We arrived at Yang's house, a huge old house at the foot of the green rock. Behind the house was a bamboo forest with knotty bamboo roots like whips hanging down from the walls.
In the courtyard, the exquisite pavilions, the quiet and beautiful pool and water corridor, as well as the large rockery, the ancient stage, Yulinglong and other masterpieces of ancient gardens all make people linger.
Especially the carved dragon built around the roof of the wall, with its scales and claws dancing and its whiskers waving, as if it is about to fly into the sky, which makes people secretly frightened.
Behind the bamboo forest was a stretch of endless mountainous terrain. Liu Xun knew that this should be the arena that was even bigger than the Zhang family’s arena.
When they entered the Yang family, the head of the Yang family was not there, so Liu Xun and the other two came to the living room. In the living room, Yang Zitong was talking to Yang Hong about something. When he saw Liu Xun come in, he greeted Liu Xun.
"For her, you can give up everything, right?" Yang Zitong looked at Yang Hong and asked softly.
After these words fell, Liu Xun frowned. It was obvious that the two were discussing an incident, and it seemed to be something related to feelings.
Yang Hong nodded without saying anything. Yang Zitong took a deep breath and said seriously, "Well, starting today, you will no longer have any relationship with the Yang family! Go now. I will talk to the head of the family."
"Thank you, brother." Yang Hong bowed to Yang Zitong, and then walked towards the door. When he met Liu Xun, he nodded as a greeting.
After Yang Hong left, Liu Xun asked in confusion: "Brother Zitong, what's going on? Isn't Yang Hong your biological brother? Why did you kick him out of the Yang family?"
"He fell in love with a woman outside the aristocratic family." Yang Zitong did not explain much, just said this.
Liu Xun knew that aristocratic families could not marry anyone outside of them, and Yang Zitong also asked Yang Hong if he could give up everything for that woman!
Yang Hong's answer was affirmative, so Yang Zitong had no choice but to do this! Doing so was not a rejection of Yang Hong, but a kind of love, a brother's love for his younger brother! Because it is not easy for people from aristocratic families to leave their families.
It is conceivable that Yang Zitong will face what kind of rumors and gossips when he removes Yang Hong from the family! The internal struggle of the family will not be simple. Among the direct descendants of the Yang family, it is unknown how many people are spying on Yang Zitong's position.
"Is it worth it for you to do this?" Liu Xun did not ask too many questions, but just asked this casually.
Yang Zitong smiled calmly, took a deep breath, and said, "I once fell in love with a woman outside the aristocratic family, but I knew that with my status and the importance the patriarch attached to me, it was impossible for the two of us to be together! So I made a choice that made the patriarch very happy."
At this point, Yang Zitong suddenly laughed out loud. Liu Xun could see that this was a helpless laugh, a kind of helplessness as a person from an aristocratic family! People from aristocratic families stand at the highest point that the secular world can never see, but they also lose something accordingly.
"I have already given up these things, but I don't want Yang Hong to do the same as me!" Yang Zitong said, then he smiled and looked at Liu Xun, saying: "I said I would buy you a drink, what do you want to drink?"
"Whatever." Liu Xun sighed. Yang Zitong might not be a good future head of the Yang family, but he is a good brother. Liu Xun also has a younger brother, so he can understand Yang Zitong's difficulties. Yang Hong also understands it.
"Compared to these emotional matters, Liu Xun, I hope that the relationship between you and me can be like the relationship between the head of the Yang family and the head of the Liu family for generations, where we can share life and death together."
Yang Zitong's sudden words made Liu Xun raise his eyebrows, and then asked: "Can you tell me the story of the Liu family and the Yang family? For example, what happened to the Liu family in the war sixty years ago? That led to the dispersion of the direct lineage."
"The great war sixty years ago has been listed as a forbidden topic by the nine great families, but you are different, Liu Xun. The head of the Liu family may not have mentioned it to you yet, but he will tell you sooner or later! I can't tell you too much, I can only tell you one thing, if it weren't for the Liu family, maybe the Yang family and other families would have been expelled from China sixty years ago."
Yang Zitong stopped talking after he finished speaking. When Liu Xun heard this, he also fell silent. Although he didn't know what exactly happened sixty years ago, from Yang Zitong's words, the Liu family made an indispensable contribution in that war.
After three rounds of drinks, Liu Xun chatted with Yang Zitong again and stated his purpose.
"Have a safe trip." Yang Zitong sent Liu Xun and the other two to the gate. When the Mercedes-Benz disappeared from his sight, he returned to the Yang family courtyard. However, the helplessness in his eyes became more obvious and finally turned into a sigh.
"Are we still going to Ye's house? If we go, we will miss the plane." In the car, Di Yi looked at the time and said softly.
