Chapter 2 The cold plum has love and reflects the snow

Tianshan Mountain Range, outside Yuntianfu.

A man dressed in a blazing red Western Regions costume stepped through the snow and came to the gate of Yuntianfu, this person was wrapped in a red square scarf on his head, carrying a bag of feather arrows and a well-made curved bow, the bowstring was transparent and fine, which was made of ice silk, a specialty of the Tianshan Mountains, and he held a long staff in his hand, and wore a white jade on his right waist, with a faint word "flow" on it.

The man walked to the vermilion gate of Yuntian Mansion, smiled slightly, held the doorknob and knocked lightly a few times, waiting for the people in the mansion to open the door. With a "squeak", the door slowly opened back, and a person with a yellow face and thin muscles, who looked like a weak scholar, held the door on both sides, looked at the visitor with a smile, and said: "Brother Liuyun is back." The previous man let out a startled sound, threw his staff on the ground, and hurriedly put his hands on the shoulders of the person who opened the door, and said gratefully: "Brother Zhiyuan, why don't you rest so late? ”

The "Brother Zhiyuan" smiled and said: "Big brother, don't be angry, I asked them to rest first." Brother Liuyun, it's not early, hurry up and change your clothes and bathe and rest early, it's been hard all the way!" the man let go of his hands, picked up his staff, and walked into the house.

That person is Chu Liuyun, the second son of Chumen, and the "Zhiyuan Virtuous Brother" is Chu Liuyun's bosom friend - Nangong Zhiyuan.

Chu Liuyun said to Nangong Zhiyuan as he walked: "Brother Zhiyuan didn't sleep so late, it's because you watched the stars and calculated the time of my return." Nangong Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Little brother is clumsy, I don't dare to show ugliness in front of Brother Liuyun." Chu Liuyun also smiled and said: "How dare you say that it is a clumsy skill? Brother Zhiyuan's stargazing skill is probably only matched by Mr. Zhuge Kongming in ancient times." Nangong Zhiyuan said: "Brother Liuyun praised it falsely. With that, the two of them laughed in unison.

After Chu Liuyun bathed and changed clothes, he walked into the hall and found that Nangong Zhiyuan was still sitting on a chair reading a book. Chu Liuyun took a closer look, and it turned out to be a copy of the Book of Changes. Seeing Chu Liuyun's arrival, Nangong Zhiyuan hurriedly put down the Book of Changes, clasped his fists and saluted: "Why doesn't Brother Liuyun rest?" Chu Liuyun smiled and asked, "Why doesn't Brother Zhiyuan rest?"

Nangong Zhiyuan held the "Book of Changes" in his hand again and said: ""Elephant" said: 'Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. Chu Liuyun listened to him reciting the contents of the Book of Changes on the surface, and he already understood in his heart that he meant secretly: A gentleman should keep struggling, and I should also keep reading and absorbing the wisdom of the ancients. I didn't bother him at the moment, just sat quietly on the sidelines.

Nangong Zhiyuan saw Chu Liuyun sitting aside, and couldn't help but stop reading and asked: "I see that eldest brother, you have a happy face, I don't know why?" Chu Liuyun secretly admired in his heart: this person is extremely intelligent, and he can even push out the internal psychology of a person through subtle changes in his face. Then he said: "Brother Xian's guess is good. My fifth brother Chu Zhuangyun ran away six years ago and has not been heard from since, and we have missed him very much in the past six years. After a pause, he said: "Recently, my third brother Chu Bingyun came up with a plan to lead the fifth brother to Donglinpo, and now my eldest brother Chu Suiyun has gone to Donglinpo, presumably during the Lantern Festival, he can reach Chumen." I can't hold back my joy when I think of this!" he let out a long breath and leaned his back back on the back of his chair.

Nangong Zhiyuan nodded and said, "This is indeed a big event to be happy about. Chu Suiyun said: "Tomorrow, I will leave for Chumen." It's just ......" Nangong Zhiyuan said: "Big brother is afraid that Yuntian Mansion will be unattended? It's okay, I will stay here forever." Only then did Chu Liuyun say with confidence: "Very good." Virtuous brother, you are shrewd and capable, and you have prestige among your subordinates. I'm most relieved to let you be in charge. ”

Nangong Zhiyuan got up and clenched his fist at Chu Liuyun, turned around and walked out of the hall. Chu Liuyun also stood up and walked to the backyard, he looked at the sinking moon and stars, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Time flies so fast, and the day will pass again! Unconsciously walked in front of a cold plum tree, only to see a cold plum standing on the branches. Chu Liuyun couldn't help but look stupid.

