The small wooden house on the hillside was dimly lit and silent.
It was like a shrine on a desolate mountain, with a god no one visited inside, not caring whether there was incense or whether the world was at peace.
It was just there, but had been almost forgotten for the past ten years.
But starting tonight, perhaps many people would recall what kind of role the old man sitting there really played.
The one who could stand out in Shadow Succession, and defeat all Shadows to come to this position, was indeed the most ruthless existence in this world.
In Qing Chen's eyes, this Head of the Qingshi Clan should be a shrewd and calculating person, valuing the family's interests above life.
He regarded the Head of the Qingshi Clan as the "Emperor" in storybooks, and emperors were always ruthless.
At one point, he even suspected that the Head of the Qingshi Clan had killed Ning Xiu in order to make his son willingly become a Shadow.
But now Qing Chen didn't think so, simply because everything the Head of the Qingshi Clan had done was prepared for avenging Qing Huai.
This old man, in order to avenge his beloved eldest son, was willing to drag the entire Qing Family into the abyss!This didn't seem like a decision made by the head of a family, but rather like a simple and hardworking commoner father, ready to spill blood for his son within five steps.
Qing Chen felt somewhat unaccustomed. He originally thought that when the Head of the Qingshi Clan was the only family left in this world, the so-called family affection was already in name only.
But what he didn't expect was that the reality was not like this.
Qing Chen turned to look at Qing Ji, only to see him smiling in the dim light, as if he had expected Qing Chen to react this way.
"Don't you care about the Qing Family's interests?" Qing Chen asked.
"You think I'm too capricious and want to destroy the Qing Family? No," the Head of the Qingshi Clan said slowly, "This behemoth has decayed after a thousand years. Historically, even dynasties haven't stood for a thousand years, so how can a family stand for a thousand years without incident? The people of the past lie on their laurels, and it's difficult for newcomers to rise to the top. Everyone guards their own small plot of land and indulges in wishful thinking. This kind of Qing Family is better off gone."
The Head of the Qingshi Clan recalled, "What was the Qing Family like in the past? Ancestor Qing Zhen believed that the family at that time had decayed, so he stormed Ginkgo Mountain and overthrew the Qing Family at that time. In the decisive battle with the artificial intelligence "Ling', everyone relied on the belief of "achieving success without necessarily being on the front lines," and died one after another, just to fight for a future for the living.
The Qing Family should have been synonymous with courage and boldness. We have never lacked the courage to start over. This is the Qing Family,
It's truly admirable."
The Head of the Qingshi Clan continued, "Xiao Huai first gave you the Secret Spy Agency, and then the Shadow troops. Tonight, I will give you the Qing Family's front-line troops, and all the project companies. Wherever you are in the future, that is where the Qing Family will be."
Qing Chen listened silently, only feeling that the other party's preparations were… really thorough.
This father was afraid that he had no experience, so he even left nine experience packages in the field of management, directly turning him, a management novice, into a max-level character.
The other party had almost exhausted his mind for this day.
However, Qing Chen's expression didn't change much. He calmly asked, "And then? What other arrangements do you have?
The Head of the Qingshi Clan said indifferently, "It depends on whether tonight's plan goes smoothly. You don't have to worry about your steps being hindered here. I've chosen Qing Yu for you at the front line. He is an isolated minister, doesn't form cliques, doesn't seek personal gain, and has no support. He is wholeheartedly for the family's interests. If one day you are not satisfied with him, just remove him. He has no ability to resist. Tonight, he will arrest some people overnight, including the commander of the infantry division, the commander of the air force division, the commander of the rocket army, and the brigade commander of the information force. After you plunder their memories, you will naturally be familiar with the army, and Qing Yu will not be able to deceive you. In the rear, there is Qing Kun. Although he has a violent temper, he is a good hand at managing internal affairs and a genius in business."
The Head of the Qingshi Clan said, "You only need to promise him Qing Yi's future, and he won't betray you, nor will he have the intention to betray you. If you want to be a Knight, just do it. No one will hold you back. By the way, that Li Kerou is a very good secretary for you. Cultivate your relationship well,
she will be the most suitable person to stay by your side and assist you."
Qing Chen asked, "So you have arranged everything, but never asked me if I want all this? Have you ever asked me what arrangements I have?"
