a ruthless swordsman

43.

Half of that crispy chicken ended up in my stomach.

Jiang Yuan briefly told me a lot, and I nodded while listening.

Oh I see.

Jiang Yuan's father spent a long time as a boy on Cuifeng Mountain decades ago, but he has never been a teacher.

The master passed away before I came into the world. According to my father, he only had two disciples in his life. My father inherited the position of suzerain, and that little master uncle was haunted and traveled all the year round. I've only seen him twice in the past year.

I get it roughly.

On Cuifeng Mountain, there are also many disciples who came alone for my father. After the fourth senior brother burned incense to worship a master, my father has not accepted a disciple for nearly ten years.

Some people saw it clearly from the very beginning, and worshiped under the disciples of other masters and uncles. Although they were not direct disciples and grandchildren of their masters, they were somehow related.

But there are also some strong-willed people who have been registered disciples for several years and are still waiting for the suzerain's opportunity to accept disciples.

Jiang Yuan's father was probably in the same state of mind as some of the brothers on Cuifeng Mountain now.

When he was a teenager, he and my father were the best friends. They practiced swords and sparred together when they were awake, and talked happily while lying in the bamboo forest when they were drunk.

Even if you are still in admiration of the master, one day your original persistence will be obliterated by endless perseverance.Uncle Jiang finally left Cuifeng Mountain, married a wife and had children, and never came back.

Therefore, I have never heard of this person from my father.

Jiang Yuan said that he will be 23 next month, so my father and this old friend have not seen each other for more than 20 years.

I said: "Brother Jiang, why don't you come to Cuifeng Mountain with your uncle and aunt to stay for a while after the Qunhao meeting is over."

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "He passed away more than ten years ago."

I was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say, so I could only put my palm on the back of his broad hand, comforting him nondescriptly.

44.

It just so happened that on the day we first moved into Lingxiao Villa, Xie Ling insisted on sharing a wing with me, and now a room is vacant.It should be my father's intention to let Jiang Yuan live in.

"Chang Shaoxia..."

I have heard the word Shaoxia a lot, and I also felt a little shameful of being unworthy of virtue, so I waved my hands and said: "My parents and senior brothers usually call me Xiaochu, Brother Jiang, since your two families have such a relationship, That's what you call me."

"Okay," Jiang Yuan paused, "Brother Xiaochu."

... let's go.

45.

There was no suspense in the competition in the evening, the third senior brother went back and forth several times to seal the victory, I mixed in the crowd and applauded vigorously, which made Xie Ling mutter again.

During the day, they are still tense, but at night they are peaceful.Jiang Yuan and the disciples of the Sword Sect stood together, naturally attracting countless prying eyes.

But my father took it calmly, bluntly said that today when he ran into the son of the old man, he wanted to have a few drinks, and declined the invitation of others with a smile.

The sandalwood Eight Immortals table was filled with all kinds of dishes. Uncle Qin was considerate and specially set up a separate dining hall. The room was full of his own family members. mixed emotions.

After more than [-] years of separation, the old man has passed away. By chance, he meets the only blood of his old friend left behind in this world. I want to know how complicated his mood is at this time.

I was extremely silent during this meal, Xie Ling was like me, but the third senior brother said a few more words for the first time, which made my father very happy.

In the foggy night, my father put down his wine glass and gradually covered the emotions in his eyes, "It's getting late, flying geese, you can take your junior brother back to rest."

and many more.

He called the third senior brother?

"Ling'er, you stay first."

I get it.

He definitely wanted to explain a few more words to Xie Ling.

I understood, got up quickly, and pulled the third senior brother back out.

The dining hall is not far from Nanke Academy, and only two senior brothers and I were walking slowly in the bluestone path. The third senior brother suddenly asked: "Little junior brother, did you lose your purse in Cangzhou, did Young Master Jiang pick it up?" ?”

"Yeah." Thinking about it again, I still feel that it was fate, "Brother, you also think it's a coincidence, don't you?"

"En." The third senior brother rolled out such a word from his throat.

The yard was close at hand, and the lanterns under the eaves reflected a corner of light. I bounced around to avoid the flowers and plants on the roadside, but the third senior brother suddenly stopped in my tracks.

"What's the matter, brother?"

"Hush."

I was silent when I heard the words, although I didn't know why, but subconsciously, I didn't dare to breathe out, and snuggled up to the third senior brother.

"Sound of swords."

My mother was invited to accompany the female family members of the Qin family, and the other senior brothers heard that there is nothing to do tonight, so they all have their own arrangements. It stands to reason that the courtyard should be empty at this time.

"Senior brother," I turned my head, and I remembered the beam where Xie Ling took me to hide the night before, and whispered the location to the third senior brother, "I don't know who is in there, let's go and hide there first."

The third senior brother thought for a while, put one hand around me, and stepped up to the place where the two courtyards connected.

Just now, the front feet were set sideways on the edge of the eaves, and the unbearable insults mixed with the clash of weapons poured into my ears.

In addition to the clichéd words such as "animal" and "villain", there are even some obscene words that I have never heard of.

