Run the rivers and lakes

The mountains in the mountains are blended into the shadows, the stars are dense, and the vegetation is quiet.When the people in the village returned home after a day's work, the lights they lit were like rows of lights lit up in the dark night.

Xu Wudao said that he specially set up a dinner party for Wei Shuxing and his group. He said it was a dinner party, that is to say, he prepared a lot of good wine and food, and everyone drank and ate together, and there were no extra activities.

The meal was almost finished, and the bearded man who was called Xiaosun came in from outside the house, whispered a few words in Xu Wudao's ear, Xu Wudao's face suddenly sank, Xiaosun finished his report, bowed his head and backed away left.

Wei Shuxing looked up and saw Xu Wudao's expression was not good, he hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Xu Qian... Uncle Xu, but is there any bad news?"

Xu Wudao came back to his senses, glanced at Wei Shuxing, sighed a little, supported the case with both hands, and reluctantly eased his expression: "It's not a big deal, it's just the killer in white from before. The brothers who are doing business should pay more attention in the city."

"But you found it?" Liu Yunsheng, sitting beside Wei Shuxing, asked quickly when he heard their conversation.

Xu Wudao nodded and said, "Someone saw him enter the Yu Mansion."

Wei Shuxing was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Where is the Yu Mansion?"

The others noticed that they were talking about something serious, so they turned their heads and looked at Xu Wudao with doubts.Xu Wudao smiled helplessly, and said: "Alright, I should let you understand the situation, after all, you were also chased and killed by Wufangtang."

Xu Wudao said calmly: "The owner of the Yu Mansion, Yu Yigu, is the captain of Yijie appointed by the imperial court. He is in Zhangzhou, and he is here to suppress bandits."

"Yu Yigu?" Gu Feiyu sat up straight with a face full of surprise, "The cicada's wings are the most important, Yu Yigu, isn't he from the Jianghu? And he is just like Senior Xu and you because of the same swordsmanship and style." But they are very different, it can be said that it is just the opposite, so you are always mentioned together..."

"Everyone has his own aspirations. After all, I have competed with him for decades, and this time is not bad." Xu Wudao still had a compassionate and relieved expression, not at all like a bandit who sharpened his sword all day long. .

His eyes fell on Wei Shuxing, "What I want to tell you more is that someone helped him, and the person who helped him was sent by Wufangtang, and it was their young hall master, Wang Xunfeng's son, Wang Junyu."

Everyone's expressions changed.Liu Yunsheng looked sideways at Wei Shuxing, and reminded him in a low voice, "In the eyes of that person, aren't you the enemy who killed his sister?"

Wei Shuxing's face was gloomy and he fell silent.

"The entire Zhangzhou city is their territory. If you can't get out for now, stay with me first. I will fight Yu Yigu anyway..." Xu Wudao's eyes seemed to be ignited without sadness or joy. There was a cluster of raging fire, and then gradually extinguished, "At that time, you can escape according to the situation."

The sky was high and far away, Yu Yigu stood in front of the window, looked at the sky full of stars, turned around and put his hands on the table, staring at the map of Zhangzhou on the table in a daze.The light illuminated his clear side face, and the marks of years climbed up his forehead. His beard and hair were white, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright and sharp, like a knife ready to be unsheathed at any time.

Wang Junyu stepped on the heels of his soft leather boots, pushed the door straight in, and the wind shook the oil lamp for a few moments.Fu Yuan and Qiu Xiaoba followed one after the other, and after entering the house, they both clasped their fists and saluted: "Master Yu."

Yu Yigu waved his hand and said kindly: "You two protectors, you are welcome."

Wang Junyu noticed the map laid out on the table, tapped the red pen mark in the middle with his finger, and said, "Uncle Yu, is this the place where those bandits are hiding?"

Yu Yigu nodded, pointed to the map, and explained: "This is a mountainous area in the outskirts of Zhangzhou, called Zhangshan. There is a small valley in it, where Xu Wudao's village was built. There are high mountains on both sides, and the lake in the other direction, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we want to enter the mountain, we can only divide into teams and sneak in from a small mountain road on the east side."

Fu Yuan carefully looked at the map, and pointed to a road on the map: "Is this an official road in front of Zhangshan?"

Wang Junyu put his elbow on Fu Yuan's shoulder, looked in the direction of Fu Yuan's finger, and replied: "Yes, from Zhangzhou to the west, this is the only convenient way, and those bastards are specially nested in it." People are being robbed there, with a bit of luck, how many people who transported the goods can survive.”

