Jiang Feng listened to the blind old man reminiscing about the golden iron horse in the past, and his heart was full of melancholy, and all kinds of thoughts turned into a little sadness on the tip of his nose after taking a deep breath.

More than half of the mulberry wine in the pot had been gone, and Lao Cheng, who was slightly drunk, set out to pick up a piece of thin and moderately thick sauce beef and put it in his mouth, and Jiang Feng only drank half of the hot tea in his bowl.

The blind old man swallowed the sauced beef in his mouth, and sighed: "I have another regret in my life, that is, I couldn't see what Miss looked like when she became an adult, and I didn't have the honor to say a word to her. ”

Jiang Feng was curious, Wen Bin was about thirty-one years old this year, so Lao Cheng should not have been blinded when she was born, but he didn't understand why Lao Cheng, the flag-carrying veteran of the Xuanshan Forbidden Army, regarded this matter as a regret.

Lao Cheng slowly explained: "In the past, the young lady was born, the old mansion lord was still there, at that time my eyes were not blind, the old mansion lord had embraced the infant lady to show the army, I was standing far away, and the front and three layers were surrounded by clan elders, generals, pioneers and others, I only saw a large and a small two figures from a distance, and even the appearance of the young lady could not be seen clearly.

"Although I felt a pity at the time, I didn't feel how sorry I was, I just thought that the old mansion lord had no children under his knees, and the position of the lord of the Wenfu Mansion would be passed on to a female baby in the future, and I was inevitably worried in my heart, not the old man, I was prejudiced, and many brothers in the army had similar worries at that time. But later, the young lady took over the position of the lord of the mansion at the age of ten, and at the age of thirteen, she wiped out the Martial God Temple in one fell swoop with an immortal attitude, and achieved eternal achievements, which not only avenged us old guys, but also drew a perfect end to the thousand-year-old grievances between civil and military.

After that, no one doubted Miss's ability, and everyone in the Wenfu unanimously believed that she would lead the Wenfu to a glory beyond the peak. On that day, the entire Wenfu courtyard was full of singing and dancing, and the noise did not disperse for several days, and many old brothers were drunk for several days, and finally died in a drunken dream with a smile. Unfortunately, I was already blind at the time......"

The old man took a sip of wine, and his expression suddenly became a little more envious.

"I have an old brother, a former general of the vanguard battalion of the Scales Forbidden Army, who personally participated in the great battle eighteen years ago, was cut off a leg, seriously wounded, and retired to the Wenfu Courtyard. On that day, the young lady stepped on the Martial God Temple and stood in the ruins of the Martial Emperor Tower, he dragged the remnants of the body to guard the side, only a hundred steps away from the young lady. That old immortal didn't survive two years ago and left, but he was still talking about it until he took his last breath, and looking at his smug appearance, he was obviously deliberately pretending not to know how envious our old guys were!"

Lao Cheng sighed: "Old man, I have no regrets about today's appearance, I only hate that these eyes were blind too early, and I couldn't see the peerless demeanor of Miss back then, I only hate why I was not bold back then, and I had to force myself forward even if I was punished by military regulations, even if I just glanced at the young lady who was still in infancy!"

Jiang Feng silently swallowed a piece of sauced beef, Lao Cheng was injured by his divine powers, blinded, and even his divine sense could no longer be used, this method Han Feng was also extremely good at, he was no stranger, but judging from the expression of the blind old man, he really regretted this matter.

Jiang Feng asked him, "Then why doesn't the old man go to see Miss?

Lao Cheng shook his head and said, "What qualifications do people like me have to meet Miss? Miss assumes the position of the head of the Wenfu Mansion as a daughter, and she has enough opportunities to bear it, so where can I find face to bother her again, just for a meeting that is impossible to meet." ”

Lao Cheng asked Jiang Feng if he had seen Miss, Jiang Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes, Miss still likes to wear men's clothes as before, her appearance is handsome and extraordinary, and her temperament is outstanding, just like heaven and earth." ”

Lao Cheng said: "That's right! My fantasy of Miss should be like this, unlike Wen Yatou, every time I ask her, she says that Miss's appearance is mediocre, there is nothing to see, so angry that I want to beat her out of the door with a cane several times." ”

Jiang Feng asked curiously, "Wen girl, which 'wen' is it?"

