Chapter 11: Sword Fight
In the blink of an eye, a year is about to pass, and the Central Plains Martial Arts and the Divine Fire Sect are safe. Old Sect Master Mu watched Xiao Muyun grow up little by little, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy, and at the same time, he kept shouting to see Lu'er, and Li Ruoqiu also missed Lu'er very much. Mu Qing was just about to go to the Central Plains to deal with some things, so she simply took Li Ruoqiu and Xiao Muyun to Shenjiazhuang to pay a visit.
When parting, Mu Zhong told in every possible way: "You must bring Lu'er back to stay for a few more days, and that Yun'er, don't put it at their house and don't bring it back, you must go early and return early." ”
A group of three people embarked on the journey, and the journey was also smooth, and it took about half a month to reach the Shen Mansion smoothly. Old Man Shen learned that Mu Qing had brought Yun'er to see him, and hurriedly went out to greet him. The first thing I did when I first entered the house was to take out Lu'er and compare it together, and said to Wu Xiaoyun: "I said, old woman, who do you think these two babies are more like my family?"
Wu Xiaoyun looked at it for a long time and shook her head: "I think it's all alike, but it's not like it, I think the two children look quite similar." ”
"It's a vain to ask you. ”
"Dad, it's been more than a year, why are you still struggling with this issue, this issue is not important now, the important thing is that our Shen family and the Mu family should treat these two children equally. Shen Feng looked at his father's appearance and smiled.
Shen Yi hurriedly said: "This is nature, this is nature, it must be treated equally, but when these two children grow up and their appearance grows up, if they can be clearly distinguished, it is better to figure it out." ”
"Uncle, don't worry, if you can distinguish it in a few years, if you make a mistake, we should swap it, if it's right, we will all be happy, if you still can't tell the difference, I think it's good, you have two grandchildren who can honor you in the future, isn't it a good thing?"
Shen Yi laughed: "What I said is, what I said is, it's still Xiao Muqing who can speak, come back, stay for a few more days, let me and Yun'er be close and close, okay, you young people talk, I will play with the old woman with two children." After that, he and Wu Xiaoyun walked out of the courtyard door with one in their arms.
"Big brother, I haven't seen him for a year, and my little brother misses it very much. Mu Qing rushed forward and hugged Shen Feng.
Li Ruoqiu took Lu Ying's hand and grinned: "Two big men, their feelings are so easy to expose. ”
Lu Ying said with a smile: "They haven't seen each other for a year, you and I haven't seen each other for a year, let them talk here, you come to my house to tell me about Yun'er, and I will also tell you about Lu'er." ”
Shen Feng and Mu Qing were left in the hall, and Mu Qing said: "Big brother, how do you feel about being the leader of the martial arts alliance this year?"
Shen Feng sighed: "Just one word, tired, I sometimes have to go to judge the big and small disputes in this martial arts, this year is simply busier than my past ten years, and after the martial arts conference, Cheng Yu and the Cang faction are still shouting to attack the Shenhuo Sect, I know it with reason, move it with affection, and the effect is still very little, and then I was really angry, I angrily scolded them for not taking me, the leader of the martial arts alliance, and almost did it, and they relented." ”
"For the safety of my Divine Fire Sect, it's really hard work, big brother. ”
Shen Feng waved his hand: "I'm thinking about both sides, how about you?"
"My second uncle still advocated the first strike, but my father suppressed it. ”
"Well, you must always pay attention to your second uncle's movements and the expansion of his influence in the sect, and if there are bad signs, you must snuff out the signs. On my side, I expect that the Cheng family and the Diancang faction will not give up, and I will always pay attention to their movements. ”
"With Brother Lao, you and I will work hard to keep both sides in a state of peace. ”
Shen Feng paused for a few seconds and said: "In the past year, I have searched for the whereabouts of that Sima Ling, but he seems to have evaporated from the world, and he has never appeared on the rivers and lakes again, and even someone has offered a high price to recruit a killer and has never seen him go." It's a strange thing. ”
"Big brother, what do you want to do with him, do you still want to find out about Lu'er and Yun'er?"
