Chapter 434 It's getting dark, I want to take him home.
"So, you hit two and won?"
Xu Fengnian raised his forehead and said, "I knew you could fight, but I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting. If I knew this, why would I go to such great lengths to stop Mrs. Deng?"
"Understood." Zhou Ji nodded slightly, thanked, but couldn't help complaining, "But can you put away your regretful expression?"
"Okay, okay." Xu Fengnian nodded perfunctorily, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught Wang Xianzhi who was about to leave, and quickly stopped him, "Senior, please stay!"
Wang Xianzhi frowned slightly, turned to look at Xu Fengnian, an inexplicable alienation flashed across his brows.
Even though the two had never met before, he still felt a kind of familiarity. This familiarity did not bring closeness, but disgust.
"What's the matter?" Wang Xianzhi said indifferently.
"I heard that you were also in the capital on the day my mother was attacked?" Xu Fengnian squeezed between Li Chungang and Zhou Ji, with Li Chungang on the left and Zhou Ji on the right, clearly feeling that Wang Xianzhi was impatient with him, Still holding his head high, he asked confidently.
"At that time, I was indeed in Tai'an City." Wang Xianzhi glanced over the two people beside Xu Fengnian, and landed on the high-spirited Prince Beiliang, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "You doubt my hand?"
"Senior misunderstood." Xu Fengnian cupped his hands and said, "My family investigated and recorded this matter in a pamphlet, but no one has ever regarded you as a suspect."
Xu Fengnian said in a deep voice: "Because we all know that if you really took action that day, my mother would not be able to leave the capital alive."
Wang Xianzhi didn't need to explain to a junior, but for the sake of Li Chungang and Zhou Ji, he still said: "I have nothing to do with her going to the capital."
Xu Fengnian said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask senior, who surrounded and killed my mother back then."
Wang Xianzhi looked at the persistence and sincerity in Xu Fengnian's eyes, thought for a moment and said, "I saw a few people who shouldn't appear in the capital in the past few days, but I didn't bump into them during the battle."
Xu Fengnian already had suspicions in his heart, so he took out a piece of paper that he had prepared a long time ago and handed it out, "Is this person in the capital that day?"
A gust of wind brought the piece of paper to Wang Xianzhi and unfolded it. When Wang Xianzhi saw the name 'Han Diao Temple' written on it, he burned it with his true energy, nodded and said, "He is here."
Sure enough, it was him
The killing intent boiled in his chest, Xu Fengnian closed his eyes, tried to calm his breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the flames of hatred were burning in his eyes, "Who else is there besides him?"
Wang Xianzhi shook his head and recalled: "I don't remember the name, I just remember seeing that the person from Beimang is also in the capital."
"People from Beimang?" Xu Fengnian's tone was a little startled, "A master?"
"Almost." Wang Xianzhi said disapprovingly, "To me, it's all the same."
"The royal family of Liyang united with the enemy country to ambush its own courtiers!" Xu Fengnian gritted his teeth, without concealing his anger, and bowed to Wang Xianzhi, saying in a deep voice, "Thank you."
Wang Xianzhi nodded slightly, and was about to leave when Xu Fengnian called to stop him again.
"Senior, there is one more thing for this junior." Xu Fengnian said anxiously, "What happened on the day senior and Lao Huang fought? Why did the battle report to Longhu Mountain hide the sixth sword?"
This time, Wang Xianzhi ignored it.
Looking at Li Chungang and Zhou Ji's face, it's enough to talk to Xu Fengnian. He has already told Zhou Ji about Jian Jiuhuang. This kid really regards him as a confidant grandfather who answers all questions?
Seeing Wang Xianzhi stepping away in a streamer, Xu Fengnian looked anxious, and took a step forward to stop him, but Zhou Ji pressed his shoulder and stopped.
"Old Zhou, why are you stopping me?" Xu Fengnian looked back at Zhou Ji with a puzzled face.
"I've asked about Lao Huang for you. The battle report sent to Longhu Mountain was actually made by Wang Xianzhi for Zhao Xuansu to read." Seeing Xu Fengnian's increasingly puzzled expression, Zhou Ji looked around, " Let's go, find a place to sit down and talk slowly."
Xu Fengnian was very anxious but could only accept it.
A group of people returned to the wine shop in Wudi City, and heard discussions all around, discussing who would win and who would lose today.
Usually someone would challenge Wang Xianzhi, either on the city tower or in the East China Sea.
Wang Xianzhi was the only one who returned all the masters who went to the East China Sea to fight.
Now that Li Chungang and Wang Xianzhi are all back, the people who can only watch the sky from afar at the beach have different opinions on the outcome.
