Chapter 948: Now is not what it used to be (2)
Time passes, things are not people.
I have to say that since Teng Sanshi reunited with Xiao Zhirou's father and daughter, and learned that Yun Chaiyue was his long-lost son, his confidence in the rivers and lakes has become more and more sufficient. Even in the face of Jin Jianwu's "blame", he can deal with it calmly and easily.
If it was before, Teng Sanshi would not dare to fight against Jin Jianwu in a grand manner.
In fact, it was not Teng Sanshi who was arrogant and deliberately opposed Jin Jianwu. Just because Liu Xunyi's biological father is Luo Tianjin, and Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu have been sworn enemies for many years, Liu Xunyi in the past has also repeatedly contradicted the people of Jin Jianwu. Teng Sanshi took care of his grandson, and had to draw a line with Jin Jianwu as soon as possible, so as not to have a gap between Liu Xunyi and himself in the future.
Moreover, although Luo Tianjin is sanctimonious and unpunished, he always has a sense of guilt towards Teng Sanshi. For more than 20 years, the Renxian Wangfu was in the ascendant in the rivers and lakes, and the King of Beixian was famous and powerful, but he never made any trouble to the Teng people in Xiangxi.
What's more, even though he was sneered at by Teng Sanshi in public, Luo Tianjin just buried his head in silence and never contradicted a word.
Coupled with a turmoil in the martial arts conference, Luo Tianjin justified the names of Longxiang Mountain and Desperate Valley, and indirectly matched their father and daughter to recognize each other and reunite father and son. Eclectic promoted Teng Sanshi to the deputy leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts, and his status in the rivers and lakes surpassed the heads of various factions in one fell swoop, and he was directly on an equal footing with the "martial arts master" Qingfeng.
All of the above are Luo Tianjin's compensation for the Xiangxi Teng people.
Today, Teng Sanshi's family is reunited, and Luo Tianjin eats the consequences, so deep in Teng Sanshi's heart, his resentment towards Luo Tianjin has gradually faded.
Especially after he learned that his grandson and granddaughter were Luo Tianjin's biological flesh and blood, Teng Sanshi not only no longer hated Luo Tianjin, but instead had a trace of indescribable pity and pity for his tragic experience.
He didn't regret Luo Tianjin's life or death, but pity his grandson for losing his father's love.
If Luo Tianjin lives in the world, he may not be able to bring happiness to Xiao Zhirou's mother and son, but ...... At least he won't let his son fall into the embarrassing situation where everyone shouts and beats.
"Miss Teng's words...... Song was a little incomprehensible. After hesitating again and again, Song Yu, who was in a state of confusion, tried to quibble, "Jin Jianwu and the Teng clan in Xiangxi have always been friends with each other, so why talk about 'the head of the horse is looking forward'?" Miss Teng said this...... The two of us were so scared that we couldn't afford it. ”
"Song Gongzi is known as the 'God Operator', and he can be described as a first-class smart person. Teng Cang said with a smile, "Since you are a smart person, why should you pretend to be confused? My family patriarch has a painful word, and everyone has one thing to say and two things to say, and no one has to hide it." ”
"This ......"
"That's good!" Without waiting for Song Yu to be entangled, Leng Yiyi, who couldn't bear it, suddenly spoke, "Since Patriarch Teng is refreshing, then we will no longer be subtle." With all due respect, most of the people invited by the Teng patriarch to the banquet were the people who appeared in the Xianwang Mansion last year. In other words, these people have personally experienced the great changes in the Xian Wang's Mansion and witnessed the bad luck of the Northern Xian King......"
"So what?" Teng Cang frowned, and his tone became more and more unkind, "At that time, no one from the Teng clan went to the Xianwang Mansion, and the death of the Lord of the Luo League had nothing to do with us. ”
"At first glance, it does. But what is interesting is that not long ago, Patriarch Teng suddenly announced that he and Xiao Zhirou of Desperate Valley are long-lost father and daughter, and it is rumored that the rivers and lakes are ...... Xiao Zhirou and Luo Tianjin seem to be ......"
