Chapter 308: When the tree falls, the demons will appear
"Brother, what are you doing..."
Seeing Long Chuan treating Lu Yun so respectfully, Long Ji felt very depressed. He just opened his mouth when he heard Long Chuan shouting, "Shut up!"
Long Ji had no choice but to shut his mouth.
Lu Yun looked at Long Chuan deeply and said, "Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? Don't you blame me for killing your father?"
Long Chuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Lu was right. My father's life was already hanging by a thread, and he didn't have much time left. Mr. Lu has tried his best to save him, but he still can't be saved. Maybe this is fate, Mr. Lu can't blame me."
Hearing this, Long Ji and others felt even more depressed.
It was already this late, why was Big Brother still giving Lu Yun an excuse? Who knew if he had done his best to rescue him?
Long Chuan paused and continued, "Mr. Lu, may I ask where your master, Taoist Tian Xuanzi, is now?"
Longchuan is now fully awake.
Perhaps the opportunity that Taoist Tianxuanzi was talking about was not the fact that Lu Yun could cure the old man, but other opportunities.
How could Lu Yun not understand Long Chuan's thoughts, but he still ruthlessly poured cold water on him and said, "My master is traveling outside and will not come to the capital in the next two years."
This was of course made up by Lu Yun... Well, it can't be said to be completely made up, at least so far, that old pervert has indeed not shown up.
When Longchuan heard this, his face changed.
In two years, by then, it’s hard to imagine what the Long family has become.
Long Chuan was unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "Did the Taoist priest tell us anything about our Long family?"
Lu Yun pretended to think for a while and said, "No, even your father's illness was told to me by Long Yixue. I didn't know what opportunity my master had mentioned before. Maybe he just said it casually!"
Just a casual remark...
The muscles on Longchuan's face twitched noticeably.
Their Long family has been waiting for this opportunity, but now Lu Yun said that the so-called opportunity might just be something Tian Xuanzi said casually.
What a cruel blow this was to the Long family.
Is the road of relying on Taoist Tianxuanzi really blocked?
Longchuan felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Long Ji said: "Brother, I have long said that this person is unreliable, but you still naively believe him..."
"Shut up!"
Long Chuan shouted again, and then said: "Let's think of a solution first!"
The room fell silent.
After a while.
Long Ji said: "Brother, I actually have an idea."
In an instant, everyone turned their attention to him.
Long Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "In fact, we can find a backer like the Tan family did, for example, the White Dragon King. As far as I know, the White Dragon King has terminated the cooperation with the Tan family, so I think..."
There is no need to say more about what is to come, everyone understands.
Long Ji hopes that the Long family will seek support from the White Dragon King.
The faces of everyone in the Long family were gloomy, and it was obvious that they were not satisfied with Long Ji's proposal.
Long Chuan said in a low voice: "Second brother, have you forgotten how father became like this? The White Dragon King is the enemy of our Long family!"
Although the root cause of Long Quan's illness was the strange poison, the most direct inducing factor was the fight with the White Dragon King.
It was after that fight that he was seriously injured that Long Quan was unable to suppress the toxins in his body, causing his condition to become increasingly serious.
It is not without reason to say that the White Dragon King is the enemy of the Long family.
This is also the reason why everyone in the Long family cannot accept this proposal.
Long Ji said, "There are only eternal interests, not eternal enemies. The reason why the White Dragon King fought with my father before was because he stood on the side of the Tan family. Now that he has drawn a clear line with the Tan family, he is naturally no longer an enemy of our Long family."
Everyone was silent again.
This is the truth, but the fact is that the White Dragon King injured the old man.
When they think that the person worshipped by the Long family will be the indirect murderer of the old man, everyone in the Long family will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Long Chuan said: "Let's put this proposal aside for now. Does anyone else have any better suggestions?"
"Big brother."
This time, it was Long Ji's wife Fang Min who spoke up. She said, "I think we should start with Yixue. Do you still remember Lin Jian?
Lin Jian's father is a steward of the Beijing Wumeng. With the Wumeng as a background, the Lin family can stand firm. I think it would be better to marry Yixue to Lin Jian, so that we can also have the Wumeng as a backer. "
As soon as she said this, Long Yixue's mother immediately became unhappy and asked, "Why don't you just ask to marry your daughter to him?"
Fang Min sneered and said, "I do want to, but it's a pity that he likes Yixue, not my daughter, otherwise I would have persuaded my daughter to marry him a long time ago."
Long Ji's eyes lit up as well, and he said, "I think Fang Min's proposal is a good one. Since you don't want to ask the White Dragon King to come over as a backer, then we can only let Yi Xue make some sacrifices. This will be good for all of us."
Except for the Longchuan couple, the rest of the Long family looked at Long Yixiu with burning eyes.
Obviously.
They thought the proposal was feasible.
Long Yixue's pretty face turned cold, and she said, "I refuse. If Grandpa were still alive, he would never agree with what you are doing."
Long Yixiu now finally understood why her grandfather asked her not to tell anyone for the time being even though he had recovered from his illness. It turned out that when a big tree falls, all the monsters will really appear.
Long Ji said: "Yixue, you can't say that, we all know that the old man loves you the most, so he didn't agree to sacrifice your happiness in exchange for the stability of the Long family.
But today is different.
The old man has passed away due to illness. If we don’t find a backer in time, it’s hard to say what kind of situation we will encounter in the future.”
Fang Min added fuel to the fire and said, "Yes, Yixue, when the old man was alive, you were the one he loved the most. You should be more sensible now and find a chance to repay the old man.
Can you really bear to watch the foundation that the old man has worked so hard to build being eaten away by other families bit by bit?
Moreover.
Although Lin Jian is a little ugly, he has a wealthy family and likes you so much. You may not be unhappy if you marry him.
For the future of our Long family, please consider it as your aunt begging you, okay?"
