Shangguankan only felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and in less than a moment, the boss of the right cripple had disappeared in front of him. The right lame boss didn’t know where he was floating to, but he didn’t take away a single withered leaf or a wisp of dust, just as he came gently. Shangguan Kan was horrified again: "The masked man in black is even more afraid of the lame You. The man in the mask's kung fu and swordsmanship are outstanding in the world. Is it possible that the lame You still wants to surpass him?"
The moon had moved to the west, and a wild warbler was awakened by the sound of Jiang Zicheng and Jiang Mohun's horses, and flew over Jiang Mohun's head with a "puff". Jiang Mohun felt something fell on his head. He swept his hair with his hand and felt that the palm of his right hand was sticky. He immediately started to curse, "What a hell, even this smelly bird pooped on my head! Bah, bah, Sangmenxing!"
Jiang Zicheng was riding on the horse and stopped aside. Hearing Jiang Mohun's scolding, he secretly laughed in his heart: "Jiang Mohun is really unlucky!" He made a "drive" sound, and the powerful horse under his crotch let out a long roar. Hiss, he ran out of the forest without waiting for the horse on Jiang Mohun's saddle.
Jiang Mohun waved his hand helplessly and shouted loudly: "Brother Cheng, wait for me!" Jiang Zicheng quickly followed and ran out of the woods.
Shangguankan ran back to the "Yingyue Tavern". He saw the lame boss on the right sitting at the counter, taking a nap as if nothing had happened. Shangguankan slipped into the room quietly and was about to open the door when he saw the lame man on his right walking up to him out of nowhere.
Shangguankan was frightened by the strange behavior of the boss You Lame. "Did this Lame You have mastered the art of ghosting and blurring?" He was initially panicked and said in a trembling voice: "Hello, boss!"
"Sir, where have you been in the middle of the night? I'm really worried!" The boss, You Laizi, said to Shangguan Kan with concern.
Shangguan Kan felt that he was about to collapse and said quickly: "No, no. I just went to meet my friends in the world!"
"Going to meet friends from the martial arts world?" Boss You Lame said again, "Don't be like me and become a big cripple when you make a mistake!"
Shangguankan clasped his hands and said, "My friends in the world are all quite pure!"
"They're all pretty innocent?" Boss You Laizi asked, "The world is so chaotic right now and it's so dark outside. Are you pretending to be innocent to me?"
"Don't dare!" Shangguankan said again, "When you travel in the world, you have to make more friends!"
"Hey! You're lucky that your friends didn't let you die." The right lame boss said in a weird voice.
"That's true!" Shangguan Kan said, "Some friends are really hurtful sometimes!"
"The world is so dangerous, and people's hearts are so ruthless! You better stop hanging out with those people!" Boss You Laizi cared about Shangguan Kan like he cared about an old friend: "Sir, please listen to my advice. You are so flamboyant in your conduct, One day you will fall into trouble. It’s better to be low-key and humble! It’s late, it’s time to go to bed!”
"Boss, you are right!" Shangguankan bowed his hands to the lame boss on the right and thanked him, "You are trying to persuade me to be kind!"
The right lame boss smiled slightly. His smile was very kind. Shangguankan noticed that when the right lame boss smiled, his eyes were full of love, as warm as the spring breeze. Shangguankan thought to himself: "The lame boss on your side is quite warm-hearted!"
The right lame boss gently patted Shangguan Kan's right shoulder, and then limped away. Shangguan Kan watched the crippled boss on his side and thought to himself: "According to what he said, he doesn't seem to know anything about it. But why did he remind me, 'It's better not to hang out with those people!'"
"This right lame boss is really elusive and unpredictable. It's really scary!" "Isn't it possible that the 'right cripple' I saw just now in the mass grave in the woods behind him is not him? But apart from him, there is no other person in this world. The exact same person was copied: the black clothes were no different, and even the body odor emitted was equally unpleasant. What Shangguankan was most sure of was the triangular eyes of the 'right cripple', whoever saw them It will be unforgettable for the rest of my life." The more Shangguankan thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt: "Actually, the right lame boss is the most dangerous person!"
Shangguankan had a sleepless night, and the scenes of the mass graves in the woods at the back of the mountain replayed in his mind scene by scene: the mysterious and strange whereabouts of the masked man in black, the timidity and humility of Jiang Zicheng and Jiang Mohun when they saw the "right lame man" , what makes Shangguankan most confused and uneasy is the excellent acting skills of the boss "You Lame". "Who is the real identity of the 'right cripple'? Why did the masked man in black, Jiang Zicheng and Jiang Mohun all succumb to him? Who is the masked man in black? Who is the 'big boss' they call him?" Shangguan Kan felt that these doubts were about to block his blood, and seemed to suffocate him to death.
…
The early morning wind, mixed with the strong smell of burning vegetation, drifted through the paper window into Shangguankan's room.
Shangguankan let out an "ah chi" sound and turned over. He pushed open the window forcefully and looked outside. He saw the crippled boss on the right holding a bundle of firewood and limping towards the right side of the "Yingyue Tavern".
Shangguankan remembered that the real purpose of leaving Shangguan Mansion on the pretext of returning to his hometown to visit his elderly parents was to complete the task assigned by his "boss" to retrieve the sword manual of "Nine Realms of the Supreme Good". However, how could he find the sword manual of "Nine Realms of Superior Goodness" in Xianyang City? Shangguankan didn't know why he came to Xianyang City by accident: "Perhaps, there is a kind of soul's reason!"
