Sir, this sword is a keepsake

As soon as Shen Fang stepped into the house, he heard a woman's whisper.

What happened, it's all Zhuang Li's fault, he forgot to knock on the door... Fortunately, there was a screen that blocked his view just right, and he couldn't really see where Nangong Fuyun was in the hot air.

Shen Fang closed the door calmly, and there was a dead silence outside the house. Zhuang Li obviously couldn't digest the overly stimulating information for a while.

"For the sake of the girl's safety, I have to make such a bad move. Please Haihan. Please hold your breath and stand here, and your eyes will never leave the opposite window."

Shen Fang paused for a moment, then added: "Please just pretend that Miss Nangong doesn't exist."

No one answered, and one could vaguely hear the heat wave swaying in the wooden tub somewhere in the house, and the sound of clear water, mixed with a sigh.

This sigh penetrated the dense heat in the room and sent it to Shen Fang's ears.

Hearing this sigh and confirming that Nangong Fuyun was still alive here, Shen Fang concealed the sharp sword energy as he said, almost erasing his sense of existence, and stood silently like a puppet.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and all the senses were mobilized with clear thoughts, paying attention to the movement in the house, but the disadvantage of this was that his mind would be too excited, and fragments of the past would occasionally flash inadvertently.

The familiar scene in front of me is a cliff waterfall among the secluded forests, pearls and jade splashing, and the heart is full of peace.

In previous years at Mount Yongxia, whenever the frost fell, brothers Li Wuhen, Qing Ai, and Shen Fang would take the rest of the male disciples, a group of about twelve or three, to a waterfall in the back mountain to cleanse their bodies and refresh their minds. .

The temperature at the time of frost was already cold. Once the teenagers who were chatting and laughing all the way approached the waterfall, they would consciously keep quiet and take off their coats one by one and walk into the water. Liang walked ashore.

Immediately afterwards, the picture flashed, and the scene in front of him was that a large carriage pulled by two horses, one black and one red, was parked outside the gate of the villa, and several swordsmen stood scattered around the carriage.They are wearing green shirts, they are very young, they are not disciples of Yongxia Villa.

With just this one glance, Shen Fang remembered.It was the sword head Fang Xingzhou of Gushan Sword Court and his son and daughter paid homage to Yongxia Villa. It has been three years since now.

Shen Fang, who was in a trance and somewhat discouraged, said something that was not quite in line with etiquette at that time. He only remembered that the girl gave him a sad look, turned around and stepped out of the hall door.Things after that were too chaotic, and the last scene was to send the people from Gushan Sword Court out of the gate.

Although his eyes fell on those blue-clothed swordsmen, his mind was still entangled with the sluggish sword intent that puzzled him.

When he came back to his senses, the carriage in which the girl was riding had gradually disappeared on the dim mountain road.

On the way after leaving Yongxia Mountain Villa, I didn't see people from Gushan Jianting. If they came out from Yuzhou Gushan to intercept them, they should have met them already.I don't know what position they chose this time, and whether they encountered difficulties from Shenwu Pavilion.

The picture flashed again, but Shen Fang's sight was blocked by a large expanse of green that seemed to flow like blue waves.

The green is a green silk skirt that drags the floor.Under Shen Fang's natural gaze, his gaze just happened to fall on a section of snow-white above the silk skirt.

Shen Fang immediately realized what the snow-white thing was, and reacted immediately.

He tilted his head slightly, and said calmly, "Miss Nangong is more skillful than I thought, and she changed her clothes quietly."

The tall and slender woman's black hair was simply tied back by a hosta. At this moment, she no longer relied on makeup, but indeed showed the elegance of hibiscus with a bit of clear water.If it weren't for the exposed shoulders and neck, Shen Fang would even be willing to give her the evaluation of "dignity".

The contours of her browbones and eye sockets are actually quite heroic, but this line of heroism is not easy to be noticed because it was previously covered by makeup.

She and Nangong Lingyunying are indeed very similar in appearance.With a little imagination, Shen Fang could outline the outline of a similar man.

Good looking, smart, suspicious and cunning.

This characteristic is shared by both of them.

"Your Excellency, this is the credit of the sesame oil I dripped into the water. The smell it emits can slow down the heartbeat, and accordingly, people's reactions to some subtle movements will also be slowed down."

Doesn't this mean that I just stood here for a long time is useless?This is the reason why Nangong Fuyun dared to stay in the house alone?Apparently, her own state was not affected.

"The little girl hasn't asked your honorable name yet."

Shen Fang's brows and eyes were a little warm, "Yongxia Villa Shen Fang."

He was not surprised to see a flash of surprise in Nangong Fuyun's eyes first, followed by a look of sudden realization.

Which part is true and which part is false?Shen Fang was not in a hurry to draw conclusions.

"The young man outside the door, who is really good at lightness kung fu, doesn't seem like someone from Yongxia Villa, but he seems to have a good relationship with you."

