27. Split up
Lian Yun sat in the empty hall, countless windows were open like this, and the snow in Frostless City all year round was blown in by the wind and fell to the ground.
He looked away from the snowflakes, and then continued to sit in silence, like a stone, sitting there without sound and emotion.
"City Lord." A maid walked in outside, and the cold voice seemed even more hollow in the cold hall.
Lian Yun stood up, he was wearing layers of clothes, but although there were many, they didn't make him look bloated, and his long body was still agile. After walking down the long staircase, a strong wind suddenly blew into the four doors of the main hall, and Hula pulled Lian Yun's long black hair back, and as soon as he looked up, a cold snowflake fell into his eyes.
"Lianyun." Said the man who came from the snowstorm.
The people standing in the main hall widened their eyes slightly: "Ji Kai." ”
Ji Kai looked at him with a smile, walked to Lian Yun's side in a few steps, looked at his clothes with some curiosity, and then asked with a smile: "Is this what you look like in Frost-Free City?" ”
Lian Yun nodded, and turned his face away with some evasion, he was not used to looking at him like this, as if he had seen through something.
"You're hard to find here." Ji Kai said.
"Where it's cold, go in whichever direction, you won't find it." Lian Yun said seriously.
His words made Ji Kai stunned for a moment, and then his expression was a little strange: "You really don't know what to let me say when you say this." He sighed.
Lian Yun stared at Ji Kai's face carefully, he hadn't seen a too obvious look on someone's face for a long time, so he couldn't understand it for a while, he looked at it like this for a while, and then he realized that Ji Kai was pitying himself just now.
This made him feel as if he had been stabbed, and there was a kind of anger similar to it, Lian Yun's face was cold, and he lowered his eyes, and he said, "Yes." ”
Ji Kai nodded, and said with a serious face: "How did you grow up in such a cold place?" ”
Lian Yun thought for a moment: "How can you grow up, that's how you grew up." When I came back to my senses, I was already the lord of Frostless City, and I was no longer a child at that time. ”
He looked at Ji Kai, thought for a moment, and pointed to a place.
There are many pavilions and pavilions in Frostless City, but there is a clearing in the northwest corner, Lian Yun pointed to a small black spot in the clearing and said, "I came out of there when I was six years old. ”
Ji Kai wondered: "Where do you live?" ”
"No," Lian Yun shook his head, his expression was calm as if he was recalling something from a long time ago, "That's the only ice cellar in Frost-Free City, used to screen out potential disciples of the City Lord. ”
Ji Kai looked at it, a cold place, to choose the next city lord from a colder place, there seemed to be a cruel coldness everywhere here.
"Have you been there for a long time?" He asked softly.
Lian Yun thought for a moment: "It should not be soon," and then he didn't know what to think of, and smiled lightly.
This smile made Ji Kai stunned.
Lian Yun immediately restrained it, and continued: "It should not be long, but at that time, I felt like a year. Later, Zhonghua arrived and took us out. ”
He pointed to another place: "I stayed there for one night. ”
"Somewhere else after that?" Ji Kai asked.
Lian Yun glanced at him appreciatively, but he didn't expect to know that he would change places to live after this sentence alone, instead of just listening to this sentence as a transition in time.
"Well, after that, I became my master's only apprentice, and Zhonghua took me to the place where he lived."
It was a small courtyard full of red plums, which always bloomed for a long time because the frost-free city was covered with snow all year round. When Lian Yun was a child, sometimes he couldn't sleep all night because of the pain in practice, so he got up and stood up in the yard, he looked at these flowers with some lively colors, and didn't know what to think, but the pain in his body at that time would indeed be reduced a lot.
"Does it hurt so much when you practice?" Ji Kai asked.
Lian Yun: "Well, it hurts so much." The martial arts of the city lords of the Chaoshi frostless world are the first in the world, this is because their internal strength is accumulated from generation to generation, and then directly passed on to the selected disciples. ”
Frost-free City is surprisingly large, but it is so cold that there are no people, Lian Yun took Ji Kai to the top of the Changqing Building, where he could see a long distance, he pointed to the snow-capped mountain behind the Frost-Free City: "That's the Sealed Snow Cave, and I have been in retreat for most of the year." ”
"Don't you have anything else to do?" Ji Kai asked.
Lian Yun lowered his head and thought for a moment: "The previous city lord could read some books or play the piano if he had nothing to do," he raised his head and smiled at Ji Kai, smiling very shyly, "But I can't, I can't even speak." ”
The other party fell silent when he heard this.
"So you go to retreat when you're fine?"
Nodding: "Well, I don't like it here." But I often come here," Lian Yun turned, and he looked out of Frost-Free City, "If it's spring or summer outside, you can see a little other color." ”
Lian Yun opened his eyes, he first felt a feeling of nausea, and then his head was heavy and almost fainted again, and after stopping his movements for a while, he slowly got up from the ground and looked around.
A hand was on his waist, Lian Yun looked back, Lu Shengyuan's face opened his mouth to say something with a little worry, he shook his head and pointed to his ear.
The other party frowned when he saw it.
He should have fainted from the explosion before, but Lian Yun didn't expect that he seemed to have a dream, he was helped by Lu Shengyuan to stand up, while recalling what he dreamed, but about those were just the simple activity of the cerebral cortex, Lian Yun did not have a trace of impression.
