Chapter 372 Rules Are Made To Break

"Oh? How messy?"

Hearing Dongfang Lingshao's voice, Zuo Yang finally opened one eye to look at him, and asked lightly.

"Since the eunuch passed the decree this afternoon, my father hastily called all the core disciples into the meeting hall to discuss countermeasures. We didn't even let us eat dinner. We haven't come up with an effective solution until now."

Dongfang Lingshao hurriedly said honestly, "I still use the latrine as an excuse, and then I found a chance to come out to inform you, senior brother, this time I can only rely on you, you should act quickly, or maybe my father will be a little bit more serious." It's time for them to discuss the matter of fleeing the whole family in order to keep the 'Forge'..."

"Well, so your father and the others are still in the council hall?"

Zuo Yang smiled and asked.

"Exactly, senior brother..."

Dongfang Ling answered less, but the expression on his face was still very anxious, he moved Zuo Yang and wanted to urge Zuo Yang to leave.

"Okay, you settle the tea money first, and then take me to the meeting hall of your Eastern family."

Zuo Yang finally opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said.

A tea house is the same as a restaurant, it costs money to squat inside to drink tea, but the money is not in vain, you can get experience points and cultivation base bonuses for a certain period of time, of course, tea and wine also have high and low points, The more expensive tea you order, the longer the bonus will last, but there is a daily limit...

Zuo Yang is now working for the Dongfang family, and the money has to be paid by the Dongfang family due to emotion and reason. This has been the case for the past two days. Therefore, when someone pays for reimbursement, Zuo Yang's drink is of course the most expensive. Good tea, the two days of repairing the value of the brush is naturally much more comfortable than before.

"Naturally, I was already married when I entered the door just now, but..."

Speaking of this, Dongfang Lingshao showed a look of embarrassment on his face again, frowned slightly, and said with some hesitation, "Senior brother, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to take you directly to my family's meeting hall..."

"Since the establishment of the Eastern Family, there has been an iron rule: no one from outside the clan is allowed to enter the meeting hall. After so many years, no one has dared to break this rule, so I will take you in privately... It's a trivial matter for me to be punished by the family law, I'm afraid my father and his group of old antiques don't know how to be flexible, and you will be in trouble if you are abrupt at that time."

"In addition, there are a lot of people in the meeting hall right now, and some people speak badly, so they will inevitably say something you don't like to hear, so... why don't I arrange for you to wait in the living room after entering the Dongfang Mansion later. After a while, go to the meeting hall to call my father out, and then, how about you tell him your plan?"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Ling Shao looked at Zuo Yang eagerly again, for fear that Zuo Yang would change his mind because of this rule.

"I think it's better to go directly to the meeting hall."

Zuo Yang still said with a smile, with an old god on his face.

He naturally has his own plans:

If he only came into contact with Dongfang City this time, I am afraid that in the end, he can only stay behind the scenes. In the entire Dongfang family, only Dongfang City and Dongfang Lingshao know what he has done, and the whereabouts of the [Hunyuan Casting Furnace] can only Based on these two people, although Dongfang City knows it best, as the head of the family, he will definitely not tell the whereabouts of the ancestral treasure. Even if he is willing, other people in the clan will not understand.

Needless to say, Dongfang Lingshao, this guy is still young. Although Zuo Yang has not asked, he also feels that the possibility of Dongfang City telling him the whereabouts of such an important thing is very low.

Therefore, he wants to offer advice in the meeting hall, so that everyone in the Dongfang family knows that he is the benefactor of the Dongfang family.

In this way, if Dongfang City is willing to give the [Hunyuan Foundry Furnace] to his great benefactor, the other tribesmen have nothing to say; With the foreshadowing done, it will be easier to obtain more information about the [Hunyuan Foundry Furnace] in side-by-side attacks, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Compared with the plan in Zuo Yang's heart, even if he listens to some words he doesn't like, he may even have other troubles. He doesn't care. When he was at a loss, he never dared to do too much to him, the person who offered advice.

