CHAPTER XVI

The entire Wuyang Pavilion knelt on the ground in unison: "The Hao Yongjun is waiting for everyone to obey the orders of the Seventh Senior Sister." ”

The battle is a bit big, the Ling family army led by her father has been ordered by her brother on the frontier, she has seen her brother ordering troops once, but it has been a long time ago, she is indeed a little unable to control such a field, and can only barely stand on the high platform.

wanted to imitate his brother Ling Xian's appearance and say a few words, but he couldn't hold back a sentence for a long time, Ling Yueyan was helpless, looked back at Master Ji for help, Master Ji grinned, walked up to the high platform and shouted: "Listen to the order, return to the team." ”

"Yes." The crowd went about their business again.

Ling Yueyan breathed a sigh of relief, he almost couldn't get off the stage, his hand holding the golden candle order trembled slightly, thinking that he couldn't hold this thing, and he had to find a chance to return it.

Master Ji is usually a rough man, but at this time, he seemed to see Ling Yueyan's thoughts very carefully, and said as he walked into the room: "Don't think about who to give the Golden Candle Order to again, once Hao Yongjun determines that you are the Lord of the Golden Candle Order, unless someone dies, no matter who takes the Golden Candle Order later, it will have no effect." ”

Dare to love the operation just now is for everyone to recognize the master, but it is really difficult for people to ride a tiger, Ling Yueyan has to admire Master Ji, he is decisive, and he is worthy of being a former subordinate of Master.

Master Ji was still beating on the long sword very seriously, Ling Yueyan asked a few more words about Haoyu, Master Ji was very strict and couldn't ask anything, so Ling Yueyan left.

When he came out, the attitude of the guards outside was diametrically opposite to when he entered, not only did he not have a cold face anymore, but he shouted at Senior Sister Seventh with his hands and fists one by one, as if he was more attentive than anyone else.

This group of wooden stakes didn't think that she would make trouble for them, Ling Yueyan couldn't help but want to laugh, and one by one changed his face faster than turning a book.

Since the incident of Wuyang Pavilion came out, Xie Ji came to her less and less, and later he sent someone to bring Li Nannan up, on the day of Li Nannan's apprenticeship, Xie Ji did not appear, and he was the second senior brother Nanfu instead of Xie Ji's apprentice.

Li Nannan has hatred in his heart, and he practices martial arts very fast, Master Ji once came out and bumped into the two of them competing, Li Nannan won her, but Master Ji was quick to talk, bluntly saying that Li Nannan was too hasty, and the practice was fierce, which was not a long-term solution.

It's April again, Ling Yueyan has been in Linya Villa for nearly a year, and the little guy who delivered the letter on this day sent two letters from the same place, one was written by his father and the other was Haoyu.

Speaking of Haoyu, Ling Yueyan didn't know what she looked like, but she had been haunted by this person after the death of her master, so she wrote a letter to ask the senior brother to hand it to Haoyu, and she waited for this reply for five months.

Ling Yueyan didn't open Haoyu's letter, but opened his father's first, and the letter said: Mother reads it, but all the kings think about it, and you don't do the etiquette of the courtesy, worry, don't return.

The handwriting was not my father's, but my mother's handwriting, and my mother often had letters from home, but this time she specially used her father's official seal to send a letter, in which she talked about someone who asked her not to go back, and did not say who the person who proposed her was who.

No matter who it is, it is definitely not Brother Ye Zheng, who else besides Brother Ye Zheng will make his mother so worried, Ling Yueyan thought for a while, picked up the envelope and looked at it carefully, and suddenly looked at the official seal, the letter was read.

The meaning of the mother's letter was to let her go back after the ceremony, her birthday was the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, so it didn't mean that she couldn't go home for the New Year, Ling Yueyan frowned and walked inside, and met Li Nannan just in front of her.

Li Nannan has green silk hair, her originally charming and graceful face has become light and elegant, her skin is darker than before, her face is always tightly frowning, and she has a murderous aura.

"When are you going to go down the mountain?" Li Nannan asked.

Ling Yueyan had already planned to go down the mountain, and the day before yesterday, she also notified the small box to pack her luggage, but she didn't mention it to Xie Ji for a long time, since she and Xie Ji came out of the Wuyang Pavilion that day, there seemed to be something between the two.

"Tomorrow." Ling Yueyan took a pot of wine in the room and walked out, Li Nannan followed behind, this direction is to go...

"You..."

"You go down the mountain first to find the purple cicada and the little box, and we will meet in the garden tomorrow." Ling Yueyan turned back to Li Nannan and said.

Li Nannan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.

Ling Yueyan kept walking forward, walked to Guling Peak, stopped by the bridge for a while, and the north wind blew, the north wind in winter was a little biting, and she gathered her white velvet robe.

"Little girl, be careful of slippery roads." A man's voice came from behind him, and Ling Yueyan looked back at him, he was leaning over and sweeping the dead leaves on the ground.

"Master Sweeper." Ling Yueyan shouted softly.

The sweeping master looked up at Ling Yueyan and smiled with satisfaction, and walked away with a broom.

Ling Yueyan bent down and picked up a vine on the ground, and tied a pot of wine in his hand to his body, that day, on the other side, Alan said that even the sweeping master of Linya Villa would stare in the air, and later she found the sweeping master and wanted to pull him to compete, only to know that he had no martial arts, only to sweep the floor.

