Chapter 235

"You came today just for Ning 'er?"

"That's right!"

"Haha, Chieftain Ye, we can talk about anything except Ning 'er's marriage!"

"Senior Zhan, I can talk to you about anything, but Ning 'er's marriage first."

"We can talk about anything?" Zhan Boxiong sneered. "Alright! If I want you to submit to me, will you agree? "

Ye Xiaotian said in a low voice, "Senior Zhan, Ning 'er is my responsibility, the thousands of children are also my responsibility, and those who follow me and are loyal to me are also my responsibility. I will not give up another responsibility for one! King You of Zhou can play with the nobles for the smile of a beauty, but I can't! "

"Then we have nothing to talk about. My Zhan family has already set a marriage agreement with Bozhou's Heavenly King Yang. By this time next year, I'm afraid Ning 'er will already be pregnant with a descendant of the Yang family. Chieftain Ye, you are young and promising, so why worry about not having a beauty to accompany you? Ning 'er doesn't have that fortune, so please leave! "

Ye Xiaotian said, "Yang Yinglong has the ambition of a wolf and has been preparing to rebel for a long time. Not only can his ambition not be hidden from people in Guizhou, I'm afraid the imperial court has already sensed it. Although Yang Yinglong plays an important role in Guizhou, what is he to the imperial court?

If I remember correctly, Bozhou is where the capital of the Gu Yelang Kingdom is located. It's not an exaggeration to describe Yang Yinglong as arrogant. He hasn't shown any signs of rebellion yet, so the imperial court can't punish him for his crimes. Once he starts a rebellion, the imperial court will be able to crush him into powder in an instant. Senior Zhan will inevitably be implicated when the time comes. You are the head of a family, so you have to be careful. "

Zhan Boxiong didn't really believe that Yang Yinglong had the ambition to rebel against the imperial court. In his opinion, all of Yang Yinglong's actions were just to become the Chieftain King and stand above the other three chieftains. Even if Yang Yinglong really wanted to rebel against the imperial court, that was a matter of the future. He would first use Yang Yinglong's power to strengthen the Zhan family and act according to the situation.

If Yang Yinglong was the true son of the dragon, then he would be the most meritorious official. Adding on his niece, even if she wasn't the Empress, she would be the Imperial Noble Consort. How far would the Zhan family rise? If Yang Yinglong was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and was no match for the Imperial Court, he would be a great hero of the Imperial Court if he stood up in time to make his stand clear. First, he would be supported by the Yang family, and then he would be trusted by the Imperial Court. He would be able to advance or retreat at will, and he would always be invincible.

Zhan Boxiong's calculations were good, and he really had the ambition of an ambitious and ruthless person. Unfortunately, in his overall consideration, he had completely treated Yang Yinglong as an idiot, and even more so, he had treated the Great Ming Dynasty, which was full of talents, as an idiot.

Zhan Boxiong calculated proudly. He purposely put on a stern expression and said angrily to Ye Xiaotian, "Shut up! Heavenly King Yang is a high official, an important official of the imperial court. He is trusted by the imperial court and was just rewarded at the beginning of the year. Heavenly King Yang was a high-ranking official and an important minister of the imperial court. He had always been trusted by the imperial court and had even been rewarded at the beginning of the year with the title of Imperial Commander! Ye Xiaotian looked at this stubborn fool with pity. He shook his head. "You can never wake a person who is pretending to be asleep!

Ye Xiaotian looked at the stubborn fool with pity in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "If a person is pretending to be asleep, you can never wake him up! Zhan Boxiong snorted. "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Do I need you to teach me a lesson?

Senior Zhan, if you continue to be stubborn, one day, you will bring the Zhan family into the abyss! " Ning 'er has already been betrothed to the Yang family. Please go back! "

Ye Xiaotian was still trying. "Senior Zhan, you want to strengthen the Zhan family? Sure, but you should know that Shi Qian's Yang family is now surnamed Ye. Our two families are now close neighbors. If our two families can be on good terms, wouldn't that be better than Yang Yinglong who's far away in Bozhou? "

Zhan Boxiong laughed out loud and pointed at Ye Xiaotian. "Arrogant brat, do you think you are worthy of being on equal footing with me? Do you think you are worthy of being compared to the Yang family of Bozhou? You occupied Shi Qian's Yang family. Do you think the Yang family of Bozhou will sit by and do nothing? If you anger Yang Tian Wang, I'm afraid you will end up without a corpse left! "

Ye Xiaotian suppressed his anger and said, "Senior Zhan …"

Zhan Boxiong suddenly turned around and put his hands behind his back. He raised his head and shouted, "Send the guest off!"

Ye Xiaotian took a step forward and shouted, "Zhan Boxiong!"

A few warriors rushed out from the hall and forced Ye Xiaotian back.

Ye Xiaotian glared at Zhan Boxiong's back and nodded his head forcefully. "Okay, I'll go! Today, this Ye was trying to be polite before resorting to force. It was you, Zhan Boxiong, who didn't know how to appreciate favors! Even if Ning 'er is taken, I will use the knife in my hand to snatch her away. Remember what I said. Goodbye! "

Ye Xiaotian strode out. Hua Yunfei, who was waiting in the courtyard, was holding his knife and on guard. When he saw him come out, he immediately went up to him. Ye Xiaotian hurriedly walked and said in a low voice, "The marriage proposal failed. Prepare the second plan!"

Hua Yunfei nodded in understanding.

In the courtyard, Zhan Boxiong heard Ye Xiaotian's ruthless words and unconsciously turned around to look at Ye Xiaotian's disappearing back.

Ye Xiaotian's back was tall and straight, exuding a sharp and decisive aura. When he walked past the screen wall, he didn't even look back. He took steady and powerful steps and disappeared in a flash. Zhan Boxiong instantly frowned.

