It was getting late, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. The dim sky and the continuous rain made the big house feel oppressive in people's hearts.
Inside the carriage…
Liu Shen closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Even the hand holding the knife trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of excitement!
It’s excitement…
In the past few years as a porter at the pier, he has seen too much evil in human nature. During this trip, he has used the greatest degree of malice to speculate on a father's calculations about his own daughter...
But he really didn't expect that he still underestimated Pei Yingli!
The sense of shame caused by wrong guessing, the excitement of being in danger, and the disgusting feeling of refreshing his understanding of human nature were intertwined, licking every nerve in him like tongues of fire, making his body excited. All a little trembling...
Well…great! !
Seeing his posture, Pei Xueyan seemed to have realized something. She held the corners of her clothes with her bare hands, and the knuckles she pinched turned a little white...
She bit her lower lip with red eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Liu Shen, I...was I betrayed by my father again?"
"..."
Liu Shen didn't know how to answer her, so he just smiled and said: "Master Pei is a man who does great things. He has taught us all a lesson!"
He smiled as he spoke, lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely unscrew the heads of such heroes..."
As his words fell, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the cloudy sky outside, and that flash of light tore the night apart like a giant hand...
The sky was dim and bright for a moment. Although the time was short, it was extremely bright.
The falling raindrops seem a bit bigger...
Outside the carriage…
Yu Shan also realized that something was wrong, but there were people on both sides of the carriage, and like sheep being herded into a pen, the carriage and horses were being driven into the house in front of them.
When Hu Da saw his territory, he jumped out of the carriage wearing a bamboo hat and stretched his body. Then he waved to the person in the hall to bring him an oil-paper umbrella...
He walked to the carriage behind with an oil-paper umbrella and said with a smile: "Young lady, we are here. It is raining outside, and I have prepared an umbrella for you."
"..."
When Yu Shan saw him beside him, he just lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. Except for putting his hand under the splint, he looked like a harmless groom...
Pei Xueyan's voice also came from the carriage: "Where is my father?"
"You mean Mr. Pei?"
Hu laughed and said, "He also left us with the business of entertaining the young lady. It's raining today, so Master Pei should still be at home warming up on the kang."
"entertain?"
Pei Xueyan asked: "What kind of reception?"
"We have everything we should have..."
Before Hu Da could speak, Hu Er, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "It's just that the conditions here are relatively simple, and they are definitely not as good as those of the Song family. I may have to aggrieve the young mistress."
"Hehehe..."
A burst of miserable laughter came from the carriage, and he asked: "I want to ask, did my biological father sell me to you?"
"..."
Hu Da and Hu Er both had strange expressions on their faces when they heard this. They looked at each other, obviously not expecting Pei Xueyan to ask such a question so straightforwardly...
"good."
Hu Da nodded slightly...
Seeing that the young lady of the Song family could ask such a question, he thought she was a sensible person, so he didn't bother to pretend, and said bluntly: "Pei Yingli made a business deal with me."
"Young Madam is from our Xiyang County, and I have probably heard of the Qianye Clan. I, Hu Da, am a leader of the Qianye Clan. This time I have taken on a private job."
"Pei Yingli told me about the young mistress. He also said that the young mistress guarding the Song family's huge business alone will only benefit outsiders in the end, and it is better to leave it to the family."
"It is said that tigers are poisonous and will not eat their seeds, but that old man is so cruel that people like me can't stand it, so I was very respectful to the young mistress along the way and never took a step forward..."
"But after taking over the business, you have to do it, right?"
Hu Da said with a pretentious sigh, and then said: "And we have reached such a situation, it is no good if we don't do it. The young lady is a smart person, and she should know what to do to her benefit."
"I, Hu Da, don't have that much thought, so I just speak out."
"If Young Madam is happy and cooperates with us to transfer the Song family's property, Young Madam will be my guest, Mr. Hu, from now on..."
"If the young lady has any grudges against the Pei family, I, Hu Da, can guarantee that I will help the young lady sort out the Pei family."
"..."
Hu Da pretended that this was not his intention, and while sighing, he deliberately directed Pei Xueyan's hatred towards Pei Yingli...
He rambled on for a while, but no one in the carriage responded.
It's raining lightly outside...
Although Hu Da was wearing a bamboo hat, his body was still sticky from the rain. Seeing that the young lady of the Song family remained silent, he gradually lost his patience.
"Right now, Xiyang County is no better than my wife's Heyang County. If I want to use force, I just have to put more thought into it..."
He seemed to be regretful, but also seemed to be threatening. He chuckled: "And the young lady is still young and has many good years to enjoy. If she accidentally dies here, there won't be anyone to collect the body." None, that would be too unworthy, wouldn’t it?”
"..."
In the carriage, there was still no answer...
Hu Er, who was on the side, was already impatient, and said with a sneer: "You have come to this fucking point, and you still dare to show off to me!"
He was cursing and about to go forward and lift the door curtain on the carriage...
When Hu Da saw this, he did not stop him. He only sneered and said: "I have said both good and bad things. If the young mistress insists on trying Hu's method, then... she will be offended."
As soon as his sinister words fell, a bright flash of light suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by another thunder...
That flash was short-lived, but deadly!
In the rainy night, a sharp knife is like that fleeting flash of light. I don’t know where it started from, and I don’t know where it is going...
The water droplets dripping from the eaves of the carriage shed were split into two in the sad light of the sword. Almost at the same time, Hu Er's arm stretched out to lift the door curtain was also split into two!
Yu Shan pulled out the saber that had been hidden under the deck, and the light from the sword cut off Hu Er's arm, and he headed towards Hu Da who was standing beside him with unabated force!
He knows who has the highest cultivation level here, so his target from the beginning is Hu Da!
That arm was just incidental!
When Hu Da saw this change, his pupils shrank, and he almost subconsciously stood up and backed away. The oil-paper umbrella in his hand swept past like a sharp sword...
He misplaced the sudden sharp knife, and the blade passed in front of him. Although it did not touch the flesh, the sharp knife energy left a finger-long wound on his face...
When Yu Shan saw him retreating, he swept away his knife, turned the blade, and swiped it towards Hu Er beside him!
Hu Da is a third-level martial artist who has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his ability to respond to dangers is excellent. But Hu Er is only a second-level martial artist. He was suddenly attacked by a harmless horseman and lost an arm. The pain did not have time to reach him. His brain, he saw a flash of white light in front of his eyes again...
He stood there blankly, and the brief but bright white light seemed to be deeply imprinted in his eyes...
First there was a streak of blood on his neck, and then blood spurted out. He didn't have time to say a word until he fell to the ground and lost his life...
