Shen Fengming's eyes were slightly red, but he didn't make a sound. Last time, he didn't hold back the hatred in his heart in Dongting, and forced him to take action against "Cheng Fangyu", or really contributed to Shan Fangyu's unintentional death; this time, no matter how much his heart was surging, how could he be willful again? If Xia Chen was so close to danger, he really didn't know how to go back to face Jun Li, if Cheng Fangyue really came to help, he knew that no matter what he wanted to do, he would have to endure it until the dust of this martial arts conference settled.

He gritted his teeth, forced his unconsciously clenched right hand to Shu Ping, and calmed his expression: "Cheng Zuo's words are serious." Something has happened in Jiankang in the past two days, but I am afraid that the situation will become worse than Zuo Envoy expected. It was clearly written in Junchao's letter that day, this trip was very dangerous, and he couldn't support it alone, so he asked the Tuoba sect leader for help, I remember that the sect leader clearly promised to come in person, but why didn't he care about this ......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, his face changed slightly, and his voice turned urgent, "I remember that Jun Li sent the book to Shan Xianxian, and the reply he got was also that Tuoba Gu would go to Jiankang - it was definitely not Jun Chao's misunderstanding - why did it turn out that it was you? Cheng Ping returned to Gu Province, could it be that it wasn't you who should stay in Qinglong Valley?"

Cheng Fangyue heard this, and the smile on his face narrowed slightly: "Ping'er has returned to Qinglong Valley?"

Shen Fengming suddenly had a very bad premonition, and grabbed him by the collar: "You don't know? Tuoba Gu didn't tell you?

Cheng Fangyue didn't avoid it, but he didn't want to get his wish, raised his right hand, took it to Shen Fengming's wrist, and touched it, and his fingers were as flexible as a wandering vine, so he wanted to go up with his forearm. Shen Fengming's wrist turned, and before he could wrap it up, he flexibly turned it out from the gap, but in the end, it was a hindrance to the upward movement of his hand, and it was difficult to reach the neck collar of the opponent.

"Brother Shen!" Xia Chen suddenly made a move, blurted out a shout, and the two of them had already passed two moves. Xia Chen was only afraid of stiffness, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand. Although his skills were not as good as Shen Fengming, Shen Fengming was slightly stunned when he saw him interfering, his palm arm was slightly retracted, and the dagger that had not yet slipped into the palm of his hand was hidden in his sleeve again. Looking at Cheng Fangyue's non-playful face, he couldn't tell for a moment whether he was in the right moment, whether it was out of the instinct that had been buried in his heart for eighteen years - that he had forgotten those forbearances, and unconsciously wanted to hand him the killer.

The slightest hesitation was enough for Xia Chen to grasp his wrist, "Brother Shen, don't be impulsive, you have something to say." ”

Shen Fengming's eyes were still fixed on Cheng Fangyu's face, and his strong tone was as gloomy as lead: "What is Tuoba Gu's plan to stay in Qinglong Valley, you can make it clear!"

Cheng Fangyue's face was also a little gloomy, and he took a breath, "Shen Fengming, you'd better figure it out, Qinglong Valley is our land, and the sect leader stays on his own land, you can't care what you do!"

After a pause, he added: "If—if someone is going to suffer for this, then it's only to blame—he sent it to the door himself!"

"What are you talking about!" Shen Fengming looked at him angrily, and after a while, he suddenly sneered: "Really, if there is any accident in Ling Lang, is it not to blame others?"

Cheng Fang's eyes moved, and his lips also moved, as if he wanted to refute. Xia Chen saw his hesitation, and hurriedly said: "Cheng Zuo, there must be a misunderstanding inside," so he didn't care about it, and dragged Shen Fengming to the table first, "This is the moment, let's sit down first, and explain the current matter clearly, okay?"

Cheng and Shen glanced at each other and didn't speak again, only the contempt and hidden fire in their eyes that couldn't be hidden, and they were about to burn.

---------

The winter wind blows through the forest, and the dead leaves make a lifeless maple sound.

The people behind the tomb smiled after hearing Suzaku's question. "You don't seem surprised that I'm here. ”

"Accident, how not to be surprised. Suzaku's expression was still indifferent, "Several messages say that you should be in Jiankang at this time." ”

He patted the dust on his hands, "I really believed it, I thought - no matter how you are, you will never risk the survival of Xiajiazhuang - after all, it is the only relative on your mother's side." ”

The face of the person on the other side remained unchanged, "What about later?"

"Tuoba Gu. Suzaku retracted the coldness on his face, and his tone turned solemn, "I don't go around in circles with you." I'm not here to look for you today, no matter why you decide to stay here and what you're going to do, I'll just tell you that I, Suzaku, am here to propose marriage to my apprentice today, and you'd better not embarrass him. There are no grievances today. ”

"Yes. Tuoba said, "What if I don't believe it?"

Suzaku frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Take a look for yourself-" Tuoba Gu also retracted his complexion and walked towards him, "You, the 'first person in the Ouchi' Suzaku, my Tuoba Gu's long-cherished enemy for many years - with your proud disciple, the head of the Black Bamboo Society, Xia Junli who made a big fuss about my Qinglong Valley - brought your former head of the palace, Zhang Ting, who was rampant in my land while I was away, and brought hundreds of forbidden troops, who were stubbornly sharpened, just outside my Qinglong Valley, and the open fire was like no one!"

