Chapter 252 Cruel and ruthless
When Han Yu said this, he suddenly thought of this surname, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be the Zhai family in Guanzhong? If this is the case, he must have been lucky. He was framed by someone for going up the mountain to suppress bandits, but instead he received the support of the heir of the Zhai family. No matter how calm Han Yu was, he felt a little excited and felt like he had found a treasure.
Han Yu had always paid close attention to the trends of the imperial court. When he was still hunting and farming in his hometown, there was no other way. When he had free time, he would go back to the teahouse to listen to stories and even made some friends. Ever since I entered the military camp and had the conditions, I have learned more about the court's trends. Although the top-secret affairs of the court cannot be known due to limited ability, some other events and trends are still clear, such as the arrest of several major martial arts families. The imperial court fell apart. Some people surrendered to the imperial court. There were also news that a few "hard bones" were "gnawed" by the imperial court and their families were exterminated. Among them, the Zhai family, the head of the martial arts family, was the most rumored one in the past few days. One pile.
When Zhai Li heard Han Yu talk about the Zhai family and the glory and pride of the Zhai family, he could no longer hold back his emotions. His face was filled with memories and hatred, and his eyes turned blood red. In the end, he He is still only sixteen years old. He has experienced such a big change at such a young age. Even if he has a strong heart and has endured everything, he still cannot mention it without changing his face. After all, it has only been so long and it is so profound. The picture cannot be forgotten even in a lifetime, let alone this time.
"Are you a descendant of the Zhai family? Judging from your martial arts skills and performance in various aspects, having such abilities at such a young age must be the result of the family's efforts in cultivating them. If I'm not mistaken, you should be Zhai. The direct descendants of the family, judging by your age, the head of the Zhai family, Zhai Qinghan, is your father, right?" Han Yu said this with a certain degree of certainty. At that time, he felt sorry for the Zhai family. They were strong-willed and would rather break than bend. Seriously. He was so arrogant that it was regrettable and admirable, but his whole family was wiped out, leaving no heirs, and his legacy was cut off. Unexpectedly, there were still descendants of the Zhai family who escaped the killing.
But when you think about it, you will understand that such a martial arts family that has been passed down for many years has a profound foundation, how can it be as straightforward as it appears, and would do this? I am afraid that it is also the determination of the imperial court to eradicate them, and they are impossible Losing the arrogance in one's bones and going against the rules set by the ancestors to take refuge in the imperial court is not even considered to be surrendering to the imperial court, but to that sycophant Wang Mang. You can be cunning and sophisticated in order to survive, but you cannot cross the bottom line, so you have no choice but to do this. This was a desperate move, sacrificing the entire clan in exchange for a glimmer of inheritance and hope for the Zhai family. Thinking about it, Zhai Li was burdened with too many things.
"Master Han guessed it well. I am the only legitimate son of Zhai Qinghan, the head of the Zhai family. My original name was Zhai Mo. I changed my name to Zhai Li after I escaped from the refugee camp. This is the pseudonym I use now." Now that Zhai Li has decided to He told Han Yu his life experience without hiding it. He immediately admitted his identity and briefly recounted his experience after escaping from the Zhai family.
It turned out that Zhai Li was sent out by the elders of the family that day. Also with him were his mother and his ten-year-old cousin. Also with Zhai Mo were a few people who were close friends with the Zhai family, but they were all the same. The children of martial arts families who were persecuted by the imperial court were in a similar situation to Zhai Li. They were all sent away as hope and inheritance by their families and left together. Unexpectedly, the family's arrangements were so thorough. Just because the traitors were eliminated, the court knew the news that Zhai Li and the others were sent away, and sent people to hunt them down.
The situation was urgent at that time. Zhai Li discussed with the young masters of the other three families and asked the women, children and children to leave first. They were responsible for breaking off and diverting the enemy. After throwing the enemy away, they followed the markers and chased them. However, they did not know that they were arranged to leave. Relatives will encounter bandits. The bandits were extremely cruel. Not only did they rob property, they also killed all their relatives.
After the family was destroyed, these were their only remaining relatives in the world. At that time, Zhai Li and the others had just experienced great changes and escaped from the desperate situation, and they encountered such bad news. Several young people wanted to go up the mountain and kill all the bandits, but at the last moment they still Zhai Li regained his senses and stopped the other three people.
Although they are all skilled in martial arts, the bandits are so numerous that they cannot be opponents. As long as they are ordinary people, it would be fine. At worst, they would risk their lives to fight! But they can't. They still bear the burden and hope of their family. As early as when the family tried their best to leave the last glimmer of life to them, this life no longer belongs to them.
They couldn't risk their lives to fight, but they had to avenge the blood feud. Finally, the few people discussed and decided to disguise themselves as refugees and join the bandits, sneaking into the village.
After Zhai Li finished speaking, the other three young men also told their stories, and they were all very similar. Zhang Xing came from the Dadao Zhang family, and the two brothers Qi Yun and Qishen came from the Muay Thai Qi family.
Looking at Qi Shen, the youngest of whom was less than thirteen years old, even Han Yu, who was cold-hearted, had to lament that the life experiences of these young men were rough and they encountered disasters and changes. Fortunately, they all survived, which shows that the four of them are all good. It is no wonder that people with strong minds are chosen by the elders in the family. Even if some ideas seem simple and childish due to the protection of the family, there are more merits. I believe that after some trials and tribulations, they will grow up and achieve what others cannot. the height to reach.
"This is what we have experienced. I will not hide it from you, sir. The one who has a grudge against us is the most powerful Prime Minister Wang Mang, who now controls the government. Along the way, there are people of Wang Mang who are chasing us. If you take us in, it may cause trouble." Zhai Li said with a stiff face. He did not want to tell Han Yu about their life experience before, partly because he was afraid that Han Yu would be too worried and unwilling to take them in. Now that they have revealed everything, they don't know what attitude Han Yu will have.
"It is really troublesome to be hunted by Prime Minister Wang's people. Prime Minister Wang is in a high position and has power throughout the court and the country. A martial arts family like you has been defeated by him, so I have no ability to compete with Lord Wang." Han Yu said so. After saying this, Zhai Li and others felt depressed. Does this mean that you don't want to take them in? This is not surprising. After all, Wang Mang is cruel and ruthless. If he knows, it may implicate Lord Han.
"If Lord Han is unwilling to accept us, please let us go. At least you should give us a chance to live. Otherwise, we will die if we fall into the hands of the court." Zhai Li only thought that Han Yu was afraid of being implicated, but he did not think at all that Han Yu knew their life experience and would arrest them and send them to Mang Ze to seek credit.
