Chapter 35: The Showdown
That can only be, Nightshade!
Du Heng stood there, the expression on his face frozen. Quan Hui was frightened by Du Heng's appearance and kept beckoning him, but Du Heng's soul seemed to be no longer in his body, no matter how Quan Hui screamed, he couldn't come back to his senses.
Mu Yu said that day that she didn't know what the gift was, and said that she couldn't understand what I said, it turned out that she wasn't pretending, she really didn't know! I'm wrong for her! Then why did she marry Qu Laodi? Wasn't she voluntary? I questioned her that night, calling her "Mrs. Qu" one by one, how painful she must be......
Du Heng only felt a bang in his head, and the sky was spinning in front of him, and he almost couldn't stand steadily. He ignored Quan Hui's loud cry and hurriedly turned around and flew towards Xisu's room.
The furnishings in the room are simple, only a couch, a bookcase and a few bookshelves, and nothing else. As far as Du Heng could see, he couldn't see anything abnormal.
Du Heng closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and sensed quietly. Suddenly, he felt that the bottom of the bookcase seemed to be a little different from the surroundings.
He jerked his hand up, only to hear a click, and the floor under the bookcase suddenly lifted, and a pile of yellow letter paper flew out.
Du Heng grabbed a few of them casually, and his face instantly turned black no longer.
These letterheads are actually correspondence between the Du family and the Qu family. Du Ruo's letter didn't mention a word about his question about Mu Yu's situation, but just repeated the same few sentences, saying how happy he was. All of Yuyang's letters are here, and not a single one has been sent!
Quan Hui had just arrived, she picked up a letter casually, and exclaimed, "Sister Fang, is this what Brother Yuyang wrote to Sister Ruo?" Why are they all here? ”
"Because my Du family has a good national teacher!" Du Heng suddenly laughed, his laughter was cold and harsh.
Quan Hui felt a little creepy.
Suddenly, a little disciple ran in and said, "Sovereign, the national teacher is back!" ”
"Just in time to come back! Let him go directly to the main hall and say that I have something to look for him. ”
The little disciple answered and ran out.
In the hall, Xisu stood in the center, holding a lotus fan in his hand, looking at Du Heng standing on it with a smile. Du Heng also smiled at Xisu, as if looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.
The two looked at each other for nearly half an hour, and neither of them spoke first.
Quan Hui felt the tension of the atmosphere, she secretly rubbed her fingertips, wanted to go but didn't dare to go, for fear that if she moved, she would destroy this temporarily stable energy field, and the two of them would fight.
Du Hengxin said, this old snake spirit, if I don't speak, he won't speak, if I take a step, he is afraid that there are ten thousand steps waiting for me.
"Since I came back from Liubo Mountain, I have been busy with affairs, and I haven't had time to talk to the national teacher. I don't know how my family is in the past few years when I'm away? Du Heng spoke first.
"In the past few years of the monarch's absence, everything has been fine at home." Yusu said with a smile.
"Oh? After the national teacher sent Ah Ruo away, did he ever write a letter to Shan Hu? ”
"Of course, it was written, but it didn't mention anything important in that reply. In those years, Ganzao was often harassed by foreign enemies, and it was very hard for the little brother to lead his disciples to fight, so the old man did not bother the little brother with the little thing of getting the letter back. ”
Du Heng sneered in his heart. This old snake spirit was afraid that he had already guessed that Yuyang would mention the reply to me, so he had already thought of a rhetoric.
"Oh? Then Yuyang asked Ah Ruo in the letter, why didn't he mention anything about Mu Yu in Ah Ruo's reply? ”
"The little brother also wrote a letter to the second young master? The old man didn't know this. Yujuku was still smiling.
Hmph, still pretending? I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!
Du Heng hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, shook it off in front of Xisu, and said, "You old man, open your eyes and see, what is this?" ”
Xisu opened his little eyes, looked at the letterhead, then narrowed again, and said with a smile: "The monarch is making fun of the old man, there is nothing on this paper." ”
Du Heng was shocked, he took back the letter paper and looked carefully, only to see that the letter from Yuyang was blank, and there was not even half a word shadow!
He flipped his palm and shattered the piece of paper.
Okay, you old snake spirit, did you expect that I would go to your room and dig out these papers? You cast a spell on this paper, and the words on it will soon disappear when they see the light. And you didn't destroy these letters directly, but kept them until I came to find out, and confronted you face to face, so that I might make a fool of myself. Oh, even if you have assisted several generations of monarchs, you will inevitably ignore me too much!
Yujuku still maintained a smiling expression, neither mockery nor anger.
