Half a month passed unconsciously, and Murong Jie's wedding date was coming.

In the past half of the year, Murong Jie has been on hunger strike, and she has long been exhausted and skinny, but the master still looks indifferent and unmoved.

Everyone was worried about Murong Jie's body, worried that something would really happen if it went on like this.

After dinner that day, Murong Feng and his second junior brother Murong Kun went to practice together.

"Senior brother, hasn't the second senior sister still eaten?" asked Murong Kun.

Murong Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Alas, the second senior sister is really, why is this so painful. ”

"If you were asked to marry someone like that, would you be willing?" Murong Feng looked at Murong Kun with a look of disdain and said angrily.

"Of course I don't want to, but there is no other way than to follow Master's orders. ”

Murong Feng has always hated cold-blooded people like Murong Kun, and then he was unwilling to go with him, so he quickened his pace.

"Anyway, it's a matter of time, we are all Master's pawns. Murong Kun finally said this coldly.

After practicing, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Murong Feng lay on the bed without the slightest feeling of sleep.

"Anyway, it's a matter of time, we are all Master's pawns. Murong Kun's words echoed in Murong Feng's ears for a long time, making him feel uneasy. Why would the second junior brother say such a thing, he has always been calm, and his words seem to be unfounded, but when he thinks about it carefully, it is quite mysterious. Why did the second junior brother say that it was a matter of time, and why did he say that we are all master's pawns?

Could it be that this second junior brother knows something?

The more Murong Feng thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, and he decided to ask this second junior brother.

Stepping on the moonlight, he came to the second junior brother's room.

"Kun'er, have you fallen asleep?"

"It's Senior Brother, I haven't slept yet, come in. ”

Murong Feng walked into the house.

After seeing Murong Feng come in, Murong Kun hurriedly hid the things in his hand.

Murong Feng didn't see what it was, it seemed to be a small bottle.

"Senior brother, it's so late, do you have something to do with me?"

Murong Feng asked, "Kun'er, what did you hide just now?"

"It's nothing," Murong Kun said slyly.

Seeing that Murong Kun couldn't tell him the truth, Murong Feng didn't pursue it anymore.

"Actually, I didn't have anything to do with you. It's just that what you said to me after dinner just now made me a little confused, so I hereby ask the second junior brother. ”

"Big brother, I don't even remember what I said. Anyway, no matter what I say, senior brother just treat me as gibberish, don't take it seriously. ”

"Second junior brother, as the saying goes, the speaker has no intention of listening. Besides, the second junior brother has always been a cautious person, how could he say something for no reason. ”

Murong Kun didn't speak.

"Second junior brother, why did you just say that it was a matter of time before the second junior sister got married, and why did you say that we are all master's pawns. Second junior brother, do you know something?"

"Senior brother, you think too much, I just said casually, where do you know something. ”

Seeing that Murong Kun refused to speak, Murong Feng refused to give up, and kept asking the bottom of it.

Murong Kun also knew that he couldn't avoid the interrogation of the senior brother, and finally said:

"Well, since Senior Brother wants to know like this, I might as well say it. However, today's matter, only God knows, you know and I know, and Senior Brother can't tell anyone. ”

"It's a deal. ”

Immediately afterwards, Murong Kun glanced at Murong Feng slyly and said strangely:

"You have to promise me one more condition. ”

Murong Kun has always been a mercenary person and has never traded at a loss.

"Well, what conditions, you say. ”

"Did Master give Senior Brother a copy of "Swordsmanship" a few days ago?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Murong Feng asked coldly.

"Senior brother, although my talent is mediocre, my martial arts and spells naturally can't be compared with you, senior brother, and the master has always ignored me, although we are both senior brothers in the same sect, but the master will only give you any good things. However, since I was a child, I knew that the stupid bird should fly first, although I am not as smart as the senior brother, but I also want to read the book "Swordsmanship", so that I will not be too far behind the senior brother. Senior brother, you won't mind, will you?" said Murong Kun with a wicked smile on his face.

Seeing the sky before, the master gave Murong Feng a copy of "Swordsmanship", saying that he wanted Murong Feng to practice hard and not tell others.

