Chapter 49
King Miaojiang is going to marry Xi He, the younger brother of Long Zhan, the lord of Longcheng, in the Jialuo Hall of Xiangyang City. This amazing news spread like wildfire overnight, and the whole world immediately boiled. Gathering, ready to watch the excitement, Nuoda's Xiangyang City was overcrowded for a while.
Xi He, known as the No. 20 in Jianghu, has been missing for [-] years, and his life and death are uncertain, but his reputation has never been forgotten by Jianghu.The previous generation of martial arts seniors occasionally talked about this person with a secretive look, while the new generation of rising stars have a strong curiosity about this person.It's just that no one thought that [-] years later, he would appear again, and it was still in such an unexpected way.
The rivers and lakes were shocked, and the Wulin was in an uproar, but at this time, there were two places that were still peaceful, one was Longcheng, and the other was Xiaoyaozhuang.
After a few days of closed-door recuperation, Mo Ruchu's injuries are mostly healed. He has never known the news of Xi Qing's disappearance, but because he was afraid of affecting his physical recovery, Long Er kept keeping this matter from him. Knowing everything, it seemed that he couldn't hide it anymore, so Long Er told him what happened.
Mo Ru's color changed when he heard it for the first time, and a pair of sharp sword eyebrows suddenly frowned even deeper. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Where's Brother Xi?"
"He's practicing."
"Is there any progress?"
"He has made rapid progress, he has already practiced the seventh level of the Art of War, and now even I am no match for him!" Long Er couldn't help but admire him when he said this, "Brother Xi has a very high level of understanding, he is a genius, and With a calmness that surpasses his age, his achievements in the future may be higher than yours."
"He can hold his breath." Mo Ruchu pondered, and asked again, "Where is Long Zhan? Is there no movement?"
"No, no one can figure out his temperament, but I don't think he will stand by and watch this matter." Having said this, Long Er looked at Mo Ruchu complicatedly, "You... are sure that person is Xi Qing ?”
Mo Ruchu slowly shook his head, "I'm not sure, he and senior brother are so similar, whenever I think of senior brother over the years, two identical faces always pop up in my mind, making it difficult for me to tell them apart. "
"Didn't you see his face?"
"He doesn't want to see me at all."
While they were talking, a young servant brought in a big red gilt post. Long Er took it and opened it for a glance, his heart was filled with anger immediately, and he turned around and threw the big red invitation on the table, "They sure as hell It’s a person who is King Miaojiang, and he even delivered the post to his door, it’s just hateful!”
Mo Ruchu picked up the post and glanced at it, "The wedding is tomorrow? What a quick move!"
Long Er snorted, "The Central Plains is the world of Long Zhan. This King Miao dares to come to provoke him. I admire him a little bit."
Mo Ruchu pondered, "He must be fully prepared for doing this, but the person he targeted this time is Long Zhan. Tomorrow, we will wait and see what happens, and wait for the opportunity to save people."
"But your injury hasn't healed yet, tomorrow..."
"Long Fei." Mo Ruchu interrupted him suddenly, staring at his eyes seriously with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice, "No matter who he is, if there is good or bad, you don't have to save my life. gone."
Hearing the words, Long Er felt stuck in his throat, stared at him blankly for a long time, but didn't say anything more.
It has been three days since Xi Qing disappeared. During these three days, Xi Cang only slept for three hours. He practiced martial arts and swords day and night, and even substituted clear water for three meals a day. Not a trace of happiness and excitement.Since he left the mountain, he and his master have never been separated for so long. These short three days are longer than three years. In this torment of worry and self-blame, he understood one thing, he wanted to protect the master , to become stronger, so strong that no one can take Master away from him.
As soon as he approached the courtyard, he felt a strong sword energy wandering around in the courtyard. Xi Cang didn't eat any food and practiced kung fu day and night. Long Er saw it in his eyes, and then looked at the invitation in his hand, sighing silently Tone, in fact, he got reliable clues from Longcheng on the second day of the person's disappearance. It's just that he didn't want to act rashly when he didn't know the other party's intentions. That's why he didn't disclose the news. Now...
"Brother Xi."
Seeing that it was him who came, Xi Cang quickly put away his sword, "Any news?"
Regarding Long Er, Xi Cang was still on guard in his heart because of his relationship with Long Zhan, but at the same time he also chose to believe in him, only because he believed in Mo Ruchu. He also had to rely on him. In the past three days, Long Er had been looking for him in the future, and now that he came, there must be news.
Long Er handed him the big red invitation card in his hand.
Xi Cang accepted it in doubt. After reading the content of the post, his complexion suddenly sank. He almost couldn't restrain himself from splitting the invitation in two. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xiangyang Jialuo Hall? King Miaojiang?"
