When Chu Mu was thinking exhaustively to fight for a glimmer of vitality in the face of adversity, Xie Tingyue was not idle, mobilizing his brain at high speed.
All people's behaviors, at the bottom of their roots, have motives.
'What do I really want', this question runs through everyone's life, but I am not necessarily clear about it myself.
What do these villains really want
Get rich overnight? Just want to drink a big bowl and eat meat? No, what they want is definitely not a temporary opportunity, what they want is to be able to drink in a big bowl and eat meat forever!
What they are looking for may not be peace and stability, but they must have no worries about food and clothing!
Xie Tingyue has seen all kinds of people, and she understands in her heart that some people are naturally fond of challenges and excitement, but as human beings, there must be various fetters in this world. The older you get, the less you will indulge in behavior just because of the phrase "I like it", and you will definitely consider the people around you.
Those who are truly single, enjoying solitude, without any bondage, have already lived in seclusion in the mountains and rivers, and don't even want to chase money.
The intentions of these villains are already obvious.
Xiao Yunfeng is an upright person, he will never bow his head, but he is obviously capable, but his speaking skills are limited, long-term relationship with prestige is enough to convince others, but he can't do it for a while. Now this kind of scene, according to his temperament, he should continue to bear it hard, and there is a high chance of carrying it down, but he will definitely be injured.
Even Hang Qingxi was restrained by the bandit, obviously very determined.
Hang Qingxi is a strange woman with a calm personality and quick wit. It's not that she can't deal with the current situation, but she is a woman after all, and she is born with a gender disadvantage. Among this group of men, she is afraid that she will suffer.
Xie Tingyue thought quickly in her heart, and soon came up with an idea.
"I still think it's a big deal." He smiled slightly, his posture was extremely relaxed and calm, "It turns out it's that simple."
The bandit leader with a special hairline quit: "Simple? What do you know, kid?"
Xie Tingyue nodded sincerely: "Isn't it just to make money? Simple!"
He spoke abruptly, but his posture was very obvious. In an instant, everyone turned their eyes and focused on him.
The outstretched hand stopped, Hang Qingxi relaxed, and looked at Xie Tingyue gratefully, Xie Tingyue nodded slightly at her, signaling her to back away.
With the bandits in the middle, Xiao Yunfeng couldn't go to his wife's rescue right away, but the crisis on his wife had already been passed on, and it would be a matter of time before she could be rescued... He looked at Xie Tingyue differently.
"Heh, the boy is young and has a big tone." The bandit leader glanced at Xie Tingyue's lower body, and said in a mocking voice, "Is the hair all grown?"
Xie Tingyue was very modest: "It should be inferior to Your Excellency, and there are so many faces."
bandit chieftain:…
Is he being scolded back
Compare the hair on the face with the hair below? Is it disgusting
"Boy, you—"
Seeing that the tip of the knife in the bandit leader's hand was about to touch it, Xie Tingyue spoke quickly: "This matter is simple, there is no need to use a knife or a gun to bleed desperately. It is such an exaggeration. If you follow Xiao Yunfeng, you will make money!"
"Him?" The bandit leader laughed angrily when he heard this, his waist and arms trembled, and he stopped pointing at the tip of the knife. "What can he do? Dominate the king in this small mountain village, and cowardly like a dog when he goes out."
Xie Tingyue: "I think your Excellency is a hero, majestic and mighty, and he must have a lot of experience in the industry. I'm afraid it will not be easy to turn from underworld to white?"
The bandit leader immediately sneered: "It's not easy! Don't talk about blending into the outside world, just dealing with enemies is difficult. There are so many mouths waiting to eat at home, and there are no other skills. Why do you change careers and drink northwest wind? Stupid!"
While talking, he also gave Xiao Yunfeng a mocking look: "That's why I don't suffer this crime like some people!"
Xie Tingyue: "But Xiao Yunfeng succeeded."
The bandits took a bite.
Xie Tingyue continued: "Not only did he do it, but he also did it very well. In a short period of time, the clan has a small surplus, not every family is rich, but food and clothing are no longer a problem. Not only that, the clan's cohesion is also very good. I listen to the words of the head of the family very much, it’s like—removing putrefaction and regenerating muscle, everyone accepts a new life, creates wealth, and is more full of vitality, but the inheritance in the bones has not been left behind.”
