Peony Overlord [Rebirth]
Chapter 93
Liu Tainiu is very strong, and he is mending the door with hemp rope. Xue Man is not good at these rough jobs, but because of face, he asks Cheng Jie to help.
Liu Tainiu was exerting strength, and found that the pressure on his body was much lighter. Turning around, Cheng Jie was helping him share it with a smile.
"No brother, I can do it alone." Liu Tainiu grinned at him, and just wanted to use all his strength, but Cheng Jie behind him refused.
"It's okay, I'll help you, it's hard for you to be here alone." Cheng Jie said.
Liu Tainiu glanced at Xue Man at the side, found something, and whispered to Cheng Jie: "Brother, Patriarch Xue asked you to come, hehe, you are the most hardworking person I have ever seen."
Cheng Jie smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said: "He is my master, so I naturally want to listen to him."
Liu Tainiu said: "That's why you can stand Patriarch Xue's arrogant temper."
Cheng Jie lowered his eyes, couldn't see the look in his eyes clearly, and paused for a while before saying: "The former Patriarch left in a hurry, leaving only the master, and I'm the only one around him, I have to make him happy."
Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Liu Tainiu immediately comforted him and changed the subject: "Patriarch Xue has managed Langya very well, come on, come on, make up for this point and that's it!"
They worked hard for most of the morning, and when the mending was finished, it was already noon when Xing Yanhong's descendant called them to have dinner.
Liu Tainiu went excitedly, wanting to admit his mistake to Chu Xinle, but he came too late.
But when he went into the room and looked left and right, he didn't see the figure of the city lord. The others had already taken their seats, and Xing Yanhong sat aside, leaving the middle seat vacant.
After the three of them were also seated, the food was served. It was just after the war, and there was nothing to eat. They were all home-cooked dishes, but they were still delicious.
Xing Yanhong started to move his chopsticks, and the rest of the people picked up their chopsticks one after another, but Liu Tainiu and Xue Man did not see Chu Xinle appear, and the atmosphere in the banquet was unexpectedly oppressive and dignified.
Liu Tainiu thought that his reinforcements came late, and that his master was weak but had to go into battle with illness, so he collapsed on the couch and couldn't get up to eat. He couldn't eat, but Xing Yanhong didn't seem to want to hold him accountable, but he felt very sorry!
With a heartbeat, he put down his chopsticks, got up and knelt down on one knee, attracting everyone to look at him.
"Master Xing, it's all the fault of his subordinates. As the general of the Qinchuan garrison, his subordinates failed to come in time when the master was in trouble, causing the master to be bedridden. Please punish the third master Xing!" Liu Tainiu Every word was spoken forcefully.
Xing Qingzhang next to Yun Jiming was taken aback when he heard that, he could indeed feel that Chu Xinle was not there, but he was embarrassed to ask, but what shocked him most at the moment was that his third younger brother was actually there, but he never found out.
Hearing this, Xing Yanhong put down his chopsticks, and the people around him also stopped eating.
"Then how do you think I should punish you?" Xing Yanhong's voice was low and deep, without any emotion, but it made the surroundings a little bit colder.
"I—" Liu Tainiu raised his head suddenly, and found that he couldn't catch up with the words, then lowered his head again, and said sadly: "Let the third son deal with it!"
Xing Yanhong exhaled and said, "You are guilty, of course I will punish you."
Everyone's hearts tightened, Chen Fan was about to speak when he heard Xing Yanhong say: "But you have merit, so I won't deal with you for now."
"Successful?" Liu Tainiu didn't respond.
Could it be that his reinforcements came in time?
Xing Yanhong smiled and said: "Of course you have merit, you brought us the wild wolf of the Central Plains."
When everyone heard it, they gasped again.
"Do you think so, Cheng Jie?" Xing Yanhong changed his words after speaking: "You should be called Xue Chengjie."
Everyone present was startled, they looked at Cheng Jie who bowed his head and said nothing in unison.
Cheng Jie seemed to be fully exposed to the butcher's knife as if the lamb to be slaughtered was completely exposed to the butcher's knife. He was about to speak when his wrist was held down. Xue Man spoke first: "Mr. He stayed by my side, we grew up together, how could I not know him? How could he be a wolf of the Central Plains?"
