"Uncle, Mr. Nangong. The thirteen men bowed their hands in greeting, and the girl, who had insisted on supporting the man who had been seriously injured earlier, separated from him when they entered the house.

"No need to be polite. "The old man should answer.

"You're just recovering from a serious injury, so let's sit after a long journey. Chaoge, you come to take care of your senior brother. Here, Nangong Yan had already pushed a chair out, and at the same time said to the girl.

The girl was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly went to help her brother sit down.

"Thank you, Uncle and Mr. Nangong. The man who was called Xiaoshi's butler spoke first for the seriously injured man.

"My own brother, why bother to say thank you. Nangong Yan returned.

"There are at least more than 300 people up and down the Shifu, and there are only thirteen of you left. The old man quickly looked at everyone and sighed.

When they heard this, they remembered the unspeakable calamity, and sorrow came from it.

In the first month, the Daoyi League in the hinterland of Yudu in the southwest, Shifu, was suddenly attacked by several forces, and asked for help from the Daoyi League and the gangs from all over the world in Kyushu.

However, when Nangong Yan's reinforcements arrived, Shifu was already dead and wounded, and the ruins were broken, and the gangs from all over Kyushu who came to the rescue told Shifu that it had been destroyed and that there was no survivor.

After the news was sent back to the chrysanthemum garden, Nangong Yan stayed in Chongqing to explore for a few days, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally he found the person who escaped from Shifu, in order to avoid the leakage of the rumors, he passed a secret order to return to the chrysanthemum garden, and the meaning of the secret order was only the word "see back". Therefore, the information that the old man learned was only the news of the destruction of Shifu, and as for the turning point, he could only know when he saw Nangong Yan.

Today, nearly two months have passed since the fall of Shifu, and I finally look forward to returning Nangong Yan and this group.

"Nangong, you can talk about it carefully. Seeing the grief of everyone, the old man knew that what he was going to say now would tear open the wounds that they had forgotten for the time being, and his heart trembled, and a trace of unbearability flashed. But this thought is fleeting, this is the case with the rivers and lakes, he has to let these young people in front of him know that no matter how painful things happen, they must have the courage to face it, what has happened is a fait accompli, there is no change, immersed in the grief of the past will not help, it will only be self-mistaken, what they can do, what they need to do, should be to change themselves, so that they have the ability to prevent similar tragedies from happening.

"It was the eighth day of the first month, coinciding with the birthday of Shi Xin's weak crown, Shifu held a birthday banquet to celebrate, and also invited the surrounding neighbors. Many forces should have planned for Shifu, taking advantage of the fact that Shifu was busy with happy events for days, and there was some relaxation, and they gathered secretly that night, and entered Shifu when the banquet was in full swing, Shifu hurriedly responded to the enemy, and insisted on two days and two nights, and the reinforcements could not be rescued, and they were destroyed. ”

"There are three hundred and nineteen people in the Shifu, regardless of men, women and children, three hundred and five people died in the mansion, and the lord of the Shifu, Shi Xin, and his five sons did not survive. A total of 133 people from the surrounding villagers who came to Shifu to celebrate that night also died in Shifu. ”

"Three days later, I found these thirteen brothers in the dense forest on the outskirts of Yudu, as well as the tombstone of Shi Xin's first master, Long Yao. A total of 439 people were killed in the battle of Shifu, and only 13 escaped with their lives. Nangong Yan's words shocked Jiang Yichen, the fall of Shifu had already been heard on Xishan Island, however, those forces were so mad that they slaughtered more than 400 people!

"In this way, it is precisely through the confusion of the one hundred and thirty-three people, as well as Long Yao's desperate protection, that the thirteen people in front of us can stand in front of us alive?" the old man asked, and the number of casualties was beyond his expectations.

"So to speak. Nangong Yan returned.

"Have you found out who are involved?" asked the old man.

"The twelve gates of Tiansha, the wind, fire, thunder and lightning are four evil, the three halls of the red-clothed sect are dispatched, these two parties should be the main force, the ghost of the Netherworld Sect, and the Tushi Gang Chang Kun have also appeared, it should be a strategy, and some small sects should take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters, as I expected, the imperial court has played a vital position in it. Nangong Yan said.

"Yes, although the forces of all parties are not as powerful as fire and water, they are also suspicious of each other and wary of each other. It is not surprising that after the collapse of Shifu, the news released by the government was only 'a conflict of interest caused by the conflict of interests, which will not be studied in detail', vague and generalized, and fooled the world. Shi Xin is still a confidant of the imperial court in the end. The old man analyzed.

"The details, give me some time, I will figure them out one by one, and I will give Shi Fu and everyone present an explanation! Nangong Yan said.

The old man agreed.

"Shi Zhonghuo, Shi Xin's old department when he was in the army, he was originally a man in the army, Shi Xin also took him back to Shifu after returning to his hometown, and then handled the affairs of the house with the big and small affairs of Shifu with the big housekeeper, which was very effective. "The first one was the man with gray sideburns.

