Wicked Soldier King Chapter 140

A month ago during the big Tang Family meeting, the uncles of the third generation of Tang Jiu’s clan raised the question of who the next leader of the Tang Family would be in light of Tang ZhengTian’s current illness.

This was the question that was hardest for Tang ZhengTian to face. Even though the rules of the Tang Family didn’t have a requirement for men and not women to succeed, but there was no precedence of it happening.

On another point, there seemed to be many Tang Family affairs that a woman could not all handle. These were also the cards of Tang Jiu’s uncles.

Tang ZhengTian’s health was already slowly and gradually becoming unable to sustain the work of the Tang Family, and the choice of the next leader was already exceptionally urgent. When Tang ZhengTian proposed to have Tang Jiu take over, immediately it was met with even more questions. Tang ZhengTian was forced helplessly to agree to one condition: that if Tang Jiu wanted to take the burden of the Tang Family, she absolutely had to find a solid significant other – if not, then very many of the Tang Family’s properties must be given to Tang Jiu’s cousins to manage. That is to say, the Tang Family was about to face the first danger of splitting.

In the Tang Family since Tang Jiu’s grandfather’s time, due to the long period of decline of the country, once the reforms began, the Tang Family was once again revitalized from its deathbed relying on the sole strength of Tang ZhengTian, and had gradually expanded to the point it was now.

It could be said that without Tang ZhengTian, the Tang Family of today would not exist. The Tang Family had been fundamentally built by Tang ZhengTian’s hand alone – because of Tang ZhengTian’s blood relation, Tang Jiu’s uncles were particularly caring for Tang Jiu, and so other Tang Family members were like this today. He had never thought that after he had become ill, these people would actually mess with the idea of splitting the Tang Family.

Tang ZhengTian hadn’t concealed the matter at all to Tang Jiu, saying everything explicitly. At the time Tang Jiu wanted to explode, but what she hadn’t thought of was that her uncles and cousins quickly trivialized the position of her and her father in the Tang Family.

The several great elites of the Tang Family had all been persuaded, so Tang Jiu felt that they had long planned this. Even though they lacked in nothing in the Tang Family, but Tang Jiu was very clear what they were lacking in – what they lacked in was authority. In the Tang Family, Tang ZhengTian’s words were commands, and they were nothing more than a flock of parasites, so they had endured enough. So when Tang ZhengTian fell ill, they wanted to carve up the assets of the Tang Family.

By the fourth generation of the Tang Family – in over a hundred years, they had weathered through all kinds of wind and rain. The one thing that never changed was that they were forever one big family. If this time they succeeded in splitting the family, then it also meant that from then on there was no longer the Tang Family.

Even though ordinarily Tang Jiu didn’t have the slightest interest in affairs of the Family, but when the Tang Family was truly facing danger, she still was aware of the seriousness of the matter.

With one word of her father, Tang ZhengTian, and Tang Jiu very clearly understood. He said that only if the family line was held, could he have the gall to face the ancestors of the Tang Family in the Yellow Springs after he passed. Even though he had taken the Tang Family to its peak, but if it shattered in his hands, then he would die in grievance.

Because of these words of her father, Tang Jiu swore to absolutely not let the Tang Family be destroyed overnight, and to absolutely not let her father truly die with regrets, silently facing the ancestors of the Tang Family in the afterlife.

Tang ZhengTian was very aware of his precious daughter’s character, so he wouldn’t force her to be with a man that she didn’t have the slightest fate with for the sake of the Family. But Tang Jiu instead told him that for the Tang Family, she would make any sacrifice.

Afterwards Tang Jiu disappeared from the Tang Family. Because they already couldn’t wait and wanted to get an answer, the answer that Tang Jiu had given up, Tang YiFei came in pursuit from so far away.

Tang YiFei’s ambitions were greater than all of his brothers. He didn’t want for the Tang Family to split – what he wanted was for himself to become the successor of the fourth generation of the Tang Family……of course, this idea was only known in his heart.

Tang Jiu stood under cold water, and even though the alcohol gave her a powerful headache, but it made her more and more clear-headed. She knew that the Tang Family was in crisis. Tang Jiu knew that man outside was the only hope of saving her and the Tang Family.

Finally, Tang Jiu who had solidified her resolve wiped herself clean. After wrapping herself in towels she clenched her teeth and left the bathroom.

Puuu~! Xu Yun who had been drinking water nearly choked to death.

How was that verse written again?

In the spring cold, blessed by the HuaQing Springs, hot water washes cream. The servant braces the delicate fragile one, only then can the grace of the spring be received!

Xu Yun inside couldn’t help but feel: I’ll be damned! Tang Jiu, oh Tang Jiu, you insist on making ge commit a crime don’t you? About ge not giving you an expression to see, do you really think that if ge trained in Sunflower Treasure eunuch martial arts it won’t do?

“Yo, girl, you insist on giving ge your life? Now that’s good faith. What’s the meaning of wrapping yourself in towels? That’s too much not in good faith eh?” Xu Yun looked at Tang Jiu up and down. Originally he thought that this kind of Miss would definitely be insufferably selfish, and truly hadn’t thought that unexpectedly for a certain thing she could make such a big sacrifice.

