Deputy head

14

The founding ceremony of the Bronze Sect is approaching, and the scene inside and outside the Bronze Sect is full of joy. For the disciples of the Bronze Sect, this is an important festival second only to the New Year. As long as the festival is still celebrated, the Bronze Sect will still be prosperous. Those who are worthy can also get double rewards. The most important thing is that all the disciples of the sect reunite. Except for those who stay behind in the branch, all other branch members from all over the world will rush over at this time. This gathering every year is a good time to contact and ventilate. .

No, the disciples of Shiguangtang came back with news, saying that there were strange rumors in Jianghu recently, that the former royal family had left a huge amount of gold and silver, and where it was hidden, only the Bronze Sect knew.

Liu Sizhang stood up when he heard the news, and looked at the disciple forcefully: "Who are you listening to?"

The man was frightened and trembled: "I heard it in the restaurant. When I heard it, the news had already spread, and I couldn't find out who spread it."

Liu Sizhang clenched his fists, and I pulled him, and he calmed down, but his eyebrows were still tight. I told the disciple to back down, and pushed Liu Sizhang back to his seat: "Why are you so excited? , Don’t I know if the Bronze Sect has any money? It’s just been a little richer in the past two years, but a few years ago, I wished I could break one coin into two flowers, and bring gold and silver treasures?”

My words had no effect, Liu Sizhang's expression became more serious, and his hand had already subconsciously put on the guard of his saber, which was a small gesture when he was full of hostility: "But this rumor is clearly aimed at Those sent by the Bronze Sect, if things go on like this, it is hard to guarantee that the Bronze Sect will not be targeted."

He was right.There are also rumors about Huai Bi's guilt. Even if the Bronze School is poor and white, this rumor is groundless, but if it spreads for a long time and more people listen to it, the rumor will change and become a fact.At that time, there will be many people who want to crush the Bronze Sect.

It is impossible for the rumor to have no origin. Who would fabricate this incident and target the Bronze Sect so much?

It is not difficult to guess the source of the rumors, after all, the Bronze Sect does have enemies.The death of the old master and mistress many years ago was actually something else strange, but I couldn't find any evidence, and the severely injured Bronze Sect couldn't fight back, so I could only endure it together with a few insiders.

Apparently, Liu Sizhang, one of the insiders, also thought of this, and said, "It must be because the other side can't see that the Bronze Sect is growing stronger, so they use this kind of dirty trick."

I nodded: "I'll report to the sect master first. As for the investigation... Now that the grand ceremony is approaching, it's better to stabilize the hearts of everyone in the sect. It's not too late to do a detailed investigation after the grand ceremony. Now... I can only ask you to do it first." Check it out."

"Okay. However, don't be impulsive when things happen to you. I'll talk about it when I come back." Liu Sizhang got the task, and told him worriedly. After saying that, he flew away immediately. I looked at his figure and let out a long breath.

After learning about the rumors, Wang Xi also deeply felt that this matter was a trouble, but the big ceremony is just around the corner, if he mobilizes all his disciples to quell the rumors at this time, it seems that there is no silver 300 taels here, as if confirming the rumors, it is really not good OK.

Seeing that Wang Xi was a little embarrassed, I immediately said the method I thought of when I walked this way: "We can only survive the grand ceremony first, and then send some clever disciples to spread other rumors, saying that there are treasure maps locked in other sects. Although this method is not popular, it is wonderful that the two conflicts. There are a lot of treasure legends popping up all of a sudden, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the fake. Ordinary people will naturally only regard it as a rumor, and it will not happen that everyone is only staring at a bronze school The situation will be able to solve the disaster of rumors."

Wang Xi was obviously taken aback, probably he didn't expect me to be so cunning now.

It is true that the righteous knights of the Jianghu generally would not think of such a thief method, but I am not a knight, I am the deputy head, the head is responsible for Guangfeng Jiyue's fame in the world, and I am in charge of careful planning and secret planning.

"Ah Yi, isn't it too risky to entrust this matter to the disciples below? If the news leaks out..." Wang Xi hesitated, "The suspicion of the Bronze Sect will be even heavier, and if they make a mistake, everyone in the world will have a reason to target us .”

"If you're worried, I'll do it myself." I patted the shoulder of the person in front of me, showing a reliable smile, "When I was young, in order to avoid the scapegoat you threw at me, I was very good at lying."

Hearing this, Wang Xi's face blushed, and he couldn't hold back his smile: "I was not sensible at that time, I was just... just..." For some reason, he stumbled. The bright light came in through the window sills, and the stammering Wang Xi was not at all like the usual heroic young man who was full of words and deeds, but rather a reckless and fledgling chivalrous boy, but it was still very good-looking. Dejun is taking advantage of it.

