[Jianwang 3] You have not returned yet

As soon as Chunyang left, there was no further news. He thought he would receive a letter to tell him he was safe, but Zangjian never received one.He didn't know where Chunyang was, who he was looking for, and where he was going. Zang Jian wrote many letters to him, but he couldn't send any of them.

Holding the sword manual, Tibetan Sword practiced every move and every style diligently every day. The moves of Tibetan Sword Villa are already complicated, not to mention that Tibetan Sword still learns moves by itself without anyone teaching it.Although the process is difficult, Cang Jian has always believed that as long as he works hard, he can eventually win Chunyang.Holding this belief, Zang Jian, who concentrates on practicing martial arts, forgets the passage of time, one day, one week, one month, or one year...

Hidden sword stroked the epee, standing in front of the wooden house, waiting for the blue and white figure.

He knew that he was beginning to miss Chunyang.Chunyang who made delicious food for him, Chunyang who taught him how to hold a sword and how to use moves, Chunyang who healed himself and complained about his stupidity after he accidentally injured himself in practice...

He's been away for so long, and he's been alone for so long, I really miss him...

From the second day after he left, I was afraid that I would start to miss him.

Wanhua Valley is not like Chunyang Palace with ice and snow all year round, nor like Cangjian Villa with four distinct seasons, where birds are singing and flowers are always fragrant, spring and green trees coexist. Cangjian almost forgot how long he had been waiting. Just wait for someone like him.

Zang Jian knew that Chunyang didn't stay here for nothing, he was waiting for someone who hadn't returned, and what he was holding in his hand were the accessories of the disciples of the Lijing Yidao of Wanhua Valley, and the books he occasionally read also included some books learned by the disciples of Wanhua Valley. In his eyes, bypassing his own figure, he saw another person, a disciple of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.

He is here to wait for his important person to come back, so why is he waiting here?Waiting for someone important?Or just to fulfill a vow?

Zang Jian lowered his head, realizing that he actually didn't know it at all.

Until one day, Cangjian sat on a stone bench and wiped Qinghou in his hands. On the stone table was the news about "Yuqing Xuanming" found by the brothers and sisters from Cangjian Villa. It should have been extremely peaceful One day, when Ke Zangjian raised his head, he found a little child stumbling towards him from the sea of ​​flowers. Zang Jian, who liked to take care of little junior sisters since he was a child, rushed over without thinking.Fortunately, there were only some scratches on her body. Zang Jian helped the weak girl up and was about to take her into the wooden house to heal her wounds, but the little girl shook her head weakly, and her small hands squeezed the clothes on Zang Jian's chest tightly.

"Please...go save...go save General..."

The girl raised her hand and pointed to the depths of the sea of ​​flowers. There was no movement there, and the flowers of various colors swayed slightly in the wind. There was nothing wrong with it, but the child in her arms pointed firmly to the depths of the sea of ​​flowers. Tibetan sword had to take the girl Going back to the house, he turned around and raised his epee and rushed to the depths of the sea of ​​flowers.

In the huge sea of ​​flowers, Zang Jian rushed towards a place as if he had a feeling, as if he felt something there, this feeling surprised even Zang Jian himself.But the facts tell him that this feeling is not wrong, the dark red figure in the depths of the sea of ​​flowers is a bit dazzling, the eight-foot gun in his hand and the still cold silver armor on his body make Zangjian a little dazed.

Why are people from Tiance Mansion here...

The person lying on the ground was silent, his breath was weak as if it would disappear in the next second, the silver armor and robe on his body were covered with faint bloodstains, and the hidden sword suddenly panicked, usually it was Chunyang who healed himself , now there is an injured person lying in front of him, but he doesn't know what to do with him.With the idea of ​​trying, Zang Jian walked forward.

However, just as he took a step forward, the person who was lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, knelt on one knee and stood up tremblingly holding the silver gun in his hand. Panting heavily, those eyes stared vigilantly at the hidden sword like a wolf, arrogantly not allowing anyone to approach at will.

The wolf of the Eastern Capital, I am afraid that this arrogance will last forever...

Zang Jian did not approach, he knew that approaching at this time would only make things worse, Chunyang had taught him to be calm in everything, not to be too impatient, Zang Jian suppressed the urge to reach out to him, and continued to wait and see the situation, maybe , he just wanted to tell Tiance that he wanted to help him.Not long after that, Tiance still couldn't hold on, the excessive blood loss and exhaustion made his eyes go dark, the hand holding his wife no longer had the strength, and he fell forward.

After a long time, Tiance recalled that the embrace of the golden figure that embraced him at that time was extremely warm.

Just like when Chunyang picked up Tibetan Sword in Huahai, this time Tibetan Jian also picked up a wounded wolf in Huahai, but this wolf is a bit unusual.

Tiance was going to Yangzhou, passing through Luodao, he was very careful in the place where poisonous people gather, but unexpectedly saw a girl fall into the hands of poisonous people.Although Tiance is strong in martial arts, he still has unhealed wounds from the battlefield not long ago. To protect the little girl behind him while fighting with a large group of poisonous people, this has already exceeded Tiance's ability, adding to the old wounds... With a new injury, Tiance, who led the little girl out of the siege, failed to recognize the direction of the horse, and stumbled into the wrong direction. The horse under him led the two of them into the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers by mistake...

The little girl told Cang Jian like this, her clear eyes didn't seem to be lying, Tiance fell into a coma for nearly three days due to over-fatigue, Cang Jian rejoiced that the medical books he had read around at the time healed Tiance's wounds according to the above effects, and it really helped. It worked.Although the wound he bandaged was ugly, and the soup he cooked was very bitter and strange, Tiance complained or dissatisfied a little, which made Zang Jian, who was a bit self-blaming, finally relax.

