Xu Feng's words shocked Lu Xiangnan.
He stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
It was only when Lu Xiangnan mentioned the scene when he parted with Ma Xiaoyun and revealed the secret past between them that the agreement made ten years ago made Xu Feng suddenly understand: It turned out that Ma Xiaoyun's leaving without saying goodbye was actually to fulfill his promise to Lu Xiangnan. A promise from the South!
But what Xu Feng couldn't understand was, why couldn't such a matter be explained to him face to face? Is there any hidden secret in this?
If Ma Xiaoyun really wanted to meet his friend in need, why did she hide it from him? Sure enough, the questions lingering in Xu Feng's heart were finally solved, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Lu Xiangnan was silent for a long time before he gradually came back to his senses. His eyes were filled with tears and his lips were trembling. His excitement was beyond words. He said excitedly: "It turns out that Brother Ma has not forgotten our agreement! Brother Ma has not forgotten me. !" He murmured, a smile blooming on his resolute face! I am excited and grateful!
Xu Feng suddenly reached out and patted Lu Xiangnan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ma Xiaoyun is lucky to have a friend who values love and justice like you! Don't worry, I will bring your words to you." There was a look in his eyes. A hint of admiration.
Lu Xiangnan couldn't help but feel excited, and said excitedly: "If Brother Ma really went to Dongting Lake, then I will rush to see him as soon as possible!"
He suddenly became confused: when we parted ways, the date that Brother Ma and I agreed to meet was ten years later, but it has only been nine years this year. The date should be the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. Why did Brother Ma advance it? Rushed away in a year? Could it be that Brother Ma remembered the wrong date? Or is there some other change?
It's just that this matter is a bit strange, and he doesn't know what's hidden in it!
He decided that regardless of whether Ma Xiaoyun really went to Dongting Lake, he would rush to Dongting to have a look in person.
When he overheard the news, he was surprised and happy, and was beating with excitement.
The two chatted for a while and were about to return to the room when they saw Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue walking towards them. Luo Xiangxue smiled, looked at the two of them and said, "Uncle Xu, Lu Zhuangshi, what are you talking about?" ?”
Xu Feng smiled lightly and said: "We are talking about interesting things in the world!"
Luo Xiangxue glanced at Liu Ruyan, covered her mouth and smiled, and asked curiously: "What kind of interesting stories about the world, can you tell me about it?" She was originally curious about the strange people and strange things rumored about the world.
Liu Ruyan looked at Xu Feng and Lu Xiangnan, and guessed from the tone of their words and the expressions on their faces that they must be talking about something more important! However, he couldn't guess what it was exactly!
This was about Ma Xiaoyun, and Xu Feng didn't want to hide it from them. He smiled and said, "Just now I talked to Lu Zhuangshi about Ma Xiaoyun's leaving without saying goodbye. Ma Xiaoyun and Lu Zhuangshi were old friends for many years. They met on the 10th. They parted at the foot of Zhurong Peak in Hengshan Mountain two years ago. When they parted, they made a ten-year agreement. After ten years of separation, if they are still alive, they will meet by the Dongting Lake in western Hunan. I just heard this matter from Lu Zhuangshi. .”
At this point, he stopped again, sighed quietly, and after a moment, he continued: "However, the ten-year appointment has arrived, and Ma Xiaoyun naturally remembered it, so on the day we were about to go down the mountain, he disappeared inexplicably. I just left a letter saying that I was going to an appointment made ten years ago! And the place they agreed on was Dongting Lake in western Hunan!"
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue looked at each other in shock. Luo Xiangxue was completely confused. She had never met Ma Xiaoyun, and she had no idea about his sudden departure that day. But Liu Ruyan remembered the scene when she saw the letter in Ma Xiaoyun's room that day. The letter did say that he was going to meet an old friend and make an appointment. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he seemed to have understood the reason.
Therefore, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle Xu means that the reason why Manager Ma left without saying goodbye that day was to meet this strong man?" He also felt that this incident was too coincidental and full of wonders!
Xu Feng glanced at Lu Xiangnan, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, Ma Xiaoyun just fulfilled his ten-year agreement and went to Dongting Lake alone to meet Lu Xiangnan!" His tone of voice was full of excitement.
Now that he knew Ma Xiaoyun's whereabouts, his previous worries about him disappeared. At the very least, he knew that he was no longer in any danger.
At this time, Luo Xiangxue suddenly asked doubtfully: "He went to Dongting Lake to meet Lu Zhuangshi, but Lu Zhuangshi was here, wouldn't he have failed?"
This question happened to be what Liu Ruyan wanted to ask.
Lu Xiangnan said quietly: "My ten-year appointment with Brother Ma was originally scheduled for next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, but I never thought that he would have rushed there now. I also wondered whether Brother Ma had remembered the date wrongly. Alas! If that's the case. , I have to rush over as soon as possible to take a look."
Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue nodded thoughtfully, only then did they understand the hidden meaning.
Liu Ruyan looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly and she didn't dare to look directly. He suddenly said: "I wonder when the strong man plans to set off? Maybe we can go together!"
Lu Xiangnan looked into the distance, sighed, and said quietly: "Without further delay, I plan to go to Dongting today. It's just that Senior Lei's injury has not healed. If he has to travel all the way, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it?"
At this moment, Lei Zhentian's voice came from behind: "Haha, what can this little injury do to me? I think what Brother Lu said is very true. It is very important to find Brother Chu. If we stay here, we may have long nights and dreams. Why don't we all do it right away?" Let’s go on the road and take care of each other along the way!”
Everyone turned around and saw Lei Zhentian leaning at the door, looking at everyone with a smile. He looked in good spirits, as if his injury and physical strength had returned to normal.
Liu Ruyan hurriedly stepped forward to reach out to help, but Lei Zhentian waved his hand and said: "Young Master Liu, there is no need to help me. Look, am I okay? Everyone, don't worry. I think back then, the five brothers and I were able to do it alone." With a long spear, I swept through the Thirteen Villages of Taihang with almost no opponent. I have been wandering around the world for decades, and I have fought hundreds of battles, big and small. What can this little embroidery needle do to me?" He suddenly thought of his young self. time, those arrogant and high-spirited years. There was a hint of sentimentality in his determined eyes.
When everyone heard his heroic words, they all looked at him with admiration.
Xu Feng pondered for a long time, looked around, and suddenly said: "Brother Lei is really getting stronger and stronger. I didn't expect that his body will recover so quickly. We can't stay here for a long time. If everyone has no other opinions, let's leave immediately, shall we?"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded towards him.
Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue quickly walked into the room, packed all their luggage, and came to the yard.
Everyone then walked towards the gate of the backyard again. When they came, they tied the horses in the stables of the other courtyard. Lu Xiangnan brought two more fast horses over. He rode one himself and gave the other to Lei Zhentian. .
Everyone saddled up their horses in front of the gate, looked back at the magnificent Eagle Castle, then reined in their horses and drove away.
