Chapter 5 Antecedents and Consequences
Xifeng Yan looked at Xiao Feng and said again: "Just like three years ago in Shendu, the teacher originally went to the appointment to kill someone. I never thought about it, but in the end, I saved you under the butcher's knife of the rebels. ”
Xiao Feng was silent.
Xifeng Yan frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Fengdao: "You are not curious, who did I kill at that time?"
Xiao Feng bit his lip: "The apprentice knows, it's the head Xiao of the Forbidden Palace's secret guard mansion!" In the past three years, although Xifeng Yan has never mentioned this matter, Xiao Feng has faintly guessed some of the ins and outs of this matter.
Zephyr nodded, stretched out his hand and sat up.
Xiao Feng got up, hurriedly reached out to help the west wind goose up, and sat up with his back against the pillow.
Xifeng Yan's pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the sky outside the window and said: "Before going to kill Xiao Chuli, the rivers and lakes have always rumored that his knife is extremely fast. When he heard that the people he had killed, not only did he not feel pain, but on the contrary, he could hear the sound of his own blood as good as the sound of the wind. ”
"And I boast that my Dugu Nine Sword is the fastest sword ......... in the world"
Zephyr said, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Xiao Feng looked at the West Wind Goose and nodded, "Master is right, Manager Xiao's knife is indeed extremely fast. When the apprentice was in Shendu, he was fortunate enough to meet him three or two times. Xiao Feng's mind came to the image of Xiao Chuli wearing a strong suit, and between the lightning and flint, he shot out a knife to kill people without a trace and returned to the sheath.
"Until now, I still don't understand, why did he bring you to the appointment with several arrows in his body when he made an appointment with me in the west of the city that day!"
Xiao Feng looked at the west wind goose and said hesitantly: "If the apprentice is not mistaken, I am afraid that the battle post of that day was not given to the master by Manager Xiao himself." ”
Zephyr frowned and motioned for Xiao Feng to continue.
Xiao Feng looked at the West Wind Goose: "The secret guards of the Forbidden Palace were directly under the jurisdiction of my father at that time, and they held the power of life and death in their hands. Besides, Master also said just now that Mr. Xiao's knife was extremely fast, and at that time, there was no one in the world who used a knife. ”
"So, in order to get rid of Xiao Chuli completely and smoothly, the rebels privately gave me a battle post in his name!"
Xiao Feng bowed: "Not bad!"
Zephyr suddenly smiled: "In this way, I understand." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Feng looked at his master with some curiosity.
Zephyr Yan sighed, looked at Xiao Feng and said: "From now on, we will live in Qiuye Temple for a long time, and when you have completely practiced my unique mastery "Dugu Nine Swords", we will re-enter the Central Plains!"
Xiao Feng bowed to the west wind goose and clenched his fists: "Yes, the apprentice obeys the master's orders." ”
Zephyr nodded: "Let's get out!"
Xiao Feng agreed, hurriedly went out of the door, carefully closed the door gently, stood outside the door and said, "If the master has any instructions, just call the disciple directly, and the apprentice will practice by this lake." ”
Xiao Feng waited for two or three breaths, but there was no sound in the house. But presumably Master must have heard his words, but maybe he didn't want to speak at the moment. So he left the wing room and walked towards the lake.
Xiao Feng came to the lake, looking at the lake that was sparkling in the sun at the moment, but he was thinking about the past in his heart.
The Great Departure Dynasty has been destroyed for more than three years.
And himself, who was also a prince of the royal family above and below 10,000 people, fell to a down-and-out niche that no one knew. Although Da Li was overthrown by the uprising of Prime Minister Mo Wengong, in fact, Xiao Feng did not have much hatred for this Mo Wengong.
Because, when his father was in power, he only knew how to dance and play with Danqing Mobao all day long, and he was deaf to the affairs of the court. As a result, the government and the opposition were deserted, the courtiers were corrupt and perverted the law, the people were not able to make a living, and the lives of the people were miserable.
In the past, Taifu said well, as the emperor, he did not pay attention to social affairs, but he liked to dance and write. It is a disaster for the people of the world. However, he was finally beheaded for public display.
In the past three years, Xiao Feng has been following his master to hide in Tibet in the Central Plains. Although those secret guards who hunted down and killed him and his master were hateful, Mo Wengong's ability to govern the government was unique.
The army of barbarians was driven to the east, and the land of rebellion was quelled in the west, and the tax burden was severely reduced within the jurisdiction. The world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The foundation of the current Chu State has gradually been firmly established, and he, the prince of the former dynasty, has long been only worthy of his name, but in fact, there is no longer a trace of deterrence.
Mo Wengong has been sending secret guards to chase and kill him, presumably just because he doesn't want to give opportunities to those traitors who want to commit rebellion because of his existence.
For the people of the world, their father is a sinner through the ages. But for himself, he is a competent father. To this day, the figure of his father teaching him to practice calligraphy and loving him in the past still seems to be vivid.
Xiao Feng sighed, closed his eyes tightly, spread his feet flat, his body sank slightly and pushed out his palms, already tied up his horse steps. In the past three years, the master has never taught him a single move or style of swordsmanship, but only made himself a horse step for a certain hour every day.
said yes, only with the unbearable endurance of ordinary people, can you practice "Dugu Nine Swords" well when you completely calm down. Xiao Feng listened to the order, from the beginning of the half-pillar incense can't hold on, to now he can insist on the time to finish the three sticks of incense.
But in fact, Xiao Feng himself understands that his body is faintly much tougher than ordinary people because of the perennial horse steps, otherwise he may have died halfway when he was chased into the desert by the pursuers.
Master actually let himself do this, and there must be a reason for that.
"Yo he, is this still on the horse?" A rough voice broke Xiao Feng's thoughts.
Xiao Feng frowned and opened his eyes, and found that it was a monk who knew it. Silent at the moment, he closed his eyes again and remained motionless, and continued to calm down and take steps.
Carrying a fishing rod and carrying a fish basket, he was stunned for a moment after seeing Xiao Feng's demeanor. Then his beard wrinkled, and he turned around and walked towards a wooden house in the middle of the cottage.
There was a crackling sound of fish in the fish basket, Xiao Feng's ears moved, and his stomach gurgled twice. Only then did I remember that since I woke up, I haven't eaten yet.
By the way, if you haven't eaten yourself, Master must have not eaten either! Looking at the monk with the face of Lei Gong, it doesn't look like he has eaten dinner. Xiao Feng silently calculated the time in his heart, now there is still time for two pillars of incense before the three incense sticks, and after tying the horse, he will go to the old monk to ask for some food first, and send it to the master first.
Fresh fish soup is just a great tonic, which is beneficial to Master's recovery from injuries! Thinking of this, Xiao Feng closed his eyes and smiled secretly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Lichen carried a few carp the size of an arm and turned back, looked at Xiao Feng, who was walking on a horse, shook his head and smiled, and Gu Zi washed the fish on the bluestone by the lake.
