Cannon Fodder Strategy

Ming Baihe is not the real daughter of Murong Fan, even if she is from the Murong family and wants to marry the son of the Lord of Zixiao City, she is already in a high position, not to mention that Lily is just Murong Fan's stepdaughter. If it weren't for Murong Fan, she would be where she is today. life?

"The Young City Master is alive and well now, but when you married me to the Young City Master, he was not what he is today." Lily did not expect that Ming's mother would get excited, and looked at her in surprise, with a very cold attitude. It was only this time that Li Yanxi entered the mission together that she could survive as the young city lord of Zixiao City. Otherwise, the real young city lord would have died long ago. When Ming Baihe married into Zixiao City in the plot, that night she was As a widowed woman, a bride who wanted to celebrate her wedding failed to succeed. Ming's mother never considered that. When she saw Li Yanxi alive, Ming's mother seemed to think that she was ungrateful. Lily's expression turned cold. If it weren't for Ming Ming's mother, There may be desires in the mother that the original owner didn't realize. She doesn't even want to waste time with such a woman at the moment.

"Even so, what can mother do? You fell in love with Mr. Zhaoyang for some reason that day, which made your husband furious. Mother had no way to save you, so she chose this marriage for you." Ming's mother knew that her daughter was resentful. She was a little unhappy when she thought that everyone knew that Ming Baihe liked Li Zhaoyang. Ming Baihe knew that Li Zhaoyang was Murong Xiang'er's fiancé, but she overestimated her ability and fell in love with him. Mother and son The position of these people in Murong's family was very awkward. As a widow with two children, she was able to marry Murong Fan and receive his protection. She had already attracted public attention. Ming Baihe was ignorant and ended up like this. Ming's mother actually felt resentful in her heart.

"It sounds like mother has protected me." Lily blurted out these words, with some resentment in them. After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and Ming's mother was also stunned for a moment. Then he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his tears: "You really blame me, but what can I do? Your father got into trouble and was killed on behalf of others. The enemy found us, mother and son. , you and your brother were still young at that time. If I, a woman, wanted to survive with my two children, what else could I do besides marrying Murong Fan? How could it be possible to save the lives of your brother and sister without any support? If you keep the festival for your father, if you don't remarry, the grass on the graves of the three of us, mother and son, would be as tall as a person!"

Ming's mother also had resentment in her heart when she talked about what happened back then. When Ming's father was still alive, he wanted to avenge injustices for others, but he got into trouble at some point. As a result, he was hunted down and killed. He himself died a hundred times, but left behind a family. Lots of trouble to come. Recalling the situation in the past when she and her children were being chased and fled in embarrassment. If Murong Fan hadn't led the people to save her in time, my mother and son would have died five or six years ago! Murong Fan not only saved her life, but was also willing to give her shelter. In the end, he even married her and gave her a place to live. Compared to his previous husband, when he was with him, he was extraordinarily handsome and famous in the world. Also there. But where did the family live a comfortable life at that time? Ming's mother thought of this. Resentment surged up in my heart again: "If it weren't for Murong Fan's intervention that day, you would have died! How could it be your turn to blame me now?"

Lily looked at Ming's mother wiping her tears and had no intention of stepping forward to comfort her. A wave of sadness filled her heart. She suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and remained silent. Ming's mother just thought that she had convinced her:

"It was not easy for me to marry Murong Fan. If I hadn't married him, how could I have raised you with good food and drink? Although I have bullied you since I was a child, did I ever deprive you of your food and clothing? This time you get married. , did he escort you personally? He even escorted you on this trip, but he was tricked on the way back. He is still asleep and has not woken up. He was not even able to attend Xiang'er's wedding. What else do you have to complain about? of?"

