Chapter Seventy-Three: The Assembly (1)
The sky is white, and the sun has not yet fully come out.
Kong, Ling Quanfei, Yi Wanxuan, Lian Xiangyu, Jiang Chuanhai and his party were riding horses on an ancient road.
They set out from a small inn at the end of the day. Except for Lian Xiangyu, who was a little tired, the others were in good spirits.
Sora walked at the front, and his horses were as tireless as his men. Sora enjoyed it, and the horse seemed to enjoy it too.
Along the way, Jiang Chuanhai chatted with Yi Wanxuan about a lot of things, he was a person who rarely spoke, but now he has become talkative. Yi Wanxuan is also a talkative person, and the two of them talk and walk, and they don't feel tired.
But finally we got to some of the topics.
"Brother Jiang has been the hall master of the Wanjun Gang for a few years?" Yi Wanxuan asked.
Jiang Chuanhai frowned, turned to look at the sky, and sighed: "Twenty-five years-"
Yi Wanxuan saw that he frowned, and knew that he didn't want to mention the past, so he stopped asking.
Jiang Chuanhai looked down at the ebony sword in his hand, frowned, and said, "It's okay, I've been letting go of these twenty-five years." ”
Yi Wanxuan's eyes showed admiration, just because he knew how difficult it was. It's harder to let go of one end of life than it is to commit suicide. Suicide can end life, and after that, you run away from everything.
And Jiang Chuanhai is not running away, but facing it bravely, Yi Wanxuan sighed: "If it weren't for the return of the second brother, I would still be escaping." ”
Jiang Chuanhai smiled, the heroes sympathized with each other, although the two had not seen each other for a long time, they had become confidants.
Yi Wanxuan said: "What are Brother Jiang's plans?"
Jiang Chuanhai said: "After this matter is resolved, I will not be in the Gang of Armies." ”
"Ah, are you leaving the Gang of Ten Thousand Armies?" Yi Wanxuan's tone was not surprised, but seemed to have thought of it a long time ago.
"Hmm-" Jiang Chuanhai held the ebony sword across his chest and said, "I want to find a home for this sword." ”
"Looking for a disciple?"
"Well, there are some things that have to be passed on. I thought that this sword would be buried in the earth with me, but I thought it would be passed on. The meaning of this sword is far more profound than my own meaning. ”
Yi Wanxuan stared at him and said, "This sword carries the meaning of two generations, and there is also a part of you. ”
Jiang Chuanhai smiled slightly: "Yes." ”
The sun had risen and there was some sweat on the horseback.
Sora gently stroked the horse's mane and said, "Good, it'll be here in a while." ”
Huang Anzhen has appeared in everyone's field of vision. It's small, just a black dot.
But this black spot, this black spot is the beginning of the great war.
Hong Hanming, Qin Ping, and Feng Yu were already sitting downstairs, and they didn't know whether they got up early or stayed awake all night. Sun Qiaoer helped Li Yuanchen downstairs, and Qi Yinger followed.
Hong, Qin, and Feng saw that Li Yuanchen's complexion was much better, and they were also happy.
Qin Ping said: "Brother Li, are you better?"
Li Yuanchen's face, which was still a little pale, showed a sunny smile on weekdays: "It's much better, it's much better." This time it was a narrow escape. I didn't expect that person to put the poison so ruthlessly......" He wanted to continue, but as soon as he thought of the ghost-faced man, he thought of Shangguan Linglong's death, and his words were choked.
Everyone seems to understand, especially Sun Qiaoer. She likes Li Yuanchen very much, although he looks average, he is kind-hearted and has no shortcomings. In addition, everyone can see that Li Yuanchen is sincere to Shangguan Linglong, unlike most men in the world who only love women's beauty, if Li Yuanchen is Sun Qiaoer's uncle, she is also a hundred willing.
It's just that Sun Qiao'er was also very sad when she thought of her aunt's death, although she never believed that Shangguan Linglong would commit suicide.
Hong Hanming looked at Qi Ying'er and seemed to be better, not as depressed as yesterday morning.
Although he really wanted to know what happened after he went upstairs last night, he didn't take the liberty of asking, so he could only hide it in his heart.
But Qin Ping was a straight man, he couldn't see the unpredicated figure when he looked left and right, so he asked quietly, "Qi Shaoxia, where did the unprecepted master go?"
Qi Ying'er: "Master Wujie is gone." ”
"Gone?" Qin Ping still didn't dare to let go of his voice, always feeling that Wujie was still here.
Qi Ying'er bowed her head and said, "Master Wujie said that the Jiang Hall Master will turn around today, and there will be several capable masters to help us." ”
"Huh?" Not only Qin Ping, but except for Sun Qiao'er, everyone else was surprised, and it felt as if their hearts were suddenly empty.
