I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Because Ouyang Feng needed to recuperate from his injuries, everyone stayed in the city for another two days, and the convoy set off again in the early morning of the third day.

When they set off, Pei Xiang arranged for Wang Mama and Qiushi to stay in the inn to continue recuperating on the grounds that they had not fully recovered, and left two honest and prudent guards and a sum of money for them.

Ouyang Feng thought that Pei Xiang's heart was soft and simple, and he didn't understand the principles of medicine, so he directly ordered his subordinates to pour out Wang Mama and Qiushi with medicine.

Later, because of the sudden appearance of the flower picker and Hong Qi, Ouyang Feng overturned his previous opinion overnight.

He suddenly realized that the Second Miss of the Pei family, who looked like a weak willow, was actually not weak at all, no matter her heart or means, she could make him look at her differently.Therefore, he naturally did not believe that Pei Xiang could not discover the real cause of Wang Mama and Qiu Shi.

——But... She still chose to let Wang Mama and Qiu Shi continue to "sick", and even pushed people to stay in the inn...

Pei Xiang's choice made Ouyang Feng feel a little puzzled, so when he stopped for a short break on the road, he directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"Miss Pei, why do you want to keep Mama Wang and Qiu Shi?"

Pei Xiang broke off a willow branch and replied with a smile:

"It's the same reason as the second son left them. Although Wang Mama and Qiu Shi treat me sincerely, they are more loyal to the Pei family. If I want to live according to my own wishes in the future, I have to stay away from them, so as not to embarrass each other in the future , Gradually wear away this friendship."

Ouyang Feng's complexion changed slightly:

"Miss Pei means...you asked me about studying medicine at that time...not only to cover up the secret of your proficiency in medicine...but also to lead me to be wary of Mrs. Wang and Qiushi and other servants of the Pei family. Then use my hand to separate them from you?"

Pei Xiang tilted his head to look at Ouyang Feng, his eyes were clear: "Are you angry?"

Then, without waiting for Ouyang Feng's answer, she said confidently:

"Why are you angry? Don't blame me, because most of what I said was the truth. Ms. Wang and Qiu Shi really took care of everything around me, and they have always restrained me according to the old rules of the Pei family. My pocket money and The dowry is in the hands of Wang Mama, and she cannot freely control it. They would rather let me buy jewelry than medical books. Second son, the conversation you heard is true, not fabricated."

Ouyang Feng snorted coldly: "Miss Pei, is she going to argue that after hearing your truth, what kind of thoughts I will have next has nothing to do with you?"

Pei Xiang rounded a pair of charming almond eyes, innocent and surprised:

"Does it have something to do with me? I also barely guessed the second son's plan through the 'sickness' of Wang Mama and Qiu Shi. The second son is a dragon and a phoenix among people, so naturally he has a gully wisdom pearl in his chest. What is he thinking in his heart? How can it be that a boudoir girl like me who doesn't know martial arts can predict the left and right?"

"Why should Miss Pei belittle herself?"

"Second son doesn't have to be a soldier."

"All grass and trees are soldiers? Since it wasn't Miss Pei who deliberately led me to come up with certain ideas..." Ouyang Feng said slightly, "And Miss Pei is so keen and ingenious, so I don't think she will let a few servants manipulate her in the future. That being the case, How about I send guards back to pick up my mother Wang and Qiushi?"

Pei Xiang smiled gently: "Thank you so much for my second brother. I have been taken care of by Mama Wang and Qiushi since I was a child. I am really not used to being away from them for a while. In the future... I will study medicine, poison and pharmacology behind closed doors, and I will take care of you." Your elder brother, you definitely don’t have the extra energy to manage the internal affairs of the central government, so you’ll have to trouble Mama Wang. Compared to the unfamiliar steward of Baituoshan, I still trust Mama Wang, Qiushi and others more.”

Ouyang Feng frowned, looking at Pei Xiang thoughtfully:

"Miss Pei, it's not wise to threaten you like this."

"Does that work?"

Ouyang Feng remained silent, not wanting to admit it.

With a leisurely expression, Pei Xiang casually tied the wicker in his hand:

"I know that the second son is a little confused, such as why I don't want to rely on the Pei family at all; for example, I still trust Wang Mama and Qiu Shi, but I want to send them away; for example, since I have endured for so many years, I am about to Before going to a new place where you are not familiar with, give up your left and right arms... However, as I said before, the second brother can tell your elder brother the doubts he observed along the way, and then ask him to ask me, I will Explain everything clearly."