After confirming from Ming's mother that Murong Chuangqing was seriously injured, Lily felt a little relieved for no reason, and she sneered:

"It's really better to say it than to sing it. He knew exactly how Murong Chuiqing got hurt. He deserves it!" When Li Yanxi was sleeping, Murong Chuiqing wanted to assassinate him, but was defeated by Li Zhaoyang. He was injured because he was seeking death. Now, now Er Ming's mother pretended to be alive, saying that he was being plotted against her. Lily suddenly became impatient: "What's wrong with Murong Xiang'er not having her eldest brother attend the wedding? Isn't your stepmother treating her worse than her biological daughter?" Want to like her? When I got married, I didn't even see you or Ming Yi as an escort. Now she has made a lot of money from Murong Xiang'er's marriage. Murong Chuqing can't give it away by herself. Why are you in such a hurry?" You still have the nerve to bother her about Murong Xiang'er's marriage. My eldest brother couldn't attend. What Ming's mother said was really ironic. Lily raised her eyebrows and said, "I always thought that my father passed away. Although my mother is married, at least I still have you and Ming Yi. , now it seems that it is nothing more than that.”

"I used to think that I was ignorant of the world, but the Murong family also made fun of me. I used to carry the Murong family's bowl, but I also served as Murong's favor's punching bag for several years. The Murong family and I will be different from each other in the future. Guanggan, I don’t want to get involved in the Murong family’s affairs. If mother has nothing else to say, it’s already getting late and I have to go back.”

Ming's mother looked at Lily's cold face and felt inexplicable panic in her heart. At this moment, Murong Fanlin's serious instructions and expectant face when she left the house, her own pampered status in the Murong family over the years, and Ming Lily's weak and inferior face in the past. The faces of Ming's mother flashed through her mind one by one, and Ming's mother's face showed a look of struggle. In the end, she still chose her current life. She was already Murong Fan's person, and she could only rely on Murong Fan for the rest of her life. Her daughter Although she was her biological child, she felt distressed, but the water thrown out by her married daughter meant that a woman would still depend on her husband and son for the rest of her life, and it was impossible for her to eat from Li's family. Ming's mother saw Lily turning to leave and quickly stopped her. :

"You said you don't owe Murong Fan, but what do you owe me for the gift of childbirth? How do you calculate it?" Speaking of this, Ming's mother had something to ask for, and she had already clearly stated it, and Lily felt very bored. In the past, the original owner had to endure for many years because of such concerns, Ming's mother's kindness in giving birth, and Ming's mother's happiness in the rest of her life. Now Ming Baihe is no longer here. Ming's mother also wanted to use this matter to ask her for help.

Lily turned around and frowned: "What do you want?"

"Now Prince Li has never mentioned the marriage between Mr. Zhaoyang and your sister Xiang'er. Why do you tell mother? I hope you can say something good for your sister Xiang'er. After all, your husband is not good at what he does. Although this It seems that it is not what the rumors say, but there must be a reason for the groundless rumors. From now on, Mr. Zhaoyang should inherit this Zixiao City. You arrange this marriage. In the future, Mr. Zhaoyang will inherit Zixiao, your sister Xiang'er. It can also give you some light..."

After all, it was for Murong Xiang'er. Lily looked at Ming's mother's worried face for Murong Xiang'er, and didn't know that she really regarded Murong Xiang'er as her daughter. Although she was worried about her life, she was still afraid that she would not be able to handle this matter properly and go back to make Murong Fan unhappy. She thought that Ming's mother worked so hard for Murong Xiang'er and even said such lies as Murong Xiang'er would take care of her in the future. The two Murong brothers and sisters hated Ming, mother and son to the core. Ming Baihe had lived with Murong for several years, but Murong Xiang'er had never looked at her. Hating her to the point of treating her as an invisible person, Ming's mother actually said that she would shine on her. Lily took a few steps back and looked at the anxious Ming mother and laughed: "Mother, do you know why the Li family is so cold towards the Murong family?" ?Do you know how Murong Chuiqing was injured?"

Ming's mother did not expect that she would ask this question, and shook her head subconsciously. Ming's mother was not stupid. She vaguely guessed the meaning of Lily's words. It seemed that Murong Chuiqing's injury was related to the Li family, as if Zixiao City The Li family's sudden change of attitude seemed to be due to some differences between them and Murong Chuiqing. Ming's mother recalled the scene when Li Zhaocheng asked about Murong Chuiqing during the dinner. I felt a little panicked: "Could it be..."