Feng Yu said: "The master is just leaving......? How do you attack the White Crane Gang and save people?"
Although Hong Hanming didn't speak, he wrote his worry on his face.
Sun Qiao'er sneered: "You are all martial arts masters, and you are scared like this without the master of Wujie?"
Everyone was blushing by her, and Sun Qiaoer didn't continue to ridicule them, because she still had to take care of Li Yuanchen.
Although Li Yuanchen can already get out of bed and walk, he still can't overmove, let alone exercise his energy.
Sun Qiaoer's meticulous care of Li Yuanchen made him feel really embarrassed, and Sun Qiaoer always smiled and said: "There are all big men and rough men here, and I am the only girl who knows how to take care of people." Although Li Yuanchen was embarrassed to say this, he couldn't help refusing.
Except for the small solution, the big solution, and the body being taken care of by Qi Ying'er, the rest were all done by Sun Qiao'er herself, she felt that she suddenly had another relative, and Li Yuanchen also felt warm in her heart.
Qin Ping finally dared to let go of his voice and speak, "Who is afraid, in order to save the third brother, I will jump down even in the sea of fire!"
Sun Qiao'er said: "Who told you to jump into the sea of fire? Not only can you not save people if you jump into the sea of fire, but you also put your life into it in vain." ”
Qin Ping was originally a straightforward person, but when he met Sun Qiao'er, he could only be choked back, "Anyway, no matter who stands in the way, I have to rescue him." ”
As soon as Sun Qiao'er wanted to speak again, she was grabbed by Qi Ying'er and said, "Hall Master Qin is right, no matter who stands in the way, we have to save people." But we can't force it, we can only outwit it. ”
Feng Yu said: "That's right, big brother, you can't act recklessly. ”
Qin Ping waved his hand and said, "I know, I know, that's what I said." After that, he glanced at Sun Qiao'er, and Sun Qiao'er also gave him a roll of his eyes.
Hong Hanming said: "I don't know when Uncle Jiang will come back? Brother Qi does you know which martial arts masters are?"
Qi Ying'er said: "In addition to Hall Master Jiang, I also know that there is a person who is my friend, named Kong, who is a monk, that is, the apprentice of Master Wubei and the nephew of Master Wujie. ”
"Ah, the master of no compassion, he should be very powerful. Feng Yu said.
"Hmm. Qi Ying'er smiled, "He is not very old, but he is an extremely smart person." It was he who told me this clue about Nangong He. ”
"Ah, sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager. Li Yuanchen smiled and praised.
Li Yuanchen looked around and said, "I don't know where that Brother Fang went?"
Feng Yu said: "Brother Fang, he didn't think he was used to living here, so he went back to the Fengyang Inn where we lived before." ”
Li Yuanchen seemed to have something to say, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
Although Qin Ping is a rough man, he still has the skill to observe words and feelings, he said: "Brother Fang is not a timid person, he will definitely not run away." ”
Li Yuanchen smiled embarrassedly.
Feng Yu said: "But Brother Fang hasn't shown up for a few days?"
Qin Ping smiled: "Don't worry, I went to find Brother Fang yesterday." I saw him eating at Fengyun Restaurant, so I greeted him, and Brother Fang invited me to ......" Speaking of this, Qin Ping suddenly stopped, and the roots of his ears seemed to be red.
Feng Yu said with a smile: "I said that I didn't see you at noon yesterday, so I went to eat and drink secretly." ”
Qin Ping said: "Absolutely not, I haven't drunk a drop of wine." ”
Sun Qiao'er giggled: "What's wrong with a big man drinking a little wine." ”
"......" Qin Ping didn't want to drink, but he was poisoned after drinking last time, and he hasn't eased up yet.
Hong Hanming said: "Brother Fang's expression is okay, he almost let the two villains kill him last time." ”
"And such a thing?" Li Yuanchen exclaimed.
Qin Ping said: "Well, my complexion is good." ”
Feng Yu said: "It's a coincidence, the person who saved him is also the one who saved Brother Qin and Li Daxia." ”
"Miss Lin?" this time it was Qi Ying'er's turn to be surprised. It turned out that he had never known about it.
Feng Yu continued: "It's Miss Lin and her husband. It's been many years since I was chivalrous. There are good stories about the two of them on the rivers and lakes. ”
Li Yuanchen said: "Could it be the chivalrous couple?"
"Exactly. Although it is not clear where Miss Lin is, her husband is a posthumous disciple of the Ten Swords Sect, known as Ming Kaiyue, known as the 'Quick Sword'. ”
Qi Ying'er was speechless in shock when she heard it, only Sun Qiao'er knew about Qi Ying'er, and only she knew that Qi Ying'er's master was the senior brother of Yuan Fangzi, the head of the Ten Swords Sect, Mu Wuya.
