When they were done laughing, they covered their stomachs and went to the study seriously.
Li Wan was taking care of the children in the courtyard.
Although she rarely participated in important conversations, Wei Qing and Su Xiaoxiao would considerately tell her the contents later.
She was also a part of the family. Everyone in the family respected her efforts very much. They would not think that she was a woman from the backyard and was not worthy of participating in big events just because she always took care of children.
It was just that everyone had a different division of labor.
The study was neither big nor small. A few chairs could still be placed.
However, Wei Xu did not want to sit now.
If he didn’t sit, his sons naturally couldn’t sit either, except for Wei Qing, who was already in a wheelchair.
Wei Xu said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Sit down.”
A daughter-in-law could be doted on, but he could forget about the young brats.
Su Xiaoxiao sat down in a chair.
Wei Liulang and Wei Ting, the brothers in distress, were in trouble. They could only stand there with their father.
Wei Xu took a few steps by the window and looked at the Four Seasons Begonia in the courtyard. He said calmly, “I want to hear your opinions on the Southern Wilderness and your future plans.”
The three brothers exchanged glances. Wei Ting and Wei Liulang gestured to their second brother.
In the past, Wei Qing did not express his opinions much. Most of the time, he listened to his grandfather and father.
However, now that everyone knew his ability, they naturally would not think that he really did not have any thoughts like before.
Wei Qing received his brothers’s gaze and did not hold back anymore. He analyzed carefully, “The King and the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness both have ambitions for the world. To stop them, it’s best to attack the army and attack the heart. ”
Wei Xu looked at his second son. “How do we attack the heart?”
Wei Qing said, “Get rid of the Saintess and cut off her arm. Then, secretly control the eight tribes and take drastic measures.”
Most of the military power in the Southern Wilderness was controlled by the eight tribes. As long as they did not agree to send troops, it would be difficult for the King of the Southern Wilderness to vie for the world.
However, the King of the Southern Border was their king after all. It was not easy for them to openly disobey his orders. Wei Xu continued, “The King of the Southern Border himself?”
Wei Qing said seriously, “Replace him.”
Wei Xu had recovered his memory and naturally did not forget that there was another “King of the Southern Wilderness” hidden in the abandoned mine.
Wei Xu placed his hands behind his back and nodded. “That’s a good plan, but how much do you know about the King and the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness?”
Wei Qing said bluntly, “I don’t know much.”
“Let’s talk about the Saintess first.”
Wei Xu’s words were much smoother than last night. “She became the Saintess at the age of 16. It’s been 11 years. What you’ve seen of her power is only the tip of the iceberg. Many ministers secretly support her. The leaders of the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon tribes are also her supporters.”
The Vermillion Bird and the Azure Dragon were the two tribes behind the Cheng family.
The few of them did not expect the Saintess’s power to be so entrenched.
Wei Qing said, “Before Dad recovered, we thought that it would be best to sow discord between the Saintess and the King of the Southern Wilderness. After Dad became lucid, we saw hope of assassinating her, but from the looks of it, we can’t kill her easily.”
Wei Ting agreed. “The Ji family has always been eyeing the Saintess covetously. I suspect that the Ji family has also secretly contacted the tribes to poach the Saintess’ forces. If she suddenly dies, these forces might fall into the hands of the Ji family.”
“It isn’t easy to kill her either,” Wei Xu said.
The Saintess cultivated an evil technique. If she was really so easy to kill, she would not have escaped that night.
Wei Xu was confident in killing her, but that was only if she was willing to fight him.
Of course, if Wei Xu’s internal injuries healed, the situation would be different. Whether she was willing or not, Wei Xu could make her unable to escape.
“What does Xiaoxiao think?” Wei Qing asked Su Xiaoxiao.
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
“My opinion? Maintain the original plan to sow discord between her and the King of the Southern Wilderness. In addition, add another one to snatch back the military power of the two tribes. There’s also the Cheng family’s mine, but this was not snatched by the Saintess but by the King of the Southern Wilderness.”
Her goal was clear and her thoughts were clear.
Wei Xu was very satisfied.
He glared at Wei Ting.
He felt that the Qin family had let this young brat off easy.
Wei Ting automatically ignored his father’s disdainful glance. The little fat peacock was his. If the little fat peacock was smart, it meant that he was smart.
Wei Qing and Wei Liulang had no objections. They would discuss in detail how to sow discord later.
Wei Liulang was even more curious about something. “Dad, how have you been these past few years? Have you been locked up in the Holy Maiden Temple? Did that despicable demoness do anything to you? For example… trying to give me a younger brother or sister.”
Only he dared to ask such a fearless question.
Wei Xu wanted to beat him up, but when he saw his golden arm, he swallowed his anger.
He said angrily.
Wei Qing lowered his eyes and smiled.
Wei Xu did not want to mention his experience of being tortured by drugs for the past five years.
However, he mentioned meeting Helian Ye five years ago.
With his martial arts attainment, Helian Ye could not hurt him.
Someone had tampered with his armor and poisoned him, so he was captured by Helian Ye.
After Helian Ye threw him down the entrance of the ice volcano, he climbed out himself.
In order to avoid Helian Ye’s pursuers, he escaped into the secret room and left his armor.
The original intention of leaving the armor behind was not to cover the treasures inside; it was simply because wearing the armor was too conspicuous and made it easy to discover him.
However, he still bumped into Helian Ye. However, before Helian Ye could catch him, he was taken away by the experts of the Holy Maiden Temple.
Those people made a deal with Helian Ye. If Helian Ye kept his mouth shut, they would never let Wei Xu return to the Great Zhou.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Helian Ye agreed?”
Wei Xu said, “There was nothing he could do about it. They poisoned Helian Ye.
If Helian Ye breaks his oath, he will definitely die from the poison.”
The Gu Masters of Northern Yan could not cure the Gu of the Holy Maiden Temple.
Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. She looked at Wei Ting and said, “No wonder
Helian Ye said that he would only tell you the secret if you could kill him. So he would die if he told you. Then it makes no difference if he tell you before he died.”
Wei Xu was still satisfied with his son killing Helian Ye. The little scholar protected by his brothers had finally grown up.
Wei Xu continued, “I’ve never seen the person who captured me again.”
Wei Ting said, “Is there a possibility? He’s someone under the King of Southern Wilderness and isn’t in the Holy Maiden Temple?”
Wei Xu nodded. “Possibly.”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “To be able to capture Dad alive, he must be an expert.”
She had already seen how powerful the lucid Wei Xu was last night.
Even if he was injured, it was not easy to catch him.
At the mention of the secret room, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something else.
“Dad, wait a moment.”
She stomped out.
After a moment, she came back with an iron box in her hand.
It was the treasure from the previous dynasty that they had brought out of the secret room in the Northern Yan Mountain.
She handed the iron box to Wei Xu.. “Dad, can you open it?”
