Ye Xiao 'an was dead. Tian Jiaxin didn't know what kind of person Ye Xiao' an was, but he didn't care. In his heart, this person was no different from a cat or dog, but this cat or dog had a brother named Ye Xiaotian, which was unusual.
There was no one in Guiyang who didn't know that Ye Xiaotian had turned the world upside down because of one person … No one could remember his name, but his surname seemed to be Mao. Just because that person was Ye Xiaotian's sworn brother, Ye Xiaotian turned the world upside down.
With the identity of a newly promoted small chieftain, he brazenly declared war against the Zhan and Cao chieftain clans that had been passed down for hundreds of years. He didn't hesitate to cut off their heads and end their lives, using the blood of his enemies as a sacrifice to the soul of his sworn brother in heaven. This time, it was his own brother who died. What would Ye Xiaotian do this time?
"Fourteenth Brother, come with me!"
Tian Jiaxin was watching Ye Xiaotian's back as he left, his heart beating fast. Tian Miaowen called out to him and walked toward the Tian Clan's eldest branch's mansion. When Tian Jiaxin turned around and saw her, he was shocked at first, then delighted. Tian Miaowen wanted to bring him into the mansion, so there was no need to say what her motive was. Most likely … she wanted to pass the inheritance to him.
Tian Jiaxin hurried a few steps and caught up with Tian Miaowen. He said respectfully, "Son-in-law's brotherly love is deep, but … the cause of the incident was just some ruffians causing trouble. When he killed Ye Tushe, he didn't know his true identity. With your power, if you want to avenge your brother, killing a few ruffians is just a matter of a word. The Tian family can't live without Miss for a while … "
Tian Miaowen stepped on the yellow leaves on the ground. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and her voice drifted away. "Fourteenth Brother, when you haven't stabilized yourself, I'm the one who can't leave the most, but when it's time for you to ascend to the position of patriarch …"
Tian Miaowen stopped slowly and turned around. Her clear, bright eyes were fixed on Tian Jiaxin. "I'm the one who should leave the most, isn't that right?"
Tian Miaowen's eyes were like a bottomless spring, reflecting one's heart. Tian Jiaxin only felt like everything he was thinking could not hide from Tian Miaowen's gaze. He immediately blushed and slowly lowered his head.
Tian Miaowen smiled. She could not be bothered to expose his true thoughts. She turned around and continued towards the study. "Today, I'll pass the legacy of the Tian family to you. You need to completely familiarize yourself with it in three days. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Three days later, I'll be returning to the Crouching Ox Ridge!"
Tian Miaowen pushed open the door gently and walked in. She said with some worry, "Even if Little Tian has already become a buddha, he'll still lose his mind once his reverse scale is touched. I need to watch over him. The higher his status is, the more he can't tolerate mistakes! "
This time, Tian Jiaxin said nothing more. He only lowered his head politely and said, "Yes!"
As he lowered his head, he saw the ancient table that Tian Binfei always used. When he saw the table, he immediately became stunned. There was a pile of wood that had been sawed into various shapes on the table. Tian Jiaxin did not understand why a pile like that would appear on the first young master's table. It seemed like … a pile of building blocks?
Tian Miaowen sat down behind the table and said to Tian Jiaxin, "Sit!"
Tian Jiaxin saw a cushion on the other side of the table, so he knelt down and sat down. He knew that the first young lady was about to pass the legacy of the Tian family to him. Although he had already known that this day would come, his breathing still sped up uncontrollably as his blood boiled.
Tian Miaowen said slowly, "Brother Fourteen, have you played with the Lu Ban Lock before?"
"Huh?" Tian Jiaxin was rather dumbfounded.
Tian Miaowen smiled and picked up two pieces of wood. "This thing is similar to the Lu Ban Lock. I'll teach you how to assemble it first. There's a certain sequence to dismantle and install it. Follow this sequence and don't miss a single step. Only then will you be able to complete it …"
Tian Jiaxin watched as Tian Miaowen skillfully assembled the two pieces of wood through the mortise and tenon structure. His lips twitched uncontrollably, "Could it be that the legacy of our Tian family is … carpentry?"
…
"There is a certain order to the whole thing. According to this order, every step must be correct in order to be flawless. One wrong step and the whole game will be lost …"
The person who spoke was not Tian Miaowen who was teaching Tian Jiaxin how to assemble the Lu Ban Lock. Instead, it was Tian Feifei, the former head of the Tian family who everyone thought was dead and the number one think tank of the Third Madam of Bozhou.
"The most important step is the 'exchange'. How to exchange quietly and without revealing any flaws is related to the success or failure of the whole situation! Are all of you ready? "
The person standing in front of Tian Binfei was wearing two pieces of clothing. His sleeves and trousers were rolled up and his feet were bare. His toes were spread out habitually and firmly gripped the ground. There was a faint trace of water rust on his face. It was obvious that he was someone who lived on the water all year round.
"Sir, don't worry. We have practiced more than a hundred times on the river. We can repeat every step with our eyes closed. All of our brothers are as good as dragons in the water!" This person was called Bai Wenzhou. His public identity was the captain of the largest shipping company on the Wu River. However, in reality, he was one of the spies that Yang Yinglong had arranged here for many years.
