......

The Murong family members who were kneeling around had all stood up, their eyes were fierce, and their hands were holding white blades, although they were all different, they were all completely bright.

Jiang Fei was stunned, he was stunned not because of the Murong family around him, but because of the anger of the housekeeper Xie, he never thought that someone would do something unbelievable for such a reason.

He didn't know if Murong Lie couldn't help himself?

Is life and liberty important, or is status and power important?

Of course, Steward Xie knew this, and made a choice, perhaps a long time ago.

When was the choice decided?

I probably remember that when he was a slave in his childhood, when the fierce leather whip was mercilessly whipped on him, his gaze at that time was not much different from now.

It's just that at that time, he could only turn his back to others and show such a gaze, and the ruthless leather whip had become a shadow, a desire, which kept whipping him in the depths of his heart all the time, whipping him to a road.

A path from which there is no turning back.

At the beginning, Murong Lie was not a general, let alone a ruling Jinwu, but just a small adjutant.

At that time, his ambition was unfulfilled, and when he was walking on the desolate ancient road on the border, he suddenly saw his own shadow.

The sun is high and the shadows are small.

He could hardly look at it with his eyes, but the moment he looked down, he found that the shadow was suddenly much larger.

He felt a gaze, a stubborn, stubborn gaze that came from the eyes of a teenager.

Is it the young man's self-ferocious gaze that illuminates his shadow?

The boy was not a horse, but he was pulling a strangely shaped carriage.

It's not so much a carriage as a seat with a wheel.

On the carriage sat a man with a monkey's cheeks and a beard, and the whip in his hand was raised from time to time, out of the sun, like a poisonous snake out of a hole, and struck the young man's scarred back fiercely.

The young man's teeth were bleeding, and he would never forget until he died, and the whip that was whipped on him was in the hands of a man named Tsuruhaki.

That was the first time Murong Lie met Crane Feather Machine, and it was also the last time the teenager met.

Murong Lie ransomed the boy and brought him home, naming him Xie Hong.

Why is it called Xie Hong?

Because Murong Lie's move attracted attention, it exploded instantly after it was transmitted to the army, and the general was surprised when he heard it, and he actually promoted him one after another.

Therefore, Murong Lie was quite grateful for meeting this young man and letting him take the lead.

When Murong Lie redeemed Xie Hong at that time, he did not spend the treasure, but exchanged a condition with the Crane Feather Machine.

No one knows what the specific conditions are, not even Xie Hong.

Heyuji has said to Xie Hong more than once: I beat you, just to remind you not to forget to move forward, keep moving forward, as long as you don't look back, you will go farther and farther. Someday, you will understand, and when that time comes, you will be grateful to me!

Not long ago, Murong Lie was canonized as General Shengwei, and Xie Hong's worth doubled, and he was prominent for a while, and his scenery was infinite.

Everywhere he went, there were people who praised him respectfully, people who received him politely, and people who talked and laughed happily with him.

At that time, he suddenly wanted to be grateful to Tsuruhaji, although he still hated it, but it didn't affect this flash of gratitude.

Now, he has nothing left, only the lingering leather whip, mercilessly spurring him: don't forget to move forward, never look back!

He suddenly felt that compared to the leather whip of the crane feather machine, Murong Lie's decision made him hurt more to the bone marrow.

Everything that used to be is gone, and there are only countless cynicisms on the street, ubiquitous fingering, and teasing that can be heard at any time.

Those sharp words and deeds were more like countless high-raised leather whips, coldly and mercilessly whipping at his increasingly muddy soul.

The splashed filth insulted the vanity of the past, and he took all his resentment out of Murong Lie.

......

......

"Why did you make such a decision?"

Steward Xie stared fiercely at the cold jade coffin in the hall and said angrily.

Jiang Fei's hands were dripping with cold sweat, it can be imagined how dangerous Fang Cai's situation is, Xie Guan is suspicious, and the surrounding Murong family is all his ambushed thugs, except for the deep young man with a clear conscience.

His name is Gu Kong, and he is the head of the Murong family, and he has always paid more attention to her because he loves Mulan'er.

One sunset evening, he found Lan'er and Steward Xie having a verbal altercation and arguing fiercely by the railing of the courtyard behind.

