Chapter 16: Seeking Destiny
Wen Hai has naturally heard the story, it is said that in the capital during the period of the first emperor, there was a foreigner, who liked to eat horse meat, and even liked the feeling of slaughtering horses with his own hands. Later, after getting a piece of good horses in the Tianshan Mountains, he happily killed the meat, but at night he dreamed of an extremely untamable horse, and during the taming, he was unexpectedly kicked in the stomach by the horse, and when he woke up, he really had an unbearable abdominal pain, and he really seemed to have been kicked by a horse, and he died in a few days. During this period, this foreigner told his family his story, and everyone felt that he had done too much evil and received retribution, and he was very emotional, and even the first emperor was surprised, and even ordered not to kill horses. Although the county order is now more relaxed, the horse has been revered as a holy relic by the people of the Holy Heaven, and it cannot be killed or injured ordinarily.
Seeing Wen Hai's increasingly suspicious expression, Hua Xiyan knew that his words had worked.
Lu Yuan looked at Hua Xiyan with interest in the car, but she felt that this woman had a deep wisdom that did not match her age, and she did not show half of her panic in response to Wen Hai's intimidation or fright, and even cleverly returned Wen Hai's aggressive remarks.
Just imagine, the dignified Taiyuan Wen family, doing a ritual for a horse, how to laugh and be generous. But according to the temperament of the Wen family and Mrs. Wen's current situation, it is imperative.
I know it's a ridiculous thing, but I still have to do it seriously, and I should know how aggrieved it is when I think about it.
quietly made the Wen family lose a huge face, she was really a witty woman.
Wen Hai didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but he felt very bored and entangled, and he regretted why he had whipped the horse to death just now.
"Let's go!" A moment later, Wen Hai gave an order to his servant and strode away.
"Childe, this turtle ......"
"Chop!" Wen Hai now felt that the turtle was simply the culprit, how to look at it, how to look at it, how to get in the way, gritted his teeth and spit out such a sentence.
"But it'...... after all"
"No more nonsense! Can't you do it too? Wen Hai yelled at the attendant with red eyes, and his words were extremely harsh.
The attendant looked at the turtle in his arms with great pity, but he had no choice but to disobey the master's order, so he had to raise his hand and condense his internal strength to hit the turtle. I only heard the cracking sound of "click, click, click", and the turtle, which was extremely noble just now, had become a puddle of flesh.
"Second son Wen is slow!" Hua Xiyan suddenly spoke out and called Wen Hai, who was about to leave.
"My car broke down, the horse died, even if I buy a horse, it costs silver, I don't know how the second son of Wen will pay?" Hua Xiyan's light and pleasant voice sounded, but it echoed in Wen Hai's ears like a magic sound, extremely disgusting.
"Let Ben Gongzi pay?" Wen Hai turned his head and asked impatiently.
Hua Xiyan nodded: "If it weren't for the turtle of the child, there would not have been such an incident today...... It's a trifle that my car broke down, but that horse ......"
Wen Hai vomited badly when he heard the word "horse" now, and took out a silver ticket from your sleeve and threw it to Hua Xiyan: "Get out!" ”
Hua Xiyan saw that it was a thousand taels, and said with a light smile: "It's really worthy of being an imperial businessman, it's different!" ”
Wen Hai didn't say anything and strode away.
"When Gongzi Wen did something, remember to be with this turtle! Anyway, it's all a tragic death! Hua Xiyan raised his voice and shouted at Wen Hai's back.
Wen Hai's figure trembled faintly as if he was suppressing the anger that erupted, and then he raised his hand, and the exquisitely made horsewhip inlaid with gold and quenched silver was broken into several pieces.
"Just now I reminded Childe that this turtle can't die......"
"Shut up!"
Hua Xiyan could faintly hear the voices of those people talking, and couldn't help sneering, if you shoot that attendant to death again, then you Taiyuan Wen don't have to do anything, just do things every day.
Wen Hai's back became blurred, and Hua Xiyan retracted his gaze at the woman on the side: "Thank you Lord Linqing for your help!" ”
"You look like you're from outside, but you know me." Lu Yuan sighed softly.
"The frame of the county lord's car is the mark of the Wang family, and I know what the second son of Wen just called." Hua Xiyan replied with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not say half a word in Yi County that time.
"It's a delicate woman." Lu Yuan looked Huaxi Yan up and down, and her eyes showed a touch of praise.
Hua Xiyan pursed his lips and chuckled, with a modest attitude, and did not answer.
"Let's go!" Lu Yuan lowered the curtain, opened his lips and spit out two words, and the luxurious carriage drove slowly again.
Hua Xiyan stood sideways, looking at the carriage with a light in his eyes, thinking that this Lu Kite seemed to be very easy to get along with, hoping that he would ...... in the future It won't be too hard.
Yun Qi's quaint carriage also drove over, and Hua Xiyan turned around and got into the car.
"Wen Hai, how is it?" Yun Qi looked at Hua Xiyan on the opposite side and asked softly.
"Cruel, ruthless, and violent, it is extremely difficult to get along with." Hua Xiyan felt sick when he thought about the man who said just now that he was going to cut off his head.
