Chapter 50: Sunrise in the East (3800 words)
"My lord, are you okay?" Peng Cheng held Su Bingnan with one hand and asked anxiously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was no Xiao family and horses chasing behind them, and the two of them lurked in the dark night, quickly rushing towards the city gate.
Su Bingnan had already prepared and asked his six gates and the Jinyi Guards to wait for him in the woods on the east side of the city gate.
A gentle internal force came from Peng Cheng's palm, which made the serious injuries in Su Bingnan's body slightly relieved.
"There is no fear for your life. Su Bingnan slowed down and waved his hand, signaling that Peng Cheng didn't have to worry.
"Tonight is really dangerous, if you hadn't stepped into the realm of heaven and man, both of us would have died in the hands of the Xiao family. Su Bingnan sighed at Pengcheng's breakthrough.
Peng Cheng showed a smile on his face, but there was bitterness in his eyes, and said: "My talent is not good, I have practiced for forty years before I stepped into the realm of heaven and man, this is probably the peak of my martial arts in this life." ”
Diligence can make up for clumsiness, but it can't make up for the defects brought about by understanding.
"You don't have to be presumptuous, there are too many people who practice martial arts who can't reach the realm of heaven and man in their lifetime. Su Bingnan comforted.
Peng Cheng changed the subject and asked, "My lord, what do you mean by the last mention of the Hundred Martial Towers and the Prajna Palm?"
Not long ago, Su Bingnan relied on that sentence to make Xiao Haitang lose his mind, so he was able to kill him in the palm of his hand. What is the meaning of it, it actually makes Xiao Haitang, a person who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, lose color.
Su Bingnan shook his head and said, "I don't know what the secret is. I just know that the Xiao family's Baiwu Building has half of the Shaolin Temple's "Pranya Palm". ”
Peng Cheng didn't ask much, even he could detect the hidden dark waves, and until now, there was no Xiao family to chase after him, which may also be related to what Su Bingnan said.
Su Bingnan suddenly stopped, and a trace of blood spilled from his mouth and nose.
The suppressed injuries in his body erupted violently, his whole body trembled, his whole body was pulled by qi, and his internal force was as disordered as the flooding of the Yellow River.
Opening his eyes, Su Bingnan smiled at Peng Cheng and said: "Don't worry, this is just a superposition of previous injuries, and I can only rely on internal force to forcibly suppress to wait for recovery, but during this period, I am afraid that I can only show my strength by means of snapping my fingers." ”
Seeing Su Bingnan's light breeze and accustomed to injury, Peng Cheng couldn't speak, just nodded silently.
The city was filled with fog, and although the night was not cold, it was cold and penetrated into the heart.
On the side of the stone-paved pavement, there is a stall lit up in dim light.
An old couple sat together, rubbing their palms with a sigh of anger, and looked at Su Bingnan and Peng Cheng.
Smelling the faint fragrance wafting in the air, Su Bingnan smiled at the old couple and said, "Old man, can you have two bowls of beef noodles?"
The old couple looked at the blood stains on Su Bingnan and Peng Cheng with some fear, and finally nodded in agreement. The old man hurriedly went below, and the old woman helped on the side.
After a while, the aroma of beef noodles floated in the air, and the old woman saw that she couldn't help much, so she walked to Su Bingnan's side and said in a trembling voice: "This lord, two bowls have a total of sixty Wen." ”
Peng Cheng took out a tael of silver from his body and handed it to the old woman, who blinked her eyes, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, and she hurriedly came to the stall to ask for change.
Along with the change, there were two bowls of steaming beef noodles, looking at the enough beef noodles, Su Bingnan sighed with some emotion: "There is a delicacy called beef vermicelli in Wuling City, and the taste is really unforgettable." ”
The old man came to Su Bingnan's side and said courteously: "Don't be too expensive, my lord, the price of food in Pengcheng is too high, we are just begging for food." ”
Su Bing suddenly asked, "Is my life precious?"
He was greeted by two sharp sword lights.
In the right hand, two bowls of beef noodles smashed on the two sword blades, but the long sword continued to kill Su Bingnan.
Boosting his luck, Su Bingnan felt a sharp pain, and in desperation, he could only move the table between the two sides.
Wood chips shattered and ejected in all directions.
The two wanted to continue attacking, but Peng Cheng did it.
Sensing the momentum of the Heavenly and Human Realm, the faces of the two changed greatly, and they were about to flee, but they were slapped by Peng Cheng one by one, and they all hit the vital point.
