In Hailong Village, the grass was green at the foot of the mountain and the snow was white on the mountain. For the chieftains of Bozhou, their current mood was like the difference between the scenery at the foot of the mountain and the scenery at the foot of the mountain, a stark contrast of ice and fire.
It had been many days since the death of the Handprint Lady, Madam Zhang, and some news had gradually leaked out, but the turmoil caused by her murder was still rippling endlessly.
Tan Qimeng, an accountant of Hailong Village, had always been on good terms with another accountant, Xu Suqing. As a matter of fact, he had come to Xu Suqing's residence to chat with her.
It was a rare windless afternoon. The sky was blue like the calm sea, and the sunlight shone in the courtyard, giving off a warm feeling. The two sat on two rattan chairs in the courtyard, with a rattan table in the middle with tea and dried fruits on it.
Tan Qimeng said, "Have you heard? The Heavenly King went to Dragon Claw Village with his sword and killed the Handprint Lady and all the people around her."
Xu Suqing humbly asked, "The Heavenly King really drank too much. Didn't he ask the Lady if she was wronged?"
"Hmph!"
Tan Qimeng's eyes shone with wisdom. He said to his old friend in a tone of understanding, "You, don't just know how to play with the beads of an abacus. How great can you be? Listen up! Eyes light up! The consequences of standing on the wrong side are very serious! "
Tan Qimeng tapped his fingers on the rattan table and lectured his old friend, then asked, "Where did Madam Zhang come from?"
"Mount Longhu!"
"You and I are both the chief accountant of the village. Do you know why we spend so much money and grain? Do you understand what our Heavenly King is planning? "
"Alas, if I still don't understand, wouldn't I be an idiot?"
"That's right. Tell me, if one day our Heavenly King raises the banner of righteousness and strives for the world, will the Zhang clan of Mount Longhu respond?"
"How is that possible? That's the Orthodoxy, and its territory is under the rule of the imperial court. Would it dare to respond to us? The imperial court can destroy it with a snap of its fingers. Besides, the Zhang family of Mount Longhu is the same as the Kong family of Shandong. No matter how the imperial court changes, they will be promoted and passed down for generations. How stupid would they have to be to help others rebel? Once they have a stance, they will lose the transcendent identity that their ancestors created for them. How can the Zhang family of Mount Longhu sacrifice everything for a daughter? "
"This is it!"
Tan Qimeng glanced at his old friend with a smile and advised, "If the Heavenly King rebelled, and Lady Palm Seal's family is dragging us down, what's the use of having such a Lady Palm Seal? What's more, the Heavenly King and the Palm Seal Lady were already sick of each other. Perhaps the Palm Seal Lady would leak information to the imperial court or something. Regardless of whether she was wronged or not, he would kill her first. Then, he would have a justifiable excuse. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? If you want to achieve great things, you must first get rid of hidden dangers! "
Xu Suqing suddenly understood. "I see! Brother Tan, brilliant! "
"Hehe …" Tan Qimeng stroked his beard, pretending to be an otherworldly expert. He smiled faintly without saying a word.
…
Tian Tianyou was Yang Yinglong's trusted aide. On the day of the incident, he had followed Ye Xiaotian to the guest house, so he didn't personally witness the truth of the Dragon Claw Village massacre. After the incident, he found Zhao Wenyuan. "Brother Wenyuan, I heard that He En, Song Shichen, Zhang Shizhao, and the others have all escaped?"
Zhao Wenyuan didn't hide anything from his good friend. "That's right. Those who are close to the Palm Seal Lady have either escaped or surrendered. The world is in chaos."
Tian Tianyou frowned. "Zhang Shizhao and his gang won't cause any trouble, right?"
Zhao Wenyuan replied, "That's hard to say. But … the Heavenly King has already ordered to block all the major and minor roads. The whole of Bozhou is only allowed to enter, but not to leave. I don't think they can escape."
Tian Tianyou shook his head. "Roads only become roads because they are easy to walk on. When escaping, mountains, ravines, rivers, and all the places that are usually difficult to walk on or don't want to walk on can become roads of life. Although the Heavenly King has many troops, it's impossible to surround the whole of Bozhou. If they want to escape, it's not impossible. "
Zhao Wenyuan sighed and said, "That's not something we should worry about. Sigh, the Palm Seal Lady is really too much. If she really can't bear it, she can just pretend to be a phoenix with the maidservants and use some tools like Mister Horn to soothe her lust. How would she dare to find a man? She's the Heavenly King's woman! "
"Silence!"