Sun Qiao'er looked at Qi Ying'er worriedly, he looked surprised and seemed to be happy, but there were tears in his eyes, he didn't know what kind of expression it was, Sun Qiao'er suddenly felt uncomfortable for him.
Sun Qiao'er said: "Are the chivalrous couple still in Huang'an Town?"
"I'm afraid it's gone," Feng Yu sighed, "If it were, I would have found it a long time ago." ”
It turned out that Feng Yu still remembered the matter of taking the medicine that day, and he still didn't find the disappeared pharmacy, and the prescription written by Lin Qiyu was gone.
But after thinking about it, Feng Yu didn't think it was a poison prescription. But Li Wu, the owner of the disappeared pharmacy, didn't lie, the medicine he gave did cure Qin Ping and Li Yuanchen.
"Ahh Qin Ping said with a smile: "I said second brother, don't think about it, Miss Lin will never harm us." Although I don't know who the Li Yu you are talking about is, I was not poisoned after taking his medicine, so it can be seen that he is not a bad person.
"It's our fate that Brother Li and I can live, don't think about it so much. ”
Feng Yu smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you are very open-minded." ”
Qin Ping didn't hear the ridicule: "I can't see anything, the main thing is that we still have something to do, no matter who saves me, I will thank him! Give me a life, save the third brother, I owe that person two lives." ”
Everyone was amused by Qin Ping's straightforwardness, only Qi Ying'er didn't laugh. He was reminiscing, recalling the first time he saw Ming Kaiyue, recalling that day when he saw the carriage that Lin Qiyu was sitting in Quxing Town, and recalling when he saw Lin Qiyu again.
I was so close to Ming Kaiyue, but I missed it!
But at this time, he felt a little more secure in his heart, a feeling like the one his grandfather gave him when he was a child.
It's close, it's close.
He felt that he would soon be able to find his master.
The horses were empty, and everyone dismounted. They led the horses, and a few people walked on the streets of the bustling Huang'an Town.
The people of Huang'an Town don't care much about others, and there is nothing new about the group leading horses to swagger across the street, but the empty line has attracted the attention of many people.
Mainly because no matter what others think, they would never have thought that such a group of people would come together - first a monk, then a gentle and handsome man, next to the handsome man was a woman who was simply captivating, then a purple-faced man with an iron face, and finally a gray-haired man, although he was gray-haired, he was not very old.
Many people feel strange when such a group of people walk down the street, but they just look at it and walk away to do their own thing.
Sora suddenly stopped and said to Jiang Chuanhai, "Hall Master Jiang, please lead the way." ”
Jiang Chuanhai nodded, and then led the horse to the front of the group.
Lian Xiangyu kept talking as she walked, and she kept jumping and jumping, like an eighteen-year-old girl.
"Look, there are a lot of restaurants in this place! Wow, there are also kites to buy.
"Look, you see, there's a sachet and rouge there. Yo, and the sugar man......"
Ling Quanfei said, "Could it be that you can't see these in Fenghua Town?"
"Hmph," Lian Xiangyu suddenly said angrily, "Why are you so disappointed." The most I see in Fenghua Town are stinky men! Where do I have time to watch these interesting things?"
Ling Quanfei smiled: "You hate men so much, why do you still follow me?"
"You're not like them, you're just stinky, not a man, hahaha. Lian Xiangyu laughed playfully.
Ling Quanfei ignored her, and the best way to deal with a woman was to ignore her.
Seeing that he ignored him, Lian Xiangyu smiled again: "Are you angry?"
"Nope. ”
"Haha, you're just angry. ”
"Hehe, no. Ling Quanfei's cold voice didn't seem to have any emotion.
"I used to follow you because I liked you, but now it's different. ”
"Oh......"
"Now I'm your brother!So I'll go wherever you go!Are you right, Brother Yi!"
Yi Wanxuan was walking quietly in the back, but when he was suddenly asked, he was a little at a loss, so he just nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
"Haha. Lian Xiangyu was as proud as if she had won a battle.
Jiang Chuanhai said in front: "It's almost there." ”
Sora's steps became lighter, probably because he was going to see Qi Ying'er, "I don't know, has he grown again?" Sora muttered.
Everyone sat around the table, and Fang Yunfei also came. Although he was very reluctant, he was still called by the shopkeeper sent by Qin Ping.
Ever since he was rescued that day, he felt he should stay away from these people, these things. So I moved out and lived alone, thinking that it would be better to get less trouble.
Fengyun Restaurant happens to be diagonally opposite the Fengyang Inn, and these two stores are actually the same owner.
