Chapter 34 Where is life not to meet again
The innocent moon shining on Dongyi, which is made up of infinite architectural shadows, is not very dazzling, coupled with the brackish sea breeze blowing from the good harbor outside the city, so that the air is filled with a charming smell, just like the air-dried salt plum was thrown into a clear cup of Wuliangye, with a pale green color, the spicy killing intent is insidiously hidden in the fragrance.
The back door of a two-story house opened silently, and two people stacked on top of each other entered it like a gust of wind, and then the people behind the door immediately closed the door, and at the same time, several secret signals came from outside the house indicating that it was safe and nowhere to be found.
This is a secret stronghold of the Nanqing Supervision Institute stationed in Dongyi City, and the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop in charge of this stronghold has been waiting here tonight, but he didn't expect to wait for an injured person in the end. After he opened the door, he nervously clenched the dagger in his hand and sat motionless behind the back door, carefully watching the movements around the stronghold, so as to ensure that if something went wrong, he could call the police as soon as possible.
The moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard suddenly dimmed, and the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop looked up nervously, but he did not notice anything unusual, nor did he notice a shadow floating in through the gap in the wooden door on the second floor of the house.
Inside the house, Fan Xian put Wang Shisanlang on the bed, stared at the blue and white color of his face for a long time, then pried open his lips, looked at the tongue coating, and listened to the pulse and lung sounds, and his brows slowly wrinkled.
To be able to make the strong Thirteen Lang really dissipate his true qi and be paralyzed and weak, this poison must be a very terrifying thing. The time was too short, and Fan Xian still couldn't completely and accurately judge what kind of medicine Yun Zhilan, the first disciple of the Sword Mansion, gave Wang Shisanlang, but he had a general understanding of the general composition and type of action of this drug.
He thought for a moment, then took out the pouch from his bosom that never left him. He chose a slightly brown medicine blade from among them, crushed it with two fingers, stuffed it into Wang Shisanlang's lips, took half a pot of cold water from the table, and poured it into it raw.
The cold water wet the front of Wang Shisanlang's clothes. However, this brave and strong man who killed King Xihu Zuoxian and could still kill the general from the king's tent did not react at all, because he was already unconscious at this time.
A hint of chill flashed in Fan Xiandi's eyes, he pursed his dry lips, and pressed Wang Shisanlang's chest with one palm, stroking down like water waves, and sending his true qi slightly to help Wang Shisanlang swallow water and medicine.
Do it all. Fan Xiancai relaxed a little, and sat silently next to Wang Shisanlang, waiting for the medicinal power to start to work. He glanced at the shadow beside the door, silent, as if pondering another very important question.
The medicine gradually took effect, and beads of sweat began to ooze from Wang Shisanlang's forehead. Fan Xian knew that the time had come, so he crossed his knees on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to rely on the natural Tianyi Pure and True Qi of the Dao Law in his body. Heal his wounds.
In the season in the south of the Yangtze River, the meridians in Fan Xian's body were all broken, and he relied on the help of the begonia flowers to repair the meridians with the help of Tianyi exercises. Today, although Wang Shisanlang has been deeply poisoned, his meridians are a mess invaded by poison. I can faintly feel that there are thousands of holes on the earth's blood vessels, but at least it is much easier to treat than Fan Xian back then.
It is impossible for the medicine to completely drive away the poison in Thirteen Lang's body, but coupled with Fan Xian's healing true qi. is another result. Since Fei Jie left, Sean died, the master of poison in Dongyi City was missing, and now in this world, Fan Xian can be said to be the first expert in using poison to detoxify, although the medicine under Yun Zhilan is extremely powerful, but it is not difficult for him.
The shadow was silent at the door of the room waiting for the treatment of poison, and looked indifferently at Wang Shisanlang, whose face was getting redder and redder, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
I don't know how long it took, Wang Shisanlang finally opened his eyes and woke up, but the moment he woke up, he didn't look at Fan Xian, who had worked hard to save him, but oozed two chilling rays of light, stabbing directly at the middle-aged man in the shadow next to the door.
