Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 567 566. Yu Family
When the team went uphill, Du Ruhui jumped out of the car again and carefully inspected the four corpses.

The kind that even took off the clothes.

But it can only be concluded that they should be battle-tested people with scars on their bodies.But there is no other news.

Everyone only has some ordinary military rations in their arms, the knives are not signed, the clothes are not clearly marked, and they don't even have ID cards.

Apparently, it was either lost or simply not brought.

Helpless, they could only continue to set off.

In the dark night, the long dragon composed of golden light lit up the land, making them the most suitable targets to catch.

But there is no way.

Without the golden light, these people walked in the rain without knowing what would happen.

Unless the rain stops, Li Zhen can only continue like this.

But this is not without benefits.

With this golden lighting, at least he did not miss the official road leading to Yu Township.

Everyone changed from south to west.

After walking for a while, Li Zhen put his arms around the young apprentice who was already asleep, and said to Du Ruhui who had been silent since the attack:

"Old Du, did you notice something?"

"……what?"

"The road leading to Yu Township is extremely muddy."

Looking at the road lit by golden light, Li Zhen said:

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like there are a lot of horses and horses passing by... Look, there are hoof marks."

"..."

Du Ruhui squinted his eyes and watched for a while, then suddenly jumped out of the car.

After a while, he ran back and shook his head:
"Those people didn't start from here. These hoof prints are in the same direction as us, and there is no sign of large-scale retrograde, so the people who attacked us should not come out from this direction."

"That's fine."

Li Zhen nodded, looking at the rain that kept spreading from the masked dome towards both sides.

It has been raining for most of the day.

But it shows no signs of stopping.

People can bear it, but the pulling horse may not be able to bear it.

"have a rest."

When he heard the neighing of the two ordinary horses from the grain truck behind the carriage again, Li Zhen knew that this was the only way to go today.

"……it is good."

Du Ruhui came back to his senses and nodded:
"Then does it matter?"

"fine."

Li Zhen waved his hand, and a voice sounded from mid-air:

"Everyone, follow Jin Guang down the official road, let's rest."

There was a loud gasp from the line.

Obviously, these people's mental heads are reaching their limit.

……

The golden light shrouded it into a cocoon.

Everyone was a little crowded in the soft golden light that isolated the mud and humidity, and many people grunted.

Poor accommodation is bad.

Anyway, it won't be rained.

Although they would prefer to enjoy the fire...but it is obviously unrealistic.

Li Zhen leaned on the wheel, and the carriage was pushed up by the crossbar.And Xuanzang was leading the officials on the edge of the golden light to groom and massage the horses.

Du Ruhui continued to guard the two "prisoners" on the grain truck.

Then, just as Li Zhen yawned several times in a row, his voice sounded:

"Since you two are awake, don't pretend, how about getting up and chatting?"

The Taoist raised his eyelids.

He looked at the two tightly bound young men.

One young man is probably in his 20s, while the other is about the same age as Lao Du.

After hearing Du Ruhui's words, the two opened their eyes instantly.

"..."

"..."

Li Zhen didn't say anything, but narrowed his eyes, as if he was dozing off.

But Du Ruhui stared at the two of them, and said directly:
"Du Ling Du, Du Ruhui."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, and the older man said in a deep voice:

"Yu Baoning."

The young man also nodded:
"Yu Zhining."

Judging by the names, they seem to be two brothers?

But Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes when he heard the name, looked the two of them up and down, and said:
"It turned out to be the queen of Duke Yuanming."

Yuan Minggong?
Li Zhen's mind instantly responded to this title, and a name appeared.

Yu Xuandao?
The Yu Xuandao who worked himself to death on the copybook to protect Yang Guang's elder brother Yang Yong?

He said nothing and continued to listen.

Sure enough, after hearing this name, even if the two of them were tied up, their waists straightened a little.

Yu Xuandao, one of Yang Yong's confidantes.

Yu Jin's grandson.

After Yang Yong and Yang Guang failed to compete for the heir apparent, all Yang Yong's cronies, including Yu Xuandao, or Yu's family members, were given various excuses by Yang Guang. was demoted.A lot of people have been implicated... Even Confucianism has been completely involved, just think about it, can others be better?
This is the main reason for the decline of the Yu family.

Are these two sons of Yu Xuandao? ... the two brothers?

Then the problem is coming.

What are these two people doing to bother Lao Du?
Just as he was thinking, Du Ruhui also asked directly:

"You two, I said recently that I have no grievances or enmities with you two, or even strangers. Yuan said that when Duke Wen was alive, he and my ancestors of the Du family also had good friends. The two sides dare not say that they are close friends, but they are also friends. Heroes cherish heroes. With this kind of friendship, let alone know each other, just don’t know each other. If you two come to Hedong, let me know, and I will treat each other with courtesy. Attacking me indiscriminately... dare I ask, what is the intention!?"

