Chapter Seventy-Four: The Old Man
General Kou rolled his eyes, he didn't look at Xue Yi'er at all, he raised his head and snorted coldly: "Hmph, what are you, you are also worthy of talking to General Ben?!" "The mouth said, . . .
Seeing that Xue Yi'er was about to be pierced by General Kou, Xiao Yichen's hand was in the wheelchair a little, the silver silk thread wrapped around General Kou's spear, and with force in his hand, he snatched General Kou's spear, and then Xiao Yichen's foot knocked on the wheelchair, the person flew up in the air, his head fell down, his hands fell on General Kou's armor, and he lifted it up hard, General Kou's armor fell to the ground as if it were scattered, Xiao Yichen's body turned in the air and flew down on the wheelchair, in the blink of an eye, Looking at General Kou, who was still menacing just now, he was already kneeling at Xiao Yichen's feet at this time.
Xiao Yichen shook the folding fan in his hand and smiled lightly: "Since the general's armor is inconvenient to salute, then this king will remove the trouble for the general, but I don't know if the general's head can get in the way?" Xiao Yichen's folding fan trick generally turned into a long sword on General Kou's neck, and his tone was relaxed and leisurely, but Zhou's body was dignified and murderous.
General Kou's face was still the same, he stubbornly held his head high, stared at Xiao Yichen and smiled coldly: "I don't want the prince to be disabled and have such a great ability, the last general will admire it, and if you want to kill, you have to scrape and listen to it!" ”
Xiao Yichen's sword pressed against General Kou's neck, he knew that this person was a tough guy, it was difficult for him to submit by force alone, and he had just come to Lingbei, if he killed the general first, I was afraid that it would provoke more people to resist, and it would be even more difficult for him to establish his own army here. If he had let this man go, he would have been neither grateful, nor would he have surrendered, and he would have found some other reason to be his enemy. When Xiao Yichen was in a dilemma, thinking about how to step down, the blind old man stumbled out with the support of Xue Yi, and shouted in his mouth: "Keep people under the prince's sword!" The prince spares his life! ”
General Kou was taken aback when he saw the old man, and shouted, "Why aren't you old man dead?!" ”
The old man knelt in front of Xiao Yichen, kowtowed to Xiao Yichen and said, "The little old man is rude, please be merciful to the prince's subordinates and spare me this son of evil!" ”
Xiao Yichen, Xue Yi and the people present were all stunned, no one thought that this old man turned out to be General Kou's father, Xiao Yichen couldn't figure it out, General Kou is not only the general of Lingbei, but also the overlord of this side, who dares to provoke, why did his father go to seek death by himself?
When General Kou saw his father interceding for him, he was not happy and annoyed, and scolded in his mouth: "Old immortal, who wants you to embarrass me here!" I don't want your kindness even if I die! ”
Xue Yi cherished the old and the poor the most, and when he saw General Kou treating his father like this, he raised his eyebrows: "The crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to the milk, the beast still knows the grace of his parents, you are a human being, but you don't know how to thank your father for raising him, but he insults his father so much, leaving you is also a scourge to the world, it is better to kill it!" ”
Xue Yi turned around and took the long sword of the guard behind him and stabbed at General Kou, the incident happened suddenly, even Xiao Yichen did not expect that Xue Yi, who had always been gentle and submissive, had such courage to dare to kill with his own hands, seeing that Xue Yi's sword stabbed into General Kou's throat, although the old man's eyes could not see, his ears were extremely sensitive, and he pounced on General Kou's body, and Xue Yi's sword stabbed into the old man's back with a pop.
After all, it was the father and son who cared, and General Nakou hurriedly hugged his father and exclaimed, "Dad...... Father....... What happened to you? ”
The old man actually smiled, and his hand fell on General Kou's face: "Son, Daddy really didn't do anything to be sorry for you, Hugh ......." The old man didn't finish speaking, his hand fell to the ground, and he didn't snort.
General Kou stared at Xue Yi with red eyes, Xiao Yichen knew that Xue Yi had fallen into a big disaster, worried that General Kou would hurt Xue Yi, and hurriedly shook his wheelchair in front of her, Xue Yi looked calm, with a shallow smile on her face, and her voice was like a bird: "General Kou, don't you want your father to die?" Now that he is dead in front of you, are you satisfied? ”
General Kou suddenly jumped up and pounced on Xue Yi: "Slut, return my father's life!" ”
The leader of the guards and Xiao Yichen had already taken precautions, and everyone took advantage of the chaos just now to capture all the men and horses brought by General Kou.
