Chapter Twenty-Six: The Interlacing of Fate (Part II)
"Report to the big boss, the subordinates received the news that Meng Yan has been brought into the palace by Yang Gonggong, everything is as expected by the big boss!" After the report of his subordinates, the master of the Wind Thunder Hall sat on the main seat of the main hall of the Wind Thunder Hall and drank a small sip of tea with a frown, and then he looked at the flickering flames on the candle and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "I hope this kid will not waste a piece of my hard work, hurry up, hurry up, and just fall into the Infernal Hell to make those people who despise you fearful!" ”
"Seeing that the big boss is so happy, presumably Xunxi has long expected the big boss to return empty-handed this time." Xun Xi, who was standing on the side, said to the big boss with a slightly guilty tone.
"Heh, Meng Yan's side is personally planned by this seat, naturally there will be no mistakes, if this seat pins all the hopes of winning a game of chess on others, do you think the Wind Thunder Hall can still exist today?" The big boss said to Xunxi in a slightly mocking tone.
"Yes, my subordinates are ashamed!"
"That's it, the power of the unicorn knife is indeed extraordinary, and I don't want to blame you too much. However, this second brother of mine was frightened by the unicorn knife without even daring to fight, and it seems that I have always overestimated him. ”
"Big boss, so it seems that you decided to let the second master go to the capital to participate in the sword competition?"
"Heh, you are still so deeply liked by me, of course, a bunch of second-rate parties can only be regarded as worthy of the name if my second brother participates, and I don't have time to spend with these idlers."
"Then, Ouyang He's ...... over there"
When he heard the words "Ouyang He", the big boss slowly put down the teacup and stood up, walked to the carp pond and stretched out his hand to play with the carp in the pond at will, and then he looked at the water in a daze and said to himself: "Han'er, I almost forgot your beautiful and moving face when I first saw you, so many years, I have been waiting for you to change your mind for so many years, do you know how tormented I am day and night?" ”
"The big boss?" Xun Xi, who was stunned on the side, looked a little dazed, and saw the big boss squatting by the carp pond like a demon talking to herself, so she reluctantly bowed and retired.
When Xunxi walked out of the lobby, he happened to meet the second boss Bailichen and his deputy Han Yi, who had just arrived at the helm, so Xunxi bluntly informed the Bailichen master of the decision to let him participate in the sword tasting conference to compete for the Dragon Soul Sword, and she also said that the big boss promised that once the Dragon Soul Sword was successful, the sword would be handed over to Bailichen for safekeeping. "Oh? My beloved eldest brother has left such a good thing to me, then I might as well obey my fate, it seems that my plans on the side of Yufeng Mountain Villa will be put on hold for the time being. Bai Lichen thought for a while, and then asked Xun Xi what martial arts gangs had decided to participate in this sword tasting conference according to the information of the Wind Thunder Hall, and Xun Xi replied that according to the eyes of the Wind Thunder Hall in the martial arts sects, except for the Jinyun Mountain Yufeng Villa and the Qingshan Firmament Palace, the other martial arts factions were ready to go to the capital on behalf of their respective sects by the head or deputy head of the sect.
"Hmph, that little girl from Yufeng Villa don't worry, since there is news of the Dragon Soul Sword, she will definitely go. As for the Firmament Palace, although their martial arts attainments can be called today's martial arts masters, the Five Saints of the Firmament have never liked to participate in martial arts battles, and I am afraid that they will also give priority to staying out of the matter this time. It seems that this sword tasting conference is the best time for us to make a name for ourselves, you tell the big boss, I will leave for the capital immediately. Bai Lichen showed between the lines that he was determined to obtain the Dragon Soul Sword.
"The little woman will congratulate the second master first, and I and the big boss will wait for good news here!" Xun Xi hypocritically encouraged Bai Lichen.
"The second master, the subordinates feel that this matter is very strange, the big boss will have no interest in an ancient god weapon like the Dragon Soul Sword, I am afraid that there is fraud in it, I hope the second master will be more careful!" After Xun Xi left, Han Yi said softly to Bai Lichen.
