Chapter 143: The Phoenix Sings

Meng Yang is a sheep in wolf's clothing, which Su Yu has such an understanding after a little contact.

When mentioning his parents, Meng Yang only said that a few days ago, his father took a few men in the fort to pull a cart with camels to a more prosperous city hundreds of miles away, and exchanged the accumulated silver taels or leather for some daily necessities and medicines for the people in the yellow sand castle.

In fact, the merchants and vendors who came and went would also sell some things that the people in the Central Plains City were accustomed to in the fort, or pots and pans, or the rouge gouache that the girls loved, but the quantity was too small, and the price would be more expensive after this hand, so every month or two, Meng Yang's father would take a few men in the fort who were good at hurrying to go on such a journey.

And after Meng Yang's father, who was the owner of the castle, left, the safety of the entire Huangsha Castle fell on the shoulders of Meng Yang, who had grown up, and his uncle, who was said to be not weak in kung fu.

When he went to see Meng Yang's uncle, Meng Yang led Su Yu through a few alleys, turning around in the small yellow sand castle, and only then did he find his uncle who was striking iron for pedestrians and passengers under a simple shed made of straw mats.

Judging from his appearance alone, Su Yu expected that Meng Yang's uncle must not be his blood uncle, because although Meng Yang was in a frontier place like Huangsha Castle, he was born with the handsome face of a Han boy, and his uncle was a full native of Huangsha Castle, with thick eyebrows and eyes, slightly sunken eye sockets, and a straight nose like a towering mountain range, and like most men in the frontier, the beard on his face was slightly curled, accounting for most of his face, and he spoke, with a border national accent that was a hundred times heavier than Meng Yang.

"Stinky boy, what are you running around!"

"Uncle, uncle." Meng Yang's face stiffened and smiled, "I found a hero, and I will go with you to suppress the bandits." ”

When Meng Yang's uncle heard this, he glanced at Su Yu with his eyes, and said angrily at Meng Yang: "What are you messing about!" Don't go! ”

"Sister Yu's kung fu is very good, she saved my life."

Meng Yang's uncle raised his eyes and looked at Su Yu again, knowing that although Meng Yang was arrogant, he was not a child who loved to lie, so he put away his previous indifferent appearance and said solemnly to Su Yu, "Thank you." ”

After that, he went to the broken house behind him, took out a few swords, and said to Su Yu: "I,, am a rude person, I don't say any fancy polite words, this is a few weapons I fight, you can pick one at random." ”

Su Yu glanced at the weapon, and couldn't help but marvel, this Meng Yang's uncle's craftsmanship is really good, the various weapons placed outside the iron shop are already very good, these few weapons taken out of the house should be stronger than most of the weapons used by people on the rivers and lakes, and the details of the technique are quite delicate, and there are even some subtle similarities with the phoenix behind Su Yu.

"You're welcome, I've got a saber."

Su Yu's decisive refusal surprised Uncle Nanig, and he couldn't help but look at the two long swords that Su Yu was carrying behind him. Usually, in order to protect the two swords, and in order not to be so dazzling, Su Yu wrapped them in clean cotton cloth, but now only a little bit of the hilt of the sword was exposed, which made Uncle Nanig's eyes widen, rushed out of the shop, and prayed in front of Su Yu: "Girl, please take off your saber and let me take a look." ”

Su Yu was surprised in his heart, thinking that a single piece of sword hilt had made this Uncle recognize Feng Ming's goodness, so he was generous, took Feng Ming out from behind his back, and handed it to the excited uncle in front of him.

Uncle took the sword in his hand, his hands trembled slightly, and then, holding a sword, began to burst into tears.

Su Yu looked at it, thoughtful, and didn't speak, but Meng Yang on the side was puzzled, and asked his uncle, "Uncle, do you recognize Sister Yu's sword?" ”

"Don't just recognize it." Uncle Nanige sighed with emotion, looked up at Su Yu and said, "The girl has another one behind her, but is it a phoenix?" ”

Su Yu frowned, "Do you recognize?" ”

Uncle wiped his tears, "These are the two swords that my master forged with all his heart and soul many years ago and gave them to the sword god Mr. Moli. When the master only said that sharp weapons are often there, people who can be worthy of sharp weapons, but they are not often, sharp weapons in the hands of bad people, it will become a murderous butcher knife, in the hands of good people, it will become a sharp blade to save people, after the master realized this, he has sealed the craft for many years and has never cast a sword, until he met the chivalrous Mr. Mo Li, he regained the heart of casting the sword, exhausted all the hard work of the rest of his life, and cast these two great swords, and my master's hard work was exhausted, when the lamp dried up, he threw himself into the sword casting furnace and sacrificed these two swords with his own flesh and blood, My master and wife failed to live alone, and also went with the master, Feng Ming was born with a spirit, then perhaps, it is my master and wife! ”

Su Yu's heart trembled when she heard this, she had used this Fengming for many years, but she didn't know that there was such a tragic deed in it, and she couldn't help but feel more pity and love for Fengming, not only because it had a story of life and death, but this sword, it was also a manifestation of her and Xiao Yi's heart-to-heart, every night, when she wiped the phoenix, she could feel it, it still had majestic vitality in it, so she was even more convinced that Xiao Yi was not dead.

