"Ouch!"
"Ouch! Jiang Ziya and I are incompatible with each other!"
Tai Luan gasped, covered his buttocks and screamed, while he kept scolding Jiang Ziya.
He could no longer feel any sensation in his butt, and his face was twisted in pain.
Tai Luan had never been subjected to this kind of punishment before. He had never been beaten before because he was a pampered child. The only injuries were from Doctor Shen's kicks.
But this Jiang Ziya is now very cruel. After these eighty whips, Tai Luan only feels that he is half dead.
Shame, naked shame, followed by waves of stern filial piety:
"Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya, if I don't retaliate with you today, if I don't let you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy, my surname Tailuan will be written backwards!"
He patted his back excitedly, gritted his teeth in pain, and the wound burst open in an instant. His hands were wet and full of blood. Tai Luan roared:
"Come here! Come here! Prepare the bamboo couch quickly, I'm going to see my uncle!"
Hearing Tai Luan's call, several confidants immediately came outside. Seeing this, they did not dare to hesitate. They hurriedly took the bamboo couch and helped Tai Luan up.
Tai Luan still couldn't understand his hatred at this moment. He knew in his heart that with him, even his uncle Tai Dian could not compete with Jiang Ziya in Xiqi.
The other party not only holds military power but is also responsible for Taoism. There are several disciples under his command who are extremely powerful. Even if he goes to his uncle to file a complaint, I am afraid that the result will be in vain and he will not be able to take revenge at all.
Therefore, it was useless to complain. He wanted to do a big thing by himself, which was to seek refuge with Dr. Shen, who loved the people like his own son, and to join the Yin Shang Dynasty.
You must know that he was accidentally captured by the enemy and was destined to die, but Doctor Shen was selfless in his heart and stretched out his hand to save him.
Before I was in vain, I had uttered arrogant words and wanted to harm him, but now it seems that I am simply blind.
For a moment, Tailuan only felt regretful as to why he chose to follow Dr. Shen instead of being in the Yin Shang military camp.
Compared to Jiang Ziya and Dr. Shen Xiqi, it is simply incomparable.
Go to hell Jiang Ziya, go to hell Xiqi.
Tai Luan cursed several times, and was ready to abandon the dark side and turn to the light, and go to Yin Shang to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Shen and avenge this great revenge!
Even if he is not good enough and is indifferent to others, he still has to drag his uncle along. Only in this way can he deal with Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya, you forced me to do so, he cursed again secretly, Tai Luan urged his men to set off quickly, he could no longer help but want to pull his uncle to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side...
At Tai Dian's house.
The Tailuan people hadn't arrived yet, but the voice had already arrived.
The shouts of "Ouch...ouch" kept coming and could be heard clearly even from a long distance away.
Tai Dian in the mansion was surprised. He had been accompanying King Wu in the palace all day, so he didn't know about Tai Luan being beaten.
And when he saw the flesh-and-blood mold lake behind his nephew being tremblingly carried in by everyone, he immediately became angry.
"Luan'er, what's going on? Didn't you go to escort the grain and grass outside the city?
"What happened to the injuries on your body? Who hurt you like this?"
Tai Luan ran forward anxiously, looking at his dying nephew with anger in his chest.
He was childless in old age, and he was the only nephew in the clan. He regarded Tai Luan as his biological son.
Seeing him losing half his life like this, how could he not be worried and angry?
Facing his uncle's questioning, Tailuan did not complain first, but raised his hand weakly:
"Uncle, don't you know that you are going to be in trouble?"
"Huh? What kind of disaster is coming? Please explain clearly." Tai Bian immediately became alert after hearing these sudden words.
"Uncle, you must be careful about Jiang Ziya next time!" Tai Luan's face was tense and full of worry.
"Jiang Ziya got into trouble today just because of some small mistakes, and almost killed his nephew. If it weren't for the protection of the court officials, you might not be able to see me!"
"Jiang Ziya's actions are definitely not that simple. There must be a deep meaning?"
Tai Luan was a little confused by what he said and was stunned: "What's the deep meaning? What does your injury have to do with Prime Minister Jiang?"
"Let my nephew analyze it for you." Tai Luan waved his hand and asked the servants to leave, and started talking loudly in the room.
"Uncle, we and other aristocratic families have followed Xiqi to establish their foundation for hundreds of years. Every Xibohou has shown great respect to the aristocratic family, but things have obviously changed now."
Tai Dian said: "Of course it is the same now..."
At this point Tai Dian sighed.
"Uncle, stop deceiving yourself." Tai Luan immediately interrupted his uncle's words, slapped the bamboo bed under him and shouted loudly:
"Don't you understand the current situation?"
