Chapter 887: Blood Is Thicker Than Water (2)
"Daddy?"
"Father-in-law, how did you ......?"
Teng Sanshi looked at Xiao and Yun, who were stunned, and rushed forward in great strides, staring at Xiao Zhirou who was in chaos with violently trembling eyes, and said in disbelief: "Liu Xunyi is ...... Is it really my grandson?"
"Dad, I ......"
"Don't make up stories to lie to me, although my father is old, he is not confused. Before Xiao Zhirou, who had no master of the six gods, opened her mouth to prevaricate, Teng Sanshi had already interrupted sternly, "You just need to tell me, this matter ...... Is it true or not?"
Today's Teng Sanshi has gray hair and wrinkles, although he is still in good spirits and has a tiger's back, but it is very different from the high-spirited and high-spirited "Teng Patriarch" in Xiao Zhirou's memory.
In fact, the years have changed far more than just appearance, but also mood.
In Xiao Zhirou's memory, the former Teng Sanshi was full of enthusiasm and Top Gun, no matter what storms he encountered, he could "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face". But today, he has become sentimental, and he is not only less aggressive than before, but even his emotions have become easy to fluctuate.
It is undeniable that Teng Sanshi is really old, and the twilight of heroes is often more pathetic than ordinary people.
Therefore, when Xiao Zhirou saw Teng Sanshi, who was anxious and full of anticipation, she couldn't help but feel inexplicably sad, and she couldn't bear to continue to lie to him.
Looking at Teng Sanshi, who couldn't wait, and then looking at Yun Chasing the Moon who wanted to stop talking, Xiao Zhirou hesitated for a long time before she made up her mind and nodded heavily: "Actually, I not only gave birth to Ping'er back then, but also looked for clothes. They are twin siblings......"
"Shhh
Xiao Zhirou's words woke up the person in the dream, Rao is Teng Sanshi boasted that he was mentally prepared, but he was still speechless. His head was dizzy, and he staggered a few steps, if it weren't for Yun Chaiyue's timely support, he would have to sit on the ground.
"Daddy......"
"Father-in-law......"
"No problem!"
Teng Sanshi interrupted Xiao Zhirou's concern, pushed away Yun Chaiyue's support, shook his body a few times, and then stood motionless, his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, his face was cloudy, and his heart was so shocked that the muscles of his whole body trembled.
"Liu Xunyi...... It's my grandson......" Teng Sanshi was in a trance, constantly recalling the few bits and pieces of intersection with Liu Xunyi in his mind, and kept muttering to himself, "He turned out to be my grandson......"
Teng Sanshi's strange reaction made Xiao Zhirou and Yun Chaiyue have a lot of thoughts and mixed tastes.
"Father-in-law!" Yun Chaiyue boldly figured out Teng Sanshi's thoughts, and said comfortingly, "Although Liu Xunyi is your grandson, he didn't grow up in Xiangxi after all, and he hasn't been taught by you. Therefore, his 'fall' has nothing to do with his father-in-law, and the Teng clan should not be implicated in vain......"
"What do you mean by 'degenerate'?" Xiao Zhirou's face sank, and she said angrily, "Xunyi is my flesh and blood, our mother and son are of the same heart, and his fall is my ...... fall."
"Rou'er, you misunderstood!" Yun Chaiyue quickly explained, "I mean...... There is no need for the stepfather and the Teng clan to deviate from the orthodoxy of martial arts because of Liu Xunyi, so that the foundation that the Teng clan in Xiangxi has worked so hard to lay will be ruined. After all, Qingfeng is the leader of the martial arts alliance, his father-in-law is the deputy leader of the martial arts alliance, but Liu Xunyi is a notorious rebel and thief......
"Bastard!"
Teng Sanshi was furious and shouted violently, interrupting the argument between Xiao Zhirou and Yun Chaiyue.
"Du Xiang, do you think that the old man is a generation that tends to be inflammatory, greedy for life and afraid of death?" Teng Sanshi, who was furious, opened his eyes and scolded sharply, "What does it mean to 'have nothing to do with it'? What does it mean to be 'implicated in vain'? Since Liu Xunyi is my grandson, he is a blood relative who broke bones and tendons, how can he have nothing to do with the old man? How can he have nothing to do with the Teng clan? If I can even abandon my own grandson for self-preservation, can I still be considered a human being? It is simply a beast, and a pig and a dog are not as good!"
Looking at Teng Sanshi, who was righteous, a warm current welled up in Xiao Zhirou's heart, which made her surprised and burst into tears.
She has always refused to tell Teng Sanshi the truth, because she is worried that Liu Xunyi's "stigma" may affect the Teng clan and make Teng Sanshi in a dilemma.
Twenty years ago, Teng Sanshi did not hesitate to endure humiliation in order to take care of the reputation of the Teng clan. Although it is nominally to protect Xiao Zhirou's innocence, in fact, it is based on the overall situation. After all, he is the patriarch of the Teng clan in Xiangxi, and in case of trouble, he cannot only consider the gains and losses of one person and one family, but also the rise and fall of hundreds of families and thousands of families of the Teng clan.
Because of this, Xiao Zhirou wanted to say nothing to Teng Sanshi, not only for the honor and disgrace of the Teng family, but also for the safety of Liu Xunyi.
However, it turned out that Xiao Zhirou's worries were completely unnecessary. Tonight, Teng Sanshi declared the world with a clear attitude and a firm stance that family affection is far better than fame in his heart, and family is more important than everything.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhirou couldn't help but feel guilty for her "suspicion" of Teng Sanshi.
