People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 857: Grudges are hard to get rid of

There was a moment of silence on the plank road, with only the rustling sound of Nian climbing up from the valley again.

Shang Zhong blushed and argued: "Zheng Qingyue, what I just said..."

"I know."

Zheng Qingyue nodded and didn't let Shang Zhong say it again.

But Shang Zong gritted his teeth and continued with his neck stiff:

"I know you understand, but this is not something that can be explained directly. I have a grudge in my heart that I can't swallow!"

"I know."

Zheng Qingyue nodded again.

His eyes were calm as he moved away from Shang Zhong and swept across everyone present. He stayed briefly on Du Yaoye and finally stopped on Qi Yan.

A standard bow.

Zheng Qingyue said respectfully to Qi Yan: "Master Qi, I have understood. I hope you can return the Frost Blade. I can die. My only wish is to be accompanied by this Frost Blade until the end."

Frost Blade was thrown.

Zheng Qingyue took a step forward and took the sword that had accompanied him for many years.

The blade made a slight sound as it swayed in the scabbard, as if responding to the return of an old friend.

"Shang Zhong, on that rainy night, I abandoned many escort agents in the escort agency to protect the goods."

The frost blade was unsheathed, reflecting the swordsman's face.

"But in the end, you failed to protect the goods, and you failed to preserve the reputation of the escort agency."

The blue bamboo was pulled out from the stone, and the slightly damaged end was pointed at the frost knife in front of him.

In the early spring, in the mountains, the morning light is just breaking and the stars are dim.

At the darkest moment between heaven and earth, two figures took attacking stances.

"What are you two going to do!?"

A loud and angry shout came between the two of them.

Du Yaoye was a little confused about what the two old guys were so stubborn about, and he didn't understand why they wanted to fight to the death as soon as they met.

"Ye'er, get out of the way." Zheng Qingyue said in a deep voice.

"In this situation, you want me to get out of the way?" Du Yaoye asked angrily, "If someone wants to kill me, will you get out of the way?"

Zheng Qingyue's breathing stagnated.

"You are Du Yaoye?" Shang Zhong suddenly said, "You have grown up so big."

When Du Yaoye heard Shang Zhong's words, he turned around, his face becoming even angrier:

"Master Shang... No, traitor Shang Zong, I have heard about you."

Shang Zhong: “…”

Du Yaoye turned around and faced Shang Zhong: "When the escort agency changed its business, you left with a knife and became a traitor to the escort agency. Since then, you have settled in the mountains and have been hiding from the world.

It seems that you have been hiding until now just waiting for my father to come up the mountain."

Shang Zhong lowered his eyes slightly, but continued in the same tone:

"Since you know all this, did you know that among the escorts that Zheng Qingyue gave up, there was my son and your biological father!

Since then, Zheng Qingyue even turned a blind eye to the decline of the escort agency and tried to escape failure, did you know?

Later, your mother also left Shangshu and returned to her hometown. Du Yaoye, do you know all this? "

Shang Zhong's words did not change Du Yaoye's expression at all.

She stared at Shang Zhong and said, "Who do you think I am? Do you think I really grew up in a greenhouse like a fool as the outside world has said?

I know everything about my parents, and I know better than you what Old Man Zheng has done and how he did it over the years!"

Shangzhong was silent.

Du Yaoye raised his chin and continued bluntly:

"I can't stand what he has done over the years. You said he was escaping and being a coward, and I think so too.

But what about you? In my opinion, it is true that you have resentment in your heart and hate Old Man Zheng, but you are so persistent in trapping yourself in that rainy night, which is extremely stupid in my opinion!"

"My son back then..."

"My father was gone too!"

Du Yaoye interrupted Shang Zhong's argument, his eyes reddened: "Should I just leave the escort agency without caring about anything and show my hatred for him? Should we disband the escort agency with so many people and escort masters and go our separate ways?

Shang Zhong, let me tell you, whether it is the escort agency in the past or the tavern now, sooner or later it will all be owned by the surname Du. I will be responsible for all those who are still making a living under me!

Don't compare me with a traitor like you. You are happy to take revenge, but have you ever thought about what the escort agency is based on? It's reputation!"

Shang Zhong opened his mouth and gritted his teeth and said:

"I said, I'm not blaming Zheng Qingyue's decision, I'm just..."

"You just what? You just mocked him for running away while you chose to run away yourself?"

Du Yaoye stepped forward, pointed at Shang Zhong's nose and loudly rebuked:

"I also can't stand the current style of Mr. Zheng. He is so slick and sophisticated, looking for so-called nobles everywhere, and currying favor with the so-called background and backers.

But I will not just throw my sleeves away and hide away to feel sorry for myself. If you do not agree with Old Man Zheng's decision, then gather people who agree with you, openly oppose his decision, and help the escort agency make positive changes. We should solve our own affairs behind closed doors.

Look at you now, you are making a scene in front of so many people, is this what you want?"

Shang Zhong was speechless and couldn't utter a single word.

The people around us looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Liang Xun touched his chin and sighed sincerely:

"Ms. Du's usual stubbornness and willfulness actually deceived everyone. Her thoughts are not something that ordinary people can control."

Qi Yan came close to him, folded his arms and said confidently:

"Her stubbornness and willfulness are definitely not fake."

Liang Xun couldn't help but chuckled and nodded: "Yes, thank you Mr. Qi Yan for your enlightenment. Liang just made a mistake by accident."

Qi Yan:?

I was just expressing my opinion, how did that count as awakening you?

On the other side, Shang Zhong was so lost in thought that the carrying pole in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

Zheng Qingyue was even more dumbfounded, looking at his daughter who was standing in front of him in surprise.

He never imagined that the little girl who had always been protected under his wings had grown up to this point without him noticing.

"Okay, okay, let's just talk it out. Harmony brings wealth."

Lao Li stepped forward to smooth things over at the right time: "The person is gone, and the grudges are hard to forget, but we who are still alive should always look forward, right?"

Shang Zhong was silent for a moment, and finally responded with a light hum, put away his carrying pole, stepped aside and began to shut himself in.

Lao Li looked at Zheng Qingyue with a gentle smile that contained a hint of pleading.

Zheng Qingyue hurriedly bowed to Lao Li, but finally looked at Qi Yan, waiting for Qi Yan to make a decision.

Du Yaoye's scolding also shocked him, but he was still Zheng Qingyue, and he knew that the only person present who had the power to decide the direction of events was Qi Yan.

"Why are you looking at me? You don't really think I care about your family matters, do you?"

Qi Yan smiled and shrugged: "It's just that I opened the small gift that someone carefully prepared in advance and gave it to the other two...oh, another person."

Qi Yan turned his head and looked at Xi.

Xi blinked, shook her head and sighed:

"I've seen it. Humans... are really fickle and hard to understand. They are two people who clearly care about each other, but because of those emotions, fellow disciples kill each other, brothers turn against each other, and their love, hate, and vengeance are entangled and gradually become distorted."

Xi's comments made Taihe and others present feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes, they also think that these giant beasts are fickle and difficult to understand.

As a result, they never dreamed that this situation would occur on both sides.

The beasts cannot understand humans, and humans cannot understand the beasts either.

Liang Xun and Taihe looked at each other secretly and saw the doubts in each other's hearts.

Behemoths and humans are not of the same species, so it is understandable that they cannot understand each other. Then...why can Qi Yan walk harmoniously between the two camps and be accepted by both sides at the same time?
