38. Wine is a thousand cups of confidants, and there are no speculations, and more than half a sentence

"Ahh Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"How much does it hurt? You endure it, but it's just some skin trauma, and it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones. Su Qiaoqiao dragged Hua Qian's injured left arm and said while bandaging.

"It hurts, my shoulder was cut with a knife, it really hurts! I haven't practiced kung fu, how can I be like you one by one, and I take fighting injuries and other things as commonplace? Today is the first time I've fought with so many people since I grew up!" Hua Qian said.

"I know that it hurts, why don't you hurry up and follow Xu Daxia and them back, you have to send the woman surnamed Wu back to the city. Childe, do you know how many people in Washington are worried about you?" Quan Chengkong, who was standing next to the bed, looked at the bruises and purple scars on Hua Qian's body.

Hua Qian smiled embarrassedly, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I...... Aren't I afraid that something will happen to her girl's family? Those Wan Yingtang people, but they are staring at her, doesn't this burn down her Yishui Pavilion? It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous--oh, my sister-in-law, you should be lighter!"

Although Su Qiaoqiao already knew that Yishui Pavilion was burned down, when she heard Hua Qian mention this, she would inevitably feel sad in her heart, so she was absent-minded for a while, and she hurt Hua Qian again. When she heard Hua Qian cry out in pain, she came back to her senses, her cheeks were slightly red and said, "Okay, okay, don't scream, I'll just be lighter." You said when the fire started, she ...... Sister Wu just stood motionless on the street and looked at Yi Shui Pavilion?"

Hua Qian nodded: "Yes, so many things suddenly happened today, I guess she must be very uncomfortable." I thought she would cry, but what I didn't expect was that she didn't seem to have a trace of sadness except for some anger. ”

She ...... That's right. Su Qiaoqiao whispered.

Quan Chengkong said angrily: "Hmph, that woman is very indifferent and ruthless, where can she cry and shed tears? I said Childe, such a woman still needs you to protect it? If something happens on the road, she will protect you, right?"

"This ...... Well, there's some truth to what you're saying, haha. Hua Qian said vaguely.

In addition to Hua Qian, Quan Chengkong and Su Qiaoqiao, Xu Yun and Xia Jingren were also in the house. That Xu Yun sat at the square table, drinking wine by himself, smiling and listening to Hua Qian's words, without saying a word, just shaking his head slightly.

That Xia Jingren was standing next to Quan Chengkong, and he didn't speak much, but at this time, he suddenly said: "Little uncle, I still haven't figured it out, why did you sell the house in the city to that woman for one or two silver?"

"What, a tael of silver?" Quan Chengkong's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he wanted to glare out.

"Ah, yes, a tael of silver. Hua Qian laughed.

"But why?" asked Jeon Sung-kong.

Hua Qian swallowed his saliva and said: "Don't I see that the place where she lives has been burned, I think she is quite pitiful, so I think about selling the house to her." ”

"But this ...... This...... One or two pieces of silver, you might as well give it to her for nothing!" said Quan Chengkong, stomping his foot.

"Brother Quan, this is what you don't understand, don't you know that it is difficult to buy a beautiful woman with a smile? I heard that in the past, there was a king who did not hesitate to light a beacon to tease the princes and nobles of the whole country in order to change the smile of the beauty, and in the end even the country died. Compared to this king, your son-in-law is quite good!" Xu Yun fiddled with the wine glass in his hand and said suddenly.

"Xu Daxia, these are completely different things. What you said was an allusion to the princes of Zhou Youwang's Fenghuo Opera, and that Youwang did such a ridiculous thing for the sake of Concubine Bo's smile. And our son, he is just too good-hearted......" Quan Chengkong was talking, and suddenly felt as if something was wrong, so he stopped talking. He looked at the expressions on Hua Qian and Xu Yun's faces, and said to Hua Qian with a little surprise: "Childe, you ...... Did you fall in love with that Wu Chengfang?"

When Xu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but snicker. That Hua Qian frowned and glanced at Xu Yun, and said to Quan Chengkong: "Ah, yes, I have a crush on him, can't I?"

"This ......" Quan Chengkong smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer Hua Qian.

"Okay, of course it's okay, but, Sister Wu, does she know?" Su Qiaoqiao finished dressing Hua Qian with medicine and stood up.

"I'm not her, how would I know. Hua Qian moved his freshly bandaged left shoulder slightly, and said with frustration.

"Then did you ask her?" said Su Qiaoqiao.

Hua Qian shook his head: "This kind of thing...... Why are you embarrassed to say it in front of her?"

Su Qiaoqiao said: "How can it be done, guessing like this is not a way after all." Sister Wu's temperament is straightforward and open-minded, this kind of thing, the son just asks her in person. ”

Xu Yun saw that Su Qiaoqiao was giving Hua Qian an idea, so he smiled, put down the wine glass, and came to the courtyard.