"What, you don't want it?" The Head of the Qingshi Clan's tone was not surprised, as if he had expected it long ago: "Staying in the Outer World for a long time will make you somewhat compassionate. I can understand. But since you have returned, you must learn how to get along with this world. It is more vicious than you think."
At this time, Qing Chen suddenly shook his head: "You have arranged everything. If I refuse at this time, wouldn't it seem a little too pretentious? This huge Qing Family, others can't even ask for it. What reason do I have to refuse? To become the Head of Conglomerate is a good thing!"
"Hmm?"
This time, it was the Head of the Qingshi Clan who was puzzled. This was different from what he had envisioned.
He deliberately let City 10 fall into suffering and stood by, just to give Qing Chen a reason to return to the family.
He had made so many efforts, and what he was most worried about was that Qing Chen would not be willing to come back and take over all of this.
However, Qing Chen was not so pretentious, but accepted it calmly.
This made the Head of the Qingshi Clan's previous actions seem a bit redundant.
However, Qing Chen also had his own ideas: "You have your arrangements, but I also have my arrangements. You have arranged Qing Kun and Qing Yu, which makes it easier for me to be a hands-off manager. But I don't have any trust base with them, so I want to choose the candidates I'm satisfied with."
"Oh?" The Head of the Qingshi Clan asked: "As far as I know, there is no one in the Guardians' Union who can be competent for these two positions. They may have talent, but governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Operating the Qing Family's huge machine requires experience."
Qing Chen shook his head: "The person I choose is not from the Guardians' Union." As soon as the words fell, Qing Chen's figure flashed quickly in the house, and even the moonlight shining in from outside seemed to be cut into pieces by his figure.
Qing Ji was shocked, and was about to stop Qing Chen from approaching the Head of the Qingshi Clan, but after thinking about it, he stopped.
What does the matter between their father and son have to do with him?
In an instant, Qing Chen had already come behind the Head of the Qingshi Clan, and forcibly injected the Knight True Qi from his body into the other party's head!
Qing Ji and the old man were both stunned!
The old man only felt a stream of hot warmth flowing in from the top of his head, wandering through his limbs and bones.
Organs that were like decaying wood began to regain their vitality!
Even the sound of his heartbeat was no longer so weak.
Qing Ji stared blankly at this scene. In his heart, the Head of the Qingshi Clan was the supreme existence, but at this time, Qing Chen was forcibly empowering him without any ability to resist.
This scene subverted his understanding too much. How dare Qing Chen do this?!
After a few minutes, Qing Chen slowly withdrew his palm and said expressionlessly: "You made so many arrangements, but you didn't ask me if I agreed. Since I am the future Head of the Qingshi Clan, I don't need to ask anyone for permission to make any decisions,
we're even. I'm not very satisfied with Qing Kun and Qing Yu that you arranged. If I want to be a hands-off manager in peace,
I think it's better for you to manage this Qing Family, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
The old man was silent for a few seconds: "How dare you?"
Qing Chen replied coldly: "I will be the Chairman of the Board of Directors tomorrow. Don't I even have the power to arrange family affairs? Or is this position of Chairman of the Board of Directors fake and actually useless? Is there any problem with a Chairman of the Board of Directors asking you, a family member, to continue working? There is no problem."
The old man was completely silenced by Qing Chen.
Qing Chen continued: "Considering the interests of the family, who is more suitable to continue managing the family than you? Anyway, you won't harm me, but Qing Kun and Qing Yu are not so sure. Li Xiurui Old Master no longer yearns for this world, and my brother is bound by the rules, and his lifespan is only so much, so they can't extend their lives. But you are different,
you clearly can't let go of this Qing Family. So, don't think about the matter of liberation, and work for my Qing Family in peace. The Huai Ti Fa empowerment will increase your life by 21 years. In these remaining 21 years, please continue to work hard for this family until your death."
Qing Chen said these words coldly, making Qing Ji feel extremely strange.
The heirs of Shendai and Koshima are hoping that their old men will die quickly, so that the younger generation can have a chance to rise to the top.
But here at the Qing Family, Qing Chen actually took the initiative to extend his crown prince's term by 21 years?
Moreover, under the impetus of Knight True Qi, the hard-hearted Head of the Qingshi Clan was in tears. Qing Ji could see from the side that his tears were falling drop by drop and could not be stopped at all.
