Chapter Twenty-Three: Return to Beijing
Just when I was undecided, he saw me, after so many years, he actually recognized me at a glance, when he walked towards me with a face full of resentment, I probably froze, because that look was really terrible, scarlet eyes, pale, like a demon from the underworld.
Until he pulled me to turn around and leave the Huo Mansion and enter the Wuyi General's Mansion, I didn't dare to make the slightest sound, he repelled everyone, and I stood in front of him in a daze, so that I forgot all about why I came to look for him at that time.
After a long silence, he opened his mouth a little, and asked me why in a hoarse voice, I didn't know how to answer, but said, is Feng'er still alive, he laughed at that time, and said with a smile, he hoped to kill Feng'er with his own hands, and then break the bones and ashes, but he laughed and laughed but cried, I knew that he couldn't do it, and Feng'er was still alive, and he was relieved.
He didn't tell me what really happened between them, but I think it was probably Feng'er's fault, after all, he was very broken by collaborating with the enemy and treason, especially the person who had always been a brother himself.
I remember looking at him so painfully, I said at that time that if killing me could get a trace of forgiveness from Huo Gongzi, I was willing, he just looked at me for a long time before saying, 'It's none of your business.' ’
Speaking of this, Wan'er's expression was a lot lonely, Muzi smiled and wanted to open his mouth but didn't know what to comfort, he was not good at comforting others, so he just lowered his eyes.
Wan'er rubbed her eyebrows and continued: After that, I originally planned to leave to continue looking for Feng'er's whereabouts, but Huo Gongzi left me behind, built a courtyard for me to live in peace of mind, and told me that he would find an opportunity to take me to see Feng'er, but now is not the time, whether it is guilt or something else, I will stay and do what I can, even if it is to help him make clothes, it can be regarded as making up for a little bit of Feng'er's mistakes.
It wasn't until later that I learned that Southern Xinjiang had always been led by Gu poisonous Gu worms, if Huo Gongzi didn't leave me, if I went to Southern Xinjiang alone, as long as I ran into it, I would undoubtedly die without a place to be buried, and I might even die without a whole body. Huo Gongzi is a person, even if Feng'er betrayed him, he still takes such care of Feng'er's sister, I really don't know how to face him sometimes.
Wan'er sighed after speaking: "When it wasn't for telling me what happened when they went on the expedition that year, in fact, for a moment, I really regretted looking for a master to teach him martial arts literacy, I originally thought it was just my younger brother who grew up, but I never thought that hatred blinded his heart." Father's business, how can it be counted on the head of Huo Fu, our sister and brother really owe Huo Gongzi too much. But if you really let me watch him die, I can't bear it, he is my only relative after all. ”
After hearing this, Mu Zixiao also sighed and said slowly: "Maybe Huo Nanqi doesn't really hate it." After speaking, Mu Zixiao only said in his heart, it turned out that when Wan'er first saw him and wanted to keep him by his side, it was not to be a male pet, but because he looked a little like Yanfeng, if he had known these things earlier, he might have stayed with her for some time.
"Mu Gongzi, once Huo Gongzi identifies someone, he will not change, his heart is as firm as a stone, I hope you can treat him well." Wan'er's eyes flashed slightly when she said this, as if she was mixed with other emotions, but Mu Zixiao didn't notice her expression, and said in her heart: "Now it seems that Huo Nanqi's kindness to me is really the same as others, and I still think... ”
Before Mu Zixiao could answer, the two of them heard the sound of knives hitting each other suddenly in the room they came out of, and they looked at each other in a panic.
Before he reached the door, he saw Yan Feng break through the wooden door and fall out, with blood on his face and a terrifying sword wound on his shoulder. "Wind!" Wan'er hurriedly ran forward to check on his injuries, "Sister, you get out of the way." Before the words fell, a long sword still dripping with blood was pressed against Yan Feng's throat, Huo Nanqi held the hilt of the sword with a gloomy face and shouted in a deep voice: "Do you think you can really beat me?" ”
"Phew!" Yan Feng spit out the dirty blood in his mouth and scolded: "What if you can't beat it, Huo Nanqi, you are just a loyal dog of the Dog Emperor, and sooner or later we in Southern Xinjiang will spread the Gu worms to your Zhou Kingdom!" By then, you'll be nothing more than rubbish under my feet! Hahaha! The sinister laughter echoed, making people's scalps tingle.