Lao Cheng sighed in hindsight and explained: "I forgot I didn't mention it to you, it's Wen who starts with the word rain." Wen girl is the lady's personal maid, because the errand is done well, the person is also exquisite, so she is deeply loved by the lady, and she is given the surname "Wen" to show her closeness. All these years, it was all thanks to her hard work at the beginning of each month that I was able to get by, old man. ”

"Money, does everyone have it?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Well, although the share is not much, everyone in the Wenfu Courtyard has it, but everyone's person in charge is different, and I am responsible for the delivery of money every month. Most of us old guys have cultivated to a half-wasted level, and the Bigu Kung Fu has long been inferior to back then, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid we would have starved to death. ”

Jiang Feng was puzzled: "But I heard before that the clan cultivators who moved into the Wenfu Courtyard were all left to their own lives and deaths, how could it be?"

Lao Cheng added: "It was like this before, this is a new rule added by Miss later, and it has been implemented for some years, saying that it is to treat us retired and helpless veterans well." Having said that, there are not a few people in the Wenfu Annex, and no matter how small the share of each person is, it is a lot of money to sum up, not to mention the lot of manpower invested in it.

"So, we didn't have much complaints before, but now we don't dare to live up to Miss's kindness, and we can save money on weekdays, and the old brothers get together just warm pot of turbid wine, just chat. We don't have much use for us, so we can only try to repay Miss in these details. ”

Jiang Fengfuer asked, "I see! It's just that why do you want Miss's personal maid to deliver it personally, isn't it more suitable for a low-level guard like me?"

Lao Cheng said: "That's right, I guess it should be because I moved out of the Wenfu Courtyard to live alone, for which I often apologize for causing a lot of trouble to Wen Yatou, but Wen Yatou is a cool person, and her conversation is not as elegant as your unserious bastard, before you came, she came to talk to my bad old man every month, since she didn't care about this, I am embarrassed to mention it more." ”

Jiang Feng knew clearly, and secretly said in his heart who this Wen girl is, Miss's personal maid, is it Qing'er? In this way, he still doesn't know Qing'er's surname, Qing'er is cheerful and kind, and close to people, and only she dares to comment on Wen Bin's appearance like this, if so, it makes sense.

However, Jiang Feng did not change much of his opinion of Wen Bin because of this incident, after all, as far as he knew from his guest residence in the Wen Mansion, Wen Bin had never had any favor to the Wen Mansion Courtyard, let alone send money every month.

In this way, there is only one possibility, that is, all this is just the Wen girl in Lao Cheng's mouth, that is, Qing'er's independent actions that are good at advocating, but in the name of Wen Bin's new strategy, everyone in the Wenfu Palace can feel at ease.

This can also explain why, with the background and financial resources of the Wenfu, the monthly distribution of silver can still barely maintain everyone's livelihood.

In other words, Wen Bin's attitude towards the Wenfu Courtyard was as indifferent and indifferent as the previous mansion masters.

But Jiang Feng didn't say what he guessed in his heart, he didn't want to destroy Wen Bin's perfect image in the hearts of these crippled old soldiers, they were already in despair, what right did he have to erase the hope in their hearts.

No matter how much Jiang Feng dislikes Wen Bin's style, but after all, this is the private affairs of the Wen Mansion, he has no position and qualifications to meddle in affairs, such as now, visiting an old man like Lao Cheng every day is already the limit, and in terms of ability alone, he can not even do as much as Qing'er.

"Before I knew it......

Lao Cheng's words pulled Jiang Feng out of his thoughts, and he noticed the sound of beating outside the house, it was late at night, and the outside of the thatched hut was even more lonely except for the sound of beating that was gradually fading away.

Lao Cheng said with concern: "Jiang boy, do you want to go back to the house tonight?"

Jiang Feng grinned and said: "Recently, the Ziwei Emperor City has not been peaceful after nightfall, I still have self-knowledge of how many catties and taels I have, and if it is not my turn to be on duty tonight, I will borrow your old feng shui treasure land for a night." ”

Lao Cheng didn't say much, only poked Jiang Feng's ass with a cane and threw him off the kang.

"If you want to sleep, go outside the house and pick up some straw to sleep in the corner, the old man is not in good health, don't want to grab the kang head with me. ”

Jiang Feng laughed, picked up the oil lamp on the table with a hippie smile, turned around and went out to hug the straw.

