Meng Xiuyuan and Yang Yunsu were not prepared for the sudden meeting.
Meng Xiuyuan looked at Miss Yang, whom he had not seen for ten years, with some surprise, and felt that her eyes were a little dodgey, as if she was avoiding him for some reason.
But when Ji Fei saw this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Mr. Meng, you actually have a friendship with this...Nvxia Yang, that's great.
It is better for us to resolve the misunderstanding in a gentle manner than to use a knife or a gun."
After saying this, Ji Fei diligently brought a stool from the side and motioned for Yang Yunsu to sit down and chat slowly.
But Miss Yang didn't give him a good look at all. She slightly swung her sleeves and a strong wind hit her, pushing Na Ji Fei back several steps and almost falling to the ground.
For Meng Xiuyuan's sake, Miss Yang did not take action, but just snorted and turned away, silent, as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing such a situation, Ji Fei did not dare to speak without permission, swallowed his saliva in fear and returned to Meng Xiuyuan.
For a moment, the room fell into silence, and the atmosphere solidified in the air.
Meng Xiuyuan saw that Miss Yang was behaving so strangely, and wondered whether there was something hidden in it or whether her temperament had changed in the past ten years.
Therefore, in order to ease the atmosphere, Meng Xiuyuan had to ask Ji Fei first:
"Ji Fei, tell me honestly, what kind of evil things have you done?
Are you just trying to enjoy yourself, plundering property, and intruding on innocent people?"
Meng Xiuyuan thought to himself that Miss Yang was an upright person. If Ji Fei had not done something unforgivable, she would not be so excited and want to kill someone with a sword.
Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of the banquet last night when he first met Ji Fei, thinking that perhaps he had finally risen to prominence, so he continued to use his power to oppress the people and plunder property for his own enjoyment.
When Ji Fei heard this, his big dark face looked very aggrieved. He quickly shook his head like a rattle and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Shaoxia, how can such a thing happen? Please don't accuse me unjustly.
Since we parted ways with you, I have sacrificed my life on the battlefield and managed to reach this stage with great difficulty. I have gained the reputation of a general and am now making the members of the Ming Cult jealous.
Under such circumstances, how could I dare to commit such a taboo and leave others with nothing to say?
I dare to swear that I have never disturbed ordinary people in these years, and I have some wealth that I gradually accumulated by killing Tatar officials and the rich and evil people who worked for the Tatars..."
Having said this, Ji Fei's mind suddenly moved, and he remembered the scene when he met Meng Xiuyuan last night, and understood why Meng Xiuyuan asked this question, and hurriedly explained again:
"Meng Shaoxia, I did go a little wild last night, but we just won a big battle, so we wanted to celebrate.
The dozen or so people you see are all my capable commanders. If you don't win over and appease them, how can you lead the troops well?
I'm not a very capable person, so I only relied on being kind to the brothers around me and getting everyone's support to get to where I am today.
You can go and ask around, who among the Ming Cult doesn’t know that as long as they are under my Ji Fei’s command, they are just small soldiers, and they never suffer from hunger or cold..."
Ji Feixu showed his true feelings this time, he was very excited when he spoke, and sprayed spittle directly at Meng Xiuyuan. Fortunately, Meng Xiuyuan was running the "Xuanjia Gong" at all times, so he missed his move.
"ok, ok, I got it."
While Meng Xiuyuan listened to Ji Fei's words, he secretly observed Miss Yang's expression. Seeing that she had no mood swings throughout the whole process, it was obvious that this was not the key to the matter.
"But, what is that for?"
Meng Xiuyuan felt that he did not know the truth, so he couldn't help but groan and looked at Ji Fei and Miss Yang.
When Ji Fei heard this, he hurriedly said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Shaoxia, didn't I just tell you that there was a misunderstanding..."
Hearing what Ji Fei said, Miss Yang finally couldn't help it and said:
"What's the misunderstanding? You killed someone and you deserve to pay for it with your own life.
