Strange Tale of Qingluan

The mountain is high and the road is steep, and Shangyuan Hexiang is walking on the winding mountain path. Behind her are several black-clothed and masked disciples of the Mufeng Club. Someone is carrying a chain, and the end of the chain is locked. It was He Xiao's hands.

He Xiao was extremely embarrassed. After coming out of Xiangdong Pavilion, he was chained like a cow and sheep along the way. Although there was water to drink and delicious food to eat on the way, he was already accused of crimes. The charges against him are not small, it is the number one crime of Mufeng Society!Therefore, it must be brought back to the main helm and let the head handle it.

The mountain path winds up, and when everyone looked up, they saw the towering Qingtian archway of Mufeng Society. Shangyuan Hexiang blurted out: "It's here, Xunlan! Go and report to the head first." After falling, a man in black immediately walked out of it. The man nodded, jumped up, and galloped away along the mountain path.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you so anxious to see me executed?" He Xiao said dissatisfied.Shangyuan He Xiang snorted and looked back at him, "I wanted to watch you do everything possible to take back the position I took from you, but it's a pity that you are useless at all and let me down for nothing. expect."

He Xiao laughed a few times, then gave a piss, and replied: "Wrestling wits and courage with a woman like you hurts my dignity! I drink flower wine and Xiao Yaozi is even better than fighting with you!" Shangyuan He Xiang's face was calm, he snorted lightly, and replied coldly, "Drinking flower wine, Xiao Yao's fate is what you are now, just wait and see how the master handles you."

The man seemed very calm, but he was a little scared in his heart. He used to make mistakes in front of Huang Yan many times, but because none of them were fatal mistakes, Huang Yan also bypassed him many times. Taboos make it difficult to predict the results you will face, and the sense of fear is lingering.

Shangyuan Hexiang waved his hand and signaled the men in black to move on. They walked a further section of the mountain road and finally came to the majestic gate of Shenrao Villa. In the lobby, seeing the headmaster Huang Yan standing in front of the honored seat, Shangyuan He Xiang bowed his hands to him and called him "Father".

Huang Yan put his hands behind his back and slowly turned around. As always, he was wearing a mask to cover his true face. When he cast his eyes on He Xiao, the man broke out in a lot of cold sweat involuntarily, and his sense of fear suddenly rose several times.Huang Yan spoke calmly, and said to Shangyuan Hexiang, "Xunlan said, Tianli was brought back by you because he committed a serious crime. What crime did he commit?"

Shangyuan He Xiang truthfully reported, "Yes, he committed a taboo crime. Last time someone accused him of being in love with the enemy. Now the evidence is solid and true. He Xiang dare not punish such a serious crime without authorization, so he put People brought it back and gave it to the adoptive father."

"Tianli!" Huang Yan stared at He Xiao with a flat gaze, but He Xiao was secretly panicked.He hurriedly knelt down and responded to Huang Yan in the old-fashioned way, "I don't! Dad! I really don't!" Huang Yan looked up to Yuan Hexiang, "One of you said yes, and the other said no, what is going on? "

Shangyuan Hexiang reported again: "The purpose of the Qingluan city's city lord to come to Xiangdong Pavilion was to meet him. After the meeting, he ignored the face of his family and asked the wall to report to the Qingluan city's city lord!"

Huang Yan sat down, and when he heard it, he became serious, "What! The lord of Qingluan City broke into the Xiangdong Pavilion? Then why didn't you take the opportunity to arrest him!?" Shangyuan Hexiang had already expected that once he told the details, Huang Yansheng was sure to get angry, and quickly explained: "Father, I was going to catch him, but unexpectedly he brought a master with him. The master possessed thaumaturgy, and He Xiang was just an ordinary person who knew swordsmanship. Nothing to do with him."

"Who is that expert?" Huang Yan questioned.Shangyuan Hexiang answered truthfully, "I remember, the lord of Qingluan City called him Gonghe..." Huang Yan was stunned, "Gonghe..." Then he laughed, "It's only natural that you can't beat him, Because in the world, only I can fight against him!"

