There were four people in the room.
Zhang Nu, a swordsman from the North, is already considered an old swordsman. He is still as tall as he was fifteen years ago, but like Hua Fengju, he has a lot more white hair on his temples.
The old sword sect was carrying his unsheathed sword weighing eighty kilograms on his back. He was sitting at the table with a straight face, looking at the three people opposite him with a murderous expression.
Sitting opposite Zhang Nu was an amiable old man who was nearly sixty years old and short in stature. The old man was wearing high-quality green Sichuan brocade. His face was red and he was calm and calm. He was glancing sideways at Zhang Nu, an old swordsman. He was silent, which is difficult for ordinary people to do. I thought that such a kind old man dressed as a rich man would be one of Yan Linxiao's sworn brothers, and now the founder of Xishu Fushen Pavilion, Gu Beixuan.
Behind the old man Gu Beixuan, there are two capable young men of similar age standing, one on the left and one on the right standing like green willows, like two young door gods.
Yan Longyu and Hua Fengju pushed open the door and walked in. The eyes of the four people in the room immediately focused on the young man.
The old man from Xishu quickly stood up without the support of the two young people behind him. He limped quickly and walked up to the young man who was a head taller than him. He looked around carefully as if seeing an old friend, and then stared at Hua Hua. Fengju, speaking in a Xishu accent, cursed excitedly: "Hua Fengju, you son of a bitch, you are so smart and happy in a green shirt, look at what kind of rags you are wearing for my good nephew?" "
Hua Fengju, who had always been unforgiving, just glared and straightened his back in front of the old man surnamed Gu, and for the first time did not say anything back.
Yan Longyu, who was wearing Yangui's cloth, was originally in a low mood, but when he saw the kind old man in front of him who was cursing Uncle Feng, a smile appeared on the young man's face involuntarily: I didn't expect anyone in this world would dare to let him go to Xishu. Feng Jue scolds those who don't retaliate.
Zhang Nu, the old swordsman sitting at the table, stared at the extremely attentive old man from Xishu next to Yan Longyu with a black face. He was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table and said at the top of his voice: "That's almost it. I said that old man from Xishu , I haven’t seen you in Xishu pay any attention to this child in all these years, but what is causing the trouble today?”
The old man Gu Beixuan smiled and asked Yan Longyu to sit down. He turned around and cursed at the Yanbei old swordsman: "What the hell! Who doesn't know that when the princess married my second brother Yan, you Yanbei were not even a bird?" Come on, do you want to take credit in front of your children today? Go back and tell you, King Yan, that if you want anyone, there is no way!"
"You lame man, I'll give you some face, right?"
"My surname is Zhang, I want you to give me face? Show your dignity?"
…………
Before they could even say a few words, the two old men started to quarrel, and the curses were so loud that Hua Feng, who was forced to be the peacemaker, couldn't stop them.
Yan Longyu noticed the two young men of his own age in the room and blinked at them. The two teenagers grinned playfully in response. But neither of them spoke.
"Old boy, if you don't give in, let's fight! You really thought I was afraid of you!"
"If back then, my legs hadn't been broken, let alone Zhang Nu, you were a bullshit sword sect. Even if the gods came, I would have reincarnated you!"
Seeing the two men blowing their beards and staring at each other, about to start a fight, Yan Longyu hurriedly politely said loudly: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Gu, I came today to know something about my parents. Can you tell me? Junior one or two.”
Gu Beixuan called Yan Longyu's father Brother Yan, so Yan Longyu could only call this old man who was older than Hua Fengju uncle.
After hearing Yan Longyu's words, the two old men restrained themselves. The old man from Xishu sat down and took a sip of tea. After he calmed down, the old man looked at Yan Longyu, sighed arrogantly, and took out a letter he had prepared from his sleeve. He handed it to the young man and said, "My child, everything you want to know is in this letter."
