Chapter 82: It's Really You
Di Xiuxiu didn't misunderstand anything, but he felt that Ding Cong's thoughts were too jumpy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Ding Cong suddenly asked at Ele, "Do you know the origin of your master's name?"
After being stunned for a moment, he replied: "I heard the senior brother talk about it when he was chatting, because the master's original mantra was why, so you gave him the name Wei He. ”
After saying this, Wei He's mouth on the side opened wide, he couldn't say a word, and looked at him in a daze. Several other people looked at Ding Cong's apprentice strangely, not understanding why he had such an expression.
"Well, have any of you ever asked him what his name is?" Ding Cong suddenly pointed at Wei He and asked, "From the time you entered the house until now, has anyone thought of asking what is the name of this disciple of mine?"
Ding Cong's tone was a little cold, and the smile on his face was replaced by an angry face, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, if he didn't give some color, they wouldn't know what it meant to respect the teacher. It can't be that it's been too long since it's been passed back, why have you forgotten even this little politeness?
As soon as Ding Cong's words fell, Di Xiuxiu stood up and walked to Wei He's side, ready to tell his identity, but Ding Cong stopped her words with a wave of his hand. His eyes were still cold, looking at Ele and the others.
Although he felt that Ding Cong's current anger was fake, but if he thought about it carefully, he was indeed wrong, and he didn't care who this person was after entering the house. No matter how familiar they are with Ding Cong, there should still be such basic etiquette as greetings, not to mention that they haven't even said who they are. Since he knew that he was wrong, he quickly got up and hugged his fist at Wei He, and said in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm waiting, I should ask for advice first." ”
He pointed at Ren Sheng and said, "His name is Ren Sheng, and he is my third junior brother. Then he patted Weichen beside him and said, "Fifth junior brother, also junior brother, Weichen." ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Di Xiuxiu and said, "Fourth senior sister, Di Xiuxiu, the only girl among our senior brothers." Then he saluted Wei He again before saying, "I am in the second ranking, and there is a senior brother above, Schenk." We are all Ding Cong's apprentices and grandchildren, and our family teacher Wei He. ”
At this time, Wei He had already been blinded, and he didn't know what he meant at all, only that these people were Wei He's apprentices, and Wei He was also the master's apprentice, with the same name as himself. Could it be that Wei He is himself? But when did he accept an apprentice? After seeing that he had introduced everyone, he didn't know what to think, so he actually went up and gave a salute, and then stumbled and said, "I, I, I ......."
I didn't even say anything about the three of myself, and sweat broke down on my nervous forehead. Ding Cong secretly scolded useless things in his heart, but his face still remained gloomy. And Di Xiuxiu wanted to risk being blamed by Ding Cong to relieve him, but he didn't expect Wei He to suddenly say a word, which made Di Xiuxiu, Ele, Ren Sheng, and Weichen all stunned.
"I, Wei He, was given by the master speechlessly. After Wei He said this, his whole body was soaked, and he didn't know how shocked several people what he said.
Di Xiuxiu walked up to him, took his hand and looked at his face carefully, tears were rolling in her eyes, but she forcibly controlled it and didn't let it flow. Le Yu and Ren Sheng reacted with a typical shock, and looked at Wei He motionlessly. Weichen walked directly in front of Wei He, looked back and forth, left and right, and reached out to pull the clothes on his body.
Wei He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move at all, so he let Weichen tear off his shirt, revealing strong muscles, and Weichen looked at his chest very carefully, and finally saw a shallow cross-shaped scar on his chest, and the intersection point was just on the Jizhong acupoint. At this time, Weichen hugged Wei He with a shocked expression, and shouted with excitement on his face: "Stinky old man, I didn't expect you to be handsome when you were young!"
With Weichen's shouting, Ele and Ren Sheng both walked over, they all knew that Weichen was Wei He's favorite disciple, with Weichen's familiarity with Wei He, since he said yes, it must be.
Among the four, only Di Xiuxiu was uneasy, she peeked at Ding Cong, and looked at Wei He in front of her very seriously, and the tears finally did not hold back and rolled down.
Weichen hugged Wei He and jumped and jumped, screaming incoherently, and he cried silently with Di Xiuxiu, although Ren Sheng also had tears in his eyes, he just smiled and grabbed Wei He's arm tightly.