"It is precisely because we grew up together that he can handle you with ease, and you have already fixed your thinking towards him." Xing Yanhong said with no expression on his face, "Just like Yi An and you."
"You're talking nonsense—" before Xue Man finished speaking, he felt Cheng Jie pull his hand out, Xue Man shut up and looked at him, but Cheng Jie didn't say a word.
"you......"
The enthusiasm just now was diluted by the silence, Xue Man stared at him in disbelief, the pile of words he wanted to say was firmly blocked in his throat like a hard stone, if he couldn't get up or down, he was about to suffocate.
"I guess, the things in the Central Plains are what you shipped to the barbarians, and those wild wolves lurking in the Central Plains must also obey your orders." Xing Yanhong has been fighting day and night for several days, and he is exhausted. And Chu Xinle's disappearance put heavy pressure on him, he didn't have the heart to spend it here at all, Chu Xinle wants Yun Jiming to tell him these things, then he is going to win the good name of uncovering the undercover agent , but this is not what he wants, the most important thing for him is to find Chu Xinle.
After a long period of silence, Cheng Jie suddenly laughed, he laughed so openly that there was no sign of arguing, when he finished laughing, he nodded and said, "That's right, it's me."
"You take advantage of your position in Xue's family and Xue Man's trust in you to advise him. After forming an alliance with Yi'an, you will be able to find out the secrets of Fengtian, including food and military strength." Xing Yanhong's voice became deeper and deeper, almost Almost nothing, but the cold tone did not change: "It's more than that, your calculation."
"Naturally." Cheng Jie glanced at Xue Man, who was steaming with anger, his eyes flicked from everyone one by one, and finally fixed on Xing Yanhong, and said, "Do you want me to tell you everything?"
Before Xing Yanhong could answer, Cheng Jie said to himself: "I was the one who let Chen Kuangming let people in, and Nala gave me the right. All the wild wolves in the Central Plains must obey me. The information passed on to Nala, including that you were trapped in Runan, is the best time to attack Jiuyuan, there are too many, I can’t even remember.”
"You—" Xue Man's voice trembled, "Why did you do that!"
"Why did you do that?" Cheng Jie asked back with a smile, his eyes were scarlet: "Xue Man, my surname is also Xue, that old bastard Xue Chengji wanted my mother, and because my mother was just a dishwashing maid, he kicked her out of the mansion, My mother already had me at that time! It was because of Xue Chengji that my mother was unmarried and had a child, so she couldn't even return home, leaving me, and finally told me all the things when I was six years old, and left with a whole body of illness!"
Cheng Jie roared loudly, and the light of the oil lamp shone on his hideous face, he said intermittently: "What do you think I am planning to go back to Xue's residence? I want Xue Chengji's life!" Cheng Jie was a little crazy: "I am not willing to just A Langya is too small, Nala promised to give me half of the Central Plains."
Xue Man seemed to grasp something, and said, "That night, Chu Xinle was in my father's room..."
Cheng Jie sneered: "It was me, I planted the poison, I also shot the arrow through the window, you, Xue Man, I also told you to go there."
"You already knew that my father killed the whole family of the Chu family, didn't you..." Xue Man lowered his eyes, unable to see his expression clearly.
"Why is he?" Cheng Jie said with a gloomy face, "You have known each other not long ago, why should he be treated like that by you, I have been with you for nearly 20 years, Xue Man, you have no heart." Cheng Jie said this again Laughing: "I'm annoying him, so I asked the wolf to find out where he came from? I don't blame him if Xue Chengji couldn't find out. This person really hides very deep, even if the wolf went to find out, it was a waste of effort. "
"So you already knew he was Chu Xinle." Xing Yanhong said.
"Not all." Cheng Jie sighed: "He did come from the Chu family, but he is not Chu Xinle, Xing Yanhong, you have been deceived by him all the time."
"What the hell are you talking about!" Chenfan couldn't hold back his breath, and was about to get up when Yun Jiming pushed him down.
"I didn't realize it at the time. I just found out not long ago. He should have died a long time ago. He is a remnant!" Cheng Jie stood up abruptly, slapped the table and shouted, "The whole family of the Chu family died in that sea of fire back then. , no one survived, and the number of people was just right, so how could he escape from the sea of fire, Chu Tianling has been hiding him in the Chu Mansion!"
