Wang Li was swallowed by the sea in an instant, but the ship was still moving forward. Wang Haiyi leaned on the railing and screamed!
"Li!"
He looked back at Gou Liang and Zhong Quan angrily, but he quickly recognized the situation and cried to beg them to save his sister.
Wang Haiyi's crying alarmed Li Xi. He hurried over, only to see Wang Haiyi kneeling on the ground and begging Gou Liang. His eyes were full of fear and hatred.
Seeing him, Wang Haiyi rushed to him and said, "Yu Xiu, ask someone to save my sister. Don't you have a servant with powerful martial arts? Ask them to save my sister! "
Li Xi saw the tongue on the ground, and his face changed slightly. Then he looked at Gou Liang and was shocked by the scar on his face. Immediately, he guessed that the wounds on Gou Liang's face and legs must be caused by Li Yan, and he firmly believed that Li Yan would not help the Crown Prince. Compared with the Wang Family in the Yongan Prefecture, Li Xi naturally preferred Gou Liang and the forces behind him. Naturally, he did not want to interfere and make Gou Liang unhappy.
Therefore, he anxiously called out a couple of times, trying to pull Wang Haiyi up. He was just an innocent little mute.
But Wang Haiyi held his leg and refused to let go as if he was the last life-saving straw.
Gou Liang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "Haven't you heard of the story of Carving the Boat to find the sword? If that's the case, I'm curious as to how you managed to pass the exam. Or … you just pretend to be sad to report to your parents? "
Wang Haiyi continued to cry and did not hear him speak.
Gou Liang nodded and said with self-affirmation, "It seems that you really hate your sister very much."
Wang Haiyi continued to cry, but Li Xi was shocked.
He believed Gou Liang's words without a doubt, but he had also seen Wang Haiyi's care and protection for his sister along the way. Even when the official ship was in trouble, Wang Haiyi had protected his sister by his side. It was not an exaggeration to say that their sibling relationship was deep. If Wang Haiyi was just pretending, then his shrewdness and temperament … were really shocking.
Li Xi took a step back and bowed. "May I ask why you say that?"
Wang Haiyi abruptly raised his head to look at him with a shocked expression.
"Since you've stopped, stop crying. It's unpleasant to hear."
Gou Liang stroked the Heaven Seeking Jade Flute and casually said: "Let me guess. Wang Haiyi, you clearly know that Zhong Quan doesn't like your sister, and you also know that today's marriage proposal will anger me, but you still did it. Presumably, you want to borrow my hand to teach her a lesson. Or rather, the current result is what you are most satisfied with. "
"There's hatred in your eyes, but it's not directed at me. There's fear in your eyes, but it's also not directed at me … It seems like you have a deep grudge against the Wang Clan of Eternal Peace. Little Marquis, I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage if you find such an ally. The Wang family won't stand by your side just because of his support. "
Li Xi stared at Wang Haiyi with an unfathomable expression. "You already knew my identity?"
He and Wang Haiyi had met in Shangjing. He fancied the other's talent and wanted to recruit him for his own use, but now he found that Wang Haiyi was not as simple as he had imagined.
Wang Haiyi saw that he couldn't cry anymore and simply stopped crying. He crawled two steps and leaned tiredly against the railing. He rubbed his face that had stiffened from crying and said vaguely: "Sir has sharp eyes. This Wang is ashamed."
"I don't dare. This Tanhua's acting skills have reached perfection. This one is ashamed of his inferiority."
Gou Liang looked at him with interest.
Other than the big blind spot, the only person he paid attention to on this ship was Li Xi. Thus, it wasn't until he saw that Wang Haiyi clearly had the ability to grab Wang Li, who had been kicked into the sea, but only cared about screaming that he became suspicious.
Wang Haiyi said modestly, then cupped his hands and apologized to Li Xi: "Little Marquis, I had no choice but to conceal the truth. I hope you can forgive me. You see, you also have some reservations about this one, so we're even, right? "
"What's going on here?"
Li Xi was still young, so he couldn't keep his cool and asked.
Since Wang Haiyi had been seen through, he didn't hide it anymore.
The Wang Family was currently dominated by the eldest branch, but many years ago, the head of the Wang Family had a younger brother. The second branch was also very favored, but ten years ago, they all died in a big fire. Wang Haiyi's birth mother was originally an unfavored concubine of the second branch, but because she lived far away, she survived the natural disaster. She had an affair with the eldest branch and later found her old lover, who was the current head of the Wang Family. She relied on her pregnancy to be raised by him as a mistress and lived peacefully for many years.
