Chapter Seventy-Four: Undercurrent 2
When Tie Xuan returned to the inn, he and Shuxiang went back to their rooms, although they didn't say much, but there seemed to be something extra between the two. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the evening, when Tie Xuan took the fragrance of books to the hall and just found a table to prepare for dinner, a very familiar voice suddenly came from his ears.
"Master Mo, I'm really full of anger today, so I don't have any appetite at all."
"What makes the third brother so angry, he doesn't even want to eat?" Seeing the comer, Tie Xuan immediately got up and greeted with a smile.
As soon as Tie Xuan moved, the scholar beside him also stood up, bowed his head to the person who came, and said, "Old Mo, third brother." ā
"Ah, Tie Xuan, scholarly, such a coincidence, I just came down to eat." Seeing Tie Xuan with a smile, Tie Xiaosan somehow suddenly became a little flickering in his eyes, and he reluctantly squeezed out a smile on his face.
"It's all here, that's right, let's eat together, sit down." Mo Zaiti smiled indifferently, his face was calm, but there was no special emotion to show.
Seeing the strange expression on Tie Xiaosan's face, Tie Xuan couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart, he didn't know why, but he still sat down according to Master Mo's words, and temporarily pressed down the confusion.
After the four of them sat down, Tie Xiaosan, who usually talks a lot, somehow became silent, and sat in his position without saying a word, just tapping the table with his fingers rhythmically, not knowing what to think.
And he didn't speak, Tie Xuan didn't know what to say, and Shuxiang was a maid who had just joined, let alone say anything, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a while.
At this moment, the shopkeeper appeared, bowed to everyone and said, "A few masters, I don't know what you want to eat, the little one immediately went to the kitchen to prepare." ā
"Just some home-cooked food, you look at it, everyone is hungry, just hurry up." Don't mention it again.
"Understood, wait a minute." The shopkeeper replied and left, coming and going faster, and seemed to sense that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between a few uncles who couldn't be provoked.
"Little San, you can tell Tie Xuan about today's matter, after all, this matter will still fall on him." After the second little man in the store served the food, he was silent for a long time, and he still didn't mention it again.
"Master Mo, aren't you embarrassed for me?" Tie Xiaosan looked embarrassed.
"If you want to say it, you can say it." Mo Zaiti just took a bite of food, and when he heard Tie Xiaosan's words, he immediately said with a cold face.
"Uh, okay, I'll just say that." Tie Xiaosan was obviously stunned by Mo Zaiti's expression, and although his face was reluctant, he still agreed.
And their conversation with each other, Tie Xuan on the side heard it clearly, and he couldn't help but wonder which one these two were singing.
Tie Xiaosan saw the puzzlement on Tie Xuan's face, and then sighed and said, "Alas, that's the case, Tie Xuan, didn't we go out to find that Tie Zhan today, you also know about it." ā
"I know, you told me on the way, didn't the old village chief and the new captain Tie Ming explain this matter together." Tie Xuan said, paused, and then had a flash of inspiration, guessing, "Could it be that he doesn't want to go back to the village?" ā
"Alas, if it's just that, if you refuse me directly, you don't have to worry about that idleness anymore, even if the old village chief and the captain blame me when I go back, I have nothing to complain about, after all, it's not good." Tie Xiaosan said with a frown.
"I didn't directly refuse, so did he put forward any harsh conditions to make you so embarrassed by the third brother?" Tie Xuan's mind was sensitive, and he had already heard some eyebrows from Tie Xiaosan's words, and immediately asked.
"He did make a condition, but ... But this ... Tie Xiaosan said half of his words, but he couldn't say the rest of the words, he lowered his head, and his face showed a look of great embarrassment.
"But, what's it, third brother, can't you talk a little more happily, such a mother-in-law doesn't look like you at all." Tie Xuan saw Tie Xiaosan's unspeakable appearance, and his heart suddenly became anxious, what is this said.
"Well, since you said so, then I'll be happy, he wants you to participate in this hunting conference." Tie Xiaosan held his breath and said, and as soon as he finished speaking, he let out a long breath of turbid air from his mouth.
"That's it, I thought something was making you so embarrassed, didn't you just participate in the hunting party, wouldn't it be over if I participated?" As soon as Tie Xuan heard Tie Xiaosan's words, he immediately smiled, and was a little unimpressed by Tie Xiaosan's fuss.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished saying this yet." Tie Xuan's words made Tie Xiaosan a little anxious, originally he was going to say something after brewing, after all, that would also give himself and the other party a buffer, but Tie Xuan's performance made him know that some things had to be said directly.
"Also, can you finish it in one breath, third brother, I always say that half is left and half is left, my little heart can't stand it." Tie Xuan quipped, but his face became solemn, for Tie Xiaosan's solemnity, he only felt at this moment that this matter did not seem to be what he imagined.