Wang Shisanlang didn't know who the middle-aged man was, he only knew that the other party was about forty years old, and he had seen him by chance in Qingzhou City, and knew that he was Fan Xian's cronies. Wang Shisanlang originally thought that this middle-aged man who couldn't see the height was a secret agent in the Supervision Academy, but when Fan Xian had not fainted on his back before, he clearly saw that in that moonlight, the sword that this middle-aged man stabbed at the fourth senior brother.
The secret study of the Sword House is never passed on, and only the thirteen disciples of the Sword House can practice the Sword of the Four Eyes!
"Who are you?" Wang Shisanlang asked in a hoarse voice as he stared at the shadow, though he was weak, but his gaze was extremely wary and complicated.
......
......
Fan Xian slowly withdrew his palms from Wang Shisanlang's back, his physical strength and true qi consumption was too great, and the sweat all over his body flowed like a pulp, and he was sweating at this moment. He heard Wang Shisanlang's question full of shock and nervousness, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect that this Thirteen Lang had escaped from the ghost gate at the beginning, and actually returned to the position of the sword house, and had a very strong hostility and concern towards the shadow.
The shadow lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on his toes, and he didn't answer Wang Shisanlang's question at all, maybe he felt bored, maybe he felt bored, maybe he felt disdainful.
He is the younger brother of Sigu Jian, and he is forced to ask by the young disciple of Sigu Jian, so he naturally feels quite ridiculous. And in the entire world, there are no more than four people who know his true identity, and before Fan Xian has permission, the shadow will not let anyone know the relationship between him and Jianlu.
It's just that this big secret, with the shadow being forced to shoot tonight, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of speculation.
Fan Xian moved down from behind the bed, sat next to Wang Shisanlang with his head down, buried his head between his shoulders, looking extremely tired, and the sweat on his body was filled with a foul smell.
Wang Shisanlang didn't thank him, just stared at the shadow like a tiger, as if if the shadow didn't give him an answer, even if he was weak at this time, even if he had just been caught by the brothers of the sword house with a vicious hand, he would have to shoot at the shadow in the name of the sword house.
Fan Xian buried his head, raised the index finger of his right hand and sniffed it gently, and his fingertips carried the sweat forced out of Wang Shisanlang's body, and there was a slight feeling of oil. He immediately identified the ingredients of this drug, and his heart chuckled, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. said: "It's so poisonous, Thirteen, your senior brother really loves you." β
One of these words
; The hand saved him from his own brother.
Fan Xian suddenly waved his hand. Extremely tired, he said, "This poison is too powerful. I don't have any medicine at hand, and I can't force it out with my true qi alone, and you will have to recuperate for at least a few days to recover. If there is anything to ask, I will ask again tomorrow when I wake up. β
Wang Shisanlang coughed twice. It seems that there is some unwillingness. But I felt that my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He fell onto the bed.
Fan Xian took out the thin needle on Wang Shisanlang's neck with his backhand, shook his head, sat up from the side of the bed, picked up half a pot of cold tea and poured it into his stomach. He sweated again. I feel more exhausted.
He pushed the door open. sat in the shadows under the eaves. The shadow came to his side, too.
"I'm glad you came. After a long silence. Fan Xian said softly: "Otherwise, I really don't know if I can come back alive." β
I thought of the four cold swords in the sword house with nine grades. Thinking of the seemingly unrestrained but actually dangerous situation just now, Fan Xian's heart was full of fear and coldness, the heroes of the world really can't be underestimated, and they fight alone. Although I am never afraid of people now. But being besieged by several Jiupin is really quite terrifying. Especially when he couldn't bear to leave Wang Shisanlang. If it weren't for the shadow suddenly appearing in that moonlight, who knows what the fate would be today.
At the ice stall that sold saury, Fan Xian's instructions to Shadow were to contact the Supervision Institute to ambush nails in the interior of Dongyi City, and he went to the Dimei Garden alone. But he didn't expect the shadow to complete the task so quickly and return to his own place. Saved his life.
"Before dealing with the six affairs. I am first and foremost a shadow. The shadow said coldly beside him.
Fan Xian was silent for a moment, knowing what the other party meant by this, he used to be Chen Pingping's shadow, so he would never leave Chen Pingping's side. Later, Chen Pingping ordered him to come to protect himself, and he became his inseparable shadow.
