Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 98 Cheng Guogong, Duan Rufeng!
Dingtianfu.

As the capital of Daqing, Dingtianfu has always been very stable, whether it is people's livelihood, climate, or public security, it has been the same for decades.

Similarly, for decades, there is also the daily pastime of the common people - lace and gossip.

No one dared to spread the news about the affairs in the palace, and the news about the high gate compound could not be revealed, and it was trivial to talk about among neighbors.

It was so bland.

But this day is different.

"Have you heard? Cheng Guogong's mansion is completely deserted. I don't know who died."

"It's more than just hearing that I just passed by from a long distance. As for who will die... besides Lao Cheng, who else can be?"

"Indeed, Cheng Guogong has nearly eighty years of life, right? He should die."

"..."

News like this was quietly spread in private, and even some small nobles and families participated in it, and the discussions continued.

Chengguo Mansion, the main hall.

Duan Rufeng, Duke Cheng of the 'Damn', sat on the throne.

Just sitting like that, the tall and majestic body has a majesty of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi.

It's just that he closed his eyes, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any sadness or anger.

In addition to Duke Cheng, there was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face in the main hall, who was Duan Yuanyang, the eldest son of Duke Cheng.

This man who looked simple and honest was roaring incomparably angrily at this moment.

"Audacious, simply audacious!"

"How dare Wuxie do such a thing?"

"That's his father after all!"

"Is there any misunderstanding between father and son that cannot be eliminated?"

"Do you have to get to this point of killing each other?"

"If it gets out, where will we put the face of Duke Cheng?"

"Father, where should you put your face?!"

"I have pity on my wise and martial second brother, who is about to break through the realm. In the future, he may even let the Duan family have two dukes... to die like this!"

"This evil breed..."

Duan Yuanyang's beard and hair were all stretched out, trembling with anger, he scolded for half an hour before he stopped, and cupped his fists at his superior, "Father, the child is not talented, I am willing to lead the Chisong Army to catch that evil species back!"

"you……"

Duan Rufeng slowly opened his eyes, "Are you so happy?"

"Open... what does father mean by this?"

Duan Yuanyang's face was dull, "The death of the second brother, the heartache of the child is unbearable, how can you be happy?!"

"Because you think that if your second brother died and your nephew did such a thing again, I would definitely not pass on the position to him."

Duan Rufeng explained for the eldest son, "Is that right?"

puff.

Duan Yuanyang directly knelt down, trembling, full of panic and grief: "Father has been wronged! You can swear to God, you have no such intention!"

"Really?"

Duan Rufeng's tone was as calm as before, "Then let me ask you, if there is Xiangyi, how do you plan to find Wuxie?"

"This kid has a plan!"

Duan Yuanyang straightened his body, and said confidently: "We know the true face of that evil species. As long as he writes his name on the Skynet, it will be useless for him to escape to the ends of the world!"

"Skynet?"

Duan Rufeng's tone rose slightly, "You mean, let me, at my age, with a shy old face, use red leather's advice to deal with our own family affairs?"

"This……"

Duan Yuanyang lowered his head, his eyes flickering: "My child knows that family ugliness should not be publicized, but the death of the second brother cannot be concealed at all. Even Zhang Hua's few officials can guess that it is the head of that evil. One day it will..."

Snapped!
Before he finished speaking, Duan Yuanyang was slapped and flew out, and he rolled over and over again before stopping.

"One evil seed at a time, one evil seed at a time."

Duan Rufeng appeared on the spot where Duan Yuanyang knelt before, with a violent expression: "Take a step back, Wuxie is your second brother's son after all, and your second brother is also my seed!"

"...The child knows his mistake!"

Duan Yuanyang got up, ignoring the blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and kowtowed repeatedly.

It's just that the look in the eyes below is so vicious that it's a little creepy.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Duan Rufeng smiled disdainfully, "You just want to spread this matter as widely as possible. It's best that His Majesty reprimands Wuxie so that Wuxie will never be the head of the family, right?"

"This... the child has no such intentions!"

Duan Yuanyang raised his head, his face full of horror: "The child has no talent or morality, and is not enough to support the position of Duke. I have never dared to expect it. If my father doesn't believe it... If I don't believe it, just don't use Skynet. Using the same life lock, a child can find him! And this way, there is no fear of being known!"

"Lock with the same name?"