"Sister Wu's temperament is straightforward and open-minded, this kind of thing, the son just asks her face-to-face. Xu Yun repeatedly played with this sentence in his heart, and thought secretly as he walked: "It would be nice if it was really as simple as Miss Su said." ”

Turning out of the arch, Xu Yun walked into the backyard, but saw that Long Yiwen was practicing boxing in the backyard.

"Third junior brother. Xu Yun called Long Yiwen and walked towards him with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, it's a big brother. Long Yiwen put away his fists and feet and said to Xu Yun.

"It's past noon, and you still have to practice, no wonder you will win the championship at the martial arts competition held by Yelu Longqing. Xu Yun said with a smile.

Long Yiwen shook his head and said: "Alas, don't mention this, they Khitans, when it comes to horseback riding and archery skills, there is really nothing to say, they are much stronger than our Han people." But when it comes to this fist and foot kung fu, it depends on us Han people. At that martial arts competition, I didn't meet any decent opponents at all, and I often beat the next one in seven or eight moves, which was very boring. ”

Xu Yun said: "There are so many strong men in the Khitan Kingdom, can't they pick out a decent one?"

Long Yiwen thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid there is only one, I remember what it seems to be called Xiao Alushou, the kung fu is not bad, it is estimated that when I come to the Central Plains, I can also be regarded as a master, at least it should not be a problem to clean up the one called Gongsun Liangbi." ”

Xu Yundao: "That Gongsun Liangbi's martial arts are no longer weak, what is the origin of Xiao Alushou, he can beat him, could it be that he learned martial arts in the Central Plains?"

Long Yiwen said: "His kung fu path is quite weird, I really can't tell which school he is." Alas, don't talk about this, just now I saw that Hua Changwu Great Wisdom Fist made beautiful, and my heart itched, it just so happened that Senior Brother you are here, how about we have a fist and kick competition?"

When Xu Yun heard that Long Yiwen was going to test his fists and feet, he suddenly felt that his scalp was numb: "You see that Changwu's great wisdom boxing is good, you should find him to compete, why are you looking for me?"

Long Yiwen said: "That Changwu's kung fu is good, but didn't you also say it, his strength has not yet reached the fire, so I still have to find a master like you to make a move." ”

Xu Yun frowned and said: "Your falling flower palm comes out, I can't wait to bulldoze the mountain, I don't want to compete with you, we haven't seen each other for many years, it's better to compare the amount of wine." ”

When Long Yiwen heard that Xu Yun was going to fight for wine, he couldn't help laughing: "Wine, of course you have to drink it, and you have to drink it unconscious to be enjoyable." However, that was tonight, and now, we should still learn martial arts, and see if our kung fu has grown after so many years. ”

Xu Yun saw that he couldn't avoid the competition, so he smiled and said, "Then you allow me to go and get the sword first, otherwise I won't fight with you." ”

Long Yiwen said: "No, I saw you fight with that shaved head today, and I have learned your swordsmanship." Your current swordsmanship should have reached the realm of the unity of man and sword, as Master said, and I, who is bare-handed, am afraid that I will lose to you if I can't make fifty moves under your sword. ”

"Then I'll find you a sword too, let's compare swords. Xu Yun said and was about to exit the backyard.

"That's not even better, if I want to compete with you with the sword, within ten moves, I will have to abandon the sword and beg for mercy. In my opinion, let's try our fists and feet!" Long Yiwen said, and he had already stepped forward and waved his palm towards Xu Yun.

Xu Yun saw that Long Yiwen made the first move, so he had to use the hundred flowers in his body to grit his teeth and take this powerful palm first, and then he hit Long Yiwen three times in a row. Long Yiwen felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and shouted: "Good palm technique!" and also met it with three falling flower palms.

only heard three loud noises of "bang bang bang", and the grass and trees in the backyard of the poor Washington Mansion that had just spit green were affected by the palm power of the two people, and they fell to the ground with broken branches and new leaves. Xu Yun and Long Yiwen were both shocked, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back, and after a while, they both looked up to the sky and laughed.

Long Yiwen raised the gourd and took a sip and said, "Senior brother, you have lived in seclusion in the mountains for the past few years, and it seems that you have been practicing every day!"

Xu Yun said with a smile: "After you were allowed to go down the mountain by your master, you have been practicing outside, and it seems that you have not relaxed in the slightest. ”

Long Yiwen said: "That's natural, if I didn't even have this kind of awareness, the master wouldn't have accepted me, a reckless man who went to the mountain gate, as an apprentice." ”

Xu Yun saw that Long Yiwen had repeatedly mentioned Master, his face turned slightly solemn, and he said to him: "Actually, I came to you this time to ask you something important, but on the way back, because I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to have a good chat with you. ”

Long Yiwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Do you have something to ask me? ”

"Exactly. Xu Yun nodded.

