Chapter 15: The Mountain Rain is Coming
It's rare to meet a confidant in life, especially the kind of friend who can support you silently behind your back without too many words, and stand up unconditionally when you need it. A true friend is one who will always be there no matter whether you are rich or poor, even if you are not around, but when you are in trouble, he will be the first to stand up.
I didn't want to look at the crowd of people coming and going on the street, nodding and clenching fists to each other, I couldn't help but shake my head in my heart, just ask these people who seem to be brothers, how many people are worthy of their hearts, maybe they are all duplicitous, and they are just ordinary people who fly separately when disaster comes. He was still drinking the cup of tea, I don't know how long it had been, but it seemed to be still full, and it was still in his hand.
"Who is the helper?" Wuxin asked lightly, not caring about what Ruyi said just now, because he knew that Ruyi had no intention of harming Shangguan Yunjie, but this was the rule of the rivers and lakes.
Seeing that Wuxin didn't blame himself as he feared, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said, "Saibei Shuangying!"
Hearing Ruyi's answer, Wuxin was stunned for a moment, and continued to drink tea with his head down, as if he didn't pay any attention to the worry that Ruyi was hanging on his face at the moment. After a while, he said with a wry smile, "So he didn't tell me." ”
Ruyi nodded, and replied with a reluctant smile: "Maybe the enemy this time is definitely not an ordinary person, he doesn't want you to be implicated." "Saibei Shuangying is a master who has been famous outside the border for many years, and if there is revenge, it is impossible for those who are found by them to get out easily.
"But how can I be alone? Wuxin said seriously, without the slightest hesitation. He has almost no friends, except for the Ruyi in front of him, Shangguan Yunjie is left, although Shangguan Yunjie always jokes with himself and makes fun of himself, but he really regards these two people as friends, and besides, friends should be like this. What's more, the lord of Fengyun Castle is still his savior.
"I know you're going to go, that's why I dare to give them information, and I'm the kind of person who only cares about the rivers and lakes and doesn't care about my friends. Ruyi smiled self-deprecatingly and said slowly. In fact, she already knew that Wuxin was going to come back, and she had been sending people to secretly pay attention to Wuxin's movements over the years, although she always lost her traces halfway, but fortunately, Furong Hall's power was still quite wide, and she could always find out some news.
"I know. Wuxin said lightly that the friendship between the three of them is something that outsiders can't understand. One sentence I know, there are too many things.
"Originally, he wouldn't let me tell you, but I know that I can't hide it from you, and I don't want you to blame me in the future. Ruyi bit her lip and said, there seemed to be a sense of grievance in her eyes.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine, I'm here. Wuxin nodded affirmatively and said seriously.
Seeing Wuxin's firm appearance and hearing Wuxin's answer, the trace of worry on Ruyi's face disappeared, and the sentence that I am here made her heart feel a lot more steady, and the heart that was hanging gradually let go. yes, he's there......
Fengyun Castle is the head snake of the Phantom City, and it is also the most powerful, and half of the field of the Phantom City is it. In Phantom City, no one dares to say that Fengyun Castle is not, and even has great fame in the rivers and lakes, because Fengyun Castle also has power in various parts of the rivers and lakes, and its reputation is no worse than Furong Hall. Shangguan Fengyun, the lord of Fengyun Castle, is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, otherwise Fengyun Castle would not have been able to stand to this day.
At this time, Fengyun Castle has long lost the tranquility and serenity of weekdays, the fort is full of patrolling guards, and the guards around the gate and the women's wing room have also increased twice as much as usual. All over Fengyun Castle is a scene like a great enemy.
In a study room in the backyard of Fengyun Castle, a person is holding his hands behind his back, looking at a plaque on the wall of the study, with the words "Fengyun Tianxia" written on it, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, with golden hooks and iron strokes, and the morale is majestic. This person is wearing a purple gold robe, and you can vaguely see the pattern embroidered with gold thread on it, the left placket, the right placket, and the purple gold wind and cloud robe, which looks like a common demeanor, which is intimidating. It is the lord of Fengyun Castle, Shangguan Fengyun.
At this time, someone pushed the door and walked in, it was an old man, it was the housekeeper of Fengyun Castle, Cheng Yuan, he had been following Shangguan Fengyun for decades. When Cheng Yuan walked behind Shangguan Fengyun, he bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "Master, the guards in all parts of the castle have been arranged, and Madame has also sent additional manpower, just waiting for the other party to come to the door." After speaking, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Shangguan Fengyun, and continued with an embarrassed face: "But the young master insisted on staying and refused to stay for the time being, and the old slave was worried that the young master would ...... because of impulse" At this point, he stopped, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.
Shangguan Fengyun sighed and said slowly: "I know that Jie'er said that he would not leave, when did he listen to me, not to mention that now is the moment of life and death in Fengyun Castle, how can he leave, my Shangguan Fengyun's son will not be reduced to a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Stay, stay, but tonight's battle is unpredictable, we must protect the young master and Mrs., and there is no room for loss. "What kind of person is Saibei Shuangying, Shangguan Fengyun knows that they are not only strong in martial arts, but also have a strange temper, as long as the people who provoke them will not have a good ending, they will have revenge. Therefore, although Fengyun Castle is powerful, he will never dare to underestimate the enemy, otherwise he may really be defeated.
"The old slave understood. After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he gently retreated. He knew what tonight's battle meant, and he hadn't seen the castle lord so cautious for a long time, so tonight's garrison must not be lost.
As the sun went down, a new night had fallen, and the Phantom City was still as lively as ever, as if it was not known that tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night, and what was destined to happen.
