Outside the window, people were coming and going on the street, and the turbulent river was filled with turbid waves, rushing straight towards the mountain stream to the east.
Lei Zhentian stared at the big sword on the table without blinking, and said quietly: "In those days, the commander was so majestic. He could travel across Guanzhong with only a flying eagle sword. Both black and white in Guanzhong must give him some points. Face, the night attack on Yangjiayu made him even more famous. Later, he retired to Huashan for some unknown reason, and never set foot in the world again. Now, he has reached his twilight years, and he doesn't want to but is plagued by illness. Alas, life is really unpredictable. !" He sighed and sighed.
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh again and again, as if he thought of how he was so dashing and heroic when he was young. The world was so exciting and lively at that time, but now the martial arts talent pool is withering, and there are only a few rising stars who can hold up great positions. In the future, Who can tell what the situation in the world will be like?
The warm sun shines in the courtyard, the noise on the long street has gradually become quieter, there are only a few pedestrians, and the surrounding land is desolate. Three or five swallows chirped and shuttled back and forth under the eaves. There was actually a nest of bird's nests built on the beam under the eaves. Several young bird's nests poked their heads out and looked around, as if they were already hungry and thirsty!
Xu Ziyi said sadly: "Before I went down the mountain, the master specifically told me to find Daxia Xu and hand over the letter to him personally. Alas, the world is so big, where will he go? The master's condition is getting worse. I'm really worried that he won't last long! ” A trace of sadness crept up between his brows.
Everyone saw that Xu Ziyi was eager to find someone, and what he said about the past between the master and Xu Feng ten years ago was indeed true, and Xu Feng knew it well. Xu Feng's heart was racing, and he was eager to know what the letter was about. Perhaps the situation was urgent and he needed to reveal his identity to him immediately.
Chu Yunfei also saw that what Xu Ziyi said was true. He was aware of the relationship between Xu Feng and Gu Zhi back then, but after so many years, they had not contacted each other for a long time, so they gradually forgot about that intersection. Before Xu Feng could speak, Chu Yunfei looked at Xu Ziyi and said calmly: "Young man, the person you are looking for is here!" He glanced at Xu Feng with a smile.
Xu Ziyi was stunned immediately. This sudden sentence made him unable to recover for a moment. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "What? You said that Xu Daxia is here?" He looked at everyone with a surprised face. people.
Xu Feng finally nodded to him and said seriously: "Yes, I am Xu Feng." A faint smile appeared on his face.
Xu Ziyi's eyes widened, he looked Xu Feng up and down, and said in surprise: "Ah, the senior is Xu Feng and Xu Da Xia?" He couldn't express his surprise. This sudden situation made him a little at a loss. I didn't expect that the person I was looking for so hard was right in front of me. It was really hard to find him without any effort, and it took no effort to get him. How could this bizarre situation not make him dumbfounded?
"Senior, are you really Daxia Xu?" His face had veins popping out from excitement, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
"Hmph, it's true!" Xu Feng looked at him with a pair of smiling eyes. This young man could still make him look at him differently. Although he seemed extremely cold and unapproachable just now, his chivalrous and courageous spirit was truly worthy of admiration.
Xu Ziyi was stunned for a long time, as if he had just experienced a big dream, and hurriedly cupped his fists towards Xu Feng and said: "Junior Xu Ziyi has met Xu Daxia!" After that, he bowed.
"Aha, why bother with formalities? Come on, please sit down!" Xu Feng asked him to sit down.
Xu Feng sighed quietly: "Time flies, more than ten years have passed. What disease did your master suffer from?"
Xu Ziyi said bitterly: "My master suffered from serious lung disease a few years ago, and now his condition is getting worse day by day. I'm afraid there is not much time left! His old man mentioned his senior many times and said that he had something very important to tell him face to face, so he ordered The junior came to look for the senior, hoping that the senior could go to Huashan to talk face to face!" He felt deeply melancholy when he mentioned his master Gu Zhi.
Xu Feng stood up, walked slowly to the window, and said seriously: "I didn't expect... Alas, my master has been a chivalrous man and good to others all his life. When we were drinking together at the foot of Huashan Mountain, we suddenly saw a few big men with swords. Chasing a young mother and son, the commander stood up and immediately stepped forward to protect the mother and son. After asking the reason, it turned out that the woman's husband owed someone else some money, and the man died of illness. Poor That woman is dead
Husband, his family is poor and unable to repay his debts. Being forced into desperation, the master not only saved the lives of the mother and son, but also generously paid off dozens of taels of debt for them. Alas, God has no eyes to let good people suffer like this! "He said and let out a long sigh. What happened back then was very emotional.