Tian Tianyou hurriedly covered his mouth. Looking around, he said nervously, "Do you not want your life anymore? How dare you say anything? Even if the Palm Seal Lady deserves to die, it's not our place to make fun of her. The Heavenly King is in a fit of anger right now. If he finds out, he'll probably chop you up with his sword. "
Zhao Wenyuan glared at him and pulled his hand down. "What are you afraid of? This is my home! Every one of them is either my family or my servants. Betray me? Even if they don't end up like that Lady Duo Li, servants who betray their masters can forget about ever getting out of this predicament. "
Tian Tianyou sighed. Looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, he said, "According to what you said, if Zhang Shizhao and the others really escape from Bozhou, I'm afraid it'll be very disadvantageous to the Heavenly King. Although they didn't participate in the Heavenly King's scheme, it's inevitable that they'll find some clues. When the time comes, they'll report it to the imperial court … "
Zhao Wenyuan said excitedly, "Isn't this the day we've been waiting for? If the Heavenly King achieves great things, you and I can at least become high-ranking officials, right? When the time comes, I won't stay here anymore. I want to go to Jiangzhe, that rich and prosperous place! "
Tian Tianyou's eyes also lit up. "Hehe, my ambition isn't that big. When the time comes, I'll be satisfied as long as you give me Ye Xiaotian's Tong and Shi Mansions!"
"Look at you!"
Zhao Wenyuan curled his lips in disdain. "I'll occupy Jiangzhe, and you'll occupy Huguang. When the time comes, our families will unite by marriage. We'll be the most powerful officials under the Heavenly King. We'll live with the country and prosper for thousands of generations. That's what ambition is!"
…
Tian Binfei pushed the four wheelchairs and walked slowly along the veranda with Tian Xiufeng. They stopped at a place where the sun shone brightly.
The bright sunlight shone on Tian Xiufeng's embroidered clothes. The soft green leaves and bright peonies on the embroidered clothes presented a distinct three-dimensional feeling, as if they were alive. Her enchanting and moving body was like the water flowing under the flowers, enchanting.
Tian Binfei looked at Tian Xiufeng's tender face, which was illuminated by the sunlight. It was as translucent as white jade. She was so flawless and beautiful. Who would have thought that she would have such a malicious heart? Tian Binfei said indifferently, "Madam Palm Seal's death was Madam's scheme, right?"
Tian Xiufeng smiled sweetly, like a blooming flower. "If the Heavenly King didn't want to kill her, even if I used a scheme, would I be able to kill her? If someone reported to the Heavenly King that I, Tian Xiufeng, had an affair, the Heavenly King would definitely ask me for an explanation. He wouldn't just raise his sword and kill her. "
"Really? Madam, are you sure? If the Heavenly King broke down the door and saw the drunk Madam and the drunk manservant lying naked on the same bed, hugging each other to sleep, wouldn't he stab the two of you in the heart with his sword? Would he wake Madam up and ask her for an explanation? "
Tian Xiufeng was somewhat vexed. Her pair of phoenix-like eyes glared at Tian Binfei. "It seems like you're fighting for Madam Zhang's justice?"
Tian Binfei sighed and said, "I'm just feeling a bit emotional."
Tian Xiufeng smiled charmingly. She raised her eyes to look at the mountains that extended into the distance like a crouching dragon. She said leisurely, "Without the Zhang family holding us back, and taking the opportunity to cut off those disobedient chieftains and headmen, the Heavenly King should make his move soon. Once the Heavenly King succeeds, our plan to revive the Tian Clan will be a success! "
Tian Xiufeng cheerfully turned to Tian Binfei. "At that time, you'll be the hero who endured humiliation for the Tian Clan! You can restore your true identity and pull the Tian Clan of Si Zhou over. You can merge with our Bai Ni Tian Clan and rebuild the foundation of the Tian Clan. "
Tian Xiufeng slowly turned around and opened her arms. She was like an empress who ruled over the world. "At that time, I'll be the empress! You'll be the head of the Yang family, the number one aristocratic family in the world. You and I will help each other. You help me consolidate my position as the empress, and I'll help you strengthen the Tian Clan. If you and I join hands, we can raise the Tian Clan to a height that our ancestors never reached! "
Tian Binfei smiled as he looked at her posture. He silently said in his heart, "If Yang Yinglong succeeds, the Tian family will have you. If Yang Yinglong dies, the Tian family will have me. In short, no matter what, the Tian Clan will rise again! "
…
In Hailong Tun. The disturbance caused by the Palm Seal Madam's death had yet to settle. In the guest room, Ye Xiaotian's body tossed and turned like a pancake. He crossed his legs and laid on the bed with his arms as a pillow. He sighed for a while before lying there again, as listless as a dead dog.
Elder Dong sat by the bed. He was still dressed in black robes. He had a bald head and a hawk nose, giving him a gloomy appearance. However, his voice was unusually kind. "Sir, what's troubling you so much?"
Ye Xiaotian widened his eyes in surprise. "Hmm? You can see? "
Elder Dong had no idea how to react. "Sir, my eyesight isn't good, but it's not to the point where I can't even see a living person tossing and turning in front of me. Not to mention, sir … you've already sighed sixty-two times. I'm not deaf, so of course I can hear you."
