Chapter 109: Self-Determination
Han Xiaoyue was shackled by Sun Zhutou and taken to the mansion of the Taishou of Tanzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Taishou revealed his identity, it turned out that he was the initiator of the rebellion quelled by Han Xiaoyue back then, Li Renhan's father-in-law Yan Tangxi. After Li Renhan's rebellion was quelled, Han Tao and his son suggested eradicating the grass, and the emperor ordered Li Renhan's entire family to be wiped out, including Yan Tangxi's wife and daughter. This time, he specially brought Han Xiaoyue to avenge this annihilation.
Yan Tangxi said with tears in his eyes: "Han Xiaoyue, this time you fell into my hands, you will definitely avenge my family's blood and hatred!" Han Xiaoyue is carrying the "Sword Hua Benji" stunt at this moment, and it is not a problem to smash the shackles on her body. But seeing that this old man, even if he smashed the shackles, could he still kill him again? Although he has the identity of an "anti-thief," after many years, he does not know whether he can still be punished for the crimes he was charged with. If the whole family is wiped out, no one will hate to cramp and peel off the enemy.
Yan Tangxi saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he was frightened by himself, so he smiled and said: "Han Xiaoyue, death also makes you die clearly! I guess you are still wondering, how would an old man like me recognize that it was you? This is thanks to Sun Zhutou." And he brought back three of his envoys that day, and told me about your fight with them. Listen to his description, even if it feels very similar to you. Then, Yan Tangxi suddenly coughed violently, obviously not in good health. Sun Zhutou hammered his back and continued: "At that time, Lord Yan told me that if I saw you again, I would ask for your name and surname. If it's called Han Xiaoyue, I must bring you. Yan Tangxi added: "The old man came to the Tang Kingdom with humiliation, and he wanted to seek a small official position to survive this life. Unexpectedly, a year ago, Taishou died violently here, and the emperor appointed me to take over the position of Taishou. What I didn't expect was that Han Xiaoyue, you came!"
Han Xiaoyue said: "Lord Yan has a good memory! Over the years, my appearance has changed to some extent, and I can still be recognized just by dictation! However, the three 'envoys' in your mouth are not true, they are the fine works sent by the Song Kingdom!" Yan Tangxi laughed and said: "The old man doesn't care if they are real envoys, the old man cares about you!" said, got up and said, "Han Xiaoyue, when you and Han Tao wrote a letter to destroy my family, did you think that there would be today?"
Han Xiaoyue snorted and said, "War is already cruel, not to mention that you colluded with Li Renhan to rebel, it is even more unforgivable. If it were today, I would have written to ask for your death!" Yan Tangxi shouted after hearing this: "I don't repent! I wanted to arrest and kill both your father and son, but it seems that the old man will not live that day." Let's chop you into meat paste today, teach Han Tao to lose his son when he is old, and taste this painful feeling!" Han Xiaoyue snorted and said, "You can't wait for that day, my father has already sacrificed for the country!"
"You mean, Han Tao is dead?" Yan Tangxi listened, the muscles on his face began to become distorted, and he said in his mouth, "Good death...... Die well!" Han Xiaoyue saw that he first insulted his father, and then applauded his father's death, and immediately said ruthlessly: "Yan Tangxi, I wanted to keep you alive and teach you to be reluctant for a while, but I didn't expect you to speak so viciously, it is simply killable but not left!" Yan Tangxi stared at Han Xiaoyue and said: "It's late! Now that you are in my hands, I can't help you! Since Han Tao is dead, then the old man will send you to see him!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw more than a dozen warriors wearing heavy armor and holding sharp axes suddenly flash out from behind the screens on both sides. Yan Tangxi shouted: "This thief killed the envoy of the Dangxiang clan, and this official ordered him to be executed in order to avoid misunderstanding between the two countries!" Seeing this, Han Xiaoyue began to exert force on her hands and feet, and said in her mouth: "Yan Tangxi, I never felt that there was anything wrong with killing him Li Renhan's family. In addition, I am no longer the Han Xiaoyue of the past!" Sun Zhutou shook his head and said: "Murderous maniac, you still don't know how to repent when you die!
Han Xiaoyue let out a loud shout, and grabbed the ends of the shackles with both hands. Yan Tangxi was shocked at first when he saw this, and wanted to laugh at him for "not measuring his own strength", but before he could say anything, he saw Han Xiaoyue actually break the shackles in half with his bare hands. The chains on his hands and feet were also torn off by him, and his hands became weapons. This scene stunned Yan Tangxi and Sun Zhutou, Yan Tangxi opened his mouth in shock and said, "Han Xiaoyue, where did you learn this witchcraft?" Han Xiaoyue laughed and said, "I said it, I am no longer the Han Xiaoyue of the year!"
Yan Tangxi dodged backwards, Sun Zhutou blocked in front of him, stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Xiaoyue and said, "Han Xiaoyue, you murderous demon, do you want to go against the government?" Of course, Han Xiaoyue didn't want to hurt people, but Yan Tangxi pressed forward step by step, and also arranged a knife and axe hand in the hall to try to harm himself, so he shouted: "Yan Tangxi behind you is the murderous demon! Rebelling against the imperial court and harming the people, how many innocent lives have been poisoned by him? I originally thought that I was going to confront the matter of the three envoys, but I didn't expect to find out this old thing. It's okay to kill you, a thief, and it can be regarded as worthy of my father's spirit in the sky!"
