Still pity the grass and trees

The three of them didn't stop until they walked to the bamboo forest behind the west courtyard.Xie Wufeng saw a trace of regret on Huang Chip's face. This old gentleman obviously had doubts about his character, but because of Ji Tanyin's "like" sentence, he gave him a little green eyes, so he would look him up and down with his hands behind his back.

Ji Tanyin asked: "Uncle Huang, what's the matter?"

Compared to his anxiety, Huang Chip seemed preoccupied and hesitant.After a while, he said: "Tan'er, do you know where your master is?"

Ji Tanyin shook his head: "I still want to ask you."

Huang Cho looked at him seriously: "The current rumors in the Jianghu are very unfavorable to him."

Ji Tanyin said sadly: "I know."

"You don't know," Huang Cho said in a more serious tone, "The mysterious person who killed Master Yubai and seriously injured Ming Biaohua has been identified in the martial arts as Brother Ji. Once your master shows up again, he will become the target of public criticism, even some Worrying about life."

Ji Tanyin was puzzled: "Isn't it good for my master to explain clearly to everyone? Besides, they have no evidence!"

His innocence made Huang Cho show a wry smile: "Why is there no evidence? Didn't Ming Biaohua admit that he was injured by Ji Heng? Didn't the nuns of the Hengshan sect see their master die under the Yushan sword technique? At present, unless Caught a mysterious master pretending to be your master, and confronted the two of them. It is almost impossible to clear the suspicion of Brother Ji. You have seen the martial arts of that person, and it is not easy to catch him! What's more, the battle for the head of the Hengshan School is fierce. Taking revenge for Mrs. Yubai is the most powerful thing. They don’t care about the truth? They all say that Brother Ji killed him, so it’s just to collect debts from Brother Ji, and the big deal is to say ‘I made a mistake’ in the future.”

After hearing his words, Ji Tanyin felt cold sweat and veins twitching.He knew there were rumors spreading outside, and because he was afraid that he would be angry and could not help hurting others, he had been nestling in the yard for the past few days, unaware of the situation that was about to explode in Jianghu.

At this moment, is it better for Master to show up, or is it better not to show up?Ji Tanyin was momentarily confused.

"You asked me what I was doing in Sichuan this morning. Let me tell you clearly. I went to investigate a case 20 years ago. Have you ever heard of Tangjiabao?"

Ji Tanyin had some vague impressions, and Xie Wufeng reminded: "It was a big gang 20 years ago. Wang Suansu mentioned it when he was in Shen Pei's residence."

Ji Tanyin hesitated and said, "But that unsolved case without a head? What did you say that the castle master and his wife died strangely overnight, and then the gang disbanded."

Huang Chip nodded slightly. He looked at Ji Tanyin with sad and serious eyes. At first Ji Tanyin didn't understand and thought he had something strange on his face. Then he felt a little vague fear and moved his lips unconsciously.

At this time, Huang Chou let out a long breath: "I suspect that Tang Lianwei and his wife were killed by Brother Ji."

Ji Tanyin denied it almost reflexively: "Impossible!"

Huang Chi looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "This is just my guess, but if the two of them were really killed by Brother Ji, there must be something else going on. The man behind the blaming Brother Ji is most likely related to the old case back then. , so I'm going to check it out myself."

Ji Tanyin couldn't speak, the three souls and seven souls seemed to be fighting, and his mind was in a mess.He habitually looked at Xie Wufeng, hoping for some support.

Xie Wufeng approached, held his hand, and squeezed it hard.His eyes were calm and resolute, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, giving Ji Tanyin a comforting arc.

Ji Tanyin stabilized his mind and asked, "Uncle Huang, why did you think of the old Tangjiabao case?"

"Because this game is so well done, it seems to be the result of many years of preparation. I have carefully investigated your master's enemies, and no one has such great ability. That day, I heard someone talking about the case of Tang Lianwei and his wife, and I suddenly remembered Your master happened to be walking in Sichuan at that time, so he was suspicious."

"But Master has always acted in an open and aboveboard way. If he really killed Master Tang and his wife, why didn't he admit it? Could it be that..."

What he didn't say was tacit among the three present.

Ji Tanyin felt a sore nose, and he suddenly realized how little he knew about Master.In the small world of Wenling Peak, Ji Heng is a loving father, a strict teacher, and a generation of heroes who are famous all over the world. After going down the mountain, everything he heard and witnessed has enriched his image, allowing Ji Tanyin to imagine him. The demeanor of walking with a sword back then also dragged him off the shimmering golden altar.