Even if Fan Xian was a little arrogant and let the shadow handle the affairs of the hospital, and for a short time to leave his side, the shadow would still feel strongly uneasy. chose to find Fan Xian as quickly as possible - his style of acting is to secretly follow Fan Xiandi and protect him at all times.
The sea breeze is blowing. Fan Xian's sweat made him even colder, making him shudder. He is now a powerhouse in the ninth grade, and he has long been immune to cold and heat, but at this moment, he shivered, which is enough to prove the coldness in his heart at this time.
The cold in his heart was because of the internal collapse of the Sword Mansion, Yun Zhilan actually dared to attack Wang Shisanlang, and he was so ruthless, and there were so many Sword Mansion masters standing beside him, could it be said that the dying Sword had lost control of the Sword Mansion?
The cold was also because of the dangerous situation before, and the sweat all over his body was not only caused by forcing poison for Wang Shisanlang, but also because of the four terrifying earth swords, Fan Xian was shocked.
And there was something more fearful in his heart, this matter weighed on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe, and fear occupied the whole mind and body.
It was obvious that the shadow knew what he was afraid of at this moment, so he also looked solemn as never before, and sat beside him, not saying a word.
At this time, Fan Xian thought of the beginning of the Jiangnan many years ago, under the eaves outside the Shazhou Inn, he and the world's number one assassin sat side by side, although the conversation was not pleasant, but it was a lot of benefits. Sitting next to each other again today, both of them were in a very heavy mood.
"Why didn't you kill that Sword Master just now?" Fan Xiandi's voice had already become dry because of nervousness.
"The other party has four nine grades, and we can pass by with one move, relying on surprise and using sword intent to shock the other party's mind. The shadow closed his eyes and said silently: "Even so, I can only seriously injure one person, and you didn't really hurt the third child...... If they come to their senses, we may be able to escape, but we still won't be able to kill them all. β
"I have to admit that my idiot brother is the best in the world in terms of his ability to teach his disciples. β
This sentence of the shadow land expounds a fact that is known to the whole world, among the four great masters, Ye Liuyun does not accept disciples, Emperor Qing probably has such a strange turning disciple as Fan Xian, and although there are many disciples in the Bitter Lotus Land Tianyi, there are only one who has really cultivated countless top masters, and there are only twelve Jiupin under the Sword Lu Sect. That's an eye-popping amount.
Fan Xian was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "I've been very careful for the past three years. Once the Sigu Sword is used, people will inevitably die under the sword. I have never let the living see my sword moves. β
"I've never been alive under my sword. The shadow stated the facts indifferently. This is the number one assassin in the world, but he has a sword. There has never been a survivor.
"What about Yun Zhilan?" Fan Xian mentioned a name. Three years ago in Jiangnan, Shadow led six swordsmen to hunt down and kill the disciples of Jianlu led by Yun Zhilan all over the world, and forced the dark forces of Dongyi City out of Suzhou and Hangzhou. It has made great contributions to Fan Xian's rectification of the order in the south of the Yangtze River.
"When I killed the Clouds and Clouds, I didn't use the original sword. The shadow was silent for a moment, and then answered.
Fan Xian nodded slightly. Even if the shadow is next to the West Lake fishing boat downstairs outside the Hangzhou building. Assault on the clouds. It only seriously injured the other party, and it seems that the shadow is also worried that he will not be able to kill Yun Zhilan, so he leaves a back hand in the technique so as not to expose his identity.
"So to speak. The whole world. Only these five tonight. Not six...... If you add Thirteen Lang. That's seven people. Probably know the secret. Fan Xian lowered his head and thought: "The problem is. We haven't been able to extinguish these people, when did you say that Sigu Jian would guess that you were his brother who survived?"
After the shadow was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Maybe a long time ago, he knew that the shadow of the Supervision Yuan was me. β
As soon as this statement came out. Fan Xian fell into a helpless calm. Knowing what he is most afraid of, he may have to go east because of this trip. And it becomes a fact.
He looked up at the bright moon. He bowed his head and thought of his hometown, and muttered, "It would be great if Sigu Sword could keep it a secret for us." β
The shadow looked at him and didn't say anything. But the banter can't be hidden.
