Tang Yuancheng could not bear to see tears. When he was young, he was lazy in his studies and Grandma Tang could not discipline him. She sat on the edge of the bed with her hair disheveled, pounding her chest and stamping her feet as she wailed, "My poor son, why did you die so early? Leaving behind this little scourge, he did not make me feel at ease at all. He's going to cost me my old life! I don't want to live anymore. Why don't you come and take me with you? I'd rather lie in the grave with you and my daughter-in-law early than watch him be useless and squander away all our wealth. I'll never have the face to see your father again! " She wiped her tears and said, "Yuancheng, if you don't want to study, our Tang family can't count on you to bring glory to our family … In the future, whether you're good or bad, I won't care about you anymore. Everything will depend on your luck. After I die, remember to bury me closer to your father and mother. Let the three of us be buried underground … so that we can have company. "
Tang Yuancheng was a filial son. Every time this happened, he would rather his grandmother harshly reprimand him than make his grandmother so sad because of his failure to live up to expectations. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, admitting his mistake, and promised with tears in his eyes that he would work hard. After that, this trick became Grandma Tang's magic weapon to discipline Yuancheng. It worked every time.
As for his weakness, it was that he was too emotional. When he saw Chu Menglin sobbing like Grandma Tang in the past, he did not care that she was a girl and did not care about the grudge between them. He clumsily wiped her tears with his sleeve and comforted her clumsily, "Hey, you … don't cry. I can't bear to see people cry the most in my life. Hey, okay, okay, I recognize you. You were with Yuner and even scolded my master … Why do you have to do this? You're very beautiful in women's clothes. Why do you want to be a man? "
Chu Menglin sniffed and said faintly, "Because I broke with my father and ran away from home. Now he's leading people to search for me. If he catches me, he'll kill me. At the same time, I am a wanted criminal of the Imperial Court. Could it be that I have no choice but to submit to fate and wait for my death? "
Tang Yuancheng scratched his head. Although Chu Menglin's narration was tragic, in his opinion, it was still mostly exaggerated. His expression was extremely suspicious as he said, "That's impossible, right? Even an upright official would find it difficult to resolve a family dispute. How could the imperial court be so unreasonable as to kill you just because you quarreled with your family? But you are also in the wrong. There are no parents in this world. When I was young, Father would get angry and hit me with a broom. He hit me until I was black and blue all over. At that time, I didn't know any better. Just like you, I was blindly resentful. I wanted to run away from home and never forgive him again. But when I grow up, I'll understand that he's just looking out for me. As for your father wanting to kill you, he must be thinking too much. Go back and admit your mistake, apologize, say a few soft words, and pretend that this conflict never happened. Which father would be so heartless as to kill his own flesh and blood? "
Chu Menglin angrily said, "You don't understand the situation, don't blindly give me advice! These two are fundamentally different. My Father … how can he be compared to the benevolent-looking, gentle and honest Father in your impression? " Tang Yuancheng said, "They both have two eyes and one mouth, two arms and two legs. What's the difference? If there is a difference, it is the difference caused by the children themselves. Actually, to be honest, I should be the one envious of you. Even if I want to hear my Father scold me now, it's impossible. You should be glad that you have a father who cares so much about you. "
Chu Menglin angrily said, "How about I switch places with you? Humph, he doesn't care about me at all. He's just angry that I ruined his plan. He doesn't treat me well, but he treats the little bastard he picked up well. " Tang Yuancheng said, "Since he can raise a child he picked up, he must have put in a lot of effort, so he must be a great Samaritan! You have such a strong personality, it must be you who caused trouble. When the family is harmonious, everything will be prosperous. How can there be overnight enmity between father and daughter? Buddha says, everything has karma. You reap what you sow. Today, I will do a good deed and persuade you to go home! "
