Chapter 995: Son of Shan Xiongxin

Single Eagle, Erxianzhuang...

Yun Ye looked at the young man lying on the ground in front of him, and a sense of emotion arose in his heart.

As expected, he was not wrong. The young man named Shan Ying was none other than Shan Xiongxin's son.

Yun Ye had never seen the person represented by this name, but he was not unfamiliar with this person.

In the fourth year of Wude, Shan Xiongxin was defeated by Yuchi Gong and killed. His followers were not buried in a mass grave. The cavalry rode for two days and trampled the land to the ground.

When Yun Ye and Cheng Yaojin and other elders were drinking, he often heard them talk about stories from the past.

Whenever Shan Xiongxin was mentioned, Cheng Yaojin would sigh endlessly. He said that he and Shan Xiongxin were close friends, but in the end he had to watch him beheaded, which was one of the most painful things in his life.

Niu Jinda was similar, and his personality was more open-minded than Cheng Yaojin's. When he was drunk, he let slip that they had left a root for Shan Xiongxin...

It was for this reason that Yun Ye was able to guess Shan Ying’s identity so quickly after hearing his story about his family background.

Of course, Niu Jinda naturally didn't know about this. He was drinking the strong liquor produced by the Yun family at that time. After being drunk, his memory was fragmented and he didn't remember what he said the night before at all.

Yun Ye did not tell Niu Jinda about this matter to avoid any further trouble.

Thinking of this, Yun Ye sighed in his heart. Since the young man in front of him was Shan Xiongxin's son, it was only natural for him to plot revenge against the emperor.

"Do you like Daya?"

Yun Ye suddenly asked.

Shan Ying looked at him doubtfully, and then nodded without hesitation.

Yun Ye asked again: "Why?"

Shan Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked hesitant.

To be honest, he didn't know why he liked that girl. He just felt vaguely that Daya's temperament and conversation were very similar to his deceased mother.

The only difference was that he could see that this girl was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, with a strong will, far superior to his mother.

Thinking of this, Shan Ying said softly: "When she came to my shop to buy meat, she asked about my life experience during the casual chat. I said that my father died early, and my mother strangled herself after my father died, and followed my father."

"Generally speaking, people who hear about my background, no matter how much they know about my identity, will praise my mother for her deep love, loyalty, and chastity."

"But your sister is different. She doesn't like my mother and says that she shirks her responsibilities and is not a good mother. If it were her, no matter how difficult it was, she would definitely try her best to survive and raise the child..."

"It's strange to say. I have a strange temper since I was a child, and I have martial arts skills. If anyone dares to say something bad about my mother, I will definitely retaliate. But your sister said this, which made me stunned and speechless."

"Since then, I have felt that it would be a very happy thing if I could marry your sister home."

At this point, Shan Ying glanced at the stunned Yun Ye and said, "Don't worry, if you marry your sister to me, I promise to treat her well and only marry her in this life. If she finds out that I have other women, just let her pick up the knife and chop that woman to death!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yun Ye glared at Shan Ying and said, "You cheated on me, so why did you chop a woman?"

Shan Ying was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What is cheating?"

Yun Ye said unhappily: "It means cheating on her husband."

Shan Ying suddenly understood, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, then don't kill the woman, just kill me."

Yun Ye was full of black lines on his head: "Wait, what are you talking about cheating on me? Shan boy, I didn't agree to marry my sister to you, especially since you have been thinking about killing the emperor."

"If Daya follows you, won't she be walking into a fire pit?"

Shan Ying immediately said, "Don't worry about that. I have only seen my father a few times since I was a child. I only heard others say that he was a hero. I actually don't have any feelings for him. Besides, before my mother committed suicide, she also told me to get married, have children, and live a good life."

Yun Ye frowned and said, "If that's the case, then you still want to conspire with Dou Yanshan to assassinate the emperor?"

Shan Ying tilted his head and whispered, "My mother did say that at the beginning... But it's not working. When I dream, I always dream of my mother. She comes to me but doesn't say anything. She just stands there and keeps crying. It annoys me so much."

"I didn't know how to comfort her, so I thought, if I help my father get revenge, regardless of success or failure, it might help her soul find some peace, so..."

Yun Ye said calmly: "That's why you accepted Dou Yanshan's invitation and conspired with him."

Shan Ying turned his head, his eyes were slightly red and there was a hint of crystal in the corners of his eyes.

But even so, his expression was not sad. Instead, he frowned and stared at Lin Zhongtian who was smiling behind Yun Ye and said, "What kind of magic did you use? Why did I unconsciously tell you my true feelings?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly: "Guess?"

Yun Ye looked at Lin Zhongtian suspiciously, then turned around and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Shan Ying looked at Lin Zhongtian, then at Yun Ye, and said calmly: "Dou Yanshan, this idiot, exposed me in advance in order to deal with you. Even if I want to assassinate the emperor, I don't have a chance."

