? "

Raising his eyes slightly, the elder looked at his nephew with a torch-like gaze.

"Nephew doesn't know, please enlighten me, Second Uncle."

"Your younger brother knows his inadequacies and is willing to admit his inadequacies in front of your father. He will similarly guarantee your father's inadequacies. That's why he was loved by your father since he was a child. "As for you, you are very willing to do one thing, to be stubborn!"

"A stubborn mouth?"

Zhao Mingcheng stared blankly for a moment before softly uttering these words.

"That's right!" A stubborn mouth! Let me ask you, Loong Family and what kind of status does this Second Young Master have in the clan? "

"He's not as good as boss Loong Family, but his status is not low either."

"That was in the past. Did you forget about Second Young Master's mother half a year ago?"

"His mother?"

"Yes sir!"

"Half a year ago, this second concubine of Loong Family had been found out by the driver and had been completely destroyed by the Patriarch of Loong Family. Even her parents were implicated."

"The one who was also affected was Loong Family Second Young Master that you wanted to follow."

"Impossible!" Our Zhao Family has eyes and ears, if something so big were to happen, there is no way I wouldn't know. "

Zhao Mingcheng's expression changed greatly as he hurriedly asked.

"Do you think that anyone outside the Loong Family will know of this matter, which would damage their reputation and the prestige of the Loong Family's Patriarch?"

"Then how did you know about it, Second Uncle?"

"You don't need to know where I learned this from. You only need to know that this is true."

"This Loong Family Second Young Master is really anxious this time. In the past, he did not even pay attention to our Zhao Family and did not even look at it. Why is he so attentive this time?"

To put it bluntly, he has already lost more than half of his support in Yanjing. If he can't rope in some forces that support him within a short period of time to show off to that father of his that I still have some use for, if not, with the tradition of Loong Family, he probably won't live for more than a few days. "

"So that's why he's so anxious to win over my Zhao Family?"2

"That's right!"

Nodding, "This Loong Family guy is very smart. He knew that Zhao Family could not let him gain a foothold in the Loong Family, so he chose Ning Family as the name of this Second Young Master. "

"The relationship between the Ning Family and the Ning Family is the deadliest among the five great families. If you enrage Second Young Master, the Ning Family will cause the two great families to fight each other, and only then will Loong Family this Second Young Master be able to highlight his use. "

"If he was lucky enough to get rid of Ning Family and blame it on his big brother, then his biggest enemy in Loong Family would also disappear."