"You care so much about the Murong brothers and sisters. Could it be that Murong Chuiqing even concealed such a thing from you?"

Giving Ming's mother a sarcastic look, Lily turned around and left: "This matter has nothing to do with me. The person you should be looking for is Murong Fan."

"How come it has nothing to do with you? Even if Chongqing's injury was due to a conflict with the Li family, he only came to Zixiao City to see you off. You..." The rest of Ming's mother's words were turned back and glared back by Lily. Unable to speak. Lily really didn't want to say anything more to her at the moment, so she gave her a cold look. A look of struggle appeared on Ming's mother's gorgeous face. After a while, she bit her lip with her teeth and watched Lily gradually leave.

At the bottom of the stairs, Li Yanxi sat on a chair and waited for Lily to come down. Seeing that Lily's expression was a little ugly, he stretched out his hand towards her. He had been waiting for a while, and his fingertips were a little cold now. Knowing that he was getting better, there was no way he would Although he was inexplicably lethargic like before, Lily still stretched out her hand to hold him tightly before complaining:

"Why did you come down first? I don't want to say anything to her." Both of them knew in their hearts that Lily was not the original girl who still loved her mother. No matter how pleasant Ming's mother's words were, no one was willing to be The person she deceived, she could coax the sparrows down from the sky with her eloquent mouth, but she couldn't make Lily move at all.

"Let you have fun with her first, then the drama will be more exciting later." Li Yanxi turned around and took a look. Ming's mother was looking at him from the high stairs. He curled his lips, and the two of them slowly disappeared. In Ming's mother's sight.

Although the current Li family has a dislike for the Murong family because of Murong Chuqing's relationship, but since the Murong family has entered the city lord's palace, there is no reason to drive them out anymore. Although the Li family has been reluctant to take action on this marriage, , but the Murong family didn't know if they had sensed something was wrong. After Murong Xiang'er and his party lived in Zixiao City for half a month, the Murong family began to post hero posts widely, inviting heroes from all over the world to Zixiao City to participate in this game. At the grand meeting, the head of the Murong family also announced that once he is finished with his work in a month, he will rush to Zixiao City to attend his daughter's wedding. This is equivalent to putting Zixiao City on hold.

The marriage was already a sensation in the martial arts world when it was decided on that day. Li Zhaoyang's name was known to everyone in the world. The Murong family had settled in Jiangnan for many years. Murong Fan was also very famous. Murong Xiang'er was even more beautiful. In the eyes of fellow martial artists, it was a match made in heaven. At this time, the Li family had the intention of going back on their word, but comrades from all the major martial arts circles came to attend the wedding of the two families with gifts from their respective sects, but they were already riding a tiger.

The more aggressive the Murong family became, the more disgusted Li Zhaocheng was towards this marriage. A group of people led by Ming's mother stayed in the city. Every day, the servants of Zixiao City treated them very coldly. Ming's mother listened to the rumors outside. Feeling uneasy in their hearts, people from all over the world went to Zixiao City to congratulate Li. Although Li Zhaocheng wanted to greet guests, he never mentioned the marriage. This made Ming's mother faintly worried. She wanted to discuss it with Mrs. Li several times. It is a pity that Mrs. Li announced her retreat after Murong Xiang'er arrived in Zixiao City a few days after Li Yanxi's health improved. Mrs. Li's attitude undoubtedly made Ming's mother even more worried.

Li Zhaoyang wanted to get married, but Mrs. Li, the wife of the city lord, had no intention of helping with the marriage at this juncture. On the contrary, if she is imprisoned, she may not be able to come out in two or three years. Either she has no intention of attending her brother-in-law's wedding, or Mrs. Li intends to take a procrastinating attitude towards the marriage. Now that all the martial arts comrades in the world are here, If the Li family repented at this time, even if the Li family would be infamous all over the world, Murong Xiang'er's life would be ruined. Ming's mother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She was arranged by the servants of Zixiao City to live in the city lord's mansion, but every day was like being in jail. It was not easy to get in and out. Not to mention that Li Zhaocheng could not be seen easily. It was not easy for her to even meet Li Zhaoyang.

