I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 33 Crazy Gamble

Yellow House.

It is located in the most central location of Qingzhou Fucheng.

The high walls and thick gates stretch for miles. From a distance, it looks like a city within a city.

The backyard of the mansion and the open space in front of the ancestral hall.

Pieces of white stones with flat sides were neatly laid out on the ground. On both sides of the open space, stood two rows of young men with solemn faces. It could be seen from the serious eyes of these men that these people were martial arts masters.

There are nearly a hundred young martial arts masters, including military generals. This is the capital of the eight major surnames of the Huang family in the Liang Dynasty.

If these young martial arts masters represent the future of the Huang family, then the four old men standing in front of the ancestral hall gate represent the foundation of the Huang family.

The five elders of the Huang Family Elders Group, except for the great elder who had been in seclusion for a long time, the other four were all present.

In previous years, except for the ancestor worship ceremony, the four elders rarely got together. Some of them practiced martial arts in seclusion within the clan, while others went out to travel.

However, the reason why the four elders gathered together today is that today is the day when the young head of the Huang family enters the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.

Looking at the figure walking towards the gate of the ancestral hall, many people present had complicated expressions.

The battle for the young head of the family, which had lasted for several years, finally came to an end today. No one expected that the final winner would be Huang Zhongtai.

This is the illegitimate son of the head of the family. As early as seven years ago, many Huang family members had never heard of this name.

The eldest son of the family head, Huang Zhongqian, was extremely talented in martial arts, which overshadowed other clan members of his generation. Many clan members acquiesced that Huang Zhongqian was the next heir to the family head.

However, Huang Zhongqian's sudden death seven years ago caused everything to change.

Those who were suppressed by Huang Zhongqian as the head of the family who had the strength to compete began to have their thoughts. After several years of fighting, it was Huang Zhongtai and Huang Zhongxing who finally escaped from the tight siege.

Compared to Huang Zhongtai, the tribe is more optimistic about Huang Zhongxing.

The reason is very simple. Although Huang Zhongtai was born to the head of the family, he was an illegitimate son. The wife of the head of the family was very dissatisfied with him and suppressed him many times without concealing it. Although Huang Zhongxing was from a collateral lineage, his father was a fourth-grade military general. Second only to the head of the family.

Moreover, Huang Zhongxing's own martial arts talent is also extremely high, and he broke through to the sixth rank of general three years ago.

Before today, Huang Zhong Tairuo's revealed strength was that of a seventh-grade martial artist.

Who would have thought that Huang Zhongtai had hidden his strength and had already broken through to the level of a fifth-grade military general, easily defeating Huang Zhongxing.

It’s so deeply hidden.

After defeating Huang Zhongxing and gaining recognition from the elders and the head of the family, Huang Zhongtai only needs to enter the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors, and the identity of the heir to the head of the family will be completely determined.

Huang Zhongxing in the crowd had a look of reluctance in his eyes. He didn't expect Huang Zhongtai to hide so deeply. He had broken through to the fifth level but was still swallowing his anger in Daning County and fighting with He Xu, who was at the seventh level.

He Xu was his man, and he arranged for He Xu to be appointed magistrate of Daning County, Raozhou Prefecture. The purpose was to let He Xu cause trouble for Huang Zhongtai and test Huang Zhongtai's strength.

"Brother, even if Huang Zhongtai becomes the young head of the family and becomes the head of the family in the future, he can't retaliate against us arbitrarily with the elders here. Don't let Huang Zhongtai have a chance."

The man next to Huang Zhongxing reminded him softly that the hatred in his brother's eyes was too obvious. He had hatred towards the young family head, which was not allowed by the top family officials.

"He is not the young master yet!"

Huang Zhongxing whispered, looking at Huang Zhongtai who was only a few steps away from the gate of the ancestral hall, he didn't care whether he succeeded or not, and shouted directly: "Four elders, Huang Zhongtai is not qualified to be the young head of the family!"

If Huang Zhongtai enters the ancestral hall, there will be no room for change.

Even if Daning County succeeds and secretly excludes Huang Zhongtai in the end, the position of head of the family still belongs to him, because the Huang family is one of the eight major surnames in the world and they have to maintain their face.

"Huang Zhongxing, do you know what you are talking about?"

One of the four elders glanced over coldly. The power of the master-level man fell. Huang Zhongxing's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Zhongxing knows what he is talking about. Zhongxing has no complaints when he loses, but Huang Zhongtai is indeed not qualified to be the head of the family."

Not daring to show off anymore, Huang Zhongxing continued: "Huang Zhongtai practices the Tiancan technique, so his strength will break through quickly, but practicing this technique will no longer be able to give birth to children."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and everyone looked at Huang Zhongtai.

Tiancan Kung Fu does not refer to a martial arts technique, but a type of martial arts technique. This type of martial arts technique has a flaw. After practicing, some defects will appear in the body.

Some people’s lifespans are shortened after practicing cultivation, and some people will gradually lose their sanity...

"Zhongtai, is what Huang Zhongxing said true?"

The person who asked the question was the head of the Huang family, with sharp eyes that seemed to have some special meaning.

"Father, what the four elders said is true."

Huang Zhongtai stopped and turned around, admitting directly.

"But Zhongtai had already left an heir before he started practicing. He is currently in Daning County. Zhongtai will have someone pick him up today."

"What if your son is already dead!"

Huang Zhongxing interrupted Huang Zhongtai's words without hesitation. His words aroused strange looks from other members of the Huang family at the scene.

Huang Zhongtai’s son died?

