Chapter Seventy-Two
"After a few days of exploration, I found that Hongfu is much more than it seems. You two brothers must be careful in the future, especially when you meet me, you must not let the rest of the Hong Mansion find out. The little maid in Yuhuan must also be more natural, and can't let others see the clues. On his father's side, I plan to go and tell them about it in person in two days, this kind of thing can't be delayed, and the more you get to the back, the less likely the victim will be willing to come forward. And the creek ... The wedding date is coming. Li Xiaofeng can only make a desperate bet now, so he must tell the truth and let the two brothers trust him enough.
"Mr. Xiaofeng, does the Great Elder still not want to see you?" Niu Da actually wanted to say that this matter should not be rushed, and if you act in advance, it is likely that the efforts of the previous months will be wasted. But he understands Li Xiaofeng very well, after all, if Li Xiaoxi is his sister Niu at this moment, he can't wait any longer.
"I will take the initiative to find him, this will not be possible without his help."
"What the hell do you say happened to the Great Elder? He has been injured and retreated for more than ten years, and now the entire Hongfu is about to squeeze him down after he gets out of the customs, but he is indifferent? ”
"We don't know the reason for this, and maybe it was also for the sake of showing the world that he deliberately pretended to be inactive." Li Xiaofeng took a sip of tea, and had no choice but to comfort himself like this. The main thing is that he can't understand what happened to this great elder, even if he Li Zhiyan has been hollowed out by the Hong Mansion for more than ten years, he is the only one who builds a strong foundation. Needless to say, the people in the city are now complaining about the behavior of the Hong Mansion in recent years, and even some other elders and officials have been suppressed by the Hong Mansion and have long been willing to overthrow the rule of the Hong Mansion, isn't this the time for him, the Great Elder, to stand up.
I thought that after the Great Elder came out, most of the people in the city would finally be able to return to their previous lives of living and working in peace and contentment. As a result, the Great Elder didn't move at all, and stayed in the council hall all day, doing nothing. Li Shiyi felt that there must be something strange about this matter, so he had to meet with the Great Elder as soon as possible.
Three days later, after Li Xiaofeng reluctantly met Li Xiaoxi, he took advantage of the night to go to the conference hall.
"Xiaofeng, you're finally here." In the dark council hall, the words of the Great Elder's calm floated out empty.
"Great Elder, the kid has come to greet you!" Li Xiaofeng bowed in the direction of the voice, and with his current realm, he couldn't see the figure in the darkness.
"Good boy, don't you drag the article with the old man?"
"The kid just wants to be a layman now."
"Good! Come with the old man. ”
Li Xiaofeng's spiritual sense unfolded, and he finally felt the fluctuation of spiritual power in front of him, so he chased towards the suspension bridge by the river.
"The moonlight is so light tonight, it's perfect for us to meet."
Li Xiaofeng came to the suspension bridge and saw the great elder sitting on the stone pier next to the bridge pillar, who was holding a wine jar in one hand and patting the place next to him with the other, and motioned for Li Xiaofeng to sit down and talk. Li Xiaofeng just stood in front of the Great Elder and didn't speak, looking at this foundation-building powerhouse who had been in retreat for ten years.
"Haha, I'm getting bolder now. The old man is indeed injured now, but you still don't have to waste any effort to clean it up. After speaking, he took out the jade table and jade table from the space, motioned to Li Xiaofeng to sit down and chat, put the wine jar and wine bowl on the table, and sat down himself, holding a wine bowl to Li Xiaofeng and said:
"I forgot that you are a teacher now, it is better to be Yaya."
Li Xiaofeng also sat down and raised another wine bowl to touch with the Great Elder, and then drank the wine in the bowl together.
"Ten years have passed, and the old man has really become a loner, and even the news that 'Mr. Xiaofeng never drinks' can be mistaken." The Great Elder seemed unhurried, unhurried, as if he were just chatting with an old friend. After drinking, he filled himself and Li Xiaofeng with a bowl.
"Do you want the old man to talk alone? Are you reproaching the old man for ignoring the creek? ”
"The kid doesn't dare, he just doesn't understand."
"Think the old man is unkind? Think the old man is timid and afraid? ”
Li Xiaofeng did not deny or admit it, grabbed the wine bowl and drank it alone. He had prepared a lot of words before he came, but in the face of such an old man, he had no idea whether he should say it to him or not.
"Xiaoxi, the old man misses her very much. If he hadn't thought that if he hadn't rescued his uncle, he would have one more person to take care of her, and he wouldn't have ventured to fight the demon king alone. Hmph, the funny thing is that his uncle was rescued, but the old man couldn't even resist the demon king's move. The Demon King didn't come to slaughter the city in the first place, which was already the luck of our people. ”
"So you're scared?"
"I'm afraid" The Great Elder admitted directly, and took the wine bowl in front of him and killed it in one gulp.
Li Xiaofeng didn't let the Great Elder pour the wine himself this time, and took the initiative to pour wine for both of them after drying the wine in the bowl.
The Great Elder looked at Li Xiaofeng with interest and continued, "Have you seen the real strength gap? ”
"Nope"
"Want to try it?"
"Not available"
"Hahaha"
"You mean that you need the Hong Mansion now, and you are afraid that after the Hong Mansion is eliminated, the Guardian City will not be able to resist the beast attack?"
"Yes and no"
"Great Elder, the kid really doesn't have time to chat with you like this all the time."