"In your eyes, maybe it's just a little wealth and a lack of fighting spirit. In my opinion, I admire it very much."
The bandit leader frowned tightly.
He had never underestimated Xiao Yunfeng's ability, otherwise why didn't he find someone else and just challenge him? Is it because the ancestors are dead brothers? He is not stupid. Xiao Yunfeng is indeed powerful, but the axis is very strong, and the road he believes will lead to darkness. If he is willing to engage in salt, he will definitely be rich in an instant. How can it be like their brothers who have nothing to eat
"He can do it, why can't you?" Xie Tingyue said in a long voice, "Is it true that he inherited the behest of his ancestors, or he didn't dare at all, didn't want to, and knew that he couldn't do it?"
The bandit leader took the lead, and the five of them looked at Xie Tingyue viciously together.
You don't slap people in the face when you hit them, and you don't expose your faults when you say people, you know that you are going to be beaten like this!
Xie Tingyue continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't have self-confidence, I see Patriarch Xiao is very generous, as long as you don't fight against him, he will definitely give you a hand."
Having said that, he also glanced at Xiao Yunfeng.
Xiao Yunfeng understood, and nodded: "En."
The five bandit leaders did not move.
Xie Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
People in the world are very strong, even the villains are very strong. If they don't move, it is a good sign.
"Look, Patriarch Xiao has been able to make such achievements in just a few years, and there will be no limits in the future," Xie Tingyue boasted skillfully, "How many of you don't know? Recently there is a kind of cloth in Beijing called Lan Ying cloth. The momentum is huge, one horse can fetch a price of one thousand taels of silver, it can be said that there is no market for the price, and this Lanyingbu distribution business, Xiao Patriarch has snatched it."
The Lanying cloth was his, of course, there was no difficulty in what he said.
One of the bandits swallowed his saliva directly: "A piece of cloth sells for a thousand taels of silver, is it true or not? It is more expensive than salt!"
It was the boss who answered him with a big slap: "You know what a fart! The people in the mountains just don't know much. Nabu heard that the capital is crazy, and the princess is using it!"
Xie Tingyue was a little surprised: "Your Excellency knows?"
The bandit leader was a little proud: "Can I be like these little fellows?"
Xie Tingyue: "Then you should know how profitable this business is."
"If there is, the profit will be huge, but the question is—" The bandit leader pointed his fat finger at Xiao Yunfeng, "Can he win it?"
He doesn't believe it!
"But unfortunately, Patriarch Xiao really took it," Xie Tingyue smiled, and stretched out his hand to leak something, "I was in a hurry just now, Patriarch Xiao gave this thing to Madam before going out, Madam saw that the situation was wrong, and secretly gave it to me , it is the seal entrusted by Lan Yingbu, you can check it."
It was a small seal, the size of a fingertip, square and upright. When one looked up, it was the special mark of Xie's shop.
And this mark is in the corner of every piece of blue surplus cloth.
The bandit leader didn't pay special attention to this matter, but at that time there was an auction climax, everyone praised it, and the storyteller compiled it into a joke, and the main points were detailed. He wandered outside and listened to it, and then he knew.
He couldn't tell the authenticity of the small seal in the boy's hand, but the pattern was exactly the same as what the storyteller said, there was no mistake!
If it was true, he doubted whether Xiao Yunfeng was that powerful, but if it was false, it seemed even more impossible. With Xiao Yunfeng's temperament, how could he lie to him and arrange so many things in a hurry
After much deliberation, the bandit leader has already favored this fact.
Xie Tingyue has been watching his face, and then said immediately: "But this business, Patriarch Xiao is hesitating whether to take it or not. Everyone knows that Lan Yingbu is making too much money now. Although it is a serious business, the people who are staring at it are too Many, from the capital city to Qingxian County, and then to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the journey is long and full of dangers, and the bodyguard bureaus are afraid to pick up the job, and Patriarch Xiao is now worried about a courageous and capable helper to secure the goods."
The directionality of these words is too obvious, lack of people? Or a brave guard
We are familiar with this job!
The bandit squad almost cried out.
Xie Tingyue's side attracted everyone's attention. Xiao Yunfeng listened with his ears quietly approaching his wife. By this time, he had already raised his hand and rescued Hang Qingxi.