"It's okay. I didn't think about flying back anyway." Liu Xun smiled indifferently. After he finished speaking, Wang Yikai and Di Yi's faces changed slightly. They asked softly, "You don't want to drive this car back to S City, do you?"
"It's more than 900,000 yuan. Can I just throw it here?" To be honest, Liu Xun is a very stingy person, especially when it comes to spending money on himself.
"I..." Wang Yikai sighed. He knew that he would most likely spend the night in the car. Di Yi turned around and looked at Wang Yikai, saying, "Kaizi, let's change seats?"
"No." Are you kidding? There was only Wang Yikai in the back seat. If he felt tired, he could lie down for a while. How could he possibly switch with Di Yi
"Oh, then I'll lay the seat flat. If you stretch your feet over, be careful or I'll chop them off." Di Yi's words made Wang Yikai speechless on the spot.
Liu Xun sighed, looked at the two people fighting for the "resting place", and said softly: "You don't have to fight with him, because I can give you the main driver's seat, and I will go to the hotel tonight. If the two of you are willing to stay here by yourselves, I can save two hotel fees."
"..." About an hour and a half later, Liu Xun and the other two arrived at the Ye family. Ye Huiling was not at home, so the three of them stated their purpose and did not stay long. They got in the car and prepared to rush to S City. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
It has to be said that the traffic jam in the capital is really amazing. At about nine o'clock, Liu Xun and his two companions left the capital. Time passed by minute by minute, from ten o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning. I don't know how many hotels they passed by, but Liu Xun never stopped.
"Liu Xun, it's almost 1:30 in the morning. Didn't you say you wanted to stay in a hotel?" Di Yi looked at the scenery outside the car window. It was pitch black. He didn't know which city he was in, but he knew that he was tired of the scenery outside the car.
"Well, I thought about it. It's only 1,100 kilometers from the capital to S City. If we drive faster, we can get there in more than nine hours! We can go home and have a good sleep after we arrive in S City." Liu Xun said softly while driving attentively.
"... "Di Yi was helpless. Wang Yikai smiled and whispered to himself: "I knew... Brother Liu Xun would play this trick."
When Liu Xun heard this, he was embarrassed for a moment. Time passed quickly. About half an hour later, Liu Xun saw a large number of vehicles parked in front of him, blocking the highway.
"What's going on?" Liu Xun stopped the car and frowned as he looked at the road ahead.
"Now you have a preliminary understanding of Qi Men Dun Jia, so you can figure it out yourself." Di Yi said casually with his eyes closed.
"You can't just speculate! Because this involves the secrets of heaven, you will be punished by heaven." Liu Xun is not a child, it is impossible for him to speculate on everything. There are so many vehicles ahead, he can just go down and ask, there is no need for any strange divination.
Liu Xun opened the car door and walked towards a jeep. When he got in front of it, he asked the owner, "Brother, what happened in front? Did there happen a car accident?"
"Who knows? I'm waiting too." The owner of the jeep looked impatient, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
Liu Xun thanked him and walked forward, cursing in his heart: "This idiot, doesn't he know how to ask ahead? Just wait here in vain, let's see how long you can wait!"
After passing one car after another and walking about 500 meters, Liu Xun found that the road ahead had collapsed! This section of road was a high-altitude section, with a height of more than 20 meters. Several cars had already fallen down, including a long-distance bus, and the passengers in the car were unknown whether they were alive or dead.
"This is really a shoddy project." Liu Xun said in dissatisfaction in his heart, and prepared to return the same way. After all, there were several ambulances parked below.
But just as Liu Xun was about to return, a woman who got off a long-distance bus caught his attention.
The woman was dressed in white, fresh and refined, with a simple ponytail and slightly frowned eyebrows, looking at the collapsed road section ahead.
To describe this woman as stunningly beautiful was not enough to describe her perfection! She seemed to not belong to this world, like a fairy that had descended from the nine heavens to the mortal world. One glance at her would make you intoxicated.
Her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as picturesque, and her skin was whiter than snow, just like the white dress she was wearing. Liu Xun didn't know this woman's name, but he knew that his heart was moved for the first time. He never believed in love at first sight before, but now he couldn't help but believe it!
The woman had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, a collar like a cicada, and teeth like a gourd! She was beautiful enough to shame the moon and the flowers, and could make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground. But the reason why Liu Xun fell in love with her at first sight was not these.
It’s the pure and ethereal temperament she exudes. This woman is like a snow lotus on the snow-capped mountains, noble yet pure and ethereal!
All the beautiful words in the world cannot describe the temperament of this woman. The woman seemed to feel Liu Xun's gaze and met his eyes. Then she smiled slightly and looked away. (To be continued)
