Chapter Forty-Nine: The Rabbit and the Fox are all sad and temperamental, and they have doubts and suspicions
Inside the main hall,
After the elders retreated, they fell into a long silence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the brightly lit hall, figures on the ground writhed with the flickering of the firelight. I could vaguely smell the breath of death from the two scarlets on the ground.
Wu Fa and Wu Tian kicked off the life-and-death duel between the two families of Zhu Li with their deaths, and neither side would have a way out.
For a hundred years, the Li clan has advocated hegemony in the rivers and lakes, and they are the biggest force in the rivers and lakes. However, the Zhu family chose to follow the ancestral teachings, waiting for the fateful person, and unsealing the reincarnation that had been waiting for thousands of years.
The dispute between the two families, from the initial opinion to the left, to the later covert action, both sides held a certain restraint and encroached on each other. Even a few years ago, because of the news of Xiao Ran, the two sides had already misfired, and a war broke out for a time, but in the end they still chose to settle the matter.
And this time, there is really no room to stop, which is a rare excuse for the Li family, who has been preparing for war for a long time. And the Zhu family was able to sanction the Li family on the grounds of violating the ancestral teachings.
Alas...
"Elder Liang, from now on, send more people to watch over Elder Seventeen. ”
Zhu Shirong sighed softly, raised his head and commanded Liangtang, and in Liangtang's surprised gaze, he hesitated for a moment and added: What if... If there is any abnormal movement, it will not be counted.
"Yes, Lord Valley, I'll do it right away. ”
Liang Tang didn't ask much why, just nodded and responded to the matter.
The Seventeenth Elder has always been loyal, and he has rarely made mistakes in his work. The problem is that his wife is the daughter of the Li family, and even a partial lady in the Li family, which may be the reason why the valley lord suspects him.
At such a time, it is true that we cannot make mistakes, and for the sake of our own interests, we would rather kill mistakes than let them go. However, Liang Tang felt very bad in his heart, which made him feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Liang Tang looked lonely, shook his head lightly and turned his head to walk out of the main hall, Zhu Shirong stopped him again.
"Elder Liang, over the years, I have rarely managed the affairs of the valley, and you have always been in charge of affairs. ”
"Now this matter is also your help, I can understand everyone's feelings, no one wants to be someone else's knife, I think you can understand what I mean. ”
Zhu Shirong said with a pun and a meaning, which was full of warnings.
"The valley master is too worried!"
"Being in charge of the affairs of the valley is just forced by the situation, and now it is indeed me who is trying to promote this matter, and it is just for the future plans of my sad valley robes. I do have selfish intentions, after all, people always have to make some plans for their heirs when they are old, but my loyalty to the ancestral teachings can be shown every day. ”
Liang Tang stopped and didn't look back, but his words were much more indifferent, not like in the past, he spoke and acted like an old naughty boy.
"Then I am relieved,
"I hope Elder Liang can understand my hard work and don't be too surprised. ”
Zhu Shirong listened to his words, and seemed to feel that he had broken the old man's heart a little.
After all, for so many years, it has been this old man who has supported the entire overall situation, and has been dealing with the Li family all the way to this day. It was this old man who made the Li family suffer a lot with his unreasonable naughty childlike style, and he spoke and acted according to his preferences, and it seemed that he was really worried about himself.
"I can understand the mood of the valley master, and his subordinates retire!"
Liang Tang bowed slightly and said a word, and walked out of the main hall.
The body that is usually straight is a little rickety at this time, and the back looks lonely under the light of the candlelight, and it is no longer like the "rolling three knives" Liangtang who never obeys the old and is arrogant.
Rolling three knives is a nickname for Liangtang by the people of the sad valley, ridiculing this old man as a hob meat, and he is not particular about doing things, which is more ruthless than the person who specializes in "plucking the feathers of geese and leaving a voice over birds".
Over time, he got a nickname for rolling three knives, which is also very appropriate, and Liangtang is quite satisfied with it, feeling that this nickname is too much to his liking.
"Alas!"
"Shirong, you really broke his heart this time, Liangtang's style of acting can be said to be forced, if you hadn't picked on him back then, he wouldn't have become this old disrespectful old naughty boy!"
Zhuang Xin opened his eyes, looked at the Liangtang that disappeared outside the main hall, and sighed, with a hint of accusation in his words.
