Chapter 40: Knowing each other with the piano

"The Chu family and the Wen family have a close relationship, and Chu Zhongyue and Ling Zun have been friends for decades. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Then why did Gongzi Wen hide the death of Ling Zun from Bai Hua, could it be that Gongzi Wen had long suspected that the Chu family was suspicious?"

Wen Jiufeng raised his head and glanced at the white curtains and everlasting lamps covered in the stone house, and did not answer this question directly, but just asked, "Is this answer important?"

"Important. ”

Ye Jinyi didn't drag his feet, he just answered these two words simply, once he got to the point, he would no longer engage in psychological warfare as he did at the beginning, he had to know the answer as soon as possible.

Seeing Ye Jinyi's resolute attitude, Wen Jiufeng didn't hide it, but just sighed and said, "My father once told me before his death that you should not trust the Chu family. ”

"Why?"

Wen Jiufeng sat on the ice bed, raised his hand to comb Wen Qiongju's somewhat messy hair, looked at Wen Qiongju's still bloodless face for a long time, and then raised his head and said: "Once, my father was gullible about Chu Zhongyue, but it turned out to be a big mistake, leaving a stain on it. ”

Ye Jinyi stared at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Jiufeng said: "He killed his confidant and friend by mistake. ”

When he said this, Wen Jiufeng's face was sad, and it seemed that he could also sense Wen Qiongju's self-blame and guilt at that time. Because of a lie from others, he killed a friend who knew and met him, although he couldn't fully empathize with this kind of sadness, but he could also understand one or two.

Ye Jinyi sneered and said, "Jade without a trace?"

Hearing this, Wen Jiufeng raised his head sharply and snorted coldly: "How do you know?"

After saying this, he regretted it, because he put the answer clearly in front of Ye Jinyi, and also spread the stain that his father had been hiding in front of Ye Jinyi.

Stains, big or small, are always dishonorable.

Moreover, this stain really cannot be ignored or forgiven.

Ye Jinyi said: "Because Ling Zun's confidant has no trace except jade, and there is no one else." ”

Wen Jiufeng looked at Wen Qiongju, and a sadness welled up in his heart, he sighed and said, "Yes, there is no one else." ”

In this turbulent rivers and lakes, pedestrians who can walk all the way are easy to find, but confidants who can drink wine together are difficult to find. And Jade Without a Trace is the only person in Wen Qiongju's life who can drink a glass of wine together.

Yu Wuxian is used to being free and easy, likes to make friends, and plays the piano in addition to practicing the sword on weekdays, while Wen Qiongju is wooden by nature, unwilling to communicate with people a lot, and his only hobby is to play the piano.

But one day, Wen Qiongju, who was wooden by nature, met this free and easy jade traceless, and the two of them regarded the piano as their life, so they drank and played together for three days and three nights, and then said goodbye and left, and since then, the two have become confidants and friends who have become friends with the piano. In addition, Wen Qiongju has always been not good at communicating with people, so he regards Yu Wuji, the only friend, as extremely important.

However, no one could have imagined what would happen next.

Ye Jinyi couldn't hold back a sadness in her heart, and asked again: "So, what happened back then was not what the Chu family said. ”

Wen Jiufeng didn't answer, just raised his hand to hold Wen Qiongju's stiff and cold hand, as if hesitating. Because the things back then were not trivial, involving too many innocent lives, the reputation of several major sects, and even more involving Wen Qiongju, he couldn't just say it hastily.

But these questions about Ye Jinyi made him doubt the identity of Ye Jinyi, because all of Ye Jinyi's questions pointed to the events of the Cliff Villa back then, and he had some questions, could the night Jinyi in front of him have anything to do with the events of the year. Thinking like this, he looked up at Ye Jinyi with a deep inquiry in his eyes.

"Wen Gongzi doesn't want to say it, so I'll talk about it. Ye Jinyi saw the doubts and entanglements in Wen Jiufeng's heart, and smiled bitterly, both of them knew the truth, but they just needed someone who had the courage to say it. It's hard to say, but it's not necessarily hard to admit.