——Excerpts from the letter are as follows:
In the 21st year of Shenwu's reign, a swordsman from Xishu suddenly appeared in Jinguan City, Xishu. No one knew where he studied under his master. They only knew that his name was Yan Linxiao, and the sword in his hand was named "Bu Si Shu". In the next ten years, that man stunned the world with just one sword:
Asked about Jianjia Lake in Kuizhou, and the battle with the owner of Jianjia Lake ended in a draw;
I went to Lingfu Palace in Xia Prefecture and asked for warm jade, and the master of the palace, Wangyou Patriarch, personally came out of the palace to see him off;
Entering the Tonghuang Immortal Island in the South China Sea, the sword destroyed the martial arts state of the White Tiger Palace Master, one of the four palace masters on the island, and made him stop becoming a master in his lifetime;
After entering Fengzhou's Ciaolu Pass and defeating seven current spear sects in a row, he left with his sword, revealing his talent as a martial arts immortal;
The sword was pointed at the Xiaoyao Sect in Tongzhou. He drunkenly carved the four words "Rarely Xiaoyao" in front of the Xiaoyao Sect, and left laughing;
All the way to the north, and then to Yanzhou, he stood in front of Yanbei Qijian Tower and asked the old owner to come out. They fought fiercely for three days and three nights, and were finally defeated!
Yan Linxiao, the Sword Immortal of Xishu, has since been named Zhenjianghu!
In the 29th year of Shenwu, Yan Linxiao married Yin Yuan, the princess of Yanbei County, who was more than ten years younger than him in Jinguan City, Western Shu. Princess Yin gave birth to a son two years later, named Long Yu.
In the thirty-fourth year of Shenwu, the three kings rebelled. Yan Linxiao met the prince Chenqian who fled to Western Shu with his concubine Yao. Yan Linxiao took Hua Fengju, Gu Beixuan and nine swordsmen from Western Shu to Yuhua City and met in Qingyi Jiang Pan killed the main force of the King of Qin, forced King Chenqiong of Qin to death, escorted the prince to Beijing and proclaimed himself emperor, and named him Chunfeng.
In January of the first year of Chunfeng, the king of Shu, Chenyu, who chose to stand by during the Three Kings Rebellion instead of helping, went to the capital to protect himself, and went to the capital to surrender to Yan Linxiao's younger brother, Yan Linyuan, who was the governor of Shuzhou at the time.
In February, Emperor Chunfeng Chengan issued an order to marry his sister, Princess Jinhua Chenxianyu, to the new King of Shu, Yan Linyuan.
In June, Pang Lingguan, the old imperial master of the Qin Dynasty, saw a strange phenomenon in Western Shu. He gouged out his eyes and went to Emperor Chunfeng to give Yan Linxiao death and depose the king of Shu. The emperor was furious and refused to agree.
In October, the demonic sect re-emerged, and various factions gathered in Dingding Mountain to encircle and suppress the demonic sect. Yan Linxiao took his sworn brothers Wei Chong and Li Chongshan to Dingding Mountain.
In the first month of the year of Chunfeng, the Demon Sect was destroyed. Yan Linxiao, the Sword Immortal of Xishu, was killed in Dingding Mountain. He, Wei Chong and Li Chongshan died without any intact bodies. Only three broken swords were left behind.
In February, the emperor's edict arrived at Jinguan City, Shuzhou, and gave a glass of poisonous wine to the Yan family in Western Shu, along with a gold medal of immunity from death. Yan Linxiao's wife, Yin Yuan, the princess of Yanbei County, took the poisoned wine and drank it all in one gulp.
——
Yan Longyu took the letter with an expressionless face and read it word for word, page by page. The young man did not shed any tears. Over the years, he had poured out his thoughts about his parents behind every deserted old tree in Qishan.
At this moment, facing the news of his parents' death, the young man calmly silenced several people in the room.
"So, the person who wants to kill my parents is actually not the one in the capital, but someone else. And after Emperor Chunfeng gave the poisoned wine and then dropped the gold medal for immunity from death, it was to beat our Yan family."
The young man's tone became a little more serious: "The rivers and lakes killed my father, and the temples killed my mother! But I don't know how to avenge this great revenge!"
Gu Beixuan and Hua Fengju nodded at the same time.
Gu Bei I haven't found him yet."
The old man patted the young man on the shoulder and continued to say kindly: "Don't worry, kid, one of the purposes of building this Floating and Sinking Museum is to avenge your father.
Among the ten swordsmen of Xishu who escorted the emperor to Beijing back then, except for Feng Ju, the other eight people including me were all your father's sworn brothers. It's a pity that there are now five out of the nine people in Xishu. After the battle with King Qin, I became a useless cripple.
Not as good as Fengju! Not as good as that! "
Hua Fengju, who was standing aside, smiled lightly: "Isn't it normal for you to be inferior to me, Hua Fengju?" There are few people in the world who can compare with me back then.
