Chapter 426 I believe him.
The boat enters the Lingjiang River, and travels for half a day, and there is a small riverside city built at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
There was a mist on the river, and Zhou Ji had a thought in the misty rain, and raised his eyes to look at the riverside ferry. Several young people in student attire brought a square chair and left in a hurry.
After a while, a glamorous woman wearing a Confucian crown and a Confucian gown came from the misty mountain road, holding a simple long sword, sitting upright with no expression on her face, looking at the river from a distance, waiting leisurely someone arrives.
Zhou Ji is kind-hearted, and he is the most righteous person. He immediately made a small report to Xu Fengnian on the deck: "Xu Fengnian, your sister is waiting for you on the shore with a sword~!"
Seeing that the ship was about to dock, Xu Fengnian was feeling a little uneasy at the moment. Seeing Zhou Ji's narrow smile, he suddenly had a bad premonition, and ran to the bow in a panic, looking forward vigorously.
As the ship approached, the mist gradually faded away. Seeing the familiar figure holding a sword, Xu Fengnian shrank his neck subconsciously, and fled to the cabin with a whoosh, but Zhou Ji grabbed his collar and slipped back. Thinking thoughtfully: "What are you afraid of? She is your sister. At most, she will be cut to death and sent back to Beiliang. I can't really kill you, can I?"
Xu Fengnian wanted to cry, but looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and said with a wry smile, "If you say that, you might as well kill him."
Zhou Ji laughed when he heard the words, Li Chungang heard the conversation between the two and came forward, looked at the back of Xu Fengnian who was pretending to smile and walked towards the shore, hesitantly asked: "Is his second sister so scary?"
"As deep as family love, there is more fear." Zhou Ji sighed softly, then smiled, and motioned, "Let's go too."
Xu Fengnian got on the ferry bridge early, but he didn't dare to go any further. He was relieved to see Zhou Ji and Li Chungang following after him.
Walking around the embankment of the transition bridge, Xu Fengnian's footsteps became more and more brisk. His smirk turned into joy from the heart, and he trotted up to meet him.
Even though Xu Weixiong's expression was still cold and unmoving, the smile on the corner of Xu Fengnian's mouth could not be put away, "Sister~"
‘钟~’
The smile converges, to be precise, it froze.
What responded to his "sister" reunion after a long absence was the Zhengming sound when Jianfeng was unsheathed.
Seeing Xu Weixiong really draw his sword, Xu Fengnian swallowed subconsciously.
Thinking of what Zhou Ji said just now, Xu Fengnian's heart skipped a beat.
Lao Zhou's crow's mouth, wouldn't he really be right?
Die, die, die~~
With the domineering character of the second sister, in order to prevent me from going to Wudi City, maybe she will cut me half to death and send me back to Beiliang.
"Old." Xu Fengnian wanted to call Zhou Ji to save him, but when he turned around, he saw that Zhou Ji was walking the slowest, far behind. He had just crossed the bridge and hadn't finished walking the embankment. Fortunately, Li Chungang heard a lot of "bad things" from Xu Weixiong along the way, and followed Xu Fengnian with a straight face, wholeheartedly wanting to help Jiang Ni out.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Fengnian immediately changed his words and said anxiously: "Senior, save me"
"???"
Xu Weixiong frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Fengnian in surprise, not knowing what illness he had, Xu Fengnian was stared at by this look, and suddenly his hands and feet became cold, and his heart trembled.
"Xu Weixiong has met Mr. Li." Xu Weixiong looked at Li Chungang with Zhengyan, and said coldly: "A sword from Longhu Mountain is deafening. Thank you for your support all the way. This ancient sword, Hong Chi, is specially given to Mr. Li."
The purpose of doing this is to give away swords?
Xu Fengnian wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, stepped forward and persuaded, "Sister, I don't lack swords, keep your sword away yourself."
Xu Weixiong glared at him coldly, frightened Xu Fengnian back a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Your junior only knows how to use swordsmanship but not the way of swordsmanship. This sword in my hand is just a hidden gem."
"The sword is good, and the skill of raising the sword is also good, but the swordsmanship is too full, right?"
Li Chungang sneered, and swept his sword finger, Xu Weixiong only felt that the ancient sword Red Chi came out of his hand like a living thing, blooming a faint red arc, circled around his body, and returned to the sheath.
"After Longhushan, it's the same for me with or without a sword."
Li Chungang's mind flashed the heavenly and earth-penetrating sword pattern that Zhou Ji showed. Although the red Chi is good, it is no more than an ordinary soldier, and it is not even as helpful to him as watching the phantom of the sword pattern.
Xu Weixiong could feel that Li Chungang seemed to be quite dissatisfied with him, but he couldn't remember when he offended him, so he had to cup his hands calmly and said: "Mr. Li's swordsmanship is amazing, which is admirable."
