Chapter 13: Chess Pieces
Tian Yezi closed his eyes peacefully, without pain, as if he was asleep, perhaps as he himself said that there were no regrets in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Thousands of residents stood silently in the rain to mourn their fallen heroes.
Mr. Wen shook the feather fan lightly and said, "The craftsman is at ease." City Lord, now that the weather is hot and the climate is changing, you better let the craftsman put him into the ground as soon as possible. ”
"Mr. Wen is right, come and carry down the body of Tianyezi Craftsman."
As soon as he heard this, he was anxious: "No, no! The master said that he would bury his ashes in Lingshan! He said many times before his death that he would be buried with his Yiyi after death! Didn't you also agree to City Lord Lin? If it weren't for that, the master would have died blindly! ”
"Bold!"
Lin Zhenxin had already learned from Lin You's mouth the reason why Tianyezi died, and he scolded angrily: "Gong Yiyun, if it weren't for your collusion with the Forgetful Demon Woman, Tianyezi's craftsmanship is superb, how could he die at the hands of the wicked?" And if the craftsman hadn't forgiven you on his deathbed, and wanted you to inherit the craftsman's inheritance, the city would have punished you a long time ago! Now that the city will bury the craftsman, you have done everything possible to obstruct it and curse the craftsman, what is your intention? ”
Gong Yiyun is just a teenager, he rarely communicates with people, shy and shy, tonight his only relative was traumatized because of his death, under Lin Zhenxin's stern words, he was suddenly too frightened to speak, but he was also extremely stubborn, and he grabbed Tianyezi's body and refused to let go.
Ye Yun noticed that Lin Jingxin and Mr. Wen had different expressions, especially when they heard the word Lingshan, their faces changed, as if they were afraid that others would hear it, and they couldn't help but be secretly strange.
However, these things have nothing to do with him, after the battle with the Purple Sea Demon Lord, he benefited a lot, and the originally unfamiliar Yanlong Sword Technique appeared vividly in his mind, and even inadvertently used Yanlong Fury, one of the four major killing moves of Yanlong Sword Technique, which could not be used before. The flame dragon rage is divided into two fists and swords, the lethality is three times that of normal damage, and it also has a burning power like fire, cultivating to the extreme that even human bones can be burned and melted.
His gaze fell on the Youyun Sword next to Tianyezi's body, and a longing appeared in his heart, how good would it be if this sword was his own?
It's a pity that he knows it's impossible.
If Yezi dies today, the sword naturally belongs to the public loss entrusted by him on his deathbed, but this kid is young, has no strength and no prestige, and even bears the notoriety of framing his master, even if he is reluctant, I am afraid that he will have to obediently hand over the sword in the end, so that the sword will fall into Lin Jingxin's hands.
And what about Lin Jingxin? Although Ye Yun couldn't see through how deep his own cultivation was, even Tianyezi, as a sixth-order powerhouse, didn't want him to make a move, which showed that this person was unfathomable, and he must be tempted by such a divine sword, as can be seen from his harsh reprimand.
But if Lin Jingxin is a smart person, he will not take the Youyun Sword for himself, just think about it, as soon as the Youyun Sword was born, it provoked the three masters to come and snatch it, if he Lin Jingxin dared to leave this sword, it would not be a small smelting house that would become a ruin, but the entire northern city.
If he was Lin Jingxin, he would give this sword to someone who had strength and could bring him many benefits.
"If I don't follow the master's last words and bury the master at the foot of the Spirit Mountain, even if my father-in-law dies, I will definitely not hand over the Youyun Sword!" The short boy trembled in the wind and rain, and although his lips were so pale that there was no trace of blood, he was so stubborn that he would not back down a single step.
Lin You looked at him with some pity, and said to Lin in shock: "Dad, why can't we bury his ashes in Lingshan according to the instructions of the craftsman?" Although Yuecheng is far away from our northern city, it is ten days and a half months away, so we can still get there? ”
Mr. Wen sighed and whispered, "Miss, you are still young and you don't know." The woman who Tianyezi craftsman loves is named Murong Yiyi, who is the biological mother of His Majesty Emperor Xuan's favorite concubine, and the ruthless wife of Murong Ruthless, a general with supreme power in the current dynasty, who is the first lady, how can she ......"
"Huh?"
