"But he can't prove that he turned his back on us for the sake of his children—he's not like that, he's not!"

Xiang Zhou frowned and said angrily: "Aren't you sober enough?!" Isn't this girl standing in front of you enough proof? The Yan clan has been dead for twenty-three years, and she is just twenty-two years old this year! And - also, do you remember that when we transferred from Yancheng to the imperial capital, the imperial capital happened to be performing the holy sister's funeral sacrifice, you use your brain to think about it, how could it be so coincidental that the Yan clan was quietly cut off, and the holy sister's front and back feet died inexplicably? - Zhu Jing, Zhu Jing, these are just tricks of power, don't you understand? ”

Zhu Jing was speechless and stared at me in a daze.

"I used to be like you, I had absolute loyalty to the Yan Clan, and even if I died, I was willing to use my bones to pave its path of light, but in the end, what did we get? Wherever we went, we would be greeted with contempt, for fear that others would know that we were once members of the Yan clan, for fear of hearing a disdainful sneer when they turned around-" Xiang Zhou suddenly approached me, word by word, gritted his teeth and said to me, "Your father, you don't deserve to be forgiven by the Yan clan's abandoned generals at all, and you are the murderer of the Yan clan's demise!" ”

My dad? We?

My whole body was cold, my whole body was cold and my hair stood on end, and my heart ached! My dad is ...... Is it the patriarch of the Yan clan? …… In order to be with my mother, he abandoned the Yan brothers who were allied by blood and came to this town to be an ordinary little catcher? ……

"Big brother, the Yan clan still has a chance......" Zhu Jing looked at him pleadingly.

Xiang Zhou stiffly turned his head to stare at Yan Cuo, who had a sickly face on the bed, and smiled coldly at the corners of his mouth.

Zhu Jing said persistently: "As long as the clan brothers know that the Yan clan still has heirs and has grown up, Fuyan is just around the corner!" ”

Xiang Zhou smiled, his smile was so dry, and it was terrifying: "The clan generals have long been disheartened with the patriarch, even if he has the one who can raise the banner of the Yan clan, no one will come to fight for his life, the Yan clan is dead, and the hearts of the Yan generals have long been dead!" ”

"No, as long as the Yan clan can recover, the clan brothers will come!"

Xiang Zhou said angrily: "Are you afraid that the brothers will not die, and you will push it again?" The holy decree makes it very clear, the soldiers of the Yan clan are not allowed to form a party, they are not allowed to extend their visit to the Yan surname, and they are not allowed to return to Yancheng, do you want the spies of the court to bring the great crime of rebellion of the Yan clan to the imperial capital, so that the court can kill us all in one fell swoop? You're not saving the Yan clan, you're harming the brothers! ”

Zhu Jing was stunned, and tears fell like rain.

Xiang Zhou closed his eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly as if he was coaxing his little brother to do more: "Since the Yan clan has died out, why not let it hold the last dignity and sleep peacefully in the legend?" ”

Zhu Jing still looked blank, maybe his mood at this moment was more desperate and painful than when he saw the Yancheng door plate split into two.

Xiang Zhou glanced at me sadly and angrily, as well as Yan Cuo on the bed, turned around and walked out.

"Then I don't understand," Zhu Jing said softly, "I don't understand why you asked me to provoke that competition with the little master?" From weapons to light skills - don't you want to see what he is capable of, whether he is a material that can be made? But why are you so desperate for the recovery of the Yan clan in your hearts? I really don't understand ......."

Xiang Zhou said: "You misunderstood, we never had any plans to recover the Yan clan. We were just afraid that he would know some of the secrets of the Yan clan and put his few remaining brothers in danger—but it seemed that he didn't know anything but a country man who didn't do anything, a country boy who couldn't even tell the merits. ”

Zhu Jing staggered back a few steps and covered her eyes with her hands, as if all her beliefs had been shattered.

"You are wrong, my brother will not be a rural village man who does nothing, maybe my father also thought like this, let him be an ordinary person, and be able to live this life according to his own joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, but he has the blood of the Yan family, he can buckle the choke button that only a hero can wear, no matter what he has to bear in the future, he will go all out and will not disgrace the Yan family." I shuddered, and the words seemed to come out of my mouth all of a sudden, and I didn't know where they came from.

Zhu Jing quickly took down the hand covering her face, her eyes were still full of tears, and her face was shocked: "What? Miss, did you mean to be suffocating just now? ”

I gritted my teeth and nodded.

Zhu Jing took a few steps forward excitedly and asked, "Does the little master have a choke button?" Where did he come from? ”

"Someone else gave it." I looked at Xiang Zhou, who was now staring at Yan Cuo viciously.

"Big brother, have you heard, he has a chokehold, he won't let us down-" Zhu Jing was overjoyed.

Xiang Zhou stared at me and said: "Strangling is a thing in troubled times, now that the four seas are leveling, who is in the hands of this buckle, it means that this person will cause a storm in the court in the future, in exchange for I am you, I will not publicize this buckle everywhere, so as not to attract the disaster of killing." ”

I widened my eyes and turned my head to look at Yan Cuo, could it be that the person who hurt him was because of this?

Xiang Zhou snorted coldly, raised his feet and left.

I suddenly pounced on Yan Cuo, almost silent, because his wrist, which I had placed in the quilt, had fallen on the edge of the bed, and the choke that had been wiped clean and smooth by me before the conversation was now densely covered with a layer of rust-colored linter!

