Chapter 125: Coming as promised
Keeping promises seems to be a simple four words, but it has unpredictable significance. People who regard promises as child's play are often ruthless and unrighteous, and sooner or later, such people will eat the consequences of their own evil and become cocoons and bind themselves. And the people who take the promise very seriously and will fulfill it at any cost are often people who are affectionate and righteous, such people can always win the hearts of the people, and there are always people gathered around to achieve the goal that they cannot achieve alone. It is the same principle that those who have attained the Tao have much help.
Early the next morning, Wuxin said goodbye to Ruyi and left the Phantom Sound Pavilion, ready to fulfill the promise he had made, he didn't know what he would experience this time, but since Xia Haitang suddenly sent someone to bring the letter, it must have been in some big trouble, no matter what, he had to go.
The moment he walked out of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, Wuxin suddenly felt that something was missing in his heart, a little empty, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, maybe it was far away, but Wuxin just hoped that the next time he came back, he wouldn't come back with scars all over his body, he didn't want to wait for the people here to be afraid of himself.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and unintentionally took a step, preparing to leave, when he heard a voice from the side.
"Take care all the way, bring the letter back as soon as you need help, and be on call. The person who spoke was Nangong Chu, who was leaning on the stone pillar at the entrance of the Phantom Sound Pavilion at this time, playing with a folding fan in his hand, looking at Wuxin and saying slowly.
Unintentionally turned his head and saw that the person who spoke turned out to be Nangong Chu, and a smile appeared on his face, it turned out that he was here, no wonder he didn't see him just now. nodded and said, "Definitely, I'll leave it to you here, take care of her." The "she" in Wuxin's mouth, without saying it, knows who it refers to, maybe entrusting her to Nangong Chu is Wuxin's most relieved, because he knows that no matter what kind of danger he encounters, Nangong Chu is willing to fight for his life.
Nangong Chu did not hesitate, nodded heavily, and said firmly: "Don't worry, as long as I live, no one will dare to hurt her." "What he said was true, and he always did.
Wuxin nodded, no longer hesitated, and walked in the direction of the outside of the city, he didn't want to stay any longer, not because he was really in a hurry to leave, but because he was worried that the more he hesitated, the more he didn't want to leave, and he didn't even dare to look back and take a second look, he was afraid to see those expectant, aggrieved eyes.
"Are we still friends?" Nangong Chu blurted out as he looked at Wuxin, who was already planning to leave. He deliberately waited here, this question is also what he has always wanted to ask, from leaving the capital to the present, the relationship between him and Wuxin and Ruyi is a little awkward, and the three of them are often very awkward when they meet together, just because Nangong Chu desperately protected Ruyi when he was in the Xianwang Mansion.
Everyone has already seen that Nangong Chu's feelings for Ruyi have exceeded the feelings of the senior brother for the junior sister, and she didn't want to see it, and Ruyi also saw it, or maybe she already knew it from the beginning, but she didn't tell Wuxin in person. So Nangong Chu wanted to ask, he didn't want to lose two important friends because of this.
Wuxin, who had already walked a few steps, was stunned for a moment when he heard Nangong Chu's words, stopped, and said slowly: "As long as you think it is, it will always be." What he said was very affirmative, in fact, he never minded, just like Shangguan Yunjie liked Ruyi at the beginning, that was their right, and he had no reason to interfere.
He even morbidly hoped that one day Ruyi would finally accept one of them, although he knew that Ruyi's heart was already full of himself. It's not that he doesn't care about it, but he knows that if he loves someone, he should let her live peacefully.
Nangong Chu looked at the back of Wuxin who was gradually moving away, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a relaxed smile, he had heard the answer he wanted, and the worry in his heart disappeared, he knew what to do next, no longer worried, and turned around and walked inside.
In a room in the attic of Phantom Sound, a figure stood in front of the window, looking at the figure that had gradually blended into the crowd, flickering, his eyes moist, but he bit his lip tightly to prevent tears from falling.
This person is Lin Xuan, the little girl who was once immature, naughty, and clinging to Wuxin all day long, but at this time she could only watch her unintentional back disappear into the surging crowd, and she didn't have the courage to say goodbye, because she was afraid that the tears she could hold back would not be able to control after all.
She knew that even if she threw herself into his arms and spoke her heart out loud, it would be useless, because she was late, and someone had already taken the first step into his heart, and there was no room for anyone. She didn't want to pierce this layer of window paper, which was already clear, but she just wanted to stay here, stay by his side, and look at him quietly was enough.
The road of life is very long, you will meet many people, these people will always meet what they like, and they will also meet those who like themselves, but there is always such a person who will let himself go completely, and even forget himself, and his laughter and tears from then on have a relationship with this person, lingering, and cannot escape.
But it is not necessarily to pursue any result, sometimes people who are destined to have no fate, and there will be no end if they are forced, and sometimes it is enough to watch each other live happily.
The cold winter wind always seems to be pervasive, even if you wear thick clothes, it has always been penetrated inadvertently, and the biting cold makes people can't help but shiver, hoping that spring will come sooner and drive away this shrinking winter.
A person wearing only a thin coat appeared on the streets of Dragon City in the evening, and from time to time attracted the surrounding passers-by to squint, looking at the tightly wrapped cotton clothes and cotton pants on his body, and then looking at the person in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head, all wondering if this person had already cultivated copper skin and iron bones, and was no longer afraid of the scorching heat and winter.
A black cloak tightly wrapped around his body, a knife as black as ink, revealing a hint of coldness, and a face as pale as snow pressed under the brim of his hat, combined into such a person, such a teenager who suddenly appeared on the street.