"Hmph, if you don't get into the tiger's den, I want to take a good look at how much tricks he can play." Bai Lichen seemed to be a little unimpressed by Han Yi's reminder, and in the face of the big boss's somewhat unreasonable performance, he still had full confidence in his ability.
As Bai Lichen expected, when Ling Rui and Ouyang He returned to Yufeng Villa with Tong Kun and his wife, Yuxin informed Ouyang He that Yufeng Villa had received the news that the Sword Tasting Conference had been invited. Ouyang He felt a little surprised and delighted by the sudden appearance of the Dragon Soul Sword, while Ling Rui was worried that this would be a trap set by the Tang Sect using the name of the Dragon Soul Sword, after all, most of the main figures of the major martial arts sects would come to the capital in person, and there was probably no better opportunity in the world to wipe out all the martial arts factions than this sword tasting conference. Regarding Ling Rui's worries, Ouyang He also admitted that she also had some concerns, afraid that this time she would let the people around her accompany her to risk again because of herself.
On Jinyun Mountain, night gradually fell, Ouyang He was dressed in a white silk dress and walked to a pear blossom forest in front of Zhuanghou Waterfall accompanied by moonlight. She paced back and forth in the forest with some restlessness, then she took a jade flute from her waist and sat down on a stone bench in front of the waterfall and blew it softly, the melodious sound of the flute resounding through the empty valley and intoxicating. Ling Rui, who was dressed in a dark boy's outfit, walked lightly to Ouyang He's side with two jars of fine wine, and quietly sat on another stone bench next to the stone table while Ouyang He was concentrating on playing.
"Ah, Ling Gongzi, I'm really sorry I didn't notice you." After Ling Rui sat down for a while, Ouyang He realized his existence from his concentrated playing.
"It's okay, it's the girl who disturbed the girl's playing uninvited. I just saw that the moonlight tonight was so refreshing, and Miss Ouyang's flute was so beautiful and refreshing. Ling Rui said in high spirits.
"Well, thank you Ling Gongzi for your kindness, it's just that the little woman is not strong enough to drink, I'm afraid I can't accompany Gongzi to have fun, and I hope Gongzi will forgive me." Ouyang He replied a little shyly, "But since the prince is warmly invited today, the little girl is willing to have a few drinks with you." ”
Accompanied by the sound of waterfall water resounding in the sky, Ling Rui and Ouyang He recalled the scene when they left Yufeng Mountain Villa that day, thinking that it was only a few months, but they had already experienced so many things together, and even supported each other to escape from the edge of life and death several times, these thrilling but unforgettable experiences were completely unimaginable before the two of them left the military attache and the villa.
"Before leaving the villa, I just wanted to manage the affairs of the villa, fulfill my father-in-law's last wish to make Yufeng Villa famous all over the world, and then live a peaceful life like an ordinary girl. It wasn't until you and Ling Gongzi, as well as Meng Gongzi and Miss Chu had experienced so many things, that I vaguely felt that since God had given me these experiences as training, I am afraid that there will be some things in the future that I will have to face in person, even if it will cost me everything for this. Ouyang He said to Ling Rui thoughtfully and firmly, "What I have seen and heard along the way, the collusion of officials and bandits, the death of the people, the embarrassment of the scum of the martial arts, and the collusion of external enemies and internal thieves, even if I can only contribute a negligible strength now, I will definitely not turn a deaf ear to these evil deeds of oppressing the good and the common people." ”
"What the girl said is good, since the annihilation of the Tang Dynasty, the troubled times have been in power, the countries have been fighting for many years, and the people have been displaced, which has given the rivers and lakes the soil for evil deeds to breed, so there is an existence like Fengleitang and Tianying Village that is despised by martial arts decency." Ling Rui also seemed a little indignant when he recalled what he saw and heard along the way, "Dad once said to me that as a chivalrous person, I don't seek to be famous and famous, but I want to benefit the people and have a clear conscience." Since my father has not been heard from a few years ago, I still keep my father's teachings in mind, and I am determined to become a fearless young chivalrous man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and carries the responsibility of the family and the country. ”
"Well, I believe in Ling Gongzi, I will also work hard, and I will not let my stepfather and my father and mother disappoint me!" Ouyang He replied with a firm look in his eyes. Subsequently, regarding how to deal with the invitation to the Sword Tasting Conference issued by the Tang Sect, Ouyang He mentioned to Ling Rui that she was still a little worried about Meng Yan's safety, and at the same time, she was also asking herself if it was too selfish for her to choose to seize the Dragon Soul Sword and ignore Meng Yan, who was also a friend of life and death, in order to draw out the Yang Yan Qi that caused discomfort in her body. Ling Rui smiled warmly and comforted that she was also doing this to prevent such a powerful ancient divine weapon from falling into the hands of a Jianghu evil sect like the Wind Thunder Hall, and she was also protecting the entire martial arts, and then he also promised again that he would do his best to keep Meng Yan safe and make Ouyang He believe in him.
