Chapter 760: Carrying a Heavy Load
Shi Long, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, wants to continue the string, and the person he wants to marry is Zhao Ziyi, the master of the Ziyi Gate.
The invitation has been sent out.
Regardless of whether there is true love between Shi Long and Zhao Ziyi, the alliance between the Dragon Slaying Gang and the Ziyi Gate is certain.
Sloan has added another boost to himself.
According to their friendship and status, Wu Gu and the others will definitely get an invitation.
They first flew pigeons to pass the book back to the sect, informed the disciples of their whereabouts, and asked the disciples to come to meet them with invitations, and then rushed to the capital with Bai Yi and Huang Lixin to ---- the capital where Shi Long and Zhao Ziyi's wedding were held.
After arriving in the capital, Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan took Bai Yi and Huang Lixin to live in the mansion they had purchased in the west of the city.
There are still a few days before Shi Long's wedding, and the two of them take Bai Yi and Huang Lixin to visit the capital during the day, and at night, Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan sneak into Shi Long's mansion to inquire about the news.
On the eve of Shi Long's wedding, Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan lay on the roof and eavesdropped on the conversation between Shi Long and his second apprentice Fu Dong.
I only listened to Fu Dongdao: "Master, senior brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to last tomorrow." ”
Shi Long sighed and said, "Bad fate." He patted the table, was silent for a moment, and said, "You asked the doctor to increase the dose of medicine and hang his spirit for me, even if you want to die, you can't die on a happy day." ”
Fu Dong persuaded: "Master, senior brother is not able to make up for it, the dose is too large, I'm afraid I can't stand it." ”
Shi Long said: "The master of the Zhao family did not agree to the marriage, if it happened to a white matter, can this family still get married?" He's a useless thing, and he's blocking me at this time. After pacing around a few times, he said slowly: "It's okay, master and apprentice, I have raised him for so many years, and he has to take the initiative to share his worries with the master." Dong'er, there are still two hours before the time of the child. The tone was gloomy and cold.
After Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, they both felt a chill in their backs, and couldn't help but shrug their shoulders.
Fu Dong confronted Shi Long in the room, directly heard his words, saw his expression, and felt even deeper, and was frightened for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes." ”
Shi Long smiled slightly and said, "Since you understand what Master means, you don't need Master to say it." ”
Fu Dong's eyes widened, and he knelt down with a "brush", his eyes pleading.
Shi Long looked up to the sky, put his hands behind his back, and said: "Dong'er, since you became the commander, you have rolled in this officialdom, and you have really grown a lot." You did not disappoint Master. The implication is that since you have grown, you must keep it, and since you have not disappointed Master, then you must not disappoint Master.
Fu Dong begged: "Master! ”
Shi Long waved one hand and told Fu Dong to shut up, indicating that his mind had been decided.
Fu Dong knelt on the ground.
Shi Long looked at Fu Dong with a face as heavy as ink.
In the study, the master and apprentice stood and knelt together, silently facing each other.
After a long time, Shi Long said: "Dong'er, you should understand the truth that you can't lose a big one because of a small one." For the sake of the future of the Dragon Slaying Gang, there will be absolutely no room for mistakes tomorrow. ”
Fu Dong was moved by the words, and walked out of the study worriedly.
The master and apprentice spoke without beginning or end, and Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan were confused when they heard it on the roof. But what they can be sure of is that, first, there is something strange about the marriage, and second, Shi Long wants Fu Dong to do it tonight to get rid of the eldest apprentice Cao Ning, so as not to delay the marriage.
Sloan hadn't left the study yet.
Wu Yunzhao asked Gu Qianshan to continue to stare at Shi Long, and he followed behind Fu Dong.
Cao Ning is already terminally ill, and he can't see that he can't live.
Fu Dong walked to the side of the bed and gently woke up his senior brother.
Cao Ning moved his eyes and smiled slightly.
Fu Dong smiled.
Cao Ning moved his mouth and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't make a sound.
Fu Dong said: "Senior brother, don't worry, drink some water first." He got up and walked to the table, picked up the teapot to pour water for his brother, but found that the teapot was cold.
Fu Dong felt a pain in his heart.
Since Cao Ning fell ill and was no longer valued by Shi Long, Cao Ning's life fell from the sky to the ground in this Shi Mansion, and the people naturally did not wait to see him and did not serve him well.
Cao Ning saw that his junior brother was holding the teapot and did not move, so he knew it in his heart, and he tried his best to prop himself up, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's better to be cooler, it's cool to drink, and your chest is comfortable." ”
Fu Dong poured the tea at this time, but he didn't take out the poison hidden in his chest and handed to him by Shi Long.
Fu Dong poured the tea, held the teacup with both hands, held it tightly, added a little warmth to the cold tea, slowly walked to the side of the bed, and fed the senior brother water.
Cao Ning said: "Thank you." ”
Fu Dong put down the cup and said with a smile: "We are senior brothers, what are you polite to me." ”
Cao Ning coughed lightly twice and stretched out his thin palm.
Fu Dong reached out and held it.
Cao Ning said: "Senior brother, senior brother is not angry, you don't have to worry about me." I have fallen into such a field because I have taken it upon myself and inflicted it on myself. ”
Fu Dong didn't know what to say to comfort, just looked at Cao Ning. The picture is broadcast all over the world
Cao Ning smiled lightly and asked, "What did Master come to ask you to do?" ”
When Fu Dong heard this, his body trembled, and his eyes became flustered.