"What do you want to say?" Teng Cang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said angrily, "Could it be that you suspect that the death of the Lord of the Luo League is related to the Xiangxi Teng clan?"
"Elder Teng doesn't need to be angry, we're just a little curious. Seeing that Leng Yiyi and Teng Cang were getting more and more stiff, Song Yu hurriedly spoke, "As we all know, Patriarch Teng has always looked down on Luo Tianjin's character, and has denounced Luo Tianjin as a despicable and shameless hypocrite in front of my dock master more than once. But now...... Why are you so interested in his death?"
After a big circle, I finally said what was in my heart. Presumably, this is the real purpose of your coming here, right?" Teng Sanshi snorted and asked instead of answering, "Who told you that the old man was interested in Luo Tianjin's death?"
"If it weren't for Luo Tianjin, why would Patriarch Teng have frequent secret meetings with Kunlun, Kongtong, and Tangmen?" Song Yu rolled his eyes and said slyly, "Patriarch Teng, don't tell me...... Everything is just a coincidence. ”
"A wise man is a wise man, and he is as God as he is. Without waiting for Song Yu to take advantage of the situation to ask, Teng Sanshi replied absentmindedly, "Yes, it's just a coincidence." It's like last year's day was Luo Tianjin's death taboo, and it was also a coincidence. ”
"This ......"
Teng Sanshi was so straightforward and perfunctory, Song Yu couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He wanted to find a hint of wonder from Teng Sanshi's explanation, but unexpectedly, Teng Sanshi didn't even bother to cover it up, and directly fooled himself with a nonsense that even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe.
"We treat each other with sincerity, but Patriarch Teng is vain. Seemingly...... The Teng clan in Xiangxi no longer plans to recognize Jin Jianwu's friend?" Leng Yiyi didn't have Song Yu's mind, Teng Sanshi's contempt made him angry, and he asked in a deep voice without hesitation, "Isn't it that the Teng patriarch found his daughter and climbed the 'new friend' of the Valley of Despair, so he forgot about his 'old friend'?"
"The Xiangxi Teng clan is the Xiangxi Teng clan, and they never need to make friends with anyone. Teng Cang refuted, "Zhirou is the valley master of the Desperate Valley, and she is also the eldest lady of the Teng clan in Xiangxi. How can the kinship and blood relationship of flesh and blood be comparable to outsiders?"
"What does Elder Teng mean by ...... Jin Jianwu is an outsider?"
"Could it be that you are 'insiders'?" Teng Qin'er sneered, full of sarcasm.
"You ......"
"That's it!"
Seeing that you said a word and I said a word on both sides, the war of words intensified, Teng Sanshi couldn't help frowning, and said to Teng Cang and Teng Qin'er seriously: "When people ask a question, you choke a word, is it a gift for hospitality?"
"Patriarch ......"
"Shut up!"
Teng Sanshi didn't give Teng Cang and Teng Qin'er a chance to defend, but instead turned his secretive gaze to Song Yu and Leng Yiyi, who were resentful, and apologized with a smile: "The old man has no way to discipline him, so the two of them laughed." ”
"Don't dare!" Song Yu seemed to be unwilling, so he showed weakness to Teng Sanshi, "The master of my family has always admired the character of the Teng patriarch, and often admonished us to take our predecessors as an example. To tell the truth, among the four great families of martial arts, Jin Jianwu attaches the most importance to the Xiangxi Teng clan. The heartfelt words of the owner of my family are: 'Although the two of us had some unpleasant trouble because of some misunderstandings at the martial arts conference, small things will never affect our friendship for more than ten years. No matter what trouble the Teng clan encounters, and no matter what the Teng patriarch has done...... Or what do you want to do? But if necessary, Jin Jianwu must take care of each other and follow each other. ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the Jinwu master, the old man understands and is grateful. It's just that everything is normal for the Xiangxi Teng clan and there is no trouble. Teng Sanshi thought matter-of-factly, "The old man is getting older and older, and he no longer wants any fame and fortune in the few days he has left, he just wants to enjoy the joy of family life in peace and live a few days of leisurely life without quarrel with the world." In his spare time, he played chess, practiced calligraphy, and fished...... That's enough. Pray that the Lord of the Golden Dock will be fulfilled. ”
"This ......"
