"Boss, you also know that the old man Liu Zongyuan is not an easy one to deal with. He has been practicing martial arts secretly over the years and has reached an unfathomable level. I am risking my life to help you do things." Liu Qingshan said in a roundabout way.

"What exactly do you want to say?" the other party said coldly.

"The villain means that you promised me to be the head of the Liu family after the matter was completed. It should be counted. If you come across a river and destroy the bridge, I will be done. Besides, you are always so mysterious and I still don't know your true face." Liu Qingshan asked carefully.

"Boy, don't worry, I'm not from the Liu family, and the head of the Liu family must find a person with the surname Liu. This person is of course you. Since you are willing to listen to me, why don't I cultivate you? Do it with confidence and boldness. Do it according to my plan. Within a week, the old man Liu Zongyuan will definitely die suddenly!" the other party said coldly.

"Hey hey hey, okay, hey, the villain is just asking. In this case, the villain will be relieved and take action immediately." Liu Qingshan hung up the phone beautifully and quickly took action.

Liu Zongyuan, the head of the Liu family, was in the practice room, closing his eyes to rest and meditating, but his mind was in a difficult mood. He couldn't help but slowly opened his eyes and said to himself: "Yan'er, Lang'er, grandpa knows that you really love each other, but grandpa can't watch the foundation of the Liu family fall into the hands of others. Grandpa also has his own difficulties. I hope you can understand."

The old man is a shrewd person. Although he doesn't understand the feelings of young people very well, he can also see that Yan'er has been in a very low mood these days. He said that he had put all his work on his work, but in fact he was always absent-minded and unable to calm down.

He felt even more sorry for Xu Lang for his unjust accusation and smearing Xu Lang to force Yan'er and Xu Lang to sever their ties. After all, Xu Lang saved his life, and it would be a bit ungrateful to do so.

"Oh, I hope Yan'er can forget Lang'er as soon as possible!" Liu Zongyuan said lamentingly.

At this moment, the copper bell in the practice room rang. The servants who were specifically serving his food were shaking the mechanism outside. In the practice room, the copper bell would ring, reminding the owner that it was time to have a meal.

Liu Zongyuan slowly stood up, pressed the button of the motivational mechanism, and the door of the practice room opened. From outside, six old men carrying four dishes, one soup and one portion of rice, and another old man who had nothing to take. It seemed that these old men were all older.

The six old men placed the meals one by one on a long table, which was the meal for the head of the Liu family.

The six old men gestured with their hands, shouting, and introducing the food to the owner, they could not speak or listen, because they were all deaf and mute, and they were servants who specialized in serving Liu Zongyuan.

Liu Zongyuan washed his hands, nodded, and nodded at the old man who had been standing next to him without saying anything, "Boe Xi, there are many things to do recently, and there are many dangers. I have to ask you out of the mountain again. Please give me a try."

The old man named Xi Bo said in fear and trepidation: "Master, don't be polite, this is what the old slave should do."

As Xi Bo said, he picked up silver chopsticks, picked up some of them from four dishes, one soup to rice, put them in the same big bowl, chewed them carefully, and swallowed them slowly.

Liu Zongyuan next to him was observing Xi Bo carefully and carefully to see if his face had changed.

In ancient large families, the head of the family or an important figure in the family was worried about rebellion among the family members or assassination by foreign enemies. They were generally equipped with special servants to taste all the meals before the owner had a meal, and only after they were confirmed to be non-toxic will the owner continue to eat.

This practice originated from ancient emperors and princes and ministers, and has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. Over time, it has been extended to the feudal family during the Republic of China. After the establishment of the new China Kingdom, the landlord class and feudal bureaucrats were overthrown, and this vulgarity was also eliminated. However, it was secretly used in some ancient traditional big families.

Liu Zongyuan was an enlightened head of the family. He abolished this practice forty years ago. Occasionally, when the family faces a crisis, he will use it for a while. The old man named Liu Jinxi, known as "Xi Bo", is the servant of the Liu family who has been serving this role for decades.

The last time this practice was launched was more than ten years ago. Now, Liu Zongyuan has no choice but to invite Xi Bo out again.

Of course, Liu Zongyuan also knew that this approach was not absolutely safe, because some poisons were chronic and would only occur over time. However, this was also the first barrier. After all, the Liu family now has hidden secrets. If they are not careful, they will definitely be destroyed after being killed, and he has to do so.

Ten minutes later, after seeing that Xi Bo had not changed, Liu Zongyuan slowly started to have a meal and told Xi Bo: "Xi Bo, Yan'er is back, you go to her side, and you must ensure Yan'er's safety."