Huo Nanqi seemed to be about to pierce his throat, Wan'er hurriedly stood in front of Yan Feng and knelt down for Huo Nanqi, pleading: "Huo Gongzi! Please spare his life! Please! Don't kill him, please don't kill him! ”
"Sister! If you don't ask him, death will be death, even if I turn into a powerful ghost, I will not let go of your Huo family and your dog emperor! Yan Feng laughed, his expression was extremely hideous, the wounds on his body were too excited, and the blood flowed even more violently, Wan'er hurriedly covered his wounds, choked and whispered: "Don't say it again, Feng'er, sister, please don't say it again." She couldn't cry for a long time, Mu Zixiao didn't know whether to step forward to stop her or say something, remembering Wan'er's life experience, she gently pulled Laho Nanqi's sleeve.
I don't know if it's because of Mu Zixiao's smile or Huo Nanqi looked at Wan'er's distorted face from crying, after all, he frowned, withdrew his hand, and said in a low voice: "You go, there is no next time." ”
"Thank you, Master Huo! Thank you! Wan'er kowtowed again, and hurriedly picked up Yanfeng and wanted to take him away, but just when they had just taken two steps, Huo Nanqi spoke: "You can go, your sister stays." ”
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, and looked at Huo Nanqi as if they were puzzled, Huo Nanqi brought Wan'er over, wasn't it just to reunite their sister and brother? Why keep his sister.
Yan Feng stood up straight, covered his shoulders and covered the blood that was still overflowing, looked at Huo Nanqi viciously and said angrily: "This is none of my sister's business, what are you doing?" Xu was afraid that Wan'er would have three long and two short, and her voice trembled a little.
Huo Nanqi didn't answer, Wan'er seemed to come back to her senses, pulled Yan Feng and said gently: "Feng'er, it's okay, Huo Gongzi is very good to my sister, you can go quickly, my sister is already content to see you, you have to take good care of yourself." ”
Yan Feng stood in place, trembling constantly, like a beast that was about to explode, Mu Zi smiled and thought that their sister and brother had not seen each other for a long time, although they looked down on Yan Feng's style, but Wan'er was innocent after all, and said in a low voice: "Brother, or..."
"You don't care about it." Huo Nanqi said in a deep voice, although he spoke softly, Mu Zixiao also felt that he was really in charge of too much, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.
Wan'er whispered a few more words to Yanfeng, pushed him hard and cried, "Let's go!" The style of speech seems to be unwilling, but no one can guarantee that Huo Nanqi will not regret killing him with his sword in the next moment, indeed, he has never been Huo Nanqi's opponent when he fights alone.
Without the figure of Yan Feng, Wan'er didn't say much and still lowered her head and sobbed softly, Huo Nanqi didn't look at her, pulled Muzi and smiled: "Let's go." ”
The three of them were speechless all the way, the atmosphere was extremely depressed and heavy, Mu Zixiao and Wan'er didn't dare to look at Huo Nanqi's cold face, and followed silently all the way, until they returned to the inn, Mu Zixiao saw that if he hadn't already driven the carriage and was waiting, he wanted to say hello, but he also closed his mouth in this terrifying atmosphere.
Seeing this, Wan'er silently got into the carriage that Ruofei was holding, and Huo Nanqi took Mu Zixiao to ride a tall horse alone, and Mu Zixiao understood that he was going back to Beijing.
Originally, when they came, they traveled for a month, and he and Huo Nanqi arrived at General Wuyi's Mansion in ten days because of horseback riding, and if it weren't for the fact that He Wan'er was still on the road, after all, their horseback was much faster than that of driving horses.
As soon as he returned to the house and settled Mu Zixiao, Huo Nanqi immediately entered the palace non-stop, during the ten-day trip, Huo Nanqi seemed to be in an unusually heavy mood, Mu Zixiao didn't dare to ask him what happened, Huo Nanqi entered the palace, he waited quietly in the house for him to come back, but when he fell asleep, he woke up from the chair crooked the next day, and he didn't see Huo Nanqi.
Until the seventh day, after Yan Feng sent Wan'er back to the other courtyard and entered the gate of General Wuyi's mansion, Mu Zixiao didn't see Huo Nanqi's figure, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Huo Nanqi?" ”
If it weren't for the fact that he seemed to be stunned by his question, he was shocked for a moment and said, "Didn't the young general come back with you first?" ”
"It was me who came back with me, but after settling me, he entered the palace, and for seven days, I haven't even seen his shadow." Mu Zixiao was also confused, logically speaking, if Huo Nanqi did something important, it would be understandable if he didn't bring himself, why didn't he even bring it this time? !
