There is half a piece of silk on the loom, which looks particularly gorgeous.
At the feet of the old woman, a small dog curled up in the sun lazily. He didn't notice that someone was approaching outside the hospital.
Xu Yi walked into the courtyard and said, "I'm always in charge. Are you all right?"
The loom suddenly stopped and an old voice came: "Xu Moxia, you're finally here. It's really good for me to wait."
The old man's voice is hollow and harsh, like the night owl's neighing, and seems to come from Jiuyou hell to judge the sins of the world.
"Yes, I'm here. Don't you just want me to come?"
Xu didn't want to explain, but took out the incomplete corner of his clothes from his pocket and threw it in front of the old woman.
"It's worthy of Xu Moxia. If you really didn't disappoint me, it's a pity that you escaped this time. I'm not willing."
The little dog stood up and looked at Xu Yi with vigilance. At this time, the old woman slowly turned around and showed her old master's face.
However, her face was extremely frightening. She was short and thin, over the age of seventy, covered with snow-white, and her face was covered with terrible wrinkles, like twisted old bark.
In addition, there were seven ferocious knife wounds on her face, twisted all over her face, as if a centipede were climbing.
What's more impressive is that her bright eyes can't see any emotional expression, but they can reach the depths of the people's heart, which makes people shudder.
The most important thing is that the old leader is actually a woman.
And it can be seen that she is not from the Central Plains, nor from the western countries, but from the Xinluo people in the East.
It's not hard to hear that she and Xu Yi are old acquaintances, but their relationship is not as friendly as expected.
Xu Yi seems to have a lot of fear about her attitude.
According to common sense, Xu Yi is not even afraid of the Yulong gang. How can he be afraid of being in charge of the family?
But anyone who knows that she is in charge of the family is in awe of her. Even the five doors and seven hopes, princes and nobles are quite afraid of her.
Because the old head of the family was originally a handmaid who paid tribute to the kingdom of Xinluo during the reign of emperor Wuhuang. She should have died in the palace, but she didn't know who she had offended. Someone destroyed her face and was sent out of the palace in the early year of Kaiyuan.
But she did not perish. Instead, she managed her own strength in Chang'an by means of extraordinary means, and gradually became an old leader in the dark world that everyone feared, just like the second Wu Emperor alive.
In the dark world of Chang'an, she is the absolute king. No one dares to disobey her orders. Liu Wulang's biggest backer is the old leader's support.
And pingkang's excellent tricks are all under her control.
Because she knows very well that if she wants to live in Chang'an, she must have enough chips, so those Youji goddess will inquire about their secrets while dressing noble people, and then report to the old master.
In Chang'an, no one knows more secrets than the old boss. Even Xu Yi is subject to her.
"You're always in charge. You're really good at calculating. Now that I'm here, please put Bai Yan back."
Every word the old boss said made Xu Yi feel scared and even afraid. If he expected it right, the bodies he saw in Liu Ji's car and horse shop were deliberately let him see after the old boss killed the door.
Her purpose is to plant it for Xu Yi.
Unfortunately, the old leader didn't expect that Xu Yi would gallop past. There was an error in time, and the bad people didn't arrive in time, so he escaped.
However, in the view of the old leader, if Xu Yi is even unfair, how can he fight her for many years? So after she slaughtered Liu Ji's car and horse shop, she deliberately asked people to leave the corner of the clothes and led Xu Yi to come to her on his own initiative.
Now Xu Yiguo is really here.
The old master smiled grimly and said sadly: "in the 16th year of Kaiyuan, you and Su Raner entered Chang'an and were lonely and dying of a serious illness in the street. Su Raner came to beg for the old man and didn't hesitate to sell him as a slave. He just asked for alms to save your life."
"However, you Xu Moxia are also kind and righteous. After you came back to life, you forced me to release Su Raner. Su Raner also said that you died and she died, forcing me to promise to let her be an advocate of performing arts instead of a goddess of prostitution."
"Over the past 13 years, you have tried your best to redeem Su Ran'er and earned the name of Xu Moxia. Even the old man admires you."
"But you're wrong. You're too benevolent and have offended too many enemies. Who doesn't have a death grudge against you? Who doesn't want to kill you and then hurry?"
"You have damaged the interests of the old man. You still have to pay for it, but you can't see it behind closed doors. I have no choice but to use some means. Please come and see the old man in person."
"But I didn't expect that you would beg for Su Raner's freedom. Since then, I have become innocent. Unexpectedly, it's for Bai Yan. Aren't you afraid of her sadness?"
The old master stroked the fine dog's hair, slowly told the facts, and said all the gratitude and resentment between her and Xu Yi.