I raised my eyes to look at the third senior brother, his face was not very good-looking, and he silently stretched out his hands to cover my ears.

And the person who was scolded seemed to be in distress, and after a long time of patience, he finally spoke out.

"Have you scolded enough? You and I are strangers, and I have never met a girl named Cheng. If you keep pestering me, I will report it to the teacher and let the heroes of the world judge the authenticity!"

The warm palm could not completely separate the hoarse voice, I was stunned when I heard it, and I mouthed to Senior Brother San: "Senior Brother Lin?"

Among the disciples who followed my father to Lingxiao Mountain Villa this time, the oldest one was named Lin Qing. His sword skills were mediocre, but he had a good tongue, so he was quite popular among his brothers.

The person who cursed before said angrily: "Don't even think about it! Xiaoruo already has bones and blood in her belly, and her bones are weak. If you want to expose this matter to the world, what kind of heart do you want?"

"This jade pendant is indeed belonging to your Ruthless Sword Sect, and your name is engraved on it. The surname is Lin, and you still want to deny it!"

Senior Brother Lin Qing spoke eagerly: "I only found out that the jade pendant was missing when I was packing today. I must have lost it on the way. It is definitely not a token of love in your mouth!"

The clear and crisp sound of drawing the sword out of its scabbard came out again, these few words made me feel dazed, and when I suddenly heard the sound of the sword in a trance, I trembled in shock.

The third brother immediately embraced me and taught me to sit firmly in front of him.

I came back to my senses and grabbed his cuff tightly.

The quarreling sounded non-stop, and the man was clearly suppressing the pain in his chest to argue with Senior Brother Lin Qing, the more he spoke, the more grief and indignation became, and in the end he was tinged with a trace of humility.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but Xiao Ruo is having a bad time right now... It's not difficult to find an excuse to postpone returning to Cuifeng Mountain. Don't tell me you don't even want to see her?"

Brother Lin Qing said coldly: "I have never heard of this matter. It is completely one-sided by you alone. How can I go to Cangzhou with you?"

I can still distinguish the sound of the sword, the man seems to be using a knife, he propped up the heavy long knife, staggered on his feet, and made an unpleasant creaking sound on the ground.

"I left the banquet early today. I came here to explain about Xiao Ruo, but I didn't want to see you sneaking into other people's rooms. I am not a member of your heartless sword sect. Naturally, I don't know what these rooms are all about." Who lives there. If you want to steal something belonging to the leader of the alliance, you must never dare. The left is only the wing room of Li Shaoxia or Xie Shaoxia. If you don’t explain clearly the dirty things you did to Xiao Ruo, I will tell you about those two. a junior."

"I heard that Xie Si's temper is notoriously violent, if I teach him to know..."

It turned out that Xie Ling's nickname in Jianghu was Xie Si...

"shut up!"

Senior Brother Lin Qing yelled, and pointed his sword at the man's neck.

Although the two of them collided with swords and swords before, even I could see that this time it was the real action.

In other words, he was indeed caught doing something wrong by others.

The third senior brother casually picked up a stone, cut through the cold air around him, and threw it towards the wing room where senior brother Lin Qing lived.

"Who!"

The third senior brother didn't use much force, but he never thought that there were other people in the courtyard, so he must have shuddered immediately.

I raised my hand to stop the third senior brother, pressed my voice into a line, and imitated the wild cat that appeared and disappeared on Cuifeng Mountain, howling.

The door kicked open from the inside to the outside, and the strong smell of alcohol poured into the entire courtyard. The man was drunk, but now he couldn't think clearly, so he gritted his teeth and cursed a few words, then fled the Nanke courtyard stumbled , almost stumbled.

Lin Qing didn't chase him, but rushed out of the courtyard immediately, and looked around.

The wild cat couldn't be found, and he couldn't even find me and the third senior brother, so he had to return to the room with lingering fear.

46.

My head is a little messed up.

Even though the third senior brother has taken me out of the courtyard at this moment, and found a nearby gazebo to sit down and calm down, I still look dull and stupid.

Taking a step back, what the drunk man said earlier was all nonsense, but senior brother Lin Qing acquiesced to what he said about breaking into the room later, why is that?

What's more, if you ask yourself, if a big man pours out his anger in such a tone, if he directly asserts that it is a lie, it would be too cold and heartless.

But Lin Qing is a disciple of Jianzong, and he has a good relationship with all the senior brothers, saying that he made a heartless act, I...

"Senior brother," I lost my mind, turned my face to the third senior brother, picked up the last thing and said, "Why do you think Lin senior brother committed the theft?"

I really don't understand this.

The most valuable thing in the third brother's room is probably the Tai Su sword on his back.

Xie Ling lives in the same room as me. As far as I know, he has always adhered to the principle of enjoying himself in time, and he probably doesn't care about money.

The third senior brother was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

Just as I was about to sigh, his clear voice sounded again: "What happened just now... I've heard about it before."

I:"?"

"What's going on?" I hurriedly went around to the third senior brother and asked.