Zhou Ji threw an ingot of gold to cover the wine shop, Ning Emei and Shu Shuo stood around, Zhou Ji sat down and explained: "At the beginning, Lao Huang went to fight with Longhu Mountain in order to let Zhao Xituan protect Huang Man'er. A transaction was made. That's why Longhushan sent people to watch the battle and record the process of the match."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "Old Huang told me about this before he left. He said that there is an old monster on Longhu Mountain who wants to test Wang Xianzhi's strength."
"That monster is Zhao Xuansu." Zhou Ji said with a smile, "He has lived for nearly four hundred years. It seems that he has achieved a great deal of mystic arts and is rejuvenated, but in fact, there is a decayed spirit living in his seven or eight-year-old body. He wants to find out Wang Xianzhi's strength. The reason for this is precisely to break through the shackles of Shouyuan and ascend to immortality."
"What does this have to do with that battle report?" Xu Fengnian frowned.
"It's all because of that glazed sword." Zhou Ji said with a gloomy expression, "If I hadn't sealed up my true energy, I would have helped Lao Huang prepare the glazed sword for life-saving. That battle report is probably his last obituary."
"As the saying goes, one retaliates." Zhou Ji changed the subject and said with a strange expression: "Wang Xianzhi guarded Wudi City to prevent the opening of the Heavenly Gate. After breaking the sword nine, he felt the power contained in the glazed sword. It was enough to open the gate of heaven, so he knocked Lao Huang down to the bottom of the sea and enjoyed the treatment of the old leader at the bottom of the lake."
“.”
The old man at the bottom of the lake has been able to suppress under Chaohu Lake for thirty years, and survived only by the fish in the lake and Xu Fengnian's occasional feeding. Now it is only a year or two since Lao Huang and Wang Xianzhi fought. No matter how bad the seabed environment is, let him You can swim to shallow water without showing your head, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Fengnian suddenly couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "That's right, the reason why Lao Kui couldn't come out at the beginning was because he tied ten thousand iron chains to Lao Kui's body, and Wang Xianzhi didn't tie the rope to him, so he could have swam to other places and escaped. Well"
Zhou Ji shook his head and sighed, "Thirty years ago, he escaped once."
"It's a big deal to run away again!" Xu Fengnian said angrily, "Traveling for three years, every time something goes wrong, this old Huang runs away faster than me. When Hexi County touched eggs, Lai County molested Xuanyuan That time at Qingfeng, and the time at the time when he stole sweet potatoes outside Lingzhou City, he was the one who did bad things every time, leaving me to blame
What kind of hero are you going to be this time, so you can't get out of the circle if you paint the ground as a prison? "
Xu Fengnian's seemingly complaining tone was actually full of concern, which made Zhou Ji and Li Chungang laugh dumbfounded.
After complaining for a while, Xu Fengnian stood up and asked, "Where is he hiding now?"
The sun sets and night falls.
Xu Fengnian walked a few steps and stopped, looked sideways at the last afterglow that disappeared into the sky, and said softly: "The sun is setting, I want to take him home."
Xu Fengnian's answer did not surprise Zhou Ji, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhou Ji looked at Xu Fengnian's back and said, "Let's go together."
"We're going too." Wei Shuyang and Ning Emei Jade Bird took a step forward at the same time and said in unison.
Li Chungang was taken aback by their unanimous voice. He reached out his hand to pick out his ear and wiped it on his clothes, "It's really troublesome. If I said that earlier, why bother to go to the city?"
"With Lao Huang's character, I'm afraid Xu Fengnian doesn't want Xu Fengnian to see his current distressed appearance." Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, "Otherwise, why didn't he come out to find us after we made such a big commotion?"
Xu Fengnian was silent and agreed with Zhou Ji's statement.
He knew that Lao Huang looked jovial on weekdays, but in fact he really liked face in some places, knowing that he came to Wudi City and still not coming to see him, it was obvious that he was hiding from him on purpose.
Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face and said, "So, we can only find a way to 'catch' him out of the sea."
"you mean?"
Xu Fengnian seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes fell on Zhou Ji, watching him get up and walk to the counter, lift a flagon and throw it at himself.
Xu Fengnian reached out to take the jug, uncorked the bottle and sniffed it, his eyes lit up, "Yellow wine?"
"Have it, enough."
The two looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
The night gradually deepened, and clouds came from nowhere to cover the full moon in the sky. The entire coast looked dark, only the sound of the tide echoing on the beach.
Zhou Ji closed his eyes slightly, his spiritual consciousness spread, and he unknowingly walked to a side branch of the estuary.
