Chapter 532: Fighting for the Patriarch
"Brother Jiang Ming, you have seen the situation. The eldest son and others are probably aware of something."
"After all, the old master has always liked the young master. For them, the biggest competitor is actually the young master."
Gao Cheng sighed and said.
Jiang Ming nodded.
He was fully aware of the whole story, and Gao Kang had a fearless expression, which showed that he obviously had a backup plan.
It is estimated that the opponent’s trump card is also a strong man with the strength of an Immortal Emperor.
Moreover, Jiang Ming vaguely felt that there might be more than just an Immortal Emperor behind Gao Kang.
He learned that Patriarch Gao was also considered a veteran Immortal Emperor during his lifetime, and there were probably quite a few of them who were Immortal Emperors.
As the eldest son, the eldest son Gao Kang often comes into contact with these powerful people with his father. As long as Gao Kang is willing to spend some money, it will definitely not be a problem to invite a few Immortal Emperors.
Even Gao Cheng could offer a reward that made Li Daotian want to take part in the battle himself. As the eldest son and the people standing beside him, could the treasures they could embezzle be less than that of a mere steward?
The Gao family's inheritance ceremony is indeed a hot potato.
…
After Gao Kang left, he called everyone to his meeting hall with a gloomy face.
As the eldest son, he often helped his father solve problems and handled many family affairs.
But today, he felt threatened for the first time.
This threat came from his youngest brother, Gao Cong! After everyone arrived, Gao Kang stood beside the table and chairs above the conference hall with his hands behind his back, then turned around and glanced at the people below.
"Is everyone here? Next, I have to announce one thing. The chief steward Gao Cheng is standing next to my brother Gao Cong." Gao Kang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, no one was too surprised.
Ever since the news of the master's death in the battlefield came back, Gao Cheng has almost always been with Gao Cong. Considering that the master likes Gao Cong very much, we can roughly guess what happened.
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to take precautions."
Second housekeeper Gao Jinlong said: "As the chief housekeeper, Gao Cheng has absolute say. But he alone can't make any waves. Our most important thing now is to win over the opinions of the family's top leaders, at least to get them to stand on our side."
Elder Gao Zhen also agreed.
"The eldest son has made great contributions to the Gao family, and he is also the eldest son of the family. I believe that as long as the eldest son personally wins over people, almost all the people in the upper echelons will get close to us." Gao Zhen said.
After listening to the words of several seniors, Gao Kang also expressed his approval.
However, he still frowned and said: "Actually, these are all trivial matters. Today I heard that Gao Cong invited a guest and was invited to Yuxiang Pavilion."
"I didn't know until I got there that Gao Cong had secretly found a powerful Immortal Emperor to help him."
"And that Immortal Emperor is said to be Li Daotian's man!"
After these words were spoken, everyone present took a deep breath.
Compared with this, Gao Cheng's position does seem insignificant.
The name Li Daotian is nothing special.
Although he is said to be in the late stage of the Immortal Realm, he actually has little strength. The most terrifying thing is his six disciples, all of whom are Immortal Realm powerhouses! It can be said that Li Daotian's faction is the one with the fewest people in the upper realm, but it is also the strongest one! "How did Li Daotian get involved? Besides, isn't this our Gao family's family affair?" Gao Zhen frowned.
"I asked, Gao Cheng said it was because Li Daotian was on good terms with my father, and he also said that Li Daotian's people could participate in some of our family affairs." Gao Kang said in a deep voice.
In fact, he had heard of it too.
After all, the reason why the Gao family has reached its current scale is mainly because it has established good relations with many Immortal Emperors.
With such a wide network of contacts, no one would covet the Gao family's status even after the old patriarch dies.
However, unexpectedly, Li Daotian's thick leg was hugged by Gao Cong.
"In that case, why doesn't the eldest young master also win over some powerful people? With the eldest young master's connections, as long as he gives enough benefits, he will surely be able to attract more powerful people." Gao Zhen said.
"Well, I did contact an Immortal Emperor. But now it seems that it is not enough." Gao Kang said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, if they are Li Daotian's disciples, they are not ordinary people. But I heard that after Lu Jian attended the temple meeting, he was arranged to go to the front line. Theoretically, all of them should go to the front line to fight with the hidden demon." Gao Jinlong said.
"Are you serious?" Gao Kang's eyes lit up.
"It's absolutely true. Senior Xie Xun also went with them." Gao Jinlong said.
Hearing this, Gao Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Jian and his men have gone to the front line to fight against the hidden demons, and they will definitely not be back in a short time.
Gao Cheng also said that the guy surnamed Jiang was Li Daotian's junior disciple, and he had hardly even heard of him.
Even if he is the Immortal Emperor, there must still be some gap between him and the veteran Immortal Emperors.
If Jiang Ming insisted on standing by Gao Cong and confronting him...
He didn't mind letting the world lose an Immortal Emperor! When Lu Jian and others came back, he could also say that it was Jiang Ming who took the initiative to cause trouble, and their Gao family was just defending themselves.
It's impossible for them to force a war with the Gao family just for a dead person, right?
"Humph, this way things become simpler." Gao Kang smiled confidently.
…
The next day.
Jiang Ming arrived as promised.
As a guide, Gao Cheng greeted Jiang Ming at the door early in the morning.
As soon as I entered Gao's house, I felt the atmosphere was filled with sadness and solemnity compared to yesterday.
As a bystander, Jiang Ming remained as usual and followed Gao Cheng inside.
In the courtyard, there was a mourning hall, with only a spirit tablet inside, which read: Head of the family Gao Xingzhi.
Those surrounding the mourning hall were all core members of the Gao family.
Led by Gao Kang, everyone had a sad expression on their face, and the sound of mourning could be heard from inside the Gao family.
After the wake came to an end, Gao Kang's direct descendants, including the core members of the Gao family, came into a room.
This also includes Gao Cheng and Jiang Ming.
When Gao Kang's wife Wang Xiaolu saw Jiang Ming, a look of disgust appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Ming turned away the man's gaze and leaned aside with his hands folded.
"Now that everyone is here, as the eldest son of the family, I have to stand up and say a few words even in this sad environment." Gao Kang said with a sigh.
"After all, the Gao family is one of the largest families. No matter how sad we are, the Gao family cannot be without a leader for a day."
Gao Kang said with tears in his eyes and a sad expression.
"Yes, although the old patriarch is dead, we can't always stay in the past! Only by facing the future can the Gao family become stronger and stronger!" Gao Zhen said.
“That’s right!”
"I support the eldest son!"
“…”
At once, all the family leaders started to make appeals.
"Wait a minute!"
Just then, Gao Cheng's voice interrupted everyone.
"Everyone, although I understand your feelings, I must regretfully tell you that the master had instructed me before he passed away that the position of the head of the family would be inherited by Master Gao Cong."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.