"Sword Pavilion Wang Family?" Su Bingnan said to the two with a smile: "Do you think the grievances back then were not deep enough?"
The old man knew that his fate was not long in coming, and he shouted at Su Bingnan: "Thief, you killed the three heroes of my Wang family, and you deserve death!"
"Hao Zhi invited you here?" asked Su Bingnan, then pursed his lips again, flicked his hands, and the two chopsticks turned into flying rays and were directly inserted into the throats of the two of them.
"Let's go. Su Bingnan said to Peng Cheng, leaving the messy paving, only two corpses were left without looking at them.
On the way, Peng Cheng couldn't help but ask, "How did the adults tell that those two were assassins?"
Su Bingnan explained: "The two people of the Wang family are too stupid, they pretend to be bad, they have to pretend to be beef noodles. Now that the imperial court prohibits civilians from slaughtering cattle, only the group of idiots of the Sword Pavilion royal family are whimsical and directly sell beef noodles. ”
In the process of going to the city gate, the two hid the blood stains on their bodies and changed their appearances.
In the face of the greedy guards, the two pretended to be fat sheep and gave out a sum of silver, and immediately ran to the east of the city after leaving the city gate.
......
The other side.
The Xiao family was in a bleak scene, everyone knew the news that Xiao Haitang was dying, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped this group of people.
Xiao Haitang felt his weaker and weaker vitality, looking at the Xiao family on both sides, his eyes were full of nostalgia.
"Family Master, I will definitely have a common enmity with Su Bingnan from now on!" the Great Elder's voice was mixed with sadness and indignation.
Xiao Haitang shook his head and told the Great Elder what Su Bingnan said to him.
The Great Elder held back his tears and said, "What if the imperial court knows about it? I see that the country is also about to be chaotic, and when the time comes, without the protection of the imperial court, he Su Bingnan is just a lost dog." ”
Xiao Haitang smiled at the old man and said: "Great Elder, I still remember that my name was given by you, because you want my future quality to be unpretentious, low-key and introverted, but unfortunately, Xiao Haitang finally became a laughing begonia." Su Bingnan is different from me, he is not like you, the Great Elder, nor is he a laughing begonia, to be honest, I can't see through him. ”
"I have been practicing martial arts under your teaching, every step has been strictly planned, I have reached the realm of heaven and man, and unfortunately fell to the realm of not bad, I boast of extraordinary talent, in the end I am still no match for a young man. ”
"I admit that even when I was defeated by him in the martial arts arena before, I underestimated him in my heart. Who am I? I am the head of the Xiao family, and there are countless sons and daughters of the Xiao family who serve me, and he is just a stinky boy. I was wrong, and now I have paid the price, but Great Elder, you and the Xiao family can't be wrong. ”
The Great Elder listened to Xiao Haitang's words and nodded wordlessly.
When the group hurried up and came to Xiaojia Villa, the morning star outside the sky had risen high, and Xiao Haitang's face was even paler.
Xiao Haitang knew that the deadline was approaching, so he called Yan Zihan, who had a cold war with him and said that he wanted to go back to his parents' home.
When Yan Zihan arrived, he saw a man with blank eyes.
She couldn't believe that the haggard man in front of her was the former Xiao Haitang, the laughing begonia with a nausea fetish.
"Yan Zihan, I'm sorry. At this time, only the two of them were alone, and Xiao Haitang's voice was even weaker.
Yan Zihan's long eyelashes trembled, and he didn't speak.
"Forgive me for being a little verbose, I think that after I say these words to you, I should also meet King Yama for a while. Xiao Haitang said.
Yan Zihan's indifferent face softened a little, and said, "Say it." ”
Xiao Haitang showed a smile on his face and said, "It's me who is sorry for you, when the Yan family and the Xiao family were married, I was hit hard because of the fiasco with the Likong mage, and I have long lost the ability of a man, and I can only feel it under some extreme stimulation......"
"Who listens to you say this. Yan Zihan interrupted him.
Xiao Haitang paused and continued: "Although you and I have no husband and wife, but we have the name of husband and wife, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred days, I once thought that it was my fault to pull you into the abyss, but the Xiao family should not be implicated." ”
Yan Zihan realized something and said, "You ......"
"Yes. Xiao Haitang spoke more and more hard, "The Xiao family after my death can't live without you, the Xiao family's business has basically been carried out by you over the years, if the Xiao family is a master, then money is internal force, without your host, I am afraid that the Xiao family will be chaotic." ”
Yan Zihan refused: "Even if there is no me, the Xiao family is just in a hurry, and it will take a few years at most to stabilize." ”
Xiao Haitang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I don't have a few years." ”
Yan Zihan was puzzled.