Ouyang Feng sneered, his face was a little careless, but a feeling of depression suddenly rose in his heart of being excluded.

He looked at the shrewd eyes of the person opposite, and slowly took half a step back.

——Sure enough, we can't let our guard down on this girl.

——She has used him as a shield many times before she met her brother, and she is not shy at all.

——In the future, in the future, if she really wins over her brother with clever words and tricks, wouldn't she really want to walk away in the White Camel Villa?

Seeing that Ouyang Feng was lost in thought with a cold face, Pei Xiang didn't say anything more.

She looked around and found that Biyun's food and tea soup had been heated up, emitting a faint fragrance, her eyes lit up immediately.

The matter of eating was much more attractive than a dry conversation. Pei Xiang smiled tolerantly at Ouyang Feng, and then happily ran towards Biyun, leaving the second young master Ouyang behind.

Ouyang Feng pursed his lips, and stretched out his hand to push the black armored snake back into his sleeve.He had no appetite, but decided to get something to eat.

After setting off this time, the wedding reception team didn't stay anywhere on the road for a long time. They all stayed overnight and rushed towards Kunlun White Camel Mountain.

Finally, before the weather turned cold, they arrived at their destination safely.

Pei Xiang took the Pei family and the dowry to the villa that had been prepared earlier.

Ouyang Feng left most of the guards to protect Pei Xiang, and then he left the rest of his followers and galloped to Baituo Mountain one by one.

A bad premonition faintly rose in his heart.

Earlier, at the intersection of the main road leading to White Camel Mountain, Ouyang Feng didn't see his elder brother Ouyang Zheng personally leading people to greet the Pei family, so he realized that something happened.Based on his understanding of his elder brother, even if he hadn't personally picked up the marriage before, he should show up at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the White Camel Villa, Ouyang Feng noticed that the number of guards in the villa had increased by three layers.

After getting off his horse, Ouyang Feng went straight to the main hall. On the way, the butler rushed out to greet him. Although he was full of smiles, he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.

"Second Young Master, you are back!"

"Director Qu, where's my elder brother?"

"The eldest son is in the study, just took medicine."

These words made Ouyang Feng pause, and he stared at the housekeeper with serious eyes:

"Director Qu, what happened? Since the eldest brother is not away from home, why didn't he meet the Pei family today?"

The housekeeper surnamed Qu smiled wryly, seeing that there was no one around, he said in a low voice:

"Second Young Master, the Eldest Young Master was really seriously injured this time, this time, the doctor in the mansion... oh, you will know when you see the Eldest Young Master. The Eldest Young Master also ordered this morning that the team to welcome the bride should arrive. Tell Second Young Master to look for him in the study as soon as you come back."

"Severely injured?"

"Yes, the eldest son was afraid of leaking the news, so he didn't mention it in the letter..."

Before the butler finished speaking, Ouyang Feng was nowhere in sight.The loyal old man sighed, thinking that the second son's kung fu has improved again, and in the future... he will be able to support the Ouyang family on White Camel Mountain.

Ouyang Feng's figure swayed, he moved and jumped several times, and in a short while he arrived in the small courtyard outside Ouyang Zheng's study.

He intentionally increased the sound of his footsteps, but the people in the room didn't seem to notice that someone was approaching the study until three steps away from the door.

"Is it the second brother? Cough cough, come in."

There was a suppressed coughing sound in the room.

Ouyang Feng pushed the door open and entered:

"Brother, usually when I walk to the middle of the courtyard, you can detect me."

"I just don't want to make a sound so early, let you be proud for a while first."

The young man behind the desk had a pale complexion, light lips, and a pair of deep eyes that were very similar to Ouyang Feng's with a light and friendly smile.

"The second brother went out for a trip, and his martial arts improved again."

Ouyang Feng looked at his elder brother's thinner appearance, and frowned.

He didn't say anything more, but went directly to check Ouyang Zheng's pulse.

Sandalwood scented in the study, warm as spring, but Ouyang Feng's expression became colder and more solemn.

"Brother, before I went out, your body was only a little weaker than ordinary people, and you have also cultivated gentle internal strength. It is not difficult to live through the sixtieth year, why are you seriously injured now, and your foundation has been damaged..."

Having said that, Ouyang Feng closed his eyes, but still calmly pointed out the facts:

"Based on my judgment, your viscera and six viscera are all injured, the poison penetrates into your bones and it is difficult to remove, your tendons are clogged and atrophied, even if there is a panacea to treat it, you will only have three to five years of life left."

