Chapter 1741

At this time, Wu Shouzhuo continued to speak: "You just said that you wanted to leave Zhonghemen because you were dissatisfied with being inferior to Situ Jin. I believe what you said is true."

"Ten days later, my Wu family will convene all the elders of Zhonghemen to hold a meeting and select another leader according to the elders' opinions. If you two are interested, you can also participate in the competition for the position of leader."

This is the expedient plan that Wu Shouzhuo thought of during the period when Ye Xiao proved the painting.

If he only relied on the fact that Wang Lin and the other two gave him a fake, he would get rid of them. Although this would prevent the betrayal faction from finding a pretext to take action, it would not convince the public.

In Wu Shouzhuo's view, what he needs to do now is to stabilize Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang first, and then find a more appropriate way to get rid of the two.

Choose another leader?

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, thinking that Wu Shouzhuo was really not decisive enough.

Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang both clearly wanted to defect from the Wu family and join other forces. Is it necessary to give them a chance to continue to jump?

If it were him, he would probably restrict their freedom and confine them even if he didn't send them to death on the spot.

After hearing what Wu Shouzhuo said later, Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang both thought quickly.

They also saw that this was Wu Shouzhuo's way of delaying time, but at the same time, they also saw their opportunity in it.

Although Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang did not want to stay in Zhonghemen, if they took the position of the leader and then joined the Betrayal Faction, they would definitely get better treatment.

And the two also felt that they had a great chance of winning. First of all, they were not the only ones in Zhonghemen who did not obey Situ Jin. In terms of support rate, they were not weaker than Situ Jin.

Secondly, they could also get the support of the Betrayal Faction, and they had more advantages than Situ Jin in terms of funds and government.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Yunxiang and Wang Beixiong looked at each other, then stood up and said, "Mr. Wu, Beixiong and I have received a lot of favors from the Wu family. Since you said so, let's do it according to your wishes!"

Hearing Lin Yunxiang's words, Wu Huiru felt disgusted. She knew very well what Lin Yunxiang and Wang Beixiong were planning. They said nice things, but in fact they were eager to join the arms of the betrayal faction as soon as possible.

Of course, she could also see that this was her father's expedient measure, but would her father really have a way to curb the ambitions of Wang Lin and the others in the future?

Wu Huiru was very worried about this.

"Okay, then it's settled. You can go back and do your business first!" Wu Shouzhuo waved his hand and sent the two away.

Now the two sides have almost opened their cards and he doesn't want to say anything more to them.

Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang bowed to Wu Shouzhuo and said goodbye at the same time.

However, when the two turned around, they glanced at Ye Xiao with their peripheral vision. It was obvious that they did not intend to let Ye Xiao, who came out of nowhere to do bad things, go.

After Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang walked away, Wu Chuan and Davika came out from behind the screen.

The two were more relaxed at this time. I believe that after what happened just now, Wu Shouzhuo should sit down with Ye Xiao and have a good talk about cooperation.

Wu Huiru was also looking forward to the conversation that Ye Xiao and her father were going to have.

At the beginning, her father's attitude showed signs of loosening. Now Ye Xiao helped her father out of the siege, and he had a common language with his father in calligraphy and painting. The two should be able to reach some cooperation!

"Let's sit down and talk!" Wu Shouzhuo said to Ye Xiao and others with a faint smile.

"Mr. Wu, I just acted on my own and disturbed your conversation." After sitting down, Ye Xiao apologized.

Although he came forward without authorization and pointed out that the paintings sent by Wang Lin and the others were fakes, which reversed Wu Shouzhuo's disadvantage in the verbal confrontation, it was not polite after all.

In addition, whether they could achieve their goals on this trip depended on Wu Shouzhuo's intention, so Ye Xiao tried to remain humble.

"Haha!"

Wu Shouzhuo laughed loudly, "Young man, I should thank you."

"You are very good, I personally admire you very much."

At this point, Wu Shouzhuo suddenly changed the subject, "However, the forces you represent want my Wu family to do things, I still need to think carefully about it."

"Uh!"

