Chapter 67: Shang Huaitong (II)
Bai Sibing waved his hand: "Let's go, and you should also pay attention not to delay the business of Wubi." ”
The two walked back, and saw the girl on the other side of the lake leaning on the pavilion pillar from a distance, Pei Li's heart moved, and asked: "Speaking of which, I heard that Qijiao Cave can have the momentum it has today, because it relies on the good and the bad to accept the gangs, and then rely on them to exploit the people." Does the court care about this kind of thing? ”
Bai Sibing shook his head and said, "If the Qijiao Cave doesn't accept the gang, will the gang disappear?" ”
“.”
"In fact, after being included in Qijiao Cave, because of the name and surname, the state government is better to manage." Bai Sibing sighed, "Of course, gangs are urban evils after all, and it is not a good thing to make them rightful." However, this is the consideration of the Xianrentai, if they feel that it is really inappropriate, they will issue an official document, Qijiao-"
"What's wrong with Qijiao?" Pei Lizheng lowered his head and listened attentively, and asked subconsciously.
When he looked up, he saw that Bai Sibing had already stopped his mouth and looked ahead with a smile.
Pei Ye looked down - under the willow tree that had been washed by the rain, a dark black coat stood there, wiping his hands with an elegant light green handkerchief.
But it's Shang Huaitong.
In front of him was a slender woman, whose face could not be seen clearly from the angle, but her posture was quite feminine. The hair is like a cloud, and the curve of the chin exposed sideways is soft and thin as white fat.
She was wearing a long dress like blue clouds, which seemed to melt into the blue color after the rain. And under a closer look, this long dress has a lot of intentions, densely woven and finely hooked, although elegant, but also exquisite, so that this figure transcends the simple and monotonous color of the grass and willows around it, and becomes the most eye-catching brushstroke.
Shang Huaitong wiped his hands and seemed to say something. The woman smiled softly, stretched out a slender hand, took back the crumpled handkerchief, and lowered her head to hook her fingers and fold it.
At this time, he seemed to notice the gaze of the two, Shang Huaitong looked sideways, and when he saw Bai Sibing, a smile appeared on his deep face.
Bai Sibing nodded, and Pei Ye also bowed his head to him, and received a faint smile in return.
At this time, the woman in front of him also noticed the shift in the attention of the person in front of him, and turned her head to look over.
Pei Li was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened.
Of course, because of the beauty of her green eyebrows and red lips, black pupils and nose, but more because he has seen this face.
- I've never seen it so beautiful.
Qi Zhaohua.
Completely different from the casino riverside, the woman now seems to have broken the chrysalis and turned into a butterfly.
She was also stunned for a moment, first showed a smile to Bai Sibing, and when she withdrew her gaze, she also nodded slightly to Pei Li.
The distance between the two parties was not close, and they didn't get close to chat, Pei Ye followed Bai Sibing past them.
"Do you recognize? That's Shang Huaitong. "Go far, Bai Sibing said," Bowang was the first person in the young martial arts cultivators of this generation. ”
"I've seen it twice." Pei Ye said truthfully, "I heard that he wants to enter the Dao Enlightenment Society. ”
"Yes, it should be a sure thing. And the state government has another higher expectation for him - within ten years, he will enter the list. ”
"Hmm......" Pei Ye nodded, and suddenly remembered, "Do we have any characters in Bowangzhou who are on the Crane Register?" ”
"There is no crane list, and there is no list...... Actually, it should be. Bai Sibing smiled helplessly, "But no." ”
"The last one was twenty-six years ago, and the Emerald Feather Sword Gate came out." Bai Sibing said, without waiting for the young man to ask, he continued to explain, "He won the third rank in the Shenjing martial arts, and later went to the north, and then climbed to the top of more than 700 people. ”
"And later?"
"And then he died on the battlefield." Bai Sibing sighed lightly, "It's not that I'm biased because of my affinity, but I do think that only Cuiyu can occasionally cultivate this kind of talent." Baizhu can't do it, Qijiao...... Let's take a look at Shang Huaitong. ”
"Is it because they don't have martial arts like "Jade Collection"?"
"It's just a small part. can be on the list, relying on the original martial arts of the three factions. Bai Sibing shook his head and said, "More importantly, the two families of Baizhu Qijiao ...... There is no deep tradition of cultivating sword materials for hundreds of years - let me ask you, how many times have you met Shang Huaitong, and what is your impression of him? ”
Pei Ye thought about it for a moment.
"He is free and easy, and he is well-founded...... Born in a big faction, he can also help the servants decorate the venue, like a hero. He said.
Bai Sibing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
"How?" Pei liquid eccentricity.