Ming's mother originally wanted to meet brother Li Zhaocheng through Lily to discuss the wedding. But after talking to Lily last time, the two mothers and daughters almost fell out. Now Lily doesn't even see her at all. She asked the servants of Zixiao City to help deliver the message. I don't know if they have done it for her. The message was passed on, but in short, the information was lost, and there was no reply at all. The servants of the Murong family were sent, and Lily was not even able to see her face. Ming's mother left the Murong family for a while and was unable to do anything. My heart was also a little clogged.

She couldn't eat or sleep well every day. The people in Zixiao City didn't treat her badly, and the food was exquisite. But under such circumstances, Ming's mother was unsure. How could she swallow the delicacies of mountains and seas? Go on for half a month. Her originally beautiful face gradually became a little haggard, and the color of her originally radiant face became a bit darker. There is a bit of green shadow under the eyes.

"Mom, I haven't been able to eat or sleep well lately, but for Xiang'er's marriage?" Seeing Ming's mother's discomfort in the past few days, Ming also endured it for a few days, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He was born half a quarter of an hour earlier than Ming Lily, and he is only sixteen this year, but he has a mature look. He was deeply influenced by Ming's mother. When he was young, his father lost his father and he stayed in the care of Murong's family, which developed his character of being quiet and cautious. He was different from Ming Baihe who was timid and cowardly. Because he was a boy, Murong Fan raised him as his son's right-hand man, so he was considerate of him. He seriously asked someone to teach him martial arts for several years, although he did not personally teach him. His teaching, Ke Ming and his martial arts skills were quite good. Because of this, he was quite grateful to the Murong family, but he was also dissatisfied with his sister.

He believed that the mother and son owed the Murong family a lot. In the past, Ming Lily showed a sense of bitterness and hatred, and he looked down upon her in his heart. The two brothers and sisters had different ways and did not work together, so he knew that Ming Lily had been tortured in the past. Murong favored whipping, but Ming also looked at her expression as if she was suffering, and sometimes felt that she was ungrateful. In addition, he also knew the identities of the two siblings, and was deeply afraid that his actions would cause trouble for his mother. Over time, After seeing Lily's timid appearance, he naturally looked down on her more and more.

On the contrary, he had a deep love for the noble eldest daughter of the Murong family, but Ming Yi also knew that he was not worthy of Murong Xiang'er at all. Not to mention, his mother came to the house that day and pissed off his sweetheart's mother, Murong Xiang. It was impossible for his son to like him, so Ming Yijian suppressed his affection and only dared to look at the young lady silently.

After Li Zhaoyang and Murong Xiang'er's marriage was finalized, he was sad for a while, but he always knew in his heart that he was not good enough for Murong Xiang'er, so he didn't feel too disappointed. He just knew that Lily was rumored to like Li Zhaoyang. At that time, because he didn't like his sister and was too protective of Murong Xiang'er, he also thought that her sister was shameless, and the relationship between the two brothers and sisters became even more tense. So that on the day Lily was sent to Zixiao City by Murong's family to celebrate, he not only did not stop her, but actually He didn't send her to Zixiao City. After entering the city this time, Ming's mother had visited Lily several times, but he never thought of meeting Lily in private. Firstly, the relationship between the two brothers and sister was weak and they had nothing to say. It can be said that, secondly, it is true that Mingyi also dislikes Lily as a person.

It's just that the situation is different now. Seeing that his mother is working hard and worrying about Xiang'er, Ming Yijian feels sorry for Murong Xiang'er's current embarrassing situation. Although Ming Yijia is secretly happy if the marriage between the two families does not work out, but seeing Murong Xiang When his son became more and more silent, he thought for a while and took the initiative to find Ming's mother and put forward his thoughts:

"Ming Baihe has forgotten the great favor given by her uncle in the past. Now Xiang'er needs her help, but she avoids him. I want to meet her in person and ask her what she means."

