The tenth day of the first month, Nangong Villa

The sound of coughing kept coming from a room, the door was heavily guarded, and two rows of samurai stood in unison, all mighty and majestic, without any blood on their faces, and their expressions were very serious, but there was a little sadness in this serious expression. People inside and outside the door came in and out, in a hurry. There is a man in the door with a burly figure, his temples are getting white, he is close to the age of destiny, standing with his hands behind his back, not angry and self-assured, constantly walking around, looking at the person lying on the bed from time to time, every time he looks, he sighs, seems to be very anxious but helpless. There was a woman next to her, slim and elegant, twenty-eight years old, the woman's face was like a crescent moon, like flowers and trees piling up snow, her chin was pointed, a cherry mouth was nimble and upright, her lips were very thin, and her two rows of thin teeth were like broken jade. There was a man lying on the bed, who seemed to be not much older than the woman, his face was pale and bloodless, his breathing was intermittent, and his face was painful.

The burly man is Nangong Yue, the owner of Nangong Villa today, the young man on the bed is Nangong Yun, the young owner of Nangong Villa, and the young girl next to him is Nangong Yu, the pearl of Nangong Villa.

Nangong Yue walked slowly at a table, propped his hands on the table, and sobbed in a low voice: "I think my Nangong family has stood in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, never involved in any disputes, and has no grudges against others, living here, just want to keep the foundation left by the ancestors, I can't imagine that I will suffer this catastrophe, I can't keep the incense of the Nangong family, I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I am ashamed of my wife......

Seeing this, Nangong Yu immediately went over to help Nangong Yue, and said in a low voice: "Daddy, don't be too sad, when we find out the real murderer, we will definitely make the murderer who injured my brother pay for his blood debt." ”

Nangong Yue raised his head to look at her, slowly raised his left hand that was clenching his fist, and let go of his fist little by little, only to see that there was a golden needle in the palm of his left palm!

Nangong Yu looked at the golden needle suspiciously and asked, "Daddy, what is this?"

Nangong Yue's eyes suddenly sharpened and said, "The murderer's secret weapon." ”

Nangong Yu asked again: "In that case, does Daddy know who his master is?"

Nangong Yue's gaze gradually dimmed, as if he had aged a lot in an instant, shook his head and kept waving his right hand, turned around and walked out of the door. Nangong Yu was even more puzzled, not understanding what his father meant. But she thought that since her father refused to say it, it naturally had his reasons. She turned to see Steward Ma standing behind her, her face was sad, and she asked softly, "How is my brother?"

Steward Ma said: "Yes, miss, the young master was first seriously hurt by the extremely deep internal force, and then was pierced through the chest by the golden needle in the hand of the owner just now, first internal injury and then external injury, if it wasn't for the golden needle deviated by three inches, the young master's life would have been lost, I don't know if the murderer did it deliberately, or deliberately tortured the young master, since January, I have seen that the young master's life is worse than death, it really makes the old slave's heart like a knife!"

Nangong Yu asked again: "Then Steward Ma, do you know who will use this kind of secret weapon in the rivers and lakes today?"

Steward Ma was startled, cautiously approached her, leaned close to her and whispered, "Xiao Xiangzi!"

When Nangong Yu heard this, he said angrily: "Since you know who it is, why don't you send someone to arrest him and pay for his life?"

Steward Ma was stunned when he heard this, he really felt funny for himself, and thought: "Miss doesn't know the world, has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, thinks that Xiao Xiangzi is an ordinary gentry bully, just tie it up casually, how did she know that this guy is the leader of today's martial arts alliance, and going against him is like an egg hitting a stone!"

Nangong Yu saw that Steward Ma was silent for a long time, knowing that he had something unspeakable, she had been a gentle and considerate person since she was a child, so she didn't ask questions.

Suddenly, Nangong Yun on the bed coughed violently again, and Nangong Yu and Steward Ma hurriedly walked over. Nangong Yu stroked Nangong Yun's chest with her hand and said softly, "Brother, how do you feel?"

