Chapter 191: Wen Tiantian, who spoils his daughter-in-law
Yi Xiuding subconsciously held his breath and listened carefully, but there was nothing abnormal in his ears except for the various natural sounds in the mountains and the voices of the people around him.
When she was wondering, she suddenly saw Yan Sui on the hillside suddenly flick her fingers, and there was a little more spark in her hand, and then he threw the spark to the ground!
With a soft pop, the bare ground suddenly lit up with a line of fire!
The speed of the fire line was extremely fast, and in an instant it had already rushed into the grass under the slope, and instantly ignited the half-dry grass, but it did not disperse, and quickly took off a fire dragon, which rolled from the slope to the bottom of the slope, and when it burned to the middle of the slope, there was a bang, black smoke billowed out, the soil splashed everywhere, and there was a pit on the ground in an instant.
In an instant, Yi Xiuding raised his head and looked at Yan Sui's deep eyebrows, and even Yi Yuncen opened his mouth wide, looking up at Yan Sui with admiring eyes.
Yan Sui was also looking at Yi Xiuding, and suddenly made a gesture of waving a knife at her.
Yi Xiuding didn't think about it, he didn't look back, the knife that had been unsheathed, passed through his armpit, and slammed back!
With a snort, red blood splashed in the black smoke, and someone behind him made a low sound, Yi Xiuding still didn't look back, and then pulled out his knife suddenly.
She poked and pulled, and she was very decisive and ruthless. It was only at this time that Yi Yuncen reacted and let out an exclamation.
Yi Xiuding turned around at this time, and behind him, sure enough, it was the guard who had seen Yi Yuncen slide down and was frightened to draw his knife, at this moment his knife was in his hand, no more than a millimeter away from Yi Xiuding, and in his own abdomen, a big hole pierced through.
Yi Xiuding drew his knife, and the man fell like a broken sack, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
Yi Xiuding slashed on the ground again, and in a moment, he picked out a long line from the grass.
The line glowed black in the night, and it was the kind of stone liquid that could support combustion, and there was billowing black smoke in the burning, and it may have been mixed with poison, and the smoke was thick green and smelled bad.
At this time, another group of guards rushed out of the ancestral hall, they heard the sound and came to check, these people were Yi Xiuding's own cronies brought by him, and immediately Yi Xiuding ordered all the original guards to drop their weapons and rush to the side, guarded by their own guards, and the rest of the people searched around the entire hillside, and sure enough, in the four directions of the entire hillside, they found this black line soaked with poison and stone liquid.
These threads are buried in the grass, and there is no trace in the night, so it is conceivable that once they are lit together, the fire will surely surround the entire ancestral hall in a few blink of an eye, and there will be no time for people to escape.
Regardless of whether there is a chance to escape or not, Mrs. Duan will definitely be carried out as soon as possible, but this line of fire is also bolted with fire bullets every other section, and it will explode when it burns there, Yi Xiuding calculated, almost everyone's first reaction is to grab Mrs. Duan and rush out, and the first wave of explosions from all directions will be encountered.
This terrain is safe everywhere, the only hidden danger is the fire attack, not to mention the enemy's vision and means, and the other party also knows the composition of Mrs. Duan's team very well, and even the efficiency and reaction of the guards have been calculated, and in silence, they have infiltrated Mrs. Duan's guards.
Yi Xiuding was a little incredulous for a while, she could guess that it should be one of the other elders who made the move, but as far as her impression of the other elders was concerned, she couldn't do it to this extent at all.
The midnight wind was cold through her heart, and she thought coldly, how could so many powerful characters suddenly pop out? For example, Fang Cai, such a covert method, and in the dark night, how did that Wen Tiantian find out?
She subconsciously looked up, and there was no longer that Wen Tiantian figure on the hillside.
Yi Xiuding dealt with the things outside, and took Yi Yuncen to carefully explore the surroundings again, and made sure that there was no problem before returning to the ancestral hall. Mrs. Duan had already received her reward, and because she was in a hurry, she fell asleep directly. Yi Xiuding subconsciously looked for Wen Tiantian when he entered the door, but he didn't see him in his bunk, and in a blink of an eye, he saw him squatting next to Mrs. Duan's bunk, holding a basin of hot water, to wash the feet of his little wife, the little wife seemed unhappy, and was afraid of disturbing Mrs. Duan, the two of them whispered, pushing and pushing, suddenly the little wife snorted, turned her head and said something to him, the girl smiled sweetly and well-behaved under the candlelight, the rhyme was gentle, and the whole person was happy and bright, as if she was shining.
