Chapter 1197: Friendship
Zhou Yuqing almost gave up his revenge plan.
The words of the old immortal touched him a lot, in fact, he understood all the truth-hatred will make people misjudge, even if they want to take revenge, they must be based on the strength of the Kongtong faction, not alone, and so on--but when the master said it, Zhou Yuqing was still very moved and a little disappointed.
He had become mute, and he was no longer the only candidate for the head of the Kongtong faction, and the old fairy had arranged two helpers for him, which was unnecessary in the past.
Zhou Yuqing lay on the bed, thinking back to the first half of his life, from the beginning he was cultivated as the head of the family, for which he has never married, and transferred the task of inheriting the family to his younger brother Zhou Huaiyu, and he concentrated on familiarizing himself with and managing the affairs of the sect.
He didn't think that this was the price, but saw it as a kind of tempering and waiting, but he didn't expect that just when a good sword was about to be baked, it was destroyed and became a defective product.
Hatred gradually rose, Zhou Yuqing tried all the cultivation methods he had learned, but he still couldn't reduce it in the slightest, and even the earnest teachings of the old immortals had lost their effect.
Finally, he was sure of one thing, he had to take revenge, he had to take revenge with his own hands, in order to calm himself again.
Zhou Yuqing got up gently, walked to the window and peeked out, he had been monitoring Ji Fuwei for a long time.
Ji Fuwei was mixed in Miao Sanwen's team, trying not to contact the people of the Kongtong faction, Zhou Yuqing had only seen it a few times in the crowd, the first two times he walked face to face, he didn't recognize it, the third time he inadvertently looked up, and found that there was a back that was very familiar, and suddenly woke up that it was the head of the Songshan faction.
Zhou Yuqing didn't say anything to anyone, and continued to pretend that he didn't know, but he would secretly spy on him whenever he had the opportunity, decide to take revenge for a while, and want to give up for a while, at least four times, Ji Fuwei secretly left the team alone, Zhou Yuqing saw it in his eyes, and resisted the urge to follow.
Tonight, he couldn't help himself.
Zhou Yuqing understood the words of the old immortal from another angle: the master still has great expectations for himself, and he must get rid of the knot in his heart before he can be ready to take over the position of head of the sect.
He followed all the way, walked out of the street corner, blocked Ji Fuwei's way, and slowly drew his sword out of its sheath.
"So I still haven't hidden it from you. Ji Fuwei let go of the hilt of his sword instead, "Did the old fairy send you? No way, the old fairy wouldn't do such a thing, he asked someone to give me a message, hoping to turn the war into a jade silk." Is it the Dragon King?" Ji Fuwei glanced around, "No. So, it's a personal vendetta?"
Zhou Yuqing couldn't answer, and he didn't want to answer, he was fighting the hatred in his heart for the last time, it was useless, Ji Fuwei's relaxed tone only made him more angry.
"This is the rivers and lakes. Ji Fuwei's voice changed, becoming more serious and sincere, "Just because we are friends, Cheng Yi has been staring at me, and in that situation at that time, I had no choice." If it were you, for the survival of the Kongtong faction, you would definitely attack me. ”
Zhou Yuqing walked forward, not being able to speak did have a little advantage, he could condense all his opinions on the sword.
Ji Fuwei moved uneasily, but still did not draw his sword, "Let me finish speaking." ”
Zhou Yuqing stopped.
Ji Fuwei looked around again, and only after making sure that there was no one nearby did he say, "I don't know if the old fairy told you or not, we are all doing things for King Xiao." Ji Fuwei paused, observing Zhou Yuqing's reaction, "The old immortal is far-sighted, and he is by no means comparable to an extraordinary person. Cheng Yi made the matter too big, and the whole city was horrified, and King Xiao had to send the Yulin army to suppress it, otherwise the world would think that he was rebelling. I was also confused for a while, but I quickly woke up and obtained King Xiao's understanding. Maybe you don't know it yet, it was the old immortal who led the way for me, so that I could admit my mistakes to King Xiao on behalf of the various sects. He can save a lot of fellow people this time, but many people don't know yet, and when this mission is completed, I will disclose the truth and let everyone know the chivalrous deeds of the old fairy. The Kongtong faction is about to become the supreme martial arts. ”
Zhou Yuqing believed Ji Fuwei's words, and there was a slight bitterness in his heart, the master had hidden many things from him, but he could understand that the old immortal had made extensive friends, hoping to leave a few more ways for the Kongtong faction.
He will never be as "far-sighted" as Zihe Zhenren, Zhou Yu Qingmai moved, he had heard enough, if the tongue was still there, he just wanted to say to Ji Fuwei, "The revenge I want is not the tongue being cut, but the betrayal of my friends." ”
Ji Fuwei recognized Zhou Yuqing's sword move-Changhong Guan said, a very ordinary move in the Kongtong faction's swordsmanship, and it is also the most powerful move, Zhou Yuqing can make a move from ten steps away, indicating that his skill has improved compared to a few years ago.
He could only pull out his sword, without thinking about it, and said with a long river, this is a defensive move in the swordsmanship of the Songshan faction, the sword style is round, and it just happens to be able to block the attack that is like a bamboo.
Swords and swords intersected, the two were stunned at the same time, these two moves were the main content of a candlestick night talk many years ago, when they were discussing the impact of skill on moves, they all thought that the same move would have a huge gap in the hands of different people, the example given is Changhong Guan and Changhe Luo.
