Section 20 Hongtu Villa
The children of the family always have this unique temperament, which can be clearly seen in this Sima Hong, he is personable and does not speak, especially polite, and does not have the arrogance and domineering energy of the noble sons of the Central Plains. The lady smiled and said, "Heroes don't need to be polite, our Hongtu Villa has always been approachable and informal. You can walk around, and when I come back, I will meet with the heroes. ”
Lu Yu and Lu Yu paced out of the main hall, there were guards everywhere as far as the eye could see, and the entire villa was like a palace, but there were not so many courtesies. The guards here are in groups of three or five, standing and sitting, not like they are guarding at all, but as long as there is a little wind and grass, they immediately cheer up.
This kind of flexible guarding method is indeed unheard of, and it is conceivable that the owners of Hongtu Villa are mostly unruly people. The sky gradually sank, and the days here seemed to be much longer than outside, and the sun was already setting, but when you got here, you could still see the sunset and refuse to retreat.
After nightfall, a gong sound came from a distance, the warriors in armor and blades walked in front in a neat and orderly manner, there were hundreds of people, and there was a person sitting on a high-valued horse behind him, this person was swordsman-eyed, tall and mighty, heroic and majestic behind a kind of elegant wind, it seemed that the owner of the village had returned.
Zen Master Miaoyin's eyes had also opened at this time, and when she saw Sima Xingyun, there seemed to be a sense of pity in her eyes. Sima Xingyun jumped off the horse, ordered everyone to disperse, and came to the main hall, at this time it was already past the time for dinner, but Sima Xingyun was hungry, he waved his hand and said: "Cook the elk that came today, the owner of the village will drink it today!" ”
The people under his hands hurriedly carried the prey down, and Sima Xingyun noticed that there was a group of strangers in the main hall, no, obviously except for Lu Yu, they were all strangers. When Sima Xingyun's eyes swept to Zen Master Miaoyin, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and there seemed to be an indescribable excitement.
He walked over slowly, and when he walked up to Zen Master Miaoyin, he actually knelt down with a puff, and said with a trembling mouth: "Yun'er is not filial, so my aunt has suffered outside!" The eyes in the eyes of Zen Master Miaoyin gradually widened, and she didn't know what to say, and was about to step forward to hug Sima Xingyun, but at this time, the noble lady suddenly interjected: "Yun'er, hurry up, your aunt has finally come to visit, why don't you talk to her for a while?" ”
A seemingly frivolous word of concern interrupted the excitement between them. Zen Master Miaoyin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and kept looking at Sima Xingyun, the personable Sima Xingyun, but at the moment he was like a child, obedient to this aunt, no one knew how deep the feelings between them were!
Coincidentally, these days are the hunting festival of Hongtu Villa, led by the owner of the village a group of Wenchen generals to hunt in the back mountain, this is also a year, the return of the nobles in the island rare day to get together, the ability to celebrate the day of the whole world, the arrival of Miaoyin Zen Master seems to have changed all this.
At the bonfire dinner in the evening, there were several important figures. Sitting on Sima Xingyun's left hand side were several uncles of the Sima family, all of whom looked like they were all skilled in martial arts. The leader is the eldest uncle Sima Jiong, followed by the second uncle Sima Tong, and the fourth uncle Sima Jiannan.
Sitting on the right hand side is the Yan family, the second largest family on the island, and in one row is the eldest Yan Kui, the second Yan Ming, the third Yan Zhong, and the fourth Yan Ji'an. Originally, the Yan family had five brothers and one sister. Everyone knew where Yan Wuye went, Lu Jin and Tan Zhi didn't dare to squeak, they could only listen to Sima Xingyun's introduction, and Sima Xingyun was also secretive. As for a younger sister, it is naturally Sima Xingyun and Sima Hong's mother Yan Lan.
The owner of the island is the Sima family, but the Yan family has to marry the Sima family for generations, especially the wife of the island owner, who must be the Yan family, which has become an unwritten law for a hundred years. Yan Yuxuan, the eldest daughter of Yan Kui, the boss of the Yan family, has also become a peerless beauty in recent years. Although he is only sixteen years old, his words and deeds are all in the style of everyone, and his proud martial arts have few opponents on the island. She is the best person to marry Sima Xingyun!
But does Sima Xingyun like this girl or not? No one knows, no one wants to know, because the imperative never needs to be cared about. Halfway through the banquet, Yan Ming walked to the middle and said loudly: "Today's good wine and good meat, how can you have fun without a sword." Saying that, a blue light sword flashed out from behind him, its swordsmanship is exquisite, rare in the world, and the subtlety is highlighted in the illusion, with a gentle breeze, as if in another world.
The people of the Sima family are not to be outdone, Sima Jiannan is the best person in the Sima family's generation, the legend of a Meng Yan sword in his hand is the Warring States Period, the sword held by Meng Yanjun in the four sons of the Warring States Period, the sword is sharp, the sword light is terrifying, when the sword is out of the sheath, a strong sword aura will rush out of the sky, where the cold light goes, the wind and water rise. It was an elegant thing for the two to dance the sword at the dinner, but when the sword came into the hands of these two people, they couldn't see the elegance at all, but a murderous and murderous aura.