What Lao Du said was actually very polite and reasonable.

After all, we were fighting each other before, but now I want to have a good chat with you on the basis of incense and fire, which is very face-saving.

But after hearing this, the young man named Yu Zhining sneered:
"Oh, those who help the evildoers!"

"Zhi Ning!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Baoning scolded his younger brother, and at the same time looked at Du Ruhui who was frowning:
"The skills are not as good as others, and it falls into your hands. If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect. Brother Du, please don't ask too many questions. Even if you ask, my two brothers will not say a word."

When you're done, shut up.

And the young man also kept his mouth shut.

But Du Ruhui heard something, there was no joy or anger in his voice:
"Aiding the tyrant to abuse? How do you say this?"

"..."

"..."

Seeing that the two were silent, he turned his head and glanced at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen still had no plans to come over.

After all... He was not as professional as Lao Du in matters like interrogation.It's better to pretend to be asleep next to him and make side-talk.

Sure enough, after seeing that the Taoist priest hadn't moved, Lao Du thought for a while, and the rope in his hand suddenly loosened a little.

The two moved their arms subconsciously, but found that... they could only move their arms, and it was impossible to loosen them.

"Are you two feeling better?"

Du Ruhui said something nonchalantly.

"..."

"..."

The two still didn't speak, but Yu Zhining's young face showed signs of relaxation.

The rope was tied too tightly just now, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

It must be much better now than before.

Although he didn't say anything, he definitely felt a little more relaxed in his heart.

As everyone knows... this is also what Du Ruhui wanted.

Looking at Yu Zhining who kept moving his shoulders, Lao Du said:
"Brother Zhining seems to have a big opinion on this subordinate?"

Even the virtuous brother yelled out.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhining subconsciously opened his mouth and said:

"nature……"

"Zhi Ning!"

Yu Baoning reprimanded him again, and Yu Zhining was taken aback for a moment... Then he came to his senses, looking at Du Ruhui with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Then the brothers shut up again.

But Du Ruhui didn't care, he just said:

"You two don't need to be so vigilant against me. To be honest, if I didn't recognize the kung fu of the two of you as Wen Gong's Scattering Sky and Star Archery, I'm afraid your bones would have been buried together with those soldiers. Wengong Yingming I, even if the two of you offend me, I will not hurt you as a killer. The so-called famous officials do not serve the two masters, and I admire you. Treat each other with courtesy. After all, the scattered arrows did not hurt me."

Hearing this, Yu Baoning calmly shook his head:

"Brother Du, there is no need to insinuate the two of us. My family survives only by integrity. Once I promise to others, I will not break my promise. I know what Brother Du wants to ask, so I can only tell you, my two brothers." People are ordered to stop you, but they must not kill you. - Scattering Sky and Falling Star Arrows are not that weak, it's just that my brother and I can't attack by force. That's all, Brother Du, don't ask any more questions. Now that it's in your hands, how do you do it? Disposal, my brother and I have no complaints."

He didn't seem to say anything.

But Du Ruhui understood the subtext inside.

In an instant, his face was clouded.

Get up and perform the ceremony.

"Then please both of you have a good rest. When you get to the place, someone will naturally come forward to deal with you two."

"..."

"..."

The two did not respond.

It's just that the rope was looser, so that the two people would not be back to back. Instead, two strands were separated from the middle, so that they could change their positions and move more conveniently except that they could not escape.

Du Ruhui walked to the side of the carriage, took the burden off the carriage, put it on his head, and lay down.

Right next to Li Zhen.

So Lao Li could clearly see his frowning.

He understands.

Because the most critical part of Yu Baoning's words is what he said to Du Ruhui, "Don't kill yourself".

Why can't Lao Du be killed?

Very simple.

Because Lao Du is from an aristocratic family.

And who would follow such a rule?

There are only aristocratic families.

The aristocratic family did not dare to start this, because once it started, it would become a "broken" person in the eyes of other aristocratic families.

In this case, this family that broke the rules will be excluded from the circle.

As for the aristocratic family that has left the circle, if they want to continue to maintain their position... it is simply a fantasy.

No longer possible.

It is not too much to say that it is difficult.

Perhaps nothing will be seen in a short period of time, but ten years, 20 years, 50 years later...maybe they will go into decline completely.

Of course, this rule is not absolute.

When dynasties change and the old and the new alternate, bloodshed often occurs.

In the end... nothing more than winner and loser.

But right now, although wars are raging everywhere, at least there is no extreme chaos.

This rule is still the iron rule.

Under the iron rule, the person who issued the attack order had to save Du Ruhui's life.

Besides the family, who else?
That's why Lao Du's expression was so embarrassing when he understood this point.

Then the problem is coming.

This aristocratic family hiding behind... who is it?