As she said, in order to save Xu Yi, Su Ran'er was desperate. She volunteered to sell herself to the old master and became Su advocate of Lianxiang Pavilion.
Over the years, Xu Yi has made too many efforts to redeem Su Ran'er, but he can't let go of benevolence and righteousness. He never shows mercy to those ferocious people.
Most of the evil people in Chang'an have a direct relationship with the old leader, which will inevitably provoke the old leader and damage the interests of the old leader, and the hatred will be deeper and deeper.
For example, in the shanty town just now, the strong man who rushed to kill him once fell on Xu Yi's hand and was designed to cut off an arm, so his eyes were real names, so there was great hatred.
There are many people like strong men who are always in charge here.
That's why Su Raner doesn't let Xu Yi see his old master and doesn't let him provoke Liu Wulang,
Because they have enmity, but because of their special interests, they maintain a delicate balance, which is regarded as turning a blind eye to each other. But once the balance is broken, even if Xu Yi is Xu Moxia of Chang'an, it is difficult to bear the anger of the old leader. Their interests also lie with Su Raner, because Su Raner said that if being in charge of the family is bad for Xu Yi, she will kill herself immediately.
However, Su Raner has a special identity. Although she is an advocate living in Beiqu, she has attracted countless dignitaries to stop by virtue of her piano skills and dancing posture. She is regarded as a cash cow of the old family.
This is also the reason why she has a special identity and doesn't have to be subject to the deed of betrayal, let alone look at the fake mother's face and go in and out of pingkang square freely.
Of course, the old leader is not worried about her escape, because she has sold herself as a slave. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, it is a great crime for a slave to deceive the Lord. However, if a slave or maid escapes illegally, he will issue a sea arrest document as long as he reports it to the government. Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will be sentenced to death.
Moreover, the old head of the family has a strange character. No matter what she does, she always keeps up with her interests. Even if she has a deep hatred with her, as long as she pays a sufficient price, she can not abandon her past grievances, nor can she release Su Raner.
However, whenever Xu Yi harmed her interests, she would increase the chips to release Su Raner. After so many years of accumulation, the chips to redeem herself were already unimaginable.
In other words, it is difficult for Xu Yi to redeem Su Raner, so Li Shouli's request for release and exemption will make him unable to refuse.
At that time, Xu Yi pondered. After a moment, he clenched his teeth and said, "there's nothing to bring to the old master today. He can only give the old master a favor. It's an apology."
The old master grinned and showed his sparse teeth, which seemed more penetrating, and then stretched out two fingers: "how can one person be enough? At least two!"
Xu Yi's two sword eyebrows frowned tightly, but he was silent and didn't speak. He only looked at the old master tightly and didn't mean to let go. Even after thinking about it, he suddenly changed his mouth and said, "just one, it's always meat."
Xu Yi was surprised that the old leader promised so readily. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say much.
Soon after the voice fell, close footsteps suddenly came from outside the hospital. More than 30 people came in one after another, all of them ferocious and strong men, tall, thin, short, fat, old and young, but all wearing white shirts and short coats.
There are several faces among them. Xu Yi saw them not long ago on his way here.
It is not difficult to see that these more than 30 men are all under the old head of the family.
Those people walked into the yard and stood in two rows. Their faces were facing Xu Yi, like soldiers on the battlefield, waiting for the general's review.
"Xu Moxia, please let them go."
Xu Yi's eyes were complex. Looking at the more than 30 faces, his eyelids could not help shaking slightly. Although the more than 30 people were all ferocious people, they had nothing to do with him, let alone the slightest hatred.
But in order to save Bai Yan, he had to send one of them on the road and become a floating corpse in the ditch tomorrow, with innocent blood on his hands.
This kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself is inconsistent with his benevolence, righteousness and morality, but she has to have so many psychological obstacles.
He didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of him. Even if the other party is a villain, it will be a human life.
Seeing that Xu Yichi didn't do it, the old master said, "Xu Moxia, if you can't do it, we might as well talk again."
Xu Yi's eyelids trembled and murmured, "how can we talk?"
"I heard that you have received a big deal in recent days, haven't you?"
Xu Yi was silent, but he didn't deny it.
The old master turned around and continued to shuttle the lead: "hehe, I invite you to come today. I also want to do business with you. If you can promise me, the little white lady will be unharmed. I'll send you out of Chang'an when it's done. From then on, I'll be happy in the Jianghu."
I have to say that the bait given by the old leader is very tempting to Xu Yi, because Chang'an knows that he has a concubine relationship with Bai yanlang, but it's hard to explain his identity.
But as long as they get rid of the Yulong gang and get out of this Chang'an City, they are free. Birds fly in the sky and fish jump in the sea. Who can help them?