After all, compared with the iron law of the family, the life and death of the family is naturally more important. If the family is gone, why do we need the iron law?

"This……"

Seeing what Zuo Yang said, more hesitation immediately appeared on Dongfang Lingshao's face. After all, the iron law of the family still has some weight in his heart.

"Could it be that the Eastern family is full of ungrateful, cross-river and bridge-destroyers?"

Zuo Yang asked again with empty eyes.

"Of course not! Even if some of my Eastern family's actions are not upright, they are definitely not such treacherous people, otherwise how can we gain a foothold in this arena!"

Dongfang Lingshao straightened his chest immediately, and justified his family's name with a righteous face.

"Since it's not, why do you have to worry about it? I'm here to help the Dongfang family to make suggestions, not to harm the Dongfang family. Even if I enter this meeting hall, your father will not take me if the merits and demerits are equal. How, isn't it?"

Zuo Yang smiled, and said in a persuasive manner, "What's more, this matter is urgent, the sooner the better, if I discuss it with your father first, your father hesitates, and then discuss it with the clansmen, Undoubtedly, more time will be wasted, on the contrary, it is better to directly disclose my countermeasures to the public, so that everyone can discuss it together happily, and avoid missing the best time."

He knows that this guy is not a rule-abiding master, nor is he the kind of master who is afraid of getting into trouble. After all, when Zhang Danling introduced this guy before, he said that he publicly opposed the family decision and was finally locked up by Dongfang City. Things... If people are afraid of things, how can they do such things?

Therefore, you only need to let this guy know that what you do is necessary, and this guy will definitely do things according to his own will.

really.

"What the elder brother said is not unreasonable..."

Dongfang Lingshao frowned and thought about it carefully, then slapped his palms heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "Today, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman, and bring my elder brother to this meeting hall. My father and the other clansmen have a look, I, Dongfang Lingshao, have grown up, not only can be alone, but also can solve the family's worries and problems!"

"Ambient, let's go?"

Zuo Yang said with a smile.

"Senior brother, please!"

When Dongfang Ling made an invitation, he took Zuo Yang out of the gate of Hongru Teahouse in a big stride.

……

This time Dongfang Ling Shao was leading the way, and the servants inside the door opened the door happily. Although they couldn't help but look at Zuo Yang a few more times, they didn't dare to ask anything, so they had to stand on both sides to let them go. .

So, the two bypassed the screen wall and walked through the courtyard of the Oriental Family.

Although the Oriental family has followed the ancient architectural style of the Chinese Dynasty and is full of ancient charm, the materials used in the construction are different from most houses. Here, many door frames, window frames and The load-bearing columns are all made of alloy metals of various materials that are unclear.

Therefore, in the ancient style and ancient rhyme, it is also very self-styled, and it will give people a feeling of being indestructible like a copper wall and iron wall at a glance.

In addition, just like the characters on the plaque outside the gate using various weapons twisted, many decorations in the courtyard also follow this style. If there are no people living here, there will be everywhere Zuo Yang really thought that what he had come to was a sword mound, not a residence.

In the blink of an eye, the two passed through three courtyards, and finally came to a courtyard similar to a garden.

There are flowers, grass, trees, and rocks here. Under the small arch bridge and pavilion built of wood, there are a large group of colorful koi swimming in the gurgling stream... This is probably the only one in the entire Oriental family. A place that is most in line with the aesthetics of normal people, and the least like a place like Jianzhong, right?

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!"

"Cough cough!"

When Zuo Yang was observing the environment, suddenly there were a few bird calls not far away, and at the same time there was the sound of a man coughing.

"?"

Zuo Yang followed the voice and looked over.

Under a weeping willow not far away, a hunched middle-aged man was slowly dangling with a birdcage in his hand. The bird in the cage was jumping up and down, and the middle-aged man was clenched into a fist. He kept coughing in front of his mouth, but his eyes kept staring at Zuo Yang, looking up and down, with a look of guard in his eyes.