Lin You opened his mouth, "Wouldn't it?" It turns out that what the old man likes is His Majesty's mother-in-law? ”
"Isn't it? Moreover, Lingshan is the holy mountain of our Cold Moon Empire, and only the emperor's relatives and relatives who have made great contributions to the country are eligible to be buried in the Lingshan Cemetery after death. Master Tianyezi was unconscious when he was dying, so how can we take it seriously? ”
Lin Jingxin smiled helplessly, his tone was a little softer, and he patted Gong Yiyun's shoulder: "Little brother, I know that you want to fulfill your master's last wish, I promise you that you can set up a craftsman mausoleum in our north city, and sculpt a bronze statue for the craftsman to commemorate his great achievements, and set up a craftsman temple, the lights will not be extinguished, isn't it much better than letting the bones of the craftsman travel a long distance?" ”
"I don't want to ......" Gong Yiyun left tears, but his hand loosened a little, Lin was shocked, and those soldiers seized the opportunity to carry Tianyezi's body away.
"Sister Worry, why did you lie to me, why did you lie to me and say that the master would be fine?" Seeing his most beloved person leave him, he was physically and mentally exhausted and fainted.
Ye Yun sighed lightly: "It's a woman again." ”
When Lin You heard this, he couldn't help but snort.
Seeing that Tianyezi's body was taken away, the residents of Beicheng also dispersed quietly, only some blacksmiths were reluctant to leave, wandering on the ruins of the smelting residence.
Lin was shocked to reach out and take the Youyun Sword.
Who expected that as soon as his fingers touched the sword, the sword body immediately vibrated and emitted a blue light similar to lightning, shaking his hand away.
"How so?" Lin was taken aback and quickly withdrew his hand.
"City Lord, are you alright?" Zhu Mingye hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Lin shook his head in horror and looked at the sword on the ground: "Liufang, well, it's time to call it Youyun Sword, Youyun Sword is cast from the six-sided dark iron used by the Suxue Fairy for 1,200 years to resist the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, I'm afraid that only a strong person above the fifth order can use it, and I can't control it in a normal state." This sword is really mysterious, and the craftsman can make such a divine sword, which can be called a divine craftsman. ”
His voice was somewhat regretful.
Lin You looked at Ye Yun, revealing a look of suspicion, she didn't believe that Ye Yun, a thief, would have a fifth-order level.
"You'er, what's wrong with you?" Lin Jingxin noticed that his precious children looked a little strange, and asked.
Lin You hesitated for a moment, and said in a voice: "Without the fifth order, Ye Yun can take it, he just relied on this sword to drag the Purple Sea Demon Lord." ”
"What? Can he take it? Lin was taken aback and looked at Ye Yun.
Lin was a little shocking, and said, "Little Brother Ye, you come and try it?" ”
Ye Yun secretly scolded a dead woman, but under the gaze of everyone, he had no choice but to come over and pick up the Youyun Sword casually, and a feeling of being like a fish in water and connected by blood came to his heart.
"Ahh Really affordable! Several people couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw Youyun Sword obediently being held, and Zhu Mingye frowned: "How is it possible, I think you are at most a second-order Dacheng, and the city lord has a third-order Dacheng level without using Dafa, how can you afford to take it that the city lord can't afford?" ”
"Xiaomin doesn't know either."
Lin You snorted and said, "I know." ”
"You know?"
"When I dug up this piece of Hexagonal Xuantie that day, Hexagonal Xuantie sucked his blood, probably for this reason, Hexagonal Xuantie recognized this kid."
"Ah, I also remembered that at that time, the craftsman also said that it was Ye Yun who was resisted by Xuantie because of his lack of skill." Zhu Mingye suddenly realized.
Lin You glanced at Youyun Sword with some regret, and said, "I knew that I would have been sucked by it a little bit that day." ”
Ye Yun couldn't help but want to laugh, handed over the Youyun Sword, and said, "Why don't you try it now and see if you still want it?" ”
"Die!"
Lin You snorted, turned around and left.
