Chapter 31 (3)
Jiang Yanchen didn't know how to respond. The last time he was in the tomb of King Hetuala, Shen Shiyun told him about Chu Menglin's death, but because he had already known about it in advance, he did not lose his temper on the spot, and he could immediately pretend that he didn't care. But how can he not be sad that she has been holding back the sad things that have been suppressed for many years? Since then, he has always been bored.
This is a question that he has been avoiding thinking about for six years, and now when he hears Xuan Shuang ask, it seems that he is forced to come up with an answer. He didn't want to admit that he had affection for Meng Lin, and regarded unnecessary emotions as a fetter that hindered progress, but if it was really what he wanted, how could he explain the heartache that would flood like a tide every time he thought of her? ”
Xuan Shuang said: "Hey, how can that be? You must have a thought in your heart, but it is just that you have been suppressed for many years and cannot see the light." If you really want to dig it out, you will definitely get the answer. He poured him a full cup of wine, brought it to his mouth, and said, "I promise, I will keep it a secret for you, if it leaks out, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky! Wine is a good thing, wine can strengthen courage, after drinking spit out the truth, come, you drink it first, and then tell me about it. "It's like coaxing a child to persuade.
Seeing that he was still silent, he was still unwilling to give up, and continued to follow the temptation, and said: "Is it love or not? Maybe Miss Chu has always had a regret after her death, that is, I haven't heard you say a word of love for her? Don't you even want to satisfy this small wish, and want her to go to another world with regrets to sink forever? cough, or, you are thin-skinned, what kind of love, love, it sounds very numb, then you tell me, is it one word, or two words?"
Jiang Yanchen couldn't persuade him, and looking back, even in his own heart, he never dared to say that he loved her openly. If you can export it once, it will be very happy. But he has been trapped by face for many years, his self-esteem is troubled, and he still can't say the words when he comes to his lips. In the end, he sneered, took the wine cup and drank it dry, bowed his head deeply, with a bitter smile on his face, and said, "You can think about it." Main ...... I won't deny it. Being able to say this sentence is already the biggest concession for him.
Xuan Shuang also knew enough about this, and couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing, and said, "Great! You finally admit it! You really love Miss Chu! I finally let you say it!" Still entertaining himself, while shaking his head, he let out all kinds of screams and weird laughs, and at the same time alternated his hands, picked up the wine cup, poured it down cup after glass, and said with a smile: "I want to take you a sentence, I almost tired half of my life." The last time I dealt with Prince Fu's group of dead soldiers, in addition to shouting and drinking, it was just a few words, and they confessed, how can you toss like you?"
After a few big breaths, he said, "Seriously, for the first time, I realized that you look a lot like someone I recently recognized...... His name is Shangguan Yaohua, and he is the righteous son of Prince Fu, and Emperor Ama gave him the title of 'Cheng'. His previous identity, I promised to help him keep it secret, I can't tell it. But he's not as troublesome as you are. Congratulations, you still won. ”
Jiang Yanchen raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Who do you say? Shangguan Yaohua? Hmph, you don't know...... Forget it, you'll understand. How about taking me to meet him in a few days?"
Xuan Shuang originally just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect him to react so much, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or evil, so he was startled, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing with him......? The important thing is that he is my brother, and he just agreed: 'Be my little follower from now on', you can't harm him!" Jiang Yanchen said: "Your follower? ”
Xuan Shuang said: "Isn't it good to be my follower? I am the future crown prince, and when he ascends the throne as the emperor, from the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to the life of the Li people, which one is not my follower? Hey, I said you can't hurt him, you hurry up and agree, hurry!"
Jiang Yanchen looked at Xuan Shuang with cold eyes, and saw that he looked anxious, and he only felt interesting. If someone else had changed and dared to shout at him like this, he would have given them a ride long ago. But no matter what Xuan Shuang said, in his opinion, it was just funny. He said lightly: "Why do I want to harm him? According to what you said, since he is your follower, then he is also my person, isn't it?"
Xuanshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to complain: "Hey, wouldn't it be nice to agree earlier? Didn't I say you, Master, you are the supreme in the world, and you are afraid that you will not be able to find a follower? Why do you have to rob me?"
Jiang Yanchen was silent for a long time, took the initiative to take a wine cup and put it in front of Xuanshuang, and said with a light smile: "Okay, you kid has a lot of appetite for me." I have been a loner all my life, and there are very few people who can see it, and there is only one who is qualified to be my brother, and I will count you in the future? But it is ridiculous to say that I am very righteous to him, but he still betrays me in a few words for others. As for you...... From the beginning, they made a life-and-death bet with me. My only close friend is the one who hates me the most and wants my life the most. You say, I have done too much iniquity, and I don't deserve a brother at all, right?"
Xuan Shuang asked: "The person you are talking about, is it the young marshal who died......?" Jiang Yanchen suddenly changed his face drastically, and said sharply: "You shut up for me!" At the same time, there was a "snap" sound, and a wine glass in his hand had been torn apart, and the fragments were scattered all over the table.
Xuanshuang reached into his bosom, took out a small piece of broken silver, put it on the table, and waited for the shopkeeper to come and collect the money for the wine glass. laughed at himself: "It's obvious that you smashed the cup, but you want me to pay you for it, and being an apprentice is enough for me, right?" After waiting for a while, no one came, and he couldn't bear his curiosity, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter? Why did you suddenly get so angry?"