But I don't know how the second junior brother found out, and I want him to show it to himself. Murong Feng hated this villain who took advantage of people's danger very much from the bottom of his heart, but in order to know the secret behind the whole thing, Murong Feng had to agree.

Murong Kun was suspicious by nature, and he was worried that his senior brother would go back on his word, so he asked to give the book to him immediately. Murong Feng had no choice but to take the book from the room and give it to Murong Kun.

Looking at the "Swordsmanship" in his hand, which he had longed for for a long time, Murong Kun smiled greedily, and then spoke.

"Actually, I don't understand why in the past few days, Master has always been going to Zangwu Mountain, and the first time he brought the eldest senior sister there, and the second time he took the second senior sister there. What makes me even more puzzled is why as soon as I came back the second time, the master engaged the second junior sister to a marriage, all of which seemed to be arranged. ”

In fact, Murong Kun's confusion has always been Murong Feng's confusion.

Murong Kun continued: "Later, I inquired in many ways. It doesn't matter if you don't ask, it really scares me to death when you ask. It turned out that the second junior sister was going to marry Zhang Heng, who was Zhang Yuanzhi's only son. And this Zhang Yuanzhi is none other than one of the largest families on Zangwu Mountain. He has a solid family background and strong martial arts, but it is a pity that he gave birth to a son who is not angry, he is lazy and does all kinds of evil, and he has always been notorious, so no one has been willing to marry him. ”

After a pause, Murong Kun continued: "Later, seeing that his sons were in their thirties, Master Zhang suddenly became anxious, so he promised that whoever could marry his daughter would give the Zhang family's heirloom, that is, a martial arts secret book. ”

"Are you saying that the master married the second junior sister just for that martial arts secret book?" Murong Feng said in surprise.

"Of course, that martial arts cheats book is a priceless treasure, and everyone is hanging three feet. Later, people kept coming to the door to propose, but this Zhang Heng was an out-and-out womanizer, and he was never interested in people who were not beauties, so after the master learned the news, he started to think about it. ”

"No wonder Master is so resolute this time, the two junior sisters have been on hunger strike for half a month, and Master is still unmoved. It turned out that I wanted that martial arts cheats. How can Master be like this. ”

"Master has always been a ruthless person, haven't you seen it after all these years?" Murong Kun continued: "I heard these things from a subordinate of the Zhang family. Originally, the master took the senior sister first, this Zhang Heng naturally couldn't put it down, and even heard that he also used his hands and feet on the senior sister, but Zhang Yuanzhi was a very superstitious person, he counted the eight characters of the two people, and found that they didn't match, so he rejected the master. However, the temptation of that martial arts cheats book is too great, how can the master give up, so the master brought the second junior sister over again, this time the result of the eight characters is very good, Zhang Heng is also greedy for the beauty of the second junior sister, so this family affair is settled. ”

"That's how it was. Murong Feng's heart suddenly shook. Wan'er escaped this catastrophe this time, but who can guarantee that Wan'er will not follow in Jie'er's footsteps in the future?

"Master is such a ruthless person, it seems that she adopted us, but in the end, it is for her own sake, she has always used us as pawns. ”

Looking at Murong Feng's frightened eyes, Murong Kun whispered again:

"Senior brother, have you ever thought that there are so many outcasts and orphans in the world, why did Master choose the five of us?"

Looking at Murong Kun's cunning eyes, Murong Feng was speechless for a while.

"After so many years, I still vividly remember the scene when Master adopted me at that time. At the time, I was only six years old, and I was adopted by the owner of a pharmacy without parents. Because I have an amazing sense of smell and am proficient in pharmacology, the owner of the pharmacy has always paid attention to me and asked me to give people medicine to treat diseases at a young age. Over time, I became a living sign of this pharmacy. ”

Murong Kun continued: "Later, one day, Master came to this pharmacy and saw that I was so peculiar, so he planned to take me away, but the owner of the pharmacy said that he would not say anything, so Master spent a lot of money to buy me. At first, I thought that Master saw that I was an orphan and took me back to raise me with kindness. But then I found out that this was not the case at all. At that time, at the pharmacy, I had a good playmate, a boy who was a year younger than me, named Ping'er, and we were both orphans who had depended on each other since childhood. However, unlike me, this Ping'er is just an ordinary child, who does not have a sensitive sense of smell like me, and is not proficient in pharmacology, so the owner of the pharmacy asked him to do some chores, and he also took care of him, which was completely different from me. But I like this Ping'er from the bottom of my heart, so I often save the good food and food that the boss gave me to Ping'er. ”

"What happened later?" asked Murong Feng.

