Chapter 942: Lost East
On November 23, the frost fell on Jingjiang Mansion, and the snow covered the Jiumo Cliff.
In the morning, Jin Fuyu, who was dressed in purple and gold, sat silently in the Qingtian Pavilion, leaning on the fence sideways, and a pair of shining eyes quietly looked at the mountains and rivers of the Li River covered in silver. The cold wind whistled and the snowflakes fluttered in his face, but he was as still as a clay sculpture and did not move.
A delicate stove carved with a dragon and a phoenix stands in the Qingtian Pavilion, with cigarette smoke curling, escaping bursts of warmth and exuding wisps of fragrance at the same time, which makes people feel refreshed and comfortable.
At this moment, Song Yu, Leng Yiyi, Ding Ao, and Dong Xiao'er were separated, all of them with solemn thoughts and tangled eyes. In addition to them, there were two trembling and submissive people kneeling in the center.
These two people are Ji Hou and Fuyin who returned to Jingjiang Mansion from Shenzhou.
In fact, they had arrived at Jinjianwu yesterday afternoon, but when they asked to see Jin Fuyu, they were closed.
knew that if he returned to Jingjiang Mansion from Shenzhou without authorization, he would inevitably displease Jin Fuyu. Ji Hou and Fuyin were secretly worried, so they sought a way to reconcile with Song Yu.
Song Yu's advice to them was: "The dock master likes to meditate in the Qingtian Pavilion, if you want to see the dock master, why don't you go to the Qingtian Pavilion to wait?"
Song Yu's words made Ji Hou and Fu Yin Mao suddenly open, and the two of them came to Qingtian Pavilion yesterday evening, and knelt here all night to show their sincerity.
This morning, Jin Fuyu came belatedly, but he still turned a blind eye to their hospitality.
After breakfast, I sat by the river and didn't say a word for nearly two hours. Not only did it make Ji Hou and Fu Yin's chests blocked, but they also imagined. At the same time, Song Yu, Leng Yiyi, Ding Ao, and Dong Xiao'er, who were waiting, were stabbed in their backs, and they couldn't sit still.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, Jin Fuyu, who was deep in thought, let out a light cough, which made Leng Yiyi and Dong Xiao'er, who were in deep thought, change their faces. The two hurriedly stepped forward, one left and one right, one handed hot tea, and the other handed Jinpa.
"You say that you are brave and faithful, but you are 'making your own claims.'" You are said to be capricious, but you are 'walking the talk.' Don't...... This is the rule taught by Peach Blossom Sword Island?"
With a plain question, Jin Fuyu slowly turned his head, and a pair of secretive eyes silently examined Ji Hou and Fuyin who were looking at each other. After pondering for a while, he still seemed to be unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, and said: "You are the predecessors of the rivers and lakes who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, why are you being led by the nose by Tang Afu now? ”
"Master of the dock, Tang Afu swore to us that he had his own plan and did not want outsiders to stir things up. We knew that he was the key person sent by the dock master to assassinate Liu Xunyi, so we didn't dare to fight with him...... Coupled with the fact that the 'Ruthless Swordsman' is notorious, it is expected that this person will not go back on his word......"
"Bad name?"
Before Ji Hou finished speaking, Jin Fuyu suddenly let out an intriguing laugh. He casually pointed at Ding Ao, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared without a trace. The rapid change of attitude made Ji Hou and Fu Yin feel like falling into the abyss, and their hearts went up and down.
"Read it to them!"
"What?"
"Obey!" Before Ji Hou and Fuyin, who were confused in their thoughts, were shocked, Ding Ao had already given up his hand, so he took out a letter from his sleeve and read it expressionlessly, "The master of Jinwu is like meeting, Tang boasts that he can take the head of Liu Xunyi with the strength of one person, but he is not good at learning and skills, and his skills are not as good as others, even if he tries his best, he is still not his opponent." Prevarication, don't dare to say more. Tang was powerless to return to the sky, heartbroken, ashamed of the gentleman's covenant, ashamed of the blood alliance. Today's success is a failure, and I am overwhelmed with self-grief, so I hope that you will find another master, and the old grievances of the Tang family will no longer bother Your Excellency. Since then, the mountains and rivers have been far away, and you ...... There is no end to the rivers and lakes. ”
"Shhh
When Ji Hou and Fu Yin heard that what Ding Ao was reading was actually Tang Afu's letter, their hearts couldn't help but "chuckle", and their faces instantly became extremely ugly.
"This ...... It's ......"
"This is Tang Afu's handwritten letter, more than the two of you...... Arrive at the Golden Sword Dock first. Ding Ao said lightly, "As for the meaning of the letter...... Presumably, both of them heard it clearly, and the old man didn't need to say more. ”
"This ......"
Ji Hou and Fuyin never expected that they kept their promise to Tang Afu, and instead of getting twice the result with half the effort, they ...... Naught.
"It's a 'mountains and rivers are far away, and the rivers and lakes are indefinite'. Jin Fuyu asked with a smile, "Can you tell me what exactly is meant by 'indefinite rivers and lakes'? Tang Afu has never been finished, and he reneged on the agreement between us, but instead of a trace of guilt, he sent me away with a false letter and a few innocuous words, what is this? Who was sure that the 'ruthless swordsman' would not go back on his word? Who patted his chest and assured me that Tang Afu would definitely be able to retrieve Liu Xunyi's head? You are full of confidence to reap the benefits of the fisherman, thinking that you have a plan, and as a result, others are on the verge of rebellion, this is ...... What is it?"
"Master Wu, if we had known that Tang Afu was such a despicable villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would not have left Shenzhou if he said anything at the beginning. The matter ...... The fault is that we have no eyes, and we are easily deceived by Tang Afu's rhetoric, and dare to ask the dock master to punish the crime!"