"When I was eight years old, I was recognized by the Wang Family because I had some aptitude for studying. I was fortunate enough to take first place in the imperial examinations, so I was adopted under my di mother's name."
Speaking of the past, Wang Haiyi's face was filled with emotion.
"Originally, the Wang Family promised me that as long as I passed the imperial examinations, they would take my mother back to the manor and give her the status of a concubine. After she died, she could be buried in the ancestral grave and be raised. But I didn't expect that just as the news of me coming third in the imperial examinations spread, my mother died. I originally thought it was because my di mother couldn't tolerate it, but after investigating, I found that it had nothing to do with my di mother and father, but it was Wang Li! "
"It was she who wanted to intimidate my mother. Without saying a word, she used a whip to whip her. My mother dodged and fell off the high platform, dying on the spot …" Speaking of the sad part, Wang Haiyi choked with sobs and then said hatefully, "The Wang Family took great pains to cover up this matter, but justice grinds slowly but surely. I still found out."
"The hatred of killing my mother is absolutely irreconcilable. Even if she didn't do it on purpose, I won't let her have it easy!"
In this way, it was reasonable for Wang Haiyi to want Wang Li dead.
Li Xi glanced at Gou Liang, who was still indifferent and even had a faint smile on his face after hearing such a tragic story. A trace of contemplation flashed through her eyes.
Wang Haiyi continued, "Originally, I just wanted you to give her a little pain, but I didn't expect your guard to have such a bad temper. Originally, I planned to find a 'good marriage' for her in Jiangnan. Now, it's too easy for her. "
It was too easy to let a person die. He originally wanted her to live a life worse than death and let her pay for her sins for the rest of her life. Now that things had come to this, he could only accept it.
Gou Liang smiled and said, "Sorry to spoil your mood. We were rude."
Wang Haiyi laughed and waved his hand. Just as he was about to be polite, Li Xi asked, "Since it was Wang Li's unintentional mistake, where did your hatred for the Wang Family come from?"
"It's a long story." Wang Haiyi sighed. "After my mother died, when I was organizing her belongings, I accidentally discovered an old story. Didn't you just say that my mother was originally a concubine of the second branch? I didn't know about it at first, but I found it in a letter she wrote in the Western Regions language. I wasn't the son of the eldest branch, but the posthumous child of the second branch. "
Wang Haiyi's birth mother was originally the daughter of an official. Her family worked in the Ministry of Rites. She learned the Western Regions language from her father when she was young. Later, because her father's family was convicted, she became an official's slave.
She only wanted a place to settle down, so after falling out of favor, she didn't resent her dissolute husband. Instead, she was very grateful to him for saving her from trouble.
However, she didn't expect that because of her appearance, the eldest uncle of the eldest branch coveted her.
"That bastard used force on my mother. My mother couldn't resist, but she wasn't willing to die, so she could only compromise."
Wang Haiyi's face was full of unwillingness and hatred.
If it weren't for the vastness of the sea, Wang Haiyi was afraid that Gou Liang would throw him into the sea to cover up Wang Li's death and cut off the Wang Family's investigation, he wouldn't have spoken of this shameful past to prove that he had an irreconcilable hatred for the Wang Family.
"On the night of the fire in the second branch, my mother discovered that she was pregnant. She wanted to tell my birth father and use this to get rid of that bastard. However, she didn't expect to witness a tragedy."
"My mother said in her handwritten letter that she saw with her own eyes that it was that bastard and my grandfather who forced my birth father to die. Of course, my birth father didn't want to die, but his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't escape. He could only ask for the reason why he died. Only then did my grandfather tell him the reason. It turned out that the dethroned Crown Prince wasn't the current Crown Prince's biological son at all. At that time, Imperial Concubine Gao gave birth to a female fetus, and the Crown Prince was swapped by the Gao Family! And this matter was discovered by State Preceptor Zhong at that time, so they planned to kill the State Preceptor's family — "
"What does this matter have to do with the Wang Family?!"
Gou Liang suddenly sat up straight and asked sternly.
Wang Haiyi was shocked by his question and looked at Gou Liang suspiciously. He wondered what relationship he had with the Zhong Family and why he was so agitated.