"That's because you're in a hurry, how long have you been investigating the secrets of this city? How much do you know about Hongfu? ”
"I want to hear it" Li Xiaofeng's raised buttocks slowly put it down, so he had to continue to drink calmly with the Great Elder.
After another bowl of wine, the Great Elder's expression finally became a little more serious.
"Have you ever heard of a woman in the fog who didn't belong to this world?"
Of course, Li Xiaofeng had never heard of it, so he sat up straight and looked at the old man in front of him intently, waiting for him to continue.
"The old man only heard about it, but it was rudely confirmed not long ago.
Two hundred and five years ago, due to the attack of the Impreza Beast, everyone was forced to migrate, you must have heard of it.
At that time, the guard who was walking at the front of the line suddenly saw a white light flash under the fog ahead of him one night. After some searching, they found a man and a woman who had passed out in the outermost layer of the mist, and the great elder who was guarding the party at that time was the great-great-great-grandfather of Elder Li Yihong today. He felt that the two men were too delicate in both their clothing and appearance, so he rescued the two men out of curiosity, but the man among them was inexplicably choked that night.
This incident happened on the way to migrate and flee at that time, and the Great Elder of the guarding Fang deliberately concealed the news, so very few people knew about it. The old man's grandfather led the guardian party at that time only had his last breath left, and it was impossible to take into account what happened a few miles ago, just following the guard far behind the guard and ensuring that the few remaining guardians survived was enough for his old man to worry about.
After the Spring Festival, you don't need the old man to say that you should have read the information: the original defender can be regarded as a big victory and has become the current guardian, and the old man's family relied on the strength of his grandfather to stay in the guardian side and continue to serve as the great elder.
And that woman had already left this world when her grandfather found out some clues. If the person could not be found, everything about that woman became a secret that only Elder Hong's family knew the true situation. ”
"Leave? We don't use that word very often, is anyone sure that she left, not died in the forest? Li Xiaofeng took advantage of the gap between the Great Elder and the wine bowl to drink again, and he seemed to have vaguely guessed something.
"No one knows, but Elder Hong's family is sure that she is 'leaving'.
I remember that the old man said the word 'rough' when he first mentioned this matter.
Hehe, when the old man sat in the conference hall to check the records of the events in recent years on the day he left the customs, the city lord Li Forest suddenly appeared in front of the old man. It was really 'sudden', when the healing realm of the injury had improved, the old man only felt the sudden spiritual pressure in front of him, and he had already stepped on a sword and appeared in front of the old man.
The next moment, before the old man could stand up and ask him what he meant, the sword at Li Linlin's feet suddenly disappeared, and a sense of death came from near the old man's left ear. At that time, the situation allowed the old man to think, so he had to use all his strength to resist the flying sword. Immediately afterwards, the old man was punched out of the conference hall. See that big new hole in the wall? It is the proof of the old man's embarrassment at that time. ”
Li Zhiyan seems to have never suffered such a complete defeat, and he keeps drinking wine to adjust the waves in his heart.
"It's too dark to pay attention."
"You don't have to be so calm, it's going to be about you right away. You have to listen carefully to what the old man is going to say next. ”
At this time, it was already the second can of wine, and Li Xiaofeng was a little worried that this great elder who was not in a normal mood would just lie down and get drunk for a while.
"You'd better drink less, if there's anything kid can do, just ask."
"No hurry, no hurry!
Let's put it this way, Li Forest has just built a foundation now, but he has a flying sword that is agile and extremely fast. This sword is not as simple as our imperial object, it seems to be an independent individual, when the old man and Li Forest were fighting, it was clear that the other party was no longer able to parry, but the sword was able to maintain its initial speed and agility and has been attacking the old man. The ending is as you can see, the old man is not his opponent with the flying sword at all, and the injuries on his body are also due to the flying sword, so he and the cheeky old man of Hongfu dare not tear it.
The old man has a family of more than 300 people, two guardians, twenty-eight guardians, and there are more than ten juniors under the age of thirty in Zhou Tianjing, and if you give the old man another twenty years, the old man will let this city expand to the east for another ten miles! If you are lucky enough to surpass your grandfather, the old man even wants to lead the guards into the forest with us to expand the territory and live a prosperous life for all. The old man can't die, and the old man's family can't die. ”
"You haven't finished talking about that woman yet."
"Hmph, yes, that woman. Li Forest chased the old man all the way until he injured me in more than 30 places more than 30 miles outside the city, and then pointed at the old man's head again with a sword and told the old man: Li Yihong is the descendant of that woman, and he Li Linlin has to call that woman 'great-great-grandfather'.
The woman's name is Shu Jinfeng, and according to herself, she came from another world. Her world, though very different from ours, seems to know our world very well. In just ten years, she went from a person who didn't know how to cultivate, to a realm that we hadn't reached for hundreds of years, and began to guide the cultivation of the Hong family and left a few secret books on cultivation. Even the flying sword technique was left by the woman.
For so many years, the people of Elder Hong's family have kept this secret and have been studying the secret book left by Shu Jinfeng. It's a pity that their predecessors are too dull in their qualifications, and they almost lost their position as elders in the ups and downs. Until Li Linlin, a genius who is not much inferior to you, appears.
Do you know that Li Forest looked for the old man that day to make a condition to the old man: let the old man help them become the king in this forest!
