Chapter 071 – Owing Sword on the Great Snow Ping
The light in the hall is brilliant, shining that glazed floor is brilliant and colorful, Lin Hong ape in it, as if the pure glazed world recorded in the Taoist texts, she thought about whether to return to the Dragon Palace also follow the same pattern. Yuchi read the spring drinking absentmindedly, the corner of the eye has been glancing at the outer corridor, the sky is dark, that side has not yet hung lanterns, she hesitated whether to excuse to see him, raised the wine glass, sniffed, hurriedly turned to look at the outer corridor, want to stand up. Lin red ape gently tugged Yuchi read the spring’s sleeve, the latter face full of anxiety, said he smelled the smell of blood, Lin red ape sniffed after a sharp turn of mind, to that young devil’s bottomless body cultivation, fast snow mountain manor even if hidden tigers and dragons, can let him injured masters are only a handful of, Xie Lingzheng counts as a, Li Yi Bai counts as a half, but the outer corridor in addition to the floor twice trembling, and then there is no other movement, could it be that there are people lurking at the bottom of the lake, insidious! Could it be that someone was lurking at the bottom of the lake, sneak attacking Xu Fengnian, and then retreating after getting a hit? Otherwise it can not be that guy has nothing to do, driving a flying sword to assassinate the lake swimming fish with the smell of blood. Lin Hongzaru was also aroused curiosity, hesitated for a moment, to Yuchi read the spring made a look, together stood up to the outer corridor, the night is sinking, as the heavenly immortals towards the earth to drop a piece of black cloth, good in the hall outside the corridor is connected, candlelight and Liu light seems to be like fertilizer, the outside of the corridor scene with the lake puffing the cold wind of the candlelight fluctuating and bright and obscure staggered, vaguely Xu Fengyen sitting in a chair, gently twisted the wrist, Lin Hongzaru Lin Hongzaru’s eyes were sharp and saw a piece of cotton cloth tied on his hand, Yuchi Yiquan asked anxiously, “How did you get hurt?”
Xu Fengyen lightly said, “The ground is slippery, not paying attention and fell.”
Yuchi Yiquan gave a surprised ah and looked guilty. Lin Hongzaru lamented in her heart that if this sister was thrown into the jungle, she would not be eaten to the bone by those jackals and tigers in human skin. Xu Fengyen stood up and laughed, ”I’ll give you a ride, at this moment the manor has all kinds of characters, I don’t feel at ease with the two girls. Fairy Lin previously told their Dragon Palace Grandmaster said that he knew people’s faces but not their hearts, don’t look at most of the people who enter the Quick Snow Mountain Manor are righteous people, maybe they are hypocrites, not to mention those who are both righteous and evil jianghu dispersers. Let’s stroll around the manor, enjoy the scenery to send people both. By the way, I have to disguise myself first, you guys wait for a moment.”
Lin Hongzaru sneered in his heart, hypocrite over you? Xu Fengyen turned around, put a root skin over his face, after turning his head, he had already turned into a scholar with elegant appearance, Yuchi Yiquan slightly opened his mouth wide. At this time there was a rush of footsteps from inside the house, the owner Yuchi Liangfu saw his daughter safe and sound, obviously relieved, but the deep depression between the eyebrows, still pretending to be careless and laughed: ”If dad is not wrong, is the boat to come? Read the spring, which have you so see the honored guest, that is, Xiao Lin Palace Lord see a lot of knowledge, don’t with you as a sister’s general understanding.”
Yuchi Yuiquan smiled with a blush and ran to Yuchi Liangfu’s side, calling out affectionately to his father. Yuchi Liangfu glared down at her, then quickly raised his eyes and looked at the young white-headed scholar with a smile, even if he had a warm smiling face, his eyes were worlds apart from when he viewed his daughter, Xu Fengyen put his hands in his sleeves, bent his head down and saluted respectfully, “Dragon Palace Caixin Officer is honored to pay a visit to the Zhuang Master.”
Lin Hong ape smiled and explained, “Zuo Jing is considered as Mr. Nalan’s favorite disciple, outside of the South Tang Dao, perhaps they are not too familiar with Duke Zuo. When we first entered the Dragon Palace, we meant to follow him to pick a position, the left son of a peculiar vision, but picked a not as good as the Royal Casket Officer’s Cai Lixi Officer, said that the picking of the Lixi Pearls is more pleasing to these scholars and literati who aspire to win in the imperial exams is more joyful. I have been drinking with Yuchi sister for about an hour, Duke Zuo’s patronage is all for us as a door god, or Yuchi sister’s face is big.”
