Chapter 54: The Journey Again, the Pain of Losing a Master
The days of nearly a week in the valley were simply the most unforgettable days that Xuanyuan Che dreamed of.
There is Ling Huxian, who unloads her burden and plays with him like a child, and Ji Muqing's little bun who is raised by him as a son, and there is a home-like village, but there are more idle people who always interfere with his good things.
In short, Xuanyuan Che can't wait for this kind of beautiful life to continue.
Of course, it's just a hope that life doesn't always go well.
Especially like Ling Huxian, she can't stop things from coming to her if she doesn't look for trouble......
It was not dawn in the early summer, and there was a letter eagle that fell in the yard and kept "chirping" and arguing, Xuanyuan Che originally wanted to get up and take the letter and take the eagle away so as not to disturb Ling Huxian's sleep, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gotten up yet, and the little girl in the bed sat up all of a sudden, rubbed her eyes and muttered: "Something happened,"
Before he could tear down the eagle's letterhead, the guard guarding Taniguchi came to report that someone from Black Eagle Cliff had asked to see Taniguchi.
The two looked at each other.
The Black Hawk Cliff Courier and the Messenger Eagle sent the same message, and the Freedom was in turmoil.
After the Long family withdrew to the degree of freedom, they brutally suppressed the uprising, and then raised 500,000 troops to besiege and kill the remnants of the three major families, first of all, they took the Wan Qi family, forcing Wan Qi to give up the remaining three cities, except for the area where Wan Qi's ancestral house is located, Wan Qi's territory was all returned to the Long family; took the last city of Wan Qi's family, and aimed at Lezheng.
Xinying's news made it clear that the Lezheng family sent people to the dynasty to ask for help, and the emperor and the ministers had different opinions, so they could only leave this matter to her to decide.
The news of Black Eagle Cliff is even more well-informed, and now, Le Zheng has been forced by the Long family army to retreat into the ancestral mansion Misty Mountain, and escaped with the blurred mountain road and natural dangers.
It's just that in this situation, the Le Zheng family already has the voice of surrendering to the Long family, if they don't interfere, once Le Zheng returns to obedience, the degree of freedom of the Long family is simply like a tiger.
Xuanyuan Che's headache was the situation of Wan Qi's family, he didn't know what Ling Huxian was going to do, but at this time, he still needed to return to the degree of freedom to preside over the overall situation.
"I have to return to the dynasty," Ling Huxian sent the envoy of the Black Eagle Cliff and sighed, "The Northern Regions are so brutally ruled that the Northern Underworld clan is indignant, and they want me to send troops to help the Le Zheng family, and also to help them regain the world of the Northern Regions." ”
"So, what do you think?" Xuanyuan Che had a hunch about what this little girl wanted to do.
"Go back to the dynasty first, I have to arrange the affairs of the dynasty, I can't rush to send troops, but I, as a person, can still go to the degree of freedom to toss around."
The Long family made a fuss when they went to the dynasty. She has to get a big gift back, doesn't she? If you don't go to the degree of freedom, you're sorry that Long Yi came all the way to the dynasty to daydream!
In desperation, he could only leave this paradise-like day again, and Xuanyuan Mo, who had been looking forward to the emperor's return, finally looked forward to returning two holy decrees, or chose one of the two and did not have the holy decree, either he would continue to be the regent and help Xuanyuan Che manage Canglan, or, accept Xuanyuan Che's Zen position and give him the throne.
Xuanyuan Mo sighed bitterly, he had helped him guard for so many years, and he was not short of such a few days, so he could only continue to help the ninth brother guard the land of Canglan.
Ling Huxian, who didn't dare to stay longer, hurried all the way, and had just arrived at Tianhua City, the imperial capital, Gyeonggi to take a short rest, and received a bad news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
The little beggar had just disappeared into the crowd, and Ling Hu Xian shuddered and let go of the note in his hand, and Xuanyuan Che hurriedly snatched it up, which read-
Jinjiang Mountain Putuo Zen Room, Lingye River.
Before he could react, the little girl beside him had already pinched the sword and galloped out of the city.
"Xian'er?!"
Before the two fast horses had time to rest, they headed towards Jinjiang Mountain, and the more silent and frightening the road was, the more flustered Hu Xian became.
"Xian'er," "No, nothing can be done......"
The girl didn't listen to anything, just kept shaking her head, and slowly her eyes filled with tears.
Even if Xuanyuan Che didn't know who this Ling Yechuan was, he could see that this person was very important in Ling Huxian's heart, but both of them knew that after such a long time, they were afraid that it would be more than lucky.
"He's going to be fine...... He's so good! ”
The stone path at the foot of the mountain was full of messy footprints, and at a glance it looked like dozens of people had run past it, and the trampled blades of grass were stained with drops of blood that were difficult to spot. Ling Hu Xian quickly dismounted and ran up the mountain, Xuanyuan Che followed, and the deeper he walked down the road, the more intense the bloody qi became, until he saw the door of the meditation room that was open arbitrarily, and the corpse hanging on the broken wooden door.
Ling Huxian stopped,
The silence in the courtyard was as if no one was there, revealing a disheartening dead air.
She didn't dare to go in, she was afraid to see what she didn't want to see the last thing she wanted.
