Chapter 4 The Dark Tide is Surging
At the same time, dinner at Zhang's Mansion had just ended, and it was raining lightly outside.
Zhang Wenzhuo's father, Zhang Lang Zhang Wanan, stopped Xue Dingtian and said, "Fifth brother, you stay first, we haven't spoken for a long time." Xue Dingtian smiled and said: "It's just right, third brother, I also have something to look for you, why don't you leave Brother Xu behind?" Zhang Wanan said: "No need, let Brother Xu send the children back, if it rains heavily, you won't be able to go back." Xue Dingtian arranged for Fang Xu to send Xue Lisheng and Xue Yuyu back to Xue's mansion, and he moved to the bedroom with Zhang Wanan.
In the bedroom, Zhang Wanan pointed to the tea on the table and said, "This is the nightless Hou brought back from Chang'an, try it!" Xue Dingtian took a sip and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the third brother, you can get such a good fairy tea (Mengshan tea)." Zhang Wanan waved his hand and said, "Fifth brother, don't make fun of me, do you know the current situation of my family, now it's not like before, and I can't sell it for a few dollars a day. Xue Dingtian laughed and said, "What's wrong with calling Huazi, when we were in Taiyuan, weren't we just called Huazi!"
Zhang Wanan laughed and said, "It's better to be in Taiyuan, and it's more comfortable." Xue Dingtian said: "Well, Taiyuan is good, but I still like to stay in Luyang." Zhang Wanan was very puzzled: "Why?" Xue Dingtian picked up the cup and took a sip, and said, "Safe!" Zhang Wanan squinted and smiled, and said, "Safety, have you forgotten what happened more than ten years ago?" Xue Dingtian said: "Oh, third brother, it's been more than ten years, what else can happen." Zhang Wanan fiddled with the cup and said, "Hmm...... It's been a long time, you bought the land of the eldest brother's house, what are you going to do?"
"Leave the Ye family ancestral hall, and the rest ...... If Ye Suifeng wants to stay in Luyang, I will hand over the Ye family's land to him and arrange it with him. Zhang Wanan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm...... This is the best solution, by the way, is the 'ink bamboo' also in your hands. Hearing Zhang Wanan say this, Xue Dingtian was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, the third brother is very well-informed, and it is in my hands." Zhang Wanan sneered: "It turns out that it is really in your hands, you are really powerful, you have been hiding with me for more than ten years, why haven't you mentioned it to me before." Xue Dingtian said: "You also know, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better." ”
Zhang Wanan poured tea for Xue Dingtian and said, "You don't want to hide it all the time, right?" Xue Dingtian smiled: "Hahahaha, third brother, my family can't afford to live a life where everyone is chasing and killing, you better let me stop." Zhang Wanan lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you ...... Give it to me?" Xue Dingtian looked at Zhang Wanan vigilantly and said, "Third brother, no need, I plan to send it to Taiyuan tomorrow, after all, ...... There's someone over there who can protect it. Zhang Wanan sneered: "Some people won't let you send it out of Luyang." Xue Dingtian sneered: "Hmph! I really want to see who can stop me." Then he got up, left a "thank you for your hospitality", and walked straight to the door.