Lin Zhenxin patted Ye Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Little Brother Ye, You'er seems to have some opinions about you, have you offended her?" Tell me what is going on, and the city will help you intercede with her. ”
Ye Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, if he said it, it would be even you who were offended, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing." After you bring this sword back to your home, the little people will leave. ”
Lin was stunned and said, "Isn't Little Brother Ye determined to develop in my northern city?" Brother Ye, your martial arts skills are so strong, this city even wants to ask you to fill the position of deputy lieutenant, why are you leaving at this time? ”
Ye Yun smiled and said, "The city lord is kind to the little people, and the little people just want to travel the world and gain a little knowledge." ”
Mr. Wen said: "Ye Gongzi has such knowledge, it is really not comparable to ordinary fishermen, city lord, since Gongzi wants to leave, you have no need to force you to stay." ”
Lin was slightly stunned, how could Mr. Wen say that? Does he think there is something wrong with this Ye Yun? But he knew that he must be justified in saying this, so he said: "Although this city loves talents, but it is not willing to make it difficult for others, in this case, this city can write an introduction for you little brother, so that it is convenient for little brother to travel." ”
"Thank you, city lord."
The sooner you escape, the better, if you delay longer, you will be killed by Lin You's cold arrow sooner or later.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, it was already early in the morning, although he had no sleep all night, Ye Yun was not much tired, and he ate pastries in a living room by himself.
On the other side of the secret room, Lin Jingxin was discussing with Mr. Wen and Zhu Mingye.
"Ming Ye, according to Mr. Wen's plan, you will immediately lead two thousand elite soldiers to the Purple Sea Demon Lord's lair, annihilate all the remaining pirates there, and retrieve the treasure they have looted for many years."
Zhu Mingye nodded and said, "This is the subordinate, the Purple Sea Demon Lord brought their elite troops last night, and now the nest must be empty." ”
Looking at his back, Mr. Wen shook his fan and said: "The Blood Knife Gate is far away from our northern city, if their disciples want revenge, they have to pass through Xilin, Jade Soul and other cities, it is difficult to pose a threat, now we are most worried about the Forget Worry Fairy, her Forget Worry Valley is located in the Xilin Mountain, quite hidden, and good at all kinds of poison techniques, if she wants to retaliate, it will cause us endless harm." ”
Lin stared at the Youyun Sword wrapped in cloth with frightened eyes, and said with some irritation: "The worst thing is that the Youyun Sword is here with us, even if they don't come, it will inevitably be that masters from farther away will come to plunder, and then I am afraid that Beicheng will never have peace." Thinking about it, Tianyezi's sixth-order strength couldn't protect this sword, and now that he's dead, this sword really doesn't know how good it is. ”
Mr. Wen smiled and said, "The city lord is very eager to get this sword in his heart, but you and I both know that this sword cannot be left in the northern city, there is only one way to solve it." ”
"Please sir."
"It's easy, just send it out."
"Send? To whom? ”
Mr. Wen smiled: "The city lord knows it, right? A month later, it will be the fiftieth birthday of His Majesty Emperor Xuan, if the city lord dedicates this sword to His Majesty Emperor Xuan, there should be an unexpected harvest, right? ”
"Hah! Mr. Wen deserves to be my brainstorm! But, in your opinion, who is the best one to send this sword? ”
"Of course it's Miss Yu. Hasn't she been thinking about the imperial capital Yuecheng and seeing the prosperity of Yuecheng, besides, although there is no prince in my Cold Moon Empire, only Yuecheng has the most high-ranking officials and nobles, right? With Miss You's natural appearance, I am afraid that when the time comes, the Lord of Lin City will be able to marry a certain adult, which will be of great benefit to Beicheng. Although Wen's words are a bit of a profit, they are the truth, and they are also based on Miss You's own thoughts. ”
"This is the best, but I'm worried that if You'er holds this sword, I'm afraid that it will provoke a strong man to take it, so what should I do?"
"This is the reason why Wen didn't let the city lord keep Ye Yun."
"What's wrong with Ye Yun and him?"
"It's very simple, now only Ye Yun can carry the Youyun Sword, as long as you let Miss go on the road together, first, you can protect Miss, and secondly, if something happens, Ye Yun is also the first target, even if it reaches the worst point, with Miss Skill, there is a chance to escape."
