Chapter 03
Ye Xiaotian went to Beijing, and he seemed to have a fate with prison in his life. He came out of the capital city and was arrested once after arriving in Huxian. Although he was not in prison in Jinling, he stayed there as a crime.
The second time I left Tongren and returned to Beijing. That time I was originally a saint who came to Beijing to meet the saint, but who would have thought that after Beijing, I caused a sudden disaster out of thin air and went to the imperial prison again.
This is the third time, and he is going to be taken to the capital to question him. What's amazing is that most of his affairs were caused by him in Guizhou, including those who offend him, but every time he suffered from imprisonment, he happened outside of Guizhou.
Zhan Hu led the representatives sent by the Zhang family and Cao family to follow Ye Xiaotian, like a plaster that could not be removed. However, he followed him like this to relieve Deputy Qian. Zhan Hu was so unavoidable that he did not avoid suspicion. It seemed that he had no intention of assassination halfway, probably because he had deep confidence in the emperor's relationship.
Moreover, shortly after leaving Guiyang, the Song family sent a team of troops to escort them to the banks of the Wujiang River. Yang Yinglong was even more concerned than the Song family. Ye Xiaotian is now his beloved and more concerned than his own son, so he had already sent people to wait there.
In the upper reaches of the Wujiang River, the Song family and the Yang family fought for the ownership of a ferry. However, the soldiers and generals from both sides politely handed over. The Song family escorted Ye Xiaotian and his party to the riverside. The Yang family took people to greet each other on a boat. The cooperation between the two sides was perfect.
Ye Xiaotian was still wearing shackles, but he had already changed one. This set of shackles was brought by Mr. Pi from a troupe. It was made of cardboard and very light. It was originally a prop used by the troupe when singing opera, and it could be torn apart with both hands.
Ye Xiaotian was protected by three hundred soldiers in the middle, and he could not escape, and he had a family and a career. He could not escape. Deputy General Pi was relieved, but the criminal always looked like a criminal, so he prepared such a pair of torture instruments for him ingenious ways. If it weren't for the 300 soldiers, the situation would be too big. Passersby who saw him thought Ye Xiaotian was a young actor in the opera troupe.
On Guiyang, the next morning, Miss Tian made an appointment with Li Dazhang and Hua Yunfei to leave. Mr. Tian was very resentful, but his sister just put a harsh word on her. Mr. Tian really didn't dare to anger her again at this time.
Fortunately, Miss Tian didn't prepare a small bag to carry it, otherwise it would seem like she was going to elope with someone. Master Tian would feel even more uncomfortable. However, although Miss Tian had not prepared a bag, she had prepared a large cart for daily use, all of which were things she was used to.
Master Tian stood under the porch and looked at her far away, just like watching his beloved sister marrying from a foreign land with her dowry, and her heart was so distressed...
He has never been as entangled as he is now: Ye Xiaotian will not come back for a day. His sister will stay in Woniuling for a day. According to this idea, he hopes that Ye Xiaotian will return safely and early. But if Ye Xiaotian comes back..., he said that he would marry his sister as soon as he comes back!
Master Tian was so sad.
Ye Xiaotian left, Tian Miaowen also left, Zhan Long, Zhang Yuhan and Cao Ruiyun closed the door and discussed secretly, and decided to go back separately.
At this point, they and Ye Xiaotian had no chance of reconciliation. Taking advantage of Ye Xiaotian's return to Beijing and there was no owner of Wonniuling, this was their best opportunity. Once they could seize the land and control the people and destroy Ye Xiaotian's power. Even if he returned from the capital safely, he could only be slaughtered and had no power to fight back.
So the three of them need to discuss the next cooperation. After the three of them discussed secretly, Zhan Long sent away the two distinguished guests, turned back to the mansion and immediately ordered: "Get some clothes. Set off immediately and return to Shiqian."
The manager of Zhan’s office agreed to turn around and leave. Zhan Long suddenly remembered something again and asked, “Where is Ning’er?”
