Chapter Twenty-Eight: There Is No Way Back
Next!
The Ximen Mansion changed the silence of the previous days, opened the door to welcome guests from all directions, and the guests were crowded and lively.
Even that team of thorny iron armor did not appear in the courtyard, which made this high-rise compound more active.
Some young doctors stood in all corners of the mansion in an orderly manner, one was to show the way for everyone, and the other was to take everyone's every move into view.
Shan Shuang saw the doctor Lu Baoxi, but Lu Baoxi's complexion was not very good, he smiled reluctantly, and he was worried. The woman urged, and the single and double just smiled at each other, and then rushed up.
When they entered the banquet, the mansion was already full of friends.
In addition to the people of the rivers and lakes, there are also friends from other worlds. The banquet seats are different, but there is no distinction between before and after, so it is clear at a glance, and each line follows the flow.
There is a woman, and the seat is not at the back of the row. Shan Shuang took a general look, and really saw a lot of big people.
All walks of life are elites, and those who can stay in the main city of Lingnan are even more extraordinary.
The Ximen clan does have strength, but if you really think about it, I'm afraid it's not completely for the Simon clan.
The greatness of the main city of Lingnan not only refers to the visible prosperity, but also the undercurrent of turbulence that ordinary people cannot see.
If you really want to talk about the ranking of forces, relying only on the Ximen Jiye of a Jianghu person, the Ximen clan cannot be called a top family. Even if the word "top" is erased, it is still a little meaningless.
Just as Shan and Shuang were looking around, a fat little fat man walked over without squinting, with a smile on his face, and hugged Shan Shuang with the rules of the rivers and lakes, "Brother Shan! ”
Shan Shuang was stunned, and made sure again and again that the little fat man in front of him, who had a big belly and could barely see the tips of his shoes, was indeed a stranger.
He returned the salute with his fists and asked, "I don't know what Brother Tai is?"
The little fat man rubbed his smiling face, and solemnly went up, "In Xiayue Tianze, the sky in the sky, the Ze of Yunze!"
I wanted to talk a few more words, but I saw that Simon Jiye had already come to power. Although the little fat man didn't need to look at the old man's face, he was a guest after all, so he just said to Shan Shuang, "It's inconvenient today, please have a drink in the future." In this main city of Lingnan, brothers and I still have some ways, especially Huajiu, it is right to find me. ”
After speaking, he returned to the merchant. Look at that position, but in the top two, in the business industry, I am afraid that the status is not low.
The woman glanced at herself twice, and seemed to dislike the little fat man a lot, and asked, "How did you know this disciple?"
Scratching his head, he made sure he hadn't seen this person, and asked, "Do you know him?"
The woman said in a strange voice, "I'm afraid there is no one in the city who doesn't know him." If you really want to say that you have money, the entire main city of Lingnan, that is, the county king's mansion, does not dare to pack tickets with more money than him. The main city of Lingnan, the second richest man, can be regarded as having some skills.
Shan Shuang still has a lot of doubts, the disgust in the eyes of the heroine does not look like a fake, but that sentence has some ability, peers, it is the first time to see a woman have this kind of praise.
On the high platform, Ximen Jiye came to the stage again with the support of the woman.
Indispensable, of course, is a polite greeting.
I can't say I like it, but I can't say I hate it. Some words may not sound very good to others, or even feel bored, but if they are not, they will provoke others to scold.
If you really want to make a sense, it's nothing more than a person who is not all the way. And this conference can't be all the way.
The banquet of the Ximen family also has a unique flavor, among which the two bowls of soup are the most strange, there is a smell of medicinal residue, black and painted, not to mention that the entrance is sweet, just don't vomit, it is very good.
But everyone ate a lot, even those pampered businessmen, each pinched his nose and poured himself a bowl.
When the soup enters the throat, it is not as bitter as the mouth. When I went down to my stomach again, there was a trace of warmth scattered around, and for a moment, I was actually sweating profusely.
Fortunately, it only lasts for a moment, and it is already dissipated and invisible.
The woman reminded appropriately, "If you can bear it, drink more, it is not a big effect, but it can be good for stubborn diseases and strain injuries." ”
When I heard about it, I looked around, and sure enough, the people in the rivers and lakes drank more, and they went down with a bowl again. After three bowls in a row, I was a little dizzy and stopped.
