Chapter 657: Return to Dust (1)
The storm ended, and the dust settled.
In the east courtyard, except for Ling Xiaoxiao and Wudang people, there were only dead people and dying people left all over the ground.
"Xiaoxiao, you...... What are you going to do with Tianjin?"
Looking at Luo Tianjin, who was like a gossamer and his mind was gradually blurred, Qingfeng's eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of indescribable regret.
Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao's body trembled, and her tone was very calm, but her voice trembled uncontrollably, "Kill!"
"Are you really going to kill him?"
Although it had been expected for a long time, when Qingfeng heard this word from Ling Xiaoxiao's mouth, he was still shocked by her resoluteness and indifference.
"If you don't kill him, will you wait for him to kill me?" Ling Xiaoxiao's voice seemed to cry and laugh, "Don't bother with this matter, my daughter will solve it......"
"Madam, you can't kill the lord of the mansion!
Suddenly, Xie Xuan's roar full of pain and pleading sounded from the courtyard, attracting the attention of Ling Xiaoxiao, Qingfeng and the others.
"You're looking for ...... death"
"Wait!"
Before Zhang Songyi could cut off Xie Xuan's head with a knife in his hand, Ling Xiaoxiao waved his hand to stop him and said, "Bring him here!"
"Yes, Senior Sister. ”
With a promise, Zhang Songyi and the other three Wudang disciples joined forces to escort Xie Xuan, who was constantly struggling, to Ling Xiaoxiao.
At this time, Xie Xuan was seriously injured and weak. But even so, he still held on to his breath and desperately twisted the tiger body that was bound to death, if it weren't for the four young and strong Wudang disciples desperately trying to contain him, I am afraid that he would have broken through the restraints and crashed headfirst into Ling Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you...... Brother Xie......"
Looking at Xie Xuan, who was covered in blood and kept wailing, Luo Tianjin's heart was like a knife, tears were gushing like springs, and he opened his mouth with difficulty.
Although Luo Tianjin's voice was as thin as a mosquito, it was still like thunder in Xie Xuan's ears, and his body stiffened, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Tianjin, his eyes full of worry.
"Mansion Master, you ...... How is the injury?" Xie Xuanqiang endured the grief in his heart and asked in the softest voice possible.
However, in the face of Xie Xuan's concern, Luo Tianjin's throat was jerky, and he could only let out a hiss of "snort".
"Madam, please save the lord of the mansion quickly, he is your husband who shares the same bed!" Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao was unmoved by her pleading, Xie Xuan turned his gaze to Qingfeng again and urged, "Qingfeng Dao Chief, your old man has always been well aware of righteousness and reasonable. Even if you don't care about the respect of the martial arts alliance master, you should save his life because of your long-standing relationship with his master and apprentice......"
"Xie Xuan, you are Brother Jin's right-hand man, and you have contributed a lot to the achievements of the Xianwang Mansion today. ”
Ling Xiaoxiao ignored Xie Xuan's pleading, and said to herself, "Over the years, you have not only helped Brother Jin lay a foundation, but also helped him cultivate the plank road openly and Chen Cang secretly. The ugly things in Xiangxi back then, you know better than anyone else. ”
"If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing?" Xie Xuan said bitterly, "The lord of the mansion was young and vigorous back then, why should Madame not forgive?"
"As a human minister, knowing that his master has made a terrible mistake, instead of knowing how to persuade in time, he aids and abuses, and even after more than 20 years, he still secretly helps them matchmaking, what crime should he be guilty of?"
"I ......" Facing Ling Xiaoxiao's reprimand, Xie Xuan's heart was confused, and he said in a panic, "The reason for this can not be explained in a few words, I beg Mrs. to put the overall situation first, and heal the mansion master first......
"Smack!"
Before Xie Xuan could finish speaking, Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her hand and slapped him severely.
"Don't go around in circles in front of me!" Ling Xiaoxiao said in a deep voice, "If he cares about the relationship between husband and wife, how can he have the shameless idea of 'divorce his wife and children'?"
"This ...... Madam, when did the lord of the mansion say that he would divorce his wife and abandon his children?
"Bastard!" Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes were cold, "I heard it with my own ears, how can it be fake?" Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan, I thought you were an honest person, but I never imagined that to this day, you still want to lie and lie to me for Luo Tianjin. Do you think I won't dare kill you?"
