Chapter 42: Framed
The wide city gate and high wall are majestic and majestic, and they are already in sight. Ahead is Starfall County.
After leaving the Red Flame Forest, Ren Xiaoyao ran all the way, and now he had come to the outside of Starfall County. Thinking back on this journey to the Starfall Land, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, with the help of the Holy King's Heart, he obtained the Red Star Iron Essence and the Ancestral Silver Mother, and after absorbing some of the energy of the Supreme Flame, his strength also increased by one level, and he came to the peak of the seventh layer of the Ning Xuan Realm, and crossed the threshold of the sixth or seventh layer. At the same time, he also sent a favor to the future king of mercenaries, with the character of Ye Qian, the king of mercenaries, it is impossible not to remember this favor of him.
Such a harvest is not insignificant. However, at the thought of almost becoming the "slave" of Xia Huowu's naughty little princess, Ren Xiaoyao still couldn't help but shudder - fortunately he ran out, otherwise he wouldn't know how to be tossed!
Back in Starfall County, Ren Yao walked straight to Ren's mansion. He was forcibly left behind by Huo Wu, and he didn't return with the others, he must have passed back to the ears of his family and father, and when he learned that he had become a "slave" of the princess of Xiliang Kingdom, his father would definitely be anxious, and Ren Xiaoyao didn't want his father to continue to worry.
However, as soon as he entered the Ren Mansion, Ren Xiaoyao met a few generals who were hurrying out, and was almost knocked down by them. He just wanted to open his mouth to ask what was going on, but he saw one of the generals look at him with disdain and said, "Hmph, it turns out to be a traitor to the family, get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
This man has a fierce attitude, full of contempt and dissatisfaction.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the other people again, and after seeing himself, these generals had a trace of surprise on their faces, and they were all immediately full of disdain and dissatisfaction.
What's going on?
Ren Xiaoyao felt strange in his heart, knowing that there must be something strange in this. Although he is not a real orthodox young master in the Ren family, at least he has the title of a young master, and ordinary generals and subordinates are still polite when they see themselves, how can they have such a situation today? From the family generals' strange attitude towards themselves, it can be guessed that some unexpected things must have happened in the past few days when they were not at home!
He glanced at these generals, and without much excuse, he ran straight to the side courtyard where he and his father lived. The first priority is to figure out what is going on.
"Dad, I'm back!" As soon as Ren Xiaoyao ran into the side courtyard, he saw his father's majestic back.
Ren Canglong turned his head and saw a smile on his son's familiar face, and couldn't help but show a hint of joy, but this joy was fleeting, turning into heavy worry and anger: "Yao'er, you kneel!"
Seeing his father's reaction, Ren Xiaoyao was shocked, but immediately understood: his father must have heard some rumors and misunderstood him.
He didn't explain immediately, but knelt on the ground first.
After living for a lifetime, Ren Xiaoyao once watched his father die in front of him. Only when he has lost it will he know what is precious, so he knows very well how precious the relationship between father and son is! Although he knew that his father had misunderstood him, he was still extremely respectful and obedient to his father, knelt on the ground and said: "Father, don't be angry first, tell me what you have heard?"
"Hmph, Yao'er, tell me, is your so-called master from Xiliang Kingdom?!" Ren Canglong still had an angry face and snorted.
"Xiliangguo? Of course not. Ren Xiaoyao was still confused, and he didn't know what this matter had to do with his "master". Because he knew in his heart that his "master" did not exist at all, and he made it up by himself.
"Dad, why do you ask?"
Hearing Ren Xiaoyao answer no, Ren Canglong took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and continued: "Before you come back, Hu Wei and Hu Meng have already reported to the family. They said that when you were in the land of Starfall, not only did you not behave well and win glory for your family, but after everyone worked hard to discover the meteorite mine, you told the Xiliang people the location of the meteorite mine, which led to the iron concentrate that belonged to my Great Xia Emperor's Court, and was divided into thirty percent by the Xiliang people. And you became a minion of the Xiliang Kingdom, became a subordinate of the princess, betrayed the family, and betrayed the Great Xia Emperor!
