Chapter 372: Drinking Water Like a Fish
"Xiaoxiao, between Tianjin and the ruthless valley master...... What's the matter?"
At this time, there were only three people left in Zixiao Palace: Qingfeng, Ling Xiaoxiao, and Luo Ningyu.
Ling Xiaoxiao was in a trance, absent-minded, and did not react to Qingfeng's questioning. Luo Ningyu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. She is not only worried about her mother, but also worried about her father who is far away in Luoyang. She didn't know the truth, and when she suddenly heard that Luo Tianjin might be reluctant, she was inevitably timid, and she had mixed tastes, and she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
"Xiaoxiao!" Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao was unwilling, her eyes were full of melancholy, Qingfeng couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in surprise, "Could it be ...... Do you know about this?"
"I ......" Ling Xiaoxiao's expression was solemn, and she slowly shook her head, "No, I don't believe that Brother Jin will fail me." ”
"I don't want to believe it as a father. Qingfeng sighed, "But it is rumored that the rivers and lakes have noses and eyes, and even Shaolin is shaken.
Luo Ningyu's eyes changed, and he hurriedly said, "Grandpa, do you suspect that my father is unfaithful to his mother?"
"Now, it is no longer a private matter between your father and mother, it will be related to the life and death of the entire Xianwang Mansion, and even the ending of the Nine Martial Arts Conference in early September. Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, don't forget the truth that people's words are terrible and everyone is golden." Once your father is charged with colluding with paganism, he will not be able to wash it away even if he jumps into the Yellow River. At that time, out of the wisdom of self-preservation, Shaolin, Kongtong, and Kunlun will definitely stay away from the Xianwang Mansion, and I will be ...... Wudang."
At this point, Qingfeng's voice stopped abruptly, and at the same time, his face showed a tangled look.
Ling Xiaoxiao raised her head abruptly and asked, "How is Wudang? Could it be that Wudang is also going to abandon us?"
"You are my biological daughter, and Ning Yu and Hongxuan are my biological grandsons. As for Tianjin, he is not only my son-in-law, but also the apprentice I raised single-handedly, I ...... How can I bear to abandon you?" Qingfeng said bitterly, "However, the Wudang ancestral motto is 'chivalrous and righteous, Kuang Fu Zhengzong'. As the head of the Wudang faction, how can I turn a blind eye? Ignore Wudang's reputation?"
"Dad, this matter must be a conspiracy, your old man must be aware of it. Ling Xiaoxiao persuaded, "I believe Brother Jin! The Xianwang Mansion has been fighting with the Peerless Valley for many years, and the feud between the two families is as deep as the sea, and they don't share the sky, how can Brother Jin have a personal affair with the Ruthless Valley Lord? ”
"The affairs of Jiangzhou, in addition to the Jinjianwu and Kunlun factions, Qingcheng, Emei and the four major families have all seen it with their own eyes, although they have a gap with the Xianwang Mansion, but at least they are famous and decent, and the bottom line still exists. If there is no target, how dare you spread falsehood?"
"The Kunlun faction has personally admitted that the matter of 'stealing teachers' is pure fiction. Luo Ningyu defended, "Dad meddled in this matter to protect the Kunlun faction from unwarranted disasters, and it has nothing to do with the Valley of Despair!"
Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao and Luo Ningyu were both "convinced" of Luo Tianjin, Qingfeng Rao was suspicious in his heart, and it was inconvenient to say anything more at this moment. After a moment of silence, Fang sighed and said lightly: "True or false, in short, during the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Tianjin must give a clear explanation to the people of the world, and block the mouths of Youyou as soon as possible, so as not to make mistakes again and again." ”
After that, Qingfeng cast his eyes on Ling Xiaoxiao with pity, and said helplessly: "There is one more thing...... The Father wants to remind you. It is an eventful time now, the situation in the rivers and lakes is changing rapidly, and the martial arts conference is about to be held. Therefore, whether Tianjin and Xiao Zhirou have a personal relationship or not, you have to ...... must focus on the overall situation, and must not play with the temper of the young lady, let alone publicize the ugliness of the family. All...... It needs to wait for the martial arts conference to be discussed. ”
Qingfeng's words, at first glance, seem to be well understood, but in fact they are very ruthless. The implication of his words has already determined that there must be a personal affair between Luo Tianjin and Xiao Zhirou. But even so, he still had Ling Xiaoxiao to swallow his anger, not only to protect Luo Tianjin's status in the rivers and lakes, but also to protect his reputation and that of the Wudang faction.