The manager of Zhan Mansion said: "The eldest lady is locked in the room all day long, and the old slave dare not go and disturb her."
Zhan Long sneered, then walked to the courtyard where Zhan Ning'er lived. After all, Zhan Ning'er is the direct clan of the Zhan family. His status and treatment in the Zhan Mansion are unique. Although now, due to Ye Xiaotian's case, she and her two cousins have not been affected, their living treatment has not been affected.
Zhan Long pushed open the door of his cousin and saw Zhan Ning'er sitting at the table in a daze. Zhan Long hugged his arms and leaned against the door frame, sneering: "My father has never seen you so sad even after he passed away. What a pity, your affection has been abandoned! First, he was dismissed by King Yang, and now he has been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Tian family. Are you embarrassed or not?"
Zhan Ning'er was filled with an unknown fire, and his eyebrows raised: "Cousin, you are the ones who are rushing to curry favor with Yang Yinglong, but not me! Yang Yinglong came to the Zhan family to propose marriage, obviously because he thought the Zhan family could use it, but you were ridiculous but you were blindsided. Now Yang Yinglong thinks Ye Xiaotian is more valuable to use it. Who is the embarrassing person who is the one who is embarrassed after dumping the Yang family?"
Zhan Long was furious and shouted: "What are you, who are you from? It was my father who agreed to marry Yang Yinglong. Are you saying that my father has no idea of knowing people? That's right! My father really has no idea of knowing people. If I had known that you were like this, I would have drowned you as soon as I was born!"
Zhan Ning'er slapped the table and shouted to Zhan Long: "Zhan Long! I, Zhan Ning'er, also have a father, and he is also a member of the Zhan family! I am a member of the Zhan family, not a slave of your big house, nor did I grow up eating the rice from your big house! You don't have to say coldly to me, I endure it again and again, just don't want to hurt the family's kindness, but I'm not afraid of you, nor do I feel that I have to let you down!"
Zhan Long was furious and said, "You have not let the Zhan family down? As a member of the Zhan family, you refused to draw the sword when facing the enemy who killed your uncle. What do you think? Isn't it because you have an affair with him? Shameful! Ridiculous! Sad!"
Zhan Ning'er suddenly calmed down, looked at Zhan Long, and said in a deep voice: "Even if I have no affair with him, I can't attack him because he saved my life! Without him, Zhan Ning'er would have turned into a pile of dry bones. Can I draw my sword at him?"
Zhan Ning'er shook her head gently and said, "Shameful! It's ridiculous! It's not me who is sad, but you! He rushed to curry favor with the Yang family, looking flattered. He would rather sacrifice the lifelong happiness of the women of his family, but in the end he was abandoned and became a laughing stock. Are you laughing?
My father is irreconcilable, so you go and kill me. Is anyone stopping you? Where were you when Ye Xiaotian was in Guiyang? You hid in the house and didn’t even dare to go out! Zhan Long, are you ashamed of doing this?
You dare not face the hatred of killing your father, but you put this responsibility on me. It seems that as long as I am willing to draw the sword, Ye Xiaotian will definitely die! The reason why your father's hatred is not avenged is that I am so cowardly. Are you sad?”
Zhan Long's face turned red after being stabbed by Zhan Ning'er's words. He was not afraid of death, otherwise he would not have fought against Ye Xiaotian until now. But whether a person is cowardly or not does not have to be reflected in his attitude towards death.
There are very few people who are cowardly and dare not face the setbacks they encounter, but they can end their lives cleanly and neatly. Can you say that he is a brave person?
Zhan Long is such a person. His father's enemy was standing there, and his father's coffin was right in front of him, but he was unable to take revenge, even though he had been working hard.
If his two sons, Zhan Hu, could not avenge their father's revenge by using the power of the Zhan family, and with the addition of Zhan Ning'er, he would definitely succeed? Zhan Ning'er did not have that much power. But he grabbed Zhan Ning'er, in fact, it was not entirely because of self-shaming and fear, and not entirely to shirk responsibility.
