Partridge sky

The night is deep, but the Zuiyue Tower is still warm and full of singing and dancing.

Shen Yanbing was holding a pink-faced and peach-cheeked beauty in his arms, and the two were whispering intimately.

There was a boy sitting across from the two of them—in fact, his age could no longer be called a boy, but when you looked into his eyes, you would feel that he was still a boy, a hot-tempered, reckless boy.There was no woman beside him, and he was drinking a glass of wine.He looked at the wine glass very intently, as if he was looking at his lover.

Shen Yanbing stopped talking with the beauty and asked, "Axi, are you drunk?"

"No." He Xi replied.He didn't seem to be drunk at all, his face was still fair, and his eyes were still so clear and bright.

Shen Yanbing smiled.He was originally a handsome young man, and his smile made people feel like a spring breeze, "Drunk people always like to say that they are not drunk."

He Xi said solemnly: "I'm just not drunk. I used to be easy to get drunk, but it's getting harder and harder to get drunk."

"If you're not drunk, why didn't you attack me?" When Shen Yanbing asked, he put his hand on the iron flute at his waist.He seldom strikes in front of people, and the weapons he uses have always been a mystery in the arena, but he knows that the people on the opposite side know the weapons he is good at.They know each other better than they know themselves.

He Xi touched the snow-white longbow on his back, "I thought I would beat you up when I saw you, but when I really saw you, I didn't want to beat you up."

Shen Yanbing's hand left Tiexiao, and hugged the beauty's slender waist, "Why?"

"Tired." He Xi only replied with one word.

Shen Yanbing laughed, "Yes, after all these years, you are tired, I am tired, and everyone is tired."

Back then, Jiang Yuncheng, Jun You, He Xi, and Shen Yanbing were the four most watched rookies in the martial arts world.They have a very close personal relationship, and they all take it as their own responsibility to maintain the righteous way of martial arts, so the four of them sworn brothers and founded the martial arts alliance that later became the most powerful in the world.

Among the four, Jiang Yuncheng is the longest, Jun You is the second, Shen Yanbing is the second, and He Xi is the least.But the four people mentioned in Jianghu are usually referred to as Jiang Jun He Shen, because among the four, Jiang Yuncheng's martial arts is the highest, Jun You is the second, He Xi is the second, and Shen Yanbing's martial arts is the lowest.

Among the four, Jiang Yuncheng and He Xi were the closest, but after the split between the North and the South, the dispute between the two was also the most intense.

Under the care of the four, the Wulin League is thriving.At this time, Six Doors proposed to form an alliance with the Wulin League.Everyone in Jianghu knows that behind the six doors is the imperial court's backing, and forming an alliance with the six doors means accepting the imperial court's drive.

Jiang Yuncheng believes that although the Wulin League is far away, there is no king in the world. If he refuses, the Wulin League may suffer disaster.Jun You thinks that instead of becoming a court eagle and being spurned by others, it is better to give it a go, and the reputation of the Wulin League may be even higher.

The two insisted on their own opinions and argued endlessly.In the end, Jiang Yuncheng led a part of his troops to the north and set up a new stove in the capital, known as the "Northern League".And Junyou commanded the rest of the people, and the purpose of the alliance remained unchanged, known as the "Southern Alliance".

Shen Yanbing followed Jiang Yuncheng to the north and became the deputy leader of the Northern League.He Xi stayed to assist Jun You and became the deputy leader of the Southern League.

Jiang Yuncheng flourished in the capital, and was even appreciated by the Holy Majesty.However, the good times don't last long, the new emperor regards the Martial Arts League as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.Beimeng was besieged and suppressed by the masters and imperial army. Although Jiang Yuncheng escaped from birth, he was wanted and all his men were killed or injured.After hearing about this, Jun You, the leader of the Southern League, dismissed the members of the alliance, hung up his sword and retired to seclusion.Shen Yanbing was born in a prominent family of Wu Xing. Although he was pardoned, he was devastated and left Ye Zhangtai.He Xi had nothing to do, drank all day long, and was no longer in high spirits like before.

It was a coincidence that He Xi and Shen Yanbing met in Zuiyue Tower.He Xi is for the fine wine in Zuiyue Tower, while Shen Yanbing is for the beauties in Zuiyue Tower.

He Xi thought it was too slow to drink one cup at a time, so he picked up the jug and drank heavily at the spout.

Shen Yanbing pinched the soft cheeks of the beauty in her arms, "Go and sing a little song to cheer up the wine."

The beauty gave Shen Yanbing a shy look, stood up, and walked slowly behind a piece of Yaoqin.She sat down behind the Yaoqin, plucked the strings with spring onion-like fingers, and sang in a manly voice:

"The colorful sleeves hold the jade bell diligently, but they were drunk when they fought hard. Dancing in the heart and moon of the willow tower, singing to the full of peach blossoms and shadows.

