Chapter 272 Summer Family Crisis
"Bump..."
"Come in." Uncle De got up slowly.
Xia Ruoyan pushed the door and nodded to the servant who took care of his father for days: "Uncle De, you have been working hard for many days. Go and have a rest. I want to talk to my father."
These days, Xia Ruoyan seems to be thinner, and even her smile is less, which makes life pitiful. Uncle De nodded silently: "Miss, please also pay attention to your health. I'm resting next door, and I will come immediately if there is an accident."
"Squeak~~" door closed again, Xia Ruoyan was stunned in place, looking at the summer frosty sky lying on the bed, tears rolling in her eyes. In the past, omnipotent, obedient father has become a "living dead man" now. The whole house is busy, but he can't help anything, like an outsider. Although the eldest brother has never blamed himself, he is more uncomfortable than being scolded.
"Dad, Yan'er came to see you."
"...The house is very worried about you these days. The eldest brother and second brother are busy dealing with military affairs and have been tired for several days..."
"All this came too suddenly without any precautions. Today, Yaner heard his servants talking about Brother Xiao in private. You tell Yaner who is the assassin..."
"I don't believe that Brother Xiao is an assassin. Didn't he go to his father to propose marriage that night..."
"Why do you have to make a choice between Dad and Brother Xiao... I've tried to forget, but I can't do it... Dad, tell me what to do, you wake up early..."
When the tears dried up and she was tired of talking, Xia Ruoyan finally leaned on the quilt and was dizzy. Xia Shuangtian slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xia Ruoyan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, showing a loving look: "If you go out this step, there will be no way back. Yaner, forgive your father's selfishness..."
The next morning, Xia Zhong returned to the house with a gloomy face. Sixty-seven powerful figures sit in the hall. Looking at his face, everyone knows that there will be no good news in the court today. Xia Luo said, "Brother, what happened in the court today?"
Xia Zhong hummed: "The Zheng family and the Wu family proposed to withdraw the position of Marshal of Soldier and Horse on the grounds that their father was unconscious, and they wanted Zhang Huasheng, who guarded the northwest defense line, to temporarily replace him. No one in the imperial court knew that my Xia family was meritorious, and no one stood up to refute except some old subordinates. Humph, a good calculation, "
The white-haired old man brushed his beard and said, "This is not a rare thing. Zheng and Wu have been coveting military power. In the past, the second brother was in the court, and no one dared to say anything about him. Now it's just a repeat of the past. The Wu family and the Zheng family were not at peace. This time, this is the trouble.
Xia Luo said, "In the past, because the third sister had a marriage contract with the Wu family, the relationship between the Wu family and Xiafu was not bad. Now the emperor has decreed to terminate the marriage. Perhaps it is because of the hatred that made the Wu family lose face.
Xia Luo was very careful to avoid mentioning Xiao Ran, because some of the people present complained that Xia Ruoyan led the wolf into the room. Although it is not so straightforward, according to Xia Zhong's nature, they will quarrel again. A man with a good appearance and a mole on the corners of his mouth said, "If the smoke hadn't attracted this person, he would have recognized these troubles. Even if the Xia family is not weak, it can't stand the cooperation of Zheng Wu. Now that the owner is still unconscious, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it. He should make a way out as soon as possible.
"Uncle Seven means summations?"
Xia Zhong's tone is a little bad. The man didn't seem to hear it. He continued: "It's not impossible. This is the time for security. Wait until the owner wakes up to discuss the counterattack. I heard that the prince liked stalls very much, and even asked the emperor for marriage. If the marriage results, it will be the royal relatives, and the crisis will be solved naturally. After saying that, he looked complave of the proposal.
Xia Zhong sneered and said, "There are no greedy people who are afraid of death. They are all iron men. Do you want to seek peace by marrying your daughter? Still not laughed at by the world? Is this Uncle Seven's method?"
The man with a mole at the corner of his mouth slowly stiffened his smile and raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "It's all caused by smoke. What's wrong with the Xia family!"
"Xia family? Uncle Seven, you go to the brothel all day long. You spend all the money of the Xia family. What kind of effort have you done? What right do you have to talk about cigarettes?" Xia Zhong patted the table and scolded loudly. Everyone frowned, and both of them have some reason to say that it will be difficult to meet anyone in the future.
