Sir, this sword is a keepsake

The three of Shen Fang finished packing and went downstairs. Passing by the cash drawer in the hall, Shen Fang still couldn't help asking the shopkeeper: "A tall swordsman who lived last night, but left?"

The shopkeeper's expression was obviously relieved, "Well, I left early this morning, and there was a young gentleman by my side."

"Young master? What does he look like?"

"Here, she has a pretty face, but she looks a little nervous."

Shen Fang said with a smile, "I'm asking what to say now." But he was still thinking about the identity of the young man.

He didn't say anything more, went out of the gate, and found that three good horses were ready outside the gate.As soon as she got on the horse, Nangong Fuyun suddenly let out a light ah, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I was only focused on talking to you, and my personal things were left in the room." Into the building.

Before setting off, Nangong Fuyun changed into a black-bottomed red-patterned short gown for riding a horse. It took some time, but since she said that it was a "personal thing", it was inconvenient for Shen Fang and Zhuang Li to ask.

"There are so many things." Zhuang Li bent over and touched the horse's face, as if talking to the horse.

On the other side, Nangong Fuyun ran upstairs, taking three steps in parallel, and reached the top floor in one breath.

She walked briskly to the lonely guest room at the end of the corridor, waited for two seconds, and knocked on the door.

Xiao Feng heard a knock on the door, "Come in."

"He's gone? So fast—you mean, he shot at you?"

After confirming that no one was following, Nangong Lingyun closed the door, then frowned and looked at the mocking wind, "One more piece of good clothes is broken, you Shenwu Pavilion people are wasting medicine and clothes."

"I really don't want to see you like this." Xiao Feng glanced at the "woman" in front of him, then turned to look out the window, "Aren't you going to leave, why are you coming back?"

"I had something to say to you. You old friends got together just now, so I kindly let you catch up on the old days."

"Speak business."

"I guess, he shot you to test your injuries, but in the end, he found that you were not injured at all." Nangong Lingyun pondered, "What should I do, you have fallen into such a person who hates you It’s in the hands of someone else, don’t you worry about him saying it?”

"He just used this to threaten me with one thing, saying that he would tell me later."

"You lied to him like that back then, yet he didn't take this opportunity to get rid of you..." Nangong Lingyun looked in disbelief, "What else did he say?"

"If you delay for too long, Shen Fang will suspect."

"I'll just say I have a stomachache. Or, do you want me to tell them the truth and say goodbye to my lover? In comparison, which one is more believable—"

"Li Wuhen was indeed killed by Yazi." Xiaofeng said suddenly.

Nangong Lingyun was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh, and said with a gloomy expression, "It's really true. He must be crazy, this..."

"But before he arrived, Li Wuhen's throat had already been slashed, and he was left in a pool of blood waiting to die... Yazi just ended his pain."

"He only said that he saw the man who chased and killed Li Wuhen in the teahouse. He was a man with no good looks and no special features. He should be wearing a diaper."

"□□ is to hide the face, butchers usually cut the throat to hide the knife skills."

"I think so too." The mocking wind paused, "The one who waited for me on the Mingguang Pagoda last night was a swordsman with extremely terrifying sword skills. This is the first time I have seen it in so many years."

"Swordsman?" Nangong Lingyun pondered for a moment, "I fought a swordsman a few years ago, and he was the only one who missed three times since I was the host of Wuxianglou. It makes sense why he has been mysterious and his whereabouts are uncertain."

"Perhaps, Chiwen may know more than me, but she doesn't trust me right now, and she doesn't want to see me. However, regardless of the identity of the swordsman, what I don't understand is that the swordsman is an inch-grass person , the target is Daliang, why did he attack Yongxia Mountain Villa, and more importantly, why did he kill Li Wuhen? Is it just to frame Shenwu Pavilion? Shen Yucheng is not that easy to be confused by appearances. Confirm with me again and again who the person who killed Li Wuhen is."

"It's just that you can't tell Shen Yucheng about the inch of grass... Otherwise..." Nangong Lingyun stopped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Perhaps I will figure it out sooner or later when I stay with Shen Fang. Hey, what about you at that time?" If you don’t stop me from taking the sword manual, I guess I know that the sword manual that the group from the White Horse Escort Bureau got is fake.”

Xiaofeng was noncommittal, "It's not bad to see you being deceived once."

