Chapter 134: A Lonely Crane
The wind blew the white curtain, and the candlelight on the spiritual table flickered and suddenly went out. Dugu Yihe held on to the hilt of his sword, facing the darkness, and suddenly felt very tired, he was already an old man after all. Drawing his sword and sheathing it, he walked out slowly, and there seemed to be a pair of shining eyes looking at him coldly in the darkness. When he looked up, he saw a man standing motionless under the poplar tree in the courtyard, dressed in white as snow.
Dugu Yihe's hand held the hilt of the sword again, and said sharply: "What person? ”
The man didn't answer, but asked, "Yan Duhe?" ”
Dugu Yihe's face suddenly tightened. The man in white had slowly come out of the darkness, standing in the moonlight, on his snow-white clothes, spotless, with no expression on his face, and a long sword with a strange form of black sheath on his back.
Dugu Yihe said movingly: "Ximen blowing snow? ”
Simon Blowing Snow said: "Yes." ”
"These two are ready for a duel, what do you think will happen if we don't stop it?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard walls.
"One dead and one wounded." Another voice came, and this voice was very familiar to Simon Blowing Snow.
"Who died and who was injured?" Lin Chen continued to ask.
"God knows" Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes.
Suddenly, there was an extra figure in the courtyard, and Lin Chen stretched his sleeves, "Does Ximen Blowing Snow want to learn other people's wheel warfare?" ”
Ximen Fuxue frowned, looked at Dugu Yihe, noticed his somewhat chaotic breathing and realized that the other party had gone through a hard battle, looked at Lin Chen strangely, stayed on the long sword on his waist for a moment, and in an instant, the person had disappeared, leaving only the words that had not disappeared into the air, "I will definitely find you to compete with the sword when I have time"
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, it was not a good errand to compete with Ximen Blowing Snow and swords, and he accidentally gave his life.
Dugu Yihe adjusted his internal breath and looked at Lin Chen, "The agreement is not this point. ”
Lin Chen shrugged, "Fortunately, I came early, otherwise some people would really not be able to see clearly, and they would save your life by the way." ”
"Oh, you think I'm going to lose?" Dugu Yihe said angrily.
Lin Chen smiled freely, "The other party has spent so much effort to calculate you, and it has cost you so much internal strength, do you think you can still win?" ”
Lin Chen walked directly into the hall, and Dugu Yihe also walked in, and was surprised to find that there were two more people in the hall, it was Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou.
Dugu Yihe sighed abruptly, "There are talented people in the country." ”
Lin Chen looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a smile, "What do you think?" ”
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't believe it, and sighed for a long time, "I didn't expect Huo Tianqing's martial arts to be so high." ”
"So why are they stopping you from competing?"
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes hesitated, and Hua Manlou spoke, "Either Shanxi Yan and their gang were assigned by them, or Huo Tianqing was hidden too deeply." ”
"No matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with Huo Tianqing," Lin Chen made a conclusion.
Dugu Yihe said, "You have worked so hard to find the old man to come over, just ask if you have anything." ”
"Looking for you?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Lin Chen in surprise, when did it happen.
Lin Chen grinned, and an Emei disciple walked in from the back of the hall, taking off the blindfold on his face, Lu Xiaofeng was shocked, this person was Su Shaoying.
Lu Xiaofeng knew why Lin Chen was sure that Su Shaoying did not die in the hands of Ximen Blowing Snow, because he had already entrusted Su Shaoying to go back to the mountain gate to invite Dugu Yihe, and with Dugu Yihe, he was undoubtedly safe.
Su Shaoying said directly, "Lin Daxia, I have already confirmed with my master that he is indeed Yan Duhe of the Jinpeng Dynasty back then, but the version that the family master said is different from what you told me." ”
Lin Chen smiled playfully, "Oh, how is it different?" ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "You, Yan Tieshan, and Huo Xiu were originally important ministers of the Jinpeng Dynasty?" ”
Dugu Yihe said: "Not bad." ”
His face was still very calm, and he didn't even have the slightest hint of guilt and repentance.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "But then you forgot your righteousness and swallowed up that wealth, as soon as you arrived in Middle-earth, you hid, and did not go to the thirteenth generation of the Great Golden Peng King as promised......"
Dugu Yihe suddenly interrupted him and said, "You are wrong. ”
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Wrong? ”
Dugu Yihe said: "It's a big mistake. ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's wrong? ”
"It's not us who broke the appointment, but the little prince who followed Shangguan Jin to die." Dugu Yihe's eyes were a little fluttering, as if he was recalling something, and he slowly spoke: "When the Jinpeng Dynasty fell, Yan Liben and Shangguan Mu and I were ordered to entrust Gu and bring the jewels and wealth of the inner library to Middle-earth, and together we looked for the little prince who fled with Shangguan Jin, but I didn't expect that he not only waited for us at the place we agreed, but also kept avoiding us, we searched for decades, but we didn't find him. ”
Lu Xiaofeng frowned, Dugu Yihe said that he had been looking for the King of the Golden Peng, so why did the King of the Golden Pengs say that he was looking for Dugu Yihe? "So, it's not that you're avoiding him, it's that he's avoiding you?"
Dugu Yihe said: "Not bad." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "You are the important ministers of his father Wang Tuogu, and you have a large amount of wealth that originally belonged to him, why should he hide from you?" Is there something wrong with him? ”
Dugu Yihe said coldly: "Because the money is not his, it belongs to the Jinpeng Dynasty." ”
"What's the difference?" Lu Xiaofeng asked with doubts.
"Not only are there differences, but they are very different." Dugu Yihe sneered: "If he inherits this wealth, he has to find a way to use this wealth to seize the lost royal power of the Jinpeng Dynasty, it is not an easy task, he will have to endure a lot of hardships, and even his life will be in danger." ”
Lu Xiaofeng agreed, being born in the emperor's family is sometimes not a lucky thing.
Dugu Yihe had a helpless sadness in his eyes, and said slowly: "It's a pity that our little prince is not a man of great talent. ”
"And what kind of person is he?" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask.
Dugu Yihe snorted coldly and looked at Lu Xiaofeng, with a mocking smile on his face: "You don't know what kind of person King Jinpeng is, he is a poet like Li Houzhu, and like Song Huizong, he is a painter, he has been known as the "Three Uniques of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting" since he was a child. He has no intention of returning to the country at all, otherwise he would not have hid from us for forty years. Such a person, his nature is naturally very tranquil, he may not care about the gains and losses of the throne, he just wants to be able to poetry and wine, and live a peaceful life, not to mention ......"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's more? ”
Dugu Yihe said: "Shangguan Jin's wealth is enough for them to spend a lifetime. ”
Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking, but the meaning of not speaking did not mean that he had believed it.
Huo Xiu said: "You don't believe it? ”
Lu Xiaofeng nodded.
Dugu Yihe said: "We used the wealth of the Jinpeng Dynasty to make a lot of money, but that was just to use this wealth to lobby you to be the important ministers of the dynasty and borrow troops to send troops, but if the little prince is not there, wouldn't we be nameless?" ”
