[Eight Heroes] A gentleman hides his sword

After Xiangxiang sealed the exit of the cellar, he didn't leave this place immediately.

Yan Tiexin is coming back soon, she can't let him know in advance that she is the Red Flower Pirate, so what she has to do now is to erase the traces left by Ye Feng and Xie Jiaqi before Yan Tiexin comes back.

Fortunately, when she fought with them, she was outside and didn't leave any traces. Xiangxiang just covered up the bloodstains Ye Feng left on the way to escape and let it go.

……

Besides, Yan Tiexin and others finished their follow-up tasks and were about to rush to Jiangnan Yan's Mansion. When Ye Feng left early on the way, Yan Tiexin didn't think much about it, and only asked him to go back more to help take care of Xiangxiang As far as Yan Tiexin is concerned, Chu Xiangxiang can't tell whether it is love or family affection, but it is undeniable that he has been with her day and night for nearly ten years.

In the past ten years, Xiangxiang has given him all he has for treating him well. No matter how cold-hearted he is, he is still indebted to this woman.

But for some reason, since Ye Feng went back early, Yan Tiexin felt a faint feeling of uneasiness. He was always rational and calm, so he would not lose his composure because of this, but when he was on his way, he subconsciously accelerated his speed.

Usually, he was talking to Feng Laiyi, but when he found out that Ye Feng had left first, he raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his lips and speeded up.

But Feng Laiyi didn't know the reason. Ever since the red flower robbery incident, Feng Laiyi had a good impression of Ping Ping. One of them, and even though he is a killer, he is extremely principled, and now he has joined the heroes, doing good deeds for the country and the people with them, and Feng Laiyi appreciates it even more in his private heart.

Every woman longs to meet a beloved man. It is not allowed for ordinary women to make love during the filial piety period, but Feng Laiyi was born in the Jianghu. Although she loves her father, this is not the same as being in love with her in the Jianghu. There is no conflict, but now she is interested in Ping Ping, but Ping Ping seems to be too indifferent, and she also found a lot of topics to talk to him along the way, but Ping Ping is a very quiet person, even if her meaning is obvious, Ping Ping does not Without much reaction, Feng Laiyi knew very well that this person had no personal feelings for her at the moment.

But so what?Feng Laiyi has always been a woman who dares to love and hate. Now that she is tempted, she will not give up easily. Life in the world is like a straw. She just wants to find a confidant to spend the rest of her life with.If you give up something that you haven't tried hard, you will be too sorry for yourself.

Thinking of this, Feng Laiyi calmed down a little, and quickly followed them.

When he saw the rocket burst into colorful light in the sky, Dong Guoren happened to be talking about his dead master Lu Zhi in a gentle breeze.

The sudden sound from the sky startled them. Dong Guoren looked up, thinking about his master, and suddenly said sadly: "That firework is so beautiful, but if it is my master, I will definitely be able to design a more beautiful one."

Seeing his dim face, Feng quickly comforted him: "No matter what, although you lost your master, you still have me, Jia Qi and Ye Feng, and we will all be your good brothers." He lowered his head slightly, His expression seemed a little sad, but he soon returned to his smiling face, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Although I haven't known you for a long time, believe it or not, you are indeed the most important thing in my life." A few friends, I have no father since I was a child, and I don’t have many close friends of the same age around me, I regard you as good brothers, we will walk together in the future, and we will never be too lonely.”

Hearing this, Dong Guoren was quite moved, put aside the sadness in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's right, even if Master is here, he wouldn't want to see me unhappy."

As he spoke, he took the lead in smiling, and simply got out of the carriage, looked at the disappearing sparks in the sky and said with a smile: "But this firework looks familiar, it looks like the contact rocket I developed for Xiaofeng last time!"

The wind was still laughing softly at first, but the next moment he suddenly withdrew his smile, because Ping Ping, who had been walking in front and almost side by side with Yan Tiexin, turned back for some reason and was looking at them with no emotion in his eyes , stabbing at Dong Guoren coldly as if in substance, the smirking Dong Guoren had unknowingly stiffened his hands and feet, and just now he heard ordinary say: "You just said, what is it similar to?"

