Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 226: The Jianghu People Leave

When the siege of Hengjian Villa began to ease, people in the martial arts world became suspicious.

Instinctively distrusting the imperial court, he thought they had other intentions.

It was not until the appearance of Yue Pengyu that they were reassured and confirmed that King Youshan and the Duke of Zhenguo were going to let them go.

This also shows that the matter of Hengjian Villa has been settled.

"I can't bear to leave so easily! The Duke of Zhenguo still has my brother's life in his hands. If I don't take revenge, how can I live in this world with dignity!"

One of them said,

"We know you have your reasons. The imperial court was attracted by the money of Hengjian Villa, so they charged you with treason. Don't worry! We know it clearly and don't believe it!"

Yue Pengyu felt guilty for all the support, but he was too embarrassed to admit that those crimes were true.

The account book in the hands of King Youshan recorded in detail when, where, what materials were used, and how many days it took to forge a batch of good swords.

When trading with Beimo, we encountered some unexpected events and the Beimo specialties we brought back were severely damaged, but unexpectedly they still sold well.

Yue Pengyu had no way to defend himself.

She patted her good friend on the shoulder and said, "Old Joe, let's go."

Some clever ones took the opportunity to quietly escape from Hengjian Villa, fearing that they would be harmed in any way.

This is a confirmed fact, which Yue Pengyu cannot refute. Hengjian Villa will be destroyed and disappear from Yunsu City because of this.

There are many people in this world who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Not ridiculing them in front of her may be the greatest kindness you can do.

Now, those who say they believe in her and are eager to try to rescue her by all means if she is imprisoned, truly regard her as a relative.

Yue Pengyu whispered, "You all go back and live a good life, don't worry about my affairs anymore."

At this time, apart from those who firmly believed in her, some of those who had doubts in their hearts finally began to think.

"Did Hengjian Villa really betray us?"

After the sound, the surroundings became quiet, and many people in the martial arts world also fell into the same awkward state of mind as Yue Mingxuan.

In the end, is family and country more important, or is friendship more important?

Just looking at Yue Pengyu's loneliness, many things are self-evident.

How should they face traitors? In the past, they would have been filled with righteous indignation and would have wanted to kill them.

But when the people around her admit their guilt, should you sever ties with them or clear her name?

In the end, I could only force myself to bow and leave silently.

Yue Pengyu thought to himself, "All fame and fortune are empty, it's really like that."

She really saw the people in the martial arts world leaving one after another, some of them didn't even look back at her, and she truly felt lonely.

Hengjian Villa is about to be destroyed.

She was as enthusiastic and unassuming as before, as bright as the sun, but no one would exchange pleasantries or be polite with her anymore.

She watched them leave with her own eyes. The withered leaves of Hengjian Villa were right before her eyes. They were all scared...

What if it's a capital crime?

"It's not your fault." Someone will come to him specifically to comfort the hero whose faith has collapsed.

Yue Pengyu sent away most of the people in the world, some of whom were indifferent or unfamiliar.

In a few days, when the news spread among the people in the martial arts world, Hengjian Villa was guilty of heinous crimes, and if she appeared again, she might be executed.

Yue Mingxuan was so naive. She thought that she could survive the death of her father, brothers and sisters?

She underestimated the emperor's anger and did not consider whether the civil and military officials of the court would allow them to survive.

It was the Duke Zhenguo's good expression that gave him an illusion, and he didn't notice the suppressed anger of King Youshan.

In addition to the people from the underworld that she had taken in, Yue Pengyu also tried her best to release the innocent guards and servants in the villa.

However, this matter was stopped by Youshan Wang's men, who said that Yue Zhanchi had betrayed many related figures and they needed to be brought to justice one by one.

Yue Pengyu was helpless, she couldn't protect anyone.

Only Yue Tianci——

"Go away! Go away!"

Yue Pengyu, who was walking up the stairs, heard Yue Tianci's rough voice, followed by the sound of porcelain breaking, and the servant was driven out.

They didn't notice Yue Pengyu's presence, and whispered contemptuously as they walked out the door.

"Why are you still being so squeamish at this time? Who knows if you will lose your head tomorrow? The food in the Yunsu City Jail is much worse than this."

"If you hadn't colluded with Beimo, the border crisis would have been resolved long ago. There are people from my village who followed the army and are still buried in the desert!"

"Aren't we pitiful? We are only serving others to earn some money, but we will be deducted from the money. If His Majesty gets angry and wants to execute the whole family, we will be thrown into a mass grave with you."

······

Yue Pengyu never expected that the first time he heard real ridicule was from his own servant.

Yue Tianci obviously heard it too. He was originally unwelcome and just muddled along, but this time he ran out with fangs bared, pointing at the waiter and yelling,

"Since we're going to die anyway, I might as well just use a stick to beat you all to death! At least it'll make me feel better!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Pengyu appeared. He choked and called out "Sister", and tears started flowing again.

The servant then realized that Yue Pengyu was also there, and his face turned red, not knowing whether to run away or apologize.

After hesitating for a long time, he was forced to say in a low but reluctant voice due to Yue Pengyu's long-standing prestige, "I am guilty——"

Yue Pengyu came closer, and Yue Tianci wiped his tears and rushed into his sister's arms, crying loudly and completely wetting Yue Pengyu's clothes.

"You're so old, why do you still like to cry?" Yue Pengyu stroked his hair gently. Yue Tianci just buried his head and shook it violently from side to side, refusing to say a word.

Yue Pengyu turned around and said to the waiter who had just spoken rudely,

"I originally wanted to ask His Royal Highness King Youshan to let you go, but I didn't expect you to voluntarily accompany me to Hengjian Villa. You are truly loyal servants."

As soon as these words came out, the servants knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Miss Ten! Master Yue! I said those words because I was really scared. You are so broad-minded, why do you care about a petty person like me! Please let me go!"

"My mother is old, and I must go home to show my filial piety! Please forgive us!"

Yue Pengyu shouted coldly, "As long as Your Highness has not put me in prison, I am still your master. Always remember that your life and death are in my hands. Get out!"

Yue Tianci saw the servants tumbling and crawling away through his tearful eyes, and asked with sobs,

"Sister, do you really want them to be buried with you?"

"It's just to scare them." Yue Pengyu softened his voice and took him back to the house, pressing him down on the table.

"Tianci, from now on, there will be many more harsh words like this. Be strong and don't cry anymore."

Yue Tianci took a breath and said, "Is there any future? As long as King Youshan digs out the silver under the secret room in the study, we will die.

I secretly asked others about Yue Zhanchi's situation. Sister, we can't escape."
