"What is it?" Dong Tianleng's expression tightened.
"Young Master Qiu, he … Young Master Qiu …" The guard was out of breath. "He has captured everyone in the Mi Family's alley … he's parading them through the streets in the middle of the night … heading towards the inn."
Dong Tianleng and the other two men sucked in a breath of cold air as if they had a toothache.
The faces of the three of them twitched.
Qiu Yunsan's eldest Young Master Qiu's actions were swift indeed.
He had actually carried out his revenge in such a short period of time.
He had directly captured all of Keeper Mi's family members.
However, this incident was about to become an earth-shattering event!
That Shopkeeper Mi was no ordinary merchant. He was a true-blue Minister of the Imperial Household! He was a high-ranking figure who could easily reach the ears of the emperor.
You're just a young master of a martial world family, how could you openly capture the entire family? What kind of explanation is that?
No matter how powerful the Qiu Family was, transcending the laws of the world, it was still a little too much for you to do this in someone else's capital city. It was unjustifiable.
Besides, this fellow had an uncle who was the head of the military generals, Old Marshal Qiu. He would not be able to explain himself just because of his age!
Yun Yang's hand that was holding his wine cup could not help but tremble.
I'm still thinking about what you're going to do. I've come up with hundreds and thousands of ingenious plans, but I didn't expect you to use such a direct, unreasonable, simple, violent, and brainless method, big brother!
Yun Yang was speechless for a moment.
My original intention was only to borrow a knife. You don't have to be so dramatic …
This kind of situation, to put it in a sentence that we can all understand, is: I just wanted to borrow a knife, but you threw me an atomic bomb!
And it's already been ignited!
"We're in trouble!"
These three words came out of the four men's mouths at the same time.
"Let's go over quickly and see if there's any way to turn things around!" Dong Tianleng sprung up like his butt was on fire. "F * ck, we're really dragged down by this jinx this time. My god … please don't kill anyone … If we really do, we're all doomed …"
The four of them left in a hurry.
Yun Yang looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
Other than cursing in his heart, he didn't have any other thoughts regarding the behavior of these young masters from aristocratic families.
Just as the four of them arrived at the Tower Inn to Heaven Inn, before Qiu Yunsan could be called out, the third party had arrived.
The one leading them was Old Marshal Qiu!
It was obvious that the old man was furious.
One could not blame Old Marshal Qiu for being angry. As far as the eye could see, the courtyard of the inn where Qiu Yunsan stayed was filled with more than a hundred people. These people were the residents of the Mi Family Alley, all of Keeper Mi's family members. There were also many distant relatives who had been captured and brought here by Young Master Qiu!
Because they were arrested in the dark of the night, many of them were not even wearing clothes. They were only wrapped in a bedsheet, and their faces were filled with terror as they shivered and were at a loss of what to do.
"Since you dared to trick me, you'll have to pay the price!" Qiu Yunsan's face was filled with murderous intent, the veins on his neck bulging. "I don't care if you're the f * cking Minister of Household Affairs or Minister of Household Affairs. How dare you plot against your father! If that thing with no bottom doesn't come and give your father an explanation before dawn, your father will bury all these people alive! "
"Little bastard!" Old Marshal Qiu was enraged as he roared, "Release them immediately!"
"Not releasing!" Qiu Yunsan straightened his neck and was equally enraged. "Old Marshal Qiu, you're the marshal of the Empire of Yutang but today's matter is a personal grudge. There's no room for you to intervene!"
This child was not even calling him uncle anymore.
Old Marshal Qiu was infuriated. His eyes darted left and right, looking for a stick.
"Uncle, are you going to lecture me again? You and I are both descendants of the Qiu Family. It's understandable if you lecture your nephew because of this identity! " Qiu Yunsan looked into the old marshal's eyes that were spitting fire. "But uncle, your identity now is the marshal of the Empire of Yutang. One is for the country, the other is for the family. Have you forgotten, uncle? Other than plotting against me, the one with the surname Mi has also plotted against you … No matter how I put it, uncle, what you do is the Empire of Yutang's business. But how I seek justice is the Qiu Family's business! "
"These are two matters that cannot be confused."
"If I admit to this matter just like this, how can the Qiu Family walk the martial world with dignity in the future? Are we going to admit it when we know that we've been set up and set up? In that case, what if we are set up by others again in the future? What will we do then? Will we be dealt with the same way? "
Old Marshal Qiu could not help being stunned when he heard the words, his rage extinguished.
