Chapter 708: Family, Country, World
Before the old lady died, although Yu Qi did not come to the scene in person, he knew everything about what happened there.
Without virtue in martial arts, weapons are useless.
If you don't know the number of days, and don't know the pros and cons, then you should perish.
"Yu Qi, although you have been growing up outside, you must not forget that you are also a member of my Wu family. The blood of my Wu family flows in your body." Wu De stared at him with a pair of eyes: "Destroy the world.
Family, what you destroy is your own foundation."
Yu Qi said nothing, but put his hands in his sleeves. They would never understand the reason why summer insects cannot talk about ice.
How could those high-ranking and powerful people put the lives of ordinary people in their eyes?
He, Yu Qi, also crawled out from among the refugees. If he didn't speak out for the people who couldn't survive, who else could the people turn to to make the decision?
In the face of the rolling trend of history, all wealthy families are just paper tigers.
"Don't say anything anymore, take him to the ancestral temple." Weapon interrupted Wude's words.
The ancestral temple was already crowded with people, including old people with white beards and hair, and ignorant children around five years old.
There were probably more than a thousand people in the courtyard of the ancestral temple, large or small.
Yu Qi glanced at the pairs of eyes that were either worried, pure, disgusted, or awe-inspiring, and he followed Wu De through the crowd unhurriedly, all the way to the Wu family ancestral temple.
The ancestral temple is the core place of the Wu family.
In the ancestral temple, there are numerous large and small tablets enshrined. There are probably thousands of tablets. The entire ancestral temple is filled with the smell of incense, which makes people's eyes hurt.
Wu De and Weapon didn't say anything, just picked up the incense and bowed to the ancestral tablet.
After the worship was completed, Wen Wen picked up a stick of incense and handed it to Yu Qi: "You have the blood of the ancestors of the Wu family flowing in your body. Since you have come to the Wu family ancestral temple, you can use a stick of incense to pay homage to your ancestors."
Liezong."
"It's ridiculous to say that. Although I am from the Wu family, this is the first time I have truly set foot in the Wu family's ancestral temple." Yu Qi looked at the incense handed over by the weapon, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.
Back then, that weak boy returned from the distant Yizhou and was not even qualified to enter the ancestral temple. You must know that he is also a direct bloodline of the Wu family.
Isn't this very ridiculous?
It's not because he has developed magical powers now, but he is still not qualified to enter the ancestral temple.
"Back then, my ancestors refused to accept my incense. Now that I am strong, why should I ask for help from my ancestors?" A sneer appeared in Yu Qi's eyes: "My ancestors are not worthy of law and fear. You have worked so hard to invite me here, so you might as well get straight to the point.
, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don’t waste everyone’s time by going around the bush. My time is very precious.”
Seeing that Yu Qi refused to accept the incense, Weapon couldn't help but change his expression, and then showed a wry smile: "Why are you still the same temperament as before? After all, you are also the prime minister of a country, and you are hundreds of years old. Why are you still so childish?
Your character is not in line with the standards of a prime minister of a country."
Yu Qi smiled coldly: "I came to the Wu family today not to offer you incense, but to make a break with you."
Yu Qi slowly turned around and glanced at the countless pairs of eyes: "If the Wu family is wise, they should follow the general trend, disperse the family wealth, and dismiss the clan members. In the future, they will become ordinary wealthy people. If they refuse, I am afraid that the imperial court will kill them with a sword.
, there are many heads under the law, and there is no room for family affection.”
The words were categorical, leaving no room for error.
"Yu Qi, turn around and take a look." Wu De pointed to the memorial tablet behind him with a red face: "Behind you are the ancestors of the Wu family. In front of you are countless men, women, and children of the Wu family, who are your blood relatives.
Do you really want to make my Wu family's eternal glory turn into ashes to fulfill your unreasonable reform? To fulfill your high righteousness?"
"Open your eyes and take a closer look. They are all your brothers and sisters. Your parents are high-ranking, and your grandchildren are in good health. If you destroy the Wu family, how do you ask them to survive? Do you ask them to drink the northwest wind?" Weapon has a pair of eyes.
Staring at Yu Qi: "We don't object to your reform, but you have to leave us some roots and a glimmer of hope. Do you have to force us all to death to be satisfied?"
"Unexpectedly, it was the Wu family who hindered my reform, and the first one to jump out was the Wu family." Yu Qi looked at the weapons, Wu De brothers, and then looked at the fearful faces of the men, women, old and young in the field, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
: "Under the reform, all living beings are like dragons. This is our great cause of humanity. How can a mere martial artist be compared with humanity?"
"If you all want to die, I can make it happen for you." Yu Qi's face was expressionless, and his voice was still cold: "If you know the destiny, you should disband the family and divide the property. In the future, there will be no reputation as a martial arts family. Otherwise,
It’s too late to regret.”