This time was unusual and different from every previous time. Hang Qingxi didn't insist on standing with her husband, but turned around and left immediately.
The speed was so fast that no one had time to react.
The bandit leader immediately stared: "You—"
"Calm down, calm down," Xie Tingyue immediately persuaded with a smile, "You are all good men, and you never make things difficult for women. Just now, you were in a hurry, but in fact it was not too much. Both Patriarch Xiao and I know that the words you just said were ruthless. It’s not really for the sake of killing people, I just want to have a good talk, it happens that everyone is calm now, why don’t we sit down and have a good talk?”
The bandit leader frowned.
This kid doesn't know which junior he is, he is very good at talking, and he keeps poking at people's hearts, and his guess is not wrong, it is really hard to refuse.
"good… "
Seeing that the other party's emotions stabilized and the plan was about to succeed, Xie Tingri woke up.
He was so cowardly that he didn't need to be frightened just now, and he fainted from fright, which saved others' energy. Bandits are naturally afraid of begging for mercy.
"Don't catch me, spare me, I have no money, I really have no money, and my family is not a wealthy family..."
Xie Tingri shrunk his body and hid at the base of the wall, not daring to look at people at all, as if someone was approaching him and would grab his hair the next moment.
"Catch him! Yes, catch him!" He pointed his hand at Xie Tingyue from a distance, "He is a husband and wife hired by the Chu family in the capital, does the Chu family know that? The Chu family who had a concubine is especially rich and powerful." The young master of the Chu family is dying soon, and he managed to hire a man and wife. The whole family treats him like a treasure, and the ransom alone will let you live a good life for the rest of your life!"
Xie Tingri fainted for a while, completely unaware of what happened just now, and what the situation is now, and he still thought that the other party was a bandit who kidnapped and demanded a ransom.
Xie Tingyue's heart skipped a beat, it's terrible!
This trash who succeeds more than fails! All those plays just now were for nothing!
Sure enough, the bandit leader paused, and slowly narrowed his eyes.
"The Chu family? A man and a wife?"
After reacting, he immediately became angry: "That Chu family!"
Knowing about his ancestor's private salt business, he was still running around trying to force Xiao Yunfeng to submit. He may not be clear about other things, but when it comes to this, how could he not understand
He knew the deed, and the Chu family, he knew it too!
Now that members of the Chu family are here with Xiao Yunfeng, the two of them seem to be very speculative and have a lot of contacts, the bandit chief thinks they are just new acquaintances? only friends
No, he only confirmed one thing right now, the two of them were sneaky, but he didn't say anything to him.
Why
The only thing he has to do with it is salt!
Obviously, it's not that Xiao Yunfeng hasn't moved his selfish thoughts, on the contrary, he has been greatly moved! Not only was he thinking about it, but he also quietly brought people from the Chu family to discuss it, and wanted to continue to engage in private salt!
It's just that they are not brothers anymore, Xiao Yunfeng wants to eat this for himself, and doesn't want him to share the soup!
"Want to let us go alone?" The bandit chief's eyes gleamed with evil, this time he didn't hesitate at all, he was completely murderous, "Xiao Yunfeng! You want to take it all by yourself, get rid of us, I tell you, there is no way!"
With a wave of his hand, his brothers rushed forward, and the fierce battle continued.
Xiao Yunfeng still drew his sword out of its sheath, extremely brave, even though the wife he cared about the most was not at the scene, he still showed great pride and never retreated half a step, just to protect Xie Tingyue!
However, time is not with him.
It's just the same, there are many people on the other side.
One of the four gangsters restrained him. Everyone was familiar with each other's skills. It was not easy to find a breakthrough point. The situation was stalemate for a while, and he couldn't make it through!
And now the explanation is meaningless, the other party has already decided that the more explanations, the more determined the other party will be!
"You help him like this? Have you really decided?" The bandit leader had time to deal with Xie Tingyue alone.
Only this time, he will no longer treat Xie Tingyue as a random addition, but as an existence that must be persuaded.
If he is dealt with, the private salt business will be settled!
The bandit leader was so excited that there was a huge wave in his heart.
