Chapter Fifty-Six: Broken Copper and Iron
Meng Qi frowned slightly, this is too urgent, but think about it, if you want to use Tang Mingyue to marry, you must be in such a hurry, Old Man Tang may pass away at any time, as the granddaughter of the long house, according to the etiquette, she must keep filial piety for three years, and now she can press the name of Chongxi.
"What is Miss Tang's own wishes?" Meng Qi thought of Tang Mingyue's kindness yesterday and asked.
He has been hiding in the backyard since he came back last night, and no one knows except Qi Zhengyan, in case Tang Ye Lingwan and the four families completely tear their faces, and the treasures and masters come out to kill, but when it comes to dawn, there is no movement, and he understands that the families still don't have the courage to act like this.
This is not the Western Regions, it is a more prosperous, more stable, and more orderly Great Jin, not only are there six doors watching, but the families and sects do not want their disciples to go out sooner rather than later.
Therefore, even if the four families planned the siege of Huayuelou, they did not dare to last too long, otherwise the six doors would definitely come to stop them, and if the six doors were killed, Meng Qi was not afraid of wandering the rivers and lakes, ordinary families had a foundation, and they would definitely not be able to escape the recourse afterwards, and they would not be ruined.
The guy looked at Meng Qi, who was only forced to retreat by the treasure soldiers who were said to have killed the Quartet last night, and his throat squirmed: "Of course Miss Tang Jiu doesn't want to, what kind of person is Ye Sangongzi, who doesn't know who in the whole Yi City?" It is said that she made a fuss for a while, but because Old Man Tang was in a coma, and there were no other relatives and elders in the long house, she failed to resist successfully. ”
Ye Sangongzi is more squirming and lewd than Tang Ergongzi at the beginning, and he is vicious and ruthless, and he is not once or twice killed in his room, who would want to marry him if the daughter of a normal family wants to marry him?
Meng Qi was silent and didn't say anything more until the guy went out and sighed suddenly.
"Do you want to pretend to be the second son of Tang?" Qi Zhengyan frowned slightly.
Meng Qi nodded lightly: "Well, although the second son of Tang has a disaster, there is something wrong with him. But after the assassins succeeded, they must have fled far away, and I only pretended to be for three days to stir up the situation and destroy the marriage, and when they sent someone again, I would have taken off my mask and turned back into Meng Qi, and they would still know that I couldn't pretend to be?"
"Miss Tang Jiu is kind to me, Tang Ye Lingwan and the four heads of the family have enmity with me, and the eldest husband is in the world. If there is no revenge and revenge, and kindness is repaid, how can the mind be at peace?"
After yesterday, he escaped safely, if the four families of Tang Ye Lingwan did not raise their vigilance, it would be strange to prevent themselves from assassinating important people in the family.
Although he can hide and hide, relying on the "immortal seal method" is special from the assassin's side, it takes time to assassinate them one by one. But in this way, it may not be able to stop the marriage, and wait until the marriage is set to kill Ye Xiaojie, the third son of Ye, plus the reminder of Tang Mingyue of Huayue Tower that day. There will definitely be rumors that he and Tang Mingyue are secretly communicating with each other, and they are in love, so they stop the rumors of marriage.
This kind of gossip is okay with itself. But Tang Mingyue is the daughter of a family, and her reputation is very important, if the two really have feelings. Becoming a couple afterwards is a good story, but she has no feelings for Tang Mingyue at all, and she has never thought of "promising each other with her body", acting like this, Tang Mingyue's reputation will be ruined, and for a young lady like her, it is tantamount to life is worse than death.
Moreover, this is the Great Jin, not the Western Regions, it is impossible to let yourself assassinate unscrupulously, as long as it succeeds a few times, and it affects people outside the original action, the masters of the Six Doors and the masters of the Zhou Jun Wang clan will definitely come to arrest them, things are not as easy as imagined, otherwise the family that did not have a half-step exterior suppression would have been wiped out by the leftist figures.
