Chapter 118: Eavesdropping
After thinking for a while, Yang Qiu patted Yuan Yizheng's shoulder and said, "Dad." Otherwise. We'll wait a few more days. ”
Yuan Yizheng nodded.
Yang Qiu felt that he might be thinking too much, even if he was a little dissatisfied with this result, he also accepted it. But after another three full days, he found that none of the subordinates sent out had returned, not even a single one to send a letter, Yang Qiu's heart was pinched again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
No way. Wu Chenjun wouldn't have been killed, would he? Otherwise, why would so many people have been out for more than ten days but there is no news?
In the end, Yang Qiu thought about it again and felt that it would be better to go out to confirm the situation in person, so he put forward this idea.
"No! Fei'er, you don't have any cultivation now, and you still have to go out, it's too dangerous. Our Yuan family has a lot of enemies outside, if those enemies are recognized, what will you do then?"
Yuan Yizheng immediately raised a strong objection.
"Daddy......"
Yang Qiu also wanted to persuade Yuan Yizheng again.
"Fei'er, don't say any more. Let Daddy figure it out. ”
But Yuan Yizheng was resolute, and after rejecting Yang Qiu, he contemplated and kept walking back and forth in the hall.
Seeing that Yuan Yizheng no longer paid attention to himself, Yang Qiu could only turn his mind again, think of other ways, and also contemplated deeply.
"That's right!"
At this time, suddenly Yuan Yizheng stopped. I saw Yuan Yizheng take a look at himself, and he instantly made up his mind and said, "Fei'er." Otherwise, let Dad find it for you himself. How?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Qiu immediately shook his head and refused without hesitation. Feeling that he already owed Yuan Yizheng too much, Yang Qiu really didn't want Yuan Yizheng to be in any danger, so after thinking about it, he vetoed Yuan Yizheng's proposal.
"No, I can't. Fei'er didn't want her dad to take risks. Just like Dad just said, there are many enemies outside our Yuan family, and it would be too dangerous for Dad to go out on an adventure in person. Fei'er is not at ease. Fei'er doesn't want her father to go out, if her father really wants to go out, there is only one way, let Fei'er accompany her father and leave the Yuan family together. ”
Seeing Yuan Yizheng looking at himself with tears in his eyes, his elderly body trembling slightly in the breeze, and his face was full of relief that could not be concealed, Yang Qiu knew that Yuan Yizheng would not go, so he immediately relieved himself and began to think of other ways.
"Fei'er, Dad's sentence to have you is worth it in this life. ”
But at this moment, there was a sudden sigh of Yuan Yizheng in his ears, Yang Qiu turned his head strangely, and found that Yuan Yizheng's face showed a look of determination to leave, and his heart suddenly jumped, knowing that it was not good, he quickly moved his body, wanting to stop Yuan Yizheng by force.
"Daddy!"
But it was too late. I saw Yuan Yizheng's body move, raised his finger to himself a little, and in an instant, Yuan Yizheng's body became blurry, becoming more and more unreal, at the same time, Yang Qiu also felt that his head was getting more and more dizzy, getting heavier and heavier, as if he had been hit hard by something, and a feeling of fainting suddenly surged into his heart like a tide.
"No, Dad, don't go!"
Yang Qiu desperately wanted to struggle, overcome this feeling with tenacious willpower, gritted his teeth, and roared unwillingly, but just shouted, Yang Qiu felt that all around him suddenly turned black, and his consciousness was getting weaker and weaker, which was not enough to support his thoughts, and he finally fell to the ground with a "poof".
"Fei'er, Dad is gone. Don't worry, Dad will definitely find Wu Chenjun for you, even if he can't personally bring him back to see Yang Qiu's little brother, he will definitely let Wu Chenjun come back. ”
Seeing that Yang Qiu was finally in a deep coma under his palm, a relieved smile appeared on Yuan Yizheng's face, and he was pleased that Yang Qiu could suddenly become so sensible in this short period of ten days, giving himself the satisfaction of being a father, and finally, he glanced at Yang Qiu silently, and Yuan Yizheng turned around, revealing a determined look.
Then, I saw a flying sword suddenly rush out of the bedroom in the backyard, turn into a white light, and fall in front of him.
"Huhuhuhuhu......"
But at this moment, I found that a strong wind suddenly blew outside the courtyard of the Yuan family, as the wind became stronger and stronger, the "boom boom" wind blew all the things in the courtyard of the Yuan family to the ground, and after the wind blew, there was an old man who looked like a eunuch and walked over without smiling, Yuan Yizheng's face suddenly changed, revealing a look of surprise.
"Father-in-law Cao. Why are you here?"
Recognizing that the person in front of him was very big, it was the imperial envoy who had come to inform him of the advance of the martial arts conference not long ago, Yuan Yizheng did not dare to slack off, and quickly suppressed what had just happened for the time being, showed a professional smile, opened his arms to meet him, and as soon as he approached the other party, he bowed his head and bowed his hand, and asked the other party anxiously.
This immediately surprised Yang Qiu, who had just woken up from a coma, Yang Qiu thought that he would be in a coma for a long time, and when he woke up, he was afraid that he would not be able to see Yuan Yizheng anymore, but he turned his head and found that Yuan Yizheng was still there, and his heart "banged", and he immediately became excited, grateful to God for giving him the opportunity to stop Yuan Yizheng, this storm came too timely.