Elder Dong was the only trusted subordinate that Ye Xiaotian had brought with him in Hailong Tun this time. His eyesight was far too problematic. If he remained in Crouching Bull Ridge, he would not be of much help if something happened, so Ye Xiaotian had brought him here.
Ye Xiaotian sighed. "About this, I …"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly raised his guard. He asked, "Is there anyone outside?"
Elder Dong reached into his robes, and a while later, a few tiny beetles crawled out from under his robes, flying off in all directions. Elder Dong said, "Don't worry, sir. If someone comes, I'll know."
Ye Xiaotian was still very confident in elder Dong's abilities, so he sighed. "I- I'm worried whether I'll leave behind a vile spawn." Reaching there, Ye Xiaotian could not help but recall the enchanting scene from last night. His heart skipped a beat.
After bathing last night, just when he was about to go to bed, caretaker Wei Yu, who was in charge of receiving guests in the Hailong Tun, suddenly appeared with a smile. Behind him were over 10 graceful beauties in fresh and clean clothes, and all of them were youthful beauties with appearances like celestial fairies.
Caretaker Wei smiled like a procuress. He only said a single sentence to Ye Xiaotian, "Sir, you can keep whichever one you like to sleep with. If you like all of them, you can keep them all. Hehehe, although they've learned how to serve men since they were young, they're still virgins. Hehehe … "
Ye Xiaotian was currently disguised as Ye Xiao 'an. He understood his elder brother's character very well. If he rejected him sternly right now, he would undoubtedly expose his identity. He was a man, so he could not just say bashfully, "It's not convenient for the Lun family these few days …"
As a result, the only thing Ye Xiaotian could do was make a series of dazzling choices before choosing a girl shyly. There was nothing much to say about what happened after that. They took off their shoes and climbed onto the bed. Their bodies were spread out, and they slept together.
The hairpin was taken off, her hair was tied up, her belt was untied, and her clothes were unbuttoned. The girl's skin was tight and smooth like jade. She looked beautiful, her breasts were shaking, and her legs were pink. With a light touch, her body would tremble and twitch as if she had been electrocuted. The budding flower bud was blooming with infinite charm and shyness.
No man could stand such a scene. So General Ye took his spear and got on the horse. He had a night of ecstasy. When the absurd situation was over, he became worried. "I'm going to fight to the death with Yang Yinglong. What if I leave a child here as a hostage? What should I do?"
The small head was tired, and the big head was clear again. So Eldest Master Ye became distressed.
"Hehe …"
Elder Dong listened to Ye Xiaotian's distress and couldn't help but smile. "If Sir was so worried, why didn't you tell me earlier? I've studied Gu and medicine all my life. I have my ways to prevent that girl from getting pregnant."
Ye Xiaotian had a night with that unknown girl, so he couldn't help but feel protective towards her. He frowned. "That's not good either. It's such a cruel thing to deprive a girl of her fertility."
Elder Dong said, "Of course it's temporary. Hehe, didn't I say it before? Most Gu don't have long lifespans. There are very few Gu that can parasitize the human body and die with it. My Gu doesn't have that kind of longevity."
Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed. He crawled up and knelt on the bed. He looked at Elder Dong happily. "Really? Haha! Elder Dong, you really are my savior. So, I won't accidentally leave behind a child here? "
Elder Dong was taken aback. "How would this old man know if Milord left behind a son by coincidence last night?"
Ye Xiaotian was also stunned. "That's not right. Didn't you just say …"
Elder Dong said, "That's right. What I said just now was, if I had done something to her."
Ye Xiaotian said blankly, "Then … what do we do?"
Elder Dong narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ye Xiaotian "darkly". "Why don't … Sir, summon that girl to serve you again tonight? I'll take advantage of the opportunity to do something to her then. "
"Ah! About that … "Ye Xiaotian was bashful. He was rather embarrassed. He gathered his courage and was about to answer when Elder Dong suddenly said, "Someone's here!"
Footsteps rang out, and the door opened. Sure enough, a person walked in. It was Tian Tianyou. "Sir, I'm afraid we can't return to the Crouching Ox Ridge." Seeing elder Dong sit beside Ye Xiaotian, Tian Tianyou dismissed his arrogance in a hurry and said politely.
Ye Xiaotian was still kneeling on the bed. He said in confusion, "Why?"
Tian Tianyou said, "Chieftain Yang is in some trouble. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to go to Chengdu and be a witness!"
Ye Xiaotian was shocked. "What do you need me to be a witness for? When are you going to Chengdu? "
Tian Tianyou said, "About being a witness … I think Heavenly King Yang will tell you personally. As for when we depart, the sooner the better. "
Ye Xiaotian's expression tensed up. "The sooner the better? How about tomorrow? "
Tian Tianyou looked at him strangely. "Why do we have to wait until tomorrow? It's not even noon yet. It's not too late to depart today. "
Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes at him and thought, I'm going to use contraception tonight. Do you think I'll tell you?