"Later, when Master came, she wanted to take me away, and I thought she was a kind-hearted person, so I begged her to take Ping'er away, and Ping'er was naturally willing to be with me. But the master did not agree. Later, I said to the master that if Ping'er didn't leave, then I wouldn't leave either, and the master had no choice, so he spent a little more money and bought Ping'er back. ”

Murong Kun paused, and then said, "I'm very happy with Ping'er, and that night, we stayed at the inn together. Before going to bed, Master ordered a lot of delicious food, and I was very happy with Ping'er, and then I fell asleep beautifully. However, when I woke up, I found that I was the only one sleeping on the bed, and Ping'er was nowhere to be seen. ”

I hurriedly ran to ask Master, but Master said that Ping'er left last night and said that he was not willing to go back to the mountain with Master. However, I categorically did not believe Master's words, Ping'er has always regarded me as an elder brother, and he could not do without me, so how could he take the initiative to ask to leave? I cried and said that I wanted to find Ping'er, but Master did not think so, and just like that, I was led up the mountain crying all the way. ”

"Later, I realized that Ping'er was driven away by the master. The reason why Master bought me was because I had special abilities, and Ping'er was just an ordinary person, so Master naturally wouldn't like Ping'er. For so many years, I always dreamed of Ping'er, who was still the same as when he was five years old, crying and calling my brother to save him. Speaking of this, Murong Kun, who was also iron-faced, couldn't help but redden.

Murong Feng didn't know what to say.

"Later, I came to the mountains, and as I grew older, I finally understood. Master seems to have raised me, but in fact, he is all for the purpose of arranging troops in the future. Senior brother, if you think about it, there are five of us, and each of us is useful to Master. The senior sister and the second junior sister are both beautiful embryos, and they will not worry about being used by the master to marry others in the future, and they will never exchange the benefits that the master wants, the senior brother, you have excellent arm strength, you are a malleable talent, and I am proficient in pharmacology, for the master, we are all their pawns. ”

At this moment, Murong Kun seemed to think of something, and then said, "Senior brother, you have never felt strange about the illness of the little junior sister?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Eighteen years, since the little sister was a swaddling baby, the master has been treating the little sister, but after so many years, the little sister's illness has not improved, but the little sister's health is getting worse and worse. However, it stands to reason that Master has been treating the little junior sister every month for so many years, and it should have taken a lot of vitality and strength, but the master's body has not received the slightest damage. Master is not a selfless person, and it is impossible for her to hurt herself for the sake of her little junior sister regardless of compensation. I've always felt that there must be a secret in this. ”

Murong Kun's words made Murong Feng fall into a contemplation that he had never felt before.

These words were all true, and Murong Feng couldn't find a place to refute them. Being analyzed by Murong Kun like this, Murong Feng also had doubts about his master that he had never had before.

At this moment, all the questions were hovering in Murong Feng's mind, what kind of person was Zhang Yuanzhi, would the master really betray the second junior sister for the martial arts cheats, did the master really have plans for the five of them, why did the little junior sister's illness not improve in the past eighteen years, and what kind of secret was there.

However, these questions, in Murong Feng's opinion at this moment, are not the most important, at the moment, the most important question is whether the senior sister will also be used as a pawn like this in the future, and what should she do in order to avoid such a thing from happening.

Murong Feng walked straight to the master's room, although he knew that it was already late at night, although he knew that the master must have fallen asleep at this moment, but he couldn't wait for a moment.

He wants to ask the master to agree to marry Wan'er to him.
