Grandpa, she can't be a woman

Chapter 226 They Don't Have the Capital to Negotiate Conditions
Beili people generally get married relatively early, and Hu Yansong himself has two sons.

In his opinion, let alone 10 taels of gold for a son,
Even if the two sons are packed together...he can't afford that much money.

"You have indeed thought about this question before."

Yun Xiao did not refute Hu Yansong's point of view.

After all, 10 taels of gold is definitely not a small amount even for a large family.

In such a big family, everyone has interests involved, not everyone is willing to pay this money to save someone who is not so close to them.

That's why Yun Xiao made preparations in advance——

"Among the letters sent by the orphan to those powerful families, there are enough handles to overthrow them all.

If they don't bring the gold as Gu said,
Even if all the people in my Qingyun village are slaughtered, those clues will still be spread to the world.

The dog emperor is suspicious by nature, especially at such a precarious juncture, what he fears most is that there will be traitors around him.

Once those things are exposed, and the dog emperor investigates even the slightest clue, he will rather kill by mistake than let it go.

That is to say..."

Yun Xiao chuckled, and concluded slowly:
"The 10 taels of gold is more of a hush money than a ransom."

"...Aren't you afraid that after they give you the gold, you still reveal everything?"

"It should be because of fear."

Yun Xiao calmed down and asked in a calm manner:
"But what does that have to do with loneliness?
They don't have any capital to negotiate conditions with Gu. "

"..."

When he left Hu Yansong's residence, the sky was almost completely dark.

Pei Yi held a torch and walked beside Yun Xiao, listening to the occasional crackle and crackle of the fire, it took a while to realize that Yun Xiao was not going back to her residence.

"Aren't you going back to rest?"

"The wind is blowing quite comfortably tonight."

Yun Xiao raised her head slightly, her walking speed was not fast, but because of the night wind on the mountain, her black hair and robe still stretched out behind her,
With the lights on and off, that thin figure seemed a little lonely for no reason.

Is it because of life experience?
Pei Yi thought of the news he learned from Qian Pengtao today.

He pursed his lips, wanting to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, he had few relatives since he was a child, so he really didn't know much about this kind of thing.

Fortunately, Yun Xiao is not a person who needs to be comforted by others.

She stood quietly on the top of the mountain, facing the dark and quiet valley for a long time,

It was so long that Pei Yi even thought she fell asleep standing up,
Just turned around suddenly.

As the mountain wind blew, a few wisps of ink brushed across her cheeks,
Under the already dim light of the fire, it became even more difficult to see her expression clearly.

I can only see her bright eyes reflecting the firelight,
And... there seemed to be a faint smile on his lips.

"Did you see that bird that flew past just now?"

Yun Xiao pointed to the empty sky in front of her:

"The little wooden bird my dad gave me has been studied a lot, and I always feel that when a bird flies, its wings should be flapping non-stop.

But the bird just now flapped its wings only occasionally. Most of the time, the two wings were open and motionless. "