Dong Guoren was stunned, and replied instinctively: "It's very similar to the rocket I designed..."

He didn't finish speaking as if he suddenly realized something, looked up in surprise, but saw that the fire had disappeared, but the last crackle made him startled suddenly.

Feng Yi also realized something at this time, and hurriedly asked: "It's Ye Feng, that's the signal rocket sent by Ye Feng, did something happen to them?"

Dong Guoren didn't know how to answer anymore, but usually he didn't ask any more questions, and turned his horse's head and rushed towards the direction of Yan's mansion.

Yan Tiexin has been on his way quietly, but he has been in the Jianghu for many years, and he has already formed the habit of being on guard all the time, so even if he didn't deliberately observe what the two newcomers were talking about, he still heard what they said. Seeing that the normal speed was like an arrow coming ahead of them, Yan Tiexin didn't care about his gaffe. He panicked inexplicably, but soon calmed down. He looked at Dong Guoren with an anxious expression behind him and Feng, and ordered in a deep voice. Said: "Speed ​​up, go back as soon as possible."

After all, without waiting for Dong Guoren and others to answer, he drove the horse and ran away.

Feng Yi and Feng Laiyi's light kung fu were both good, so they accelerated their speed without hesitation. Dong Guoren watched their figures disappear into the jungle, glanced at the carriage under him, and said in a low voice helplessly: "Master, if you are alive in heaven, please protect Jia Qi and Xiao Feng from any accident..."

However, when Dong Guoren finally returned to Yan's Mansion, it was already night, but he was surprised to find that the family was peaceful.

Sister Laiyi and Sister Xiangxiang were talking, chuckling from time to time, as if they were talking about something interesting, Yan Tiexin ate dinner calmly, his face paralyzed as always.He usually stands on the eaves with his sword in his arms, his straight back looks more clear and aloof under the moonlight.

Everything is normal, the only abnormal thing is that Xie Jiaqi and Ye Feng are missing.

Although Dong Guoren was relatively simple-looking, he was not really stupid. He glanced around without changing his expression, and soon noticed the wind that was giving him a wink in the corner.

So they went out together to the backyard with a tacit understanding.

After listening to Feng's explanation, Dong Guoren realized that this matter was not as dangerous as they had guessed.

When the wind rushed back, Yan Tiexin and Ping Ping had already arrived, but there was only Xiangxiang in Yan's mansion.

According to Xiangxiang's explanation, Xie Jiaqi read in a book that a kind of herbal medicine could cure her hereditary diseases, so she wanted to get it in person. When Ye Feng came back, he happened to meet him and went with him. It's remote, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for a while, so they went ahead without telling.As for the place where that herb grows, Xiangxiang said that she doesn't know either.

This explanation seemed very reasonable, Feng Yi couldn't find any doubts, and he had always had a good impression of Xiangxiang, so he didn't think she was lying.Just thinking of the signal rocket, he dared not relax. He really regarded Xie Jiaqi and Ye Feng as good brothers who lived and died. Now that their whereabouts are unknown, he is naturally a little worried.

Dong Guoren's face gradually became a little dignified after hearing this.

Dong Guoren, the fat man who always liked to giggle and be cheerful, changed his face. After a sudden wind, he guessed that he should know some truths, so he hurriedly asked, "Why, did you think of anything?"

Dong Guoren glanced around, then signaled Feng Gua to come closer, and whispered in his ear: "When I gave the rocket to Xiao Feng, he even laughed at me, saying that it might be of no use. If the situation is urgent, he will not use it easily."

Feng Yi also frowned, and said in a low voice, "You mean... are they in danger?"

Dong Guoren nodded, with a bit of thought on his face, his eyebrows frowned, and said: "Even if it is true what Sister Xiangxiang said, if Jiaqi and the others went to look for herbs, then using this signal rocket would be very difficult. Maybe it's because they encountered a threat they couldn't handle." He paused, and the next few words were almost murmured: "What's more, I don't know if what Xiangxiang said is true or not..." He still remembered that they talked about As Xie Jiaqi said during the case, "Don't easily deny any speculation until the last moment."

