Crown Sword

He didn't have a mouthful of hot soup and rice in the morning, and Wei Zhanmei was hungry until noon. At half past noon, he wanted to make some refreshments, but Chao Chen and the others had no intention of eating and drinking, and were busy planning, so he had to sneak quietly to the hut to steal Mouth.The poor Wei family is just a small family. He is a shopkeeper who throws his hands away. Zuo is kind-hearted and gives alms. The steamed buns have to be heated by themselves.

It's embarrassing to say that he is a master.

After thinking about it like this, his footsteps became a little sneaky, just as he entered the door with his front foot, before the steamer was put on the shelf, Gong Yang Yue hit the wall, watching him like a thief at home with sharp eyes, and blocked him with his back foot.

"Let me ask you, is it Pei Sai who hurt you?"

Wei Zhan's eyebrows trembled, and the large steamer fell to the ground unsteadily, and a few cold steamed buns rolled out and were covered with dust, which made him feel distressed.Looking back, there was a smear of red in front of him, and he couldn't help sighing: "You are too scary to appear and disappear!" Then he picked up the steamed bun, peeled off the dirty skin on the outside, and left a clean core, and waved his hand impatiently, " No, no! It's Miss Pei, I didn't see him. It's a pity that no one is here, otherwise you can still see me, tell me, how do you pay back such a huge favor? Give money or give it to others..."

Gong Yangyue kicked him: "Forget about the money, what's the matter with people, don't you want to guard yourself like a jade?"

"I'm not talking about you." Wei Zhan raised his eyebrows, didn't bother to steam, stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth, and naturally stepped forward to hook his shoulders, "It's brother, you should go to Jian Valley at night to tie up Miss Pei, and then give her Prescribing medicine, powder or pills is fine, the name must be He|Huan San or something like that, if you don’t follow suit, you will threaten to kill her juniors and sisters, disciples and grandchildren, and then I will come out to save the beauty, and I accidentally found that this medicine is insoluble , only..."

"Go ahead." Gong Yangyue interrupted coldly.

"Isn't that how it's written in those Jianghu dialects? Heroes and beauties, dry firewood and fire, can be seen to be deceiving!" Wei Zhan shrank his eyebrows and shrunk his neck, with a fake smile on his cheeks. The appearance of criticism, "I'm afraid that at that time, Miss Pei will either kill the other party or herself first, and she will never wait for me to come to the hero to save the beauty."

At this point, he was very excited, and he really put his nose on his face and said vigorously: "It will be your ram moon..."

"Stop and give me the letter."

Wei Zhanmei wanted to continue, but Gong Yangyue stared at him: "What? It's been a morning and you haven't taken it out yet? Do you want me to help?" He said he was helping, but he didn't do anything, but a sword.

Seeing that his expression was already unkind, Wei Zhanmei immediately offered it obediently: "Yes, yes! Keep it close to your body, here it is!" Then he pursed his mouth and said, "Don't believe me, just your skin, if you are really a daughter There are too many people who want to sleep with you!" Then he stomped his feet as if venting, "No, I think the man is also very dangerous. I heard that there used to be a female bandit near the Xiping Pavilion who snatched beautiful boys ..."

Gongyang Yuemi slanted and said, "Don't fill your brain with cow dung and horse dung."

Wei Zhanmei poked his head over to read the letter, but was stared back by Gong Yangyue, and immediately pretended to be "I don't care, sir", muttering "the more you know, the faster you die", and then looked away.

The letter paper shook out, but there was only one sentence, which was completely contrary to what Lou Xijia said in southern Yunnan——

"Gongyang Qi is not dead, don't look for it."

Why did Li Zhouyang leave two contradictory sentences?

Gong Yangyue folded the letter paper, lit it with a torch, and then threw it into the stove and burned it to ashes.Wei Zhanmei saw that his complexion was not good, so he stopped laughing, and hurriedly asked about it, but Gong Yangyue just put his hand on his shoulder, and patted him solemnly: "I don't want you to get involved in this matter."

