710 Were Indeed Rebelling, So What! (2/2)
Had this fellow gone crazy?
”Eighth brother, what nonsense are you speaking? These are the seniors of the three Holy Lands. Toward these seniors, how could we not treat them with respect!” Xiao Xing Yun's face turned pale as he berated anxiously. Although he was scolding, his words were filled with warning. Those were not people we can afford to offend; hurry up and ask for forgiveness!
Wei Kong Qun's eyes were already blazing with killing intent. He looked at the Eighth Elder and asked with gritted teeth, one word at a time: ”Just now, were you the one scolding this old man?”
”Senior Wei, please appease your anger.” Xiao Xing Yun hurriedly apologized with a smiling face. Then, he turned around and scolded, ”What's wrong with you two? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've already become so bold? Hurry up and seek Senior Wei's forgiveness!”
”Eldest brother, for this matter, this little brother cannot agree with you!” The Ninth Elder said huffily. ”Eldest brother, our Xiao Family had always done things in an above board manner; we never needed to hide or shirk from anything! Why do we need to go to such extent?”
”What do you mean with those words?” Han Zhan Meng and Xiao Xing Yun both asked at the same time. In that moment, these two old enemies had the same expressions on their faces: doubt and disbelief.
”Eldest brother, since we have the heart to rebel, we should do it forthrightly! Indeed! We couldn't bear the sight of the Han Family since a long time ago! So what!”
The Ninth Elder stuck out his neck and declared in a heroic voice, ”Our Xiao Family simply wants the seat of City Lord; what the f*ck can anyone do about it? We've been planning for this in secret for more than 40 years, but what of it? You think that we're afraid of saying it out? With the current strength of our Xiao Family, do we need to be afraid that the heirless Han Family can change the situation? This old man is truly baffled… are we afraid that they can flip over the skies and change the situation?!”
This Ninth Elder's words were like a crazed person. His words were more coarse than the uncouth men in the streets, and expletives flew out of his mouth continuously!
”What nonsense are you spouting! Shut your mouth this instant!” Xiao Xing Yun roared. At this point, he was already somewhat at a loss of what to do.
He'd obtained the support of the three Holy Lands with great difficulty, and taking advantage of the fact that the Jun Family was at their gates, he would finally seize the position of City Lord. He was on the very verge of success! The moment this matter was over, he would be the new City Lord of Blizzard Silver City. But who would have imagined that these two idiots would suddenly appear at the most critical moment, and directly start spouting a bunch of nonsense. All his plans had been completely exposed…
More importantly, these two happened to be the two most trusted aides of his. There was truly not much that they didn't know…
”Eldest brother, how am I spouting nonsense? Could it be that you don't remember the grand matter that we discussed together at the beginning? That was a matter that concerned our Xiao Family for generations and ages to come! I would never forget it!”
The Ninth Elder widened his eyes and continued loudly. ”Over 40 years ago, you called all of us brothers together, and said that while our Xiao Family has been in the Silver City for so many years, even if we didn't have any meritorious contributions, we've all given our share of hard work. Why should the Han Family be the masters, while we take on the role of stewards? Even if our authority and benefits were larger, what meaning was there in that? It was our ancestor who established the Silver City back then. Why should the Han Family be in charge? We must take back the Silver City! Let the Han Family and those other people go to hell! Eldest brother, those were your exact words!”
Xiao Xing Yun nearly fainted from anger, and his lips and eyes twitches uncontrollably. Anger and anxiousness intermixed, he hurriedly shouted, ”Nonsense! When have I ever said those kind of words?”
Everyone in the hall turned their gazes and looked questioningly at him together.
”Eldest brother, what's the matter with you? A true man has the courage to take responsibility for his actions! So what if it's the Silver City? What's the Han Family worth? A bunch of soft eggs, what are we afraid of them for! We'll just f*ck them all!”
The Ninth Elder leaned forward in his wheelchair, and his expression turning more unbearably uncouth. ”That year, the reason the two elders Xiao Yu and Chun Feng died on the west frontier; wasn't it done by this little brother and you personally? They were the biggest tumors in our hearts back then, weren't they? Since we've already done the deed, is there still any reasons to be afraid? The reason the Han Family's numbers are dwindling the past few years; wasn't that the result of our handiwork as well? Just thinking back to the disbelieving expressions of those two undying old fools back then still makes this little brother laugh! How delightful! HAHA!”
Xiao Xing Yun stared at him dumbly, his mouth gaping widely and his eyes unblinking. Looking at these two brothers of his that seemed quite sober, he suddenly felt his head swoon. He stumbled slightly and brought a shaky hand to his forehead. In that moment, he felt as if he were in a dream…
”Exactly ah! Eldest brother, this is the same as that time in the Grasslands. We used poison to harm the two Han Family elders, Ning Shi and Qing Chen. Back then, you were the one who laid down the plans and you also executed it personally! Peng, peng! two swift blades onto the two's heads. How enjoyable ah ah ah… We've indeed done all that, but so what? Could it be that the Han Family is still capable of eating us? Aren't they still kept in the dark? They've been deceived completely!”
The Eighth Elder reminisced with relish as he smacked his lips and slapped his leg-less stumps. His roars were so loud that the entire hall buzzed and trembled…
Xiao Xing Yun only felt the world spin, and his body tottered unsteadily. Raising his head he roared, ”You two bastards! Just what nonsense are you spouting? Have you been possessed by a devil in your sleep? Ah? You two wretched scoundrels! Have your brains turned to mush?! You son of a b*tch!”
”Eldest brother, how could you say such things? How are we scoundrels? Eldest brother, we're your left and right hand ah! Besides, our parents aren't called Wang Ba, so how could we be bastards.?”
Eighth Elder continued in a wronged manner. ”Eldest brother, we're really not bastards! Our father is surnamed Xiao! Not Wang! Have you forgotten?”The Chinese words for bastard is Wang Ba Dan or Wang Ba's egg
