Manor Master Liu snorted coldly and changed his position to watch the show. Ping Ruoyu said anxiously, "Are you such an untrustworthy person? I've finally seen through you. When there's nothing going on, you speak well. But when there's something going on, you break all your promises! Didn't you promise me that you would listen to me and do as I say in the future? Now, it's just a small and harmless request and you're going to reject it? In your heart, you only care about your own feelings and whether you're willing or not. When have you ever cared about your daughter? Don't you know that if you continue to reject me, we'll both die here? Is this how you compensate me for the rest of my life? It wasn't easy for me to get fatherly love and I'm very satisfied. I hope that I can be with you and enjoy the rest of my life. But you want me to lose the father I respect the most? "
She wiped her tears and said, "Bear with it for a while and the wind will be calm. Take a step back and the sky will be clear. I beg you, I really love you more than anyone else."
Manor Master Ping frowned and said, "Yu 'er, you … aren't you helping an outsider to make things difficult for me? I'm an incompetent father. I can't give my daughter the happiness she wants. But I can't let her suffer because of me … Don't worry about me! Go! Go! "
Ping Ruoyu said anxiously, "I … I …" But he couldn't say it out loud. Manor Master Xia pretended to be considerate and said leisurely, "She can't go." Manor Master Ping asked, "Why? What did you do to her? " Manor Master Xia smiled and said, "I said she can't go because she's in my territory. She's been poisoned by the miasma in this secret passage. Even if she leaves now, she'll die. So she can only stay here and be at my mercy."
Manor Master Ping shouted angrily, "How dare you! You're a despicable and shameless person. Whatever grudges we have, you can come at me! Why are you finding trouble with my daughter? "Manor Master Xia's face turned serious and said," Don't forget who you're talking to. The lives of the two of you are still in my hands. What right do you have to yell and shout at me? If you make any more noise, I can beat you until you can't make any sound for the rest of your life! "
Manor Lord Ping was choked with anger and had no choice but to swallow his resentment. He then pleaded in a gentle voice, "Brother Xia, if I've offended you in the past, I can apologize to you. Even if you have to cut off my head, it would be enough to appease your anger! I only ask that you not make things difficult for my daughter for the sake of the four of us being sworn brothers! "
Manor Master Xia also deliberately put on a long face and said, "What's the point of saying all this now? Then why can't you agree to my condition on account of the four of us being sworn brothers? Moreover, this is greatly beneficial to you! I am an honest businessman, and I advocate fair trade! You have your own principles, and I also have my own bottom line to uphold! You have your own principles, and I have my own bottom line to uphold! Now that you've never taken a step back, why should I always compromise with you? "
Ping Ruoyu braced himself and said, "Yes, Uncle Xia is right. We can't let anyone look down on our Four Great Families. Back then, Han Xin was humiliated and the King of Yue, Gou Jian, also had to endure the pain of enduring hardships. We are not important people now, but we admire the deeds of heroes and can also imitate their legacy … "
Manor Lord Liu sneered and said, "Forget it. How can there be such a daughter who is greedy for life and afraid of death, helping an outsider with every word? She doesn't hesitate to cry and force her own father to go against his wishes. Such an unfilial daughter, it's better not to have her. It's fine if you don't want her! Brother Ping, you only care about her, but have you ever thought about how she treats you? I heard that she recently married into the Prince's Mansion. In the future, she will be content to be her Princess and kick you out of the house. When you're old and weak, lying on your bed on the verge of death, do you think she'll come and visit you? "
Manor Lord Xia pulled out a long knife and placed it behind Ping Ruoyu's neck and said, "Brother Ping, if you don't agree, I will kill your daughter! Do you want your awkward dignity, or do you want your beloved daughter? Think about it carefully and you'll understand. The dead can't be brought back to life and you won't have the chance to regret it! You have to think about it carefully. "
Ping Ruoyu felt the knife on his neck and wanted to remind his father that Manor Lord Xia was just threatening him and would not really hurt him. But he could not be considered a very useful chess piece. If by any chance he spoiled his plan and caused him to fly into a rage out of humiliation, it would be hard to say whether or not everything would still be a bluff. He always cherished his life and did not dare to remind his father.
Manor Lord Ping suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was extremely shrill as he said, "Good, good, the best brother is often the most terrifying enemy because he knows all of your weaknesses. This saying is not wrong at all! Good, since you are forcing me and not leaving me any room for choice, I will compromise with you! "As he said this, he suddenly turned around and slammed his head against the wall.
