Chapter 44: Old Friends

Late at night, a figure in a black hood walked to a door, pushed open the heavy door, the old wooden door was pushed open with the door, making a creaking sound, the piercing sound made people shudder, the man walked into the door, the shrine in the house was lit up with several permanent lights, and on each step there were more than a dozen rows, each row had a different name, and the same surname.

The woman sat on the futon in front of the spirit card, looked at the Sima Chen spirit card engraved in front of her, and sneered: "I'm afraid you don't want to see me, so what can you do?" You are sleeping underground now, and you can't get rid of me. ”

"You Central Plains people are really ridiculous, don't you love your son the most? Why don't you teach him martial arts to defend himself? Is he reluctant or afraid that he will one day stain other people's blood with your hands? I thought your worst plan was to bury your martial arts in the soil, and you didn't think that you would also accept apprentices? I fought with him, he has a lot of internal strength, and his swordsmanship is sharp, he has a bit of your demeanor back then, and even I was almost planted in his hands. ”

"At this time, I'm afraid that you can't even beat a yellow-haired boy if you laugh at me below, but what do you have to be proud of, he is just a painter, he can't follow your ambition, even if you teach him kung fu, it's just superfluous for him."

The woman's eyes were full of resentment and said, "This is your retribution, and there is no successor." After all, you and I are husband and wife, so I will reluctantly help you again, and let all the people in the Hou Mansion go to you as companions? Don't you like that woman the most, so I chose your favorite person first, but unfortunately it didn't work out, otherwise you will have someone to accompany you at this time, don't worry, I won't need much, I will call all those people down to accompany you. ”

The woman chuckled, the piercing voice echoed in the empty ancestral hall, the man suddenly noticed that there was something pressed under the spirit card of the old marquis, the woman was slightly stunned, and a trace of fear appeared in the eyes hidden in the cloak, but it soon disappeared without a trace, reached out and took the letter out from under the plaque, the man opened the letter and glanced at it quickly, and sneered: "You really taught a good apprentice, I only fought with him once, he can guess my identity, you are proud, you are less proud, You're less complacent, do you really think he can kill me? He can't kill me, he can't kill me, I'll let them die one by one at my hands. One by one, they all died in my hands, are you hating, why don't you kill me and die again, but unfortunately it's too late for you to regret it now, and I won't look back. Since this boy is your heir, then I will first put an end to the trouble, and then deal with the pair of orphans and widows you left behind. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Sima Ming first went to the ancestral hall, and the envelope that was placed under the tablet by Cang Xuan the day before was really gone.

Sima Ming hurried to the southeast, and when Cang Xuan saw her coming, he stood up and straightened the broken hair that fell on his sideburns because he was in too much hurry: "Why are you anxious about what to do?" ”

"The letter in the ancestral hall is gone." Sima Ming took a breath, took the water handed over by Ayu, took a sip and asked, "How did you know that she would definitely go to the ancestral hall?" ”

Cang Xuan took the empty cup that Sima Ming had drunk and handed it to Ayu, and replied, "Because she is an old friend of your father." ”

"Old friends?" Sima Ming was slightly stunned, she had never heard of his father and an old friend of a barbarian woman, Sima Ming pondered, could it be that they met on the battlefield, could it be as Cen Wei said, this person is here for revenge.

Cang Xuan saw that she was thinking about the problems of her old friends and her face was full of distress, Cang Xuan soothed: "It's okay." ”

Sima Ming suddenly flashed in her mind, remembering the scene when her mother fainted, he hurried to comfort her, she seemed to remember that day, in a hurry, Cang Xuan called her name, neither Brother Sima, nor Hou Ye, but her mother and cousin often called her name.

Sima Ming looked at him stunned, and Cang Xuan smiled: "What's the matter, did you do something wrong?" Let Hou Ye stare like this? ”

"I... I...."Sima Ming gritted her teeth and held back the words she was about to say, damn it, she almost said what she thought.

Sima Ming looked at a loss, probably because he was afraid that Cang Xuan would be suspicious, and then said: "I haven't said thank you to Master Cang Xuan once before." ”

"What did I think was Brother Sima, it turned out that it was because of this, it was better to wait for the matter, Master Hou invited me to pick up the star tower for a meal?" Cang Xuan said with a smile.

Sima Ming chuckled: "The chef of the Star Picking Tower is not as good as the chef of your southeast." ”

"It turns out that Master Hou wants to repay the debt?" Cangxuan Road.

"What I said is the truth, how can I say that I am in debt, otherwise I will lend you money to thank you." After Sima Ming finished speaking, he felt that this attention was really good, saving time and effort.

Cang Xuan chuckled: "Master Hou borrowed the cook last time, this time he borrowed the southeast, what are you going to borrow next time?" ”

You.

When Cang Xuan asked, an idea suddenly popped up in Sima Ming's heart, although this word had already reached his mouth, Sima Ming still rationally pressed that word into his heart, and said jokingly: "Then it depends on what Brother Cang Xuan can let me borrow." ”

Cang Xuan sneered.

"When is your appointment written on that letter?" Sima Ming asked, although people had been arranged, Sima Ming still didn't feel at ease and wanted to follow.

"Tomorrow's City God's Temple." After Cang Xuan finished speaking succinctly, he looked at Sima Ming'an, who was a little impetuous, and said, "Mrs. Gu has just woken up, you can accompany her more, you don't have to go with her, I am sure." ”

"I..."

"Obedient."

Cangxuan's voice echoed in Sima Ming's ears as if it had a playback function, and his heart began to beat endlessly, as if he was going to pop out in the next second, "Hmm." ”

Cang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she agreed, he hoped that Sima Ming would never have to know so much about the old marquis, not all things are perfect if he knows everything, that will only increase the pain, he can suffer this pain alone, and there is no need for one more person.

Cang Xuan may have covered up a secret out of guilt, but wanted to fill in with one of his own secrets: "Master Hou may not know, I met your father when I was a child, although the process of apprenticeship was a bit tortuous and bizarre, but I still endured humiliation and worshiped under his door and became his only personal disciple." ”

As soon as Cang Xuan said this, Sima Ming suddenly remembered the words of the man who fought with Cang Xuan, "What did he not pass on to his own blood, but actually passed it on to him, a yellow-haired boy."
