When Ye returned to the lobby with the wind, it was already the hour.

Except for the servants and guards, there were only a few Xue Dingtian in the hall, Xue Dingtian got up and said: "Feng'er, the Xue family has used swords as tools for generations, and their ancestors have learned the way of swords. There are forty men up and down the Xue family, all of whom have swords, practice swords, and practice swords. Now, you are the crown year, although you are the queen of the Ye family, but you are in the Xue family, and your father and I are also friends of life and death, I will give you a sword today, I hope you can clear your heart with a sword, and clear your ambition with a sword. Then the servant walked to Ye Suifeng with two boxes, and then opened the first box, and in an instant a hot air rushed to his face, and there was a phoenix nirvana, Ye Suifeng fixed his eyes and saw that a sword with a red body, although the sword was not yet unsheathed, Ye Suifeng had already felt the domineering aura of this sword, and couldn't help but say: "Good sword!" Xue Dingtian said: "This first sword is a gift from a friend, it is Zhang Yajiu Master with meteoric iron casting, it is said that the heat emitted when it is cast attracts a phoenix thousands of miles away, so it is called 'Feng Yin'." ”

Then the servant opened another box, the sword lying in the box, all black, compared to the previous sword, this sword is slightly inferior, but the faint light covered on the scabbard also made Ye Suifeng feel that this sword is not good, what attracted Ye Suifeng's attention even more was the word "ink bamboo" on the scabbard, "ink bamboo!" Ye Suifeng looked at this sword in surprise.

Xue Dingtian smiled: "Feng'er, is this sword familiar?" Ye Suifeng nodded, and Xue Dingtian continued: "It is your father's sword, and it is also the sword handed down by your Ye family ancestors." Then, Xue Dingtian walked up to Ye Suifeng's side and said, "These two swords are both good swords, which one you want, it depends on your own choice." ”

Ye Suifeng thought to himself, "Although 'Fengyin' is a good sword, how can it be as important as the things of the ancestors. "Just as he was about to take the 'ink bamboo', Xue Yingtian, who was sitting next to him at this time, said: "Feng'er, although these two swords are both good swords, according to Xue's opinion, this first sword is cast by a famous craftsman, and its momentum is more domineering, if this sword is in Feng'er's hand, wouldn't it be more suitable!" Ye Suifeng glanced at Xue Yingtian, remembered the words on the paper, and withdrew his hand. Xue Dingtian noticed Ye Suifeng's movements and said to Xue Yingtian: "Brother, don't interfere with Feng'er. "Win the sky, don't speak!" Xue Yunhua scolded. At this time, Ye Suifeng not only took care of the 'ink bamboo', but also wanted to know who slaughtered the Ye family, and fell into distress for a while.

Ye Suifeng looked at 'Mozhu', and gradually fell into memory: it was Ye Suifeng when he was six years old, watching his father worship 'Mozhu' under the tablets of the ancestors, and asked puzzledly: "Father, isn't 'Mozhu' just a sword? Why do you worship it?" The father was shocked and scolded in a low voice: "Feng'er, don't talk nonsense!" Then he kowtowed to the tablet and said: "Feng'er is still young and ignorant, please don't blame the ancestors!" After getting up and saying to Ye Suifeng: " Feng'er, although this is a sword, its role is not to resist foreign enemies, it can make the Ye family a high-ranking family in the Japanese side, and it can also make generations of Ye family disciples strict with themselves, Mingde and righteousness, and can even support the Ye family to stand tall in the wind and rain for thousands of years. For the Ye family, this sword is the top priority. Ye Suifeng looked at his father with a look of surprise and asked, "Does it really have that much ability?" The father walked over and touched his head to him, and said softly: "Seeing this sword is like seeing an ancestor." Thinking of the scene back then, Ye Suifeng clenched his fists and said to the elders of the Xue family in the lobby: "The revenge of the extermination of the clan must be avenged, but if I still give up the weight of the family, how can I have the face to face my father, how can I have the face to face the ancestors of the Ye family!" After speaking, he picked up the 'ink bamboo', dragged it with both hands, and said: "The 'ink bamboo' is not lost, and the Ye family is not destroyed!"