"Look, isn't there a fight?"
At this moment, Zhou Ji came leisurely from the embankment, looked at Xu Fengnian with a resentful face and smiled.
Xu Fengnian's eye muscles twitched, he glanced at him and said, "Whenever, you're still on fire."
"Mr. Zhou." Seeing Zhou Ji, Xu Weixiong bowed his body and nodded, "Fengnian is stubborn, thank you for your support on this journey. I heard that you have been looking for ancient relics. I searched Buddhist and Taoist classics and ancient books in the academy, and learned the secrets from them. Included in a volume, I hope it can be helpful to the young master."
Xu Weixiong pulled out the booklet from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
Zhou Ji was taken aback for a moment, took the book and said, "Thank you."
Everyone exchanged some pleasantries, Li Chungang, who had been feeling angry all the time, couldn't help but said, "I heard that you bullied Girl Jiang?"
The originally happy atmosphere immediately became dull with Li Chungang's angry reprimand.
Xu Fengnian saw that it was broken, and was about to explain, but Xu Weixiong raised his chin proudly, and admitted without hesitation: "There is such a thing."
Hearing this, Li Chungang couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward and raised his voice a little bit, without concealing the anger in his heart, "Don't look down on her?!"
This is the first time Xu Fengnian has seen Li Chungang so 'angry', coupled with the second sister's unyielding character, Xu Fengnian really feels helpless to cry but has no tears.
"Old Zhou, you are still laughing~! They are about to fight."
Xu Fengnian glared at Zhou Ji, and said with a mournful face, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have provoked him with the conflict between Jiang Ni and Second Sister."
"I think Li Jianshen just wanted to help Jiang Ni get ahead, and he wasn't really angry, so he shouldn't be able to fight, right?" Xu Fengnian had never seen it before, and Zhou Ji didn't expect Li Chungang to react so strongly, he said in a somewhat uncertain tone, " Maybe?"
Facing Li Chungang's menacing questioning, Xu Weixiong was not afraid, and still had a haughty expression, and said as it should: "Since ancient times, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, aunt, and sister-in-law have been at odds, so it may not be that those mother-in-law and sister-in-law are all villains. Husband's good, my mother left early, I have no choice but to be the villain."
As soon as this remark came out, there were waves and thunder in the flat ground.
The angry aura immediately vented, and the expression that had been stern all the time stretched out, and he said dumbfounded: "So, you also think Jiang girl and this kid can be a couple?"
Xu Weixiong glanced contemptuously at Xu Fengnian, who was frozen beside him, and said with a sneer, "Just the two of them? Pigs can tell."
"Look, I can't fight." Zhou Ji shrugged, turned his head to look at Xu Fengnian, but saw Xu Fengnian turned around and sat on the dike, covering his face with his sleeves, looking ashamed to see others.
Sister-in-law's disagreement is a family matter, as long as someone stands on the side of Jiang Ni and Xu Fengnian, it will be the united front of Li Chungang, the number one fan. After squinting at Xu Weixiong, he feels that he is not lying. : "Well, I was going to vent my anger on Jiang Ni, but I can't do anything after you say that."
"But we still have to talk." Li Chungang said with an emphasis, "Xu Weixiong, you have good qualifications, but you still can't compare to Jiang girl!"
Xu Weixiong turned to look at Xu Fengnian and said, "Don't cover your face, did you hear what we just said?"
Xu Fengnian put down his sleeves and retorted: "I told you that."
"What does Jiang Ni's swordsmanship have to do with me?" Xu Weixiong glanced at Xu Fengnian and said, "It's not me who will lose my husband in the future."
Li Chungang laughed, his attitude changed 180 degrees, and he said kindly: "You are really interesting, Xu Xiao is really lucky to have you children."
Xu Fengnian murmured in a low voice: "When I transform the Da Huang Ting into the Qionghua mentality that Lao Zhou taught me, how can it be possible for my husband to be weak?"
"In addition to Da Huang Ting, you will. Jiang Ni also learned from me and Li Jianshen. With her aptitude, she might be able to catch up with you someday." Zhou Ji joked seriously.
Jiang Ni's qualifications have been double certified by Li Chungang and Zhou Ji.
Recalling the 'bullying' that Jiang Ni had received from his side all these years, Xu Fengnian's expression froze, and a sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart. How can I get revenge?
"What are you muttering about again?" Xu Weixiong looked at Xu Fengnian, his tone was cold and calm, but to Xu Fengnian's ears, it sounded more terrifying than a scourge.
"It's nothing." Xu Fengnian straightened his body and smiled apologetically, "By the way, sister, why are you waiting for me here? Did you know we were coming?"
