The horse was handed over to the people brought to Liuyu to hold it separately, Xia Yan followed the father and son to the house, and Zhang Ting followed. Put on the rain hat again, but the "click" sound is weaker - those hard ice slags seem to have turned into a soft drizzle again.

As he walked, in his limited line of sight, he noticed the scabbard hanging from the waist of Shan Heng in front of him. It's a bit old black, and it looks a little bit like Shan Yiyi - the knife that he always shows off and inherits the "single family knife technique", but has never actually wielded it a few times. The knife was tied around the waist by a striking white belt, and the wet knot hung beside the hilt, similar to the flags flying in the treetops in the distance.

Xia Yan came back to his senses again in the illusion of a slight dizziness, an unreal fear was about to erupt, but he couldn't find a reason to attack.

"Shan Xianxian......" he began, a little unsure of what to say. "I ...... Today is from the heart of the heart, for the sake of the thorn. I also know that I can't be friends with the Qinglong Sect, if Shan Xianfeng has any dissatisfaction with Jun Li, just say it. ”

"What's the dissatisfaction with you?" Shan Jiquan turned his head slightly, glanced at him, and turned back with a smile. "Jun Li, you are very good. ”

Xia Yan was stunned, "Shan Xianfeng means ......"

"You're good. There are many men in this world who can't compare to you. Whether it's Ling Li or Suzaku, they all regard you as a proud protégé, and I should be glad for the thorn that I can get your heart. ”

Xia Yan was silent, not knowing the meaning of his words.

"You died for the Thorn in Meizhou, although I was unwilling at the time, but if the Thorn must follow you, I will just let it go. You claimed to be against Suzaku at that time, and I thought you wouldn't go back to him. ”

Xia Yan still didn't speak. He didn't forget that when he came back from Meizhou with the thorn, it was Shan Jiquan who imprisoned him in the prison of Qinglong Valley on the grounds of his status as a "Suzaku disciple", and tried to blackmail Suzaku with this. If you want to say that you finally returned to Suzaku, probably half of the credit for his actions that day, and today suddenly mentioned such a "thought", Xia Yan really didn't "think" a little, but thinking about today's occasion, of course, he would not refute it as in the past.

"When you went back, the position between you and me changed. Shan Jiquan continued, "No matter how much I valued you in the old days—whether it was on Tiandu Peak or outside Meizhou City, I could save you—but the people of Vermilion Bird have a deep gap with my Blue Dragon Sect after all. It's because I've been your enemy a few times later, it's not that I'm dissatisfied with your Jun Li, it's just that I'm not sure that your heart for thorns is more true than that of Suzaku. I don't want her to be in a dilemma because of you one day—just because I don't think it's likely that the old feud between Suzaku and the Blue Dragon Sect will be safe forever after all. ”

He stood still, half-sideways, his eyes under the umbrella showing some pity. The rain became lighter at this time, the water silk softened into a little white, and the soft fine snow characteristic of Jiangnan began to stick softly and thinly on the sleeves of his dark robe.

"You ask me what I am unhappy with. Shan Jiquan sighed, and continued, "I don't have any grievances. Thorn Thorn decided in his heart that you were desperate for you. But I always want to ask, what has she gained after all the desperation? Although you have solemnly proposed marriage today, none of the things that have caused you and her to be uneasy after all have changed, and even if you have offered all the bride price and beauty of the world, will you and her be different from before?"

"Of course it will be different from before. Xia Yan couldn't help but defend, "Let's not say it first-my master has never mentioned to me that he wants to be an enemy of the Blue Dragon Sect, since he is willing to propose marriage for me, he is also willing not to be an enemy of the Blue Dragon Sect from now on-even if he really has any old grudges with you, this has nothing to do with me, those so-called 'uneasy' and so-called 'old hatred' are all imposed by outsiders, and there is clearly no gap between me and her." ”

"Is there really not?" Shan Jiquan sneered. "So, what is inadvertent?"

Xia Yan gritted his teeth. In fact, he wanted to say that the responsibility for the unintentional death lies with you. He endured it in the end. "What do you want me to do when Shan Xianfeng said this to me?"

Shan Jiquan seemed to have been waiting for his question, and smiled when he heard this: "Easy." As long as you leave Suzaku. ”

Xia Yan's eyes moved. "If I marry Thorn, of course I won't live with Suzaku again. ”

"That's not what I mean by 'leaving'. "I'm talking about 'completely' leaving. ”

"Do you want me to stop recognizing him as a teacher and never get along with each other?"

Shan Jiquan shook his head. "I want you to kill him. ”

He spit out the words indifferently, but Xia Yan's whole mind was shocked by these six words. "If I say I can't do it?" he blurted out.

"Others can say that they can't do it, but you-you are the most unsuspecting person in Suzaku, and you still have the entire Black Bamboo Society in your hands. Shan Jiquan said calmly, "How can you say that you can't do it?"

"Shan Xianfeng!" Xia Yan couldn't bear it after all, "I don't know if you want to test me, or take it seriously." I asked Ling Daxia to hand over the prayer post and gift list early, I told you early that my master would propose marriage for me, if you really have such a great dissatisfaction with me and my master, and you don't want to marry me at all, you can refuse early, why did you pretend to agree, reply to invite us to come, but say such unbelievable words!"

