Chapter 422: Friend and Foe
Jiang Feng didn't return to Fenglin Pavilion from Jingxin Pavilion until midnight, although the little girl Qiu Qiu was also hardworking, but her body was already weaker than ordinary people, and it was the first day to devote herself to swordsmanship practice, and she had already slept soundly for a long time.
Although Jiang Feng was also the first day of kendo cultivation today, he had always been constantly forcing himself in cultivation, and he was almost paranoid, and that kind of fierce madness was even more engraved into the subconscious behavioral consciousness.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be scolded for being too extreme, but Liuyun Wuxian once said that it was not bad for sword cultivation to be paranoid, perhaps because of this, Jiang Feng's cultivation performance today made him very excited.
If not, Liuyun Wuxian would not have worked hard without saying a word, and accompanied Jiang Feng to practice swordsmanship until midnight.
Today's practice, 13 sets of sword tricks, 13 broken swords, all broken in Jingxin Pavilion.
Jiang Feng wanted to continue, but Liuyun saw that he was just supporting his spirit, and his mental consumption had already passed the limit, so he forcibly ended his cultivation and ordered him to go back to Fenglin Pavilion to rest first.
The dawn is approaching, after Jiang Feng has taken the elixir for recovery, he has no time to freshen up, he directly falls into bed and sleeps, he must hurry up and rest, time is not waiting, tomorrow is like this cycle.
No matter how tired he was from practicing in the past, Jiang Feng was accustomed to using meditation and meditation to restore physical and mental consumption, and it was rare to use the benefits of pills like this night.
Because in his cognition, the pill is only an aid to cultivation and not a necessity, once his body becomes dependent on the pill for a long time, the subconscious will formed by this cultivation inertia will make him regret it.
Although the shortcut to the south is good, it may not be able to be done once and for all.
The path of immortality and cultivation does not allow for any opportunistic shortcuts.
However, after all, the situation is special, and the way of doing things needs to vary from time to time, and besides, it is just some recovery elixir, which is not against Jiang Feng's cultivation will.
......
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Feng had just stepped out of the Tianjing Fourth Garden, and he received an invitation from the servants of the Wenfu clan, which was sent by Chi Hane, and the time for the banquet was set yesterday, which was in the afternoon.
Jiang Feng said in his heart, although this guy has a bit of an arrogant personality, but he is also rigorous and serious, even if he makes a verbal promise, he will not forget to be polite and thorough.
However, he still completed all the affairs this morning as usual, played ten games with Wen Bin, then cultivated sword qi with Shen Shuang, and finally returned to Jingxin Pavilion to practice swordsmanship.
Thinking that there was an appointment in advance, Jiang Feng wanted to follow yesterday's itinerary and first fight with the Liuyun Traceless Sword, and the rest would be continued after the affairs outside the mansion were settled.
He is now racing against time, and he is not satisfied with only accepting a silent mentoring battle every day, only hoping to achieve the greatest progress and results in a short period of time.
When the matter was temporarily settled, Jiang Feng had done his best to go out in advance, not only for the number of appointments, but also to find out one or two news along the way.
Sure enough, yesterday's revenge reappeared, and almost all of the young heroes of the Xiuzhen family who arrived in Ziwei Emperor City earlier were challenged by him, and none of the immortal forces were disturbed.
I heard that in the end, Yujiang Heng appeared again, and continued the unfinished battle with Qiu Mian, although it was still mainly based on temptation and had reservations about each other, but the two of them were so powerful that they actually attracted Ren Puyu and Hu Yanli, and they were more directly involved.
The four of them fought in a scuffle, which made the Quartet messy, and the square circle was full of devastation, until the four of them fought far away, and the matter was over.
It's a pity that the Ziwei Imperial City is guarded by the Imperial Array, and in one night, all traces of the battle have long been gone, which makes Jiang Feng can't help but regret.
It is said that there are many descendants of the Xiuzhen family who left the Ziwei Imperial City overnight after seeing this battle, no matter how arrogant and complacent they were when they came, they could only withdraw from the Wenwu Daoist Association with shame and no longer have the heart to participate.
After all, there are few unwise people among them, no matter how blindly confident they are, they should know what they can do, even if they try their best, they can't fight with Qiu Mian and others, not to mention that everyone with a clear eye knows that in yesterday's battle, Qiu Mian and the four did not do their best at all.