Wei He could only be there like a wooden man now, watching the four familiar and unfamiliar people cry and laugh, grab and hug him. Wei He, who was at a loss, turned his head to look at the master, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, hoping that the master would help him get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
Ding Cong didn't expect that when they confirmed Wei He's identity, they would show such a sincere look, and they were also moved in their hearts, and they were deeply moved by their master-apprentice friendship. When he saw Wei He's helpless and pitiful eyes, he was embarrassed to let him continue to suffer, and said softly: "I know it, now do you worship this master or not?"
Then he looked at Di Xiuxiu and said, "Don't say anything now, follow them to apprentice for a while." ”
Di Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly, and then gently wiped away the tears in her eyes with a nod.
The four of them rearranged their clothes, walked up to Wei He, and stood in a row to bow down to him, shouting to see the master. Wei He hurriedly helped them up one by one for a while, and kept saying that he didn't dare to be.
Ding Cong said to Wei He dissatisfiedly: "Don't dare to do anything, they were originally your apprentices, and now it's just a little early to accept them." ”
Hearing this, Wei He didn't dare to say anything, just smiled awkwardly.
Later, Ding Cong asked Wei He to arrange a place for several of them to live, but in the end Di Xiuxiu was left behind.
After Wei He took the three of them away, Ding Congcai said to Di Xiuxiu: "This matter is very complicated, I can't understand it for a while, if you want to know the details, come to me after a while." You have to work hard tonight, and I will plant a soul seed for Shaodian in a while, and you will have to take care of Shaodian after that. ”
Di Xiuxiu nodded to make it clear, and then she protected Ding Cong on the side. Not long after, Ding Cong's face showed a slight tiredness, stood up from Shaodian's side, and said to Di Xiuxiu: "There may be some changes tonight, you live here temporarily, I'll go see Xuanyuan first." ”
He had to tell Xuanyuan about Shaodian, after all, it was father and son, as for Ning'er, Ding Cong wanted to ask Xuanyuan's opinion, after all, she was just Shaodian's apprentice on the surface.
............
"Master, is it okay?" An excited voice resounded in the house full of fire, Jiang Shinian looked at his master Lao Li with anticipation.
The bonfire in the house flickered, reflecting Lao Li's extremely charming face, which really had a beautiful feeling. It's just that at this moment, Lao Li's face was covered with frost, and there was a swarthy thing floating in the almost colorless flame in his hand.
After another moment, the swarthy thing began to slowly change shape, one end becoming more and more pointed, and the other end was a little thicker, bending and extending from the sharp end, and the whole looked like the broken horn. And that swarthy thing was the piece of dark iron that Ding Cong had sent.
After the shape of the dark iron stabilized, Lao Li collected the flames, threw the broken corner of the dark iron in his hand to Jiang Shinian, and said in his mouth: "I'll help you get here, as for how to get it, figure it out yourself." ”
Jiang Shinian also knows the temper of the master, and it is not easy to help himself figure this out today, so he will find a way to do the rest by himself. After walking out of the house with Xuantie, Jiang Shinian called Yanju to his side and asked him to send the broken horn to Xuanyuan.
Yan Ju looked at the beautiful Emperor Yan, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to nod his head. Before leaving, Jiang Shinian instructed: "This is a private matter, and it has nothing to do with the two clans. By the way, in the end, I will be able to bring a message, and I will say Hanquan. Go ahead. ”
Yan Ju listened to it inexplicably, and knew that he shouldn't inquire about these things, so he turned around and disappeared into the night after giving a salute.
............
"Does the high priest mean to temporarily settle my father in the old capital?" asked Regulus, a little surprised.
Ding Cong didn't speak, just nodded.
Xuanyuan hesitated and said, "Since it is the high priest's arrangement, of course there is no problem, but if Ning'er is concerned, I think it is better to tell her." After all, her father also spoils her quite much, and she has been worried about her father's safety. ”
Since Xuanyuan said that there was no problem, of course Ding Cong would not say anything more, so he agreed. Just as he was about to go out, Xuanyuan stopped Ding Cong again, and asked with a flushed face, "High Priest, am I really inferior to Jiang Shinian?"
Ding Cong was not surprised, some time ago, Xuanyuan went to the appointment every night, and he knew it in his heart, until the two of them started, he hid in the dark and watched secretly. Of course, Ding Cong was not the only one hiding in the shadows, Lao Li was also watching from the sidelines, afraid that something would happen to the two of them. In the end, Xuanyuan's slash frightened Lao Li almost jumped over to block it, and was finally dragged by Ding Cong who came from the other side.