"He's my master...... He is so powerful, how could he die at the hands of a few nobodies? Ling Huxian forced herself to walk over, and with trembling hands, she probed the corpse of the little guy who had been living in seclusion with Ling Yechuan on the door, and cut her throat with a knife, cleanly.
The courtyard was full of messy traces of fighting and pools of blood, she suppressed her panicked mind and looked around, and at a glance found an old man in black lying under the fence of the stable,
The sword that had accompanied him all his life lay beside him stained with viscous blood.
"Division...... The master ...... "She walked over quickly, only to feel a faint snort.
Ling Yechuan vaguely heard the crisp voice of the little girl, tried his best to open his eyes, and saw the little face of the only apprentice in his life in a daze, his brows were furrowed, he felt that he had never stretched out since he was a child, and his eyes were full of tears, and he had just cried.
"Little ...... Little girl......" The old and faint voice made Ling Huxian only close to his mouth to hear clearly. "Master, master, hold on, Xian'er is here, Xian'er will bandage your wound!" Ling Hu Xian hurriedly looked around to check Ling Yechuan's injuries, and when she found that countless swords pierced the six veins, her heart and lungs were powerless to return to the sky, and finally she cried helplessly again, she couldn't save it...... She is the imperial doctor, she can't save her master......
"Master!"
"Little girl...... Head ...... Don't cry...... The master is old, and he ...... Enough to live......"
Ling Yechuan laboriously pulled out the hand that was pressed under him, wanting to touch her face, but was tightly grasped by Ling Huxian and stuck to her face, and hot tears wet her old calloused hands.
"It's all Xian'er's fault, it's all me...... Trouble for me, master......"
"It's pretty again, little girl...... It's getting more and more out of place,"
"Master......"
Ling Yechuan raised her drooping eyelids and saw Xuanyuan Che, who had been silently accompanying her behind her, "Can someone accompany you...... The master was also relieved, and the master ...... I don't blame you, it's just fate, the little girl must ...... To complete ...... My ambition ......"
"The seniors rest assured, the younger generations will definitely protect Xian'er for a lifetime of peace and happiness."
Xuanyuan Che made such a promise, Ling Yechuan also put his mind at ease, and finally smiled hard: "Okay...... They all cried into ...... What has become of it?"
"Master, master, you can't ...... Don't you want to see your granddaughter, Xuandie, she may be dry now, calm and beautiful, just like your son, you ...... She hasn't seen you yet......"
"Master...... Master ......"
Ling Yechuan closed his eyes at some point, let out a long breath, his lips moved, and his voice was shallow and drifting with the wind: "I can't see it, I can't see it......"
"Master......"
There was a pool of blood under him, soaked with the clothes that made the fox fall to the ground, and the old hand finally lost all strength, loose and stiff in the immature hands of the little girl he had watched grow up.
A pair of eyes that have seen all the vicissitudes of the world and the mundane world have never opened again.
"Master, don't go ......"
"Please, master......"
She finally couldn't control herself, she fell on the old man's body and cried bitterly, Ling Yechuan took her for six years, put all the love for her granddaughter on her, but paid a price she shouldn't have borne because of the trouble she provoked.
This is Xuandie's last living relative......
"Master!"
The tightly clenched palms were bloodshot by the nails, and Xuanyuan Che forcibly took her into his arms and broke her hands open.
"I killed my master...... It's that I'm so self-righteous, I think I can protect everyone......"
"It's not your fault, Xian'er......"
He restrained Ling Huxian's hands so as not to hurt himself, "It's my fault, because my guys will point the finger at the master......"
"Xian'er,"
"Ah Che, I'm so uncomfortable, really uncomfortable, master, why don't you let him go even though he is in seclusion, why don't you rush at me, why do you hurt them...... They didn't do anything......"
"Xian'er," he straightened out Fox Xian, forcing her to look at him. "Xian'er, the bones of the old-timers are not cold, now is not the time for you to cry," "Of course I know! I can't wait to catch those people and strip them to their bones! But he is my master, how can I not cry, Xuanyuan Che, if it is your master who dies, won't you be sad?! ”
"Xian'er, the old-timer is your beloved person, and I feel very uncomfortable when I encounter this kind of thing, but Xian'er is not the time to hesitate, you look at this courtyard, there is not a single assassin's corpse, do you think it is possible?"
Xuanyuan Che patiently sorted out the pros and cons for her: "There is a note sent by a beggar as soon as we entered the city and settled in the inn, and the old-timers seem to have just been attacked,"
"Nine times out of ten, those people haven't gone far!" Ling Huxian was obviously overly sad, only thinking about avenging Ling Yechuan, but she didn't think of the relationship that Xuanyuan Che wanted her to know.
"They came prepared, there are eyeliners in the city, I'm afraid it's hard to find them now, think about it now, why didn't we recover the capital not long ago, something happened in the Blood Death Valley, obviously the Long family has returned to the degree of freedom, what is the killing order of the Blood Death Valley?"
"No matter how fast they are, they can't outpace us ......"
"Unless...... They were there. ”
"And now," Xuanyuan Che induced step by step: "As soon as we return to the dynasty, something will happen to Jin Jiangshan." ”
"The only enemy we have right now is the Long family, that is to say...... The people killed by the dragon have long infiltrated all over the Dynasty Continent! ”