Even today...even if Meng Shaoxia is here, you can never escape the blame."
Seeing this situation, Ji Fei became a little anxious and couldn't help but argue with Miss Yang:
"It's not that I meant to harm her, it's the woman herself who has something wrong with her..."
Before he finished speaking, there was only a "cang clang" sound, and Miss Yang's sword was unsheathed again. Ji Fei was so frightened that he couldn't speak anymore, and hurriedly hid behind Meng Xiuyuan.
The tip of Yang Yunsu's sword was originally pointed at Ji Fei's throat and moved accordingly. But as soon as Ji Fei dodged, the sword subconsciously pointed at Meng Xiuyuan.
When Meng Xiuyuan saw this, he didn't react at all. On the contrary, Miss Yang herself was startled and quickly sheathed her sword, unwilling to point the sword edge at this person who had been reading for many years.
The next moment, the expression on Miss Yang's face changed, until she finally frowned, turned around and walked out the door:
"Young Master Meng is here today, so I can't do anything.
But remember, I won’t give up just like that..."
When Ji Fei heard the sound, he felt relieved. Fortunately, he had passed today's test. He carefully walked out from behind Meng Xiuyuan and let out a sigh of relief.
But what he didn't expect was that Meng Xiuyuan suddenly said:
"Miss Yang, wait a minute."
Just five words made Yang Yunsu and Ji Fei's hearts beat loudly.
"Meng Shaoxia, what's wrong..."
Miss Yang hesitated for a moment, then finally turned around and looked at Meng Xiuyuan with complex eyes.
"I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean to protect Ji Fei.
I also happened to come here last night, thinking I would stop by to visit an old friend.
I didn't think there was any dispute between you, but I think it would be better to make it clearer."
Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly at Yang Yunsu and said sincerely.
Miss Yang felt a little flustered when she saw Meng Xiuyuan's smile, but after a moment she seemed to have remembered something, her expression suddenly became ugly, and she still frowned and said nothing.
On the contrary, Ji Fei became anxious when he heard Meng Xiuyuan's words. He rushed out and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Shaoxia, please don't misunderstand me. I really haven't done anything harmful to nature.
It's just that I was unlucky and met a crazy woman..."
After saying this, Ji Fei glanced at Miss Yang again, and seeing that she had no intention of taking action again, he then thought about Meng Xiuyuan and said:
"Actually, the thing is very simple. I had a woman a few months ago.
At that time, we were still active in the northern Anhui area. We had just won a great victory and were resting in a village to celebrate.
It happened that I saw a girl from a family who was gentle and beautiful, so I thought about how lonely I had been for so many years, so I wanted to find a companion.
You also know that we rough guys who fight in the battlefield all day long have no time to do any red tape. We just ask the brothers to have a banquet together and we have married her..."
When Ji Fei said this, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly realized that Ji Fei had made such a mistake between a man and a woman. No wonder Miss Yang was so angry.
Meng Xiuyuan frowned and asked aloud:
"Are you robbing a common woman?!"
Ji Fei felt greatly wronged when he heard this. He was so anxious that he wanted to slap himself a few times, so he hurriedly defended himself:
"Listen to me, no matter how stupid I am, I can't do that kind of thing.
The betrothal gift must have been sufficient and her parents agreed. It meant that time was tight, there were no matchmakers and witnesses, and there was no eight-carriage sedan.
I heard from her parents that the girl likes flowers, so I asked my brothers to pick them from all over the mountains and fields, and almost all of them were placed in the new house.
If you have to say that I was wrong, it was because I was happy that day and drank too much. I was already very drunk when I entered the bridal chamber.
I vaguely remember hugging the bride and what she said to me, as if she wanted me to agree before she would be nice to me.
I was in a hurry to get married, so everyone nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, when I woke up the next morning, she emphasized to me that I had promised her last night that I would only be good to her in this life and that I would never take any more concubines or touch other women.
