Chapter 14: Two Paths

"Be quiet, if you live to be the Wang family, you will also bring the family into the abyss." Wang Xu frowned and reprimanded, "Listen to me, if I only have one person, I am naturally willing to help you, but you also see that I have so many clansmen." ”

"Within the sphere of influence of my Wang family, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing! Splendor! Wang Li said with an oath.

"Shut up, your family is about to hand over the rights in your hands, and when the time comes, you will live with your father and son's fortune?" Wang Xu sneered.

"What's wrong? Two thousand stones is not enough for you to eat! Wang Li said dissatisfied.

"Your family should have a secret word or a way to communicate with each other." Wang Xu asked.

Wang Li nodded, "What are you going to do?" ”

"We'll stay here for a week at most, and then we'll have to move somewhere else." Wang Xu said.

"Where to move? Yan Kingdom is now at war everywhere. Wang Li wondered.

"Northeast." Wang Xu said.

"Are you crazy? It's already off the beaten track, and beyond that it's a real wilderness! Wang Li said with wide eyes.

"When Zhou destroyed Shang, King Wu admired the benevolence of Shang Jizi, asked him for the virtue of governing people, and then released Jizi to migrate to the northeast, according to the records of the Guzhu country, and then to the northeast, there are also people, at least the descendants of Jizi live there." Wang Xu said.

"That's also a wild land, and the people of Dongyi can also be called people?" Wang Li scoffed.

Wang Xu rolled his eyes, and wanted to tell him that you Qin people are also descendants of the Dongyi lineage, especially the ancestor of their Qin kings, who are likely to be the seventh monarch of the Shang Dynasty, the descendants of Wang Hai, and the Dongyi in his mouth are from the same origin.

"The reason why people are called people is because they understand human ethics and human feelings, and these things are all to be educated." Wang Xu waved his hand, "Give you two choices, leave you enough food here and wait for your father to come to you, before winter, the Yan Kingdom will definitely be destroyed." ”

"If you want to kill me, I'll just say it." Wang Li rolled his eyes.

"The second is to leave a message here, and then migrate with us, and when I settle down, I will take you back to the Central Plains, at most a year." Wang Xu smiled and glanced at the Tushan lady next to him.

Just now I deliberately mentioned 'Yan Guo annihilating the country', just to test her reaction, sure enough, hearing these four words, she almost scratched her hand, which is a rare mistake for a carpenter, and it must be a reaction that will only have to be affected by a huge impact.

"Do I have any other choice?" Wang Li sighed.

"The choice is yours." Wang Xu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Go back to sleep and give me an answer tomorrow." ”

"If I choose the second one, is there any way for you to solve the difficulties of my Wang family?" Wang Lizheng said.

"I can't promise anything." Wang Xu shook his head.

"It's enough to have your words." Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief and limped towards the stone house.

After Wang left, the sound of Tu Shan's lady sawing wood became louder and louder, and even a little noisy.

But from the sound of sawing wood, she seemed to be a little nervous, resulting in uneven force.

"Don't rush it, you've done enough today." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"The emperor's kindness, Tu Shan's family has nothing to repay, and can only repay Jun's grace with crude craftsmanship." Tu Shan said respectfully.

"Does the dumb have a name?" Wang Xu asked as if he were talking nonsense.

Tu Shan's mother was obviously stiff, nervously stopped the movements of her hands, and had a stiff smile on her face, "His father died early, and there is no scholar in the family, he has been called dumb since he was a child, and he has no name." ”

"yes, it's not easy for you to pull the dumb child." Wang Xu smiled, "But with your craft, you will be hired as a craftsman anywhere, why didn't you think about handing over your craftsmanship to him?" ”

Tu Shan Niangzi rubbed her hands with a sneer, and continued to pick up the sapper shovel, "That child is naturally dull, and he can't endure hardship. ”

Wang Xu smiled: "Stupid? I think dumb people are very smart. ”

Tu Shan's body stiffened, and she looked at Wang Xu in surprise, her eyes flashing with panic.

"Why don't you let him follow me?" Wang Xu said with a smile.

"The emperor raises love, and the stupidity of the son of evil will collide with you!" Tu Shan Niangzi knelt on the ground in horror.

"I just casually mentioned why you reacted so much." Wang Xu chuckled and helped her up, "If you don't want to, I won't force it." ”

"The Great Emperor is the honor of the gods, but the blessing of the son is shallow." Tu Shan Niangzi was obviously relieved.

Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, turning to leave.

After Wang Xu returned to the stone house, Tu Shan Niangzi threw down the sapper shovel, nervously pulled away the mute who accompanied Mo Lian to distribute food, and returned to their thatched hut.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

By the moonlight, the dumb child looked at her mother's panicked face in surprise, and the dumb child was not actually dumb, but her voice was very pleasant.

"Dumb, who told you to contact the Emperor!" Tu Shan Niangzi lowered her voice and pinched the dumb thin shoulders hard.