Yan Tangxi hurriedly said: "Come on, this thief can be hacked to death!" As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen knife and axe men rushed up, and their blades slashed down. Han Xiaoyue jerked the chains in the air a few times, only to see the cold light shining above the hall, and the chains "rattling". More than a dozen sword and axe men couldn't get close to Han Xiaoyue at all, but they were beaten by him with iron chains and let out a scream. The cold light flashed so hard that Yan Tangxi couldn't open his eyes, so he had to cover his eyes with both hands. Sun Zhutou naturally had never seen such kung fu, and he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart. How did he know that the Heavenly Oath artifact played by Han Xiaoyue, coupled with the skill of "Sword Hua Benji", was enough to turn this hall upside down.
These dozen or so sword and axe hands were nothing in front of Han Xiaoyue, and they knocked all the warriors to the ground in less than half a pillar of incense. Han Xiaoyue had no grievances with them, so she didn't kill the killers, but only beat them to the ground and was powerless to fight back. The armor on these people's bodies was torn, and their faces were also deeply marked to varying degrees.
Seeing this, Sun Zhutou pulled out a long knife and said, "Han Xiaoyue, what crime should you be guilty of daring to roar into the hall and injuring the people of the government?" Han Xiaoyue held the chain tightly in his hand and said: "What the innkeeper said is wrong, it seems that you are not some kind of 'iron-faced judge', you are actually bewitched by this anti-thief, it is difficult to guarantee how many good people you have wronged! Sun Zhutou hurriedly raised his knife to block, but he couldn't match the strength of the chain, and he was shocked and flew out, and his whole body fell to the wall behind him. Fortunately, Yan Tangxi dodged in time, otherwise he would have been squeezed into a "meat patty" by this force.
Sun Zhutou closed his eyes and secretly shouted in his heart, "I will definitely die". But when he opened his eyes a moment later and got up from the ground, he found himself safe and sound. Han Xiaoyue wanted to put him to death, but in the end, he was bewitched by others, or his subordinates showed mercy. Sun Zhutou stood up from the ground and saw that what Han Xiaoyue did did not seem to be the person who was "vicious" and "big devil" as Yan Tangxi said. Not only did he save his life, but even none of the knife and axe hands died. "Could it be that I made the wrong decision...... " Thinking of this, Sun Zhutou was so ashamed in his heart that he threw the long knife on the ground, clenched his fists and said: "Thank you for the grace of life!"
Seeing this, Yan Tangxi pulled him and said, "Sun Zhutou, how do you want to thank this big devil?" Sun Zhutou pointed to the injured knife and axe hand on the ground and said: "Lord Yan, Han Xiaoyue is merciful to strangers like us, and he must be generous and benevolent. If these people hate to destroy your whole family, surely your husband has done something more than rebellion. Saying that, Sun Zhutou looked at Han Xiaoyue and said, "Han Xiaoyue, it seems that the reason why you want to destroy him must be a hardship." ”
"Sun Zhutou, you ...... Why do you want him to speak!" Yan Tangxi was speechless by him for a while. Sun Zhutou continued: "Lord Yan, Sun has been on duty here for more than ten years, and he will never judge the wrong case. Today, count me wrong! I don't think Han Xiaoyue is as vicious as you described to me, and almost made me kill a hero by mistake!" After saying that, he gave Han Xiaoyue a deep salute and said, "Han Xiaoyue, I won't ask about Lord Yan's affairs anymore. Farewell!" With that, he turned around and left from the back hall, and more than a dozen sword and axe men hurriedly left with him.
At this moment, only Han Xiaoyue and Yan Tangxi were left in the hall. Yan Tangxi saw that Han Xiaoyue's martial arts had increased greatly, and he was already so frightened that he collapsed in his seat. "Han Xiaoyue, I really didn't expect your kung fu to improve so quickly. It seems that if the old man wants to take revenge, it is difficult to climb to the sky!" Yan Tangxi said, slowly supporting himself and sitting down, tidying up his clothes. Han Xiaoyue shook the dust off her body and said, "Yan Tangxi, you could have lived for a long time, but you were obsessed, and you had to avenge a person who rebelled against the court many years ago, and you didn't hesitate to slander me and my father." In the end, he can only be his Li Renhan's funeral. I, Han Xiaoyue, hate betrayal the most, and I will never be soft on the thief!" he said, taking out the short knife from his arms and said, "Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to solve it?"
Yan Tangxi snorted and said, "Don't bother General Han to drive the ......" he said, took out the short knife from his arms, and said with a wry smile, "Li Renhan, Li Renhan, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will provoke the whole family to be killed, and the old man will be considered benevolent and righteous!" Yan Tangxi's body was crooked, and he fell to the ground and died.
Han Xiaoyue looked at his corpse, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart: "An old man who is over the age of six, and he can't take revenge and cut himself, it's really pitiful. And I'm no longer a 'General Han', so why bother with each other?" Thinking of this, Han Xiaoyue regretted it a little. He regretted saying those words that made Yan Tangxi have to judge himself, and he regretted that he had to hold on to his identity as an "anti-thief" after many years. In addition to the identity of the "anti-thief", Yan Tangxi is just a poor old man whose whole family has been killed.
Outside the door, the color of the moonlight became lighter and lighter, and a new sun slowly rose. Han Xiaoyue pushed open the door of the hall, and the sun shone on Yan Tangxi's corpse. Han Xiaoyue walked out and closed the hall door again, and he sat on the stone steps in the front yard, recalling the time when he put down the rebellion.
