Chapter 149: Old Friends Reunited
readx;? Before he died, Xie Yang finally poured out the secret that he had buried in his heart, and the reason why he chose to tell Lu Yifan all this was probably because of his relative strangeness to Lu Yifan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, this kind of despicable past, in front of a person who is too familiar, Xie Yang can't open his mouth after all, but he doesn't want to leave with regrets like this, so he will say all this at a critical time, although he repeatedly told Lu Yifan not to tell this matter, but in fact, deep down in his heart, he hopes that Lu Yifan will make this matter public after his death, at least that can slightly alleviate the deep sins he has committed.
One wrong step, one wrong step! Xie Yang's lust for profit back then caused him to regret when he was dying today. All this is no wonder to others, because all this started from the wrong choice he made in front of Lan Shixun back then, and everything after that has become a foregone conclusion that no one can change. Life is not a game, many times there is only one chance to choose, once you make a mistake, you can only rest until death, and there is no chance to start again.
Reality is both beautiful and cruel, and the beauty lies in the fact that when you make the right choice, you can enjoy life to the fullest. And the cruelty often lies in this, when you suffer great pain because of your own wrong choices for a while, it can be said that the heavens should not be called the earth, even if you are a place of no return, the sky will never pity you, and the people of the world will only watch you suffer a little bit of pain to death, and finally become the talk of other people after dinner, that's all, there is no other value at all. Isn't the paleness of reality cruel enough?
Perhaps when Xie Yang was dying, the thing he thought about the most was that he had lived a lifetime, and he couldn't see what was most important to him after all. The things outside the body that life does not bring and death do not bring can never be exchanged for the memories of the past and the shame of the past.
At that time, Xie Yang would never have imagined today, and now he will never be able to go back to the past.
Xie Yang's mistake is a mistake that most people make, but the consequences are different for everyone. For Lu Yifan, he listened to the deathbed confession of a dying man, which was not only an unparalleled shock to his heart, but also a baptism from the heart.
When Xie Yang was about to take his last breath, the people he missed the most were his two sons, Xie Feng and Xie Yun. His only wish was to have the opportunity to sit in the courtyard with his two sons and enjoy the moon again.
It's a pity that he never had this chance again.
Xie Yang finally left, and when he was dying, he still remembered calling the names of Xie Feng, Xie Yun, Xie Zhen, Han Xiao and others, even after he took a breath, there was still a trace of deep guilt and remorse in his eyes......
"Squeak!"
With a soft sound, Xie Yang's door was gently opened by Lu Yifan, and outside the door, Liu Sandao and Mu Dan and the servants of the Xie family all looked at Lu Yifan with curiosity on their faces, but Lu Yifan's eyes were always staring at Xie Yun with a blank face, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Poof!"
"Daddy!"
After a while, Xie Yun finally read the result from Lu Yifan's eyes, when even his knees bent and then slammed heavily on the ground, with his heart-wrenching call, the tears that had been dried up in his red eyes flowed uncontrollably again, this time Xie Yun cried more fiercely than usual, and he was sad. Tears and snot flowed down his face, the heart-rending cry and suppressed emotions of a big man, and the slightly hoarse roar that erupted from his throat, made Lu Yifan and the others feel a burst of heartfelt sadness......
"City Lord ......" accompanied by Xie Yun's cry, and the remaining house slaves also knelt on the ground one after another, crying bitterly at Xie Yang's room like a mourner.
"Yifan...... My dad ...... Did my father leave any last words when he was dying......" Xie Yun asked as he held back his crying and kept choking.
Hearing Xie Yun's question, Lu Yifan's eyes first changed slightly, and then he pursed his lips to reveal a reluctant smile, and said softly: "Uncle Xie is most at ease with you, saying that after he leaves, you will have no relatives and no reason, and you are only alone in this world." I promise him that from today onwards, you Xie Yun and I, Lu Yifan, will live and die together, you will never be alone, and you and I will be brothers in the future. Uncle Xie is so tired, he wants to rest! And Wenyang City's revenge, we will avenge him, and when the time comes, we will carry Lou Yi's head to worship in front of Uncle Xie's spirit......"