And Wen Tiantian didn't know what to say, the girl didn't say anything anymore, lowered her head and laughed, Wen Tiantian moved her body, covering her little wife, and there was a low sound of water.
Yi Xiuding's gaze slowly rose, looking at the shadows hit by the candlelight on the wall, the two shadows gradually merged into one, looking like the shape of a blooming flower.
She suddenly turned around and walked out.
But he didn't go far, he leaned against the outer wall of the ancestral hall, crossed his arms and looked at the moon in the sky, and after a while, he took out a bitter stick from his sleeve and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
Bitter bitterness is a plant unique to Changchuan, it can be chewed dry after being dried into dry branches, the smell is spicy and slightly fragrant, it can be refreshing, but it will be addictive after chewing for a long time. In Changchuan, only some decadent and poor men will numb themselves with this object.
A wealthy lady like Yi Xiuding chewed this thing quite deliciously, and the small purple-brown stick was stirred in her mouth, and the strange taste of bitterness, spicy and sweet came to her mouth in waves.
Like this taste of life.
There was a whispering sound behind him, and it was a few maids sleeping at the door of the ancestral hall through a door.
"Yike...... It's so cold, this wind ...... through the hall."
"Don't make any noise, Miss Seventeen will come back carefully, and let you sleep directly outside."
"Don't scare me...... Oh, why did Miss Seventeen come suddenly, really, as soon as she came, I couldn't even walk......"
"Yes, over the years, she has become more and more scary, looking at people, like the white hair wind blowing in winter."
"Isn't this a bitter heart, saying that it is a young lady, but in fact she is an orphan girl. Elder Chuandeng adopted him, saying that he regarded it as if his status was not low, but he was just a thug who charged into battle. Originally, I thought of talking about marriage when I was old, but as a result, three fiancΓ©s, one died early and two quit the marriage...... If I were replaced, I would have thrown a rope and hanged myself, and it was not easy for her to live so hard. β
"It's a hard life. was born in such a family, but none of them deserved a good life. The Yi family's disease is only passed on to men and not to women, but she got it! How can you get married? β
"I don't think she wants to get married anymore, she runs around all day long, and she probably plans to sell her life to the Elder Hall and be a complete cold lover."
"It's also a poor ......"
Yi Xiuding listened expressionlessly for a while, spit out the bitter root with his head, straightened up, and stepped back into the ancestral hall.
The whispering came to an abrupt end.
Mrs. Duan slept, and the rest of the people lay down peacefully, separated by curtains where the men and women lived, and candles lit in the middle aisle.
Yi Xiuding's figure was stretched by the candlelight and reflected on the curtain.
She walked slowly on the next road, there were people sleeping soundly on both sides, and Wen Tiantian on the left had already dragged her bed to his little wife at some point, and the two fell asleep with their heads touched. Mrs. Duan slept peacefully with her back to them.
On the right, Yi Yuncen stepped off the big quilt that he was covering.
Yi Xiuding's gaze fell on the two people on the left, and then went to the right side, covered Yi Yuncen, pressed the corners of the big cock under his buttocks, and then turned around.
She did not sleep peacefully in the ancestral hall.
This is the place where there is no place for her.
When she arrived outside the ancestral hall, she jumped on the roof, lay down on the cold roof tiles, felt a new bitterness from her sleeve, held it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
In the distance, Guanshan crosses the bright moon.
Today, the wind accompanies the lonely soul.
β¦β¦
Under the cold moon and high wind, Yi Xiuding half-squinted, as if he was asleep.
Suddenly she opened her eyes again, and at the same time her hand was already reaching behind her back vigilantly.
She then stopped, and saw the person standing in front of her.
"Wen Tiantian?"
When this name was spoken, her face became a little colder, and she frowned: "Can you be a little more upright and use a decent fake name?" β
Yan Sui stood on the eaves and looked up at him as if he was about to melt into the moon, cold and far.