The other six pavilion elders did not say anything, but from their expressions, it could be seen that they also agreed with Zhuang Xin's opinion.
In fact, Zhu Shirong himself understands that among the entire Zhu family, the person who will not betray the least, and the person who is the least likely to betray, is him.
It can only be said that under the suddenness of this incident, he also has some cups and snakes.
This is also the reason why the Seven Pavilion Elders did not stop him, after all, he is the nominal valley master, no matter whether he speaks a little excessively or not, the starting point is understandable.
And after walking out of the main hall, he returned home expressionlessly, called a disciple to bow his head and give a few orders, then turned his head back to the bedroom, and the rest of the disciples saw that his face was gloomy, so they didn't dare to disturb him.
Early in the morning.
Liang Tang got up early and walked alone to the study, sat down at the table and bowed his head to ponder for a while, then picked up the pen and began to write on the yellow paper.
"Grandpa, what are you writing about?"
At the age of sixteen, Liang Wanru, who looked like a flower and jade, walked in with a cup of tea, her voice was as melodious as a wind chime, and she ran to Liangtang's side with small steps, and looked at the yellow paper on the table curiously.
"It's Wanru, grandpa is writing a letterhead. ”
"Do you remember Ling Zifeng's little bastard? This is what it was written to him. Liang Tang looked up at his granddaughter and smiled kindly.
"Brother Zifeng,"
"Grandpa, do you really mean Brother Zifeng? where is he?" Liang Wanru jumped up with joy, pulling Liang Tang's arm, and her little face was full of excited smiles.
"Hey, hey,"
"Don't shake your girl, didn't you see your grandfather writing? Really, you are so excited when you mention that little bastard, you are raised in vain!" Liang Tang complained angrily, what the ancients said is really credible, it is really a girl who is outgoing.
Hey!
Liang Wanru didn't care about her grandfather's complaints, she knew that her grandfather was not angry, she just lay on the corner of the table and silently watched her grandfather write. The content is very weird, there is no connection between each sentence at all, and there seems to be some code words hidden, which she can't understand anyway.
"Okay, don't look at it,"
"Phantom Wind, that little conscienceless one, hurry up and call it over. ”
Liangtang put down the brush, took a sip of tea and said.
The phantom wind in his mouth is the eagle falcon that Ling Zifeng gave to Liang Wanru back then, and he named it Phantom Wind, this little guy seems to be born to deal with Liangtang, and Liangtang was so angry with him that he died.
Liang Wanru didn't ask much, put her finger to her mouth and whistled, and a small eagle falcon with clean and shiny hair flew in from a distance and stopped on Liang Wanru's shoulder.
This falcon is a golden falcon, with sharp eyes, the sharp claws on the two claws are extremely sharp, the body is small, good at long-distance flight, the ability to resist the wind is super strong, and the innate spirituality is extremely high, and ordinary masters may not be able to catch him.
The phantom wind was on Liang Wanru's shoulder, constantly fluttering its wings, and the eyes staring at Liang Tang seemed to be full of provocation,
Liang Tang glanced at it angrily, and snorted coldly: "Little thing, you are arrogant, I will pluck your hair and break your belly, half steamed, half boiled, believe it or not!"
When Phantom Wind heard this, the hair on his body stood on end, and he screamed at him, glaring at him with great contempt, as if he was ridiculing him for bragging at all.
Liang Wanru hurriedly reached out and patted its back, and after a while of appeasement, it was only then that its temper subsided, but she just looked at Liang Tang's gaze and was very unwelcome.
Liang Tang didn't entangle with the phantom wind, just carefully folded the yellow paper, put it into a small bamboo tube, and took out the strip of cloth torn from Ling Zifeng's body and wrapped it around.
"Little one, this is a letter for your former master, if you don't care about his life or death, you can choose not to send it. ”
Liang Tang greeted Phantom Wind and said nonchalantly, tilting his neck with an arrogant expression, as if he was very happy to see Phantom Wind ignore him.
The Phantom Wind Neck stretched its neck, very skeptical of his words, flew over and carefully examined the strip of cloth in his hand, and finally stretched out its sharp claws to grab it, and shouted at Liangtang as if mockingly.
Liang Tang didn't care, and said lightly: "He's not far from the cableway, you should be able to find him." ”
The phantom wind whistled softly, circled around the room for a moment, turned around and flew out the door, disappearing into the morning breeze like a phantom.