The disdain on Duan Rufeng's face became stronger, "Yes, if you use the same life lock, you can indeed find Wu Xie, but after you find him? What are you going to do? Use the same life lock to suppress his power, and then kill him On the spot, right?"

"baby……"

"To shut up!"

Duan Rufeng scolded, directly interrupting Duan Yuanyang's sophistry, "I have heard too many lies from you in my life, and I have heard enough."

Duan Yuanyang was shocked, but he shut his mouth honestly, not daring to say another word.

"I don't object to your ambition, even if you are despicable, shameless, indecent, and have no bottom line, I can accept it."

Duan Rufeng turned around and walked towards the main seat, talking while walking, his tone was low, lonely and helpless.

"If you can rely on conspiracy to kill your second brother, your nephew, or even me, not only will I not blame you in the slightest, but I will even show off to my ancestors underground... because I sons are stronger than theirs!"

"But what about you?"

"Have you ever done one thing in your life?"

"There are no small mistakes in being an official, but big mistakes must be made."

"Marry a daughter-in-law and you will play to death... That stepping horse is your daughter-in-law, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, not the courtesan of the brothel!"

"You can't even give birth to a child with a handle."

"That's right, since ancient times it has been inherited by the eldest son, and our Duan family is the same."

Duan Rufeng sat down on the main seat, and looked at Duan Yuanyang with hatred, "But ask yourself, can I rest assured that such a large family business is in your hands?"

"I know my mistake, I have embarrassed my father..."

Duan Yuanyang lowered his head, the resentment in his heart was too strong to be added.

"okay."

Duan Rufeng waved his hand weakly, "You are indeed a piece of mud that cannot be supported on the wall, but now, the position of the Duke can only be taken by you."

"what?!"

Duan Yuanyang raised his head suddenly, with a look of disbelief.

It is obvious that the words have reached this point, and the protection of Duan Wuxie has reached this level, he should have no hope of being the head of the family anymore, why the sudden reversal?

Could it be... The old man was so shocked by the death of his second brother that he lost his mind and went crazy?

Thinking of this, Duan Yuanyang was ecstatic, and immediately looked into Duan Rufeng's eyes.

This……

Duan Yuanyang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately lowered his head again.

He could see clearly that Duan Rufeng's eyes were tired and weak, but he was clearly awake, without any signs of confusion.

It's not like being insane at all.

If you're not crazy, why do you say that?

Duan Yuanyang couldn't understand.

At this moment, Duan Rufeng gave the answer.

"The lock of the same life has been broken."

Duan Rufeng slowly closed his eyes.

"What?! Broken?!"

Duan Yuanyang turned pale with fright, and uncontrollably fell backwards, from kneeling on the ground to sitting on the ground.

The same life lock is not a very high-level treasure, at best it is at the level of a magic soldier, and it is mainly used to train outstanding juniors of the family.

But this kind of unique magic soldiers is extremely rare, even in the capital where there are many nobles and officials like dogs, few can afford to use them.

It has only one function, linking the life sources of the two together.

This fate link does not mean that if one of them dies, the other will definitely die.

Its real effect is on martial arts - as long as one of the two people makes progress in martial arts, the other will get feedback.

Only when both of them die, will the same fate lock be broken.

and so……

The second child and his bastard are all dead? !

Duan Yuanyang came back to his senses, and began to try his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, preventing it from rising.

"Even if the same life lock is not broken, I don't believe that Wu Xie killed your second brother."

Duan Rufeng continued, "You may think that Wu Xie is afraid of waiting too long to become the Patriarch, so he will kill your second brother, but you don't know, Wu Xie doesn't want to be the Duke of Cheng at all...he prefers Hiding in the dark, enjoying the feeling that no one in the world knows him."

"What's more, the same life lock is broken now."

"It is very possible that Wu Xie's death was much earlier than your second brother."

It is indeed possible...

Duan Yuanyang gradually calmed down from the excitement, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Now, you are the only candidate for the position of Duke."

"However, if you want to be the Duke of this country, you must accomplish one thing."

"If I can't do this, I'd rather go to the palace to face the saint, and ask His Majesty to cut off the title, and I will never leave it to you!"

Duan Rufeng's eyes widened with anger, and iron-blooded energy rose brilliantly, covering the entire main hall.

"You, can you hear me clearly?!"
