Ning Guangyao sucked in a breath of cold air and nodded, "Understood, Guangyao understands."
"It's good that you understand. Of course, I don't want to give up on you, but if you don't have any children, you won't be able to continue leading the Ning clan in the secular world. It's better to find someone to replace you as soon as possible. So … you better hurry up." The man patted Ning Guangyao's shoulder with his fan.
"The Fourth, you have to put in a good word for me in front of the Patriarch. Guangyao has been racking his brains ever since he took over the position of Patriarch from his father. He has done many things for the family over the years!"
The man waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm just saying. After all, you haven't seen him yet. What if you find him tomorrow? Isn't that right? "
"Yes …" Ning Guangyao wiped his sweat again.
"However …" The man changed the topic, "If your son Guodong really can't be saved and can't have children, then it means the same ending. So, I can only say this much. You have to take care of yourself. "
Deep fear flashed in Ning Guangyao's eyes, but he could only nod silently.
The man didn't continue this topic. After a moment of silence, he said, "I heard … The Yang Family is in trouble?"
Ning Guangyao heaved a sigh of relief and forced a smile, "That's right, Yang Gongming's background has been doubted by the outside world. Back then, there were indeed similar rumors, but after all, Old Marshal Yang Ye was a person of virtue and prestige, so it disappeared without a trace. Who would have thought that after so many years, when the old people were almost all dead, there would be their descendants who would restore the truth. "
"How credible do you think this is?"
"Guangyao thinks that this matter is definitely true. However, according to the time of Yang Gongming's birth, it shouldn't be the information on the internet. His mother was seized by the invading army.
After all, it should have been during the civil war in Hua Xia. I'm afraid it was done by opposing warlords. After those people described Yang Gongming as a Wokou pirate, it was probably just to stir up the public's disgust. "
"It doesn't matter if he's from Hua Xia or from another country. As long as he's not from Yang Ye, there's nothing to say about the Yang Family." The man stared at Ning Guangyao evilly. "You haven't told me why you're so sure."
Ning Guangyao smiled and said, "This matter … can be guessed from the cripple I took in previously."
"Cripple?" The man was confused.
Ning Guangyao immediately told him about Wen Tao. "This Wen Tao disappeared after the incident with Yan Buwen. He had met the descendants of the Xue family in Zhonghai, and the Xue family was the descendants of Yang Ye's personal guards.
He kept saying that he knew a secret that could destroy the Yang Family, but he didn't tell me in order to save his life. I guessed that it might be Yang Gongming's past, but I didn't show it.
Now that he suddenly disappeared and the Yang Family is in trouble, it's most likely related to him. "
The man's eyes lit up. "You did well. You didn't do anything and let them fight while we reap the benefits!"
"That's what Guangyao thinks."
"Mmm … this is a good thing. It's worth using him for the benefit of our Ning family. This military power … has been in the hands of the Yang Family for a long time," the man mumbled.
Ning Guangyao nodded, "Guangyao knows what to do. The Fourth, don't worry."
The man turned his fan and said, "The Yang Family has a kid called Yang Cheng. I heard that his cultivation is not ordinary. According to the rules, cultivators above the Soul Formation stage can leave Hongmeng's system. Therefore, Hongmeng most likely won't care about him. Be careful."
Ning Guangyao's expression was somewhat complicated, "The Fourth, Yang Cheng defeated Yan Buwen by himself. His strength seems to be extremely terrifying. This … Is it really okay to let him go on like this? "
The man coldly snorted, "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how strong he is, he's just a kid in his twenties. It's already heaven-defying for him to reach the early stage of Tribulation Transcendence! How could the old monsters of Hongmeng's Heaven Stage be pushovers? What's more, our ancient family's cultivation techniques are mysterious, there are many magic treasures, and there are many experts. No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than my third sister and big brother? "
Ning Guangyao nodded, and his expression became slightly calmer, "The Fourth is right. This time, even if the Yang Family has Yang Cheng, they will definitely suffer a great loss. Even if we don't do anything, they will probably lose their military power. At that time, the Yang Family members in the Beijing, Jiangnan, and Northwest military regions will all be removed. This way, our Ning Family will be able to rise to a higher level, and the Yang Family will also be removed from the ranks of the four major families. "
"You don't have to tell me about this in detail. Just do as you see fit." The man waved his hand, "The situation now is different. According to big brother's instructions, I will send two Soul Formation stage disciples to protect you. As for the rest, it will depend on your own luck."