"That's not it, now, I regard Lu'er and Yun'er as my own, I just want to find out what is the real purpose of his Sima Ling kidnapping you and my child a year ago?"
"Big brother's palm back then wouldn't have killed him, right?"
"No, although I was furious at that time, and I used all my strength with that palm, with Sima Ling's internal strength, I could only recover after a few months of rest. ”
This is strange, maybe he was injured by his eldest brother's two strokes and lost face, with his arrogant character, it is not impossible that he no longer wants to walk on the rivers and lakes. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about him, this time I'm not just here to bring Yun'er for us to see, right?"
Mu Qing scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "This time I came here for a single business in the Central Plains, not to hide it from my eldest brother, and it is not a big business, just send an experienced person from the sect, mainly because my old man wants to meet Lu'er." ”
"What's so difficult about this, when you're done, you will bring the two children back, and in a month, I will go and pick up Lu'er, Mu Lao Sect Master is famous, and Shen is also going to see him now. ”
"You don't have to bring both of them back, Yun'er just let the eldest brother here, and when the eldest brother goes, you can bring Yun'er back. ”
"No, that's not appropriate, now that the two children are in my Shen Mansion, naturally let the two children stay in your Shenhuo Sect for a while, otherwise I will be suspected of taking Yun'er as a hostage." ”
Mu Qing hurriedly said, "Big brother, I've never thought about it like this. ”
"The eldest brother knows that you put all the children in me shows your trust in me, and the eldest brother also trusts the virtuous brother, so it is not inappropriate to let all the children go to you. ”
"But, won't Yun'er stay with her uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law for a few more days?"
"Don't you have to do something? Ten days and half a month is enough. ”
"Okay, it's all up to Big Brother!"
It only took Mu Qing two days to get the matter done in the sect, and another month to privately find the whereabouts of Sima Ling, the number one killer in the Central Plains, he didn't tell Shen Feng about this matter, and even his wife Li Ruoqiu didn't say a word, but there was no progress in this matter in the past month, and Sima Ling seemed to have evaporated from the world. Mu Qing had no choice but to give up, firstly, the affairs of the sect were busy, and secondly, the old sect leader Mu was also anxious to see his other grandson, and Mu Qing had to take Li Ruoqiu and the two children on the way home.
At the time of parting, Li Ruoqiu was very reluctant to Lu Ying: "Sister Lu, I have lived with you for a month, I am really reluctant to leave, and I don't have any confidants to chat with me after I go back, hey!"
"Sister, don't sigh, if you feel bored one day after you go back, you can come to me at any time. Lu Ying comforted Li Ruoqiu, and wanted to tell Li Ruoqiu to take good care of Lu'er, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not atmospheric enough, so she endured the words when she came to her mouth.
Mu Qing hugged her fists at Shen Feng, and Lu Ying said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, we will treat Lu'er well, and ensure that the whiter and fatter ones will be sent back to you." ”
"The child is with you, we are very relieved, next month I will go to visit the old sect leader of Xia Mu, and I will not go to Brother Xian again. ”
"Okay, big brother, sister-in-law, there will be a period later. ”
Here the Divine Fire Sect Leader Mu Zhong and his wife have been looking forward to it for nearly two months, and finally they are looking forward to their other grandson, the second elder looked at the two big fat boys and couldn't close their mouths happily, Mu Zhong even called Mu Ren and Mu Yi over, and asked them to help distinguish which one is more like the flesh and blood of their Mu family.
Mu Yi looked at it carefully for a long time, shook his head and said: "The children are still too young to tell the difference, but these two children are very handsome, and they must be talented characters when they grow up." ”
Mu Ren continued: "This is really difficult to tell, big brother, how can the descendants of our Mu family be so unclear, if this little green child is the son of Qing'er, but let that Shen Feng raise it, what is the matter, if you want me to say, just leave the two children, there is always one right." ”
Mu Qing was anxious: "Second uncle, how can you do this, Brother Shen trusts me a lot, I said that my father misses the child, and they asked me to bring the child back without saying a word, doesn't you make me lose my trust in doing this?"