Qi Zhengyan took a light breath and didn't stop it, but just pointed out the difficulty: "Just relying on the mask, you may not be able to hide it from your relatives?" We don't know the demeanor, preferences and habits of the second prince of Tang, and he is a little taller than you. ”
"Tang Ergongzi has been out for many years, has experienced hardships, has achieved martial arts, it is normal for his manners, preferences and habits to change, and he injured his throat at the time, I can use this as a reason to talk as little as possible, so as not to be exposed, as for the height...... Meng Qi smiled suddenly, his body made a crisp sound, he raised an inch taller, his face and muscles squirmed slightly, and at first glance it seemed that he had become another person.
Qi Zhengyan's mouth was half open: "This?"
"This is the wonder of the Eight or Nine Xuangong, the delicate and powerful control of the body. Meng Qi said with a smile, "I can also adjust my appearance to resemble Tang Ergongzi by five or six points according to the mask." ”
When you enter the Tang family, it will be much more convenient to do things as the second son of Tang, and sooner or later you will make up for the loss of your Bingque!
Even if the Tang family doubts the truth or falsehood, they are happy to rip it off, anyway, as long as they muddy the water for three days, they don't want to pretend for a long time.
Qi Zhengyan was surprised, and said in a deep voice: "You go out of the city with me first, and I will give you the information of the Tang family collected by this gate, and then be careful in everything." ”
............
The mansion of the Tang family is located in the place where Shangshui goes out of the city, the courtyard is deep, and the moss spreads, showing the vicissitudes and heritage of the century-old family.
Because it was Tang Wuye who "assassinated" the head of the Huanhua Sword Sect and died, the rest of the Tang family did not agree to hold a funeral for him, because this was like declaring war on the Huanhua Sword Sect, so only their room had a cry, and the rest of the Tang Mansion remained the same, but the entire mansion seemed to be gloomy and bleak, and the undercurrent was turbulent.
Several guards at the door peeked inside the door from time to time, occasionally glancing at each other, and they all sighed.
"What does the second master think, marry Miss Nine to Ye San's bastard!" said a guard through gritted teeth.
Ye San's notoriety spread far and wide, and even ordinary people didn't want their daughters to marry him, let alone the big family!
Another guard sighed: "The shape is stronger than the people, if you don't marry, tie up the Ye family, and be close to the Wang family, you won't be able to establish a clan in Yicheng at all." ”
"Phew! If it weren't for the second master, the fifth master, and the seventh master, they were confused and gave up the strong reinforcement of the Huanhua Sword Sect, why would they have fallen to this point? Hmph, and why did the marriage get Miss Nine, the thirteenth miss of the seventh master's family is too young to mention, and the sixth miss of the second master's family has already reached the age of leaving the cabinet!" The guard next to him cursed in a low voice, "I think the second master wants to take the opportunity to kick Miss Nine out, and it is not a matter of not having a female family master in the past!"
For the family, the situation of the female head of the family is very rare, and there are generally only two possibilities, one is that the head of the family has only one daughter left in this room, and she is talented, especially more than the men in other rooms, plus the head of the family and the elders support it, so that she becomes the head of the family and recruits a son-in-law. The second is that this woman has strong enough reinforcements to suppress the entire family.
Tang Mingyue does not have all the conditions, unless Old Man Tang suddenly wakes up, relying on years of coercion and the elder Keqing who is only loyal to him, he makes this decision strongly, but if he dies, Tang Mingyue, the head of the family, will not be able to sit steadily, but Tang Erye and others hurriedly set a marriage for her, or the worst choice to choose, which is inevitably puzzling.
The guard who spoke first shook his head and said, "It is said that the head of the Ye family personally asked Ye San to marry Miss Jiu, saying that he wanted her to control Ye San. Hey, if he could manage it, why would he have gone himself?"
Ye San can be so domineering, there is no doubt that he is the son of the head of the family.
Thinking that Miss Jiu, who is like a flower and jade, is kind, and never puts on a show, is going to marry Ye San, who hates gods and ghosts, these guards are also quite depressed, look at each other, and sigh again. This kind of thing, they don't have a say at all.
Suddenly, a slightly thin man walked slowly, holding a long knife wrapped in a black scabbard in his left hand. The momentum is cold, and the eyes are sharp.