Isn't that your subordinate's hand?
However, these tribesmen are not very angry. The family chooses the young master in this way, which is like raising Gu, allowing a group of talented people to fight with each other and finally decide who is the strongest.In private, these competitors use a lot of vicious methods, and the senior members of the clan also pretend not to know, as long as they don't show it to the public.

Huang Zhongxing said it clearly, but he didn't say it clearly. To put it bluntly, all the Huang family members felt the same as Ming Jing, but on the surface everyone pretended not to understand.

"In that case, Zhongtai... forget it, Huanglong, go to Daning County to pick up Zhongtai's son." The head of the Huang family said.

"Father, my son has been sent to pick him up. If everything goes well, he should be back soon." Huang Zhongtai replied.

As early as yesterday after defeating Huang Zhongxing and his people were controlled by the senior leaders of the clan, he sent his steward to Daning County.

"Then just wait a moment."

The elders of the Huang family spoke, and no one had any objections.

The head of the family is not allowed to have no heirs. If the head of the family has no heirs, he does not need to consider his descendants. It is easy to sacrifice the family for himself.

Time is passing little by little.

The entire Huang family in front of the ancestral hall, except for the four elders, including the head of the family, felt that time was passing so slowly.

Huang Zhongxing and Huang Zhongtai looked at each other. When they saw the sarcastic smile on Huang Zhongtai's face, Huang Zhongxing couldn't help but said:

"Don't be too happy. It's not certain who will win or lose."

What he hates the most is Huang Zhongtai's smile. You, Huang Zhongtai, are just an illegitimate son. If Huang Zhongqian hadn't died unexpectedly, who would have known who you are.

The outcome is uncertain, why are you laughing!
Finally, there was movement outside the door.

"Sir, the wife and the young master have arrived at the house safely."

The butler appeared. The smile on Huang Zhongtai's face remained unchanged, but the right hand clenched tightly in his cuff was slowly loosened at this moment.

After all, he won this huge gamble.

If he hadn't deliberately exposed the flaws in his skills and let Huang Zhongxing discover the whereabouts of his wife and children, making Huang Zhongxing think he had control over his life and not attack him early, he wouldn't have grown to this point.

If he loses, he will never recover, but if he doesn't gamble, he will be looked down upon by others for the rest of his life with the title of illegitimate son, and he will not be able to avenge his mother.

"Please ask the young master Huang Zhongtai to worship his ancestors!"

While everyone was still immersed in the shock of Huang Zhongtai's complete transformation, the elder's solemn and solemn voice made all the discussion and uproar disappear instantly.

……

……

The back house of Huang Mansion, the courtyard of the young master.

As soon as Huang Zhongtai entered the courtyard, he looked at Chu Ning who stood up from the chair and his wife and children sitting at another table. He paused for a moment, then walked faster, walked to Chu Ning and suddenly bowed.

"Uncle Huang, this can't be done. You are the elder and I am the junior. How can an elder salute a junior?"

"This is not a salute from an elder to a younger generation. This is a husband and father's gratitude to the savior who saved my wife and children."

"Then let's put it this way, without your help, Uncle Huang, my old aunt and I might have gone to the streets to beg for food or even starve to death. This is also a life-saving grace." Chu Ning chuckled.

"It's different. I was just selling a favor, but you almost lost your life."

Huang Zhongtai was very serious, and Chu Ning could only say: "You are my Uncle Huang, and you should be the protective aunt and cousin of your nephew. If you say this, you are disowning me as your nephew."

"Okay, I can't speak against you with your mouth." Huang Zhongtai smiled, and then looked at his wife and children: "Xiao Xuan, your life was saved by Chu Ning, you must do this courtesy."

"Yes, father."

Xuan'er respectfully walked up to Chu Ning and saluted Chu Ning.

"Xiaoxuan thanks Brother Chu for saving his life."

"Brother Chu, I will call you eldest brother from now on." Huang Zhongtai frowned.

After not staying in the yard for long, Chu Ning made an excuse and left. Uncle Huang's family had a lot to say now.

"Mr. Chu, the master asked me to arrange a place for you. You will live in the Huang Mansion. It may not be very safe outside. The master in Xiafeng Town has arranged for someone to handle the rest. Don't worry."

Chu Ning understood that although Uncle Huang became the young head of the family, he could not control the entire Huang family so quickly. As one of the important figures in Uncle Huang's comeback, I am afraid that many Huang family members would like to eat him alive. Living in Huang The house is indeed the safest.

The housekeeper arranged a separate courtyard for Chu Ning. Chu Ning walked around and called it "good guy". This was even comparable to Uncle Huang's mansion in Daning County.

As expected of the Huang family, one of the eight major families of the Liang Dynasty, this was just one of the courtyards reserved for guests in the Huang Mansion. The entire mansion was probably as big as the county seat of Daning County.

In the next few days, Chu Ning lived in the yard and never went out. It was not safe outside, but Chu Ning was not at ease in the Huang Mansion. Uncle Huang had an illegitimate child and turned around. There must be many people in the Huang family who were dissatisfied. I'm afraid that someone will deliberately cause trouble for me, so I might as well just stay in this yard.

After seven leisurely days, Chu Ning finally met Huang Zhongtai again.

PS: Everyone said that the changed title was worse, but big data doesn’t lie. The click-through rate changed to 40‰. After thinking about it for a while, Jiudeng understood why this happened. Everyone came in to read it before the title was changed. , indicating that everyone recognized the original title of the book, and naturally felt that the new title was not good.

Ahem, for this reason Jiu Deng decided that the title of the book would be this, and the cover of the book would be the original, unless Qidian changed it for me someday, I am really smart.