Although Xie Jiaqi is playful, his ingenuity cannot be faked. Dong Guoren also believes in his words very much at certain times.

Not to mention that Dong Guoren and the two have already become suspicious of Chu Xiangxiang. Besides, since he came back and heard Xiangxiang's explanation, although Yan Tiexin was a little skeptical, he still believed that Xiangxiang was very affectionate to him. Shen Shen, he would not do anything bad, not to mention he already knew that Xiangxiang was seriously ill and his time was probably numbered, so he didn't speculate too much about Xiangxiang.I just went to the courtyard to check around, but unfortunately I didn't find anything.

Yan Tiexin was inexplicably irritable. Although he had less time with Ye Feng and more separation, he had always valued Ye Feng more than his former disciple Yang Chen. He couldn't explain the reason, but sometimes he thought about it, probably because of his nature, like Ye Feng. There should be few people who would embarrass him.In addition, when he met Ye Feng when he was a teenager, he always felt that he was like a father and brother to Ye Feng. Since he knew that he was helpless, he, his senior brother, naturally had to take care of him more, but he ignored it. In fact, in terms of status, whether it is his personal disciple Yang Chen, or his fiancée Xiangxiang who has been together for ten years, they are all existences that should be valued more than Ye Feng.

Although his face was still expressionless, his frowning brows had already formed a deep "Chuan" character, which was more deterrent and serious.

Xiangxiang was on the side, bringing him some vegetables from time to time, maybe his health was really bad, his face was still pale, but his gentle and small smile was still affectionate and natural, the atmosphere seemed to be the same as before.

Feng Laiyi is a very winking woman. Although she doesn't know why Yan Tiexin and Pingfan are in a bad mood, but seeing that Xiangxiang has been taking care of Yan Tiexin, she still feels a little worthless for her. She doesn't like to be restrained. She can see how Xiangxiang treats Yan Tiexin these days. Although she respects Yan Tiexin as the boss in her heart, she is still a little unhappy about this matter. Women are easily emotional animals. Xiangxiang is not in good health. Seeing that she has been unable to respond to her dedication, she can't help but rescue her and talk to her about some interesting things that happened when she came back.

……

Time passed bit by bit, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Feng Yi and Dong Guoren were busy looking through Xie Jiaqi's book. Although they had doubts about Xiangxiang, they still didn't dare to make a judgment lightly, so they could only find a way to find the one Xie Jiaqi and the others might go to. Where to pick herbs in hopes of getting some clues.

Usually, he was still elusive as always, and disappeared after the night he came back. Today, after a gust of wind came out of the house, he went to find Dong Guoren's room when he arrived at Hell's Mansion. The two of them had found several suspicious places before, and were about to Pack your bags and head out.

Unexpectedly, just as he went out, he met Ping Ping. He was dressed in black, holding a long sword, and said in a cold voice, "Follow me."

Dong Guoren and Feng looked at each other for a while, and finally followed with a heart full of surprise.

They stopped at the foot of a wall in the backyard.

I usually don't speak, but point them to a place where there are some black stains, something like dust, but a little drier than it, very little, left in the corner of the wall, if you don't pay attention, you will never find it .

Dong Guoren was stunned for a moment, squatted down/body to take a closer look, then simply wiped some on his fingers, and sniffed carefully at the tip of his nose.

After a long while, he finally nodded with certainty, looked up at Ping Ping Hefeng and said, "It's the material I used to make the rocket."

Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said in a daze, "You mean that the rocket was ignited here, that is to say, Xiangxiang is lying."

Dong Guoren didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Usually turned around and left, but the remaining two didn't bother to chase after them. They were a little suspicious. If Xiangxiang lied, then what was she doing for it? Moreover, why Ye Feng and Xie Jiaqi haven't appeared yet, whether they don't want to come back, or , can't come back?
