"Yes!" Lin Hu responded.
Zhong Yangxu turned around and walked towards Shao Dengyun, who was holding his Zhanmadao with trembling hands. He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "I'm afraid their deaths have something to do with young master."
Shao Dengyun's lips tightened and he said with a trembling voice, "Did you deal with him?"
"No!" Zhong Yangxu sighed, "It is not easy to deal with him, he might have escaped!"
Not dead? Shao Dengyun suddenly turned his head as though he was in disbelief and disbelief. Although his family was under the protection of Great Zen Mountain, on the other hand, their lives were also under the control of Great Zen Mountain. If Great Zen Mountain wanted to kill them, there was basically no chance of escape!
Of course, this was only for normal people. It might be true if it was his son.
He had thought that all his sons would die in one day. He didn't expect his eldest son to still be alive!
A thread of hope burned in his eyes as he asked, "Why?"
Zhong Yangxu stared at his eyes and said slowly, "He said that Lady Ruan and her son are dead. He is Brother Shao's only son. If Great Zen Mountain kills him, it is the same as killing all of Brother Shao's descendants …" He slowly narrated the situation that Lin Hu had reported.
Shao Dengyun's eyes widened. Endless sorrow appeared in his eyes and on his face.
Before, he only had some suspicions. Now he was certain that Lady Ruan and her son had died in the hands of that unfilial son!
He regretted asking the reason. Some things were better off not knowing the answer. If he knew, he would not be able to accept it.
Clank! The trembling saber fell to the ground. Shao Dengyun actually laughed, a bitter laugh. He scoffed, "Do you know why I don't dare to give up power? Brothers killing each other, I am still alive and all of you can't wait. What sin did I commit! Bring him over, bring that bastard over! "
Zhong Yangxu turned and waved at Lin Hu, "Bring him over!"
"Yes!" Lin Hu responded and quickly turned to leave.
"All of you, scram!" Shao Dengyun suddenly exploded and shouted angrily at the people walking around in the courtyard.
Everyone jumped in fright and quickly left. The courtyard quickly regained its peace. Only he, Zhong Yangxu, and the other Great Zen Mountain disciples were left.
Shao Dengyun raised his head to look at the sky. He slowly closed his eyes and stood silently on the spot.
After waiting for a while, Shao Pingbo arrived and clamped down on both sides of Huang Dou and Lin Hu.
Shao Pingbo's expression was calm, as if nothing had happened. He was still that handsome Eldest Young Master.
Zhong Yangxu tilted his head and watched him walk over with a complicated expression.
Shao Pingbo first cupped his hands to show his respect, then walked in front of Shao Dengyun and respectfully saluted, "Father!"
Shao Dengyun remained indifferent for a while before slowly asking, "You did it?"
Shao Pingbo knowingly asked, "What do you mean, Father?"
Shao Dengyun slowly opened his eyes and stared at him. He stared at his most valued son. His eyes were filled with sorrow as he asked, "Your Second Mother and your two younger brothers, did you kill them?"
Shao Pingbo: "Niu Youdao did it." After a short pause, he added, "It was indeed done by Niu Youdao. If it wasn't for him, this wouldn't have happened."
Shao Dengyun's face twitched violently. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you kill me too?"
Shao Pingbo remained silent. He calmly looked into his father's eyes, determined and unflinching.
Shao Dengyun chuckled. "Is it because this old thing still has some value? Are you afraid that you won't be able to control the situation in Bei Zhou if you kill me? Bastard, do you remember what you promised me? You promised to let them live! "
Shao Pingbo retorted, "I will naturally fulfill my promise, Father. At most, I will put them under house arrest one day in the future! But if I die, how can I fulfill my promise? How can I let them live? They want to kill me. Dare I ask, Father, did you stop them? Can you stop them? "
Slap! A loud and clear slap!
Shao Dengyun slapped him hard on the face.
A bright red palm print appeared on Shao Pingbo's face. Shao Pingbo, whose head was tilted to the side, remained silent and did not dodge.
Slap! Shao Dengyun waved his hand and slapped him again.
Another bright red palm print appeared on the other side of his face. Shao Pingbo still stood there and did not dodge.
Shao Dengyun really wanted to kill him with a knife. But when he saw his mother's face, he thought of his wife who had already passed away. He thought of what his wife had entrusted to him before she died. Everything was still vivid in his mind, and he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife!
He grabbed his son's clothes and pulled him closer. He looked at his son's face and said with a ferocious expression, "Bastard! So what if you succeed? You will bear the stigma of killing your mother and your siblings. You will never be able to raise your head in this lifetime. What is the point of living if you drag out an ignoble existence for the rest of your life? Why don't you just die? "
Shao Pingbo, who had two palm prints on his face, calmly said, "Only the living will be able to laugh in the end, so we can't die. Instead, we have to work harder and strive for the top. The comments on the losers are different from the comments on the winners. The winners will decide the reputation of the losers. The people standing at the peak of the mountain won't be able to hear the noise at the foot of the mountain. They can only see a sea of worshippers and tens of thousands of people shouting in unison," Long live! " Long live! Long live! "
Disappointment! His eyes were filled with disappointment! Shao Dengyun looked at his son with an extremely disappointed expression. It seemed that ever since his mother passed away, this smart and lively son's personality had gradually changed. He slowly shook his head, "How did you become like this? I want to see if you can laugh in the end! "
It seemed that only today did he truly understand what kind of person his son was.
