Chapter 61: A Thousand Miles to Find Relatives
Blood is thicker than water, and family affection is a friendship that people can never give up, and it is a kind of relationship that breaks bones and tendons. Wuxin and Tie Xiong are not related by blood, but the love between the two is no more shallow than that of real relatives, after all, putting aside the relationship between Tie Xiong and Qin Feng, they have experienced life and death together more than once.
Since Wuxin's life story was revealed to the world, he understood that Tetsuo had become his only relative in this world, the only relative related to his father.
In the next few days, the days seemed to have suddenly become calm, and no suspicious people appeared in the Phantom City, as if there was suddenly no trace, and the people who had been nervous for dozens of days finally relaxed, and the Phantom City was temporarily safe.
Unintentionally, Shangguan Yunjie withdrew the guards who were guarding the Phantom Sound Pavilion day and night, he felt that there was no need for this for the time being. As the Purple Cloud Sword was injured and left, Red Feather naturally knew that he had recovered, and he would not make any big moves for a while.
"After this period of time, Red Feather has completely regarded you as a thorn in the side, and if you are not eliminated, he will not give up, maybe in the future, Phantom City will also become the target of their hegemony, and it will not be peaceful. Shangguan Yunjie stood beside Wuxin, looked at the pedestrians on the street outside the window, and said with a frown. He grew up here and had a deep affection, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought that there would be no more peace here.
"As long as I'm not here, they won't make any big moves, I can take most of their energy, and then the pressure here will be much less, but you will need to worry more in the future, and this will be left to you. Wuxin glanced at Shangguan Yunjie and said seriously.
Shangguan Yunjie smiled bitterly and said with a smile: "You are tethering me to the Phantom City, I would rather stand next to you and fight side by side with you than staying here." He also wants to be like an unintentional leader, and break out of the world on the rivers and lakes.
"But this is home, no accidents can happen at home, it's the same for me and you, and I can rest assured that you are here. Wuxin sighed and said, Phantom City is the place he wants to return to the most after he is tired and tired, and it is also the place where Shangguan Yun was born, for them, this is home, the warmest place.
Shangguan Yunjie nodded, and said clearly: "I understand." Although he also wants to go out, he is no longer a child, he knows which is more important, and he can tell what is the most important thing for him.
Unintentionally, his eyes wandered, looking at everything that could be seen with the naked eye, flowers and trees, pavilions and courtyards, and the unfamiliar but familiar faces, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.
"Are you leaving again?" Shangguan Yunjie also frowned and asked slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Wuxin nodded and did not speak. He knew that everything was caused by himself, that the enemies were all coming for him, and that if he stayed here, there would really be no peace here, and he didn't want to bring the killing here, because this was the only piece of holy land left in his heart, because there were friends, a home, and her.
"Since Red Feather has sent out seven masters, it won't be easy to stop, you have to be careful about everything outside. Shangguan Yunjie said seriously, he already knew about Ziyun Sword's assassination of Wuxin, and this was from a friend's most genuine concern.
"I understand, I'll leave it to you. Wuxin nodded seriously and said slowly.
Neither of them spoke again, everything that should have been said had already been said, they both knew what they should do, and they didn't need to promise each other anything.
The two of them stood side by side at the window, looking at the street outside the courtyard, looking at the places where the fight had taken place a few days ago, and watching Ruyi slowly walk from the front yard with gentle steps.
Some people are enemies by nature, while others are destined to be friends.
On the surface, he said to everyone that he was going to the capital to visit his uncle, but in fact, his real thoughts in his heart were to take away the killing here, and he wanted to bear all this alone.
Before leaving, Tie Xiong did tell everyone that he must go to the capital to find him when he wakes up, everyone knows this, but everyone also understands in their hearts that the unintentional departure may not be just this one reason, but they didn't say anything, they just hope that the next time he comes back, he will no longer be carried back.
Originally, Ruyi insisted on letting Nangong Chu follow, but he unintentionally refused, and his words persuaded Ruyi. He said: For me, your safety is the most important thing, and there is no substitute.
Ruyi heard this, so she didn't say more, and agreed to Wuxin's proposal to let Nangong Chu stay in the Phantom Sound Pavilion, she had never heard Wuxin's such straightforward words, and her words were full of care for herself, which almost made her heart flutter.
After a few words, he went on the road without intention, and did not stay any longer, he didn't want to make it seem like life and death every time, he just thought it was a wandering, and he would be back soon.
The horses neighed and screamed, and galloped happily on all four legs, as if they also wished to leave their homeland and see the outside world.
Passing through the flowers, trees, mountains, the shadow of the phantom city gradually faded away, and was left behind in the distance. Dressed in black, with a knife and a horse, he was gone.
The capital has always been the most expansive and prosperous place, because there are palace compounds, royal family relatives, and business giants, so it is natural to have a table worthy of the set. There is a prosperous scene everywhere on both sides of the street, all kinds of shops and restaurants are lined up, and all kinds of people keep shuttling in it, a lively scene, worthy of the feet of the Son of Heaven.
In the depths of the street, a magnificent building sits here, surrounded by high walls, and above a dozen staircases, on the left and right sides stand several strong men dressed in fast clothes, their eyes blazing and their faces majestic.
