Hearing Guan Peng say this, Shangguan Yun was deeply shocked, he thought that the scene on Hengyun Ridge was just an ordinary robbery and vendetta, but he didn't expect that this matter was so widely implicated, so it was not easy to avenge his father. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After thinking about it carefully, Shangguan Yun felt that it was still a little strange, so he asked, "How can the Guan family know about such a confidential matter?"

"To tell you the truth, my father was originally a person in Gongzi Qiong's mansion in his early years, and when the Zhongyi Dart Bureau was established, he was also helped by Gongzi Qiong. It's just that my father didn't like officialdom, so he withdrew, but if he wanted to really get out, how difficult it was! My Guan family has actually always been a vassal of Gongzi Qiong, so there is this turmoil. ”

"I see. Shangguan Yun lowered his head and thought to himself for a while, then asked:

"In this way, those thieves are not the people of the prince?"

"Little brother, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple" Guan Peng smiled bitterly and continued: "This jade pendant is related to the relics of the Ji clan, that is, it is something that all races, countries, and even cultivators will want to seize, so everyone has the possibility of getting involved, but Gongzi Ba is more likely." ”

"In order to prevent my Guan family from leaking the news, after taking this dart, Gongzi Qiong detained me and my eldest brother's sons Guan Long and Guan Hu in Gongzi's Mansion in the name of accompanying the study, and only Guan Feng, the daughter of the second brother, was spared because she was studying art abroad. After the second brother's accident, Gongzi Qiong was furious, and limited us to find the jade pendant within three years, my eldest brother has been running around for this for the past two years, looking for inquiries, but there has been no news, and he has not returned. ”

"I didn't want to tell my little brother about this before, but I also considered that this matter was complicated, and the forces behind it were also unfathomable. ”

"Alas, it's all blame on the old man who shouldn't be reluctant to give up his family business, he should take care of it, pity Guan Lin and my son!" Old man Guan sighed on the couch, and the two lines of old tears couldn't help but flow.

"Father doesn't have to blame himself too much, that Gongzi Qiong has always been good to me about the family, and it can be regarded as kindness, but you had no choice at that time. ”

Shangguan Yun didn't know how to speak for a while, and the three of them all fell into deep thought.

After being silent for a long time, Shangguan Yun got up and saluted towards the Guan family's father and son, "The matter has come to this, Old Man Guan still has to take care of his body, what Master Guan Lin has entrusted him, the younger generation has done it, so he won't bother anymore, and he will leave!"

"By all means, the little brother is as kind to my Guan family, how can I leave here, please stay here for a few days, let me talk to the Guan family to express my gratitude!"

Guan Peng hurriedly grabbed Shangguan Yun, and Old Man Guan also hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

Shangguan Yun was depressed at this time, originally thought that by sending the jade pendant back to the Guan family, he would be able to find out about his father's murderer, but now he realized that he had fallen into such a chaotic situation, and it was so difficult to find clues!

"Poof!" Old Man Guan rolled off the bed in a hurry, and Guan Peng and Shangguan Yun hurriedly went to help, which made Shangguan Yun feel very upset.

"Why do you have to be like this, Shangguan Yun just promised you, but I do have something to do, I have to rush back to the master as soon as possible, and I must leave tomorrow!"

"Okay, it's up to you, Guan Peng, you go and arrange for the little brother to stay, and you must be entertained. ”

"Old man, don't worry. Guan Peng led Shangguan Yun out and arranged a small courtyard for Shangguan Yun to live in.

"Little brother, you rest here first, and Guan will come when he goes out to arrange a banquet. ”

"Master Guan, you don't have to break the bank, I'm a cultivator, just coarse tea and light rice. Shangguan Yun didn't want to be lively, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

When Guan Peng heard this, he smiled, "Little brother, how can you do it, you just wait here for a while, and Guan will come when he goes." ”

Shangguan Yun had no choice but to wash up in the room first, this month has been dusty, and it is really time to tidy up his appearance.

An hour later, Guan Peng came back and invited Shangguan Yun to the banquet. Shangguan Yun followed Guan Peng to the banquet place, which happened to be a flower hall in the back garden of the Guan family, and saw that the food had been arranged, and the old man Guan was already waiting there.

When Old Man Guan saw Shangguan Yun, he hurriedly helped the case and got up, wanting to come to greet him, but Shangguan Yun hurriedly walked over to help.

"Guan Lao Hero, you are not in good health, why do you come to accompany the juniors, you are so solemn, it makes the juniors embarrassed!"

"What did the little brother Shangguan say, you are my Guan family's life-saving benefactor, how can the old man be absent, as for the body, you send that thing back, the old man's illness is already half healed, little brother but it doesn't hurt to sit. ”

So the guests and hosts sat down, and at the banquet, Guan Peng's father and son were indescribably grateful, and frequently persuaded them to drink, although Shangguan Yun could drink, but he really didn't want to drink more, so after drinking a few glasses, he excused himself from the wine and left the table to rest.

Sending Shangguan Yun back to the room, Guan Peng immediately returned to the flower hall, where the old man Guan was waiting, and when he saw Guan Peng coming back, he said to Guan Peng, "Have you settled down?"

