Chapter 697 You talk about reason, I use a knife
First he apologized on behalf of Wei Changtian, and then he threatened Wang Nianchu to stop making trouble.
It not only protects the reputation of the Wei family, but also does not undermine their own prestige.
Be calm and use both soft and hard methods.
Facing Wang Nianchu who was suspected of being here to cause trouble, Yang Liushi's response could be said to be very appropriate and decent. Although she didn't say much, she took all aspects into consideration.
On the other hand, Wang Nianchu looked at the woman in front of him who was far superior to him in both temperament and appearance, and for a moment he felt as if he was a head shorter than him.
"Husband, Madam."
She lowered her head with aggrieved and nervous expression, and whispered, "I am not here to ask for an explanation from Master Wei."
"oh?"
Yang Liushi's expression remained unchanged as she asked calmly, "Then I wonder what the girl wants to do?"
"I, I came here to get something back."
Raising his head to answer, Wang Nianchu saw Yang Liushi frowning, knowing that the latter might have misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "Madam, it's Jian Sui!"
"It's the sword tassel hanging on the hilt of the Longquan sword!"
"This item was left to me by my grandmother. It is very important to me."
"If Master Wei doesn't need it, I wonder if it's possible..."
"Return it to me, my daughter."
Wang Nianchu's voice became smaller and smaller, and was almost inaudible at the end, as if her request was extremely exaggerated.
Of course, it’s just a request to get the sword tassel back, which is definitely not an excessive request.
However, Yang Liushi did not agree immediately, but just nodded slightly.
"I see."
"Please wait a moment, young lady. I will ask my husband for you."
“.”
Her long skirt swayed slightly, and after Yang Liushi finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the carriage. Zhang San also hurriedly lifted the curtain for her.
"Sir, you heard it all."
Bending down and getting into the carriage, sitting opposite Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi whispered: "If the sword tassel is of no use to you, why not return it to Miss Wang."
"After all, it's a keepsake left by her grandmother."
"Um."
Wei Changtian already knew at this time that he had misunderstood Wang Nianchu, but he had no intention of going down to apologize to him. He just waved at Zhang San.
"Give it to her."
"Sir, that Black Tiger brand..."
"Give it to me all at once, so you don't have to make another trip."
"yes!"
Zhang San responded in a deep voice, then lowered the curtain, took out the white sword tassel and a black token from his arms, and quickly walked to Wang Nianchu.
"Miss Wang, this is your sword tassel. In fact, the young master had already asked me to return it to your mansion tomorrow."
Signaling to the secret guards to put down their knives, Zhang San handed over the two objects.
"This card is the Black Tiger Card of the Xuanjing Division. Please take it back and give it to your father."
"I apologize for offending you just now, I hope you won't blame me, young lady."
"Goodbye."
After saying this, Zhang San clasped his fists towards Wang Nianchu, then turned around and got on the carriage.
The wheels turned, and the carriage soon drove slowly away from the inn entrance, leaving Wang Nianchu standing there alone holding the two objects.
Her expression showed some surprise, yet some bewilderment, as if she couldn't quite believe that Wei Changtian could be so easy to talk to.
He was so arrogant and unreasonable in the afternoon, why is he so "reasonable" now?
Wang Nianchu looked down at the token in his hand, which was completely black with a vicious tiger carved on the front. He was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. It was only after a long time that he remembered that he had not said thank you.
However, Wei Changtian, who had already driven away, did not expect her to thank him. He was chatting with Yang Liushi at the time.
"You are so kind and you even apologized to her. You are the one who is good."
"Hehe, isn't this also for the reputation of the Wei family and the young master?"
Yang Liushi covered her mouth and smiled: "Although your reputation is already very bad, you can't just give up."
"Who said I have a bad reputation?"
Wei Changtian argued unconvincedly: "Even if it was worse before, now I have not only forced back Jueji's 800,000 troops, but I am also leading troops to reinforce Xinfeng."
"Can't such a feat be whitewashed?"
"Washed?"
Yang Liushi blinked in confusion: "Sir, what is whitewashing?"
"It's just to clear the name."
Wei Changtian gave an analogy: "It's like a piece of clothing that was originally very dirty, but now it's clean. Do you understand what I mean?"
“I think I understand.”
Yang Liushi nodded: "Does this mean the prodigal son returns?"
"That's about right."
"Hehe, then I feel that the young master has not yet cleared his name."
"Hmm? Why?"
"Because the young master is still as unreasonable as before."
"Reason? My parents have always told me that reason is not as useful as a knife."
"But the sword can only bend people, only reason can convince people."
"Okay, I can't argue with you. Next time we encounter this kind of thing, I will play the good cop and you will play the bad cop."
"White face? Red face?"
"I am the one using the knife, you are the one talking about reason."
"Okay, I'm the most reasonable one."
“.”
Facing the setting sun, the carriage slowly drove out of the city and headed straight towards the Yellow Maple Valley outside the city.
Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi in the car chatted with each other and somehow decided on their future "cooperation method" as husband and wife.
Wei Changtian originally thought that this was just a joke, but he never expected that... an hour later.
A group of old men were standing in a hall filled with the aroma of medicine, and the atmosphere in the hall was very tense.
Similar to the Wang family, when Huang Fenggu learned that Wei Changtian suddenly appeared outside the mountain gate, the entire sect was confused and nervous for a moment.
Wei Changtian did not waste any time and said directly, "You people in Huangfeng Valley raise monsters, and I am here to get rid of them today."
Raising monsters is a serious crime, so Huangfeng Valley dared not admit it. Their clan leader, whose surname is Huang, quickly denied it, saying that there were absolutely no monsters in the valley.
Then Wei Changtian said:
"What? Does that mean I'm talking nonsense?!"
“.”
On one hand, he admitted that he raised a monster, and on the other hand, he accused Wei Changtian of talking nonsense.
Sect Leader Huang was caught in a dilemma and had no idea what to say, so the situation came to a stalemate.
But at this moment, Yang Liushi suddenly came out and found a way out for both parties.
"Husband, we just sensed the presence of a monster in the back mountain of the Yellow Maple Valley. It doesn't necessarily mean that it is a monster that is intentionally raised."
"Master Huang, I believe your sect would never do such a thing as feeding a monster. I guess there must be a monster that has sneaked in here, but your sect has not noticed it yet."
"Why don't we go to the back mountain and take a look."
"If there really is a monster, it will be killed in time."
"If not, it can clear up a misunderstanding."
"Is that okay?"
“.”
By changing "feeding monsters" to "monsters roaming here", Yang Liushi saved Huangfeng Valley from a serious crime that could have destroyed the clan with just a few words, and also changed the mentality of everyone in Huangfeng Valley again.
When Wei Changtian first came, they were determined not to admit it even if they were beaten to death. After all, the snake demon was hiding very secretly, and they thought Wei Changtian would definitely not be able to find it.
And when Wei Changtian said "You are feeding monsters", Huang Fenggu knew that Wei Changtian was very sure, but he could only deny it with gritted teeth.
Later, Wei Changtian pressed forward step by step, and Huangfeng Valley was completely forced into a dead end.
If they admit it, it would be a serious crime of raising a monster, and they would all have to die.
If they refused to admit it, Wei Changtian would clearly force his way in, and they would still have to die.
In this case, it would be better to just fight with Wei Changtian. At least there is still a glimmer of hope.
Even though Huang Fenggu understood that even if all of them were combined, they might not be able to defeat Wei Changtian, they had no choice at that time.
However, at this last moment, Yang Liushi suddenly told them through those words just now -
As long as you hand over the snake demon, Huangfeng Valley will be pardoned.
At this point, the mentality of everyone in Huangfeng Valley completed its final transformation.
They no longer had the initial hope that they could get away with it, and all they had left was gratitude for having survived the disaster.
Even from the expression of Sect Leader Huang, he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Liushi.
"Husband, Madam, you are absolutely right! You are absolutely right!"
"It must be a monster that has wandered here! It must be a monster that has wandered here!"
"I will take the young master and the lady there right away!"
"Someone, come here! Why don't you go to the back mountain and check if there are any traces of monsters?!"
“.”
Just like that, without any bloodshed, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi soon saw a giant snake monster dying in the back mountain of Huangfeng Valley.
Although this snake demon, whether judging from its condition or the marks on its body, was obviously released not long ago.
But unless it is caught in the act, who can say that it is a domesticated animal?
"Master Huang, it turns out that I misunderstood your clan."
Looking at the half-dead snake demon not far away, Wei Changtian first gave Huang Fenggu a reassurance, and then declared that he was going to exorcise the demon and asked everyone to stay away.
The people in Huangfeng Valley did not dare to disobey orders and quickly retreated, leaving only Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi to "eliminate the monster" here.
As the moonlight shone down, the two looked at each other, and after a moment they burst out laughing.
"Goose, goose, goose, sir, I told you to be reasonable!"
"Hahaha, it's all because I acted so well at the beginning that I scared them all!"
"Yes! Young Master has made the greatest contribution!"
"Well, you did pretty well."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir~"
"Stop being so weird. We are not very cooperative today. I think the guy surnamed Huang is about to start a fight."
"Don't worry, sir. I know what I am doing."
"Okay, take out the Eclipse Pearl. The sooner we finish the job, the sooner we can go back."
"Yes. Oh! Sir! I forgot to bring it!"
"What? No, you."
"Geese, geese, geese, I have lied to you, sir. How could I forget such a thing?"
“.”
"Liu Shi."
"What's wrong, young master?"
"Since the situation in Xinfeng changed, something has been wrong with you."
"Maybe it's because I figured out something."
"What is it?"
“.”
Under Wei Changtian's puzzled gaze, Yang Liushi leaned close to his ear mysteriously and whispered, imitating the scene at noon: "I won't tell you!"