And when they told others about this matter, they always took a look at the still the same phoenix, and persuaded Su Yu to look away, not to go crazy.

Reaching out to untie the phoenix on his back, Su Yu held it with both hands, and also handed it to Uncle's hand, seeing that the pair of swords was lying quietly in his hands, as if he had lost all his edge, and it was soft like a pair of children who had found their families.

held the two swords in his hands and rubbed them carefully for a long time, and finally did not try to pull them away, but only respectfully handed them back into Su Yu's hands.

"Feng Ming has already recognized the Lord, and others can't pull it out, they belong to the girl, so they will return it to the girl, and I hope the girl will be treated well."

Su Yu took it with both hands and nodded in response: "Definitely." ”

After getting the promise, Uncle looked at Su Yu carefully for a moment, and asked with some puzzlement: "The girl should use Fengming, so ...... Huang?" ”

"After some things, our husband and wife were separated, and I came to this yellow sand castle to find him."

suddenly realized, and remembered the purpose of Meng Yang taking Su Yu to find him, so he asked, "That bandit is the master who captured the phoenix?" ”

Su Yu shook his head, "Not sure." ”

Meng Yang explained on the side: "I have seen a person who is very similar to Yu's sister-in-law, who was captured by bandits. ”

turned his head and glared at Meng Yang, and scolded, "I know you hate that bandit, but don't talk nonsense!" ”

It seemed that the scolding of the elders hit Meng Yang's tears, and Meng Yang, who said it, instantly burst into tears and retorted: "I didn't!" ”

Su Yu looked at it and said on the side: "I heard that the robbers in the desert are rampant and cruel, as the master of the phoenix, I can't bury their glory and righteousness, although I can't make any great achievements, like Master Moli, I can do a line of justice, and I can be regarded as worthy of the two ancestors of the sword." ”

"Good!" Uncle laughed, stroked his beard, and said to Meng Yang: "Feng Ming's master, since he is a heroine among women, I will take some people from the fort and the girl tonight to pick the bandit's nest, Meng Yang, you stay here and guard, don't be impulsive in everything, otherwise I will break your legs for your father!" ”

"Uncle, I'm going!"

"No!" slammed the table beside him with swords, and the table swayed a few times, and with a bunch of swords, it almost collapsed.

Su Yu was silent, knowing that this Uncle seemed to be fierce to Meng Yang, but in fact, he didn't want him to put himself in danger, after all, the young master of the Yellow Sand Castle, Su Yu heard that there was only Meng Yang.

After saying goodbye, Su Yu no longer took care of other people's housework, so he went back in the direction of the inn, so as to rest for a while, and when it was night, he went to send some retribution to the robber who was said to be murderous.

If God had eyes, it would be better if Xiao Yat was really there.

There is very little rain in the desert, it seems that every night is clear, the sky is densely packed with stars, with the continuous desert, covering the sky, as if walking to the desert and the skyline, reaching out to pick a star.

The white moonlight sprinkled on the place, like a vast layer of snow, a group of people gathered, without lighting torches, stepping on the moonlight all over the ground, they could follow the road left in the memory in the desert, towards the bandits' lair.

Walking in the desert, no more than flat land, deep and shallow for dozens of miles, close to the bandits' den, the stars in the sky have been less than half, and the eastern sky, faintly revealing a trace of white.

This time is just right, people in the first half of the night, most of the vigilance is slightly higher, once the whole night is spent quietly, when the dawn is approaching, most of the vigilance will be relaxed. When Su Yu helped Tang Zhe transfer troops in Xichuan before, he used this time many times, which often had the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Thousands of troops are still like this, not to mention a small bandit nest now.

Hidden under a mound, looking towards the bandit's camp, sure enough, only one or two people were left from the sentry standing on the wall.

Su Yu gestured to Uncle, the two of them nodded, did not startle the snake, took advantage of the bandit's guards not noticed, landed silently, climbed over the wall into the courtyard, and went straight to the residence of the bandit leader.

In this hierarchical world, it is actually very easy to find the superior in a group of people, most of the time, the superior will always do everything they can to make their various conditions superior to others, such as food, such as shelter, so there is no doubt that the person who lives best and eats the best in this bandit's den must be the leader of the bandits.