Lin was shocked and said, "Mr. wants to sacrifice Ye Yun?" ”
Mr. Wen shook his head and said, "No, this person is not so easy to die. It gives me a strange feeling that although he is not very mature now, he will probably be the most terrible person in the world if he develops. In my opinion, his previous experience was anything but ordinary. ”
Lin Jingxin frowned and said, "Mr. Wen has overthought it." Now the world is not stable, it is not surprising that ordinary fishermen know martial arts, and his skills are not very profound, let alone me, Ming Ye can take his life within ten moves. And, as far as I can see, he has a good conversation, but he is illiterate, which is very much in line with those who fish in the purple sea. If I have any doubts about him, I won't allow him to join us in the North City. ”
Mr. Wen smiled and said, "I hope I was wrong." But there is one thing that can be used, a young man of his age is the most bloody, and I heard that he wants to protect a beauty like Miss You, I am afraid that he will not hesitate to lose his life. ”
Lin was speechless, and said for a moment: "Mr. Wen." ”
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that Mr. Wen, you are actually smiling treacherously."
"Isn't it bad to be a traitor? I'm very loyal to the lord of the city. ”
......
"Wait, City Lord, why do you keep introducing me to the good of Moon City? Although the capital city is good, I don't want to see it much..... "From the time he finished eating at noon to the time when the sun went down in the afternoon, Lin kept telling Ye Yun how prosperous the imperial capital Moon City was, how easy the money was, there was gold everywhere, and even how he caught up with Lin You in Moon City back then......
Lin was shocked to see that it was almost over, he took a leisurely sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Actually, I want you to do a favor, Little Brother Ye." ”
Ye Yun had already guessed that he had such a good heart, he would help him carefully make an ultimatum document that was close to perfection, what has been filial piety to his parents, love the empire, hard work, law-abiding, solidarity and mutual assistance, and hard work, he was embarrassed to listen to him read Ye Yun.
There was no way, in order to follow the ultimatum, he said like a defeated chicken: "If the city lord has any orders, please tell me." ”
Lin said with a shocked smile: "It's nothing, I just want to ask Little Brother Ye to visit Moon City before you travel the world, there are many scenic spots in Moon City, such as ......"
"Okay, okay! Your Excellency, you have already said that outside the city, there are Lingshan Mountain, Chuanyun Mountain, Diecai Lake, Lingbo Cave, Xiaoyao Peak, Baiyunling, Longshou Valley, and there are Imperial City, Seven Star Altar, Drunken Wind Tower, Moon Pavilion, Green Causeway, Nian Tiantai, General Changsun's Mansion, Su University Scholar's Mansion, ah, and the headquarters, where the girl asks for a very high price, right......"
Lin Zhen smiled so much that all the wrinkles on his face appeared, and said: "Little Brother Ye has a really good memory, but you missed a few, the top of the wind and rain used by the duelists in the city, the ten-mile dust washing pavilion outside the city, well, there are some new buildings in the past ten years, the old man is not very clear, I only remember that there is a remnant blood tavern, I heard that the wine there is good, and there is a discount for more than ten cans." ”
Ye Yun was in a coma.
"The city lord doesn't just want me to visit Moon City, right?"
Lin said in shock: "No, of course not, how boring it is to visit Moon City alone, I want Little Brother Ye to accompany my family You'er to play there, she always said that she is bored at home and wants to go out for a walk, you also know, as the lord of Beicheng, I am busy with official business, and the craftsman cemetery is about to start, as one of the overseers in this city, how can I take it lightly at this juncture?" But she couldn't stop You'er from begging bitterly, so I had to ask Little Brother Ye to help me as a father, alas, the family and the country can't be both, I'm ashamed! ”
Ye Yun suddenly felt that Lin was like a fox, still a very old kind, and after talking for a long time, it turned out that he wanted to escort Lin You to Yuecheng by himself. He vaguely felt that things were not simple, if it was really Lin You's dead woman who was bored in Beicheng and wanted to go to the big city to play, she wouldn't need herself at all.
Sure enough, Lin Jingxin continued: "But now this world is not very quiet, and robbers such as the Purple Sea Demon Lord, the Forgetful Fairy, and the Blood Knife Ancestor abound, so I hope that Little Brother Ye will bring a better weapon before going out, such as the Youyun Sword built by the craftsman of Tianyezi, if you bring it, the city will be much more relieved, such a simple request, Little Brother Ye should not disappoint the city, right?" ”
Ye Yun smiled bitterly, it has come to this point, can he not agree?