"Okay, let's go to the grand ceremony. It's time, you, the leader, have to go." I slapped him on the back again, urging him to hurry up and prepare for the grand ceremony. Unexpectedly, this person stopped me my sleeve.

"go together."

It was only three words, but I felt my heart was plucked suddenly, and then I remembered something that I had forgotten in recent days-I used to like this person in front of me, but I was still willing to be a cow and a horse, there is no cure like.

[-]

The grand ceremony started in the evening. According to the theory, the gun salute should be fired first, and then the master's speech should be held, followed by the ceremony of worshiping the ancestors, and then the ceremony of singing and dancing. Come and see the fun.

I am not interested in fireworks now, only in the precious Huaerjie roast duck.

In fact, Sister Hua's roast duck is also a must. It is a pity that she was born at an untimely time and left early, leaving behind her two younger sisters.The Second Sister Hua has inherited her skills, but only during the holidays, the Second Sister Hua is willing to cook roast duck. This is a good food that can’t be eaten even during the holidays. It’s rare that the head of the family came back this year to support the appearance, so I don’t need to sit on the top seat The higher-ups pretended to be indifferent to many delicacies, so it was natural to stuff roast duck into their stomachs while everyone was waiting to watch the fireworks.

Unfortunately, just as I put the duck wings into my mouth, a slender hand stretched out and pulled the duck wings out of my mouth.

"The mud is dry and the ink is running!" I stared at Wang Xi, who somehow got closer, and thought to myself that I just spoke in the afternoon, what else can happen, don't delay me from eating roast duck.

Wang Xi brought his index finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence. No matter how I reacted, he insisted on pulling me to leave the banquet. what's up?Besides, my kung fu is not as good as his. If he insists on pulling me, even if he beats me, I can't beat him. I can only wrap the roasted duck in lotus leaves temporarily, and leave with him with the roasted duck in my arms.

"You! Why are you still holding this?" After walking a long way, he looked back at me and saw the roast duck in my arms.

"You still come to ask me?" I was furious, "I eat well, what are you bringing me here for?"

I guess I didn't expect me to be so confident, Wang Cui opened his eyes for a long time, then turned his eyes away from the roasted duck with great effort, a little annoyed: "Forget it, if you want to hug it, you can hug it."

I broke off a piece of duck breast and gave it to him: "What else do you need from me?"

Quite unexpectedly, Wang Xi honestly took the duck and ate it: "...I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

"According to the precious experience I have accumulated in this life, it's okay if you come to me for something, but if you come to me for nothing, you must be doing something messy again. In order not to be tricked by you, then I will go back first..."

"Wait!" Wang Xi snatched the roast duck from my arms, "If you go back now, then I will order Second Sister Hua not to make you roast duck again."

... All these kinds of words came out, I don't know what Wang Xi wants to do, although this threat has no deterrent effect on me, let's see what Wang Xi wants to do.

Seeing that I was honest, Wang Xi sighed helplessly, wrapped the roasted duck more tightly with lotus leaves, flicked the hem of his clothes, and sat down on the steps of the ancestral hall very naturally, and patted the seat beside him, It looked like he was motioning for me to sit down.The obedience engraved in my bones made me subconsciously obey Wang Xi's arrangement, and I was still sitting where he took the picture. After realizing my own actions without assertiveness, I couldn't help but gritted my teeth bitterly.

Habits are really scary, but they are just small habits from childhood. I tried to change them, and after so many years of using them, I still can't change them... It's all Wuxi's fault!

Wang Xi smiled suddenly, and stuffed the roast duck back to me: "You forgot? You were the one who discovered this place."

I paused for a moment, and my mood suddenly became very delicate.I remember what he said. It was when I was in my teens, and it was the stage when half-children were interested in everything in the world. I liked roast duck, fireworks, and Wangxi.Because of the youthful and brilliant thoughts of joy in my heart, I ran all over the whole Bronze School, and finally found such a place where no one had a good view, and I was waiting for the grand ceremony to be held, and invited Wang Xi to come with me Check out the fireworks here.

It's a pity that I was very stupid at that time, I only thought about how to find a place, but I forgot that the young master of the Bronze Sect can't run around casually, not to mention that I have never seen anything, and I am not very interested in fireworks.Even if you want to watch the fireworks, you don't have to go to the secluded ancestral hall and squeeze with the book boys.Wang Xi was coaxed and tricked into bringing me here, but he only took a quick glance before leaving again, coming and going like the wind.I could only dig out the sweet duck leg soup I had hidden, and gnaw on the duck leg while watching the fireworks. When I choked, I ate the sweet soup, and somehow fell asleep. Unfortunately, I caught a cold and had a fever for two days. .

