Chapter 122: The Mystery of the Phoenix (Part II)
After entering the study, Di Liang muttered: "On weekdays, there are people guarding here, and the door is locked, why is it open today?"
You Pingsheng seemed to be very familiar with this study, he lit the candle, and the room was as bright as day in an instant.
Lin Gongyu saw that this study was not very big, there were some books on the walls, and a sword inlaid with jade was hung on the wall, and there was a square table and a chair under the sword, and there was nothing else.
After You Pingsheng entered the door, he walked to the sword, took the sword off, and gently stroked it in his hand.
Di Liang risked his life to save them, hoping that they would leave quickly, but who knew that these four people looked elegant in this small study, and in any case, they did not look like they had just escaped from the dark dungeon. He couldn't help but feel anxious, and said, "Master, you should get out of here quickly, if my master notices it, he won't be able to leave." ”
You Pingsheng was stunned, and he still held the sword leisurely. Lin Gongyu and several people have seen You Wansu and Liu Wanjin, these two people's martial arts are mediocre, Lin Gongyu and the three of them are far superior to him in martial arts, so they are naturally not afraid.
Lin Gongyu said to Di Liang: "Big brother, where is sister-in-law now?"
Di Liang said: "I don't know either. My master only let us meet every few days, and after we did, he hid the bright moon again. Di Liang sighed, full of guilt and chagrin. He robbed Lin Gongyu by himself, and he regretted it, but You Mingyue and his unborn son were held hostage by the master, so he had to betray his friends. Now that he has repented, he wants to try his best to make up for his past mistakes, but when he thinks that his wife and children will inevitably be difficult to preserve, he can't help but feel like a knife.
You Pingsheng suddenly put down his sword, turned around and said, "I have something, you take it and hand it over to your master, he will naturally not embarrass you." ”
Di Liang's heart froze, and he asked, "Master, what do you want your disciple to hand over to my master?"
You Pingsheng sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth, turned around and took out a slender box from the celadon vase on the cabinet, the body of the box was golden, and a golden lock was hung in the center, which was obviously extremely precious.
Xue Ling knew at a glance that it was made of golden silk nanmu, and thought: "This box looks like it has been twenty years old, the box body is so expensive, and there are naturally rare treasures in it, why are you put it in a vase, aren't you afraid of being discovered by You Wansu?"
Lin Gongyu and the others couldn't help but secretly sigh when they saw the box, although they didn't know what kind of material it was, they could see at a glance that the production was fine and the materials were exquisite.
You Wansu handed the box to Di Liang, but Di Liang didn't take it, he shook his head and said: "My master often locks himself here, and every time he comes out, he loses his temper, he imprisons his master underground, I think it's also for this thing!"
You Pingsheng said twice, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, and said: "Yes, he will take revenge, and he will not hesitate to be laughed at by the heroes of the world, for the sake of the things in this box." ”
Di Liang said: "My master never dreamed that what he wanted was hidden less than three feet away from him. ”
You Pingsheng said: "If you give this to him, he will be very happy, and he will naturally let you go." ”
Xue Ling felt strange in his heart, and secretly thought: "This old man has been trapped for eighteen years and refuses to confide half a word, and he is free at this time, but he is handed over so easily, this is really a strange person." ”
Di Liang shook his head and said, "I've been wrong once, and I can't be wrong again." ”
You Pingsheng couldn't help but be stunned, he carefully examined Di Liang's face, and saw that his true feelings were revealed, it was definitely not a fraud, it was not that he wanted to retreat in his heart but deliberately retreated, You Pingsheng was silent for a long time, and said: "I didn't expect You Wansu to accept such a good apprentice as you as affectionate and righteous!"
Suddenly, someone outside said: "What a good apprentice with affection and righteousness!"
Di Liang's heart froze, that voice couldn't be more familiar, wasn't it his master, who was You Wansu? His body couldn't help but tremble.
Xue Ling had already felt that something was wrong, and at this time, You Wansu suddenly appeared, and she was not surprised, although Lin Gongyu and Dongfang Hong were shocked, they were not afraid at all. However, You Pingsheng's face did not change in the slightest, as if he had already expected it.
You Pingsheng pushed open the door of the study, and the four of them followed, Dongfang Hong just took one foot, only to see You Wansu standing far away in the courtyard in front of the study, there were seven or eight people standing beside him, and he couldn't see his true face in the dark, but the person on You Wansu's side, tall and tall, holding a folding fan, but looking like Dongfang Jin. Dongfang Hong was afraid of being recognized, so he hurriedly pulled back the foot he had taken out and hid behind the door.
Lin Gongyu and the others watched every move of the enemy outside with all their attention, and no one paid attention to Dongfang Hong's abnormal behavior. When everyone got closer, they saw Jiao Tongwei standing on the right side of You Wansu, and Dongfang Jin was naturally on the left. There were five or six people standing behind, only one of whom was Liu Wanjin, and the rest were unknown.
Dongfang Jin looked at Lin Gongyu and Xue Ling and sneered slightly, as if he already knew that the two of them were here, but Jiao Tongwei half-bowed his head and didn't look at them.
You Wansu said: "Di Liang, Di Liang, I really didn't mistake you as a teacher!"
You Pingsheng sneered: "What's the matter if you see him wrong, he is not a brute, he will take revenge and put you in the dungeon!"
You Wansu's face turned red, snorted, and said: "I have locked you up for eighteen years, I didn't kill you, and the service of wine and food every day can be regarded as repaying your kindness!"
You Pingsheng raised the Nanmu box in his hand and said sharply: "If you weren't for the things in my hand, how could you let me live to this day?"
When You Wansu saw the box, his face was overjoyed, but the joy disappeared as soon as he saw it, and said, "Di Liang, since your master is willing to give it, why don't you bring it to me?"
Di Liang said in a trembling voice: "Master, turn back, you quickly kowtow to the ancestor to make amends, and the ancestor will definitely forgive you!"
You Wansu said: "He is already a wasted person, it is not a pity to die, but we You Longmen can't die, I have already attached to the Royal Dragon Villa, the owner of the Oriental Village said, as long as the boy surnamed Lin and this girl are handed over to them for disposal, our name of You Longmen will not disappear on the rivers and lakes." ”
Xue Ling smiled: "Then congratulations, Master You." Two days ago, your old man said that you would lie down and hide your guts, first join and then rebel, and it seems that your plot has succeeded. ”
You Wansu's face turned red, and he pointed at Xue Ling and said angrily: "You... You... Nonsense!"
Jiao Tongwei naturally knew that Xue Ling was making trouble out of nothing, and wanted to sow discord, but he and Dongfang Jin came to You Longmen to surrender, You Wansu didn't say a word, opened the middle door, and immediately expressed his willingness to sincerely return, Jiao Tongwei decided that You Wansu had other plans, and at this time, seeing that he was annoyed and angry, it was obvious that Xue Ling had hit the heart, and he couldn't help but sneer secretly.
Xue Ling smiled: "I'm talking nonsense, I don't know who said that Dongfang Bai is an old immortal, relying on the kung fu of a two-legged and three-legged cat, rampant in martial arts, bullying the good, his son is even more unsuccessful, embarrassed in the rivers and lakes, the son has lost Lao Tzu's face, and the father and son are shameless." ”