Then he continued to speak loudly: "This was indeed the case originally, but since King Wen invited Jiang Ziya, an old fisherman from the Weishui River, everything changed."
"Jiang Ziya relied on King Wen's favor to fight for power and gain, favored people, eliminated dissidents, and brought chaos to the court."
"Not only does he want to take over the power now, but he also wants to drive our family to death!"
Tai Dian said angrily: "That's nonsense!"
"Are you able to discuss such important matters in the court?"
Tai Luan was startled, his expression was a little frightened, his voice gradually became softer, and he struggled.
"What I said is obviously correct. King Wu was bewitched by Jiang Ziya, a monster, and he overestimated his own ability to fight against the Yin Shang Kingdom. The beating of his nephew this time is a signal that Jiang Ziya wants to eradicate the powerful family like us."
"Jiang Ziya can spank my ass today, but can't he spank your face tomorrow?"
"Everyone in Manxiqi knows that I am your nephew. Jiang Ziya is ruthless. Now that he has insulted me like this, he is obviously going to attack you too."
"Fart!" How dare you compare your butt to my face? After hearing this, Tai Dian was furious and waved his hand to teach this unfilial nephew a lesson.
But he didn't expect Tai Luan to actually raise his head and take the initiative to show his face.
And he kept struggling angrily:
"You fight! If you fight, you will die in the hands of your uncle, or in the hands of Jiang Ziya, and in the end you will be annihilated by the Manchus!" After saying this, he showed an expression of not fearing death and heroic sacrifice.
Of course, it would be more true if his body trembled slightly and he peeked without opening his eyes.
Tai Dian looked on coldly. As a veteran in the officialdom, he had been scheming with wealthy families in the court for so long, how could he be deceived by someone with just a few words.
And he almost didn’t believe a word of his nephew. After all these years, he still didn’t know what he looked like?
Pure idiot.
He eats, drinks, goes whoring and gambles, lies constantly, and relies on his reputation to be arrogant. In Xiqi City, everyone is calling for beatings.
Can you still believe his words?
He glared at Tai Dian and said angrily:
"Tell me, have you done something detrimental to Xiqi? This injury seems to be caused by military punishment, not a sore from a fight."
"You should have arrived a few days ago to transport food and grass to the army, but now it has been delayed for ten days."
"If I hadn't protected you in Xiqi, how could you be alive today?"
Tai Bian is indeed a veteran in the officialdom. He can make guesses just by looking at the injury.
Tai Luan was shocked when he heard that his old background was exposed. He thought to himself that it was not good. He dared not argue, so he could only murmur and nod.
"It's all my nephew's fault. I offended Prime Minister Jiang, but my nephew's guess is definitely not false. Please uncle, be careful as soon as possible to avoid being harmed!"
Tai Dian was silent for a moment. Although Tai Luan's words were a bit unreasonable and made out of nothing, they were.
What he said makes sense, and he has an appetite for Tai Dian.
Because he was originally a capitulationist who represented the interests of aristocratic families. As long as they could protect their own interests and the wealth of the family, they didn't mind who would be the monarch.
What's more, the Yin Shang Dynasty was always honest and right, while Xiqi was a blatant rebel.
He had already had an idea, but it just didn't work out.
Instead of following Xiqi, who is about to weaken, why not choose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
Tai Dian finally slowly lowered his clenched hand and sighed softly.
Seeing that his uncle was moved, Tai Luan thought about it and felt that he had made the right bet this time. His uncle might have been on guard for a long time.
As a result, his mind became active again, and he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and persuaded:
"Uncle, if you continue to cut off the situation, you will suffer chaos. We should make plans in advance. If Jiang Ziya takes the lead, how can we survive?"
"Today, my nephew has a plan to protect my family from worries. I wonder if my uncle would like to hear about it?"
"You are the only one who can say something useful?" Tai Dian shook his head and said disdainfully.
...Well, Tai Luan was a little speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Prejudice, this is definitely prejudice!
How can the world know about my talent as Tailuan? Only Dr. Shen can know how to use people well, and he saw how extraordinary I am.
Seeing his uncle showing disdain, he immediately laughed and said:
"Uncle, you always say that I am incompetent. I spend my days eating, drinking, having fun, and bullying the market."
Tai Dian asked doubtfully: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not. My nephew, although I have made small mistakes, I have made great achievements. It is precisely because I am notorious and everyone calls for beatings that my uncle can stand so securely in the court and gain the trust of King Wu."
Forehead……
This weird statement may seem like nonsense, but if you think about it carefully, it actually makes a lot of sense.
