Chapter 58: Seize power
Ji Tianxing stayed in his father's room, and never left from noon to the next morning.
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shined through the window and reflected in the room, Ji Changkong finally woke up.
Ji Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a concerned tone: "Father, you finally woke up, how do you feel?"
Ji Changkong weakly opened his eyes, looked dimly around, and landed on Ji Tianxing.
"Tian Xing... Don't worry, you can hold it for your father."
"This injury and twists and turns are far less than the battle ten years ago, so why is it so rare for me?"
Ji Tianxing nodded silently, feeling a bit sad.
The once vigorous, majestic and domineering father, now pale and weak, lying on the bed, but still has to support his injuries to comfort him.
Ji Changkong looked at him sideways and asked in a faint voice: "Tian Xing, for my father, he may have to retreat for a few months. Even if he recovers his injuries, I am afraid that his strength will fall sharply."
"Although I have been waiting for my father, I want to wait for you to grow up, and then pass on the position of the head of the house to you. But I can't wait for my father, so I can only give you this important task in advance."
"I know for my father that the Ji family's current situation is very difficult, the burden is too heavy. But my father believes in you, you will surely survive the difficulties and keep the Ji family's century-old foundation..."
Of course, Ji Tianxing knows the predicament the Ji family is facing, and he is also deeply stressed.
But the matter is over, he can only grit his teeth and take on this important task.
"Father, rest assured, no matter how hard it is, I will support it and will not let you down."
"I will put you in a secret room later, so you can heal your wounds at ease."
Ji Changkong nodded slightly, his pale face squeezed out a smile, "Tian Xing, Jianyingtang only obeys the orders of the Patriarch, which you can trust. Other than that, you must be careful to guard against others. Ji family I am afraid that many people will be unhappy during the civil strife."
"You have to remember at all times, and you must take your own safety as the most important thing. Only by living can there be hope!"
"Father, I remember." Ji Tianxing nodded solemnly.
Then, he arranged for two guards who were absolutely loyal to his father to send his father into the underground chamber, so that he could heal his wounds with peace of mind.
As soon as Ji Tianxing finished handling this matter, a guard outside the door respectfully reported: "Young Master, the second elder calls you to the lobby to discuss major issues with you elders and deacons."
Hearing this news, Ji Tianxing's expression suddenly changed, and a cold light flashed under his eyes.
"Huh! The second uncle is so anxious to call everyone to discuss, it must be for the Patriarch's order, is he already impatient?"
snorted secretly in his heart, he adjusted his clothes, then left his father's residence and rushed to the lobby of Jifu.
When he arrived at the Ji’s lobby, he saw a group of Ji’s children surrounded by the lobby, whispering and talking.
Seeing Ji Tianxing coming, the group of Ji family children quickly shut up and looked around pretending to be nothing.
Ji Tianxing ignored the young people of his generation and stepped into the lobby calmly.
There are twelve people sitting in the lobby. Except for the two elderly people, the other ten are middle-aged men with dignity.
Ji Tianxing is no stranger to these twelve people.
There are three elders, namely his uncle, second uncle and third uncle.
The other nine people are the principals of the Ji family, and they are all in charge of the workshop business in a state. They can be described as the nine pillars of the Ji family.
Sitting in the upper left position is a middle-aged man with rich, fat head and big ears.
This person's name is Ji Dajiang, Ji Changkong's eldest brother, Ji Tianxing's uncle.
However, Ji Dajiang is the most cowardly and incompetent among the four brothers of the Ji family.
He has neither a business mind nor a talent for forging. What he is best at is eating, drinking, gambling, and having fun.
In the past, his dad treated this uncle very well, and he gave him enough money every month to raise him, so he didn't participate in the Ji family's internal fighting and held a neutral attitude.
Sitting next to Ji Dajiang is Erbo Ji Rufeng, wearing a purple robe, majestic, and a fierce look in his eyes.
As for the third position on the left, the thin, dark-faced middle-aged man sitting is the third uncle of Ji Tianxing.
San Bo's name is Ji Changhe, he is a man who sees the wind and makes tricks.
Ji Changhe is not as ambitious as Erbo Ji Rufeng, but he is also a restless guy.
He secretly made a lot of small actions for public and personal gains, and went with Ji Rufeng. In recent years, he often violated what he said to his father.
The four brothers of the Ji family have different talents and dispositions, but when it comes to martial arts and business talent, it is undoubtedly that the old Si Ji Zhangkong is even better.
Therefore, Ji Changkong took over as the head of the Patriarch 15 years ago.
Except for the three elders, Ji Tianxing's understanding of the nine principals is not so profound.
He only knows that among the nine principals, there are five Ji family collaterals and four foreign surnames.
The five Ji family collaterals seem to have a closer attitude towards Ji Rufeng, but the four foreign surnames have always been loyal to Ji Changkong.
At this time, when everyone saw Ji Tianxing walking into the lobby, they all turned their heads to look around.
Ji Rufeng and Ji Changhe, as well as the eyes of several principals, were obviously scrutinized and unkind.
Ji Tianxing walked through the lobby without expression, and walked straight to the seat of the first patron.
Now he holds the Patriarch Order, replacing his father as the Patriarch~www.wuxiaspot.com~ should be sitting in that position.
But when he walked to the position of the head of the house and was about to sit down, Ji Changhe suddenly spoke.
"Tian Xing! All of you present are your elders, so you don't need to be polite, you still want to sit on the main seat."
"It's not the third uncle who taught you, are you a bit too pretentious?"
Ji Changhe looked at Ji Tianxing with a smile, and a pair of elders taught the younger ones the posture.
Ji Tianxing frowned, and said blankly: "Father handed over the Patriarch's order to me. Now I am the Patriarch, what's wrong with sitting on the main seat?"
As soon as the voice fell, Ji Rufeng sneered and retorted: "This Ji family is not Ji Changkong's Ji family alone. He privately gave you the Patriarch Order, but the elders and principals agreed?"
"Furthermore, my Ji family is powerful, with industries spreading over half of Qingyun Nation. With such a huge family, only the strong with both virtue and ability can be qualified as the head of the family."
"You are not just a teenage boy, how can you control the Ji family power? Isn't this a trifle?"
"If something goes wrong and affects Ji's foundation and safety, can you bear the responsibility?"
Ji Rufeng didn't make a cover at all, and made it clear that he would not recognize Ji Tianxing as the acting patriarch.
Ji Tianxing hated him, and asked him with a cold expression: "Second Uncle, what do you mean? Is it possible that you still want to take the Patriarch's order and control the Ji family?"
Ji Rufeng glanced at him and said with a smile: "I have discussed with several elders, and I think you are not qualified to be the head of the family."
"So, you have to hand in the Patriarch's Order today, and I will take care of it temporarily."
