In the afternoon, thick clouds rolled in, and after a few muffled thunders, it started to rain.
The flowing banquet in the courtyard of Dayang Mansion was crowded with people, cheering and cheering. The incident of Elder Yuan vomiting blood and dying after failing to seize power three days ago is still a major event that everyone is eager to discuss. Then there is Li Yue’s heroic performance that night. He was elected as acting gang leader at the banquet.
Li Yue was framed at the Heroes' Meeting and escaped while being kidnapped on the way to the execution hall. However, he was not formally dismissed from his position as deputy gang leader when he broke into Tianmen. This was because Li Sheng did not want the position of deputy gang leader in the gang anymore.
Therefore, Li Yue was appointed as the gang leader, which was natural and dignified. But after everyone gradually saw that Li Yue was crazy and crazy, they couldn't help but worry, fearing that Chuang Tianmen would be difficult to control under the leadership of this crazy gang leader.
In a room in Tingfengxuan, Gongsun Yao was lying quietly. During the days when he was looking for Li Yue, he had trouble sleeping and eating. In a fierce battle on Ziwu Avenue, Gongsun Yao was seriously injured. After being exposed to the heavy rain, he fell ill soon after returning to his home, suffering from fever and lethargy from time to time.
Wei Zhiqian sat by the bed and wiped the sweat off Gongsun Yao's forehead. She saw that his body was shaking slightly in his sleep, and he murmured: "Zhong Yun... Zhong Yun..."
Wei Zhiqian smiled faintly, pulled the quilt for Gongsun Yao, stood up and left. As soon as she went out, she saw her sister Zhongyun.
"Sister, you finally came to see him!" Wei Zhiqian pulled Wei Zhongyun into the room and said with a smile: "Listen, he called your name in his dream."
Wei Zhongyun smiled bitterly, pulled Wei Zhiqian and said, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" Wei Zhiqian said.
"Dad wants us to go to other counties to deliver samples of the Meteor Iron Sword to Boss Liang. Can you go by yourself? My sister wants to stay..." Wei Zhongyun said.
"Of course." Wei Zhiqian chuckled, turned to glance at Gongsun Yao on the hospital bed, and said, "I know you want to stay with Gongsun Yao here. Dad doesn't like that Gongsun Yao once lied to him undercover. He deliberately wants us to Go and deliver the sword to avoid Gongsun Yao."
"Yeah..." Wei Zhongyun pulled Wei Zhiqian out of the room and said, "The carriage is ready downstairs. You can set off as soon as the rain stops."
"Huh?" Wei Zhiqian was startled and asked in confusion: "If we are in such a hurry, can't we start two days later?"
Wei Zhongyun shook her head and said, "It's better to set off today. My sister has prepared your luggage and belongings for you. The carriage is just outside Dayang Mansion and can set off at any time."
Wei Zhiqian lowered her head and was silent for a while, then raised her head and said with a smile, "Okay."
"Gongsun Yao will let you take care of it." Wei Zhiqian took a breath, looked back at Gongsun Yao a few more times, and then followed Wei Zhongyun down the first floor and came to her father Wei Changqing's room. The luggage and things were already there. After cleaning up, there were ten meteorite swords placed on the round table.
Wei Changqing asked them to take these ten swords and the formula of artificial meteorite iron and go to another place to discuss the business of smelting meteorite iron with an iron shop. Soon, Wu Gang, the top steel for forging weapons in the world, will be officially replaced by meteorite iron. replaced.
"Where are the things?" Several porters knocked on the door and came in carrying a large box, panting and wiping sweat.
Wei Zhiqian pointed to the swords on the round table and said, "These swords must be placed carefully..."
Wei Zhongyun smiled, pressed Wei Zhiqian's hand and said: "These swords are important samples. If they are bumped and scratched in the big box, they must be tightly packed. Sister, you go down first. The carriage is waiting. I packed the swords into boxes, and then sent workers to take the sword boxes to the carriage."
Wei Zhiqian nodded, feeling a little sad in her heart. She walked out of Tingfengxuan and looked back. She couldn't see Gongsun Yao's room from here. She said quietly to herself: "Sister, maybe I have seen what I am thinking, and you are afraid that I will sink deeper and deeper. So he doesn’t like me looking at him anymore…”
She sighed and walked towards the side door of Dayang Mansion. When she saw Wei Changqing, Wei Kailai, Wei Wen, Yang Qiufei, Wei Jing and others all talking together, she got closer.
"Senior Sword King Yang, when our new Wei Family Sword Village opens, you must come to support us in person." Wei Kailai said with a smile.
Wei Changqing said: "Why don't the Sword King come with us to the New Sword Manor now to test the unique experience that our three brothers have studied over the years? I hope the Sword King can give you some pointers."
Wei Kai came and said, "Brother, you have forgotten that the Sword King is still the chief guest of the Dayang Mansion. If the Sword King had not been in charge of the Dayang Mansion, we would all have become the withered bones for Elder Yuan to seize power."
Yang Qiufei cleared his throat, waved his hand and said: "Wei Jing gave all the credit to me. This guy has already given me enough face. After a few days, I have been praised all the time, and I am a little tired of it... I will be honest. Let me tell you, it was not my fault, Yang Qiufei, who broke the plan of Elder Yuan."
