It was New Year's Eve. It was snowing heavily in the morning, and there was no sign of stopping. The entire Divine Soldier City was covered in silver and looked beautiful.

In Yin Li's house in the north city of Shenbing City, four men and one woman stood there with their own thoughts.

Hong Yun, who was poisoned, suddenly felt chill all over her body. Her husband who loved her and her brother seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her at this moment. She wanted to tell herself that Hong Yu and Yuying would save her no matter what, but there was a voice in her heart saying that it was the treasure of the Cang clan. People from the two families had been thinking about it for so many years, how could they give up because of her?

Among the four families, the Yu family is best at poisoning. After Hong Yun married into the Yu family, she also learned poisoning. However, neither she nor Yu Ying could tell what poison she was. The reason why they came to Yin Li was because Yu Ying came up with an antidote, one of which was very rare. This Shentiao City is probably only available in the City Lord's Mansion, and Yin Li is the only person who has crossed the Ming Road in the Shentiao City and has a friendship with the City Lord.

But Hong Yun now knows that Yin Li wants her to die and is forcing Hong Yu and Yu Ying to make a decision...

"If you want to save that bitch, you have only one choice. Go to the Lord of Ajiu to ask for an antidote, but you should be very clear about what this means. Lord of Ajiu already knows our existence and knows that we have the key to the treasure house in our hands. Maybe she kindly will let you go, but don't think about the treasure." Yin Li said coldly.

A cold light flashed in Yang Jie's eyes. He glanced at Hong Yun, then sighed deeply, and said, "Although Brother Yin must let Sister Hong Yun die in order to avenge his personal revenge, but if you really can't relieve Sister Hong Yun's poison, you can only go to the city lord's mansion to ask for an antidote, you must think it through!"

Yang Jie's meaning is already very clear. It involves the interests of each of them, so he will never allow anyone to choose to surrender to the Lord of Ajiu at this time. Whoever dares to do what he shouldn't do will never stand by. In other words, if Hong Yu and Yu Ying decide to give up their treasures to save Hong Yun, Yang Jie will be the first to refuse!

Hong Yu asked Yuying with an ugly expression: "How confident are you to relieve Yun'er's poison?"

"If you find all the medicinal herbs, 40%." Yu Ying lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice. The antidote was just something he wanted to try, and he was not sure at all. And without medicinal herbs, the grasp was zero.

"How long will it take?" Hong Yu asked Yu Ying. He did not look at Hong Yun again. Hong Yun was still leaning on Yu Ying, and his face turned gray.

"At most, three days." Yu Ying said.

"Dad, mom!" Yu Zhi's voice suddenly sounded at the door, and a ray of light flashed in Hong Yun's eyes. When she turned around, she saw Yu Zhi walking in.

When Yang Jie saw that Yuzhi was holding a person in his hand, his eyes flashed slightly and he didn't say anything.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuzhi felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, and when she saw Hong Yun's face, her expression immediately changed, "Mom, who hurts you?"

"Zhieri..." Hong Yun's eyes flowed down as soon as she opened her mouth, "You must save your mother..."

"Is that blind man?" Yu Zhi looked cold and looked like an arrow. She looked at Yin Li and sneered, "Uncle Yin, what did you do to my mother? Save my mother immediately, otherwise I will take your dog slave out of nothing!"

Yin Li suddenly held the crutch in her hand and said sternly: "You dare!"

"The niece of the Yu family, things are not what you think." Yang Jie spoke, "Your mother was injured by the Lord of Ajiu and was also highly poisoned. If you can't find the antidote within three days, you will die."

When Hong Yu saw Xiao Zhuo unconscious and was lifted by Yu Zhi in his hand, his eyes flashed slightly and he said to Yin Li: "Yin Li, since you have already said it, don't blame us for being polite! If you want Xiao Zhuo's life, you can find a way to get Yun'er's antidote within three days. Otherwise, the little beggar you saved back then will leave you first!"