Nangong Yun opened his eyes and looked at her, and nodded slowly. He said in a very weak voice: "Little sister, I'm afraid that my life will be short, and my father has never dared to say something to you, so I'll say it on my father's behalf today." ”

Nangong Yu looked at Steward Ma beside him with tears in her eyes, and said, "Steward Ma, it's getting late, please go and rest first, I still want to accompany my brother more." Steward Ma went out in response.

Nangong Yu said: "Brother, what do you want to say?"

Nangong Yundao: "Little sister, you are not my father's biological daughter, my father is actually your second uncle, but you and I are half-brothers!"

Nangong Yu was taken aback, she couldn't believe her ears, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Nangong Yun continued: "As the second son of the Nangong family, my father should not have inherited the position of the owner of Nangong Villa, just because your father was expelled from the Nangong family by our grandfather Nangong Bo. ”

Nangong Yu was confused when she heard it, and she only felt that she was inextricably linked, and she didn't know where to start. Hearing Nangong Yun said again: "I heard my father say that when my uncle was young, Yushu was in the wind, and he was suave, he was indeed a rare beautiful man, and he was young and promising, outstanding in martial arts, but he liked to be competitive since he was a child, and he didn't have a benevolent heart, and he wanted to show up on the rivers and lakes and become famous, but one of the ancestral teachings of my Nangong family is that you can practice martial arts to strengthen your body, but you can't get involved in the battles of the rivers and lakes!" Uncle is young and frivolous, and has always had objections to this ancestral training, and once said in front of his grandfather Nangong Bo that he would have to change this ancestral training after he inherited the inheritance of the owner. His grandfather was furious and made him think about it for three months. Probably, from then on, grandfather was not ready to pass on the position of owner to him. The uncle felt wronged, ran away from home in less than two months, and later fought with a group of bullies, although he killed those bullies to the ground, he was also seriously injured and returned, and fell in front of the door of Nangong Villa, or the horse steward carried him back. Because it is to eliminate harm for the people, the rivers and lakes also appreciate the uncle's approach, and Nangong Villa has also gained some false fame. The grandfather didn't think too much, and told the uncle that as long as he changed his ways, the past would be over. Uncle also settled for a long time, but ...... But ......"

Nangong Yu's eyes widened, and he asked anxiously, "But what is it?"

Nangong Yun felt that it was difficult to speak, gritted his teeth and continued: "Soon after I was born, my father's life and death met a beautiful woman by chance, and the flying pigeon invited my father to drink the wedding wine. My father readily agreed to go, but I had lived outside the gate for many years, and my father had to come and go for several months. But in these few months, the uncle didn't know what rhetoric he used to attract his mother to empathize with him and be with him. Later, my grandfather found out about this incident, and felt that it was too insulting, so he convened the whole village to discuss, and finally decided to expel the two from the house, and remove the uncle's name from the family tree. Grandfather therefore had a knot, depression into illness, soon passed away, after the father came back, the horse steward told the father everything, the father had no choice but to support the big family, inherited the position of the owner. His father loved his mother very much, and he thought that his mother and uncle would be a pair of wild mandarin ducks from now on, regardless of the world, and they would love each other all over the world, and as long as their mother was happy, they didn't need to have too many requirements. But within a few years, I didn't expect the uncle to be merry and merciful everywhere, and he abandoned his mother from beginning to end, and finally abandoned his wife and children, and said goodbye without saying goodbye. The mother was disheartened, and wanted to die, but suddenly found out that she was pregnant, and returned to Nangong Villa with humiliation, and her father did not hold a grudge against her mother, so she forgave her mother for everything, but her father could never forgive her uncle, and then her mother died of dystocia when she was born. Before her death, her mother kept saying that this might be her retribution, and her father looked at her mother who had passed away in his arms, gritting his teeth and chanting his uncle's name. Since then, my father and uncle have formed an enmity that is not in the same place: one has the hatred of taking his wife, and the other has the hatred of taking the throne. ”

Nangong Yun paused and continued, "Do you know who hurt me?"

Nangong Yu asked Steward Ma just now, and blurted out: "Xiao Xiangzi." ”

Nangong Yun asked again, "Then do you know what your father's name is?"

Nangong Yu shook her head blankly.

