Chapter 646: Life and Death (4)
"Squeak!"
When Luo Tianjin, who had a solemn face and complicated eyes, slowly opened the door, Liu Xunyi, who also had a solemn face and complicated eyes, stood outside the door.
The door was divided into left and right, Luo Tianjin and Liu Xunyi stood facing each other, their eyes facing each other, speechless to each other, the complexity of their moods, and the sadness of their expressions could not be described in words.
At this time, there was only a threshold between the two.
However, this threshold is like an insurmountable chasm, completely separating the hearts of father and son.
In this way, the two looked at each other silently, for a long, long time......
It wasn't until Xie Xuan, Deng Changchuan, and Huang Yulang in the room slowly approached that Luo Tianjin was like waking up from a big dream, and his spirit was suddenly shocked, and he subconsciously rolled his eyes a few times, forcing back the tears that were about to overflow, and then coughed lightly twice, and asked Liu Xunyi in a slightly hoarse voice: "What's the matter?"
"Liu Xunyi, you ......"
"Changchuan, Yulang, go and go about your own business!"
When Huang Yulang, who was full of resentment, wanted to ask Liu Xunyi Xingshi for his guilt, Luo Tianjin's eyes suddenly straightened, and he ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Brother Xie, you should go too!"
Xie Xuan was worried, and hesitated: "But ......"
"It's okay!"
Two simple words, but countless meanings, Xie Xuan understood Luo Tianjin's thoughts, so he glanced at Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang, who were full of entanglement, and then sighed lightly and walked out of the study sideways.
Huang Yulang and Deng Changchuan hesitated for a moment, then took a deep look at Liu Xunyi, who was in a trance, and finally bowed to Luo Tianjin, and left one after another.
"Come in and talk. ”
Luo Tianjin ignored the reluctant Xie Xuan and the others, smiled indifferently at Liu Xunyi, turned around and walked back to the room.
At this moment, Liu Xunyi's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he stepped over a small threshold, as if he had stepped through three mountains and five mountains, tired and exhausted.
"Drink tea!"
Luo Tianjin enthusiastically handed a cup of tea to Liu Xunyi, and said with a smile: "No matter what happens, you speak slowly, and I will also sober up." ”
Luo Tianjin's attitude is amiable, and her words are soft, like a spring breeze, just like an elder chatting with a junior.
"Actually...... It doesn't matter. Liu Xunyi forcibly suppressed the waves in his heart and replied in the most relaxed tone possible, "Right now, the martial arts heroes are all guests in the mansion, and in order to increase the joy of tomorrow, I made a special trip to find a miscellaneous drama troupe from Junzhou......"
"Hmm. Luo Tianjin nodded casually and said, "For such a trivial matter, you can call the shots, and you don't have to be superior." ”
"Yes......" Liu Xunyi said hesitantly, "It's just that all the heroes come from all over the world, and they have their own preferences and taboos. There is a saying that 'it is difficult for everyone to reconcile', so you must not be sloppy in what you sing, so as not to accidentally offend the reverse scale of any hero. After all, the lord of the mansion invited the heroes to the banquet for pleasure, not for awkwardness. ”
That's true. Luo Tianjin gently rubbed his forehead with his hand and replied casually.
"I was ignorant, and I really couldn't figure out the proportions, so I came to ask the lord of the house for advice late at night. ”
"Oh?" Luo Tianjin froze, then reached out to the teacup on the case, and asked rhetorically, "How are you going to ask for advice?"
"Because I didn't know if it was timely, I didn't dare to have them set up the stage in the central hall, but in the east courtyard. Liu Xunyi narrated the words he had prepared, "Come late at night, yes...... I would like to ask the lord of the mansion to go to the East Courtyard to watch it in advance. In this way, if there is no problem, the guests can be invited to the East Courtyard for a banquet tomorrow. If there is any change, the troupe can also be quietly withdrawn, so as not to alarm the guests from all over the world. ”
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin's hand holding the teacup subconsciously hovered in mid-air, looking at Liu Xunyi, who was smiling with a strong face, and did not answer for a while.
In the face of Luo Tianjin's sudden silence, Liu Xunyi's heart seemed to be clutched by someone's hands, nervous five internal churning, stomach entanglement, throat jerky, sweat outflow, and even dare not take a breath of air.
In just a moment, it is as difficult as countless spring and autumn. At this moment, Liu Xunyi did not see sweat except for his face, and his close-fitting clothes were soaked with sweat, and the cold clothes were tightly attached to his body, making him feel like a thorn in his back, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"Oh!"
I don't know how long it has been, before Luo Tianjin's mouth lightly spit out a meaningful answer.
"I don't know what the lord of the house means......"
"You're very thoughtful, it's good. Luo Tianjin praised in a plain tone while drinking tea.
"Xie Mansion Lord praised. ”
"That'...... Let's go!"
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Luo Tianjin suddenly put down the teacup, got up and walked towards the door.
"Wait......"
"Huh?"
Faced with Liu Xunyi's desire to speak, Luo Tianjin was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at Liu Xunyi with a sad face, and pretended to be puzzled: "What else is the matter?"
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."
Liu Xunyi's obstruction just now was something he couldn't help but say from the bottom of his heart, and it was not his intention.
Therefore, when Luo Tianjin asked, Liu Xunyi had regained his senses, so he murmured with a wooden expression: "It's okay...... Let's go......"
Luo Tianjin knew Liu Xunyi's thoughts well, but he pretended not to be aware, nodded slightly, and then walked towards the east courtyard as if he were strolling.