Shen Fang was noncommittal, and said with a smile, "If Miss Nangong wants to have a good chat with the two of us, why not get dressed first."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the other side of the room and stood in front of the couch.

Nangong Fuyun glared at Shen Fang pretending to be reproachful, a pair of beautiful eyes looked forward to shine, and asked: "Why are we so cautious when we talk behind closed doors? What's more, just now I, Your Excellency dared to break in without permission." , right now, are you afraid that one more man will see my body?"

Shen Fang shook his head, and said helplessly: "The girl misunderstood, the woman outside the door has never seen any woman since she was a child, and she seldom contacts anyone. I'm just thinking for him, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stand the stimulation."

As soon as the words fell, he raised the soft quilt on the bed and threw it straight towards Nangong Fuyun, covering her head with most of her body.

"you!"

"Zhuang Li." As if he had never heard of Nangong Fuyun's displeasure, Shen Fang regained his composure and shouted towards the door.

Zhuang Li outside the door was still standing leaning on the railing, his body relaxed and lazy, he heard Shen Fang calling him softly, thinking it was no surprise, he immediately raised his head and closed his eyes slightly, took a breath, and then let it out slowly.After confirming that he had fully digested the "scare" given by Shen Fang, he slowly opened the door and entered.

The men and women in the room were separated in a corner of the room, Shen Fang was standing in front of the couch, Nangong Fuyun was standing in front of the window, with a large wooden basin that was still steaming in between.

At first glance, he thought Nangong Fuyun was wearing a thick cotton jacket, but in the next moment, Zhuang Li recognized that it was the bedding on the bed, and couldn't help raising his left eyebrow slightly:

What were these two doing before...

"I was afraid that Miss Nangong would catch a cold, so I threw a soft quilt for her."

Shen Fang said calmly, but his eyes were erratic, passing over Zhuang Li's hair, shoulders, waist and clothes hem, but not looking at Zhuang Li's eyes.

Zhuang Li just wanted to find a place where no one was around and looked up to the sky and laughed, because he thought that Shen Fang would be calm and unflinching when he talked about that kind of thing, but now he found that Shen Fang was just trying to hide his inner anxiety and shyness.

"Okay, it seems a little cold..." Zhuang Li said plain words.

Although he didn't say anything, Shen Fang's heart skipped a beat.

Logically speaking, Nangong Fuyun should be able to capture such a strange atmosphere between the two of them keenly, but when she heard Zhuang Li's words, she seemed to be thinking.

Zhuang Li held back and said to Nangong Fuyun, "Miss Nangong, does the vision of night mist passing through the border happen occasionally in Lanzhou?"

Nangong Fuyun turned around, gently opened the window with a dignified expression, and immediately froze in place.

From the palm-width gap in front of her, a few wisps of light smoke drifted out first, and in almost a moment, white flocculent water mist poured in, wrapped her face, and scattered behind her head in an instant. .

Shen Fang stood in front of Nangong Fuyun and looked out the window.

A vast expanse of white mist covered everything including the sky and the earth. The night sky could not be seen from above, and the ground could not be seen from below.Streets, buildings, rivers, and distant mountains all lost their outlines.

It was as if the entire Qiyun Building was enveloped in an upside-down white porcelain.If he hadn't confirmed that he was in the guest room of a restaurant with a city of ten thousand people, and there were two other people standing beside him, Shen Fang would have thought he was dreaming.That nightmare of being lost in the void.

At this time, there were several calls from various directions in the depths of the fog, from far or near.When I listened carefully, it was the patrolling officers and soldiers who were urging the people to go home.

After listening to a few words, the three of Shen Fang learned that Lianyun City suddenly imposed a curfew tonight.He suddenly heard what Dongliu said to him tonight.

"Tonight, it's better to stay awake." "No matter what plans you have for Wuxianglou, don't act tonight."

"It's the first time I know that places other than Cangzhou will have such a heavy night fog. Every time there is night fog, Cangzhou will announce a curfew."

After Zhuang Li finished speaking, he raised his hand and closed the window tightly, with a warning look in his eyes: "It is said that these fogs can sweep away people's souls, so it is better not to open the windows."

"Night fog in Cangzhou?" Shen Fang looked at Zhuang Li with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Well, most of them happened in the middle of the winter night. When I was in Cangzhou, I encountered a few times. However, I didn't encounter any major incidents. I also heard from the old people in Cangzhou that every night fog, some people always lost their souls. disappeared, disappeared from the world."

"It's so strange, it's really beyond my phenomenon."

Zhuang Li paused, "It is rumored that some kind of ancient human sacrifice can get this kind of response... However, it should be just to deceive children, and not let them go to the streets casually."

Nangong Fuyun looked a little dignified, just staring at the empty tea bowl in front of her, as if she was thinking about something.

"This heavy fog makes me feel a little bad. I haven't told you about some things, so I'll make a long story short."

