142 [Boiled Eagle]
"You want me to betray the girl?"
The hesitation on Aunt Leng's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn look as cold as thousand years of ice.
Pei Yue was not surprised by the change in her attitude, because now he knew the affairs of the Chen family very well. Back then, the Chen family was very wealthy and had countless loyal subordinates, such as the eight hundred tiger warriors who fought to the death between the mountains and the capital camp.
Such as the Aunt Leng in front of her. When Chen Qingchen was alive, Aunt Leng was her personal maid, and later became someone Chen Xizhi trusted very much, second only to Uncle Yu who committed suicide.
If Aunt Leng can be made to let go, Chen Xizhi will no longer have any secrets, and all her movements will fall into Pei Yue's control.
"People must learn to make trade-offs. There are not so many good things in this world that have the best of both worlds."
Facing Aunt Leng's sharp gaze, Pei Yue spoke calmly.
On one side is Chen Xizhi, who was brought up by himself. This is the only surviving bloodline of the Chen family.
On one side is the peach blossom, which is her biological daughter and her only child.
Such a choice is very difficult for anyone. Even though Aunt Leng has gone through many vicissitudes of life, she still cannot make a hasty choice. At this moment, she hates the handsome young man in front of her with that handsome face.
The handsome face looked very ferocious and cold in her eyes.
If possible, she would like to kill him with one sword.
But she didn't dare to move.
Although Ye Qi sat quietly, her gaze made it clear to Aunt Leng that even if she and the boatman attacked at the same time, they would not be able to take advantage of Ye Qi. She had been in the mountains for more than ten years and watched Chen Xizhi cut him off with a knife.
With hundreds of trees, it becomes more difficult to improve your martial arts skills as you go forward. Ye Qi is three years younger than Chen Xizhi and has less training time, but she defeated Chen Xizhi in several competitions.
Some people are born geniuses.
After her thoughts changed, Aunt Leng shook her head firmly and said: "I cannot agree to your request."
Pei Yue said simply and neatly: "In this case, there is no need to talk between you and me. For Ye Qi's sake, I will treat you as if you have never been here today. Next time you come closer to inquire, I will not show mercy. Don't say anything."
It was unforeseen."
He turned to look at Ye Qi and said, "Will you come back with me, or come back later?"
Ye Qi smiled, and Pei Yue's respect for her made her feel very happy, so she said softly: "I will go back with you."
"etc!"
Aunt Leng suddenly spoke. She knew that the young man in front of her had a decisive character. If she let him leave today, I'm afraid there would be no chance for discussion in the future.
Facing Pei Yue's confused eyes, Aunt Leng said with humiliation: "Except for this matter, I can agree to all other conditions."
Pei Yue shook his head and said, "I have no other requirements."
Aunt Leng said: "I can help you kill people!"
Pei Yue laughed and said: "I forced you to kill someone? What's the difference between me and Chen Xizhi? What will Taohua think of me then? Since you don't want to betray Chen Xizhi, I won't force you, but don't appear in front of me again.
.If Taohua wants to find you one day, I will not stop her, but between you and me, she can only choose one."
He glanced at Ye Qi and saw that the girl did not show any alienation, so he continued: "I don't look at the identity and status of the person I make friends with, only what he has done. If you want revenge, even if you kill Wang Pingzhang
I wouldn't mind if she was chopped into pieces, but Chen Xizhi has too much innocent blood on her hands, so I want her to die."
"If you choose to side with her, you are standing against me. In this case, you and I are enemies, so what else is there to talk about?"
Pei Yue's words made Aunt Leng's heart fall into an ice cave.
She said slowly and unconvincingly: "Is this why you want to kill the girl? I don't believe it, maybe you just want to get more credit. I checked your identity, you are a bastard, and you want to go to
It’s hard to climb up, so I will seize every opportunity I can take advantage of.”
If it were anyone else, they might immediately deny it and clear themselves up.
Ye Qi's brows frowned slightly.
Pei Yue seemed not to notice, and said confidently: "She is a thief. Isn't it natural for me to use her head in exchange for credit? Doing something serious is said to be ambitious to climb up. In your opinion, no matter what you do,
You have to be selfless? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Pei Yue, don't be so rude."
Ye Qi looked at him helplessly, then turned to Aunt Leng and said sternly: "Leng Ning, for the sake of our past friendship, please pay attention to your words. I know better than you what kind of person Pei Yue is. If he
He is the kind of villain who is lucky enough to come in. Do you think he will sit here and discuss it with you? If he threatens you with Taohua's life, will you comply or not?"
Leng Ning was stunned when he heard the words. After a moment, his face was full of defeat, and he smiled miserably: "It's me who acted like a villain. I have lived for so long and am not as good as your child. That's all, Mr. Pei, I made a mistake. I can't help you.
I just hope you don’t vent your anger on Taohua.”
Pei Yue said calmly: "This is a trivial matter. I don't have such a small amount of courage."
The reason why he didn't let Chen Xizhi go, in addition to the reasons mentioned before, was that this woman was a lunatic, and he didn't want to be plotted by her again. In fact, Chen Xizhi's plots never stopped at all, such as handing over the pamphlet to
On the surface, he wanted to exchange for ten capable men, but in fact, he also wanted to use Pei Yue to continue to disrupt Daliang Chaotang.
However, it was difficult for Pei Yue to refuse, because the things in this booklet were very important to him. It could not only solve troubles like Pei Rong, but also have an unexpected trump card effect, which might come in handy at some point.
If people like Chen Xizhi continue to be allowed to spin conspiracies, Pei Yue does not want to become a prey in her web one day.
However, after he skillfully used his negotiation skills and suppressed several temptations, Leng Ning was clearly on the verge of collapse.
At this time, Pei Yue said calmly: "You are Taohua's mother. This little girl has always been loyal to me. For her sake, I will take a step back. You don't have to fight Chen Xizhi, but you must tell what you know about
Everything about her tells me, and you must tell me what plans she has in the future."
Leng Ning hesitated very hard.
Pei Yue said: "I promise you three things. First, except for Chen Xizhi, I will try my best to save the lives of everyone else in the mountain. Second, I will help you get revenge, but I can only try to do this. After all, Wang Pingzhang is not
An ordinary person. Third, after catching Chen Xi, you can get to know Taohua. Before that, you can see Taohua once a month."
"Although I am very patient, I don't want to waste too much time here. You'd better make a decision quickly."
The cabin is extremely quiet.
After a while, Leng Ning finally nodded with difficulty and slowly.
But when she was about to speak, Pei Yue stopped her and said, "You don't have to say it. Please write it down and show it to Ye Qi before she passes it to me."
At this point, Leng Ning no longer had the confidence to negotiate terms.
After breaking through that bottom line, subsequent concessions will follow the trend.
Pei Yue had no expression on his face, but he was relieved in his heart.
How to deal with the problem of Taohua and her mother was not that simple for him, and it took a lot of thinking these days. Fortunately, after a wave of twists and turns, things progressed in the direction he had planned.
