A knife in love

Chapter 3378

At this point, Yuan Meihui took a look at Li Qiufeng, smiled slightly, and continued, "Actually, meeting Mr. Li during this trip is the happiest thing for Meihui."

When Murong Danyan saw Yuan Meihui say this without any concealment in front of everyone, he felt angry and anxious, thinking to himself that this witch is so shameless that she actually showed her heart to Brother Li in front of everyone, she doesn't know what shame is!Thinking of this, she was about to make a sarcasm when she heard Li Qiufeng say in a deep voice: "You have said so much, it has nothing to do with us at all. Back then when we met suddenly at sea, it was you who ordered your subordinates to intercept us with a warship. You deserved to be sunk by us. Thanks to Miss Mu who took the risk and rescued you from the sea, you owe Miss Mu a huge favor! Later you concealed your identity and followed us, and we also I didn't make it difficult for you. Since your subordinates have come to help in large numbers, and the misunderstanding has been cleared up now, you'd better let them go."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he glanced at Yuan Meihui, and then said: "If you insist on not leaving, you still have to play some tricks, I'm afraid something bad will happen. By then, it's too late for you to regret it .”

Murong Danyan was very pleased when he heard Li Qiufeng's words, and thought to himself that brother Li is a gentleman and a hero, how could he be tempted by you, a Fusang witch?It's ridiculous that you spent all your efforts in vain, and you can only leave a laughing stock, and everyone laughs at you!

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he gave Yuan Meihui a cold look, his eyes were like knives, making people fearful.A trace of embarrassment appeared on Yuan Meihui's face, but this expression was fleeting.She smiled slightly and said in her mouth: "It seems that Mr. Li still doesn't want to believe me. I might as well make my words clearer. I was in the carriage that day and stabbed to death the man who plotted against me. Mei Jiulang didn't Thinking that I would kill someone, I was so shocked that I turned pale. I asked him about his origin, and this person told me about his identity because he was afraid that I would kill him to silence him."

When Murong Danyan heard Yuan Meihui say this, he thought to himself that Mei Jiulang, a despicable villain who was as cowardly as a mouse, was actually frightened into such a state by this witch, which shows that this traitor can't do anything big.But before that, he dared to sneak into Matsuda Rock Island alone, and wanted to assassinate the leader of the Matsuda family. This kind of courage is really unbelievable.Perhaps he had other plans for going to Songtianyan Island, not to make things difficult for the Songtian family.

When Murong Danyan was thinking about it, he heard Li Qiufeng say: "Although Mei Jiulang is young and ignorant, he is quite courageous. I met this man on Songtian Rock Island the other day. He fought with the warriors of the Songtian family in full view. He didn't show timidity at all, he can be regarded as a good man. If you say he is so timid, I'm afraid there are some falsehoods in his words."

Yuan Meihui shook her head, and said: "Mr. Li has great martial arts skills and is invincible in the world, but I'm afraid I don't know the thoughts of these villains. In fact, the Mei family was wiped out by the Songtian family, of course because the Songtian family was strong and powerful. It is far above the Mei family. However, it is not easy to annex the Mei family in one fell swoop. Tracing back to the source, the reason why the Mei family fell was because of hidden worries inside and strong enemies outside, so it was taken advantage of by the Matsuda family .”

At this point, Yuan Meihui took a look at Mei Dalang who was standing in the corner on the right, and then continued: "The previous head of the Mei family gave birth to many children, and these children are not easy to get along with, they all want to inherit The position of the head of the Mei family has been fighting openly and secretly with each other, and there have been many troubles. The old head originally planned to pass on the position of head to Mei Dalang. Later, his favorite concubine gave birth to Mei Jiulang, so he started If not for the opposition of many important retainers, I am afraid that he would have abolished Mei Dalang and made Mei Jiulang his successor. Many retainers of the Mei family knew the old Patriarch's thoughts and defected to Mei Jiulang's sect one after another. He planned to help him overthrow Mei Dalang, so that he could take the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune. So Mei Dalang and Mei Jiulang each gathered many retainers, and the two sides were in conflict, and they wanted to put each other to death. In this way, Mei Jiafeng The officials in the area form cliques and attack each other. They only want to fight for power and profit, and no one is willing to do things for the people. After a few years, the people in the various places under the Mei family's rule are in dire straits, and the people have no choice but to flee to other daimyo's territories.

"The Songtian family had been eyeing the Mei family's fief for a long time. Seeing the continuous strife in the Mei family, the people fled one after another, and took the opportunity to send troops to attack the Mei family. The Mei family was caught off guard, and their soldiers refused to contribute. The Songtian family beat them into a mess and suffered a crushing defeat. The Mei family's children don't know how to live or die, and the Songtian family's soldiers and horses have already killed them in front of them, and they are constantly fighting among themselves, and they were almost completely killed by the Songtian family in the end."

When Yuan Meihui said this, she turned to Mei Dalang and said, "Mei Dalang, am I right?"

Under the light of the torch, the corners of Mei Dalang's mouth twitched a few times, his face showed pain, and he nodded slowly.Yuan Meihui went on to say: "When the city was broken that day, the two groups of Mei family retainers who supported Mei Dalang and Mei Jiulang desperately broke out of the siege, and fled southward with their masters. They knew that if there was still internal strife, They would be captured or killed by the pursuers of the Matsuda family, and they would end up together. In desperation, they had to join forces to fight against the enemy, and they were lucky not to be hunted down by the pursuers. After they got rid of the pursuers, they found a safe place Settling down, they argued for seven days and seven nights, during which they almost drew their swords several times, and finally made a covenant, and there was no more internal strife. The retainers who supported Mei Jiulang reluctantly agreed that Mei Dalang would inherit the position of the head of the Mei family. If Mei Dalang died , the position of head of the family shall be inherited by Mei Jiulang. After Mei Jiulang dies, the position of head of the family shall be handed over to Mei Dalang's descendants. From then on, the position of head of the family shall be inherited by Mei Dalang and Mei Jiulang's descendants in turn. There must be no more disputes."

Listening to Yuan Meihui's words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that this idea seems fair, but it actually hides a huge crisis, and it is an outright bad idea!Whether it is Mei Dalang or Mei Jiulang, the throne of the head of the Mei family is bound to be won, but due to the situation, they have to temporarily follow the power.Once the persecution of the foreign enemies is eliminated, the person sitting on the throne of Patriarch will definitely not be willing to give up the position of Patriarch, and it is bound to set off a bloody storm, which will inevitably be in danger of collapse in the end.The emperors of all dynasties in our Middle Earth have to appoint the eldest son as the crown prince. Even if there are other virtuous kings, they will not easily abolish the crown prince, because they are worried that there will be treacherous officials in the court who want to seek power and use their support to cause disasters.Master once talked about the old story of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Taizong Zhao Guangyi. Because Zhao Kuangyin did not establish a prince, the throne fell into Zhao Guangyi's hands, and all his sons died inexplicably.The brothers of the Mei family competed for the position of head of the family, and they did not hesitate to fight against each other. This chaos was inevitable after all