The Yan family has been a retainer of the Sima family since ancient times, but in recent decades, the Yan family's power has become more and more powerful, especially the boss Yan Kui, whose soldiers account for as much as half of the returned islands. The Yan family's swordsmanship is also miraculous, and it has a tendency to overshadow the Sima family. In order to maintain such a balance, it is imperative to marry.
But over the years, the Yan family has often gone even further, especially these uncles, all of whom are good at using swords, and they are rampant on the island, and Sima Xingyun has nothing to do. Fortunately, Sima Xingyun has several capable uncles, especially this Sima Jiannan's swordsmanship, which is simply amazing, and this is also the most feared figure of the Yan family. Because in the final analysis, Sima Xingyun is his own nephew after all, but this Sima Jiannan is different, he is really a member of the Sima family.
After a few glasses of wine, the faces of these two turned red, and the sword in their hands was held tighter, and when the swords were facing each other, the sharp eyes of the two seemed to be more chilling than the sword light, especially Yan Ming. Yan Ming's eyes were not just a challenge to Sima Jiannan, but a deep hatred. No one knows why he hates him so much!
The moon and stars are scarce, and the starlight in the sky is pitiful, Duan Shuai is sitting alone by the river, the wine jug in his hand is ticking, and the remaining wine drips on the stone slab, crisp and cold. The beard on Duan Shuai's face grew layer after layer, the unkempt hair almost covered his entire face, and a gentle breeze blew, revealing only a drinking mouth and a pair of misty eyes.
Lao Huo is not here, Lu Yu is not around, Duan Shuai really has nowhere to go. The huge rivers and lakes, the entire Wulin League, have not found a woman for so many years, and she is still an extremely conspicuous and beautiful woman. Duan Shuai smiled stupidly, smiling so desolately. He really had nowhere to go, and when he thought of Sima Xingyun nearby, his heart suddenly shook, and it seemed that only his Hongtu Villa there could hold his full of hatred.
Duan Shuai didn't think about it, so many years of life on the riverside had made him grow from a big man who was not familiar with water in the north to a boatman who knew how to use water in the south. That's right, if he says that he is a boatman now, no one will question it, his image is too much like a boatman, even he himself feels that he is a boatman, and everything before is just a spring dream.
Duan Shuai's boat was heading towards the returning island, but Yan Ming on this side gradually struggled, after more than a hundred moves, Sima Jiannan's sword qi seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, Yan Ming could really feel that he was powerless, so he had to retreat one after another, no one wanted to see the scene of blood splashing on the spot, but it seemed that except for Sima Xingyun, no one could make them stop.
As for Sima Xingyun, he didn't say anything at this time, the Yan brothers here are about to become ants on a hot pot, but Sima Xingyun is still talking and laughing. Knowing that the sharp blade in the hand of the third elder of the Yan family was about to be unsheathed, Sima Xingyun said aloud: "Okay, okay, the two wonderful swordsmanship is extraordinary, please return to their respective positions!" Hearing this, Sima Jiannan's sword stopped, and just as he was about to withdraw, this Yan Ming's blue light sword slashed from below and slashed directly at Sima Jiannan's chest.
A bloody light streaked across the sky, and a hoarse shout resounded through the sky, and Sima Jiannan fell in response. No one expected Yan Ming's move, the two brothers of the Sima family all jumped up, and several brothers of the Yan family did not show weakness, except for Yan Kui, who was silent, they all got up one after another. Sima Jiong grabbed Yan Ming's shirt and scolded sharply: "You, you dog bastard, what kind of ability is it to hurt people with secret arrows!" ”
Yan Ming snorted and laughed: "Brother Sima, you should always rest, you see that my sword move is not very good and hurt Brother Jiannan, but it is a dangerous thing to test the sword in martial arts, and it is only because Brother Jiannan's swordsmanship is not proficient enough!" As he spoke, he tore off Sima Jiong's hand and walked away. Sima Zhong was furious, and after helping Sima Jiannan up, he flew to Yan Ming, and beckoned to him after a few strokes, but Sima Zhong was indeed not Yan Ming's opponent, and after a few moves, he fell behind.
At this time, Sima Xingyun was furious in his heart, and was about to speak, but Yan Kui, who was immobile at this time, preemptively said: "Presumptuous! Give me all back! These Yan family brothers still listened to Yan Kui's words very much, and they all walked back with their heads down, and then Yan Kui bowed to Sima Xingyun again, and said: "The old man is not strict in disciplining his brothers, causing Jiannan Xian Brother to be seriously injured by this, it is really an unforgivable crime!" ”
Sima Xingyun, who was originally going to stand up for Sima Jiannan, suddenly lost his confidence, he really couldn't imagine that Yan Kui would take the initiative to bear Yan Ming's fault, which made it difficult for him to speak for Sima Jiannan. Sima Xingyun shook his sleeves and came over, he ignored Yan Kui, but came directly towards Sima Jiannan.
Yan Ming's sword was really powerful, it hit Sima Jiannan's vital point, a big hole was torn open in his chest, gurgling blood seeped out, and the whole person fainted due to excessive blood loss, Sima Xingyun greeted, and everyone hurriedly carried Sima Jiannan down the field. The Sima Jiong brothers also left angrily.