Yuchi Liangfu eyes ice melt, suddenly warm a few points, is really Mr. Nalan this four words for the Liyang dynasty and field are too unattainable, the South Tang Road, the first person, said Nalan right Ci rather than Yan Zhi Wang Zhao Bing, are not too much, even in the south of the border over the eyes of Zhao Bing, Mr. Nalan hallowed oversteps of the matter has not been less? Otherwise, when the feudal king entered the capital, it would not be Nalan Yu Ci riding in the carriage, while Yan Zhi Wang took up the role of escorting the knight. If this Zuo Jing is really Mr. Nalan’s senior disciple, then Yuchi Liangfu’s importance to him even exceeds Lin Hongzaru’s awkwardly positioned Xiao Lin Palace Master.
Yuchi Liangfu cupped his fists and said softly, ”There were some accidents at the manor, but since Mr. Zuo is by my daughter’s side, Liangfu will be able to rest easy. After handling the matters at hand, Liang Fu will come back to make amends with Mr. Zuo and have a good drink.”
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, “I dare not disobey.”
Yuchi Liangfu left the courtyard and shook his head to the old steward waiting at the door, “Yiquan is fine. I met a young man named Zuo Jing, Lin Hong ape said that he is a disciple of Nalan Righteousness. However, the Dragon Palace this time even if there is some movement, but also just for the bird pier mountain, and the Dragon Palace is absolutely not that strength even kill Li Huo Li and Xie Ling Pro two people, the two behind the power is not remote in the corner of the southern border of the Dragon Palace can be shaken, if it is really Mr. Nalan’s shocking plot, even if it is really the Dragon Palace, but also is not the fast snow mountain manor can be interfered with, we are these no one in the dynasty to rely on the people of the Jianghu, easily overthrown ah. ”
The old steward is worried, “really can not think of who has this kind of wrist and courage, Xie LingZhen although not in the martial arts evaluation on the face, but is also one of the top masters, spring posting grass hall is with the new Secretary of the Ministry of the Army matchmaking, Li HuoLi estimated hand flat, but since there is the court this life preservation talisman, who dares to move the earth on the head of the year old? Zhuangzi this time I’m afraid that improperly handled, inevitably to be the anger of all forces, less some take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and down a well, Zhuangzi have to think of a good way back, Jing’an Wang has been interested in fast snow mountain manor to rely on the king’s government, Zhuangzi is not it?”
Yuchi Liangfu’s expression was complicated, indecisive. Stopped, looking at a large red lantern hanging on the tree branches, all without joy to speak of, heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, helplessly said: “as doing business, would like to take advantage of the election of the martial arts alliance to bring momentum to the manor, then you can look for their own buyers, the highest bidder, King Jing’an urgently want to buy, we do not worry about the next family, you can rely on their own temperament vision is not for sale. Now if you are in trouble, and then turn to look at the face of the King of Jing’an Palace, I’m afraid that the fast snow mountain manor will have to be sold cheaply ah. If it is a buy and sell both happy, it is just. I am now afraid that even if sold to the Jing’an Wang Fu, the young king if remember the original mountain village of the insensitive, to the manor shoes, I can know that the king of the feudal lord has a high person behind the scenes in the planning, the ruling clear, have a reputation, compared to the old king of the feudal lord is not bad at all, but to see its words and deeds, heart heart seems not big. People do not have far-flung worries, I am the head of the family, I am afraid that in the future, when I worship the ancestors, I will not be able to face the ancestors ah.”
The old steward said softly in relief, “Yan Fort’s side has already sent someone to go to King Jing’an to mobilize his troops in the hope that it will be a done deal. When Xiangfan’s thousands of iron horsemen come, as long as the killer reveals a trace, it will be hard to escape. Fear only ten steps a murderer a thousand miles, at this time has escaped.”
A manor on the heart of the housekeeper hurriedly messenger, “master of the manor, Yan Fort this side only out of the manor less than ten miles, was King Jing’an under the banner of the scouts intercepted, it turned out that King Jing’an has long been called to the military so that the Qingzhou division of the water nests, warships lined up on the lake in twenty miles away, just fog on the lake, it was not detected, there are more than 4,000 cavalry pinched all the intersections, and dozens of scouts dispersed! Everywhere, as soon as the wind blows, you can close the net!”