Fu Yuan supported his elbow, carefully moved his shoulder out, then pulled Qiu Xiaoba beside him to his position, moved aside to let out a sigh of relief, and rubbed his shoulder again.

Wang Junyu suddenly felt that the raised elbow was a little shorter, and he turned his head and looked at Qiu Xiaoba, speechless.After a long time, he glared at Fu Yuan, and muttered: "White-eyed wolf, I'm not familiar with it."

Qiu Xiaoba who was caught in the middle: "..."

Fu Yuan pretended not to hear, and continued to discuss serious matters with Yu Yigu: "How many masters are there on the mountain?"

Yu Yigu stroked his beard: "There are several Jianghu masters who follow Xu Wudao, and Xu Wudao is a top master. If I don't go there in person, I won't be able to settle him."

"And..." For some reason, Yu Yigu hesitated, and then slowly said, "My eyeliner came to report that several people entered the mountain. According to the description of their characteristics, they should be Wei Shuxing and his party."

Fu Yuan didn't know why Yu Yigu was hesitant, so he could only follow his lead and ask: "Master Yu thinks they will stay on the mountain to help Xu Wudao?"

"I know Xu Wudao a little bit. Wei Bumian once saved his life, and he will repay his kindness. Now that Wei Shuxing and the others obviously can't leave the city, Xu Wudao will definitely keep them here." Yu Yi paused. Dun, "As for whether Wei Shuxing and the others will help Xu Wudao, I don't know, but we have to plan according to the most troublesome situation, that is to say, they have a few more masters on the mountain."

Wang Junyu listened, rubbed Qiu Xiaoba's hair, and shouted jokingly: "Hey, I heard that you seemed to have fought against Wei Shuxing when you were in Jinling. How is it? Did you manage to fight?"

Qiu Xiaoba struggled in his heart for a while, and affirmed with some guilty conscience: "I can beat..."

Wang Junyu laughed, and pushed Qiu Xiaoba's shoulder: "Come on, just rely on your inaccurate arrows?"

"Uncle Yu, I think you can ask the two of them to take the team over to investigate the situation before making a decision. You may be able to catch a few people back." Wang Junyu also looked at Yu Yigu with a relaxed look, Serious suggestions were made.

Yu Yigu looked a little unnatural, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's time, I'll discuss it with the two guardians."

Fu Yuan looked at Wang Junyu, and felt something was wrong.If Wang Junyu heard about Jinling, how could he be as happy and relaxed as before, wondering, looking back at Shangyu Yigu who seemed to be sighing.

Fu Yuan suddenly understood, and couldn't help but feel tight: Yu Yigu didn't tell Wang Junyu about Wang Qingyue's death!

Although I don't know why Yu Yigu hid it from Wang Junyu, maybe it was because he couldn't bear it, but it is impossible to hide this matter forever.Fu Yuan knew Wang Junyu's feelings for his sister, if he knew the truth, he would neither know nor want to think about any changes.Thinking about this, he instantly felt dizzy.

Fu Yuan glanced at Qiu Xiaoba as if asking for help, but found that Qiu Xiaoba was completely unconscious!

At this moment, Protector You felt lonely, pitiful and helpless.

The wind blows through the mountains and forests, flapping the forest leaves like waves rolling by.

Xu Wudao stood in front of the high-rise fence, felt someone coming behind him, did not turn around, just continued to look down at the cottage in front of him, and said: "Xiaowei, is there something wrong?"

Holding the sword, Wei Shuxing stood behind him and said, "How does Uncle Xu know it's me?"

Xu Wudao just turned around, resting his elbows on the railing, looking very relaxed: "You should have something to ask me."

Wei Shuxing was seen through, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He lowered his eyes and nodded: "I do have doubts in my heart, I'm afraid it would be a bit abrupt to ask directly."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Wudao's eyes softened, and he stared at him, "Ask, others may be abrupt, but you won't. I have a great kindness, and I haven't repaid it yet."

Wei Shu walked up, holding a sword in one hand and supporting Zhu Lan with the other, looked at a piece of cottage below, tilted his head and asked, "These houses are all lived by your brothers?"

Xu Wudao also turned around, and the railing replied: "That's right, some little brothers have already married. The terrain here is good, there are fields and water, so we simply built a cottage."

The light of the stars shone down, and Wei Shuxing's eyes shone slightly: "Uncle Xu, are you going to take them to hide in the mountains all the time and become bandits?"

"Since I chose this path at the beginning, I will not turn back now. If Yu Yigu brings people in, even if I die in battle, I don't want to surrender." Xu Wudao sighed, "But their lives are their own. Yes, if anyone in this village wants to leave, I will not stop them."