The opponent still has reservations, but they are no longer able to ask for help, such a gap, why stay for a long time, and even humiliate themselves at the Wenwu Dao meeting?
However, these are not things that Jiang Feng cares about, and after understanding it roughly, he let it go with the wind, and there is no need to linger in his heart.
When he arrived at the Tianlou, Jiang Feng learned from the mouth of the little second brother that Chi Yu had been waiting in the private room for a long time, and the wine and food had been prepared, so he only ordered him to sit down for a while as soon as he arrived.
When Jiang Feng ascended to the seventh floor, he saw a group of maids exiting from the private room opened by Chi Yu, and when he entered, he saw seven delicacies on the table, three hot, three cold and one soup.
"Please!"
Akabane didn't say much, let alone get up, only raised his arm to ask, and even the last maid who stayed on the side in order to pour the wine on his behalf also retreated.
Jiang Feng calmly sat down opposite Chi Yu, looking at the delicacies on the table, his nose twitched slightly from time to time.
"This table is very elegant, and the price is not cheap. ”
Chi Yu snorted lightly: "If you want to eat green vegetables and tofu, I have no opinion, but I, Red Feather Banquet Guest, can't pull this face." ”
Jiang Feng lowered his head and smiled, Chi Yu had skillfully opened the wine jar, and the flame in his palm could be used for a while, and it had already been used to warm the wine, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing in an instant, and he was salivating.
The food is a good dish, and the wine is even more beautiful.
Akabane poured wine into the two wine cups, flicked his fingers, and one of them flew in front of Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng looked at the fragrant wine in front of him, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his fists were clenched with a tangled expression.
Seeing this, Chi Yu also frowned, took the lead in picking up the wine cup and drank it all, pouring the glass and signaling: "There is no poison in the wine! Although you and my Chixiao family have a deep blood feud, my Chi Yu will not be able to do it to such a point." ”
"There is no suspicion in the next......"
Jiang Feng was about to explain, but Chi Yu said again: "Today's banquet is my private invitation, just to thank you for your gift of Phoenix Blood Immortal Gold yesterday, it does not mean that the grievances between you and me will be written off, as long as you don't die, no matter how many years pass, my Chixiao clan will definitely seek you and avenge your blood!"
Jiang Feng was silent, no wonder there were no Chi Yuanming and other Chixiao clansmen at today's banquet, only him and Chi Yu.
Since the end of the grudge, the Chixiao family has always had clear grievances, favors must be repaid, revenge must be avenged, and they have never used ghost tricks to achieve their goals, which is also the reason why Jiang Feng respects the Chixiao family.
Good, the light of good, the light of evil, the fall of evil!
Between Jiang Feng and Chi Yu, although there is a blood feud between the clansmen, they can still sit and drink together, but that's it.
However, the misunderstanding was deeper, and Jiang Feng hurriedly explained: "I don't drink alcohol, it's not that I'm afraid that wine is poisonous, and it's not that I disdain to drink it, but I really can't." Miss Wen has given me a ban on alcohol, and I have promised that I will live in Wenfu now, and I will not lose my trust for any reason. ”
Although Chi Yu was surprised why Miss Wen and Jiang Feng agreed on this ban, seeing that Jiang Feng's words were sincere, it didn't seem to be hypocritical, and he thought about the information he had collected after the mirage battle, and he had some conjectures in his heart about some of the information about Jiang Feng's past experience, and he didn't say much to persuade him, he only took a cup of fragrant tea originally prepared in the room and made a pot for Jiang Feng.
In fact, no matter how self-aware Jiang Feng is, it is not difficult to deduce the truth of the prohibition based on his past experience and slightly integrating the mutilated memories after each drink.
I'm afraid that both the amount of alcohol and the quality of wine are shockingly poor, which leads to the fact that Master, Master, and Wen Bin all agree on their opinions on drinking.
However, Jiang Feng really didn't have the face to explain this to Chi Yu, and he didn't care if the other party could guess anything, he replaced the wine with tea, bowed his hand to Chi Yu, and drank it all, and the two of them started chopsticks.