"I really want to stop me from taking the sword manual, why don't you just kill me?"

"I don't need to kill you." Xiaofeng said softly, "I'll just save your body and find a good place to bury you."

Nangong Lingyun smiled even more happily, "I want the sword manual, not just for my own selfish desire."

"What's with me?"

Nangong Lingyun was silent for a few seconds, then shrugged, "That's right. Before I leave, I want to ask two more questions. First, why did you tell me about Li Wuhen?"

"There's no particular reason."

"...You want to use Wuxianglou's mouth, if Shen Fang suspects Jai Zi in the future, so that you can put aside the relationship for him?"

"This is a matter of Wuxianglou." Xiaofeng glanced out the window, "Is there anything else, Shen Fang seems impatient to wait."

"Secondly, at this point, do you still want to advance and retreat with Yazi? He came here to look for you, wouldn't it be the same—"

Xiaofeng interrupted Nangong Lingyun, "He chased here only because of the whereabouts of Fangdi. He has received the order from the palace, and after a while, he will go to Qingzhou to join other people in Shenwu Pavilion .”

The eyes of the two intertwined in an instant, Nangong Lingyun said softly, "Do you still remember the first time I saw you that day, it was on the roof of Wuxiang Building, you sat there alone and looked at the north, seeing you I climbed up, didn't say anything, and even didn't see me at all."

Xiao Feng's eyes flickered, and his expression softened, "Later, I have you in my eyes."

"Maybe that's enough." Nangong Lingyun had a self-deprecating smile, turned around, and went out neatly.

Xiaofeng raised his head slightly, looked at the cloudless sky, the rips in his clothes were blown away by the breeze, and Yazi's saber energy seemed to be still surging in his chest, and he couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart.

Xiaofeng saw Nangong Lingyun reappear outside the building, got on his horse, and the three of them headed west together, gradually drifting away.He looked at the two figures, one white and one gray, talking and laughing, just like seeing the other two teenagers who rode horses together back then.The two teenagers finally arrived in Luoyang in the late spring, and saw the city full of falling flowers in one day.

As Nangong Lingyun said, Yazi knew that he was not seriously injured, but he didn't use this to inform him, so that the emperor sent someone to put him under house arrest or get rid of him. This really surprised him.

What exactly was the thing that Yazi would let him do?

……

Yaoshan starts from Liangzhou in the west and reaches Luoyang in the east. The northern foot of the mountain is a gentle slope, extending slowly towards Cangzhou, while the southern foot of the mountain is densely covered with mountains and ravines.The main road of the Daigo River is at the southern foot of Yaoshan Mountain. It winds east to the sea between the mountains on both banks. Along the way, there are large and small lakes and rivers.

Shen Fang and his party left Lianyun City and walked a few miles north, far away from the official road with people coming and going, and arrived at the edge of a green hill full of mountains.If you look north and go deeper, within half a day, you will enter the vast and sparsely populated mountains and forests.

As the trail got narrower and narrower, Shen Fang couldn't help but suspect that if it went further, it would be impossible to follow the path opened up by the predecessors.He has confirmed the way with Nangong Fuyun over and over again, after all, the latter also knows Guixuzi, maybe he has been to Wuyou Peak.

"It was too young at that time, so I forgot, but, you can go all the way north, you can never go wrong." Nangong Fuyun always said in a bad mood.

"Don't worry, with me, no one can die."

Shen Fang looked at Zhuang Li who said this, and smiled.

Two days later, they completely entered the primeval forest of the vast and distant mountains. The towering pines and cypresses became forests, and the ground was piled up with pine needles. The original color of the soil could no longer be seen.

Soon, the food they brought ran out, so they had to use local materials.Zhuang Li's words came true, if he hadn't stopped him several times in time, the other two would have eaten a lot of fresh-looking mushrooms, and their bodies would have suffered a lot, and they might have just confessed to being on the road .Thanks to Zhuang Li, they who hunted wild fruits and mushrooms for food every day only had mild diarrhea. Except for a little dizziness, there was nothing wrong with them.

Nangong Fuyun was wary of Zhuang Li at first, and didn't dare to trust the mushrooms that Zhuang Li picked. She just suppressed her hunger, but later she really couldn't stand the roasted aroma, and after eating the first piece, she couldn't take it anymore. .