Shangyuan He Xiang repeated the old saying, "Father, what should I do with Li that day?" As he spoke, he squinted at He Xiao, the man hummed lightly, and turned his face away.Huang Yan replied: "It's just my fault for being negligent in discipline. I shouldn't have let him be in the place of fireworks. If it's just a momentary aversion, I can spare his life."

When He Xiao heard this, the sense of fear fell instantly, and he secretly pleased himself, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, father!" Huang Yan's voice rose again, "But you have become a surname from alcohol, and you will lose face if you continue like this. Just order someone to cut off half of your surname, and then you will be a good person, and don't make me lose face by messing around again!"

After he finished speaking, he called a man in black and whispered something in his ear, the man in black nodded, He Xiao looked at it, but couldn't understand it.As soon as the man in black returned to his original position, Huang Yan got up and walked out of the lobby.

"Master Zi, please go to the bedroom!" The man in black raised his voice to his companions, and they led He Xiao out of the hall and went straight to the bedroom.He Xiao asked as he walked, "Hey! What did the headmaster say just now?" The man in black laughed a few times, and said, "Master Zi will naturally know after he goes to the studio."

He Xiao was puzzled. When they got to that type of room, they fixed him on the wall and bound his hands and feet tightly with chains. He Xiao tried to break free for a while, but couldn't break free, then looked away. The bald man who was roasting the sharp blade was puzzled and said: "Hey, bald boy, what are you going to do with me?"

The bald man turned his head, his eyes were very sharp, and there was a cross scar on the left side of his face, looking very fierce.He only glanced at He Xiao, and didn't answer in silence. After a while, he stood up, picked up the sharp knife on the fire, and while looking at the knife, he ordered other people in the room, "Pe Ku Zi."

One of the Zhuangshuo men walked up to He Xiao, and his sister opened his belt and pulled his belt off.When He Xiao saw it, he seemed to come to his senses, and shouted: "You... how dare you! I don't want to become a eunuch! Let me go!" The man in the Zhuangshuo advised him, "Master Zi misunderstood, the meaning of the master is just 'Cut off half', and keep the other half, which is not bad."

"Half is not enough! I want to see the head! Let me go to see the head!" He Xiao shouted, struggling, and the people in the room were not moved at all.The bald man was very calm, holding a kerchief in one hand and a cloth towel in the other, turned around, and said to the strong man beside him expressionlessly, "Take care of him, don't let him move around."

The man immediately caught He Xiao to death, the bald man walked over, put the cloth towel into He Xiao's mouth, then squatted down, reached He Xiao's cross summer with his left hand, raised the sharp knife with his right hand, and chopped it down quickly.He Xiao wanted to yell, but he couldn't make a sound. The pain hit the top of his head, and after a moment, he passed out.

The bald man stood up, walked to the basin, threw the blood blade into the water, and washed his hands in the water.Someone picked up the things that fell on the ground, wrapped them up, and asked him, "What should I do with this thing?" The bald man replied with a blank expression, "When Master Zi wakes up, I'll give it to him as a souvenir." .”

Other people in the room walked up to He Xiao, unchained him, carried him together, and sent him back to his residence.He Xiao woke up after being in a coma for a day and a night. When he moved a little, there were bursts of pain coming from deep down. He couldn't help but beat the edge of the bed hard, and cursed, "These bastards! How dare you do it...how...huh! Half of it is my life! This will tell me how I will gain a foothold in the world in the future! These bastards...I will definitely...can't spare them!"

On Yangui Island, in the Murong Villa, Su Zhongming and others were strolling along the path when Yang Bin said, "Just let us meet this man once, just for the first time, and he won't lose a piece of flesh. Moreover, if you are a real gentleman, you won't hold grudges because of this little disturbance."