Because the existence of aristocratic families was already feared by the Xiqi monarch, if a brilliant and extremely intelligent person really emerged, he would probably have trouble sleeping and eating.
But if there is trash in the family, Ji Fa can laugh out of his dreams.
He looked at his nephew carefully. Could it be that this kid had been hiding his clumsiness and had realized it long ago?
With doubtful eyes, Tai Dian finally nodded and said:
"What method do you have? Let's talk about it for now."
Tailuan knew that his purpose of coming today was finally achieved, so he became more confident and said without hesitation.
"Uncle, the Yin Shang Dynasty is the destiny of the world. The world is orthodox. Doctor Shen is both civil and military and has peerless talent. How can an old man like Jiang Ziya compete with Doctor Shen?"
"I'm afraid that one day the city will be destroyed and people will die, and our noble families will be destroyed along with them."
After Tai Dian thought about it, he naturally thought so, otherwise he would not have led his ministers and advocated surrender.
"Then what do you think should be done?"
"Doctor Shen of the Yin Shang Dynasty serves the country and the people, and his heart is righteous for the Ming Lord. We can directly surrender to him."
Tai Dian stroked his beard and his eyes flashed: "This matter still needs to be discussed..."
Tai Luan quickly interrupted:
"Uncle, there is no need to discuss it any further. Today's nephew's beating has already proved that Jiang Ziya is going to take action against us and other aristocratic families. Do you want to watch the family's century-old accumulation be destroyed in one day?"
“It’s essential to be on guard against others.”
It's crazy to think about it, it's really like this.
In other words, even if he rejects his nephew's proposal, Jiang Ziya has indeed shown his attitude and will definitely attack them if he finds an opportunity in the future.
"My nephew has decided to leave Xiqi today at night and go to the Yin Shang camp. My uncle only needs to take his confidants to go with me."
"With the abilities of our uncle and nephew, we will definitely be able to show off our skills when we get to Yin Shang and help Doctor Shen defeat Xiqi!"
"In the future, I will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing wealth and honor."
Tai Luan said anxiously.
Young people are always impulsive and desperate when doing things, but people like Tai Dian don't act impulsively.
Otherwise he would have died countless times.
This kind of old fox is already scheming.
After hearing this, Tai Bian paced back and forth, constantly analyzing the pros and cons in his mind. Deffecting Xiqi was a big deal. If he did it well, it would be fine. If he didn't do it badly, he would be killed.
What's more, he couldn't bear to part with his wealth and status in the city, so he wouldn't give it up easily.
"But seeking refuge with the Yin Shang Dynasty and Dr. Shen is their last resort."
After thinking carefully for a moment, he looked out the door, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a brilliant idea, and he quickly said to his nephew:
"Don't worry, Luan'er. Although we have decided to join the Yin Shang Dynasty, if we go alone, we may not be taken seriously."
"As of now, it is better to stay in the city for the time being as a response. You can take the lead in going to Dr. Shen's camp to explain our thoughts clearly.
When a critical moment is found, both sides cooperate internally and externally, and if the city raises fire as a signal, Xiqi will definitely be defeated! "
"And if I can recruit more people to join in this matter, I will be more confident!"
Tai Luan was shocked after hearing his uncle's plan. He just wanted to make Jiang Ziya pay the price.
But what people want to do is to dig up the foundation of the entire Xiqi...
In this way, not only was the great contribution achieved, but the family power was not affected, even Xiqi was gone.
High, really high!
When Tai Luan saw his uncle's expression, he had already figured out his plan and was filled with admiration.
Hearing this, Tailuan couldn't help but want to call his guards and prepare to go to the business camp immediately.
But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Tai Dian:
"Wait a minute, if you go here empty-handed and say nothing, I'm afraid you won't be trusted. You have to give me a big gift to show the importance of my uncle and nephew."
"What kind of gift?" Tai Luan asked doubtfully.
"It is said that the day before yesterday, Yang Jian, that fellow, stole a treasure from the Yin Shang Dynasty. It was a Hunyuan umbrella, which has unpredictable powers."
"You can steal it overnight and give it to the doctor's tent. It may be able to help the doctor during the battle."
"Fuck!" Tai Luan was dumbfounded after hearing this. Was he convinced, or his uncle was bad enough, and he was really insidious.
Even before he surrendered, he was already thinking about how to seize Xiqi's family fortune.
But he likes it.
Only in this way can he have a chance to take revenge on Jiang Ziya.
Don't worry, Dr. Shen, I will make clear arrangements for you and there will be no mistakes.
Inside the Yin Shang camp.
Doctor Shen is enjoying the massage from the little fox, but for some reason, he always feels like his eyes are twitching?
