Chapter 140 Liwei

The sunset gradually disappeared, and the moon slowly rose. Unconsciously, it was already ten minutes in the evening. Xia Houyi took Xia Houtian and came to the residence of Xia Houwen, the main party place.

"Master Yi, the little one is polite."

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xia Houtian heard a sound outside. He lifted the curtain and saw that a middle-aged man in a dark black cloth stood in front of the car with a respectful manner.

"Oh, it's Laifu. Is your master here?" Obviously, Xia Houyi knew this person and directly called him by his name. It seems that he should be a person like a housekeeper.

"Master Yi happened to be here. My master is discussing with all the masters. He hasn't rested yet!"

"Oh, go and report it. Just say that I came to visit with my nephew Xia Hou Tiantian!"

"Quick, put a stool on Master Yi, help Master Yi get out of the car, and wait for him carefully!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately asked the surrounding family to wait carefully, and then quickly walked to the house. He knew that the collateral master would be elected as the patriarch of Xiahou clan. This personal visit must have been bad. As the housekeeper of Xiahou Wenfu, he must tell his master, Xiahouwen, as soon as possible.

······

Xiahou Wenfu, in the living room, several men in gorgeous clothes are discussing something. The atmosphere seems to be very tense, and obviously there is no result.

"Master, Master Yi came to visit with his nephew!" Laifu hurried into the living room and informed his master loudly.

"Come to Fu, as a housekeeper, why are you so careless? Xia Houyi comes when he comes. Why are you so panicked!" On the lower left of Laifu, a white-haired old man scolded unhappily.

"Master Wu's lesson is that Laifu is wrong!"

"Come on, you said he came with his nephew. Is it Xia Houtian?"

Above the main hall, Xiahou Tianduan sat and asked his housekeeper with a trace of doubt. He thought of him and got the answer.

"Sir, Master Yi seems to have said that he came with his nephew Xia Hou Tiantian."

"What, Xia Houtian is also coming. Doesn't he know that today is the day of my family's party?"

Xiahou Wu was furious. Originally, the main line was taken the position of patriarch by the collateral line, and he always felt that he could not raise his head. He didn't expect that Xia Houyi had not officially succeeded the patriarch, so he came to set up his power, so how could he not be angry!

"Brother Wu, don't be impatient. Xia Houyi has been in charge for many years. She won't be so impetuous. There should be something else."

"Brother Wen, what else can be done? It's not Liwei. If I had known many years ago, I shouldn't have let go of their collaterals and annexed them directly, and there would not have been many things now!"

Xia Houwen's face changed and he scolded, "Brother Wu, don't talk too much. Remember, you also swore about what happened many years ago. You should also know that the power of the oath is the death of my master!"

"Brother Wen, I know I'm wrong, but I'm just angry just now!"

"Brother Wu, do you remember that that man only waved it gently and killed the only remaining elder of my master's family. What a power it is. If it hadn't been for my alertness, I'm afraid that my master's department would have already become the dust of history, a handful of loess under the imperial city!"

Xia Houwu obviously knew the power of it. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. Obviously, he recalled something and suddenly stopped talking.

"Well, everyone, Xia Houyi is not good. We will be careful to deal with it!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the leaders of the main department around him, Xia Houwen knew that his burden was very heavy, and the main department had lost the position of patriarch, and there must be no more loss.

"Let's go, everyone, let's meet for a while, the future patriarch Xiahou!"

······

In front of Xiahou Wenfu, Xiahouyi did not enter, but waited quietly. Seeing this, Xiahou Tian couldn't help asking, "Uncle, aren't we here to ask questions? Why don't we go in, but wait in front of the door?"

Xia Houyi smiled, stroked her beard and said, "Xiaotian, I'm about to succeed the patriarch. Naturally, I have to be deterred. I visited in person and have given the main face. As for whether they want it or not, it's their business. Just wait quietly."

"Oh."