"Thank you, The Fourth!"
… ….
The warm autumn sun enveloped the city of Yan Jing. In this dry season, people felt sleepy early in the morning.
In the hustle and bustle of the city, people went about their daily lives, but this morning was different from usual.
Almost all the streets and alleys, from the dignitaries to the rich and powerful families, to the common people, were all discussing the explosive news of the Yang Family in public or in private!
As one of the important representatives of Hua Xia's army for decades, and the previous chairman of Hua Xia, who often appeared on television, was the only old man with the rank of marshal.
Yang Gongming was actually born after his mother was defiled?! And Marshal Yang Ye was actually infertile!?
If this was in a TV series, it could be seen as "heroes don't care about their origins". But in reality, when someone suddenly told you that the person that everyone respected and loved was actually a "bastard", or even a child left behind by an invader, it was definitely something that most people couldn't accept!
In this ancient country, most of the time, the illusory bloodline was more important than the reality that they could see with their own eyes.
Moreover, the impact of this news had already spread to the entire world.
What made the public and the international media curious was that Hua Xia's government didn't respond, and neither did the major families.
As for the Yang Family and Yang Gongming himself, they didn't respond at all.
Even if this matter had become an arrow that had left the bow, there was no turning back.
The entire world was waiting for an answer from Yang Gongming, or rather, an acknowledgment and explanation.
At the same time, in the main hall of the Yang Family's mansion.
Yang Gongming wore a plain Chinese tunic suit and sat on the main seat, his expression calm.
Yan Sanniang's eyes were filled with sadness as she stood quietly beside the old man.
On the two sides of the table, there were more than ten representatives of the various branches of the Yang Family. Most of them were white-haired elders.
The only one who was relatively younger was Yang Pojun, who had just rushed back from the military hospital. His injuries hadn't fully recovered, and his hand was wrapped in bandages!
The injuries on Yang Pojun's face seemed to have recovered, but his expression was gloomy. It seemed like the shadow in his heart was still hard to erase.
However, with such a huge incident happening in the Yang Family, no matter how much he didn't want to see his father, he had to rush back to find out the truth.
"Gongming, everyone is waiting for you to give us an answer. Is it true or not?" asked an old man.
Everyone's gaze was focused on Yang Gongming.
Yang Gongming closed his eyes and sighed deeply, but he didn't answer immediately.
Yang Pojun couldn't help but say, "Third Uncle, are you really going to believe it? How can my father not be grandpa's biological son? If he's not the blood of the Yang Family, why would grandpa give such an important position to my father?
Also, have you all forgotten what my father has done for Hua Xia all these years?! "
No matter how cruel he was to himself, his father was still his father. Yang Pojun couldn't accept that Yang Gongming was being questioned by everyone in the family.
"Pojun, don't misunderstand. We're all from the Yang Family and we naturally wish for the best for the Yang Family," another elder said, "However, during the war, your grandfather was leading the troops and your grandmother was in the rear. The Yang Family was scattered all over the place and no one knew what happened. Your father was born in the midst of the war and the elders of the branch families weren't sure either.
In fact, more than forty years ago, there were some rumors in Beijing, but they disappeared because there wasn't any evidence. But now, with so many documents and information, we can't help but be suspicious! If the head of the Yang Family isn't a descendant of the Yang Family, wouldn't we be the joke of the world!? "
Yang Pojun's face turned red and white, and he couldn't help but turn to look at his father.
"Dad, say something! There's already a huge commotion outside. If this goes on, our Yang Family will completely fall! "
Yang Gongming opened his eyes and slowly glanced at the people in the room. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"I thought that I would bring this story to the grave for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that there would still be a day when the clouds and fog would be lifted."
As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked!
"This … Gongming! You mean, all of this is true!? "
"How is that possible! If uncle knew that you weren't his biological son, how could he have raised you and given you the position of the head of the family!? "
Yang Pojun was dumbfounded, and his face turned pale as he slumped on the chair, as if he had lost his soul …