This time, in order to complete the "Stealing the Sun" plan, Yang Yinglong had used a large number of hidden forces and handed them over to Tian Xiufeng and Tian Binfei unreservedly, allowing them to control them. As long as this plan could be completed, even if all these hidden forces were destroyed, it would still be very profitable for Yang Tianwang.
Tian Binfei nodded and turned to the other person. "It will not be easy to replace Ye Xiaotian without anyone knowing. His identity is different now. Wherever he goes, there will be people crowding around him. It's impossible to do this without making proper arrangements. Therefore, we have to make Ye Xiaotian follow the route we've set for him. You must not make any mistakes on your side. "
This person was tall and sturdy and wore a robe. Judging from his bearing, he should be someone from the bureaucracy. However, it was unknown whether he was from Bozhou or from the Song family on the other side of the river. Bozhou and the river were intertwined with each other. For hundreds of years, the border between the two tribes had been under each other's control. In order to survive, some of the local small tribes would submit to whoever came to them. It was common for them to change from Qin to Chu.
"Sir, don't worry!" When this person spoke, his voice was hoarse, like two iron plates rubbing against sand. It seemed that his vocal cords had been injured. "There will not be a single mistake in the area I am responsible for!"
"Very good! If there is a mistake, I will see you with your head! "
Tian Binfei's gaze was like a knife. He stared at him coldly, causing his heart to tremble. He was also a person who dominated a region, but when he was stared at by Tian Binfei like this, fear involuntarily rose in his heart. They did not know whether this Tian was Mister Tian, but they all knew that Mister Tian was the key person sent by the Heavenly King to preside over this matter. The power of life and death was in his hands. How could they dare to be negligent?
At this time, Tian Xiufeng leisurely walked in. The people in the room bowed together. "Third Madam!"
Tian Xiufeng nodded slightly and sat beside Tian Binfei. "Is everything ready?"
Everyone said in unison, "Yes!"
Tian Xiufeng said in a low voice, "Good! All of you go prepare yourselves. Only the few of you are allowed to know the secret. If anyone leaks the slightest bit of information, whether intentionally or unintentionally, I will kill your entire family! "
Everyone obeyed. After everyone left, Tian Binfei said, "How is Ye Xiao 'an?"
Tian Xiufeng said sweetly, "What else can he do? When he took the first step, he was destined to be unable to turn back."
Tian Binfei said in a low voice, "Just being unable to turn back is not enough. He must be determined to cooperate fully. Although he is a blood brother, it is not easy to impersonate him. If his mind is not strong enough, it is easier to give himself away. "
Tian Xiufeng said, "I understand. I have been constantly instilling it into him along the way. He has always desired power and was unwilling to give it up. Once the heart demon takes root in his heart, he will metamorphose faster than you and I can imagine!"
Tian Xiufeng's enchanting eyes narrowed slightly. She was as charming as a Persian cat. "You've been a proud son of heaven since you were young. You don't understand how a person will change when he suddenly realizes that he can control more, that he can obtain everything that he can only dream of …"
Tian Xiufeng's voice became softer and softer. In the end, it was like a faint murmur, as if she was reminiscing. Perhaps she was not only talking about Ye Xiao 'an, but also her own feelings.
Once upon a time, she was just an innocent girl who only wanted to pursue a love that moved her heart. When she inadvertently became the wife of Bozhou's Yang Tianwang, her ambition was only to make her family more stable in Bozhou. When she became Yang Yinglong's most trusted and beloved woman, her ambition also continued to expand and change …
It was precisely because she had such an experience that she was certain that even if Ye Xiao 'an was still a little hesitant, when he took over Ye Xiaotian's power, status, and reputation as Ye Xiaotian, he would definitely be lost in it and be unable to extricate himself. At that time, there was no need for her to whip him. In order to firmly grasp everything in his hands, Ye Xiao 'an would also wholeheartedly become Bozhou's puppet.
After listening to Tian Xiufeng's words, Tian Binfei was silent for a long time. He slowly said, "I didn't understand what you said at first, but now, I understand a little. Don't forget, what you have changed is only your identity and status, but I … have changed more thoroughly than you. I understand … how it feels to disappear from the world and become another person. "
Tian Xiufeng said charmingly, "You must feel very bad."
Tian Binfei said coldly, "Very unpleasant!"
Tian Xiufeng raised her eyebrows and said softly, "But Ye Xiao 'an is different. You have become like this and lost a lot, but Ye Xiao' an has obtained, obtained everything that he could not have wished for in his life with his original identity."
Tian Binfei slowly closed his eyes and chewed on this sentence, as if he wanted to put himself in Ye Xiao 'an's situation. After a long time, he slowly said, "It will also not be pleasant!"
Tian Xiufeng let out a sigh and chuckled, "That's you, not him! What is Ye Xiao 'an? How can a piece of unbearably vulgar mud be mentioned in the same breath as a noble young master like you? "
Tian Binfei said indifferently, "I hope so! It's time for you to leave. What happens next cannot involve the Yang family. "
"I am a member of the Tian family!" Tian Xiufeng retorted. She let out a tender laugh and her expression gradually became solemn. "Success or failure, it all depends on this one move. Young Master, please!"
Tian Binfei's expression also became serious, "I will do my best!"
