Chapter 197 [Don't Be Afraid] (II)
Old Yutou, who had always thought that he had excellent ear power, didn't hear any movement, raised his binoculars, and looked in the direction Wu Jie pointed, but saw a motorcycle carrying two people speeding towards their location.
After Lao Yutou confirmed that someone had arrived, Yan Tuojiang and Song Changjin immediately raised their weapons.
Wu Jie raised his hand and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, your own people." ”
When Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin appeared in front of them, they believed Wu Jie's judgment, and they also understood a truth, a person who loses his eyes does not mean that you can see farther than him.
Yan Tuojiang is the most gratifying of all, after returning to freedom, he not only found his wife, but also got the news of his wife's pregnancy, and now seeing his niece return safely, he feels that wealth and power seem to be less important.
Although Ma Yongqing returned to Yan Tuojiang's side, Yan Tianxin didn't have a good face for her, men will always be more tolerant of women than women, but Yan Tianxin didn't have time to pursue her past mistakes, and quietly called her uncle aside and told him what she had learned.
Wu Jie was still as silent as in the past, but after saying hello to Luo Lie, he sat alone on the sandy slope not far away, not knowing whether he was resting or meditating.
Luo Lie, Song Changjin, and Lao Yutou met for the first time, and politely greeted them, Song Changjin was only thinking about how to escape, and was thinking about how to talk to Yan Tuojiang about it, and the greeting was obviously perfunctory, but Luo Lie felt that this person was a little kind, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere.
After Yan Tuojiang and Yan Tianxin talked for a while, he took the initiative to walk over to Wu Jie and sat down beside Wu Jie: "Fourth brother, this time it's thanks to you." ”
Wu Jie's attitude towards him was a little cold: "If it weren't for their help, I wouldn't have the ability to save you." ”
Yan Tuojiang smiled and said, "It's all because I don't know people well, and I was used by Ma Yongping's villain." ”
Wu Jie said: "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, not to mention that you are not a hero." ”
Yan Tuojiang has always been arrogant and manic, but in front of Wu Jie, he was very calm, even if Wu Jie mocked him in public, he was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "I am not a hero, you are." ”
Wu Jie said: "What are you going to do?"
Yan Tuojiang turned around and glanced at Ma Yongqing, who was standing alone, and then lowered his voice and said: "I don't have any plans, after this incident, I have already looked down on everything, I just want to find a place where no one knows me, and have a peaceful birthday in a few days." He didn't look directly at Wu Jie when he said this, although he knew that Wu Jie was blind, he was still worried about seeing the disdainful expression on his face.
Wu Jie said: "You have changed. ”
"People change, and you're not what you used to be. ”
Wu Jie said: "Think you can avoid all this by leaving? Who will clean up the mess of the new Manchu camp?"
Yan Tuojiang pursed his lips, and after several struggles, he spoke: "She is pregnant with our flesh and blood, and I must bear this responsibility." ”
Wu Jie already knew about Ma Yongqing's pregnancy when she kidnapped her, and he had expected Yan Tuojiang's retreat, and said in a deep voice: "Take responsibility? You need to bear more than just this responsibility, right?" ”
Yan Tuojiang involuntarily clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "It's just a legend." ”
Wu Jie said: "Is it a legend that you should know why you left your hometown in the first place?"
The expression on Yan Tuojiang's face gradually turned cold: "That's my family matter!"
Wu Jie said: "Why does Lianyunzhai have been inherited for more than 800 years, and why does every owner of the village mysteriously disappear in the end?"
Yan Tuojiang glared at Wu Jie angrily, and he tried his best to control his anger: "I repeat, the matter of Lianyunzhai has nothing to do with outsiders!"
Wu Jie said: "You are also an outsider!"
Yan Tuojiang was stunned by his words.
Wu Jie said: "The reason why you left in the first place was not because Lianyunzhai couldn't tolerate you, but because you were afraid of taking on the responsibilities that should belong to you." ”
Yan Tuojiang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You shut up for me!" There are some things that he will never dare to turn back to face, Wu Jie is right, the reason why he chose to leave his hometown in the first place was because he was unwilling to take the responsibility given to him by his father and protect their sacred mountain and holy area.
Wu Jie was not intimidated by his momentum, and still said calmly: "This time, your clansmen have come all the way here, not only to defect to you, but also to escort Princess Longyu's body back to their hometown. There have been a lot of twists and turns. Speaking of this, he paused and said: "I don't know the specific details, Yan Tianxin knows more, but I only know that the boss has other plans, in order to get the body of Princess Longyu, he does not hesitate to betray the people who trust him." ”
Yan Tuojiang shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel some distracting thoughts caused by Wu Jie's words, he stood up: "I don't want to care about your business, I don't want to ask, you just have to do what you want to do." ”
Yan Tuojiang finally decided to leave, this decision was obviously unexpected by Yan Tianxin, Yan Tianxin also deduced that the conversation between Wu Jie and Yan Tuojiang did not play any role, she was not reconciled, and still tried to persuade this uncle who had been reunited for a long time.
