Even if he didn't listen carefully to Cheng Fangyue's words, Shen Fengming roughly figured it out - in short, Tuoba Gu had an old gap with the late old owner Xia Wuzhi, and he refused to take this lead for Xia Jiazhuang. Tuoba Gu is Xia Zheng's nephew, which means that Xia Wuzhi is his grandfather. If a person has any bad relationship with his grandfather and can't let go of it for many years, nine times out of ten he is inseparable from his mother, Wan Xiyang also said that the old farmer treats his children "badly", or really does something enough to make Tuoba lonely hate.

Thinking like this, Shen Fengming's mind calmed down a little. He also hoped that he was just suspicious - if Tuoba Gu really had any reason not to come in person, it would be better than him staying in Qinglong Valley for some purpose that was unfavorable to Jun Li.

I only heard Cheng Fangyu say: "Why didn't the sect leader come, I have already explained this matter clearly, but I have a question now." Feng Ming Gongzi, you just said that Ping'er went to Qinglong Valley, is this serious?"

Shen Fengming said: "King Yi went with Jun Li this time, if Cheng Zuo knew about Jun Li, how could he not know about King Yi's relatives?"

"I know about Jun Li, Ling Li Gongzi came with a letter very early. But Ping'er ......"

He hesitated, then smiled wryly. "I just heard a while ago that Ping'er was married in Beijing - I think it's sad, I'm just this 'son', but he married, but I didn't know it until the fact, don't say that it's not okay at all, it's a delusion to even see him. I think the sect leader also knew that I had been thinking about Ping'er recently, and was worried that if I learned that he had returned to the valley recently, he would not take this trip to Jiankang, so he concealed the matter. ”

Shen Fengming was a little unconvinced, "Yes, I heard that it was Cheng Zuo's envoy who sent a letter to King Yi earlier, and after King Yi read the letter, he had the idea of returning to the valley - what was written in his own letter, did Zuo Envoy not count it in his heart, and he had to wait for others to tell him?"

"The letter is just plain language, and it was a few months ago, how can you predict when he will return?"

"In this way, your sect leader is really unkind. Shen Fengming sneered, "I know that your father and son haven't seen each other for so long, but I just spent you to make you miss it-King Yi's trip to Beijing is a lot of work, and I don't know when the next time will be, tsk, he is not afraid that Cheng Zuo will hate him." ”

Cheng Fang was a little silent. He admitted that if he knew that there was a chance to meet Cheng Ping, he would definitely choose someone else to lead the crowd to Jiankang and his party. However, he was not completely incapable of understanding Tuobagu's intentions. I didn't think that Huo Xin, the right envoy, was still there, but in fact, the Qinglong Sect had already faced the most green and yellow situation in more than ten years. Tuoba is lonely and enjoys the fame of the rivers and lakes, only Shan Jiquan and himself, the old man is passing away, and there is no new person. To put it mildly, Shan Jiquan and himself can be regarded as "lack of successors" - Shan Yiyi or Cheng Ping, even if they are still there today, they are not outstanding in the hands of martial arts attainments or commanders. Shan Yiheng and Yifei are still young, although the future is unpredictable, it is difficult to take on a big responsibility at the moment, and they don't even have a second descendant, if you really want to count it, it is still Huo Xin's adopted son many years ago who stands out among the younger generation, but he is introverted, and he is even more reluctant to deal with people after Huo Xin's death, and the right envoy can't serve the public for a while. Like the Jiangnan Martial Arts Society, such a place where the heroes gather, although the rivers and lakes are still afraid of the name of the Qinglong Sect, if it is found that Tuoba Gu has not come in person, he will probably have to change it secretly, if the person who comes is not even one of them Shan and Cheng, I am afraid that the Dongshui Alliance will not only not be afraid of Xia Chen, but will look down on him more and more.

In addition to really thinking about Xiajiazhuang, more importantly, or Tuoba Gu didn't want the Qinglong Sect to be absent from this conference-absent from Jiangnan Martial Arts.

Looking back, in the past ten years, the Qinglong Sect has been backed by the capital Lin'an, deterring Huainan, and the black and white roads have been detoured, one is to rely on the name of the "first master" that Tuoba Gu won in the two battles of Mingyue Villa and Vermilion Bird Villa, and the other is also somewhat related to the "first village in the south of the Yangtze River". Tuoba Gu's friendship with Xia Zheng over the years is obvious to all, the so-called "one is prosperous, one is lost", even if the relationship between the two sides is not as close as others think, but after many years, it is not so easy to get rid of it. The Eastern Water Alliance still hoped not to alarm the big tree of Tuoba Gu, so it bypassed the Qinglong Sect and did not post. But if Xiajiazhuang is a tiger in Pingyang, the Qinglong Sect will not be able to stand alone-the more times like this, the more Tuoba Gu will dare not abandon it, right?

Shen Fengming saw that Cheng Fangyue was thinking more and more silently, only saying what answer he was brewing, sneered, and was about to speak again, when the north window suddenly opened with a "bang", but it was the wind howling, pushing the unclosed window open, and a burst of cold air poured into the house, wandering away wantonly.