Xue Yingtian's face gradually darkened, and his eyes were full of anger. Xue Dingtian glanced at Xue Yingtian, then patted Ye Suifeng and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Feng'er is so courageous, worthy of being my eldest brother's son." Then he said to everyone in the lobby: "You all go back, I want to say a few words to Feng'er alone." After the others left, Xue Dingtian also asked the servants and guards to wait outside the door. In the lobby at this time, there were only Xue Dingtian and Ye Suifeng.

Xue Dingtian slowly sat back in his chair, picked up the cup on the table, and said, "Your father loved to drink this kind of nightless wait back then. Then he took a sip, frowned, and said, "It's just a little bitter." "Uncle Xue......" Ye Suifeng was stopped by Xue Dingtian as soon as he opened his mouth, and Xue Dingtian said: "Feng'er, do you know where your sister Xue Liwen is?" "I heard Sister Yu say that Sister A is in Taiyuan. Ye replied respectfully. Xue Dingtian said: "Taiyuan, but it is the starting point of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Gaozu sent troops there." Ye Suifeng nodded and said, "Because Tang Gaozu sent troops to Taiyuan, Taiyuan was also highly valued by the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, if there are more virtuous people like Di Lianggong to govern, Taiyuan may become the second Chang'an." ”

Xue Dingtian got up and said: "More than forty years ago, I was the same age as you, I said goodbye to my parents and wandered alone with a sword, I wanted to improve my swordsmanship and mind through experience, I wandered to Taiyuan, and lived in a village temporarily, I learned that a local rich man named Gao Jiang was doing evil, and he was running into Gao Jiang's eldest son bullying the people, I was angry for a while, and killed his eldest son on the spot, and I was also hunted down by Gao Jiang. Xue Dingtian got up and walked to Ye Suifeng, and said: "I escaped for a few days, but I was still blocked in the tavern, my heart was crossed, and I was just about to fight hard, but your father who was drinking next to me took a sword and asked me: 'Who is who?' I looked at your father vigilantly and replied: 'Luyang people, Gao Jiang. Your father sneered, drew his sword, and killed the man who pursued me. Xue Dingtian took the sword in Ye Suifeng's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "Your father didn't use this sword at that time, so ah, 'Mozhu'! I haven't seen it many times." ”

Ye Suifeng picked up the 'Mozhu', and Xue Dingtian continued: "Your father took me back to the inn, and then I learned that your father was also from Luyang, and he gathered more than a dozen people to prepare to teach the rich and wealthy families a lesson, but I didn't join them because of the exhaustion of being hunted down. Your father sent me to the inn, and I didn't see him for a few days. Xue Dingtian pulled Ye Suifeng to the chair next to him and sat down together. "Father must have gone to teach the rich man a lesson. "Ye follows the wind channel. Xue Dingtian shook his head and said, "One night, I saw your father and others who had just returned to the inn, there were originally more than a dozen people, but only six people came back, and their clothes were tattered and embarrassed, especially your father, blood stains covered the entire long shirt, and there were countless wounds on his body. ”

"The innkeeper brought in someone to help them take care of it, and after tidying up, your father and I described the situation: when they arrived outside the Gao Mansion, they found blood stains on the ground, and the scene after entering the door made them even more stunned, the courtyard was in a mess, scattered weapons and countless corpses. Your father and they went to check, they were all guards and servants of the high mansion, at that time your father was going to the dormitory to find anyone who was still alive, as soon as he arrived at the door, your father heard the sound of drawing a bow, thought badly, and immediately jumped sideways, and then three arrows broke through the door, and the others were about to enter the house, your father made a gesture to signal them to dodge, and he was just looking for a chance to go in, when suddenly there were voices all around, and your father was the first to notice, 'It's a bow and arrow!' Your father immediately shouted to the others.

