Will Ming

Chapter 540 Eighth

"The reason why the family stands still is because it can grasp the pulse of the past dynasties. The court has the same attitude towards all the families. It is both fearful and loving. No matter who it is, it is inseparable from that high chair. With the support of the family, the reason why Li Yuan can sit on that chair and give orders in Chang'an is because he is also from a family, and for us, he is our own."

The middle-aged man was not angry because Xie Yingdeng called him an idiot, but his attitude became more and more smooth and gentle.

"Yingdeng, you have been the best of your generation in the family since you were a child. Most of your brothers are not as good as you, so the family sent you to Li Mi's side. Now it seems that this is a mistake of the family. Of course, no one will I expected Li Mi to be a piece of rotten mud, which cannot be applied to the wall. Now that you have the opportunity to gain a firm foothold beside Li Yuan, it is a significant event of far-reaching significance both to you personally and to the family."

He threw the oil-paper umbrella aside casually and let the heavy rain drench on him.

"Your heart has always been hard enough, and this is what I have always admired most about you. But I don't know what happened these years to make your heart soft. You just said that I am an idiot, but in my opinion You are the ultimate idiot now. You can calm down and think about it, if Wang Bodang and you switched places, if the one standing in front of him was someone from the Wang family, would he make the same choice as you? ?”

"Four Uncle"

Xie Yingdeng shook his head slowly and said: "If it was three years ago, no... two years ago, or even a year ago, why would you persuade me? I know better than anyone what to do. But it is different now. The current Xie Yingdeng She is no longer the former Xie Yingdeng who regards family interests as everything. Yue'e is pregnant..."

He changed his tone and said sadly: "I can't let the child be born without a mother at any time. Similarly, I will never allow the child to be born without a mother."

"For the family, the current me is already a useless person. One more me is not much, and one less me is quite a lot. Why waste so much effort on me?"

He looked at the men in moon-white robes standing behind the middle-aged man, smiled and said: "Even the members of the Tu Ni team have come, it seems that the family has already given clear orders to Fourth Uncle. If I am disobedient, I will be erased from this world... right?"

"With the strength of the family, there is no need to be entangled in this matter. Even if I hadn't brought an army of [-] to join Li Yuan, people from the family would gradually infiltrate into the Li Tang court. , You can see Xie’s family members in every yamen. Fourth uncle... I will call you again, if I don’t do this today, you will kill me, answer truthfully.”

The middle-aged man nodded, sighed softly, and said, "Yingdeng, why bother? Today I can make my own decision. As long as you agree, I will save the girl's life. Even if your uncle blames it, naturally I will carry it."

"I'm not a kid, and I'm not an idiot."

Xie Yingdeng smiled, and said in a flat tone: "You also said that among the young children of this generation of the family, I am not the stupidest one. Ask the people behind you, will they believe what you say? People who don't know how to use their brains won't believe you, let alone me? When will the family let children like us negotiate terms?"

The middle-aged man was startled, and his expression became serious again: "Why do you have to force me? Even if you don't agree, if I capture that woman, don't you agree?"

"Xie Bai Nian"

Xie Yingdeng took off his robe slowly, revealing a strong outfit underneath.Throwing the robe on the ground casually, Xie Yingdeng walked slowly to the door, hooked his toes and picked up a long spear from the weapon rack. The spear turned half a circle in mid-air, and was firmly held by Xie Yingdeng in his hand.

He directly called the middle-aged man by name and said, "You overestimated me, even brought a dozen people from the Tu Ni team, how could I have such good skills? But you underestimated Yue'e, her martial arts are better than I want to be too strong, do you think you can stop her by sending a few random people?"

He shook Chang Leng, and Leng Feng pointed at Xie Bainian's nose and sneered, "I lied to Yue'e today. If she goes out and joins Wang Bodang's army, Bodang will definitely leave her to take care of her, but he will never I will send someone to come. You must have greeted Bodang before you came. Bodang will not intervene at all when the Xie family slaughters the traitors. Otherwise, the entire Xie family may be offended, even the Wang family may not be able to bear it. .”

"But fortunately, Yue'e is gone."

"She can't go!"

Xie Bainian snorted coldly, and shouted loudly: "Take down this disobedient person!"

A dozen men in white robes behind him looked at Xie Yingdeng expressionlessly. In the world they saw, there was always one color, that is the color of the dead.Four people were separated from the back of the team, holding an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a strange steel long sword in the other, walking slowly towards Xie Yingdeng.

Xie Yingdeng held Changlong's hand tightly, expecting in his heart: Yue'e, I wish you well.

