Chapter 26: Li Yuqing's Compromise
Four days later, Yan Yunxing and the others finally arrived at Yingyue Town, which was closest to Mengxi Village, which had become one of the important transportation hubs in the southwest of the Southern Song Dynasty for more than a year due to the appearance of trialists, and was much more prosperous than before. In these four days, Yan Yunxing absorbed all the four top-level spirits of the dead ghost that had been silent for 10,000 years, and finally evolved into a human a day ago, and the little fox also gave himself a simple name: Huo'er.
Yan Yunxing looked at the two little girls behind him who were chatting like little sparrows, and couldn't help but feel a big head for a while. However, Yan Ziyi has never pestered herself since Yan Huo'er became a human since she was a fox, and this is the only thing worth celebrating.
The four of them entered a small restaurant and ordered a few dishes casually and ate them, Huo'er held the chopsticks but refused to put his mouth for a long time, Yan Yunxing was just about to open his mouth to ask if the food was unappetizing, Huo'er frowned, held the chopsticks and rubbed his temples, pouted and said, "Brother Yunxing, you still feed me..." In fact, Yan Yunxing has always objected to Huo'er calling him brother, because he always felt in his heart that the other party was not made of eggs, and he lived longer than him, not to mention Yan Huo'er's long flowing red hair, a red exquisite robe, and a clear face of a royal sister, but he had a proud and cute heart.
Yan Yunxing asked helplessly: "What's wrong Huo'er, this is your fourth unreasonable request since you became an adult." The first time your hair was too long, I asked me to tie it for you; The second time, you said that you would not undo human clothes and asked me to help you take them off; The third time was even more excessive, and you even asked me to help you say that you don't know how to use a human latrine... Please, although you are a little fox, but don't learn the vixen as an adult, okay? This kind of unreasonable request is what I, a righteous gentleman, can help you complete without distractions, if you change to another unscrupulous master..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Ziyi pursed his lips and muttered: "I don't know which righteous gentleman was helping Sister Huo'er learn to dress when his nose bleeded and went straight down three thousand feet..."
Yan Yunxing heard Ziyi's complaint, hurriedly covered her mouth, and said embarrassedly: "That time it was your brother and I who suffered from heat stroke on a hot day... Ahem... Let's not talk about this for a while, I said Huo'er, it's better to do some things yourself. ”
Huo'er frowned, her pink little mouth bit her chopsticks, and her face was full of sadness: "It's not me arrogant this time, it's me who really wants you to feed it... Because I really don't know how to make chopsticks..."
The meal finally came to an end under Ziyi's mouthful of feeding, Yan Yunxing wondered in his heart, why Ziyi and Leng Feng were born to know everything and understand everything, but Huo'er didn't know anything, did she deliberately lie to us and deliberately be arrogant? Yan Yunxing shook his head and didn't think about those messy things, remembering that Huo'er said that Dongfang Yihong had taught her a 'heart piercing claw method', and the martial arts secrets provided by the big demon-level characters in the east were naturally not far behind, and the thing to do now was to go to the blacksmith shop to build two pairs of steel claws, so thinking so, he quickly settled the account and went to the blacksmith shop.
Looking at the two pairs of white claws that had been built in less than a moment, Yan Yunxing couldn't help but sigh at the mastery of the blacksmith's craftsmanship, which would take at least a few hours or even longer to complete in reality. When he was giving money, he consciously or unintentionally talked to the owner of the blacksmith shop: "Boss, your masters here are really good." ”
"That's, don't look at what our master is taught by, the famous goldsmith Menai~" The boss couldn't help but show off a little proudly when he heard Yan Yunxing praise the craftsmanship of the blacksmith shop.
"Goldsmith's Gate? As far as I know, didn't the Goldsmith Gate decline five hundred years ago after the destruction of its master, Nan Dingfang's family? Why is the goldsmith door again..."Yan Yunxing became interested in this unintentional conversation when he heard the word goldsmith door.
The boss heard the confusion in Yan Yunxing's tone and explained: "The owner of the gate at that time was destroyed miserably, but five hundred years have passed, and the goldsmith sect, as a well-known big gang in the handicraft world, will always cheer up." However, it is a pity that the goldsmith sect has been suppressed everywhere for the past 500 years, and many disciples can't get along in big cities, so they come to a small place like ours to eat..."
"Suppressed?"
"Yes, I don't know which turtle son gang it is, and they haven't let go of this group of poor craftsmen for five hundred years..."
Yan Yunxing didn't expect that after a casual conversation, he actually learned about the difficult fate of the goldsmith sect over the years, and after saying thank you, he walked out of the blacksmith shop, thinking as he walked: "Didn't the master and their enemies be completely destroyed by Yan Lintian back then?" But why after so many years, there are still people who don't let them go, does the enemy family have descendants? Now that both the Five Poisons Sect and the Goldsmith Sect are facing a deep crisis, it seems that after dealing with the affairs of the Five Poisons Sect, it is necessary to find this enemy who has not been able to calm his anger for five hundred years..."