The ending of the East Window incident is often for the woman to "understand the general situation, take care of the overall situation", and endure the pain of betrayal alone. The world only allows men to have three wives and four concubines, but women are not allowed to go out of the wall. The world is declining, and the gang is often lost, who can you tell it?
I don't know when? The tears in Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes had fallen silently, she looked at the ugly breeze with tears in her eyes, and forced a smile on her face: "My daughter has listened to her father's teachings since she was a child, how can she not know the truth of taking care of the overall situation? In fact, there are some things that her father doesn't have to say, and her daughter also knows how to choose. Your old man made it clear, but my daughter didn't know how to deal with herself......"
"Xiaoxiao, I've wronged you. Qingfeng felt bitter in his heart, but he was helpless, so he could only sigh again and again.
"That Xiao Zhirou...... Who is it?" Facing Ling Xiaoxiao, who was lost and depressed, Luo Ningyu's heart was like a knife, and he said indignantly, "If Dad is really fascinated by the fox spirit, I ......"
"Shut up!"
As soon as Luo Ning's words came out, Ling Xiaoxiao's face suddenly sank, and she reprimanded: "You are Luo Tianjin's daughter, how can you be bewitched by gossip and criticize your father in vain?
"But ......"
"No, but!" Ling Xiaoxiao said sternly, "Even if your father really has anything to do with the Ruthless Valley Lord, it is also a matter between our husband and wife, and it has nothing to do with you! Don't say that your father's life is bright and chivalrous, even if he is full of evil and brings disaster to the world, you can't have evil thoughts in your heart, and you will take revenge!"
"That righteousness destroys relatives ......"
"Disobedience to human ethics is the first injustice in the world, what qualifications do you have to claim to be 'righteous'?" Ling Xiaoxiao said angrily, "From now on, if I hear you speak disrespectfully to my father again, my mother will never spare me!"
The mother was angry, and the daughter wrote it down. ”
Luo Ningyu knew that Ling Xiaoxiao's harsh words were also taking care of the overall situation, so instead of resentment in her heart, she admired her mother more and more, and at the same time became more and more distressed.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, my grandfather will let your father swear in public. Qingfeng said secretively, "I want him to personally level the Valley of Despair and kill Xiao Zhirou after the martial arts conference, and give your mother justice, and also return his own innocence." ”
......
April 15, noon, Luoyang City.
Lin Fang made a big deal and invited Liu Xunyi, Xun Qin, Abaolu, Xu Heng, Ling Qing, Liao Brothers, "Fushou Kangning" and others to gather in Tianxianglou and get drunk.
"Today's double happiness is worth celebrating!"
In Tianxiang Building, the high-spirited Lin Fangda ignored the strange eyes of the diners around him, jumped onto the table in one step, held the wine bowl high, and laughed: "The first happy event is the ...... of Brother Xu Heng" As for this, Lin Fangda suddenly waved his hand and slapped his mouth, and then changed his words, "It should be the master of the Xu Gate, the injury has healed, and he has officially taken over the position of the master of the Death Gate." Brothers, isn't that a great event?"
"Count!"
"Fushou Kangning" and the Liao brothers took the lead in coaxing, and the atmosphere became more and more excited. On the other hand, Xu Heng, who has always been bold, is a little twisted at this time, and his face is already red before he has drunk.
"Lin Fangda, don't mess around, come down quickly!" Xu Heng urged with embarrassment in his eyes, "Drink and drink, what are you doing on the table? The restaurant is open to welcome guests, aren't you disturbing other people's business by making such nonsense? Besides, your own brother is happy, why are you making noise, the world knows about it?"
"That's it!" Ling Qing echoed, "You are so flamboyant, you know that you are taking over as the 'Master of the Dead Gate', and those who don't know still think that you are taking over the 'Master of the Martial Arts Alliance'?"
"Haha......"
Ling Qing's words immediately provoked a burst of laughter from Liu Xunyi and others, and Xu Heng couldn't help laughing, jokingly: "If Lao Tzu is the leader of the martial arts alliance, he will appoint all the brothers as the deputy leaders of the alliance." The chair of the twelve heroes of the Central Plains martial arts, let's also take turns to sit!haha......"
