Chapter 124: Once Promised

A promise made is equivalent to a debt that will have to be repaid sooner or later. But the promise is often just as easy as the upper lip touching the lower lip, and if you want to realize this promise, it may not be so easy, and you may have to pay an unpredictable price, but even so, you can't break the trust of others because of this, otherwise every word you say in the future will be a joke, and no one will believe it, let alone believe it.

From the rising sun, to the scorching sun, and then to the setting sun, although it seems to have been a long time, it is still too short for the two people standing at the railing, they have never stood quietly beside each other for so long as they do today, so calm, calm and no one can disturb them.

Looking at the gradually setting sunset, Wuxin sighed secretly, glanced at Ruyi who was standing quietly beside him from the corner of his eye, and turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor.

They have been standing like this for a day, forgetting to eat, forgetting to sit down and rest, just quietly staying by each other's side, maybe they are not forgetting, but they just don't want to deliberately interrupt the tacit understanding, they want this time to last a little longer, and others seem to know, no one comes to disturb.

But Wuxin couldn't stay anymore, and wanted to break this rare tranquility, because he suddenly felt that he was slowly liking this feeling, as if he was sinking into it step by step, sinking deeper and deeper, like a bottomless abyss, allowing himself to be immersed in it and unable to extricate himself, becoming slowly losing his fighting spirit, and becoming unwilling to leave.

But reason told him not to do this, because if he really did this, sooner or later he would break the peace of the city and ruin all the good life in this two-story building, because even if he chose to stay, the killing would not go away, but would be brought here by himself, ruining everything here, which was the last thing he wanted to see, so he chose to leave, although cruel, but helpless.

Wuxin, who walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, didn't look back, just felt the unique breath in the air that belonged to the person behind him, and slowly asked: "Why did I let you go in the tea shop that day, but you didn't leave?"

After a long time, Ruyi's voice came softly from behind, and I heard her say softly: "I am more afraid of living alone than death." Don't say anything that makes me angry next time. ”

In fact, when she chose to stand in front of Wuxin in the tea shop that day, she had prepared for the worst, because she knew that she couldn't stop those killers with her martial arts, but she would rather choose to face it bravely than run away alone as Wuxin said, because she was more afraid of the days without Wuxin than death.

Wuxin, who was on his back, listened to Ruyi's answer and walked away, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, smiling with relish and smiling from ear to ear......

Another five days have passed, and the days are also calm and quiet, but it is really precious for the injured Wuxin and others. Wuxin and Nangong Chu's injuries have basically healed, and they can move freely, but their skills have not fully recovered, and they still need to cultivate, after all, the injuries they suffered before were too serious.

Tie Xiong and the three poisoned catchers have recovered as before, and they can no longer see the shadow of the injuries and poisoning that they had been injured. has lived together peacefully for more than half a month, and it is time to separate.

"Now that your injuries have healed, it's time for us to go back to Beijing to resume our lives, the War Commander has already sent someone to fly the pigeon and pass the book back, there are still many things waiting for me to go back to deal with in Beijing, and I have to report this operation to the War Commander, and by the way, let Six Doors investigate what the two guys are coming from." Tie Xiong put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and said slowly.

Wuxin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tie Xiong to leave so suddenly, but he didn't say anything to stop him, because as a person in the court, Tie Xiong couldn't be as free as himself, and he still had a lot of official business.

So he nodded, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, I won't force Uncle Shi to stay, be careful on the road," he said and looked at Tie Feiyun and Zhong Zhukuai who were sitting on the side, hugged his fists and said: "I remember all your kindness, I won't say much if I thank you, but if there is a place where it can be used in the future, even if you open your mouth, you will definitely go to the soup." ”

"Haotian, if you say that, you will see the outside, and I will be unhappy when you say this. Tie Xiong looked at Wuxin with a serious face and said, although the expression on his face pretended to be a little unhappy, but he was very relieved in his heart, because although the people in the rivers and lakes called Wuxin the god of death and said that he was ruthless, but Tie Xiong knew that his master and nephew were a loving and righteous person, who could distinguish between good and evil, and also knew what it was to know what it was.

The crowd of people sitting next to him also waved their hands one after another, with a kind smile on their faces, although they had not completely come out of the grief of losing their companions, but they did not complain in their hearts, and they never regretted what they had done. They can also distinguish what is right and wrong, and know what they should do, but for them, the world of rivers and lakes is sometimes too cruel, so cruel that they can't afford to think about anything.

After a short farewell, Tie Xiong left with Tie Feiyun and his men, although it was a little sudden, but it was not like never seeing each other again.

Wuxin looked at the hall that suddenly became deserted, shook his head, and lost his appetite for the full table of food, walked to the door with a teacup, drank the tea in the cup, looked at the fallen leaves in the courtyard that were blown by the wind, and fell into deep thought.

Parting is always a heavy heart, Tie Xiong and the others have already left, is he about to hit the road, I don't want to think.

Ruyi and Nangong Chu, who were sitting at the dinner table, glanced at each other, as if they both felt something, but neither of them spoke, and chose to bow their heads and be silent, thinking about their own thoughts. Perhaps they also feel that a real parting is coming.