Du Heng quickly recovered his previous demeanor and said lightly: "Where has the national teacher gone on this trip?" ”
"The old man was about to report this matter to the monarch," Xisu took out a red note from his sleeve, "The old man went to Zhaoyao Yun's house this time to ask for a kiss for the monarch." Yun Beihuai, the head of the Yun family, has agreed to marry the Du family, and will marry the eldest lady Yun Minglang in the near future. ”
"Asking for a kiss?" Du Heng narrowed his eyes, "When did I agree to you going to the Yun family to ask for a kiss?" ”
"These little things don't need to be said by the monarch. Before leaving, the old monarch had instructed the old man to go to the Yun family to ask for relatives in person, which was also the old monarch's last wish," Xisu stepped forward and handed the red note to Du Heng, and then retreated, "The old man knows that if he asks the monarch in advance, the monarch will definitely not agree." But if the old man wanted to go against the old monarch's wishes, the old man couldn't, so he went to Zhaoyao Mountain on his own initiative. ”
Du Heng sneered and said: "The national teacher has good means, it seems that I, a living monarch, can't compare to a word from a deceased monarch." ”
Xisu bowed and said with a smile: "Where did the monarch say, the monarch is still young, and many things are still not in a good direction. The old man is also thinking about the future of the monarch and the future of the Du family. ”
"Heh, think about me, for the sake of the Du family," Du Heng walked off the high platform with his hands behind his back, "In your eyes, I am afraid that the future of my Du family will not tolerate a mortal." So you took advantage of my absence to drive Mu Yu away, didn't you?! ”
The monarch laughed again, "Xisu's expression was as usual, "Miss Muyu called the second son of Qu to pick it up by herself, and the acacia flower and the jade huang are all evidence." On the day the monarch returned to the mountain, the old man had already made it clear to the monarch, why did the monarch always hold on to this matter? ”
"You said that Yuhuang was thrown into the altar by Mu Yu, so how did she go up?"
"Naturally, I went up by ladder, didn't the monarch take Miss Muyu to Wanghuai Tower before? With the wisdom of Miss Muyu, after using it once, she knew how to operate the elevator. ”
Du Heng smiled and said, "It seems that you really don't know." ”
Yusu said: "What do you know? ”
"The elevator recognizes the owner, and the non-Du family can't move it at all!"
Xisu rolled his eyes and said, "Sovereign, are you cheating on the old man?" ”
"Heh, I lied to you? You old fox, you can't see that others are cheating you? Du Heng pointed at Quan Hui, "You are afraid that I will deceive you, then you ask her!" ”
The fox looked suspiciously at Quan Hui's innocent face.
Quan Hui didn't expect Du Heng to suddenly pull herself in, startled, looked at Xisu's scheming face blankly, and nodded.
Yujuku's face changed color. He knelt down with a thud and said in a trembling voice: "The old man knows what the monarch is thinking, but the truth is really not like that. Since the old man has given Yuhuang to Miss Muyu, there is no reason to come back! ”
"You said that Yuhuang was not thrown on the altar by you, so Mu Yu was always driven away by you, right?"
"Ask the monarch for forgiveness!" Xisu kowtowed, "Now, the old man has made a real deal with the monarch." The second son of Qu has never been to Ganzao, it was the old man who told Miss Muyu that mortals can't enter the fairy gate, and her marriage into Ganzao will do all kinds of harm to the monarch. Miss Muyu couldn't bear to delay the monarch's future, so she left on her own. And the long acacia knot was actually cut by the old man who forced the girl to cut it, just to break the monarch's thoughts. But that Yuhuang really has nothing to do with the old man! The old man assisted the nine generations of the Du family, and he has always done his best, never half-heartedly. What endangers the Du family, the old man can't do it! There must be another person with advanced cultivation, who went directly to Wanghuai Tower without taking the ladder and threw Yuhuang on the altar! ”
"Someone else?" Du Heng slowly circled around Xisu, "Among these sweet dates, are there any people taller than you?" ”
"This ......" Xisu sweated on his forehead, "Isn't Miss Muyu mortal......"
"Fart!" Du Heng shouted, "You old slippery head, in order to clean yourself, you can even say such ridiculous words." You have lived for so many years in vain, and you have read countless people, can't you tell if Mu Yu is a mortal?! ”
Yusu was speechless, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen.
Du Heng sneered: "In order to prevent me from marrying Mu Yu, you lied to me that Mu Yu was taken away by Qu Jichao, and it was also detained along with Ah Ruo's letter." You didn't take a closer look at those letters when you withheld them, was there anything unusual in them?! The content of each letter is almost identical, haven't you noticed it?! Can't you even see such an obvious distress signal?! You almost killed Ah Ruo, do you know?!! ”
Xisu's face was like ashes, and he muttered: "Nothing can hinder the great cause of the monarch, and nothing can hinder the future of the Du family." ”
"Heh, the future of the Du family, I think it's your own future!" Du Heng threw the red note in front of Xisu, "I don't want this family matter, let's retreat." ”
"You can't go back! Monarch! Xisu trembled and held the red note with both hands, "Marrying with the Yun family is a great opportunity to consolidate the status of the Du family, and besides, this is the last wish of the old monarch......"
"You don't use your father as a shield!" Du Heng flicked his sleeves fiercely, "Obviously, you yourself have a friendship with Yun Bei, then the daughter of the Yun family married me, and you are the middleman who protects the media." After the deed is done, both ends are indispensable to your benefits. Do you think I don't know your little abacus? Do you think that in this world, except for you, everyone is stupid?! ”
Du Heng took a deep breath, exhaled tremblingly, and said, "Get out, there will be no one like you in the Du family in the future." ”
Xisu was struck by lightning, stayed for a long time, and said, "Jun...... Monarch...... The old man is all for the Du family and for the sweet dates...... You can't ......"
Du Heng waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, "I don't want to tell you a second time." ”
The monarch has the right to expel any member of the family, saying nothing or so. Even family heroes, even family relatives, are no exception.
The old tears are rampant.
He kowtowed heavily to the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Du Heng sat on the steps of the high platform, his eyes were empty, and he looked out of the hall. Quan Hui walked over lightly and sat beside him, without saying a word.
The two sat for a long time, and Du Heng suddenly felt a chill in his chest. He touched his chest and found that the soul bottle hanging around his neck had become a little cold.
Oh no, isn't it that Yuyang's body has no soul attached to it for a long time, and it is about to turn into its original form?!