Fan Xian suddenly sighed, looked at the shadow and asked with a smile, "It feels like assassinating His Majesty the Emperor in the Hanging Temple that day."
The shadow pondered for a moment, then said, "It feels good. β
Fan Xian shrugged. Didn't say anything more.
The day of the assassination of the Hanging Temple. His Majesty drank it in one gulp, and the assassin was the younger brother of Dongyi City's Sigu Jian who ran away from home since he was a child. Now everyone knows it. Emperor Qing is a great master. You can't go wrong with your vision. If the four Gu Sword passes through the disciples tonight to return. guessed that the shadow was his younger brother, and the news was transmitted back to Nanqing......
The Sixth Division of the Supervision Yuan hosted the shadow assassination of Emperor Qing! Can Chen Pingping still sit in a wheelchair properly This is what Fan Xian and Shadow are most afraid of, the two of them. For that lonely old man, they all have the deepest love from the heart, and when they come back to their senses at this time, they regret that the previous moment revealed a flaw. One exposes the biggest secret flaw of the Inspectorate.
"Maybe things aren't as bad as we thought. Fan Xian suddenly said calmly: "Within tomorrow." I'm going to see the sword. Talk to him about business. Let's talk about it together. β
As Fan Xian said. This matter may not necessarily affect Nanqing. It's just that he's carefully preparing. And this trip to Dongyi City is a serious matter, and he needs to deal with it carefully, if this matter is handled well. Maybe everything will be solved in the wind.
"Are we friends?" Fan Xian drank gruel while looking at Wang Shisanlang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a pale face and an injury that had not yet healed.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Shisanlang nodded.
Fan Xian put down the porridge bowl and said very seriously: "If you don't want to lose my friend, then don't say a word about everything about last night, from today onwards, don't ask." β
Wang Shisanlang nodded again. Although Fan Xian asked him not to ask, but about what happened in Dongyi City yesterday and a few days ago, he had to ask clearly, he tapped the table with his fingertips, motioned to Shisanlang to nourish his stomach with some rice porridge, and said after considering his words: "I dared to go to the Meipu Courtyard alone to find you yesterday, I didn't think that Yun Zhilan would send someone to keep an eye on that place, but you must also know that I asked the Supervision Yuan to send some people to keep an eye on your residence." β
"The biggest problem is that I always thought that with your strength, even if something tragic happened inside the Sword Mansion, you should have the ability to notify my subordinates, or leave me some traces. Fan Xian stared at Wang Shisanlang's eyes, "I was almost surrounded and killed last night." This problem is caused by you. I don't understand how you can be trapped in a house and so defeated. β
Hearing this, a trace of pain flashed in Wang Shisanlang's eyes, it seemed that the senior brothers within the sect secretly attacked him, making this young master with a clear heart feel unbearable pain.
Half an hour later. Shisanro said in a hoarse voice, "Three days ago. The senior brother invited me to drink, saying that the land is the future of Dongyi City. The senior brother at the table was very excited. I was a little embarrassed, because I knew that what the senior brother said and did was right. β
"But what you did was arranged by the sword. There's no way you can resist. Fan Xian intercepted his words.
Wang Shisanlang was silent for a moment and then said: "Yes, if it weren't for the order of the master, I would rather hold a sword to resist the Nanqing army." I don't want to be like this. Become a spurned character for the brothers. β
"It doesn't feel good to be a traitor, right?" the corners of Fan Xian's lips curled slightly. said with a smile, but thought of himself in his heart.
Wang Shisanlang didn't quite understand the meaning of the word traitor. Shaking his head, he said: "I believe that the master is also thinking about the future of Dongyi City and thousands of people. And no one knows what the master will do. β
He paused. Then he said: "There are only me and the senior brother at the banquet, you know. Before I get out of customs. Although I have never met my senior brother. But in the past two years, our brother and sister have a very good relationship, and I even treat him as my own biological brother. β
Fan Xian sneered: "So he gave you poisonous wine to drink, and you also drank it in one gulp." β
A look of pain flashed in Wang Shisanlang's eyes. said in a trembling voice: "Senior brother is not such a treacherous villain, I know that he poisoned me. It's for Dongyi City, he doesn't want you Qingren to see Shizun through my local channels. β
"You're a man...... It's a bit too naΓ―ve. Fan Xian sighed and said, "This world." It's not you who kill. It is men who kill you. Your kind of character. Taking charge of the sword house is tantamount to a fool's dream. β
"Senior brother doesn't want to kill me, he just wants to kill you. Breaking a possible agreement. Wang Shisanlang suddenly became angry, stared at Fan Xian and said.
