The rest of the trip went pretty smoothly.
I don’t know whether General Zhang was frightened by the words "the appearance of a swordsman", or because he and the partial general had to concentrate on the task of sealing off the Xishan Mountain, and they also had to deal with the affairs of the Extra Tongming Palace, and they thought Tang Zhao of the Inspector General was in the way. In short, Instead of stopping him, he half-rushed and half-sent him away, anxious to let him leave the camp and fend for himself. As for what he mentioned about Black Widow, there was no hindrance and he just let him take the people away.
Even Tang Zhao only briefly mentioned Yue Lai later, and General Zhang did not express his position at the time. However, when Tang Zhao left the camp, he actually saw Yue Lai who was thrown out of the camp.
It seemed that Yue Lai didn't do anything too extreme. At most, his attitude was a bit annoying. Later, with the Tongming Palace as a comparison, he was nothing. Just as Tang Zhao mentioned it, he asked him to leave too.
In the end, three people and one fox, the companions who had been sitting together on a cloud, finally walked out of the Western Mountain together, all beards and tails.
This is also a blessing.
After leaving Xishan, several people came to a fork in the road and saw two roads in front of them, one heading east and one heading north.
Tang Zhao pointed to the road to the north: "Brother Yue, if you go back to Youzhou, you can take this road."
Yue Lai said hurriedly: "I don't dare to call you brother-in-law, just call me by my name."
After he was chased by Meng Huazhou and rescued by Tang Zhao, Yue Lai became quite polite, without any of the arrogance he had before on Yunshang. Now when he left the camp, he heard General Zhang mention Tang Zhao's identity as a swordsman, and he became even more polite. Very respectful, without the "arrogance of a large sect" mentioned by others.
Think about it, if a mortal can still be arrogant towards a swordsman who has saved him more than once, not only will his character be worrying, but his brain will also be in trouble.
Even if they are in the Yanyun Sword Sect, even the direct disciples will not be arrogant towards a swordsman, especially this swordsman is unusually young and has a bright future no matter how he looks at it.
Yue Lai continued: "I won't go back to Youzhou, but I do want to go north to pay homage to my family."
He smiled at Tang Zhao and said: "Thanks to you, now all my grudges are over. I am relieved and I have to go and pay homage."
Tang Zhao said: "Oh, it belongs to the Meng family and his son..."
Yue Lai sighed softly and nodded.
Black Widow said: "The Meng family and his son have enemies all over the world, and it is not a good retribution to die in the hands of an enemy. Back then, the old man committed murder, arson, rape, and robbery..."
Yue glanced at her, with a dull look on his face, and said: "Murder, arson, rape and robbery? If this is true, there is another reason. There are too many such things in the world. Even if it is for money and death, it is still considered my family's treasure. His crime. In fact, there is none...it's just that old beast Meng wanted little beast Meng to learn to kill."
He had been silent before, not mentioning a word about his grudges, but now he seemed to have finally put his mind to rest, and he did not express his displeasure:
"Twelve years ago, our family came to Youzhou to visit my grandma in a car. Before we left the border of Yunzhou, we encountered two beasts, big and small, from the Meng family. The old beast stopped in the middle of the road and kicked our car over. . The car overturned and I fell into a ditch, but I saved my life. The old beast took our family out one by one and asked the little beast to kill with a sword. The little beast was only ten years old. He took my parents and sister with a sword. Killed them one by one. When it came to killing my five-year-old sister, the little beast must have softened his heart. The old beast scolded him: "Are you soft-hearted just because you are a child? You are such a waste! In two days you will When you participate in the Gu fight, no one will be soft-hearted because you are young. Just die in the Gu fight and be eaten by the bugs. Our Meng family doesn’t have useless snacks like you.’ Then he picked up the little beast’s hand and moved forward. Stab--kill my sister."
When he spoke, his tone was calm, and his voice seemed to come from another world.
Tang Zhao felt horrified and nauseated again. Thinking back to Meng Huazhou's appearance, he suddenly felt that his game-like playing was cheap for Meng Huazhou - how could he play with others like him?
Even the Black Widow said: "I killed Meng Huazhou. I didn't ask you to take revenge with your own hands. I'm really sorry."
Yue Lai said calmly: "It doesn't matter, it's my own incompetence. I didn't seize the opportunity the swordsman gave me. I thank you for not asking him to escape, otherwise he would have had a chance to breathe, and maybe I would have died in his hands first." "
He finally said to Tang Zhao: "Your Excellency..."
Tang Zhao hurriedly said: "This title is too solemn. Let's use the previous title, just call him Brother Tang..."
Black Widow suddenly laughed and said: "Brothers, we are so angry that we think we are the most powerful thieves in the mountains. In my opinion, calling us Mr. Tang will always make us happy."
Yue Lai obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I have received the kindness from Mr. Tang this time. With my humble body, it would be overestimating my ability to repay the kindness of Mr. Tang. But if you have the opportunity, please think of me if you are short of manpower. I hope Energy efficiency is the work of a dog and a horse.”
Tang Zhao said: "You're welcome. I have something to ask you."
Yue Lai said hurriedly: "Excuse me."
Tang Zhao said: "Does your Yanyun Sword Sect have a branch in Yunzhou? The kind with a low entry barrier."
Yue Lai was a little confused and said: "It seems not... We have three lower houses in Youzhou, one in Yanzhou, but only in Yunzhou... I remembered that there was also one in Yunzhou. But this one in Yunzhou Marquis Bian Gaoyuan is strict in governing the country, and he doesn't like seeing us sects collecting seedlings from Yunzhou and going to other states, and imposes more restrictions. Our elders said they were not from the same group as her, so they closed the Lower House."