"Ten years ago, Chu Zhongyue, Tian Qingyun, and Zuo Tianqiong coveted the peerless secret book Lechuan Zhi obtained by the Yu family, so they found the master of the palace, the master of Wen Pavilion and Zhao Yuanqi, and lied that Yu Wuxian and Ji Rong conspired to practice evil skills to endanger the martial arts, and planned to eradicate the jade Wuxian for the martial arts. After that, they blamed Kongtong Tomb and eradicated the Ji family in the name of avenging the Yu family. When Ye Jinyi said this, he suddenly sneered, "In the eyes of those who don't know, Chu Zhongyue is righteous and righteous to avenge his righteous brother, and he is chivalrous and courageous. In the eyes of Pavilion Lord Wen and others, Jade Wuxian is unkind and unjust, but Chu Zhongyue can still think about it and maintain its reputation, which is really affectionate and righteous. It's a wonderful way to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Wen Jiufeng frowned and said, "My father struggled when he received the letter, on the one hand, morality, and on the other, brotherhood. But Chu Zhongyue knows my father too well, and he knows that no matter how much my father hesitates, he will choose morality in the end. ”

Ye Jinyi said, "How did Pavilion Master Wen know the truth?"

Wen Jiufeng said: "Tian Qingyun was drunk and told the truth. ”

Ye Jinyi didn't say anything anymore, just looked up at the white curtain hanging on the roof, his nose was sore, the corners of his eyes were damp, and his chest was suffocating from depression. He closed his eyes slightly, and held back the tears that were about to overflow.

He reminded himself over and over again not to lose control, but this feeling of pain and sorrow always came to him like a tidal wave, drowning him in a heavy grief and suffocating.

At this time, he just wanted to take out a dagger and stab Wen Qiongju's corpse fiercely, until he was covered with scars all over his body, until he was unrecognizable, he wanted to reach out and burn Wen Qiongju's body into charcoal and turn it into a pile of powder, he just wanted to abuse Wen Qiongju in all the vicious ways he could think of.

But even so, there was no way to make the anger and hatred in his heart subside by half a point.

He should have been the happiest person, he should have been by his father's side to fulfill his filial piety, he should have watched the prosperity of the world with the people he loved, and then watched their children grow up day by day.

However, these dreams that should have become a reality were ruthlessly torn apart by them, in order to satisfy their greed, in order to satisfy their sense of justice, and for the sake of that thing called morality.

Amusing. Lamentable. Wretched.

He pursed his lips, smiling extremely coldly, smiling extremely sarcastically, but his scarlet eyes revealed his depression and pain at this moment.

"Who are you?"

Wen Jiufeng finally asked this question, the question he wanted to know from beginning to end. This man is too mysterious and too terrifying, and I am afraid that no one will not be interested in such a person.

The important thing is that this person must be an extremely important person in the whole matter, otherwise how could he know what had happened so clearly, and how could he help him get rid of the Chu family and Wujimen.

Ye Jinyi turned around and said softly, "You'll know who I am?" but not now. ”

Wen Jiufeng frowned and said, "When was that?"

Ye Jinyi said: "When you have revenge." ”

With that, he raised his feet and walked out, and when he was about to walk out of the hall, he turned his head and glanced at Wen Qiongju's corpse, and said coldly: "There is no point in concealing the death of the Wen Pavilion Lord, let the Wen Pavilion Master be buried as soon as possible." ”

Wen Jiufeng looked down at Wen Qiongju's corpse, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Dad, I will avenge you." ”

In the next few days, Wen Jiufeng arranged Wen Qiongju's funeral, and it was only in these days that the news of Wen Qiongju's death spread. Because Wen Qiongju can also be regarded as a highly respected figure in the rivers and lakes, there are many people who come to mourn.

Among them, naturally including Chu Zhongyue's father and son.

Before Wen Qiongju was buried, Ye Jinyi quietly left Tianyin Pavilion with Wei Qingxiao and rushed towards Lingyan Mountain.

Wei Qingxiao rode on his horse, glanced back at the Tianyin Pavilion located on the side of the Dome Mountain, and then looked sideways at Ye Jinyi and asked, "So you left?"

Ye Jinyi said, "Do you want to stay and wait for Chu Zhongyue to find us?"

Wei Qing smiled and asked, "Will Wen Jiufeng believe your words?"

Ye Jinyi paused for a moment before replying, "Yes." ”

It doesn't matter if Wen Jiufeng doesn't believe him, what matters is that he believes that Wen Jiufeng will definitely choose to listen to his opinion on this matter. Moreover, Wen Jiufeng is a smart person, and he knows how to implement this plan. And these things don't need them to talk face-to-face, they already know it in their hearts.

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he also looked at Wei Qing and smiled: "How long have you been away from the Plum Palace?"

Wei Qing smiled and thought for a moment before replying, "It's been about two months." ”

Ye Jinyi nodded, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "You go back and have a look." ”

Wei Qing turned his head with a smile, opened his eyes wide and asked, "You want to leave me alone again?"