Fan Xian's heart was slightly stunned, and suddenly softened, and said gently: "I believe this." I've checked the poison. Although it will cause harm to your earthly body, as long as you don't act rashly. Not fatal. Yun Zhilan and those senior brothers of Jianlu. I still have a hint of kindness to you. β
Fan Xian's words were actually just to comfort Wang Shisanlang. Maybe even he doesn't want to see the purest of the young generation of masters in the world being blinded by these filthy things.
"The clouds are trapped by you. The intention was to trap and kill Nan Qinglai's liaison, and the previous spies reported that the sword house was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to enter, which was obvious. The people from Northern Qi have already entered the Sword House. Begin to try to convince you, Master Di. β
Fan Xian said: "I want to know what the land is now." The Northern Qi came to the big man. Who exactly. β
"I don't know. Wang Shisanlang said very simply: "This matter has been arranged by the senior brother from the beginning. And I've been poisoned these days. I've been locked up in the courtyard all the time. β
"I want to see the sword. Is there any way?" Fan Xian stared at him.
Wang Shisanlang's expression was a little lonely, and he said, "I haven't seen my master for ten days, and I don't know how his health is." I can't hold it yet. β
Fan Xian was extremely annoyed when he heard that he didn't answer the question at all, but he also knew that there was no way, and said with a sneer: "The big man in the Northern Qi Land...... I really think I can't guess who it is? Although the defense of the Sword House is strict, it is impossible for Yun Zhilan to cover the sky with one hand, if you walk to the Sword House openly and remain neutral, will the second senior brother who has always remained neutral watch the others kill you in front of the Sword Lu Land?"
Wang Shisanlang looked at him like a ghost and said, "Last night, you were almost killed by your senior brothers, are you going to die today?"
Fan Xian was silent, he had to meet this perverse temperament before Northern Qi persuaded Si Gu Jian
Division, but also related to the life of one person who is most concerned about him, if he is afraid that many people will die in this world.
"You are the thirteenth disciple of the Sword Mansion, there are always some ways in Dongyi City, I will send the people from the Supervision Yuan to help you, if I can't enter the Sword Mansion today...... But I must also meet that great man of Northern Qi. A rather unpredictable and strange look flashed in Fan Xiandi's eyes, as if he was extremely sure about how to deal with that Northern Qi bigwig.
......
......
A young man with a pale face stepped down from the carriage with great difficulty, looking at the rows of grass huts in the distance. Countless complex emotions rose in his eyes. I straightened my clothes and walked over there.
Responsible for the defense of the various sword disciples. Look at this person's expression. There was a look of shock on their faces. Some subconsciously reached to their waists and grasped the hilt of their swords. But no one dared to strike first.
I don't know who it was, but I called in a somewhat dry voice: "Little uncle." Master has an order. Master Zu is in retreat. Do not disturb. β
Gradually, people gathered around. surrounded Wang Shisanlang in the middle. All the disciples of the Earth Sword House know it. Deal with the affairs of the next door, everyone in the clouds. Before this little uncle who was most favored by the grandfather. A lot of problems have happened.
Last night, Uncle Xiao was rescued. Everyone is wondering if it is a master of Nanqinglai. But no one thought of it. At this time, the sun was in the sky, and Uncle Xiao actually walked to the door of the sword house like this.
Everyone was nervous. I don't know if I should take him down right away. Or how it should be.
Wang Shisanlang took a deep breath. The face is calm, but there is infinite persistence. In this way, he walked towards the Jianlu step by step, and then he saw a person who wanted to see the earth, and bowed and saluted, "Second Senior Brother." I want to see the master. β
The second sword of Jianlu was not involved in this matter. He looked at Wang Shisanlang with a look of pity. He whispered, "Senior brother." Let's go back. β
......
