Chapter 168 Mask

  When Xu Yuan returned to the courtyard prepared by Baizhao for Xu Yuan and the three of them, Xu Xinyao was sitting in front of the pavilion in the courtyard, talking to Ran Qingmo in a low voice.

  But when Xu Yuan pushed the door open, Xu Xinyao immediately stopped talking, as if she didn’t want him to hear it.

  Xu Yuan came over and asked with a smile:

   “What are you talking about?”

  Xu Xinyao stood up, bent her eyes and smiled:

   “Secret conversations in the girl’s house, third brother, you also want to know?”

   “Think about it.”

   Walking closer, Xu Yuan sat down casually, put the box containing the human skin mask on the table, and said with a smile:

   “Of course, Ran Qingmo, what were you talking about just now?”

  Ran Qingmo on the side put away his half-understanding look, hesitated a little, shook his head and said:

   “Xinyao told me that I can’t tell you about this.”

   “Oh?”

  Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: “What is so mysterious.”

   “Cough!”

  Xu Xinyao cleared her throat at this moment and interrupted, changed the subject, bent her eyes and said with a smile:

   “Third brother, what’s in this box?”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan didn’t delve into what the second daughter’s spy just said, but whispered to the saint’s remnant soul, “Seal for a while”, and then blocked the saint’s remnant soul’s five senses.

  Opening the box, he whispered:

   “Human skin mask, you and I each have one, and bring it when you go to negotiate.”

   “What?”

  Xu Xinyao looked at the two compartments in the box, her eyes were a little surprised: “With a mask?”

  Xu Yuan picked up the teacup on the stone table, poured himself a cup, and drank it down:

   “Father’s meaning.”

  Xu Xinyao’s eyes showed some thought when she heard the words, but she asked immediately:

  ”Why?”

  Xu Yuan put down his teacup, tapped his finger on the stone table lightly, did not answer immediately, but continued:

  ”In addition, my father also gave me the command of the 40,000 black scale army, and according to Yuan Hao, as long as I want, I can unconditionally order him to destroy Vientiane directly Zong.”

  “.”

  Ran Qingmo blinked his eyes, a little confused.

  Xu Xinyao frowned, and said in a low voice:

   “Third brother, what are you telling me about this?”

  She didn’t think that the third brother in front of her told her this to ask for her opinion.

  Xu Yuan sighed for a long time, and said in a low voice:

   “I want to ask you, what happened to the second brother’s death?”

  In the various plot lines of Cangyuan, Xu Changan, the second son of the Xiangguo Mansion, has never appeared in the scene, so Xu Yuan was unable to learn any useful information from it.

  The news about the death of the second brother in this life is just that one day when he was enjoying himself in Goulan, he suddenly learned that the second brother had passed away and told him to return home immediately.

  At that time, it was impossible for the dandy to come into contact with these things, but Xu Xinyao had already studied and returned home at that time. Given the other party’s status at the time, she should know some inside stories.

  Hearing the word “Second Brother”, Xu Xinyao was taken aback for a moment, then her beautiful eyes dimmed for a moment, and she asked in a puzzled way:

   “Third Brother, why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

  Xu Yuan did not answer immediately, but asked:

   “I have some guesses in my mind, so I want to ask.”

  Xu Xinyao pondered slightly, and said in a low voice:

  ”Brother asked my father about this matter, but my father didn’t say much, he just said that he was to blame for this matter. When my elder brother asked, my father seemed a little angry, so my elder brother left the house directly.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan frowned little by little when he heard this:

   “What did Xu Changge do?”

  Xu Xinyao shook her head:

   “Don’t know.”

  Xu Yuan continued to ask:

   “Are you sure your father was angry because of the big brother’s questioning?”

  Xu Xinyao thought about it carefully, and said in a low voice:

  ”It’s not angry, the voice is very serious.”

  Speaking,

  Xu Xinyao saw Xu Yuan’s complicated expression, and asked softly:

   “Third brother, second brother’s death, is it related to this matter?”

   “No.”

  Xu Yuan’s tone was complicated: “But I probably know who the person who attacked the second brother is.”

  “.”

  Xu Xinyao’s beautiful eyes were surprised when she heard the words, and her delicate skinned palms were slightly clenched:

   “Who is it?”

   “Everyone.”

   “Huh?”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan took a deep breath, glanced at the human skin mask on the table, and said word by word:

   “Everyone except our Xiangguo Mansion.”

  “.”

  When Xu Xinyao heard these words, doubts appeared in her beautiful eyes:

   “Everyone?”

  Xu Yuan looked down at his palm:

   “Second brother’s death is most likely because he was too sharp.”

  Xu Xinyao’s beautiful eyes were full of doubts:

   “Too sharp? But brother, isn’t he more sharp?”

   “Xu Changge?”

  Xu Yuan leaned against the wooden guardrail behind:

   “Xu Changge’s cultivation base is too high. He was already at the beginning ten years ago. Our family members don’t know his current specific cultivation base. If the outside world wants to kill him, at least two or three transformations will be required.” It’s safe.

   “And Xinyao, those people are actually more afraid of the second brother than the eldest brother.”

  “.”

  Xu Xinyao’s beautiful eyes became even more puzzled.

  Xu Changge is famous all over the world, but Xu Changan is only a little famous.

  Xu Yuan sighed and asked:

   “Xinyao, you should remember what the second brother was doing before?”

  Xu Xinyao thought for a while and said:

   “The second brother seems to have followed his father after returning from his travels”

  Xu Yuan nodded:

  ”Yes, you didn’t come back when he returned from his travels. I have always been in the imperial capital, so I know that the second brother is in charge of contacting many important guests, even Mr. Hua Hong and Aunt Lou Ji. .”

  Xu Xinyao heard this, and already understood what the third brother in front of her meant:

   “Third brother, you mean, father wants to train second brother to succeed him?”

  Xu Yuan thought of the back figure who always held a stick in front of him:

   “After all, the second brother has liked reasoning the most since he was a child.”

   After all, be quiet for a long time.

  Ran Qingmo bit his lip, looked at Xu Yuan and wanted to say something comforting, but couldn’t.

  Xu Yuan took the human skin mask out of the box:

  ”Now everyone in the world wants our Xiangguo Mansion to decline, so the second brother must die. Once he dies, no one in our family can take over the father’s position.

  ”You know the structure of our Xiangguo Mansion. It basically revolves around the father alone. If you can’t hold down the people below, it will easily fall apart.”

   “But, isn’t there a big brother?”

  Xu Xinyao said in a low voice.

  In her impression, except for Xu Yuan, the two elder brothers are omnipotent.

  Xu Changge’s figure appeared in Xu Yuan’s mind, and he shook his head in denial:

   “Brother, he can’t do it.

  ”Although he can suppress the people below, he is too indifferent and doesn’t know how to endure. At most, he will only become the next uncle. If he takes over the Xiangguo Mansion, there is a high probability that it will gradually decline.

   “This is probably why my father was helpless.”

   “The Zongmen, the aristocratic family, and even the Holy One in the Golden Temple, they all want the second brother to die.”

  What the world is afraid of is not Xu Changge, but what is afraid of another Xu Yinhe from the Xiangguo Mansion.

  The words fall,

  Xu Yuan put a human skin mask on his face.