This person is exactly the unintentional person who came as promised after receiving the letter from Xia Haitang, the leader of the Dragon City Snake Gang. As he walked, he looked around, as if looking for the alley that he had visited more than once, but which had always been hidden.
At this moment, a big man walked towards Wuxin, walked in a hurry, and almost collided with Wuxin, while bypassing Wuxin's body, he whispered: "Shaoxia, please come with me." He left without looking back, as if he was talking to himself just now, not to the unintentional.
But Wuxin had already turned around slowly and followed behind Dahan, because the moment Dahan looked up just now, Wuxin had already recognized him. That big man is the big man who led the way for him twice when he went to find Xia Haitang before.
But I didn't understand why this big man passed by him here this time, as if he was waiting for him here. It seems that the snake gang is really in a lot of trouble this time.
Wuxin followed behind the big man, turned into an alley, and then began to shuttle back and forth between alleys, but Wuxin suddenly found that this time the route seemed to be no longer the route he had walked before, and it was more complicated and difficult to remember than before.
I don't know how long I walked, but it seemed that even the big man leading the way in front of me was impatient. Finally, Dahan stopped and stopped at the door of an inconspicuous mansion that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
Then I saw that the big man was unhurried, knocked on the courtyard door a few times rhythmically, as if whispering something, and then heard the door "squeak" open, and a person leaned out from inside, and saw that the person who knocked on the door was the big man and gently opened the courtyard door.
"Young man, please. Dahan stepped aside and said respectfully to Wuxin.
Wuxin didn't hesitate, raised his legs and walked in, but suddenly felt that the great man who had been invincible in the past suddenly became much more respectful, this doesn't seem to be the style of the snake gang, is it because he is the rescuer invited by their gang leader? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
There were a lot of people standing in the courtyard, scattered in all corners, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy, all with weapons in their hands, and it seemed that they should be guards guarding the courtyard. In the next few rooms, you can vaguely see people surging, and it is estimated that they are also full of people. This isn't the headquarters of the Snake Gang, but it seems that all the people of the Snake Gang have been transferred here, and it looks like they are really in big trouble this time.
The big man who led the way continued to lead the way in front, brought Wuxin to the door of the main house in the courtyard, knocked lightly three times, and then heard a familiar voice coming from the house.
"Come in. A thin, tired voice came from inside, and then I saw the big man slowly push open the door and make way for him.
Wuxin didn't hesitate and walked in first. He remembered that the voice was the voice of Xia Haitang, the leader of the Snake Gang. When I walked into the house, I was stunned for a moment, originally from the outside it looked like a house that had been abandoned for a long time and no one lived in, but the furnishings in the house didn't look like it had been abandoned for a long time, and there was everything.
In the middle of the wall, there is a couch that seems to be unique to the snake gang, and a figure is sitting up from the couch, seeing Wuxin coming in, his face shows a look of relief. Wearing a gauze gown, a pair of pink embroidered shoes, and a charming but slightly pale face, it is the leader of the Snake Gang, Xia Haitang.
"Are you really here?" Xia Haitang struggled to stand up, staggered and almost fell, and the big man who came in with him hurriedly rushed over, reaching out to support Xia Haitang's body, but Xia Haitang gently broke away.
Unintentionally, I saw that Xia Haitang was already injured, with gauze wrapped around her arm, looking a little embarrassed, although she was still charming and moving, she was already a little haggard.
Seeing this, he couldn't help frowning, and said lightly: "It seems that I'm late." He has seen Xia Haitang's strength, his skills are not weak, and he can injure Xia Haitang under the protection of the snake gang, it seems that the people they provoke are much more difficult than he expected.
When Xia Haitang heard Wuxin's words, he quickly shook his head, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of joy, and said with a smile: "It's not too late at all, it's just the right time, I didn't expect you to come so soon." ”
To be honest, in fact, Xia Haitang didn't expect Wuxin to come at all, she thought that Wuxin's original promise was just a casual remark, just to prevaricate herself, but she still sent someone to send a letter to Wuxin with the attitude of giving it a try, but she didn't expect Wuxin to really come, and it came so quickly.
"What's wrong?What kind of people did you offend to make your snake gang go out and hide here?" Wuxin looked at the injured Xia Haitang and asked lightly.
After listening to Wuxin's words, Xia Haitang, including the big man standing beside her, all showed a trace of embarrassment on their faces. I saw Xia Haitang shake his head helplessly, and said slowly: "It all started with the mysterious outsiders ten days ago,"
Saying that, he frowned, thought for a while, and continued: "About ten days ago, a group of people wearing black power suits and holding swords suddenly appeared in Dragon City, led by a middle-aged man in white, they found the snake gang and asked us about the news of Red Feather, originally I didn't want to tell them, I was worried about causing trouble for the snake gang, but they offered a very high price, so high that I had no way to refuse,"
"So I told them that there was a group of people who had been robbing boys in the villages around Dragon City recently, and I suspected it was Red Feather's people. As a result, within two days, the headquarters of the Snake Gang was suddenly attacked, and although the number of opponents was small, all of them were strong in martial arts,"
"If it weren't for my men desperately protecting me to escape and hide in this temporary stronghold, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me today. After speaking, she sighed, and a look of remorse appeared on her face, if she hadn't been too greedy, maybe she wouldn't have been burned.
Wuxin listened to Xia Haitang's words, and couldn't help frowning, especially when it came to the mysterious outsiders, and the dress of that group, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, remembering a place, Fengyue Valley......
