Nalan Zhenhai lingered in the alley with a pot of old wine, walked back and forth at the door a few times, and finally walked in.

Mr. Zhu was doing Tai Chi slowly in the yard. He glanced at Nalan Zhenhai and without stopping the movements of his hands, he said lightly: "I can smell the aroma of old wine from afar."

"Dad, you have a really good nose. This is a good wine that my old man had stored in his cellar for decades."

"That's what you said last time," Mr. Zhu slowly stopped and said calmly.

Nalan Zhenhai was a little embarrassed. More than 20 years ago, he was also carrying a pot of old wine. The wine was kept, but the person was kicked out.

Mr. Zhu sat on the chair and pointed to the stool beside him, "Sit down, Nalan Wenruo's funeral has been taken care of."

Nalan Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the stool with a sigh, "I don't have to worry about dad, everything is done."

Mr. Zhu took a sip of tea and said, "Nalan Wenruo is also a person, so he left like this."

Nalan Zhenhai looked sad, "My father was very peaceful when he left."

"I remember that when he and I first met, we were still in the prime of life. His graceful demeanor and elegant temperament fascinated so many women and envied so many others. In the blink of an eye, he was gone and I was too old."

Nalan Zhenhai wiped his tears and said, "My father has worked hard for this family all his life, but his son is not up to par, so he cannot share his worries. Every time I think about it, I feel unfilial."

"You don't have to be too sad. You have lived for more than ninety years, which is enough. No matter whether you are a prince, general or a commoner, you have to follow this path in your life, and I will soon do it."

"Dad, please take care of yourself. I feel very guilty for not being able to fulfill my filial piety to my father. I will come to accompany you more in the future."

Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "You are only in your fifties and in your prime. I, a bad old man, don't have to waste your time."

Nalan Zhenhai smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, I have resigned from all positions in the family. I have nothing now but a lot of time."

Mr. Zhu said oh, his expression remained the same, and he didn't look too surprised.

"It's okay, stop your thoughts and stop thinking about it all day long."

"Dad," Nalan Zhenhai shouted affectionately. "My life is over, but Zijian is still young."

"I heard that Nalan Wenruo had been shrewd all his life, but he became a confused man when he died."

"I feel that my talents are limited, and I have nothing to say whether it is the eldest brother or the second brother who is in charge. But the next generation obviously chose Zijian as the best candidate, but they chose the most mediocre Ziran. Dad, I am not a person who is greedy for power.

People, I also think about the whole family.”

Mr. Zhu glanced at Nalan Zhenhai and said calmly: "You said the same thing back then."

"Dad, that's different. Back then I was young and arrogant and couldn't see myself clearly, but now I clearly think that Zijian is the person best capable of taking on big responsibilities. I want Zijian to be in power not just because Zijian is my son.

”.

Mr. Zhu frowned slightly and said, "Zhenhai, I just think you are complaining against me because you are unwilling to do so."

"dad"!

Mr. Zhu waved his hand and said, "This is your family matter. Besides, the dust has fallen to the ground. It's useless to think about it."

"Dad, Zijian is your grandson."

Mr. Zhu sighed, "Zhenhai, you don't know what kind of person dad is. You can't help with this kind of thing, and I can't help either."

Nalan Zhenhai knew that Mr. Zhu would have such an attitude before he came, but he came anyway and had to do his best.

"Dad, can you help? Zijian has a group of supportive people in the family. I have also won over some people in the family over the years. Now that Zijian is taking high-profile actions, some people have begun to waver. You don't need to do anything.

"As long as you stand up and say something to spread the word and send a signal, Zijian and I will figure out the rest."

Mr. Zhu closed his eyes slightly, "Zijian is not a child who is greedy for power. Have you ever thought about why he did this?"

Nalan Zhenhai was stunned by Mr. Zhu's words. He had never thought about this question, because in his opinion, there was no need to think about it. Deep in his heart, he did not think that Zijian had no idea about the power of the Nalan family.

It's just hiding like Zi Ran.

Mr. Zhu said calmly: "People always look at others by their own appearance, but they don't know that the world is full of things and everyone is different."

"Dad, no matter what Zijian thinks, he does have the desire to be the head of the family now."

"Put the drink down and you can go."

"Dad, I don't accept it," Nalan Zhenhai said excitedly, "Why can you help Ye Yichen but not help me? If you don't help me, forget it, and you won't even help your own grandson."

"That's different." Mr. Zhu slowly opened his eyes.

"dad"!!

Mr. Zhu closed his eyes again and said calmly: "Let's go."

.......

Jin Buhuan has been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days. He lives in this villa and cannot receive any news from the outside. Logically speaking, after the incident in Pingyang County is over, Lu Qingfeng will come to him, but after so many days, he still hasn't. In his heart

A very bad premonition came over me.