I wiped my wrist buckle with my hand again, and sure enough, the rust fell off again.

This wrist clasp is really strange, rusted again and again, but this rust is different from other rusts, it can be wiped clean, but it will also keep growing. If it keeps being like this, Yan Cuo will take him to clean it up often, isn't it annoying?

Could this be a fake choke that Meng Wu found casually in order to prevaricate us? And that concentric groan, it cracked when it fell, what kind of goods were sent!

And according to Xiang Zhou's words, it also makes sense, I only think about its indomitable spirit, but I don't know the other meaning it represents, so is it good or bad for Yan Cuo?

Zhu Jing said: "The eldest brother is not unreasonable, in order to protect the little master, let's try to deal with it as low-key as possible - but what does that iron-blooded and picky choke look like?" How did the little master buckle it? Can you show me? ”

I was a little unsure, and I didn't want Zhu Jing to have a questioning expression on his face when he saw the rusty button, so I covered the button and said, "Let's talk about it when he is better......"

Zhu Jing realized that Yan Cuo was seriously injured at this time, and frowned and puzzled: "Although I and the little master are just trying it out, but I can also know a little bit of his ability, many tricks are not very orderly, I should not have learned the moves seriously, but he has a lot of strength, especially the strength of his arms, the black iron rod is not light, he can use it very freely, and he is very fast, Yan Xingyun Qiao's thirteen steps, I am very good among more than a dozen of us, he can actually win me." The force can be heavy and light, and he can't beat the most run-no matter how bad it is, he also has a dark iron rod on his arm, which can frustrate the edge of ten thousand blades, how can he protect him for three points, who can hurt him like this? ”

I stared at Yan Cuo's face, thinking about Zhu Jing's words, indeed, if it was really like what Haipiao said, he was just a thief, how could he have such a heavy hand? Yan Cuo is not me, he has kung fu and is also vigilant, how could he be injured like this?

"Sister Fei, are there any guests?" At this time, Xia Xia's voice rang out.

I stood up, Xia Xia had already walked in, looked at me, and then at Zhu Jing, with an inexplicable expression.

I wiped the tears from my face and said, "Why did you wake up so soon?" Don't sleep more? ”

Xia Xia said: "I thought about it, I heard a quarrel in the courtyard, and I thought that guy was bullying you again, so I quickly got up and took a look-why are you here, big brother?" She turned her head to stare at Zhu Jing.

Zhu Jing hurriedly turned his face, a little shy, probably afraid that others would see him crying, so he quickly wiped his face and said to me: "I have to go back and discuss this matter with my eldest brother, I will leave first, and I will come to see you later." After that, he bypassed Xia Xia and bowed his head and walked quickly.

Xia Xia looked at him inexplicably and muttered, "Why didn't this poor brother carry that majestic long sword today?" Also-Sister Fei, when did you have a relationship with him, when I was in the yamen yesterday, I obviously didn't greet us with a stiff face. I thought he didn't like to see us—"

Zhu Jing has had some dealings with me, but she really hasn't appeared in the courtyard much, and even if she does, she is with Xiang Zhou, and she doesn't speak coldly, Xia Xia remembers it quite clearly.

"How do you know he has a sword? Do you know him? ”

Xia Xia was still standing outside the door, looking at me inside the door and said: "It's familiar, who made him always have a long sword tied to his back, and he looks good, but he is often cold, not as kind and cute as Brother Chen." ”

"Brother Chen?" I didn't react, when did she have an extra Brother Chen?

"It's the bad big brother with a scar on his eyebrows, he said his name is Chen Bing." Xia Xia prompted.

I looked at her strangely: "How do you know Chen Bing?" ”

Xia Xia nodded: "I know, I have encountered it several times in Sister Li's courtyard, and he has also contributed a lot to Aunt Lian's funeral this time." I asked him why he always came to help, and he said that Aunt Lian was very kind to him, and always recognized him as his son, saying that Aunt Lian would remind him of his mother who died young. However, he often came a few days before the funeral, but he didn't come for the first seven days, and he didn't know what was delayed. ”

I remembered that when I went to see Li Xue yesterday, she occasionally turned her head to look at the courtyard in despair, was she waiting for Chen Bing? She didn't know that something had happened to the yamen, and Chen Bing couldn't get out of it if she wanted to guard the yamen......

If there is really love between them, it is also good, otherwise Li Xue is helpless, wouldn't it be pitiful?

Xia Xia asked me, "Was anyone else there just now?" I seem to hear the voice of a man, and when I get up, the man seems to have just left, who is it? Was it just a quarrel? Why? ”

I said perfunctorily: "It's another bad brother, it's not a quarrel, it's just a little loud, I didn't expect to quarrel with you." ”

"Another bad big brother? Why come here? Xia Xia looked like he broke the casserole and asked to the end.

I turned my head to look at Yan Cuo, what should I say? It's impossible for me to hide his injury from Xia Xia under his nose, I can't last half a day.

"Just come and see......" I said absent-mindedly.

Xia Xia nodded, and looked at me strangely: "Why are you staying in this guy's room?" He is so stingy, if he finds out that you have entered his room again, and he will scold you viciously, I will not help you at that time. ”

"Yan is wrong for him......"

Xia Xia walked in strangely and naturally saw Yan Cuo on the bed.

Yan Cuo still looked dead, as if he had stopped breathing-
