Sir, this sword is a keepsake

"The host has been waiting for you for a long time." An old servant led Shen Fangzhuang and Li into the building, signaling them to wait in the hall.

The hall of Wuxiang Building to receive outsiders is not big, and it will not be like Yongxia Villa, where every year and festivals, big and small sects from all walks of life go up to the mountain to give gifts, and the outer hall of the villa is completely surrounded.

At this moment, recalling the past, Shen Fang realized that those people more or less wanted to enter the Spring and Autumn Pavilion to have a look-maybe one time, Shen Yucheng was in a good mood, set a precedent, and let people go in for a visit?After all, the backs of those murals are engraved with the long-lost martial arts techniques, which were preserved by Shen Yucheng's painstaking efforts for many years.

Nangong Lingyun suddenly walked in from the door.

Shen Fang and Zhuang Li frowned at the same time.They clearly remembered that the old servant went out after going around the hall.

"Hey, every road in my Wuxiang Building is connected, just get used to it." Nangong Lingyun smiled and explained, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you look much better than me."

Shen Fang and Zhuang Li suddenly realized, and then stared at Nangong Lingyun's face.

As thick-skinned as Nangong Lingyun, seeing Shen Fang's strange gaze, Zhuang Li couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"You are here to talk about business."

He said bluntly, maintaining a leisurely pace, walked to the high chair in the first seat, and sat down.

Zhuang Li suppressed his smile, "Gu Nangong——"

The second half of his words were killed by Nangong Lingyun's gaze. He shrugged and changed his words, "Lord Nangong, what is that on your neck?"

Nangong Lingyun wore a wooden collar around his neck, and small wooden wedges were embedded in the gaps to fix it.It seems that only if it is taken off, the head will fall on the chest in front of everyone, or even roll off directly.

Before Nangong Lingyun could speak, Shen Fang said, "You were injured on Wuyou Peak more seriously than I thought."

"You kid, do you still think I'm going to die?" Nangong Lingyun's mouth curled up, "You don't know what kind of monster that sneaked up on me in the palace. This is the first time in my life that I have been threatened with my life. If it wasn't for it being a Monster, my brain is not working very well, I am really decapitated. I am a widow, and I have left a lot of money, and I don’t know who is taking advantage of it.”

He tapped the teacup lightly with his fingers, "I only hurt my spine when I got away, if the wound is deeper, I'm afraid I'll have to lie down and see you two today."

"You made this thing?"

"You may have seen the person who made this thing." Nangong Lingyun smiled at Shen Fang, seeing that Shen Fang was puzzled, and continued, "The cooperation between Huashuangshou and Xiliang is over, I will pay for the work, please him Look at my injury, Shen Fang, you won't blame me, will you?"

Nangong Lingyun obviously didn't care whether Shen Fang would blame him, but just said it casually.Seeing that Shen Fang was silent, he said again:

"Why, didn't you come here just to ask what happened in Luoyang that day? I'm a businessman, so I can give you some reliable news, but you also need to give me something of value."

"First, what happened in Luoyang that day; second, Huyan Dongliu's whereabouts and his plans; third, Li Wuhen's whereabouts." Shen Fang paused, "Apart from the Spring and Autumn Nineteenth, other things you want ,I try my best."

Nangong Lingyun smiled, "Do you think I'm a roundworm in the stomach of the world?"

While speaking, he caught a glimpse of Zhuang Li's displeasure on his face, but it soon faded away, so he joked:

"Seeing that you are obviously going to have an attack, why did you endure it?"

"At first, I thought it would be considered to be through adversity together. I didn't expect that the owner of Nangong is still in business, but after thinking about it, you were hurt by us, so you are not so angry."

"Don't be so sentimental. It's me who decided to follow you. I never let others take the blame for my choice. But you," Nangong Lingyun paused, "You just came here with Shen Fang? You didn't want to follow me. something you know?"

"No--"

"Hey, don't rush to answer, let me think about it, your master, you are not curious about the whereabouts of your senior brother?"

"Do you know where they are?" Zhuang Li couldn't hide the urgency in his eyes, staring at Nangong Lingyun.

"You are really small and capable of Wuxianglou. However, you are right. In business, business is about trading news for news."

"The news, is it related to Beihuang?"

Judging from Zhuang Li's tone, it seems that Wuxiang Building also played a role in fishing in troubled waters in this turmoil. In just a year and a half, all the major sects in the rivers and lakes have declined, and the owner of Yongxia Mountain Villa died at the hands of Shenwu Pavilion, and that It is inconceivable that the instigator who was aloof from above died at the betrayal of his loyal right-hand man.

As for Wuxianglou, except for Nangong Lingyun who ran to Wuyou Peak to die, not only was it safe, but it also had the potential to grow.When the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, the insignificant disciples from various sects turned to Nangong Lingyun one after another, willing to do some trivial and dirty work for him.

Facing Shangzhuangli's suspicious gaze, Nangong Lingyun shook his head, and said with disdain, "I know that you played a big role in Cangzhou when Beihuang attacked the city. Your master sent you there, and I know you should Lu Hongyue, the national teacher in Cangzhou, unexpectedly ran back to Luoyang without anyone noticing, and turned into a corpse in a blink of an eye. Besides, I don’t care too much.”

Zhuang Li couldn't see the slightest guilty conscience in his eyes, and he suddenly thought of those days when he still called her Nangong girl, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

"What I want to know is something related to your master. Your master has always been very mysterious. There are only a few records about him in Wuxianglou, but as far as I know, he has been active in the world for at least several decades. "

He was curious, "Is your master an immortal monster? Several of my subordinates have experienced his demeanor."

