183: The Heart of a Father [I]
Jiuxianglong and Xiao Xinyue were tied up, kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
The room was filled with a bad smell of squid, and Xiao Lan was so disgusted that she didn't want to step into her daughter's room.
A thousand soldiers, inside and out, surrounded the courtyard with water.
Sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion, Xiao Lan looked at her daughter, and her eyes were full of grief and anger at the moment.
Sadly, the inner ghost is actually his own daughter, and he is still with the traitor Jiuxianglong.
is angry, it is the daughter who betrayed herself and wanted to destroy the Di clan.
An Luo took Yin Chan back, while Ming Tian stood next to Xiao Lan, silently watching the two.
Seeing his sister so embarrassed, Xiao Xinzhu's eyes showed a trace of sympathy, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh and leave.
In order to comfort Xinzhu, Zhaoyu also left with her.
At the scene, only Ming Tian and Xiao Lan remained.
The atmosphere was quite solemn, no one dared to speak, even if the soldier moved slightly, the friction of the armor on his body could be heard clearly.
"Daddy!" The solemn atmosphere was finally broken by Xiao Xinyue.
She raised her head and cried with tears in her eyes: "Dad, I really didn't do anything, yes... It's the Nine Spiced Dragon, right! Nine Spice Dragon forced me. ”
When Jiuxianglong heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he kicked off his jaw and said urgently in a vague tone: "What? I force you? Lord Xiao, don't listen to her nonsense, it was she who tempted me with a beauty trick at the beginning, and I was confused for a while to make such a big mistake. ”
Xiao Xinyue hurriedly cried: "Dad, you have to believe me, it's not me, I don't!" Be... It's the beast of the Nine Spiced Dragon, he... He forced me, Dad, I'm your daughter. ”
When Jiuxianglong heard this, he was angry, but he was tied up and had no choice but to smash it with his shoulder, and immediately smashed Xiao Xinyue to the ground, and poor Baba had to move two steps forward with his knees like a Jingba.
"Lord Xiao, the little one is really confused for a while, please give me another chance, the little one doesn't dare anymore, I..."
"Enough is enough!!!!"
Not having the patience to listen any longer, Xiao Lan slapped the stone table, and immediately shook off a lot of dust under the table.
At this moment, Xiao Lan's face was like an angry tiger, and she gritted her teeth and shouted: "Come on, drag the Nine Fragrance Dragon down and behead it for me!! ”
At the sound of the order, Jiuxianglong's face suddenly turned like earth, and his heart was like ashes.
"Lord Xiao spare your life, give me another chance, Lord Xiao !!" The Nine Spice Dragons who were dragged away were still shouting vigorously, but it was obviously just useless.
Seeing him being dragged away, Xiao Xinyue was trembling like chaff at the moment, and she couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings and escape now.
Seeing that it was about to be her turn, Xiao Xinyue, who was tied up and sturdy, crawled over like a worm, and cried with her face against her father Xiao Lan's thigh.
"Dad, I was wrong, I'm your daughter, I really know that I'm wrong, Dad, just let me live."
In the face of her daughter's pleading, although Xiao Lan was still angry, she was also heartbroken, gritted her teeth, her fists rattled, and she never gave the order to kill Xiao Xinyue.
This is the father.
Even if his daughter committed a heinous crime, even if he knew that his daughter should be executed, it was not so easy to really give this order.
"Mingtian, brother-in-law !!" Seeing that Xiao Lan didn't say anything, Xiao Xinyue crawled to Mingtian who was standing on the side again, leaned her face to the soles of her feet and cried: "I was wrong, I really shouldn't have tied Miss Yin Chan, I really know that I was wrong, you help me plead for mercy, please." ”
Plead?
Anyone who knows Mingtian knows that Mingtian is very tolerant.
There is a limit to tolerance.
Once Mao Mingtian is really provoked, then, unless he surrenders and shows sincerity, there is no tolerance at all.
However, the premise is that you have the right to decide.
Looking at Xiao Lan with an earthy face on the side, Ming Tian knew that his father-in-law was hesitating in his heart.
This is human nature, no matter how Xiao Xinyue says, she is also Xiao Lan's daughter, even if Xiao Xinyue is really unforgivable, it is still a little difficult to get Xiao Lan to order to kill Xiao Xinyue.