After a while, Lai Fu led several men in gorgeous clothes to come out. The first person was Xia Houwen, who had several faces. He had not seen him for many years. Xia Houwen was obviously deeper than at that time.

"Brother Yi came to visit in person. Xia Houwen is far away. Forgive me!"

"Brother Wen is busy. It's not inconvenient. Let me introduce to you. This is my nephew - Xia Houtian."

"Xia Houtian has met all uncles and uncles!"

As soon as Xia Houwen saw Xia Houtian, he suddenly felt that Xia Houtian was heroic and extraordinary, which was obviously a sign of success in cultivation.

"Come on, Brother Yi, and, uh..."

"Brother Wen, as an elder, just call him Xiaotian." Xia Houyi saw that Xia Houwen paused and thought about it for a moment, so she reminded him.

"Come on, Brother Yi, Xiaotian, walk around and talk inside."

"Brother Wen, you're welcome, Xiaotian, let's go!"

After saying that, Xia Houyi held her head and walked into the door of Xiahou Wenfu. For many years, Xia Houyi walked in for the first time under such circumstances. For the first time, he felt that everything was worth it was worth it. Looking back when he came here before, the main person was aggressive. Xia Houyi I feel happy.

Xia Houtian looked at his uncle's great body. He knew that his uncle was tired of running around for half his life for the side's honor and disgrace, but under his persistent body, there was a tired heart!

Xia Houtian guessed correctly. Xia Houyi, who came from the army, was already very unfamiliar with the way of officialdom. Years of mediation between various forces and reconciled the contradictions between the main and the collateral, which has made him a little overwhelmed. He has a long history of retreat. If it hadn't been that no one could carry a heavy burden, he would not have been able to support it so far. .

At the same time, Xia Houtian understood that his uncle originally intended him to take over the position of patriarch, but unfortunately, under many temptations, he knew that Xia Houtian was undoubtedly nostalgic for power, so he did not say more.

Slowly approaching Xiahou Wenfu. Xiahouyi was happy, but she couldn't help but be a little worried. He was afraid that the hard-won position of the collaterals would be lost again. Thinking of the successor, he couldn't help but think of Xia Houyuan's words: "Brother, Xiao Tianzhi is not here, don't force him, just let him go!"

"Second brother, if there is anyone who can replace me, I won't do this. Forgive me, second brother!"

At this moment, Xia Houyi made a decision, that is, he must let Xia Houtian take over and lead the collateral line. Even if Xia Houtian does not want to, he will force him to take office. This is the sadness of being the leader, and it is also the responsibility of Xia Houtian to be the son of the Xiahou family.

"Xiaotian, forgive uncle. Uncle can't watch the sideline fall!"

Xia Houyi turned her head and looked at Xia Houtian. In her eyes, she apologized for a long time. After Xia Houtian noticed it, she was a little confused. She didn't know why her uncle was about to ask so much, but she had come to the living room and didn't say anything.

"Brother Yi, please take a seat!"

"Brother Wen is so polite, then I will be rude, hahaha!"

"Xia Houyi, how can you be so shameless? My eldest brother is just polite and humble, you..."

"Brother Wu, step back!"

"Brother Wen, you!"

"Recede! Don't you listen to me?"

"Brother Wen, hey!"

"Brother Yi, Xia Houwu's joke, don't take it seriously!"

"Where, no, no, but this is the right position?"

"Naturally, Brother Yi sits down, and the brother Yi, who is about to succeed as the patriarch of Xiahou, is the most suitable!"

"Since Brother Wen is so polite, I am disrespectful, and I also know that today is the day when Brother Wen meets several leaders of the main department. It would have been inconvenient to disturb him. If it hadn't been urgent, I would never have chosen to come at this time. Please forgive me!"

"No, no!" Everyone said one after another, with an easy-going tone and no unhappiness. As for what happened in their hearts, only they knew.

"Okay, Xiaotian, you can say it yourself!"

Watching Xia Houyi throw his words to him, Xia Houtian knew that this was creating momentum for him: "Yes, uncle!"