I was shocked when I heard what she said. I wanted to deal with her, but she turned out to be aggressive and insisted on swearing on my parents and Ming Zun.
I didn't allow her, so she started to have a big fight with me..."
At this point, Ji Fei just felt that he was unlucky, and his voice became louder and louder, gradually taking on a complaining tone.
After hearing this, Miss Yang was very angry, her face turned cold, and she shouted to Ji Fei:
"That girl has been driven to death by you, but you said it so lightly?!"
When Ji Fei saw this, he might have been emboldened to have Meng Xiuyuan standing beside him, but he might have been feeling depressed for a long time and couldn't hold it in any longer. Anyway, this time he didn't say anything soft, but shouted just as loudly:
"Where did I force her?!
I neither beat her nor scolded her, but she made such a fuss that even my brothers laughed.
Later, I felt that I really couldn't take her away, and I knew that I had ruined her body. I didn't want her to suffer, so I gave her parents a full two hundred taels of silver as compensation and asked her to remarry someone she liked.
Am I not doing well enough?
I don’t know what your identity is, Ms. Yang, why you insist on embarrassing me and meddling in my business?!"
Yang Yunsu snorted coldly and said loudly:
"That girl's family was once prominent, but it fell into disrepair after offending the Yuan Dynasty and suffering disaster.
The elders in my family had some connections with her family, and they were almost family friends.
I may not interfere with ordinary things, but of course I have to take care of such a serious matter that involves the death of a person..."
At this point, Miss Yang seemed to be afraid that Meng Xiuyuan would be deceived by Ji Fei, so she added:
"Let me ask you, before you married that girl, did her parents ask you to take good care of her after you got married and not go out to mess around with women?!
His parents hated the Tatars so much. Seeing that you were rebels against the Yuan Dynasty and that the military discipline was strict and did not violate the common people, they thought you were a reliable person and married the girl to you.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye you would force their girl to commit suicide by jumping into the river!"
Ji Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, as if he just remembered this matter, suddenly, but still refused to admit his mistake:
"What does this mean? Which girl's parents don't give these words to their uncle before marrying their daughter?
Besides, I'm not saying I'm not good to her.
I was the first to marry her. Even if she is from a humble background, I will definitely treat her as my head wife in the future.
But her request was too much.
If a man is established in heaven and earth and has achieved great success, shouldn't he have three wives and four concubines?
Who would have thought that she was so unreasonable and had such an extreme personality that she turned around and jumped into the river secretly without even saying a few words..."
"Shameless!"
When Miss Yang heard this, she couldn't help it anymore. She gave a clear drink and then drew her sword and stabbed at Na Ji.
After not seeing each other for ten years, Miss Yang's kung fu has indeed improved significantly. She has obviously practiced the "Nine Yin Manual" to an extremely profound level. When she took action, the sword light flashed like a dragon, so fast that it was almost difficult to detect with the naked eye.
.
If it weren't for Meng Xiuyuan who was standing next to Ji Fei at this moment, Yang Xiao, and masters of the level of Xuan Ming might not have been able to help him block this powerful sword.
Hearing a "clang" sound, Meng Xiuyuan used the force of his finger force from "One Yang Finger" to hit Miss Yang's sword spine, knocking her sword slightly off course.
The next moment, I saw the sword just grazing Ji Fei's cheek, and even the beard hair on his face was cut off a lot.
Although Ji Fei had been practicing the "Liaoyuan Spear Technique" taught by Meng Xiuyuan over the years, he still had no room to react in front of a master of martial arts like Miss Yang.
Feeling the cold sword grazing his cheek, he was so shocked that his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, but he could not move at all.
On Miss Yang's side, sensing Meng Xiuyuan's restrained attack, she did not add another strike, but sheathed the sword. Her eyes sank slightly, she pursed her lips, and waited quietly for Meng Xiuyuan to speak.