Zhang Wanan did not stop him, and shouted at Xue Dingtian: "Fifth brother! Sometimes, people have to learn to change the way they live, otherwise, they will ...... You will be changed by others. Xue Dingtian glanced back at Zhang Wanan and walked out of the door. "Huh! you...... It's really stubborn. Zhang Wanan poured Xue Dingtian's unfinished tea on the ground. "Big brother, the rest ...... I'll let him hand it over to you. ”
A light rain fell until the next morning, and the clouds were thick and the sky was overcast. Xue Dingtian stood in front of the lobby door, looking at the sky with a melancholy expression. Fang Xu walked to Xue Dingtian's side with his coat, and asked while helping him put on his clothes: "Fifth brother, do you have something on your mind?" Xue Dingtian said slowly: "Yesterday was still a good weather, but today it was rainy, not a good sign!" Fang Xu smiled: "The rain, the snow, the yin, and the yang are just changes in the heavens, and Xue Lang doesn't have to take it to heart." Xue Dingtian sighed and said, "Although Tiangong changes quickly, how can it be so fast. ”
In Xue Mansion's boudoir, Xue Lisheng and Xue Yuyu sat on the bed. "Sister, do you know about the thieves in the mansion last night?" Xue Yuyu leaned over to Xue Yusheng and asked in a low voice. Xue Lisheng shook his head, and Xue Liyu continued: "I heard from the servants, just when we went to Zhang's Mansion to eat, but it didn't seem to have lost anything, just stunned a few servants, and it seemed that the weeds drove away. Xue Lisheng looked sleepy, and said: "It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay" Xue Feiyu looked surprised, hugged Xue Feisheng and shook back and forth, and said, "Sister, don't you want to know why they came?" Xue Lisheng was even more dizzy, and hurriedly stopped Xue Feiyu, and said, "Ah, okay, okay, then what are you going to do?" Xue Liyu took Xue Lisheng's hand and said, "Follow me to the weeds." ”
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, the two walked quickly to Ye Suifeng's door. Xue Lisheng pointed to the door and said, "Sister, did you say that Suifeng would let us in?" Then he knocked on the door. As soon as I knocked on it, a crack opened in the door. Xue Yuyu whispered, "Sister, the door is not locked." Xue Mayage was just about to push the door in, but Xue Mayage pulled Xue Mayfeather's sleeve and whispered, "It's very rude for us to go in rashly like this." At this moment, Ye Suifeng in the room had already heard the conversation outside the door and ignored it. The two exchanged views outside the door for a few more moments, and cautiously entered the room.
At the first glance of entering the room, Xue Lisheng and Xue Liyu saw all kinds of things scattered on the bed, and Ye Suifeng was rummaging around. Xue Liyu looked at Xue Lisheng and thought: Could it be that he is leaving? Xue Lisheng was also puzzled, so he asked, "Suifeng, what are you ...... What are you doing?" Ye Suifeng ignored it and continued to rummage. Xue Yuyu noticed a white jade flute on the table and wanted to take a closer look. Ye Suifeng stretched out his hand to take the flute and said, "Do you know that you are very rude like this." ”
Xue Lisheng smiled awkwardly and explained, "We heard that there was a thief in the house last night, so we wanted to ask you what's going on, I heard that ...... It was you who drove them away. Ye Suifeng put away the flute and said, "It's nothing." Xue Liyu always cared about the flute, so he asked, "Hey, hey, hey, weed, what's your flute called?" ”
Ye Suifeng ignored it, walked to the table, and closed the window. Take out the cloth bag and put the books you found one by one into the cloth bag. "Huh?" Xue Liyu walked to the side of the cloth bag and found that the books inside were basically worn, Xue Liyu picked up one, saw that the sides of the books were fluffy, looked disgusted, and said, "Weeds, why do you still keep such books." Xue Lisheng also picked up one and saw the name of the book: "Cold Bone Scatter". "The name of the evil sect. After briefly flipping through a few pages, he said: "Sui Feng, you know, our Xue family does not allow this kind of messy exercises to appear, and it is not good to be discovered by my father." ”
Xue Liyu snatched the book from Xue Lisheng's hand and said, "Sister, don't be so rigid, just don't let your father find out." "I was about to put the book back in the bag, but the book in my hand was knocked out by an external force. Xue Liyu was shocked, but when she looked closely, she gasped, only to see an arrow shot through the book and inserted on the wall, before Xue Liyu could react, she was pushed by Ye Suifeng beside her and hit the wall, and Ye Suifeng also pulled Xue Lisheng back.
Xue Liyu and Xue Lisheng were shocked, and Ye Suifeng had already picked up the sword beside him and slowly moved to the window. But in a moment, three or four more arrows came in, and Ye Suifeng knew that he couldn't sit still, but there were still Xue Lisheng and Xue Yuyu here, so he could only leave here first. Ye moved softly to the side of the painting with the wind and took out the "ink bamboo".