A snowflake fell down and landed on top of Chu Liuyun's head, turning into a puddle of water when it landed, Chu Liuyun was shocked, raised his head and said softly: "It's snowing again." ”

The snow in the Tianshan Mountains was sudden and sudden, and after a while, a layer of silver-covered "carpet" was laid in the back garden of Yuntianfu. Chu Liuyun looked at the charming red on the snow-capped ground, and realized that it was the plum blossoms shining on the white snow - the cold plum reflecting the snow.

Suddenly, a hurried knock on the door came into Chu Liuyun's ears. Chu Liuyun couldn't help frowning secretly, and said in his heart: "Who? In a flash, he came to the gate, and opened the vermilion gate with a "creak". A figure pounced on him and shouted, "Second brother, I miss my little brother!" Chu Liuyun looked at it and saw that person: wearing a pair of sky blue light armor, a blue scarf wrapped around his head, a handsome face, a pair of iron halberds on his back, a blue seal hanging on his left waist, and a black jade on his right waist, with a faint word "ice" on the jade.

"Third brother, what are you doing, so flustered?" Chu Liuyun scolded with a smile. Chu Bingyun just smiled "hee-hee" and was not angry. At this time, Nangong Zhiyuan also heard the sound, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Hello, Brother Bingyun." Chu Bingyun asked Chu Liuyun and said, "Second brother, this brother is ......" Chu Liuyun solemnly introduced: "Third brother, this is the Nangong Zhiyuan brother I often mentioned before. He's smart and witty, but he's not weaker than you. Chu Bingyun suddenly said in awe: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Nangong, I always heard the second brother mention you." Fortunately, I will be honored. Stretched out his hand to hold Nangong Zhiyuan's hands, secretly using internal strength. Suddenly, he heard Nangong Zhiyuan shouting "ah", and then fell backwards, and his pale face became even paler. Chu Liuyun and Chu Bingyun both rushed forward to help Nangong Zhiyuan, only to see Nangong Zhiyuan gasping for breath.

Chu Liuyun reproached: "Third brother, what are you doing!" Chu Bingyun said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Nangong." I really didn't know you didn't know anything about martial arts. Nangong Zhiyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, those who don't know should be innocent." As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

Chu Liuyun said: "Brother Zhiyuan has a skill that is unparalleled in the world, and that is 'stargazing'. Chu Bingyun let out an "oh" sound, and arched his hand to Nangong Zhiyuan and said, "Admire, admire." Brother Nangong is much smarter than me. Chu Liuyun slapped his head sharply and said with an apologetic smile: "My master is a failure, and he let the guests stay outside for so long." Third brother, quickly help Brother Zhiyuan into the house. ”

After the three of them entered the living room and took their seats, Chu Liuyun asked, "Third brother, you have come all the way this time, but is there anything urgent?" Chu Bingyun said: "Don't hide it from the second brother and the eldest brother of Nangong, I came this time to tell the two of you: The eldest brother has successfully received the fifth brother! The eldest brother also flew a pigeon and passed the book urgently, so we should hurry back." Chu Liuyun and Nangong Zhiyuan looked at each other and smiled, Chu Liuyun said, "I have already planned to leave tomorrow!" Chu Bingyun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Second brother is really clever!" and said to Nangong Zhiyuan: "Brother Nangong, your astrology is very accurate, why don't you go with us." Chu Liuyun also echoed: "Yes, yes, Brother Zhiyuan, you can join us!"

Nangong Zhiyuan waved his hand again and again and shook his head and said, "Brother Xian, don't make fun of the foolish brother." My martial arts skills are low, and my clumsy skills can only be laughed at and generous, but how can I help you? So I follow you, just a burden, only to add trouble to you, I think it's better to just do it!"

Chu Liuyun said with a straight face: "Virtuous brother, don't be arrogant. You are like a god, not only is it not our burden, but you are also our right-hand man!" Chu Bingyun nodded, looking at Nangong Zhiyuan with begging eyes. Nangong Zhiyuan frowned, and then said, "Okay." As long as you don't dislike me, it is. Chu Bingyun hurriedly smiled and said, "How can we dislike you, big brother? You are such a special talent, we can't ask for it!" Chu Liuyun smiled and agreed.

Nangong Zhiyuan got up and said, "In this way, I will order Wu Zi to be the housekeeper and let him take care of Yuntian Mansion." By the way, pack your bags. "Walked out of the hall.