"Huh?" Ren Xiaoyao listened carefully to his father's words, first stunned, and then furious!
The meteorite containing iron essence was indeed discovered by the Great Xia Emperor's court first, and was later divided into three percent by the Xiliang Kingdom. But this incident was completely facilitated by Xia Huowu, the situation was stronger than people at that time, and even Fu Lei had no choice, so he had to give up the Sancheng Iron Spirit Meteorite, and he had a Mao relationship with Ren Xiaoyao?
But in the mouths of the two brothers, Ren Xiaoyao has become a great sinner, a traitor and a traitor who has caused losses to the imperial court and humiliated the family!
By now, Ren Xiaoyao finally understood that it was no wonder that those generals would look at him with contempt and disgust, and no wonder even his father was so worried and even misunderstood him...... It turned out that Ren Huwei and Ren Humeng framed themselves as traitors!
"Okay, you're Ren Huwei, you're Ren Humeng! Two bloody brutes!" Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart. But now, it was not time for him to get angry, and he had to quickly explain it to his father.
He told the story of that day in the Starfall Land, including the fact that they had just discovered the Iron Spirit Meteorite, to Xia Huowu's appearance with her people, to how she got Sancheng Iron Concentrate from General Fu Lei, and how she became a "slave" of Fire Dance later...... Everything and details are clearly stated. Of course, the details of his Saint King's Heart and other secrets were all omitted by Ren Yao, and it did not have any impact on the authenticity of the whole thing.
Listening to Ren Xiaoyao's words, Ren Canglong thought for a moment, his eyebrows locked. He came to Ren Xiaoyao and helped him up with both hands: "Get up first, son, in fact, when I heard the words of the tiger and the tiger, I didn't believe it at all." I don't believe that my son would do such a rebellious thing, but unfortunately they said it so conclusively, and you didn't come back with them, so I can't argue it for you in front of the head of the family and the many elders. Later, I thought of your mysterious master, and I was worried that your master was from Xiliang Kingdom, so he would lead you astray......"
"I know father, as long as you believe in me, that's enough. Don't worry, my master is not from Xiliang Kingdom, he does not belong to any faction, but a master from the Battle Pole Star!" Ren Xiaoyao showed a bright smile, reassuring his father's heart.
Ren Canglong nodded, looking at Ren Xiaoyao's performance, he suddenly felt that his son had matured.
In the face of slander and gushing accusations, he can still deal with it calmly, and such a state of mind appears in a fourteen-year-old boy, which is really commendable. However, his frowning brows still did not stretch: "It is not enough for me to believe in you, because the family master and the elders have already believed the words of the tiger, even if you stand up and defend now, I am afraid they will not believe you." ”
Ren Canglong thought for a moment, and then said: "In this way, you go with me to find the head of the family, I will vouch for you with my life, I believe that I can save some of the situation." ”
"No!" Ren Xiaoyao flatly refused.
The father's vouching for himself with his life may be able to play a role in giving the elders a chance to speak. But in the face of Ren Huwei and Ren Humeng's slander, with his and his father's status in the family, I am afraid that I will not get too much support from people. When the time comes, not only will he not be able to clear his name, but he will also be involved in his father.
"Father, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll take care of it myself. Believe me, the truth of the matter will soon be revealed!"
Ren Xiaoyao's tone was very resolute, which made his father, who was originally worried about him, unconsciously believe him.
Although Ren Canglong was still very puzzled about what his son could do to solve it, when he saw his son's firm eyes and calm look, he naturally believed it: If his son said that he could handle it well, he would definitely be able to handle it.
"Okay Yao'er, this matter is up to you. I'm afraid that the news of your return has reached the ears of the head of the family, and he will soon send someone to arrest you, how will you explain it then?"