Xing Yanhong clenched his fists calmly, tried to calm his voice, and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Who is it?" Cheng Jie shook his head and said, "The Akelu tribe, a branch of the barbarians, was completely destroyed in the battle ten years ago to resist the barbarian invasion. That was the worst blow to the barbarians at that time. There are no heirs on Xunfang Road, but it is not the case, Chu Tianling secretly visited Xunjia before the war started."
Everyone was stunned by Cheng Jie's words, even Xing Yanhong couldn't recover for a long time.
In fact, Xunfanglu didn't believe that Zhongyuan could fully trust him from the beginning to the end, so he left a way out for himself. He hid his only son and spent his entire Xunjia life to prove his loyalty to Zhongyuan. I was wrong, because Fengtian opened the gate by himself, which led to the invasion of the barbarians and the bullying of the Central Plains. Even if Xunfanglu changed his mind and resisted desperately later, he still could not erase his stain in the Central Plains.
No one will think about what you did right, they would rather remember what you did wrong.
Until now, when mentioning Fengtian’s search for a home, the people still grit their teeth and spit, saying viciously: “If they hadn’t opened the city gate back then, how could such a tragedy have happened!”
Xing Yanhong clenched his fists tightly, his bones cracked, he realized more and more what Chu Xinle was going to do, but he still asked unwillingly: "So who was the person who opened the city gate, fell into Fengtian, and the whole Central Plains in hell? "
"Xunfanglu's younger brother, you can call him by his current name, Amuge."
"!" Xing Yanhong immediately stood up.
Amuge is Nala's most admired person except Huth's grandson. If Huth is Nala's left arm, then Amuge is Nala's right arm. His cruelty is incomparable to Huth's. In the past few days, he went deep into the barbarians, and Xing Yanhong had fought against him before, he was a man who didn't follow the rules.
A burst of cold invaded Xing Yanhong's body, Chu Xinle wanted his life!
"Come on, push him into the dungeon!" Xing Yanhong had just finished speaking when Cheng Jie vomited blood.
Everyone got up immediately, Xue Man reached out to catch the fallen Cheng Jie.
Chen Fan checked Cheng Jie's bowls and chopsticks, and immediately said, "There is poison on his chopsticks!"
"!" Everyone was shocked.
Qian Yi quickly checked everyone's bowls and chopsticks, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "He's the only one."
Xue Man didn't know how to react after hearing this, the anger just now was choked in his throat, just like that stone, choking his nose sore.
"You..." Xue Man choked with sobs when he opened his mouth, and he simply kept silent.
Cheng Jie smiled weakly: "I don't want...don't want to do this again...Xue...Xue Man...I... .....I never...never thought...to...harm you..."
"How did you transport the things from the Central Plains?" Xing Yanhong asked immediately.
"Cloud...shop..."
When he closed his eyes, he still looked at Xue Man reluctantly.
No one knows why he chose to tell the truth at this time.
But he never thought of killing Xue Man, he had been living in his own home, but he couldn't use his surname, and he couldn't recognize his brother even though he was right in front of him.
He kept telling himself to take good care of this younger brother, that he could betray everyone and the entire Central Plains, he could even kill Xue Chengji, but before he died, he would carefully explain this sentence to Xue Man, that he Selfish, Cheng Jie wants Xue Man, hate him a little less.
Liu Tainiu was exerting strength, and found that the pressure on his body was much lighter. Turning around, Cheng Jie was helping him share it with a smile.
"No brother, I can do it alone." Liu Tainiu grinned at him, and just wanted to use all his strength, but Cheng Jie behind him refused.
"It's okay, I'll help you, it's hard for you to be here alone." Cheng Jie said.
Liu Tainiu glanced at Xue Man at the side, found something, and whispered to Cheng Jie: "Brother, Patriarch Xue asked you to come, hehe, you are the most hardworking person I have ever seen."
Cheng Jie smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said: "He is my master, so I naturally want to listen to him."
Liu Tainiu said: "That's why you can stand Patriarch Xue's arrogant temper."
Cheng Jie lowered his eyes, couldn't see the look in his eyes clearly, and paused for a while before saying: "The former Patriarch left in a hurry, leaving only the master, and I'm the only one around him, I have to make him happy."