He said lightly: "Yi Ming." β
Yi Xiuding raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and then seemed to think of something, his face faded, and he turned his face away.
"It turned out to be a new history of Xichuan's assassination, disrespectful." She said, "What is the reason for bringing a newlywed lady to Changchuan?" β
"Changchuan Yi is in civil strife?" Yan Sui did not answer the rhetorical question.
"What does it have to do with you? Lord Thorn Shi appeared in Changchuan at this time, could it be that he also wanted to fish in troubled waters and get a piece of the pie? Yi Xiuding sneered, "Admire." β
Yan Sui didn't pay attention to her ridicule, walked to her side, and took a bitter stick from her hand, Yi Xiuding's face changed, and just about to take it back, Yan Sui had already chewed it and smiled, "It's bitter and hard, but the aftertaste is sweet." Miss Yi loves to chew this thing, which shows that her inner ambition has not been extinguished. β
Yi Xiuding's faint eyebrows were raised, as if he was about to refute in a second, but as soon as he looked up and saw Yan Sui, who was standing under the moon with a robe flying in his mouth, he suddenly turned his head away.
After a moment of silence, she said coldly: "Since you can stay here, presumably Madame has already accepted you." For the sake of you saving me and Yun Cen today, I said that it is okay with you, but I advise you, don't think too highly of yourself, Changchuan is now a puddle of muddy water, and whoever wades into it will inevitably be dirty. If you don't get it right, it's not impossible to have no top. β
The corners of Yan Sui's lips curled, "Listen first." Maybe after listening to it, I was scared and withdrew. β
Yi Xiuding glared at him, and said after a while: "Two months ago, the head of the family went to Tianxingtai one night, and he was very happy when he went, but somehow something happened that night, Tianxingtai collapsed again, and the elder of the medicine died on the spot, the head of the family went crazy, was white, afraid of light and heat, and stayed in his own Danyaju all day long. I don't know what happened, but I know that there was another big fight, and when the door opened again, the elders were kicked out, and among them, the Interpreter and the Elder Titang were injured. But after the elders came out, they announced that the head of the family was sick, and the affairs were temporarily replaced by them, and the head of the family did not speak, and then a few days later, something happened to the elders' hall, and no one knew what was going on behind closed doors, in short, the original injured Elder Jie Jing died, and the elder Titang quickly recovered his body, and joined forces with the Elder Chuandeng to suppress the disputes of the remaining elders, but not long after, the Elder Chuandeng was also assassinated, and there were rumors in the family, saying that this series of events was the handiwork of the Chuandeng Elder, It was Elder Chuandeng who found out that the head of the family was terminally ill, so he took the opportunity to seize power...... In short, it's messy. β
"Why is Elder Chuanlan so anxious to invite Madame back?"
"According to the rules of the Yi family. If there is a decrease in the number of personnel in the elder hall, it is necessary to select people to make up for it in time, and Mrs. Duan has the right to nominate two people, and Mrs. Duan is one, maintaining a good relationship between the eighteen tribes of Changchuan and the Yi family. Previously, because of the chaotic life of the head of the family, the eighteen tribes were mixed, and the eighteen tribes were unfairly divided into territories and rewards after the war, which had caused the anger of the eighteen tribes. You also know that the imperial court has ordered the removal of the Changchuan Assassin Shi Throne, and the third son of the emperor, Yan Sui, personally accompanied the new Assassin Shi into Sichuan, making it clear that the comer was not good. Yan Sui, you must have dealt with that person, and it was very difficult. If the eighteen parts of this juncture make trouble, our Yi family will be attacked inside and outside, the dragons will be leaderless, and the collapse will only be a matter of moments. β
"So, Elder Chuanlan needs those two nominations from Mrs. Duan? And the head of the Yi family also needs his wife to go back as soon as possible to appease the eighteen tribes? β
"Everyone needs those two places, the seven-person elder hall is already vertical, each with its own thoughts, once there are two more of its own, it will present an absolute advantage. After all, the Yi family has rules, if there is a situation where the head of the family cannot be a director, it will be decided by the seven-member elder hall, depending on the number of votes. β
Yi Xiuding thought about the mess of the Yi family in Changchuan at this moment, and sighed in his heart, the Yi family has reached the most dangerous moment in these years, and it is precisely because they have seen this danger before, so the Yi family has taken some risks to the surrounding families and the imperial court, such as the Fushou paste incident, but when they met Yiwang Yansui and the kitchen official Wenzhen, who was born out of nowhere, bad things happened everywhere, after all, the imperial court discovered the problem of the Yi family, and self-defeatingly forced the imperial court to make up its mind to withdraw Changchuan.
