Back Off, Let Me Come

"You, are you Luan Gongyi?"

Although Luan Cheng called Luan Xin both "father" and "uncle", and the latter's identity could be guessed with his toes, he still took a chance. What if the person Luan Cheng calls is a branch of the Luan family? But when he saw Luan Xin's face clearly, the eyebrows and eyes of the young scribe from many years ago gradually overlapped with the man in front of him. His face turned extremely white, and for a moment his color was ashen.

Luan Xin narrowed his eyes and sneered: "It's rare for a noble person to still remember."

The sinister tone was mixed with a bit of contempt and ridicule, which made him feel bitter in his heart. Thinking about it, he knew that the other party was unfriendly to him. Others may not know, but he still doesn't know why he and Luan Xin are feuding?

He had Luan Gongyi's legs broken!

Even his future was almost lost in his hands.

With such deep hatred, I am afraid that only the gods in the Buddhist niches can forgive him. This knowledge made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar after just escaping from death, and his mind was buzzing. He bit his lip nervously, moistened the chapped lips, and asked, "How are you doing?"

The news here also fell into the eyes of a group of old officials of the Xin Kingdom.

Everyone looked at each other with confusion and curiosity in their eyes. It's just that they don't know the inside story of the matter yet, and they don't dare to offend anyone by speaking out rashly - although this group of people saved them, the other party's position is not clear. They can save them or kill them.

After finally escaping, who wants to die?

"From the beginning, you will come back again." Luan Xin looked at his frightened enemy with interest, and said words that shocked the enemy with his thin lips, "You did everything right back then, and you stole my qualifications and dethroned me." How can my legs be so good today? There is something you may not know yet. That Li Shisong, who worked for you in front of and behind the horse, and was so servile, has been killed by me!"

When he heard that Li He was dead, his expression became lifeless.

After all, Li He was just an accomplice under his command, and he was punished and killed, not to mention he, a great evildoer?

His lips moved uncontrollably.

Staring at Luan Xin, he asked, "Is Li He really dead?"

Perhaps Luan Gongyi was deliberately scaring himself.

Luan Xin said: "I beheaded him with my own hands."

When he heard Li He's fate, his facial nerves twitched violently, as if he was holding back and struggling for something. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Luan Zhengyi, what do you want to do today? Give you one leg? Or give you two legs? Or give you one life?"

He clenched his fists with emotion and spoke forcefully. He showed no trace of the fear he had shown before. He looked completely ready to fight, even a bit provocative. Seeing this, all the old ministers of Xin State hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him back to prevent him from seeking death.

But the other party didn't want to appreciate it at all.

He raised his hand and aimed his fire at Luan Cheng who was behind Luan Xin.

He scolded: "Who allowed you Luan family women to be shameless, coquettish in takeaways, and flirt with prostitutes, and finally turned out to be such a bastard! And you, Luan Xin, a beggar from a pariah background, dare to call yourself a scholar. It's just a loss of one of your legs. It’s already magnanimous!”

How could Luan Xin and Luan Xin endure these words?

The young and energetic Luan Cheng was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

However, he only had a prison uniform on him and his sword had been confiscated long ago. He easily pulled out Luan Xin's sword and pointed it at the opponent.

He said angrily: "You bastard, clean your mouth!"

Not only was the other party not afraid, his arrogance became even stronger, and he spat: "Luan Cheng, how dare you, an adulterer, act so arrogantly in front of me? If you have the guts, just stab me with a sword and see if the law and the world can tolerate you! Bear with me! You little beast!"

All the old ministers of the Xin Kingdom were frightened when they heard this.

Although Luan Cheng's life experience is not a secret in the industry, and the disagreement between the two is well known, but for the sake of face, no one will talk about it. After all, there are some things that are hard to expose if you don’t see them when you look down. When we meet each other on weekdays, we treat each other as nothing.

I never expected that the real owner would reveal it publicly and in front of Uncle Luan Cheng. Isn't this just asking for death?

Someone tried to smooth things over.

"Don't be angry, this kid is out of his mind and has gone crazy."

It's okay for this guy to keep his mouth shut, don't get them involved.

They were not worried that Luan Cheng would kill his brother with his own hands.

Not to mention that the two are half-brothers, the most important thing is that Luan Cheng's status is at a disadvantage. In name, he is indeed an "adult child", born of his parents' adultery outside of marriage. Even though Luan's wife never acknowledged Luan Cheng's biological father's identity, she couldn't stop the biological father's wife from shouting everywhere. Furthermore, scholars pay attention to etiquette, and if a child born out of adultery kills his eldest brother, his reputation will be ruined.

but--

Just because Luan Cheng can't take action doesn't mean that Luan Xin can't do it!

When Luan Cheng was so angry that he was about to thrust out his sword, Luan Xin raised his hand and knocked the sword out of his hand. When the sword fell to the ground, he picked up the hilt with his toes and grabbed it firmly. Luan Xin's eyes were serious: "A Cheng, step back! Where do you have the right to speak here?"