......
Just when there was a mess in front of the Sword House. Behind the sword house, there is a quiet courtyard outside. A man slipped silently down the hill and shadows. At this time, all the attention of the disciples of the Sword House was attracted by the brave appearance of the Earth King Thirteen Lang. But no one noticed.
This quiet courtyard is where the Sword House is used to entertain the most distinguished guests, but that guest is in the Sword House at this time. Therefore, the defense force of the small courtyard is not very strong. The figure slipped through with ease.
Along the way, he escaped those masters brought by the Northern Qi side. Fan Xian touched the backyard like a tanuki. Smelling the faint fragrance that will be remembered for a lifetime, I came to a room, floated in, and looked at the yellow applique that was facing the mirror. The woman who was resentful of the palace maid couldn't help laughing.
He walked behind the woman. Leaned down and blew softly into her ear. He said lightly: "Lili, do you miss a man?"
The woman was shocked. Looking at the charming and resentful in the mirror, he is extremely beautiful. And the one next to the face is unforgettable. Xiumei is not inferior to her own appearance, and she is so shocked that she can't say a word at all.
Little Fan-sama!
The owner of that face hadn't seen him for several years, why did he appear in Dongyi so unknowingly, next to Jianlu, and beside himself!
The manager turned around and opened his eyes in horror. looked at Fan Xian, who appeared beside him like a ghost. opened his mouth. But it was forcibly suppressed and did not make a sound. The streamer was gentle in his eyes. But it was full of shock.
Fan Xian was very satisfied with this woman's performance, smiled slightly, and said softly: "It seems that he really spoils you." Such a big thing. I actually took you with me, is it because I am afraid that you will give him a green hat?"
The manager clutched the corners of his sleeves, trembling slightly, but his lips were pursed very tightly, and there was a slight horror in his eyes. She and Fan Xian are old acquaintances. When I traveled all the way north and met in prison, I didn't know how gentle Xiao Fan was. In fact, he is a ruthless character. At this time, the other party is in danger, as long as he makes a slight move, he is afraid that the other party will not care about the slightest difference at all, and destroy the flowers.
Fan Xian gently grabbed her chin, the tentacles were slippery, and his thoughts drifted to the carriage that went north to the ground at this moment, his heart fluctuated slightly, and he whispered in his mouth: "Do you want us to sew a green hat for your family demon emperor?"
The manager was frightened for a while, but she pursed her lips and laughed, she was the first beauty in Kyoto back then, and now she has become the concubine of Northern Qi, deeply favored by Emperor Qi, and infected by endless luxury, and it is even more incomprehensible.
Fan Xian also smiled, it was really convenient to deal with such a well-informed woman. He smiled and raised his hand in invitation, and the manager smiled bitterly, put his hand in his big hand, and walked behind the curtain.
Si Lili was too familiar with his style of acting, and knew that in this case, he couldn't be careless, but he just had to borrow his own room and wait for someone he had always wanted to wait. But I don't know why, when her hand was put into Fan Xian's warm hand, the woman actually sighed long in her heart, as if she had fulfilled her long-cherished wish for several years, and she was extremely satisfied. At this moment, she didn't even think that after staying for a while, the person would encounter any danger.
......
......
It was a long, perhaps short, time, when there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and an extremely young man, in the midst of many guards, entered the room. This man's eyebrows are like double swords, he doesn't know where to point, his eyes are like the sea and he doesn't know the depth and geometry, he is wearing a plain clothes, with a bright yellow ribbon tied around his waist.
"Your Majesty, Miss Richard is not here, and may have gone to play in the garden. A eunuch pretending to be a servant shrieked.
The young man, perhaps with some trouble in his mind, hummed softly, and sat down in his chair, and habitually put his feet up, and the eunuch had already taken off his boots.
Fan Xian quietly peeked at this scene behind the curtain, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he thought slightly, after a few years, this little emperor is really still used to sitting with his legs open, his feet are still so stinky and quite big, where is there a little bit of a woman...... It's really underwhelming.
