Chapter 127: Conspiracy
The oil in the lamp has been changed several times. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info That's it, he stayed quietly in this stone room alone and didn't know how long.
Cold as water, cold as beans, and a dull atmosphere in the air.
But in fact, the sun is shining at this moment, but here, there is never a ray of daylight coming in.
The dim light shone on Yang Xiaoling's equally dim face, but at this moment, he was very happy in his heart, happy for his eldest brother.
A few days ago, a subordinate reported the exact news that the wedding date of Miss Luoxue Valley was finally clear, and it was set for the tenth day of November.
When he thought that his eldest brother and sister-in-law could finally get married, he couldn't help but feel better.
Perhaps, he can go to see his eldest brother on his wedding day. Thinking that it must have been very lively that day, taking advantage of the large number of people, it would not be difficult for him to blend into the Falling Snow Valley. Even if it is inconvenient to appear in person to bless the eldest brother, it is also a wish to be able to hide in the dark and look at the eldest brother.
Yang Xiaoling thought like this in his heart, and his face couldn't help but show a little smile.
With this in mind, he could no longer sit still, and quickly got up and walked deeper into the crypt. If he wants to go out, he naturally has to tell his father-in-law first.
The crypt is dark, and the narrow passages are lined with stone chambers, one next to the other.
Yang Xiaoling walked slowly here alone, and the sound of small footsteps sounded inexplicably lonely in the dark, and even a little weird.
He didn't know how many times he had walked this road, but basically every time he just hurried by, never entering these stone chambers beside him.
In fact, if he walked in and took a look, he would find that nine out of ten of these stone chambers were actually empty, and there was no one living in them.
It's right to think about it. His mysterious father-in-law was the leader of a vast organization. As a smart leader, it is enough for him to directly control the most powerful people under his command.
At the same time, as a huge mysterious organization, its disciples are bound to be scattered and hidden all over the world, so naturally there are not many people living here.
Moreover, the cave is not suitable for human habitation, and if it is not a last resort, who will live in such a dark and damp ghost place. But it is such a place, and the two brothers and sisters of Yang Xiaoling have actually lived in it for ten years.
It is a state of mind that needs to be strong to stay in this cave for ten years.
The passage was not long, but after a short walk, we reached the innermost part, where my father-in-law usually lived and summoned his men.
Exactly, it was the place where the father-in-law summoned him, but he had no idea where the father-in-law lived.
Although the siblings had lived here for ten years, they had never been to the innermost part of the cave.
Even, he didn't know where the specific location of this cave was, and every time he went out, someone would take him out.
Yang Xiaoling was about to walk in, but he heard someone talking to his father-in-law inside.
A man stood in the black tent, and a few steps behind him stood a man dressed in black.
I only heard the man in front of me say without emotion: "I can see that your nephew seems to be desperate about the current situation."
"yes, I saw it too."
The man in front said: "Then why don't you tell him, in fact, he doesn't have to be so desperate, we have already arranged it, Luo Qingxue will be his woman sooner or later."
Yang Xiaoling was suddenly startled in his heart and listened carefully.
The man in the back said lightly: "We have arranged it, but I just want to make him desperate, only in this way can he listen to the words of the Lord more, and in the future, he will be more obedient to the Lord's orders and listen to your arrangement."
The man in front of him suddenly sneered and said, "Hearing you say this, could it be that you are afraid, afraid that your nephew will be unwilling to do things for me"?
"Maybe it's ......", the man in the back smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "That child has been pampered since he was a child, and he will inevitably be a little arrogant, how can he be willing to be at the mercy of others."
"Young people, it is inevitable that there will be some little rebellion, and besides, your nephew grew up by your side since he was a child, and ......it is normal for him to be a little arrogant."
The man in front looked back at the man behind him and said, "But listening to what you said at the moment, it seems that this kind of temperament will hurt him."
"Indeed, young people should have some character ......", the man in the back also looked up at the man in front of him, and said: "It's just that the child is different, he must not have a trace of rebellion, he can only obey unconditionally, and he can only obey."
"Why can he only obey"?
"If he does not obey, then he will die".
"Oh, yes, it's very interesting......", the man in front of him showed a hint of appreciation on his face, "But I don't like people who can only obey, only mediocre people will obey." Most people who have the ability have some arrogant and eccentric habits, and the more capable people are, the more perverse their personalities are. Isn't it bad to be like this"?
