Chapter Ninety-Nine: Cannibalism

Zhao Baiyi took a sip of the milky white wine in the bowl, and then asked Zhao Qingyan, "Don't you want to taste some?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head: "I don't want to drink." He scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth to savor it, as if he was facing some kind of delicacies.

Zhao Baiyi saw that he only drank porridge and didn't eat vegetables, and couldn't help but say, "I think it's better for you to not drink either." According to your way of eating, if you drink some more wine, it will not be uncomfortable. ”

Zhao Qingyan swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said slowly: "The porridge has been boiled for a long time, and it tastes good." I don't have much appetite, just eat some, and when I'm hungry later, I'll ask Haoxu to help me get a copy. ”

Zhao Baiyi said: "There are still a few days left before You Huafang, I plan to walk around, are you still going?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "Forget it today, I have been in a carriage for so long, I am so angry and panicked, I don't want to move." ”

Zhao Baiyi shrugged: "Then I'll see if there's anything interesting first, and I'll take you with me tomorrow." Although he knew that Zhao Qingyan would refuse nine times out of ten, he was still a little stupid.

"The subordinates and others meet the two sons. Four men dressed in ordinary costumes strode into the inn and knelt down on one knee to salute.

Zhao Qingyan looked at it when he heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Vice General Shen?"

Shen Yifan bowed his head and said: "Yes, my subordinates are waiting here under the order of the Ninth Master to protect the two sons." ”

"Childe? Zhao Baiyi smiled thoughtfully and nodded to Shen Yifan, "Get up, don't be too formal." Xiang Xiao Er beckoned: "Add some dishes and chopsticks." ”

Zhao Qingyan sighed lightly: "Uncle Nine is really, as for this kind of mobilization?"

Zhao Baiyi said: "They don't have any affairs in Japan, and it's not a hassle for my father to draw a few people you know." ”

"I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first. Zhao Qingyan saw that Ran Haoyu was full, so he didn't wait any longer, stood up according to the table, and walked upstairs.

Zhao Baiyi shouted at him: "Call me when you wake up tomorrow, let's go out for a walk." ”

Zhao Qingyan half-turned to look at him, nodded, and then sped up and left.

Zhao Baiyi raised his face and asked, "Is he uncomfortable again?"

Jiang Wuyan concentrated on eating his own food, and replied casually: "Definitely, it's been a bumpy journey, and it's impossible not to feel uncomfortable." ”

Zhao Baiyi asked, "It shouldn't be fine, right?"

Jiang Wuyan said: "There is a vast place, it will be fine." ”

Zhao Baiyi let out an "oh", so he was not so worried, and asked casually: "Will Lord Jiang go out for a walk together for a while?" ”

Jiang Wuyan pondered for a moment: "It's okay." ”

Zhao Baiyi thought to himself: "There should be some good food nearby, and it should be a good way to bring back some for the seventh brother to let him eat." ”

Jiang Wuyan glanced at Zhao Baiyi, who was holding his cousin's body, and couldn't help but smile slightly, without interjecting, lowering his eyes and continuing to eat his own things.

"Still didn't say anything?" Mo Wai stopped at the door of the guarded room and asked the guards at the door, but he had already seen the answer in their eyes.

Yu Shu glanced at Tang Xiaoyu, who was dressed in a black robe and wrapped tightly behind Mo Wei, before he replied: "Yes, or didn't say anything, does the young master still want to ask in person?"

Mo Wai nodded: "You two and I go in and ask, and call all the people inside." ”

"All take ten steps back and don't approach. Yu Shu gave the order, everyone took ten steps back, and Mo Wai walked inside.

The huge house is richly decorated, Yun Kai has been sealed and placed under house arrest here, and no one is embarrassed for him in his usual life. Yun Kai was sitting on a wicker chair in front of the window reading a book at this time, dressed in a white shirt, with a brazier at his feet, so leisurely. Hearing someone walk in, Yun Kai didn't react, and looked at the scroll in his hand as if he hadn't heard it.

