As night fell, the second child of the Yuki family was standing anxiously in his room, wandering around.
He knew that the third child was out of town for hunting today, but he was the most familiar with his younger brother. Everything was a matter of three minutes. Not to mention letting him hunt for a whole day. Even if it rained today, he should have returned earlier. The government is right.
Seeing that the time was getting later and later, Xing Lao Er frowned slightly and ordered the maid beside him: "Let Senior Ling Yun come over."
The maid took the order and did it. Not long after, the maid led an energetic old man with a thin sword on his back into the house.
Xing Lao Er quickly stood up to greet him and said, "Senior Ling Yun, long time no see."
The old man named Ling Yun just smiled and said lightly: "Fortunately, you know my rules."
Xinglaoer nodded repeatedly.
Ling Yun is a well-known warrior in Mobei City. Like all warriors, he spent a lot of time wandering around the world in his early years and finally returned to Mobei City.
Because Ling Yun's deeds back then were widely spread, many big families or the imperial court had come forward to look for him, but Ling Yun always shook his head and refused.
At first, everyone thought that Ling Yun was indifferent to fame and wealth, and only wanted to practice his sword wholeheartedly, but then the head of the Xing family suddenly announced that Ling Yun would officially become a disciple of the Xing family from now on.
Only then did everyone know how many taels of silver the Xing family had spent before Ling Yun nodded in agreement.
Such an old man actually values money so seriously.
Therefore, anyone in the Xing family who wants to ask Ling Yun to do something will naturally have to pay a sum of money according to the difficulty of the matter.
Xing Lao Er clapped his hands, and a silver car was immediately brought in outside the door. Ling Yun stepped forward to open it and took a look, then couldn't control the smile on his face, turned around and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Xing Laoer replied: "Senior Ling, my brother went out to the city to hunt today and has not returned yet. I am worried that he will encounter some danger. I also asked Senior Ling to go out of the city to search. If he is really caught by thieves, Senior Ling will kill a few people." , I will make up the amount."
Ling Yun twitched his eyebrows and looked at Xing Laoer suspiciously.
"Is there anyone in the entire Northern Wasteland who dares to go against the Xing family?"
Ling Yun only cares about money and has never been involved in any disputes. His principles of conduct have always been simple.
You give me the money and I do the work.
Therefore, Ling Yun had no idea how many forces there were in the Xing family or even the entire Northern Wilderness.
Xing Lao Er thought for a moment and said, "Senior Ling is unaware of something. Gu Xiaotian has come to Beihuang to visit my Xing family a few days ago. I suspect that the third child is probably in his hands."
Hearing Gu Xiaotian's name, Ling Yun murmured twice. .
He had heard this name mentioned a few times in recent days, but he thought it was just another junior showing his prominence in the world, and he didn't take it to heart.
Seeing that Ling Yun had no reaction, Xing Lao Er continued to add: "If senior Ling can deal with Gu Xiaotian, senior Ling will be recorded in the Xing family's genealogy in the future!"
Keeping a family tree is always a big deal.
Especially for some big families, many people with foreign surnames have broken their heads and want to be recorded in the genealogy of the big family, so that their descendants can also enjoy it, and they will also live a prosperous and wealthy life, and this But the genealogy of the Xing family, the king of the entire Northern Wilderness, anyone who is greedy for fame and fortune will definitely be tempted by such conditions.
Ling Yun smiled and did not agree directly. He just asked: "Xing Laoer, when did it become a matter of your words whether I can be included in the family tree?"
For Ling Yun, although Xing Laoer's words are credible, he cannot believe them all.
Even if Ling Yun didn't care about the dispute, he also knew that Xing Lao Er's status in the Xing family was average, and it was not his turn to make the final decision on the family tree.
Xing Laoer said: "As long as Senior Ling agrees, I will definitely be able to do it. I will use my life as a guarantee."
Ling Yun looked at Xing Laoer and smiled disdainfully.
After all, he is still a reckless boy, but for Ling Yun himself, this is a profitable matter anyway, so there is no need to refuse to agree.
"OK
, Xing Lao Er, I agreed in advance that if I kill a person, I will need 50,000 taels of silver. "
Xing Laoer nodded, "That's natural, I will prepare it for Senior Ling."
Ling Yun nodded slightly, walked out of the house, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared outside the door.
Xing Laoer's fist clenched loudly, and he punched the table so hard that it instantly fell into pieces.
After a while, Xing Laoer finally calmed down and ordered the servant next to him with a cold face: "Send someone to keep an eye on the eldest sister's room."
In fact, just as Xing Laoer expected, Ling Yun did not go directly out of the city to find someone, but instead came to the door of Feiniao's room first.
Ling Yun gently knocked on Feiniao's door and slowly opened it. Feiniao was embroidering in the room just like a lady. When he saw Ling Yun coming, he gently put the embroidery aside and said with a smile: "Ling Senior, you are a rare guest, you rarely come to my room."
Ling Yun smiled and said: "Miss, I'm lucky that my second brother came to see me just now."
Feiniao said oh and didn't care much about it. He just said lightly: "It's about the third child. Since he gave you money, you can do things for him. You don't have to report to me."