After a while, Steward Xie held back his face flushed with anger and threw his sleeves away.

Early the next morning, he found Lan'er hanging herself in her room.

Her death was very sudden, Gu Kong felt that the sky was dark, and his liver and intestines were broken, and he was extremely suspicious of Steward Xie, so he secretly followed him and found that he had been in and out recently, and often interacted with some strange and strange people.

Many people have disappeared inexplicably in the family, and anyone who does not obey Steward Xie will end up like this.

Gu Kong couldn't bear it, made compromises, discovered Steward Xie's wolf ambitions and shocking conspiracy, and always wanted to avenge Lan'er but couldn't do it, and finally waited until today.

His chance came.

Gu Kong trembled and pointed at Steward Xie, and shouted loudly: "This wolf-hearted thing! first forced Lan'er to send a message to recruit Miss back, but Lan'er refused, he was afraid that his deeds would be lost, so he killed her, and then forged Lan'er's handwriting and passed it on to Miss!"

"And quickly hold a funeral, the purpose of this bastard is to make everyone believe that the head of the Murong family is really dead, and then trick the young lady into transferring the assets of the Murong family to his name, or do nothing, and kill people directly!"

It turned out that this funeral was actually a hoax.

Jiang Fei gritted his teeth, feeling extremely hateful, Steward Xie had followed the Murong family for many years, and he actually took revenge.

"That's right!"

Xie Hong was fierce, his eyes burst with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Since I dare to hold a funeral, of course I know his ......"

Before he finished speaking, a gray light suddenly lit up, and Xie Hong's body flew out upside down in an instant, smashing heavily on the ground, and dark blood gushed out from the seven orifices, just like his unquenchable desire.

The man who struck the shot was the man in the gray cloak, and after he had lost a life, he was not moved, but stood there as if nothing had happened, his eyes cold like an erected blade.

No one could even see how he made his hand and what kind of moves he used, only to see him gently lower his hand and withdraw his cloak.

Even Jiang Fei didn't see it clearly, but it was certain that it was the hand of the man in his gray cloak, because the cold aura of the attack was the same as his.

When the surrounding Murong family members saw Xie Hong fall to the ground and die, their eyes were shocked, their faces were pale, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

The fifth prince looked at the man in the cloak with a slight horizontal gaze, and said, "He still has the value of torture, you shouldn't be so anxious." ”

The man in the cloak seemed to nod, and returned to his cold appearance, like ice cubes frozen in the water, with some movement, and light and shadow, which had little to do with him.

Jiang Feiqing's eyes flickered, he felt that this man in cloak was more peculiar, not like an ordinary person, etc., and turned his eyes to look at the other entourage of the five princes, although they were all extraordinary, but their temperament was relatively easy-going, not so cold.

Murong Feiqing couldn't accept this sudden change for a while, and her stormy eyes were mixed with lightning and thunder, and she was at a loss for what to do, and she froze in place.

Jiang Fei was beside him, caressing her weak shoulders when he saw this, and clenched her cold slender hand with one hand.

"Remembering that you are not the mastermind and have been persecuted, now you can lay down your weapons and be dealt with lightly. ”

The five princes looked majestic, and inspected the surrounding Murong family, they were originally a plate of loose sand, and now the leading Steward Xie has corrected the law on the spot, so he didn't dare to disobey, and he threw the blades in his hands to the ground in silence, as sharp as getting rid of a mess of trouble.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Xie Hong originally didn't have the courage to rebel, it was all because of his secret collusion with the Shantai family that he is today, and many of these people are disguised by the people of the Shantai family. ”

Gu Kong pointed to the Murong family whose arrogance had subsided, and said in a deep voice.

"I see, all of them will be taken down for interrogation!"

The fifth prince's eyebrows sank slightly, and he waved his hand to order.

Jiang Fei's heart was shocked, and he asked Gu Kong, "Is the clothes in the ice coffin true?"

Gu Kong said: "The clothes are indeed the head of the Murong family, but they were found by Xie Hong in the mansion and placed in the coffin, not salvaged in the water. ”

"Do you know where he went on his last trip?" Jiang Fei asked.

Gu Kong said: "This Xie Hong is not talking nonsense, it is Luoyue Lake." ”