Although his spiritual consciousness is strong, it is not enough to cover the entire shallow sea. Looking at the surrounding waters, only the deep water area here allows him to have a vague sense of the true energy in the glass sword.
"If my guess is right, it should be here."
Xu Fengnian took two steps forward, looked down at the dark and mysterious sea under the night, with a wicked smile on his lips.
Wrapping diamond wire around the mouth of the pot, Xu Fengnian first poured half a pot of rice wine on the surface of the water, then corked the remaining half bottle, let go and threw it away.
The wine jug fell into the sea, ups and downs, and finally half-buttoned quietly on the sea surface with the waves.
Shu shyly looked at it, and asked doubtfully, "Can this be done?"
"Shh~" Xu Fengnian turned his head and made a silent gesture for her, Shu shrugged and stepped back a few steps, the surroundings quietly became quiet.
Because it was too late to see the sea surface, Xu Fengnian could only focus on the diamond wire wrapped around the mouth of the pot.
Until Zhou Ji suddenly patted his shoulder, Xu Fengnian didn't have time to think about it, subconsciously circulated his true energy, and lifted the diamond wire with all his strength.
Only heard a familiar yelling, and a hunched and emaciated figure was thrown high into the sky by the diamond wire holding the flagon.
In less than a year, Lao Huang has realized what it feels like to eat fish and feel sick. He finally came across a pot of rice wine that fell into the sea. Protect the jug, for fear that if you accidentally break the jug, you won't be able to drink even a sip.
The bright moonlight shines on the long coastline through the clouds, and the slender and transparent diamond wire shimmers in the moonlight.
Old Huang flew in the air, looking down along the silk thread, the expression on his face suddenly froze, subconsciously turned his head and stretched out his hands to cover his side face, even let go of the rice wine he had already got, and fled into the sea without looking back.
Zhou Ji looked at the running figure of Lao Huang, sighed softly, and did not try to stop him, but the footsteps of Lao Huang who had fled halfway were stopped by Xu Fengnian's "Old Huang".
The true spirit boiled, and the clothes on his body were steamed dry. Lao Huang shook his head, stretched out his hand to brush the bangs on his forehead, turned around and squeezed out a brilliant smile, and waved his hand, "What a coincidence, everyone is here?"
"Yo~ Mr. Zhou, long time no see, you still look good!"
"Is the blue bird there too? That's right, this attire looks much more energetic than the Ruqun I wore at the residence."
"Isn't this Li Jianshen? Congratulations, you came out of the Tide Tide Pavilion?"
Lao Huang walked towards the crowd with a smile, greeted them one by one, and finally saw the broken jug on the ground, smacked his mouth a few times, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you don't know about this jug of rice wine. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
"Old Huang!" Xu Fengnian kept calling Lao Huang's name, but it seemed that Lao Huang didn't hear him, and kept avoiding his sight, talking to others with a smile.
Zhou Ji shook his head, reached into his sleeve, took out a milky white round bottle with a red cap, and threw it into Xu Fengnian's arms.
Xu Fengnian took the wine bottle but didn't know how to open it, so he broke the bottle directly, and the strong aroma of wine wafted out immediately.
Xu Fengnian showed a silly smile on his face, and handed it to Lao Huang without saying anything.
Old Huang smelled the incomparably rich aroma of wine, and he obviously didn't touch a drop, but his blurred vision seemed to be drunk.
If you don’t want to say it, then let’s not say it.
Zhou Ji motioned to everyone's eyes and walked away quietly.
In a blink of an eye, only Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang were left on the coast. Xu Fengnian squatted beside Lao Huang, took out a paper bag from his arms, and threw a pestle at his hand.
Old Huang unfolded it and found that it was some roasted peanuts. Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "It's a bit dull to drink only alcohol. I brought this for you on a special trip before I left the city."
"Hey~ Why are your eyes red?"
"Master. This wine is spicy. Too spicy"
"Quick, quick, eat with peanuts."
(About the cause of Xu Fengnian's mother's death, it was said in the play that the masters from Beimang participated. After a quick check, it should be the screenwriter's magic modification. In order to find a reason for Xu Fengnian to go to Beimang next time to "revenge his mother", the pattern was changed. Lowering it to the level of family hatred, it's like coming to Wudi City this time for 'Lao Huang'.)
(About Lao Huang, I haven’t seen the original work, so I don’t know what the original work is like, but in the drama version, this character is really brilliant, more likable than all the characters, good character design, good acting skills, not many roles but let Impressive. Out of selfishness, Wubi tried to fit the characters of the original drama as much as possible, and gave him a bright ending. I don’t know if it has a sense of the picture.)