He suppressed his breath, but he couldn't suppress the rapid heartbeat, but the face of Shan Jiquan on the opposite side smiled lightly. "That's it. He only said two words lightly, and glanced sideways at Shan Heng. As soon as the single balance hand was released, the wind was predictable, and the paper umbrella was blown extremely high and far in an instant.

Almost at the same time, at the side of the path, behind the trunks of the trees, figures of high and low appeared, and an unknown number of bows and arrows, as they had been at the beginning, had once again aimed the hideous sharp star at his vital point.

Xia Yan didn't know if she should be surprised. The strange hostility that had been so fishy since Fang entered the valley, he always convinced himself that it was just an illusion. So close to the bow and arrow ambush, he always told himself, it was just the sound of rain. Unfortunately, the sound of the rain has finally faded, and snowflakes have begun to fall all over the mountains. That warm enthusiasm is finally going to be cold.

"Shan Xianxian, why is it the same joke again. There was a little sore in his nose, and he tried to make a final struggle. He raised his hands, "Look, I'm here without even a sword......

"I knew you wouldn't have said yes. Shan Jiquan didn't answer him at all, "But to be honest, Jun Li, this matter is really not my idea alone. Xiaomeng, stabbing thorns, they all think like this - I want to see her in your heart, and now it seems that Suzaku is heavier. ”

"Yes. Xia Yan sneered, "Do you dare to let me see the stabbing and let me ask her face to face, is this her idea?"

"You still want to see my sister!" The young man who had been pressing on the side until now finally couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to point at him, "If she hadn't stopped me last time, I would have ...... a long time ago."

It was too late to say it, and before the words fell, Shan Heng's figure suddenly leaned forward - he didn't know where a strong force suddenly came from, which dragged him unsteadily, and hurriedly tried to hold his body, and the strong force did not allow him to struggle for half a minute, and his body rushed forward more and more, and when he woke up, his throat was cold, and two unfamiliar fingers touched the untouched, which had been pressed into his throat.

There was still some distance between the father and son and Xia Yan, but Shan Heng stretched out his finger but sent one of his arms closer, how could Xia Yan be willing to let go of this fleeting opportunity, Jiuyun's "flowing clouds" suddenly entwined in the past, and pulled his whole person straight over, even Shan Jiquan didn't have this, and his backhand block only pulled off one of the young man's sleeves.

The young man who was not tall enough was just enough for Xia Yan to easily choke his fingers in his throat, and his gaze crossed his head to the opposite Shan Jiquan.

"I want to see a thorn. He only said those five words.

Shan Jiquan's beloved son was coerced, but his face was as if nothing happened, "If you have the ability, you can do it." The stab is still grieving her for killing her brother and seeing if she will treat you as a relative or an enemy. ”

"Daddy......" Shan Heng was shocked first, "Dad, save me......"

"It's useless for you to be at such a stalemate with me. Xia Yan's face also remained unchanged, "My master will come soon, there are three hundred forbidden troops outside the valley, and Master Zhang is also here." Even if I don't have a balance in my hand, with you—you think you've got it today. After a pause, "I advise you to collect all the bows and arrows, and I can also tell my master that everything is going well today." Otherwise, you know his temper. ”

The corners of Shan Jiquan's mouth finally showed a sly smile. "Of course I know your master's temper. He smiled, "I know—from the day he decided to accompany you to the Blue Dragon Valley, he was doomed to never go back. ”

The smile stopped suddenly. There was no trace of warmth on his lips, and he spit out two words lightly.

"Shoot the arrows. ”

----------

Shen Fengming watched Cheng Fangyue keep opening and closing the two lips that spit out the words, but he only imagined what he looked like when he spit out those two words coldly.

"It's burned. ”

The vision is a little blurry, and I can't tell the past and the present in a trance. Cheng Fangyue was saying something, but he didn't listen to a word, and he didn't think it made sense to listen.

It wasn't until Wan Xiyang answered that his divine sense floated back.

"I also know a thing or two about what Cheng Zuo said. Wan Xiyang said, "But since the old owner passed away, the Tuoba sect master and the owner of the village have to walk around every year, and after so many years of friendship, no one remembers that festival." ”

"Really, Uncle Wan?" Xia Chen looked at him in disbelief, "Grandpa really has such a holiday with his cousin?"

Wan Xiyang sighed. "The old owner was on the rivers and lakes back then—among the anti-gold heroes—although they were all well-known and well-known people, who didn't know his chivalrous courage......? Let's tell the truth behind closed doors, the old owner is too good to outsiders, and treats his own children with a ...... temper On the contrary, it is a little worse. ”

"It's not just a bit of a 'temper'. Cheng Fang said coldly.

Xia Chen hung his head a little lost, "No wonder...... No wonder my cousin wouldn't come to help this time. ”

Wan Xiyang saw that Cheng Fangyue's face was not very good-looking, and he hurriedly said: "Anyway, the Tuoba Sect Leader still asked Cheng Zuo to come to help, which shows that he still has affection for Xiajiazhuang, but this 'East Water Alliance' originated from the old owner, and he couldn't let go of the old things, and he refused to come in person, which is also human nature." There is also a Lao Zuo envoy, this trip back, I have a lot of thanks to the Tuoba sect master, it just so happens that our owner is also coming back a year ago, I will definitely tell him, and I will come to Qinglong Valley to walk around again during the New Year's Festival. ”