Lao Cheng is blind, he has long been accustomed to the dark, and he never lit the lamp day or night in the past, but recently, after Jiang Feng often came to visit the house at night, Lao Cheng went to the market and used the money squeezed out of his teeth to buy lamps and lamp oil that had not been used for decades, just so that when Jiang Feng came at night, he could have a direction to show the way, so that he would not lose his fingers when he entered the house and sat on the kang.

In Jiang Feng's short life of seventeen years so far, he has only met two blind people who are willing to light lamps for him, the first is Baishi, and the second is the blind Lao Cheng in front of him.

On the small wooden table, he drank it and refilled the bowl of coarse tea that he bought together at that time, these two things, one is eye-catching, and the other is heartwarming.

......

The next day, after Jiang Feng broke dawn, he had already returned to Wenfu and hurried to Tianjing Siyuan.

After he left the house, he didn't return all night, and he didn't explain anything special, although it was for his own personal safety, but he wanted to make Qiu Qiu anxious.

Quietly pushing open the main entrance of Fenglin Pavilion, Jiang Feng saw Qiu Qiu, who had been waiting all night without success, and had fallen asleep on the table from exhaustion at this time.

Jiang Feng's eyes flashed with apologies, and he was about to carry the little girl back to the room, but the little girl, who had always slept very lightly, immediately woke up, and saw that it was Brother Jiang who turned back to Fenglin Pavilion, so she was relieved.

But the little girl immediately straightened her face again, stood up and looked at Jiang Feng seriously, and asked, "Brother Jiang, you didn't return all night last night, where did you go?" I went to ask Sister Qing'er, she didn't know where you went, do you know that we are worried about you......

Qiu Qiu's babbling thoughts took a quarter of an hour before stopping, Jiang Feng humbly accepted the teaching, sincerely apologized, and explained where he went last night, and briefly explained the reason why he couldn't return to Wenfu immediately, which finally made the little girl accept it satisfactorily.

Yesterday, when Jiang Feng returned home from the Tianlou halfway, he had warned Qiu Qiu not to go out alone after nightfall recently, although Jiang Feng still concealed the fact of the existence of the evil sword in order not to make the little girl panic and fear, but Qiu Qiu also knew that the situation in Ziwei Imperial City was now turbulent and the wind and rain were coming, so after Jiang Feng explained a little, she also expressed her understanding intimately and did not ask any more questions.

Suddenly, Qiu Qiu remembered something, hurriedly ran back to his room, and after a while, he ran back quickly, holding a square flat wooden box in his hand, and handed it to Jiang Feng.

"Yesterday, Brother Jiang, you left the house in a hurry not long after you came back, so I didn't have time to hand this over to you. Hey, it's not too late for me to hand it over to you myself. ”

"What is this?" Jiang Feng asked as he took it.

Qiu Qiu explained: "This is what Sister Qing'er asked me to hand over to you yesterday, saying that the young lady specially explained that it was left to you. ”

Jiang Feng suddenly teased: "Your sister Qing'er said yesterday that she wanted to borrow you for a while, just for this?"

"Of course it's not just this......" Qiu Qiu shook his head and said seriously, "Let's not talk about this now, Brother Jiang, you better open it first and confirm it!"

Jiang Feng opened the wooden box in response, and there was a well-made, lifelike human skin mask placed in it.

When he was in Chaoxian City, the lewd thief Demon Cultivator of the Sound Demon Pavilion once killed a city lord's palace guard named Jia Yi in order to hide his identity and then skinned it to make a delicate human skin mask, and even the city lord and others at that time were deceived.

The human skin mask in front of him naturally could not be made of real human skin, Jiang Feng was surprised to observe carefully, and realized that this thing was actually made of snow silk with eighteen kinds of spirit silk, and the difficulty and sophistication of the production could already be called a magic workmanship.

Not only that, but there are at least a thousand kinds of prohibitions embedded in this snow silkworm mask, which are intertwined, seemingly disorderly, but orderly and can be found, such as a spirit array, like an enchantment, and it is very mysterious.

Jiang Feng's mind flickered, and the Phantom Dragon Forbidden immediately entered the pupil, and it was not long before the forbidden mystery was broken, this snow silkworm mask wanted to be worn on the face, and it had to have the corresponding spiritual cooperation.

Imagine what a seamless disguise it would be if someone put it on.

Jiang Feng was silent for a long time, and asked in a deep voice, "What is its name?"

The voice fell, and before Qiu Qiu could answer, a voice came immediately, Qing'er walked into the Fenglin Pavilion, looked at Jiang Feng, and replied, "Its name - Qiu Mian!"