"I'm asking you about your impression of his 'sword', not about his personality - isn't there a saying that 'seeing a sword is like seeing a person, and watching a person is like watching a sword'?"
I haven't heard that." Pei Liquid Road.
Then he thought about it for a moment and realized that it was indeed interesting.
This is certainly not an unbreakable theorem, but it does indicate a law that if a swordsman reaches a certain depth on the path of swordsmanship, the person's temperament will melt into the sword, and the temperament of the swordsmanship learned will also affect the person's character.
Pei Ye thought back to the swords of Ming, Zhu, and Yue, and couldn't help but nod slowly.
But when he put this law on Shang Huaitong, he found that there was some resistance - according to the impression, the sword of this Qijiao descendant should have a feeling of favoring Gao Yang, but when this judgment was added to Shang Huaitong, Pei Li's own sword intuition felt very twisted.
"His sword should be. The thorough, painful kind. Pei Ye frowned and hesitated, "Also. Free? And. Maybe a little bit of ruthlessness? ”
Bai Sibing laughed: "It seems that this is really not groundless. ”
Pei Ye looked at the old man who stopped talking after sighing, and said with some curiosity: "Am I right?" ”
"What's right, isn't it?" The old man smiled, "I'm not testing you, everyone has different opinions on things, and many times there is no right or wrong." ”
Pei Ye keenly grasped: "Then what do you think of Shang Huaitong?" ”
"Me?"
"Hmm."
"I don't know much about swords, so I can only talk about his personality, do you want to hear it?"
"Of course."
Bai Sibing smiled, then turned his head and looked at Pei Li. His smile retracted, his face became serious, and his voice was slow and serious: "In my opinion, Shang Huaitong is narrow-minded, narrow-minded, vicious, hypocritical and cunning. If you have any conflict with him, you better sleep with one eye open! ”
“.”
Pei Ye was stunned and speechless.
"Go ahead." Suddenly, the clouds and rain fell, and the old man smiled again, his face was gentle, just like his neutral attitude towards the world, as if the sharp words just now were just a joke, "Ethereal Qing is going to wait." ”
The old man raised his hand and pointed, and Li Yiqing was indeed in front.
——————————
"How's the talk? Do you have a plan in mind? The two of them returned to the Catching Moon Tower under the shade of the willows, and the girl asked.
"Hmm." Pei Ye nodded, still thinking about the old man's merciless words just now, "Lord Bai, he talked to me about Shang Huaitong." ”
"Oh?"
Pei Ye organized the language, and was about to speak, when suddenly two Tsing Yi walked over to them.
They were carrying toils and talking: "I heard that you saw the murderer?" ”
"yes, he asked me to deliver the wine at that time!" One Tsing Yi said with palpitations, "I felt a little strange at the time."
"Alas, I thought it was just a fight, who would have thought that he would dare to really kill someone." Another sighed.
Pei Ye paused suddenly.
He turned around and reached out to grab one of the arms: "Two, what did you say?" ”
"Ah, guest." The man saluted, "Don't you know - did Lord Zhao seal the building just now to search for the murderer, but before the person was caught, the blockade was withdrawn, but it turned out that the murderer had already fled and killed someone after leaving the garden!" ”
“.” Pei Li suspected that his memory was out of order, but fortunately, he quickly grasped the key, "Where did you say the dead man?" ”
"Just outside the garden, we're going to deliver water for the adults to use for autopsy."
Pei Ye and Li Yiqing glanced at each other: "Take us there." ”
In fact, it doesn't matter if you bring it or not, as long as you go out of the Capture Moon Tower from the east, you can immediately see some gathered people.
The two went out, and on the shore of the grassy lake outside Bowang Garden, several officials were gathered together.
"Nothing to test! Lord Zhao said, it was clearly the murderer's doing, he has been killing people these days, which is not a strange death! A servant was pressing his knife and shouted, "Carry it back to the yamen, and when you are free, you can cut it out." ”
Pei Ye glanced and saw that Zhao Fu and most of the officials had already left, leaving only these few people to deal with the aftermath, judging from this situation, Zhao Fu seemed to really think that there was nothing to investigate in this case.
But Pei Ye clearly knew that Yang Yan had been in the rockery all along, how could he come out to kill someone?
Curious and curious, he stepped forward, but saw a carriage tied under a tree.
The corpse was leaning on the wheels of the carriage.
Pei Ye walked over and froze.
His death was indeed rather bizarre, with no scars on his body, and the expression on his face was a mixture of anger and fear. He must have been very emotional when he died, for all the blood had poured up his skull, and he had been dead for nearly a quarter of an hour, and his face was still flushed.
