Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 25: Fall
"Who did this?"
Looking at Tang Jie tied to the tree, the wife roared angrily.
A group of trembling little ones nearby were too frightened to speak.
Actually, this is a useless question. Besides Wei Tianchong, who else has the courage?
The wife was obviously aware of this and shouted: "Wenqing, why don't you put me down? Shi Meng, go and wake up Chong'er. What time has it been? Are you still sleeping? Shi Mo , said, what on earth is going on?"
Shocked and frightened, Shi Mo briefly recounted what happened last night. Naturally, he would not say anything good about Tang Jie. He only said that Tang Jie had blocked Wei Tian's pursuit of pleasure and actually killed the young master's horse. The young master was furious and whipped him to vent his anger.
It’s just that Wei Zheng Shufeng is such a shrewd person, and he knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this.
Tang Jie has been in the house for a long time. She also knows something about Tang Jie. She knows that Tang Jie is stable by nature and will never do such a thing for no reason. At this moment, she is distraught to listen to Shi Mo's words. Shi Mo, slapped Shi Mo on the face: "You bastard, you dare to deceive even me. Chen Yan, Chen Xin, separate these boys for me and question them one by one!"
Chen Yan and Chen Xin are two brothers who are the guardians of Jingxin Garden.
Although she is not an expert in interrogation, this separate cross-examination is quite consistent with the method of interrogation.
A bunch of young men had never seen this kind of world before. They just asked a few questions and then they all got involved.
When Wei Zheng Shufeng heard that her son went out to drink in the name of fun, and even rode horses to climb mountains at night, he was so angry that his whole body shook.
At this moment Wei Tian rushed over.
At this time, he had sobered up and his anger had subsided. Looking at Tang Jie and his mother who were lying on the ground with no idea of their life or death, he did not dare to be arrogant anymore. He walked to his mother obediently and shouted: "Mom... ”
Before he finished speaking, Wei Zheng Shufeng slapped his son on the face.
Wei Tianchong was dumbfounded by the slap. Wei Zheng Shufeng had already pointed at his son and cursed: "You have to make me angry to death before you are willing to accept it? You drank wine and rode up to Longshan Mountain, and even whipped Tang Jie and almost killed him! I How come I gave birth to such a worthless thing like you!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He whipped Wei Tianchong and hit him mindlessly.
Wei Tianchong has never suffered like this before. He was beaten so hard that he screamed and ran around while shouting: "It was that boy who killed my horse, my horse! Why did I beat him? I am the young master!" ”
"I am your mother!" The wife's whip struck harder and harder.
But it was his son after all. Seeing that Wei Tianchong was hit in the face several times in a row, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. One of the blows was bloody, and he felt a little reluctant to give up, so the whip was much lighter.
Just thinking about his son being so ignorant makes me feel angry and trembling all over.
Seeing that his mother would stop beating him, the young master became bolder again and said stubbornly: "What's wrong with me riding a horse to climb mountains? My horsemanship is already very good, nothing will happen to me at all. Besides, even if he If you want to stop me, why kill my horse? He is my servant, but he dares to kill my horse, why can't I punish him?"
"You still don't know what's wrong?" Wei Zheng Shufeng pointed at his son and cursed: "Yinglong Mountain is a steep and dangerous mountain, and you still want to climb a mountain on horseback with your two moves. You are looking for death! You asked your servants to stop Tang Jie. He can't beat you, what can he do if he doesn't kill the horse? And you bastards, let you serve the young master, look what you have done? You didn't stop the young master when he made a mistake, and you actually forced Tang Jie Kill the horse, a bunch of bastards, bastards, get them all out of the house!"
Hearing this, Wenqing Shimo and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
A group of boys all knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy. Fortunately, Wei Zheng Shufeng's close old lady said: "Madam, if we really want to drive everyone away, there will be no one to serve the young master. You too You know, they are all servants, and if something happens... it's really not easy to stop them. Tang Jie is so bold that he even dares to kill the young master's horse. No wonder the young master is angry."
"You also speak for them." The wife glared at the old woman.
The old woman was Wei Tianchong's wet nurse. She had a higher status in the house and was not afraid of his wife. She laughed and said, "I just think that even if you drive everyone away, you can replace them with a new group of people." Come on, it’s still the same.”