"If Madam can kill me to vent her anger, Xie Xuan is willing to exchange his life for the life of the mansion master!"
"You should have died with Luo Tianjin!" Ling Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, as if to soothe the emotions in her heart, and said, "But I heard that when the mansion lord decided to kill me, it was you who patiently advised the mansion master again and again, so that the mansion master could leave each other some dignity in the relationship between husband and wife with me for many years, right?"
"The lord of the mansion is arbitrary, if he really wants to kill his wife, even if he says it, he will not want to stop it. It can be seen that the lord of the mansion was only angry at that time......"
"You don't have to excuse Luo Tianjin. I have been married to him for many years, and I know his character better than you. He didn't kill me, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare to kill me. He was afraid that he would kill me, and he would not be able to explain to the Wudang faction, let alone face the criticism of the world. ”
"Ma'am, this matter ......"
"Luo Tianjin's general trend is gone, you still have to think about your future!" Ling Xiaoxiao changed her words and ignored Xie Xuan's explanation, "Actually, I have always appreciated you, and I think that you Xie Xuan has a general understanding, takes the overall situation into account, and is the most successful person in the house." After tonight, the dragons of the Xianwang Mansion will be leaderless, and there will be chaos, and the culprits of all this are Zhao Yuan and Liu Xunyi......"
"Zhao Yuan is guilty, but Mrs...... Isn't that right?" Xie Xuan said sadly, "The lady keeps accusing the mansion master of being ungrateful, but you ...... Isn't it cold-blooded and ruthless? Whatever the lady wants, she can be straightforward, and there is no need to go around. ”
"Okay!" Ling Xiaoxiao looked like a smile, and said with a straight face, "The country can't be without a king for a day, and the family can't be without an owner for a day." The great foundation of the Xianwang Mansion cannot be a plate of loose sand. Although I am a lady, I am a woman after all, and it is not appropriate to show my head. Xuan'er was sick again, and life and death were unpredictable, so ......"
"So what?"
"Therefore, I want to help you ascend to the throne and take charge of the overall situation of the Xianwang Mansion!"
"What?"
Ling Xiaoxiao's words not only shocked Xie Xuan, but also made Luo Tianjin's eyelids tremble.
"Xie Xuan, as long as you are willing to give up Luo Tianjin, you will work with me with one heart and one mind. I am willing to follow the example of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, retire behind the scenes, and let you be the lord of the Xianwang Mansion, how about it?"
Xie Xuan never thought that Ling Xiaoxiao would be so brazen, she was so ashamed and angry, her whole body trembled with anger, and she said in disbelief, "I never thought that Madame's ambition ...... It's so terrible? I would rather die than rebel against the lord of the mansion than be your puppet......"
"Today's Xianwang Mansion is not only Luo Tianjin's foundation, but also your hard work. Do you want to watch it ruin?" Ling Xiaoxiao said, "And you're not a puppet. Although I am the head of the house, I will never interfere with your actions......"
"Enough!" Xie Xuan said impatiently, "Becoming a king and defeating a king, I and the lord of the mansion have fallen to this point, and we have nothing to say, I just want to die!"
"You ......"
"Master, sister, there are people alive here. ”
Before Ling Xiaoxiao could speak, Zheng Songren's voice suddenly came from a distance. followed the sound, but saw several Wudang disciples working together to carry Murong Bai, Deng Quan, and Yan Bugui, whose life and death were unknown, and walked closer.
"No return?"
Ling Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, and when she saw that the goose's breath was not broken, but she was just unconscious, she exhaled a breath of turbid air with relief, and ordered someone to carry her down to heal her injuries.
"Senior sister, they only have half a life left. If you don't save you, you will surely die. Zheng Songren pointed at Murong Bai and Deng Quan and asked, "How do we deal with it......?"
"Xie Xuan!" Ling Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes turned, and she thought about it, and said to Xie Xuan, "I will now leave the life and death of the two of them to you to deal with." ”
"What?"
"If you are stubborn, I will kill them and there will be no trouble for the future. Ling Xiaoxiao said indifferently, "If you are willing to submit, I will heal them." Whether Murong Bai and Deng Quan live or die is up to you. ”
"I ......"
