In the Xin family's mansion, the old head of the Xin family was sitting on a chair, looking pale.
Next to the head of the Xin family, stood the old housekeeper who had served the Xin family all his life.
The old housekeeper had just finished reporting what happened in Mobei City. At this time, he had packed his bags and looked like he was about to run away. In fact, I should have run away earlier, but after all, I still had some feelings for the Xin family, so I came to inform the old head of the family.
The head of the Xin family trembled and said: "You mean... Feng'er, he is really..."
The old housekeeper nodded, "Old master, it's absolutely true, run away quickly."
There were noisy footsteps in the mansion, mostly from the servants. The news that Xin Feng was beheaded in public spread quickly, and the servants naturally received the news.
In fact, you know what will happen next without even thinking about it.
At this time, running away to survive is naturally the most important thing.
The head of the Xin family sat slumped on the seat, his face was ashen, and his eyes were even darker.
The old housekeeper shouted a few more times, but the head of the Xin family just sat there stupidly, without replying or making any move.
The old housekeeper sighed again and again, then exited the room and ran away with the servants to escape.
After a while, only the head of the Xin family and his wife were left in the huge mansion.
The head of the Xin family looked at the wife who was still with him, sighed, and asked, "My wives have all run away, why don't you run away?"
The lady smiled sadly.
"Feng'er is dead. No matter how far I run, I will still be found. I will die no matter what. It's better to die in the Xin Mansion than to die in those wilderness areas."
This lady is Xin Feng's biological mother.
With the help of his wife, the head of the Xin family stood up, slowly walked out of the mansion, and came to the front door. He looked up for the last time and saw the word "Xin" engraved on the top, which was glowing with golden light.
The head of the Xin family looked at the door plaque in a daze, and suddenly he knelt on the ground with a plop, bursting into tears.
The Xin family was originally loyal to the current dynasty, and in Mobei they were definitely considered to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
At first, the Xin family didn't want to rebel. They wanted to keep guarding the court and this piece of Mobei.
Under the governance of the Xin family, Mobei is getting better and better, and soon the court will grant some rights. It is precisely because of this that the ambitions of the Xin family will become more and more ambitious. For this reason, they will not hesitate to take the wrong approach. If everything goes well , then they will soon become the second king with a different surname in this wasteland, and then they will be on a par with the Leng family and the imperial court of Xishu.
This is a great event to honor our ancestors!
It's just that this is not the right path. They don't have as strong a foundation as the Leng family of Xishu, nor do they have as many people in the court to support them. This kind of thing must be risky.
Between risk and safety, the Xin family chose risk.
If he had known that today, the head of the Xin family would never have made such a choice, but in the end he was still obsessed with power.
But now, it's too late to regret everything.
The head of the Xin family knelt on the ground. The originally solid door plaque suddenly showed signs of loosening for some reason. Then it completely came loose. He fell from a height and hit the ground with a loud noise. The door plaque instantly fell apart.
The head of the Xin family picked up a small piece of door plaque, looked up at the sky, and murmured: "Could it be that... I really want to destroy my Xin family?"
After he and his wife walked back to the mansion, the head of the Xin family came to the Xin family ancestral hall alone. Looking at the spiritual tablets in the ancestral hall, the head of the Xin family had mixed feelings in his heart.
After all, he is still a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.
His two sons died one after another in the dispute over the head of the family. Later, the youngest son he relied on the most was beheaded in the street, while the eldest daughter always ignored the Xin family, and the youngest daughter was recruited by Gu Xiaotian.
The head of the Xing family felt a little cold for no reason. He didn't expect that in the end, there would be no one he could rely on.
Looking at the spiritual tablets, the head of the Xing family knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Then he lit a few incense sticks and worshiped the spiritual tablets one by one. After placing the incense on the incense burner, the head of the Xin family looked at the spiritual tablets infatuatedly and suddenly felt like A child burst into tears.
"This junior is unfilial..."
Gu Xiaotian and Qiu Feng slowly arrived at the Xin family mansion.
Looking at the shattered door plaque at the door, Gu Xiaotian smiled softly, and then walked up the steps.
Today, the Xin family's mansion only has a beautiful shell, but the inside is already in a state of decay.
When we came to the Xin family's mansion this time, only four people actually came.
Gu Xiaotian, Qiu Feng, Xu Ran and Xu Ji.
The four of them crossed the threshold, walked into the mansion, and walked all the way to the main room.
In the main room, only the lady was there. The lady was kneeling on the ground, touching the main seat with her hand.
That was the position that Family Master Xin and Xin Feng once occupied. But now, one of these two people is no longer in the world, and the other is about to face death.
Gu Xiaotian and others just silently stepped into the threshold of the main room, watching the lady's movements, no one said anything.
The lady touched that spot repeatedly, and after a long time she turned her head and smiled, "You are here."
Gu Xiaotian obviously couldn't attack a weak woman who had no power to restrain a chicken.
And this time, Gu Xiaotian is not the protagonist.
Qiu Feng stepped forward and said loudly: "Xin Feng, the son of the Xin family, intends to rebel. You were born as Xin Feng's biological mother and you have poor discipline. You deserve the punishment."
The lady slowly closed her eyes. She didn't make any excuses or cry anything. She just said softly: "I understand, and I would like to ask the general to send me on my last journey."
Qiu Feng always had an expressionless face. In his eyes, men and women only care about right and wrong at this time.
Qiu Feng pulled out his knife, swung it across, then turned around and walked out of the house.
The lady fell in a pool of blood with a bright smile. .