I don't know where Yan Sui and the others were, someone had been chasing their team before, but then I don't know if it was discovered, and there has been no news.
It is said that the Tang family should also take action, after all, once Changchuan is abolished, the rest of the family will inevitably be opened, and this case cannot be opened. And the imperial court took Changchuan, connected with Huizhou and other places, entered Xichuan and then fought against northern Sichuan, retreated to the Central Plains, and the strength rose again, and the crisis of the rest of the families was even worse.
Therefore, Yi Ming's newlywed Yan'er came to Changchuan in person before his foothold was stable?
Yi Xiuding thought about Mrs. Duan's explanation to him before, and signaled that he could talk about the current situation of Changchuan Yi with these two new guests. Although Mrs. is pure-hearted and has few desires and does not love power struggles, after all, she is from such a family, what are her plans to take Yi Ming to Changchuan? What else will happen?
In the blink of an eye, she thought of the current strange atmosphere of the Hall of Elders, a civil strife, and power shining like a huge piece of fat, tempting everyone to look greedy, and it seemed that they would not regain their appearance......
She pondered here, and did not pay attention to Yan Sui had already gone down the roof, and when she looked out, there was his little wife standing at the door of the ancestral hall, looking up and smiling at him, and he seemed to blame something, so he naturally took the girl in his arms, stroked her hair, and took off his coat to cover her.
Just two steps, I'm afraid that she will catch the wind.
She watched as the two snuggled inside, long shadows wrenching around the ground like twin trees.
In a blink of an eye, I saw a thin layer of frost on the roof tiles, reflecting my long figure.
The bitterness was bitten into his mouth again, and the taste was as cold as the moon this night.
β¦β¦
Nothing happened that night.
Mrs. Duan is really calm, and she can fall asleep quickly after the mess last night. Slept all night without worry. Wen Zhen admired it, thinking that people who don't know martial arts and are delicate and weak can't survive in the Changchuan Yi family, and a strong heart is the magic weapon to win.
On the second day, we continued to hurry, arrived in Hejun in the afternoon, and after entering the city, we went directly to a manor, and after a short rest, Mrs. Duan met with the elder who passed the lamp.
Wen Zhen and Yan Sui naturally couldn't participate, the two of them were under the eaves of the courtyard corridor, this nine-curved corridor, not long after entering the door, was the only place for Mrs. Duan's residence, no matter who wanted to see Mrs. Duan, they had to pass through here.
The two of them sat on the railing of the cloister and watched the huge snowflakes slowly drift down.
It's snowing again.
The snowflakes in Changchuan are very large, half the width of Wen Zhen's palm, and they do not melt when they fall in the palm of their hands for half a day.
Yan Sui stretched out her hand and pulled Wen Zhen's outstretched hand back, and said, "Daughter-in-law, be careful of the cold." β
Wen Zhen looked at him angrily, and when no one was around, he was full of daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law, isn't it a little too into the play?
"The snow here in Changchuan is really big." She was a little fascinated with a sip of hot tea, staring intently at the snow, not paying attention to Yan Sui's finger on the bottom of the tea cup, which was always steaming.
"I used to be in ...... When I was in the research institute, as soon as it snowed, Xiao Perspective was very interested in building a snowman. Da Bo doesn't like to lie in bed in winter, never participates, Taishi doesn't mind coming out, she thinks it's good to come out on a snowy day, but she never wants to build a snowman, she doesn't build a shape, so she builds the snow into square bricks one by one, and then builds them up, like building a bunker. It's not the same thing at all from Xiao Ke's chubby snowman with carrots. β
"What about you, what do you like to pile up?"