After farewell, we meet each other in memory, and share the same dreams with you a few times.Tonight, I have left a photo of the silver scorpion, and I am afraid that the reunion is a dream. "

He Xi's hand shook, and the jug fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.He was a little puzzled, staring at his hand in a daze.He remembered that his hands were always very stable, very stable when tuning strings, very stable when bowing bows, and very stable when shooting arrows.

"You still said you were not drunk." Shen Yanbing stood up, supported He Xi, and left the room filled with the fragrance of makeup.

The two left Zuiyue Tower, and the bright red lanterns stretched their shadows very long.

Shen Yanbing supported He Xi and walked in a small alley, when he heard He Xi's muffled voice.When he got closer, he could hear clearly that He Xi was singing the second half of the song "Partridge Sky", back and forth, over and over again——

"After farewell, we meet each other again and again, our souls and dreams are the same as yours a few times. Tonight, I have left a silver photo, I'm afraid that the reunion is just a dream..."

Shen Yanbing murmured: "It's really ugly." He looked up, the moonlight was very bright tonight, but the moonlight couldn't shine into this dark alley.He felt that he and He Xi, like this alley, were abandoned and did not belong to the present.

They belonged to six years ago, when the Wulin League had no north and south divisions.At that time, Jiang Yuncheng suppressed the world with a short sword, Jun You used a long sword to fight evil spirits, He Xi bent his bow to grab the sun and the moon, and Shen Yan used ice and iron flute to drive away evil spirits.All the heroes in the world listen to their orders, and all factions in the rivers and lakes are at their disposal.

Shen Yanbing was walking and kicked something.He looked down and saw that it was a knife with a black handle, a sharp blade, and blood on the knife.When he saw the knife, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.He is familiar with this knife, just like he is familiar with Junyou's sword and He Xi's bow-this is Jiang Yuncheng's knife.Jiang Yuncheng has twelve knives in total, and the name is "Twelve Knives".

He Xi also saw the knife, and his eyes turned red.He uncontrollably pushed Shen Yanbing away and ran forward.

Shen Yanbing followed behind He Xi, and they found several more twelve knives one after another.

Finally, they saw a lying body in black.The reason why it was determined to be a corpse was because there was a lot of blood under the corpse, and anyone who lost so much blood would become a corpse.

He Xi slowed down and approached the corpse slowly.He knelt down next to the corpse, turned the corpse over gently, and pulled off the mask of the corpse.Even he didn't know why he felt relieved to see a completely unfamiliar face under the mask.He said hoarsely, "No."

"No... It's fine if you don't." Shen Yanbing also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two continued to search along the alley, and found several black-clothed corpses.

Finally, they found Jiang Yuncheng who seemed to be asleep at the end of the alley, with several corpses and scattered short knives beside him.On the ground and on the walls, there are traces of fighting.It was clear that there had been a vicious battle here.

Shen Yanbing's heart tightened, and she quickly squatted down beside Jiang Yuncheng to take his pulse.He was only proficient in medical skills, and Jiang Yuncheng's pulse was very strange, so he said: "He should be fine for the time being, I have a different hospital in the city, let's move my elder brother there first."

Since He Xi saw that Jiang Yuncheng was motionless, and heard Shen Yanbing's words, he took off the longbow from behind and held it tightly in his hand.He thought he was really drunk, and his hand had been shaking since he held the longbow.Now is the best time to kill Jiang Yuncheng, how can he miss it, if he misses it, how can he be worthy of Jun You who is struggling to support the Southern League and the many brothers of the Southern League.

Shen Yanbing didn't see He Xi's movement, but looked up and saw that He Xi's famous longbow "Crane Snow" was shining brightly in the dark night.He pulled out the iron flute at his waist, "I forgot, the Southern League has disbanded, but you, the deputy leader of the Southern League, probably still hate the leader of the Northern League."

The two confronted each other for a while, when they suddenly heard voices.

"I beg you." Shen Yanbing gritted his teeth and said, "You can even forgive me, why can't you forgive Yuncheng? I was the one who designed you to frame you, and Yuncheng has never forgiven you."

This moment is very short, but it seems so long.

"What do you think, without Jiang Yuncheng's acquiescence, what can you, the deputy leader of the Northern League, do?" After saying this, He Xi put the longbow on his back again, turned and left, "I'll come to pick it up when he recovers from his injury." His life."

This time, He Xi was the only one walking in the alley.Ever since Jun You hung up his sword and returned, he has been used to being alone.Watching the clouds alone, traveling alone, and drinking alone.

Shen Yanbing asked him why he couldn't forgive Jiang Yuncheng.He didn't know the reason very well, but he knew that only Jiang Yuncheng could not forgive, compromise, or forgive.

Back then when the North and South alliances were fighting, Shen Yanbing was ruthless and murderous. He didn't know how many times his life was hanging by a thread, and he escaped from death. There was only one belief that supported him.

kill him.

Kill Jiang Yuncheng.