However, finding that the wind dissipated and an old eunuch appeared, Yuan Yizheng greeted him respectfully as soon as he saw the other party, and his face changed, as if what had happened just now had not happened, Yang Qiu couldn't help but wonder who this old eunuch was.
So, out of the heart of inquiry, Yang Qiu did not jump up from the ground in a hurry, but turned his mind and chose to pretend that he was still unconscious, and eavesdropped on the conversation between Yuan Yizheng and the old eunuch with half-squinted eyes, hoping to hear some useful news from it.
Even if it didn't work, Yang Qiu felt that this might not be the wrong choice, at least it wouldn't be a bad choice. The disappearance of Wu Chenjun and the Yuan family has not yet been resolved, and Yang Qiu has no mind and does not want to get involved in other matters.
"Mr. Yuan. You know crooked. My old Cao must have come here for the martial arts competition. Otherwise, how could he come here in person, and just send some of his men. You're right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Grandpa Cao, you're right. I wonder what you're here specifically about?"
"Like last time, I'm here to inform you of the date. Didn't we decide that the last time we decided to start the competition was in January next year? Now that the date has been advanced again, the prince feels that it is too long to drag on the event until next year, so he has advanced the date of the event to the first of next month. In other words, your Yuan family still has a month to prepare. Mr. Yuan, you have to remember the time well, but don't forget it. ”
As soon as these words came out, a look of loss flashed on Yuan Yizheng's face, but it didn't last, and after a moment, I saw Yuan Yizheng take a deep breath and shake his head silently, Yuan Yizheng showed a smile, and instantly covered up the loss just now, looked at the eunuch in front of him, and bowed his hand respectfully again.
"Father-in-law Cao. That's what happened. You don't have to worry about that. You see, I didn't say that last time. My Fei'er is no longer a monk and is not eligible to participate in this competition. I still maintain the original choice, Gonggong Cao, please tell the prince about it, in this competition, our Yuan family abstained. ”
Yuan Yizheng felt that the top priority now was not the martial arts competition, although he was very unwilling to let his son abstain, and he had worked hard to train his son for so many years, just hoping that his son could fight for the Yuan family and revive the prestige of the Yuan family, but when he found that his son was secretly practicing magic skills, Yuan Yizheng understood that his hope was impossible to achieve.
Then, after Yuan Yizheng abolished his son's cultivation with his own hands, he knew this better, with his son's current strength, he didn't know if he could pass the first round, and continuing to let his son compete would only disgrace the Yuan family. In this case, it is better to abstain, in this case, it will make you lose your thoughts, even if it is a painful choice.
Of course, the more important reason is that Yuan Yizheng is worried about Yang Qiu's life, and it will be dangerous to compete with such a weak strength.
"Mr. Yuan. How many times do you want me to say, you'd better not abstain. If you abstain, I'm going to have a hard time. I had already explained to him last time on the prince's side, but the prince disagreed. If you abstain this time, I'm afraid I'll lose my head when I go back. ”
However, Yuan Yizheng didn't expect the eunuch to force himself, and as soon as his heart was hot, he had the idea of changing his mind, but his eyes swept and looked at Yang Qiu lying on the ground, and a flash of concern suddenly appeared on Yuan Yizheng's face, shook his head, and insisted on his own proposition and said, "Gonggong Cao." Don't persuade anymore. I have made up my mind, and we abstain from voting in this contest. ”
As soon as these words came out, the eunuch's face suddenly changed, and he originally looked at Yuan Yizheng with a kind face, but suddenly his face became hideous, and his eyes were cold.
Yuan Yizheng was stunned for a moment, glanced at the skin and flesh on the eunuch's face that twitched violently because of annoyance, and immediately understood what was going on, and quickly clasped his fists and bowed respectfully to the eunuch, apologizing, hoping that the other party would be angry.
"Gonggong Cao, please don't be angry. Actually, it's not that I want to abstain, it's that there's no way. Fei'er fell seriously ill not long ago, and now she can't participate in the competition.
As you know, this martial arts competition is a brawl with not very strict rules, and even those who have cultivated to participate in the competition may not be able to guarantee the safety of their lives, let alone Fei'er. I really don't want Fei'er to be in danger! I hope that you will have a large number of you, so let's abstain this time. ”
"Hmph! Yuan Yizheng, Yuan Yizheng! Don't give you a bad face, okay? Do you think you have a lot of face now? If you say you abstain, you will abstain? Other families with much higher status than you now don't have the courage and qualifications to abstain, but you insist on abstaining, I don't think you are trying to protect your son, but to embarrass me, right?
Yuan Yizheng, let me tell you the truth, the prince has decreed that no one can abstain from voting in this competition, especially your Yuan family. The family that once won the championship is now going to abstain, if I go back and sue the prince like this, what do you think the prince will think? The prince will say that the Yuan family looks down on the court that hosted the competition this time?
If this is the case, your Yuan family will be the enemy of the entire empire, you have to think about what the consequences will be. Are you going to participate, or are you not going to participate?"
However, seeing that the old eunuch Cao's face suddenly sank, and he shouted at himself with dissatisfaction, Yuan Yizheng's brows furrowed, his face suddenly looked ugly, and he felt embarrassed in his heart.