There was only one fatal wound, a feather digging deep into his forehead.
Zheng Dong.
It's Zheng Dong.
Pei Ye took two deep breaths, as if he wanted to spit out the sudden chill in his heart.
He looked at the corpse quietly, and suddenly remembered Bai Yuliang again, and remembered the scabbard he threw in the girl's mouth.
Because an insult is worth such a slap with flying teeth and swollen mouth.
When this slap ends, this matter will also end, and it will not leave a trace in the man's heart.
His straightforwardness is true, as is his brightness and generosity.
The person who has leaked lips and teeth from now on must still be alive and well.
Pei Ye dragged back the thoughts that had drifted in the past, and returned to the scene in front of him, and at this time he realized that up to this point, it was the first time he had seen this Qijiao heir.
Shang Huaitong.
At the same time, he felt the body of the girl who followed him stiffen and trembled slightly.
"Don't work for you." The girl's voice was eerily calm, "Zheng Dong is a subordinate of Cuiyumen, this is a matter of Cuiyumen." ”
——————————
on the carriage.
Pei Li, Yang Yan, Zhang Junxue, Li Yiqing.
The atmosphere was calm.
If these four people seem cheerful, then Li Yiqing must account for eighty percent of the credit, but at this time, the girl is just leaning against the wall and looking out the window, and she is the most silent of the few.
Pei Li had never seen her so completely low, the girl has always been very good at adjusting her emotions, every time she touched the troubled and sad place, she only lowered her eyebrows slightly, and turned her head to smile lightly.
But this time she did seem to be overwhelmed by some heavy and violent emotions.
Pei Li tried to talk to her several times, but the girl just shook her head slightly, and so all the way back to the Changdao Martial Arts Hall, Li Yiqing jumped out of the car in silence, turned around and walked towards the west courtyard.
"Ethereal!" Pei Ye chased after her and stopped the girl before she closed the door.
The girl looked up at him.
"It's okay Pei Li, I haven't lost my fighting spirit." Li Yiqing said in a low voice, "I will still do what needs to be done, and I will be more determined." ”
"Yes, what you have to do will be successful." Pei Ye looked at her seriously, "I promise." ”
"I believe it." Li Yiqing smiled reluctantly, "These things can't defeat me." ”
"What about you." Pei Li looked at her with some concern.
"I just wanted to take a break."
“.”
"Because. It brought up something I had been reluctant to face. The girl whispered, "I've been thinking about it on the way back. How can we avenge them? ”
“.”
The girl showed a sad smile: "I can't seem to do this, I can't do it in ten years. Ten years from now, it may not be possible to do so. ”
"It's okay, I'll be alone for a while." Li Yiqing tried to squeeze out a smile at him, probably meaning "rest assured", and then slowly closed the courtyard door.
————————
Pei Ye came back and sat down on the stone, Yang Yan poked him lightly, and whispered, "What's wrong with her?" ”
Pei Ye glanced at him: "A friend was killed." ”
“.”
"What would you do if it were you?" Pei Li asked.
"Murder pays for life, revenge."
"Can't beat it?"
"Then practice hard, and then go when you can fight."
"Then what if the other party's talent is not worse than yours, and the future is bright, the future entry will be far better than yours?"
“.” These words made Yang Yan's face freeze.
His head remained motionless, and he didn't know what he thought, and the look on his face showed a complicated and strange heaviness, and for a long time, he shivered.
"As long as it's a person. can be killed. He said slowly, his voice hoarse, "A momentary entry does not mean a lifetime of entry, Master said that no matter how strong a master is, there will be countless flaws in his life, I only need to catch a few of them."
"Yes. Moreover, everyone is not alone in the world. Pei Ye looked at the sky and added, "If you can't beat it, you can also ask your friends to help." ”
"I don't have such a great friend."
"Friends are going to get better all the time."
Yang Yan glanced up at him.
But Pei Ye was no longer talking to him, and said to himself: "So, there is no revenge that cannot be avenged." ”
He looked at the horizon, and a distant dark cloud seemed to be drifting towards him again.
You can't prevaricate with a 'it's okay'. I'm not going to let it go this time - what if you die?
Some memories came to his mind, and Pei Ye frowned fiercely. Zheng Dong's sudden strange death hit his brainstrings, and the fog on his friend's body suddenly gave him a sense of insecurity.
He stood up.
Yang Yan was slightly surprised: "Where are you going?" Let's talk about the old thief first, shall we? ”
“.” Pei Ye didn't answer, he was turning his head to look at the corner of the courtyard, the tall woman was not wielding the guillotine this time, she was sharpening it with a gravel.
"Sorry, it's late, I have a lot of friends."