Yan Tuojiang looked at Yan Tianxin, whose eyes were full of anticipation, sighed from the bottom of his heart, and said in a low voice: "Tianxin, you don't have to say anything, I understand." ”
Yan Tianxin said: "I must say, you don't understand, too many things have happened during the time you left Lianyunzhai, my father died, before he died, he was possessed by the black evil and lost his mind, I thought my grandfather was dead, but he has always taken the seniors of the clan to silently guard in the Nine Secret Realm." ”
Yan Tuojiang's heart was held by an invisible hand, and he felt that his breathing became difficult: "People can't be resurrected after death, and we can't do anything about it." ”
Yan Tianxin said: "Grandpa handed me a parchment scroll before he died, but I didn't really understand the meaning, and later handed the parchment scroll to Mr. Zhuo...... But he betrayed my trust. ”
Yan Tuojiang sighed and said: "Tianxin, some things are destined by God, not human beings can change them, do you really believe that a princess of Western Xia who has been dead for many years can be resurrected?"
Yan Tianxin said: "No matter what, I have to try, I want to recover her body, maybe this is the only chance to turn things around." ”
Yan Tuojiang said: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to help you?"
Yan Tianxin said: "I want to find the Western Summer Temple, Mr. Zhuo should go there, only by finding him can I find the body of Princess Longyu, and it is possible to find out the truth of all this." ”
Yan Tuojiang stared at Yan Tianxin and found that there were too many familiar marks on his niece's body, which came from their family, in his memory, his father had always put the honor of the entire family first, without any selfishness, which made him extremely strict in treating his children, and his brother was the same, they could sacrifice everything for the sake of the clan.
Yan Tuojiang remembered that the reason why he chose to leave was because he couldn't agree with their ideas, everyone is equal, why should he be responsible for the fate of others?
Yan Tianxin had already received the answer from her uncle's indifferent gaze, and her expression began to become disappointed.
Yan Tuojiang said: "I can't help you." His eyes fell on Song Changjin, who had been hesitating not far away, and said: "That person may have some methods, these tunnels are all dug by him, and you can't find a person who is more familiar with this area than him." ”
Song Changjin had already sensed that something was wrong from Yan Tuojiang's gaze, and he wanted to turn around to avoid the other party's eyes, but Yan Tuojiang beckoned to him at this time and said, "Old Song, come here." ”
Song Changjin didn't want to go over from the bottom of his heart, but he was afraid of Yan Tuojiang, so he had to walk over to him hard, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I also have something to look for Dashuai, you see that there is no more business for me here, I am about to say goodbye to you." ”
Yan Tuojiang said: "Don't worry, my niece is looking for the Xixia Temple, and I bother you to show them the way." ”
Song Changjin immediately said with a bitter face: "It's not that I'm reluctant, but I really don't know what the Western Summer Temple is, Dashuai, don't embarrass me." ”
Yan Tuojiang said: "The imperial tombs and palace ruins in this area, which one have you not explored?"
Song Changjin sighed and said, "Dashuai, I'm not an archaeologist, do you really know everything about me?"
Yan Tuojiang sneered: "Archaeologists may not understand, but the precious son of Touch Jin Sect Master Luo Ziyang naturally understands." ”
Song Changjin was exposed by him in public, and his expression suddenly looked embarrassed. When Luo Lie heard the name Luo Ziyang, he couldn't help but be stunned, his surname was Luo, and his grandfather Luo Gongquan called himself Ziyang Jushi, and with his understanding of his grandfather's deeds during his lifetime, he knew that his grandfather had been engaged in the business of touching gold and robbing tombs, and later mentioned this when he saw his uncle Luo Xingmu. There are very few people in the Touching Gold Sect who can be called a grandmaster, and there is only one grandmaster with the surname Luo, so it won't be so coincidental in this world, right?
Luo Lie looked at Song Changjin, in fact, he felt a little familiar when he first saw this person, after listening to Yan Tuojiang's words, he suddenly woke up, Song Changjin's facial contours were like grandpa at all, no wonder he felt that he had seen him somewhere from the beginning, but Luo Xingmu said again, several of their brothers have all suffered, could it be that there are still people among the Luo brothers who have escaped the catastrophe and are still living in this world?
Luo Lie is no longer the ignorant teenager he used to be, after experiencing the Luo Xingmu incident, he understands that even relatives may not be able to trust him wholeheartedly, not to mention that he now knows his true life experience, his biological father is Shen Wangwu, in other words, he has no blood relationship with the Luo family.
Yan Tuojiang did not change his mind and left with Ma Yongqing first.
