Chapter 17: Homecoming
Xiao Yi took off the horse chopping knife on his shoulder, untied his belt, and hurriedly bandaged his shoulder, but there was still blood oozing out, and Zhang Linyuan's knife injured Xiao Yi clearly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xiao Yi's face was a little pale, and there was also sweat on his forehead, which was a sign of excessive blood loss, after all, there was more than one injury on his body.
Su Xuran also stood up slowly, a little sweat messed up the light makeup on his face, his clothes were also a little dirty, his left arm was hanging low, it should be broken, and his chest was also hit by the back of a knife, but the injury was not as serious as Xiao Yi's injury. All four were injured this time, but fortunately their lives were saved.
Fortunately, suddenly, Xiao Yi looked towards the end of the long street, Ji Feng also looked over, but there was no clue, after a while, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and saw dozens of captains riding horses, leading two people, one of them was Xu Lao, with a melancholy face, and the other was in a gorgeous official robe, with good facial features.
After a while, the captain surrounded the four of them, and all four of them were seriously injured, and it was not easy to escape. Xu Lao immediately jumped off the horse when he saw Baili Guichen, and he was even more distressed when he saw the blood marks in Baili Guichen's hands.
Baili Jingye frowned, unlike his wife, he would not prefer his second son Baili to return to the sea, but Baili Guichen made him very uneasy. He personally sent Baili Guichen to the hands of his younger brother Baili Jingxing, and he was quite helpless in his heart, because Baili Guichen was not causing trouble by himself, he was already working hard to do his best.
Later, because the matter of Baili Jingxing involved the Baili family, the sin of Baili Guichen was great, but Baili Jingye did not blame him too much, he really owed the eldest son too much for so many years, the so-called son does not teach, and the father's fault is like this.
So when the family wanted to drive a hundred miles back to the dust like driving a hundred miles of Jingxing, he was particularly tough, and even quarreled with a few old people in the clan, which made the old people in the clan quite angry.
Later, the old patriarch said that Baili Jingye was the current patriarch and the leader of the clan, even if his decision was wrong, other people could only follow. said to Baili Jingye that the patriarch only needs to show his domineering side and let the clansmen feel the confidence of being the patriarch, and it is not necessarily impossible to be arbitrary.
Baili Jingye couldn't be as decisive as the old patriarch, in order not to cause dissatisfaction among too many people in the clan, he could only secretly take Baili Guichen with him, let Xu Lao take care of it, and even did not allow contact with other people in the clan, but Baili Guichen never objected.
Baili Guichen is really a very well-behaved child, and he obediently makes himself feel distressed.
It is not a trivial matter to kill people in a small city like Guanghua, and this person is still the commander of the palace.
At that time, the family was extremely prosperous, and when he was still in Yunhua City, he didn't dare to be rude to the commander, because the commander could meet the emperor at any time, if he said something bad about himself behind his back, it would be really difficult to prevent, but now he died in Guanghua City, where he had just taken office, and it seemed that he couldn't drag it out for a hundred miles, which was really difficult to do.
"How did this man die, did you four see it?"
The lieutenants all slandered, these four people, all of them were seriously injured, how could they be just bystanders? They saw that the relationship between Baili Guichen and Taishou was very close, otherwise Xu Lao would not be like this, but if all four of them were saved, how should this dead man be handled.
Baili Jingye obviously thought of this, "Guichen, you are not staying at home, what are you doing here, the three of you are suspicious, you want to..."
The lieutenant sneered in his heart, a few days ago, when he watched Taishou handle the case, he thought that this Taishou was quite fair, but he was so partial, it was not too much.
However, before Baili Jingye finished speaking, Baili Guichen said loudly:
"This person is me..."Baili Guichen has never disobeyed his father, when he was five years old, his father sent him to his uncle's house, he did not cry, a year ago, he was kicked out of the house, living with Xu Lao, he did not complain, but today he has to disobey his father's orders.
However, Xiao Yi preemptively said: "The person who died is the 'Flying Snow Thief' of Xueyin City, I came to hunt him down, this is my token." Xiao Yi actually took out a token from his arms, the red gold brand had a detailed dragon pattern on it, and the words 'Great Commander' were engraved in the middle.
Baili Jingye was shocked, of course he knew that this person was not the Great Commander, because the one who died was the real Commander, but this trick was very good, because this brand was the brand of the real Great Commander, and others didn't know it.
"Jia Yu, come and see if the person who died is from this city. ”
Captain Jia Yu hurriedly walked out, carefully identified, did not know Zhang Linyuan, and said: "This person is not registered in Guanghua City. ”
Baili Jingye hurriedly saluted: "Commander Zhang is here, it is really full of brilliance, this person may have hurt the people of Guanghua City, and he was removed by the Great Commander, I should really be grateful." ”
Baili Jingye is also a person who is like a fish in water in the court, so he naturally sees Xiao Yi's strategy, how can anyone else in Guanghua City know the commander in the palace of the capital except him, and the captain is in the clouds, even if he has suspicions, he can't debunk it.
"Commander Zhang, whether to go to the Taishou Mansion and kill this gangster must have taken a lot of effort. ”
"It's not necessary, I'm in a hurry, and there are many things in the palace, so I can't stay longer. Xiao Yi said this to a bit of official authority.
"Then there will be no rulers. "Baili Jingye is a polite word, naturally it is impossible to let Xiao Yi stay longer, after all, the longer the time, the easier it is to make flaws, these captains are short-sighted and can't tell the difference, but it is not easy to fool the stabbing history.