One day, when she ate a fruit that Zhuang Li handed her that she couldn't name, she smiled frankly and said, "Mr. Zhuang, if you want to harm us, you just need to keep silent."

Zhuang Li nodded seriously.

Shen Fang, on the other hand, peeked at Zhuang Li from time to time, and couldn't help but think about how much hardship Zhuang Li had to endure to develop this ability.

That night, they came to the middle of a short peak, and after many twists and turns, they arrived at a hillside. Their vision widened, the night sky was exposed above their heads, and a bright moon hung high.

Although Shen Fang has seen the moon countless times on Yongxia Mountain, only now did he realize that the artistic conception of the bright moon shining on thousands of mountains is so lonely and ethereal.

Zhuang Li found a rock protruding from the side of the mountain, stood on it, and watched the way he came.

Zhao Lian came to a tree beside the road, just as her hand touched the cold and rough bark, her hand was knocked off with a crisp "snap", and she turned her head suddenly to find that Zhuang Li had followed him at some time.

"I don't know how to live or die, this kind of tree is used to inhabiting poisonous ants." There was a touch of reproach in his tone,

Shen Fang couldn't help but laugh, but these days he has gotten used to being taught like a four-year-old.

Zhuang Li asked again: "How's the influence of the fog cocoon these few days?"

"Well, when I'm resting, I still see and hear strange things." Shen Fang added: "However, I didn't fall too deep, and I didn't suffer much."

"Whispering sword is the sword your father used back then?"

Only then did Shen Fang realize that he hadn't told Zhuang Li, "Well, later, after he learned the Nineteenth Spring and Autumn Period, he handed the Whispering Sword to my mother. After leaving the villa, my mother shook the sword thousands of miles away. It can be heard."

Zhuang Li smiled as he listened, and looked up at the moon, his eyes were full of longing, but the next second, his eyes were full of worry.

In the past few days, Zhuang Li often showed a worried expression inadvertently.Shen Fang didn't ask and didn't expect that Zhuang Li took the initiative to say yes this time.

"You Yongxia Mountain Villa's rules about practicing "Spring and Autumn Nineteen", are you really unbreakable?"

Shen Fang didn't understand what Zhuang Li said for a moment, he was startled, and said, "Do you want to—"

"If you arrive at Wuyou Peak, and you receive a letter from your father, he still asks you to deliver the sword manual..." Zhuang Li paused, and then said seriously, "Qi Di will definitely not allow you to learn if you really entered the palace. Spring and Autumn Nineteen, if you regret it in the future, it will be impossible to think about it again. If you have learned ahead of time and entered the palace, with a Spring and Autumn Nineteen, you can still kill it by yourself. After all, that is the real one. The sword breaks the formation, the unparalleled swordsmanship of a sword."

"Master just asked me to accompany you to deliver the sword manual, and didn't say that you must stay in the palace honestly... So, I'm not disobedient to my master's order by persuading you..." Zhuang Li said this , a pair of gentle eyes looked at Shen Fang eagerly, and looked up at the night sky, "Although this place is still far away from Luoyang, when I think of you entering the palace, it will be difficult for us to see each other... I always feel that you will disappear the next moment." ... Sigh, I'm going to make you laugh again after saying these petty words. I thought you once said in Fengshan that you wanted to be a ranger and wander in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and you have fallen in love with the scene these few days."

Zhuang Li's heartfelt words had already made Shen Fang tremble with excitement, he actually forgot everything, left everything behind, immersed in the sudden ecstasy, could only look at Zhuang Li dumbly, unable to speak .

Zhuang Li was embarrassed, and the two were relatively silent for a while.

Shen Fang realized that no matter what kind of feelings Zhuang Li had for him, he had at least gotten a response.However, the ecstasy only lasted for a moment, and what Zhuang Li said caused Shen Fang to fall into a more painful struggle in his heart.After a while, Shen Fang said slowly, "Zhuang Li, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but... I'll think about it after I receive the news from the villa." His voice was tired, as if he was overwhelmed.

However, after seeing Zhuang Li's somewhat disappointed eyes, and after leaving Yongxia Villa for so many days, Shen Fang had the urge to take out the famous and coveted Spring and Autumn Nineteenth Authentic Works hidden in his bosom for the first time and read it.