"Xiaohe, promise me, you must come back safely, if I can't wait for you in Chengdu, even if there are thousands of difficulties, I will definitely go to Xudu to find you." Ling Rui looked at the bright moon in the sky as bright as a silver plate, and said to Ouyang He in a trembling voice.
"Well, good!" Ouyang He stared at Ling Rui's handsome side face in the moonlight, blushing, and agreed in a gentle tone, although the answer was only two words, it was enough to make Ling Rui feel at ease.
Early the next morning, Ouyang He tied his beautiful long hair into a capable and hearty ponytail like a young man, changed into a white tunic knight suit, wore long boots on his feet, and carried a sword box with the weapon Ning Kun Sword created by Yufeng Villa, and Ling Rui walked from the inner courtyard of the villa to the gate of the villa in the company of everyone reluctantly, and at this moment, at the gate, Yuxin was holding the two mounts of the two, waiting for their arrival with moist eyes.
"Miss, please, take Xin'er with you, Xin'er doesn't want to leave Miss anymore, Xin'er has to protect Miss for the rest of her life......" Yuxin couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart and cried and hugged Ouyang He tightly, after all, her relatives who had been separated for a long time and she had only been together for one day before she had to leave again, as a best friend who grew up with Ouyang He since she was a child and grew up together like sisters, Yuxin really couldn't rest assured that Ouyang He went to the capital alone.
"Okay, Xin'er, don't cry, now that my meridians have been opened, with my current martial arts, there are really few people in the world who can do anything to me, Xin'er don't worry, don't cry......" Ouyang He stroked Yuxin's head and continued to comfort her softly in her ear, "Xin'er is obedient, help me take good care of Tong Shaoxia and Miss Liu, and wait for me to bring you spicy chicken from Yudu to eat, okay?" Under Ouyang He's gentle persuasion, Yuxin gradually controlled her emotions, and then carefully helped Ouyang He onto the horse with moist eyes.
"Master Ouyang Zhuang, Ling Shaoxia, our husband and wife will remember your kindness, and I wish the two of you to take care of yourself along the way!" Tong Kun also took Liu Yangyang to say goodbye to the two.
At the beginning of the day, the wisps of early morning sunlight once again illuminated the vibrant mountains of Yuzhou, and the Qionglou Yuyu of Yufeng Mountain Villa glowed with a new and different brilliance under the background of the morning sun. And at this moment, in front of the exquisite gate of the villa, there were still two familiar people and two horses, but this time they did not hesitate to run in two different directions. Perhaps no one could have predicted what their respective fates would be at this time, but from the determined eyes on Ling Rui and Ouyang He's faces as they left, it could be seen that in the hearts of the two of them, the word "trust" was far more important than other burdensome worries. Believe in yourself and believe in each other, so that you can be fearless and invincible.
Based on the desire to obtain the Dragon Soul Sword of the Ancient Divine Weapon, dozens of important figures from the major good and evil sects of the martial arts also embarked on the journey to the capital of Shu one after another. The chaotic situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms has not stopped the martial arts heroes competing for the supreme weapons in the world, and the deceit of the gang gate lords has intensified in the troubled times when the strong are kings. A horse, dressed in white, with a pair of bright pupils, the beautiful woman who inherited the bloodline of the Yellow Emperor across the millennium is running towards the node of the reincarnation of fate in this life.