Luan Cheng was a little afraid of this uncle.

"...but uncle..."

When her mother mentioned him on weekdays, she was filled with regret and guilt. She repeatedly told Luan Cheng that if she had the chance to see Luan Xin in the future, she must be filial and obedient. Luan Cheng was usually not very sharp, he was well-behaved and docile, so he naturally took his mother's words to heart.

Luan Xin looked a little impatient: "Back off!"

Luan Cheng had no choice but to do as he was told. Luan Xin looked at the old minister of the Xin Kingdom again, his eyes full of warning: "The right and wrong between me and him must be settled clearly today. Please don't let outsiders interfere!"

Once you intervene and get accidentally injured, consider yourself unlucky.

Since the talk has been made for this reason, it is natural for outsiders not to get involved, lest it bring harm to themselves. Furthermore, they did not have a good relationship with this person and had no personal relationship with him. When the Xin Kingdom was still around, he relied on his family background to seek official positions abroad, imposed excessive taxes, flattered his superiors and bullied his subordinates. After the Xin Kingdom was destroyed, he also bullied the weak and widowed, and bullied men and women in private. However, no one dared to touch him because of his family background. That’s all.

Luan Xin stepped forward with his sword, and under the angry and provocative eyes of the other party and the gazes of Xin Guo's old ministers, he raised his foot and kicked the person back into the pit. There was a scream from the pit - the pit was dug big and deep to bury them.

Luan Xin gave orders with a sinister expression.

"Buried!"

A group of old ministers of the Xin Kingdom: "..."

Luan Xin turned to them and said: "You just pretend that he has not been rescued, just that he was buried alive in the pit a long time ago. If anyone wants to seek justice for him, just come to Luan!"

Luan Cheng looked at the big pit: "Uncle, did you really bury him?"

Luan Xin said: "If it's not really buried, is it fake?"

Originally, he wanted to behead the man, but for Luan Cheng's sake, he wanted to leave a whole body for him.

Luan Xin's intention to kill was naturally not because of the other party's insults, nor did it even have anything to do with Luan Cheng. It was simply because he remembered half of his patella that had been shaved off, his hamstrings that had been severed, and his leg meat that had been cooked by pouring boiling water on it. ! You deserve to pay with your life!

The soldiers under Shen Tang's tent are very efficient, but they won't fill it in shovel by shovel. If a brave warrior takes action, it can be done in three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes. The speed was so fast that the old ministers of Xin State were not given time to react, and the yelling and cursing below stopped abruptly.

Everyone who witnessed this subconsciously touched their necks.

If this efficiency belongs to Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses...

No matter how quickly the reinforcements arrived, they could not be saved.

As for Luan Xin’s act of burying and killing his enemies——

No matter what they think in their hearts, at least no one has any objections on the surface.

After dealing with the big hole, the uncle and nephew talked privately for a while, mainly Luan Xin comforted Luan Cheng. After all, being insulted as an "adult son" in front of others made everyone feel uncomfortable: "Those words that person scolded, you Just don’t think too much about it.”

Luan Cheng's mood was more stable than he thought.

He and his "brother" stayed in the same circle, and there were some situations that he couldn't avoid. This was the first time he was scolded like this.

only--

Luan Cheng still felt a little depressed in his heart that could not be relieved.

"...I didn't think about that, I was just a little confused...Why did Aniang find that person back then? After all, he was a married man." Even if he later recruited a cheap father, it was just a lie to outsiders. Luan Cheng and him Her biological father has a striking resemblance in appearance, and anyone who is not blind can see it, "...after all, she is just looking for someone to borrow her seed. Isn't it okay to borrow someone with a background that won't be troublesome?"

He has been holding these words in his heart for many years, but no one can talk to him, let alone let his mother know. When he met his uncle who stood up for him, he accidentally revealed it.

Luan Xin: "..."

He looked at Luan Cheng and sighed softly.

Said: "How can it be so simple?"

Luan Cheng looked at him in confusion, and Luan Xin said: "Your mother-in-law is not completely free, and her relationship with your biological father is not entirely consensual. There is still a bit of coercion in it. It's just that it's not convenient for me to reveal, some You have to swallow the loss yourself. Your biological father is powerful and insists on insisting on insisting on it. What can a weak woman do? When she learned that she was pregnant, she also hesitated to have an abortion. "

Luan Xin was still young at that time, so he could only help her stop the elders of the branch clan, but it was not enough for her to straighten her back and prevent outsiders from coveting her. Luan Xin focused on studying and practicing. The queen of Luan's family took care of her own business, so she would inevitably make things difficult when negotiating with outsiders.

Luan Cheng really didn't know that he almost wasn't born.

"What happened next?"

Luan Xin sighed softly: "Somehow, the news got out. The other party learned that your mother was pregnant, and came to visit in person... It was also after giving birth to you that I completely got rid of the other party's entanglement."

Luan Cheng didn't dare to dwell on the details.

There was just a bit of nausea in his throat, and he said angrily: "In that case - their eldest lady is still bullying people like this?"