Wei Zheng Shufeng was right when he thought about it, but after thinking about it again he was still angry. He glared at these boys fiercely and snorted: "In that case, let's keep them for now and wait until the master comes back to decide how to deal with them! ”
On the contrary, it was the young master who shouted: "Why! Shi Mo and the others are my people, no one is allowed to touch them. Without Tang Jie, nothing would have happened to me yesterday!"
"Still not convinced? Okay, since you said nothing will happen to you, I will see if anything happens to you. Someone, bring me a horse and let him ride it up Longshan! It's daytime now, and you have sobered up. Now that you can see the road clearly, let me see if you can ride a horse all the way up the mountain!"
"Okay!" Wei Tianchong stiffened his neck and agreed.
——————————
If you haven’t done something before, you don’t know how difficult it is!
When Wei Tianchong rode his horse to the foot of Yinglong Mountain, looking at the steep mountain road and the towering peaks, his heart suddenly trembled.
I couldn't see clearly at night. When I looked again at this moment, I realized that the road was really difficult to walk. Why didn't I notice it before?
"What, are you scared?" Zheng Shufeng, the side guard, looked at his son coldly and asked.
Young people can't stand being stimulated.
Wei Tianchong raised his neck: "Who said that? I just looked at the road first... you look at me!"
As he said that, he galloped his horse and whipped his horse and rushed towards the mountain road.
It was okay when we first went up the mountain. The **** was not that steep and it was close to the ground.
But the further you go up, the more rugged and uneven the mountain road becomes. There are stones everywhere. If you are not careful, the horse's body will tilt.
After walking one-third of the way up the mountain, the mountain wind became stronger and whistled continuously. Seeing that the summit was still far away, Wei Tianchong's heart gradually began to beat.
At this time, he no longer dared to rush forward. He just urged the horse to move forward step by step. Although it was a bit slow, it was better than not being able to reach the peak.
As long as he can climb the mountain, he can prove that he is right, Wei Tianchong encouraged himself.
Unfortunately, the truth is not always as beautiful as imagined. Yinglongshan is not a servant of the Wei family, and there is no need to give the young master face.
Seeing that he was not even halfway up the mountain, a mountain road appeared directly in front of Wei Tianchong.
This mountain road is not too narrow, at least two feet wide, but there are cliffs on both sides. It is unprotected, but it is much scarier than the mountain road.
Wei Tianchong was frightened in his heart. He wanted to turn back but was unwilling to do so. He could only urge his horse to move forward.
Walking on the uncovered mountain road, a gust of mountain wind blew by, causing the man and horse to sway together.
Occasionally I glanced down, feeling that the bottom was invisible, and Wei Tianchong felt dizzy before his eyes.
"Hold on!" Wei Tianchong shouted.
Although he was scared, there was a stubbornness in his temper, and he refused to back down no matter what. The horse moved forward slowly, walking on the mountain road, as if walking on a tightrope.
At this moment, the horse suddenly stepped on another stone, and its body suddenly tilted. Wei Tianchong quickly reined in to stabilize the horse.
It was just that the force of the pull was too strong, and the horse suddenly stood up. Wei Tian rushed and failed to control himself. He actually fell off the horse and rolled on the ground several times. It actually rolled out of the cliff.
Originally, he could have stopped himself, but due to the fear in his heart, his whole body was weak and he failed to catch it. He fell directly from the mountain road and plummeted towards the abyss below.
"No!" Wei Tianchong screamed in horror.
Just when he thought he was dead, a spiritual light suddenly appeared and caught Wei Tianchong, actually stopping his fall.
Wei Tianchong looked up in shock and saw an old man with a white beard standing in the air. A spiritual thread was wrapped around him. He pulled him to his side. Then the old man laughed and said, He took Wei Tian and flew down the mountain. He looked slower and faster, and fell back to the ground from the air in the blink of an eye, arriving in front of Wei Zheng Shufeng.
The old man cupped his hands in front of Wei Zheng Shufeng and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"
"Mom!" Wei Tianchong looked at his mother. Until now, his calves were still shaking. Suddenly he felt wet between his legs. Looking down, he realized that he had been incontinent just now.
There was a low laugh from the side.
Wei Zheng Shufeng snorted coldly: "You can't even cross the middle of the mountain when riding a horse in broad daylight. Do you still think that your equestrian skills are good?"
Wei Tianchong was speechless.
"You're a worthless thing, why don't you thank Master Lu for saving you?"
