Not long after Eunuch Yuheng left with a hundred tigers, Xiao Chunqiu and others followed Qi Xiaomei into the thatched house.
At this moment, in the thatched house hall, Xiao Chunqiu was standing there with three sticks of incense in his hand, looking at the memorial tablet in front of him in silence. Wei Wucan, Murong Qiuxue and Qi Xiaomei stood on one side and also remained silent, but Wei Wucan Can could clearly see from the gap that the name of General Xiao Ruoding was clearly written on the tablet.
Xiao Chunqiu stood there and watched for a long time. After a long time, he did not bow down and directly inserted the three sticks of incense in his hand into the incense burner in front of the tablet.
At this time, Wei Wucan couldn't help but look at Qi Xiaomei with admiration in his heart, "General, thanks to you just now..."
But just as Wei Wucan finished speaking, he was pulled back by Murong Qiuxue, with an unhappy look on his face, "Senior sister, what are you doing?"
But Murong Qiuxue didn't answer. She just pressed Wei Wucan's shoulders hard to make him stand here. At this moment, Xiao Chunqiu had turned around and looked at Qi Xiaomei, "Okay, it's time to talk about us. It’s over.”
Qi Xiao frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Xiannie, you have changed. You are a little more human than when I saw you back then."
His tone was heavy, but it sounded very gentle, but Xiao Chunqiu was still lazy, "I have experienced too many things in the world, so I should be different from before."
"Yes!" Qi Xiaomei sighed, "You will change after experiencing too many things!"
"So, you colluded with Xi Chu and betrayed Beili?" Xiao Chunqiu's tone was still salty.
But Wei Wucan and Murong Qiuxue were shocked after hearing this, but Wei Wucan was puzzled, "But according to Jianghu, hasn't the person who betrayed Beili already been killed by Jianghu people?"
Qi Xiao frowned and said, "That person is just a scapegoat that Xi Chu found in order to save my life. At that time, the eldest brother was forced by Emperor Tai'an to resign from the position of general of the Chinese army and went to work outside the territory. I was dissatisfied with the leader of the Demon Cult, so I opened up the country and used the help of Xi Chu to destroy the Xiao royal family and let my eldest brother come back to be the emperor."
"But you made a mistake after all your calculations. Xichu was not helping you, but using you. Unexpectedly, Xichu went back on his word and took Beili into his pocket. Even your life was almost lost. No guarantee, in the end it was Eunuch Yu Heng who came forward to plead for mercy and saved your life, otherwise you wouldn't be in this situation today. But none of the above is your regret. What you regret most is that you couldn't help Xiao...Help me Dad ascended to the throne and had him killed." Xiao Chunqiu said slowly.
Qi Xiaomei walked to the memorial tablet and knelt down with a guilty look on her face, "I know I feel guilty for my eldest brother, so I placed a memorial tablet here to honor him. I know I don't have the qualifications. Maybe I just want to have some peace of mind, or maybe I wanted to atone for the sins I committed back then, but after so many years of atonement, there was no result. I knew you would come to me, and at that time I was thinking, what can I do if you come to me? Probably Offer the sword with both hands!"
After saying that, he pulled out the knife from his waist and held it in front of Xiao Chunqiu with both hands.
Seeing such a scene, Wei Wucan approached Wei Wucan and asked in a low voice: "Wei Wucan, do you think Xiao Chunqiu will kill him?"
Wei Wucan shook his head and smiled, "I don't know!"
At this time, Yin Shuzhu led the six-year-old child he had seen in the small courtyard before and walked out, "I would like to ask Mr. Xiao to wait a moment. We, mother and daughter, have something to ask for!"
Xiao Chunqiu tilted his head slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I know that my general made a big mistake back then, and it was an irreparable mistake. It killed thousands of innocent people, and even the Xiao royal family. The mistake he made, my wife, also I want to make up for something, even though it is trivial, but I just want to accumulate more virtue for his next life." As Yin Shuzhu spoke, he led the six-year-old child to Qi Xiaomei's body and knelt down. She raised her head, "So... ..”
Xiao Chunqiu continued, "So you want to die?"
Wei Wucan and Murong Qiuxue were both shocked, but Qi Xiaomei seemed to have made an agreement with his wife long ago and did not intend to say anything like pleading, but she was heartbroken.
"Yes!" Yin Shuzhu smiled softly, then looked at the six-year-old child beside him and said gently, "Xiaobu, what did mother teach you in the room just now? Come on, tell this young master!"
"Mother said, please... Young Master... kill us!" The six-year-old child finished the sentence with a stutter.
Wei Wucan and Murong Qiuxue really couldn't stand these heart-wrenching scenes.
What kind of mother can bear to teach a six-year-old child to say such things? She is a mother who has no hope of living, but after death, she is afraid that no one will take care of her child, so she can only hold her child. What does this sentence mean when a six-year-old child goes to die together, at least that way her child will not suffer.
"Master Xiao, please do it!" Yin Shuzhu's eyes became firm and he handed over the sword in his hand. Even the six-year-old child followed suit and handed over a dagger.
"Okay!" Xiao Chunqiu instantly revealed an unprecedented murderous aura.
Wei Wucan was shocked, "Did Xiao Chunqiu really want to kill them?"
"Then do we want to go up and rescue them? They feel so pitiful!" Murong Qiuxue said.
But it was too late, Xiao Chunqiu had already snatched the knife that Qi Xiaomei held up with both hands. When the knife rose and fell, Wei Wucan and Murong Qiuxue couldn't bear to look at it and turned their heads.
There was only a "clang" sound, but the knife did not kill Qi Xiaomei, but was inserted in front of him, and half of the blade was buried in the ground. Xiao Chunqiu flicked his sleeves and returned to his lazy look.
Qi Xiaomei looked at the knife inserted in front of him and asked in confusion: "Why?"
"I don't like killing people, and I won't kill you!" Xiao Chunqiu replied lightly.
Qi Xiaomei shook her head, "I hope my nephew can kill me, so that I can go to my eldest brother to apologize."
"Wouldn't that be too advantageous for you!" Xiao Chunqiu sneered, "Didn't you just want to say that you want to atone for your sins? I can give you a chance to do two things for me!"
Qi Xiaomei and Yin Shuzhu looked at each other, stood up hurriedly, cupped their hands and said, "My dear nephew, just ask me."
Xiao Chunqiu stepped forward and said something in Qi Xiaomei's ear, then turned around and said, "After completing these two things, you can come to me at Tianyan. I will wait for you there for a while. Also, take care of me from now on." I call you Mr. Xiao, do you understand?"
Qi Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, "I understand."
Xiao Chunqiu stopped talking and walked straight out the door. But when he passed by Wei Wucan and Murong Qiuxue, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at them, "What are you two doing standing there? Do you want to stay?" Want to eat?"
Only then did the two of them react and hurriedly followed.
Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Qi Xiaomei couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that my uncle is being sentimental."
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was movement from outside. Looking up, he could vaguely see someone coming outside. He suddenly felt something bad. After telling Yin Shuzhu that he was optimistic about Xiaobao, he strode away. go out.