Yan Yunxing and the four of them stopped for a while and continued on the road, and on the way, they asked Huo'er to also start studying the "Demon Transformation Dafa". The four of them walked all the way to Mengxi Village, it was getting late, and they rested at the family where Yan Yunxing was staying, the two young couples warmly entertained them, after dinner, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old white young man dressed as a farmer brought up four cups of hot tea, Yan Yunxing said thank you, picked up the tea and wanted to take a sip, but Yan Lengfeng suddenly stood up and smashed the teacup in Yan Yunxing's hand, the latter raised his head suspiciously, Yan Lengfeng stared coldly at the somewhat panicked young man, and spit out three words at the corner of his mouth:" Desperate! ”
Yan Yunxing couldn't help but be curious, stood up and looked at the young man, at first he thought that this young man was a relative of the master's family, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, if it was a farmer, then his skin was too well maintained, and his white and pure face did not have the simplicity of a cropper at all, but there was a kind of bitter hatred and anger in his eyes, and there was a little unwillingness. Yan Yunxing tilted his head and thought about it, and after a while, he asked tentatively: "Are you Li Batian's family or a member of Yipintang?" ”
I saw that the young man's face was surprised and turned into a look full of resentment, and he replied viciously: "Yes, I am Li Batian's son, Li Yuqing!" ”
At this time, the two young couples heard the movement in the room and ran in and asked what was going on, Yan Ziyi said it roughly, and the young farmer said: "Two days ago, he came to our house to inquire if he had seen you, I heard him describe your appearance and thought he was your friend and kept him here, after you came, I was busy forgetting about it, just now he said that he would help me bring the tea in to give you a surprise, I didn't expect him to murder you, this is really my negligence, I will hand him over to the government..."
Since Yan Yunxing had to clean up the corpse every time he hunted a beast, the people of Mengxi Village had always respected Yan Yunxing very much. Yan Yunxing waved his hand after listening to the young farmer's explanation and said, "I will deal with this matter, don't make a noise first." ”
The farmer nodded and exited the door, Yan Yunxing squinted his eyes and looked at Li Yuqing with a rebellious face and said slowly: "Yes, very smart, first inquired about the identity of my trialist, and then hurried to Mengxi Village, the place where the trialist was born closest to Shuixiu Town, in a carriage, and then pretended to be my friend to deceive the master's trust, and finally poisoned us to take revenge after we came." I have to say it's a perfect plan! But I'm wondering, how did you know I was coming to Mengxi Village for one night? ”
Li Yuqing pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "I knew about it when you were in Yingyue Town, and I calculated that you were going to come here for the night, but it's a pity that I didn't poison your group of bloodthirsty demons!" Speaking of this, Li Yuqing lowered his head a little gloomily, but then said with a proud face: "I can't beat you, since it fell into your hands today, you can kill or kill as you like!" ”
Yan Yunxing looked at the stubborn Li Yuqing thoughtfully and waved his hand and said: "I learned from the people of Shuixiu Town that your father gave birth to four boys and three girls, among which Li Yulong, the eldest son who loves him the most, has always ignored the other sons, and even sometimes fights hard. I don't know what you think of traitors, but if I say that your father colluded with the Western Xia Yipintang and the Remnant Sword and Blue Blood Gang to try to invade the southwestern territory of my Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what you would think? ”
Yan Yunxing's words were not said casually, he first downplayed Li Yuqing's resentment against his father through Li Batian's indifference to other children, and then moved out the crime of treason and smashed it on Li Batian's head, if Li Yuqing is an ambitious, loyal and patriotic young man, after hearing these words, he will definitely have greater doubts about his father.
Sure enough, Li Yuqing lowered his head and pondered after listening to Yan Yunxing's words, and didn't say a word, speaking of his father, in fact, he didn't have the concept of a father since he was a child, because he was a concubine, his father didn't pay attention to it at all, and even often beat his mother after getting drunk, and his father colluded with the Western Xia national policy against other surrender factions He also heard a little at home, sometimes he wanted to kill him when he watched that strange man beat and scolded his mother, but he was his father after all...
"I don't have any evaluation of him, and now it's in your hands, it's all up to you." Li Yuqing's face was suddenly full of relief, as if he had seen through life and death, and spit out such a sentence.
Yan Yunxing smiled and shook his index finger and said slowly: "I won't kill you, I won't let you go, I want you to follow me to do things for me, and guide your family martial arts..."
Li Yuqing asked with some doubts: Why do you want to stay with me, you are not afraid that I will seek revenge on you after my martial arts are higher than yours? ”
Yan Yunxing laughed and walked up to Li Yuqing, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are a person with a lot of brains, enthusiasm, and ideals, I think you can help me, and if you want to kill me, you will never succeed without good teaching." As for your revenge after your success in the future, as long as you can beat me, Yan's head will be recorded in your account at any time and waiting for you to get it, but it depends on whether you have the ability and opportunity! ”
After listening to Yan Yunxing's words, Li Yuqing suddenly surged out of an eager expectation in his heart, and even his eyes became much brighter, only to see that he didn't say a word, just nodded secretly, clenched his fists tightly, and a little red liquid fell to the ground drop by drop along his thumb, like a blooming red rose, delicate but poignant...