Liu Xunyi looked at Luo Tianjin's back in a daze, his hands clenched into fists, his nails deeply embedded in the flesh, spilling a trace of red blood. After struggling like this for a moment, he simply turned his heart sideways and quickly followed.
......
Under the stars and moon, in the guest courtyard of King Xian's Mansion, Deng Changchuan quietly crouched on the roof, staring intently at the dark and silent room opposite.
Before a stick of incense, several disciples of the Xianwang Mansion came here with the sleepy Qingfeng, as well as the two Dao Masters of Lone Moon and Lone Star, and settled them in the guest room to rest.
At this moment, the room that Deng Changchuan was closely monitoring was the residence of the head of Wudang, Qingfeng.
Faintly, you can hear bursts of snoring in the room from time to time, as if the breeze is sleeping soundly.
Just as Deng Changchuan, who was bored, was secretly thinking about the many strange things tonight, a black shadow suddenly came like a ghost, and fell beside Deng Changchuan in the blink of an eye.
"Who ......?"
"Shh
Without waiting for Deng Changchuan to react, the person who came suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and reminded in a low voice: "Don't panic, it's me!"
Through the hazy moonlight, Deng Changchuan took a closer look, but saw that the person lying beside him at this moment was actually Huang Yulang, who was sent by Luo Tianjin to spy on Ling Xiaoxiao.
Seeing this scene, Deng Changchuan couldn't help but be taken aback, and whispered: "Yulang, you don't stare at Madame in the inner courtyard, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here for Madame. ”
After saying that, Huang Yulang stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, Deng Changchuan hurriedly raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw that in the corridor, two bright lanterns came slowly. The people who carried the lantern turned out to be Wudang disciples Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi, and the graceful shadow behind the lantern was Ling Xiaoxiao.
"Madame......"
"Shh
Before Deng Changchuan could exclaim, Huang Yulang reached out again to cover his mouth, and at the same time dragged his body downward, and shouted: "Don't make a sound, beware of being detected!"
Under the careful surveillance of Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang, Ling Xiaoxiao tiptoed into the guest house.
Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi looked left and right, as if they were looking at the surrounding environment, and whispered to Ling Xiaoxiao, and then Ling Xiaoxiao no longer hesitated, and pushed the door into Qingfeng's room.
At the same time, Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi walked towards the rooms of Lone Moon and Lone Star respectively.
In the blink of an eye, the courtyard became empty again, and there was a dead silence, as if the three of them had never been here just now.
Deng Changchuan stared at the dark guest room, and said in a condensed voice, "What the mansion master said is true, Madame really has a ghost." ”
"Alas!" Huang Yulang sighed, "Zhao Yuan is outside, Liu Xunyi is inside, and there is a lady between the elbows and armpits, the Xianwang Mansion is really eventful right now." ”
"Yes!" Deng Changchuan felt heavy, and his tone became more and more desolate.
"What should we do now?" Huang Yulang hesitated, "After all, this is Madame below, no matter what she does, you and I can't make our own decisions." In case life changes, we don't make a move, and we don't make a move, so it's difficult to live. Or...... Tell the second master about this first?"
"Okay!" Deng Changchuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, "The second master knows the reason, and he knows the pros and cons better than you and me." Yulang, you are staring here, I'll go find the second master!"
"Good ......"
"Since the two of you are here, why are you in a hurry to leave? If you are interested in the old man, you don't have to hide your head and tail, dodge, you can take a closer look!"
Before Huang Yulang could answer, an old and gloomy voice suddenly exploded from behind the two of them like silent thunder.
Hearing this, Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang were shocked, their faces instantly became extremely ugly, they suddenly got up, and looked behind them together.
At this moment, a thin and old figure stood quietly on the kiss of the owl, the thin body seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, behind it was the crescent moon and stars, and the night sky, reflecting it extremely strangely.
"Clear ...... Breeze Chief!"
Identifying the person, Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang couldn't help but change their eyes, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly appeared in their hearts.
"Yulang, what should I do?" Deng Changchuan asked in a low voice, "Is it a battle or a retreat?"
"Qingfeng Dao Chief is the master of the mansion, how dare we make a mistake?" Huang Yulang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth and replied, "What's more, the head of Wudang is famous all over the world, and his martial arts are unfathomable, and it is by no means a waste of fame, you and I are not his opponents at all." ”
"In that case, let's retreat. Deng Changchuan proposed, "You and I are one left and one right, so that they have no skills." ”
"Good!"
"Don't waste your time, you won't be able to go anywhere tonight!"
Qingfeng penetrated the thoughts of the two at a glance, but he was not in a hurry to make a move, but pointed to Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang in turn.
The two of them were shocked and hurriedly looked sideways. I don't know when, Lone Moon and Lone Star have stood aside, sealing their retreat to the ground.
Seeing this, Huang Yulang's heart sank, and he muttered: "Looking at their posture, it seems that the comers are not good......"
Deng Changchuan hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand to Qingfeng: "Qingfeng Dao Chief, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding, we just happened to pass by here......"
"You don't have to act anymore, everyone already knows it. ”
With a burst of sarcastic laughter, Ling Xiaoxiao walked out of the guest room, raised her eyes to look at Deng and Huang who were at a loss, a fierce murderous intent suddenly flashed in her eyes, and said faintly: "Luo Tianjin sent you to monitor me, how can you hide from the predecessors of the Wudang faction with such a small skill of carving insects?" Now, Luo Tianjin is in prison, and the general trend has gone. Deng Changchuan, Huang Yulang, I read that you are the retainers of the Xianwang Mansion, and you have worked hard for many years, if you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and you will be captured, I can protect your lives. If you are stubborn and insist on going your own way, there is only ...... tonight A dead end!"
