Folding the halberd to seal the cold

Three days have passed since Ye Feng was taken away by Hao Qi.

Ever since he returned to the Valley of the Wicked, Tang Ling felt sullen in his heart, and he didn't even say a word to Shang Lu.

After Haoqi withdrew from Feisha Pass, Shang Lu cooperated with the villains headed by Lord Su to plan a meeting in the meeting hall of Cold Wind Castle on how to hold on to Feisha Pass and regain the Golden Gate stronghold in the future.

But no one mentioned Ye Feng at all.

It's as if everyone has lost their memory together, deliberately forgetting what happened in the Longmen River Valley.

Thinking of this, Tang Ling's heart was blocked for a while, and he was so suffocated that he didn't even bother to do the tricks that he was usually obsessed with, so he simply lay down on the stone and drank mulled wine alone.

Shanglu couldn't find Tang Ling several times, but finally found him on the highest mountain in Liefengji.

Tang Ling had a gloomy look on his face, not as radiant as usual.

Seeing Shang Lu coming, he just glanced at him, then turned his head and continued to drink his wine, ignoring him.

I don't know how long it took, but Shang Lu finally broke the silence with a helpless sigh: "Since you can't get drunk, don't drink anymore."

Tang Ling's fingers holding the wine glass stopped, and the knuckles became tighter and tighter, until the veins on the back of his hands gradually rose, and even the wine in the glass was trembling to the point of spilling.

Shang Lu felt sour when he saw it. Tang Ling's nickname was "A Thousand Cups of Never Drunk". Even if a student borrows alcohol to relieve his worries at this moment, it is actually just a futile self-deception.

As if this sentence was the point to break the suffocation, the unhappiness of being told the truth broke out in an instant, Tang Ling smashed the wine glass with a wave of his hand, stood up and stared at Shanglu: "Yes! You understand! You understand everything , so I can see through it, who needs you to remind me? Did I say I was going to get drunk? I just like drinking, okay?!"

Seeing Tang Ling, who was angry for no reason like a child and vented his dissatisfaction, Shang Lu didn't bother with him: "Are you blaming me?... You didn't rescue Ye Feng that day."

"Blame you?... Blame? I..." Tang Ling said halfway, as if thinking of something, the second half of the sentence suddenly disappeared from his mouth.

After a long time, I laughed at myself again: "I have no right to blame you. That's right, I was the one who didn't believe him that day. I was the one who said those stupid things in public..."

"Tang Ling." Shang Lu wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but Tang Ling squatted down, leaning against the stone, and whispered slowly:

"I know that I am not only not as smart as you, but I have always been less intelligent than you. So because of this, you try to discuss many things...bypassing me."

"Bypassing you, I just want to save one person from being in danger, and I have no other intention." Shang Lu worriedly dissuaded him.

"Then let me ask you now, Ye Feng went to Haoqi with them, it was... a last resort, right?"

"Tang Ling, even if I don't answer, you've already figured it out these days, haven't you?" Shang Lu sighed and asked him back.

Tang Ling was silent.

At the end of that day, they were allowed to stalk them, Hao Qi just blindly defended and retreated, and did not continue to embarrass them with the villain's overreach.

Not long afterward, the guards of the Haoqi League at the Longmen Stronghold suddenly withdrew from Feisha Pass.

The answer is already obvious, the deadlock turned so quickly, it must be some kind of contract that Ye Feng made with them.

Even if it's the swordsmith that Qin Yue was talking about...even if it's an uneconomical agreement...even if it bears most of the incomprehensible eyes in the Valley of the Wicked...

Ye Feng him finally reversed the situation with his own strength.

That's why they can sit here now and have time to drink away their worries.

If you can't figure it out after three days of thinking, then Ye Feng has made him a friend for nothing.It's just that the more he thought about it, the more resentment towards himself gnawed at him uncomfortably.

"But what's the use of thinking about it... Can you save Ye Feng if you think about it..." Tang Ling closed her eyes in pain, not knowing whether she was talking to Shang Lu or talking to herself.