Looking at the three bowls, it seemed that there was still unfinished single and double, and the woman couldn't help frowning. It's not because you can't drink more of this soup, but anyway, it's something that the Simon clan took out to win people's hearts, and they don't drink it for nothing.
But the amount of medicine that can be borne by both is a bit surprising, which is a good thing, but it can also become a bad thing.
There were not a few people present who drank more than three bowls. But most of them are old rivers and lakes, characters who have traveled in the rivers and lakes for decades, and they don't have some stubborn diseases.
Looking at the single and double, but a little white who has just entered the rivers and lakes for half a year, although he has a lot of experience, where can he accumulate any stubborn diseases?
The reason why it can withstand it is more because of strain injuries.
Shan Shuang said well, boxing is a kung fu that is sharpened little by little.
But polishing requires capital, people are flesh and blood, and there is a limit after all. Punching every day, wearing out every day, even when steel is also at a loss.
This little strain injury is nothing for a while. But day by day, month by month, on this road of cultivation, you may not wait for you to reach the peak, and you will already be worn to death by yourself in the middle.
This kind of precedent is not unprecedented, and it accounts for the vast majority.
The heroine and Shan Shuang said carefully, especially on the way to cultivation. Whether it is a fist or a sword, the woman speaks softly to Shan Shuang.
Both love boxing, but the woman prefers him to pick up kendo in the future. It is not easy to get a spirit sword to recognize the master, it is the result of chance and wealth. can make the spirit sword sincerely admit the Lord, that is even more difficult, this is its own place.
Since you already have such a blessed fate, becoming a sword cultivator is the way to become a sooner or later person.
The road of cultivation is not only sweat, but also the accumulation of wealth.
Whether it's a sword, a fist, or something else.
Shan Shuang listened carefully, and his understanding of this road was very limited.
Mr. has always only lectured to himself, and the teacher may be able to speak, but the sky of the secluded continent can't tolerate those times.
Moreover, Heiwa, I'm afraid that in his eyes, he never felt that this was a difficult thing.
Therefore, Shan Shuang asked a lot in his heart, and the woman was only surprised for a short time, so she explained to him one by one, and for a while, Shan Shuang woke up like a dream.
Originally, this path of cultivation is like learning.
Shan and Shuang diligently sought advice, and the banquet lasted for a long time due to the time of this soup.
Especially this Jianghu person, he is even more reluctant to end. But it can also be seen that this favor was still sent out by the Simon family.
Therefore, the Simons were not in any hurry. Wait for everyone to eat and drink enough, and then the little doctor will come up to clean up the mess.
By the way, a small bottle will also be left for everyone.
One and two looked at it, it was the black soup, only more viscous, like the plaster.
Even the monk who carried the sword was put away. It can be seen that this vial is indeed very attractive.
When everything was done, a yellow pure gold garden basin was brought up by the woman under the gaze of everyone.
At the table, some of the whisperers quietly shut their mouths. And before the feast began, those who had received the good also dispersed, and went to the place where they ought to go.
Shan Shuang has been paying attention to the three old rivers and lakes who received the Yuan Dan of the Ximen clan yesterday. The three of them jumped into the courtyard and quietly observed, any flying grass movement would be the moment for them to make a move.
After the greetings, Ximen Jiye, who had disappeared, finally waited on the high platform again.
The smile that had been hanging on seemed to have disappeared.
hugged his fists to everyone, and Ximen Jiye suddenly sighed, the five-flavor miscellaneous bottle is complete.
Taking a heavy breath, he bowed again and said, "Thank you again for coming to the conference and witnessing for me. I Ximen Jiye entered the rivers and lakes at the age of seventeen, and after eighty-nine years of ups and downs, I was lucky to still be alive. Now, Jin Basin washes his hands, vowing not to step into the rivers and lakes again, and no longer to care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, if he violates this covenant, he will be punished by God!"
Raise your hand to three pillars of incense and bow to the sky three times. When he got up, his eyes were fixed on the golden basin.
"Wash your hands in the golden basin, can you ask me to say yes?"
Just as the old man was walking towards the golden basin, a Jianghu man suddenly drew a knife and rose from Shan Shuang's side, and the cold glow made Shan and Shuang stiff!
Mountain man!
A swordsman, just like the edge of a swordsman!
