Dongfang Che nodded solemnly, then moved his gaze to the red carp and Jinyue, frowned, and said, "Can you show me?" ”

I was overjoyed, but I heard Sister Yu say in my ear: "Please also ask Mr. Dongfang to go to the cold house to talk, this is not the place to talk." ”

Dongfang Che nodded again and again, followed us into the car, and ran towards Yao's house.

There was nothing to say all the way, and it was almost evening when I arrived at the place, and when I entered the gate, Yao Erye was still sitting in a wheelchair and rushed straight to the door, and when he saw all of us returning, his face was slightly relieved, but then he tightened and changed color: "Old eight? ”

Ji Zongbu nodded indifferently, did not speak, and walked into the house, after I informed Second Master Yao of the situation of the red carp and Jinyue, and asked him to arrange a place for them to see a doctor and treat their injuries, I also hurriedly followed.

"Close the door."

As soon as I entered the house, I heard Ji Zongbu staring at me with a cold face, and the grim meaning in his eyes made me shudder.

After relieving himself and closing the door, he looked at Ji Zongbu again, and found that the expression on his face was slightly restrained, and he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to me and said, "Your letter." ”

Letter?

Slightly stunned, he took the letter in his hand in two steps, and said curiously: "Who gave it to me." ”

"Nine Springs Mansion."

"The letter from the Nine Springs Mansion?"

glanced at Ji Zongbu in surprise, opened the yellow paper in his hand with doubts, and touched it lightly, like rice paper with a thousand years of paper life.

Ding Hai year, Wu Shen month, Xin Si day

Bai Bingde, lawless, cholera in the world, in the same year, the water of the Yellow River flooded Sanchawan, resulting in the death of one hundred and thirty-five villages for no reason, the crime is monstrous, heaven and earth do not tolerate, people and gods are angry, after the trial of the three divisions of Jiuquan Mansion, will be in the year of Wuzi, Bingchen month, Jiaxu day to open the knife to behead the Jiuquan execution platform, in order to vent the anger of the public.

Nine Springs House Seal.

"Bai, Bai Bingde, ask for a cut?"

The yellowed rice paper pierced the heart, like a sharp knife slashing at the chest, and the whole person stood on the spot, trembling violently all over his body, speechless for a long time.

"Originally, I planned to hide this matter from you, but after thinking about it, with your relationship with the woman in the ancient road, it was only a matter of time before I knew about it, so I thought it would be better to tell you in advance, so I might as well be mentally prepared."

Listening to Ji Zongbu's words, I raised my head in a muttered voice and said in a trembling voice: "What are you going to prepare, ready to accept the reality of my father's beheading?" ”

Ji Zongbu sighed slightly and said, "This case was tried by the three divisions of Jiuquan Mansion, and finally decided by the four adults, it is already a sure thing, and there is no turning point." ”

"Why, why did they behead my father, all the crimes on this are clearly not my father's doing, don't they know?" I said through gritted teeth.

"Then do you want to kill your grandfather?" Ji Zongbu said in a deep voice.

"My grandfather?"

I suddenly said in ecstasy: "Yes, and my grandfather, our Bai family has served as Jiuquan River Patrol for generations, and we are even more kind to Jiuquan Mansion, as long as my grandfather comes forward, they will definitely let my father go!" ”

"Grace?"

Ji Zongbu raised his eyelids and said, "How is Han Xin to Liu Bang?" How is Yue Fei to Song Gaozong? What about Liu Bowen to Zhu Yuanzhang? These virtuous ministers and good generals who have opened up territories and expanded their territory for a generation of emperors, which one can hide from the end of the rabbit and the dead dog, and the end of the bow and the bird, a sentence of high merit covers the master, but the status and relationship between the monarch and the minister are exhausted, not to mention that what your Bai family has done has already passed a thousand years, and even the Jiuquan Mansion has been renovated twice, and the adults inside have changed batch after batch, until now, who still remembers what your Bai family has done. ”

I was slightly stunned, but I still shook my head in disbelief and said, "I don't believe that my grandfather will sit idly by while my father is beheaded." ”

Ji Zongbu squinted his eyes and said, "Yes, can you think that those scheming adults can't calculate, so beheading your father is just a pretense, the purpose is to lure your grandfather to take action, so as to get rid of your Bai family, so as to prevent future troubles!" ”

"Why?" I couldn't believe it: "Why did he kill my father and my grandfather, our Bai family has served Jiuquan Mansion for generations, and even saved Jiuquan Jiuquan from annihilation, why did he want to get rid of the Bai family?!" ”

"It's because all these things were done by your Bai family, that's why you can't keep them!"