Mu Ren was not to be outdone: "The second uncle is also good for you and for our Mu family, how can you give your children to others for no reason." ”
"Second brother, that Shen Feng is now the leader of the martial arts alliance in the Central Plains, he is willing to hand over the child alone to Qing'er to bring me to teach, which shows the deep friendship between him and Qing'er, and secondly, it also shows his attitude and sincerity towards my teaching, and it also shows his generosity, how can we do such a small thing, this will not affect the reputation of my sect, but also lead to greater incidents. ”
"yes, yes, it's too unfair for you to leave both children behind. Mu Yi echoed.
"Okay, okay, you're all right, just my Muren has a small belly and chicken intestines, selfish, look at it, when Shen Feng comes to attack us in the future, maybe it will be your grandson who will bring it." Mu Ren angrily brushed his sleeves away.
"Second uncle, second uncle. Mu Qing was waiting to catch up.
Mu Zhong called out to him: "Forget it, let him go, hey, he's always so belligerent." ”
Mu Ren's anger was still gone, and he had nowhere to vent, so he came to the training ground, only to see that He Jun, the master of the Scorching Sun Hall, was training soldiers. This hall master of the Scorching Sun Hall is also a belligerent, so he is very close to Mu Ren on weekdays, but he can't talk about any henchmen, but Mu Zhong doesn't like him very much, he can only find Mu Ren as a backer, or his hall master may not be able to sit today.
Seeing Mu Ren's face full of anger, He Jun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Second master, I see that your face is wrong, what happened to you?"
Mu Ren told him what had just happened.
He Jun was furious when he heard this: "This big master and the young master are really confused!"
Mu Ren let out a long sigh.
He Jun thought for a while, and said to Mu Ren: "My subordinates have a way to solve the worries of the second master, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"It's okay for you to say it directly, don't ask for mother-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
He Jun whispered: "Isn't this Shen Feng's son here now, let's find an opportunity to give this little doll to us, and then..." He Jun made a decapitation gesture.
Mu Ren was already angry, and when he heard this, he was even more angry, and before He Jun finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped him, and said angrily: "Bastard thing, don't say that the little doll is likely to be the blood of my Mu family, even if it is not, although I Mu Ren is not a decent family, I am not an evil demon, I can attack a little doll." Something that doesn't succeed enough, but loses more than anything!"
He Jun covered half of his red face and hurriedly said: "My subordinates were unhappy when they saw the second master, and they lost their words for a while, and I didn't mean that, I mean, can I leave the little doll behind, anyway, it may be the child of the young master, so I just left the two dolls in me to teach." ”
"That's it, that's not something I can decide. With that, Mu Ren brushed his sleeves and left.
He Jun touched his hot cheeks and stared viciously at Mu Ren's distant back.
It is said that it has been almost two months since Lu'er opened Shenjiazhuang, and the old man Shen felt that the days were lifeless all day long, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he urged Shen Feng to hurry up to the Shenhuo Sect to take Lu'er back, so as not to have a long night and many dreams, and cause any trouble. Shen Feng couldn't resist the old man, and he also missed his children, so he was busy with some trivial matters, so he went straight to the Divine Fire Sect.
After about half a month of bumps along the way, Shen Feng came to the Divine Fire Sect, and before he entered the gate of the Divine Fire Sect, Shen Feng was attracted by the surrounding scenery. The guards guarding the door were also in good spirits, with red faces. Shen Feng revealed his identity and showed his intention, and the doorman hurried to report, and after a while, he saw a group of people coming from the sect.
"Big brother, big brother. Shen Feng heard Mu Qing's shout in the distance. Seeing that the young master had spoken, the doorman hurriedly said, "Shen Daxia, please come in." ”
Shen Feng walked in quickly, only to see Mu Qing running with a smile on his face, followed by three elders.