"I have also heard those rumors, saying that Master died under the palm of a falling flower, and that you are the murderer of Master. I'm sure it has nothing to do with you, but the palm print is a bit hard to explain. Long Yiwen said, "You said that you have something important to do with me, do you suspect that I have something to do with Master's death?"

Xu Yundao: "I also believe that you will definitely not be a murderer, in fact, what I want to know is, have you passed on the Falling Flower Palm Method to others?"

"Nope. Long Yiwen replied, "When I went down the mountain, Master repeatedly instructed me that the kung fu of our Yunzhuang should be passed on to people with good conduct, so that I should not accept disciples at will. He also said that if it was convenient, it would be better for me to take the heir to his old man's house and ask for his permission before passing it on. I have always remembered Master's teachings, so I have yet to teach Yunzhuang martial arts to others, let alone the stunt Falling Flower Palm Technique. ”

"Well, that's good. Although Xu Yun said this, he was even more confused in his heart: "If the third junior brother didn't pass on the Luohua palm to outsiders, then where should the murderer of the master be investigated?"

Long Yiwen saw Xu Yun's frowns, so he said: "Senior brother, in fact, if I were you, I would not have left Yunzhuang since the day the master died." Master died in Yunzhuang, not outside, you didn't look for clues in Yunzhuang to find the murderer, but you left Baiyun Peak directly and returned to the rivers and lakes, what is the matter? Your sudden departure from Yunzhuang will only make others more suspicious that you are the murderer of Master. Some people with ulterior motives will work harder to add fuel to the fire, fabricate rumors into the truth, and spread them wantonly on the rivers and lakes. And for most people, no matter what the truth is, it will not be more attractive than the story of Zhang Fangzhou and Zhang Daxia being killed by Xu Yun, who was brought up by himself. I think that even if the day comes out in the future, I am afraid that many people will still choose to believe that the murderer of the master is you, senior brother. ”

Xu Yun listened to Long Yiwen's words, and suddenly remembered that he had said a similar truth to Hua Qian. At that time, he pushed the deaths of Li Er and Li San onto Hua Niangzi, so as to win over the beggar gang to deal with Wan Yingtang. However, in the matter of the killing of Master Zhang Fangzhou, he became the same as Wan Yingtang, just because of some clues that were not very tenable, he became the "real murderer" in most people's hearts. However, who is the "Xu Yun" who guided most people to determine that he Xu Yun was the murderer, and where is he now?

He didn't know, and, he had no idea.

"I don't care, I just want to find the murderer of Master, I don't care what the people next to me think. Xu Yun smiled and said in a low voice.

"Then you know now, I didn't pass on the Falling Flower Palm to others, how do you want to find the murderer next?"

"I don't know. Xu Yun smiled again.

Long Yiwen was silent, and drank the wine until he drank the wine in the gourd, and then said to Xu Yun: "Senior brother, didn't I tell you just now, that murderer is probably someone from our Yunzhuang!"

Xu Yun shook his head: "No, how is it possible, among our senior brothers, apart from you and me, will there be anyone who will fall into the palm of his hand?"

"Don't forget, there is still a sword wound on the master's body! Among the disciples of Yunzhuang, besides you, who else is a master of using a sword, you know better than me!" Long Yiwen stared at his eyes like copper bells and said loudly.

"Are you talking about Senior Brother Qin?" Xu Yun shook his head and said, "I know that when you were in Baiyun Peak, you didn't like him, but you can't doubt him because of prejudice." Do you know that in the past few years, he has been in charge of the affairs of the Zhuangzi for the master? The master is so important to him, why did he kill the master? Also, how to explain the palm print of the fallen flower?"

Long Yiwen sighed: "Senior brother, do you know why Yunzhuang is called Yunzhuang? There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that it is because Yunzhuang is built on the top of a high mountain, and the people who live in Yunzi can reach out and touch the white clouds, so it is called 'Yunzhuang'." But Master once told me that the reason why this Yunzhuang is called Yunzhuang is because you have the word 'Yun' in your name. Master once said that he has no children under his knees, and in the future, this Yunzhuang will be handed over to you after all. ”

Xu Yun saw that Long Yiwen suddenly said this for no reason, and said strangely: "What do you say about these things and don't have them?"

Long Yiwen touched the gourd hanging on his waist, shook his head and said: "I called you 'senior brother', that's because you started earlier than me, but after all, I am a few years older than you, I have eaten a few years more than you, and I have walked a few more years." There are some things that I may see more clearly than you, do you know what Master meant when he said that he would leave Yunzhuang to you?"

Xu Yun was puzzled: "What does it mean?"

