Chapter 123: Calm Waves

There will always be a rainbow after the storm, there is no spotless weather, there is no sinking life, there is yin and sunny, there is life and death, there will be a short period of calm before the storm comes, and after the storm, there will also be a period of calm, not that the storm will not come again, but through this short period of calm to confirm the terrible and irresistible storm.

Another sound of horses' hooves sounded from afar, and the swing of the horsewhip revealed a panicked eagerness. Everyone looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone coming. A total of six people, six horses, quickly stopped at the side of the tea shop, and rushed over one after another, and the leader was Tie Xiong's son, Tie Feiyun.

"Why are you here?" Tie Xiong was stunned for a moment after seeing that it was Tie Feiyun, and asked suspiciously. In the past few days when Wuxin made trouble in the Xianwang Mansion, Tie Feiyun was not in the capital, and happened to be on official business outside, so he didn't know that Tie Xiong wanted to escort Wuxin back to Phantom City.

Tie Feiyun rushed to the front, saw several corpses lying on the ground at a glance, and immediately frowned, his expression was sad, he kept shaking his head, and said sadly: "After I completed the task, I heard about the capital, and I also heard that my father was going to send my junior brother back to Phantom City, and I couldn't rest assured, so I specially wanted to come and see it, but I didn't expect it to be late." ”

He had been to Phantom City with Tie Xiong before, so he knew the route to Phantom City, and after the task was completed, he took a few companions to change the route on the way back to Beijing, wanting to go to Phantom City to see the situation, but he didn't expect to meet Tie Xiong, who had been attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses, and he had no intention of waiting for others.

The few trappers who followed Tie Feiyun also had the same expressions as Tie Feiyun, all of them had a sad face, and they were even blaming themselves for being late. They are all brothers who have lived and died together and fought side by side, how can they feel good when they see so many people dying at once.

"Who is the killer? Is it Red Feather again?" Tie Feiyun opened his eyes angrily and asked fiercely, he wanted revenge, no matter who the other party was, he had to seek justice for his brother.

Tie Xiong pointed to the corpses lying everywhere, and said slowly: "The killers have all been eliminated, but they shouldn't be Red Feather's people, I suspect that they are the dead soldiers secretly cultivated by the Xianwang Mansion." This account, if it's not over, I'll keep it in mind. Tie Xiong is also hating in his heart, hating that he is not strong enough, he can't fight a hundred, he hates this group of killers, and hates the mastermind behind the killers to kill them all, and he will do whatever it takes.

"Xianwang Mansion?" Tie Feiyun and several catchers shouted at the same time, they couldn't believe their ears, not because they were afraid, but because they didn't believe that the people of Xianwang's Mansion would be so vicious to the six doors of the same people in the imperial court.

"No," Wuxin, who was standing aside, shook his head and said lightly: "I know them, I have seen them in the dense forest outside Fengyue Valley before, but those people have been killed by me, these people here are in a group with them, it seems that they are not just a few killers in disguise, they are an organization, but I am not sure if this organization is from the Xianwang Mansion." ”

Seeing the pair of short swords in the killer's hand, he unintentionally remembered the group of red-clothed people he had met outside the Wind Moon Valley, and their weapons were exactly the same.

Thinking of this, Wuxin turned his head to stare at the corpse of the killer who fell to the side, and said lightly: "Peel off their clothes and take a look to see if they are wearing red clothes inside." ”

Tie Feiyun listened to Wuxin's words, and walked to the killer's corpse with several arresters, and ripped off the killer's clothes. Sure enough, there was really another piece of clothing in the shabby clothes, which was the red dress that Wuxin said.

Tie Xiong frowned, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "But I have never heard of any organization in the rivers and lakes that is dressed in red and holding a pair of short swords, where did they come from, and their martial arts are so high?" As the highest-ranking catcher of the Six Gates, except for Zhan Ying, he is familiar with the major gang organizations in the rivers and lakes, but he has never heard of such an organization.

Wuxin snorted coldly and said lightly: "It seems that there is more than one person who wants my life, but the fox will always show its tail one day, and I believe it will not be too far." ”

He didn't know why this group of red-clothed men would intercept and kill him, was it just because he had killed their people outside the Wind Moon Valley? Even if it was, these killers would not be so desperate to get rid of themselves at all costs, unless their existence hindered their business, so they were so desperate.

Although everyone is confused and can't guess what the connection is, but thinking too much is just asking for trouble, so no longer asking, no longer suspicious, just like unintentionally said, it is a fox, there will always be a time to show its tail.

So, Tie Feiyun began to lead people to dig a tomb in the grove next to him, and buried his dead companions together, so that they could also walk together under the Nine Springs.

Tie Xiong brought out a total of more than a dozen subordinates, but now there are only three people left, except for the five people who were entangled with the killer and died together, some of the remaining people finally died of poison because they didn't have time to be treated, and only three people who were not deeply poisoned were barely still supporting, Tie Xiong had simply forced out most of the toxins for them, and the rest could only wait until they arrived in the Phantom City to ask Lang Zhong to solve it.

After everyone buried the tomb, they simply worshipped, and then Tie Xiong asked Tie Feiyun to lead people to help the wounded into the carriage, and the three catchers were no longer able to ride horses in the current situation, so they had to be arranged on the carriage that the three of them were riding in when they came.