What he was angry about was Zhan Ning'er's attitude. If Zhan Ning'er was willing to draw the sword to Ye Xiaotian without hesitation, regardless of whether she succeeded or not, Zhan Hu would not speak ill of her. What he was angry about was that as a member of the Zhan family, Zhan Ning'er's position was so not clear.
The betrayer has always been more hated than the enemy. This is the fundamental reason why he keeps looking for trouble with Zhan Ning'er. Now Zhan Ning'er says that he shirked responsibility because of his cowardice and incompetence, which made Zhan Long furious.
He roared. The strong wind swept into the room and slapped Zhan Ning'er's cheek. Seeing the power of the palm, the whistling wind was like a wind. If it really slapped, I was afraid that Zhan Ning'er's cheek bone would break.
Zhan Ning'er's body was wrong. He pointed at Zhan Long's wrist. The two were cousins. He used to practice martial arts and were very familiar with each other's body movements. Although Zhan Long did not leave any strength when he tried his best and did not change his moves, he took advantage of the opportunity to rush forward and raised his left hand and pounded his elbow to Zhan Ning'er's chest.
Zhan Ning'er retreated with his chest in his arms and kicked Zhan Long's knees. Zhan Long raised his leg to meet the kick. The two of them took three steps back quickly. With a "click", the door frame was broken by Zhan Long, and Zhan Ning'er crashed into the ancient shelf. The porcelain on the rack was smashed to pieces.
The two of them made a real fire, their bodies paused for a moment, and rushed to each other again. For a moment, they heard the room sensation, as if they were suffering from a tornado. The eldest young master and the eldest lady fought, and no one in the Zhan family dared to persuade them. Everyone hid far away, for fear of sweeping the wind.
...
Ye Xiaotian went to Beijing, Zhan, Cao and Zhang families rushed back to their nests and joined forces to plan for Woniuling. He was surprised to hear about the incident on Woniuling, and he also urgently discussed and took countermeasures. However, the "old village chief" of Gdoulao, who had a "old village chief", had a limited role to play and could not put forward any constructive opinions.
The elders of the Gu Cult were not interested in the survival of Woniuling at all. They were rushing to speak, and they discussed that they should send people to the capital, whether it was halfway through the road or the prison for the capital to rescue the Venerable and the old man. Everyone shrank into the mountains. If I didn't go out, no one could do anything to me.
As for the two militants Yu Puman and Yu Jiahai, they completely ignored the current situation of being attacked on Woniuling on three sides. They were clamoring like they were infuriated: "We declare war on the Zhang family!" "We declare war on the Cao family!" "We declare war on the Zhan family!" "We declare war on Ye Mengxiong!" "We declare war on Wanli..."
The two war madmen did not continue to talk because Miss Yu Junting and Miss Yu stepped into the hall at this time. Yu Puman was the old members of the Yu family after all, and when they saw the old master, they couldn't help but silence.
Yu Junting's femininity is becoming more and more intense now, and her lower abdomen is already a little bulging, but she is wearing a young master's robe and hiding her waist, which is not very obvious. Yu Junting glanced at her two uncles in anger and said, "Ye Xiaotian's life and death will be unpredictable this time. You still want to cause trouble, are you afraid that he will not die?"
Everyone looked at each other. They all knew that Yu Junting was an important ally of Ye Xiaotian, and they could see that the two seemed a little ambiguous. But no matter what, if something happened to the Ye family, it would not be her turn as an outsider to take charge of the overall situation, right?
Miss Yu, who is "a mother is precious by her son", feels very good about herself. She completely forgot that the fact that she is pregnant with Ye Xiaotian is a huge secret. These people don't know at all. She walked to the top in a big way, and that seat was still empty because it was Ye Xiaotian's seat.
Yu Junting went up to the first seat, glanced at everyone, picked up the posture of the Empress Dowager Mother, about to speak, but a guard hurriedly walked into the door and reported panting: "Mr. Li and Brother Hua are back, and... there is also a Miss Tian..."