Now that things have come to this, Hong Yu has no meaning to Yin Li's false intentions, and Yu Zhi just caught Xiao Zhuo. For Hong Yu, this is an opportunity. If he wants to say which is more important to treasure or Hong Yun, he must choose one of them, Hong Yu will choose the former, but if both can be saved, he will of course seize the opportunity.

Yang Jie's expression moved slightly, looked at Xiao Zhuo, and still chose to remain silent. If it were him, he would definitely use Xiao Zhuo to threaten Yin Li with the key to the treasure house. However, this will not have much impact on Yang Jie's interests, because he doesn't want to break up with the Hong Yu family. As long as he holds Xiao Zhuo's life, he will first help Hong Yun find the antidote, and then force Yin Li to hand over the key, there is no problem.

The situation reversed instantly, and Xiao Zhuo probably didn't expect that he wanted to go to the Lord of Ajiu to report the news, but not long after he left the house, he met Yuzhi, and Yuzhi caught him back.

Now, Yang Jie, who seemed neutral, has stood on the side of Hong Yu's two families again. Hope appeared in Hong Yun's eyes. Hong Yu began to plan for her, and Yu Ying held her hand tightened again.

"You are too naive. When I go to Ajiucheng to find the main antidote, I will immediately reveal my identity. Don't talk about the antidote at that time, my life will be gone!" Yin Li said coldly. He had warned Xiao Zhuo before that Xiao Zhuo would hide away when he saw these people, but the thing he was most worried about still happened. Yin Li didn't know why Xiao Zhuo ran out and fell into Yu Zhi's hands. It would be meaningless to explore those things now.

"How could that be? Brother Yin was drinking the wine given by Lord Ajiu. Lord Ajiu is still treating Brother Yin's eyes. No matter how you look at it, Brother Yin has a good relationship with Lord Ajiu." Yang Jie smiled slightly and said, "I had doubted whether Brother Yin had defected to Lord Ajiu, but after thinking about it, it was not like that. Otherwise, how could we gather here now? Why don't we do this? Brother Yin handed over the key of the treasure house first and then went to find an antidote for Sister Hong Yun. In this way, if something happened to Brother Yin, there was no need to worry that the key would fall into the hands of outsiders."

Yin Li's heart sank, and Hong Yu and Yu Ying looked at each other. They all knew that Yang Jie was bound to win the treasure, and he had always been the cruelest among them, but he pretended to be very easy-going and uncontested on the surface.

"As Brother Yang said, it is the safest!" Hong Yu said, "Yin Li, hand over the key to the treasure house, and then go find an antidote for Yun'er. Otherwise, I will chop off Xiao Zhuo's head now!"

Yin Li suddenly laughed: "Do you think I am a fool? Leave the key to you and help that bitch find the antidote, what value do I have to use to you? Don't talk about Xiao Zhuo, you won't let me live, right? Since that's the result, you might as well do it now! See if I'm dead, can you find the treasure!"

Yang Jie's expression changed again and again: "Brother Yin, I can guarantee..."

"Please? It's ridiculous! Stop talking nonsense, I'm disgusting!" Yin Li said coldly, "You can kill Xiao Zhuo. I promise you that you will never see the shadow of the treasure in your life. It's useless to kill me, because I won't be so stupid that I will carry the key with you! Take action!"

The situation was in a stalemate. Hong Yu and Yang families all knew that Yin Li cares about Xiao Zhuo's life, but the key problem was that compared with the three of them, Yin Li, a blind man who had been alone for so many years, looked more willing to do anything and look like a madman. They all believed that if Yin Li was really forced into anger, they would definitely not be able to get the key in Yin Li's hand. So even if they caught Xiao Zhuo, they would never dare to touch Xiao Zhuo before they got Yin Li's key.

In other words, the three families used Xiao Zhuo to threaten Yin Li, while Yin Li used the key in his hand to threaten the three families. Yin Li cares about Xiao Zhuo's life, and the three families care about treasures.