Chu Menglin put his palms together and repeatedly cupped his hands. His forehead hit his thumb, showing an extremely miserable appearance. He begged for mercy and said, "Great Young Master Tang, if you really want to do a good deed, then don't bother about me anymore. Saving a life is better than building a seven-floor pagoda! Also, when you see Shen Shiyun, just ask her about her well-being and talk about some trivial things. Don't ever mention me, and don't ever mention that you've seen me. Even if you've helped me a lot, I'll be eternally grateful to you and pray for you at all times. Otherwise, once she finds out about my whereabouts, you'll indirectly kill me. What kind of sin is harming someone's life? Think about it carefully. "
Tang Yuancheng said, "You're always paranoid, thinking that everyone has bad intentions toward you. I remember your relationship with Yun 'er was very good, wasn't it? "
Chu Menglin was distraught. He said, "You won't understand even if I explain it to you." But if he wanted to explain the whole story of the enmity, it would inevitably involve the past, so it was not reasonable. Tang Yuancheng's infatuation with Shen Shiyun was not inferior to Li Yijie. If he knew that he killed his sweetheart's entire family, even a rabbit will bite when it's anxious. Perhaps he would pounce on him and strangle him to death on the spot. After thinking about it, he still avoided the important point and dwelled on the trivial. He said, "Women are always jealous. If she misunderstands that I have … an improper relationship with you, I think you don't want to see that, do you? You see, I know how to be tactful, I won't disturb you. " He turned around and was about to leave when Tang Yuancheng called out, "Wait a moment, Da … Miss Chu, where can I find you later?" Realizing the meaning of his words was unclear, he blushed and explained, "You know, if you owe money and don't pay it back … the first crime is greed, the second crime is breaking a promise …"
With a bitter laugh Chu Menglin said, "You are always so stubborn … remember that I am a pitiful person who nearly lost my life in order to help you achieve your goal of becoming a sage. Ay, no matter what the result is, I will still be here waiting for you. But if you are really going to pass the imperial examination, you must not turn your back on me and think that you are the new Zhuangyuan, and put on your stinky airs in front of me. "Tang Yuancheng said," Despising the poor and favoring the rich has never been my style … "
Chu Menglin resolutely said, "That's good." With a backhand he pulled his sword and fiercely slashed toward Tang Yuancheng's neck. Tang Yuancheng was greatly alarmed, but before he had time to stop, his vision blurred, pieces of hair flew into the air. It was Chu Menglin deliberately showing off, when he chopped down his sword he secretly circulated his internal energy, causing the shaved hair to fly into the air, and then like rootless withered leaves fluttering down, covering the floor in a thick layer, completely covering the two men's feet. Looking at Chu Menglin's hair, which only reached his ears, Tang Yuancheng smiled faintly and said, "From now on, the old me is already dead. I have paid off my father's debt, and no longer owe him anything." Although he was still smiling, his smile was full of unconcealable bitterness.
He had just put his hand on the door latch when suddenly he heard a commotion downstairs, followed by the sound of sabers and swords colliding, tables and chairs being overturned. Tang Yuancheng rushed to the corner of the room, bent his knuckles and gently knocked on the wall. "Old Uncle, Old Uncle," he called out, "What happened?"
Chu Menglin was about to laugh at his stupidity, but unexpectedly an old voice from the room next door replied, "It is said that the new Alliance Leader of the Heroes Assembly, Li Shaoxia, led his disciples to pursue and annihilate the officers and soldiers. The enemy fought and retreated until they were defeated and retreated to the Capital. Until now, they have suffered a big defeat, their Alliance Leader has killed them so that not a single one of their armor is left. Only their leader is fighting desperately and stubbornly. Looking at the situation, he won't be able to hold on much longer. "Chu Menglin clenched his fist and heavily struck the hollow of his palm." Delightful! "he praised.