Seeing Ye Jinyi looking at him with some puzzlement, he suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, stopped, and shouted at Ye Jinyi: "Didn't you say that you would settle this matter together?" I don't care, I won't go back." ”

Ye Jinyi looked at Wei Qing and suddenly lost his temper like a child, and he stayed where he was, so he suddenly laughed, and then shook his head helplessly and looked at Wei Qing and smiled.

"I'm going to visit Lady Falling Flowers. ”

"No matter who you visit, I'm going to Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· together" Wei Qingxiao suddenly came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Jinyi in surprise, "You go back with me?"

Ye Jinyi didn't answer, looked at Wei Qing helplessly and sighed, directly lifted the whip and whipped it on the horse's back, and the white horse ran in one direction on the road. Seeing this, Wei Qing immediately pulled aside on the horse's back, looked at Ye Jinyi's back with a smile and shouted, "Are you really going back with meΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Two men rode horses along the road, one after the other, accompanied by the sound of conversation and laughter, like two children chasing each other and playing.

Ye Jinyi rode on the horse and glanced back at Tianyin Pavilion, which was getting farther and farther away, the smile on his face did not fade, but his eyes became cold, just this glance, he turned around, whipped on the horse's back again, sped up his speed, and walked away.

At this time, Tianyin Pavilion was holding a funeral for Wen Qiongju, and Chu Zhongyue, who was standing in front of the crowd, glanced at Wen Jiufeng, who had been receiving guests calmly, and then walked over and put incense in front of Wen Qiongju's coffin, before walking in front of Wen Jiufeng and reaching out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Virtuous nephew, I have the same brotherhood as Brother Wen, and now that he has been killed, I will never sit idly by, and I will definitely help the Wen family avenge this great revenge. ”

Wen Jiufeng's eyes sank, and he glanced at the big palm that Chu Zhongyue attached to his shoulder, still bowed respectfully to Chu Zhongyue, and said with a sad face: "It's not a secret, my father was killed half a month ago, but Jiufeng has not announced this matter for a long time. ”

Chu Zhongyue asked knowingly, "Oh, why is this virtuous nephew?"

Wen Jiufeng stabilized his mind before turning around and standing in front of the hall and said to the guests in the hall: "Jiufeng has found out that the murderer of my father is Wujimen. But my father has always been reluctant to intervene in the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, and now he has left a will not allow us to avenge him. Therefore, today, Jiufeng swore in front of all of you that from now on, Tianyin Pavilion would no longer intervene in the affairs of martial arts. ”

"This Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Hearing this, Chu Zhongyue's face tightened, but he didn't have a seizure, he just walked from behind Wen Jiufeng, trying to persuade Wen Jiufeng to change his mind, "Virtuous nephew, how can this revenge not be avenged, with the help of all of us, why can't you get rid of Wuji Gate?"

Wen Jiufeng first bowed to Chu Zhongyue, and then bowed to everyone in the hall and said, "This is my father's last wish, and I hope that the seniors can understand the painstaking efforts of my father and Jiufeng." ”

Seeing that Chu Zhongyue seemed to want to say something, Chu Xiuyue, who had been standing silently under the hall, finally spoke: "Father, this is a private matter of Tianyin Pavilion, and Pavilion Master Wen has left this will, so it is inconvenient for us to interfere more." ”

Wen Jiufeng looked at Chu Xiufeng, nodded slightly to him to express his gratitude, and then looked at Chu Zhongyue, who had a somewhat bad face, and said: "The Chu family and the Wen family have been together for decades, and Jiufeng doesn't want to see the Chu family also suffer a catastrophe. ”

When Chu Zhongyue heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "It's okay to talk about it." ”

Wen Jiufeng first glanced at the people in front of the hall who were also looking at him eagerly, and then raised his voice slightly: "A month ago, the Cliff Villa was attacked by gangsters, and more than 100 people died tragically. I wonder if my uncle has found out who the murderer is?"

Before Chu Zhongyue could speak, Chu Xiufeng took a step forward, stared at Wen Jiufeng and sneered, "Could it be that Gongzi Wen wants to say that the murderer is Wujimen?"

Wen Jiufeng said with a straight face: "Yes, this is what Jiufeng wants to say." ”

Chu Xiu said with a smile: "Young Master Wen himself does not want to take revenge, but deliberately induces me Qingyue Mountain Villa to deal with Wuji Gate, this abacus is good." ”

Chu Zhongyue didn't speak, just stroked his beard and looked at Wen Jiufeng, waiting for his next words.

"The owner of Chu Zhuang also said that he would help my Wen family take revenge, if Jiufeng really wants to use the hands of the Chu family to get rid of the Wuji Gate, then he will directly agree, why bother to make such a big panic?" Wen Jiufeng opened his mouth unhurriedly, and looked at Chu Zhongyue with a sincere face.