Yesterday, Fang Yunfei was eating wine on the second floor of Fengyun Wine. I was eating happily when I suddenly saw a beggar go upstairs, and the man was respectful to the beggar. Not only Fang Yunfei, but everyone here felt strange - beggars can also go to the restaurant?
The beggar not only went to the restaurant, but also asked for a table of good food and two jars of old wine, and the guests present were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall.
Although Fang Yunfei was surprised, he found it even more interesting. Because others were surprised, probably because of the expensive dishes on that table, and Fang Yunfei was a veritable rich man, he could afford these dishes, so he only thought that it was really interesting that this beggar could also afford it.
He peeled peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth as he watched the beggar eat and drink.
"It's getting more and more interesting. ”
Fang Yunfei called a guy over and asked, "Who is that beggar?"
The man replied, "He, he's a beggar, but he's the richest of all beggars." ”
"Oh?"
I also know it, how can he have no money when he asks for a table of dishes? Is it possible that he still dares to eat overlord meals?
"He's really that rich, aren't you afraid of him running away?"
The guy pointed at Fang Yunfei and said, "Look, I'm not afraid of him running, the boss let us keep an eye on him here." ”
Fang Yunfei took a look, and sure enough, he saw a strong guy staring at the beggar, Fang Yunfei said, "You go." ”
The man nodded, and went over to stand with the strong man and stared at the beggar.
Fang Yunfei took a sip of wine and continued to look at the richest beggar.
The beggar finished the last chicken's leg and burped.
The two men went over together, apparently asking the beggar how he was eating. The beggar also seemed to be talking to the fellow casually.
But suddenly the thin man changed his face and scolded the beggar, but the beggar did not think so.
The strong man also moved, as if he wanted to catch the beggar.
"Interesting, really interesting. Fang Yunfei patted his leg with one hand and smiled with the wine in the other.
Suddenly, the beggar turned over and went down, Fang Yunfei reacted quickly, and immediately ran over and lay on the fence to look down, the fence was full of people, all looking down at the beggar.
But the beggar didn't see it, but saw one of the "Broom Stars" gang - Qin Ping.
Fang Yunfei wanted to turn his head back, but there were people behind him, and before he could squeeze out, he heard Qin Ping downstairs shouting, "Brother Fang!"
Then, the two of them sat together at the table in Fengyun Restaurant.
Fang Yunfei squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Ping said: "I'm looking for you!"
Fang Yunfei said, "What is Brother Qin looking for a junior brother?"
"Well, I'll be honest with you. It's that I feel so bored and want to go out for a walk, and suddenly I thought that I hadn't seen you Brother Fang for more than a few days, and I happened to be about to walk to the Fengyang Inn, so I came to look for you. I didn't expect this commotion just now, I looked up and saw you, do you think it's a coincidence?"
"Haha, that's a coincidence. Fang Yunfei smiled bitterly.
Qin Ping didn't see it, he was looking at the wine in the glass, licking his lips with his tongue.
Fang Yunfei raised his glass and said, "Come on, Brother Qin, let's have a drink." ”
Qin Ping shook his hand and said, "Oh, don't drink it." ”
"What's the matter? Brother Qin has quit drinking?"
"This ...... Alas, quit quitting. ”
"Okay, then in that case, let's not drink. Fang Yunfei sprinkled the wine, clapped his hands and shouted, "Little Er!"
"Here comes the guest officer. ”
"Huh? Why are you?
Xiao Er said: "Oh, you said Liu Si, because he didn't catch the person just now, and he was punished by the boss."
Fang Yunfei said: "I don't blame him, I don't think that beggar is an ordinary person, so let's do it-" As he spoke, Fang Yunfei took out a few silver tickets from his arms, drew one out, and said, "Go, hand it over to your boss, and say that I paid the beggar's meal money, and gave him the rest, so that he didn't punish Liu Si." When you're done, I'll give you a reward. ”
The little two picked it up and saw that it was a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and said with a light in his eyes: "The little one will do it." ”
Xiao Er ran downstairs with a cigarette.
Qin Ping said: "Oh, Brother Fang is really righteous, do you recognize that person named Liu Si?"
"I don't recognize it. ”
"Then I admire it even more, I can be righteous and squander money in my life, I really didn't make a mistake with you, a friend. ”
After that, Fang Yunfei began to regret that he shouldn't have done this, because Qin Ping said: "Then I can rest assured, in fact, I am afraid that you are unwilling to help us, and if you run away, it is my heart! It is my fault! I apologize to you Brother Fang!"
Now Fang Yunfei looked at the group of people in the room and thought, "I might as well run away at the beginning." ”
Hong Hanming said: "If Uncle Jiang comes back today, it must be almost there." ”
Qi Ying'er said: "Well, it's almost there." ”
"It's here!" Feng Yu smiled.
The sound of horses' hooves has come closer and clearer.
