"Do you think the court's one hundred thousand taels of silver is so easy to get?"
The Ge brothers put a huge dose of Mongolian sweat medicine into the meals of their father and Ling Yun in order to stun them. They captured Ling Yun and handed him over to the government, where they received the coveted reward of 100,000 taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yun saw through the trick, and the three of them started fighting fiercely in the room.
When Ge Long saw his younger brother being controlled by Ling Yun's acupoints like lightning, he couldn't help but panic. In desperation, he performed the "Three Kaiyang Techniques" taught to him by his father.
Ling Yun was startled, he didn't expect this yellow-haired boy to have such powerful moves.
He turned sideways, his movements were light and elegant, and he avoided the previous two killer moves.
Seeing that the first two moves ended in failure, Ge Long held his breath and concentrated, using all his strength to penetrate the third move that determined the outcome!
As soon as the sword was swung out, a bright light burst out from the sword body. The white sword light was like meteors turning into rain, and its majestic momentum seemed to be able to split mountains and cut rivers. Ling Yun, who was on the opposite side, suddenly felt a terrifying murderous aura coming towards the door in front of him.
He knew that there was no hope of dodge, so he used a "shifting trick", and his nimble figure flew into the air; then his ape arms stretched out, with lightning speed, and he casually pulled out the fish-green swords on several cases.
Ge Long felt a chill coming straight at him. He was so frightened that he had no time to react. The opponent's long sword was like a white snake spitting a letter, hissing through the wind, with a chill that chilled the bones of the god, and the coldness hit his heart!
"What a fast sword. Master Ling's swordsmanship is indeed well-deserved. We are convinced that we lost..." Ge Long murmured, his face turned earth-colored.
"If a man doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent man, and if he dies, he will die. Let's do it!"
"Aren't you all just for that one hundred thousand taels of silver, and you still have the nerve to talk about success and becoming a benevolent person?" Ling Yun sneered, his tone full of narrow-mindedness and contempt.
Ge Long looked ashamed and lowered his head in frustration.
Ling Yun looked at them silently, a scene gradually brewing in his eyes, "Do you still remember seven years ago, when a group of us came here as guests, you were still young at that time, and how innocent you were - the world is so ruthless, Now that you have become like this, it is really heartbreaking!..."
"You finally admit that you are not my uncle. You are the uncle who came to my house as a guest a few years ago and then gave me the exquisite jade pendant?..."
Ge Long looked at him blankly, his eyes so bright that they seemed to be flashing, and his whole body suddenly trembled. He could no longer hold back his tears and began to sob softly.
"So what if I admit it?" Ling Yun has always been calm and gentle, rarely getting angry, but now his face completely darkened, his expression was tense, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
"I just don't understand, does that one hundred thousand taels of silver really hold such an important position in your hearts? Just for it, you can betray your friends and do such a disgraceful thing just for the sake of it!"
Ge Long lowered his eyes, avoiding his sharp eyes, and said bitterly: "You are not us, how can you understand the life of poor people like us?..."
Looking at the other party's miserable expression, Ling Yun couldn't help but be startled.
"You used to be the commander of the bodyguards of the Minister of Justice, a dignified county horse, and now the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion - you have a high position and noble status, how can you understand the sorrow and helplessness of us humble commoners? How can we understand the pain we feel when we are looked down upon and bullied by others all day long?
"What else does the owner of the ceramics workshop have besides being rich? Why can he dictate to our brothers, shout around, even hit or scold us, and not even pay us wages?
"Our brothers have all the hard work, but no use for it. We are always toiling away every day, working like a grandson as a handyman, but in the end we are still very poor. Why do you think this is?
"Master Ling, to be honest, we all dream of being rich and living a good life with plenty of food and clothing. Are our ideas too much?
"Yes, what we did was inappropriate, and now we have regretted it! If you must say that we are villains who are unjust for profit, our brothers have nothing to say. A man dares to do what he does, Ling Daxia If you want to kill, just kill!"
If the impulse just now was like a rising tide, then the guilt at this moment is like a tsunami. When he said these words, Ge Long's whole heart was filled with soreness, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he could hardly bear the choking-like vibration in his throat.
After saying that, he lowered his eyes slumpedly, closed them and waited for death.
Ling Yun's eyes were as cold as quenched ice, and he glanced at him lightly. Suddenly, his eyes focused on the crystal clear and exquisite jade pendant worn on his waist.
Unconsciously, he frowned slightly, raised his sword, and made a "Gangfeng Sweeping Leaves" gesture. The jade pendant whirled, raised, and reached his hand.
"Is this still the exquisite jade pendant I gave you as a gift?" Ling Yun raised the jade pendant in front of him and looked at it over and over.
Ge Long said "hmm" casually.
"After all these years, you still keep it treasured?" Ling Yun looked at him with awe-inspiring eyes.
Ge Long lazily lowered his eyelids and said nothing, just smiling bitterly.
"Actually, this is just an ordinary jade pendant. It's not worth anything at all. If life is really hard, you can exchange it for some silver to supplement your family income. Why should you cherish it so much?" Ling Yun's heart throbbed unconsciously. , said in a deep voice.