Moreover, it is even more domineering!
The knife went straight to Ximen Jiye, opened and closed, and before he got close, it was already a violent wind.
The three of them who had already prepared the offerings were also taken aback, thinking that it was a sneak attack, who would have thought that the swordsman would be so happy!
Before drawing the knife, there was no superfluous movement, even the eyes did not float for half a minute.
Wait for the knife to come out of the sheath, and the killing intent has arrived!
The three worshippers were not ordinary people, although they were ashamed, but at the same time as they were angry, their bodies had already rushed out.
Their respective weapons went straight for the swordsmen, and one of them walked briskly and blocked the swordsman first. He held the iron fan in his hand to his chest and took the lead in blocking the heavy blow.
It's just that this swordsman already occupies a hegemonic character and takes the initiative, without any accidents, this person flew back upside down.
The other two shouted violently and hurriedly stepped up. was blocked by the previous person, and although the swordsman was still domineering, he finally fell into a fight!
"Be careful!"
I don't know who mentioned it, and the two worshippers who blocked the swordsman looked back, and it turned out that Zhang Xian, who was flying upside down, not only did not step forward again, but fell to the high platform with the power of the swordsman.
The next moment, the edge of the iron fan fan was exposed, and the knife in his hand was slashed, and it also went towards the throat of Ximen Jiye.
This time, even Ximen Jiye showed a warm and angry look.
Bite!
Ximen Jiye turned sideways, and the knife in his hand could only retreat, and it fell on his chest, but it was the sound of metal colliding.
But he didn't care about it, and he didn't care about whether Ximen Jiye could fight back, so he beckoned to him with a knife in his hand.
Ximen Jiye kept dodging, several life and death crises, and his gray hair was scattered, so he could only retreat.
The heroine explained in her heart, "When the golden basin washes its hands, the grudge ends." The rules of the rivers and lakes are set by whoever personally, and there is a reason for their existence. If you want to really wash your hands, Ximen Jiye can't fight back against anyone during this period. can only rely on others to stop and prove that there are more people who want him to live than they want him to die. ”
Nothing more than good and bad is the difference between good and bad.
Does the fact that someone else survive must prove that that person is better than evil?
If you can't live, it must mean that this person's evil is greater than his occasional good deeds?
I don't dare to agree with this truth. But when you think about it, there seems to be no other way.
The rivers and lakes are just doing what they want, and they don't pay attention to the rules, and if they want to set an iron rule, it's not easy.
Looking at the current situation, a knife in a hand was unexpectedly knocked away by a pair of black iron armor, and before Zhang Xianfeng fought again, there was a black iron armor that firmly surrounded him.
The thorny iron armor is, after all, the hole card of this mansion.
The two thorny iron armors stood beside the old man, and the woman hurriedly straightened the golden basin that had been knocked down, whether it was the swordsman or Zhang Xian, they all retreated to the corner with a blue face!
The look of jealousy is as dignified as an abyss!
Guarded by two thorny iron armors, the old man's hand finally touched the water.
Poof!
There was another piercing sound, and the woman retreated. Blood was dripping from the dagger in his hand, up to the end of the dagger!
Even the old man who was chased and killed by Zhang Feng, who was calm, his eyes were already red at this moment, and he said word by word, "Why? I treat you like my own daughter, and I hand over the business of the entire Ximen clan to you to take care of!"
The woman fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face, but she had no remorse, "Lei'er is in their hands, and I have no other way." This life is a blessing, and I can only repay it in the future!"
When the words fell, it turned out to be a dagger that killed himself on the spot, and blood splattered three feet.
"What a view!"
If someone comes out again, it is also behind the old man.
It's just that as soon as this doctor appeared, he was immediately surrounded by the thorny iron armor with a highly nervous expression.
Shan Shuang wanted to get up, but was pulled by the woman.
Lou Po Hee!
This person is the little doctor who received everyone when he first came to the main city of Lingnan, Lu Baoxi!
A peer who thinks it's good in both singles and doubles!
Faced with the encirclement of thorns and iron armor, Lu Baoxi didn't care at all, and said indifferently, "Don't be nervous, I'm not from the mountains, and I can't even talk about the rivers and lakes." I've never held a sword, let alone killed someone!, I'm here just to give a gift!"
He threw a package he was holding in front of Ximen Jiye, and let the thorn iron armor firmly control it.
