When Yi Hongfei was lining up to enter, he happened to see Hong Dong walking by in a daze and quickly followed him.
The fat aunt looked at the two people walking away, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously. The more she looked, the more they looked alike. Could it really be him? Yi Hongfei didn't ask any questions and just walked beside Hong Dong silently, accompanying him from Luoyan Bend to the seaside.
Sang Miao and the others were still a little distraught at first, holding their necks as if they were dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water. Wen Yunxi also let them dry for two days. Just when they thought Wen Yunxi did not dare to do anything to them, They were taken to the execution chamber, where one of the officials was tied to the torture rack, and the others were forced to watch the execution.
They are very familiar with this. Not only have they watched the execution process for a long time, but they have even done it themselves many times. No matter how brave the person is, they can't survive one round in their hands. Now the roles have been reversed, and the person who used to execute him is tied to the execution rack. On the other hand, the man who had been tortured until he was half breathless just a few days ago became the executioner.
The man was so frightened that he peed his pants as soon as he was tied up. Even though he cried bitterly and regretted his actions, the executioner did not hesitate for a moment. In just a quarter of an hour, Sang Miao and others who were forced to watch the execution were made to soften their bones and cry out. To explain things.
Wen Yunxi did not give them a chance to regret, and let them take turns to "enjoy" the set of torture instruments for a quarter of an hour. From then on, they knew everything they wanted to say.
As soon as Hong Dong and Elder Shi asked, Sang Miao and the others kept talking like they were pouring beans, for fear that they would be tied to the rack again if they said too little.
They used to laugh at other people's soft bones, but when the knife fell on them, they realized how painful it was and how soft their own bones were. The happiness they had built on the pain of others in the past had all turned into pain, but they no longer regretted it. Opportunity.
"Hongfei, do you think people can change?" There was a rare confusion in Hong Dong's tone. He didn't know whether Sang Fu was like this before, or whether he was corrupted by power because he became the clan leader and the Lanzhou Xuanfu envoy. Becoming an evil ghost in human skin? "Brother Dong, of course people will change over time. Everything we have experienced affects us, but human nature will not change. Some people are born evil ghosts. They were 20 years ago and they are now."
Yi Hongfei still remembered that war. Not only was he ambushed at every turn, but the clan leader suddenly took off his sword for some reason and was beheaded by the enemy on the spot. What was even weirder was that they seemed to know the location of the three princes, and the princes were killed. Or he was captured and finally redeemed the third prince Hong Dong, but he was tortured into a useless person.
Without the clan leader and the prince, Sang Fu, the nephew, naturally became the clan leader, leading them to successive victories and driving the invaders directly out of Lanzhou.
Yi Hongfei noticed something unusual at that time, but no one believed her. Even her two brothers warned her not to mention it again. She could only suppress her doubts in her heart until she saw it with her own eyes on the street that day. Wen Yunxi conjured a magic medicine out of thin air, and she was able to bring out the things that had been buried for 20 years.
Hong Dong continued to remain silent. Even though he had seen and heard it with his own eyes and ears, he still felt it was too ridiculous. The cousin who once had a warm smile was probably the murderer who killed his father and brother 20 years ago.
Yi Hongfei waited for a while and saw that Hong Dong was still silent, so he asked first: "Brother Dong, are you willing to help now?"
Hong Dong did not hesitate this time and nodded: "There are many of my old troops in the southeastern garrison. There is no problem in delaying it for ten days."
"Brother Dong, after Master removed Sang Fu from the position of clan leader, he still needs a Zhanyue clan member to take over. Do you want to be the leader?" Yi Hongfei asked very directly. She wanted to know if Hong Dong would do anything after learning the truth. change one's mind.
Hong Dong raised his hand and touched the missing part, shook his head and said: "I don't want to be a person, and I'm not suitable to be one." He once resolutely replied to his father. Now, although he felt a little helpless, his attitude was still firm. He didn't want to be. Being imprisoned in the position of clan leader, he also knew that he did not have the ability to lead the development of his clan.
"When this is over, I want to go to sea and have a look. I heard that if you go all the way to the west, you can reach the end of the sky. I also want to go and see it."
Yi Hongfei got a satisfactory answer and completely let go of the stone in his heart, "This is good. We don't have to compete for the position of clan leader. Of course, even if we compete for that position, you are still my brother. As for your going to sea, I can ask you Master, help."
Hong Dong only noticed Yi Hong's words "fighting for the position of clan leader". He looked over in surprise, "You want to be the clan leader?"
He knew that Yi Hongfei had been big-minded since she was a child, but he never expected that she would even dare to think about the position of clan leader.
Yi Hongfei's smile faded and he said seriously: "I have been learning from my father since I was a child. I can not only go to the battlefield to kill enemies, but also know how to balance and restrict. After the Sangfu forces are eliminated, Lanzhou will be controlled by my master, and I will Master's No. 20 three disciples, if they become clan leaders, they will be more beneficial to the clan both publicly and privately."
Even though Wen Yunxi will not deliberately take sides, the Shuiyi tribe does have the upper hand. If a idiot becomes the leader of the tribe, the Zhanyue tribe is likely to fall behind in development. Let alone being unable to compare with the Shuiyi tribe, I'm afraid Even the four northern tribes may cross them.
"Well, it seems like it's good for you to be the clan leader, so do your best." In the past, he might have had a different view, but after experiencing ups and downs, he has understood that the so-called blood inheritance is not important, what is important is ability and conduct.
Just as Yi Hongfei said, if Wen Yunxi wins Sang Fu this time, then she will replace Sang Fu and become the actual person in power in Lanzhou. Yi Hongfei is both a hero and Wen Yunxi's trusted disciple. Only when you become the new leader of the Zhanyue Clan can you get back on your feet as quickly as possible.
When the two returned to the Lixi tribe, it was already noon, and the smell of the food filled their nostrils, making the two people who had had enough of the sea breeze swallow subconsciously.
"Hey, where have you been? Why are you back? What are you doing standing around? Come and line up for food!"
After Aunt Shanhua saw the situation in Qinyan Pavilion, she thought she would be so angry that she couldn't eat. She didn't expect that the food cooked by the Shuiyi people would be so fragrant. She was aroused by the smell of the food, and no matter how angry she was, she was driven away by the gluttons. .
Yi Hongfei and Hong Dong looked at each other and walked to the back of the line to join the queue.
"Hey, that young man, yes, it's you. Come here and wash your hands first, and then go over there to get the dinner plate." Mr. Niu stood guard next to the five large buckets and shouted angrily.
On the day of the free clinic, they received two copper coins for working here. Even though Shi Yan said they didn't need help the next day, they shamelessly asked again. The new manager probably saw them as pitiful and hired them again for the first two days. There was very little work, so they just helped wash clothes and clean up debris. It was not until people came to see Qinyan Pavilion one after another that their work became more. Accordingly, some people were given a double salary increase, and he also Become a team leader and be responsible for monitoring work progress. (End of chapter)
