519 Born to Win (2)
After dinner, the family left the courtyard and took a walk in the manor to digest their food.
The little fellows ran at the front. Madam Jiang accompanied Old Madam. Yu Shaoqing was sent to push Helian Beiming’s wheelchair, but he was unhappy and his nose was raised to the sky.
However, Helian Beiming, that scheming big fellow, actually used a military strategy book to lure him. He wouldn’t lose out if he pushed his wheelchair, so Yu Shaoqing went all out.
Helian Beiming laughed secretly. His brother was the second master of the Helian family. In the future, the entire Helian family would be his. The military book would also be his. He tempted him with his things, yet he thought that he had picked up a bargain.
There wouldn’t be many such good days. After his brother became familiar with the Helian family, he would no longer be able to fool him. At this thought, Helian Beiming began to secretly calculate how to fool him enough.
Yu Shaoqing said coldly, “I’ll be blunt with you first. I’m Yu Shaoqing, not Helian Beiyu. I stayed here for my daughter. When we get the medicinal primer, I’ll still return to the Great Zhou.”
Helian Beiming nodded. “I know. You’re the marquis of the Great Zhou.”
“I earned it myself!” Yu Shaoqing straightened his back.
Helian Beiming smiled dotingly. “Yes, my brother is really powerful. You grew up in the countryside and made a name for yourself without the help of your family. You made a great contribution at the border and became a marquis personally conferred by the Emperor. If Dad knew in the netherworld, he would definitely be proud to have a son like you.”
This was a high praise for his brother, but what he said was also the truth. The reason why he could become the Divine General of Nanzhao, other than indeed having outstanding talent and hard work, his family had also given him a pair of wings that could soar into the sky. Ever since he was born, he had learned the most powerful martial arts and read the most profound military tactics. He had a father who had carefully nurtured him and countless sacrificial soldiers who sacrificed one after another for him. He did not have to start from the lowest level of soldiers. His name was Helian, and he was born to win!
However, perhaps because his luck had been exhausted in his previous life, he was careless in his cultivation and went berserk. He could no longer wield his saber or spear in his life. The War God of his generation finally died.
However, to his relief, his brother returned unscathed.
Helian Beiming felt sad for his brother who had suffered among the commoners for many years, but at the same time, he felt a trace of relief. If his brother had continued to live in the manor, he did not know if he would be able to live until now.
“Hmph, don’t think that I’ll stay just because you flatter me! I have parents. Their surname is Yu!” Yu Shaoqing interrupted Helian Beiming’s thoughts.
Helian Beiming smiled and nodded. “I said that I won’t force you to stay, but I can’t take you in for nothing.”
“You-you still want to negotiate with me?” What kind of bullsh*t brother was this!
Helian Beiming spread his hands helplessly. “Who asked you not to acknowledge me as your brother? If you’re my younger brother, I’ll naturally help you unconditionally. If you weren’t…”
Yu Shaoqing interrupted him impatiently. “Alright, alright, alright! Tell me! What conditions!”
Helian Beiming smiled imperceptibly. “In a few days, the Helian family will return to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors. I haven’t recovered from my injuries, so I can’t go. Chao’er can’t go as he’s not listed in the genealogy. You’re listed in the genealogy. Why don’t you go and offer an incense stick on my behalf?”
“Just to offer an incense? That simple?” Yu Shaoqing looked at Helian Beiming suspiciously. He felt that there was a trap.
“It’s not simple. You have to kowtow and pay your respects, and you have to kneel there and listen to the scriptures. After a day, you would be dizzy and can shed a layer of skin,” Helian Beiming said as he pretended to sigh. “Sigh, in the past, I was most afraid of paying respects to my ancestors.”
Yu Shaoqing thought it would be difficult. Wasn’t it just a day of manual labor? He had grown up in the countryside, so how could he be afraid of this? Yu Shaoqing curled his lips and said, “You old men from rich families are just good-looking but useless!”
“So you agree?” Helian Beiming’s eyes lit up. Although this was a little unfair to Helian Feng, he was even more unwilling to let Yu Shaoqing suffer. Even if he had to be the bad person, he would admit it.
“Of course,” Yu Shaoqing replied arrogantly.
After offering the incense, you would be considered the head of the family who had obtained the approval of the ancestors. Silly brother, you would never be able to escape then.
After the group finished their walk, they turned around and returned to the courtyard. After confirming that the group had gone far, a shadow hiding behind the rockery flashed and went to the West Manor.
“Master!” The man in black entered the Second Old Master’s room and knelt on one knee in front of the bed. He told the Second Old Master everything he had overheard. “…The Grand General wants Helian Beiyu to offer his ancestral incense on his behalf!”
The Second Old Master was so angry that his heart ached.
Helian Beiming, you bastard. You’ve already agreed to let my grandson go, but you’ve turned around and helped Helian Beiyu! You broke your promise! Don’t blame me for being ruthless if you do this!
“Master, what should we do?” The man in black stood up and looked at the immobile Second Old Master.
After all, he was the Second Old Master’s trusted aide. He understood with a look.
The man in black asked, “Master, you want me to deal with Helian Beiyu? The East Manor has strengthened its security. Moreover, Helian Beiyu has martial arts. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for me to succeed in the manor.”
The Second Old Master blinked.
“Master, you mean… you want me to lure him out of the manor? How, how do I lure him out?” The man in black’s martial arts were not bad, but his brain was not very good.
The Second Old Master’s eyelids were cramping. Couldn’t you just kidnap someone beside him!!!
The man in black understood. Beside him? The man in black patted his head. “I remember now. Helian Beiyu’s wife is an invalid.”
Second Old Master: Then capture her! If we capture her, will we still have to worry about not being able to threaten Helian Beiyu?!
“But…” The man in black felt that something was wrong.
What are you hesitating for? She’s just a sickly person. Do you think she’s some abnormal expert? Go and catch her!!!