Arriving at the mourning hall, the head of the Xin family just opened the door of the mourning hall and walked out, when he bumped into someone.
The head of the Xin family looked at the visitor and sighed, "Don't you even give me time to say goodbye to the Xin family?"
Xu Ran looked at the head of the Xin family. In fact, he wanted to kill him immediately many times. If it weren't for the Xin family, how could his father die?
But this anger was quickly suppressed by Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian said softly: "When a person is about to die, his words are also good."
Xu Ran remained silent.
The head of the Xin family looked at Gu Xiaotian and suddenly thanked him: "Gu Xiaotian, thank you for preserving the last incense of the Xin family."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter, not to mention that Xinxiang has already surrendered. It's reasonable for me to protect her."
The head of the Xin family asked: "Gu Xiaotian, do you really not want to know why our Xin family is doing this?"
Gu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, "Master Xin, since you said it, I believe you will tell me the answer."
The head of the Xin family nodded. At this time, he seemed to be more than ten years older. He was also a little unsteady. He slowly sat on the ground while holding on to the wall. He looked up at the sky above the Xin family and said, "Actually, now Looking back and thinking about it, I finally understand that everything seems to have changed since Xin Yue came back."
Gu Xiaotian frowned.
Xin Yue is Feiniao’s real name.
The head of the Xin family continued: "Xin Yue was imprisoned in Taibai before. Although our Xin family actually intends to go higher in the northern wilderness, we just want the Xin family to establish a firm foothold in the north in the future. But from now on I never thought about treason."
The head of the Xin family looked at Gu Xiaotian and suddenly chuckled: "I don't know if you will believe it, but it is true. Since Xin Yue returned to Beihuang, he initially helped the Xin family to eradicate several looming evil forces. The aristocratic family suppressed them all, which made me more and more optimistic about the future of the Xin family. It was precisely at this time that you came and Feng'er also showed his prowess. "
Looking back now, the Xin family leader should not have made any of the decisions he made at that time, nor should he have lost himself in a moment. Looking back on Feiniao's previous actions, he was actually painting a picture for himself. A big pie, let yourself dig in and jump in step by step.
Feiniao is the one who wants the Xin family to be destroyed the most.
"Gu Xiaotian, let me give you a piece of advice. I guess what my eldest daughter is thinking in her mind.
I have never figured it out in my whole life. Just join forces with her and do your best, but don't let your mind wander, otherwise my fate will be your fate in the future. "
"Xin Yue...how did I feel sorry for you as a father?"
After saying this, the head of the Xin family felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.
Gu Xiaotian thought for a while, but couldn't come up with the final answer.
Since Asuka came back from that battle, people have disappeared.
Of course Gu Xiaotian went to those basements to look for them, but the birds disappeared in Mobei as if they had evaporated from the world, without a trace.
Putting this question aside for the time being, Gu Xiaotian raised his hands to the head of the Xin family and said: "The head of the Xin family, I think you have made contributions to the current dynasty, I respect you as a hero, and it is not an exaggeration to call you an elder. But some things are better than These are all important, and there is no saying that meritorious service can offset your mistakes, so you must always distinguish right from wrong, otherwise you will not be able to give an explanation to the world."
The head of the Xin family nodded calmly, touched the threshold of the mourning hall, and asked softly: "Can you let me decide how to die?"
Gu Xiaotian looked at Xu Ran, waiting for her to make a decision.
Xu Ran wanted to pick up a knife and cut off the head of the Xin family leader countless times, but looking at his decadent look, he still hesitated.
The head of the Xing family actually knew that only if he died in Xu Ran's hands would the people of Mobei City feel at ease, but at this moment, he just wanted to fight for the last time.
Seeing Xu Ran's hesitant look, the head of the Xing family smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry. After I die, it doesn't matter if my body is paraded through the streets or thrown into the forest to be eaten by wolves."
"I don't deserve to be buried in the ground."
Xu Ran nodded and placed the knife next to the head of the Xin family.
Looking at the knife, the head of the Xing family laughed twice, picked it up, and finally reached out to touch the pillar next to the ancestral hall. Tears slowly formed in his eyes, and he kissed the pillar affectionately.
After that, he slowly raised the knife in his hand, looked up to the sky and shouted: "All the ancestors of the Xing family, the unfilial descendant Xingyong, are here!"
The long knife fell to the ground with a clang sound.
The head of the Xing family fell in a pool of blood.
There was silence.
No one will feel sorry for the head of the Xing family, and no one will sympathize with the head of the Xing family. The Xing family is in the situation they are in now, and it is their own fault.
Xu Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, and most of the anger in her heart had been eliminated. She slowly walked to the head of the Xing family and picked up the long knife, her hands trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaotian just walked to Xu Ran silently, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Let's do it. The Xu family should have an explanation if they want to establish a foothold in Mobei in the future."
Xu Ran hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and cut off the head of the Xing family leader.
Several people walked out of the mansion without speaking to each other. Xu Ran was still holding a head wrapped in a cloth bag in his hand.
Passing through the most prosperous street in Mobei City, there was blood dripping. Many people would inevitably scream when they saw this, but after taking a closer look, they realized that it was Gu Xiaotian and his group, and they immediately followed behind.
Arriving at the place where Xingfeng was beheaded that day, Qiu Feng made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Ran nodded, slowly walked up to the top, raised the head in his hand, and said loudly: "The head of the Xing family, Xing Yong, has been executed by Xu Ran today. In the future, I, the Xu family, will jointly govern Mobei with General Qiu, please people." Peace of mind!"
Her voice was booming.
Deafening!