Wei Tianchong was about to thank you when the white-bearded old man waved his hand and said: "That's all, I didn't save you, it was Tang Jie who saved you... Don't cause trouble again, young master!"
————————————
When he woke up, Tang Jie found himself lying on a bed.
The bed is extremely soft, the quilt is made of satin, and sandalwood is burning in the room. The environment is quite elegant, and it is obviously not a room for servants.
Tang Jie was shocked. He wanted to sit up but found that he couldn't. Only then did he realize that his whole body was wrapped like a rice dumpling.
Just then a maid came in from outside carrying a washbasin. She saw Tang Jie and smiled and said, "You're awake."
But this maid Tang Jie knew, her name was Shiyue, she was the maid next to Madam.
"It turns out to be Sister Shi Yue. Where is this place? Why am I here?" Tang Jie saw Shi Yue's smile, and he knew more or less, but he still pretended to be confused.
Shiyue has come over, wetted a towel with water, and wiped Tang Jie's face: "This is Qixiang Residence. It is specially reserved by the mansion for entertaining distinguished guests. Don't worry, it was my wife who ordered you to be sent there. You are blessed to be here!"
While saying that, Shi Yue had already roughly told what happened after he became "coma".
"Madam said, you did the right thing, well done. What happened this time was that the young master was dishonest. Madam has punished him severely and banned him from going out for three months. Shimo Shimeng originally said The one who wanted to be kicked out of the house had to be interceded by the wet nurse, so he gave up."
Although Shi Mo and Shi Meng are servants, they are not without background. Just as he was introduced by the big steward, Shi Mo and Shi Meng are also on good terms with some of the stewards and relatives in the mansion, among whom Shi Mo is a relative of the wet nurse. children, if not for this, the wet nurse would not have been able to speak for them like this.
Since the young masters grew up on the milk of the wet nurse and had the so-called gift of breastfeeding, the wet nurse generally had a relatively high status in the ancient big families. The most famous wet nurse in history was none other than the Emperor Zhu You of Tianqi. The school's wet nurse, Keshi, was extremely powerful.
After understanding all this, Tang Jie didn't care.
Although the wife did not kick them out of the house because of the nurse's intercession, after this incident, the image of Shi Mo and Shi Meng in the eyes of the wife has plummeted, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get them back in the future.
Some mistakes should not be made!
Sure enough, Shi Yue has already said: "Despite this, my wife still plans to transfer Shi Mo away from the young master."
"Then who will replace Shi Mo?"
"Aren't we still discussing this? The first manager recommended you, saying you are mature and stable, but the second and third managers all recommended you differently, saying that your injury will not heal for a while~IndoMTL.com~ It is not suitable to wait. , Humph, anyway, I just want to promote my own people. The master and his wife are also discussing this matter. The wife is more fond of you, but the master still has some scruples..."
Shi Yue looked around to make sure no one was there, then she leaned into Tang Jie's ear and said, "Master Lu Xian went to see the horse you killed before, and he said that the stabbing was fierce and decisive, and it was fatal with one blow. The precise and ruthless techniques are not what ordinary teenagers can have, and your origin is still somewhat unknown, so I have some concerns."
The long-term bribery finally worked. Both Yanzhi and Shiyue now have a good impression of Tang Jie. That is why Yanzhi went to report to his wife as soon as he saw Tang Jie like this, while Shiyue Remind Master Tang Jie of his thoughts.
"Thank you, Sister Shiyue, I understand."
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Shi Yue was curious when she saw the troubled look on Tang Jie's face.
Tang Jie smiled and said: "As time goes by, people's hearts will change, and there are some things that there is no point in rushing."
Shi Yue already smiled and said: "You have a good temper. Well, this is the elixir that my wife specially asked for from Master Lu Xian. If you take it, your injury should heal faster."
As he said this, he took out a medicine bottle, took out a pill and put it into Tang Jie's mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, and Tang Jie felt a stream of spiritual energy entering his body. His whole body was filled with warmth and felt indescribably comfortable. His absorption is much higher with the Zangxiang Sutra.
Tang Jie's eyes lit up: "Good medicine!"
"That's right, this is the elixir of the immortal family. Master Lu is usually reluctant to use it. He just told me to take the rest back when you are healed."
As long as he was willing, Tang Jie's injuries could heal quickly.
Now that I heard Shi Yue's words, I suddenly felt that it would be good to just lie in bed like this for a few more days.