Chu Liuyun looked out the window, the goose feather snow was falling slowly, and suddenly remembered the cold plum in the backyard, so he turned to Chu Bingyun and said: "Third brother, there is a wonder in my backyard, can you guess?" Chu Bingyun thought about it slightly, and said slowly: "The climate of the Tianshan Mountains is cold, and the current season is only suitable for plum blossoms to grow, and now it is snowing heavily. It must be 'cold plum reflecting snow'. Chu Liuyun couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Okay! worthy of being the think tank of Chumen!" Chu Bingyun smiled and slowly stood up and said, "Then the second brother took me to see the legendary 'Hanmei Yingxue'." Chu Liuyun also stood up and happily brought Chu Bingyun to the Hanmei plant.

Hanmei still stands proudly on the branches, like a bright fire in the snowy world. When Chu Bingyun saw it, he was overjoyed: It was indeed a great spectacle! Looking at the white snow, there were a few touches of red, which looked very elegant. The cold plum and the snow constitute a harmonious picture, an elegant landscape, and both of them are immersed in this picture scroll, forgetting themselves.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed into the court, and a sword "Dark Fragrance and Shadow" went straight to Chu Liuyun's heart.

Seeing that Chu Liuyun was about to be seriously injured, a thin body suddenly blocked Chu Liuyun's back, and the man in black saw that someone was suddenly blocking in front of him, and the blade of the sword was slightly off, stabbing at the person's right shoulder, wanting him to retreat, but he didn't expect the person to take a step forward. "Huh-", the tip of the sword had entered the man's right shoulder, and drops of bright red blood dripped from his shoulder, staining the snow red and forming the shape of a spotted plum blossom.

Hearing the sound of the sword entering the flesh, Er Chu came back to his senses, looked back, and saw that a person had been injured and sat on the ground, but it was not Nangong Zhiyuan.

Chu Liuyun was shocked and angry, holding his unique weapon "Tempered Fire Staff" in his right hand, and cast a mad wand to hit the man in black, Tianling Gai, and the man in black hurriedly swung his sword to block. At this time, Chu Bingyun had also sacrificed the "Hanging Spring Seal" in his hand and covered it towards the man in black, who was caught off guard and was hit by the Hanging Spring Seal and fainted.

Chu Liuyun rushed forward with an arrow step, and without waiting for Chu Bingyun to call: "Second brother, leave someone under the cane...... and pestle the man in black with the tail of the cane. "Hmm" the man in black snorted and died. Chu Liuyun used his toes to pick up the corpse of the man in black again. Hurriedly turned around to help Nangong Zhiyuan, who was seriously injured and had fainted, and Chu Bingyun also hurriedly came to check the injury.

Nangong Zhiyuan's martial arts foundation is thin, coupled with his thin stature, although this sword is not enough to kill, it also seriously injured him. Drops of red blood slowly poured out of his shoulders.

Chu Liuyun wept and said, "Brother Zhiyuan...... Why do you ...... Why don't you cherish yourself so much......" A smile appeared on Nangong Zhiyuan's pale face: "Because...... Because...... We are good brothers......" Chu Bingyun turned his head away, and tears were in his eyes.

Chu Liuyun forcibly suppressed his tears and said softly: "You have a good rest, don't hurt your vitality." Nangong Zhiyuan nodded slightly and said, "That person is the 'dark fragrance and shadow' of the Heavenly Sword Gate, and the person who came is from the Heavenly Sword Gate." After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

Heavenly Sword Gate?Chu Liuyun wondered in his heart: Chu Men has nothing to do with them!

Chu Liuyun raised his head and said to Chu Bingyun: "Third brother, I won't leave tomorrow." Chu Bingyun nodded: "Second brother should accompany Brother Nangong." Chu Liuyun gently lifted Nangong Zhiyuan's body and said, "But the matter of the fifth brother is also urgent. In this way, the third brother, you go to the fourth brother first. I arrived then. Chu Bingyun nodded again in agreement.

Chu Liuyun said slowly: "Third brother, be careful along the way. During the Lantern Festival, we will meet Truman. He slowly turned around and walked back down the hall one step at a time. Chu Bingyun followed the direction of the second brother and saw a column of blood imprinted in the snow in the shape of plum blossoms, reflected on the snow.

Chu Bingyun closed his eyes and sighed: This is the real "Cold Plum Reflecting Snow"! Turned around and jumped to the backyard wall, glanced back at it again, and disappeared into the wind and snow with the force under his feet.
