71. Criticism
The old lady stood in front of the window for five days, and finally saw the figure of the fifth son, Yuan Qixi, in the yellow sand of Bianguan Town. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but no one expected that as soon as Yuan Qixi entered the house, the tea bowl in the old lady's hand smashed at his feet.
"Are you embarrassed to come back like this?" The old lady, who has a bit of fairy wind and bone charm on weekdays, not only spilled tea at his son's feet, but also jumped to his feet and scolded: "What about the child? What about my great-granddaughter? β
Yuan Qixi has lived so far, and it is the first time he has seen his father so excited. "Bang" knelt in front of the old lady, Yuan Qixi was ashamed: "It's the son who is useless." Father, don't be angry. β
"In order to keep the Yuan family, Rou Zhi did not hesitate to marry the royal family as a side concubine, but her children who have not yet reached the end of her life are still suffering in a foreign country, why don't you make me angry, how can I have the face to see Rou Zhi!" The old lady's beard trembled, but she lowered her voice the whole time and said, "It's been almost a year." A year's time is the thing that leads to heaven, and with the help of the family, it can be improved. Why is it so hard for me to even look at my great-granddaughter before I die? β
Looking at the old father in front of him, who was already in his last years, thinking of Liu Ting's current days in Tiele, a man like Rao is Yuan Qixi was not only red-eyed. Kneeling on the ground, he raised his head slightly, and said in a choked voice: "Father, don't worry, my son will go to ask for the other six families." gathered the loyal people of the seven families together, and they could always snatch Liu Ting back. β
Yuan Qixi is right, the seven families are always accompanied by loyal practitioners. Although there are not many of these practitioners who come here with martial arts, there are only six of them in the Qu Pass Ding clan, but they are extremely loyal to the family. Either they had ambitions to go along with the royal family, or their lords had been convicted by the imperial court, so they had to find another way to plan for it. In Dawu, who is "not the king's land under the whole world", their only choice is to keep a distance from the royal family and have their own plans.
Because they know that the royal family is afraid of the world, the Qimen family will not keep too many people with art by their side. After a long period of observation and understanding, the head of the family will selectively keep the righteous people who come to join him. For these Lian family sons who had to defect or needed help to rehabilitate their original owners, the family called them "loyal soldiers".
Unfortunately, the number of loyal men in each household is limited. To save an individual outside the fortress, it is obviously useless to rely on the power of one family. Only by bringing together the loyal members of the Seven Families can it be possible. The problem is that since the founding of Dacheng, although the Seven Families have secretly interacted, they have never joined forces again. Uniting the other six households, and no matter how much time it will take to make this happen, I don't know how much time it will take, just
Nodding and agreeing is even more difficult.
You must know that the Seven Sects family once secretly helped Wu Gaozu to succeed, how could they not know the truth of "flying birds and hiding their bows"? Since the founding of the Great Wu Dynasty, the Seven Families have chosen Taoguang to raise obscurity. During the reign of the first two emperors of Great Wu, Gaozu and Empress, not only did the family not have any children, but also cut off all contact on the surface. Until now, the Qimen family still maintains a warm relationship of "competing with each other internally and supporting it externally". What is the reason to move the other six to ignore the liquidation risk of the Son of Heaven? You can't tell them Liu Ting's life experience, so that Liu Ting just got out of the tiger's den and entered the family's wolf's den, right?
Whether it is Yuan Qixi or Yuan Huaiyong, they are all members of the family, and they know the essence of the family too well. However, the Yuan family is the weakest existence among the seven sects. If Liu Ting falls into the hands of any family, it will be difficult for the Yuan family to protect her, let alone the people of the Six Gates? The family that regards the life and death of the family will take care of the orthodox royal descendants wholeheartedly, and Yuan Huaiyong doesn't believe it even if he has a stroke! He knew that once Liu Ting's background was exposed, she would inevitably become a pawn.
Moreover, the family has never had military power, and it does not want to be tainted with military power. If it weren't for the complete cleanliness of the troops, how could they escape the reckoning of the Son of Heaven? Devoted the strength of the seven gates to rescue people from outside the fortress, and it was impossible for them to conceal their whereabouts. In this way, not only will the family's hidden forces be exposed, but the court will also find out the identity of the rescued. After all the twists and turns, it was easier for Liu Ting's life experience to be learned by the emperor, and it was better to ask the emperor for help directly. At least, the emperor has the power of the army, and a military letter and a military talisman can send the army out of the fortress to save people.
However, Emperor Tianhe was already deeply disturbed by the "orthodoxy", how could he tolerate a Liu Ting who was born orthodox and had more rights to inherit the throne than himself? Knowing that the crown prince Sun Yuan still has descendants left in the world, the ultimate goal of Emperor Tianhe will only send troops will only make Liu Ting disappear into the world!
In short, to protect Liu Ting, no one in the Yuan family can count on it!
Yuan Huaiyong let out a long sigh, sat on the soft couch in frustration and waved his hands repeatedly. Because of his old age and frailty, he was too excited and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time. Fortunately, he still has an old man by his side who has been with him for decades.
Lao Ding, who had just come out of the fright, helped the old lady caress his chest, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't worry, old lady, the fifth master can't help it." In that foreign land, how many elite soldiers sent by the emperor did not fall well? is an emperor like the Wuhan Emperor, who only gets to see him once in a thousand years, and he only cares about escaping from foreign countries, but he can't solve the problem of long-term internal friction. Didn't you also sigh that 'the world has seen Emperor Wu's prestige far and wide, but deliberately forgot the traces of Emperor Wu's death in his twilight years'? Emperor Wu has a hard time punishing foreign countries, not to mention our fifth master? β
The old lady's face softened a lot, but she was still speechless, and she didn't signal Yuan Qixi to get up. Lao Lao Ding had no choice but to turn sideways and give the other two practitioners a look.
How could two people who had been in the border town for more than ten years not understand the difficulty of being in a foreign country?
One said: "Even the words spoken in the bitter cold land outside the Seychelles are different from ours, and it is difficult to ask for directions." β
One hastened to add: "Even if people like us fall into a foreign land, most of them will starve to death on the roadβthat kind of place is so desolate that it is difficult to know the way." β
Yuan Huaiyong, who has eaten for more than 70 years and has dealt with the family of the other six families for many years, how can he not know how powerless he is in a foreign country? He understood early on how difficult it was to talk peacefully and find the person he was looking for in a place where he had no relatives and even said different words. But he couldn't help but harden his heart and criticize the five sons.
First, harsh criticism can make the son dare not slack off in the slightest; Second, the old lady knew that his days would not be too much, and he wanted to fight for the last time to complete this matter.
Liu Ting is a noble daughter of the royal family, but it is very likely to become the source of the disaster. The old lady came with a handful of old bones, and he didn't plan to go back alive - he didn't want anyone else in the Yuan family to get involved in this matter, and the best way was to still finish it himself.