"Dispose of the body quickly, so as not to frighten the people. "The biggest flaw now is the corpse of this great leader, so Baili Jingye let people dispose of it earlier.
Xiao Yi and the three of them left first, although Baili Guichen also wanted to follow, but Xu Lao insisted on not letting go, Baili Guichen was not lightly injured, and he had to cultivate for some time, following these three people, Xu Laoshi couldn't let go.
The three of them first secretly returned to the Mingjian Gate, even the soldiers and horses who assassinated Shi Taishou did not dare to enter without permission, Xiao Yi's residence was also not lacking in herbal medicine, and the healing skills were also good, first Ji Feng and Su Xuran were hurriedly bandaged, but he was the most seriously injured on this trip.
After a few days, Ji Feng was the first to recover, after all, he was young, and Xiao Yi and Su Xuran's injuries could not recover so quickly. During this period, Ji Feng went to visit Su Xuran's home and saved his life, and Ji Feng was grateful.
When he arrived at Su Suran's house, he unexpectedly found that Su Suran was the wife of Yang Yun, a talented person in the city, Yang Yun obviously loved his wife very much, although he blamed Su Suran lightly, but he was still busy and rarely rested, and Su Suran was also very gentle at this time, how could he be indifferent when he was assassinated.
When I saw Ji Feng, I knew that I was here to find Su Xuran, and Yang Yun also entertained the guests with good gifts, and he was not slack because of Ji Feng's youth, and he was a little pedantic, but a good husband, Ji Feng thought so in his heart.
Leaving some medicinal materials brought from Xiao Yi, Ji Feng hurriedly left, he really didn't want to disturb Su Xuran's family too much. But thinking like this, Ji Feng also had the idea of going home.
When Ji Feng was about to be in good health, he proposed to go home to see his grandfather, Xiao Yi quickly agreed, and did not say anything else, since he killed Zhang Linyuan, Xiao Yi's words have decreased a lot, and more time is spent thinking about things, sometimes, thinking about it, his face will become more and more gloomy, and he is so depressed that people dare not breathe, Ji Feng doesn't care.
Early in the morning, Ji Feng left Guanghua City, which was two hours away from Tangqian Village, and the road was a little far. Walking all the way, until the mountains on both sides of the road are tall and green, and it is not far from the village.
When I saw the village, the houses were scattered under the mountain, or by the river, or by the trees, and some of them were connected to the ridges, and from a distance, the curved ridges looked like a big dragon lying down, and the simple mud houses with open doors looked like roaring dragons.
I haven't been home for a long time, Ji Feng walked to the entrance of the village and happened to meet the village chief, and when he saw Ji Feng, the village chief greeted him with a smile:
"Ji Feng is back, is Mingjianmen on vacation?"
Ji Feng nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, before he entered the Famous Sword Gate, the village chief didn't treat him like this, his pure black eyes have always been criticized, and the village chief who has read some books is even more convinced, thinking that he will bring bad luck.
Later, grandpa worked hard to let himself join the famous sword gate, and this situation changed, and now in their opinion, joining the famous sword gate is promising, such a fake welcome, Ji Feng's disdain in his heart flashed, and after the signal, he didn't talk much to the village chief, just rushed to his home, Ji Feng was a little rude, the village chief was a little dissatisfied, and the joy was a little less.
At home, I happened to see Uncle Dong, the neighbor who had returned from farming, and when I saw Ji Feng, Uncle Dong was obviously very happy, and hurriedly put down the farm tools and led Ji Feng to his home.
Ji Feng's grandfather is not from the village, but moved from other places, so other people in the village are somewhat repulsive to the Ji family, but Dong Erbo is an exception, and he has a lot of help to Ji Feng's family, and Ji Feng can feel Uncle Dong's kindness.
"Ji Feng, you haven't been back for too long. ”
"Well, the Famous Sword Sect has to practice swords every day, and it's a little busy. ”
"You must work hard in the famous sword gate, it's a coincidence that you came back this time, your grandfather hasn't been home for a long time, so come to my house for a meal first." ”
"Yes. Ji Feng didn't refuse, grandpa didn't often stay at home before, and he ate at Uncle Dong's house.
As soon as he walked into Uncle Dong's house, Uncle Dong shouted: "Mother-in-law, Ji Feng is back, cook some good dishes." ”
Aunt Dong hurried out of the kitchen with a scarf, and wiped it with her hand on the scarf when she left.
"Let me see, in the two years in the Famous Sword Sect, I have grown a lot taller, if my aunt remembers correctly, she is now fourteen and almost fifteen years old, and she has grown really fast. ”
"Go cook more. Uncle urged.
"Yes, yes!" said the aunt back into the kitchen.
"What did Ji Feng learn in the two years of the Famous Sword Sect?"
"Swordsmanship. ”
"Good guy, that Zhao fat man who is about the same age as you in the east of the village, is sturdy, and said that he wants to go to the capital to take the martial arts test? Haha, I don't believe it, there are immortals in the famous sword gate, and the palace can't be compared. Ji Feng, have you ever seen an immortal master?"
"Yes. "The immortal trail that Ji Feng has seen is the self-ssoning Xueyin Bell, but the real immortal has never seen it.
"Is the master of the Famous Sword Sect treating you well?"
"Good. "In the famous sword sect, Xun Chengyun, who has always been fair, is biased towards himself, Shao An is also hostile to himself, and other swordsmen have very little good impression of him, but it is enough for him to have Master Xiao Yi alone.
The lunch was extraordinarily sumptuous, and the food was very lively, although Ji Feng didn't say much, but they all replied to Uncle Dong and Aunt Dong one by one