"The cause of this matter is indeed me being a popinjay. I'm not sensible, I have a childish temper, I'm mischievous. It's my own weakness that caused others to set up this trap." Qiu Yunsan said boldly, "I admit to all of the above. I'll ask for forgiveness when I return to the family. However, this is not a reason for the one with the surname Mi to set me up! "
"Here, my surname is Qiu. Here, no matter how disappointing I am, I'm still a part of the Qiu Family and I represent the Qiu Family. Setting a trap for me is the same as setting a trap for the Qiu Family. The Qiu Family will never swallow this humiliation for nothing! "
Old Marshal Qiu heaved a deep sigh, the rage within him had vanished without a trace. His gaze towards Qiu Yunsan was even a little comforted.
This little bastard has finally grown some brains, knowing to pull me out of the picture.
Looking at Qiu Yunsan who was being reasonable, Old Marshal Qiu had a thought in his heart – he's grown up …
Yun Yang, Chun Wanfeng, Xia Bingchuan, and Dong Tianleng were watching and listening from the side, exchanging looks of surprise.
Since when did Qiu Yunsan become so reasonable?
This … this was not like him …
"The matter has to be resolved." Old Marshal Qiu sighed. "But no lives can be lost! Otherwise … "
He did not continue, only giving his nephew a discreet look.
Qiu Yunsan said word by word, "Whether lives are lost or not depends on how the one with the surname Mi does. If the one with the surname Mi doesn't give me an explanation, I'll slaughter his entire family! There's no room for discussion on this matter! "
The old marshal sighed and waved his hand. "Move to the side, line up, move back!"
Then, he strode to the side.
Yun Yang instinctively wanted to hide himself but Qiu Jianhan was already walking straight towards him.
"Child of the Yun Family!"
Qiu Jianhan's gaze was deep, like an eagle that had caught a sparrow, pinned to Yun Yang's face.
Yun Yang chuckled and came out to greet him. "Old – Old Sir Qiu is well …"
Qiu Jianhan's probing gaze landed on Yun Yang's face, a faint smile on his lips. "You run pretty fast, child. Why do I realize that you're involved in everything? "
Yun Yang was bewildered. "Wh – what?"
Qiu Jianhan snorted angrily. "This old man is saying that you're running fast to watch the show, even faster than this old man …"
Yun Yang chuckled apologetically. "How would I dare? Who would dare to watch such a show? It's just that I happened to be present at the right time and couldn't leave. I was drinking with Young Master Dong and the others when they came all the way here for the sake of brotherhood. I'm too embarrassed to go home alone …"
Qiu Jianhan's face remained impassive. "They're loyal to brotherhood, what about you?"
Yun Yang patted his chest. "Old Sir, please understand. This nephew is only a popinjay but I've always kept the word brotherhood in mind. Where there's righteousness, there's no turning back. For brothers and friends, brotherhood is the most important. This …"
Qiu Jianhan frowned, looking at this glib-tongued fellow, feeling like he was a loach that he could not catch.
"Are you free tomorrow?" Old Marshal Qiu asked.
Yun Yang felt that something was amiss but he could not shirk the responsibility now. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Perhaps … I'm fine, but … I'm not sure …"
Qiu Jianhan was exasperated. "Whether you're free or not, wait at home tomorrow! This old man will go to your house to take a look! It's decided then! "
Yun Yang pulled a long face and said, "Old Marshal, please reconsider. This nephew is poor, I can't even afford a maid … It's inevitable that I won't be a good host then. Why don't …"
"This old man is a rough fellow, why would I need a maid to serve me? It's decided then!" Qiu Jianhan made the final decision.
Yun Yang's mouth hung open helplessly. He had never seen such an unreasonable person.
Qiu Jianhan snorted.
He had always been paying attention to Yun Yang, but Yun Yang, who was not supposed to be here, was actually here as well on such a special occasion. He could not help but connect the dots.
Inexplicably, he felt that Yun Yang was filled with mystery.
In spite of this, this mysterious person was behaving like a popinjay that could not be helped. It was extremely incongruous.
As the old marshal hesitated, he suddenly realized that this child's popinjay behavior seemed to only appear in front of him!
"Your father seems to have been deceived!" Qiu Jianhan had even abandoned this old man and started calling himself 'your father'.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this deceiving fellow was guilty of the most heinous crime.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of them.
Silhouettes darted about continuously.
It was a group of imperial guards who had rushed over.
Yun Yang pursed his lips and said, "Old Marshal, Sir Mi is here. Things are getting worse …"
Dong Tianleng and the others grew nervous once more.
Qiu Yunsan had been extremely impulsive in this matter. He had captured someone else's family indiscriminately. Even if it was understandable that he had been tricked, he had completely lost this advantage when he had captured someone else's family.
As for you, a young master of the Qiu Family who was not the direct heir, you had challenged a nation's imperial director in someone else's base camp in Tiantang City …