A few days ago, he suddenly retreated into the mountains. It was most likely to lure the Yang family to invade his stronghold and land, creating an excuse for him to counterattack the Yang family. This person's ambition is not small. Now that he has taken over the Shi Qian Yang family, is his appetite limited to this? This Ye Xiaotian will probably use force against the Zhan family for Ning 'er. Even if he can't snatch Ning' er away, he can still take the opportunity to steal my Zhan family's land. What a plan to kill two birds with one stone!

Thinking up to here, Zhan Boxiong's killing intent rose. Yang Tian Wang has always coveted the Shi Qian Yang family. Now that the Shi Qian Yang family has fallen into the hands of an outsider, Yang Tian Wang definitely won't let this go. I might as well make the first move! At that time, Yang Tian Wang won't have the face to share some benefits with me? My Zhan family's territory hasn't expanded for hundreds of years …

At this moment, the housekeeper hurriedly walked over and said to Zhan Boxiong, "Master, Miss Tian wanted to see Ning 'er, but I stopped her and she left angrily. You see … "

Zhan Boxiong waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let her be! The Tian family's strength is only on par with my Zhan family. She still wants to put on the airs of the four heavenly kings. Who cares about her! "

The housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed. He was about to leave when Zhan Boxiong suddenly stopped him. "Wait, come closer!"

…

Tian Miaowen was secretly paying attention. The moment she saw that Ye Xiaotian was about to leave, she prepared to leave. Actually, if she stayed in the Zhan family, she would be the best alibi. However, the feeling that Ye Xiaotian gave her had always been that he was scheming, alert, and cunning.

Even if she watched from the side, she wouldn't be able to do anything unless she personally came out to command. She still instinctively wanted to watch the result with her own eyes. This was probably a common problem of some smart people.

Another reason was that she felt that she had let down Zhan Ning 'er and didn't want to face her again. Although she didn't have the intention to kill Ye Xiaotian, this action would make it even more impossible for Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning 'er. This marriage would be ruined in her hands.

Thus, when Tian Miaowen pretended to get up and go to the backyard to visit Ning 'er, the housekeeper guarding outside had already received his master's orders. How could he let her go? If Ning' er knew that Ye Xiaotian had come, she would definitely cause trouble again. With the Zhan family's housekeeper stopping her, Tian Miaowen took the opportunity to flare up and angrily left the Zhan family castle.

Ye Xiaotian led the team in front, and Tian Miaowen followed from afar. Not long after, another group of men rushed out of the Zhan family castle and attacked from the side.

Ye Xiaotian walked slowly on the road, turning his head to look from time to time. Seeing that there were no pursuers, he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. According to his plan, if he provoked Zhan Boxiong to have killing intent towards him, then the best choice would be to wait for him to leave the castle and kill him.

Ye Xiaotian was also the leader of a faction. Whenever he had a thought, he would consider how to do things to give himself room to maneuver. On this point, he was the same as Zhan Boxiong, so he guessed that if Zhan Boxiong wanted to kill him, he would definitely use this method.

At that time, he would be able to put up some resistance, and then let his horse gallop madly to escape to his own territory. He had already sent Yu Po-man and Yu Jiahai to bring an ambush ahead to receive him. At that time, he would be caught red-handed, and he would have a reason to make things difficult for Zhan Boxiong.

But now that he had already walked quite a distance, there was still no one chasing out of the Zhan family castle. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be disappointed. If they didn't want to kill him, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just run up to Zhan Boxiong and stretch his neck to provoke him, could he?

Hua Yunfei looked back and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Big Brother, I'm afraid the plan has failed. No one is chasing us."

Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "Forget it, the wedding is next year anyway. There's still half a year's time. I'll definitely think of a way to save her."

Just as he said this, Hua Yunfei suddenly stopped his horse and listened attentively. He said, "There's movement!"

As he said this, Hua Yunfei nimbly slid down from the back of his horse. He put his ear to the ground and raised his left hand, signaling everyone to stop.

All the guards stopped their horses. Hua Yunfei was the most outstanding hunter, and his eyes and ears were extremely sensitive. He 'listened' for a moment, then raised his head and said to Ye Xiaotian, "There's the sound of galloping horses, and there's quite a number of people!"

Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed. He immediately ordered, "Everyone, be on guard!"

Hua Yunfei got on his horse and said, "Big Brother, why don't you take some people with you and leave some for me to put on a show?"

Ye Xiaotian gritted his teeth and said, "This old bastard, he really wants to kill me! No, I'm not leaving. I must wait for them to catch up. I want to put on a show and make sure he can't deny it! "

At this time, a black dot appeared on the distant horizon. The black dot quickly turned into a black line. As they continued to look, they could see that it was a group of cavalry galloping at high speed.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

Bright hunting knives were raised in the air, as cold as the winter snow. Then, crescent-moon-shaped hooked knives were grasped tightly by the guards. They had a long knife in one hand and a short knife in the other. Their faces were filled with bloodthirst and cruelty.

Born in the mountains, it was not wrong to say that they were simple, honest, and rarely scheming. But that was only to their own clansmen and their leaders. To outsiders, they were far more cruel than the warriors outside the mountains. Otherwise, they wouldn't have a fierce reputation.

Ye Xiaotian also grasped the hilt of his knife. Although he was only good at taking a beating, when he saw the light cavalry was only a stone's throw away from them, Hua Yunfei, who was ready to fight, suddenly froze and cried out, "Big Brother, something doesn't seem right!"

Ye Xiaotian also saw clearly at this time and was stunned, "This lady's hair is disheveled and she's out of breath. It's as if she was caught having an affair with her man. Is she the eldest daughter of the Tian family?"