Nangong Yun said to himself: "Nangong Xiang." In fact, Nangong Xiang is Xiaoxiangzi, and Nangong Xiang is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Yumian Langjun!"

Nangong Yu shook her head vigorously after hearing this, and her tears kept flowing, all this came too suddenly, too quickly, she felt that everything in the world was turned upside down in an instant, and a very strong person may not be able to accept such a fact, let alone a weak woman? Nangong Yu sobbed and said loudly: "It's not true, you liar, you are a big liar, a big liar, a big liar, a big liar...... Nangong Yu wanted to run out of the door, but as soon as she turned around, she crashed into the arms of a person, who hugged her, and she knew that it was her father's strong chest. After crying for a while, she mustered up the courage to look up at her father, and wanted to ask if this was true? Father understood his doubts from her eyes, and nodded heavily! She was so sad that she fainted. Nangong Yue hugged the daughter in her arms, and she burst into tears for a while.

At this time, the door felt suddenly blown open by the wind, Nangong Yue looked at it vigilantly, and found that there was no wind, and a black shadow hurriedly flashed. Nangong Yue handed over the daughter in her arms to the maidservant and hurriedly chased her out. The black shadow ran so fast, obviously the light work was not ordinary, Nangong Yue did not show weakness, a little on tiptoe, jumped to block the way of the black shadow, stood in front of the black shadow, only to see that the person was dressed in night clothes, and his head was also tightly wrapped in black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, Nangong Yue said angrily: "Where is Xiaoxiao?

The black shadow didn't say a word, and the hurried palm wind hit Nangong Yue, Nangong Yue frowned, and the palm of the hand was protective, the two palms intersected, the person was invincible, and the volley turned over, unloaded the force, and fell on the rockery. Although Nangong Yue did not take a step back, he felt that the qi and blood around his body were surging, and he secretly transported the qi of the dantian to his whole body to breathe, without letting the masked man notice it at all.

Nangong Yue said: "What a domineering stele opener, who are you from the Kongtong faction?"

The masked man was shocked, and he didn't expect that he would be able to see through the origin of martial arts, but it was not only people from the Kongtong faction who would do this kind of martial arts. It was too late, but it was fast, and the masked man turned his palms into fingers, attacking the three acupoints of Yunmen, Zhongfu, and Tianding with his right hand, and attacking the three acupoints of Tanzhong, Tianquan, and Tianchi with his left hand. Nangong Yue took a step with his left foot, turned sideways, and skillfully avoided the attack of the masked man's right hand, and then his right hand was across his chest, protecting the three points of Tanzhong, Tianquan, and Tianchi, and his left hand hit the masked man's body with a strong palm. Nangong Yue only felt the masked man's body tremble, and he knew that he had suffered internal injuries. I wanted to take it down, but suddenly I heard a "pop", and the smoke was filled, and by the time the smoke dissipated, the masked man had long since disappeared. Only a piece of jade pendant was left on the ground, which was expected to have fallen by the masked man when he was fighting with the masked man just now, Nangong Yue quietly picked it up and looked at it and put it in his arms.

At this time, Steward Ma came with his family and hurriedly asked: "Owner, who is so bold that he came to attack again, I really don't know what he wants, is it ......?"

Before Steward Ma finished his guess in his heart, he saw Nangong Yue raise his right hand, signaling that it was not appropriate to say more, and Steward Ma understood and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Nangong Yue said: "How are the preparations for the Hero Conference?"

Steward Ma said: "Tell the owner, everything is ready, and it will be held as scheduled in two days, but it is just ......"

Nangong Yue said: "Just what?"

Steward Ma said: "It's just that there are many henchmen in the martial arts alliance today, and the heroes don't know his relationship with them, and it may be difficult to directly report and expose him, so why not wait for Duan Zhangduan Daxia to come and then make a long-term plan?"

Nangong Yue turned around, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed, he didn't want to do this, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he has to do it, if he waits a little longer, Nangong Yun may be killed, and it will be even more difficult to correct Xiao Xiangzi at that time. Although life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky, Nangong Yue still wants to fight, and whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on his own creation.