After Yuchi Liangfu’s surprise, he bitterly laughed: “This Jing’an King is really skillful in calculation, so it turns out that Quick Snow Mountain Manor has become a fish pond, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait, and then it will be dragged to the shore.”
The old steward lamented, “So it seems that the imperial court side is not just letting this election of the martial arts alliance leader go, perhaps we have all underestimated the imperial court’s determination to make Li Huo Li the one who calls the shots in the jianghu. Xie Ling Zhen and Li Yi Bai may both be roles to accompany the crown prince, just to cover up their ears, but only to make the imperial court’s eating face of coloring the martial arts a little better. Lord, there is a sentence I still have to say, fortune and misfortune are dependent on each other, fast snow mountain manor to be able to come back to life, distant water can not quench the thirst of the near, can only hasten to choose the Jing’an Wangfu this adjacent backer. After all, this spring and autumn after the first hereditary reckless new vassal king, in the capital side is quite favored.”
Yuchi Liangfu waved his hand for that later steward to retreat, hesitatingly saying, “I’ll think about it again.”
The old steward anxiously said, “Master Zhuang, you need to know that time is not waiting for me!”
Yuchi Liangfu floated in anger and said under his breath, “Do we really want to make Yiquan a concubine to that young vassal king who is always in love with his mother’s consort? To gain honor and wealth by selling his daughter like this, Yuchi Liangfu cannot do it!”
The old steward was silenced and sighed tersely, “From the next best thing, although it preserves the mountain village, it is indeed a bitter thing for the young lady.”
Yuchi Liangfu patted the old man’s shoulder, apologized: “Old Liu, know that you are loyal to the manor, but I read the spring of such a daughter, she is with her mother’s stubbornness that died early, I am a father, how to make her happier, to marry a poor boy who really like her, or to marry into the generals and marquis of the family that can not help themselves, the woman to do the floating duckling, how many can be happy! How many of them can live happily?”
The old steward nodded.
Yuchi Liangfu rubbed his cheeks fiercely and said in a deep voice: “Wait a little longer!”
Outer corridor this side, compared to yuchi liangfu and the old steward’s deep in the mire, the bright side to be much easier, yuchi read the spring of the hair, said that the boat can reach her place, but when she approached the railing a knock, immediately dumbfounded, then hastily disembarked, forgetting to tie on that jiangnan water town of the crow’s nest of the canoe, probably the lake wind blowing, now where is the trail of the canoe. This makes the clumsy Yuchi read the spring pretty face red, do not dare to Xu Fengyen Lin red ape two people stare at each other. Just at this moment, a touch of black in the mist slowly through the fog, appeared in the crowd’s field of vision, a young handsome Taoist standing in the bow of the boat, waist tie a delicate bamboo flute, there are a few points of ethereal out of the dust of the immortal’s posture. The world’s Taoist system to the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain as the honor, the world Taoist naturally to wear purple and yellow Longhu Mountain Tianshi as noble, in front of the young Taoist is not dressed like the Tianshifu yellow and purple nobleman, but that temperament, that is, just the clean attire of the unusual Taoist of Longhu Mountain, but also allows people to forget the vulgar at a glance.
Lin Hongyuan narrowed her eyes slightly in order to hide her gloating.
The main man had come.
Moreover, this young Taoist who had made a name for himself in the jianghu by leveling up in the imperial court did not disappoint Lin Hongzaru when he opened his mouth, on the contrary, he spoke the truth in one word, ”My poor Taoist Zhao Ningshen of Longhu Mountain has met with the young Lin Palace Master, and has met with Ms. Yuchi. And this gentleman, sleeve left hand was a sword through the palm, whether to allow poor road superfluous, cheeky gift a bottle of mountain secret medicine for gold sores?”
Xu Fengyen did not make any movement, and had been standing beside the railing with his hands in his sleeves.
Zhao Ningshen warmly smiled, “In addition to returning the boat to Ms. Yuchi, the poor Taoist also has a return gift, I remember when someone on the Daxue Ping mouthed bad words and owed the sword without returning it.”
Xu Fenian’s reply simply made Yuchi Yiquan’s heart shake.
Of course she didn’t care what Longhu Mountain Taoist Da Xue Ping owed the sword, this silly girl’s ass had been steadfastly crooked to the guy beside her.
Only to hear him ask out loud, “You seek death?”