Xie Tingyue frowned, looking at the other person's body that was getting closer and closer: "You misunderstood, what I'm talking about with Patriarch Xie is only about the cloth business."
The bandit leader grinned happily, and said with a sincere smile: "I understand."
Private salt business, can that be put on the table in a serious manner? It must be a pretense, cloth business, what a good excuse! Think he will believe it
"What did that bastard promise you?" The bandit chief's eyes shone with ambition, "Now I forget everything, what he can give, I can give, and what he can't give, I can give too!"
The distance was too close, Xie Tingyue could almost smell the thick sweat on the opponent's body.
The heavy rain did not wash off for so long, which shows how deep-rooted it is.
Xie Tingyue was so smoked that she felt like vomiting, and retreated even more urgently.
It's a pity that there is a wall behind, and there is no way to retreat immediately.
His posture gave the bandit chief a hint.
"Are you... the male wife of the Chu family?" The bandit leader suddenly laughed, "I heard that the man is disabled, sick and dying, and you are still willing to marry him..."
I think it's a good one.
The bandit leader didn't bother to think about the truth, what the difficulties were, there was only one thing, how could a man bear it if he was willing to marry another man as his wife? Unless, he never thought of marrying a wife himself, he is so masculine.
I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? The bandit leader wanders outside every day, what has he not seen? He understands this masculinity, not only understands it, but also tastes it. I didn't notice it before, but now I look at it carefully under the light. The young man and wife in front of me are really good, with white skin, red mouth, and handsome eyebrows and eyes. Looking down, the waist is the waist, and the legs are the legs...
The bandit leader clicked his tongue: "It's a pity for such a good talent."
"I know what you really want. Your sick and dying man will definitely not be able to satisfy you. The owner of the house who looks good outside is actually a coward. He is being controlled by the woman in the house, let alone a man. , He didn’t even dare to visit prostitutes, and his trouser belt was tightly tied.” The bandit leader approached, his words and deeds were quite ambiguous, “I’m different, I can give you whatever you want, you want How much, I am absolutely unambiguous, how about we just be mandarin ducks in the wild, earn money, and have fun outside... "
At the end of the conversation, even the hips pushed forward.
There was still some distance between the two sides, Xie Tingyue was not pushed by him, but it was disgusting.
The other party even tried to reach out and touch his face...
Xie Tingyue angrily knocked it away.
The bandit leader was not angry when he was beaten, and laughed even louder: "Hahaha—cute! I know you are not familiar with me, and you must be a little disgusted at the moment, but the feelings are all out of place. You can trust my skills first, and then Slowly believe in my character... "
"I promise, I want you to have a taste of that ecstasy, as if you are in a fairyland."
The bandit leader's character is rather rough and straightforward, thinking about it, he made such a decision immediately!
The big hand is about to tear Xie Tingyue's clothes!
Xie Tingyue is simply inexplicable and unbelievable, does this person have a brain, did he do it like this!
The bandit leader was quite confident, while still tugging at his belt, his eyes were burning: "Don't be afraid, sweetheart, let's just come once, once you come, you will understand everything!"
He knows martial arts, Xie Tingyue doesn't, and the other party doesn't listen to reason, and his actions are still very firm.
Come and go, Xie Tingyue is restrained, which is the standard ending.
"Let me go!" No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't let go.
"You won't say that anytime soon!"
The bandit leader stretched out his big hand, stroked Xie Tingyue's neck with one hand, raised his chin, and squeezed his waist tightly with the other hand.
The other party knew how to fight, this pinch used ingenuity, and only hit the acupuncture points, Xie Tingyue's waist and eyes were sore from being pinched by him, her hands and feet suddenly lost strength, and she couldn't even struggle.
"Be good, yes, be good, like this..."
With the beauty in front of her, desire exploded in an instant, the eyes of the bandit leader were on fire, and a stinky mouth was about to cover—
"Zhuzi dare—"
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the door, and at the same time, several willow blades made a light piercing sound and shot over in unison.
The bandit leader was concentrating on doing that at the moment, and he had no time to be distracted. When the hidden weapon invaded in front of him, it would be too late to react.
Xie Tingyue saw a thin willow ball hit the side of his neck, and blood gushed out immediately.
The bandit leader's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand to press the wound in vain, the blood couldn't stop.