In one of the rooms of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, a person stood in front of the window, tiptoeing in the direction of Fengyun Castle in the distance. Dressed in white, the person is picturesque, it is the master of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, Ruyi. At this time, her face was full of sadness, and she seemed to be extremely anxious, as if she was worried about something, or waiting for something. Originally, she also wanted to go, but she was unintentionally rejected because she didn't want her to have anything to do. So she could only hope that the night would pass sooner and that it would all end sooner......
At this time, Fengyun Castle seemed to be brightly lit and crowded, but there was a trace of tension hidden, no one laughed, no one was fighting, everyone was staring at their surroundings from front to back, left and right, with serious expressions.
In a pavilion in the courtyard, there were two people sitting and one person standing. One of the people sitting was Shangguan Yunjie, at this time he was no longer like the young master who was giggling in the morning, but became extremely cold, staring at the direction of the gate, blazing. And the other person sitting was Shangguan Yunjie's father, Shangguan Fengyun, the lord of Fengyun Castle. How to look at a purple and gold wind and cloud robe, how to make people awe-inspiring. Standing next to him was the butler of Fengyun Castle, Cheng Yuan.
At this time, Shangguan Fengyun was drinking tea with his head down, looking tense, but he didn't see any panic at all, but it made people feel leisurely, not like he should be facing a great enemy. He glanced at his son from time to time and nodded with satisfaction. He had never seen his son sit in front of him so seriously, it seemed that he had grown up and sensible.
"Master, are you sure you won't look for a helper? Now the enemy hasn't arrived yet, although it's too late for helpers from other places, but there are also some ...... in the Phantom City that we can invite" Cheng Yuan on the side didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Shangguan Fengyun waving his hand.
"The old man doesn't want to involve ordinary people, since it's a matter of Fengyun Castle, then Fengyun Castle will solve it by itself, no matter what the result is tonight. Shangguan Fengyun said without refusal. Cheng Yuan asked him to find a helper early in the morning, but he refused, he was not a person who liked to owe favors.
"Even if you call a helper, it won't help. At this moment, a vigorous voice suddenly came, resounding in every corner of Fengyun Castle, but it was nowhere to be seen.
Shangguan Fengyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this voice, he didn't expect the other party to come so soon. Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "Since you are here, why hide your head and show your tail." "What should come, will come eventually, and sometimes waiting is more uncomfortable than confronting.
As soon as the words fell, I saw three people suddenly swept in from outside the courtyard wall, jumped directly over the guards on the periphery, and landed lightly ten meters away from the pavilion. Two old men, a big man in his forties, a total of three people. There were only three people here, but they were by no means ordinary three people. Especially the two old men, although they had gray hair, beards, and green cloth clothes, they still couldn't hide the murderous aura hidden behind their eyes.
"It seems that the Lord of Shangguan Castle is fully prepared to mobilize so many people to welcome us. One of the slightly shorter old men said coldly. This person is the head of the two eagles in Saibei, the goshawk Mobei, and he is alone in the world with eagle claws.
Shangguan Fengyun smiled and said lightly: "I didn't gather them to deal with the two seniors of Saibei Shuangying, but just to prevent some chickens and dogs from stealing chickens and dogs. ”
When the three of them heard Shangguan Fengyun's words, they couldn't help frowning. Another slightly taller old man said coldly: "I didn't expect that the dignified Fengyun Fort Castle Lord would also learn from others to speak quickly for a while, it seems that it is just a vain name." "This person is the second eldest of the two eagles in the north, Snow Eagle Monan, a set of broken heart palms is definitely no worse than eagle claw skills.
Shangguan Fengyun snorted coldly, looked at the man who was nearly forty years old, and said coldly: "If the two of you were not instigated by the rooster and dog thieves, how could you rashly come to my Fengyun Fort as guests." He knew the man, who was one of the two leaders who had led the people to intercept the goods that day, and the other had already been killed by him.
When Shangguan Fengyun said this, the man's face immediately couldn't hold back, and his face suddenly turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Don't stir up right and wrong here, obviously you led people to rashly break into my realm, not only did you kill my brother without explanation, do you think that if you are the lord of Fengyun Castle, we won't dare to do anything to you?"
Shangguan Fengyun shook his head, he didn't want to be entangled with this kind of person too much, it was useless to talk about it. Originally, that day I just wanted to teach the other party a lesson, and set up the prestige of Fengyun Castle outside the gate, but I didn't expect to kill one of the other party's leaders, in order not to make a big fuss, so I let go of the person in front of me, but I didn't expect this person not only to be unrepentant, but also entangled in the provocation of a master like Saibei Shuangying, it seems that there is no way to end if you don't make a big move today.
"What do you two want?" Shangguan Fengyun looked at Saibei Shuangying and asked lightly, not taking the man in his eyes at all, and did not look at him again. The man was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to rush up now.
"The person you killed is our apprentice, although he does not learn and has no skills, and only worships under my door for a year, but he has always had a master-apprentice relationship with us. Now that you have killed him, if we don't care, wouldn't it be a joke for the Jianghu people. He shook his head as he spoke, and after a pause, his eyes changed suddenly, staring at Shangguan Fengyun coldly, and said in a deep voice: "We also want to see how deep the skill of the Shangguan Fort Lord is." You can rest assured that today's matter is between you and us, and as long as others do not interfere, we will not embarrass anyone. ”
Shangguan Fengyun nodded, and said seriously: "Okay! I also told the two of you that my Fengyun Fort is not a place where more bullies less. After saying that, he waved his hand and asked all the surrounding guards to retreat, and no one was allowed to do anything without his order.
The big war is on the verge of breaking out......
