Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 843: Change of Mind

Nie Huihou himself was also thinking about what to do if the situation was too unfavorable for Nie Yangwei. However, he couldn't think of a suitable solution after thinking for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He couldn't show his anxiety to let people know that he was guilty. So he tried his best to appear calm. However, because he was too anxious, his face turned a little red, but not to the extent that it would be easily noticed by others.

When Xie Hui saw the man who had put Jian Rou into the bag before, he was surprised: Why is he here at this time?
Pi Deliang noticed that Xie Hui was motionless, as if frozen, so he bent down to look at his face, which was partially covered by the bamboo hat. Although he could not see his expression clearly, he could see that his face was tense. He called out "Second Brother" softly, but Xie Hui kept his previous movements, as if he did not hear anything, until Pi Deliang touched him with his hand, then he turned his head and looked at Pi Deliang.

"What's the matter?" Xie Hui asked in a low voice.

Pi Deliang whispered, "Oh, nothing. I saw that my second brother looked a little unwell, so I was concerned about what happened to him... Is it because he's here too?"

Xie Hui just said "hmm". He had a bad feeling in his heart, and he was afraid that something he had thought of before would soon be proven to be true.

Tan Sizhi asked Jian Rou: "Jian Yueyang, it shouldn't be a problem for you to walk in like this so that everyone can see your legs, right?"

Jian Rou said: "Yes, my legs are normal."

"Your right leg was not injured by being chased and hit as everyone previously thought, right?" Tan Si asked.

Before the others arrived at the Guishen Hall that day, Tan Sizhi had communicated with Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng again, and he had learned some news from them. At this moment, of course, he was sure that the actual situation was as he said, but he wanted Jian Rou to say it herself.

"Yes. The spherical weapon that hit me was not a real pursuit weapon. If I had been hit by a real pursuit weapon, my right calf would have been gone long ago." Jian Rou said.

Tian Wen felt a little uncomfortable seeing Jian Rou speaking so naturally, and thought: She just said it like that?
Tian Sha and Jian Liang could easily understand why Jian Rou said that, and they did not feel uncomfortable. They thought that after all, Jian Rou had stayed in Ao Qian Palace for a night, and the acting clan leader must have said something to her. They also understood that things had come to this point, and if they really could not think of any other solution, her saying this might reduce the punishment.

The person who found it hardest to accept what Jian Rou said was Nie Yangwei. He thought: What's wrong with her? We had clearly agreed on it before! Changing her mind is abominable enough, and she didn't even bother to tell me in advance! The way she spoke, it was as if she came here specifically to prove that I killed someone in the tavern! Who is she testifying for? She is so vicious that she wants to retaliate against me at this critical moment! How did I offend her? I just beat her before, and she's not satisfied even after she hit me back? I've talked about her before, but I just wanted to educate her. Does she have to be like this? I guess she has wanted to retaliate against me for a long time, and she's hiding it so deeply! No, this won't do. I can't let her admit everything just because she said that!