Xiao Haitang said: "In the past, I was blind, but now when I am about to die, I suddenly realize the crisis in front of me, and the world is going to be chaotic. At this time, if the Xiao family is in chaos, I am afraid that the foundation of the Xiao family for more than two hundred years will be ruined. ”
"I can't be a sinner of the Xiao family, I beg you to agree to my conditions. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Haitang struggled to get up and knelt down in the direction of Yan Zihan.
"Alright, get up, I promise you. Yan Zihan looked at Xiao Haitang's current appearance, his heart softened, and he agreed.
Xiao Haitang showed joy on his face, walked out of the door, and said to the great elder who had been guarding: "Before I die, I want to eradicate hidden dangers for the Xiao family." ”
He said to another confidant: "Bring me Xiao Tiannan." ”
Xiao Tiannan returned from Qingyun City two days ago, and when he heard that Su Bingnan defeated his father for the little man named Wang Tianya, he was still scared into a cold sweat, but when he knew the final result, he also put his heart in his stomach.
Now when he learned in a sleepy eye that Xiao Haitang wanted him to go over, he was reluctant, but he rushed over in a panic, Xiao Haitang's prestige in his heart was too strong.
When he saw Xiao Haitang, he found that the atmosphere was extremely strange, and his father had gathered a group of henchmen, including the Great Elder, a powerhouse in the Heavenly and Human Realm.
Xiao Haitang's face was a little ruddy at this time, and the momentum of the previous head of the family appeared on his body again, but the Great Elder and Yan Zihan both knew that this was a return to the light.
"Come here. Xiao Haitang smiled at Xiao Tiannan and said, "Don't you want to be the heir of the head of the family?"
Xiao Tiannan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward, only Yan Zihan and the Great Elder, who knew the inside story, couldn't bear to tilt their heads to one side.
What greeted Xiao Tiannan was a majestic palm.
This palm directly shattered the meridians of Xiao Tiannan's whole body, so that he could only become a waste person in the future, and he had no martial arts at all, and he also lost the possibility of becoming the head of the family.
Xiao Haitang sighed: "I still can't give up. ”
Then, he turned his head and said to everyone present: "I declare that from now on, the Great Elder and Zihan will be responsible for everything in the Xiao family, and as for the selection of the new family master, it will also be decided by the two of them. ”
At this time, someone took the seriously injured Xiao Tiannan away, Xiao Haitang didn't look at his son, and said: "Among my sons, Tiannan is the only eldest son, but I know his heart best, if he becomes the head of the family, the Xiao family will only be doomed in the next troubled times." ”
Everyone was extremely shocked, they couldn't imagine that Xiao Haitang would make such a decision and shatter his son's meridians with his own hands.
Xiao Haitang continued to explain the aftermath, waiting for everyone to understand his meaning before slowly getting up.
"I finally know how difficult it was for the ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty of the Xiao family back then. Xiao Haitang muttered to himself: "But my junior didn't have the long-term vision like him, and only did he do the right thing when he was dying." ”
Xiao Yuan Dynasty, the most glorious figure of the Xiao family, from Taizu to Emperor Wu, after decades, turned the Xiao family into a heroic family of the imperial court, and laid the 300-year great cause of the Xiao family.
Xiao Haitang once delusionally wanted to surpass this old ancestor, so he befriended the wealthy family, and did not hesitate to put down his face and besiege Su Bingnan according to Hao Zhi's words...... All of this is for the strength of the Xiao family.
"I don't think I'm like a martial artist in my life, I saw the strength of the government and tried my best to get close to the government, but in the end I found that it was all useless. Xiao Haitang pushed open the window and looked at the faint light on the horizon.
Everyone didn't dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing Xiao Haitang's last tranquility before his death.
With a sigh, Xiao Haitang looked back at everyone and said, "I now know that I am actually jealous of Su Bingnan, and the Xiao family has made me and dragged me down." If there is an afterlife, I only wish to be able to go to the end of the world without worry, with wine and sword. ”
"It's a pity. ”
The morning sun spits out the fog, spraying a thin red glow, looking at the magnificent sunrise scene in the distance, the brilliance in Xiao Haitang's eyes dimmed little by little, he smiled, and finally said: "I really want to see tomorrow's sunrise." ”
The red sun gradually rose, and Xiao Haitang died.
......
At this time, Su Bingnan glanced at the red sun in the sky and said to the group of centaurs who had already prepared.
"Let's hit the road. ”