"I've thought about it a long time ago. There's more than one way to comfort my mother's soul."

"If I could marry your sister, I think I could keep her quiet..."

After many twists and turns, we are back to the issue of marrying Daya!

As a brother, Yun Ye was naturally very unhappy. He looked at Shan Ying with a frown and said, "My sister is the legitimate daughter of the Yun family. It is no exaggeration to say that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth." "Now she is learning skills from my senior brother. She will be both civil and military in the future. Even if the royal family wants to marry such a noble lady, I will not marry her. Why should you marry a stinky boy selling pork? Do you want her to accompany you to kill pigs and sell meat?"

Shan Ying's expression changed. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "Don't worry about this. There are several letters in my room. They are written by my master to Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, and Li Shiji."

"You just need to deliver these letters to them. They will prepare the betrothal gifts and other things for me. I will never let your sister suffer."

At this point, Shan Ying paused, glanced at Yun Ye and said, "As for the golden spoon and the like, don't scare me by saying it. I know your sister has also suffered a lot. She is very experienced in picking meat and doesn't even shy away from eating pig offal. She is definitely not the kind of lady who never touches water."

Yun Ye was so angry that he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You should observe carefully!"

"Okay." Lin Zhongtian stepped forward and patted Yun Ye on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "I think this kid is pretty good."

"He clearly holds a ticket to enter the powerful class, but he is willing to kill pigs here instead of following the path left by his father. This shows that he has a sense of pride in his heart."

"But despite being so arrogant, he is willing to compromise in front of Daya. You should understand the meaning behind this..."

Yun Ye understood of course, but he just didn't like this boy, especially when he learned that there was indeed a possibility between this boy and Daya, Yun Ye, the future brother-in-law, became even angrier.

Seeing Yun Ye fall silent, Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves, and immediately unsealed Shan Ying's sealed acupoints.

Shan Ying found that he had regained his ability to move, and he stood up with a somersault, moving his arms in uncertainty.

"What method is this?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Want to learn?"

Shan Ying glanced at Yun Ye beside him and said, "We have to ask him."

Yun Ye's face was gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Lin Zhongtian and said, "Let him go to the academy. He can't live in the Yun Mansion!"

Lin Zhongtian laughed and looked at Shan Ying and said, "Did you hear that? You have to go to the academy."

Shan Ying stared at Lin Zhongtian and said, "Okay, but I don't think you can learn your skills in the academy."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "I can teach you the skills..."

Shan Ying's eyes lit up and he knelt down without hesitation.

But before he knelt down, a gentle force came from the front and lifted him up into the air.

Shan Ying was surprised, and then he heard Lin Zhongtian say calmly: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. I can teach you skills, but I won't take you as my apprentice, nor will I give you too much guidance. How far you can go depends on your own talent."

Shan Ying was disappointed in his heart, but he still maintained his self-dignity on the surface.

"Okay, I think so too."

Yun Ye rolled his eyes: "If you thought so, why did you kneel so quickly?"

The muscles on Shan Ying's cheeks twitched, and a faint blush of shame and anger gradually appeared on his face.

Fortunately, at this moment, someone suddenly came from the front yard to report that the Yun family guards had come looking for them.

Yun Ye's heart moved, and he immediately called his guards in.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong at the fish shop?"

"In reply to the Marquis, not long after Zhou Dafu returned, a carriage wrapped in oilcloth drove out from the back door. We followed it and found that the ruts on the carriage were very deep. The things it carried must be very heavy!"

Hearing the guard's reply, Yun Ye turned to look at Lin Zhongtian with bright eyes.

"Brother, do you think it's another Eight Ox Crossbow?"

"You shouldn't ask me this, you should ask him."

Lin Zhongtian shook his head and looked at Shan Ying with a smile.

Shan Ying met their gazes, hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "Yes, the Eight Oxen Crossbow is with Zhou Bo."

Yun Ye smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Pass my order. Stop the carriage and arrest the criminals. No one can escape!"

"Yes!"

The guard immediately bowed, turned and left.

"and many more!"

Before the guard left, Yun Ye suddenly called him over, turned his head and glanced at Shan Ying and asked, "What is your relationship with Zhou Dafu?"

Shan Ying said calmly, "He is a die-hard fan of Wang Shichong and a colleague of my father. I was able to sneak into Yunjiazhuang thanks to him. However, I don't have a good impression of him because he instilled the concept of revenge in me since I was a child and only regarded me as a knife for his revenge."

"If you catch him, just kill him. Don't worry about my feelings."

Yun Ye looked at him with some surprise, then turned his head and asked, "Did you hear that?"

The guard smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "Yes, Lord!"