Yun Qi nodded: "Second Prince Wen's cruelty is notoriously cruel, you have formed a bond with him before you even entered the city, it is really providential." ”
This took up some schadenfreude, but Hua Xiyan was speechless. Could it be that because the Wang family and the Wen family are mortal enemies, she wants to go to the Wang family, so she offended the Wen family and set her position in advance?
Hehe...... This providence......
"But I'm glad you didn't make a move today." Hua Xiyan looked at Yun Qi as if he was lazy and didn't wake up, and spoke.
Taiyuan is different from such small counties, and Wen Hai is not an ordinary person, so he naturally knows Yun Qi. If Yun Qi comes forward to help him today, he may cause some kind of reverie, he will go to the Wang family in the future, this is definitely not a good thing, maybe someone will make a big fuss about this, and when the time comes, not only will he not be able to say it clearly, but he will also affect the Wang family.
Yun Qi saw that your eyes opened a slit, and said slowly: "I said that I want to help you, naturally I am not causing trouble for you." I'm going to take care of it, don't worry. ”
"Hmm." Hua Xiyan nodded and said with a clear smile, "I didn't expect to meet Lord Linqing." ”
"Looks like you have a good impression of her."
"That's good." Hua Xiyan did not shy away from admitting, "It doesn't seem to be a pampered woman, she is a woman who is easy to get along with." ”
"In the future, when you go to the Wang family, you will inevitably meet from time to time, the lord of Linqing County has a good reputation, is modest, does many good deeds, and the eldest son of the Wang family is even more affectionate, you will see you in the future."
"I heard that the eldest son of the Wang family opened a academy outside the city, and the county lord of Linqing would go to lecture from time to time.
Yun Qi nodded: "That's true, listening to what you say, are you going to go to this academy to have a look in the future?" ”
"Not later." Hua Xiyan shook his head slightly, "I will go as soon as possible." ”
Yun Qi's mind turned, and he understood what Hua Xiyan meant.
She came to Taiyuan Wang's family entirely because the Liu family asked Xia Niang to give her the last words. And only the Yiping Wang clan can avenge this annihilation. But asking Xia Niang didn't say what the relationship between the Hua family and the Wang family was, and she didn't know what identity she was going to enter the door of the Wang family. If you go hastily, you may be driven out as some kind of madman. Therefore, the best way is to start with the people of the Wang family, and Wang Yan, the eldest prince who opened a academy outside the city, has become the best target.
Wang Yannai is a person who reads poetry and books, and his mind is meticulous and upright. The most important purpose of her going to find out Wang Yan's tone was to test whether the Wang family would accept her.
After all, the Wang family is one of the top ten families, even if it has anything to do with the Hua family, it may not be able to look at this small family, if people don't want to, she sticks it up, isn't it boring for herself?
Therefore, in order to plan for the long term, she naturally wants to test it.
"It's okay, then find an inn to live in first, and find a time to go to the academy another day." Yun Qi pondered for a moment and said.
Subsequently, Hua Xiyan found a first-class inn. The people who come and go here are all celebrities and dignitaries in Taiyuan, and they live here, so that they can inquire about the internal affairs of Taiyuan, so as to have a better understanding.
Yun Qi went directly to the Taiyuan Post House to live and did not show up, so he did not cause any turbulence.
After a day of repairing, when Hua Xiyan went downstairs to eat, he heard people talking about Wen's practice.
As Hua Xiyan expected, people's words were full of disdain, and they laughed that this Wen person was not stupid, and actually gave two beasts a thing.
If people think about it carefully, they will know that this horse and turtle are not ordinary things, and it is no wonder that the people of the Wen family are cautious. But since it is a joke after dinner, naturally no one delves into it.
Even a storyteller quickly compiled this matter into a notebook, and described it vividly on the stage, and he didn't know that he thought he had seen the scene of Wen Hai's cruel killing of spirit animals.
Just as the storyteller said, "The man struck the horse's head, and the horse fell down with grief and resentment," there was a commotion at the door of the inn.
Hua Xiyan turned his head, and happened to see a group of guards coming with spears and spears, breaking into the door and quickly surrounding the inn.
The originally lively inn was silent for a while, and people looked at each other, some of them wondering why.
The guards showed a avenue to the door, and a young man walked in with a gloomy face behind his back, it was the protagonist of the book - Wen Hai, the second son of the Wen family.
Wen Hai walked in, his face was like ice, and there was a tendency of wind and rain to come. His dark eyes slowly swept over everyone present, as if with a touch of coercion, so that everyone did not dare to make a sound.
He snorted coldly, waved his hand randomly, and the spear in the hand of the attendant behind him stabbed towards the pale storyteller, and with a scream, the man slowly fell to the ground, and died in an instant.
The people who had just laughed so loudly looked at the young man who was standing like Yama.
"Laugh, why don't you laugh?" Wen Hai opened his lips and slowly spit out such a sentence.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was condensed.
Wen Hai showed an extremely sarcastic smile on his face, and the dark brocade clothes set off his gloomy face, and his eyes were fierce, like a life-seeking Shura.
"If you don't laugh, you will all die!"
Wen Hai's words fell, and the guards behind him all opened their bows and arrows, pointing at the full house. As long as he gives an order, none of the people in this inn will survive.