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Fangda pouted indifferently, "Since it's a happy event, don't be afraid of shouting! Whoever wants to be blind can leave at any time." As for the loss of Tianxianglou, Lao Tzu compensated him. ”
"That's right!" Liao Chuan said angrily, "It's rare to be happy today, how can you not have a good time?"
"Shut up, listen to me!" Lin Fang waved his hand and said, "There is a second happy event today, my sworn brother Liu Xunyi is going to Tubo and becoming famous in a fight......! Have you all seen the letter that Long Xiang Mountain handed over to the lord of the mansion? Xun Yi has been regarded by Long Xiang Mountain as one of the top ten masters of the rivers and lakes, ranking seventh on the Dragon Elephant List! Is it a great event?"
"Count!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted another round of applause.
"No, no, no!" Liao Hai waved his hand quite dissatisfied, "That 'Nine Lives No Return' is obviously ranked fourth on the Dragon Elephant List, and the master of the sect should replace him in the fourth place, why is it ranked seventh?
"That makes sense!" Xu Heng nodded, "In my opinion, Brother Liu's martial arts are as rich as Tang A's, why can't he be ranked fourth?"
Lu Tingxiang, who is in the third place, is purely a useless waste, who will only sell his reputation and pretend. Liao Chuan said contemptuously, "If he doesn't inherit his ancestral business, he also deserves to be ranked third?
"That's a mistake!" Liu Xunyi retorted, "I defeated Jian Zhong just by chance. To tell the truth, on that day in Tanggula Mountain, Jian Zhong fought against the four purple-clothed masters of the Jokhang Temple and killed them all. And I, when his internal strength was almost exhausted, took advantage of the weakness, and although I won, I couldn't win, so I couldn't count!"
"Yes, it's rare that you still have self-knowledge. Xun Qin teased, and then changed his words and explained to everyone, "Although the martial arts of the Lord of the Willow Sect are high, Long Xiangshan does not know much about it. All the people on the list, all of them are famous and shaken the rivers and lakes, the seventh Wu Zen before, and practiced the "Yijin Sutra" for more than ten years to have this achievement. As for Tang Afu and Qin Ku, they have been in the bloody rain for many years before they were selected by Longxiang Mountain. On the other hand, the master of Liumen has only been famous for a year and a half, and it is inevitable that he will be overstretched compared with others on the list. Therefore, it is very impressive to be able to rank him in seventh place. ”
"But ......"
"That's it!" Lin Fang shook his head like a rattle, "It doesn't matter if he's seventh or sixth, the most important thing is to be on the list." Great joy!
"That's right, happy event!" Ling Qing laughed and said, "Brother Lin said well, today's double happiness is coming, we must have a good drink!
"Wait a minute!"
Just when everyone picked up the wine bowl and wanted to drink heartily, Liu Xunyi suddenly got up and said: "This first bowl of wine should be honored by Lord Chen Yongmen, if it weren't for Brother Chen's life, I was afraid of Brother Xu...... It's hard to get to where you are today. ”
"That's right!" Xu Heng was shocked, and said in a condensed voice, "The first bowl of wine, toast Chen Yong!
"Master Chen, go all the way!"
The lively atmosphere suddenly became serious, and everyone took the wine bowl and saluted the sky together, and then spilled the wine on the ground to pay tribute to Chen Yong.
"Second bowl of wine, toast Tang Cong!" Liu Xunyi looked sad and said sadly, "If it weren't for Tang Cong, I wouldn't have been able to see through Jian Zhong's tricks, and it would be impossible for me to come back alive from Tubo!" Tang Cong, let's go!"
"Tang Cong, go all the way, and be brothers in the next life!" Xu Heng's eyes were filled with tears, and he raised the wine bowl tremblingly, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Tang Cong, let's go!"
With the sound of everyone drinking together, another bowl of strong wine was spilled on the ground to pay tribute to Tang Cong.
"The third bowl of wine, the dead brother of the Jingxian Palace!"
Three bowls of spirits, the deceased. The excitement that had just lingered on the faces of several people had long since disappeared at this moment, replaced by a thick grief and indescribable depression.
Swords and swords, bloody rain and bloody wind. Who wins and who loses? Who lives and who dies?
In the past, how many people are left in the past?
Today's strong man Lingyun sings about wine, can it still be tomorrow?
The rivers and lakes are full of wind and rain, and the world is full of wind and rain.
The clothes are sheltered from the wind and rain, and the wind and rain are bloody and bloody.