"Second Uncle, my father is discussing important matters with the clansmen in the council hall right now, why don't you go and have a look?"

Dongfang Lingshao turned around and said to the middle-aged man quite politely.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The middle-aged man coughed twice, then waved his hands and smiled, "Second Uncle is like this bird in a cage now, eating well and drinking enough is the big deal, and everything else has nothing to do with Second Uncle, if you have something to do Do it quickly, so as not to startle the bird of Second Uncle, tsk tsk, tsk tsk."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man raised the cage a little higher, and stretched out a finger to tease the bird.

"Then I'll go first."

Dongfang Lingshao responded, and took Zuo Yang to continue walking along the path to the distance.

But just as he was about to leave the garden, the middle-aged man's pointed voice came from behind: "Ling'er, if you go further, you will arrive at the meeting hall. Child, but Second Uncle still wants to remind you, don't forget our family rules."

"Second uncle, I can save it."

Dongfang Lingshao looked back at the middle-aged man again, and nodded solemnly at him.

The middle-aged man was still looking at Zuo Yang, his black eyes seemed to see through him, but Zuo Yang was not afraid at all, and looked at him openly - whoever blinks is the grandson, dare you?

After such a moment.

"Just save it, let's go."

The middle-aged man waved his hand again, and lowered his head to tease his bird—he lost, hahaha!

"it is good."

Dongfang Lingshao smiled, and continued to walk in with Zuo Yang, and introduced Zuo Yang as he walked, "That was my second uncle just now, and he was also the second owner of our Dongfang family. Ren, he was weak and sick since he was a child, unable to practice martial arts, but he was good at reading poetry and books, and could recite them from memory."

"My second uncle and my father were very good back then, but it's a pity that in order to revitalize the Eastern family, my father insisted on choosing to join Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to help him ascend to the throne, while my second uncle always thought that Zhu Di was a rebellious and unscrupulous official. I firmly opposed my father's decision, and after the two had a big fight, they broke up completely and stopped talking."

"It was also from then on that although my second uncle promised never to leave the Dongfang family under my grandfather's will, he never cared about family affairs anymore."

"I see."

Zuo Yang nodded, and thought to himself, no wonder this guy is very lenient, but he insists on not going to the meeting hall to discuss big plans with the clansmen. It turns out that he has such a past.

between speeches.

"Senior brother, we are here."

Looking at a big lonely house in front of him, Dongfang Lingshao finally stopped. At the same time, he swallowed his saliva and took a few deep breaths, so that his chest kept heaving up and down. This guy was still a little nervous after all.

"Um……"

Zuo Yang also stood still and looked up.

Different from other courtyards of the Dongfang family, the courtyard where this house is located does not have any green vegetation, nor any decorations, and some are just flat stone slabs paved on the ground around it... Besides, this big house is also It is in the very center of the courtyard, keeping a certain distance from the four walls.

One advantage of this construction method is that there is no way to hide people in a radius of more than ten meters or even tens of meters around the house, so when discussing important matters, there is no need to worry about being overheard.

At this moment, there is a servant standing guard every few meters around the house, so that it is even more impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on the discussion inside.

"Going in."

Dongfang Lingshao looked back at Zuo Yang, saw that he was still indifferent, and subconsciously admired him again in his heart, thinking that when will I be able to be as calm as my elder brother in any situation, and then And said.

"Go."

Zuo Yang smiled and nodded.

"Okay, please."

Dongfang Ling Shao took another deep breath, finally made up his mind, and walked towards the meeting hall.

When he reached the entrance of the meeting hall, the servant at the entrance hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted him: "Young Master Ling."

"Ah."

Dongfang Lingshao responded, but stepped forward to push the door without looking sideways.

And behind him.

"Chong!"

The broadswords in the hands of the two servants were already in front of Zuo Yang's face, and then the two of them also looked alert, and shouted loudly: "The iron law of the Eastern family, non-members of my clan, are not allowed to enter the meeting hall, if you dare to go further Take a step forward, shoot and kill!"