"Hehe, the ability is ......", the man in the back said with a wry smile: "If a person loses his life, even if he has great ability, what will he do!"
The man in front nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Interesting, listening to you say this, it seems to be true."
The man in the rear did not answer again, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.
Yang Xiaoling still listened quietly, and his body seemed to be fixed there.
After a while, the man in front of him continued: "What kind of scene will the Falling Snow Valley be like at this moment?"
After pondering for a while, the man in the back replied: "The Falling Snow Valley at this moment must be very lively, after all, the marriage of a daughter from the first family of the martial arts is also a grand event on the rivers and lakes."
The man in front nodded, and said with a relaxed smile: "That's right, Luo Wenbin is such a daughter, and she got married at such an age, if the wedding is not grand, I am afraid that it will be laughed at."
The man in the back was noncommittal and said, "The wedding is solemn, and the congratulatory gifts should naturally be heavier." I think it's time for us to set off, and then I'll give Luo Wenbin the heaviest congratulatory gift at his daughter's wedding."
The man in front of him smiled and said, "That's right, it's just that I'm afraid that the weight of our congratulatory gift is too heavy, so heavy that Luo Wenbin doesn't dare to accept it."
"That's a bit premature, I don't think so."
"Oh".
The man in the back also smiled and said: "The gift has not been sent yet, how can it be asserted that the master does not dare to accept it, and the lord also underestimates Luo Wenbin, and he is also the head of the first family of dignified martial arts."
Gradually, the man in front put away the smile on his face, and became expressionless again, and in the end, his face was full of cruel killing intent, which frightened the man behind him shivered, and he involuntarily retreated for a long distance, only then did he see the man in front of him say coldly: "No matter what Luo Wenbin is, he must accept this gift we send." He may be a little reluctant, but he simply has no room to refuse."
The man in the back was chilling, reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, laughed dryly, and said, "I don't know what Luo Wenbin's expression will be when he sees us"?
The man in front of him joked: "After being separated for so many years, Luo Wenbin will be very surprised when we meet again." I guess the first thing he said would have been to me, 'Why are you still alive, or, how can it be you?'"
Hearing these words made people want to laugh, in fact, the man in front of him was already laughing and leaning back and forth.
It's just that there is not even a trace of a smile on the face of the man in the rear. Far from thinking it was ridiculous, he was full of pathos.
Yang Xiaoling's hand was already tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, but he was trying to restrain himself. You can't be impulsive, you must not be impulsive, rushing in at this time is undoubtedly sending you to death.
The previous time he held back, this time he still had to hold back.
Now he is not absolutely sure, he still has to accumulate some more strength.
His fingers were blue from the exertion, and his chest was heaving from panting, but his pale face was absolutely calm.
Over the past decade, he has become accustomed to hiding himself. He had to wait, wait for an opportunity, wait for a chance to kill the enemy with one blow.
Life or death, it's all in a thought.
If it misses, there will never be a second chance like this.
A gamble with life as a bargaining chip, if you don't have a 12-point certainty, you must not take a risk.
At this moment, he could only endure it first.
"Whew......", Yang Xiaoling didn't know how long he had been standing outside, and slowly, he calmed down again. With a sigh of relief, he turned and walked back.
I didn't want to be in a trance for a while, but I accidentally touched a small pebble under my feet.
With a "bang", the stone rolled and made a subtle sound, which sounded particularly abrupt in this dark passage.
Yang Xiaoling was shocked in his heart and immediately stopped.
"Is it Ling'er"?
Sure enough, although it was just a very slight sound, I didn't want to be noticed by the people inside.
"Come in, my father-in-law just has something to tell you," the voice of the man inside sounded calm.
Yang Xiaoling's hand gripped the hilt of the sword again, but then let go again. Lifting his steps lightly, this step may be the boundary between life and death, but he doesn't want to die yet.
The moment he turned around and stepped forward, his heart was extraordinarily calm, without joy or sorrow, leaving everything behind, even life and death had long been put aside.
In the middle of the black tent, a man stood with his hands in his hands, he was the only one here, what about the man in black who was standing behind him just now?
Yang Xiaoling struggled to keep his breathing steady. His steps were slow, and he slowly walked behind the man and stood still, and asked with a normal expression: "Father-in-law, are you looking for me"?
