20. The fire breaks the withered branches, the ancestral hall is warm, the cold face is shallow, the smile is shallow, and the green silk is long

"Whew-huh-" Wu Chengfang, who was originally unconscious, was woken up by a few extremely loud snoring. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When she opened her eyes, she saw Hua Qian sitting next to her dozing off.

Wu Chengfang still felt cold all over his body, so he wrapped the object on his body tightly. After she wrapped it, she realized that it was Hua Qian's coat that was covering her.

Hua Qian heard a sound, so he woke up, smashed it and said, "Well, are you awake?"

Wu Chengfang also said "um", and closed his eyes again.

"Ah, I fell asleep again, and it was so uncomfortable to sit and sleep, it made my neck hurt. Hua Qian patted the back of his neck and said with a smile. Seeing that Wu Chengfang was silent, he said to himself: "You fainted just now, so I brought you to this ancestral hall to let you rest for a while." Oops, you don't know how cold your body is, it's like falling into an ice hole. When I was a kid, I was playing on the ice and accidentally fell into an ice hole. Ah, the water is cold and cold, not to mention how uncomfortable it feels to soak in it. What's even more terrifying is that the cold water kept pouring into my nose, and I thought I was going to die. ”

Wu Chengfang was weak because of the true qi in her body, and she wanted to close her eyes and recuperate for a while, but Hua Qian kept rambling beside her, which made her unable to calm her nerves, so she opened her eyes and glared at Hua Qian and said, "Then why didn't you drown in the river?"

Hua Qian didn't hear the impatience in Wu Chengfang's words, and then said: "Fortunately, Brother Yun was also there at the time, and it took him a lot of effort to drag me up and save my life." ”

Wu Chengfang turned his back to Hua Qian and said, "It's that Brother Yun again, he hasn't done anything good." As soon as she remembered that Xu Yun had escaped from Yishui Pavilion with Yelu Longqing, she was so angry that she didn't even feel cold.

"Who said that, Brother Yun is a good person. Hua Qian said.

"Good people, will good people go to save the Khitans?" asked Wu Chengfang.

"This ...... He must have a reason for doing so. Maybe he couldn't get used to seeing you bullying too much, so he rescued that Yelu Longqing. Although Hua Qian didn't know why Xu Yun went to save the Khitan prince, he still wanted to defend Xu Yun a few words.

"This reason, the devil believes. Wu Chengfang said, "By the way, who are the few people around Yelu Longqing except Hua Yongfu?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen them. Hua Qian yawned and said, "If you ask me, it's equivalent to vain talking, and I'm not familiar with you so-called martial arts people." ”

"Don't you recognize them? Aren't they from your Washington?" Wu Chengfang thought in his heart that the Hua family was secretly colluding with Yelu Longqing, so he recognized the three of the scholars who were holding the fan as people from Washington.

"Absolutely not, how can there be so many strange people in our Washington?" replied Hua Qian.

Wu Chengfang didn't ask Hua Qian again, but recalled the martial arts routines of the fan scholar and others, and muttered to himself: "These people are strong in martial arts, and their moves are strange, I can't tell which sect they are......"

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Hua Qian couldn't hear what Wu Chengfang was muttering in a low voice, so he asked loudly.

Wu Chengfang was unwell, and Hua Qian suddenly raised her voice to speak, which made her feel upset, so she turned around and said sharply at Hua Qian: "I didn't talk to you!"

Hua Qian saw that Wu Chengfang was suddenly angry at himself for no reason, and his heart was awkward, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Ahh

Wu Chengfang returned the coat wrapped around his body to Hua Qian and said, "Put it on, don't freeze out anything." The eldest son of the Daimyo Hua family is sick, and I can't afford this crime. ”

"I have a lot of flesh on my body, I'm not afraid of the cold, it's fine. Hua Qian took the coat handed over by Wu Chengfang, but put it back on Wu Chengfang's body.

Wu Chengfang didn't expect Hua Qian to do this, and a hot current was inexplicably born in her heart, and she suddenly felt that her body was much warmer, but she still said with a cold face: "Can't you just make a fire, so that both of us can be warmer." ”

"Yes, yes, you have a point, I'll pick up some dry firewood. Hua Qian patted his head and got up.

"Hey, you put on your clothes first!" Wu Chengfang shouted, but Hua Qian had already rushed out of the ancestral hall.

"This idiot!" Wu Chengfang scolded in his heart.

After a while, Hua Qian came back with a large bundle of branches. He piled the branches beside Wu Chengfang and said, "Quick, light the fire." ”

Wu Chengfang looked at Hua Qian in surprise and asked, "Don't you have a fire excerpt?"

"No, why am I carrying that thing?" Hua Qian sucked the snot that was about to come out and said slowly.

Wu Chengfang glanced at Hua Qian, took out the fire fold in his arms, handed it to Hua Qian, and said, "Take it!"

