Chapter 135: There are still people in my Pei family
When Wei Dashuan fell like that, his bones crackled all over his body.
"Qin Baozi, you are still so impulsive at your age. Have you been living on firecrackers all these years?"
Wei Dashuan tried to pull Qin Xiao's hand away:
"It's been so many years, how could I remember so much?"
Qin Xiao was not willing to let go and held on even tighter:
"If you don't remember, why are you telling everyone about that pants incident?"
Wei Dashuan was about to open his mouth and bite Qin Xiao's hand:
"I mean I don't remember swearing!"
The two old men were now very upset. They were pulling each other's clothes on the ground and rolling around in grass and mud.
Where the shovel was extended from behind, the soil suddenly collapsed and a pit appeared.
A figure covered in dust and with a dirty head and face climbed out of the pit, then turned back and said to the pit:
"Master, I've climbed up, you should come up soon too."
Murong Di groped in the tunnel for three days and experienced the numerous traps set up by Old Man Qin.
Old man Qin imitated the tomb's mechanisms underground, allowing Murong Di to experience firsthand the quicksand traps, chain flip boards, crossbow mechanisms, and even poisonous smoke and water.
Murong Di had lived for twelve years, and although his situation in the palace was not easy, he had never encountered such a situation. He went to see the King of Hell without realizing it.
If it weren't for Old Man Qin's guidance, he wouldn't be able to get out in ten days or half a month, let alone three or five days.
Murong Di now admires Old Man Qin even more.
"Okay, make way for me and I'll climb up." Old Man Qin's voice came from the cave entrance.
Murong Di stepped back a little.
Another figure soon emerged from the pit, also dirty and gray.
The master and disciple climbed up and saw Wei Dashuan fighting with someone.
Looking at the back, he was still a stranger.
Old Man Qin gave Murong Di a look: "Little brother."
Murong Di understood, and a plum blossom dart came out from his sleeve and stopped between two fingers.
He suddenly exerted force with his wrist and fingers, and the plum blossom dart flew towards Qin Xiao.
Wei Dashuan caught a glimpse of the cold metallic light at Murong Di's fingertips from the corner of his eye and shouted hastily, "Stop!"
But he shouted too late, the plum blossom dart had already left his fingertips.
Wei Dashuan gritted his teeth and turned over suddenly, changing positions with Qin Xiao at that moment.
Squeak——
The plum blossom dart pierced the cloth and penetrated the skin.
Wei Dashuan had a dart stuck in the middle of his left buttock, and he screamed in pain.
Qin Xiao did not expect this sudden change. The person who was struggling with him the moment before blocked the dart for him the next moment.
"Wei Gou...Afu!"
Wei Dashuan raised his head and howled a few times, then said to Qin Xiao in a sad voice:
"Leopard, I was wrong about the pants. This... is just my repayment..."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and closed his eyes.
Qin Xiao was frightened by the way Wei Dashuan spoke his last words.
Old Man Qin and Murong Di, who came forward to check, were also a little confused when they saw this scene.
There's no poison on this plum blossom dart, so why does it feel like it's going to kill you if it pricks your butt?
"What happened?" Qin Yuan, who came to check, was stunned.
Qin Yuan saw his grandfather gradually running away. Thinking that he was unfamiliar with the place, Qin Yuan felt uneasy and chased after him to check.
Governor Gu also accompanied him.
When they got closer, they saw Qin Xiao sitting on the ground covered in mud and grass, holding the unconscious Wei Dashuan in his arms. Wei Dashuan had a dart stuck in his butt.
There were two people squatting next to him who were so dirty that their faces could not be seen, examining Wei Dashuan's butt.
Governor Gu looked at them for a while, then saluted one of them:
"Why did the prince become like this?"
Qin Xiao and Qin Yuan turned to look at the disheveled young man at the same time, and the grandfather and grandson said in unison:
"King of Yue?"
Governor Gu: "What's going on?"
Before Murong Di could explain, Xue Che's voice rang out again:
"What happened to Grandpa Wei?!"
Xue Che was about to return to the village when he saw a few people crowded here on the way. He came over to see what was going on, but he saw Wei Dashuan who had fainted.
Xue Che quickly stepped forward and held up Wei Dashuan's head: "Hurry up and send Grandpa Wei to Doctor Yu."