With a "plop", he fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then lost his breath.
Only then did Xie Tingyue see behind him, densely packed with hidden weapons.
These hidden weapons, including the voice just now, are very familiar to him—
"Chu Mu!"
Chu Mu couldn't control himself at all.
The dangerous situation he experienced just now, the exciting scene in front of him just now, and most importantly, he couldn't stand the person who was on top of his heart being treated so lightly!
The slender fingers turned the wheelchair vigorously, and rushed to Xie Tingyue at an unprecedented speed. He took Xie Tingyue's hand, and with one push, Xie Tingyue had already rotated to his lap and sat down.
Chu Mu hugged Xie Tingyue tightly, pursed his lips tightly, and did not speak.
Xie Tingyue patted him on the back: "What's wrong? Are you scared? I'm fine, I'm not afraid."
Seeing that Chu Mu didn't let go at all, Xie Tingyue put her right hand behind her back with great difficulty, and stretched out, "Look, I'm prepared, and I won't let others bully me."
In his hand was a handful of powder.
When going out, one has to be careful in everything, especially during this journey, there is a long way to go, and there may be unknown dangers. Xie Tingyue naturally made some self-defense preparations, such as this medicine powder.
But everything happened too fast just now, he only had time to secretly take out the medicine powder, but didn't have time to release it, the other party pinched his acupuncture points, he lost his strength, so he had to slow down.
Fortunately, the other party's skill is limited, it just made him soft for a moment, and didn't kill him. He doesn't care what the other party thinks, anyway, he won't really be taken advantage of by the other party, and this fan will be thrown out immediately .
Chu Mu came just in time.
Chu Mu still didn't speak, but put his chin on his shoulder and hugged him tightly.
Xie Tingyue suddenly felt that Chu Mu's hands were shaking.
The moment just now was indeed a bit unusual. As a husband, Chu Mu would be nervous, Xie Tingyue understood very well, but the trembling of his hands seemed a bit unusual.
"What's wrong?"
He probably knew to ask Chu Mu, but he couldn't find out why, so he simply looked at Qin Ping behind Chu Mu.
"It's just...there is also danger over there, it's hard to say."
Qin Ping quickly assessed the situation in the lower court, and ran to help Xiao Yunfeng without being idle.
"I'm fine... nothing will happen in the future... don't be in a hurry..."
Xie Tingyue didn't ask immediately, feeling that Chu Mu was in a bad mood, so she simply let him hug her, coaxing her like a child.
He believed that Chu Mu's gaffe was only temporary, and it wouldn't last long.
Sure enough, not long after, Chu Mu heaved a long sigh: "Over there, the rain of arrows in the inn reappeared."
The words were cryptic, but Xie Tingyue's brains immediately understood that Chu Mu had also encountered a crisis, and it was still a big crisis!
Chu Mu still hugged him tightly, but he was willing to speak, and whispered, "It's King Li."
He recounted his previous experiences.
Cover up the fact that he knew the name of the other party's organization, and only talk about the analysis and facts, how King Li appeared, what he said, what he thought, what he observed, and what he finally decided...
Tell Xie Tingyue everything.
He took a risky move. But there is no way, the man alone is weak, and the situation is not good, he can only take this risky move and put himself in a very correct posture: I don't want to get involved in your affairs, and you don't want to get me involved. Let the other party go, you can still continue to play the game of cat and mouse once King Li is gone, and I will not have the slightest influence on it.
Daowaki's posture was decisive and firm. No one at the scene thought that Chu Mu knew the true identity of King Li. If he didn't even know this, he naturally didn't know other deeper grievances and secrets.
The Root Miao organization doesn't want to be troublesome, forcing the other party to put all their eggs in one basket to break the net, it will inevitably involve a lot of other troubles, and it is not convenient for Li Wang to kill now, and what he wants to do will be an opportunity in the future.
A room of people stood silently for a long time, and finally, the people in the organization dispersed, and the arrow rain did not come again.
Chu Mu felt relieved, he had no other thoughts but wanted to see Xie Tingyue, but Qin Ping couldn't stop them, so the two of them just came here.
Who would have thought that he would bump into swords and swords as soon as he came, and also saw such a terrible thing!
almost...
The lady was bullied.
just a little bit...
That person, damn it!