"Okay, don't interject, just listen to me." Looking at Tie Xuan's fearless appearance, Tie Xiaosan's face froze, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, and then said directly, "He not only wants you to participate in this hunting meeting, but also let his daughter Tie Wanqing also participate, and the two of you want to compete in this meeting, this is nothing, his daughter is just a cultivator of the Shengyuan Realm, not much better than you." But he also suggested that if you go to the hunt and don't finish in the top three, he won't go back with us, regardless of whether his daughter wins or loses. ā
"Hey, why is that, is it so important to him what position I get?" Hearing this, Tie Xuan was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked.
"You're wrong, in fact, he didn't target you, but your father, but your father wasn't that or something, he counted this account on your head, understand?" Tie Xiaosan was a little interested, and he couldn't say some things directly, so he could only say haha, but he believed that Tie Xuan should be able to understand the meaning of his words.
However, he was also afraid that Tie Xuan would pick on him, so before Tie Xuan could speak, Tie Xiaosan said again, "But you said that this person is true, although he was suppressed by your father back then, and later left the village because of the attribution of the captain's position, but this is also a grudge of the previous generation, but now he wants to settle the account on your head, do you say that this person is a little unreasonable." ā
He said this in his words, and he deliberately said it to Tie Xuan, the meaning is obvious, the cause of the matter is because of your father, so no matter how difficult it is, you should take over this matter as a son of man.
Tie Xuan's comprehension is extremely high, and his brain is naturally flexible, as soon as Tie Xiaosan's words are said, he understands what the other party means - the father and the son repay the debt.
It's just that Tie Xiaosan's words also made Tie Xuan fall into contemplation, because he didn't think that his missing cheap father didn't leave him anything, and he caused a lot of trouble, and he was already fed up with those cynicisms in the village, but he didn't expect that this time he came out to do things and actually involved him again, and he was really the master who couldn't stop even if he died.
"It's just that this iron war had a grudge with my father back then, can the third brother explain it in detail, I want to know a thing or two." After thinking about it, Tie Xuan understood that he actually had no reason to refuse at all, not to mention the care that Master Mo and the third brother took care of him, just for the sake of the village, he had no choice but not to do it. It's just that some things are done, but he doesn't want to be a fool, and he feels that he still has the right to know what twists and turns are hidden in this matter.
"Master Mo, why don't you tell me about this?" Tie Xuan's request was very reasonable, and Tie Xiaosan couldn't find any reason to refuse, let alone ask the other party at the moment, but this matter was done by him and Master Mo, so he couldn't let him bear everything, so he immediately started the idea of not mentioning it again.
It's just that Tie Xiaosan's idea is good, but don't mention what a shrewd person he is, how can he be at his mercy, and immediately laughed and scolded, "Xiaosan, your fart has made a start, I can still let you not let it go, let's talk about it, and eat well after speaking." ā
A joke, Mo Zai quietly handed over the right to speak back to Tie Xiaosan, it can be said that this Tai Chi kung fu is really clever.
And Tie Xiaosan didn't withdraw it at all when he heard Mo Zai's words, after all, with his cultivation, he didn't dare to mention it to Mo again, so he could only honestly explain the reason for this to Tie Xuan honestly.
It turned out that this Tie Zhan was still the elder brother of Tie Xuan's father Tie Yun, but Tie Zhan was not as good as his younger brother, so he was treated the same as Tie Xuan in the village.
And Tie Zhan, who grew up with cynicism, naturally has always had a strong desire to prove his ability to the villagers, so that he can get rid of his younger brother's shadow on him, so he wants to take over as the captain of his younger brother's hunting team after Tie Yun leaves.
Originally, it was a sure thing to become the captain with his strength and prestige, and the people in the village also thought that it was a good choice for Tie Yun's brother to take over, but they never thought that this matter was strongly opposed by Tie Yun. He thinks that his brother is too radical and is keen to solve everything by force, and is a very extreme violent element, so he has a clear attitude against him taking over the captaincy, and recommends Tie Zheng, who is more stable than aggressive, to take his place.
Tie Yun originally did this for two purposes, one was that he didn't want the people in the village to say that he was nepotistic, and the other was that Tiejia Village had just experienced a big war at that time, and he felt that he needed to recuperate for a while, so the position of captain at this time should be a steady and conservative person to serve as the best, not a radical violent element.
His intentions are good, but he ignores one thing, that is, Tie Zhan is not an attitude of understanding and support for him, but a mentality of wanting to get rid of him and highlight his self-worth.
So the conflict broke out, and after negotiations between all parties, finally under the auspices of Tie Yun, Tie Zhan and Tie Zheng had a duel on the martial arts training ground in the village, and the winner of them would get the position of captain.
As for the process of this duel, Tie Xiaosan didn't know how to skip it directly, anyway, the result was that Tie Zheng became the captain, and Tie Zhan left the village and sought another development until now.
When Tie Xuan listened to the ins and outs of Tie Xiaosan's mouth, he didn't know what to say about the father he had never met, it stands to reason that what he did was right, but he didn't expect that he would die so soon, and Tie Zheng also seemed to die a little early, so he left the problem to his son, who can be regarded as a 'pit father'.