Pushing his son away, Shao Dengyun shouted, "Come!"
A few people ran over to listen to the order.
Shao Dengyun pointed at his son and gritted his teeth, "Lock him in the dungeon and wait for Great Zen Mountain's punishment!"
The subordinates looked at each other. Before they could do anything, Shao Pingbo had already turned and left, not making things difficult for them.
Shao Dengyun also turned and left. However, his shoulders were slumped and his expression was depressed. His footsteps were heavy and slow, as though he had aged a few decades in an instant.
Seeing the father and son leave, Zhong Yangxu stretched out his hand and used a spell to absorb the zhanmadao on the ground. He turned around and called a disciple over, instructing, "In the future, don't always rely on others for your food and drink. Check your own food and drink carefully!"
"Yes!" The disciple replied.
Shao Dengyun, who returned to his room, entered a quiet room that people usually wouldn't be able to enter.
There was an incense table in the room and a painting hung on the wall above. In the painting, there was a valiant man wearing battle armor, sitting on the back of a horse with a majestic aura.
Below the painting, there was a memorial tablet. On it were the words: Commander-In-Chief Yan, King Ning, Shang Jianbo's memorial tablet!
Walking to the incense table, Shao Dengyun lit a few incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner. He slowly retreated and looked at the painting. Then, he slowly knelt on the praying mat and kowtowed!
After three kowtows, his head stuck to the ground and didn't get up. His shoulders trembled and he actually started sobbing. "Retribution! Retribution! Prince, I was wrong … "
When he raised his head again, tears were flowing down his face.
Previously, he didn't even cry when his wife and son died. Now, when he faced Shang Jianbo's memorial tablet, he was filled with sorrow and cried in a mess …
In the night, Beizhou City sealed the city gates. The army searched everywhere, causing panic among the people. It was said that an assassin had infiltrated the Provincial Governor's Mansion to carry out an assassination …
Under the bright moon, a boat with a black awning slowly floated on the river.
Outside the awning, there was a small table. Lu Shengzhong, who was sitting cross-legged, opened a food box and took out the food and wine he bought on the way.
Tao Yan 'er, who was kneeling on the opposite side, wanted to reach out to help, but Lu Shengzhong raised his hand to stop her. "In the past, you have always been serving me. Now that the matter is over, let me serve you this time."
Tao Yan 'er, who had gotten up slightly, could only slowly sit back down and remain silent.
After the food and wine were served, Lu Shengzhong personally poured wine for her. Then, he raised his cup and said, "In the world, there are only the two of us. The bright moon and the great river, the beautiful scenery, the refreshing river breeze. Come, let's have a toast!"
Tao Yan 'er held the cup with both hands. After drinking, she asked tentatively, "Brother, have you finished what you wanted to do?"
Lu Shengzhong nodded and smiled. "You can say so!"
Tao Yan 'er lowered her head and said softly, "Is my life coming to an end?"
Lu Shengzhong's eyes flickered. "You think too much."
As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to her. "Your slave contract. From now on, you are free."
Tao Yan 'er took it and looked at it. Then, she quietly put it away and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"
Lu Shengzhong: "Wherever we go. Tomorrow, when the boat docks, you will find a place to go!"
Tao Yan 'er: "I don't know where to go. Take me with you."
Lu Shengzhong shook his head.
The two of them drank and chatted while enjoying the moonlight on the river.
That night, the two of them took off their clothes and tangled together under the awning. Tao Yan 'er took the initiative to offer endless tenderness.
The swaying awning stopped. After a long time, Tao Yan 'er looked at the sleeping man beside her. She gently got up and went to the stern of the boat. Then, she slowly climbed the edge of the boat and went into the water silently.
When she rose to the surface of the water to breathe, a cold light flashed under the moonlight. A long sword shot towards her, splashing water and directly piercing through her back. Her blood dyed the river water red.
Tao Yan 'er groaned and choked on her saliva. As she floated on the river surface, she saw Lu Shengzhong standing at the bow of the awning awning with his hands behind his back.
The awning awning boat floated towards them under the control of magic power.
When the boat approached, Tao Yan 'er stretched out her hand and grabbed the edge of the boat. She gasped in horror. "Save me, save me …"
Lu Shengzhong squatted in front of her and said strangely, "You can actually swim? I said I would set you free. Why did you run away? "
Tao Yan 'er shook her head in pain. Her face was full of pleading. "You refused to take me with you … I just wanted to live."
Lu Shengzhong reached out and strangled her neck. "You shouldn't have run away. I wanted to kill you, but I really couldn't bear to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken you so far away. I really haven't made the final decision. Do you believe me?"
Tao Yan 'er nodded vigorously to show that she believed him.
"No! You don't believe me! " Lu Shengzhong shook his head. He directly twisted his hand and pulled out his sword. He stood on the bow of the boat with one hand on the sword. His cheeks were taut as he steered the boat away.