Ximen Jiye took a deep breath, his expression became more and more uneasy, and he trembled and said, "Open!"
Someone opened it, but he took a few steps back and said, "Yes! It's the young master! and, three..."
Looking at it, there were two bloody heads inside the package.
One looks middle-aged, and the other is still a teenager.
Ximen Jiye was completely paralyzed to the ground, looking at the two heads in a daze, and muttered, "It's so poisonous!
Lu Baoxi laughed wildly, but the sadness in his expression was no less than that of Ximen Jiye, "Evil? This is called evil? My family of six, more than 200 people in the township, all died in your hands, can't you still afford the word evil? You, the property of the Ximen family, that shop was not built on blood?"
Ximen Jiye raised his head, in a pair of eyes, hatred and remorse, constantly intertwined, at that moment, the rumors of the rivers and lakes for many years seemed to have been confirmed!
Lu Baoxi was even closer to madness, laughing and laughing, "It's ridiculous to wash your hands in a golden basin." If your hands can still be washed, what kind of heavenly justice do you need?"
The captain of the Thorn Iron Armor looked gloomy and said in a deep voice, "Take it down!"
A thorn iron armor hurriedly responded, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, there were blood stains flowing from the corners of Lu Dabao's mouth, and the thorn iron armor hurriedly pinched his cheeks, but unfortunately it was already black blood and vomited, and when he saw it, he lost his breath.
"I took the poison in advance, and I can't save it!"
The thorny iron armor took a closer look, the poison had penetrated deep into the lungs, and the internal organs were eroding, not to mention ordinary people, even people on the mountain, they could not escape.
The captain of the Thorn Iron Armor also scolded angrily, "Damn it!"
Xuan even set his eyes on the two mountain people, but the two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly there was an explosion in the courtyard.
For a while, the smoke was filled, and the green powder was wafting!
"Be careful!
After being reminded, everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses. Soon, it was the wind, and another thorny iron armor stood on the eaves, and more importantly, there were two white marks on the shoulders!
Looking at the figure that was fleeing towards the north gate, this person did not immediately catch up, and said, "Everyone, the affairs of the people in the rivers and lakes will be handed over to you, the prince said, if there is merit this time, it will be the first merit of the Zhongyi Hall, and he will not be stingy with rewards!"
As soon as this person said a word, the people in the rivers and lakes immediately began to act.
The first group to go, the most hurried. Only then did Shan Shuang realize that the people recruited by this Zhongyi Hall were far more than those three worshippers.
After glancing at the golden basin, there was still some water left. It's just that it's not as clear as that, and the woman's gushing blood has already completely stained it red!
This water is the water of blood!
The leader of the thorn iron armor glanced at Ximen Jiye, who was still sluggish, although the dagger failed to kill him.
But the three people lying on the ground completely collapsed his spirit. After a long time, he raised his head, "I want to see the prince, and I also ask Commander Zhao to lead the way." ”
Commander Zhao sighed with gratitude, and many thorny iron armors immediately protected the old man. When this copper mountain and iron wall really join forces, the thick breath is really as stable as Mount Tai.
Looking at the already messy courtyard, who would have thought that a moment ago, everyone here was still laughing and singing.
I was secretly happy in my heart and got a bottle of treasure medicine.
Luo Beisheng looked solemn and said, "If the four of us form a team, these people are not simple characters." If someone dies, the official family will inevitably issue a task, whether it is to repay the favor or for the bounty, you have to try. ”
The woman looked at Shan Shuang, before coming here, Shan and Shuang had no intention of helping, more of a way to see the world.
But after thinking about it a lot, he nodded.
Maybe Ximen Jiye really has blood on his hands, but that young man is always innocent.
Just look at the eyes that have never been closed until now, and there are still some childishness.
When is the time for retribution, it should not be such an ignorant child who pays the price.
The four of them followed the crowd that gradually dispersed, and out of the Ximen Mansion, they also galloped towards the south.
The courtyard is finally quiet.
It's just that the blood in the golden basin may be mixed with water, and it refuses to condense.
The golden basin washes its hands, and the grudge ends. The end of the road is just a moon in the water.
A broken moon, seemingly there, holding empty in his hand.
In these rivers and lakes, where is there a way back? When will the enmity be settled?