"Guan Dadao, who is also Shi Xin's old department, was originally the main general in the army, and returned to Shifu with Shi Xin. made a good knife technique, quite the spirit of Guan Yunchang back then, and lived up to his name. "The second is the man with the back of the tiger.

"Xiaoyin shopkeeper, young, but in the way of doing business, but deeply studied, one person, to manage the business of Shifu's shops in Chongqing. "A man in his twenties, with his eyelids hanging down, looks extremely sophisticated.

"Ji Zhe. "A handsome and elegant man in white.

"Xi Xia. "A man with an exotic face.

"Wow. "A beautiful woman who is flamboyant and unearthly.

"Pity. "A girl who is clear and jade.

"Wei Yan. "A man with a face like a heavy date.

"The latter few are Long Yao's junior disciples, the second disciple Ruan Gu, the third disciple Zifeng, and the fourth disciple Wei Wei. The two men and one woman are almost the same age as Jiang Yichen, but they seem more mature.

After introducing the eleven people, Nangong Yan returned to the seriously injured man and the girl named Chaoge.

"Dream of Chaoge, Shi Xin's five sons have no daughter, the adopted daughter who was adopted ten years ago, and then also worshiped Long Yao and sat down. The latter is the elder sister. Nangong Yan smiled slightly, bringing a hint of relief to the heavy atmosphere.

"Long Yao sat down as a big disciple, Love Sword, Luo Piaoling. When he was young, he followed his master's side, and he won his true inheritance, and his swordsmanship has been practiced to perfection. ”

"As far as they are concerned, Long Yao was exhausted after breaking out of the stone mansion for them, but he was surrounded by ghosts, Long Yao desperately broke the ghost two-body integration technique, and they fought the ghost with one external body, and Luo Piao fought the ghost's internal body alone, so that the ghost gave up the interception before escaping from the city. It's just ......" came out after a long time, and Nangong Yan finally introduced the seriously injured man, with appreciation in his eyes, and a trace of pity flashed.

Under Nangong Yan's introduction one by one, everyone greeted the old man again.

The old man listened to Nangong Yan's foreshadowing introduction, and he already knew it, and signaled that Luo Piaoling, who wanted to get up, didn't have to get up and salute.

Love sword, Luo Piaozero. This name has been well-known in recent years, the age of two or four, the swordsmanship has been extraordinary, the song and dance orchestra is omniscient, the power and wealth are possessed, the gentleman has won the favor of many beauties in the rivers and lakes, and is called "the first beautiful man in the southwest of Zhongzhou", the "love sword" of the good name.

"It's just?" The old man had already guessed half a point, but he hoped that Nangong Yan could tell him a better result, but after all, he would be disappointed, and the ghost would not let his opponent go easily.

"Break the muscles and break the pulse. The ghost two-body integration technique was broken, the damage was not small, and he became angry, and he also left this palm in anger. Rao is drifting zero internal cultivation is profound, but he only protects the heart veins, and the eight veins of the strange meridians in his body are completely damaged, and his life is in danger. Before I found them, each of them took turns to inject their skills into Piaoling to save his life. In the following month, I led them to Lingnan Medicine Valley for medical treatment. Nangong Yan said.

"Yao Lao can't help it?" the old man asked.

"It's okay, it's going to need to be recuperated. In this life, I can no longer hold a sword. Nangong Yan shook his head.

When Nangong Yan said this, everyone's eyes were unconsciously focused on Luo Piaoling. A proud son of heaven with both ability and political integrity, who should have soared in this world, was destroyed so completely overnight, which couldn't help but affect everyone's compassion.

Luo Piaoling smiled with relief as if he was ignoring the pity of the people around him. But the momentary clenching of his left hand wiped out the unwillingness in his heart.

"In the evening, I fell with Mei. With the soul of the flower, the sky is empty. Although the old man has been trained in the world and is used to seeing the inexplicable death of many geniuses, he thought that he could be without waves, and he couldn't help but sigh for it.

There was silence for a long time, and finally the old man spoke first.

"What are your plans for the future?" The old man's gaze swept over the thirteen people, and fell on Luo Piaoling, through that deep look, he saw the firmness and unyielding in the young man's heart.

"Form a gang and recuperate. Luo Piaoling noticed the old man's gaze and returned with his hand.

"Have you thought about where it will be located, Jiangning or near Jiangning County?" asked the old man.

"If so, of course the best. Regarding the old man's temptation, Luo Piaoling replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Do you choose Kyushu to form an alliance, or do you want to meet the four seas?" the old man asked again.

"It doesn't matter, does it. "Luo Piao replied.

"Since this is the case, then Nangong will help you see where it is suitable, and Lao Zhen will allocate some people to help. The old man did not refuse this small request, the group of people in front of him were in great distress, not blindly thinking about revenge, thinking of demanding, but choosing to hibernate, recuperate, and seek self-improvement.

The old man believes that this group of young people, as long as they are given a little protection and some time, they will be able to stand on the top of the rivers and lakes in the future.
