The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 198

There are shadows hidden under the sun, which makes people feel nervous.

The bright moon uncovers the shadows in the night, making people feel at peace.

When people are at peace, they will always be unable to control their wandering thoughts, and memories of the past, hesitation about the present, and imagination about the future will follow.

Mr. Tinglan couldn't help recalling the prosperity of the Huo family in the past, and thought in his heart: "If Mingyue has a heart, maybe she will also sympathize with the Huo family's experience back then?"

Perhaps these words buried in the bottom of my heart have never been mentioned to others, but tonight under the blue sky and bright moon, I have talked too much with this young man.

But for some reason, as long as the young man asked, I couldn't help but answer. Is it because I have some relationship with him?

With her lips slightly parted, she slowly opened her mouth and said: "The five allies killed by the Huo family back then were all collaborators and traitors. This is a special period, and the situation is critical. In order to maintain the stability of Zhongzhou, the Huo family only We can kill first and play later. However, although these five people have high positions in their respective sects, they are not the real behind-the-scenes masters. They can go to the opposite side of thousands of creatures in Zhongzhou in the dark. There are people in the same sect who are behind the support."

"Collaboration with the enemy and treason?!"

This result is not difficult to guess, but after knowing the more definite answer, he can't help being surprised and uncertain, and for Jiang Yichen, the doubts were greater than the surprises.

Why did they collude with the enemy and treason?

Master Tinglan quickly gave the answer.

"When the general situation is volatile, those who are used to a stable life feel that their lives are threatened. In order to escape the sudden heavy pressure and survive in the world, they will find another way and take a crooked path."

Jiang Yichen felt sad, the answer was always so pale and heavy.

Survival, for the sake of these two words, how many people will humbly sell their souls, no matter relatives, friends or brothers and sisters, as long as they hinder their survival, they will not hesitate to push them into the quagmire and use them as pedals out of trouble.

This is true for people around them, and for those they don't know well, they never take it seriously.

People are not for themselves, is it really heaven and earth?

"So, the sects behind those five people worked together to create a situation for the Huo family?"

"To be precise, some members of the five sects acted in collusion and secretly tripped the Huo family, but the Huo family had already taken precautions against their tricks, and the soldiers came to cover them up. As long as the five sects dare not stand in the open The Huo family will never be overthrown overnight."

"That's right, what hangs on the head is more or less a false name, and the foundation of a family's strength is the foundation of a family. No matter how famous the Huo family has accumulated for a hundred years, it will not become vulnerable in just a year or two. .”

"That's the problem."

After listening to Mr. Lan's explanation, Jiang Yichen suddenly realized that the rumors in the rivers and lakes all ended in the entanglement between the five sects and the Huo family. Therefore, the Daoyi League who stood by the Huo family mistakenly thought that the five sects were secretly The trick was to use the help of the Oirat migratory locust army to raze the Huo family to the ground, but they didn't know that there was something tricky hidden in it.

"The real reason?"

"It can only be a fire in the backyard."

"The Huo family also produced collaborators and traitors?!"

"It's not easy to be united, but this person can't be regarded as a member of the Huo family. He just works in the Huo family after being favored by the Huo family for many years."

Jiang Yichen was astonished, because he could tell that there was only one traitor Ting Lan mentioned.

Young Master Ting Lan seemed to know why Jiang Yichen was shocked, and continued: "It's unbelievable to say, but the fact is that he overthrew the entire Huo family by himself."

Jiang Yichen said: "Is this person a high position in the Huo family?"

Mr. Tinglan said: "It is always difficult for a person with a different surname to have a high status in his family. To be able to be the chief steward is already deeply trusted."

Jiang Yichen said: "But this person is not the big housekeeper."

Young Master Ting Lan said: "No."

Jiang Yichen said: "If you are not a great steward, but can affect the survival of a family, then this person must take on a certain position in this family, and this position must be closely related to everyone's life."

Master Tinglan said: "The head chef happens to be such a role."

Jiang Yichen said: "Sure enough, it is hard to guard against family thieves, big and small disasters are all disasters at the entrance. It is the most difficult thing to succeed in food, but this person is deeply trusted by the Huo family. Moreover, he should It was after staying in the Huo family for many years that they tore open a hole in an extremely critical link."

Mr. Tinglan said: "Being able to hold the position of head chef has been at Huo's family for at least ten years. It is said that this person's parents died when he was young. In his early years, he did odd jobs in a small restaurant. I learned it secretly from my teacher."

Jiang Yichen said: "Stealing a teacher? It seems that he is not happy in the restaurant."

Mr. Tinglan said: "Of course, the restaurant is run by a poor couple who rely on this craft to make a living, how could they teach a small handyman the skills of housekeeping.

The husband and wife themselves have extremely bad tempers, and they quarreled every day. They couldn't beat their three young children, so they greeted him with fists and kicks, and vented their anger on him.

He is a cheap laborer. In order to survive, he can endure ten slaps and ten kicks for one steamed bun for a meal.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, without any resistance.

The result of this is that the couple in the restaurant intensified him, and their three children also beat and scolded him when they were a little older.

By chance, he hugged Master Huo's leg.

Seeing the scars on his body and the bad words from the restaurant family, the master of the Huo family bought him out of pity and took him back to the Huo family.

Fast forward more than ten years, he became the head chef in the Huo family, in charge of feeding more than a hundred people in the mansion, and with this convenience, he personally buried the Huo family. "

Jiang Yichen said: "There is no gratitude in this person's heart."

Mr. Tinglan said: "When the weather is calm, he naturally knows how to be grateful. He has always been honest, honest, kind and amiable in the hearts of the Huo family. But when it comes to survival, there is nothing he can't sell."

Jiang Yichen said: "It seems that Oala's spies or people from the five sects approached him. He betrayed not only the Huo family, but also the entire Zhongzhou."

Mr. Tinglan said: "No, a person who knows how to climb high branches, not only has good vision, but also sees far. What he has done is far superior to collaborating with the enemy and treason. In his opinion, Zhongzhou is only in a temporary decline, and will not be in the future. He was destroyed in this catastrophe, so after betraying the Huo family, he quickly betrayed the Oala army, and he was recognized as a minister of great merit!"

Jiang Yichen said in shock: "A minister of great merit!?"

Mr. Tinglan said: "The one who helps Zhongzhou to put down the chaos of foreign barbarians can't be regarded as a minister of great merit?"

Jiang Yichen was puzzled and said: "But since he is optimistic about Zhongzhou, why did he push the Huo family to the guillotine?"

Mr. Tinglan said: "The situation was critical at that time. He knew that the Huo family would not back down no matter what. If he was tied to the Huo family, he could only live and die with the Huo family and Jinzhou City. He wanted to save his life. , must sever justice with Huo Jiaen."

Jiang Yichen said: "Who is the minister who made great contributions?"

Jiang Yichen had vaguely guessed the result in his heart, but he still couldn't help but ask each other.

Mr. Tinglan said: "Wisdom has contributed to helping Zhongzhou fight against the barbarians, so naturally there is a place for him in the temple."