However, he replied calmly, "I was also very surprised at that time."
"It stands to reason that Shangjing and Yong 'an are far apart. The Wang Family and the Zhong Family have no grudges. Moreover, this matter is related to the privacy of the royal family. The Wang Family shouldn't be involved. Later on, I found out that the Wang Family was just doing what they were asked to do. "
"Because the State Preceptor's family has some magical powers, the Gao Family's men of sacrifice alone couldn't kill them. Therefore, someone found my grandfather and asked the assassins that the Wang Family secretly trained to end this matter. They must make sure that no one in the Zhong Family survived."
"My birth father didn't understand. This matter had nothing to do with him, so why did they want him to die now? My grandfather heard that if he didn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't let them go even if he became a ghost. That's why he told me everything. "
"It turns out that the person who found my grandfather wasn't the Gao Family, but the Zhong Family, the Zhong Family of Tianji Mountain!"
"My Wang Family has been a vassal of the Zhong Family since ancient times. They had to obey their orders. My grandfather didn't know why the Zhong Family wanted to harm the State Preceptor's family. However, after the matter was done, the Zhong Family sent a letter … saying that they wanted to use the lives of all the men in the Wang Family to pay for this karma. Otherwise, the entire Wang Family would be killed. My grandfather only had two sons. My birth father was dissolute and hedonistic. He didn't have any achievements in his life, so he naturally became an abandoned person … "
When Li Xi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Gou Liang.
He saw that Gou Liang was deep in thought. He didn't have the tyrannical expression he had imagined. The scar that ran through his entire face didn't have a sinister expression. It was as if he had just heard something unimportant.
But how could this be unimportant?
Gou Liang also didn't expect to hear this kind of inside story from Wang Haiyi.
The original owner of this body had been in the capital for a long time. Even if the Zhong Family didn't realize that he was still alive, he had several grudges with Zhong Yue. It was impossible that the Zhong Family didn't know of his existence. However, for some reason, they didn't send people to kill the original owner of this body. Furthermore, from Zhong Yue's disdain for the Zhong Family in the capital without any hatred or fear, he didn't know of this past …
Thinking of this, Gou Liang asked, "Did your mother hear who in the Zhong Family sent the Wang Family?"
Wang Haiyi shook his head. "My mother didn't even know about the Zhong Family in Tianji Mountain. She only knew that this matter was important, so she recorded everything she heard word for word. Later on, the second branch died in the fire. Only my mother was prepared and luckily escaped. After that, she pretended that I was that bastard's son, saving the lives of both my mother and my son. But I didn't expect that … after more than ten years of hard work, when I could finally rely on myself to support her, it would be destroyed by Wang Li! "
Wang Haiyi's eyes revealed a look of hatred.
Gou Liang was deep in thought.
Zhong Quan looked at him worriedly. Gou Liang came back to his senses and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He smiled at Wang Haiyi and said, "It seems that the person who sent the Zhong Family was indeed a great master of metaphysics. If one person in the second branch of the Zhong Family survives and the karma is not severed, it will bring the disaster of death to the Wang Family … Ha, your prediction is really accurate. "
Wasn't it?
If he hadn't met Wang Haiyi, he and the original owner of the body would never have known that the Zhong Family and the Wang Family were involved in the Zhong Family extermination case in Shangjing. But once he knew … Feeling the original owner's negative soul power increase several times, Gou Liang hooked the corner of his mouth. It was difficult for him to refuse such kindness.
Wang Haiyi didn't understand and wanted to ask again. Gou Liang raised his hand to stop him. He said, "This time, I owe you a favor. So I'll help you with one thing."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Haiyi was puzzled. He saw Gou Liang play the jade flute. The tune was out of tune, but it made people nervous. Wang Haiyi couldn't help but tense up.
Then, the fierce sound of waves came from the distance. A magnificent wave approached, chasing after the ship.
This scene was like a storm on the sea, easily swallowing the small ship!
The Dog Shadows on the ship gathered around with serious expressions. Seeing Zhong Quan's gesture, they relaxed and returned to their own business. The three feet high wave stopped as it approached the ship. It was timid and didn't dare to come any closer. Then, something was thrown up.
Following the sound of the flute, the wave quickly retreated. In a flash, the sea returned to calm. The person thrown up by the wave was Wang Li, who should have sunk into the sea a long time ago. She was still breathing!
