Chapter 197: Assassination in the Night (I)
On the second day, Lin Gongyu's first seventh, Dongfang Hong ordered someone to set up an offering table in the courtyard early, set up Lin Gongyu's tablet, and set up a small tablet for Di Chong below.
Xue Ling personally made a few dishes that Lin Gongyu loved to eat, put them on the offering table, burned incense, and sacrificed wine, Xue Ling's tears had already become beads with broken threads, and she fainted while crying.
Dongfang Hong carried her back to the wing, looking at her in a coma, her face was still sad and sad, and two deep tears fell straight to the bottom of the sea, thinking that in the past seven days, her tears were going to drain.
Dongfang Hong ordered the maid to take care of Xue Ling carefully, he returned to the courtyard, offered incense in front of the sacrificial table, and offered three more glasses of wine. Suddenly knelt on the ground, and said in his mouth: "Third brother, Brother Di, you and I have become brothers, and now both of you are gone, only I am left to live in the world, we swore when we worshipped, 'I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year and month', the second brother broke his promise, you know under the spring, don't blame the second brother!"
Dongfang Hong couldn't help crying bitterly, he was in a sad place, when he suddenly saw his father's attendant walk in, bowed down and said, "Second son, the owner of the village invites you to go over." ”
Dongfang Hong didn't want to see his father for several days, and he said that he couldn't get sick in the morning and dusk, but this time his father ordered someone to call, but he had to go. Dongfang Hong knew that the tears on his face had not dried, but he did not ask anyone to take water to wash his face, so he only took care of the sacrificial clothes and followed the servant.
Dongfang Hong came to his father's living room, and when he saw that none of the people in the rivers and lakes who were usually around his father were gone, he knew that his father must have something to say to him. He went into the drawing-room, saluted his father, and said, "I wonder what is the matter with the father calling the child?"
When Dongfang Bai saw that he was wearing a sacrificial robe, he knew what he had done, and said, "Sit down." ”
Dongfang Hong saluted again and sat down.
Dongfang Bai said: "Are your injuries healed?"
Dongfang Hong said: "Okay." ”
Dongfang Bai saw that his attitude was cold, it must be because he mistakenly knocked Lin Gongyu off the cliff, and said in his heart: "Do I want to kill him?" snorted and said, "Since the injury is healed, you will send Miss Yue back to Jiuhua Mountain in two days." I have a bride price prepared for your future father-in-law. You're not too young, and it's time to get married. ”
Dongfang Hong said: "The child doesn't want to get married now. ”
Dongfang Bai said: "Why? Haven't you walked around the rivers and lakes enough? Don't look at the people you know!"
Dongfang Hong said: "The people the child knows are all good brothers who are affectionate and righteous. ”
Dongfang Bai Qi slapped the table, and the tea bowl on the table fell to the ground and shattered. Dongfang Hong was startled, and when he saw that his father was angry, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The child is reckless, please forgive your father." ”
Although he admitted his mistake, he only said that he was reckless, and did not admit that he said the wrong thing, that is, he still felt that he was at a loss for what he said.
Dongfang Bai naturally knew what he meant, sneered, and remembered that he was injured, so he said, "Get up." After he returned to his seat, he continued: "When you were a child, you were more sensible than your eldest brother, but you were a little soft-hearted, and you have been neglected to discipline you in the past two years, let you wander the rivers and lakes, and come back after learning these hypocrisies, how can this be a little like my Dongfang Bai's son?"
Dongfang Hong said: "Dad, do you have to kill innocents indiscriminately to be your son?"
Dongfang Bai said sharply: "If you are not injured, I will beat you with a hundred boards first." What do you know? The rivers and lakes are the law of the jungle, and if you don't eat it, others will eat it. A single thought of kindness can become a stepping stone for others. You may not understand these truths now, so you take bullshit brotherhood very seriously. You have been walking in the rivers and lakes for the past few years, and you have been unscathed, why is that? It is not because your surname is Dongfang, and you are the son of Dongfang Bai. ”
Dongfang Hong walks the rivers and lakes, often does chivalrous and righteous things, and has indeed encountered a lot of trouble, but he can always turn danger into a disaster, the reason is of course, because his martial arts are not low, but more importantly, because others recognize his identity, he often cowardice first, he naturally knows that those people are afraid of the momentum of the Dragon Villa and the reputation of his father, so it seems that what his father said is good, but he always feels that something is wrong, but he doesn't know how to refute.
Dongfang Bai saw that his face was ugly, so he said, "What are you still sitting there for?" Go back and prepare well, and set off in a few days." ”
Dongfang Hong agreed and went back to his yard.
After Dongfang Bai waited for his son to leave, he returned to the secret room alone to practice, and practiced for two hours before returning to the room to rest.
He slept until midnight, when he suddenly heard a slight noise in the courtyard, and said in his heart: "Who is so bold to dare to come here at this time." ”
Dongfang Bai's internal skills are profound, even in his sleep, even in his sleep, even the slightest sound outside can't escape his ears, so he strictly ordered his subordinates to enter the courtyard after he rested. At this time, the voice outside must not be the people of the Royal Dragon Villa, and here in the middle of the night, there must be some plan.
Dongfang Bai closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and saw the sound gradually approaching the bedroom, and when he reached the window in front of the bedroom, he stopped, only hearing a very faint breathing sound, he saw that the breathing sound was intermittent, obviously a person with deep internal strength deliberately held his breath, so as not to be discovered, and the one who made the noise must be a person.
Suddenly, the person outside gently pushed open the window, revealing a narrow slit, and then a cigarette ball the size of a small thumb flew in, and smoke billowed in Dongfang Bai's bedroom in an instant.
Dongfang Bai was sure that there must be a mist in this smoke, so he stopped breathing and watched the changes, wanting to see what this man's plans were.
When the smoke gradually faded, the blade outside suddenly turned over through the window, and stabbed at Dongfang Bai's heart with a long sword.
When the tip of the sword was less than an inch away from Dongfang Bai's heart, Dongfang Bai suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his fingers to clamp the sword body. The man threw the sword forward several times, but the sword seemed to be stuck in the stone, and it did not move.
Dongfang Bai squinted his eyes, and saw that the person who came was not a person, it was Yue Songling's junior sister Xue Ling, and couldn't help sneering and said, "The little girl has come to avenge her lover!"
Xue Ling thought left and right in the room, since she couldn't poison Dongfang Bai with poison, she had to take the risk of assassination, if she succeeded, she would be lucky, if she didn't, she would just die in his hands, then it would be exactly what she wanted. In the middle of the night, she touched Dongfang Bai's bedroom and put in a smoke bomb first, who expected that Dongfang Bai had already found out, but she just pretended to be stunned.
Dongfang Bai's fingers were forced, and the tip of the sword snapped and snapped, and then with a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword flew towards Xue Ling's ears.
Xue Ling was shocked, seeing that Dongfang Bai didn't want to kill her, but wanted to cut off her ears, and hurriedly used the broken sword in his hand to block. Although she is not afraid of death, if her ears are cut off, it is even more uncomfortable than death.
Xue Ling's broken sword collided with the tip of the sword, only to feel a huge and incomparable force coming from the sword, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