Yang Jie looked at Yin Li with deep eyes, and suddenly his steps moved slightly. When everyone was not able to react, he had already arrived at Yu Zhi and suddenly took action, snatching Xiao Zhuo from Yu Zhi!

Hong Yu and Yu Ying's expressions changed, and the light in Hong Yun's eyes dimmed instantly, and their voices changed tone: "Brother Yang, what are you doing?"

"Hong Yu, Yu Ying, it's time. Don't worry about saving Hong Yun. If you really ask Yin Li to go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for an antidote, aren't you afraid that he will sell us all? I'm afraid that as soon as he enters the City Lord's Mansion and expresses his intention, Ajiu will know that he is in the same group as us and is waiting for him to fall into the trap! Do you really think that Ajiu will see Yin Li's face, give him antidote, let him come and go freely in the City Lord's Mansion, and then go to search for treasures? That's impossible!" Yang Jie said coldly.

After Yang Jie finished speaking, he ignored Hong Yu and Yu Ying's ugly faces and turned to look at Yin Li and said, "Brother Yin, Xiao Zhuo will follow me first. You don't need to find an antidote to save Hong Yun. This is too embarrassing for you. Next, we will cooperate to open the treasure house according to the original plan. As long as the treasure house is opened, I will return Xiao Zhuo to you steadily! As for how we leave, I have already thought of a solution, but I can't say it now, and I will tell you then!"

"What do you mean? Are you just watching my mother wait for death?" Yuzhi looked at Yang Jie in disbelief and said.

"Little girl, there is no room for you to speak here. There are less than three days left. Please accompany your mother." Yang Jie said lightly.

"Dad! Uncle!" Yuzhi looked at Yu Ying and Hong Yu, "Just listen to him? Don't you want to live a life of your mother?"

Hong Yu frowned fiercely, looked at Hong Yun, then sighed deeply and said, "Let's go back first, and then think of a solution."

After Hong Yu finished speaking, he turned around and went out, and heard Yang Jie say behind him: "It's the 15th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the Yuan Dynasty, and we will meet here at that time!"

Hong Yu paused, and without turning back, he left with great strides. Yu Ying hugged Hong Yun and said to Yu Zhi: "Zhier, go back first!"

In the end, only Yang Jie and Yin Li were left in the room, as well as Xiao Zhuo who was knocked unconscious and unconscious.

Yang Jie put Xiao Zhuo on the ground behind him. He sat down, looked at Yin Li, and suddenly smiled: "Brother Yin's mood should be very complicated now, but I can provide Brother Yin with another choice."

In a very short time, the situation changed and Yin Li's mood also experienced great ups and downs. He calmed down a little now, sat down opposite Yang Jie, looked at Yang Jie and asked coldly, "What choice?"

"Brother Yin should be very clear. All I want is treasure. I admit that my father and Hong Yu family conspired to get rid of Master Yin, but this matter was not something I could decide. At that time, we were both young. To put it bluntly, it was a hatred of the previous generation. In the end, Master Yin's death really had nothing to do with the Yang family. It was the attack of the man and woman of Hong Yun and Yu Ying. Brother Yin knew the most." Yang Jie looked at Yin Li and said with a deep look.

Yin Li was silent, and Yang Jie continued, "I know that Brother Yin values ​​love and righteousness, and I am afraid he has never forgotten Master Yin's last wish. However, Brother Yin has been to the Divine Soldier City for so long and has not treated the Lord Ajiu as the wise ruler and betrayed us, which means that Brother Yin does not believe Lord Ajiu. This is normal. Her methods that seem to deliberately win over the hearts of the people are not considered clever. What Brother Yin cares about now is Xiao Zhuo's life, and the other is to avenge his father's death. Why not do this? Brother Yin handed me the key to the treasure house and I will return Xiao Zhuo to Brother Yin, and then Brother Yin takes Xiao Zhuo away from the right and wrong place of Shenbing Soldier City. As for Brother Yin's revenge for killing his father, I swear that I will help Brother Yin avenge! What does Brother Yin mean?"

"I always feel that you are the one with the deepest opportunity in our center." Yin Li said coldly, answering the question that he was not asking.