After the death of his brother Yan Linxiao, this old man who was lame with one leg began to set up the Fushen Pavilion. Now, every big city in Wuzhao has a restaurant called "Fushenzui", which is responsible for collecting and selling information from all over the world. Shenlong appears. No end, its ability to collect intelligence is second only to Longyuantai set up by the imperial court.
Yan Longyu asked: "Uncle Gu, I want to know what kind of person my uncle Yan Linyuan, the King of Shu, is."
Gu Beixuan thought for a long time and gave the young man a definite answer: "He is a good man who can't help himself and doesn't mean what he says."
Yan Longyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Before that, the boy was most worried that his uncle, the king of the dynasty, would be related to the death of his parents. Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
Zhang Nu, the swordsman who had been ignored all this time, couldn't bear it anymore and punched the table again. He said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Mr. Gu, you have to say all the words alone. You can also let me say a few words!"
Gu Bei
Hua Fengju felt that the two of them were going to quarrel again, so he simply turned his eyes out of the window.
Zhang Nu ignored the old man from Xishu opposite him this time. Instead, he looked at Yan Longyu and said, "The King of Yanbei asked me to give you a sentence. I must repeat it to you in the tone of the prince. You listen carefully."
Therefore, this powerful swordsman from Yanbei raised his voice and imitated the tone of King Yan and said: "When your mother married into Xishu, the old King of Yan did not allow her family to marry her. Now the old King of Yan is here in Hexi. Go, the prince is hereditary and has become the new king. I miss my sister very much and want to see what the child my sister will give birth to will look like. In fact, who can be an elder brother and not love his sister!"
Before the honest old swordsman, who imitated King Yan Bei, finished speaking, everyone in the wing laughed wildly, causing the old swordsman to hammer the table again.
Zhang Nu said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Are you not allowed to imitate my prince?"
Yan Longyu stood up with a smile on his face and bowed respectfully to the old swordsman, "I would like to ask Uncle Zhang to tell King Yan for me. I appreciate your uncle's kindness, but my parents' bodies are buried in Xishu. I want to Let’s go to Xishu first, and one day Long Yu will go to Yanbei to visit his uncle on my mother’s behalf.”
When the old swordsman heard this, he slapped the table again. The overwhelmed table finally no longer had to suffer and broke into two pieces.
The old man stood up, with a steel-green sword on his back and a cold air on his back. He strode out of the room with a sudden stride, and his rough voice gradually faded away: "I'm going back to do my job! I came here in vain again. What a damn unlucky person."
The county guard Sun Changan had just died, and the city gates were heavily guarded. Yan Longyu was very puzzled as to how this veteran swordsman, who was carrying a big sword and swaggering through the city, could get out of the city.
When the old swordsman walked downstairs, Gu Beixuan pointed to the two young men he had brought and said to Yan Longyu: "These two children are my adopted sons. They are about the same age as you. One is called Mo Fei and the other is He Bi. . If I am not here when I go to Xishu in the future, I will look for these two people if I need anything."
As he spoke, the old man took out another bright red jade pendant in the shape of an inverted jujube and placed it in Yan Longyu's hand. "On the way to Western Shu, the King of Shu will send someone to pick you up. Take this. If something happens to you on the way to Shu, Just take this jade pendant and go to any restaurant with the words 'Fu Shen Zui' on it, and if you need anything, just ask, they will understand after seeing this."
After Yan Longyu thanked him, he did not refuse intentionally and put the jade into his pocket. Suddenly he felt that someone was looking at him. When he looked up, he saw a gentle abacus inlaid with gold on his waist, Mo Feihe, who was gentle and white as jade. He Bi, who has a graceful demeanor and a sharp face, holding a jade and sandalwood paper fan in his hand, is smiling and waving to himself.
Hua Fengju, who had been standing idle in front of the window, suddenly laughed out loud, "Is it possible? Why? Brother Gu! You really know how to name your children! By the way, what are the names of your two sons? Coming?"
Gu Bei Just keep being brothers!”
Yan Longyu was confused.
The old man surnamed Gu seemed to be remembering those years, and a smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life, "I think of us brothers in those days, we had to set a good and auspicious day to have children together. If all the children we gave birth to were boys, then we would be together." We are still brothers together."
"If there is a boy and a girl, hahaha! It's a good time to arrange a baby marriage and become the in-laws in the future."