Ouyang Zheng has been quietly listening to Ouyang Feng's words, and when he finished speaking, he corrected him lightly:

"Wrong, it's not three to five years of life. The diagnosis given to me by the famous doctor invited by the mansion is that if I think less and rest, I can get about three years from Lord Yan. But if I continue as usual, it will only be one or two years. It's only a year, and it may be even shorter."

"That's a quack doctor!" Ouyang Feng's eyes suddenly darkened, "I'll go find Hua Tuo's master for my brother, and I'll also send people to various countries in the Western Regions to search for strange people. I can always find a way to save my life."

Ouyang Zheng was about to say something, but a cough interrupted him.

Ouyang Feng injected some internal energy into his elder brother's body, but found that Ouyang Zheng's body was exhausted and could not retain the internal energy he input at all.

After a long while, Ouyang Zheng calmed down the itching in his throat a little, endured the dull pain in his chest and persuaded:

"Second brother doesn't have to worry about my body anymore. If possible, I would like to live a few more years for my brother. Cough cough. Since I was injured, I have tried all the remedies I can think of. It's a pity, cough cough cough……"

Ouyang Feng forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, and stopped arguing with his brother about the treatment. He thought that after he left this study, he would naturally try to find a good medicine from a miracle doctor.

"Brother, who is the one who hurt you?"

Ouyang Zheng didn't give an answer directly, but asked:

"Second brother, remember that during the Chinese New Year last year, we brothers drank and had a heart-to-heart talk. I told my brother that I have been planning a secret matter recently, and I already have some clues. If it is successful, the strength of the Ouyang family will definitely be improved, and Brother Wei's health may also improve, and he can start to practice more advanced martial arts."

Ouyang Feng nodded: "Of course I remember, after the weather gets warmer this year, big brother will be busy."

"I couldn't get away because of this incident, and it was hard for my second brother to go to Pei's house in Guizhou." Ouyang Zheng took a sip of herbal tea to suppress his cough, and smiled, "I heard that my second brother and the beggar gang Young gang leader Hong Qi has learned martial arts, so he must have gained something."

Ouyang Feng replied absent-mindedly. How could he be in the mood to talk about what he saw on the road now? He just wanted to know who killed Ouyang Zheng.

After the two brothers talked for a while, Ouyang Zheng lost some energy. He sighed sadly in his heart, and he was no longer in the mood for small talk, so he continued to explain:

"After my second brother set off for Guizhou, I got a piece of news. The news was about the big event I had been planning for a long time. I was afraid that things would change if it was too late, so I took someone out in person, but I didn't expect that this was White Camel Mountain. A trap for the enemy.

"Which one is it?" Ouyang Feng's tone was cold.

"It's the Iron Flame Gun's Huo family and the Eighteenth Chain Village of Aduoling. They bought a close friend of mine and knew what I was looking for, and then used this to lure me into a trap that was set in advance."

Ouyang Feng's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, but he didn't jump up violently. Instead, he patiently waited for Ouyang Zheng to finish speaking.

Seeing this, Ouyang Zheng nodded in relief. His second brother is not only strong in martial arts, but also calm, unlike some simple-minded warriors who have no patience at all.

"Second brother, there is no need to rush to avenge me." Ouyang Zheng still smiled softly, but the content of his words was not gentle at all. "My enemies usually don't live long. I was able to survive at that time, whether it was or not. Being seriously injured, no matter how many guards of Baituo Mountain died, it means that the Huo family and the Shiba Lianhuan Village no longer need to exist. Three days ago, the Huo family's ancestral iron flame gun has become our White Camel Mountain Villa. One of my collections, and Aduo Ridge has become the new site of White Camel Mountain, and I plan to build a new martial arts training ground there."

Speaking of bloody revenge, Ouyang Zheng's eyes became unusually bright and sharp, illuminating his pale and sickly face like a flame.His smile was still graceful and elegant, but it was blended with bloodthirsty cruelty and pleasure.

At this moment, he was surprisingly similar to his brother Ouyang Feng sitting across from him.One is sharp and treacherous, and the other is calm and cold, both of them will get revenge, and they are full of scheming.

Hearing that the enemy had been completely wiped out, Ouyang Feng felt both expected and deeply regretted:

"Brother should wait for me. I also want to try the power of the Huo family's iron flame gun seven-star formation."

Ouyang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Where there is gain, there must be loss. If you hadn't competed with Hong Qi and recuperated for a few days, you could have caught up with the final battle with the Huo family this time."

Ouyang Feng secretly compared it, and found that it was more attractive to learn martial arts with the young leader of the beggar gang, so he stopped thinking about it, and instead asked the deepest doubt in his heart:

"Brother, you have never said what you are planning, can you tell me now?"