It seems like her father and the Tang Family were truly especially important to Tang Jiu.

Just as Xu Yun finished, Tang Jiu directly untied the towel. The towel directly fell from that glossy smooth skin like creamy white jade, without the slightest lack of grace. Xu Yun’s eyes watching nearly popped out – he was just casually making a joke, not thinking that Tang Jiu unexpectedly treated it seriously. Just why was this broad so serious, and what was she so dedicated for?

After all Tang Jiu was a girl, and even though at her side there would never be a shortage of suitors, but always until now, the Ninth Miss of the Tang Family had never allowed anyone to take the initiative and court her.

Xu Yun was the first man to make her do this, and this was tightly because Tang Jiu felt only Xu yun would be able to help her. If not, she wouldn’t have just carelessly exposed her body to a man.

Of course Xu Yun could see that Tang Jiu absolutely was no green tea b*tch – for her to do this was definitely because there was a reason she couldn’t say, and it seems like she truly needed his help too much.

“Alright, quickly get dressed. The two of us can trust each other. I will definitely help you with your affair until the end.” Xu Yun wasn’t that kind of black-hearted person. Tang Jiu had already gone to this point, if he still didn’t say anything, that would be too despicable.

Tang Jiu faintly paused. “Is that true?”

“Look at my eyes, do I look like I’m lying?” Xu Yun said to Tang Jiu, directly pointing at his own eyes, but very quickly and unconsciously his eyes slowly slid down from Tang Jiu’s face, finally stopping at Tang Jiu’s chest. “Uh……Tang Jiu, are you really treating me like I’m not a person? Stop challenging my limits, alright?”

Even though Tang Jiu was very embarrassed of being so honest with a man, but she already made the decision and would absolutely not regret it. “Isn’t this exactly what you want? I don’t have any cards, I can only give myself in return for your help.”

I’ll be damned, can’t take it anymore. Xu Yun was agitated, directly agitated until he could punish her on the spot. Anyways it was Tang Jiu herself that delivered herself to the door, not like he forced it. To not eat the duck delivered to the mouth, that completely didn’t match the logic of him being a man.

Just as the evil idea was about to arise, another voice was heard: If it really happened now, that would really be taking advantage of a person in distress. Xu Yun had never been the kind of person that took advantage of someone in distress, no matter if it was this or something else, this was a matter of principle…..

The angels and demons battling inside made it very hard for Xu Yun to make a choice. One was to be a person that wasn’t a man but principled, and the other was principled but wasn’t a man – these choices were too hard right?

“Didn’t you say that you wanted the false to become real?” Tang Jiu firmly said, “As long as you can give me what I want, then I will definitely give you what you want. This is the deal between us, is it not?”

Xu Yun bitterly laughed, “Then if the deal falls through, there’s still benevolence and righteousness, no?”

Tang Jiu’s eyes stared. “Of course not! I can let you touch me, only because you can help me!”

“If it’s like that, I’d better not touch you. I don’t want to take a bite of this, if we eat then eat willingly – didn’t I say it already? A strong bull isn’t sweet, and you’re not happy to do this, it’s just a deal. If it isn’t you consenting, then there’s no point.” Xu Yun shrugged, he turned his head, really afraid that if he kept looking, he really couldn’t hold back anymore.

Tang Jiu’s brow deeply frowned. “Then what do you want?”

“If today the two of us do this, and I can’t help you, then wouldn’t I just be unfairly taking something for nothing? Hehe, Tang Jiu, I’ve officially promised to help you now for your matter, but I don’t need a reward first. If you willingly want to give yourself up, I won’t stop you.” The smile on Xu Yun’s face was as bad as it gets, but to Tang Jiu it looked like a proper gentleman’s…….

Till now Tang Jiu was still suspecting that she was dreaming. She once again asked, “Is what you’re saying true? Xu Yun? You’ll really help me? But…….This morning you were with that woman……I really don’t understand you now, you helped that girl with her arms, then that girl gave you that…….were you talking about this kind of deal?”

“*sigh* First I want to point out that this morning I didn’t do anything, everything was following after Lei Feng and helping people and being happy for it. As for whether you believe it or not is your business, and I’d also point out when ge says something he keeps his word.” Xu Yun said, “If you don’t believe it, then just treat it as though I didn’t say anything. I’ll just directly leave.”

Suddenly, Tang Jiu directly lunged at Xu Yun, holding onto Xu Yun. Her eyes flooded with glistening tears. When Xu Yun’s decision finally had been said, the stone hanging inside of her finally fell off. She didn’t know what kind of words of gratitude she should say – in this moment, she only wanted to hold this man in front of her that gave her limitless hope.

Only she was so excited, she completely didn’t account for Xu Yun’s reaction. Xu Yun only saw a shining white lump lunging at him, and two ample, bouncing water balls came pressing onto his own chest, that kind of feeling…….tsk tsk tsk…….there was no way to describe.

When Tang Jiu felt something poking her, she suddenly realized what she looked like right now.
Rarely seen, Xu Yun blushed. “If you keep doing this, maybe it’ll go back to the earlier discussion. How about…..let’s first embark and buy tickets?”