Huang Chou said: "I found it strange that your master suddenly retired back then. I asked many times, and he only said that he was tired and wanted to live a normal life with your teacher's wife. Now that I think about it, it might be related to the old Tangjiabao case."

Ji Tanyin sensitively caught the flaw and retorted anxiously: "However, Master Tang and his wife were killed 20 years ago, and my master retired 15 years ago."

This is also where Huang Chi is puzzled, but as long as he finds out the truth about the murder of Tang Baozhu and his wife, most of this problem will be solved.

Ji Tanyin was worried and wanted to go to Sichuan with him, but Huang Tiao sternly refused, comforting him that if everything goes well, he can return to Xiangyang in about ten days. He asked Ji Tanyin to stay in Xiongtu Escort, in case the devil brought people to loot, Can help protect one or two.

Ji Tanyin curled her lips: "Where can I be used? Uncle Li was recruiting troops earlier, and I heard that there was a conflict with Xuandaomen at the weapon shop yesterday."

"It's always better to be prepared. Those people are unparalleled in their wits, their martial arts are superb, and they are good at using poison. You see, Xiyan Villa and Hengshan School are both great sects, but they ended up like this."

Ji Tanyin asked: "Uncle Huang, do you really think it wasn't the Xifan sect who did it? But they speak Soda, and some people saw the tattoos on their shoulders!"

Huang Chiu said: "There have been conflicts between the Central Plains Wulin and the Xifan Sect, but there has not been a large-scale conflict for decades. This year, the Xifan Sect suddenly invaded on a large scale, which is not normal. As for the Soda language and tattoos, as long as you have the heart, you can always It can imitate [-]% to [-]%."

There was a commotion in the front yard, it was Li Chengyang who was looking for them and the banquet was about to start.Huang Chou told Ji Tanyin not to tell the Li family and his son his purpose of going to Sichuan, Ji Tanyin asked, "Why? Do you doubt them?"

Huang Chip waved his hand: "No." But he didn't explain anymore.

The lunch atmosphere was very strange, Ji Tanyin and Xie Wufeng were sitting together, opposite Li Chengyang with a tiger face.Ji Tanyin bathed in senior brother's regretful eyes, lowered his head and tried his best to cook rice, Xie Wufeng was calm, put a piece of fish belly meat into his bowl, and raised his eyebrows provocatively at Li Chengyang.

Li Conning and Huang Cho chatted and poured wine, turning a blind eye to the turbulent undercurrent between the three juniors.

Ji Tanyin put the fish into his mouth, chewed it twice before swallowing it, but the kitchen was negligent today, he didn't pick out the fish bones, and he ate anxiously, a sharp thorn stuck in his throat.

Huang Chiu was the first to see it, and hurriedly greeted: "Hurry up and get the vinegar!"

Before the words finished, two plates were handed to Ji Tanyin.Ji Tanyin raised his head, Xie Wufeng on the left, and Li Chengyang on the opposite, both looked at him meaningfully and threateningly.Ji Tanyin's throat hurts, and a thin layer of tears smoked from his eyes, flowing to one side and then to the other, he couldn't laugh or cry at the behavior of these two childish ghosts.

In the end, he took the plate from Li Chengyang's hand, drank the balsamic vinegar in one gulp, and at the same time stomped Xie Wufeng under the table.

Li Chengyang caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, and felt very happy in his heart. He felt that the younger brother was quite sensible, and the shock he received because of the "like" a few hours ago was also relieved a lot.He pressed the corners of his upturned mouth, and served Ji Tanyin with vegetables, and picked a fat crab for him.

Xie Wufeng was still indifferent, he ate very little, drank a lot, and sat there silently, showing no emotion.Ji Tanyin soon began to worry, and unconsciously tried to flatter him, scratching his palm lightly with her fingertips, until she saw Xie Wufeng showing a slight smile before she felt relieved.

Li Chengyang struck while the iron was hot, and that night he ordered his servants to tidy up a bedroom in the small building where he lived, and then ordered Ji Tanyin to live in it.He reflected on himself, thinking that he had been busy with the affairs of the bodyguard bureau a few days ago and had neglected his younger brother, so he deliberately made up for it, and took Ji Tanyin to talk at night by candlelight.

Ji Tanyin knew that his drunkard's intentions were not in drinking, and now that there was a lot of turmoil in the world, and his master was missing, he avoided discussing sensitive topics, so only the inexplicable intimate relationship between him and Xie Wufeng was available for comment.Li Chengyang knocked sideways, his tone was sometimes sad and sometimes passionate, after all, he still told Ji Tanyin and Xie Wufeng to end it as soon as possible.