"A snowy day is a good time for me to practice my craft. Ice sculpture and snow sculpture are both opportunities for chefs to hone their skills. Sometimes, according to the old books, they collect fresh snow and try to make sake by picking plum blossoms covered with snow. The plum wine I brew is very good, and Dabo often drinks it secretly with a small perspective. The man's wife never drank it, and the only time she tricked us into drinking half a cup, and then ...... Hahaha. β
A smile appeared on the corner of Wen Zhen's lips, and he saw that on the opposite corridor, Yi Xiuding walked over with a tall and slightly chubby old man, although the old man was wearing a thin cloth shirt in winter, he looked very weighty, but he walked very lightly, and there were almost no traces on the snow he walked on.
From such a distance, the old man seemed to feel that someone was watching, and when he turned his head to look, Wen Zhen retracted his gaze, only to find that Yan Sui had jumped out of the corridor and was building a snowman.
She laughed and exclaimed, "I'm going to make a bunny!" β
Over there, Elder Chuandeng had just swept his eyes, and Yi Xiuding had also spotted the pair of snowmen, she paused, and turned her eyes away expressionlessly.
Elder Chuan Deng asked her, "Why are you getting a strange face?" β
Yi Xiuding replied: "Aε² recklessly injured people, and his wife rescued him and took care of him for a few days." β
Elder Chuandeng had something in his heart, so he put his mind at ease and continued to move forward with a sigh.
Their figures hurriedly turned away, and after a while, Wen Zhen said, "You go." β
Yan Sui paused, looked at her, and Wen Zhen said, "Wen Tiantian, can you please believe me?" If I am injured, I can drag you to avoid Yi Ming and the Tang family, I can't protect myself? β
"No," Yan Sui said, "I can't live without you, and I'm a little scared to leave you." β
Wen Zhen sneered, jumped into the garden, and threw a handful of snow at him, "Get out." β
"Wrap your clothes tightly so you don't get cold." Yan Sui glanced at Wen Zhen, who was wrapped like a bear, and then looked around to make sure that there was no one, and turned around, and had disappeared into a chaotic snow.
He was dressed in a white suit today, and in such a heavy snowfall, he floated like snowflakes, and he was almost invisible from a distance.
Wen Zhen covered his head with his cloak and continued to build the snowman he had just made up in the garden in the garden.
The snowman, tall and white, with a thin waist and long legs, was reaching for plum blossoms from a nearby plum tree.
That's a snowman Yan Sui.
Yan Sui is omnipotent, Wen Zhen is skillful, and Yan Sui, the snowman who cooperates with the two, can't tell it's fake if he doesn't get too close.
In this way, even if someone passes through the corridor next to him in the snow, at a glance, it is Wen Tiantian, who spoils his daughter-in-law, and picks flowers for his daughter-in-law in the snow.
The golden cicada shed its shell, so that Yan Sui could listen to what Elder Chuandeng and Mrs. Duan had to say.
Wen Zhen carved the snowman's face in three or two times, and the crystal clear face really had a bit of Yan Sui's charm, but Wen Zhen felt that Yan Sui's face was so clear, but it was more moist and fresh than this snowman.
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she was a snowman Yan Sui, and she also hoped to be more beautiful, so she reached out and picked a plum branch from the plum tree next to her, and stuck it obliquely on the snowman's lips.
The snowman Yan Sui has a red plum between his lips, and his skin is snowflakes red, so he has a little more amorous beauty.
Wen Zhen couldn't help but take a step back and appreciate it, and traced the delicate outline with his fingertips, only to feel that he liked it in his heart, and he couldn't wait to stand on tiptoe and kiss it, and then remembered that the hot tongue could not kiss the ice and snow, otherwise he would be careful to stick to it, and he couldn't help laughing at himself again.
laughed at the joy and love that was about to overflow when he was too full, and he didn't know how proud he was when Yan Sui saw it.
When she thought so, her back suddenly froze.
Balls...... The feeling of being stared at.
------Off topic------
Thank you for your efforts for the monthly pass yesterday.
Today is still the day of the double monthly pass, and it is said that there are quite a lot of discounts.
Wen Tiantian: Do you still have tickets? My mother didn't have a bill saying that she would become a stepmother in minutes, and I was a little scared.