"Master confiscated you as a righteous son, even if you were raised by Master, you are just his apprentice, why did Master pass on his family business to you?

"I ...... Still don't get it. ”

"Don't forget, the little junior sister is the master's biological daughter! if you marry the little junior sister, you will be the master's son-in-law, then it will be a natural thing to take over the entire Baiyun Peak!" Long Yiwen clapped his hands and said hurriedly.

"What?" Xu Yun was taken aback when he heard this, he really had never thought about this question. For so many years, he has always regarded Zhang Yuting as his sister, but he never thought that one day he would marry Xiaoyu as his wife.

Suddenly, he thought of the worrying girl again, and remembered the unpleasant, even a little angry look on his face when the master saw him talking and laughing with her at the martial arts conference eleven years ago: "Could it be that everything is really like what the third junior brother said?"

"Judging by your reaction, you should understand what I mean. Long Yiwen said in a loud voice.

"Uh, but, what does what you said have to do with Senior Brother Qin?" Xu Yun came back to his senses and blurted out.

Long Yiwen cleared his throat and said, "Last summer, I saw Qin Zun and the little junior sister in Mingzhou, although they only got along for less than a day, but I can see that Qin Zun's kid is interested in the little junior sister. I don't know if he thought about the little junior sister because he had the idea of taking over Yunzhuang, but he couldn't be wrong to have wrong thoughts about the little junior sister. You said that in the past few years, Master has valued him and often asked him to deal with the affairs of Zhuangzhong. If it were for me to be Qin Zun, and seeing that Master asked me to take care of this and that every day, I would definitely think that Master intended to let me take over Yunzhuang, so he asked me to do this. If he knew what Master really thought in his heart, it would mean that his previous daydreams would be torn to shreds, what do you think he would think, and what would he do?"

"Even if he is angry in his heart, it is impossible to kill Master!"

"You treat Master as if he were his own father, but other brothers may not be like that. I think that before Qin Zun went up the mountain, he was just a poor boy in the countryside, and he went to Yunzhuang to learn art just to be able to get ahead in the future. So even if it is the master and his old man, if it hinders the development of his surname Qin, I am afraid that he Qin Zun will turn his face and deny people!"

"Look at what you said, you said that Senior Brother Qin was like a scoundrel. Even if what you said is true, how can you explain it?" Xu Yun still didn't believe that Qin Zun was the murderer of Zhang Fangzhou.

Long Yiwen sighed: "You and I are very clear about the method of the falling flower palm, if Qin Zun knows the method of cultivation, even if he does not have his master to teach the palm method, he can still make the falling flower palm print, there is nothing unusual, why do you stare at the palm print? The important thing is that sword wound!"

"You mean, Senior Brother Qin...... Peeked at Master's cheats?" Xu Yun wondered.

"Probably. Long Yiwen saw that Xu Yun was still asking about the connection between Qin Zun and Luohua Palm, and was slightly disappointed: "You are a person, when you competed with that head shaver, you could even make a ruthless move like cutting off your wrist, why did you relent, and you kept looking for a reason to excuse him?"

Xu Yun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "All of this you said is just speculation, Senior Brother Qin may not be the murderer of Master, so why should I excuse him?"

When Long Yiwen heard this, he felt irritable in his heart, shook the wine gourd and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm going to pour wine into my gourd." With that, he left Xu Yun behind and strode out of the backyard.

"You still can't drink the wine that night!" Xu Yun shouted as he looked at Long Yiwen's broad back.

"If you don't drink anymore, you shouldn't drink tonight, but the more you drink, the more boring you get. Long Yiwen waved his hand and said without looking back.

"Then another day!" Xu Yun smiled and was about to return to his residence, but he didn't walk a few steps, but he happened to meet Hua Qian who was wandering around the courtyard.

"Brother Yun, are you going to drink tonight, I can accompany you!" Hua Qian said.

"You've just had a knife wound, what kind of wine are you drinking? If you want to drink, wait until you're healed. By the way, Miss Su...... Finished talking to you?" Xu Yun asked Hua Qian with a smile.

"Ah, that's it. She said a lot of things, useful and useless, and almost went straight to the door to propose. Hua Qian grinned and touched the back of his neck in embarrassment.

Xu Yun smiled and asked, "Then what do you think, do you want to ask the shopkeeper Wu directly face to face?"

"Ah, I...... That's what I'm going to do, don't think about it, just ask her, cut through the mess quickly!" Hua Qian clenched his fists and said.

Xu Yun nodded: "Well, there is courage." Don't say it, Xiaoqian, sometimes, I really envy you. ”

"What, you envy me? What do I have to envy?"

"It's nothing, just do what you want, go and ask the Wu shopkeeper for clarification, haha!" Xu Yun laughed and walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving Hua Qian alone, standing in the courtyard with a blank expression.