Xi Bo hurriedly said, "Yes, Master!"

Liu Jinxi said, and walked out.

From the practice room to the lady's attic, there were many pavilions and towers in the middle, and the rockery was fake. I saw him watching everywhere, hiding behind a rockery rock while people were not paying attention. There was a person waiting for him, and this person was no one else, but Liu Qingshan.

I saw Liu Qingshan looking around like a thief, and asked carefully: "How is it? Have the old thing eaten?"

Liu Jinxi nodded, "I've eaten it, I'll watch him eat it."

"Give it, this is the antidote. Take it quickly. It will not harm your body. From now on, you will do this for every meal." Liu Qingshan said, and handed a small white bottle to Liu Jinxi.

After Liu Jinxi took the medicine, he hurried to the attic where Liu Ruyan was, where she had a place where she had a meal alone.

Liu Ruyan, who had just arrived home with her exhausted body, threw off her bag, lay down on the bed, looked at her watch, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and Xu Lang and Mi Xiaomi had been taking off for more than an hour.

At noon today, Xiao Yuruo quietly called her and advised her not to have a quarrel with Xu Lang and wanted her to say goodbye to Xu Lang. Yuruo's actions moved her so much that she wanted to cry.

However, at that time, she was with her grandfather. If she let her know that she was going to see Xu Lang, she would definitely be angry again. Her grandfather promised her that she would not attack Xu Lang, and the condition was to let her cut off her relationship with Xu Lang. For Xu Lang, she could only obey her grandfather's mercy.

In fact, Liu Ruyan also believed in Xu Lang. In her eyes, Xu Lang was definitely not the kind of person who did not hesitate to hijack her grandfather in order to seize the foundation of the Liu family. However, grandfather, a decent old man, was willing to make up lies to achieve the goal of breaking off her relationship with Xu Lang. This shows that grandfather tried his best and made up his mind. She couldn't bear to watch her grandfather fight with Xu Lang, so she had to withdraw.

"Xu Lang, I love you. Although I can't be with you, you have to know that my heart will always be with you. This time you go to M Country, you must return safely!" Liu Ruyan stared at the ceiling and said to herself in a daze.

Although Liu Ruyan had no appetite, in order to help the Liu family overcome difficulties, she could not let herself fall down, so she forced herself to stand up and go to the restaurant to have a meal.

As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, Xibo and others were already waiting.

The last time Xi Bo was launched was more than ten years ago. Liu Ruyan has always rejected this practice of sacrificing other people's lives to ensure their personal safety. Therefore, when she saw Xi Bo again, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but be shocked. She knew that this was grandpa's emergency plan. Although she was very disgusted, this was grandpa's decision after all. She dared not interfere, but she could not make mistakes. She hurriedly said: "Brother Xi, you don't have to taste the meal, go down and rest."

This surprised Liu Jinxi and hurriedly said, "Ah? Miss, this is not OK. This is the responsibility of the old slave. The master just explained it to me."

Liu Jinxi said in embarrassment.

"Uncle Xi, I just said you have tried it for me, don't worry, grandpa, grandpa won't know, you can go down to have a meal too." Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

"Miss..." Liu Jinxi wanted to stick to what else.

However, Liu Ruyan said seriously: "Brother Xi, please be sure to follow my arrangements. I, Liu Ruyan, will not build my own safety on the dangers of others. Grandpa is grandpa, I am me. If someone really poisons me, then let me die. Anyway, as long as my grandpa is there, I will not fall down."

After saying this, Liu Jinxi was shocked and her heart couldn't help but tremble. Unexpectedly, the lady was such a person, and she muttered to herself: Miss has grown up, Miss has grown up.

Liu Jinxi's nose felt sour, she gently wiped the old tears, walked to the dining table, and said slowly: "Miss, thank you, I am! Come on, this is the fried rice cake I specially told the chef to make for you, eat it quickly."

Xi Bo said crying and laughing.

In order not to let himself fall, Liu Ruyan forced herself to eat some food and went back to rest.

………

On the plane from Jiangdu to Boston, Country M.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the lights were turned off in the cabin, leaving only the small lights that passengers lit as needed. The entire cabin was dim and quiet, and some passengers had already snored slightly. Mi Xiaomi next to Xu Lang seemed to be tired of playing, leaned on the seat and slowly fell asleep.

Xu Lang took the blanket and covered Mi Xiaomi's body. When he saw the proud pair of peaks on Mi Xiaomi's chest, Xu Lang couldn't help swallowing and quickly looked away.

After sitting for a while, Xu Lang gently turned his body, walked out, and went to the bathroom.