Yang Qiufei turned to Wei Wen and said, "This is a good thing your naughty son and his little enemy did together, but I didn't exert any force at all, hehe."
"Who is her enemy?" Wei Jing protested from the side, but no one paid him any attention.
It turned out that Yang Qiufei was indeed ill on the day Dayang Mansion defeated the five bandits including Bai Zhai, but he gradually recovered after a few days. Yang Qiufei suspected that there were other elders' spies in Dayang Mansion, or that he was close to the elders. People will secretly leak the news about Dayang Mansion, and then plan to fake the illness, hoping to lure Elder Yuan here and wait for an opportunity to kill him.
Yang Qiufei knew that the tea boss and Mr. Pork were both upright and bloody men. If he told the malingering plan, there would probably be flaws, so he said nothing to anyone.
Several days passed like this, but there was still no movement from Elder Yuan. Yang Qiufei gradually became impatient and wanted to discuss the plan with Wei Jing, but by that time Wei Jing had already gone to the underground lake alone.
Yang Qiufei simply continued to pretend to be ill, until Bei Xiaolu followed Wei Jing's request and went to and from Fengxuan through secret passages from time to time, secretly guarding Yang Qiufei, and occasionally brought some latest information to Yang Qiufei. Yang Qiufei knew this. Although the little village owner was young, he was very smart, so he found an opportunity to let her know about malingering.
After Yang Qiufei learned about the results of Wei Jing and Bei Xiaolu's respective actions, he was very satisfied and had no worries anymore.
"Originally I thought that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I have fought bandits for so many years, so this time I will let the two little kids show off." Yang Qiufei paused, and then said: "As for me, a has-been sword king, I will When the old immortal comes in person, I will act as an old supporting role, find an opportunity to grab a sword, stab the old immortal twice, and be satisfied with the majesty. Little did I know that someone made a strange thing and asked me to hold it in my hand. I can’t even hold it, so any trace of its prestige is gone.”
Wei Wen smiled awkwardly and explained: "While I was living in Changming, I gradually discovered Elder Yuan's vicious schemes. However, at that time, I was in a situation that was almost like being under house arrest. The more Elder Yuan forced me to become the master of the Sword Hall, his important minister, and the representative of everyone. Helping the supervisors to make powerful weapons, the more disgusted I became. I knew that his sword would one day be used to kill people, so I deliberately sharpened the hilt to make him suffer when he was chopping."
When Elder Yuan visited Dayang Mansion in person, Wei Wen asked several members of the Lotus Hall to escort him to Changhe Tower to meet with Wei Changqing and Wei Kailai. He did not see the situation at that time, but when he returned to Dayang Mansion afterwards, he heard that Wei Jing It's so colorful and exciting, it's like seeing it with your own eyes. He added: "I don't have the martial arts skills of a sword king, and I don't have the wit of A Jing, so I can only make swords, which can be considered a contribution."
"Hehe." Wei Changqing suddenly smiled, looked at Wei Jing and said, "I originally thought that this boy's habit of making weird mechanical toys was inherited from the Sword King, but now it seems that he inherited it from you."
Wei Zhiqian saw that Wei Changqing and the others were chatting happily and didn't notice her at all. Even her cousin Wei Jing was standing by and chiming in without saying a word. Feeling bored, she tugged at the corner of Wei Changqing's clothes and said, "Dad, I'm going to deliver the sword."
Only then did Wei Changqing notice Wei Zhiqian. He looked around and asked, "Where's Zhongyun? Why haven't you seen her? You two sisters have to go."
"Sister is coming soon." Wei Zhiqian smiled slightly and walked to the side door alone. A large carriage parked outside the door. Wei Zhiqian got in the car and leaned against the window to look at the sky. After a while, Wei Zhongyun was already leading the way. The porters carried the luggage and sword boxes from the journey onto the carriage one by one.
"Sister, you have to think of me." Wei Zhiqian held Wei Zhongyun's hand in the car and said softly.
"Idiot, it's not like I'll never come back. But I heard that there are a lot of fun things in that place. When you get there, you might as well walk around and expand your knowledge."
Wei Zhongyun smiled slightly and pointed to another carriage behind this carriage and said: "Those are the sisters that dad borrowed from Yue Lintang EQ. They are to protect you on the way. If you run into any trouble, talk to them That's fine, but you have to remember that you have to treat them as elders of the same family, not as servants."
When Wei Zhongyun said this, he winked at Wei Zhiqian and said, "I have secretly spoken to these sisters in private. They know that I will not go on this trip and will not tell my father."
"I'm not a child, of course I know." Wei Zhiqian pouted and said, "I thought my father didn't want us anymore, so he sent us two girls to travel alone. It turns out that I was prepared for it."
The two sisters talked some more about their thoughts, and then reluctantly said goodbye. The carriage drove slowly, and Wei Zhiqian stuck her head out of the window and said, "Say goodbye to Gongsun Yao for me!"
Wei Zhongyun smiled and waved. She looked at the carriage going away for a long time, and then turned back to Dayang Mansion. Wei Changqing, Wei Kailai and others had already set off to go to the newly built Wei Jia Jianzhuang. There are sword-making workshops and living quarters for the three brothers of the Wei family.
Wei Zhongyun avoided Wei Changqing and his group, returned to Tingfengxuan, and went upstairs alone, stepping step by step, tears welling up like rain, falling on the steps and toes.