Years later, both men saw progress in each other's moves.
This is the return of friendship, which only lasted for a moment, Zhou Yuqing was even more angry in his heart, and issued a second move.
One is the head of the Songshan faction, and the other is the disciple of the Kongtong faction, and their swordsmanship is exemplary, especially knowing each other's roots, so they often go off the rails, and this competition can be described as thrilling in the eyes of outsiders.
Zhou Yuqing gradually gained the upper hand, his swordsmanship was already slightly stronger, and he was more aggressive, and he didn't care about himself when he made moves, Ji Fu was in danger and defended more and more, and he was forced to retreat step by step, and there was not much room for maneuver.
When there were more than 30 moves, Ji Fuwei used the long river for the second time, Zhou Yuqing did not hesitate, he knew where the other party's flaws were.
Changhe Luo said that there are almost no flaws in itself, but Ji Fuweitian's surname is wise and suspicious, which is reflected in the moves, which seems to be more cautious than enough, and the first half of the moves is not satisfactory.
Ji Fuwei's sword speed was extremely fast, and he could have covered up this shortcoming, but Zhou Yuqing was too familiar with Changheluo's move, and the other party's arm moved, and he had already guessed the result in advance.
Zhou Yuqing was stabbed, and Ji Fuwei's move had just been revealed, and the long sword had already pierced into his left cheek.
Ji Fuwei quickly retreated, only to feel a sharp pain in his mouth, his tongue was also pierced, it was still intact, but a lot of blood flowed out, he raised his hand to cover the wound, spit a mouthful of blood on the ground, his eyes became gloomy and angry.
Zhou Yuqing did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, this is his revenge, he wants to prove that his tongue was cut, not because of his martial arts.
He proudly put away the long sword, the knot in his heart was untied, he no longer regarded Ji Fuwei as a friend, but he would not hate it to the bone, and he could turn around and leave calmly.
Ji Fuwei looked at the back, still holding the long sword in his hand.
The back was about to disappear into the night, and what he was waiting for finally happened: another long sword appeared from the shadows and stabbed deep into Zhou Yuqing's body.
Zhou Yuqing staggered, stretched out his hand to draw his sword, and half of the sheath was unsheathed, and the person had already fallen heavily.
Ji Fuwei caught up and stopped the second sword in time.
"Let him go. Ji Fuwei's voice was vague, but the meaning was very clear, and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground again.
Ji Fuyao looked at his younger brother and said coldly, "What, you still regard him as a friend?"
"I just don't want to offend Zihe, at least not now. ”
Ji Fuyao slowly withdrew his sword, his voice was still cold, "You should really practice your swordsmanship." ”
"Hey, maybe you should have made a move sooner. ”
The two brothers were very stiff, but they were not wary of each other, Ji Fuwei also put his sword into the sheath, and looked down at Zhou Yuqing who had fainted, "I'll take him back later, and see what the old fairy says." ”
"Be careful, don't let him find out that you are also in the Golden Gate. ”
"Of course, Purple Crane will hide it for me. Ji Fuwei took out the scarf, sprinkled a layer of golden medicine, covered the wound, and glanced at the blood stains on his hands in disgust, "Zihe really has no vision, and he actually chose him as the heir to the head of the family." ”
"Don't be fooled, Zihe is very insidious, and no one can confirm who his chosen heir is until he dies. ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, it may not be possible for the Kongtong faction to exist after this incident. ”
"Is that woman credible?" asked Ji Fuyao.
"She's a crazy person, but she really hates Gu Shenwei, anyway, just use her, there will be no problem. ”
"As long as you get the imperial seal, you can do it, right?"
"Well, that's why I want to please Zihe, there is no way, he has the first opportunity, among the people of the Central Plains, Gu Shenwei only believes in him. ”
"And me. Ji Fuyao corrected.
"But he didn't hand over the imperial seal to you, and you can't speak, Gu Shen is too suspicious of this person. ”
"I think there's hope, if I can get the Imperial Seal before Purple Crane, things will be better. ”
Ji Fuwei nodded, and looked left and right again, "I always feel as if someone is hiding nearby, have you checked carefully?"
"Don't worry, I've checked it several times. ”
The blood on his face stopped, Ji Fuwei picked up Zhou Yuqing on the ground, clicked on the acupoint casually, and sighed: "Zihe is too smart, even King Xiao wants to get rid of him, the apprentice is too stupid, he actually learned to be a killer, and ran out alone to take revenge, alas, no one can save the Kongtong faction." ”
The two brothers broke up and went in different directions.
Nie Zeng carefully followed Gu Shenwei's order and did not move from beginning to end.
There was no need to chase Ji Fuwei, Nie Zeng walked around the neighborhood very carefully, and found no clues, so he had to return to the city regretfully.
Ji Fuwei ventured out, and the person he saw turned out to be a lotus girl, Nie Zeng thought to himself, I don't know what the Dragon King will think about this matter, maybe this is another ploy of his?
Gu Shenwei once stopped the duel between the Lotus Girl and Shangguan Ru, recalling the scene he had seen from afar more than ten days ago, Nie Zeng felt that Ji Fuwei's observation was correct, the Lotus Girl's heart was indeed full of hatred, and she was a hundred times more vigorous than Zhou Yuqing.
Nie Zeng hoped that Gu Shenwei would not stop his mission anymore, and he wanted to return to Beiting as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