Hua Qian looked at the fire fold in his hand curiously, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you also want to use this thing to light the fire, I thought that if you rub it with your hands, this pile of branches will be fine." ”

Wu Chengfang couldn't help but laugh when he heard Hua Qian's words: "Do you think I am an immortal, and you can also use immortal arts." ”

It was the first time Hua Qian saw Wu Chengfang laughing so closely, although it was only for a moment, it also made him a little flustered: "Ah...... Yes...... Don't you know how to do immortal arts? The cold air emitted by your hands can freeze people half to death, isn't it immortal arts? ”

Wu Chengfang said: "This is not an immortal technique, but an internal skill practiced by people who practice martial arts. Light the fire, and we'll be warmer. ”

Hua Qian let out an "um", stared at the fire fold in his hand for a long time, and suddenly said, "This thing...... How do you use it?"

Wu Chengfang supported the ground with one hand, barely sat up, looked at Hua Qian helplessly and said, "What a rich boy, he can't even use the fire fold." After she lit the fire, she put on Hua Qian's coat and sat up straight against the wall and said, "If a person like you walks around the rivers and lakes, he will have to go home in three days. ”

"So I don't go around the rivers and lakes, it's good to read books at home. Hua Qian laughed.

Wu Chengfang sat by the fire, his body warmed up quickly, and his mood was much better. She looked at Hua Qian's stupid look, shook her head and said, "I now completely believe that you have nothing to do with Yelu Longqing, do you want to know the reason?"

"Why?"

"Because you're such an idiot. That Yelu Longqing is also a Khitan prince, he will not be stupid enough to have a private relationship with a nerd. ”

Hua Qian was belittled by Wu Chengfang again for no reason, and he was very unconvinced, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find any suitable reason to refute her, so he had to change the topic and said: "The reason why you fainted just now is that you were eaten by some cold true qi in your body, as Brother Quan Chengkong said?"

Wu Chengfang knew that what Hua Qian said was true, but he didn't want to admit it, so he looked down at the flickering flames and said: "What's the matter with you, you don't know martial arts, and you don't understand what I tell you." ”

Hua Qian scratched his ears and smiled: "I don't know martial arts, but I understand the principle of yin and yang of this Taoism." I listened to what the whole brother said, the kung fu you practice seems to be specialized in the yin vein, so you will practice a supreme yin true qi. I think if you can specialize in the Yang veins such as the Du Mai, the Three Yang of the Feet, and the Three Yang of the Hands, you may be able to cultivate a Yang True Qi in your body. When the time comes, the two true qi of yin and yang will be fused and the balance of yin and yang will be achieved, and maybe your cold body will be cured. ”

Wu Chengfang had never thought about what Hua Qian said, and after listening to this remark, he felt that there was indeed some truth. But she thought about it, the reason why she practiced the Cold Jade Divine Skill was to be able to practice the Han Jade True Qi that was the most yin and cold. What if you really follow Hua Qian's method and practice the Yang True Qi, and the two True Qi fuse and cancel each other out? Then won't all your hard work over the years come to naught? So he said: "You are too whimsical, practicing martial arts is not as easy as you think, this method will not work." ”

Hua Qian faintly guessed what Wu Chengfang was thinking, so he said, "I think you are afraid that your cold true qi will be eliminated, so you say that this method will not work." Brother Yun once told me that practicing martial arts can strengthen your body, but the kung fu you practice is eroding your body. In my opinion, this kind of kung fu that is harmful to people should not be practiced, and it is better to give up as soon as possible. ”

Wu Chengfang sneered: "It turns out that you, like the stinky boy surnamed Quan, also think that the Hanyu Divine Skill I practiced is an evil martial art. ”

Hua Qian shook his head and said, "I don't understand what is the main door and the evil sect." I just think it would be better for you if you didn't practice. ”

"Hmph, be nice to me? You don't know me, how do you know what's good for me and what's bad for me?" Wu Chengfang said in a weird way.

Hua Qian remembered that Su Qiaoqiao called Wu Chengfang "leader", and now when he heard Wu Chengfang's words, he was suspicious in his heart, and hesitated for a while before saying: "You ......" Wu Chengfang saw that Hua Qian wanted to speak and stopped, so he said: "Say whatever you want." Hua Qian nodded: "You are not just the master of Yishui Pavilion, are you still the leader of some gang?"

Wu Chengfang untied his belt, and his long black hair fell down. She said while arranging her messy long hair: "What kind of helper, I'm just an ordinary businessman who has a blood feud with the Khitans." ”

"It's hard to ...... No wonder you want to kill...... Kill Yelu Longqing. You say you're just a businessman, but ...... But why did Qiaoqiao call you...... Do you want to call you 'Chief'?" Hua Qian looked at the ball of green silk on Wu Chengfang's shoulder, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and even his tongue became unfavorable.