His shoulder hurt, but the dumb child didn't cry out in pain, but comforted him with great concern, "Mother, I haven't touched him, but he seems to pay special attention to me." ”

Tu Shan Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, hugged the dumb child tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Dumb, you have to remember, stay away from him, your Uncle Tu will come to pick us up soon." ”

The dumb child gently patted her mother's trembling body, "Mother, is he really a god?" ”

"Mother doesn't know." Tu Shan Niangzi shook her head, "But this person is too weird, and he seems to be familiar with that Qin thief." ”

A trace of coldness flashed in the dumb child's dark eyes, and he said hatefully, "Qin thief! ”

"Okay, okay, don't think about it so much, stay through the past few days and wait for your Uncle Tu to come, our mother and son will find a remote town to start anew, and we won't have to live this kind of scared days anymore." Tu Shan Niangzi whimpered sadly.

The dumb child's expression froze, and her lips trembled, "Mother? ”

"Yan Kingdom, it's going to be destroyed!" Tu Shan Niangzi whimpered.

"Qin thief!" The dumb child's eyes instantly became bloodshot and red.

"Okay, whether it's Yan or Qin, it won't have anything to do with our mother and son in the future!" Tu Shan Niangzi shouted in a deep voice, and gently wiped away the tears on the dumb face, "Good, forget everything, let's start anew." ”

"I want to avenge my father!" The mute voice was like that of a wolf cub.

"Shut up!" Tu Shan's lady screamed angrily and slapped the dumb child's face.

The dumb sallow little face instantly became red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were overflowing with blood, but she swallowed stubbornly, and looked at her mother with wide eyes.

"You don't have a father! He doesn't deserve it! Tu Shan Niangzi suppressed her crying and said hatefully.

The mute's lips moved, and finally he snorted coldly and said goodbye.

Tu Shan's mother cried silently, trembling and hugged the dumb child and whimpered and murmured, "My son, my mother only has you, just beg you, don't learn from your heartless father, let's live a good life, my mother is like watching you grow up peacefully and happily." ”

Listening to her mother's sad whimper, the dumb child softened in her heart, sighed softly, and was about to say something when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who!" The mess Tu Shan, who was still weak just now, instantly turned into a vigilant tigress.

"It's me." Mo Kui's muffled voice came from outside the door.

"Come in, monarch." Tu Shan wiped her tears, patted the dumb shoulder, and opened the door.

Mo Kui walked in and closed the door, and looked at the dumb child and Tu Shan Niang, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Tu Shan's lady said perfunctorily: "Is there something wrong with the monarch?" ”

Mo Kui nodded: "Is it really the secret technique of the public loser that the Great Emperor handed over to you?" ”

Tu Shan Niangzi shook her head, "I don't know, but I've never heard of it, even if it's not a secret technique of the public loser, it's also a skillful technique." ”

"How does it compare to my Mo family's tricks?" Mo Kui asked in a deep voice.

"To each his own." Tu Shan Niangzi said, "However, the secret technique taught by the emperor is more concise and practical. ”

Mo Kui snorted coldly, "The way the divine soldier came from, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Tu Shan Niangzi shook her head again: "It's also unheard of." ”

"Can't you even see that you're a sword forging master of both the Tu Shan clan and the Ou Ye clan?" Mo Kui frowned.

"Although the concubine is not as famous as her brother, she thinks that she is not weak in sword casting, and the casting method and raw materials of that divine weapon, as well as the sophistication of the design, are all ingenious, even if the ancestor is alive, it should not be able to be made." Tu Shan said seriously.

"Not like a human thing?" Mo Kui's voice trembled slightly.

"Well, I really don't know." Tu Shan Niangzi hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "According to legend, in ancient times, the sword casting master under the Yellow Emperor took the Xuantian Iron from the sky, dissolved the bronze of the Shouyang Mountain, and cast the divine sword Xuanyuan. ”

Mo Kui's eyes dilated for a moment, and in an instant, Qingming was covered in a cold sweat, "There is more than one such divine weapon." ”

Tu Shan Niangzi pursed her lips and did not speak.

"In any case, listen to him more these days, and try to understand as much as you can." Mo Kui said.

"The identity of the emperor is not known to the monarch?" Tu Shan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"When Brother Tu comes, I'll know." Mo Kui snorted coldly.

Tu Shan Lady frowned slightly, "Monarch...."

"Alright, let's get some rest early." Mo Kui interrupted Tu Shan's lady and pushed the door to leave.

"Mother, the monarch seems to be hostile to the emperor." The mute whispered.

"It's not about our mother and son." Tu Shan shook her head.

"The Great Emperor should be a good person." Thinking of Wang Xu's warm smiling face, he said dumbly.

"Good guys? Men don't have good things! Dumb, you have to remember! Tu Shan said indignantly, "You go to sleep first, and then my mother will go to work for a while." ”

After Tu Shan left, the hut fell silent again, and the dumb child looked at the cheering lonely bamboo man outside through the window, sighed lightly, hugged his legs and curled up in the corner.