Thinking about it now, it's a good age to be carefree, even the thoughts are beautiful to the point of being annoying.However, the only thing I miss in it is my own youthful time. The part about Wuxi is not a good memory.

"When I was young, I was afraid of my father's discipline, and I didn't dare to run out for too long. Now I can finally make my own decisions, but the feeling is different from before." Wang Xi said these words as if no one was around, and even broke off a duck leg.For a moment, I couldn't figure out what he meant. Could it be that there was something difficult to say, so I made love first?But our relationship is still quite close, it stands to reason that we don't need to use this kind of trick...

Just when I was thinking wildly, he said another sentence. Although there was nothing wrong with this sentence, it made me feel a little uncomfortable:

"I used to...in fact, I really wanted to come here to watch the fireworks with you."

"I know." I interrupted him loudly, and then both of them stopped talking, only a few insects could be heard.

It would be great if I could say this to my past self.If he had said that at that time, even if he didn't come here with me at all, then I would be very happy, and the memory of watching fireworks alone would be perfect and sweet.Listening to this now can only send chills down my tailbone.If it’s true that I have no more love, it’s fine, but unfortunately, the tenderness and affection of the young boy’s heart have been exhausted, and the fertile soil in my heart has become barren. I can no longer feel elated because of this, I can only feel a sudden jump in my heart, and then return to upset again.

I looked down at my hand, which was resting on top of it.

The times are different, he used to be very clean, but now he doesn't dislike dirty, obviously my hands are full of oil.

[-]

On the third day after the ceremony, Liu Sizhang came back with the collected information.

"The source can't be found, only a tall gray-haired woman spread this statement. It is said that her long hair reaches her ankles and her voice is a bit strange."

When I heard this description, I was a little surprised: "This... do you think of anyone?"

Hearing this, Liu Sizhang raised his eyebrows and looked at me.

"Mr. Wang."

He and I both spoke in unison.

Mr. Wang is my common master with Liu Sizhang. His appearance is too handsome and delicate, and his hair is extremely long. If Uncle Bi doesn't comb his hair, he will go out with disheveled hair, so he is often misunderstood as a woman.He once taught us for a while, and some people thought that Mr. Wang and I were mother and son, but unfortunately, we suffered a sudden disaster, and we were separated from Mr. Wang.

"Mr. Kewang..." Thinking of the past, I paused, "I saw him pass away with Uncle Bi, it has been nearly ten years, how is that possible?"

Liu Sizhang was thoughtful: "Mr. Wang is a man of few words and has no relatives, and he also died to protect us. Even if Mr. Wang is still alive, he would not do such a thing."

I nodded and said, "But from this point of view, the person who spread the rumors probably also knew Mr. Wang, maybe he was an insider who was living outside... Maybe this person is from Huayumen."

Thinking about the unforeseen misfortune of the old head and the mistress, it is inseparable from the Huayumen.

Huayumen has always had a grudge against the Bronze Sect. It is said that the founders of the two sects were originally brothers, but because of enmity they separated the two families. event.It wasn't until the generation of the old master that there were no feuds.It's just that after that incident, the Bronze Sect declined, and the Huayu Sect was unable to take advantage of the victory to pursue it due to various reasons. This is how the two factions coexist today.

There is a saying that goes well, when weeds are cut, we must get rid of the roots, otherwise we will surely give birth to grass that blows and regenerates like me.

As soon as the word "informed person" came out, Liu Sizhang's face immediately changed, and everything he thought in his heart was written on his face.

"Shut down your expression of wanting to kill someone."

I suddenly reached out and blocked his nostrils. Liu Sizhang was unguarded against me. He didn't expect that I would make this sudden movement, and he didn't hide. Instead, he held his breath. The face is puzzled.

I immediately let go of my hand and comforted me: "Many years have passed since that incident, and many things are different from before. You don't have to fight head-on, I have my own way."

Liu Sizhang stared at me for a while, and I also looked at him with a smile. His momentum weakened a little, but he still looked at me for a while, then sighed briefly, and said, "It's better if you are stupid. , I always feel uneasy."

"It's too stupid to worry about, just like Liu Sisi, you can't spoil her so much in the future." I looked towards the direction of the back mountain, Liu Sisi sang well, became famous after the grand ceremony, and now she can be regarded as a little red of the bronze school people.

Thinking of the messy affair with my blind date before, Liu Sizhang knew he was wrong, rubbed the corner of his clothes subconsciously, and answered me in a low voice.

The author has something to say: I looked at the summary I wrote and laughed happily...