After the two of them drank three rounds, Jiang Feng, who was completely accustomed to the atmosphere, no longer maintained a restrained and polite appearance, holding a rice bowl in his left hand, and sweeping the dishes on the table with chopsticks in his right hand like a wind.
This scene, on the contrary, made Akabane, who always had a good appearance and only tasted a thin drink, a little stunned, obviously he didn't expect that the opponent he admitted, the dignified and true legend, would be so rude and indecent.
Looking at Chi Yu, who was slightly sluggish at the moment, Jiang Feng, who was like no one beside him, still said calmly: "Although I can't drink alcohol, my life creed has always been - 'Only food and beauty can not be disappointed'." As for the beautiful scenery, I'm a layman who can't afford to be nicknamed, and I don't necessarily appreciate it, so I often ignore it, and forget it......"
Looking at Jiang Feng, who didn't know whether to say frank or heartless in front of him, Chi Yu suddenly smiled softly, his momentum relaxed, he slowly put down the wine cup, and also picked up the rice bowl in the same way as Jiang Feng, and immersed himself in feasting.
Jiang Feng smiled heartily, but unfortunately, due to fate in this life, he and Chi Yu were destined to be rivals who were both enemies and friends, but could not be a pair of pure friends.
When the two of them had satisfied their appetites, and the servants of Butianlou had left, Jiang Feng, who was not full of food and wine, suddenly said to Chi Yu: "What I said in front of Butianlou that day, Chi Yuanming should have told you, those words are not lies, let alone clever words to avoid temporary disasters, as long as you can do it, you can come and kill me at any time, of course, you must also have the consciousness of being killed by me!"
Akabane shook the wine cup in his hand, and his smile was a little more bloodthirsty.
Jiang Feng said again: "Chi Yuanming's qualifications are better than his brother Chi Yuanzhong, his revenge against me will not end here, this is a matter of course, but blindly indulging in hatred is not beneficial to his mental growth, I bear his hatred, if there is a chance in the future, I will secretly guide one or two, so that he will not self-destruct, it can be regarded as a little compensation!"
"Compensation?" Akabane frowned and asked, "Who are you insulting here?"
"Count me out of my words. Jiang Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said sincerely: "The immortal road is vast, he will ascend to the immortal road one day, I hope to see you, but the vicissitudes of the world, even if you Chiyu can immortalize for a hundred catastrophes, and the feather will soar, someone needs to guard the Chixiao family on your behalf." ”
Chi Yu said sarcastically: "When did you Jiang Feng have the ability to judge people with such knowledge, or are you conceited and arrogant?"
Jiang Feng refilled a bowl of tea for himself, and said indifferently: "Maybe it's because I've had a similar experience and situation, and I've thought about it carefully! If you feel unhappy, then I should be conceited!"
Chi Yu stared at Jiang Feng wordlessly for a long time, leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Feng, sometimes I really think, what kind of future do you have like this!"
"If I don't die, in a few hundred years, I will have grown a lot of alcohol, and by then, I may be able to have a drink with you. ”
Jiang Feng said, and suddenly deliberately teased: "Of course, if you die first, in front of the Red Feather Tomb, there will be a sacrifice for the soul." ”
Akabane snorted lightly and fought back: "If you and his day fall into a deviant way, you will not die well, don't forget to give me a letter before exposing the corpse in the wilderness, and I will ensure that you are buried under the mouth of the wild dog." ”
Both of them looked at each other defiantly, their momentum was not weaker, at this moment, Jiang Feng suddenly felt a sense in his heart, turned his head to look out of the window, Chi Yu saw this, his heart instantly understood, the two of them got up at the same time and walked out of the pavilion.
The private room here is different from the snow tea room selected by the Leaf yesterday, even if you stand on the terrace, you can't see the entrance of the Imperial City Gate.
Therefore, the two of them tacitly walked down to the seventh floor, and sat down again at Fang Zhuo, a window with a wide view on the sixth floor, their eyes always locked on the entrance of the city gate, and on the other side of their eyes, several powerful energy fluctuations came in a mighty way.
Jiang Feng stared intently and said, "It's not in vain that I've been waiting for a long time, and it's finally here!"
Akabane's fists clenched slightly, and he also looked at the figure that was about to appear at the city gate, and his expression showed a bit of irrepressible excitement:
"Immortal Bell Clan!"