Ji Tanyin listened meekly, sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed, hugging her knees and curling up into a ball.Li Chengyang's long speeches were not completely untouched by him. When he heard the word "death", he suddenly felt desolate. The pride of a young man did not allow him to show weakness, but in front of his senior brother, it seemed that there was no harm in saying: "It's okay if you want to be broken." He broke with me, senior brother, all the threads are in his hands."

Li Chengyang's heart trembled, he saw a stubborn and sad face under the oil lamp, and suddenly realized that Ji Tanyin had grown up, and he was no longer the innocent and carefree boy on Wenling Peak.The Jianghu has honed him, and Xie Wufeng is also a part of the Jianghu.

Li Chengyang was so emotional that he was speechless for a while, but Ji Tanyin smiled nonchalantly, and joked with him: "Brother, you can only talk big words, and I don't think you understand the word love!"

Early the next morning, Huang Chip set off for Sichuan.A group of people sent to the Changting Pavilion outside Xiangyang City, and said goodbye.Before leaving, Huang Cho suddenly called Xie Wufeng to his side and whispered a few words.

"What did Uncle Huang say?" Ji Tanyin was curious, and wanted to find out. Before he took two steps, someone grabbed his collar. Li Chengyang reprimanded him with a dark face: "Join the fun all day long."

In the next few days, Ji Tanyin's life was extremely difficult, and Li Chengyang stayed with him every step of the way, preventing him from having a chance to get in touch with Xie Wufeng.The seats of the two of them at the banquet were also arranged far away, and occasionally their eyes met, before they could give a wry smile, they were blocked by Li Chengyang.

In the silent night, Ji Tanyin lay on the soft bed, without any sleepiness.He took out two huanghuali wood tokens from his pocket, looked at them under the moonlight for a while, and put them away again without a clue.He turned over, grabbed the tassel by the pillow, and sighed heavily.

Early in the morning, Ji Tanyin felt a little drowsy, and was called up by Li Chengyang to practice his sword. He was so stuffy in his heart, he was rude and refused to talk, so he raised his sword and stabbed. Li Chengyang was very surprised: "You It’s so powerful! Was it Master’s instruction?”

Ji Tanyin didn't expect that he could suppress Li Chengyang in momentum as soon as he made a move, and shook his head blankly.

Li Chengyang was still thinking of teasing his junior brother, but now he didn't dare to be careless, he recited the sword formula silently in his heart, slightly bent his left knee, and slowly changed the footwork of his right foot, and said to Ji Tanyin: "Come again!"

Once he was serious, Ji Tanyin felt strenuous and had no choice but to resist.In the stalemate, he suddenly recalled the scene of fighting swords with Xie Wufengyue, and tried to change the move that should have been a horizontal slash in Yushan swordsmanship into an oblique stab at the left flank.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengyang's continuous sword moves suddenly became chaotic, full of loopholes.Ji Tanyin didn't have time to think deeply, and moved almost instinctively. The Yushan sword technique seemed to have undergone thousands of changes in his hands, but everything was unified, with the same charm.

With a sound of "clang", Li Chengyang was hit by Yingxue sword on his right wrist, he let go of the pain, and the long sword fell to the ground.Dazed by the silver light of the sword, he looked at Ji Tanyin in surprise, confusion and embarrassment.

Ji Tanyin's heart was pounding, and his whole face was flushed because of fever and sweating.This situation also surprised him, among the three brothers, Li Chengyang's swordsmanship is the most superb, he never thought that he would have the day to defeat him.

Shouts of applause broke the strange silence.Xie Wufeng did not know when he came to the gate of the small courtyard, leaning on a green bamboo tree, looking at Ji Tanyin with a smile.

"Junior brother's swordsmanship has improved rapidly," Li Chengyang came back to his senses, and praised while concealing his disappointment, "You can pass on the mantle of master."

Ji Tanyin hurriedly said: "It's clear that the senior brother let me do it on purpose, and today's luck, I won by half a move."

Li Chengyang coughed, picked up the saber: "I'll go into the room and change clothes, mother and younger brother are coming back today."

Before his figure disappeared, Xie Wufeng couldn't help laughing, and then received Ji Tanyin's eyes of condemnation.He made a strange expression of pursing his lips, hooked his finger at Ji Tanyin, and signaled him to come over.

Ji Tanyin walked up to him slowly, and was hugged by Xie Wufeng.His black eyes turned left and right, his chin rubbed against the other's shoulder as if away from him, his face jumped with joy, but his tone was reluctant: "What are you doing, the sky is bright and white."

Xie Wufeng let out a deep laugh, suddenly lifted Ji Tanyin off the ground, and pecked lightly on his lips.
