"Xu Ming, tell me what happened?" Xu Lei winked at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming immediately told Xia Yu's story and concluded: "That's how it is. It is a major matter of the Xu family's bloodline to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors. It must be decided by the family meeting held by important members of the family."

"There is such a thing, and it really requires internal research in the family conference."

"Yes, yes, it's not only the return of the Xu family's bloodline, but also the inheritance of the throne. Don't be careless."

"We are all idle people and absolutely follow the arrangements of the emperor."

...

Several old guys spoke one after another, but their eyes were always aiming at Xu Lei. They couldn't figure out what Xu Lei was thinking, so they could only mix with him.

Xu Lei sat on the chair with expressionless face, gently tapping on the table, without making a statement at the first time.

After a long silence, Xu Lei spoke: "In theory, Xia Yu is my grandson, and I should support his return, after all, blood is thicker than water."

Hearing this, Xu Ming and others became nervous.

"But the problem is that you all know that I was fair when I was in power, and I have a clear conscience to all brothers. Now it is related to the inheritance of the throne, so I still have to discuss it with you."

Xu Lei looked at Xu Ming uncertainly: "You really don't have any of your own ideas and opinions, it's boring to mix with me in front of me."

"To be honest, Xia Yu's identity...even if he is from the Xu family's blood, he is also the successor of Xia Qingkong.

Several of our brothers were killed by Xia Qingkong back then. Now I feel uncomfortable when I ask his apprentice to inherit the throne!" Seeing that no one expressed his opinion, Xu Ming spoke tactfully.

"Don't say you're uncomfortable, I'm also uncomfortable." Xu Lei curled his lips in disgust and looked at the others: "We are all brothers, so I'm not afraid of embarrassing today. I'll tell you a secret."

"What's the secret?" The group of people looked at Xu Lei nervously at the same time.

"I... I am actually one of the contestants in this competition, I am the old master."

Xu Lei gritted his teeth and then cursed: "You all know what that guy Xia Yu has done to me. I wish I could kill him with my own hands, but I never had a chance."

Hearing this, Xu Ming and others widened their eyes in disbelief. This was really a very explosive secret.

The old master was hurt to pull his pants in public, which was more difficult for a person like Xu Lei than death. The culprit was Xia Yu. No wonder Xu Lei had no favoritism for Xia Yu at all, which completely agreed with the logic.

"Okay, I hope you guys can support my decision at the family meeting."

Xu Lei took a deep breath and said fearfully: "Qingyang is still the king of the Wuzhi Kingdom after all, and he has a lot of armed forces and family shares in his hands. If you don't have your support, it will be difficult for me to fight his decision."

"I understand, I will definitely support the emperor's brother." Xu Ming made a statement immediately and was very excited.

Others also expressed their support for Xu Lei. They had already figured out Xu Lei's thoughts, so the rest was easy to say.

That night, Tiehu sat cross-legged in the prison and meditated and rested. When Xia Yu was letting go, he had already thought of his own fate. The crime of deceiving the emperor was enough to behead him, so he is very calm now.

Just as Tiehu was meditating with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Qingyang wearing a black cloak standing in front of the cell.

"Your Majesty? Please see Your Majesty." After being slightly surprised, Tiehu quickly stood up and saluted.

"No need for too much politeness." Xu Qingyang waved his hand and opened the cell while taking out a black token and handing it to Tiehu.

"Is this a black tiger talisman?" Tiehu looked at the token in his hand in shock: "Isn't your tiger talisman golden?"

"The tiger talisman can be able to allocate all armed forces across the country. Seeing a tiger is like seeing a king, this is something that many people know!

This black tiger talisman is my personal armed force. No one has seen the black tiger talisman except me. It is a group of dead soldiers recruited from all over the country after my level."

Xu Qingyang glanced at the black token in his hand: "There are not many dead men, only one thousand, but they are all loyal to me. I will give these people to you today."

"Your Majesty, why is this?" Tiehu's face changed slightly, and he suddenly became nervous. Xu Qingyang looked at Tiehu with an expressionless face: "Now the armed forces in the capital are too scattered. The Qin family holds a legion, and Xu Qingfeng controls tens of thousands of troops in the city defense camp, and I only have the Yulin Guard and my personal guards. If an accident happens, I will have no choice but to do so.

Not enough to confront.

At the most important time, in front of some people, I cannot use these powers, and can only rely on these dead soldiers to do some things."

"What happened? Someone has a coup?" Tiehu looked at Xu Qingyang nervously, wondering why Xu Qingyang wanted to make such a comparison of strength?

"Not yet, but it's very likely to happen." Xu Qingyang sighed, "I jailed you before to deal with what will happen next. Although the tiger talisman is in my hands, I can't mobilize troops myself, so this matter can only be done by you. No one will think of you wearing it alone.

The sinful man can master the elite power.”

"Your Majesty..." "All this is for our children, I must let Xia Yu take office." Xu Qingyang did not give Tiehu a chance to speak: "You will lead this group of people tonight to set up defenses. Once something happens, I want you to control it in the shortest time.

The entire imperial city.”

"I obey the order." Tiehu's face changed slightly, and he stopped talking nonsense. He instantly realized that Xia Yu must have encountered resistance when he returned to the royal family. Now Xu Qingyang is preparing to take his leave, destroy all opposition forces, and clear obstacles for Xia Yu to ascend the throne in the future.

"Tiehu, don't let me down!" Xu Qingyang explained and took Tiehu out of the cell.

In Xu Qingfeng's mansion.

The three generations of the Xu family's grandchildren were held in the study, and they all laughed so hard that they leaned back and forth.

"Father, I really didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor was the old master."

Xu Qingfeng covered his stomach, wiped his tears and laughed: "The old master was hurt by Xia Yu in the competition and pulled his pants in public. Not to mention the Supreme Emperor, even an ordinary person would be embarrassed and angry. It was so surprising."

"We were worried that the Supreme Emperor would stand in the same camp as Xu Qingyang, but now... the Supreme Emperor would think of the embarrassing memories in the competition as soon as he saw Xia Yu, and not killing Xia Yu was already concerned about family affection."