Ji Hou and Fu Yin, who realized it later, finally realized that they were being played by Tang Afu like a monkey, and they were immediately ashamed and angry, and their fists clenched. If it weren't for Jin Fuyu's affection, it would not be good to attack on the spot, but I was afraid that the two of them would have already scolded.
The rivers and lakes have long been different from what they used to be, and the "thieves also have a way" that Jihou and Fuyin abide by in today's rivers and lakes will not be bought, but on the contrary, they show their pedantry and become the laughing stock of the world.
"You told me last night that Tang Afu was young and vigorous, and he didn't know how to speak. Song Yu said in a deep voice, "He said, 'Peach Blossom Sword Island has been lonely all year round, and you two have been comfortable for many years, and after a long time of neglecting the battle formation, it is inevitable that you will rest on your laurels and the old horse will stumble." It sounded a bit harsh at the time, but now it sounds very painful. It's just that your repeated mistakes are by no means 'human nature', but 'unforgivable sins'!"
As for this, Song Yu's eyes were cold, and he proposed to Jin Fuyu with righteous words: "Ji Hou and Fuyin listened to Tang Afu's demagogy first, and disobeyed the order of the dock master, and it was a big mistake, and the crime is unforgivable." In my opinion, the two of them should be beheaded for public display, and their bodies should be hung at the mountain gate for seven days and seven nights to set an example!"
"Shhh
Song Yu's ruthlessness not only made Ji Hou and Fu Yin's hearts tighten, but also surprised Leng Yiyi, Ding Ao, and Dong Xiao'er. For a while, everyone's eyes invariably turned to Jin Fuyu, who was calm and calm.
From beginning to end, Jin Fuyu's expression was neither yin nor yang, his tone was neither happy nor sad, and his meaningful eyes kept looking back and forth around Ji Hou and Fuyin, as if he was considering Song Yu's statement, and seemed to weigh his own gains and losses.
"There is never a pie in the sky. After being silent for a long time, Jin Fuyu said quietly, "In the final analysis, it was my idea to get rid of Liu Xunyi with the help of Tang Afu. Ji Hou and Fu Yin didn't dare to fight with him, because they were worried about ruining my plan. As for Tang Afu's temper...... You have all seen that he is still unruly in front of me, let alone facing Ji Hou and Fuyin? The remaining two percent...... They are half each with Tang Afu. Song Yu, if you want to behead them for public display, I, as the culprit, ...... Isn't it to expose the corpses to the wilderness?"
Song Yu trembled in fright, and hurriedly explained: "Dock master, I don't have this intention in the next step......
"It's just a joke, you don't have to take it seriously. Jin Fuyu interrupted Song Yu's defense, and then turned his gaze to Ji Hou and Fuyin, who were secretly relieved, and changed his words, "Having said that, you are making your own decisions after all. If I turn a blind eye, how can I stand up to the other disciples? Therefore, I will now give you two paths, and you can choose one of them. First, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. According to the rules of Jin Jianwu, those who disobey the order will be cut off one hand and one foot at the least, and cut off by the person at the worst. Remember that you are a first-time offender, and let it be a misdemeanor. ”
"Dock master, we ......"
"Don't worry!" Jin Fuyu smiled indifferently, waved his hand to interrupt Ji Hou and Fuyin, who were sincerely afraid, and said unhurriedly, "Both, make meritorious service and make up for the merits." Liu Xunyi slipped out from under your noses, and it was up to you to take his head back. However, Qingfeng is still helpless against the power of the Central Plains Martial Arts, and it is up to you to ...... I'm afraid it's even more difficult. Therefore, I have decided to settle for the next best thing and give you another option. ”
"The dock master means ......"
"Tang Afu!" Jin Fuyu replied frankly, "As long as you can retrieve Tang Afu's head, I can not blame the past for the affairs of Shenzhou." ”
"Why did the dock master kill Tang Afu?"
"Because he provokes people who should not be provoked and who cannot be provoked. Leng Yiyi replied to Fu Yin's curiosity for Jin Fuyu, and his tone was as gloomy as ice, "The dock master just said that Tang Afuxiu wanted to send us away with a false letter and a few innocuous greetings. Since he chose to be treacherous, it is no wonder that we are ruthless. Even if it is just to export evil anger, Tang Afu must pay the price of blood. ”
"You have to let him know that Jinjianwu is not a place where he can come and go whenever he wants. Not to be outdone, Dong Xiao'er added.
"Got it......"
"Nonsense!" Jin Fuyu frowned slightly, his face displeased, "The grievances of the rivers and lakes are not children's quarrels, how can they be rash? If it is only to vent evil anger, I will never kill him." Tang Afu was Xiao Zhirou's apprentice after all, and killed him...... The Valley of Despair will be inseparable from us. ”
"Why does the dock master ......?"
"Because Tang Afu's head is in the eyes of some people...... It is far more valuable than Liu Xunyi's head. Jin Fuyu said lightly, "Since Tang Afu can't get Liu Xunyi's head back for me, why don't I exchange his head for a great favor?" at least...... It can make up for the energy and effort we have spent during this time. ”
"Isn't the dock master afraid of offending Xiao Zhirou?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's worth it. Jin Fuyu's eyes showed a hint of treachery, and he said meaningfully, "As the saying goes, 'clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as the old'." I prefer to deal with 'old friends' rather than Siu Tsz Rou, who I don't know all my life. If you don't kill Tang Afu, Xiao Zhirou is still a stranger and won't thank me. But if I kill Tang Afu, there will be more than one 'old friend' who will be grateful to me and generous in return. ”