Wu Shouzhuo's sudden reversal made Ye Xiao, Wu Huiru and Wu Chu'nan all stunned.

This was equivalent to Wu Shouzhuo showing his cards and ending the topic before Ye Xiao and others spoke.

"Mr. Wu, based on my understanding of the Wu family and Zhonghemen, if you want to preserve Zhonghemen and hold it in your hands now, you should walk out of thatOne step. "

"Otherwise, the disintegration of Zhonghe Sect will be a matter of time, and the Wu family will also be suppressed by the other two major forces."

Wu Chuan said seriously.

Although Wu Shouzhuo had guessed their intentions and expressed his attitude, Wu Chuan still did not want to return empty-handed.

"Dad, I think what he said is right. Our Wu family can't retreat anymore. Today, Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang dared to come to our door and break with our Wu family head-on. Even if you can temporarily stabilize them, what about the future? "

Wu Huiru also persuaded.

In Wu Huiru's opinion, what her father did was only a temporary solution. If the Wu family continued to stick to their old ways, then it would not be long before their Wu family completely declined.

At this time, Ye Xiao remained silent. He had a hunch that he and Wu Chuanan would not be able to reach an effective cooperation in the Wu family led by Wu Shouzhuo.

With Wu Shouzhuo's character, he would definitely not do such a thing as a desperate battle.

And through his handling of Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang, it can be seen that Wu Shouzhuo just wanted to patch up the Wu family and delay its decline, but he did not have the determination to lead the Wu family to a higher level.

Wu Shouzhuo sighed and explained to Wu Chuanan: "Young man, my Wu family is like an old ship that has been sailing on this route for more than ten years. It is not easy to turn around rashly. "

After that, Wu Shouzhuo stood up, "Everyone, please go back! "

Seeing that her father had made a decision, Wu Huiru sighed secretly. Now she was powerless.

"So Mr. Wu, how will you deal with the betrayal of Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang? We will stay in Penglai for a while. If Mr. Wu needs it, we are willing to provide help. "

At this time, Ye Xiao spoke in a different way.

Directly let Wu Shouzhuo change the style of doing things that the Wu family has adhered to for more than ten years, perhaps Wu Shouzhuo can't make up his mind for a while.

So Ye Xiao thought that he would first cooperate with Wu Shouzhuo on the difficult things, maintain a certain relationship with the Wu family, and then take it one step at a time.

Hearing this, Wu Shouzhuo's expression froze slightly, and he was a little entangled in his heart.

He also got some information about what Ye Xiao did after coming to Penglai. He killed five Dan realm warriors in Penglai Restaurant in one breath, at least all of them were great masters.

And from Ye Xiao's performance just now, he is also very good at identifying antiques. Such a person who is both civil and military must not be an ordinary person.

Perhaps getting help from this person is a rare opportunity for his Wu family.

"Young man, I'm a little tired today. I'll let Huiru contact you when I come down." Wu Shouzhuo neither rejected Ye Xiao's proposal nor gave a positive answer.

"Mr. Wu, goodbye. "

Ye Xiao stood up and said decisively.

At this time, Ye Xiao was completely deflated. The Wu family was headed by such an indecisive person. Even if he and Wu Chu Nan helped with all their strength, I am afraid it would be difficult to compete with the other two factions.

It seems that in order to accomplish the task assigned by the second elder, we must think of another way.

"Hui Ru, please see the guests off for me! "Wu Shouzhuo said with a complicated look.

It's not that he doesn't want the Wu family to be glorious again, but he is very clear about his own abilities, so he doesn't want to see the Wu family fall into the abyss because of him.

Perhaps the old man will come back, or his daughter will grow up for a few more years, so she can seize this opportunity!

Not long after, Ye Xiao, Wu Chuannan and Davika, just like when they came, walked out of the reception hall with Wu Huiru.

But unlike when they came, everyone was full of hope, now everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was depressing.

Just when the four of them were about to walk out of the door, suddenly, Ye Xiao's figure paused, and he sensed a familiar breath coming towards him.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, "Why is he also in the Wu Mansion?"
