"An official walked to Nanyang, two steel swords killed Cai Yang. Three people bowed to the Chinese redbud tree, four horses went to Tang Xiaowang. Five tiger generals protected the Crown Prince, six Langs revolted for Meng Jiang, seven lotus pods against treasure, eight characters Li Yu is strong. Buying Han Xin in front of Nine Li Mountain, ambushing Chu Bawang from ten sides … "
Father Xia hummed a folk song that he learned when he traveled around the world. He walked out of the bathroom with a pair of straw slippers on his feet and a large towel wrapped around his body. He sat in front of the dressing table with his hair disheveled.
Two sweet and petite maids immediately came forward and picked up a cowhorn comb to comb his hair. Father Xia hummed and sang non-stop. He seemed to be in a good mood.
A few days ago, Master Xia came up with a bad idea. He pretended that the Old Ancestor was seriously ill to trick Yingying to go home. In order not to arouse Yingying's suspicion, Father Xia naturally went back to Red Maple Lake with his father. But as soon as he arrived at Red Maple Lake, he rushed back without stopping. The reason was actually for Ye Xiaotian.
The old fox of the An family, An Guowei, was very clear about Ye Xiaotian's identity as the Venerable. He knew that with Ye Xiaotian's ability to control hundreds of thousands of mountain seedlings, as long as he was willing, he could play a great role in Guizhou.
But to do this, he must let Ye Xiaotian "enter the world". Otherwise, if there was a storm of blood in Guizhou in the future, when the smoke of war rose, he could go deep into the mountains and become a free king. What could you do?
So An Guowei made up his mind to use the officialdom as the entry point for Ye Xiaotian to enter the world. As long as he had various ties in the world, he would not be able to stand by when Guizhou was in chaos in the future. Because of this, An Guowei tried his best to make Ye Xiaotian a juren and an official of the imperial court.
But among the four families of An, Song, Tian, and Yang, the An family was the "Chieftain King". Their status had always been superior. Once An Guowei made a move, it would easily attract attention. He was usually high and mighty, playing the role of a judge who balanced the interests of the hundreds of chieftains in Guizhou.
If he directly interfered in certain matters, he would break this balance and force some of the chieftains to make a choice and stand against him, colluding with Yang Yinglong of Bozhou.
This was also the reason why he sent his son to the Miao Forbidden Land to interfere with the inheritance of the Venerable but did not use too much power. At that time, he did not even show up at all, only letting his eldest grandson show up in the name of supporting his cousin because his granddaughter was a Miao.
At that time, if An Guowei had personally entered the mountain with great fanfare, it would have caused the various forces to feel deeply uneasy. Fortunately, An Guowei handled it well, and Yang Yinglong didn't want to make it public during the whole process because he had ulterior motives, so there wasn't much of a commotion.
Now An Guowei wanted to cultivate Ye Xiaotian into a big tree that could shelter Guizhou from the wind and rain in the future, but he could not do it himself. It just so happened that at this time, Ye Xiaotian and Xia Yingying were in love, and because of the "Duel at Flower Creek", it caused an uproar in the city.
An Guowei took advantage of the situation and let the Xia family come forward to arrange this matter. This was also the reason why the Xia family did everything possible to obstruct Ye Xiaotian and Xia Yingying from falling in love, but in the eyes of outsiders, the Xia family was doing their best to cultivate Ye Xiaotian.
Old Master Xia did not even tell his own son about this, so Old Master Xia felt very depressed. It was obvious that his father also opposed the relationship between Ye Xiaotian and Yingying, so why did he still spare no effort to cultivate Ye Xiaotian?
However, even if he did not understand, he could only obey his father's orders. This pair of father and son was a very typical China tradition of father and son. Usually, the father and son had almost no time to have a heart-to-heart talk. Whenever they met, Old Master Xia would blow his beard and glare, as if he was not like this, he could not be called a strict father.
Because of this, he naturally could not ask more and could only obediently listen to the orders. These days, Old Master Xia had been keeping an eye on things in Guiyang. He only felt relieved when Ye Xiaotian's orders came down. Tonight, he drank a little wine and planned to have a good sleep. He would rush back to Red Maple Lake early in the morning.
This was because he knew his precious daughter too well. Although Old Master Xia was at Red Maple Lake and could still control Yingying, who knew what Old Master Xia thought about this matter? But who knew what Old Master Xia thought about this matter? If Old Master Xia supported Yingying, perhaps his precious daughter would turn Red Maple Lake upside down.
Old Master Xia hummed a small tune as he pondered about his daughter's matter. The family member in the front house ran into his bedroom, panting: "Old Master, big … big trouble, that Ye … Young Master Ye Xiaotian came to our door to look for our Young Miss."
Old Master Xia was angry when he heard this, "Did our Xia family owe you in our previous life? I can't wait to pinch you to death, but I still have to run around to arrange a way out for you. It's already suffocating enough. You bastard, how dare you push your luck! "
Old Master Xia stood up with a 'whoosh'. The little servant girl was combing his hair and could not react in time. He let out a soft cry and pulled out a few strands of hair. The little servant girl was so scared that she quickly knelt down and said in fear: "Old Master, please forgive me. This servant knows her mistake!"
Old Master Xia ignored her and walked out angrily. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and walked to the corner of the wall. With a 'keng' sound, he unsheathed his saber. His hair was disheveled, and his pair of hairy legs shook as he strode out.
The servant followed behind and secretly stuck out his tongue. He thought: "Old Master is angry. I'm afraid our son-in-law will suffer this time."