Ren Xiaoyao nodded approvingly. He had met so many generals just now, presumably they had already reported the news of their return to Ren Canghu. Now that he has no evidence, he must not be able to say Ren Huwei and Ren Humeng, so he can't be caught now, and it's not time to go to court.
"Father, what Ren Huwei and the two of them said has already left a preconceived impression on the elders, and no matter how I explain it, they won't believe me. What's more, the two of them are the biological sons of the head of the family, and no one will believe me, but choose to believe them. So I can't come forward now, I'm going to leave the family first and find enough evidence before I come back. ”
"Hmm. It's all bad for my father, I know that you have been wronged, but I can't stand up for you......" Ren Canglong sighed abruptly, looking at Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, full of apology and self-blame.
However, Ren Xiaoyao smiled with a sunny face: "Father, don't think so! Don't worry, this little thing will not be difficult for me to let me Xiaoyao, and I will soon return to the family openly! And our father and son will never be bullied by anyone in the future!"
"Well, you go Yao'er, be more careful!" Ren Canglong patted his son's shoulder and nodded heavily.
Ren Xiaoyao turned around and strode towards the back door of the courtyard. At this moment, his mind was full of mixed feelings and thoughts.
He knew deep down that his father was not a cowardly and incompetent man. On the contrary, my father was one of the few powerhouses in the Martial Pole Star, and his strength had reached the Imperial Star Realm! At the same time, my father was also the only one in the entire Ren family who was a strong person in the Imperial Star Realm!
However, his father never competed with Ren Canghu, Ren Cangyue and others, in the Ren family, he never fought for power, never bullied others by force, and never ganged up. Even he deliberately hid his strength and didn't show too eye-catching, lest he overshadow Ren Canghu and others.
The reason why this is so is because my father is grateful for the adoption of Ren Fengshuang back then, and feels that he owes the Ren family a love.
Back then, Ren Canglong was an abandoned orphan, but thanks to the generalissimo Ren Fengshuang's take-in, he was able to survive, and gave him the name Ren Canglong. His cultivation was also taught by Ren Fengshuang. Before Ren Fengshuang died, he intended to let Ren Canglong accept the position of head of the family and inherit his mantle, but Ren Canglong refused. He said to Ren Fengshuang at that time: "I am not a descendant of the Ren family, but I have received great favor by my godmother......
A promise is as heavy as a thousand pounds. I will never forget the kindness of the year!
Since then, Ren Canglong has taken Ren Xiaoyao with him, loyally assisting the Ren family, working hard, without regrets. Even if he and his son were embarrassed and excluded in the Ren family, he never regretted his choice......!
Ren Xiaoyao is precisely because he knows this, and when he was a child, he was also deeply loved by Ren Fengshuang, so he is also very grateful to Ren Fengshuang. After he returned from rebirth, he also thought about this matter many times: to the Ren family, their father and son owe a little kindness, how to repay this kindness?
With Ren Canglong's idea, that is, to dedicate his life to the Ren family, without regrets. But Ren Xiaoyao doesn't think so.
Especially after he was provoked by Ren Huwei and Ren Hu many times, especially after he returned from rebirth, knowing that the Ren family was going to perish under the leadership of Ren Canghu and his two sons, he didn't think so much!
"Hmph, Ren Huwei, Ren Humeng, although you two are grandma's descendants, but for the Ren family, you are a cancer and a scourge! Now that you are looking for your own death, don't blame me for no longer caring for my feelings and showing no mercy to my subordinates! Grandma, you will never forget your care for our father and son back then. Soon, I will clean up the portal for you, so that the Ren family can continue to grow and develop......"
What Ren Huwei and Ren Humeng did was already to put Ren Yao to death. Although Ren Xiaoyao missed Ren Fengshuang's kindness back then, he was bullied to the head, and he had no reason to swallow his anger!
The killing experience in his previous life has given Ren Xiaoyao a clear principle: no matter who he is, as long as there is a way to die, then there is no need to hesitate, he will be punished!
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao already has a desire to kill those two young masters.