Yang Jie's lips curled up a playful curve: "To be honest, it doesn't take too much scheming to deal with Brother Yin, because Brother Yin is a righteous and good person. He has principles and morality and can sometimes be trusted. But Brother Yin knows best how shameless they are. If you don't have many thoughts when dealing with them, do I have a way out?"

"I don't accept your proposal." Yin Li said coldly, "But don't worry, even for Xiao Zhuo, I will cooperate with you to search for treasures next time. As for my revenge for killing my father, I must avenge it myself! At that time, the treasures will be yours, as long as you help me avenge and save Xiao Zhuo's life!"

Yang Jie's eyes flashed slightly, as if he didn't expect that Yin Li would refuse his proposal, but Yin Li's choice did not seem to have much impact on Yang Jie's result in his attempt to take over the treasure.

"So, let's listen to Brother Yin." Yang Jie said as he stood up, "Brother Yin, don't worry, Xiao Zhuo will definitely not have any trouble with me. I also believe that Brother Yin will not betray us to the Lord of Ajiu. Hong Yun will definitely die in three days. Brother Yin will regard this as a New Year's happiness! I will come to see Brother Yin again the next day!"

After Yang Jie finished speaking, he got up and left, and took away Xiao Zhuo who was unconscious.

There was only Yin Li left in the room, with the window open. Yin Li got up, walked slowly to the window with a crutch.

It was just after noon, and the cold wind blew in with snowflakes and hit Yin Li's face, feeling cold, just like his current mood.

It is impossible for the four families to gather together to be one mind. It is impossible for the past, present and future. Even the Hongyu families cannot truly be one mind.

Yang Jie has the most scheming and the most ruthless methods. His goal is to make the treasure. Whoever stops him from getting the treasure is his enemy.

Hong Yu is the most shameless and insidious, but also the most conceited. He had always been very proud of Yin Li, thinking that he would make Yin Li go around, but he didn't know that Yin Li had already known about their conspiracy.

Yuying is not a very opinionated man, because Yuying's father is very strong, Yuying has never been the one who makes decisions in the Yu family, and he is quite impulsive in his actions. As a man, it is nonsense to say how deeply he is towards Hong Yun. The love he was young was not fake, but fickle men like young girls no matter what age they are at. Yuying is no exception. He has several concubines in his family.

As for Hong Yun, she has similar personalities to Hong Yu. Many times she is giving advice between her and Yu Ying. Unfortunately, she has done all the tricks, but in the end, Mu Yan's hidden weapon has put her in a desperate situation.

Yin Li is indeed an alien among them. He values ​​friendship and his greatest wish is to avenge his father, and he is also the only one among the four families who do not want to get the treasure.

Yin Li thought that Xiao Zhuo always mentioned how good it is to the Lord Ajiu in front of him these days, and once said that his suspicion of Lord Ajiu is wrong.

Yin Li smiled bitterly. He did not forget his father's last wish, but the painful lessons he taught when he was young made him dare not trust anyone easily. The treasure is of great importance. If the new city lord of Shenbing City is not a wise ruler, but a villain, in order to avoid helping the evil, Yin Li would rather destroy the treasure with his own hands.

When Yin Li turned around, she heard a subtle sound and knew that he must have been targeted by someone here, and it must be Yang Jie's people. Yin Li felt that besides himself, there were definitely more people from the other three families, especially Yang Jie, who could not have come from him. It was just that they all put the masters they brought in in the dark and didn't want the other party to know their trump card.

Yin Li closed the window, turned around, remembering that it was New Year's Eve, and sighed deeply. He had lived for many years and would not be unable to take care of himself without Xiao Zhuo. However, Xiao Zhuo had learned a few dishes from the aunt next door yesterday, saying that he would cook it for Yin Li tonight. Yin Li now feels guilty about Xiao Zhuo, and he even regrets that he should not let Xiao Zhuo stay by his side...

However, the Hong Yu and his family, who returned to the abandoned house, were in a very bad mood.