"Miss Yang, I think this matter still needs to be discussed, so it's best not to rush into it."
Only then did Meng Xiuyuan speak.
"Meng Shaoxia, do you think that such a heartless dog thief who caused death should not pay with his life?"
Miss Yang looked at Meng Xiuyuan with an angry and slightly sad expression on her face, and she subconsciously pronounced the words "unfortunate" very seriously.
Meng Xiuyuan felt a little dizzy when he heard the sound and didn't know how to deal with the scene in front of him.
He was familiar with Miss Yang's life experience and knew that her mother's unfortunate life was somewhat similar to this incident, so he understood her mood and thought it was normal for her to be agitated.
But looking at Ji Fei in turn, Meng Xiuyuan also felt that although he made some mistakes, his crimes were not worthy of death.
After all, not to mention that in this era of war and chaos, even in future generations, Ji Fei's behavior would most likely not be considered a crime.
At most, it will be exposed on the Internet, cause heated discussions, and be slightly exposed by the Internet.
Under this situation, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, not knowing how to reconcile the contradiction between the two of them.
After this for a long time, Miss Yang saw that Meng Xiuyuan had been silent and guessed what he was thinking. Her eyes darkened and she said indifferently:
"Sure enough, you men all think the same way.
No wonder you are like that..."
After saying that, Miss Yang seemed to have been drained of all her strength, slowly turned around and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute, Miss Yang, if you have anything to say, why don't you say it clearly."
Since just now, Meng Xiuyuan has always felt that something was wrong with Miss Yang. Now that he heard her say such half words, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Yang Yunsu heard the sound, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke softly:
"Actually, it has nothing to do with me... Meng Shaoxia, I wish you can enjoy the beauty of Qi Ren and get along well with those two girls."
Meng Xiuyuan heard the sound and became more and more confused:
"Miss Yang, I don't understand what you mean."
Yang Yunsu shook his head, sighed, and said slowly:
"Meng Shaoxia, why do you need to hide it in front of me?
When I left the border, I heard the news about the six major factions besieging Guangmingding, so I followed them to find you.
At that time, I saw you behaving...intimately with two beautiful girls.
With Meng Shaoxia's appearance and martial arts skills, it is normal for many girls to admire him.
It's just that I can't accept it myself, so just ignore me..."
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He pondered for a moment, then understood what Miss Yang meant and couldn't help but smile:
"It turns out that that day when I fell from Guangming Peak, the person in the woods was you, and I thought I was a spy for the Yuan army. No wonder Qinggong is so good...
Haha, my two little apprentices were indeed a little fooling around. But don’t get me wrong, they heard that I had just fought with the Yuan army, so they were just checking to see if I was injured."
Miss Yang was stunned when she heard this and couldn't help but ask:
"Those two girls are your apprentices?"
"You have also seen one of the formal apprentices. She is the daughter of the boatman who was rescued by us. The other was entrusted to me by her mother. I got the benefits of their mother and daughter and learned Kung Fu, so I agreed to take care of her.
…”
At this point, the puzzle was suddenly solved and the atmosphere relaxed.
Meng Xiuyuan and Yang Yunsu naturally chatted about their daily life and stories about their experiences in the past few years.
But Ji Fei, who was originally at the center of the incident, was left aside.
Although he was happy to have escaped this disaster at this time, looking at Miss Yang, whose expression was gradually no longer cold, he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and felt that he had been accidentally affected.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the house, and a group of big men in military uniforms walked in.
The leader entered the door and shouted to Ji Fei:
"Brother Ji, you have fought a good battle these days. Let me see you, such a great hero."
Meng Xiuyuan heard the voice was familiar, followed the sound and recognized the identity of the person.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang whose appearance had not changed much, but his temperament had been turned upside down.
I updated 1w1 yesterday and I feel like my body has been drained. It’s very difficult to write today.
The Yitian volume has really come to an end, and I will write the last few chapters slowly.