Although the man turned his back to Yang Xiaoling, he seemed to smile and said, "Ling'er, I have something to go out recently, and all the affairs here will be handled by you for the time being."
Yang Xiaoling frowned slightly, wondering in his heart, just now the other party had obviously noticed that he was eavesdropping outside, why didn't he break it at this time, and let him deal with this matter, it was not to test him.
As soon as he thought of this, he also smiled reluctantly and said, "Father-in-law, I'm afraid I can't handle it well." Besides, I was going to come and tell you my father-in-law that I wanted to go out."
The man was slightly surprised and asked, "You want to go out"?
Yang Xiaoling replied very briefly, and said, "Yes, I specially came to inform my father-in-law, I don't know if I can grant this request of mine."
The man asked again, "Isn't there something important?"
Yang Xiaoling's face was calm, and he said, "I told my father-in-law earlier that my eldest brother's marriage is imminent, and the date is set in a few days, so I want to go out."
"Oh, that's the case......", the man asked again, "Then you go out, but you plan to go to congratulate your eldest brother"?
Yang Xiaoling replied very simply, "Exactly, I don't know if my father-in-law can agree to my request."
"You want to congratulate your eldest brother, this matter should be deserved, it is reasonable, I shouldn't refuse, it's just ......", the man was a little embarrassed for a while, and said slowly: "It's just that I just have a very urgent matter to deal with recently, and someone needs to be on duty here, so I ......."
Yang Xiaoling's eyes flashed with coldness, and he sneered a few times in his heart, but his face was very calm, and said: "Since my father-in-law has something, then I will give up this request, anyway, the eldest brother will still have a long time after marriage, and I am not in a hurry to bless him at this time."
"Alas......", the man sighed and smiled: "Ling'er, I'm really ashamed to be my father, you haven't asked for anything all along, but this time, I still ......."
"It's nothing ......", Yang Xiaoling didn't seem to care, and said: "Since my father-in-law has something, I won't bother you." Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
At this moment, the man finally glanced back at Yang Xiaoling, but his expression was gentle, and he didn't say anything else, so he said slowly: "Then you go out."
Yang Xiaoling turned to leave, and just as he stepped out of the stone room, he suddenly stumbled under his feet and almost fell. Douda's cold sweat seeped out of his forehead, he reached out and wiped it gently, just a little moment, he felt that the clothes all over his body were completely soaked with cold sweat.
Thinking of it just now, he was still a little frightened, obviously his father-in-law had found out that he was eavesdropping outside, why didn't he attack him.
Yang Xiaoling was puzzled.
If, if he knew the true identity of his stepfather......
He stood outside for a few more moments before leaving.
Yang Xiaoling knew in his heart that the important matter that his father-in-law said to deal with in person might be a conspiracy against Luoxue Valley in the conversation between him and the unidentified man in black, but he could only endure it.
In fact, at this moment, if he knew what his father-in-law and the man in black were doing when they went to Falling Snow Valley this time, he would definitely stop it at all costs, even if it was at the risk of his own life. In that case, perhaps the remorse in his heart would be lighter later.
It's a pity that there is never an when in the world.
"Lord, do you think he has begun to doubt you"?
The man in black just now walked out from behind a black tent, glanced at the direction Yang Xiaoling walked out, asked the man surrounded by the black tent in front of him, and said, "Moreover, he seems to have heard our conversation just now."
"Ling'er, he has been suspicious of me for a long time, and he has already listened to our conversation."
"Oh".
The man in front of him didn't answer the man in black directly, but asked rhetorically, "Don't you think that you have been suspicious of us since he left his sister to Xiaofeng?"
The man in black was a little surprised, and wondered: "Since the Lord has already noticed it, why is it still ......?"
He didn't say anything more.
The man in front of him sneered and asked, "Do you want to say why I kept him instead of killing him immediately"?
"Yes......", the man in black did not shy away from it, and asked: "Could it be that the Lord wants to meet him head-on"?
The man in front of him didn't answer again. It seemed that he didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he was silent for a while, and said: "It's time for us to go, it's not good if we miss the time to give Luo Wenbin a gift."
"That's exactly how ......", said the man in black, "I am ready to stop the carriage and horses, and I don't know when to leave"?
"Now ......".
