Chapter 220: The Price
;; The second more is delivered. Happy Mother's Day, moms.
;; Xu Fu sneered: "Say, I also want to hear it, what big things can you tell me, and I want to hear how you survived, and how you returned to Shangjing, suddenly I was deaf and clear, and I knew that something was going to happen to my family, so I did this life-saving person in time." β
;; Zhao Huang saw that he was willing to listen, and the point in his heart suddenly disappeared. stood up and dressed neatly, and bowed to Xu Fu uprightly, Xu Fu looked at him coldly and did not avoid it. Zhao Huang finished bowing and said in a deep voice: "This worship, thank the fifth brother for saving my family's life." β
;; Xu Fu said lightly: "I deserve this worship." There are two other people who can afford it, my clan uncle and Brother Sakura. If it weren't for Brother Ying's hard work in front of King Kang for you, if it weren't for my clan uncle coming forward to pay for you Zhou Yuan, do you think your family would be able to go out of Beijing with all the tails? You've done enough to kill your whole family twice. β
;; Zhao Huang was silent, Xu Fu took a breath and waved his hand: "I said this to tell you to use more brains in the future." I want to tell you again, no one owes you anything, I don't owe you, and Brother Sakura doesn't owe you. My clan uncle is even more righteous as a master and apprentice, don't bother them in the future. β
;; Zhao Huang raised his head and smiled sadly: "Young and frivolous, the sky is high and the earth is thick, I really owe you." I made a big mistake by not listening to my fifth brother's words at the beginning, and although I was lucky to escape, I had to spend my life to pay off my debts. He knew this best in his own heart, and he really owed it.
;; Xu Fu was slightly surprised, seeing that his face was full of wind and frost, his eyes were dark and heavy, thinking of the past time, the expression on his face finally softened a little: "Sit down." β
;; Zhao Huang sat down as he said and said softly: "I'll tell the fifth brother how I escaped death...... I listened to the words of the fifth brother and went out of Beijing to avoid trouble, a few days ago, the road was smooth, but my heart was uneasy, and I always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at me behind, even at night. I can't eat it. I couldn't sleep, and sometimes I took a nap when I was so tired that I woke up in the middle of the night feeling creepy, so I ordered them to go with me like crazy. They were very resentful, but I couldn't care about anything, and on the eighth day I missed the post station, and it rained in the sky, and the group searched for a long time to find a ruined temple in the middle of the mountainside. As soon as the fire was lit, four people came outside. β
;; Speaking of this, Zhao Huang stopped narrating, picked up the teacup in front of him and poured a large mouthful of water, Xu Fu frowned and looked at him, neither urging nor comforting.
;; "Those four men didn't say anything, they drew their swords and killed people, one by one, even the horses, and I knew they were chasing them", the latest chapter is in:". I've always had a knife by my side. Before the sword was unsheathed, the man was in front of me. Fu'an rushed over with a torch to help me, but in the blink of an eye, he died in front of me, and he didn't blink an eye. Zhao Huang wiped away his tears fiercely, and then said: "I raised my knife and slashed at them, but the knife was gently knocked open, and that person told me that he would have to cut me five times." The first knife will remove my left arm, which is cut for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and cut my disloyalty and filial piety; The second knife was going to unload my right arm. It was cut for Xiao Ling, and it was unkind and unjust to cut me; The third knife will cut off my left leg, which is cut for the princess, and it is shameless to cut me; The fourth knife will cut off my right leg, which is cut for my parents and relatives, and it is disobedient and unfilial to cut me; The fifth knife is going to cut off my head, it is for Zhang San, and the blood debt is repaid by blood. β
;; Xu Fu chuckled: "This is indeed like the style of King Kang's Mansion." But the knife never came down, did it? β
;; Zhao Huang also smiled faintly: "Yes." The knife never came down. Because someone saved me in time, just as someone wanted to kill the fifth brother that night, and I also came in time. β
;; Xu Fu sneered and was silent. Zhao Huang said to himself: "These people who help me don't know about others, but I think the fifth brother should know." In the past, I always thought that the fifth brother was too capable, not only that the people of the three sects in the capital could make friends, but also that you could more or less stretch out your hand in the major mansions to "come: watch popular romances on the Internet". I was curious and in awe. β
;; Xu Fu's face changed slightly until this moment, and he looked at Zhao Huang with some impatience: "If you have something to say, don't bend around like a girl." β
;; Seeing him react like this, Zhao Huang's eyes were a little more confident: "I didn't know before, but I know now." That's because of the identity of the orphan of the fifth brother Xiao family, and because the Xiao family helped one of the most noble people back then, so they suffered the disaster of annihilation, so some people admired Xiao Shangshu's loyalty, so they introduced the fifth brother to a person. Speaking of this, he refused to say anything, and looked at Xu Fu: "Fifth brother, am I right?" β
;; Xu Fu's face was not shocked, and the hand in his sleeve was already clenched tightly, but he refused to answer, and was only silent.