But he still had one last glimmer of hope, and said, "But City Lord, Miss You, she looks at me very unpleasantly, is she willing to go to Moon City with me?" ”
Who would have expected Lin to laugh and say, "Why don't you want to?" I heard that you can go on the road with Little Brother Ye, You'er was so excited that she wiped and wiped her cold jade bow! Looking at her appearance, I can't wait to leave immediately. ”
Ye Yun almost foamed at the mouth, of course he knew the reason for Lin You's 'excitement', no need to ask, she wanted to wait until she went to a deserted place and shot herself with an arrow to avenge her, thinking of this, he said weakly: "City Lord, do whatever you say." ”
……
After coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, a short figure was wandering around the corner of the street, and when he saw Ye Yun, he immediately ran over and dragged Ye Yun to a remote place.
Ye Yun frowned, looked at this Gong Yi Yun, who was already the head of all the blacksmiths in Beicheng, and asked, "What advice does the Gong Loss Craftsman have?" ”
Gong Yiyun looked left and right with a pair of small eyes, and when he saw that there was no one, he whispered: "I heard that you are leaving Beicheng and traveling to other places, right?" ”
Ye Yun nodded and said, "Yes, could it be that the master wants to help bring some specialties from all over the world back?" I'm not very convenient to be lazy by nature, and I don't want to bring more luggage, and I don't know how many years it will take to come back, I'm afraid it will disappoint you. ”
Gong Yun shook his head, took out a small bottle from his arms, stuffed it into Ye Yun's hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ye Yun, this is my master's ashes." ”
Ye Yun was taken aback and said, "The ashes of the Tianyezi craftsman? How could it be, I watched the ashes of Tianyezi's predecessors placed by the city lord in the temporarily rebuilt Craftsman Temple, how could I be here? ”
Gong Yiyun said in a low voice: "That bottle is fake, I burned a pig to ashes in an iron-making stove, and replaced the pig's ashes with the master's ashes and put them in the temple." ”
Ye Yun's eyes widened: "So, it's not a pig that everyone worships?" ”
Gong Yiyun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Shhh, don't be so loud, it will be troublesome for others to hear it, Brother Ye Yun, Sister Worrying said that there are so many people in Beicheng, you are the most powerful, and it is not with Lin City Lord and them, I want to think about it, so I have to ask you to help me." ”
Ye Yun was stunned, "Sister Worry? Are you talking about the Forgetful Fairy? ”
Gong Yiyun nodded, and said: "Yes, Sister Worrying said that he has been following you since the excavation of the Six Directions Xuantie, and neither my master nor Lin Jingxin found her, only Brother Ye Yun, you noticed that something was wrong, and also asked Master Lu why I could enter and exit the casting room on the west side of the master." ”
Ye Yun gasped, according to this public loss, that fairy who forgets worries is really not simple, not an ordinary demon girl.
"Brother Ye Yun, are you willing to help me? If you help me with this, I can help you build weapons at a low price in the future, no matter how much, although I don't have the heat of a master, but at least there are more than seventy percent of them. "The public loses the self-confidence of the road.
Ye Yun looked down at the ashes, and learned from Lin Zhenxin that Lingshan could be said to be the symbol of the Cold Moon Empire, and the woman that Tianyezi loved was still the mother-in-law of the current monarch, if he buried Tianyezi's ashes next to the tomb of the mother-in-law of the monarch of the Cold Moon Empire, it would undoubtedly be a blow to the Cold Moon Empire, thinking that he could indirectly desecrate the Cold Moon Empire, Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Gong Yiyun was a little angry: "Brother Ye Yun, what do you mean?" If you don't want to help, give me back the ashes, and I'll put them myself! ”
Ye Yun hurriedly said: "Brother Gong, you misunderstood, Tianyezi Craftsman has forged countless swords in his life, and he is still so infatuated, I, Ye Yun, admire it very much, I will definitely help with this favor." I promise you that as long as I have the opportunity to go to Lingshan, I will definitely bury the ashes of the craftsman next to Murong Yiyi's grave. ”
Only then did Gong Yi turn his anger into joy, stuffed a large handful of golden tickets into Ye Yun's hand, and ran away happily.
Ye Yun can now understand the money tickets a little, at least understand those numbers, when he saw that each one was the kind of one thousand taels that Lin Jingxin gave him that day, and there were seventeen of them, he couldn't help but be shocked, this little guy actually gave himself 17,000 gold coins!
Looking at his distant back, Ye Yun suddenly felt that the urn in his hand became heavy. It's hard to collect this money.