In the "Yingyue Tavern", Shangguankan met the "boss" who used black pigeons to send messages, that is, the right lame boss. His trip to Xianyang City was not in vain. But he almost died in Huangyangling, almost died of shock in the mass grave, and almost died surrounded by many doubts. Shangguankan was filled with mixed joys and sorrows, and was in constant panic all day long.
Shangguankan once again thought of the tasks assigned by Zi Ye at the mass grave. The tasks assigned by the right cripple boss, especially the "big boss" whom he had never met before, felt very heavy. He was so heavy that he could not breathe, and he was so heavy that he was afraid of taking on the task. Can't get up. He flicked the sword with his right finger, blood dripping from the tip of his tongue: "Judging from the current situation, what else can I, Shangguankan, do besides fight?" "The current situation is enough to allow the long sword in my hand to kill people indiscriminately!"
…
About half a month later, when the noon sign rang, Shangguankan returned to Shangguan Mansion in Dongyang exhausted. Before he could even step into the door of the mansion, he collapsed on the threshold of the mansion.
One of the servants was shocked when he saw this. He called out to Shangguan Qiu in a loud voice: "No! Butler, something happened to Kan Jingang. Kan Jingang is in big trouble!"
Shangguanqiu came over after hearing the news and saw Shangguankan's face turning dark and his eyes closed tightly, so he hurriedly helped him up. Shangguan Qiu exclaimed. Shangguankan did not respond. Shangguanqiu had no choice but to press Shangguankan's philtral acupuncture point hard.
Not long after, Shangguankan woke up with an "ah" sound. Seeing Shangguanqiu beside him, he asked in surprise: "Steward, what's wrong with me?"
Shangguan Qiu sighed and asked quickly: "Kan Jingang, I should be the one to ask you what's wrong!"
Shangguankan suddenly raised his right fist and punched his chest hard, and then cried loudly and sadly: "Mom! The child is unfilial!"
Only then did Shangguan Qiu remember that Shangguan Kan had taken leave and returned to the countryside to visit relatives. Shangguan Qiu thought to himself: "Is it possible that Kan Jinze's mother has died a long time ago? Maybe Kan Jinze didn't see his mother for the last time, so he was too sad." Then he comforted Shangguan Kan in a slow voice and said: "The world is impermanent, Kan Don’t be too sad, Jin Ze!”
Murong Fei, the black hand, came over. Hearing Shangguan Qiu's words, he teased Shangguan Kan coldly: "Kan King Kong is extremely loyal and filial, making me, the black hand, ashamed!"
"Black Hand, how can you talk like this?" Shangguan Kan glanced at Black Hand Murong Fei and complained.
"Isn't that true? As far as I know, Kan Jingang's hometown is not in Xianyang? You didn't go home to visit your relatives, so why did you pretend to cry like mother?" Murong Fei, the black-handed man, said to Shangguan Kan unceremoniously.
Shangguankan was startled when the gangster Murong Fei said this, and he thought to himself: "Am I being followed during this trip?" He smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "I originally wanted to go back to the countryside to visit my relatives. , but I didn’t expect something to happen, so I went to Xianyang, and I heard in Xianyang that my mother passed away years ago." Shangguankan choked up again as he spoke.
"Okay! You guys should stop arguing." Shangguan Qiu persuaded Shangguan Kan and Black Hand Murong Fei in a slow voice.
…
On the second night after Shangguankan returned to Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Yu and Yu Chuchu analyzed the situation of Sima Ji, the king of Han Dynasty, in Shangshan Pavilion, and studied the military affairs of attacking Xiayi and Jingsuo together.
"Sima Ji is really amazing. In just three months, he occupied Liangdi, Luoyang, Zouxian and other places. His territory is getting bigger and bigger." Shangguan Yu took a sip of tea and spoke slowly. Said to Yu Chuchu.
"Brother Yu, that Sima Ji is a careerist, we're afraid we won't be able to control him." Yu Chuchu was silent for a while, then faced
Guan Yu said.
Ever since the Hongmen banquet started that day, Shangguan Yu had admired Ma Ji from the bottom of his heart. There are two reasons why he looks at Sima Ji differently.
Shangguan Yu said to Yu Chuchu: "The world is in such chaos now. Sima Ji can gather people from all walks of life to participate in counter-win operations. This shows that his influence cannot be ignored."
Yu Chuchu smiled softly at Shangguan Yu and said, "It's not just that, right? Brother Yu, you still treat him as a hero!"
Shangguan Yu smiled faintly and said: "Yes, Sima Ji is a hero. If you are a hero, you should respect him!" After saying this, he let out a long sigh and fell into deep thought.
Shangguan Yu remembered saying this to his uncle Shangguan Liang, which was an affirmation of Sima Ji and an affirmation of himself: "Sima Ji is a hero, and I, Shangguan Yu, am even more a hero." He explained deep in his heart : The true meaning of "Heroes should respect each other".
"But does Chu'er understand? Will my uncle's spirit in heaven understand?" Shangguan Yu thought of his uncle Shangguan Liang, and then of his father whom he had never met before. "Even the murderer of my father and the murderer of my uncle are still alive today. They haven't been found yet, this is a blood feud!" Shangguan Yu felt deeply guilty in his heart.