"I really plan to tell you the whole story today," Ouyang Zheng said warmly, "I didn't go into details at first, because I was afraid that it would disturb your martial arts practice state of mind, and that after you heard the "Nine Yin Manual", your mind would be restless and you would no longer concentrate. Studying family-inherited martial arts. Instead, he joined the ranks of people in the rivers and lakes who fight each other and calculate day and night, and spend most of their time and energy on finding martial arts secrets, and chase after the last, so that the time is wasted, and the gain outweighs the loss in the end."

""Nine Suns Manual"?" Ouyang Feng's eyes showed curiosity and excitement, "Although I have never heard of the name of this exercise before, it must be extraordinary to make you attach so much importance to it, brother."

The eldest son Ouyang Zheng coughed for a while, took another sip of herbal tea, and then told Ouyang Feng some rumors about Song Huizong's period in the Northern Song Dynasty.Of course, the protagonist must be Huang Chang, the author of "Nine Yin Scriptures".

Ouyang Zheng described in detail the several battles after Huang Chang became a peerless martial artist, listing the opponents he defeated and his powerful enemies.

"Although no one knows the exact content of the "Nine Yin Scriptures", it is worthy of special attention just because it was written by Huang Chang. Huang Chang has no sect, and we later have no chance to meet him. Cultivation techniques. However, his enemies and opponents were all from famous schools, and they were all prominent figures at one time, but they were all defeated by Huang Shang, which shows the high level of martial arts of this person."

After listening to Ouyang Zheng's narration, Ouyang Feng's face burst out with extremely strong longing. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and a pair of eagle eyes stared at his brother:

"Brother, do you have a clue to find the "Nine Yin Manual"?"

Facing his emotionally agitated younger brother, the eldest son Ouyang Zheng sighed slightly, shook his head, and said helplessly:

"The clues I collected before were mostly fake news from the Huo family and Aduoling. After this attack, I sorted out the relevant news again, and found that many of the previous investigations were in the wrong direction. Now, I can only start from Huang Chang's hometown, but there is little hope. Moreover, when I was investigating, I noticed that there are still several forces in the Central Plains who are looking for the "Nine Yin Manual". Whoever has that luck can get there first."

Ouyang Feng let out a long breath with some disappointment, and he repeated his brother's words in his mind again. After a long while, he mused:

"Since everyone is looking for it, then we don't have to worry. In fact, it would be a good thing if someone finds it first. Instead of rummaging in the rivers and lakes like looking for a needle in a haystack, it's better to find the target and snatch it with all your strength."

"I also have the same idea," Ouyang Zheng smiled calmly, "But, this is your business, second brother. I have done my best for my brother, and I have spent most of my life. Brother will no longer spend time searching for the "Nine Yin Scriptures", but will help the Ouyang family to complete the layout of the business routes in the Western Regions, so it can be regarded as the last effort for the Ouyang family."

Ouyang Feng's thoughts were suddenly diverted from the search for martial arts secrets, he stood up abruptly, and persuaded in a deep voice:

"Brother can no longer spend effort on those trifles. Since I have already personally avenged, please rest in peace for the rest of the time, and be less happy and less angry. Brother, I will definitely help you find a miracle doctor and elixir. Wait, wait, wait..."

Ouyang Zheng's attitude is also firm:

"Second brother, since my lifespan is limited, I can't do nothing and die quietly in the end. No matter what day I live to, I don't want to waste my time. What's more, I like to enjoy the excitement and joy brought by success , I like intrigue and deception, and I want to see more people and things, second brother, the life of self-cultivation is not suitable for me."

These words made Ouyang Feng silent. Putting himself in his shoes, he would probably make the same choice as his elder brother.

A little sad, but also a little melancholy, Ouyang Feng couldn't bear to look at his coughing brother any longer, he turned his head slightly to look at the scenery outside the window, for some reason he thought of Pei Xiang who was happily married in Biezhuang.

——She is so eager to be in love with her future husband for a long time, she wants to tell her all the secrets to her future husband, but she has to face the regret of losing her companion...

"Brother, the Pei family's marriage..."

"Ahem, I will find time to talk to Miss Pei and ask her and the Pei family what she thinks. Second brother, if Miss Pei is still willing to marry into the Ouyang family, you... have to respect her in the future and don't let her go. If someone wronged her, don't let her get involved in the turmoil."

Ouyang Feng nodded slowly and solemnly, his expression complicated and difficult to distinguish.