Lu Shengyuan helped him to the bottom of the tree, let Lian Yun stand firm on the tree, he walked to the side and took something over, Lian Yun saw that it was a leaf with a little water, he drank a little according to Lu Shengyuan's movements, and after the tinnitus had improved, he asked, "Where are Zhonghua and Shishi?" ”
The scale of this explosion is not large, but it is not small, and every ox cart is loaded with gunpowder, and as long as one is detonated, it immediately causes a chain reaction. Lian Yun rushed back when he heard the first explosion, and before he could throw Zhong Hua and Shi Zhichuan out, he was immediately stunned by the explosion of the nearest carriage, and he glanced at a few drops of dried blood on the corner of Lu Shengyuan's clothes, and expected that there were assassins coming out behind.
"They're all fine." Lu Shengyuan said.
Lian Yun was relieved when he heard this, raised his eyes and met Lu Shengyuan's smiling eyes, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: "Something?" He asked slowly.
Lu Shengyuan just smiled and didn't speak.
But he made Lian Yun feel unhappy like this, the other party still hid something about himself from him, which made Lian Yun feel weak and embarrassed, but he stared at Lu Shengyuan but asked directly, are you grabbing someone's collar and forcing you to ask what are you laughing at?
What if people are just in a good mood?
Zhonghua said that he would go and check the details of those people, and now they will be separated for the time being. Xiao Chuan followed the clouds, Zhong Hua wants to go back to Frost Free City first, he entrusted you to me," Lu Shengyuan said, and then he looked into Lian Yun's eyes, "Do you want to go back to the Foggy Mountains with me?" ”
Lian Yun: "What? The other party said so fast that he didn't hear it clearly
As if he had expected this answer, Lu Shengyuan repeated unmindably: "Foggy Mountain." ”
Zhonghua let himself go to the Foggy Mountains?
Although the decision is still in his own hands, Lian Yun can't figure out why Zhonghua would go to the Foggy Mountains by himself, wouldn't the Foggy Mountains be blasted?
Lian Yun expressed skepticism, and then he agreed.
[Di - smart choice team, the system is pleased with this.] 】
【】
So things are weird and seem to have returned to the beginning - Shanlin, Lu Shengyuan and Lian Yun.
"I think of when I first met Lian Yun, there were only two of us at that time." Lu Shengyuan said as he handed out the mist bath.
Lian Yun lowered his eyes and looked at the sealing knot of the Misty Bath Sword and took it.
"Little Flower Girl."
Lian Yun looked up at Lu Shengyuan, he remembered these four syllables, when he was in the wolf field with Lu Shengyuan, this person always called himself like this: "En? He asked.
Lu Shengyuan bent his eyebrows and shook his head.
"Let's go." Lian Yun glanced at him a little strangely, pursed his lips and said
"Are you alright?" The voice asked gently.
"Alright." A slightly stiff answer.
Lian Yun glanced at the person who fell at his feet, turned around slowly, Lu Shengyuan stood at the three-way junction in front of him and waited for him, the other party was holding a bag of silver that he had just robbed, and he was leaning against the tree with an idle appearance.
There were more than a dozen people fainted on the ground, all of them were knocked unconscious by Lian Yun with a mist bath, he thought that his speed was extremely fast even if he didn't really kill people, but obviously Lu Shengyuan, who touched the silver, was faster, and when Lian Yun walked from the front to the back of this group of mountain bandits who robbed them, Lu Shengyuan over there was already waiting with the silver.
Glancing at people inquiringly, Lian Yun felt that the other party was unexpectedly easy to do such a thing, as if it was not the first time.
In this regard, Lu Shengyuan showed eight teeth, glittering in the sun.
When he got the silver to the town, Lu Shengyuan took Lian Yun into a gazebo, and in this pavilion sat an old man smoking a hookah, wearing a dress embroidered with big flowers.
"Guests are free." The old man said.
Lu Shengyuan took Lian Yun to sit down and said, "I don't know if anyone still comes out to do business on a west wind day?" (It's black talk)"
The old man paused with the cigarette pipe in his hand, and glanced at Lu Shengyuan: "It's been a cold market recently, and everyone doesn't come out." There are a few foreign businessmen, and there is quite a big trouble. ”
Lu Shengyuan: "I don't know what kind of business it is?" ”
Old man: "It's all a fruit and vegetable business, and it's all newcomers." But I recently offended a master, and I'm afraid I won't be able to open for a while. ”
Lu Shengyuan nodded, and put all the bags of silver he had robbed before on the table: "The last one." He said.
The old man glanced at the bag and nodded.
"Tell me," he gestured, "about them." ”
"This" The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Shengyuan carefully, and suddenly his eyes looked at Lian Yun, who had not spoken, and suddenly lost the appearance of the old god before.
"You," he looked at Lu Shengyuan but glanced at Lian Yun, the hand holding the cigarette pipe trembled almost undetectably, and after a long time, he spit out a smoke ring violently, and pushed the bag of silver on Lu Shengyuan's table, which seemed to exhaust the old man's strength, and he said with restraint: "It is said that the head of Wushan retreated again some time ago, and the entire mountain is now closed, and outsiders are not allowed to enter lightly." However, the owner of Luojian Villa is about to have a big birthday in the near future, and he has sent invitations in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that after this birthday banquet, he will give the last one - after Shang Ling, he will wash his hands and no longer cast swords. ”
After leaving the pavilion, Lu Shengyuan said to Lian Yun: "This is the station of Furong Mansion in various places in the rivers and lakes, and the news in the rivers and lakes can be bought and sold here, but the old gentleman just now probably saw your identity, and he didn't even dare to accept the silver," he said and chuckled, "I didn't expect the name of Frostless City to be used like this." ”
Lian Yun blinked.
"Ahem," Lu Shengyuan said embarrassedly, "I forgot that you probably don't understand well. ”
So Lian Yun blinked again.