Above the two huge iron doors that were open, there were three big characters: "Six Doors". This is the largest yamen in the capital, and it is also the most powerful yamen, directly obeying the orders of the Son of Heaven to investigate and arrest all the people who violate the king's law in all the major cases in the world. It is also the place where the deceased father of the unintentional used to work.
On the corner of the street in the distance, there was a figure standing, quietly looking at this magnificent building not far away, with a gloomy face. This person is unintentional. Looking at the place where his father once stayed, he was full of emotion in his heart, time has passed, and everything has long been wrong.
At this time, there seemed to be some big case in the six doors, and I saw that there were people surging in the gates, people coming and going, and a busy scene. From time to time, people dressed up come in and out, looking in a hurry.
Wuxin has been waiting outside, but he has never seen the shadow of Tie Xiong, including Tie Feiyun, who has come in and out of some unfamiliar faces, and he has never seen it before. He didn't come forward to ask directly, and he didn't plan to go in, as a person in the rivers and lakes, it was better to deal less with the government, after all, he killed too many people, and it was no good to have more contact.
The day passed quickly, and it was getting dark. At night, the capital, like other places, is more prosperous, with colorful lights.
At this moment, a figure walked out of the six doors, stretched, took a long breath, and slowly walked down the steps into an alley. Walking very slowly, I don't know if it's because I'm too tired after a busy day, or because I'm still thinking about the case, I have something on my mind, and I'm so distracted that there is always a person following closely behind me and not noticing.
This person is the son of Tie Xiong, Tie Feiyun. He was the only one who came out, but there was no trace of Tiexiong.
After walking for a while, when I came to a small courtyard, I stopped, looked up at the word "Iron House" on the door, sighed, slowly walked up the steps, pushed the door and walked in.
This is a courtyard house that does not look very spacious, several simple houses are built side by side on both sides, and there is a clearing in the courtyard, which seems to be a place for ordinary martial arts, several stone mortars are placed there, and there is a human-shaped wooden stake.
Tie Feiyun didn't seem to have time to pay attention to the things around him, lowered his head, and walked casually towards the main room, with words in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.
When he walked up the steps and was about to push the door in, he suddenly stopped, stared at the bluestone steps in front of him with wide eyes, and his face was frightened. For he saw a figure reflected on the ground by the moonlight, and the man who came stood a step behind him.
Tie Feiyun didn't have time to think about it, he suddenly turned around and looked at the person standing behind him unconsciously, with a complicated expression, some frightened, some angry.
But when he saw the person behind him clearly, he changed his expression, and it looked more complicated, with joy and sadness.
The person standing behind Tie Feiyun was Wuxin. He had been hiding not far from the gate of the Six Gates, waiting for Tetsuo, but he didn't see Tetsuo for a day. Fortunately, when night fell, he saw Tie Feiyun coming out of it, so he followed all the way.
But now he had no intention of looking at Tie Feiyun's unpredictable expression, and suddenly felt a hint of ominous premonition, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
In Wuxin's impression, although Tie Feiyun was arrogant and had no one in his eyes, he had never been so godless and masterless, with his skills, it was impossible to find the person who followed him so closely, unless something happened that made him confused.
Tie Feiyun frowned, sighed deeply, turned around and pushed the door open, and said slowly, "Let's talk about it first." Then he walked in and lit the lamp in the room, and at this moment, he couldn't care about the red tape that the guests invited first.
Wuxin frowned, feeling more and more that something was wrong, and walked in with his legs raised. The furnishings in the house are almost the same as in the courtyard, a simple bed, a table, four chairs, and nothing else. It seems that Tiexiong's life has not been very good these years. Tie Feiyun lost his mother since he was a child, and he was raised by Tie Xiong, and it was not easy for the father and son for so many years.
Wuxin just glanced at the general situation in the room, and asked Tie Feiyun again, he always felt that something was wrong, and recalled the busy scene inside the six doors during the day, and his heart was even more certain.
Tie Feiyun frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "My father is missing. After speaking, he clenched his fists tightly, with a look of self-reproach and pain on his face.
Hearing the news, Wuxin only felt that his head was "buzzing", and he was surprised, he couldn't believe his ears. How could the god hunt Tie Xiong suddenly disappear? What happened to him? A series of questions kept echoing in his mind.
"What the hell is going on?" Wuxin glared at Tie Feiyun with a face full of pain from losing his father, and asked loudly, complaining a little about Tie Feiyun's spitting, as if Tie Xiong was dead.
Tie Feiyun thought for a while, and said slowly: "Last time, after my father was recalled from Phantom City by the imperial court, I sent him to investigate a case, these days my father and I have been looking for clues to this case, and it is not easy to find a clue, but two days ago, in the process of a pursuit, my father suddenly disappeared, and then Liumen immediately sent all the arresters in Beijing to find it, but there was no trace, my father seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and now his life and death are uncertain." ”
Speaking of this, Tie Feiyun couldn't help but have a little moist eyes, he was chasing with Tie Xiong that day, but the two intercepted from two directions, and Tie Xiong disappeared.
Tie Feiyun has always felt that this is due to his own fault, so he has been blaming himself in his heart and is in low spirits.
Listening to Tie Feiyun's words, he unintentionally frowned and fell into deep thought. What kind of person can make a master like Uncle Shi disappear without a trace in an instant? Is it Red Feather? I don't dare to be sure......