"Daddy......" Before Lu Yifan's words could be finished, Xie Yun cried again and bowed heavily to Xie Yang's room.
Lu Yifan finally didn't tell Xie Yun about Xie Yang's past, although God gave Xie Yang the punishment he deserved, but Lu Yifan wanted to give Xie Yang a chance to forgive his sins. Since he had repented from the bottom of his heart when he was dying, that is, he put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the spot, Lu Yifan also reserved the last trace of dignity for him, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Xie Yang lose his reputation after his death, and Lu Yifan no longer planned to tell anyone about this matter.
Lu Yifan can only control himself, but the person who knows about this matter is far from Lu Yifan alone, at least there is one person who started all this back then, Lan Shixun.
In this way, Xie Yun knelt in front of Xie Yang's room all night to express his reluctance to his father.
At dawn the next day, Lu Yifan took Liu Sandao Mu Dan and a group of domestic slaves at the foot of Wenyang Mountain, Xie Zhen's tomb dug a simple grave again, and buried Xie Yang next to Xie Zhen and the Xie family's relatives, which can be regarded as a fallen leaf for Xie Yang.
All Xie Yang's hard work is this Wenyang City, so even if he dies, he will die here.
The current situation of Wenyang City is already clear at a glance, which is destined to have no grand funeral at all, and even Xie Yang's coffin was made by Liu Sandao overnight by chopping several door panels in the mansion, although it is rough but it is much better than a roll of straw mats, and the total number of people who came to bid farewell to Xie Yang is less than ten, including Lu Yifan, Mu Dan, and Liu Sandao.
The morning sun is still as bright as ever, the sky is high and the clouds are light, it seems that today seems to be a good weather, but it is a pity that under such good weather, Wenyang City is full of haze.
Early in the morning, Xie Yang's coffin had been buried, and Xie Yun personally wrote an inscription for Xie Yang with blood: 'The Tomb of Xie Yang, Marquis of Wenyang'.
"Daddy......" Xie Yun, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, knelt in front of Xie Yang's tomb, his eyes were red and muttered to himself, "The child is not filial, I couldn't guard you when you needed me the most!
Lu Yifan took Liu Sandao and Mu Dan to stand quietly behind Xie Yun, never saying a word, they knew that it would be futile to say more comforting words at this time, so it was better to let Xie Yun pour out the grief in his heart at one time.
"What should the rest of Wenyang City do?" Mu Dan asked Lu Yifan in a low voice, "Now that City Lord Xie has gone, Wenyang City is no longer there! What's more, there are too many corpses in the city now, which has led to the wanton spread of plague and disease, even those who are still alive now are mostly seriously ill, I'm afraid they won't survive for a few days, Wenyang City has no backbone, what should we do next?"
"Let's give these slaves of the Xie family some entanglement first, and let them leave first!" Lu Yifan replied with a frown, "As for the people in the city who are seriously ill, they can save one of them, and they really can't save them......"
"Kill it!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to finish speaking, Liu Sandao said bluntly, "If you don't kill and live, you will suffer, once the plague disease spreads on a large scale, it will probably harm other places, and it will really end badly at that time!" There is also Wenyang City, we can't stay for a long time, put a fire before leaving, and completely burn down this plague city, only in this way can we eradicate the plague and resentment here, you must know that here are millions of unjustly killed people gathered together, once these people's grievances are gathered into a soul, there will inevitably be a huge catastrophe in the holy area. ”
Although Liu Sandao's words were cruel, they also reminded Lu Yifan that he had not seen the matter of resentment condensing into a soul, and he had not been able to wipe out a Qilin King for millions of years, not to mention the millions of unjust souls here?
"Yifan!" Xie Yun suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Yifan with a solemn look, "I want to avenge the people of Wenyang City and my father!"