"My master just ages slower than ordinary people."

"Shen Fang understands this quite well."

The two looked at Shen Fang in unison.

Shen Fang nodded, "The reason why my mother ages slower than ordinary people is because she has the blood of the Chicheng shark from the East China Sea in her body."

He suddenly remembered what Zhuang Li had said about his master's feelings for his own mother.

"The boat I came back from the Fusang Islands brought back a few ancient books. It was recorded in it that only three drops of shark blood can make dead trees bloom. This is a bit exaggerated, but it can also be seen that this blood is miraculous. Is your master also from Chicheng in the East China Sea?" Nangong Lingyun asked Zhuang Li again.

"I don't know where he is from."

"You've never been curious?"

"You tell me where they are, and I know everything, because my master has never done anything unspeakable."

Suddenly there was the sound of messy footsteps outside the hall. One of the visitors seemed to have just learned to walk. He kicked lightly and then kicked hard. Shen Fang and Zhuang Li looked into the courtyard at the same time.

A pale girl with an oval face is pulling a man with black cloths around his eyes and walking cautiously forward.Although the woman's facial features have not changed, she has obviously lost the mature temperament under the influence of the fog cocoon, and regained the innocence and delicacy that only girls have.

She walked sideways while staring intently at the man's feet, for fear that the blindfolded man would trip over suddenly, so that when she turned around and saw the three of them, she would be shocked.

Sensing the trembling of her palms, the man opened his mouth a little nervously, "What's wrong?"

Nangong Lingyun smiled, and said softly to the girl who asked him for help, "There are guests here, you go elsewhere."

"Ah, yes, I also ask the owner of Nangong to forgive me, and I and Miss Ning will leave now."

Shen Fang's gaze never left the man—he thought to himself, Nangong Lingyun, who also lost his sister, must understand Fang Di.

After the two walked away, Nangong Lingyun looked at Shen Fang whose expression softened a lot, "In Lianyun City, I said she was hopeless, so I was blind."

"Thank you." Shen Fang thanked.

"There is nothing to be thankful for. You saved her, and you entrusted me to take care of her. Now she can eat and dance, so you can take her away."

Shen Fang shook his head, "I think she really likes you."

"Who doesn't like me?"

Shen Fang laughed, and said again, "How did Fang Di go blind? You saved him?"

"I don't have this ability. It's not me who saved people, but him. You can ask him."

Hearing Nangong Lingyun's tone, this person has been at the side for a long time, but neither Shen Fang nor Zhuang Li realized that there were other people in the hall besides the three of them.

"Brother!"

Zhuang Li was the first to see the figure behind the screen and called out.

The figure walked out unhurriedly. It was the mocking wind that hadn't heard from him for a long time. He nodded at the two of them, "I heard what you just said."

He looked at Shen Fang, "I was entrusted by Yazi. If Fang Di was in danger, I would spare his life. On the day of the spring equinox, I hid in the main hall. The plot of Xiliang had long been exposed, so Waiting for Huyan Dongliu and Fang Di to throw themselves into the trap."

"Fang Di raised his sword close to him, but was shot into both eyes by the poisonous arrows in the wall mechanism behind Qi Di. The situation is critical, and I have no choice but to take action."

"Qi Di saw you?"

"I used the smoke pill from Jingzhe Hall, so I probably didn't see it clearly, but the most dangerous thing was on the way out of the palace. The city wall was already covered with archers. Fortunately, I borrowed Nangong's Linglong Armor in advance to protect it." He stayed at the key point and escaped successfully."

"So, when you left, you didn't see Lu Hongyue, and Qi Di was still alive."

"At that time, there was actually another expert who appeared at the same time as me. I couldn't see his appearance clearly in the thick smoke. He must have gone to save Huyan Dongliu." He keenly saw a slight change in Zhuang Li's expression.

Sensing the mocking gaze, Zhuang Li said, "It should be my father who rescued Yan Dongliu."

"your dad?"

Zhuang Li told Xiaofeng about Lianyuncheng and Wuyou Peak.

"The escaped prisoner turned out to be Su'er from Spirit Snake Marsh... He is actually your father..." Xiao Feng frowned, "The reason why those people from the Northern Wilderness set fire to the sky prison should be Master's idea. I thought it was just a simple slap in the face, could it be intentional?"

Zhuang Li's face turned pale suddenly, as if disturbed by some thought in his mind.

Laughing wind was a little sad, "I thought that the Cuncao plan would be thwarted and the saint would be fine, so I walked away protecting the embankment, who knows..."

"Lu Hongyue, who was supposed to be in Cangzhou, suddenly appeared after you and Sue left."

Could it really be Lu Hongyue who killed Qi Di?

The four people on the field unanimously asked themselves in their hearts.

Nangong Lingyun took the lead to break the silence, "Your first question has already been partially answered by Xiaofeng; the second question, according to the information I got, is that Huyan Dongliu is going to restore the country, and he has already recruited troops in the feudal town, preparing to take back the west of Kunlun in one fell swoop. The site. I heard..."

Nangong Lingyun gave the three of them a meaningful look, "I heard that he is looking for Zhu Wu's whereabouts."

"Zhu Wu..." Shen Fang murmured, the name cast an ominous shadow over his heart.And the person with this name left wounds in Shen Yucheng's body that hadn't healed for 20 years.

"A Li, don't you want to know where your master is? I should also pay a visit to seniors. After all, your master and my mother have an old friendship."

Shen Fang's tone was gentle, but Zhuang Li felt a trace of coldness emerge from the depths of his bones.