"The visitor stopped. One of the guards rushed up to meet him.
The man was none other than Meng Qi, who had already put on his mask and looked at the guards at this time. looked at the "Tang Mansion" plaque hanging at the door again, and said in a hoarse voice: "When did I become a guest?"
"You ......" The guard looked at Meng Qi in surprise, and then he felt that he was a little similar to Old Man Tang.
A guard who had been in the Tang Mansion for many years jumped in his eyelids. Surprised and delighted, he said, "Second Young Master?"
Meng Qi bowed his head lightly, pretending to be a family and said arrogantly: "It's hard for you to remember me." ”
Hell knows who he is!
"You, you're not dead, it's good! You're just right to come back!" The guard looked at it carefully, and was sure that it was his second young master from the height and appearance, and his face was ecstatic.
Meng Qi said hoarsely, "What's wrong?"
A few guards, you and I will tell you a rough story, Meng Qi patiently listened to the news that he had heard a long time ago, and finally said in a deep voice: "Eldest brother is like a father, who dares to fight the idea of the ninth sister, you have to ask me about the knife in my hand first!"
"Take me to meet the second uncle. ”
The guards separated one person and led Meng Qi into the mansion, while the rest looked at the second young master curiously and expectantly, and suddenly found that the distance he took was exactly the same with each step, which was like a measurement!
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master's strength ......" They were dumbfounded, although they were ordinary guards, they still had this bit of eyesight!
............
In the hall of the Tang family, no one sits on the first two Taishi chairs to show that the head of the family is still there, and there is a square chair on the left and right sides to the door, and the chairs are separated by small square tables for tea.
The left hand is the master, the right is the guest, the left hand leader is a fifty-year-old man and a half-hundred, with wide robes and big sleeves, wearing a beam crown, he is an elegant man who is nearly forty years old, holding a folding fan, smiling at the corner of his mouth, and there are several elders, the leader of the guest and several young masters of Tang Ergongzi's generation, Tang Mingyue also sat by the door because he was the only child of the long house.
The top on the right is a young son-in-law, with a national face, a wide nose and a wide mouth, dignified behavior, and a long sword at his waist, sitting there, giving people the feeling of Yue Zhiyuan, below him is the head of Ye Ling's family and several elders of the Nine Apertures, and then Ye San and the sister-in-law of the other two families - Ling Dagongzi, Wansan Gongzi.
"Mingyue, the Ye family is so sincere, tomorrow you will be engaged to Xiaojie, and it can be regarded as a joy for the old man. Second Master Tang said majestically.
Tang Mingyue's face turned pale, and she glanced at Ye San, who was frowning at her, and said forcefully: "Second uncle, I am the daughter of the long house, and the marriage must be agreed by the head of the family, although you are temporarily the head of the family, you are not the real head of the family." ”
Ye San said with a smile: "Mingyue, what you said is not right, if the old man passes away, the position of the head of the family is either Second Uncle Tang or Seventh Uncle Tang, they all agree that you will marry me, what is the difference between this and the decision of the head of the family?"
That makes sense...... Everyone else bowed their heads slightly.
Tang Mingyue took a deep breath and said, "My second brother is the son of the eldest family, the head of the family according to the etiquette law, if he is not dead, how can the second uncle and seventh uncle decide my marriage?"
Ye San spread out his fan and shook it: "Huti Tang Er's life and death are uncertain, and the position of the head of the family cannot always wait for him, even if he returns intact, with his broken copper and iron knife technique, how can he serve the public, how can he become the head of the family?"
"Yes, Tang Er was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy by the third brother, if he became the head of the family, it would only be a shame for the Tang family!" Ling Da and Wan San echoed with a smile.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded:
"Ye San, then you take me and try to break the copper and iron. ”
Meng Qi's evil calamity was pulled out, and his movements were like precise measurements.
As the long knife came out of its sheath, he appeared in the hall as if he had shrunk into inches, and the sword light skyrocketed, fierce and domineering, and seemed to be indestructible!
Wang Zai, who was at the top of the right, sighed lightly, and his right hand subconsciously held the hilt of the sword. (To be continued......)