"You say it like this, it looks like you admire him very much." Wu Yan smiled, just thought it was funny.Seeing everyone laughing along with him, Yang Bin felt embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "What admiration... I'm just like everyone else, I just want to take a look at this person, to see if I've met him on a narrow road before."

Wu Yan restrained himself, and replied: "Okay, anyway, if he gets angry, he won't get angry with me, so I'll take you to him." Then he led everyone back for a while, Turn to the path on the left, and then step into a yard planted with many banana trees. On the stone bench on the right, there is a young man sitting there concentrating on playing the erhu.

The man, with long and narrow eyes, a straight nose, full lips, and bronze skin, looks handsome, but surprisingly, he always has a bookish spirit. He didn't notice that someone came in, bowed his head, and was still intoxicated by his own music. inside.

"Is this the guy who played the song? You're so young!" Ye Shuangshuang couldn't help admiring, Fei'er beside her looked at the man and nodded, but Yitian didn't think so, he murmured to Su Zhongming: "Cut! Elder sister Xiaoyao is stronger than him. She's a girl. She'll only do this when she sees a handsome man. Teacher, don't you think so?"

When Fei'er heard this, she felt very dissatisfied. She turned around and raised her voice to retort: ​​"That's not true! Because I've never seen such a young man play the erhu so well. Comparing Sister Xiaoyao with others, how sad it would be for Sister Xiaoyao to find out!"

"I...I...huh!" Yitian was speechless for a while to fight back, but turned his face away.Their voices just reached the man's ears, Su Zhongming raised his right index finger and gave a soft hiss to his lips, but it was too late, the erhu's voice stopped abruptly, replaced by the man's question "Who came in without a word?"

Wu Yan replied: "The new guests at home insisted on coming over to see who is playing the erhu here. I'm really sorry to disturb you. Go ahead, I'll take them away."

"No need, since the piece has already been interrupted, there is no point in continuing to play it." The man stood up, put away the erhu, then looked at the crowd, and said, "It's really rare for Murong's family to have guests today." !"

Wu Yan replied, "They are all people my cousin knows. My cousin came back today and brought them with me." The man walked up slowly, "Oh? So you have another cousin, I thought You are the only junior in your family..."

"I only found out today. The third uncle told my father, but he didn't tell me about it. He quietly brought him back and told me. I wasn't prepared at all." Wu Yan replied, and while talking, he forgot The people behind them complained slightly to the man.

The man said, "The lack of preparation is only temporary. From now on, your house will be lively, and you will no longer play alone, and you will not sneak out to play like last time. "

Wu Yan answered one-on-one with him, chatting very familiarly, after a long time, he remembered that there were guests behind him, looked back at them, and hurriedly introduced them, "By the way, you don't know him yet, do you? He is Xiyutai The uncle who is in charge of the sect saved my life once! This time, he came to visit my house to see me."

"Tian Sun Qingming?" Su Zhongming couldn't help blurting out in a low voice, thinking in his heart: It's really a narrow road for enemies. He bumped into me once in Lantern Square before, but now we met him again, and met him again on Yangui Island. However, Looking at him like this, it seems that he didn't know that he had bumped into me.

Tiansun Qingming heard his whisper to himself, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency must have been to Xiyutai? There are always a lot of people from the world who go to Xiyutai. I really don't know who you are. Please forgive me."

"No, I haven't been to Xiyutai. I just heard about your name when I was wandering in the wind and rain. I have never met you in person. Please forgive me." Su Zhongming replied.When Sun Qingming heard the words, his face was just plain, and his answer was also very plain, just four words, "I see."

The author has something to say:

Although there are many supporting roles for passers-by

but as a sleep book it should be ok

It feels so cold this winter

I don't know if it will be warmer during Chinese New Year

In a few days, I will have a medical checkup early in the morning...

An understatement--

The more disturbing things are, the more you have to wait

The more afraid you are, the more you can do it right away

The more courageous you are!
