And for whom will my sword be lifted? - Cloud Flying White

…………………………………………………

And I don't know if it's a coincidence or what. The short hand refers to the present hour.

Yun Feibai was curious and admired.

Only then did Wang Yuan realize that there was a guest. Turning his head, his eyes were seven points of scrutiny, and three points of banter.

"You're that kid from the Yun family?"

It is not an exaggeration for Yun Feibai to be called a brat, he is already young. It's just that he has experienced too much life and death to give him maturity and calmness beyond his peers. He nodded to Wang Yuan: "It's Yun Feibai down there." ”

"Just in time! Come and see the clock I made. ”

He pulled Yun Feibai over loudly. Let him see. Wang Yuan pointed to the wooden box he was fiddling with just now and showed it to Yun Feibai.

Is this the bell? This time, Yun Feibai was a little confused. Isn't the bell one of those brass bells made of copper, cylindrical, hollow, and sounding when it strikes? How could it be this boxy box made of wood?

"This is the bell?"

Wang Yuan saw Yun Feibai's disbelievable eyes and chuckled.

"The shortest hand is the hour hand, which refers to the hour, the second longest hand is the minute hand, and the longest second hand is the second hand. Time can be calculated more accurately. Moreover, I can move this clock by myself. And unlike sundials, it depends on the weather, and it can be timed at night. ”

If Du Ruo sees it, I'm afraid she will drop her jaw again. This is clearly a modern pendulum clock! How did Wang Yuan do it? Although there are still differences with modern pendulum clocks, they have also imitated seven, seven, eight, eight.

At this time, Yun Feibai's expression was obviously very surprised, there was such a thing in the world. Muttered to himself: "No wonder even if you never participate in our actions, the sect master still appoints you as the right envoy." ”

Wang Yuan put away his original casualness and became serious, and he asked Hu Er to step back. At one time, there were only two people left in the octagonal pavilion.

A clear wind blows, bringing a faint floral scent.

"Tell me, what's the matter with coming to me?" Wang Yuan knew that if it wasn't for something extraordinary, he wouldn't come to him. It's been a long time since he's been in politics. I have seen too many relatives and old acquaintances indulge in the struggle for power, and in the end, they all ended up miserable.

Yun Feibai also got straight to the point and talked about their actions the day after tomorrow. "I hope that the right envoy will be able to lend a hand." Yun Feibai bowed down.

"I'm just a carpentry gardener. How can I help you? Besides, what's in it for me? ”

Yun Feibai sighed, he knew that Wang Yuan had been away from the power dispute for a long time, and he was already prepared for the possibility that he would not cooperate.

He pulled a drawing from his arms.

"Your Excellency, the Sect Master has ordered me to hand over this drawing to you. He said, whether you help this favor or not, I have to put it in your hands. As he spoke, he presented it to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan took it, and then unfolded it to see, and it was unknown what Yunfei Bai painted on it. But judging from Wang Yuan's eyes, it can be seen that this drawing is very favored by Wang Yuan.

He watched greedily and cautiously, lest he miss a detail. Then he raised his head and touched his messy beard: "Luo Shen really said, whether I agree or not, give me this drawing?" ”

Obviously, some are not quite convinced.

Yun Feibai nodded: "The sect master did say so. However, the sect master also wants to ask the right envoy, don't you want to know if that person's daughter is really dead? After Yun Feibai finished speaking, he looked straight at Wang Yuan and asked a question from his soul.

Wang Yuan thought for a moment and fell into the past. Then chuckled. Luo ginseng, Luo ginseng, is really a last resort. first reminded himself with drawings that he had received so many drawings before, and it was not for nothing. Then let Yun Feibai mention that person and stir up the past. Even if Wang Yuan can deny his Luo ginseng account with a dead face, there is no way to be sorry for the old man.

Wang Yuan finally agreed to help. He lent Yunfei five wooden kites to help him get out of the shell of the golden cicada.

And now, these five wooden kites have all been destroyed, and he is really shameless to face Wang Yuan again. He quickly returned with his subordinates to resume his life. It's better to tell the sect master about this first.

Early the next morning, Yun Feibai and the others pretended to be ordinary people to enter the city, and then went to find Luo Shen who was resting in the inn.

When Yun Feibai saw Luo Shen, he asked the others to step back, and the two talked about last night's events alone.

"Are you saying that the girl's body is so badly decomposed that it is impossible to distinguish the birthmark?" Luo Shen asked. He sat down, his expression unwavering, as if everything was expected.

Yun Feibai nodded: "Yes, the corpse spots on the skin are serious, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish after being exposed to the wind and sun." But when his subordinates saw Yuan Zhongze's corpse, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. ”

Yun Feibai deliberately focused on the four words of biting his tongue and committing suicide. Luo Shen raised his head and looked at him: "I understand what you mean, if Yuan Zhongze bites his tongue and commits suicide, it actually means that he has not leaked his secret." That is to say, they did not find the princess, and the one hanging at the gate was not the princess. ”

Yun Feibai nodded solemnly.

Luo Shen stood up and looked out the window. Outside the window, there is a lot of traffic and people coming and going.

"And where would she be if she was alive?"

How difficult it must be to find someone in the middle of nowhere. Yun Feibai also looked out the window, feeling hopeless, but there was a glimmer of hope in the despair.

Leaving Luo Shen, Yun Feibai left alone again. In his house, he asked the shopkeeper to bring a basin of water, and then washed the wound with water. The warm water streaked across the wound, stinging slightly. He closed his eyes, frowned deeply, endured a wave, and continued to wash with water. Then take out the gold sore medicine and sprinkle it little by little on the cleaned wound. This time, he let out a muffled grunt from his throat.

He is extremely quiet, never bothering anyone, and there is only any pain hidden in the bottom of his heart. Like a bottomless fountain. Beneath the calm waters, you never know how many undercurrents there will be.

After finally completing the task, he was able to relax and let his hanging heart go down for a while. He was a little tired, his muscles ached, and he was exhausted.

Then he collapsed on the bed, and soon he was breathing evenly and falling asleep.

In the dream, he saw Yuan Zhongze, who he saw when he was young. At that time, he was in high spirits and was in charge of thousands of troops. The heroism of the horse struck him deeply.

"General! Stay! When he was young, Yun Feibai called Yuan Zhongze.

"It turned out to be the little son of Yunfu, what's the matter, what's the matter with General Ben?"

"General, Ah Fei wants to be a general like you in the future!" The young Yun Feibai's eyes flashed with innocence.

"Oh? Do you know that you have to kill a lot of people to become a general, do you dare to kill? Yuan Zhongze said to him jokingly.

"I, I, I dare!" Yun Feibai was really scared when he thought of the dead. I stammered a little when I spoke.

"Hahahaha! It's not enough to just kill. You have to know what you're killing for. Without a strong conviction, you will be lost in the killing. Remember, Ah Fei! ”

Ah Fei looked at the back of Yuan Zhongze leaving, and recalled his words in his heart.

Faith, huh?

And for whom will my sword be lifted?