Lao Li looked at Ding Cong's eyes and turned red, and he didn't speak out loud for fear of being discovered by the two, but asked angrily: "You dare to teach such a dangerous move?"
Of course, Ding Cong knew that Lao Li was angry out of worry, worried that Jiang Shinian would not avoid it in time and encounter an accident. But I can't explain anything specifically now, so I have to pick up good things and suppress the evil breath in Lao Li's heart.
finally agreed to pay compensation for the land cession, and took out a bunch of refining materials and gave them to Lao Li, which brought him a satisfied smile. However, Jiang Shinian's broken corner was also Lao Li's request that Ding Cong must find a way to repair it, otherwise he would break off diplomatic relations. Ding Cong had no choice but to agree with a smile, and finally said that as long as Lao Li got the materials for repairing the broken corners, he would help repair them at any time.
Today, Xuanyuan suddenly asked this question, and Ding Cong knew that his self-confidence was a little frustrated. This is a good thing for Ding Cong, just an opportunity for him to reflect on what he has said and done over the years, those overly arrogant decisions, and those reckless and arbitrary actions. Although the entire clan did not have any major problems because of these things, Ding Cong knew that once this kind of psychology fermented for a long time, it would become an excessive conceit, which would affect the personality, and it was very likely that the tribe would eventually be dragged into hell.
Ding Cong didn't continue to attack Xuanyuan's confidence, but said lightly: "You two are both clan leaders, but Jiang Shinian was taken away to practice when he was young, and in addition to practicing every day, he kept practicing in actual combat, and he was just rich in experience." And the current Yanbu is all through his own efforts step by step, so many things are better than you. ”
Saying that, Ding Cong looked at Xuanyuan, who was dejected, and continued: "Shaodian was too fond of you back then, and before you studied with me, you didn't recognize where your strengths were and where your weaknesses were. ”
Xuanyuan didn't feel it in his heart, what Ding Cong said was the truth, the tribe he took over was originally the foundation laid by his father, and he was nothing more than expanding on this basis, and he didn't understand how the tribe developed at the beginning. Now that I think about it carefully, Jiang Shinian has come to this day step by step, developing a small tribe surnamed Jiang into a behemoth that is enough to compete with him, and the distance he has experienced can be compared to himself.
When Xuanyuan was blaming himself, he heard Ding Cong say again: "But it's nothing, what you lack will eventually be made up, just remember to find the reason in the failure, and then correct it, next time you will naturally not make a mistake on the same issue." ”
Ding Cong's words made Xuanyuan feel a little better, so he got up and saluted Ding Cong, and a smile appeared on his face.
When Ding Cong was about to go out again, he was stopped by Xuanyuan again, and this time Xuanyuan asked if Jiang Shinian's broken corner could be repaired.
Ding Cong didn't know it in his own heart, of course he wouldn't say it directly, but just pretended to be profound: "Jiang Shinian is a person who is endowed with fire by heaven, his physique is already special, and this broken angle may affect his cultivation speed in the future, but this broken horn, well, let me go back and think about it." ”
After speaking, Ding Cong ignored Xuanyuan's voice anymore, and walked out of the house quickly, not paying attention to Ning Er standing at the door. The two of them went out one by one, and just bumped into one of them, Ding Cong was fine, but Ning Er was knocked and flew backwards. Fortunately, Ding Cong's eyes were quick, and he took a step closer and passed his arm through Ning Er's Xiaoman's waist and hugged him.
At this time, Xuanyuan also walked to the door, just in time to see the intimate movements of the two, and then took a step back and said, "I'm going to rest, the high priest has something to say tomorrow." ”
He closed the door so chicly, turned around and walked into the house, ignoring the embarrassed two people at all.
When Xuanyuan entered the house, he kept thinking in his heart, the high priest should have done it on purpose, otherwise how could he collide with people with his cultivation, it seems that the high priest is interested in Ning'er, should I arrange this matter as soon as possible? Or do I wait until my father wakes up to make plans? Hmm, it's better to talk to Ning'er as soon as possible, or .......
If Ding Cong knew that Xuanyuan was thinking of this idea, he would probably have slapped it a long time ago.
It's just that such an embarrassing appearance of the two didn't last long before a black shadow broke the deadlock.