Seeing that he was going out, Wei Zhanmei didn't seem to go to the main hall of the backyard to meet other people, so he asked, "Are you going out again?"

"Someone asked me to fight tonight."

"It can't be that ghost sword, right?" Wei Zhanmei challenged without hesitation, "I'll be with you, whether he is a god or a ghost, let's kill him!"

Gong Yangyue took a deep look at him, noncommittal, and asked an irrelevant question after a while: "Miss Pei didn't care about you in the past, if one day, she does, but Pei Sai insists on breaking up the two of you, Will you meet him in battle?"

Wei Zhanmei was puzzled, but he still thought about it seriously, shook his head, scratched his scalp and asked: "Hasn't Pei Sai 'stuffed' less often in the past? How many times were you and Xia Houzhen helped by him back then?"

"Then what if he wants to kill you?"

"I won't let him slaughter me, but I won't take the initiative to do it either. After all, I will be a teacher for a day and a father for life. I think there will be a day when I will choose to leave, so that Miss Pei doesn't have to feel sad, and Pei Sai doesn't have to get angry. , and I don't have to die." Wei Zhanmei was deeply affectionate, and just thinking about it, he felt like a knife was piercing his heart.

Gong Yangyue stopped looking at him and turned around silently.

"Hey, why do you keep mentioning Mr. Pei? Could it be that he came to Mianzhu and you two met, and he brought up Chen Zhima and rotten millet to accuse you? Or..." Wei Zhanmei was alert for a moment, but he didn't Thinking in a worse and worse direction, "You two match up, I really don't know who to help, if Miss Pei is not here, I can take you and run away."

"It's nothing, I just asked casually, I know you have a deep affection for Miss Pei." Gong Yangyue's tone was rare and gentle.

Jian Gu can't escape the rules of "heaven and earth kings, relatives and teachers". Even though Wei Zhanmei has already swept himself out, if he helps himself and abandons his teacher, it is inhumane, and if he helps Pei Sai and abandons his friends, it is unrighteous, although there are words Righteousness destroys relatives, but as a friend, Gongyangyue does not want to use this experiment to make people in a dilemma.

Wei Zhanmei heaved a sigh of relief, but he still didn't believe it. Although Gongyangyue liked to say a few witty words from time to time, he was always prudent and never talked nonsense, so he couldn't hold back, and looked back and forth a few more times.Seeing that people are not stupid and not easy to fool, Gong Yangyue informed him of the deal, but he didn't mention doubting Pei Sai, and deliberately postponed the time until midnight.

At that time, the dust should have settled, and Wei Zhanmei was powerless to reverse the situation, but he could help send Fang Jing and the others back to Sword Valley.

Sure enough, Wei Zhanmei quickly accepted what he said, and was considerate of his intentions, and confidently assured him: "Sure enough, he is a good brother! I know, you are afraid that something will happen to me, just like back then..." The words came to his lips, and he swallowed again. Next, he only said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a chance, I'm good at this kind of thing!"

Gongyangyue let out an "um", which was barely audible.

Wei Zhanmei watched his swaying back in red until it disappeared, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't break free. After a long time, the light fell like a meteor.

Shuang Li rushed out from the hole in the partition wall first, not catching up with anyone, and called several times to Wei Zhanmei who was stunned in place, but there was no answer.

After a while, the talent let out a bewildered look: "What?"

"Qiao Min said there were noises outside, so we'll come out and see what's the matter with you? Why didn't you stop him?" Just now we had made an agreement and waited for Gong Yangyue to come back to finalize, but the Lord left and taught them the bamboo basket. The fetching of water was in vain, as much as he expected, he was as disappointed as he was, Shuang Li almost jumped up and collapsed on his forehead. How did he know that Wei Zhanmei was so hungry that he was dizzy and his intestines were turning like a wheel, and he didn't go in his left ear and out of his right ear? .