"The wind is blowing. Xia Po, who was closest to him, walked to close the window, but Shen Fengming had already grabbed the window. No matter how strong the north wind is, it won't push open the north window from the inside out. He looked out alertly, and at first glance he saw something's in the lattice.

"Huh. Shaper saw it, too. The sky was overcast, and the sun was dark, but I could still see two pieces of jade in the gap. "This is ......"

The jade block in the dim sky lost its original sense of clarity, and only the gray color remained, but he still guessed—this should be—the jade pendant that Xia Chen had lost yesterday. It was split in half from almost the middle place, and the fracture was a little cloudy and pale white, as if to announce the creation of this porphyry, I am afraid that there is no possibility of repairing it intact.

"Hey, Brother Shen!" Before Xia Po could turn around and call Xia Chen, Shen Fengming had already swept out of the window. Shicai - Shicai, the person who took the jade pendant yesterday is outside the window. He didn't know how long he had been outside the window, and he -- and the people in this room -- didn't even realize that this person -- he had to see it.

Xia Chen chased to the window, but outside the window, there was no shadow of Shen Fengming. He picked up the two pieces of broken jade, and the cold of winter touched the palm of his hand, without the temperature of the jade, only the cold, and a little unknown ominousness.

---------

Xia Yan didn't expect that Shan Heng was still in his hands, and Shan Jiquan would spit out the word "release arrows" without hesitation.

His body tensed suddenly, and he figured it out as he prepared to deal with the rain of arrows. - Shan Jiquan knew him too well, he calculated that it was impossible for him to hurt Shan Heng, not only could not, but he would even protect him when the arrow rain came. And protecting Singheng will probably make him use more body techniques and consume more energy.

- It's just a repetition of the old tricks, playing with people's hearts!

"Shan Jiquan!" he wanted to speak, but the first arrows had arrived. Probably even those archers didn't expect Shan Jiquan to suddenly give an order, so the arrows that came first were uneven, Xia Yan hooked Shan Heng with one hand, and took off the rain hat above his head with the other.

There were not many arrows that forcefully penetrated the rain hat, but when the incident happened suddenly, Shan Heng was still stunned and did not come back to his senses. "Do you know that the unintentional death was because you were so self-righteous!" he heard Xia Yan finish what he was going to say when his footwork was finally able to pause slightly, "You think you know the minds of others, and you think that everyone in the world can be used by you, and it is because of this that you have lost your unintention, you still dare to be sure today - I really won't kill Yiheng!"

He didn't know what Xia Yan meant, and said hatefully: "You kill me, you have the ability to kill me, just like you killed my brother!"

"Shut up. Xia Yan didn't have time to say more. The second batch of arrows was near, and this time, presumably, the archers had returned to their souls, and dense and accurate arrows were gathered at him from nowhere, like iron tools being drawn to a magnet. The rain hat only blocked two or three blows before it burst open, and he threw it down, secretly mocking himself that he really didn't even carry "blood" with him. He shouted backwards: "Zhang Ting!" Zhang Ting had already ripped off the big sword on his back, puffed it up in the direction of the wind, blocked it in the direction of the wind, and pulled out the saber at his waist to block the arrow.

The arrows are too heavy and often difficult to parry, but fortunately, the arrows coming against the wind are weak and the number is small, so they will not become a threat. Xia Yan dragged Shan Heng to jump to the sparse place where the arrow fell, and wanted to draw the single knife on his waist as a backup, which material Shan Heng pressed the handle of the knife with both hands in such a dangerous situation, and refused to let him succeed.

After a moment's stalemate, two arrows rushed towards him, Xia Yan hurriedly pressed his shoulder and dodged to the side, and in a blink of an eye, the two arrows passed by. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden dull pain in his abdomen, but Shan Heng took advantage of his body and not yet stabilized, he held the knife and shrugged it back with all his might, and the scabbard spared no effort to push it against his abdomen - after all, he was a brave young man, and this time he used his ruthless strength, Xia Yan was so painful that his eyes were so black that he almost let go.

"Yi Heng ......" he gritted his teeth with great difficulty, "You don't want to die!" Shan Heng was already trying his best to twist his body to break free. "You let go, you ...... You deserve to be called 'Yiheng'!"

Xia Yan was stunned. When Thorn was by his side, he had nothing to say to him, and when he heard her mention the two younger brothers in the family, he called "Yiheng" and "Yifei" one by one, probably unconsciously regarded Shan Heng as a younger brother, but in fact, he only regarded himself as an enemy.

I was stunned for a moment, and I heard Zhang Ting exhale in my ears: "Be careful!" He endured the pain and avoided it—the boy still struggled, his arm aching slightly, and the sharp arrow whistling out a bloody streak.

Zhang Ting grabbed two steps and protected him with a knife: "This kid is troublesome, I can't take care of him at this time." ”

Xia Yan was hurriedly looking back at Shan Heng. It was very dangerous, and the shirt on the boy's chest was also torn, but fortunately he avoided it, but the texture of the underwear that was vaguely exposed, the reflection was a little weird, not like an ordinary texture.

- It turned out to be wearing soft armor.

He heard Shen Fengming mention that when he was in Dongting, he saw Shan Jiquan wearing such a special soft armor. The strange arrow grazed Shan Heng's chest diagonally, deflected so much, and then slipped away.
