"If you are embarrassed to come forward directly, let Bai Yu contact him, and make friends with his peers naturally." Cui Yan was as meticulous as he could understand the difficulties of the people below.
"Father is worried too much," Cui Pingzhi said with a smile: "I have seen that boy. He is old and very interesting."
"Haha." Cui Sheng smiled and said, "You kid want to get the moon first when you get close to the water. Don't just eat alone. If you have time, invite him to visit your home and let your brothers and nephews make friends with that half-step innate high school."
When the senior officials of Cui Qi laughed at the sound, they all said that what the Great Elder said was very true.
"I'm the one who listens to my uncle." Cui Pingzhi smiled bitterly. He really had the idea of ​​going through Lu Yun to see if he could get in touch with Lu Xian. After all, he was trapped in the ground level for many years. If he could advance to the Grand Master, the position of the lord would be in his pocket...
In contrast to the kind Cui family, the atmosphere in the Lingyun Hall of Xiahou family was solemn.
Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Li, military advisor Zhu Xiuyi, chief instructor Moro, Xiahou Buwushu, Xiahou Buli, Xiahou Bumi, Xiahou Bumi and other core figures gathered in the hall.
Eighteen burly and majestic Xiahou warriors wearing black armor stood solemnly on the left and right holding sandalwood sticks.
Xiahou Bubai, who is usually domineering and arrogant, is wearing a single dress and kneeling straight in the hall.
"Xiahou Bubai, do you know that he is guilty?" Xiahou Ba looked at his second son coldly, and anyone could hear that his cold tone contained a volcanic anger.
"The child knows the crime." Xiahou Bubai lowered his head and said sadly: "This time the success is all caused by the child's failure to observe first and timidity later."
"Is it so simple to fail?!" Xiahou Ba shouted sternly: "You have almost destroyed the connections that I have been operating for many years! You have put my Xiahou Valve under the verbal criticism, and you have to postpone the plan of my Xiahou Valve!"
"Yes..." Xiahou Bubai's face turned pale, and every word from the lord was like a heavy hammer hitting him in his heart, making him frightened and almost suffocated.
"Since you know your guilt, then you will be punished!" Xiahou Ba shouted in a deep voice.
"Stop the lord." Zhu Xiuyi suddenly stepped out of the line and knelt alongside Xiahou Bubai and said, "This matter is planned by his subordinates, and the consequences should be fully responsible!"
"Mr. Zhu doesn't have to do this." Xiahou Ba was harsh and ruthless to his children, but he always respected his aides like Zhu Xiuyi. "The ten grandmasters entered the trap to show that you have planned well, and you were not on the spot when the specific implementation was implemented, so it has nothing to do with you."
"Shame." Zhu Xiuyi shook his head and said, "There are three crimes of subordinates. I didn't expect that Zhou and Huan would take advantage of the situation. The second is the plan. I didn't make the plan perfect and someone took advantage of the loopholes." After a pause, he said with a serious expression: "And such an important thing may have been investigated in advance. The third is the situation of subordinates."
As he said that, Zhu Xiuyi turned to look at Xiahou Bubai and said, "No one could have thought that those people could escape from the underground river, so the second master did not stay in the underground palace, which was really irreproachable. Moreover, the second master's remedy afterwards had already dispelled considerable doubts from the various lords, so at least he could make the merits. The lord of the lords would punish his subordinates heavily and blame the second master lightly."
"..." Xiahou Bubai looked at Zhu Xiuyi gratefully, and his resentment towards him immediately disappeared.
"Military advisor, there is no joke in Lingyun Hall. Since you said that, I have to reluctantly order you to blame you." Xiahou Ba looked at Zhu Xiuyi with a look of helplessness and sighed: "It's all evil sons who are incompetent and harm the miserable general." As he said that, he glared at Xiahou Bubai and said: "Since the military advisor shares the burden for you, then reduce it to two hundred sticks."
"Thank you, father, thank you, military advisor." Xiahou Bubai breathed a sigh of relief. Although the two hundred staffs were terrifying, he could have beaten him with a thousand staffs before, and he could not use his true energy to resist. Even if he was a great master, he would have to be beaten into meat sauce.
Only Xiahou Bupo laughed in his heart. In fact, the old man wanted to beat Xiahou for two hundred sticks. The reason for being artificial first was to make Zhu Xiuyi take the initiative to take the blame... This matter is indeed very difficult. It is difficult to convince the public without punishing Zhu Xiuyi, but Zhu Xiuyi has a special status and has made great contributions. The Xiahou family can achieve this today entirely due to his strong initiative to launch the Baoen Temple Incident ten years ago.
Therefore, Xiahou Ba has always treated him half a teacher and half a friend. If he takes the initiative to fight and punish him, he will inevitably feel cold in the heart of this Zhiduoxing... The Xiahou Valve will have a long way to go in the future, and he will have to rely more on his wisdom. He must not be disinterested at this time.
As a result, Xiahou Ba made this move to lure the snake out of the hole, so that Zhu Xiuyi would not be hurt. Moreover, it would be well-known in the Xiahou family, so he would naturally be willing to stand up and be beaten without any sequelae afterwards.
The old man's power has reached the point of perfection and great sound... Xiahou did not overcome the worries that had risen in recent days, and he believed that the master of the lord was there, and the Xiahou's lord had no obstacle that could not be overcome!
The fire swayed, and the hard sandalwood sticks as hard as iron kept swinging and falling, and each time it made a trembling muffled sound. It was the sound of the wooden stick hitting Zhu Xiuyi and Xiahou Bubai.
This is a scene that cannot be seen anywhere in the world. The great master of the heavenly rank is always high and lawless everywhere. In the Lingyun Hall of the Xiahou Far, he has to be punished obediently. He lets the heavy wooden sticks slam the body with a humiliating force...
Xiahou Bubai did not dare to mobilize a trace of true energy at all. Every shot of the stick made him feel the long-lost pain. At first, he could be as if nothing had happened, but later he could only rely on maintaining the dignity of the Grand Master in one breath, struggling to hold on without moving, without saying a word...
The beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down, making his whole body wet. His buttocks were already bloody and bloody. Xiahou Bubai had no idea of ​​resisting at all, and he just silently endured the punishment given by the valve.
Because "repayment of debts" is the iron law of the Xiahou clan, which is not only effective externally, but also cannot be violated by everyone. For the Xiahou clan children, family law is like a mountain, which is a belief engraved into their bones. No matter what your identity is or how much credit you have, you must be punished for mistakes. This is why the Xiahou clan is so powerful that it is suffocating.
Of course, it is also because there are too many great masters in the Xiahou family. If only Xiahou Bubai is the only one, see who dares to touch his finger?
In fact, Xiahou Ba was unwilling to torture Zhu Xiuyi and Xiahou Bubai before he had no choice, but the trouble this time was too great!
The situation was already very clear, and the Xiahou clan and its allies had an absolute advantage. As long as they tried to keep Tianshidao out of the matter, they could show up with the Initial Emperor at any time. But this time, the action was originally intended to further weaken the strength of the royal family and other sects and further establish the invincible image of the Xiahou clan that is not challenging, but everything changed...