"Then it was your father, and they tried their best to escape, but many of their brothers died. "Who are they?" Ye Suifeng asked, Xue Dingtian said: "I don't know, your father and they have already checked the surroundings at that time, there should be no mistakes, and according to your father's description, the arrows were shot from all directions, so it is difficult to judge the direction." "Then what's the situation with the Gao family?" Ye Suifeng continued to ask. Xue Dingtian thought for a moment and said, "I remember...... The Gao family seems to have died more than 30 people, and Gao Jiang also died in the upper room, but when sorting out the body, he didn't see Gao Xiangli, the third daughter of the Gao family, and she should have fled. Ye Suifeng said: "After this, my father returned to Luyang?" Xue Dingtian said: "No, we stayed in Taiyuan for a few years, and then returned to Luyang together, and each inherited the family business." ”

At the same time, Xue Lisheng had just come out of Xue Liyu's boudoir and was about to return to his room, when he saw that the servants who should have been in the lobby were outside, so he walked to the lobby, and just walked to the lobby, a guard stopped Xue Lisheng and said, "Second lady, Xue Alang has an order not to allow others to enter the lobby." Xue Lisheng felt strange, so he asked him, "Who is inside?" At this time, a guard who came over replied: "Back to the second lady, there are only Xue Alang and Ye Langjun." "This person's name is Fang Xu, and he is the leading guard of the Xue Mansion and Xue Dingtian's personal guard. Xue Lisheng was about to speak, when the sudden "whooshing" sound in her ears caught her attention, and she felt very strange. Xue Lisheng looked around vigilantly and asked, "Did you hear any sound?" Fang Xu carefully examined the surroundings. Xue Lisheng yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong, I'll go back to rest first, you should strengthen your guard!" After speaking, he quickly walked back to his boudoir.

At this time, the conversation between Xue Dingtian and Ye Suifeng continued, and Ye Suifeng asked: "Uncle Xue, what kind of person is my father?" Xue Dingtian was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said: "Your father is very easy-going, and he has a lot of friends. Your father also likes to drink, especially like to drink rice wine, at that time the wine was not something that ordinary people could afford to drink, at that time the wine was 10,000 taels and one bucket, your father was drinking with water in the wine, although it was a little lighter, but a bucket could be drunk for a long time. Xue Dingtian suddenly noticed something, so he stopped talking, Ye Suifeng noticed Xue Dingtian's abnormality, and asked: "Uncle Xue, what's wrong?" Xue Dingtian calmed down and said: "It's okay, what I envy the most is your father's light skills, your father's light skills are very good, especially after drinking, it is even more one-way for dozens of miles without resting, so your father also got a nickname: 'Dipping wine lightly'." ”

Ye Suifeng asked again: "Uncle Xue, my mother is ......" "Feng'er, it's not too early, you should go back!" Before Ye Suifeng could finish speaking, Xue Dingtian interrupted him, called Fang Xu, and said, "You escort Ye Langjun back!" Ye Suifeng saw that he couldn't keep it, so he took "Mozhu" and Fang Xu back together.

In the lobby at this time, Xue Dingtian returned to his seat, adjusted his comfortable posture, closed his eyes, and said, "Come out!" At this time, a black shadow jumped down from the beam of the room and sat next to him. The man said through the mask: "That is the son of Ye Qianxing and Nangong Wenge, but it is somewhat similar!" Before the mask man could react, a sword was already on his neck, and the sword bearer was Xue Dingtian, Xue Dingtian threatened: "I warn you, if you dare to harm his life, you have to think about the consequences." The masked man sneered, pulled away his sword, and said, "Don't worry, 'gluttony' won't take his life, but 'Mozhu' must be ours." The masked man got up and said to Xue Dingtian: "Also, don't threaten us, don't forget, how the Ye family didn't have it, and don't forget, how did your Xue family survive." After speaking, he jumped on the beam of the room and left, leaving Xue Dingtian standing in the lobby expressionlessly.