At first, Nalan Zijian's people found him before Lu Shanmin did. After repeated weighing and consideration, he finally chose to believe in Nalan Zijian. After all, the power of the Nalan family was much greater than that of Lu Shanmin. If it was like Nalan Zi

Jian said that the Nalan family has decided to break away from the shackles of the shadow. Obviously, it is much safer to follow the Nalan family than to follow the local people.

But since he was brought here by Nalan Zijian's people, Nalan Zijian has ignored him for such a long time and has never seen him in person. This also made him feel deeply uneasy.

A feeling of being cheated.

The door of the villa opened, and a handsome young man came with a gentle smile, as if he had stepped out of a painting.

A handsome man.

Jin Buhuan was overjoyed and quickly stood up to greet him, "Third Young Master, you made me wait so hard."

Nalan Zijian smiled and took Jin Buhuan's hand and sat on the sofa.

"I'm really sorry for keeping Brother Jin waiting for so long. My grandpa went to Hexi not long ago and I really can't get away."

Jin Buhuan was quite shocked, and then he showed a look of sadness on his face, beat his chest and said, "Mr. Nalan is gone? It really breaks my heart."

Nalan Zijian laughed and patted Jin Buhuan on the shoulder, "Brother Jin, you and I don't have to act."

Jin Buhuan smiled awkwardly, "Third Young Master is quick to talk, and it's fun to talk to you."

"Don't call me Zijian. We actually met when we were kids."

Jin Buhuan smiled and said, "Yes, you were only a few years old at that time, and I even carried you on my back. In the blink of an eye, you were already a handsome guy."

Nalan Zijian held Jin Buhuan's hand and said, "Brothers, if we work together, we can break the metal. If you and I join forces, we will be able to accomplish great things."

Jin Buhuan frowned, and his heart skipped a beat. He pointed at Nalan Zijian and then at himself, "You and I, brothers?"

"Yes, those are my two brothers."

"Isn't it the Nalan family?"

Nalan Zijian smiled and shook his head, "No."

Jin Buhuan stood up with a groan, "Nalan Zijian, you lied to me!"

Nalan Zijian laughed heartily, as if his evil plan had succeeded.

"I'm not completely lying to you. There was a slight mistake. Now the head of the Nalan family is not me, but Nalan Ziran."

Jin Buhuan fell down on the sofa and looked at Nalan Zijian blankly. He was far away in Pingyang County. Did he have anyone to help him collect investigation information? The internal information of the Nalan family was completely unknown. From his appearance, he knew

With the information, Nalan Zijian will undoubtedly become the head of the Nalan family. He never thought that such a dramatic result would occur.

Nalan Zijian took Jin Buhuan's hand and sat down, "Brother Jin, let's make peace with you as you come. You and I are in the same boat now."

Jin Buhuan suddenly turned his head and stared at Nalan Zijian, "Where is Mr. Lu?"

"Hey, I know that you and Mr. Lu have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and you have already developed a sympathy for me and my grandson. We have good and bad times. Brother Jin, please give me my condolences."

Jin Buhuan slumped on the sofa in a daze, his eyes empty and lifeless, and it took a long time before he shed two tears.

Nalan Zijian looked at Jin Buhuan quietly. His grandfather had just left. He felt the same way as Jin Buhuan was feeling at the moment.

"Brother Jin, people like us can't tolerate sadness in the spring and autumn. Our tears can't buy anyone's sympathy. Only blood can make the enemy tremble."

Jin Buhuan stared at the ceiling blankly, "Master Lu often talks about safety first."

"Brother Jin, you are safe here with me."

"I killed him. If I had listened to him and left earlier, he would not have died."

Nalan Zijian shook his head, "No, it was the shadow that killed him and it had nothing to do with you."

Jin Buhuan suddenly grabbed Nalan Zijian's collar and said, "It's you, you lied to us."

Nalan Zijian showed a faint smile and said, "Yes, I lied to you, but now you are on the boat and can't get off. The shadows have found me, and they really want your life."

Jin Buhuan loosened Nalan Zijian's collar and sat down slumped, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Brother Jin, what Mr. Lu cares about most in his life is your life. I believe what he wants to say to you most before he dies is to let you live."

"Why should I trust you again?"

Nalan Zijian smiled and said, "I have a friend who is short-sighted and never thinks about the next step, never thinks about the dangers he will encounter tomorrow, and never cares whether he will die the day after tomorrow. He just takes one step at a time.

Even if he is just a chess piece, he still keeps walking. There is no way in this world, and you will find a way by walking. Haha, there is a saying, if you don't die for tens of millions of years, you will die."

Jin Buhuan looked at Nalan Zijian in confusion, "I was only a teenager when the accident happened, and I had no idea what happened."