Ji Zongbu shook his head and said: "The prestige of the Bai family in the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs is too high, usually the Jiuquan Mansion needs to be done with ten documents, but it can't match a word from your Bai family, in the eyes of any person in power, it can't tolerate the existence of such a big piece of sand, not to mention that the current owner of the Jiuquan Mansion is a powerful person in the world with great ambitions, and it is not a matter of a day or two to get involved in the Yellow River Ancient Road. ”

"What's more, your grandfather did not go directly to the Nine Springs Mansion to report after his death, but refined himself into a monster who is neither human nor corpse, but he still retains a prestige far superior to the Nine Springs Mansion in the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, what does this mean, I don't need to say more, I think you know it very well."

I was speechless for a while, thinking that when the ferryman from Xudu Prison arrested me, when faced with the difficult choice between Jiuquan Mansion and the Bai family, he chose the Bai family without too much hesitation, including my various encounters in Jiuquan and Jiuquan, and even whipped the soul, and then brought me back to life, all of which confirmed the words of the eighth master, but no matter what the reason and reason, he wanted to kill my father, I would never allow it!

"I know what you're thinking, you think your grandfather is invincible in the world, there is nothing he can't do, no problem that he can't solve, right?"

Ji Zongbu's faint voice sounded in my ears, I raised my head silently, looked at him noncommittally, and saw him squinting his eyes and said: "What is the point of your grandfather's strength, I haven't fought with him, I don't know very well, but there are four adults in Jiuquan Mansion, with my current strength, if I only fight against one of them, I can only barely fight to a draw, if it is one against two, I can't hold five moves and can only turn around and escape, one against three, I'm afraid I don't even have a chance to fight back, so I died on the spot." ”

"What's more, there are four of them in total, and there is a mansion master with unfathomable strength, if your grandfather really goes to rob the law field, if no one can save it, not to mention, he will be thrown there."

When Ji Zongbu said this, he looked up at me and said, "Are you thinking about the one who is on the ancient road?" ”

I was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"With the origin of the two of you thirteenth generation resentment, if you really ask her, then Princess Wushan will definitely do her best to help you, but there is still no chance of winning, the foundation of Jiuquan Mansion is far from being as simple as the outside world sees, and as one of the four major forces of the ancient road, her every move is coveted by many parties, and she can kill the nine prisons and nine springs in the name of robbing the law field, then the other three forces may take the opportunity to devour the territory she has worked hard in the ancient road for so many years, and she can also cooperate with Jiuquan Mansion in the name of the Dharma Protector Field, Get rid of Wu Shan quickly, no matter what, if she helps you, the price she will have to bear is immeasurable, maybe the thousand-year-old cultivation will be ruined in one fell swoop, do you really bear it? ”

Ji Zongbu stopped me.

Do I really want to recklessly ruin Wei Junyao's thousands of years of hard work for my own selfish desires?

The answer is obvious, I can't.

But if there is no her, my grandfather alone wants to rescue my father among the thousands of guards in Jiuquan Mansion, which is tantamount to a fool's dream, as the eighth master said, if you can't save people, you have to explain there.

This is the first time in my life that I feel so helpless and hesitant, hating myself for not having three heads and six arms, and not having the same skills as the eighth master, who can do my best to be a son of man when my father is in danger.

There is no if, fate is coming, is not something I can fight against as an ordinary man.

But if my father is beheaded by Jiuquan Mansion, no matter what I grow up to become, what I get, how much strength and power I have in the future, today's events will never be irreparable, and my life will be spent in darkness, and I will never see the light.

Only now do I realize that although the four words of helplessness seem to be plain, they are actually the greatest sorrow and pain in life.