Li Xi and Wang Haiyi looked at Gou Liang, who put down the jade flute, and the shock in their hearts was indescribable.
— — This mysterious ability was unheard of!
Gou Liang turned a blind eye to their loss of self-control. He pointed at Wang Li with the jade flute and asked, "Is the third scorer satisfied with this gift?"
Wang Haiyi swallowed his saliva. His ears were ringing, and he instinctively nodded.
"So, we're even." Gou Liang smiled and raised his hand to Zhong Quan. The latter gently picked him up. Gou Liang said, "Ask grandfather to come and take a look. Don't let her die and ruin the third scorer's mood."
Wang Haiyi and Li Xi glanced at each other and saw deep reverence in each other's eyes.
Zhong Quan carried him back to his room. Seeing his cold expression, hiding all his emotions in his cold eyes, he was extremely worried.
"Master, are you okay?"
Gou Liang smiled at him, but there was no warmth in his eyes. He said, "What's not good about it? No matter how many people were involved, the deaths of grandfather and the others are already a foregone conclusion. It cannot be changed. It's just that the Heavenly Secret Zhong Clan … truly surprised me. "
Zhong Quan frowned. "Master, do you want to divine this matter?"
"What, you don't agree?"
Gou Liang shot him a glance.
Zhong Quan nodded. "Although this subordinate doesn't understand metaphysics, I once heard Old Sir say that if one wanted to divine the fate of one's own body and blood relatives, it would be very taxing on the diviner. Although Master is the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid that you can't escape the law … now that your body has finally improved, you must not destroy your own foundation. Leave this matter to this subordinate. Zhong Quan will definitely investigate for Master! "
Gou Liang originally didn't want to waste any energy, so he went with the flow.
Night gradually began to fall.
Gou Liang looked at the undressed Zhong Quan in front of him. For some reason, he felt a little nervous in his anticipation.
"Master, this subordinate will help you undress."
The naked Zhong Quan was completely at ease. Gou Liang's face immediately flushed red. He uncomfortably pushed aside his hand and said, "I, I'll do it myself." However, he didn't dare to look at Zhong Quan's body. His fingers were also flustered. After a long time, he still couldn't untie the knot on his lapel.
Zhong Quan's large hand gripped his hand. His lowered voice was inexplicably hoarse. "Master, don't be afraid. Zhong Quan will be careful."
Gou Liang raised his head to look at him. He let go of his hand, as if he had let go of some sort of persistence.
Zhong Quan methodically undid his clothes. He was like an expert who had experienced the wind and moon, calm in the face of danger. That is, if one ignored the fact that his breathing had become somewhat rough.
Li Xi and Wang Haiyi both felt that the atmosphere on the ship was particularly different tonight. Not only did the number of guards increase, but they were also ordered to stay in the cabin and not go out.
They were puzzled, but soon, a strange sound mixed with the night wind and the sound of the waves rose again and again. It sounded like pain, but it wasn't. It was louder and louder.
Li Xi, the thirteen-year-old boy whose ears were covered by the guards, was speechless.
Wang Haiyi, who had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run, was speechless.
He looked at Wang Li, who was deliberately pricked by the old man to prevent her from sleeping. He originally thought that the old man just wanted to make Wang Li feel pain, but now it seemed that there was another reason. Wang Haiyi smiled evilly. Then he didn't mind cooperating with the old man to let his dear sister understand why she ended up like this.
The moon set in the distant sky, and the sun rose slowly.
Wang Haiyi, Li Xi, and the others, who had been tortured by Gou Liang's shouts all night, were dispirited.
The culprit, on the other hand, slept soundly on Zhong Quan's lap. The latter gently combed his long hair that had just been washed with his fingers, and his fingertips contained internal energy to slowly dry his fine black hair.
The old man was checking Gou Liang's pulse. He saw this scene and muttered that it was too extravagant. Then he said, "His body is fine. It's just that he has overexerted himself. He'll be fine after resting for two days and taking some mild tonics. As for you, I heard about the battle last night. You should also take good care of yourself. If you're not strong enough in the future, he'll have to find another person to relieve the poison. It'll be troublesome. "
Zhong Quan's fingers paused and he looked at him coldly.
The old man didn't buy it at all. He gave each of them a prescription and left happily.