"Ah! You mean Gongyangyue?" Wei Zhanmei finally came to his senses.

Such dullness obviously cannot remind people of the elite disciples of the Seven Elders of Sword Valley. Even Ding Gui was able to stay vigilant after being drunk for several years. Quickly, even Shuang Li, a girl who has always been carefree, can catch the sudden change in his emotions, and asked doubtfully: "Seeing that your complexion is not very good, could something serious happen?"

Wei Zhanmei casually said that Ghost Sword used Xiahouzhen to threaten Gongyangyue to exchange letters, and Yuemo also regretted the delay, and stammered abnormally while speaking: "I'm sorry, I just..."

"It's okay!" Shuang Li heard that his blood was boiling and his emotions were aroused. He didn't allow him to dawdle, so he quickly covered it, rolled up his sleeves and said fiercely, "It's said that catching thieves and filth, and catching traitors make a pair. It's just right, we split up and move , first go to lay an ambush outside the west city, and then say to capture people, then invite a few senior clan elders who speak well, and finally push out Ding Gui to confront, and give Lao Yue a surprise!"

Cui Tanfeng nodded: "Although it is a bit risky, after all, wealth and wealth are in danger. Even if the murderer is not caught, if the person is active, at least Gongyangyue can clear up the suspicion. Mr. Chao, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Chao Chen's thoughts were still stuck in the period of exchanging letters, so he was a bit late.

Shuang Li saw that these people were neither active nor clever, with one hand on his hips and the other pointing, he looked like a hot lady haggling in a vegetable market: "What's the matter with you guys..."

Wei Zhanmei hurriedly held her stinky foot, and said obediently: "I'll go, I'll do it! I promise to finish it before Haishi, and make atonement!"

Shuang Li was the most concerned about Gongyangyue's affairs, and she was a little girl, as soon as she took the lead in yelling, several big men started to work with half push and half push.All the gentlemen scattered like birds and beasts, Wei Zhanmei went to the shop and arranged for old servant Shi to go to the workshop to gather the rest of the craftsmen. He heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw it was Chao Chen, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chao, what do you think is wrong?"

He really felt wrong——

This kind of word-of-mouth information, the details are easy to be missed, especially when everyone has a different judgment on the severity.The original words of Wei Zhanmei were that Gong Yangyue told him that Ghost Sword sent a letter to exchange things for people, and exchange the letter for Fang Jing and the three of them. People instead, or name letters?

If it is the former, it is true that the letter is the most likely. Xuanzhi handed it over to Zhou Qingcen to pass on Jiangu before arriving at Lutou Mountain, but this is not the only important thing on Xuanzhi. So he speculated that there might be something important in his luggage, which was the key to his being hunted down.

But the burden was missing in Lutoushan.

The speculation that day was that the Ghost Sword would search for it after killing someone. Is it possible that the burden was hidden by Xuanzhi in advance, or that he met someone else on the road from Shu County to Lutou Mountain, so he made it again? deliver?After all, the letter was left by Li Zhouyang to Gongyangyue, and the killers and assassins must have intercepted it because they didn't want the original owner to know the content, but if it was a timed transaction, wouldn't it be meaningless for Gongyangyue to read it in advance?

Maybe it's because he studied with Gu Zaiwo in the past, Chao Chen seldom believed what he said, convinced himself, and would try his best to find out the bottom line when he had the opportunity.He didn't know much about Pei Sai, and adding that Gong Yangyue deliberately avoided the ghost in Jian Valley made his starting point completely different.

Seeing his hesitation, Wei Zhan frowned, and asked again.

After all, Chao Chen is cautious, the matter of 'Kaiyang' is of great importance, he is not sure whether Gong Yangyue will reveal it, and he dare not easily involve Wei Zhanmei here, so after a few times of entanglement, he only pulls out another excuse as an excuse: "Ah, oh, that's right, Brother Wei, I see that you seemed to be hesitating just now. I think it may be difficult, but I also want to do my best. Can I help you?"