Looking at the relics and the three stones that returned to the basics, Song Yu and Leng Yiyi couldn't help but glance at each other, hesitating without dissatisfaction, and in a dilemma.
"The elders of the Teng clan should be strong and strong, and they are martial arts giants, how can they easily retreat?" Seeing that Teng San's oil and salt did not enter, Song Yu was depressed but helpless, and sighed, "No matter what the predecessors plan, my family master will definitely support it." ”
"So good......
Before the words fell, Teng Sanshi suddenly raised his hand and waved his arm, and another big fish broke out of the water, which immediately attracted a burst of applause from the disciples of the Teng clan.
"If you continue to fish like this, tonight's meal will have to be a 'Hundred Fish Feast'. ”
"The fish is delicious and delicious, and the 100 fish feast is also very nourishing. ”
"Haha......"
With Teng Cang and Teng Qin'er singing and harmonizing, Teng Sanshi hung up the bait again, immersed in a new round of fishing with great interest, and seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of Song Yu and Leng Yiyi.
At this moment, Song Yu and the others were like two pieces of wood poking at the shore of Baicui Lake in a daze. For a while, opening is not, not opening is not. It's not to go, it's not to go. looked at each other, stared at each other, and the scene was very embarrassing.
To put it nicely, Teng Sanshi didn't treat them as outsiders. To put it mildly, Teng Sanshi didn't take them seriously at all.
Teng Sanshi and a few people talked and laughed, but ignored Song Yu and Leng Yiyi. Hang them like that...... How awkward it is.
"Patriarch Teng ......"
Song Yu stopped Leng Yiyi, who wanted to speak without a trace, and then bowed his hand to Teng Sanshi to resign: "Since it is rare for the Teng patriarch to live for half a day, then...... We don't bother too much anymore. ”
"Tonight's 'Hundred Fish Feast' ......"
"Forgive us for what is happening, and I am afraid that we will not be blessed. Song Yu smiled bitterly, "If there is a chance...... We would like to invite Patriarch Teng and all of you to taste the delicious food of Jingjiang. ”
"It's okay!" Teng Sanshi nodded briskly without reluctance, "Since you are in charge, the old man will no longer be forced to stay." Teng Cang, send off the guest for me. ”
"Obey!" Teng Cang gladly took the order, "Two, please come with me." ”
"Patriarch Teng, I'll take my leave!"
"The two of you are going well, and I will not send you far. ”
After a period of greetings that were better than nothing, the distraught Song Yu dragged the indignant Leng Yiyi and hurriedly left following Tengcang's footsteps.
However, when they were about to walk out of Baicui Lake, they saw two Teng disciples leading a black-faced man who was over fifty years old and had a sturdy figure to meet them.
The black-faced man was solemn and restrained, and his hands were tightly clutched in a finely carved sandalwood box, which seemed to be of great value.
The two sides met head-on, and the two disciples and the black-faced man quickly stepped aside and bowed respectfully to Teng Cang.
Teng Cang's footsteps did not stop, and he led Song Yu and Leng Yiyi to pass by them. Because the two sides did not know each other, and they had their own hearts, although they took a face-to-face meeting, no one paid attention.
"The gifts have been prepared, and the two of them are to be handed over to the Golden Dock Master. ”
"We've thanked the dock master in advance. ”
"The two of them came suddenly and left in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea, which is really ...... Poor hospitality. Forgive the sins!" Teng Cang pretended to be guilty, "The mountain roads in Jingjiang are rugged and the waterways are turbulent, so take care of the two of you." ”
"Elder Teng, take care!"
Now that the matter has come to this, what is the use of hypocrisy?
At this moment, Song Yu and Leng Yiyi were both sulking, and no one wanted to say more. said goodbye perfunctorily, and then led more than a dozen Jinjianwu disciples to leave, disappearing from Teng Cang's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Humph!"
As soon as Song Yu walked away, the smile on Teng Cang's face slowly dissipated, and his soft gaze gradually became disdainful. With a cold snort, he brushed his sleeves back.