Mu Qing was happy when she saw Shen Shiwai: "Big brother, I finally looked forward to you, how about it, brother, my environment is not bad, right?"
"Here the water and the sky are connected, the harmony is one color, surrounded by the mountains and rivers, the water and the mountains are quiet and pleasant, the smoke and waves are vast, it is very charming, if I live for a long time, I am afraid that I will not miss it. ”
"Shen Daxia praised it falsely, which place is more rich than the Central Plains. Mu Zhong said.
"Big brother, let me introduce, this is my father, and here are my second and third uncles. ”
Shen Feng hugged his fists and said: "The juniors have seen three seniors. ”
"Shen Daxia doesn't have to be polite, Shen Daxia can be qualified for the high position of the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance at a young age, and Qing'er is even more respectful of Shen Daxia.
"My uncle has an overreputation, and the younger generation and Mu Qing are called brothers, so my uncle calls me Feng'er. ”
Before Mu Zhong could speak, Mu Ren hurriedly said: "Then how can it be done, the dignified martial arts alliance leader of the Central Plains, how can we disrespect, I heard that the Central Plains martial arts elected Shen Daxia as the alliance leader is aimed at my Shenhuo Sect, I don't know if this matter is true." ”
"Second child, Feng'er is here to pick up Lu'er, which is equivalent to dealing with family affairs, don't talk nonsense about some irrelevant things, come, Feng'er, let's go into the house and say. Mu Zhong angrily scolded Mu Ren.
Mu Ren's face was unhappy, and it was not easy to attack, Mu Yi also pulled his shirt, meaning that he should not make a mistake, Mu Ren had to give up and follow behind stupidly.
At noon, it was a big feast, entertaining VIPs, Shen Feng was not only strong in martial arts but also knowledgeable, chatting at the banquet, knowing everything, and winning the favor of everyone, except for Mu Ren, who was drinking alcohol, Mu Zhong liked him more and more, and wanted to leave him in the sect for a few more days.
Shen Feng said: "Father, my mother misses Lu'er very much, I will go back today, I won't stay, and I will come to disturb my uncle in the future." ”
Mu Zhong's face was full of regret.
"It's not okay for you to go like this, I Muren can't just let you take my Mu family's children away. Mu Ren said with the strength of the wine.
"Second brother, don't go crazy after drinking a little wine, and talk nonsense. Mu Zhong said angrily.
"You don't care about me, your own grandson is not innocent, I don't want to, my Mu family's children, I have to stay. ”
The scene was very embarrassing for a while, Mu Qing couldn't persuade him, Mu Zhong was even more angry and wanted to beat Mu Ren, but was stopped by everyone.
Shen Feng clenched his fists and said to Mu Ren: "Second uncle, this kid's mistake was an accident, at first we didn't want to see it, but later we saw it as the will of heaven, Mu Qing and I have already regarded the two children as a gift from God to me from the Central Plains Martial Arts and the Divine Fire Sect, why should the second uncle be obsessed with it." ”
"I don't care if it's providential, I just can't let you take the child away so casually today. ”
"Then how can the second uncle let me take the child away?"
"I heard that your Shen Feng sword technique is alone in the Central Plains martial arts, in this way, you and I are fighting with swords, comparing and comparing, you win, I Mu Ren don't say a word, send you out of the city. ”
"Presumptuous, people are guests. Mu Zhongqi's face turned from red to white.
"Uncle, don't be angry, since the second uncle insists on this, I am willing to fulfill the second uncle's wishes, but I have a request, I don't know if the second uncle can agree. Shen Feng turned his head to Mu Ren and said.
"You say. ”
"You and I don't fight for life and death, I don't see blood, until the point is reached, we all use wood and swords to compete, you see how it is. ”
"It's okay, but you brought it up, it's not that I'm afraid!"
"Well said, well said. ”