Alain said that just to motivate her, except for the master's personal disciples and Alain, no one in Linya Villa would stare at her.

It was also recently that she learned that in addition to being the apprentice of the fifth senior sister, Alan was also an orphan left behind by a general in the battle of Shalang City, and she was a sister to the fifth senior sister who had never met before.

Lightly raised his toes, the north wind made the wooden bridge sway very strongly, but Ling Yueyan did not have the slightest fear, nor did he look down, it only took a few steps to cross the wooden bridge, and the wine in the wine jug on his body did not spill a drop.

She looked at the bottom of the cliff, remembering the scene where the third senior brother rescued him that day, as well as the jade belt hook that fell, after the back injury was healed, she tried many methods, this cliff was extremely steep, and she couldn't go down at all.

"Master Ji said that although your martial arts attainments are not high, you can listen to the sound and condense the air steps, as well as light skills, and you can practice them all superbly." Xie Ji came out of the room behind him.

Ling Yueyan looked back at Xie Ji, obviously she had only seen it not long ago, but she always had the illusion that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she chuckled at the corner of her mouth: "Senior brother is so busy all day, how can he have time to come here." ”

"Just take you for a walk, take you there?" Xie Ji walked up to Ling Yueyan and stretched out his right hand, holding the folding fan behind his back with his left hand, unconsciously rubbing the fan handle.

Ling Yueyan was stunned for a moment, then then held the wine in one hand and put the other on Xie Ji's hand, touching Xie Ji's palm, which was very cold, without half a minute of temperature.

She was very surprised, Xie Ji used light skills to hold her all the way and took her to the place where the master was buried, she never came here once after the master left, Ling Yueyan let go of Xie Ji's hand, walked forward, and suddenly stopped.

"Why did you bring me here?" She asked.

Xie Ji stepped forward slowly, there was a dead leaf on the tombstone, he gently took it away, and his eyes were rarely sad: "Master spoke to you alone before he died, I didn't expect him to give you the golden candle order." ”

Ling Yueyan lowered his eyes and chuckled: "So you thought that day that I would definitely die." ”

Xie Ji didn't speak, standing in front of the tombstone with a depressed expression, Ling Yueyan sighed lightly: "Actually, there's no need to take it out again, I haven't even served apprenticeship tea, theoretically..."

"I'm sorry." Xie Ji suddenly spoke.

The two of them fell silent, the wind blew Ling Yueyan's face a little stinging, like an ice blade, what could she say, it didn't matter? She couldn't do it, and although more than four months had passed, the incident was like a scar on her waist that couldn't be easily removed.

Maybe she takes friendship too seriously, Wen Zhong made trouble at her, and she felt that it was nothing to lose her temper, but thought that such Wen Zhong really regarded her as a junior sister, but from the beginning she had no reservations about her, a gentle senior brother, but she didn't say a word when she knew that she might die, she really couldn't care.

Xie Ji walked over slowly, wanting to pat Ling Yueyan's shoulder with his hand, but Ling Yueyan dodged sideways, his eyes moved down not to look at Xie Ji, staring at the folding fan in Xie Ji's hand.

After being silent for a long time, Xie Ji said in a dumb voice: "Whether you believe it or not, if there is really a soldier at his neck that day, I will not stand idly by." ”

Ling Yueyan raised his head and looked at Xie Ji, the corners of his mouth curled, as if he was smiling: "Is this the rhetoric that Senior Brother has been thinking about for more than four months?" ”

This was said in an extremely cold-blooded manner, Xie Ji's eyes were a little hurt, he couldn't even laugh, and turned to leave.

It wasn't until he couldn't hear the footsteps that Ling Yueyan shed tears, picked up the wine jug and pointed at the master's grave: "Today, I will replace tea with wine, and I will serve apprenticeship tea, with Master Lao's teachings, Yan'er will remember it." ”

A drop of rain fell on Ling Yueyan's chest, she remembered that Haoyu's letter had not yet been read, it was just right to look at it at this time, there were only a few short lines on the letter, Ling Yueyan felt bad after reading it, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, she casually threw the letter on the ground and turned to leave.

The rain was heavy, thunder was accompanied, and the words on the letter were diluted with the rain until they became one with the earth.

She didn't say goodbye to everyone, because she felt that saying goodbye was a sad thing, and the disciples hadn't gotten up yet, but when they walked to the mountain gate, they saw Alain standing there with his body brunched.

Alan usually only has a good relationship with Master Ji except cooking, and she holds a long sword in her hand, which is the one that Master Ji has been transforming.

"Master Ji gave it to you, saying that this is a sword that only you deserve."

Ling Yueyan took the sword and measured it carefully, the length still hadn't changed, and he couldn't help but feel strange, since Master Ji knew the shortcomings of this sword, why hadn't he changed it.

She was about to put the sword behind her back, and accidentally touched the mechanism on the scabbard, and suddenly the long sword turned into a short sword, and even the scabbard became shorter, Ling Yueyan couldn't put it down, it was really exquisite, and she sincerely admired Master Ji.

This length is like a short knife used by the soldiers of the Far Cypriot Kingdom, and it can't be seen at all when wearing thick clothes, and it can even be hidden in the back waist, she likes it very much, and looks back at the direction of the Wuyang Pavilion, although Master Ji looks very rough on the surface, he is actually a careful person.