The old man continued, "Tang Xianzhi, don't blame the old man for being long-winded. You are the future pillar of our country, you are a talented person who will achieve great merit and establish great undertaking. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, don't be greedy and watch the excitement. Your companion is impatient …" Chu Menglin raised his voice and called out, "Who is talking nonsense? Don't talk behind people's back, don't you understand? "
Tang Yuancheng said, "You can't talk to Laobo like that. Mister is also a Jinshi. He has studied all his life, but all along he did not receive the Emperor's appreciation, he did not become the Zhuangyuan. But he has seen more of the world than we do, he has rich experience, we should follow his advice. "
With a cold laugh Chu Menglin said, "His advice is his' Tang Xianzhi ', a gentleman should not listen to indecent things. Naturally it goes in one ear and out the other. If there is a lively place, how can I not be there? But you don't know martial art, just listen to the old man's advice and hide in the room and don't move. Besides, the one downstairs is an old acquaintance of mine. Confucius said, 'Friends come from afar, isn't it a delight?' How can I hide? "
Usually it was Tang Yuancheng who was most fond of quoting the old saying, but this time his feet had changed, he could not help but was startled, but he still pulled Chu Menglin with all his might and said, "You can't go out, I won't let you go out!" Chu Menglin laughed and said, "Little lecher, you want to leave me, a man and a woman alone in a room, what is your intention?" Her fingernail lightly scratched Tang Yuancheng's wrist, both his body and mind went limp and numb. She let go of his hand. Chu Menglin turned around and walked out of the room.
Tang Yuancheng still wanted to pursue, but he thought that even if he went, he would not be able to help. If he distracted her by protecting him, it would be a bad thing. He thought, "A good person is called Heaven helps the worthy, a bad person is called … that person who will go down in infamy for ten thousand years. In short, nothing will happen to him." He picked up his handkerchief and stroked a leaf lovingly.
Chu Menglin quietly and quietly went downstairs. He saw a group of disciples in different attire standing motionlessly on both sides of the hall with their hands on their swords. Presumably they had received strict orders not to help. There were many passers-by who were watching the show, pointing and discussing animatedly. The innkeeper and the waiter were huddled in a corner of the cabinet, shivering. The floor was littered with corpses, most of them were officers and soldiers wearing yellow magua.
The two men were engaged in a fierce battle. Li Yijie's long sword danced in a circle, like moving clouds and flowing water, his sword momentum was like a rainbow, his stances were based on the foundation of Mount Hua. His internal energy was the culmination of Wudang Pai's and Sacrifice Shadow Cult's internal energy. Actually, the internal energy of these two sects was very profound, each had its own subtle points. It's just that Wudang Pai enjoyed a good reputation all year round, while Sacrifice Shadow Cult was considered a heretical sect and was often reprimanded. His internal energy was attached to his sword, even his sword aura seemed to become a sharp weapon that could injure people. Layer upon layer of light enveloped his opponent's hand, somewhat similar to An Yesun's proud martial art.
After observing for a short while, he saw that the essence of his sword was superior to that of the three sects. The situation was obviously 'one-sided'. On the other side, Hu Wei only had a single saber. He was in dire straits, his body was covered in wounds, his face was splattered with blood. Clenching his teeth, he purposely showed an opening. He raised his right arm high and opened the door under his ribs. However, he underestimated the speed of Li Yijie's attack. Li Yijie's swift sword thrust forward like a thunderbolt. Suddenly, the sword drew an arc and chopped his right arm. Instantly, his sleeve was torn and blood spurted out. The broadsword fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
Hu Wei raised his head and glared angrily at Li Yijie. He tore his sleeve to wrap his wound. Li Yijie did not give him any chance to breathe, his sword pierced forward again. Hu Wei's left foot slowly moved behind his right foot, he took a step back and blended into the crowd. Suddenly he picked up two men and threw them toward Li Yijie. Li Yijie was very proficient with the sword, his sword moved according to his thoughts. He only needed to shift the direction of his sword slightly and it passed through the gap between the two men's bodies, nailing them to the ground. The two men did not know any martial art. Seeing the bright sword tip coming toward them, they were so scared that they cried out 'wah, wah, wah', thinking that they were going to be stabbed to death. They were so scared that they fainted. This delay allowed Hu Wei to escape.