Seeing his righteousness, Wei Zhan arched his eyebrows and thanked him kindly. When he thought that the deal was set in front of Xia Houzhen's tomb, he could only sigh: "You are right, I am really worried, but neither you nor I can help you with this matter." Busy... I, I'm worried that that person has ulterior motives, and Ram Moon will lose control because of this."

"Out of control?" Chao Chen Nahan.

"You don't know?" Wei Zhanmei didn't expect Chao Chen to know nothing at all. When he saw the two bickering, he thought they were very familiar with each other. You should know that Gong Yangyue didn't even look at it if he was an ordinary person. Besides, Even if other people don't know, Shuang Li has been with him for so long, it should be counted, that girl is reckless, when will she be able to hide things.

However, seeing that Chao Chen was really ignorant, Wei Zhanmei turned his head and put his shoulders on his shoulders.

Chao Chen is full of frost and snow, and he is not a crowd. He is usually ignored by Gong Yangyue's words, and it is helpless to use his hands and feet. If it were someone else, he would still put on a dignified look and take a small step back .After all, Wei Zhanmei and him are only two-sided, and he was not born in southern Yunnan, Bashu, or the Western Regions where the folk customs are fierce.

But this quiet gesture made Wei Zhanmei stunned——

"This sword..."

Wei Zhanmei pointed to the "Boneless Wind" hanging around his waist. He came late in the morning, and he didn't pay attention to another gust of turmoil. In addition, Chao Chen held his sword in his arms and covered it with a wide sleeve and wide cloak, so he didn't see it. Swaying the sleeves of his clothes, hem his hands, he saw clearly at once.

"He gave you the sword!"

Wei Zhan lost his composure and subconsciously stepped forward to grab it. Chao Chen panicked and retreated again and again. When he retreated to the eaves, the astonishment in the eyes of the surname Wei slowed down, and slowly calmed down.

No wonder the first time I saw this Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi, I felt an indescribable feeling.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Wei Zhanmei explained with a dry smile, then pondered for a moment, and asked, "Yes, can you lend me a look?"

Although Chao Chen didn't respond, his face relaxed and he already showed approval.Just as he was about to untie the sword, Wei Zhanmei rushed forward, picked it up, stretched out his hand and pulled out half of it, Chao Chen didn't have time to stop.

"broken?"

Wei Zhanmei had a strange expression on his face, arms and eyes drooping.

His left hand lost strength, the scabbard fell to the ground, and the other half of the broken sword slid and rolled out. Chao Chen hurriedly picked it up as if waking up from a dream, and then snatched back the hilt from his right hand, showing impatience: "If you have any doubts, please ask the ram. month." Then, he paused for a moment, and continued with the original words: "Master Wei, you said earlier that you were out of control, why did you lose control? Is it because of Xia Houzhen? Could it... have something to do with Xia Houzhen's death? What will happen if you lose control?"

Wei Zhan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, seeing that he was so concerned, walked over to hold his hand, turned the hilt of his sword, and pointed the word "Xiahou" on the sword to Chao Chen——

"The sword is with the people, but the sword is dead and the people are dead."

"This sword was forged by Xiahou Zhen to Gongyangyue. This is his seal."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Remarks: The next few chapters are stories told by Wei Zhanmei, mainly about the past of Jiangu, the death of Xiahouzhen, the origin of Broken Sword, etc. The main characters are Gongyangyue, Xiahouzhen, and Wei Zhanmei, so there is no attack for the time being. Interaction, if you want to pay attention to the plot and Lao Yue's past, I suggest you watch it. After all, it is a very important plot with plump characters. If you just want to watch the interaction between Gong and Shou, it is recommended to skip it, because Chao Chen will not show his face for the time being.