At this point, his mind changed and he suddenly said: "Do you have to introduce someone to the Lower Court? Why bother talking about the Lower Court? It's not difficult to join our Yanyun Sword Sect directly."
Tang Zhao waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Qi Dafei. Your Yanyun Sword Sect is not for ordinary people."
Yue Lai said: "It is difficult for others, but it is not difficult for you. Even without me, if you take people to any major sect, which one will not accept them? Let alone those who are talented and intelligent, even if they are a little mediocre, they will not be accepted." Absolutely serious training.”
Tang Zhao shook his head and smiled: "Forget it. I'll think about it again."
He wanted Liangzi to go to a sect with a clean and upright family tradition, learn some principles of conduct, and have a good future, but he didn't want to send him to dominate the world by relying on the backstage.
Yue Lai was disappointed that he could not help Tang Zhao, so he had to thank him again, and the three of them parted at a fork in the road.
After he left, Black Widow chuckled and said, "Mr. Tang, your identity hasn't been transferred yet."
Tang Zhao said helplessly: "Why is Sister Yin also called Mr. Tang? Isn't it awkward?"
Black Widow said solemnly: "It's not awkward. I call you Mr. Tang because we are familiar with each other. Otherwise, I should call you Your Excellency. Why don't you accept it? The swordsman should be called Your Excellency. Everyone is like this, and you don't want to. By accepting such a title, do you want to appear humble and other swordsmen are arrogant? You keep lowering your status, which makes others confused. Didn't you see that "brother, brother, brother" makes Yue Lai feel uncomfortable? Is this so? You two are friends, and if he calls you Young Master, he is considered close to you. If he is not related to you, calling him Young Master would be rude. Just call him Your Excellency in a proper manner. It will not make any mistakes, and everyone will be comfortable."
When Tang Zhao heard this, he muttered: "That's true. I've learned a lesson."
He turned to smile and said: "Sister Yin told me these words frankly, which shows that she has not alienated me."
Black Widow also smiled and said: "I said it boldly, but I'm still scared now. If you turn against me, I'll be doomed."
This was a joke that both of them knew, and Tang Zhao also laughed. Black Widow continued: "I hear what you mean. You have a child that you want to introduce to a large sect, but you don't want to be conspicuous and attract attention, right?"
Tang Zhao nodded and said, "Sister Yin still knows me."
Black Widow smiled and said: "I know your temperament. You always want to act in a low-key manner. Unfortunately, if you show your identity, you will be high-profile. How can you make people ignore it? If you want to do things quietly, you can't come forward yourself. You must Find a reliable middleman. Do you want to find a serious sect? It’s better to find me than Yue Lai.”
Tang Zhao was surprised: "Sister Yin recognizes the Zhengdao Sect? But..."
Black Widow said: "You think I am a gangster, so you don't recognize Bai Dao? How is that possible? Black Widow Bai has been in the world for so many years? I was a martyr on the front line in my early years. Who doesn't recognize me? Do I know him?" There are young sects, big and small, black and white, and they can always meet your needs. Some of them may not have close friendships, but it’s no problem to introduce one or two people in. It’s just that we can’t take special care.”
Tang Zhao said: "No special care is needed. I just wonder if there is a sect in Yunzhou with a relatively honest style? It doesn't need to be too big, and it doesn't have to be one with a sparse population. It's best to have a certain amount of power. People bully you.”
Black Widow pondered: "Needless to say, I only know the martial arts in Yunzhou, and you can't even ask me to look outside. The ones with a relatively honest style... I recognize more or less sects... Oh, I can think of one. Yangyuan Sect. This is our old sect in Yunzhou. It was also a famous sect in Yunzhou at first. Later, it declined a bit, but it is still one of the best sects in Yuxia. I helped one of their elders and got a recommendation. Disciple Jian, you have stayed with me for a long time. If you want it, I can give it to you. No, I will go there for you, so that you don’t have to show up and become a ‘move up the troops’ again.”
Tang Zhao was very happy, but still confirmed: "What is the style of the Yangyuan Sect? What is the foundation of martial arts? Why has it declined?"
Black Widow said: "Needless to say, the family style is a bit old-fashioned, but there is no big fault. It is by no means the kind of sanctimonious and wolf-hearted place. The teachings from master and apprentice are also very serious and have been passed down for generations. Not to mention the foundation, both internal and external skills are good. Not bad, Yangyuan Gong was known as one of Yunzhou's three major internal powers back then, and it is also very famous now. The only thing is that the inheritance of the sword is inferior. It is said that the head of the Yangyuan Sect was a swordsman, but he unfortunately fell due to misfortune. , although the old sword has been retained, it is difficult to find successors, and there has never been a swordsman again. The previous head and the current head are just swordsmen. You know the current situation, everything is spoken by the sword. Without the swordsman, the sect will be downgraded. Yes, it has declined. Fortunately, they did not make any serious enemies when they were in their glory. Now they have retreated bravely and have less trouble with Karma, so they can still maintain the prestige of Yuxia County."
After hearing the ins and outs, Tang Zhao was somewhat satisfied with this sect. However, after all, this was a matter related to Liangzi's future, and he could not decide his life based on a few words. He planned to investigate the reputation before making any plans.
He put aside the topic for the moment and asked: "Sister Yin, where did your sword come from?"