"The little nephew has been dealing with the affairs of the palace recently, and he has been very busy, so he only found time to visit the third uncle today. These subordinates are not embarrassed for the third uncle, right?" Mo said with a smile, not caring about Yun Kai's attitude of turning a blind eye, he pulled a stool and sat down opposite Yun Kai casually.

Yun Kai raised his eyes to look at him with a smile, and bowed slightly: "Everything is fine, I am really enjoying it when I am suddenly idle." It's good to have someone to serve, eat and drink, and have nothing to worry about. ”

Mo cried and said with a smile: "It's good that the third uncle is satisfied." ”

Mo Wai is playing "Uncle and Nephew" here, but Tang Xiaoyu doesn't have so many worries, and asks directly: "Is Yang Shaoen still alive? Where is the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast?

"Vermilion Bird Divine Beast?" Yun Kai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "I don't know." ”

Tang Xiaoyu frowned: "I don't know?"

Yun Kai spread his hands: "I really don't know, you should also know that it was the two of them who killed the fifth brother, and I didn't participate." If I have to say it, I only know that the second brother used the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast and several sets of poison recipes to invite Xue Lian and a few outer masters of the Tang Sect. These things should have been taken by them, and the rest of the miscellaneous people on the rivers and lakes were hired for money, and they were almost killed when the matter was over. ”

Mo Wai stretched out his hand to stop Tang Xiaoyu, who wanted to speak, and nodded to Yun Kai: "I believe these words of the third uncle." But...... You should know if the fourth uncle is dead or not, right?"

Yun Kai's eyes flickered, and he didn't answer, but asked about another thing: "That day, when the beggar gang went up the mountain, I saw the deputy leader of the beggar gang. He's dead now, isn't he?

Mo Cry didn't understand what he meant for a while, so he replied casually: "Dead, seriously injured and died in the beggar gang." It's not my hand, it's the hand of the boy in Tsing Yi. ”

Yun Kai smiled: "Then you can go and ask your son about this matter." ”

Mo was stunned for a moment, turned around and glanced at Tang Xiaoyu, and straightened his color: "Third uncle, can you say it directly, what do you mean by this?"

Yun Kai smiled: "That's what you guessed." ”

Tang Xiaoyu frowned: "How is it possible? If Yang Shaoen is Jiang Sui, then how can he bring the beggar gang to fight the puppet palace?

Yun Kai raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what benefits the death of the beggar gang will do him, but is there anything strange about him killing the people of the puppet palace? The eldest brother and the fifth brother are dead, and the junior sister is also dead, all of which are inseparable from the fourth brother." And he beat his second brother to a serious injury, causing him to be disabled and lose his martial arts even if he didn't die. Do you think that he will still stay in the puppet palace, and he still has the face to stay in the puppet palace? The puppet palace has been dispersed, and he has cut off his robe with me, and swore that he will never communicate with me again. I don't care whether he is dead or alive, and whether the puppet palace rises or dies has nothing to do with him. It's that simple. ”

His voice was very flat, and Mo Crying heard it in his ears, but he heard a little sadness.

Once upon a time, the five senior brothers galloped through the rivers and lakes, and they were full of spirit. The five of them each guarded a hall, spreading the reputation of the puppet palace far and wide on the rivers and lakes. "The first organ in the world", no one dares to fight.

The most helpless, but fratricidal.

The most helpless, but young and vigorous, unwilling to be subordinate.

The youngest junior brother ascended to the throne of the palace master. In the end, the junior disciples who came to the dark palace got the favor and care they had never received. The former "fifth brother" has become their respectful "palace master".

Even if that junior brother still treats each other politely as a righteous brother, he is humble and rarely spoken. But they will always be just "temple masters" in all populations.

If it weren't for Master's testament that made them unbearable to disobey, if it weren't for Senior Brother's lifelong defense of the Fifth Senior Brother, and if it weren't for the heart of the Senior Sister whom they always loved as a treasure, they would never have endured it for so long.

The second brother is ambitious and covets the position of palace master.

The fourth brother is arrogant and unwilling to bow down.

Yun Kai knows all this, but he doesn't want to say it. Among the five, he is the most willing to be bland, the most willing to guard a palace, watching his brothers laughing, and watching his master and sister and his nephew enjoying themselves. All he wants is a place to stay, a home with a family that can be treated as blood relatives. It's not about being famous and the head of one party. Therefore, when the four brothers were divided into a battalion, he chose to stand by and watch.