"I know! I don't need you to say it, I will never let Lou Zong go! Don't forget, you are not the only one who has a common enmity with Lou Zong!" Lu Yifan said with a serious expression, and there was a strong domineering spirit in his words, "If there is a chance, I will definitely let you kill Lou Yi with your own hands!"
"In my opinion, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, if only a few of us kill Lou Zong like this, I'm afraid that before we see Lou Yi, we will already die halfway!" Mu Dan reminded, "Didn't you say that there are thousands of disciples of Lou Zong?" we only have four people here, and I am only a third-turn soul master, I'm afraid I can't help too much, only the three of you really have combat power, although your cultivation is not weak, but being surrounded by thousands of people is not a joke." ”
"It's better for me to go and directly send a war letter to Lou Yi and take his dog's life one-on-one!" Liu Sandao said with a sneer, Liu Sandao's strange kung fu is unfathomable, and now coupled with the power of the refined Qilin Soul, the strength has reached an unpredictable level, maybe now even he doesn't know how strong he is, Liu Sandao urgently needs a strong person to verify his true ability.
"No!" Lu Yifan shook his head and said, "Uncle Xie's dying words are not unreasonable, just because Lou Zong may not have the courage to slaughter the city, Lou Yi must have a bigger backer behind him." ”
"A bigger backer, what kind of backer can make Lou Yi have such a big courage to slaughter the city?" Xie Yun asked with a solemn expression, "Although Wenyang City is remote, it is also a city with millions of people, wouldn't it be a blatant provocation to the Emperor to openly slaughter the city, what backer in the Holy Land can be so presumptuous, and not even take the majesty of the Emperor in his eyes?"
"There is one!" Hearing Xie Yun's words, Lu Yifan's eyes suddenly lit up, and what Xie Yun said happened to remind him, which also reminded him of the battle between the two factions that he had participated in in the Holy Soul Academy, "The one who wants to completely control the southwest land and dares to openly confront the emperor......"
"Yifan!"
Before Lu Yifan's words could be finished, suddenly an excited shout suddenly came from behind everyone, and after Lu Yifan heard this voice, the whole person was suddenly stunned, and there was a sudden roar in his mind, which was still calm and analyzed, and it became blank in an instant, and his dark eyes also appeared in an instant with an unprecedented excitement, because this voice was too familiar to him.
"Kihara!"
After a little stunned, Lu Yifan turned around suddenly, and an indescribable excitement instantly surged onto his face, and then his feet moved, and the whole person was like a gust of wind in an instant swept in front of the person who came, the person who came also had red eyes, his face was full of excitement, and he was burly and straight, this person is not Ji Yuan, who else has been separated from Lu Yifan for a long time?
And at the moment when Lu Yifan turned around and swept out, Liu Sandao also subconsciously followed suddenly, he didn't understand the situation yet, let alone Ji Yuan, so he was afraid that Ji Yuan, who suddenly appeared, would do anything to hurt Lu Yifan, so in the moment of his body swept out, the handle of the Moon Chopping Knife was also firmly grasped by him, as long as Ji Yuan moved slightly, Liu Sandao would not hesitate to kill him on the spot.
"Yifan!"
"Kihara!"
And the next scene made Liu Sandao's hanging heart completely relaxed, because at this moment, Lu Yifan and Ji Yuan were already hugging each other tightly, and their arms were like steel tongs hugging each other, although neither of them spoke much, but just this action was enough to see that the friendship between the two must be very deep.
"It's been half a year, I'm almost worried that you're going crazy......" Ji Yuan hugged Lu Yifan's body tightly, the tears in his eyes involuntarily swirled, but his mouth was angry and joyful, "When did you get out of danger? Why don't you come north to find us?"
"I'm sorry Ji Yuan!" Lu Yifan's eyes were also moist at the moment, and his throat couldn't help choking for a while, "I fled all the way south, nine of them died, and then I came to Xihuang Mountain......
Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Ji Yuan suddenly let go of Lu Yifan, grabbed Lu Yifan's shoulders tightly with both hands, and asked urgently with anticipation: "Yifan, have you found what you want?"
"En!" Lu Yifan nodded excitedly, "I found it, I found the goal of this trip to the southwest!"
"Great!" Ji Yuan didn't ask Lu Yifan much what he found, but after hearing Lu Yifan's affirmative answer, he couldn't help but cheer and jump, and gave Lu Yifan a tight bear hug again in excitement.
What is a friend? This is a friend! Ji Yuan doesn't need to know what Lu Yifan has found, he just needs to know a good result, and that's enough.
"I haven't slept well for a day in the past six months, I blame myself all the time, I regret it, I hate to kill myself, I shouldn't have abandoned you that day......"
"Ji Yuan, don't talk nonsense!" Without waiting for Ji Yuan's words to finish, Lu Yifan stopped on the spot and said, "I asked you to go, if you don't leave, we will all die under the bloodthirsty red spider! Isn't it good now? We are all alive and well! By the way, what about Ling'er? Where is Ling'er? How is she?"
Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Ji Yuan nodded with a smile, and then he slowly let go of Lu Yifan, and then turned his body slightly to the side, clearing a passage for Lu Yifan. At this moment, I saw that under the South City Gate five zhang away behind Ji Yuan, a curvaceous woman in a purple skirt robe was staring at Lu Yifan with a pair of big teary eyes, looking at Lu Yifan angrily, and in this anger, Lu Yifan could still feel a strong sense of excitement.
Lu Yifan bypassed Ji Yuan and walked towards Han Ling'er step by step, but at this moment, his face was not as excited as he was when he first saw Ji Yuan. The whole person seemed to be very calm, calm and even a little dazed, so he walked towards Han Ling'er step by step expressionlessly.
And at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yifan and Han Linger, Mu Dan looked at Han Ling'er with deep meaning in his eyes, and an indescribable look appeared between his eyebrows.
"Don't look at it, she is the most important woman in Yifan's heart!" I don't know when, Liu Sandao actually appeared next to Mu Dan and teased with a playful face.
"Nonsense!" Mu Dan glanced at Liu Sandao angrily, "What's my business? Besides, have you ever had someone you like?" ”
"Why? Can't you see that?" asked Liu Sandao with a smile.
"I can't see it!" Mu Dan replied stubbornly.
"Alas, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear!" After Liu Sandao said this in a strange manner, he left Mu Dan with a meaningful evil smile, and then walked away with graceful steps.
Looking at Lu Yifan again, when he finally walked in front of Han Ling'er, he suddenly stopped, he stood in front of Han Ling'er in a daze, as if he was smirking, but he didn't have too many expressions, there was no movement from beginning to end, and there was no greeting.
"Lu Yifan, you big bastard......" Han Ling'er snorted suddenly, "Bastard, you hurt Miss Ben to death...... I'm going to kill you......"
While scolding, Han Ling'er also stretched out her fist and smashed it hard into Lu Yifan's chest, but at the same time, in her crystal clear eyes, the tears that had already overflowed could not be suppressed.
In this way, Han Linger scolded, beaten, and cried...... And Lu Yifan stood there motionless, silently watching, listening, and suffering......
"Lu Yifan, you ......"
"Woo......"
Suddenly, just when Han Ling'er was beating and scolding, Lu Yifan suddenly moved, his movements were as violent and sudden as a storm, I saw him take a sudden step towards Han Ling'er, and his hands suddenly hugged Han Linger's weak and boneless body in his arms, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to put his lips on Han Linger's seductive red lips abruptly, between the two lips and teeth, a sense of splendor arose, the delicate softness from Han Linger's red lips made Lu Yifan's heart tremble suddenly, and the heat and urgency from Lu Yifan's snort also instantly dispelled Han Linger's brutal posture, and the whole person was instantly petrified on the spot, and the face that didn't know what to do unconsciously swelled with a shy crimson.
"Ling'er ......"
......