Wu Chengfang didn't have an idea of Hua Qian's abnormality, so she used a hairband to tie her long hair again, and said indifferently: "It's just a title, is it worth it for you to dig into the roots?" She pointed to the fire and said to Hua Qian: "You go and collect some dry firewood, this little dry branch is not enough to burn all night." I'm tired, so I'll rest first. ”

Although Hua Qian still had doubts in his heart, when he saw Wu Chengfang lying down, he didn't dare to disturb her, and obediently went out to find dry firewood.

Wu Chengfang heard Hua Qian go out, then turned over again, looking at the burning flames, it was very difficult to calm down in his heart.

In fact, she is the leader of the secret sect "Flower in the Mirror" in Hebei, and everyone who works in Yishui Pavilion is also Wu Chengfang's fellow disciples. The flower in the mirror is responsible for assassinating the Khitans, so most of them recruit some children of relatives who were killed by the Khitan army to join the gang, like Wu Chengfang and Su Qiaoqiao, who were raised by the flowers in the mirror after becoming orphans due to the war when they were young.

Wu Chengfang because of his hard work and ability, he soon became the leader of the younger generation in the door, and before the previous leader died, he was entrusted with an important task and became the new leader of Jingzhonghua. Since taking over the affairs of Menzhong, she has planned many assassination plans, and successfully assassinated several Khitan generals and Wenchen, without any misses. Today, however, the plan to assassinate Yelu Longqing has failed.

Xu Yun's sudden appearance was certainly one of the reasons for the failure of the plan, but Wu Chengfang knew that this one person alone was not enough to cause the failure of the plan, and the constraints of the beggar gang were an important reason for Yelu Longqing to escape.

A few days ago, Wu Chengfang had learned that Yelu Longqing would come to Yishui Pavilion to have fun, and informed Song Lai, the leader of the beggar gang, of the news, and asked him to work together to deal with this Khitan prince who was killing all sides on the battlefield. At that time, Song Lai was full of promises, expressing his willingness to fully cooperate and kill Yelu Longqing.

What Wu Chengfang didn't expect was that although there were a lot of beggar gang disciples who came to Yishui Pavilion tonight, only the three beggars from Hebei were really masters, and Song Lai, who was the head of the beggar gang disciples of the Daimyo's Mansion, never showed up.

Wu Chengfang thought that Song Lai was entangled in important matters, so he couldn't go to the appointment on time, until Hua Qian mentioned the word "helper" just now, she suddenly figured out that this Song Lai was playing his own little abacus: after the death of the former beggar gang advocate Dahu, Song Lai and Zou Ku of Zhending Mansion refused to give in to each other and competed for the position of helper. If Song Lai could take advantage of today's opportunity to kill Yelu Longqing alone, he would inevitably become the new leader of the beggar gang, so he couldn't let Yelu Longqing die in Yishui Pavilion no matter what. Because in that case, the credit will be shared by Wu Chengfang and Song Lai, and he can't show his Song Lai's ability, so he didn't let all the good guys come to Yishui Pavilion to help Wu Chengfang.

"Presumably at this moment, Yelu Longqing should have been surrounded by the beggar gang outside the city. Wu Chengfang thought to himself, "Then I can only congratulate Gang Leader Song." ”

Suddenly, she thought of Su Qiaoqiao again, and thought of the woman who grew up with her.

"I just want to live a peaceful life for a few days now. Su Qiaoqiao said.

"After all, you still haven't been able to escape the all-empty stalker, and go to live a peaceful life with him. Maybe you can easily let go of your hatred, but I can't, because I am the leader of the flowers in the mirror, and because revenge against the Khitans is all I have in life. ”

"You are a good assassin in terms of skill alone, but your heart is still too gentle, so you will choose to live gently. Wu Chengfang thought like this, and seemed to find a trace of comfort in his heart, so he closed his eyes again.

"You have betrayed your oath, but I forgive you. ”

When Hua Qian came back from collecting firewood, Wu Chengfang was already asleep. Hua Qian looked at her long eyelashes, and couldn't help but take a closer look, almost sleepless all night.

At noon on the second day, when Hua Qian woke up, he found that he was wearing his own coat, but Wu Chengfang had disappeared. He remembered that Wu Chengfang had said that he was going to go to his house to complain to his grandfather, so he hurriedly got up and hurried back to the Washington Palace.

After asking the servant, Hua Qian learned that no one had come to look for Hua Taigong, so he went to look for Xu Yun again, wanting to ask him what had happened after he left Yishui Pavilion last night.

But he searched in the yard for a long time, but he didn't find Xu Yun. It just so happened that he saw the Mao Mouse coming out of the house with a baked cake in his mouth, so he asked, "Mao Mouse, have you seen Brother Yun?"

Mao Mouse looked dazed: "No, didn't Young Master Yun come back with you?"

"No, why hasn't he come back yet?" Hua Qian's heart couldn't help but worry about Xu Yun's safety.

"Young Master Yun's martial arts are so good, what can happen. The Mao mouse ate the baked cake and said nonchalantly.

"I hope so......" Hua Qian said suspiciously.
