Chapter 61: Marriage
Dongfang Yaowu was followed by several strong men with big shoulders and round waists, each with horizontal eyebrows, Xin'er was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Senior brother, I don't know what I have done, I want to be detained...... Get back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" deliberately dragged out his tone, watching Dongfang Yaowu's reaction.
"Hmph, you saw the tragic death of your fellow disciple with your own eyes, and you escaped from the battle. I don't have a junior sister like you. ”
Xin'er was shocked, a disciple of the Dongfang family died in the tavern, and the news must have been transmitted back to the family, but what does this have to do with herself. But do you really want to be escorted back by them?
"Xin'er, you are here, the head of the family ordered me to take you back." Xin'er didn't expect Su Yun to come to the rescue, and her heart couldn't help but warm, looking at Su Yun's slightly red face, she must have rushed after learning that Dongfang Yaowu was going to embarrass herself.
Oriental Family, Council Chamber.
Dongfang Cangqiong sat on the top of the hall, the Great Elder was at the top of his right hand, and then there were several old men sitting down, and Xin'er didn't know him.
"Bold disciple, don't kneel down yet." The Great Elder took the lead.
Xin'er stood tall, neither humble nor arrogant in the center of the hall, with a faint smile between her eyebrows, but this smile made the Great Elder very displeased.
Xin'er just made a disciple salute and said, "Disciple Dongfang Xin'er, meet the head of the family and the elders." ”
Dongfang Cangqiong nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Tell me about today's tavern." ”
"Yes." Xin'er respectfully told the story of the matter, and there was nothing to hide, because there was nothing to hide.
"You are convicted of sin." Xin'er frowned, and said in her heart: The Great Elder's words are too ugly.
Xin'er lowered her gaze, hid the disgust in her eyes, and said, "The disciple doesn't know. ”
The Great Elder sneered: "If the same clan is in trouble, you stand by and watch, and you run away, which is equivalent to a traitor. ”
A hint of ridicule flashed in Xin'er's eyes, and she said in her heart: "It's really a crime to add to it, why bother!" If it were according to the Great Elder, my sin would have been great today. The Great Elder wants to relieve his son's hatred. After thinking about it again, he couldn't help but laugh: "Because of treating Su Yun, I seem to have offended the Great Elder." It seems that you really can't make too many enemies, and you can't even cultivate if you want to be calm. ”
"The disciple doesn't know when to escape?" Xin'er looked at the person in front of her calmly and said with a smile: "That senior brother took the initiative to challenge those two people, and there is a bet on him, how can I participate?" ”
"Nonsense, you don't know who those two are? They are ruthless black and white impermanence, you see them kill three people in a row, why don't you join your senior brother to help him, you are clearly not saving you when you see death, and retreat from the battle. ”
Xin'er smiled helplessly: "The disciple really doesn't know who those two are, even if he knows, I am only a little sixth order, how can I help the senior brother?" ”
"What a tooth! According to this, in the future, all of us in the Dongfang family will shrink their heads when they encounter a strong enemy like you. The Great Elder mocked, "Article 78 of our clan rules, family disciples must help each other, if they encounter a strong enemy, they will not be rescued, they will flee from the battle, and those who abandon their clansmen will be regarded as traitors and removed from the family tree." ”
Dongfang Xin'er is not familiar with any family rules, but she also knows that this family rule is used to restrain family disciples, just like the army, there is nothing wrong, but it is not applicable to all situations, if you are looking for death, do you want others to accompany you to the funeral? However, if you talk about this point again, it will not be beneficial to Xin'er.
Xin'er sighed slightly and said, "The Great Elder kept saying that I escaped from the battle, I don't know if there are any witnesses?" ”
The Great Elder just wanted to say something, but he heard Dongfang Yaowu stand up and say loudly: "I testify, I can see clearly outside the tavern. After speaking, he looked at Xin'er with a smug face.
The corners of Xin'er's mouth were slightly upturned, looking at the eldest elder's swollen purple face, she was in a good mood, and the other elders were also holding back a smile.
"Oh? Great Elder, it seems that it is not only me who will be removed, but also Dongfang Yaowu. The first day I entered the outer hall, I didn't know the clan rules, although I had no intention, but I violated the house rules, and I really should be punished. However, Dongfang Yaowu has been in this family for so many years, and he is very familiar with the family rules, but he doesn't know whether he commits it knowingly, whether the crime is added to the first degree. ”
Dongfang Yaowu also reacted at this time, he heard a report to him vigorously, saying that Dongfang Xin'er went to Qifeng Street alone, so he wanted to teach her a lesson, who wanted to see such a bloody scene outside the tavern, so he returned to the family, after the thin monkey heard about it, he came up with such an idea, it was very good, how did he finally wrap himself in.
For a while, I looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
"Great Elder, I don't know if I can listen to the younger generation." Su Yun walked out at this time and stood generously in the center of the hall.
"Say!"
"There is nothing wrong with what the family rules say, but this matter is first of all Senior Brother Ke's own behavior, he did not inform Xin'er and Yaowu, nor did they go together, because they did not abandon their companions; Moreover, the cultivation of black and white impermanence is profound, but the strength of Xin'er and Yaowu is not enough to save Senior Brother Ke, so they do not see death and do not save it. So, let's forget it. ”
These words made the Great Elder's face soften a little, and he said, "Since you and Dongfang Ke didn't go together, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Xin'er sneered: "I don't know Senior Brother Ke, how can I go with him." Furthermore, I think that what the clan rules refer to is that no matter what the situation, even if the clan is making mistakes, provoking, and looking for death, as long as I meet him, I should stand with him, make mistakes together, provoke together, and seek death together? ”
When he said this, the Great Elder's face was blue for a while, red for a while, and finally black as the bottom of a pot, at this time, if he said yes, then his son would be guilty of the same crime as her, if not, those words just now would be tantamount to self-incitement.
Dongfang Cangqiong said: "Don't talk nonsense, how can the clan rules mean so." The original intention of the clan rules is to unite the family and advance and retreat together in the face of strong enemies. Turning to the Great Elder, he said, "Let this be the end of this matter." It's just ......" raised his eyes to look at Xin'er and asked, "Before the black and white impermanence died, did you really talk about the five scattered people?" ”
"Yes." Xin'er nodded.
Dongfang Tianqiong and several elders present all had sad faces.
A guard entered from outside the door and said respectfully, "The head of the Qiqi family, Lord Ning beside the emperor asks to see you." ”
Dongfang Cangqiong's heart sank: Did the emperor also hear that the Wusan people were coming to Rongcheng?
At that moment, let Xin'er and a few juniors step aside, and invite Lord Ning into the hall.
"Dongfang family master, how are you doing?" As soon as Xin'er saw Lord Ning, she understood why the Eastern Sky attached so much importance to it, it turned out that Lord Ning was equivalent to an ancient eunuch and the closest person to the emperor.
"Thanks to the emperor's grace and Lord Ning's care, it's very good."
"That'll be fine." Lord Ning glanced at Xin'er's direction, and then said to the eastern firmament: "The contemptible people came here this time to congratulate the head of the family. ”
"Daoxi?" The eastern sky was stunned, and he didn't know why.
Lord Ning smiled, arched his hands, and said: "The emperor has decreed that he will marry your niece Dongfang Xin'er to the current prince, and the holy decree is here, I will not read it, you can ask the Dongfang girl to come out to receive the decree." ”
There was silence in the hall.