Regarding Xu Fengnian's stiff change of subject, Xu Weixiong said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, we'll discuss it at my residence."
Xu Fengnian originally wanted to ask Li Chungang and Zhou Ji to come together, but Xu Weixiong spoke first: "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhou, I have sent someone to arrange a place for the two of you, and Xu Fengnian and I have family matters to discuss, please forgive me for a while. "
"Senior Li has helped me a lot along the way, and Lao Zhou is my best friend. They are not outsiders." Xu Fengnian wanted to fight, but Zhou Ji took the initiative to rebuff: "Your siblings haven't seen each other for a long time, and you want to talk about some family matters , I won’t go there.”
Xu Fengnian turned to look at Li Chungang.
Li Chungang came to meet Xu Weixiong to help Jiang Ni out. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, and he also knows that Xu Weixiong supports Jiang Ni and Xu Fengnian, he is even less interested in what they are talking about. He waved his hand and said, "I won't go either."
"You guys"
If you don’t come here, wouldn’t it be me who bears the pressure of the second sister’s aura alone?
Xu Fengnian pointed at the two with trembling fingers, with a bitter expression as if he was identifying a 'traitor'.
"Fengnian." Xu Weixiong walked two steps, saw that Xu Fengnian didn't keep up, and called out.
Xu Fengnian let out an 'oh', obediently following behind Xu Weixiong like a child.
"Boy Xu!"
Li Chungang suddenly remembered something, stepped forward to stop Xu Fengnian, and borrowed a talisman from him.
Seeing the two walking away, Li Chungang spread out his palms in front of Zhou Ji, and the amulet turned into a stream of light and flew away, hiding in the depths of the clouds, hiding in front of the window where Xu Weixiong and Xu Fengnian were talking.
Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect that Li Chungang had the skill of 'eavesdropping'. Li Chungang devoted most of his thoughts to manipulating the magic charms to eavesdrop, and said concentratingly: "Xu Weixiong tried to send a sword, and talked with Xu Fengnian about family affairs. I always feel that something is wrong. Something is wrong."
Zhou Ji had already planned to leave, but seeing Li Chungang trust him so much, he split his consciousness in half in front of him.
If an expert from the Celestial Phenomena Realm or even the Profound Realm appeared to assassinate him, even if he cut off his thoughts and resisted, Li Chungang would be seriously injured if he survived.
Shaking his head, Zhou Ji reached out and took out a recliner from his sleeve and put it beside him, sat down, and said with a smile, "Then do you hear anything strange?"
Li Chungang closed his eyes slightly, and sank his consciousness into the talisman. The wind was howling, the clouds were lingering, and on the cliff, Xu Weixiong went to the window and looked out a few times to confirm that the annoying guy was not there, and then closed it. For the window, hang the copper bell in front of the gap in the window sash.
"Do you know what are the two most eye-catching things in the world right now?" Xu Weixiong sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea for Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian took the tea with a puzzled expression.
"One is that Li Chungang will come to Wudi City again." Xu Weixiong said in a deep voice, "Everyone is guessing that he will fight Wang Xianzhi again to avenge the broken sword."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Senior Li and Wang Xianzhi have no enmity, he didn't take the matter of the broken sword to heart."
"Will this battle happen?" Xu Weixiong asked softly.
Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "It's possible."
"Then do you know what this means?" Xu Weixiong said softly, "There are rumors that the Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a is also rushing to Wudi City. Why do you think he rushed to Wudi City?"
"Watching the battle?" Xu Fengnian asked curiously.
"At the ultimate level of martial arts, there are rumors of ascension. Although there are rumors that Qi Xuanjiao, the former head of Longhu Mountain, ascended to the heaven, it is difficult to distinguish whether the matter of ascension is true or not." Xu Weixiong said softly, "But one thing is certain, if Li Chungang and Wang Xianzhi fight with all their strength, maybe they can open the gate of heaven and have a chance to ascend."
"So Deng Tai'a also wants to take this opportunity to ascend to heaven?" Xu Fengnian hesitated.
"And at that time, you happened to be in Wudi City." Xu Weixiong looked at Xu Fengnian with a cold expression, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "If these three fight in a melee, who can save your life?"
"Old Zhou." Xu Fengnian subconsciously said without thinking.
Xu Weixiong shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that he will also fight for this opportunity to ascend?"
"Sister!" Xu Fengnian heard Xu Weixiong's implication, and looked at her seriously.
"I know that when you met, you had never learned martial arts, and it was even more impossible to take Li Chungang to Wudi City together, but today is different." Xu Weixiong sighed, "The opportunity to ascend is so precious to warriors. Once the gate of heaven is opened, you Can you guarantee that he will still consider your safety in the face of such an opportunity?"
"I believe in him."