To put it bluntly, even if Xiao Xinyue's plan succeeds and the Di clan is really wiped out, it will be difficult for Xiao Lan, as a father, to make up her mind to kill Xiao Xinyue.
And Mingtian himself?
Just kidding, even if it has been determined that it is a county horse, Ming Tian still does not have the right to order Xiao Xinyue's execution.
After all, she, like Xiao Xinzhu, is the county lord.
This matter, to put it bluntly, is Xiao Lan's family matter, Ming Tian has no right to decide, even if Xiao Lan decides to let Xiao Xinyue go, Ming Tian can't say anything.
If it weren't for that, Ming Tian would have screwed off her head a long time ago.
"Don't look for me if you plead." After thinking about it, Ming Tian took a step back and cleared up his relationship.
"Daddy......" cried heartbreakingly, and Xiao Xinyue looked at her father hysterically.
The breathing was a little disordered, which seemed to be a bit too big a blow for Xiao Lan.
He opened his mouth a little tremblingly, closed it again, and repeated it several times before he made a trembling sound.
"Xinyue, you... You are the youngest daughter of the father, and the father has always regarded you as the pearl of the palm, you... Can you tell your father why you are not satisfied with me, as a father, to do such a thing? Do you know, because you betrayed us, three thousand soldiers of the Di tribe stained the battlefield with white blood, they are all people with families, wives and children, why, Xinyue, can you tell your father? ”
Knowing it with emotion, moving with reason, I'm afraid it's the current scene.
Xiao Lan seemed to be ten years old in an instant, he looked at his daughter, I am afraid that he could never have imagined that his daughter would do such a rebellious thing before this.
I'm afraid to this day, he can't believe that this is the reality.
Xiao Xinyue, who was prostrate on the ground, sobbed, and didn't dare to say a word from beginning to end.
How many tragic things have been seen so far, although Ming Tian has long been used to it, he can also see that there may be some hidden secrets in it.
However, what was the secret, Ming Tian didn't have much interest, he just glanced at the nearby soldiers and asked them to leave, so as to make some space for the father and daughter.
Himself, go a little farther, so that they can be as alone as possible, but also keep a distance that can barely hear their conversation, and keep their eyes locked on Xiao Lan in case something unexpected happens.
"Daughter." Xiao Lan stretched out her trembling hand, holding Xiao Xinyue's face as if she was holding a baby, looked at her with grief, and gently wiped away her tears with her thumb: "Tell your father, okay?" What the hell am I making you so upset about? ”
Xiao Xinyue, who was sobbing, seemed to stabilize her mood a little.
She lowered her head and pursed her lips for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, and no longer begged for mercy: "I... Father... Since I was a child, do you remember, my mother died when I was born, I never saw my mother, and my only relative was you. ”
"But Dad, my sister was born with white disease, in order to cure my sister, you have been revolving around my sister, eating, drinking, playing, all for my sister, but you have never looked at me, do you know how I spent my childhood? Everyone revolves around my sister, everyone, even you don't look at me! ”
"When you grow up, you also gave her the position of Jiangmen County Lord to my sister, and even gave her the power of the Zhenfeng Army, I only got a nickname of Jiangling County Lord, she has a white disease, she will die when she basks in the sun, her personality is so weak, how can she lead the Di clan?"
Xiao Xinyue's tone gradually began to rise.
"Dad, how can you be so partial, am I not your daughter? Lian Anluo went to sweep the grave, you go to see it every year, but what about me? You've never given me anything! No! Why? ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Xinyue's tears welled up again.
And this time, it was no longer fear, but hysterical rebuke.
The rebuke and the reprimanded party are reversed at once.
Her eyes went from pleading to anger.
"Why? Why did I start with nothing when I was a child? Why can't I just stay at home and not go out like my sister? Why don't you ever look at me? Why, do you favor your sister? I also want to be loved, and I want people to compete for me! Why am I even being questioned by you for proving that I am stronger than the entire Di tribe? Why?! Why, why?!!! ”
Xiao Xinyue roared wildly, her crazy screams of pain seemed so weak in the night.
Facing Xiao Xinyue's questioning, the trembling Xiao Lan withdrew the hand holding her face, and her vicissitudes of life were full of pain.
"Because... You and Xinzhu are my daughters. ”