"About five days ago, Nangong Lingyun returned to the Wuxiang Building, as before, and brought back something. He took that thing into the study room on the top floor, and did not come out for two days and two nights." She paused. After a pause, he added, "A person close to him who has a good personal relationship with me told me that it was a rare sword manual. I was secretly looking forward to it, hoping that he would become obsessed with his practice."

"In the past two days and two nights, three groups of assassins from different backgrounds have sneaked into Wuxiang Building and attacked his study."

"Unfortunately, he neither went mad nor died at the hands of these three groups of trash. I saw those people being carried out with my own eyes, and I don't know where they were sent."

"However, on the fourth day, Nangong Lingyun still didn't come out, so I planned to implement the plan I've been planning for many years and escape from that place."

Her tone was flat, but there was hatred in her eyes that could not be ignored.

"Unfortunately, although I managed to leave, I didn't go far before I found someone chasing me..." She gritted her teeth and said, "I guess it was one of his sluts who informed me."

"The first group of people who chased me on Zhuluyuan, you have also seen it. Their martial arts are low and not worth mentioning." She said contemptuously: "He also wanted to give me a chance."

"It's a pity that you didn't get rid of them for me, and I didn't trust you enough at that time. Otherwise, I would have more time left."

"As for that coachman, you also saw the ability of the second group of people he sent. When you know why you died, you are already a dead person." She paused, "Nangong Lingyun wanted to kill someone. , not necessarily personally, his money can always buy all kinds of ghosts and monsters in this world."

Shen Fang interrupted suddenly, "The death of the coachman, do you know who did it? I'm curious about his martial arts skills."

Hearing Nangong Fuyun's words, Zhuang Li had long felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out. He was even more surprised when he heard Shen Fang's question, knowing that Shen Fang obviously meant something.

Nangong Fuyun didn't notice anything strange, and smiled lightly, "It seems that the young owner of Yongxia Villa is not very proficient in such despicable methods as poisoning, otherwise he wouldn't ask such a question. Poisoning is particular about the right time, place and people And, no matter how powerful a person is, as long as he reveals a flaw, he will die."

"Mr. Shen." She slowed down her tone, and said tactfully: "It's almost the same. I also know that the sword manual that Nangong Lingyun stole belongs to your family. Right now, you two have two choices."

"First, help me leave Lanzhou alive. I will exchange the secret of Wuxianglou, and maybe you can get back the sword manual smoothly."

"Secondly, stand by and watch, but today Nangong Lingyun already knows that you, Shen Fang, are the one who helped me. Since he has the sword manual of Yongxia Villa, he will inevitably get rid of you so as to avoid future troubles."

"Furthermore," Nangong Fuyun glanced at Zhuang Li intentionally or unintentionally, and said meaningfully: "Young Master Zhuang, there is a sentence that I don't know whether I should say it or not.

Zhuang Li was taken aback, "Say it."

"You have no grievances or enmities with Wuxianglou. It's just that Nangong Lingyun has always loved beauties. If he sees you, even if he doesn't get rid of you, he won't let you go easily."

Zhuang Li choked for a moment, but Nangong Lingyun was not here, so there was no one to scold.

Shen Fang's eyes instantly became dangerous.

"In short, even if you don't want to, we are still in the same boat. Be careful when sailing in the fog."

"The problem is, even if we can protect you tonight, it's still a few days away from Lanzhou, and there's plenty of time for them to take advantage of it." Shen Fang reminded: "For example, today's method of poisoning is really difficult. Defend."

Nangong Fuyun had expected that Shen Fang and the others would have a question, "This involves a secret of Wuxianglou."

"Nangong Lingyun, if he wants to get rid of a person, he can try up to three times. If he fails the third time, he will let the past go."

After she finished speaking, there was no response from the two of them.

Shen Fang smiled at her, "It's just a testimonial. I'm relieved to hear you say the same. Also, after leaving Lanzhou, are you confident to survive?"

"One day is one day." Nangong Fuyun answered simply.

Zhuang Li asked, "Why do you hate Nangong Lingyun so much? After all, he is your biological brother."

Nangong Fuyun said indifferently: "You should also know the rumors about the wealth of Wuxianglou."

"Nangong Lingyun is a smart person who can turn clouds and rain in the business field. Except for utensils, emotions, body, visible and invisible, everything can be traded."

"The things he has bought and sold are unimaginable for two honest gentlemen with such kind hearts." She said in a delicate tone, "Sometimes doing evil doesn't require murder, arson, or looting."

"It's far away," she said with a smile. "A few months ago, he found that it would be beneficial for him to give me to someone. In order to get rid of this matter, I decided to kill him."

"Understood." Shen Fang calmly picked up the teapot on the case, and filled the three tea bowls with tea one by one.

He stared at the tea in the bowl, and said softly: "The white mist is vast, and the night is long."

Seeing that Shen Fang drank the tea slowly, Nangong Fuyun and Zhuang Li each picked up the cup in front of them and drank it down in one gulp.
