Chapter 41: Windfall

Accidents are annoying and even avoidable, because you don't know what will accompany an accident that may cause you to lose a lot of important people or other important things. But sometimes the unexpected can bring surprises and unexpected gains.

Lady Luck seems to have brushed shoulders with Wuxin again and again, and then revisited again and again......

Xiwang Village is a remote, backward village, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, only a narrow path connects to the outside world. There are not many households in the village, most of them are old residents who have lived here for generations, living in houses that are not spacious and bright, planting one acre and three points of land in front of the door, although they are poor, but for them, this is enough, and life is very fulfilling.

Outside a slightly dilapidated house, an old lady bent over and sprinkled grain on the chickens around her, the chickens fed with grain were the most fragrant and the eggs were the most delicious, and every year she would feed the fattest chickens and save enough eggs to wait for the day when her son returned. Counting the days, it's time for my son to come back soon.

Not far away, behind a few willow trees, there were three people, two men and one woman, who were looking at the hunched old man in the distance, turning their heads from time to time to look in the direction of the entrance of the village, as if they were waiting for someone.

These three people are the three of Wuxin, they have been here for two days, secretly hidden in the village, and no one in the village has noticed these three outsiders who suddenly visited. But the person they were waiting for has not yet appeared, and I wonder if they have forgotten that there is an elderly mother in their hometown waiting for them to come home.

"He probably won't come back. Wuxin looked at the empty entrance of the village and said lightly. He didn't believe that Cheng Yuan would come back, if Cheng Yuan really didn't die, but deliberately disappeared, it must be some kind of connection with Red Feather, in this case, it was impossible for him not to know that someone had investigated him, and it was even very likely that someone knew about the existence here, then he would not appear easily, or even at all.

"He will definitely come, if he doesn't come, he won't be Cheng Yuan. Shangguan Yunjie said with certainty that he knew Cheng Yuan, although he may not know his identity as much as he imagined, but for his filial piety, Shangguan Yunjie can conclude that because Cheng Yuan will come back every year for so many years, no matter what happens.

Time passed little by little, and the sun was about to go down and another day was about to pass. The old lady had returned to the house and lit a candle that was not too bright, and although it was a little dark, it was enough to illuminate the child's way home.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the direction of the entrance of the village, walking very slowly and cautiously, looking around from time to time. Although the sun had set and the light was very dim, Shangguan Yunjie still recognized that person at a glance, it was Cheng Yuan who disappeared in Yunzhou City.

Soon, Cheng Yuan came to the old lady's house, hesitated, and walked in. After a while, I heard the happy laughter of the old lady, and the greetings between mother and son, as if they had no idea that six ears were listening to their conversation outside. The old lady began to get busy, killing chickens, taking eggs, and taking out all the delicious and delicious food she had saved for more than half a year.

The night was very short, but there were endless words, and the mother and son didn't sleep all night, as if they were in a hurry to separate, and they wanted to finish the words they had saved overnight. The reunion was short-lived, the night passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye the day had passed.

When the sky was just dawning, Cheng Yuan planned to leave, as if he was in a hurry, he came back after dark, and he was about to leave as soon as it was dawn. The old lady stood at the door and looked at the back of her son who was gradually moving away, her eyes were full of reluctance, as if she had not finished speaking, and hoped that her son would stay longer. The son had never left so quickly and in such a hurry, but she didn't say anything, because her son was content to come back to see her, and she could only see her son away with tears in her eyes.

The three of them followed Cheng Yuan, wanting to see where he came from, where he was going back, and what secrets were hidden behind him. They didn't bother the mother and son for a short time together, because they knew that even if Cheng Yuan made a big mistake, it had nothing to do with his elderly mother. Woe to his wife and children, this is the morality of the rivers and lakes.

Whitehorse Town, a town named after horses, is called Whitehorse Town because it is a place where the best horses are abundant, and there is a large horse farm in the town, where a horse race is held regularly every day, and the first place winner can get a large bounty.

The three of them followed Cheng Yuan to this place thousands of miles away from Yunzhou City, and it was hard to imagine that Cheng Yuan, who had just disappeared, would come to this distant town in the blink of an eye. And it seemed that he was very familiar with this place, constantly shuttling between the streets and alleys, as if he had lived here for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Yuan finally stopped outside a courtyard, looked around, and knocked on the courtyard door. After a while, the courtyard door was opened, and it was a young man, a young man with a cold face. I saw that the young man first looked behind Cheng Yuan, then looked out for a moment, and then opened the door and let Cheng Yuan in, looking very cautious.

Seeing this young man, his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a trace of surprise on his face, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, nodded lightly, and glanced at Lin Xuan beside him.

"Do you know the person who opened the door?" Shangguan Yunjie asked with a frown. Attentively, he saw the change in his face after he unintentionally saw the person who opened the door just now, so he couldn't help but ask.

Wuxin nodded and said slowly: "That's right, and it's been handsome." He put away his smile as he spoke, with a hint of murder in his eyes.

"Oh, who is he?" Shangguan Yunjie asked suspiciously, except for the Golden Knife Guest, he didn't seem to have heard of anyone who could still be alive after fighting Wuxin, this was the second one.