"Xia Zhong! The second brother will never talk to me like this again. How dare you be disrespectful to your elders!" The mole man looked at each other.
"If the men of the Xia family fight on the battlefield, they can't even protect their relatives. What's the face of the ancestors? Don't force her to do what Yaner doesn't want to do. Otherwise, I, Xia Zhong, will be the first to refuse!"
"I don't agree either!" Charlotte suddenly got up. In the field, they want to make each other a tense posture.
"Reverse, reverse..." The black mole man shouted twice and left.
Behind the curtain of the side hall, Xia Ruoyan looked at the figure of her eldest brother and second brother. Silently. Water mist appeared in his eyes: "Brother Xiao, where the hell are you? Why don't you come to find a sample?
Ancient temple in the barren mountains. "The mountain wind makes the leaves rattle." With a crack, the wind blew open the rotten temple door. The straw on the ground blew up. Xiao Ran shrank his feet and sweated coldly.
"Yan'er..." Xiao Ran suddenly woke up from her dream, turned over and sat up, wiping her sweat. I still have a lingering mind when I think of the content of the dream.
"Yan'er won't believe these rumors." Xiao Ran comforted him in his heart.
These days, in order to avoid the pursuit of Jianghu masters. Xiao Ran didn't even dare to stay in the inn. Either the forest is a flashing and a broken temple. Sometimes we have to smear and rush the road. In this way, there are still three or four hundred miles away, and I don't know how many times I have encountered bandits and Jiangyang thieves. I even have to compete with the disciples of the beggar gang to rest,
Xiao Ran doesn't care about all this. He wants to clarify the whole thing: he was planted. Who is the murderer? Zheng's family? Prince or other forces? Xiao Ran knew nothing. All he knew was that a girl in the distance was waiting for him to come out to clarify all this. Zeng Jin, he is her most solid shoulder, and he has always been. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran no longer had the intention to sleep, sat cross-legged, and practiced his breath.
Due to the limitations of true internal force, the killer Dapeng and the golden python also lost their practice, and today's martial arts are not enough to protect themselves. Although I still have several martial arts secrets on hand, I can't use them at present. If you force yourself to practice, it will be too late, and if there is no one to teach you, there is a risk of going crazy. Xiao Ran is very clear that he has always relied on clever methods to fight with people. Although it has some results, he has no power to fight back when he meets a master who is far stronger than himself.
It's like using some means to be comparable to Murong Yunfeng's grand event, but Murong Yunfeng and Murong Yunfeng meet innate masters at the same time, Murong Yunfeng must have lasted longer than himself. All coincidences are vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. Xiao Ran has been ignoring this problem until now that he lost the help of Dapeng and the golden python.
The night was slightly cool, and the night light came in through the doors and windows. On the contrary, Xiao Ran's mind became clear: he had been escaping from the beginning to Jin Toad Island, and he was afraid of the feelings of his previous life, so he refused to accept Tang Wan. In order to escape the challenges of the martial arts people, he did not attend the celebration meeting. Even learning martial arts is the same. Lost steps are used to save lives. The best hidden weapon is still the long-range attack. In addition to gunboxing, close martial arts. There are very few other than the capture. When I met Xia Ruoyan, I knew that I might have nowhere to escape. What should you do when you have to face it?
Just smile for you, and I have nowhere to escape. Pull out the sword and cut the love silk, but the love silk gently wrapped around the fingertips. They are only suffering for the word love, claiming to be a chivalrous young hero. How much do you owe you for your children's love in your previous life?
The single attack method is a big defect, and Xiao Ran put several secrets in front of him. There are four books from left to right, and the far left is the lost and recovered Puppet Traction. Xiao Ran is familiar with it without bothering. If you want to practice kung fu, it is impossible to be effective without a few years. Besides, it's too troublesome to bring puppet props all the time. Xiao Ran just shook his head and put it down and picked up the secret book of the second red cover. The second secret was obtained at the underground trade fair of Tianji Palace, for which he also had a grudge against Zheng Yu.
But I also wanted to vent my anger for Xue Ling, and I didn't read it carefully. I just took a hasty look at the matter and knew that it was a secret book about acupuncture points. Now, except for the acupuncture points of the eight strange meridians, other branches are difficult to use. Even if you point in the acupuncture point, you will be forcibly washed away because of the lack of true qi. Xiao Ran looked at it for a long time and put it down.
