21 I took it
"Okay!" Chu Yi sat down.
Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down as well.
"What is the specific example of the Chu family's succession ceremony?" I asked Chu Xi.
"It's actually very simple, it's just a ceremony," she said, "Call the elders of each branch to the Chu family mansion. The successor asked the elders that he succeeded to the throne, but who would object? Ask three times in a row, if no one objected, then he would sit on the throne of the head of the family, beheld the sword of the clan, the seal of the head of the family, the Nine-Turn Life-Extension Pill and the Green Jade Soul Dragon, and officially become the head of the Chu family."
"Can Chu Huan succeed to the throne without the Green Jade Soul Dragon?" I asked.
"It's not possible in theory," she said, "That is why Chu Huan asked us to contact the elders of the Chu family who were outside, trying to convince them to handle the special matters. Because among the four tokens, the sword of the clan, the seal of the head of the family, and the Nine-Turn Life-Extension Pills are all in the hands of Chu Huan, and many elders of the Chu family support him now. As long as the Grandpa Chu Long in Shencheng does not object, there is still a high possibility that he will take over. As for the Qingyu Soul Dragon, he can wait until he gets over to the throne before continuing to look for the lady and take back the Qingyu Soul Dragon."
"In other words, the key now is the Grandpa Chu Long who is in Shencheng?" Ke'er asked.
"Yes," Chu Xi nodded, "Grandpa Chu Long is highly respected and has the highest seniority in the Chu family. Not only is he an elder, he has three children and grandchildren, but he is also an elder. When it comes to the matter of Qingyu Soul Dragon, as long as Grandpa Chu Long nods, the other elders will not say anything."
"Then why didn't he go to Shencheng by himself?" Ke'er was puzzled, "Isn't that more sincere?"
"He dared not," Chu Xi said, "The night before yesterday, Xie Qianshan led the lady to Shencheng to meet Grandpa Chu Long. As soon as he arrived there, he was chased by Chu Huan's people. After that, the lady disappeared. Grandpa Chu Long was furious when he found out, and called Chu Huan to denounce Chu Huan, saying that he was too much. Not only did he kill his brother and sister-in-law to seize the throne, but Linglong was not let go, and he wanted to kill him. Chu Huan asked me to go to Shencheng first, because he wanted me to tell Grandpa Chu Long that Linglong was still alive, and that night his man was killed, and it was not Linglong who died. He asked me to go to a front station first. After Grandpa Chu Long's anger was relieved, the couple went to Shencheng in person and talked to Grandpa Chu Long about the Green Jade Soul Dragon."
"Wait..." Ke'er interrupted her, "In other words, this great-grandfather Chu Long is angry, but he will not object to Chu Huan becoming the new head of the Chu family?"
"Yes!" Chu Xi nodded, "Because we are the demon clan, such things have happened in the Chu family many times, so except for the old master's confidants, other elders will not oppose Chu Huan."
"I'll go..." Ke'er looked at me, "I thought this great-grandfather Chu Long would be fair. After a long time of trouble, he would be the same..."
"Grandpa Chu Long just thinks that Linglong is still young and Chu Huan can seize the throne, so there is no need to kill everyone," Chu Xi said, "In principle, he still supports Chu Huan's rise to power. It's just that the Qingyu Soul Dragon is a treasure of the Chu family and one of the four tokens of the head of the family. The heads of the family have always received the ritual of the four treasures. Chu Huan wants to take the three treasures to rise to power, which is not in line with the rules. Grandpa Chu Long has a high generation and great prestige. If he stands up and supports it, then there is no reason for others to object."
I thought about it, "In other words, he is only one Grandpa Chu Long's support from successfully taking office?"
"It can be said that," Chu Xi said.
I looked at Chu Yi, "Then what can you three families do?"
"Most of the elders of the Chu family support Chu Huan. Even if our three families oppose it, they are still minorities and cannot change anything," Chu Yi said, "But we have people. We dare to fight with Chu Huan. We can be Linglong's personal soldiers and fight bloody battles for her when she returns to the Chu family mansion!"
"Chu Yi is right!" Chu Xi said, "When the old master was there, he secretly cultivated a group of elite soldiers and handed them over to the fifth uncle, sixth uncle and seventh uncle. The old master's intention was to prevent Linglong's aunt Chu Tao from causing trouble. This matter was carried out secretly. The Chu family knew this secret, except for the old master and his wife and three uncles, the only one was my father. But my father was careful and did not tell Chu Huan about this. My father asked me to meet the seventh uncle because he wanted the three uncles to gather these elite soldiers. With this group of people, Linglong could kill back to the Chu family's mansion. At that time, we can work together inside and outside and we can capture Chu Huan's power in one go!"
"Okay!" I looked at Chu Yi, "As long as there is a commando, the rest will be easy."
"Yeah!" Chu Yi nodded, "Don't worry about this. I will tell my father and two uncles later. Our three families will swear to be loyal to Linglong!"
"The problem now is that great grandfather Chu Long." Ke'er looked at me, "Young master, you have to find a way to hold that old man up. If the old guy nodded before Linglong came out of seclusion, then the raw rice was cooked and it would be difficult for us to turn the tables."
I pondered for a moment and asked Chu Xi, "Chu Long is so angry that Chu Huan dares not come, right?"
"Yes!" Chu Xi nodded, "Chu Huan told me that you must explain the misunderstanding to Chu Long's grandfather clearly. When the old man's anger is gone, he will notify him to come to Shencheng."
"Okay", I have an idea, "Then you'll delay in Shencheng for a few more days."
"How many more days?" Chu Xi was puzzled, "Young Master, why should I delay?"
"You go to Shencheng later and tell Chu Long that Linglong is still alive. That night, a mysterious figure rescued her." I said, "You also have to tell him that in order to kill Linglong, Chu Huan had lost six teams from the night before yesterday to this morning."
Chu Xi was very smart and understood in an instant.
"I understand the young master!" she said, "I will tell Grandpa Chu Long all this in its original form!"
I smiled knowingly, "That's right. After that, you have to urge him to give him a reply as soon as possible. The tighter you urge, the less the old man will not respond. As long as you hold him back for four days, Linglong will be able to get out of seclusion. At that time, Keer and I will take her to Shencheng."
"Okay!" Chu Xi said.
Ke'er looked at us in confusion, "Tell the old man and urge him to stop him? What's the reason?"
Chu Yi admired me so much that he clasped his fists at me, "Young Master is really smart! Chu Yi admired me so much! I am convinced!"
I smiled at him and looked at Keer, "Linglong is still alive, and Chu Huan's elite strength has been lost in just two days. What do you think Chu Long will do?"
Ke'er suddenly realized, "Oh...I understand!"
"Grandpa Chu Long still supports Linglong in his heart," Chu Xi said, "If it's just that Linglong is still alive, but his whereabouts are unknown, then he can only support Chu Huan; but if he knows that the power to support Linglong is so powerful that he can destroy half of Chu Huan's elite within two days, then he will wait patiently. He has to wait a moment to see the situation and then decide who to support in the end. So the young master asked me to urge him. The more I urge him, the more anxious Chu Huan is, and the more tight the other side is, the less he will be in a hurry to make a decision."
She looked at me admiringly, "Young Master is so smart!"
"That's right!" Chu Yi also said, "With the young master's assistance, Chu Huan will definitely be defeated!"
Keer looked at me and smiled proudly.
I was very calm and looked at them, "Then do it, Chu Xi, go to Shencheng; Chu Yi, go back and tell your father and your two uncles, gather the elites secretly and wait for Linglong's orders."
The two nodded together, "Okay!"