He didn't notice who the old man holding Wei Dashuan was, but the other party recognized him.
"Che'er?" Qin Xiao's eyes widened into copper bells.
Isn’t this the child that the Xue family disappeared two years ago?
Qin Xiao and Xue Ming are brothers-in-law, and the two families are related. The Qin family knows the descendants of the Xue family.
Xue Che looked up when he heard the voice, and was also surprised when he saw Qin Xiao. He called out:
"Auntie?"
Qin Yuan held his forehead beside him.
Wait a minute.
The scene is a bit chaotic.
It’s so messy…
Two hours later.
The shadows of the trees moved from west to east.
Liangmin Village, Wei Family.
Qin Xiao, Qin Yuan, Murong Di, Old Man Qin, and Xue Che sat in a half circle around the wooden bed.
Wei Dashuan was lying on the bed with his lower body covered with a quilt.
The dart on Wei Dashuan's butt was removed and powdered. It wasn't serious, but he'd have to suffer for a few days, unable to sit or walk.
Qin Yuan looked at Xue Che from left to right, and considering the jade on Xue Che's neck, he was sure that this was the Xue family's child.
But this child looked much better than before, full of energy and vitality, not at all the sickly look in the impression I had.
Qin Yuan slowly sorted out the current situation:
"So, Che'er was rescued by the villagers and has been recuperating here."
"General Wei hid his identity and happened to escape here."
"The King of Yue got lost on the road and ended up in the village by accident."
"Grandfather was bored in the capital, so he insisted on coming to Lingnan with me, and happened to recognize General Wei."
Xue Che, Wei Dashuan, Murong Di, and Qin Xiao nodded.
That's it.
Qin Yuan spread his thumb and middle finger and rubbed the temples on the side of his face:
"Does this sound believable to you?"
Several people looked at each other: ...
Old Man Qin: "Young man, there are many coincidences in the world. Whether you believe it or not is God's will."
Qin Yuan looked up: "Old man, why are you still here? Do you know us, the grandfather and the grandson?"
Qin Xiao coughed twice and said, "Yuan'er, please don't be rude. We just met. This person is from the same clan as our Qin family and is a head older than me."
Qin Xiao had heard that one of their Qin family's ancestors had worked as a tomb raider, but later some of his descendants were unwilling to inherit the mantle, so the Qin family split into two branches.
Later, Qin Xiao's branch became more and more prosperous, while the branch that was good at tomb robbing gradually declined.
Old Man Qin waved his hand: "There's no need to make it so complicated. Our ancestors had this connection many years ago. It's all fate that we met here today."
Qin Xiao: "Uncle, we have something important to discuss. Could you please step aside for the moment?"
"Okay." Old man Qin got up and went out.
Anyway, he could hear it equally clearly whether inside or outside the house.
Qin Xiao saw that Old Man Qin had walked ten feet away, and after confirming that there was no one around, he returned to the house and asked in a low voice:
"Afu, what exactly happened back then?"
What is coming has finally come.
Wei Dashuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath:
"What happened back then implicated the Xue and Pei families, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers from the northwest."
Murong Di and Xue Che both grasped their sleeves and stared at Wei Dashuan.
The sky outside suddenly turned cloudy.
The wind made the treetops rustle, like Wei Dashuan's hoarse voice.
Xue Che's eyes turned red as he heard this.
Murong Di lowered his head and remained silent.
Qin Xiao was shaking with anger, and punched the eight-immortals table beside him, leaving blood marks on his white knuckles.
Qin Yuan's eyes were not red, nor was he angry, but there was a deep disappointment in his eyes, disappointment in the superiors.
“…When I came to Lingnan and met Ah Che, I knew this was God’s will.”
Wei Dashuan sighed deeply.
"It's a pity that except for the Empress in the palace, all the loyal and good people in the Pei family are no longer in this world."
As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open.
A cold wind rushed in, making the objects in the house rattle.
Qin Xiao and his grandson looked back.
A handsome man with a handsome face dressed in a cloth shirt stood at the door.
The hairband trembled in the wind and the corners of her clothes fluttered.
Like a zhi orchid, with outstanding character.
There was a hint of red in his deep, star-like eyes, and his voice was cold, like breaking jade against stone:
"There are still people in my Pei family."
