Chapter 11 Reluctance to Compromise
couldn't stand the repeated requests of his mother Chen Cuiping, and at dinner, Xia Haoran still removed the seal and let the junior Xia Haohan come out to have a reunion dinner together. During www.biquge.info the banquet, Xia Haode also formally put forward his idea of joining the army, and also said that he was going to buy a house in the county seat to settle his family.
In the case that Chen Yaozhu and Chen Cuiping did not clearly object, the matter of the Xia family's collective move into the county seat was also settled.
After the meal, when the second elder cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Haoran quietly gave Xia Haode a look, and the two brothers turned around leisurely and left Xia's house and came to a dense forest outside Horseshoe Town.
"In the afternoon, I bumped into the big son of the Ma family, this kid saw my deliberately murderous aura but pretended to be fine, I guess the Ma family's relocation is in the past two days. In the silver woods reflected by the moonlight, Xia Haoran, who was sitting on an old tree stump, said with a leisurely expression.
Standing on the side and looking at the sky, how could Xia Haode not hear the killing intent in his younger brother's words, unlike Xia Haoran, who was smiling on the outside and vicious on the inside, Xia Haode, who was calm and atmospheric but heroic, sighed softly at the silver moon in the sky and said, "How many times have I said that you are not allowed to move the Ma family." Why are you so persistent?"
"It's just angry. In just five words, it shows the darkness in Xia Haoran's heart, it seems that he is angry with the Ma family's fall into the well back then, but in fact, he is more angry about Xia Feifei's marriage. After all, if his family still has those shops, why would the Xia family 'sell women for money'.
Hearing Xia Haoran's words, Xia Haode turned around suddenly, staring at the second brother in front of him with his eyes, and after watching for nearly a cup of tea, Xia Haode slowly exhaled and said, "Within this Taicang County, perhaps your cultivation talent is the most outstanding. But compared to the heroes of the world, what are you Xia Haoran?"
"Big brother, why do you want to protect the Ma family so much? They want to move to northern Jiangsu, thousands of miles away, do you think those mountain bandits and land on the way will let go of this Ma family, who has a huge amount of money and does not have too strong force to support them? As long as they dare to step out of Taicang County, I am sure that those who secretly received the Ma family's land at a low price will be the first to jump out and take the lives of their whole family. Big brother, you and I are going to go out for the future, whether you have a life to return to your hometown is a matter of two words. The Ma family is stupid and wants to run away with their family, how can the sky not accept it?" Xia Haoran, who had a faint cold light in his eyes, also stared at the eldest brother's eyes unceremoniously.
Xia Haode knew the meaning of his words, but he Xia Haode didn't care about the murder and seizure of property. Xia Haode, who was still tough, shook his head, turned to look at the full moon hanging in the sky, and said, "It's not a bad thing to be ruthless, and it's not wrong to be greedy. But if you think you are right, you should be dead, Xiao Er, you should understand what I'm talking about. Other people in the Ma family who have ideas can kill and take it, but our Xia family can't do it. ”
It's not so easy for Sheng Shi to kill people and take money, unless you are willing to go to the grass. Otherwise, the county lieutenant in the county and the fast catcher are not decorations, even if your family is strong in the local area, but are you stronger than the millions of soldiers and horses of the Great Wei Dynasty, or the three great martial gods?
Taking the Xia family as an example, if they don't do this thing of destroying the door and seizing the wealth, the people who have the heart of the county lieutenant throne will not let go of this opportunity to overthrow Xiangyang. Even if you know that it wasn't the Xia family who did it, even if you falsely accuse others, you will try it. After all, Xia Haode, who went out of the house to do things, had three more years of experience in eating imperial food on errands than Xia Haoran, who was at home, and the cruelty between the factions of officialdom and the ruthlessness between the folk clans were not something that could be seen by reading a book.
Xia Haoran, who was so stubborn that he was a little paranoid, pouted his lips very disapprehensively at the eldest brother's words and said, "How can anything, as long as you and my cultivation do not fall, who dares to denounce them? Aren't they afraid that the Ma family will become their example?"
"Alas" Hearing Xia Haoran's words, Xia Haode couldn't help but sigh. How could the second brother, who is usually smart and wise, be so unwise in this matter? Since people want to do it, they won't let the Xia family have the ability to fight back, why can't he understand such a simple thing?
"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for pressing you as the eldest brother, Xia Haoran, I officially tell you, you are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the Ma family, understand?" Xia Haode, who was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, did not look at Xia Haoran behind him, and directly forced him as the eldest brother of the Xia family.
Hearing this, Xia Haoran's face became very ugly, and he jumped up from the stump in an instant and looked at the back of his eldest brother. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I hope your judgment is right this time." "The Xia family brothers, who are gradually coming of age, also have their own worldviews, and they are also very different in how they behave and deal with things. At present, this is not enough to affect the relationship between their brothers, but if this continues for a long time, it is inevitable that the brothers will fall apart against the wall.
When the second brother compromised, Xia Haode, who was carrying his back, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As the son of the Xia family, he has to think more about the future of the entire Xia family, his mother, the second mother, the third and fourth children, and his sister Xia Feifei, who is married to a wife, he must think more about them before doing things.
Compared with the steady development that the eldest Xia Haode is more watching, the second Xia Haoran thinks more about how to make the Xia family brilliant. Feeling capable, he didn't want his family to live the life he had before, and the 10,000 taels of tattooed silver wanted to support the two monks to cultivate with all their might, and it wouldn't be long before he could use it.
The two brothers of the Xia family, who were standing in the forest and were speechless, looked at the moon in the middle of the sky like this, watching the moon slowly disappear into the clouds. Until the team with torches and carts on the official road outside Horseshoe Town appeared.
"Let's go, go home and sleep, and talk about something when you wake up. Xia Haode, who had forty-seven forging cultivation, even if he was a mile or two away from the towing team in front of him, he could see Ma Chengye walking in front of the team with a torch, and his face that was a little flustered against the backdrop of the firelight.
Similarly, Xia Haoran also saw the team that came out of Horseshoe Town, and Xia Haoran, who was unhappy in his heart, had to sigh and follow the steps of his eldest brother to detour through the forest and walk towards the town.
After walking less than three or five miles, Ma Chengye, who was at the forefront, successively encountered several farmers outside the town who were carrying torches and hoes ready to go down to the fields to cultivate, and many of them were tenants who planted horses' land.
"Master Ma, you're early in the morning, what is this?" Yu Heizi, who was carrying a hoe, looked at Ma Chengye, who was driving the carriage oncoming, and hurriedly let Yu Heizi and his companions go to the side of the road and greeted him with a smile.
Yu Heizi's overtures did not get a response from Ma Chengye, so the two people on the side of the road could only watch the convoy of three carriages slowly leave Horseshoe Town. When the convoy was far away, Yu Heizi and his companions returned to the middle of the road.
"It seems that this Xia family brother is going to make a move. The companion who was also carrying a hoe and preparing to go to the field suddenly opened his mouth and whispered softly to Yu Kuroko.
"Phew, the old man who is dying and still pretends to be a bird's egg. Yu Heizi, who spit out thick phlegm at the distant carriage with disdain, complained loudly and then lowered his voice: "Let's go, this field still has to be planted by us, and the brothers of the Xia family are not good people, if this year's grain can't be beaten, do you think the Xia family will let us go?"
PS: 'Killing horses' is a well-known thing, Xia Haoran takes him for granted, but Xia Haode's experience tells him that he can't do it, and the country of Great Wei is still firm.