Nangong Chu and Ruyi stayed for a while, and then got into the carriage, which was already a little crowded, in advance, leaving only Wuxin and Tiexiong next to the tomb, reluctant to leave for a long time. After what happened just now, everyone's mood is not very good, and they are all a little heavy.

"You should have noticed it too?" Tetsuo said slowly, looking solemnly at the woods not far ahead, with a hint of doubt and surprise in his slightly sad mood.

Wuxin nodded and said lightly: "That's right, it seems that Uncle Shi has to check where they came from." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked in the direction where the mysterious black-clothed man who had just disappeared like a visitor from outside the world, and he always felt a little familiar and unfamiliar in his heart.

After staying for a while, Wuxin and Tetsuo are finally ready to leave, everything here is over, if you delay too long, it is likely to wait for the enemy again, it is better to leave early, and there are three highly poisonous people waiting to be treated in the car, although Tetsuo is only slightly injured, then it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

So, a carriage, a dozen fast horses, continued in the direction of the Phantom City again, only this time it was no longer full of people, for several companions had remained here forever, but the living would never forget this place, the man lying in that tomb.

Phantom City, it seems to be the same as before, lively, prosperous, as if no matter what happened and what happened, the people here will soon forget, return to the original life trajectory, still colorful, singing night and night, it seems to have become the eternal uniqueness of this place, which is why I don't like this place unintentionally, always return here when I am physically and mentally exhausted, and enjoy the silence behind the hustle and bustle.

Phantom Sound Pavilion, in the backyard, at the railing on the second floor, there was a person standing, a person who was shrouded in black clothes, his face was pale, but he was more haggard than before, it was the unintentional return to the Phantom City safely.

Although he returned safely, he once again owed Six Doors a love, which became heavier and heavier, so heavy that he was unintentionally worried that he would not be able to pay it back. He is the one who is most reluctant to owe favors to others, because what he owes will have to be repaid sooner or later.

Looking at the pedestrians walking by from time to time outside the courtyard wall, and listening to the voices of various vendors faintly coming from the distance, my unintentional heart finally slowly relaxed.

The feeling of going home is always so beautiful, although waiting in this home is not a relative whose blood is thicker than water, but there is all the quietness and warmth that originally belonged to home, and there is also a reason that there will always be someone waiting for him here, no matter how late, he has regarded this place as his home.

This is the fifth day back in the Phantom City, and it seems that everything is passing so quickly, and I hope that the rising sun will not set again, and the setting sun will not rise again.

The three poisoned catchers had already invited Lang Zhong from Fengyun Castle to come and take a look, and there was no big problem, and Lang Zhong also helped Wuxin, Nangong Chu and Tiexiong to deal with their wounds by the way, and everything was developing in a good way.

Wuxin also took the opportunity to invite Lang Zhong to meet Shangguan Yunjie's father, Shangguan Fengyun, with Ruyi. Because Shangguan Yunjie's death was completely caused by the protection of Ruyi, both unintentional and wishful thinking should regard Shangguan Fengyun as his father from now on, and take care of the old man who is no longer strong because of the death of his son.

At this time, a figure slowly walked over, standing side by side with Wuxin, dressed in white, with a delicate face, which added a little warmth to Wuxin's already comfortable heart, and could make Wuxin have so many emotions, except for Ruyi, who else could there be.

"It's been a long time since you've been like this for so long. Ruyi smiled lightly, looked at the clouds in the sky with the wind, and said softly, she has not been by Wuxin's side for a long time.

"yes, after walking so many places, I still think this is the place I want to come back to. Wuxin said lightly, a peaceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the past five days, there have been no follow-up killers coming to make trouble as Wuxin and others feared, but everything seems to be very calm, and the calm is surprising.

Originally, Tie Feiyun took a few catchers to take turns on duty day and night to prevent the enemy from attacking again, but five days have passed, and nothing has happened, as if suddenly the situation has calmed down, as if this is a forgotten place, and Wuxin is the forgotten person.

Wuxin was very satisfied with this result, and even thanked those unknown factions and unknown killers for giving him peace for so long.

But whenever he lies alone in bed at night, and his heart slowly calms down, there is always a trace of unease, because he knows that this rare calm is short-lived, even luxurious, for him, and sooner or later one day he will return to the previous days of fighting and killing, because he doesn't know what else he can do besides this, and sometimes he will suddenly lose his direction.

Perhaps, from the moment he was born, he was destined to take such a road, maybe this road will be very long, or even endless, but he has no choice but to go down, not only for himself, but also for everyone who accompanies him without regrets.

"Can you not leave this time?" Ruyi bit her lip and asked softly, in fact, she didn't want to ask, because she had already guessed the answer, and knew that asking was in vain, but she couldn't help it, because that was what she wanted.

Wuxin shook his head, breathed in the rare, fresh, and bloodless air, and said lightly: "I don't know, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, when it's time to go, I will naturally leave, but I will come back one day, because I have too many worries here." ”

Ruyi heard Wuxin's answer, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was no longer depressed, because she knew that among Wuxin's concerns, there was always a position that belonged to her, and that was enough, even if he didn't say a word, she could feel it, she was not stupid, and she could even say that she could read his heart better than anyone else.

The sun shines brightly, falling sprinkled, falling on the roof, on the flowers and trees, on the street, on the two people standing quietly on the railing, so peaceful, so reluctant......