"Brother Heartless. At this time, a voice came from the entrance to the front yard, followed by a person running in, a familiar figure, when he saw this person, a smile appeared on the corner of Wuxin's mouth, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

The figure trotted all the way to the door, also with a smile on his face, a letter in his hand, and was about to speak, when he heard Ruyi's voice from the hall.

"Xuan'er, how many times have you told you, why are you still so flustered? Ruyi said with a slight complaint, the expression on his face was a little unhappy, he stood up and walked over slowly.

This figure who suddenly ran over was Lin Xuan, who Wuxin entrusted to Ruyi's care at that time, that eccentric and innocent girl.

"It's okay, she's a child who never grows up. Wuxin looked at Lin Xuan, who ran in front of him, and said with a smile.

Although he didn't mean to say this, Lin Xuan at this time was no longer the immature child he was at the beginning, and there was a rare maturity between his eyebrows, which was completely due to Ruyi, because Ruyi had already taken Lin Xuan under the door of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, and now Lin Xuan was responsible for sorting out the information that came up from all over the country.

And in her spare time, she is still painstakingly practicing the mantra of the white jade swordsmanship left by her grandfather, and now she carries the white jade sword that has been fought for by all kinds of martial arts people wherever she goes, and she is already like a heroine with strong martial arts.

Ruyi glanced at her heartlessly, and said angrily: "You just get used to her." Then he saw the letter in Lin Xuan's hand, frowned, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.

Wuxin smiled, pretended to be serious and looked at Lin Xuan and said, "In the future, I will listen to your Ruyi Pavilion Master's words, do you hear?"

Lin Xuan nodded heavily, and said seriously: "I know, I've always listened to my sister's words, right, sister?"

Ruyi saw Wuxin and Lin Xuan who sang and harmonized, and couldn't help but glared at Wuxin, looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Okay, okay, don't mess around, what are you holding in your hand, is there something wrong?" Although she said that Lin Xuan was messing around, she was very satisfied with Lin Xuan's performance in entering the Phantom Sound Pavilion in her heart, and she shared a lot of it for her.

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then remembered the letter she was holding in her hand, stretched out her hand and handed it to Wuxin, and said slowly: "This is a letter sent by someone to Brother Wuxin just now." ”

Wuxin was stunned for a moment, reached out and took the letter, looked at it for a moment, and then slowly opened it. When he saw the content of the letter, Wuxin's brows suddenly furrowed, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, looking a little dignified.

Ruyi saw the unintentional expression, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Whose letter?" The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he always felt that something would happen.

Wuxin didn't speak, and reached out and handed the letter to Ruyi. Ruyi took the letter and looked at it, then frowned and didn't say a word. Only two short sentences were written in the letter: I am trapped in the dilemma of life and death, and I hope that Shaoxia will fulfill his original promise ----- Xia Haitang.

"What about the person who sent the letter?" Wuxin frowned and looked at Lin Xuan and asked.

When the letter came, he hurried away, as if he was in a hurry. Lin Xuan replied suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.

Nangong Chu also came over at this time, wanting to see what was going on, and by the way, to see if he had anything he could help with, his intuition told him that something tricky must have happened, otherwise his unintentional and wishful expressions would not be so ugly.

So, Wuxin recounted the promise he made to Xia Haitang, the leader of the Dragon City Snake Gang, in order to help Murong Xue recover the stolen golden silk armor, which was a long time ago, but Wuxin always remembered it.

After listening to the unintentional narration, Ruyi frowned and said: "Since her power in Dragon City is so great, she will never easily encounter trouble, let alone easily waste the promise you made to her, it must have been an extremely urgent matter that forced her to ask you for help, and I am afraid that this promise will not be so easy to fulfill." ”

The unintentional injury was just right, and the skill had not fully recovered, Ruyi couldn't be relieved from the inside, and couldn't help but look at the senior brother Nangong Chu next to him.

"Since it's a promise I made, I have to go anyway. Wuxin said seriously, he has always been a person who does what he says.

"I'll go with you. Without waiting for Ruyi to continue speaking, Nangong Chu on the side had already spoken. When Ruyi looked at him, he understood what Ruyi meant, and in fact, even if Ruyi didn't hint at it, he would take the initiative to bring it up.

But Wuxin shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, you have to stay in Phantom City, it has been calm these days, I have always felt unsteady, this is too abnormal, I don't worry about here, you stay to protect everyone, I can go alone." His attitude was resolute, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.

"But your hurt ......" Ruyi couldn't help but say, but was interrupted by unintentionally halfway through speaking.

"No, but, this matter is not negotiable, I know my own injuries, don't worry, it will be fine. Wuxin said resolutely, only if Nangong Chu stays here, he can leave with peace of mind and no worries, which may be safer for him.

Seeing that they had made up their minds, Ruyi and Nangong Chu both swallowed what they wanted to say, and they all chose to be silent, they knew that no matter how much they persuaded them, it would be useless.

Originally, I thought that this peaceful life was a bit long, but suddenly when the day of separation came, I felt that this period of time was a little short, and it was as short as a white cloud, which made people can't help but sigh.

Perhaps, some people are born to be on the road and are destined to go through a lot of wind and rain, maybe it is unremarkable, maybe it is bloody......