"Well, according to my father's arrangement, someone has been sent to keep an eye on it!"

"Alas!" Old Man Guan sighed, "In this case, you quickly go and send the jade pendant to Gongzi Qiong's mansion, if the prince's mansion doesn't ask anymore, forget it, if the prince's mansion asks how to find the jade pendant, the only way to do it is to let this little brother go on a trip, I can't do it authentically, but this is also a helpless thing." ”

"Son understands!" Guan Peng agreed, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Be careful on the road. Old Man Guan told again.

Besides, Shangguan Yun returned to the room and quietly thought about the things he heard today, only to feel that it was a mess, and he had no clue, and he felt the need to improve his strength. So he walked to the window, pushed open the small window, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, trying to calm his mood, but accidentally found that outside the door of the small courtyard, there seemed to be someone snooping, and he was stunned for a moment, secretly wondering what the people of the Guan family thought about themselves? After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely, so he simply walked out of the door, sat cross-legged under the tree in the courtyard, and began to practice, but he always retained a vigilance in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, Guan Peng returned to the Guan Family Dart Bureau, and after discussing with Old Man Guan for a while, he came to the small courtyard where Shangguan Yun lived.

Shangguan Yun was still meditating, and when he heard the movement, he stood up.

"Little brother, get up so early to practice!"

"Master Guan is early, it's just a habit for many years, and you got up early enough. ”

"Hehe, the old man is not at ease, I'm afraid that the little brother won't be used to it, let me come and see, go, I'll take you to breakfast." ”

"Master Guan doesn't have to bother, I ate a lot last night, I'm not hungry at all, I'm about to go and bid you farewell, just when you come, I'll leave my junior." ”

"Little brother, don't be in such a hurry, breakfast is ready, let's use some. Guan Peng repeatedly persuaded him.

Shangguan Yun had no choice but to have breakfast with Guan Peng, and then bid farewell to Guan Peng again.

"Little brother, don't worry, the old man specially told me to practice it for you personally, and I am waiting in the front hall. If you don't go, the old man will complain, and I can't afford it. ”

Regardless of Shangguan Yun's resignation, Guan Peng pulled Shangguan Yun all the way to the front hall.

Entering the front hall, Shangguan Yun was stunned, only to see that in addition to Old Man Guan, there were two people sitting in the hall. Old Man Guan sat at the bottom, in the middle of which was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a dark complexion, but it was Wang Haotian's uncle who he had seen in the gourd valley that day, and the one sitting on the left was his apprentice, the young man who stood like a flagpole.

Seeing Shangguan Yun coming in, Old Man Guan hurriedly pointed to Shangguan Yun and introduced the two: "Elder Yan, Feng Gongzi, this is Shangguan Yun's little brother." ”

"Little brother Shangguan, this is the Feng Gongzi on Gongzi Qiong's Mansion, this is the teacher of Feng Gongzi, the elder of Yan Liuge of Changchun Gate. ”

Shangguan Yun didn't react for a while, so he had to hug his fist at the two, "I've seen the two." ”

Elder Yan smiled slightly, motioned for Shangguan Yun to sit down, and then said, "You are a disciple of Changchun Sect, should I call you Shangguan Little Brother, or should I call you Shangguan Senior Nephew?"

"Shangguan Yun, a disciple of the lower court, has seen Uncle Yan. Shangguan Yun just got up and saluted again.

"Master, how do you confirm that he is a disciple of the Changchun Sect?" asked Feng Gongzi with some confusion on the side.

"Hehe, you forgot, his archery skills are very good, and you praised him that day. Elder Yan pointed to the pot of arrows in Shangguan Yun's waist.

After taking a closer look at the bow and arrows on Shangguan Yun's body, Feng Gongzi suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are the one who hunted the bull-headed crocodile, picked the three-color hibiscus, and made Wang Haotian half dead, by the way, I heard Shi Cuiyu say that you live in Feiliu Valley, right?"

was told the details, Shangguan Yun blushed a little, and had to nod his head in response, "Yes."

"Interesting, interesting, it seems that we are very fateful. The Feng Gongzi's originally tense face now had a subtle smile.

"Hehe, sit down and talk. Elder Yan then pointed at Feng Gongzi and said to Shangguan Yun: "Your Senior Brother Feng is the eldest son of His Royal Highness Qiong, and he is going back to Gongzi's Mansion with me to pay homage to His Royal Highness Qiong for his birthday these days. ”

Shangguan Yun thought to himself, where is this to express gratitude, it is clear that he is here to interrogate, but he hurriedly said: "The junior is entrusted by Master Guan Lin, this is what should be done." ”

Sure enough, the Feng Gongzi's face was straightened, and he returned to a cold appearance, and said to Shangguan Yun: "Senior Brother Shangguan, please tell me how you met Guan Lin and how you got the jade pendant?"

Shangguan Yun had no choice but to tell how he met Guan Lin and the situation that day.

After listening to Shangguan Yun's story, Elder Yan and Feng Gongzi looked at each other and nodded, and Feng Gongzi immediately spoke: "Senior Brother Shangguan has done my father a great favor by recovering the jade pendant, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my father!