What could be more important than more than 20 years of brotherhood?

What could be more painful than fratricidal fraternity for more than twenty years?

In the end, what could be more unacceptable than the home that has been guarded for thirty years, lived for thirty years, and watched for thirty years become shattered overnight?

watched the death of the senior brother and the fifth junior brother, and watched the fourth junior brother and the second senior brother kill each other and leave with serious injuries. Then he was left alone in this puppet palace, alone with loneliness.

People go to the empty building, people's hearts have been scattered, and there is a plate of loose sand left.

If it weren't for the traces in my memory that I desperately forgot, but couldn't bear to forget, how could I throw the good time of my youth in this crumbling puppet palace?

When Mo Cry walked in front of him in the night, looking at the fighting puppet palace subordinates, the fear and sadness that pressed on his chest made him almost faint.

He hated, angry, and feared. But now, it was as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. The puppet palace that has been guarded for ten years for the fifth junior brother is also returned to his son.

Yun Kai's eyes were distracted for a moment, and he fell into nostalgia for the past, but he was soon pulled back by Mo Crying's voice.

"If the fourth uncle is still alive, then ......" Mo cried that he couldn't tell what there was in his eyes, fear, hatred, or nervousness, "What about the second uncle?" stared at Yun Kai's face deadly, for fear that he would say "I don't know" again.

Yun Kai smiled, but his eyes were a little cold: "He's still alive, and I know where he is, but I won't say." ”

Tang Xiaoyu's face sank, and he said word by word: "You said it at the beginning, Lu Chuhan is dead, he must be dead." ”

Yun Kai's expression was indifferent, and he said softly: "You should know what kind of realm the puppet of the eldest brother is. No one can take a slap from the eldest brother without hurting the foundation. I saw with my own eyes that when the second brother's sword was inserted into the eldest brother's chest, the eldest brother's palm was in the middle of the second brother's left shoulder. I also saw with my own eyes that my second brother's entire arm was directly frozen into ice, and most of the meridians were damaged. It is impossible to recover from this injury without five years. But the fourth brother turned against him in less than two years and fought hard. The second brother's blood spurted out at that time carried fragments of internal organs, and it froze on the ground. How can you survive with such an injury?"

Tang Xiaoyu said excitedly: "But he didn't die!"

Yun Kai smiled: "Yes, he's not dead, it's amazing, right?"

Mo Wai's face instantly became extremely pale, and his voice trembled a little: "Tell me, where is he." ”

Yun Kai said lightly: "I said it, I won't say it." ”

Mo cried and said angrily: "He killed my father! He caused my eldest brother to be hunted down and killed for three years, and he was frightened and bruised all over his body. My second brother is not a ghost, coughing up blood and crying blood, and he can't see the light of day. My mother and my father are dead, and I, who was a son, have not been able to see them for the last time, and I will say sorry to them! If it weren't for Lu Chuhan's traitor, why would we be like ghosts and would not dare to inquire about our own brother's news? Who caused our father's tragic death, and caused us to know that our brother was still alive, but we didn't dare to see each other? Do you dare to say that there is nothing wrong with all this?

A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Xiaoyu's eyes. In the past ten years, he had never seen Mo cry so out of shape. The young man's pale cheeks were sickly red, his eyes were red with rage, and his voice was almost roaring.

Yun Kai quietly looked at his anger, his pathos, and his powerlessness, waiting for him to finish, and then replied softly: "I am naturally at fault." I lost the eldest brother and the fifth brother. But I didn't lose the puppet palace, let alone you. Mo San, don't forget, the puppet palace is your father's greatest effort. Don't forget, give up half of the puppet palace to others, and use the power of others to kill me. This is no different from the person you keep reprimanding. Don't forget that as a Jianghu person, it is you, not me, who colluded with the imperial court to harm my puppet palace subordinates, take away the essence of my puppet palace, and damage the reputation of my puppet palace. ”

His voice wasn't high, but the words were heartfelt.