"Brother Xie!"
Suddenly, Luo Tianjin's weak and hoarse voice sounded again, and the two short words seemed to have exhausted the strength of his life, and because of his emotion, the sword wound in his lower abdomen once again overflowed a large stream of blood.
"Mansion Master?"
Xie Xuan was shocked and hurriedly raised his eyes to look, but saw that Luo Tianjin's mouth was overflowing with blood, his lips and teeth were open and closed, and his throat was stumbling, but it was difficult to say a whole sentence.
Luo Tianjin stared at Xie Xuan with wide eyes, his eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, complicated and anxious.
Xie Xuan held his breath and stared back at Luo Tianjin without blinking, facing his four eyes, and did not say anything for a long time.
At this moment, Luo Tianjin's eyes were full of tears and affection, and he looked like he was in pain, which made Xie Xuan's heart tighten, and the iron-clad man could no longer control the burst of tears, and he cried unscrupulously.
Although there is no word-by-word expression, Xie Xuan has been by Luo Tianjin's side for many years, and he has long had a heart-to-heart relationship with him, and just one look from Luo Tianjin is enough to make Xie Xuan understand and understand his intentions.
"Xie Xuan, what are you thinking about?"
The breezy old voice ruthlessly interrupted Xie Xuan's contemplation, shocking his spirit, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ling Xiaoxiao with anticipation in his eyes.
"Madame...... persuade me to surrender?" At this time, Xie Xuan's tone was no longer as firm as it was just now, "I...... I want to hear the truth. ”
Ling Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly, "Tonight's incident will affect the whole body, and tomorrow will definitely cause great changes in the rivers and lakes, causing an uproar among the heroes of the world." I want to blame Zhao Yuan and Liu Xunyi for this matter, but based on my words alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. If you are here, the heroes of the world will be convinced. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I will defect and expose your ugly things in public?"
"You won't!" Ling Xiaoxiao said firmly, "Although Brother Jin is gone, he still leaves a pair of children, even if you don't think about me, you should also think about Xuan'er and Yu'er." Besides, I still say the same thing, you won't watch the foundation that Brother Jin worked so hard to build be destroyed overnight. ”
"You're right......" Xie Xuan replied weakly, "I won't destroy the foundation of the mansion master......
"Xie Xuan, it was Luo Tianjin who was unkind first, how can he blame me for being unjust?" Ling Xiaoxiao said seriously, "I hate him, but I have affection for the Xianwang Mansion." I hope you can distinguish between right and wrong, judge the situation, and don't be confused. ”
"What Madame said is extremely ......" Xie Xuan lost his soul and muttered to himself, "Xie really shouldn't go against the sky, put the cart before the horse." ”
Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes moved, and she hesitated, "Xie Xuan, what do you mean ......?"
"Xie Mou...... I am willing to assist Mrs. and keep the foundation of the Xian Wang's Mansion. In the future, only Mrs. Wei will look forward to the horse, and she will die...... Regardless of ......"
When Xie Xuan said the last sentence, the whole person collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball, crying silently, and his heart was like ashes.
However, when Luo Tianjin heard Xie Xuan's answer, the corners of his mouth overflowing with blood turned up slightly, and a smile of relief bloomed.
"Brother Xie, you have followed me for many years, and you really know my heart. Today, I asked you to surrender because I hope you can live well and take care of Rou'er's mother and son for me. Especially Xunyi, before he is fledgling, remember not to expose his relationship with me, otherwise he will definitely fall into the double pursuit of the court and the rivers and lakes, and he will definitely die. I know that death is the real liberation now, and it is not easy to live, forgive me for my last selfishness, I really can't bear to see more than 20 years of hard work go to waste, and I don't want to see the mother and son who are looking for clothes are lonely and bullied. I am comforted that you are watching over them. After a hundred years, I will set up a feast under the Nine Springs as a token of gratitude. When the time comes, you and my brother will drink and talk happily again, and they will rest when they are drunk. Brother Xie, I'll leave it to you when I'm looking for clothes......"
After thinking about it, the smile on Luo Tianjin's face gradually solidified, his eyes shook slightly, and he finally lost his last lustre.
The supreme of rivers and lakes, a martial arts giant.
Collapsed tonight, leaving behind infinite sighs.
......