"It's not that I don't want to save Ye Feng, but that you, me, and the remaining villains... are indeed unable to rescue Ye Feng." Although he didn't want to face the facts, Shang Lu still patiently gave Tang Ling Analysis: "Although Feisha Pass has been taken back, the Wicked Brothers guarding there have just gone through a fierce battle, and their vitality has already been seriously injured. That's why Master Shaogu assigned the rest of his disciples to continue to defend, because no one can guarantee that the heroic Will it make a comeback again? Now that Haoqi’s morale is high, even if we gather the rest of our troops to attack the Haoqi League, it will not help. Luoyan City is the center of Haoqi, and the degree of defense can be imagined. If you go there, you will just die. You I don't care, but can I drag everyone to seek their own death? Do you remember... what Ye Feng said the day he left?"

How could he not remember... Tang Ling refused to answer.

That day he pushed Shang Lu's hand away, and said clearly: If people can choose to live, why would they seek their own death.

This is also Ye Feng's warning to them.

He used his humiliation in exchange for their temporary safety, how could they ignorantly drag everyone together to die together.

Sometimes loyalty is more important than life, and sometimes loyalty is ridiculously cheap. This is a fact that has to be admitted.

Tang Ling raised his head, slowly turned his eyes to Gaefengji, and murmured to Shanglu: "Actually, Ye Feng is different from you and me."

"I, Tang Ling, have no father and no mother. I once wished to be the best killer. But you still have a glimmer of hope in your heart. If you stay in this Valley of the Wicked, maybe one day you will see the moon when your clouds bloom." Tang Ling's eyes gradually drifted away until he reached the familiar road of three lives that he had walked countless times: "You also know that Ye Feng always likes to sit here when he has nothing to do. It is my current position, far away Looking down here, looking at Sansheng Road, looking at Manxue River, often sitting for a whole day."

Shang Lu knew what he was going to say, and the sourness in his heart became heavier.

"When he first came to the Valley of the Wicked, I never understood what's so interesting about him standing here every day." Tang Ling simply raised the wine jar and took another sip of strong wine.

"Later, he told me that on the day Ye Chen came back for the last time, there was a rare heavy rain in the Valley of the Wicked. Ye Chen had no strength in his whole body. He walked through the place covered in blood step by step, supported by his sword. A road of three lives, walked through this Cursed Blood River, but failed to enter the Valley of the Wicked in the end, and fell at the door, slowly losing breath."

"Ye Feng knelt in the rain, hugged Ye Chen, and knelt for a whole day until the rain stopped. It was also from that day that Ye Feng picked up his sword and stayed here."

"He told me that I heard that if a person with obsession returns, he may be trapped in the place where he died before his death and linger."

"He was afraid that Ye Chen's soul would not be safe, and he would continue to suffer. Or he thought it would be good to see him again, so he stood here and wanted to see it again. But he never saw it... He said, maybe this It's a good result, probably Ye Chen has already been reincarnated. When Ye Feng said these words, even I knew that he didn't believe in such nonsense ghosts and gods. But looking at him... Have the heart to say it."

"Tang Ling, don't say any more." Shang Lu, who had been in pain for a long time, finally interrupted him.

"Sometimes I also think, different from our reasons, why did Ye Feng bury his life in the Valley of the Evil. Later I realized that he is very stubborn, and his righteousness towards others is even more outrageous. With Ye Feng Just like dust, guarding your friends is like guarding your own life. As long as you promise, you will try your best to do it. So I hate myself for being powerless, and I also hate the villain who is still weak at this stage even if I work hard... "

"Tang Ling, believe in Ye Feng's choice. No matter what the situation is, at least Haoqi has a conditional relationship with him now. He is so smart that he won't get into trouble easily." Shang Lu looked down at Tang Ling , Consolingly said: "What we have to do is to take back the lost strongholds one by one, so that Ye Feng can feel at ease there temporarily."

"He will definitely come back." Shang Lu also looked towards the Sansheng Road in the distance.

Before leaving that day, Ye Feng silently hinted at a mouth shape from an angle that only he could see.

He said, "Trust me, one month."

He believed in Ye Feng, and always had.

He will definitely come back.