"He's a man who has been gone for a long time, and I believe there's another unexpected surprise in there. Wuxin said lightly, another surprise in his mouth was Chang Wanqing, the leader of the Wanqing Gang who suddenly disappeared a few months ago, and the white jade sword that was snatched away.

The young man who opened the door was the young master of the Wanqing Gang who suddenly disappeared after washing the Qingyin Mountain without heart, Situ Feihong. His appearance was unexpected, it was an unexpected gain, and if he could meet him, it meant that Chang Wanqing was not far from here, and maybe he was also in this courtyard.

Immediately, Wuxin recounted to Shangguan Yunjie about the vicious battle that happened in the Wanqing Gang, and Shangguan Yunjie exclaimed from time to time, although he was not present at the scene, but just listening to Wuxin's narration, he could know how dangerous the situation was at that time. also knew that it was Nangong Chu who helped at the most critical time, and his good impression of Nangong Chu suddenly increased a few points in his heart.

Looking at the slowly closing courtyard door, Wuxin had an idea in his heart, he planned to go in tonight to investigate and see if Chang Wanqing was also inside, he promised Lin Xuan that if he wanted to help her recapture the white jade sword, then he must do it, not to mention that Chang Wanqing's harm to Lin Xuan was enough to make Wuxin have the heart to kill him. Shangguan Yunjie also planned to go in to investigate and see what Cheng Yuan was doing hiding here, so the two decided to go together.

As night fell, the two figures skimmed briskly across the courtyard wall and into the courtyard, and soon disappeared into the darkness, and no one noticed it. These two people were Wuxin and Shangguan Yunjie, who had just come to investigate the situation after settling Lin Xuan down.

In a dimly lit room, a man was standing, standing in place with his head down, motionless looking at a man sitting in a chair in front of him. That person, an old man, an old man in a green robe, was sitting there looking at the man who was standing.

Wuxin and Shangguan Yunjie had already seen that the person standing was Cheng Yuan, who had just returned from other places, and the person sitting opposite him didn't know who it was, the whole person was shrouded in darkness, and he could only vaguely see a figure, but he could hear it by listening to the voice, it was an old man.

"Has anyone spotted you?" said the old man's voice from the darkness, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

Hearing this voice, Wuxin paused for a moment, because this voice was so familiar, familiar that he could almost blurt out the name of its owner.

"No, I've already confirmed it. Cheng Yuan didn't explain much, but answered the old man's question affirmatively. Cheng Yuan took the opportunity to go back to his hometown when he went out on a mission, but the old man didn't know, he didn't explain more because he didn't want to say too much, he didn't want too many people to know about his mother, because for people like him, it was extremely dangerous.

"That's good. The old man responded, moved forward to Cheng Yuan, and continued: "The mission of the Saibei Shuangying has failed, Shangguan Fengyun is still alive, useless things, it seems that we still have to take action, you have been lurking in Fengyun Fort for so many years, it is time for you to play a role." "It was said that he moved out because he moved up and moved closer to Cheng Yuan while sitting like that. When he came out of the darkness, he could see that he was not sitting in an ordinary chair, but in a wheelchair, a chair with two wheels.

By the faint candlelight, he couldn't help but see the old man's face clearly, and when he saw it clearly, he smiled again, because this old man was the leader of the Wanqing Gang who had long since disappeared, Chang Wanqing. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

At this moment, the old man in the wheelchair suddenly turned his head to look out the window, looked at the place where the two of them were, and said coldly: "What person?!" Hearing him suddenly snort, Cheng Yuan, who was standing on the side, also turned around abruptly and looked outside in surprise.

"When the old man visits, why don't you come out to greet him personally?" Wuxin was not surprised, but replied lightly. It was not strange for Chang Wanqing to find him, because Chang Wanqing's strength had been seen by the unintentional, although he was not his opponent, but it was too easy for him to find a person hiding under the window and eavesdropping.

And Wuxin didn't want to hide anything from the moment he heard Chang Wanqing's voice, he felt that it was time to stop something, and he couldn't let Chang Wanqing disappear from under his nose again.

Hearing the unintentional conversation, Chang Wanqing in the room was also a little surprised, and couldn't help frowning, and asked suspiciously: "Who is Your Excellency?" The old man seems to have heard Your Excellency's voice somewhere, why don't you come in and talk." ”

Unintentionally hearing Chang Wanqing's words, without the slightest hesitation, he pushed the door straight and walked in, and Shangguan Yunjie also walked in after him.

The moonlight outside the room filtered in through the open door, brightening the room that was still dim by candlelight, but it was enough for several people in the room to see each other's faces.

When Chang Wanqing saw Wuxin, his face suddenly changed, and he became surprised and incredible. And when Cheng Yuan saw Shangguan Yunjie, the whole person was stunned, his face turned pale instantly, I don't know if it was because Shangguan Yunjie suddenly appeared here and felt a little unbelievable, or because he was afraid of his betrayal, in short, the whole person was stunned there, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

The air in the whole room seemed to condense in an instant, making people breathless......