Chu Yunfei frowned, suddenly stood up, and said slowly: "This place is hundreds of miles away from Huashan. If we leave now, we should be able to arrive before dark. Brother, don't worry about me, Yan'er is by my side. Just go ahead and go! Hero Gu has been upright and good all his life, and he doesn't want to end up like this in his old age. It's really sad! Just go with this Xu Shaoxia!" He glanced at Liu Ruyan and then at Xu Feng.
Liu Ruyan said: "I will take care of the master, Uncle Xu, but please don't worry, I will send the master safely to Zhongnan Mountain. Huamei and Shangguan Auntie must be waiting impatiently! We should arrive at Zhongnan Mountain tomorrow. The Immortal’s Residence.”
Luo Xiangxue also said: "It's getting late, let's leave quickly. If it's too late, we might not be able to reach Phoenix Mountain before dark. I wonder how Sister Hua and Miss Lengyue are doing?"
Xu Feng hesitated and said: "With your Shangguan aunt here, they can't run around. They must still be waiting for us at Xianren Residence. I just don't know if Ma Xiaoyun has returned to Hongqin Residence? Did I see him again when I went south to Dongting Lake?" ? Too many things have happened these days, and I have to return to Hongqinju as soon as possible."
Xu Feng suddenly thought of something and said to Xu Ziyi: "Where is the letter your master gave me?"
Xu Ziyi's eyes flashed and he said: "My master specifically told me that this letter can only be opened by Xu Daxia in person. I am afraid it is a confidential matter. I will give it to Xu Daxia for review later."
Xu Feng nodded slowly, looked out the window at the towering mountains in the distance, and muttered: "Okay, without further ado, let's set off now!" Then he turned to Liu Ruyan and warned, "Nephew Ruyan, you Look after the master, this journey may not be peaceful. If you encounter robbers or bandits, you must deal with them with caution. After leaving Hanzhong City, you can enter the Zhongnan Mountains. There is still a hundred miles to go. In short, everyone must be more careful! Let me go Meet Gu Zhi, let’s meet at the Immortal Residence when I come back!”
Xu Ziyi suddenly felt hot in his eyes and immediately knelt down on one knee to Xu Feng. Xu Feng hurriedly helped him up and said in surprise: "Xu Shaoxia, what are you doing? Quick, please get up!"
Xu Ziyi sighed: "Xu Daxia is willing to go and meet my master. Maybe my master's condition will get better once he sees Xu Daxia! I would like to thank Xu Daxia here!"
Xu Feng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Xu Shaoxia said something serious. Although I have no contact with the master these years, how could I dare to forget the friendship ten years ago? If Gu Zhi hadn't saved me in danger back then, I would be like this I'm afraid the auxiliary bones have turned into dust long ago." He took Xu Ziyi and immediately asked him to lead the way.
Everyone came to the long street and each led their horses. Before leaving, Xu Feng called Liu Ruyan aside and repeatedly warned: "You must bring everyone safely to Zhongnan Mountain, and then build a residence for your master and his daughter." , your master’s injury still needs to rest for a while, so you should pay more attention to it.”
Liu Ruyan nodded and said, "Uncle Xu, don't worry. When I see Shangguan Auntie and Miss Leng Yue, I will definitely pass on your greetings. There is something I don't know whether to talk about or not?"
Xu Feng looked at him and smiled lightly: "Why are you so hesitant? Just tell me if you have anything to say!" He stared at Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan was silent for a long time and said hesitantly: "After the master is sent back to Zhongnan Mountain, my nephew will go to find his little sister. My life experience is not over yet. My parents were killed by the enemy back then. I have been in unbearable pain every time I think about it these years. But now I don’t even know who my enemy is. If Uncle Xu knows anything about it, please inform my nephew!" As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Feng, with a look of panic on his face.
Xu Feng's expression suddenly changed, and there was a thud in his heart. His thoughts were racing, his eyes were wide open, and his face was calm as usual. He said quietly: "Ruyan, my dear nephew, you...didn't your master tell you? He glanced slightly at Chu Yunfei, who was waiting not far away, and sighed, "Oh, this brother Chu is really confused! My dear nephew, your master is the only one who knows about this matter many years ago. You'd better ask him!" He turned slowly.
"To be honest, uncle, I have asked the master several times, but he has always been evasive and refused to tell the truth. Uncle, if you know the inside story, please tell your nephew, right?" Liu Ruyan's eyes were sincere, Looking at Xu Feng steadily
Tall back.
"I only heard your master talk about what happened back then. As for the tragic death of your parents and why they were killed, your master never told me. Yan'er, don't be anxious first. I will work with you. Your master discussed it, but now you don't even know who your enemy is. In the vast sea of people, where are you going to find it?" He sighed quietly and slowly closed his eyes, as if his heart was full of entanglements.