General Kou closed his eyes tightly, glanced at his father on the ground, turned around and threw himself at Xiao Yichen's sword, Xiao Yichen saw that he intended to kill himself, and hurriedly put away the sword: "General Kou, ants are still stealing life, not to mention that you are a hero!" ”
Xue Yi walked in front of General Kou and bent her knees: "Princess Lan Xueyi of Chongqing apologizes to the general, I hope the general will forgive me, the old man is just a skin injury, and there is no big problem, I just want the general to understand that even if the general hates your father, the old man is still willing to use his life to protect the general." I think there must be some unspeakable misunderstanding between the general and the old man, if the general doesn't dislike it, you might as well say it, maybe the prince can help you a thing or two. ”
The old man really snorted, Xue Yi'er had already picked up the old man, and Xiao Yichen ordered his subordinates to let go of General Kou: "General, the princess has made it clear to you, you just lost your father, but do you want to lose your father again?" If you still trust this king, then follow this king's house. How is it? ”
General Kou looked at Xiao Yichen and then looked in the room, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and clasped his fists with both hands to Xiao Yichen: "The green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, and he will repay the prince for not killing him every day!" Then he turned and jumped on his horse, and flew away.
Xiao Yichen and Xue Yi had no choice but to return to the house, Xue Yi'er had already bandaged the old man's wounds, and Xue Yi said: "I hope the old man will forgive me for being rude." ”
The old man shook his hand again and again: "Alas....... If it weren't for the prince and the princess, the dog would have a life, and the little old man should thank the princess for not killing him. The old man struggled to kowtow to Xue Yi and Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen picked up the old man and asked: "Old man, it's not that this king wants to inquire about the privacy of the house, but if you don't make this matter clear, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you, and we won't be able to turn enemies into friends with your son, I'm afraid that one day we will have to meet each other." ”
The old man groaned for a long time, and before he could say anything, he shed tears, "Alas...... How can I speak up about this! No matter what, the little old man is not afraid of the prince laughing, and he must not let the prince give the little old man justice.
The old man's name is Kou Song, his son Kou An, Kou An died when he was three years old, Kou Song was worried that his stepmother was not virtuous, treated Kou An badly, and never married.
The incident happened more than two months ago, two months ago, Kou An went to Beijing to report on his work and brought back a woman from Shuangyang City, and the woman was extremely good-looking. In the area of Lingbei, the perennial wind and frost, the woman's skin is extremely rough, even if it is Mrs. Curzon, who was born as an official eunuch, her complexion is slightly yellow, not as white as the woman's complexion, and the water is tender and tender.
The woman was not only beautiful in nature, but also extremely scheming, when Curzon was there, the wife of Kou An who served was obedient, humble and polite, and the elder sister and sister were short, once Kou An went out, she immediately changed her face, either laughing at Mrs. Kou's incompetence or laughing at her for not having children, at first Mrs. Kou was still forbearing, not with her general knowledge, Curzon heard a word and a half sentence was naturally partial to the daughter-in-law, and had to count a few words from the woman.
After a long time, the woman slandered Curzon for having an ambiguous relationship with her daughter-in-law, and openly and secretly scolded Curzon for being an old bastard who picks up dust.
That's how Curzon's eyes were blinded by the woman's anger.
When Xue Yi heard this, she asked puzzledly, "Doesn't your son just ignore it?" ”
Curzon shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My son is so focused on that woman that he rarely comes to see me again, sometimes I say a few words to him about the woman's wrongs, he is a little impatient, and asks me to leave the affairs of his inner house, I didn't think much about it at the time, I didn't know that the woman said a lot of bad things about me and my daughter-in-law in his ear, alas......" Curzon sighed, and two lines of muddy old tears ran down the corners of his eyes.
"It's a pity for my daughter-in-law, my unscrupulous son actually believed that there was no innocence between me and my daughter-in-law, and beat my virtuous daughter-in-law violently and locked her up, and the stupid child couldn't think about it for a while, and hanged herself......."
Curzon whimpered and cried, Xue Yi's face was already full of tears, and she handed the handkerchief to Curzon: "Could it be that her father will let your son do whatever he wants?" ”
Curzon wiped his tears and hated the roots of his teeth: "That woman has a vicious heart, and after my daughter-in-law hanged herself, she was also afraid, and somehow, she instigated my son to trick his father-in-law into the house, and poisoned him with a glass of medicine and wine!" ”
Xiao Yichen's eyebrows tightened, looking at Xue Yi, who was crying like a tearful person, and stuffed his handkerchief into her hand.
Curzon carefully explained the cause and effect, Xiao Yichen ordered Xue Yi'er to take Curzon down, stunned in a daze, Xue Yi wiped away her tears and looked at him: "Lord, we must avenge the county Cheng family and avenge Curzon's grievances, so that the confused Kou An can understand." ”
Xiao Yichen nodded: "It's just that this matter is probably not easy to do." ”
"Why?"
"Xueyi, don't you think this woman is a little strange? If it is really as Curzon said, she is just a fireworks woman, she happened to meet Kou An, the two love each other, and Kou An's wife is a virtuous person, then she should keep to herself and be a favorite concubine, why does she go to such great lengths to provoke the relationship between this family? ”
Xue Yi nodded frequently: "Curzon said that she was carrying a cat, scratched herself, and framed Curzon for molesting her, so Kou An kicked him out of the house, it seems that this woman is indeed ruthless and smart enough." ”
"Perhaps, we will meet the ancients in Lingbei, but we can't say!"