Inside the front residence, Ye Xiaotian's drunkenness kicked in and he became even more drunk. However, he still vaguely remembered that someone had told him that Yingying was not here. Ye Xiaotian wanted to walk out step by step, but who knew that he would stumble and run towards the screen wall at the side.
At this time, several of Yingying's cousins who stayed in the Guiyang mansion rushed over. Since the family firmly opposed Yingying and this person being together, they naturally would not be polite to Ye Xiaotian. When they saw Ye Xiaotian running to their house and acting like a drunkard, they immediately shouted angrily: "Ye, stop!"
Ye Xiaotian held onto the screen wall and raised his head in a daze. One of the Xia brothers dashed forward and grabbed him by the collar, "It's always been us, the Xia family, who cause trouble for others. No one has ever dared to cause trouble for the Xia family. You've got some guts to actually come to our door and cause trouble!"
Ye Xiaotian stared straight at him and asked with his tongue hanging out, "Who … are you?"
The man said: "Who am I? I am Yingying's seventy-second cousin! "
Ye Xiaotian suddenly said: "Oh! So it's … seventy-second … Brother-in-law, seventy-second … Brother-in-law, how are you? Hehe, where … is Yingying? "
Seventy-second was unable to restrain his anger. He raised his large fists and said: "Who's your brother-in-law? Don't pretend to be relatives with me. Get lost right now or I'll beat you up!"
Ye Xiaotian laughed and pointed at his nose, shaking it. He said with the smell of alcohol, "No, no, no, impossible! You … don't dare … hit me! "
Seventy-second was angry and amused at the same time. He said: "I don't dare to hit you? Just because you want to be some bullsh * t Warden? "
Ye Xiaotian stiffened his neck and said: "Warden … what the hell is that? You don't dare to hit me? Hehe, if you hit me, I'm not afraid. Anyway … the one crying and feeling heartache is Yingying. You dare to hit me? "
Seventy-second's iron fists were raised in the air. When he heard this, he froze in place. Needless to say, he was really afraid that Yingying would throw a tantrum at him. If Yingying ran to his father and cried, regardless of whether he was in the right or not, his father would definitely beat him up in order to make Yingying happy.
When the other Xia brothers saw this, they hurried forward to pull him away. Following them were a few servants. Seeing that their master was in a difficult position, a quick-witted servant hurried forward and said: "Surnamed Ye, our Eldest Miss is not in the fu. She won't see you in the future. Leave immediately!"
Ye Xiaotian looked at him and asked suspiciously: "You … are you my brother-in-law?"
This servant happened to have sisters, and there were two of them. Being called brother-in-law for no reason, he felt sick of it. He said with a straight face: "I'm not your brother-in-law. I'm a member of the Xia fu."
"Oh!"
Ye Xiaotian looked at him disdainfully and said: "Dog … Dog relying on others …"
At this moment, Old Father Xia carried a broadsword on his shoulder. His hair was disheveled and he had a big towel draped over his shoulders. He swung his hairy legs and rushed over. He didn't hear the preamble and the end of the sentence, but he heard the words' dog relying on others'. He immediately became angry: "Bastard, are you scolding me?"
Ye Xiaotian hiccupped and said: "… Force!"
"Damn you!"
Old Father Xia was so angry that his three corpses jumped up. With a "hu" sound, he slashed his knife at Ye Xiaotian's neck. The Xia brothers were shocked. Right now Yingying was dead set on him. If he killed this untouchable precious egg, then that would be terrible!
The few of them screamed at the top of their lungs: "Sixth uncle, you can't kill him!"
Old Father Xia waved his broadsword and was shocked: "Oh no! This person can't be killed! "
Old Master Xia hurriedly raised his hand. With a "whoosh" sound, the broadsword brushed past Ye Xiaotian's hair bun and slashed down. The blade of the broadsword struck the stone wall, causing sparks to fly.
Ye Xiaotian, who was drunk, was unaware of this. He pointed at Old Father Xia and smirked: "You … You dare not … hit me! Hmm? "
Ye Xiaotian took a closer look and exclaimed in shock, "Oh my! It's my father-in-law. Xiao Tian was … disrespectful … "
Old Father Xia was so angry that he almost fainted. This little bastard couldn't be cut, but he could at least beat him up, right? Old Father Xia punched Ye Xiaotian's chin. Ye Xiaotian flew up and fell down. He fell to the ground and struggled for a while before he stopped moving.
Xia Seventy-two was shocked and hurriedly went up to check. The other brothers also hurriedly gathered around. Old Father Xia saw that he seemed to have made trouble and couldn't help feeling a little worried. He quickly thought of a reason to explain to his daughter: "He scolded my dog father-in-law. Hmm! Yes! That's the reason! Such a disobedient and unfilial thing, is it wrong for me to hit him? "
Xia Seventy-two leaned over to check. The brothers all asked at once: "How is he? Is he okay?"
Xia Seventy-two looked up and said with a smile: "He fell asleep …"
The Xia brothers looked at each other. Old Father Xia, who was on tenterhooks, felt relieved and shouted angrily: "Throw this bastard out and wake him up. Tell him to get out!"
The Xia brothers carried Ye Xiaotian out of the Xia Mansion and threw him on the street. Two family members carried a bucket of well water and poured it on him. Ye Xiaotian was sleeping soundly. He was splashed with cold water, choked and slowly woke up.
Seeing that he had woken up, Old Father Xia waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
The brothers followed Old Father Xia back to the Xia Mansion and closed the door with a bang. After a while, under the shadow of the courtyard wall not far away, two figures slowly walked out and slowly walked to the front of Ye Xiaotian …
