Chapter 33: The Old Man
At the same time that Sikong Yan and Dugu Xiaomo met, a figure quietly appeared in the backyard of the inn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The man walked slowly under the shadows of the trees, and the mottled shadow of the moon floated past him. The slight grinding sound of the gravel under his feet as his black boots on the dirt road was especially clear in the silence of the night.
Footsteps were slow and steady, moving in the direction of the stables.
There was a clearing in front of the stable, and the man walked slowly out of the shadows of the trees, and the light of the moon moved on the man's face.
has a delicate appearance and a beautiful temperament, although she is dressed in simple cloth, she can't hide her delicate spirit at all.
It's none other than Xuan Ling in Shen Lanying and his party. At this time, she was still holding a dried flower of wheat straw chrysanthemum in her hand, and her eyes stayed on the flower in her hand stupidly, as if there was only this withered wheat straw chrysanthemum left in the world.
And as Xuan Ling stopped in front of the stable, the stable door was also pushed open from the inside with a creak.
At this time, the only person who will feed the horses in the stable is Fengshuang.
"You're finally here. Fengshuang's tone was anxious, but when he saw Xuan Ling's appearance, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Xuan Ling spoke first, her voice was very low, "You left a wheat straw chrysanthemum in front of my door......" Her gaze finally moved from the flower to Feng Shuang's face, this girl who usually looked like a smile, there was a sad look in the depths of her eyes, "This is the joint code set when he was still there, which means to meet quickly...... Now that he's gone, why do you have to remind me of the past? Is there anything you can't tell me in the daytime? Why do you have to ask me out in secret?"
"This ......" Feng Shuang was stopped by Xuan Ling's question, and also realized that her approach was not considered, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry and didn't think about it so much." Seeing you and your brother appear at the Liuhe Inn that day, and you offered to come with us to the martial arts conference in Mingluo Mountain, it really scared me. I finally found an opportunity today, so I was in a hurry to find you, I want to ask you, what are you going to do?"
Xuan Ling looked at the old man in front of her, as if she had seen the scenes of the past years, and her tone became more and more sad, "Fengshuang, I am indeed very happy to know that you are still alive." But you're the least qualified to ask me. You want to know my purpose, so what is the purpose of you following Mr. Sikong now?" she paused, and her gaze returned to the wheat straw chrysanthemum in her hand, "Now that the tree has fallen, all the monkeys on the tree should be scattered, and as for where everyone went, don't worry so much." ”
As everyone knows, Xuan Ling's remarks made Fengshuang even more anxious, and he said in shock: "Could you be ...... But he's too young, and besides, you don't know what our son is thinking, so it's impossible for you to ......."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop......" Xuan Ling said six or seven stops in one breath, Feng Shuang's guess suddenly mixed up all the sadness that rose in her heart, and she said with a look of unbearable expression, "Stop you." I said Fengshuang, I haven't seen you for a few months, but your brain-opening ability has grown a lot! And you help Jing Run? How old is Jing Run's child? Is it okay to just turn five years old! If I really do this, 800 lives are not enough to die, and I don't think I will have that mind if I have a long life. ”
Xuan Ling said this, but Feng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you don't have this idea, I'm afraid that you will be an enemy of Mr. Sikong, and this time I deliberately approached him." ”
Xuan Ling smiled when she heard this: "Then your intuition is quite right, I did mean to get close to Mr. Sikong, but it was just for personal matters." Whether it was in the past or now, I am still a person from Tianquanzhuang, and no matter what I do, I must consider it from the perspective of Tianquanzhuang. ”
Fengshuang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "I understand, you are selling weapons for your Tianquanzhuang in the future, and sorting out your contacts in advance." Seeing that you have also clarified the direction of the future, I am relieved. ”
"That's right. Your worries are completely unnecessary. Besides, I've known each other for so long, and you know me, if I really plan to do something dangerous, how can I still take my brother, a simple and kind rotten good person. By the way, let's meet here, won't Mr. Sikong find out?"
"No, it won't. Fengshuang shook his head firmly and said, "Today, Gongzi has a special matter to deal with, and he sent me and the guards out, leaving only Xia Ke alone." Besides, even if he really found out, he wouldn't be suspicious of the people around him at will. ”
Xuan Ling smiled, smiling very happily, "It is said that good birds choose trees to perch, and seeing that you sincerely follow Mr. Sikong, you have found the master for whom you can fight for your life." Then I'll congratulate you first. ”
Feng Shuang also smiled and nodded, "Although my fate was a little rough in the first half of my life, I finally stabilized." When everything is over, I will definitely come to Tianquan Village to find you, and then you, the owner of the village, will have to take care of food and housing. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Xuan Ling said briskly, "I'll be waiting for you in Tianquan Village then." It's not too early, feed your horses quickly, I'll go back to sleep first, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow." ”
Smiling and waving goodbye, Xuan Ling turned around and returned to her residence. Only she knew that when she returned to the bedroom and plugged in the latch, she could no longer suppress her emotions and lay down on the table and wept silently.
"Brother Han...... It's obviously all your stuff, why don't you fight, why ......"
……
There was nothing to do overnight, and the next day, the group got into the carriage again and set off towards Lijiang, Sikong Yan's original plan was to use Shen Lanying's new identity to live directly in Mufu, and then negotiate with the forces of Mufu. Later, I met the Xuan brothers and sisters and Li Yunxuan, so I temporarily changed my plan and stayed at the inn first.
According to Sikong Yan's plan, they had to travel very slowly on the road so that he could win over the forces along the way. Last night, Sikong Yan had already explained to Shen Lanying that they were going to stay in Lijiang for more than ten days, and they knew without asking that Sikong Yan's target was Yunnan Mufu.
At noon, everyone got out of the carriage, sat down in the shade of the tree, ate some dry food, rested for a while, and prepared to continue their journey in the afternoon. It's just autumn, the weather is getting cooler, and the air smells fresh.
"Look at this. Shen Lanying took a scroll from the car and spread it out on the ground, it was a map of Lijiang, with several red mark circles on it, "I studied it carefully yesterday, the scenery of these places is very good, we happened to pass through Lijiang, it would be a pity not to visit it." ”
