Someone once said: Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately!
Liu Ruosong was not surprised that Qin Keqing left, but she was already dead, and her body was returned to Wansong Villa.
When Liu Ruosong saw the corpse, he had no sadness, no sadness, and no tears. He only had fear, deep fear, unspeakable fear.
He thought Qin Keqing's death was caused by Ding Peng.
In fact, Liu Ruosong has not yet reached the moment of despair, because he is a disciple of the Wudang Sect and he still has many friends. He can return to Wudang to seek refuge, but he does not want to do so.
Because his grudge with Ding Peng must not escalate. If his fellow Wudang disciples knew about it, he would lose his qualification as the leader of Wudang; and he was reluctant to part with this family property, let alone the reputation he had earned through hard work for more than ten years. .
Just when he was hesitant or about to make up his mind to return to Wudang, he met a woman named Lanlan.
Lan Lan told him that she was Ding Peng's wife, and Lan Lan also told him that she knew the secret of Ding Peng's sword skills.
…
On December 15th, it was just after the Xu hour and it was almost the Hai hour.
Dusk falls and the full moon rises slowly. The night is beautiful tonight.
The splendor and splendor of the Full Moon Villa is simply beyond everyone's imagination, and more guests came to the Villa today than everyone imagined. Most of them were curious about who Ding Peng was and what the owner of the Full Moon Villa had. How capable.
The guests in the hall are all famous people, but in the water pavilion in the backyard, there are not many people. Not everyone can enter the Water Pavilion. The status and reputation of the guests of the Water Pavilion are not comparable to those of the guests in the hall.
Lingxu is naturally qualified to come to the Water Pavilion. He is the top disciple of the Wudang Sect. He is already fifty-two years old this year, but his appearance looks older than his age.
His daily life of simple food, asceticism, vegetarianism, and abstinence made him look older.
Compared with other people's fresh clothes, the Taoist robe on Ling Xu's body was just made of coarse cloth. He seemed to have nothing to show off, but the sword in his hand aroused everyone's awe.
An ancient sword with a crude pine pattern has already shown his status. He is most likely the next leader of Wudang.
Sun Fuhu, the lay disciple of Nanzong Shaolin, Lin Xiangxiong, the chief escort of the eight escort bureaus in the six provinces of Jiangnan, Nangong Huashu of the Nangong family of the four great families, Zhong Zhan, the famous swordsman, as well as Plum Blossom and Mozhu...
Ling Xu recognized these six people. Since Old Man Meihua and Mo Zhuzi are here, Qingsong Swordsman will definitely be there too.
Ding Peng arrived, and everyone in the water pavilion suddenly looked at the owner of the villa...
He was young, he was very proud, and he was very stylish. This was the first impression Ding Peng gave them. Then he glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and left the water pavilion again.
Some people began to become dissatisfied. In their opinion, Ding Peng was too arrogant and seemed not to take them seriously at all.
Some people snorted, others sneered, and the most dissatisfied among them was an old man.
This old man was sitting on the main seat. He was tall, and although his hair was all white, his face was red. He ate a lot of meat and drank a lot of wine. No one could tell that he was actually eighty or ninety years old.
The reason why everyone asked him to sit in the main seat was not entirely because of his age. "The King of Swords and Axes" Meng Kaishan was very respected in his early years, but he retired thirty years ago.
The younger generation may guess that he retired because of old age, but the older generation knows the reason why he did so.
After a while, the master returned to the water pavilion.
There are two guests beside Ding Peng. Everyone here has not been greeted by the host personally, including Ling Xu and Meng Kaishan. Who are these two people?
A man and a woman came.
The man has a strange and peculiar appearance. He clearly looks like he is only in his twenties, but he has silver hair... He has long sleeves and white clothes, and the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, as if he is smiling slightly, and his slender eyes are also smiling, which makes people laugh. I feel that he is a cynical young man.
The woman's splendid feather coat highlights her graceful and slender figure. Her lotus steps are free and elegant, her flowing cloud-like hair falls on her shoulders as if they were cut, a layer of gauze covers her face, and her eyes are as clear as water.
When the two walked into the water pavilion, it suddenly became unusually quiet. Wherever there are people in the world, they either fight or brag about each other, but now everyone is looking at this man and woman.
They were surprised, they were curious, they were disdainful. After looking at the two of them for a short time, they started eating and drinking again, but the two of them did not move or speak. In an instant, their clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
Meng Kaishan was nearly ninety years old. His originally red face had turned pale, and every wrinkle on his face seemed to have deepened. His eyes revealed a fear that was unique in the world.
The intensity of this fear almost suffocated him and made it difficult for him to relieve himself.
Besides him, the other person was Zhong Zhan. He had seen him in Maple Grove thirty years ago. He had seen that sword. He had seen how miserable human life was under that sword and in that man's hands. of fragility.
Zhong Zhan lowered his head and never dared to raise it or look at that person again. Now he just wanted to drink and get himself drunk; but his hand suddenly couldn't even pick up the wine glass.
No one noticed the change between the two of them because their attention was already attracted by another thing.
A magnificent and luxuriously decorated sedan was carried by eight people through the garden and stopped at the end of the Jiuqu Bridge outside the water pavilion.
Ran Ran glanced at Ding Peng and said with a smile: "You should be busy, we are just here to watch the fun today."
Ding Peng smiled and said: "Then you are free to do whatever you want. Today's excitement will definitely not disappoint you."
Ranran sat down with Qingqing, and by chance, he sat next to Meng Kaishan. There are three seats at the main table, which were originally designed for the two of them and Mr. Xie who was not here.
A clear voice asked: "He seems to know you."
He glanced at Meng Kaishan, who was almost paralyzed on the ground, and said, "I have indeed seen him. That year in Maple Grove, he was the oldest and the smartest. He was the fastest runner at that time."
Qingqing looked at Meng Kaishan's appearance and found it funny.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and a soft and boneless hand stretched out from the sedan. Liu Ruosong was holding this hand, and then a woman walked out of the sedan.
This woman is Lan Lan, a woman who is as charming, weak, and touching as Qin Keqing, but even younger. Many people saw this woman, and their expressions became strange after seeing this woman.
When Ling Xu saw Liu Ruosong and this woman, he immediately darkened his face and walked over.
"Take her back with you."
Liu Ruosong asked: "Why?"
Lingxu said sternly: "She is not your wife. No matter what you do outside, you should not bring this woman here."
Liu Ruosong suddenly smiled and said: "It's not her who should go back, it's you! If you kneel down, kowtow to her to apologize, and then go back, I might spare you."