"We would like to, but father won't let us..." Ge Long muttered.
"Why?"
"I don't know why." Ge Long shook his head feebly, as if full of resentment, "What he said is inexplicable, and I don't understand it either..."
In the voice, the words that his father Ge Beiqiu once said echoed clearly in his ears:
"Some things cannot just be limited to the surface. Some things are not just one thing, but also represent other meanings - when you grow up, you will understand..."
Listening to Ge Long repeating what his father Ge Beiqiu had said, Ling Yun's original dark and gloomy expression slowly disappeared, and the eyes he looked at the other party became much more relaxed and soft; he pondered for a moment and suddenly withdrew his long sword.
Ge Long couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He only heard Ling Yun say: "My life was originally saved by your grandfather and your father, and I have been cared for by your family these days. The grace of rebirth and rebuilding has never been forgotten by Ling Yun.
"In other words, my life belongs to you. Even if I die in your hands, I have nothing to say. Furthermore, you are young and ignorant, and it is inevitable that you will make mistakes in a moment of confusion, so I will give you a chance."
Ling Yun paused, and then said seriously: "Money is an external thing, and glory and wealth are just passing by. Don't take these things too seriously. If you let down your conscience for these cumbersome things, then you will lose something." It will be immeasurable.”
After saying that, he used his parallel fingers to untie Ge Hu's acupuncture points, slowly put the sword back into its sheath, turned around, picked up the clothes and packages on the table, and pushed the door open.
Ge Long and Ge Hu sat slumped on the ground, looking at each other.
Ling Yun felt heavy. He was walking lonely after leaving the Ge family. Suddenly he heard someone calling him from behind. When he looked back, it was Ge Zhong and Ge Beiqiu's father and son.
It turned out that a few days ago, a child of a family in the neighboring village of Cuizhu Villa was seriously ill, and they invited the iron-fingered fortune teller Ge Zhong to go to the house for a diagnosis, so Ge Zhong has not been at home these days.
Now that the child's condition is almost better, Ge Zhongsui said goodbye and turned around. As soon as I entered the house, I happened to encounter this thrilling scene in front of me.
Ge Zhongnai is a hidden master of the world, extremely nurturing, calm in dealing with things, and has the style of a general who "does not panic before the collapse of Mount Tai".
Encountering such an embarrassing thing, anyone else would have been panicked and overwhelmed, but he was calm and calm in the face of danger.
At first he did not come in, but quietly hid in the dark and watched the development of the situation coldly.
Later, when Ling Yun pushed open the door and left, Ge Zhongfang flew into Ge Beiqiu's room and relieved him of the Mongolian sweat medicine. Then the father and son hurried out of the room and caught up with Ling Yun who had already left.
Ling Yun stopped and looked at them without saying a word. His sharp curved outline was tinged with a touch of indifference and alienation, and his black and white eyes were calm.
Ge Zhong whispered: "Everything that happened in the room just now was seen by the old man."
Ling Yun said lightly "Yeah". In fact, with Ling Yun's martial arts skills, when he was fighting with the Ge brothers in the room, he had already noticed that there was someone outside the room, but he didn't point it out.
Ge Zhong said again: "It's all because of my incompetent teachings that I gave birth to such naughty descendants who don't know the heights of heaven and earth. I almost made a big mistake! I would like to apologize to Master Ling here."
As he spoke, he leaned forward to bow, but Ling Yun raised his hand to stop him.
"Senior, please don't do this. The two nephews are young and ignorant, and it is inevitable that they will do wrong things in a moment of confusion. I just ask senior and Brother Ge not to question them. Remember the ancient adage: teach your children and grandchildren that it is better to be sparse than to block."
When he said this, his voice was very low, with a subtle hint of hoarseness.
Ge Beiqiu was moved and said: "I admire Master Ling's broad-mindedness. Alas! I only hate those two traitors..."
Ling Yun smiled softly and said: "Brother Ge, don't say anything anymore. Senior Ge and Brother Ge's life-saving grace is unforgettable to Ling Yun. If there is a chance in the future, he will repay it. Now Ling Yun has been begging for mercy in the mansion for many days, and he does not dare to do it again. Sorry for the trouble, please take your leave."
He said and bowed deeply to the two of them.
Ge Beiqiu was stunned and said, "What, you must leave now, you must not! The wind is blowing outside, and there are official documents to arrest you everywhere. If you go out, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
Ling Yun's sword-browed eyebrows were cold and sharp, and there was a sharp edge in his clear eyes. "Actually, I haven't paid much attention to the government and the rabble of Tianxiao. Besides, since they are determined to catch me, as long as I don't show up, I don't think they will give up. I You can't live in a turtle for the rest of your life!
"Things are blessings or disasters. They will come eventually, and escaping is never an option. See you soon, Senior Ge and Brother Ge."
After saying that, he cupped his hands at the two of them and turned around.
The two of them silently watched his figure gradually blending into the night, feeling extremely depressed. They looked at each other speechlessly, and just sighed heavily...