The more he spoke, the darker his face became, "How do you want me to believe that you are just here to propose marriage, Lord Zhu, in other words, you can believe it! Do you think that a mere 'relative' can tell me to open up Qinglong Valley to the enemy again—do you think I will be a second time?"

"Since I am a relative of Jun Li, I naturally want to come with him, and as for Zhang Ting and the forbidden army, they are all the guards of King Yi. Suzaku said calmly, "This is the royal system, King Yi has a special identity, he wants to come to Qinglong Valley, and the entourage is crowded, and it is not under my own system, you don't have to be a soldier." "Paused slightly, "I've made it clear, if the sect leader is reasonable, he will definitely not stop him, and after I see Zhuo Yan and agree on family affairs, I will leave." ”

He flicked his sleeves, said goodbye to Tuoba Gu, turned around, and faced the shadows of the trees, faintly leaking out another figure.

Suzaku's expression changed slightly. The moon-white robe and the fiery red silk are suddenly scorching like the scorching sun in this cold and dry winter place.

"You know in your heart that I can't let you leave this place lightly today!" Tuoba Gu behind him said sharply word by word, "Put away all your rhetoric, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." ”

Suzaku didn't look at him. He stared intently at the figure in front of him blocking his way.

- If he is more aggressive, Tuoba Gu is indeed sure to keep him here.

"You...... Do you think I'm here for another purpose?" he began, obviously aggressively.

"I don't know. A sharp voice floated in the wind, like a red silk floating in the air with the sleeves of his robe, "Maybe not." Or maybe – there really is. ”

"You should know best how much today's events carry to Jun Li. Suzaku said, "Haven't you always called yourself his master - you don't even ...... his sincerity?"

"You don't deserve to talk to me about his sincerity. Ling Li interrupted coldly. "Suzaku, you know very well in your heart that if it weren't for you, Junli's marriage, Qinglong Valley would not be embarrassed. You are forced to intervene out of your own selfishness, and as for what happened to him, you didn't care at all. In that case, it is no wonder that others suspect that you are using him as an excuse to come here for other purposes. ”

"Yes. Do you dare to say this in front of Jun Li?" Suzaku's voice also became sharper, "Let me tell you, if I don't come today, with Tuoba Gu's calculations, Jun Li will only be regarded as throwing himself into the net this time! If you really care about Jun Li, you should go to the forest to meet him now, instead of blocking my way here!"

"Nonsense!" said sharply, "if you really think that we are going to calculate him—if you are really for Jun Li's good—why should you allow him to put himself in danger?

Suzaku laughed loudly, "Lingli, Lingli! In vain, that kid still thinks that you are his guiding bosom friend! Don't you know that he doesn't dare to do anything for the sake of Zhuo Yan's daughter? What Daoshan Purgatory refuses to go? Who is there - even me - can stop him! Who is not worthy of talking about his 'sincerity' - of course I won't stop him, I won't even persuade him - I just won't allow him to follow someone like you to propose marriage-because you are just a dog of Tuoba Gu, you can't protect him!"

A glimmer of anger finally flashed in Ling Li's eyes. He didn't speak again, only the red silk in his right hand was tensed up for a moment, and it was hard at first glance and no longer soft and leisurely on weekdays.

Suzaku turned around instead, leaving his back in such danger as a way to show his infinite contempt. His gaze swept over Tuoba Gu and rested on the tombstone. "Look, Bai Shuang," he whispered, talking to the people in the underground as if no one was around, "when these two people deceived our Suzaku Villa, everyone in the world said that they were reasonable;

The candle flame in front of the grave flickered twice, and two wisps of black ash smoke smoked on the tombstone.

He reached out and stroked the corner of the tombstone a few times. Whether he took the opportunity to bully the Green Dragon Sect or the Green Dragon Sect took the opportunity to deal with him, it didn't seem to matter anymore, only the urgency that was about to break out and could no longer be compatible. He regretted it a little - if he had done it to the Blue Dragon Sect earlier, he might not have had so many branches. It's a pity that today's words have come to this, and some things are really indiscerning, Tuoba Gu—probably really decided not to allow him to have another chance to leave.

If it weren't for Cheng Ping's sudden proposal to return to Qinglong Valley on the night of his wedding, which gave him a lot of bad premonitions, he would have planned to let Xia Yan invite Ling Li to propose marriage according to the original plan. After that, he repeatedly thought about Cheng Pingde's letter to his family, which he didn't know what he had written—and this Tuoba Gu, who had been so bewitched by someone who didn't know who he had become the old one for a long time. He didn't know what the truth was, but he wouldn't let him risk it alone.

If—he knew that Ling Li had a good saying—that his coming might indeed backfire—he had to come. In this way, no matter what happens, at least he can solve it in his own way.

Hands left the tombstone, and the clothes of the three men were heard hunting in the flickering wind. "Okay, let's just go together. The words were so calm, only the black sinking killing machine that suddenly burst from the body and mind here and now, enveloped the entire forest in an instant.