"Daddy......"
"Needless to say!" Teng Sanshi, who was excited, seemed to be in a good mood, and actually laughed out loud in the stunned eyes of Xiao Zhirou and Yun Chaiyue, and was arrogant, "From now on, the old man will no longer be alone." Now I not only have a daughter and granddaughter, but also a grandson who is both civil and military, wise and brave! I also have a grandson in Tengsanshi! There is a successor to the Teng clan in Xiangxi! The old man has been blessed by God to find his daughter, and now he has given me a pair of dragon and phoenix grandsons, which is really ...... Ten lifetimes of blessings. In this life, the old man has no regrets! haha......"
As for this, Teng Sanshi's expression froze, looking up at the night sky, the smile on his face gradually converged, replaced by a thick sense of sorrow, and murmured: "Madam, do you see it? Our daughter...... I went home with my grandchildren and granddaughters. You have a spirit in heaven, you can rest assured......"
Before the words fell, two lines of hot tears had slowly flowed down Teng Sanshi's cheeks.
Teng Sanshi fell in love deeply, Xiao Zhirou was heartbroken, and missed her deceased mother. For a while, the feelings were sad and the tears were silent.
"Alas!" sighed for a long time, and Teng Sanshi, who was full of tears, waved his hand and wiped it on his face, laughing at himself, "People like to be sentimental when they are old, and they can't shed tears at every turn, it's really ...... Unorthodox. Hehe, the old man misses you and Ping'er day and night in Xiangxi, and he can't live like a year, so he leaves all the affairs of the clan to Tengcang and them to take care of it, and he goes to the Valley of Despair to live for a while and enjoy the blessings of family. But unexpectedly...... Thinking that everything is predestined, if I hadn't made the temporary decision to go to the Valley of Despair, I wouldn't have known that you were going south alone. If I hadn't been curious, I wouldn't have seen the excitement I have seen today. Most importantly, you'll probably never know you're hiding a big secret from me. ”
Teng Sanshi's words not only mocked himself, but also implied ridicule of Xiao Zhirou and Yun Chasing Yue. It seems that Xiao and Yun concealed Liu Xunyi's life experience, which made Teng Sanshi, who realized it later, quite dissatisfied.
"Daddy......"
"That's it!" Teng Sanshi waved his hand indifferently, so that his eyes were straight, and he said urgently, "The old man doesn't care about anything now, only where is the clothes to be found?" It is rumored that he assassinated the court officials in Lin'an, was seriously injured after missing, and was rescued by a group of mysterious people...... Is it true or false?"
"It's true......"
"Whether it's true or not, it's imperative that we find him before anyone else. As for the rest...... It's not too late to talk about it later. Teng Sanshi's thoughts were confused, and he didn't have time to explore the reason, so he thought of what to say, ignoring Xiao Zhirou's reaction and Yun Chaiyue's reactions, and talked endlessly, "Right now, there are too many people who want to kill him, and his situation is too dangerous." If we can't find him first...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
"What the righteous father said is very true!" Yun Chaiyue nodded again and again, and at the same time cast a meaningful gaze on Xiao Zhirou, who frowned slightly, and said curtly, "Rou'er, you can not listen to me, but you must listen to your father-in-law, now is not the time to avenge Liu Xunyi......"
"I'm in Lin'an now, and avenging him is just a matter of taking the sheep by hand, and it's enough to go back and forth for half a day, and it won't delay much time at all. Xiao Zhirou was stubborn, "What's more, only by killing one can we deter other people who are plotting against others." ”
"Rou'er, you're not brave in doing this, you're reckless......"
"It turns out that you assassinated the privy deputy envoy today to avenge Xun Yi?" Teng Sanshi suddenly realized, and interjected faintly, "However, it is not trivial to go to Lin'an to assassinate the imperial court officials, and this matter cannot be impulsive......"
"Or is it the father-in-law who is far-sighted......"
"Wait!" Teng Sanshi waved his hand to interrupt Yun Chaiyue's compliment, and said thoughtfully, "Rou'er said 'kill one and make an example'...... And it makes sense. If you kill one or two big people in him, the other Jianghu Xiaoxiao will not dare to act rashly. ”
"That's exactly what I meant!" Xiao Zhirou's eyes lit up and her face was delighted.
"Father-in-law, it's too dangerous to sneak into Lin'an......"
"If Rou'er sneaks into Lin'an alone, of course the danger is great. But if we work together, make another well-thought-out plan...... It's not impossible. Teng Sanshi muttered matter-of-factly, "The three of us, plus the four protectors of Longxiang Mountain, the elite disciples of the Teng clan and the Desperate Valley, as long as we plan carefully and cooperate tacitly...... It's not difficult to sneak into Lin'an and make a big fuss. ”
At this point, Teng Sanshi's secretive gaze was fixed on Yun Chaiyue, who was embarrassed, and his fierce and fierce eyes seemed to penetrate his eye sockets and penetrate his heart.
"But ......"
"Xiang'er!" Before Yun Chaiyue could speak, Teng Sanshi suddenly let out a loud shout, "With your guts, even if you break into the palace and golden hall single-handedly, you won't frown, what's wrong today? Why did you suddenly become timid?"
"Father, I ......"
"Tell me, what are you afraid of?" Teng Sanshi stared intently at Yun Chasing Yue with wandering eyes, and his tone became unquestionable, "Today in the woods, you and Qingfeng ...... What the hell are you plotting?"
......