"The world is always harsher on the weak." Etiquette is the restraint of the strong on the weak. It's just like a wife hates the flowers and plants outside her husband's body more than her husband who can't control his lower body.

Luan Cheng still didn't understand.

"But it's not like he doesn't have a son himself... Why force my mother to give birth to a... me? Asking for trouble?"

Does it sound good to have an "adult child" outside?

Unexpectedly, Luan Xin said something shocking: "Oh, there is another story behind this. Of course it is because you are his only biological son. He cannot take you away from the Luan family, so he can only force your mother to give birth to you. This Your biological father said it himself when he came to visit you."

Luan Cheng: "...What about him?"

He pointed to the large hole that had been filled in.

Luan Xin said: "Many women from aristocratic families have one or two beautiful confidants before marriage. Your biological father still has some health problems, which makes it difficult for the woman to get pregnant. The man at the bottom of the trap is not suitable for Shi... but in order to conceal the hidden illness, he did not reveal it. . Regardless of whether he is a biological son or not, if it is listed in the family tree, it is nominally a father-son relationship."

Sometimes nominal relationships are almost the same as blood relationships.

Luan Cheng pointed at himself: "That may not be me either!"

His mother-in-law’s confidant has at least one hand!

"I guess I want to take a chance. Anyway, after you are born and your eyebrows grow a little, there will be no rumors that he has hidden diseases, so you can keep your reputation." Wanting a child is fake, but wanting face is real. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed the main wife to yell about that stuff everywhere.

Luan Cheng was so angry when he heard this: "Shameless, hateful!"

Luan Xin said: "Ignore it."

The situation today is different from that then.

The high-ranking dignitaries could not maintain any dignity in the face of the turmoil of war. It's better that they don't get into his own hands. If they seek death, Luan Xin won't mind giving them a ride.

When he saw Luan Cheng, he reminded Luan Xin.

He wanted to borrow someone from Chu Yao to pick up the eldest sister Luan.

"Although the Luan family also has some servants and guards, money and silk are so attractive that there is no guarantee that they will not develop evil intentions along the way."

Chu Yao said: "Your worries are not unreasonable."

After all, this is how the disciple Lin Feng's family suffered.

It would be safer to send someone to meet you.

but--

Chu Yao asked, "Young Yi has no feelings for the Luan family anymore?"

Luan Xin smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to repay kindness."

The culprit back then was not his adopted sister. He left with a cold heart, more because he saw his identity clearly. If you still feel uncomfortable, just don't move between the two families in the future. Compared with his little knot of heart, the other person's life is naturally more important.

After Luan Xin left, Gu Chi poked his head around.

Gu Chi said: "When did I poke my head in?"

Chu Yao laughed and said, "You will know when you look at the tide."

He didn't understand the relationship between the two - Gu Chi always stared at Luan Xin, and was tit-for-tat publicly and privately, but sometimes he was very caring. I really didn't know what Gu Chi was up to.

Gu Chi said: "Keep an eye on him to prevent him from causing trouble."

Chu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and set up his voice to prevent others from eavesdropping. He said with a serious look: "Justice and love, the Lord's kindness to him is as deep as the sea. How can there be chaos? Watch the tide and be careful what you say."

Gu Chi: "It's because of his love that I have to stare at him."

Gratitude also has a first-come, first-served nature.

Even if the possibility of Luan Xin betraying him was slim, and even if his chances of self-harm were higher than causing chaos, he still had to keep an eye on him. Maybe one day I can save Luan Xin who committed suicide.

Chu Yao: "..."

After they rescued the old ministers of the Xin State, they began to plan the next step. The situation in Qianzhou was dangerous, and they would be involved in a chaotic war if they were not careful. The position of the national seal is too easy to reveal.

Even if they don't have the intention to rob, they can't prevent others from having this intention, nor can they prevent the other party from speculating on their own side. They have only two choices - either avoid carefully and stay away from the melee, or join the fight and defeat their opponents.

Coincidentally, Kang Shi was also worried about this matter.

"I just don't know when the lord will return..."

The two groups of people need to meet up as soon as possible to be safe.

Gong Xiqiu crossed his hands on his chest and said: "Instead of worrying about Mama, you should worry about yourselves. Mama's side has stronger troops. Who can't get away? Can you do it? Such a small manpower is not enough for everyone. Twice.”

"Escape when you have to before they react. We are gentlemen and it is never too late to take revenge for ten years. Over there, we are villains and we take revenge from morning to night." According to Gong Xichou's meaning, if you can escape, run away as soon as possible. If it's later, you can escape if you want--

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Shi tightened the reins suddenly, his expression distorted.

Gong Xiqiu curled his lips: "Whatever you say."

(へ╬)

I had just finished taking a shower and was getting ready to go to bed. I was reading book reviews and found a big bug. Gong Xiqiu is on Ji Shou's side. In order not to change the ending too much, I added some details and twisted it around (Kang Shi was quite unlucky anyway, and it was normal to encounter enemies. Wu Hui went to move the granary along the way).