Just thinking about how to take Xue Yuyu and Xue Yusheng out, there was a scream outside, and then the door was kicked open, Fang Xu walked in with a big knife, Ye Suifeng saw that it was Fang Xu who came in, so he was relieved. Fang Xu was very excited to see that the three children were safe, but Fang Xu knew that now was not the time to sigh.
"Follow me!" Fang Xu asked them to leave the house quickly, and before leaving, Ye Suifeng carried the cloth bag on the table on his back. As soon as he went out, Ye Suifeng was shocked by the scenery in front of him: blood stains everywhere, scattered weapons, and countless corpses, basically all of them were guards and servants, and a few were black-clothed, and they were intruders at a glance. "This ...... What the hell is going on. Xue Lisheng looked at the scene in front of him blankly. And Xue Yuyu covered her mouth and cried in fear.
"I can't rub it off, go to Xue Lang quickly. Fang Xu quickened his pace, Ye Suifeng looked away, and Xue Lisheng also pulled up the crying Xue Liyu and kept up with Fang Xu's pace.
Schrödingtian in his bedroom. Xue Yuhua and Xue Yunhua frowned and sat at the wooden table, Xue Dingtian also had a calm face and walked around, and there was one person sitting on the bed, this person was Xue Yingtian's wife Lin Ling.
Fang Xu brought back the three of them. As soon as he saw that the four of them were safe, Xue Dingtian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are not injured, right?" Xue Lisheng shook his head, and Lin Ling led Xue Lisheng and the crying Xue Liyu to the bedside. Xue Dingtian sighed, and the other party Xu said: "Find two horses, you and Feng'er will ride one by one, take the mayflies and mayflies, and rush to Taiyuan immediately." Fang Xu was shocked and said, "Xue Lang, what should you do like this." "Father......" Xue Fei got up. "It's our decision, you don't have to say more. Xue Yuhua said.
Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door broke the tension. Xue Dingtian opened the door and was startled by the scene in front of him, only to see Xue Yingtian standing at the door in embarrassment. "Win the sky!" Lin Zi stood up, and tears suddenly appeared in his eyes. As soon as Xue Dingtian helped him into the house, Xue Yingtian knelt in front of Xue Yunhua with a "bang", and choked up: "Third uncle, I'm ...... I didn't protect Xue Yi well, I'm sorry ......"
"Yi'er...... He ......" Xue Yunhua stood up tremblingly. Xue Yuhua hurriedly supported Xue Yunhua, "We didn't catch them, but when we came back, we were ambushed, Xue Yi was hit by a poisoned arrow in order to save me, and I was the only one left in the team...... A man came back. Hearing Xue Yingtian's words, Xue Yunhua was suddenly angry and dizzy. Xue Yuhua helped him back to his seat, Xue Dingtian helped Xue Yingtian up, and asked, "Brother, is it the same group of people?" Xue Yingtian shook his head and said, "I didn't see anyone, only arrows shot from the forest!" "Arrows?" Xue Dingtian was shocked. Xue Lisheng suddenly remembered what happened to them, and said, "Father, we also encountered the same thing, they shot arrows from outside the house. ”
Lin Ling helped Xue Yingtian to the bed, Xue Dingtian frowned, "Dingtian, let the children go...... Let them go. Xue Yunhua's eyes were red and he shouted angrily. Fang Xu was at a loss and said, "Xue Lang......" "You don't have to say it anymore." Xue Dingtian interrupted him and said, "Go, if you don't leave, it's too late." Fang Xu didn't speak anymore, Xue Dingtian touched Xue Yuyu and Xue Lisheng's heads, and said, "You have to listen to Fang Xu, and when the matter is over, I will take you back." He found Ye Suifeng again and said, "Feng'er, the two of them will leave it to you." Ye Suifeng said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will protect them." Xue Dingtian nodded, beckoned Fang Xu, and said, "Take them away now." Fang Xu opened the door and saw the scene in front of him, so he took a few steps back in fright and said, "Perhaps...... We can't walk if we want to. ”
In the messy courtyard, many black-clothed masked people appeared at some point, as many as dozens, looking at Xue Dingtian's bedroom like wild beasts......