Ling Yun asked: "Aren't you curious, what other conditions did he put on me?"
Feiniao glanced at Ling Yun and quickly guessed, "Do you want you to kill Gu Xiaotian?"
Ling Yun nodded. As expected, talking to smart people saves both worry and effort.
Feiniao held his chin and thought for a moment before asking, "Senior Ling must have agreed?"
"Exactly, that's why I came to ask the eldest lady what you mean."
Feiniao curled his lips, looked at Ling Yun again, and asked, "Senior Ling must be tempted by the conditions offered by the second child?"
Ling Yun, an old man, would be embarrassed sometimes, so he just scratched his head and said: "The eldest lady is indeed very smart. I really can't refuse that offer. I am also old and have some children under my knees, but they are still living outside. As a father, Well, of course I want to seek a good future for them and write it down in the Sachi family tree. It’s really hard to refuse.”
In his early years, Ling Yun was actually quite dissolute, and he often flirted with women outside, so he also brought trouble to many good girls. However, Ling Yun's ideal in his early years was to make a name for himself in the world with one man and one sword, so he was one of these good girls. Didn't take it away either.
Only when he finally became famous did he realize that he owed so many love debts.
Ling Yun also secretly visited several times to see if there were any children who could inherit his legacy, and he really found a few good prospects. However, his status in the Xing family was very embarrassing. Although he was a retainer, in fact He doesn't have much real power in his hands, and is more like a mercenary. For this reason, he has to collect money crazily to pave the way for these children.
Feiniao nodded. As expected, people in the world are also kind and loyal.
Feiniao waved his hand and said, "Senior Ling can just look for the third child, but it would be good to give Gu Xiaotian a warning. The murder will be avoided. Once this matter is done, Senior Ling can be included in the Xing family's genealogy. "
Ling Yun nodded happily, gave a thumbs up and said, "Miss, what a good arrangement."
Gu Xiaotian and his party parted ways with Xingfeng before entering the city.
During this period of time, Gu Xiaotian actually discovered that there were many informants staring at him. Moreover, the viciousness that Xingfeng showed today actually shocked him. Therefore, whether he wanted to help Xingfeng or not, he still had to make a mental note. Question mark, if this person suddenly bites him, things will be very troublesome.
Xingfeng also saw Gu Xiaotian's concerns and didn't say much. He just said that he would send Deafwu if there was news in the future.
Returning to the Xingfeng courtyard, Hao Hao suddenly frowned and said, "There is someone inside."
Except for Xing Feng and Deaf Wu who knew where it was, no one knew the rest of this small courtyard.
Gu Xiaotian slowly opened the courtyard door, and an old man was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking wine in front of the moon.
After hearing some movement outside the door, the old man slowly turned around and said with a smile, "Who is Gu Xiaotian?"
Gu Xiaotian didn't know the identity of the old man in front of him, but he still said respectfully: "Exactly, may I ask who the senior is?"
The old man shook his head, looked up and down, and sighed.
In a word, "Good seedling."
But then, the old man suddenly moved, and his figure flashed in front of Gu Xiaotian, and then he handed out a sword.
Gu Xiaotian was stabbed by a sword before he could even react to such changes.
The old man shook his eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "Don't hide?"
The old man pulled out his sword and struck out again.
This time, Gu Xiaotian responded, jumped up, and kicked the old man in the chest. The old man took a step back. The distance that was once close at hand seemed to be separated by tens of thousands of mountains.
Gu Xiaotian did not stop. At the same time, Wu Feng and the Sansheng Sword were unsheathed. He performed a sword technique with one hand. The two swords flew into the sky, a white light shined, and then they flew towards the old man at extremely fast speeds.
The old man sighed: "The sword power is really good, no wonder the eldest lady is willing to keep you."
Almost at the same time, a green light flashed between the sky and the earth, and the thin sword behind the old man flew towards the sky with lightning speed, driving countless sword energy one after another towards Gu Xiaotian's two swords, with awe-inspiring power. great.
When Hao Hao saw this green light, his eyes immediately widened.
In the Northern Wilderness, use sword and green light.
It can only be Ling Yun!
Ling Yun realized that Hao Hao recognized him, and just smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that my reputation is still spreading."
Under the suppression of the green light, Gu Xiaotian's two swords were quickly defeated.
Then, the sword energy attacked him.
Gu Xiaotian was hit by the sword energy and took two steps back. He covered his chest and asked, "Senior and I have no enmity. Why did senior take my life?"
Knowing that it was not the Xing family, Gu Xiaotian felt a little relieved in his heart.
If it were the Xing family, I might really be in trouble today.
Ling Yun retracted his rapier, stepped forward step by step and said, "I will not take your life."
"It's just that someone entrusted me to give you a heads up."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Who is he?"
Ling Yun shook his head, "Guess for yourself."
Ling Yun didn't mean to show off this point.
After doing this kind of thing for a long time, I have long formed a concept that I will not reveal a word of the name of the person who entrusted me.
"If I give you a few years, maybe your sword will will be much stronger than me."
Ling Yun smiled, these words came from the sincerity.
Then he walked to the entrance of the courtyard and soon turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the night.