Ping Ruoyu cried out in alarm. Manor Lord Xia was faster than her and had already taken a step forward. He pressed one hand on Manor Lord Ping's shoulder and the other hand on the wall to prevent him from slamming his head. He sneered and said, "Do you want to die? It's still too early. How can I let you die so easily? "Manor Lord Ping said miserably," I can't agree and I can't refuse. I can only die to fulfill your wish. Why, do you have to make me beg for death before you are satisfied? "
Manor Lord Xia sighed and said, "Why is it so difficult to persuade you? Think about it, as long as you are willing to agree, the four of us will be the closest allies. That Seven Malevolent Saint is just an outsider. We are making use of his influence and power to save a chance for our four great clans. Do I need you to tell me when we are just waiting for our vitality to recover? I will be the first one to kick him away! What's so great about that kid? What right does he have to tell us what to do? "
Manor Lord Ping said, "I don't want to use people and I don't want to be used by people. Now you are saying that you will kick him away? Let me ask you, can you kick him away cleanly? "
Manor Lord Liu could not help but shout, "Brother Xia! You are so focused on persuading Manor Lord Ping, how can you forget about me? As long as you agree to split the benefits fifty-fifty, I will immediately follow you without a second thought! " Manor Lord Xia snorted and said disdainfully, "If I agree to split the benefits fifty-fifty, why would I need you? Naturally, there are talented people who are willing to be used by me. "
Manor Lord Liu was furious and was about to speak when Manor Lord Xia said, "At first, I told you to split the benefits forty-sixty but you refused. If you agree now, you will only have thirty-seventy. If you continue, it will be twenty-eighty. I believe you don't want to be one-ninety or let me take all of it, right? "
Manor Lord Liu roared, "You … you dare!" Manor Lord Xia smiled and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Our four families have been dominant for many years but no matter if it was the original four cities or the four families later on, no matter how many different rankings those pedantic people have given us, your Liu family has always been at the bottom. The strong naturally have the right to accept the offerings of the weak. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with? "
While the two were talking, a man in black suddenly came close and whispered into Manor Lord Xia's ear. It was unknown what bad news he had reported but Manor Lord Xia, who was smiling and confident, suddenly flew into a rage and said angrily, "What are you rushing me for? Does this brat think I am rushing him? I don't have that much free time! "The subordinate said a few words and hurriedly left.
Manor Lord Xia turned his head and glanced at the three people. As if he had made a painful decision, he said, "Brother Ping, if you are really unwilling, I will not force you. However, it will be difficult for me to report back to the Seven Evil Spirits. You know that brat's temper is unpredictable. When he is angry, he will kill people. Don't make it difficult for me! How about this, you come with me to find him and tell him 'you don't want to do it'. Then, you will be clear of this matter. I have already done my best. It is you who do not know how to appreciate kindness. Don't harm me. "
Manor Lord Ping was startled. After being in a deadlock with the other person for a long time, although both of them did not back down, if the other person suddenly gave in, their initial reaction would not be good. They had to confirm the news repeatedly to evoke a sense of accomplishment. He smiled and said, "That's good! I will definitely boast about you in front of the Seven Evil Spirits. I will tell them how unscrupulous you were to persuade me to surrender! "Manor Lord Xia snorted and said," There is no need for that. Just tell them the truth. "
Ping Ruoyu felt that Manor Lord Xia was determined to win and should not give up so easily. In ancient times, when two armies fought, if the captive was a person with a strong background, the captive would be tortured for several months. The captive would not hesitate to spend a large amount of manpower and money to invite a number of eloquent people to repeatedly persuade the captive to surrender. If the captive was not moved by force or persuasion, the captive would not let go of such a hard bone. Most of the time, the captive would be executed on the spot. But today's matter was unpredictable.
She thought about how Manor Lord Xia's words were like pearls. He was so focused on persuading the captive that there was no reason for him to suddenly be kind after such a short time. She could not help but ask, "Uncle Xia, are you serious? Are you really willing to let my father go? "Although she knew that it was useless to ask this question, even if Manor Lord Xia had a conspiracy, he would not tell her. But since she heard it with her own ears, she felt a lot more at ease.
Manor Lord Xia replied, "Yes, a forcibly picked melon is not sweet. Brother Ping is determined to retire from Jianghu and his heart is not in the Wulin world. Even if he is there, he has no value. But I have already said that I cannot bear this burden. You will have to explain it to him yourself. If the Seven Evil Spirits agree to let you go, why should I force you to stay? "Ping Ruoyu was overjoyed and quickly said," Father, I will go with you! The Seven Evil Spirits … I have a friendship with him. He will listen to my advice … "
Manor Lord Xia sneered, "You promised to go with me. How could you forget? What a girl who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you really think that he would care about your friendship? He's just putting on a show. " Manor Master Liu interjected, "Don't even think about leaving me behind … Brother Xia, Brother Ping, when we became sworn brothers, we declared that the four of us are one. We will share blessings and hardships together. I will go with you!"
Manor Lord Xia wanted to provoke him to go with them, but she did not want him to be suspicious. He pretended to be surprised and said, "It's hard for you to remember those words from back then even at this point in time? But what are you going to do if you go? " Manor Lord Liu snorted, "I will discuss with him. He will allow me to split the profits fifty-fifty. Let's see if you dare to act shamelessly then." Manor Master Xia sneered and said, "Lord Jiang is very busy. Do you think he will care about our trivial matters?"
Manor Lord Liu shouted, "We will only know the situation when we go! Don't think that you can cover it up with just a few words. Your words can represent Official Jiang's judgment! The more you don't want me to go, the more I have to go! "
Manor Lord Xia pretended to be helpless and said, "Go then. Who is stopping you? It is just that I don't know how angry he will be when he sees that I have brought such a useless person. " While the two of them were arguing, Ping Ruoyu had already helped Manor Lord Ping up. He did not say a word and stood outside the door to wait.
After a while, there were four figures walking quickly in the palace. Among these people, only Villa Master Xia, who was the leader, was the most anxious. From time to time, he would raise his head to look at the sky, and from time to time, he would let out a series of strange curses. Others could not even guess what he was angry about.
Just as they were approaching the palace gate, a yellow palanquin suddenly came from the side of the road. Manor Lord Xia frowned. He did not have the patience to argue with it and wanted to take a detour. The palanquin was very persistent. It turned a corner and stopped in front of Manor Lord Xia. Then, a slender hand stretched out from the palanquin and lifted the curtain. The four of them stood still and waited in silence.