When he said this, there was a hint of coldness in Ming Yijian's tone, and he had just finished speaking. Ming's mother hesitated for a moment. She knew what her son meant. What he said about meeting Lily in person was definitely not a normal message. She must have forced her way in. She forcefully gave her daughter medicine to marry into the Li family that day. Ming's mother also knew that this move hurt her daughter's heart. Lily was very cold to her that day, and there was no longer the closeness she had before. Now her son If you want to force your way in, you are not in the Murong family. All the servants of the Li family are good at martial arts. Her son was young and illiterate. Although Murong Fan taught him martial arts for several years, because his surname was not Murong, he did not learn the unique skills of the Murong family. Ming's mother had been pampered and put down martial arts in the past few years, but she had also He lived with his late husband through life and death, and his eyesight is still more or less there.

Lily doesn't have a good impression of the Murong family now. The two brothers and sisters have never been close to each other. If Ming Yijian rushes in so aggressively, he may suffer a loss.

She had to know that Yi Jian had such a son. Although she would have to rely on her husband to dote on her in the future, he would be the one she could rely on for the rest of her life. What's more, what Lily said that night was that the reason why the Li family wanted to go back on their word might be related to Murong Chuqing's injury. She also She didn't tell her son about this. She couldn't figure out the stakes, and she didn't want her son to rush in recklessly. Ming's mother thought about it for a while but didn't have time to nod. Murong Xiang'er's cold voice rang out:

"Since you can't bear it, don't go." She was wearing a Xiangfei-colored dress, with a somewhat cold and bored look on her face. As soon as Ming's mother heard her voice, she stood up instinctively. A flattering smile appeared on her face, and she looked back to see Murong Xiang'er leaning against the door of the inner room. With a contemptuous expression, he hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "It's not that I'm reluctant, how could I not want to handle the things your father assigned me well? I've always treated you as my own daughter..."

Ming's mother's flattery did not please Murong Xiang'er. When she heard this, she just laughed coldly and interrupted Ming's mother:

"I only had one mother, and she died before you came here six years ago."

Because of Mrs. Murong's death, no matter how Ming's mother tried to please her over the years, Murong Xiang'er remained unmoved. Now Ming's mother was slapped in the face by Murong Xiang'er. She felt bitter in her heart but dared not speak. She swallowed her anger and pretended to be someone else. I didn't hear what she said before: "The most urgent thing is to complete the marriage between you and Mr. Zhaoyang. I asked someone to find out. Your father will be heading to Zixiao City in as little as one month or as soon as ten days." Come, just wait peacefully."

As soon as Ming Yijian saw her coming out, his eyes fell on Murong Xiang'er and could not move away. He didn't even listen to what the two people said. He just stared at Murong Xiang'er dreamingly.

"You yourself know best what you are thinking. I don't care whether it is for the marriage between me and Mr. Zhaoyang. You two, mother and daughter, are just ordinary. The old one wants to steal someone's husband, and now he has fallen into this You have a daughter, and you have the same virtues, as if you only stare at other people's men. Whether you are deliberately delaying for your daughter will be clear when my father comes. Don't say anything hypocritical in front of me. It's for my own good. If I believe these nonsense, I'm afraid I will follow in the footsteps of my mother, who doesn't even know how she died." Murong Xiang'er's voice was cold and soft when she spoke, but the words that came out of her mouth were extremely mean, which made Ming's mother understand. Her face turned red, but Weiwei could not utter a word to refute.

"Uncle Guan of the Nanhaiguan family, I sent a gift to Zixiao City. The city lord has sent someone to hold a banquet for the reception. Biluo came to wait on me to wash up. I will attend in person in the evening to see what the Li family is going to do." Murong Xiang After the son finished sarcastic about Ming's mother, he didn't even look at the beauty with pale and blue complexion. He coldly called his personal maid to go in and wait on her. Before leaving, he didn't even look back: "Is it because of your family named Ming? Just like my mother moved a nest for you, now you are probably thinking of ruining this marriage and want me to move a nest for your daughter?" (To be continued~^~)