;; Zhao Huang knew his temperament, although he knew that he was seriously injured at the moment, and he was not as sensitive as before, but he was also afraid that he would suddenly burst out and hurt people, but he couldn't help but finish speaking, so he continued vigilantly: "Now that person is dead, the fifth brother has benefited a lot. From Chi Bo to many of the eyeliners and relationships you can use, they were all introduced or given to you by that person, and you yourself know in your heart who these people are, and think you deserve them. Because your Xiao family is full of people and children have paid the price of destroying the door for this, not to mention that most of the output in Hehe Building over the years has been filled by these people's mouths. Otherwise, a child of the pseudonymous Xu family who has no long things, does not know how to operate, flees in panic, and can only rely on his cousin and cousin's husband to live, can he easily get mixed up in this capital to this point? Is it just your perseverance and forbearance that Brother Sakura can draw jewelry drawings? β
;; Xu Fu stood up suddenly, although Zhao Huang was mentally prepared, he was still shocked, the stool under his buttocks was dragged by him and made a loud and strange friction sound, and then fell to the ground desolately, before the person retreated, Xu Fu's face had already come over, and the two breathed each other, Xu Fu's voice was cold and piercing: "Where did you know?" If you don't know, don't go out. You are dead. β
;; Zhao Huang's heart calmed down after beating wildly for a while, and he smiled and spread out his arms with a broken jar: "Fifth brother, why do you have to do this? I'm a dead man, so I'm not afraid to die again, but you can't die casually, look at the uncle and aunt who really love you as your closest flesh and blood, the virtuous sister-in-law, and Brother Sakura who is trapped in the palace, are you willing to do it? β
;; Xu Fu sneered and took out a slender dagger, put it on Zhao Huang's neck and gently scraped it: "I'm reluctant, so you have to die." β
;; Zhao Huang's hairs stood on end, and he reluctantly raised his two hands high and took two steps back, and sighed: "Fifth brother, it's easy for you to take my life, and I also believe that you will be able to do it." But you must know that no matter how powerful you are, there are times when you can't guard against it, for example, you can't find any trace of me in Shangjing; For example, you don't know that someone is going to kill you, someone is going to burn down your home and your parents, and that will happen again one day. No matter how powerful you are, you are still powerless, for example, Brother Ying has to marry the Zhang family you hate the most, you watch her suffer a lot of grievances, but you can't even say a fair word for her, you can only stand, watch, and ache from afar; For example, you were humiliated and whipped in public by King He, and then you were forced to become a lost dog, losing your son and losing your family business, but you could only hide here and survive, worrying about it!! β
;; "You dare to coerce me?!" Xu Fu pursed his lips, took a step forward, and raised the dagger in his hand high.
;; Zhao Huang was frightened, gritted his teeth and said, "Those people can help me or you!" Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life? I don't want to! Do you just want to?! β
;; Xu Fu's eyes widened, firmly and steadily dropped the dagger, Zhao Huang closed his eyes resignedly, but only felt that his ears were cold and hot, and there was no movement, he opened his eyes and looked again, Xu Fu had already collected the sharp blade and returned to the bed to sit down and look at him silently. He timidly touched his hand to his ear, and felt the blood on his hand, but the ear was still there, only a hole was broken, and it hurt hotly. His courage instantly became bigger, and his words became much more fluent: "Fifth brother, there is no free food to eat in the world, when you use those people to do things for you, you should know that there may be such a day." β
;; Xu Fu said coldly: "I don't know, I only know that this is how it should be." For those people, only me and Brother Ying are left in my Xiao family, and they are still using my money, so how about doing what they can for my brother and sister? I didn't take advantage of it in vain. β
;; Zhao Huang pulled a stool and sat away from it, and laughed a little sarcastically: "Fifth brother also has such naΓ―ve times. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, he is not only talking about the officials and masters, but also these servants and slaves left by the previous dynasty, is it possible that they will not cause trouble if they deliver news to you at any time? Such a group of people, it is terrible to put it anywhere, why should people use it for you casually? Just because you are an orphan of the Xiao family? Does the Xiao family have soldiers in their hands, or do they have a large amount of property? Or, like Scholar Xu, who is famous all over the world? Yes, the older generation of people in Beijing now still remember the bloody case eleven years ago, but who would think about doing something for the Xiao family? It's all for fear of getting into trouble! Do you dare to give it a try? β
;; Xu Fu's eyes suddenly erupted with anger, but he only pursed his lips.
;; Zhao Huang made persistent efforts: "Fifth brother, you have reached this point in your relationship with such a group of people, if anyone knows about it, do you think Xu Daxue and Brother Ying will be implicated?" β
;; Xu Fu finally couldn't help it and said angrily: "What do you want? β
;; Zhao Huang sighed sadly: "What can I do?" I am also a lost dog, my parents and family do not recognize me, and even my life is given by people, what can I do? What I want is just to one day exhale and raise my eyebrows and live in the sun with dignity and dignity. People live for a lifetime, the grass and trees are autumn, isn't the picture just a raised eyebrows? Fifth brother, don't you want to? Although the Cui family has fallen, you and I both know that the most evil person is the one sitting on the chair, don't you want to have a blood feud with your hands, for your wife and children, and for Brother Ying, do whatever you want? Don't you want the Xiao family to regain its foothold in the world? Instead of sacrificing to be like a thief? β
;; The fourth watch drum leak was approaching, the oil in the bronze lamp was about to burn out, a moth was desperately hitting the window paper, and the two men in the room sat at opposite ends of the room, both silent. After a long time, Zhao Huang said softly: "I should go, fifth brother, please remember that my name is Zhou Mancong now." Please also remember that there is no way back for you. β