……

……

It was getting darker and darker, and the children who used to play the game of catching thieves in these alleys had already got under the covers, or were lying in their mother's arms and gradually fell asleep.Ordinary people, in order to save some lamp oil, always go to bed early, and it is miserable and rainy outside, so they can't go to the next door to chat with each other.After the child fell asleep, the husband anxiously pulled his wife over and couldn't wait to take off his clothes. The wife giggled and scolded the dead ghost.

Even if it wasn't raining, no one could be seen in these small alleys as soon as it got dark.Today, however, it seemed extraordinarily quiet. Even the jackals in the blacksmith's shop opposite were huddled obediently in their sheds, not knowing whether they were afraid of the rain or the killing intent spreading from the alley.

The blacksmith's son leaned against Grandpa's arms, and carefully opened a paper bag from his arms. Inside were more than a dozen bright red candied fruit, which were extremely sweet without eating.

"Where is it?"

asked the blacksmith.

"Given it to the ugly woman in the alley opposite!"

Snapped!

The gentle face of the blacksmith turned into anger, and he slapped his son's ass fiercely and cursed: "General Xie's wife kindly gave you candied fruit, but you call him an ugly woman! You little bastard, what are you doing?" There are no family rules!"

He beat and scolded, comparing the severity one by one: "Mrs. Li is not beautiful, but where did she offend her neighbors? She is the general's wife, but when did she put on airs? Didn't Mrs. Li take the initiative to come over if someone had something to do?" Help? The kinder people are, the more you filthy things will get bigger and bigger! You wretched women and children, whispering behind your back that you are ugly and arrogant, don't you be ashamed! Are you ashamed!"

He beat him so hard that the child cried heart-rendingly.The mother-in-law, who wanted to persuade her a few words, immediately blushed and dared not look him in the eyes when she heard his words.

The blacksmith got up, stared at his wife and children coldly, found out the old wine that he had been reluctant to drink for many years from the cabinet, wrapped some cooked meat and stuffed it into his bosom.

"Why are you going?"

the woman asked timidly.

"Go to General Xie for a drink. It is said that the army is about to go to Chang'an to vote for Li Tang. Both General Xie and Mrs. Li are good people. I am proud to be neighbors with them!"

His words made the woman feel even more ashamed, and she was a little at a loss holding the child whose voice was hoarse from crying.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, until the rainwater is dense enough to beat down and seal people's eyes, making them unable to open their eyes and see the way ahead.Li Yue'e wiped her eyes with her hands, trying her best to see more clearly.There was blood on her hands, so she painted half of her face red, but it was quickly washed away by the rain.

In the puddle at her feet lay the corpses of two men in moon-white robes.One wound was in the throat, and the other was pierced through the heart. The blood from the two people stained the ground a lot red. As the rain gradually spread, the color of the puddles looked a little weird.

She had charged forward three times, killing two and wounding one.

But she still couldn't rush over. Although the men in white robes who blocked the entrance of the alley on the opposite side were not masters of the Xie Family Tu Ni Team, they were all middle-aged men who had practiced martial arts since childhood, and they were more difficult to deal with than ordinary veterans. .If it weren't for Li Yue'e's skill is good enough, and the number of fights on the battlefield is enough, today it is impossible to say that he would be caught in a face-to-face meeting.

There were four or five men in white robes left at the intersection, and one of them had his right arm removed by Li Yue'e's horizontal knife. Blood gushed out like a waterfall, and half of his body in white robes had been painted red.The injured man was on the verge of falling, and was supported by a companion to stand upright.

"Tingbei, help him find a place to bandage him."

The leader, a 30-year-old white-robed man, ordered in a cold voice: "Even if the fourth uncle gives the order, this woman must die today."

Li Yue'e held her lower abdomen with one hand and panted heavily. The pain in her lower abdomen made her feel a little cold.The cold in the body is colder than the rain hitting the body.She gritted her teeth and was about to rush out when she heard an exclamation from behind, and then something fell to the ground and shattered.She looked back, and saw the blacksmith standing at the door, already stunned, with a broken wine jar at his feet.

"go back!"

Li Yue'e shouted loudly.

The blacksmith subconsciously turned back and entered the house, but he stopped after walking a few steps, his expression kept changing, and then he stomped his feet fiercely, and grabbed the hatchet that he helped the next door Wang San from the door today , He looked at the faintly visible lights in his house, and seemed to be able to see his woman coaxing the child to sleep.He gritted his teeth, and rushed out of the yard again holding the hatchet.

"Mrs. Li, don't be afraid!"

He shouted loudly and stood beside Li Yue'e holding a hatchet.Don't be afraid of this sentence, it's like the sun shining on a person's body after the dark clouds are opened, it sounds warm, but Li Yue'e also knows that the blacksmith's words