Cao Ning said with a smile: "You are all a big official, be more steady, let people see through it at a glance, how will you mix it up in the future." ”
Fu Dong whispered: "I'm not suitable to be an official in the first place. "I feel worried.
Cao Ning encouraged: "Who is born to do something." Take your time, and you will only get better and better. ”
Burdened with the "heavy trust" of the master, Fu Dong couldn't face Cao Ning with peace of mind, and said, "Senior brother, I'll pour you another glass of water." "I want to get up.
Cao Ning stopped him.
Fu Dong said secretly: "Oops." Fu sat down again, uncomfortable, like a child caught stealing candy, trying to laugh or not, crying or not.
Cao Ning said with a smile: "You and I have been learning art together since childhood, day and night, we know each other best, who can hide from whom." Let's get straight to the point. ”
Fu Dong smiled bitterly and sighed: "My cultivation skills are always inferior to my senior brother's. Senior brother, hurry up and get better. I'm reckless, if you don't look at me, maybe one day, I will offend the officials above me, and my life will be lost. ”
Fu Dong is talking about him.
Fortunately, according to Cao Ning's state at the moment, it is very reasonable for Fu Dong to care about him. Cao Ning understood Fu Dong's discomfort as being unable to face the decadence of his former senior brother. Of course, Cao Ning couldn't have imagined that his master would be a killer because he couldn't get used to his appearance and was worried that he would die tomorrow and add bad luck to the marriage.
Cao Ning didn't doubt it, and said gloomily: "If it can be good, it will be good a long time ago, why delay until now." Thinking of the cause, he slowly shook his head.
Fu Dong hurriedly said: "Senior brother, don't think about her." As long as you don't want her, you will definitely be cured. ”
Cao Ning said slowly: "How can you not want to? ”
Fu Dongdao: "But, you know that you can't do it, what's the use of thinking?" ”
Cao Ning bowed his head silently. The yellow hair was scattered around his ears, swaying slightly.
In other things, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers is a sign of courage. In terms of feelings, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers is a manifestation of stupidity or stupidity.
Stupid, stupid, stupid to a certain extent, people are naturally stupid. Of course, people who are stupid don't know what it means to know what it means to do it.
Fu Dong was distressed, frowned and said: "Senior brother, if it is an ordinary woman, you are bold, you can say whatever you need to say to others, whether it is good or not, you can have results, but people are married women, you have to avoid suspicion even when talking to others, what is the point of thinking nonsense." I don't understand, if it were me, I would be sad for two days at most, and I would never want to do it again, and live my life well. ”
Cao Ning smiled and sighed: "So I think about myself, and I have never let people know." ”
Fu Dong said "oops" and said helplessly: "I don't know how to persuade you." Senior brother, don't be stubborn, look at yourself, you're so thin that you have a handful of bones left, you're still..."
Cao Ning patted Fu Dong's shoulder and said slowly, "Do I still want to live?" ”
Fu Dong nodded.
Cao Ning said: "Maybe, I don't want to." ”
Fu Dong was anxious and held Cao Ning's hand tightly.
Cao Ning's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "I can't forget, I can't let go, I can only torture myself, rather than being a person and a ghost, it's better to die happily." He sighed heavily: "But I'm afraid of death." Because after death, there will be no chance to see her again. I don't ask her to do anything to me, I just want to be able to look at her from afar, that's enough. ”
When Fu Dong heard this, a heart in his cavity throbbed, and he said gently: "Senior brother, you are tired, lie down and rest." ”
Cao Ning said "um".
Fu Dong carefully put Cao Ning down and pressed the quilt for him, he didn't dare to look at Cao Ning during the whole process, for fear that he would accidentally show his feet, so he thought about escaping from the house quickly, and then went to intercede with the master, asking the master to read on the master-apprentice relationship and give Cao Ning more time. He was looking forward to a turning point.
However, God always makes things go wrong.
Fu Dong just stood up straight and was about to put down the bed tent for Cao Ning, when the poison wrapped in yellow paper on his chest slipped out of his clothes and fell on the quilt.
The bright yellow color is very dazzling.
Fu Dong's task was to take the poison given by his master to attack his own senior brother.
He was as afraid of this thing as a tiger, and when he saw the poison bag drop, he panicked for a moment, his mind was blank, he didn't know how to deal with it, and his heart was full of guilt for his senior brother.
Cao Ning saw that his junior brother was suddenly staring in a daze, and he didn't know why, he followed his line of sight and looked at the paper bag, his brows were furrowed and relaxed in an instant, his expression was indifferent, he pulled out his hand from the quilt, picked up the yellow paper bag, pinched it, his eyes deepened a little, and said, "Senior brother, something has fallen." ”
Fu Dong's heart sank, he shuddered, looked at the inexplicable Cao Ning, looked at the yellow paper bag, and with a weak heart, he snatched it, held it in his hand, and carried it behind him in a panic, and said, "Senior brother, I'll go first." His face was as white as paper, and there was no trace of blood. But he couldn't walk, as if he were nailed to the edge of the bed.
Cao Ning called softly, "Senior brother." ”
Fu Dong looked at Cao Ning.
I only heard Cao Ning say: "I'm not a good apprentice, let alone a good senior brother, these days, tired guys are worried." ”
Fu Dong said in a trembling voice: "Senior brother! ”
Cao Ning smiled lightly and said, "Don't be afraid. He raised his hand and moved his fingers.
Fu Dong shook his head, took a step back, and looked at Cao Ning vigilantly.
Cao Ning said: "I have done more things than you. The implication is that Cao Ning has already guessed the purpose of the package.