At a certain moment, Qing Ji understood: Qing Chen was angry that the Head of the Qingshi Clan had arranged everything without asking his opinion, so he deliberately made such a scene, just to see the embarrassed appearance of this Head of the Qingshi Clan who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
As a father, you want to contribute in your own way and fulfill your responsibility as a father, of course, there is no problem.
But I am not someone who accepts manipulation easily, and the script will not be played as you arranged!
Want to entrust everything and then leave the world? Dream on.
Qing Ji smacked his lips on the side… The father and son are playing big!
He tried to imagine what would happen if Qing Wu dared to do this, he would probably be beaten to the point of crying and holding his head in pain.
At this moment, Qing Chen continued: "I will cooperate with the rest of the show, but don't think about retiring,
there is no such easy thing."
Saying that, he turned and walked out: "I only understand what kind of person you are today, but you should also understand what kind of person I am today. We have a long time to get along, and everyone will slowly get to know each other."
As soon as the words fell, Qing Chen's figure had already gone down the mountain.
The room was quiet, but the old man wiped his tears and suddenly laughed: "As expected of my son, amazing."
Qing Ji hadn't seen the Old Master laugh for a long time. "Why didn't you stop him just now?" Old Master looked at Qing Ji and asked.
Qing Ji's eyes glanced at the crossbeam on the roof of the small wooden house: "He is a Knight, how can I stop him?"
"It's the first time I've seen you admit that you are inferior in combat, rare," the old man sighed: "Now it's good, I have to work for another 21 years."
Qing Ji also suddenly laughed: "Isn't this a good thing?"
The old man looked at his gloating appearance and waved his hand impatiently: "Go and help Qing Chi. Tonight, kill all the people who should be killed. Only after cleaning up these people can we free up our hands to kill the puppeteer hiding in the dark."
Inside City 5, a Garrison Troops battalion commander was quietly gathering his subordinates, preparing to behead the brigade commander and complete the defense change of the entire city.
According to the plan, they should have waited until tomorrow to cause trouble after putting the blame on others.
But now the Ginkgo Manor's signal is blocked, and no news can be sent out. No one knows what happened inside, and no one knows whether the plan inside has succeeded.
They couldn't wait any longer. All the people who wanted to rebel felt a strong sense of crisis in their hearts. They decisively decided to take action tonight, even if there was no legitimate reason, they would have to create one!
However, just as this Garrison Troops battalion commander had secretly gathered his subordinates and was preparing to give a speech to instigate a mutiny,
the adjutant next to him suddenly took out a pistol and pulled the trigger.
The soldiers looked at the battalion commander who fell in a pool of blood, and were a little panicked for a while.
But they heard the adjutant coldly say: "He intends to rebel tonight. I am ordered by the Head of the Qingshi Clan to execute him. Don't act rashly, otherwise the lives of your entire families will be in danger. I will give you two hours to report each other. As long as you find out who has incited rebellion tonight, the others can be spared from prison."
After saying that, there was a sudden burst of dense footsteps outside the camp. The other troops of the Garrison Brigade, which had already been on rotation,
had actually surrounded the place.
On the northern front, Qing Yu's people had already gone out to kill.
The targets were the group army under Qing Wen's mother, Qing Yun, and the group army under Qing Yuan's father. This was the confidence that some people dared to challenge the Head of the Qingshi Clan tonight.
Qing Yu's troops quickly interspersed into the camp area. The commanders of these two troops, who intended to mutiny, suddenly discovered that the guard battalion of their troops had betrayed them at some point, opening up the deployment of the camp area for Qing Yu!
Not only that, the radar in the camp area was also turned off at night, and they didn't even know that an Airship had arrived overhead!
Some people tried to ask for help. There was still a group army on their right wing as a trump card. That was the troop of Qing Shi's father, the First Armored Division.
However, no one answered their calls. Instead, someone suddenly entered the command camp and reported: "It's not good, the First Armored Division suddenly surrounded us from the right wing. After they encountered our external alert forces, they opened fire directly without saying a word. They are not here to reinforce us, they are here to encircle and suppress us!" Biquge
The commander in the camp slumped in his chair. Who could have imagined that the person who had been playing the role of an ambitious man and wanted to challenge the authority of the Head of the Qingshi Clan was actually a member of the Head of the Qingshi Clan!
Just when everyone thought that Qing Shi's father was ambitious, the other party had always been the most loyal subordinate of the Head of the Qingshi Clan,
never changed.
This acting skill is much better than Shendai Yunluo and Shendai Yunxiu!
The situation is over!
