This caused laughter in the room, and the heavy atmosphere eased a lot. Zhang Zhongjian also laughed: "If you protect my eldest niece, my brother and sister-in-law might treat you as a guest of honor. Is there any need to negotiate conditions?"
The representative said, "So, Second Brother has agreed to let me stay."
The rest of the people followed suit and expressed their opinions.
Zhang Zhongjian was deeply moved by the scenes before him. They were one, and neither would abandon the other. He agreed to let them stay with him. Everyone was happy, and after a few words with Zhang Zhongjian and Sai Yuhuan, they left Dayi Hall together.
After everyone left, only Zhang Zhongjian, Sai Yuhuan, and Yin Jiujiu remained in Dayi Hall. Zhang Zhongjian suppressed his smile and said to Sai Yuhuan, "Linglong, since you want to stay, stay with me."
Yin Jiujiu heard something else in Zhang Zhongjian's words, so she asked, "Second brother, what about me?"
Zhang Zhongjian looked at Yin Jiujiu seriously and said, "Third Brother, you can't stay. After noon, you, the fourth and fifth brothers, and Yue Zheng will go to Xiangshui Town."
Yin Jiujiu said: "I don't agree, we already agreed on that."
Zhang Zhongjian was all too aware of the situation. He said, "Yin Lao San, you also know the current situation. Cai Yuanchang is the Jiedushi, powerful and influential. Killing us is as easy as crushing an ant. The lives of our brothers are our hope. Their safety is related to our ten years of hard work. There are also the families and children of several brothers. None of them can die at the hands of Cai Yuanchang. You, Lao Si, and Lao Wu must protect them. Their lives are in your hands. The road ahead is long and arduous."
Yin Jiujiu was very persistent. Since she had said so, she must stay: "I must stay. Without my second brother and eldest sister, there would be no Yin Jiujiu. You gave me my life and told me your biggest secret. I will not leave no matter what."
The biggest secret he mentioned was Sai Yuhuan's true identity. You must know that Sai Yuhuan is Huo Qing's orphan. Once her identity is revealed to the government, it would be a great achievement and wealth and glory would be within reach.
Sai Yuhuan told him her secret, which showed her extreme trust in him. When Sai Yuhuan and Zhang Zhongjian were in danger, he would never abandon Sai Yuhuan and Zhang Zhongjian and run away by himself!
His fate with Sai Yuhuan started a few years ago. He had a feminine appearance, which is commonly known as a boy with a girly appearance. He was looked down upon and despised by everyone.
His biological father was originally a wealthy family in Hangzhou, and his biological mother was an actor in a Nanqu troupe. His biological mother died early, his biological father was unkind, and his stepmother, the eldest lady, was unkind, so he suffered hardships in the Yin family. He once wandered around in a Nanqu troupe to sing opera for a living, and he wandered for several times. It was at that time that he learned his excellent archery skills.
Once, when he was about to starve to death, Sai Yuhuan gave him a bun and saved his life. Zhang Zhongjian admired his archery skills and, against all odds, made him the third in command of Qingyun Mountain.
In his eyes, Sai Yuhuan and Zhang Zhongjian are his family. If his family stays to take care of their family, he must also stay to take care of their family.
Zhang Zhongjian insisted, "Yin Jiujiu, you must go. You must take your brothers with you. And my son Yue Zheng, he is my only son. I am relieved to entrust him to you. If anything happens to my son, you are the only one I will ask!"
Sai Yuhuan and Zhang Zhongjian were on the same front: "Third brother, I entrust my Yue Zheng to you. My son will be your son from now on. You have to take good care of him for me."
Chapter 117 Flowers Awaken
Taking the brothers away and taking care of Yue Zheng were two heavy responsibilities for Yin Jiujiu. He slowly lowered his eyelids and had to agree. He said, "Sister and brother, I will take the brothers away and take good care of Yue Zheng. If anything goes wrong, I, Yin Jiujiu, will come to see you with my head."
Sai Yuhuan, with tears in her eyes, patted Yin Jiujiu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Good brother, I'm leaving everything to you."
Zhang Zhongjian also said, "Third brother, thank you."
Yin Jiujiu opened his eyes and looked at Sai Yuhuan and Zhang Zhongjian. Their faces and eyes were full of trust in him. He raised his hand and bowed deeply before walking towards the door of Dayi Hall.
He walked further away, and then closer to the gate. This was all due to the trust his elder sister and second brother had in him. In extraordinary times and at extraordinary moments, he couldn't let this trust down. If he let this trust down, then Yin Jiujiu wouldn't be worthy of being Sai Yuhuan and Zhang Zhongjian's brother.
Big sister, big brother, I won't betray your trust...
Outside the Dayi Hall, the Fourth and Fifth Masters, Zhu Fa, Dou Xi, and several representatives were all there. Seeing Yin Jiujiu emerge, they all walked over. The Fifth Master knew Zhang Zhongjian well. He would definitely insist on his own ways and might not agree to their staying. He spoke first, "We still have to leave, right?"
Yin Jiujiu nodded: "Second brother ordered us to set off immediately in the afternoon, without any delay."
The fifth boss sighed deeply: "Second brother is indeed a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He has only some friendship with the general, but not a close friend. He believes in the general's innocence and believes that the general was murdered. In order to protect the eldest boss, he also saved the lives of us brothers and suffered so much hardship and suffering with us." The general he was referring to was the Beiling rebel general Huo Qing.
The leaders of Qingyun Mountain are not ranked according to age, but according to martial arts skills, achievements, or intelligence and strategy. In terms of martial arts, Zhang Zhongjian is not the best, but in terms of achievements, intelligence and strategy, Zhang Zhongjian is definitely the first. However, Zhang Zhongjian respects and loves Sai Yuhuan so much that he gives up the position of the leader to her and is content to be the second in command.
The fourth boss also said: "Second brother can clear himself of all responsibility. For us, he cannot return home. Even now, he is still thinking about us and not himself."
Yin Jiujiu sniffed, "So we have to go. If we don't go, we will be sorry for Second Brother and his kindness and affection."
Everyone frowned and nodded in unison.
"It's time to go."
"That's right."
"Let's go, we have to go."
It was almost noon. A girl was lying on a wooden couch with a dark green gauze curtain. She was fast asleep, like a sleeping beauty in a painting.
Her face was as pale as snow, her lips were colorless, and she looked sick.
A young man was guarding her by the couch. His face was haggard and his eyes were slightly dark. It was obvious that he had not slept for a long time.
Ye Zelin rubbed his brows to wake himself up, looking at Hua Fushu on the couch, his eyes full of concern and anxiety. He prayed in his heart that she would wake up soon, but also felt a little guilty. After all, he did not protect her and failed to live up to the trust of his uncle Hua Feimo.
At the moment, he didn't want to care about Sai Yuhuan injuring Hua Fushu. What he hoped most was that Hua Fushu would wake up quickly. Last night, the words of the doctor named Dou Xi still lingered in his ears. Dou Xi said that Hua Fushu's injuries were really serious and her life was not in danger for the time being. When she could wake up depended entirely on her will and God's will. It would be a miracle if she could wake up within a day, but miracles were always very small.
He thought that he was still lucky that Hua Fushu did not lose his life. If Hua Fushu had died, he would have killed Sai Yuhuan without hesitation to avenge Hua Fushu's life, and would have buried the entire Qingyun Mountain with her!