"Yu Qi, if you insist on pushing forward the reform, why not kill us all." Wu De blocked Yu Qi's gaze and stood opposite Yu Qi.
"You are indeed an idiot. With just a little provocation from the Seventy-Two Disciples, you became the spearhead of the powerful family, aiming directly at me." Yu Qi shook his head: "Wu Jing was so blind that he gave up the hope of the Wu family's rise.
It's really ridiculous for your two brothers."
"There must be wise people among you. At this time, it is not too late to use the influence of the Wu family to buy up your family property and leave the Wu family. Otherwise, when the imperial sword is raised, I will not take into account the blood and family ties and forgive you. Let me put my words here first.
, Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said: when the time comes, please don’t beg me in tears.” Yu Qi smiled coldly.
"Yu Qi, are you really so cruel and ruthless? Could it be that your heart is made of iron?" Weapon stared at him with a pair of eyes.
"I'm too lazy to talk to a bastard like you. You're just wasting my words and wasting my time." Yu Qi said angrily: "I heard from people below that this time my Chongyang Palace scholar was assassinated, and the Wu family also took action?"
Yu Qi looked at the weapon coldly, his eyes like bottomless abyss, as if he wanted to suck the soul of the weapon into it.
"What can we do if we take action? Wushengguan is the fiefdom of my Wu family. On the territory of my Wu family, my Wu family is the sky. A group of scholars who don't know the heights of the sky dare to ride on the head of my Wu family and give orders. They simply don't know the heights of the sky.
.These people who don’t know whether to live or die, whoever they want to die will die. A man is responsible for his own work. This matter is my personal order. I personally preside over everything. If you have anything to do, just come to me." Weapon said coldly.
Looking at Yu Qi: "Could it be that you still want to kill your brother because of a few untouchables?"
"A brother is like a father, I don't believe you really dare to kill me!" Weapon stared at Yu Qi with his eyes.
Looking at each other, the atmosphere in the ancestral temple solidified, and time and space seemed to have stopped flowing.
Yu Qi shook his head, looked at the weapon with his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "He who doesn't know is fearless. In front of the court's laws, even the king of heaven can kill me."
"You commit suicide. I will leave you with a whole body. It will be considered as a fight between you and me as brothers, and your dignity will be preserved. In the hands of a fool like you, the Wu family will go astray sooner or later." Yu Qi looked at it quietly with a pair of eyes.
The weapons and words were calm and indifferent, but in everyone's ears, they were like bursts of thunder from the sky, exploding into confusion.
"You...what did you say?" Weapon raised his head and stared at Yu Qi with his eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"If you do something wrong, you will eventually have to pay the price. Even if you are my brother, you will never do it. If you don't die, how can I frighten the world's powerful people?" Yu Qi looked at the weapon coldly with a pair of eyes: "You don't have a brain.
If you jump out, who can you blame? Instead of dragging the entire Wu family into a place of eternal destruction by you in the future, it would be better for me to cut off your trouble now."
"You commit suicide." Yu Qi's voice was indifferent, but in the ears of the weapon, it was like rolling thunder, shaking his body weakly.
"I am your brother! You have forgotten that when we were young, we used to play together. I made you a windmill wooden horse. Have you forgotten about it?" Weapon had tears in his eyes and stared at Yu Qi with his eyes.
His words continued to tremble, and his body trembled into a ball.
"I will sacrifice everything for my rise as a humane and for the great cause of political reform. Besides, everyone is mortal, and you have left your descendants with blood. You will have no regrets in the future." Yu Qi looked at the weapon with a pair of eyes: "I think of you and me.
For the sake of brotherly love, you can choose a dignified death."
Weapon's body was trembling, and his eyes were full of disbelief. He stared at Yu Qi with his eyes filled with despair.
"Third brother, this is my brother! What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu De became anxious and stepped forward to grab Yu Qi's neck. His face was red, his ears were red and his eyes were red, like an angry lion: "What nonsense are you talking about!!!"
"Weapons die, and the Wu family lives. This can be regarded as an explanation for me, the scholar of the Chongyang Palace. Otherwise, the entire Wu family will be buried with me, the scholar of the Chongyang Palace." Yu Qi's voice was calm, without any fluctuation.
"Bang!" Wu De punched Yu Qi in the face and staggered him: "I'll beat you to death, you bastard."
Yu Qi did not refute, let alone resist, but looked at Wude quietly with his eyes. Facing Yu Qi's calm gaze, Wude raised his fist, and could not let it fall no matter what. The angry flame in his heart was like
A basin of cold water was poured on it and it was extinguished instantly.
"Third brother, are you serious?" Wude looked at Yu Qi with his eyes, his anger gradually disappeared, and his face was full of seriousness.
"Alas, you will not live for your own sin. I have already spoken, you decide how to choose. Since you have the Wu family in your heart, you should die for the lives of thousands of Wu family members, and it is a worthy death." Yu Qi looked at the weapon quietly, ignoring Wu De.