"That's right." Long Er said, "The king of Miaojiang is named Wu Man, and he seems to be about the same age as me. It was reported that he secretly sent people to the Central Plains, and it seems that he has a plan, but I didn't expect him to come in person. He arrested your master and Xiao Qi to make it clear that he was targeting Long Zhan, and now he dares to send a post, I am afraid he came prepared."
Xi Cang frowned deeply, exuding a sharp and threatening chill, and said in a cold voice, "Even if he prepares mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will go and rescue Master back." After speaking, he raised his sword and was about to leave.
Long Er hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Xi, don't worry, this Miaojiang man is good at poisoning, even if your martial arts are world-class, you will be hard to guard against. We need to discuss this matter again."
Xi Cang clenched his fists tightly, slightly suppressing the anger in his heart, "Does Second Brother Long have a good strategy?"
Long Er pondered, "Long Zhan has also received the invitation. I don't know if he will go tomorrow. If he goes, then there is a [-]% chance of saving people this time."
"Long Zhan is going too?" Hearing this news, Xi Cang's heart sank again. If Long Zhan knew about Master's existence, what would happen to him?
Long Er knew that there was a grievance between their master and apprentice and Long Zhan, but that King Miao came from a bad person this time, and he didn't know how powerful he was. If he wanted to rescue him unscathed, it really needed Long Zhan's help. Otherwise, the chance of success may only be half based on their own strength. "It is not known whether the Dragon War will go or not. Anyway, Ruchu and I will accompany you to save people tomorrow. I have also studied poison for a while. At that time, you can be more or less prepared, and you must not act alone."
"Brother Mo is going too?" Xi Cang frowned, "How is his injury?"
Long Er sighed, "That little injury is nothing to him, you don't have to worry about him, even if you have only one breath left, he will not hesitate to save people."
Xi Cang lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"Jiangling is still some distance away from Xiangyang, we have to leave overnight." Long Er said, patting his arm, "I know you are worried about your master, but you have not slept or eaten for three days, you should eat something Take some rest and recover your energy, maybe there will be a fierce battle tomorrow."
Xi Cang nodded.
Long Er turned around and was about to leave. He remembered something again and turned around to remind him, "Your kung fu is improving rapidly, but you should not go too far in everything. Haste makes waste. If you are too eager for success, you may go crazy."
"Thank you, Brother Long, for your suggestion."
Not long after Long Er left, a servant brought several tubs of steaming bath water. Xi Cang came behind the screen, looked at the large tub, and remembered the scene of serving Master to take a bath every day. Thinking of seeing Master tomorrow, a trace of eager anticipation flashed in those gloomy eyes.After bathing, the servant brought a table of sumptuous food and wine. Xi Cang had no appetite at all. He ate a few chopsticks indiscriminately and was taken away. Back in the inner room, he hugged his master's soft sword and clothes and fell on the bed. I fell asleep on the couch that still smelled like my master.
In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the Sleepless Mountain. The top of the mountain was icy and windy, and the sky was full of snowflakes. It was all a piece of crystal white, and at the junction of the white sky and the earth, a white man in white was walking slowly. Fluttering figure.
"Master?" Seeing the stunning face approaching him step by step, Xi Cang felt ecstasy in his heart, and flew up to him, "Master! It's really you!"
The man in white looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled all over the city. In an instant, even the world was ashamed, "Cang." He only heard him call out softly again, and his tone was even more gentle than ever.
"Master?" Xi Cang looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, and was stunned stupidly, because of the smile he had never shown, and even more because of the tenderness he had never shown.
The man in white looked at the handsome man who was a head taller than himself, stretched out his slender fingers as white as jade, gently stroked the dull eyebrows, and said softly, "You have grown up."
"Master..." Xi Cang stretched out his hand in a daze, and covered the cold palm on his cheek, "Am I dreaming?"
The man in white smiled and remained silent.
Xi Cang's eyes were slowly stained with moisture, and his words were choked up, "It doesn't matter if it's a dream or not, whether it's a dream or not, as long as you have Master's company, this life is enough."
"You don't regret it?"
Xi Cang shook his head slowly, and said firmly, "Never regret it!"
The man in white smiled and gently stroked his other jade-like palm on his eyebrows, and said slowly, "You will not leave, and I will not abandon you."
"Master?" Xi Cang's deep pupils dilated instantly, "Really? Are you serious?"
The man in white nodded slightly.
Xi Cang was overjoyed, his whole body trembled with excitement, "Master, I like you!"
"I know."
"I like it very much! I like it very much!"
"I know."
Xi Cang suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged the person in front of him tightly, wishing to rub him into his own flesh and blood, and make each other completely integrated, "Master, how about we stay on the Sleepless Mountain forever?"
The man in white gently wrapped his arms around his waist, and replied softly, "Okay."
"Master..." There was another low call, full of tenderness, Xi Cang slowly raised his head, and then slowly lowered his head, his hot lips gently pressed against the cool softness.
Extremely tender, lingering, nostalgic.