"In the past few days, my thoughts have been quite chaotic. I can't figure out a lot of things." Wei Shuxing narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned, "I didn't understand why a top expert would choose to escape when he could escape. Self-declaration, even today I don’t understand why a master of the rivers and lakes chooses to be a bandit and hide in a place where the world doesn’t see him.”

Xu Wudao listened, pondered for a moment, and said: "The expert you are talking about, is Elder Yang Bugu from Qinglan Villa 20 years ago?"

Wei Shuxing was slightly surprised, but still nodded.

"Heh." Xu Wudao smiled wryly, "Xiao Wei, some things are one thing on the surface, but another thing in reality. The world is complicated, but sometimes, the happiest people are those who can't figure it out. , If you don’t know it yourself, you don’t need to know it.”

Wei Shuxing shook his head, and said sincerely: "If Uncle Xu knows the answer, please tell me, and you won't be troubled by doubts in the future."

Xu Wudao was silent for a while, nodded, exhaled, and slowly said: "20 years ago, Wufangtang destroyed the family of Qinglan Villa. On the surface, it seemed that it was a struggle between the Jianghu, but it was not the case. The destruction of the family by Qinglan Villa was God's will. "

"The so-called God's will means that there is a high-ranking person who volleys above all living beings, naming them by name, hoping that Yang Bugu will die, and that Qinglan Villa will disappear."

Wei Shuxing suddenly understood everything, what Xu Wudao said hit his heart like a thunderbolt, making him shocked.

"The reason may be that Qinglan Villa made a friend. This friend did not belong to the Jianghu, and he left the world one step earlier than them. He was executed on the majestic city wall of the capital."

"I don't know what crime this friend has committed, but he must have committed it." Xu Wudao smiled sarcastically, and said something strange, "There is justice in the world, how can you execute a person who has no crime? ?”

"However, the elimination of Qinglan Villa cannot be done by them, it has to be done by the Jianghu people themselves. Therefore, Wang Xunfeng's newly built Wufang Hall was willing to use it as a knife. Otherwise, what about relying on Wufang Hall alone? It can beat this villa that has been established for more than a hundred years."

"Elder Yang Bugu knows that he will not die, they can't give up, they will only consume more manpower and material resources, and then there will be troubles in rebirth, so they will choose to commit suicide."

After listening carefully, Wei Shuxing said, "Uncle Xu, you know so much, do you have an old friend from Qinglan Villa?"

Xu Wudao was noncommittal, but kept silent.

Wei Shuxing sighed heavily, and said, "I know everything, I know why Uncle Xu chose to become a bandit."

"The [-] disciples of Qinglan Villa turned into ashes overnight." Xu Wudao looked up, and the vast stars fell into his eyes without showing emotion, "No matter what height you have reached, what magical powers you have, Sometimes, in front of certain things, there is no way to go, humble as a grain of sand."

"But..." Wei Shuxing hesitated, but he still said firmly, "Those people you robbed and killed had no parents, no siblings, no married couple, and there are people who are still worried about them. After hearing the tragic news, There are also people laying out offerings and pouring wine, weeping and robbing the earth, but what are they to blame for?"

Xu Wudao's face darkened, and he said: "In this world, not everyone is like your father, who has everyone in his heart. As long as he can survive, most people will not care about other people's lives."

He paused, and said: "I am one of the majority of people. And I treat you well only because Hero Wei saved me. I have to repay this kindness to his son, not because I have kindhearted."

Wei Shuxing let out a breath, and said slowly, "I understand, I'm bothering you so much, this junior will leave first."

"Don't become like your father." When Wei Shuxing went out, Xu Wudao said suddenly behind him.

Wei Shuxing was stunned, nodded and went out.

When Wei Shuxing left, Xu Wudao continued to lean against the fence, stroked his beard, and said coldly, "Come out, he has already left."

The air froze for a few seconds, Luo Cheng lazily folded his arms, and suddenly appeared beside the wall, with the broken hair on his forehead brushed down, his expression unrecognizable.

"I'll give you a little time to explain and decide whether you can live." Xu Wudao rubbed his knuckles, and the atmosphere suddenly became dangerous and tense.

Luo Cheng raised his head, and suddenly showed a gentle smile: "Okay."

The author has something to say:

Fu Yuan: Qiu Xiaoba's well-deserved title was paid for by Uncle Ye. Anyone can laugh at it

Qiu Xiaoba: No? ? ?I just hide my strength?