Jiang Yanchen has changed his mood since he came here to drink with him, and at this moment, his expression was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Scared you? Because the reputation of the dead brother is not very good outside, after his death, there are still many thieves who speak ill of him and insult him." I will not allow any disrespectful word to be heard to me, and I will be killed on the spot. But I don't want to hurt you, so I'll warn you in advance, don't annoy me. ”
Xuan Shuang's eyes rolled and said angrily: "It's still the same old saying: If you say it earlier, it's okay......? That's the idiom, right? I'm telling you, I'm friends with him. He was ostracized in the Yinxue Palace, and I was the only one who often went to talk to him and accompany him to talk and laugh to relieve his boredom. I don't speak ill of my brother. ”
Jiang Yanchen said slightly: "Excluded, what kind of people are you in the Snow Palace......?"
Xuan Shuang knew that he was bent on protecting the dark night, so don't let his words cause a catastrophe to Yinxue Palace. Before he could finish speaking, he interrupted halfway and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's me who didn't use it properly." It's just that he is in the martial arts, known as the 'Remnant Star', everyone is afraid of him, and he himself has said that he hopes that the residence will be quieter, and no one will disturb him...... Of course, don't look at me like that, I can see my whole body hairy...... Since he is willing to play with me, it means that he doesn't hate me, and I don't bother him, do I......? And that woman, although she has bad intentions, at least the past six years have not been short......"
Jiang Yanchen's face was still cloudy, and he said, "You don't have to bother talking. It was her plan to divide the world that has led to today's situation. I could never spare her. ”
Xuanshuang laughed dryly. Whether it is a deep love for licking calves, although he is disheartened by what Shen Shiyun has done, at most he has cut off his mother-son status, and he can't bear to see her die. At this time, it was even more unwise to plead, so I had to change the topic and said, "By the way, last time, the young marshal taught me some acupoint skills. I remember one of the tricks very well, and although the movements were bells and whistles, they were still handsome enough. Sure enough, he successfully attracted Jiang Yanchen's attention, and said, "Yes, you can practice and take a look." ”
Xuan Shuang responded, crossed his arms on his body a few times, and said: "If the internal strength is profound, and the wind is poured into the sleeves of the robe that you bring up, and it sounds whirring, then it will bring strength." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and turned back and forth, intending to stun the enemy's eyes. The body just deviated to the left, in order to lure the enemy, so that the other party thought that this move was only to dodge to the left, and when he was not guarding against the right side, he suddenly kicked with the heel of his left foot, and his body popped out to the right, like thunder, and his arm drove straight in, and he pointed out, and his fingertips were already resting on Jiang Yanchen's throat only an inch away.
At the same time, he continued to explain: "The internal force can be used to block his movement through his fingers and hit the enemy's key points, and he will not be able to move for many hours, and the deeper the skill, the longer it will last." At this time, it is cheaper, just finger everywhere, and at this interval, it will be able to penetrate the throat. It's a pity that I don't know anything about internal skills, and I don't have that ability. In his words, he still deeply regretted that he would not be able to do his own work.
In his eyes, people with profound skills soar the mountains and cross the country, as if flying in the air, really like a fairy. It's a pity that his kung fu is just some shows, or some very ugly shelves. Once you encounter a master of internal strength, you don't need to get close, as long as you slash a few palms in the air, the wind blade stirred up in the air can kill yourself.
And Jiang Yanchen looked at Xuanshuang's posture, and was stunned for a moment, and it was difficult to tell who was in front of him. In his memory, he and the dark night died in the sect and were both Zasaktu's right-hand men, but both of them wanted to compete for the first name, although they were brothers when they had nothing to do on weekdays, but in terms of martial arts, no one refused to obey anyone. Every once in a while, you have to find a secluded place to compare the last one.
The most diligent and hard-working in the dark night, often sleepless all night, all-night training in martial arts, compared with the time when he first entered the church, it is no longer the same day, and at the same time, he is also known as "the invincible opponent in the Central Plains" in the rivers and lakes, and quickly made a name for himself, becoming a killer "remnant star" that everyone fears. However, even so, no matter how proud the spring breeze is in normal times, every time he competes with Jiang Yanchen, he will eventually end in defeat.
I still remember that day very clearly, a few people had just completed a task, and they were killed in the dark, and when they returned to the general rudder, they did not rest quietly, and immediately pulled him to continue the competition. After dismantling dozens of moves, Jiang Yanchen praised: "Very good, there is progress." As soon as he heard this, the attack and defense gradually became hasty, his lips were closed, and he fought with all his might, and large beads of sweat dripped from the ground. In the end, Jiang Yanchen turned around, flipped his arms, and firmly put his fingers together, pointing at the throat of the dark night.
Dark Night sighed, gently flicked his wrist away, and said with a wry smile: "I'm losing again." Anyway, every time I compete, I always lose to you, no matter how hard I tried before, I am still vulnerable in front of you. No matter how many times you compare, the result is the same. The tone was desolate. And the depressed look in his eyes at that time, now that he thinks about it, still remembers it vividly.
Jiang Yanchen persuaded: "Don't be discouraged, I see that the move you used just now is already very good." This is a significant improvement from the beginning. Dark Night Death sneered: "What has been the progress? Don't forget, you can still speak so leisurely just now, I tried my best to defend, but I still can't beat it...... Actually, you don't have to hide it from me, I know it in my heart. You've been letting me do it all the time, aren't you? Otherwise, I'll lose even faster! It's a shame to be a man, and if you don't have self-knowledge, you don't have to be a man anymore. ”
Jiang Yanchen didn't seem to hear his provocation, and continued: "Kung Fu is practiced day by day. When I first returned to the helm with the sect leader, I didn't know anything about martial arts, and I didn't practice to achieve today's achievements. ”