Hong Yun was placed on a broken bed by Yu Ying, her eyes were closed and her face turned pale. Yu Zhi sat on the edge of the bed with red eyes: "Dad, uncle, how can you bear it..."

Hong Yu clenched his fist and smashed the table with an impatient look: "Things have become like this, no one wants it! Of course I can't bear to wait for Yun'er to die like this, but what can we do? Will your Yu family surrender to Lord Ajiu for Yun'er and give up the treasure?"

Yu Ying's expression froze and he remained silent. Don't say that he couldn't make a decision. If his father was here, he would definitely choose treasure instead of Hong Yun.

"Let's go to the city lord's mansion to steal the antidote!" Yu Zhi suddenly spoke.

"Zhier, you are too naive! That city lord Ajiu is not a good person. Since she poisoned Yun'er, we would be helpless even if she was determined. Even if there was a ready-made antidote in the city lord's mansion, I'm afraid I'll set up a trap and wait for us to jump!" Hong Yu said coldly.

"Then let's capture a person from the city lord's mansion and threaten Ajiu to hand over the antidote!" Yu Zhi said coldly.

"Zhier, do you think we can't think of these? This is also a bad idea." Hong Yu sighed deeply, "We are single and weak, and we cannot fight Ajiu head-on, otherwise we will definitely lose. We can't take risks anymore!"

"I understand. My uncle and dad have given up on my mother, so no matter what I say, you all think it's useless!" Yuzhi said coldly.

"You guys should accompany Yun'er." Hong Yu said in a deep voice, and got up and was about to leave.

Hong Yun woke up at this moment and shouted: "Brother..."

Hong Yu stopped, shook his head slightly, and did not turn around, and left with big strides.

"Zhi'er...save my mother..." Hong Yun grabbed Yuzhi's hand with a pleading look.

Yuzhi said with tears in her face: "Mom, I have no choice... I have no choice..."

"Brother Ying...Brother Ying..." Hong Yun stared at Yu Ying, "Save me...Save me..."

Yu Ying frowned and walked over: "Zhieri went out first, I have something to say to your mother."

Yuzhi ran out crying. Yuying sat down beside the bed, reached out and held Hong Yun's hand. In Hong Yun's gaze full of anticipation and begging, he looked at Hong Yun with guilt and said, "Yun'er, let's be husband and wife again in the next life!"

Hong Yun looked at Yu Ying in disbelief and fainted again. This time she was angry...

Although Mu Yan didn't know the thoughts of each family here, she helped to create the current situation of the four families. The intrigues and human feelings among the four families were also planned by Mu Yan.

But in the city lord's mansion in the south city of Shenbing City, there was no scheming at all. Everyone was happily celebrating New Year's Eve.

The men were all competing in the martial arts stadium in the backyard, which was suggested by Mu Yan because she thought the festival would be more lively.

There was also thick snow falling on the martial arts competition stage in the martial arts arena. It was quite unique to fight on the snowy days.

In order to prevent the two brothers Xiao Yuesheng and Xiao Xinghan from beating the others too badly, the two brothers were divided into a group, and the others were drawn to decide the opponent. Those who won were rewarded, and those who lost had to make everyone smile.

Several old people were happily drinking and chatting to watch the fun, and the cute little Xing'er hugged them, so I was so happy.

Mu Yan, Qi Yuchan and Beitang Lingsu have prepared various colors of paint and are waiting to "put makeup" on the losers.

Tuoba Yan volunteered to be the commander and presided over the competition. When he wanted to fly out to the competition platform, he was pulled back by Mu Yan, added a cloak to him and put on a hat.

"The competition begins. The first game, Uncle Xiaotianer vs. Uncle Dugu!" Tuoba Yan's clear voice sounded, and Dugu Ao flew over, and Mo Qingchen blinked at Beitang Lingsu, patted his chest and said, "Susu, you have a good look, I will definitely win!"

"I lost and slept on the floor tonight." Beitang Lingsu said calmly.
To be continued...