Time flies by in the Valley of Thousand Flowers. When Zang Jian raised his head, there was nothing in the blue sky. In this Valley of Thousand Flowers, which is like spring all the year round, Zang Jian really almost forgot the change of seasons and the passage of time.

The person he was waiting for still didn't come back.

"What are you looking at?" After a long period of recuperation, Tiance was able to get out of bed and move around. As soon as he went out, he saw Zang Jian staring at the sky in a daze, so he suddenly planned to be childish and scare the naive Zang Jian.

"Ah... don't, don't scare me, can you?!" Facts have proved that the effect is indeed very good, and the sword manual of Zangjian almost slipped from his hands in fright. In order not to let others laugh at him, Zangjian blushed quickly Lied, "I'm just looking at the sword manual."

"Sword manual?" Tiance glanced at some yellowed books in Zang Jian's hand, frowned, then walked into the room without saying a word, Zang Jian turned around wonderingly, but saw Tiance took out a gun, Finding a relatively flat place, Xiang Zangjian smiled strangely, "Come, pick up your sword and compete with me."

"What?! Wait...your injury..."

"It's not in the way anymore, it's time to move your muscles and bones, and if you lie down again, your martial arts will almost be useless."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zang Jian smiled helplessly, stood up and took the epee stuck in the bluestone road, walked up to Tiance and set up a position, "My moves are very ruthless, you have to be careful Slightly."

"Okay, let the horse come here."

He said so, but the healthy Tibetan sword resolutely started lying down on the ground and couldn't get up after losing to the injured Tiance for the seventh time.

Tiance slowly sat next to Tibetan Sword, with the penis inserted aside, the tassels adorning it swayed slightly in the wind.Zang Jian rested his head with his hands, he didn't want to get up even if he didn't look at Tiance, he looked like a child, Tiance smiled and brushed the short bangs on his forehead.

"You, there is no difference between light sword and heavy sword. Once you use your moves, you will mess up. If you panic, you will be messed up. No matter how good the moves are, of course you will not be able to use them, let alone defeat me." Tiance said patiently. Then, the Tibetan sword in front of him was almost exactly the same as he used to be. He swung the gun randomly, thinking that he could protect himself. Practice it yourself. Why don't you go back to Hidden Sword Villa, your master and brothers and sisters can teach you better swordsmanship."

"...Zixia told me before going out that I should stay here honestly. I can't leave here. I have to wait for Zixia to come back."

"Zixia? Who is that? Are you waiting for him here?"

"Yes... it's the disciple of Chunyang Palace who was with me before. I'll wait for him to come back here. He just went out to find someone. It won't be long..."

"Wait, how long have you stayed here for him? You didn't even return to the villa because you were waiting for him?! Young master, are you kidding me?!"

"I was serious."

"..."

"I will wait for Zixia to come back, and I still want to defeat him, even...even if I have to wait here forever, I will wait! Zixia will come back!"

A gust of wind blew up and messed up Tiance's slanted bangs on his forehead. There was a light in Zangjian's eyes that he had never seen before, whether it was youth and frivolity, ignorance, or hypocrisy, which made Tiance stunned for an instant.It seems that some things must have been predestined.Tiance didn't speak any more, just stood up and picked up the silver gun.

"It's impossible for you to beat him like this," Tiance finally understood why there were so many swordsmanship books about Chunyang in the wooden house, and it was probably left by that Chunyang disciple named Zixia." Before my injury heals, I will stay here and teach you some basic techniques of swinging a sword."

"Eh? You will..."

"Don't ask too many questions, just follow me obediently." Tiance smiled and walked towards the wooden house.

Zang Jian has always thought that Tiance's smile is very beautiful, maybe this is a little inappropriate to describe a man, but it is different from Chunyang's smile, Tiance's smile is very warm, making people unconsciously want to get close.At least Tibetan Jian believed so.

they are different...

Zang Jian picked up the epee, but there was still no one coming from the gate of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, he turned around, followed Tiance's pace, and didn't look back.

Nian'er sat obediently on Zangjian's cross-legged lap, holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Zangjian had just made, and Zangjian slowly tied up Nian'er's hair, just like how it was given to the little junior sisters. Her hair is neatly combed into double ponytails, and the clothes sent by her senior sister from the villa fit perfectly. Now she is only short of a light sword and epee. look like.

Nian'er stood up and turned around on the spot. His playful appearance reminded Zang Jian of the group of noisy junior sisters in the villa. He hadn't seen them for a long time. Are they doing well?

I... How long has it been since I went back to the villa and left Wanhua Valley?

"All ready?" Tiance put on the silver armor and there was a sound of metal rubbing when he walked. Zangjian turned his head, and Tiance, who turned into a general, made Zangjian very unhappy. □□, or that complicated silver armor, Zang Jian actually frowned a little annoyed.

"Well, everything is ready," Cang Jian carried Nian'er onto the horse's back, and jumped on the horse himself. The white horse under him snorted excitedly. After staying in the valley for a long time, it also began to miss the days of running outside. "Then, I will bring Nian'er back to the village. Even though her name has been written on the roster of disciples of Hidden Sword Villa, I still have to let her go back to meet the owner of the village. Besides, she is now alone and without any help." Family, it would be great to have playmates back in the village, it's not fair to her to stay here with me..."

"...Then how long are you coming back here?" Tiance got on his horse and walked towards the entrance of Wanhua Valley together.

"It's time for me to go back and have a look. I've been away from the villa for so long. Not only my brothers and sisters, but Ye Fangzhi's uncle will also be angry. I'm afraid something will happen if I don't go back. But... I will come back as soon as possible. If Zixia comes back, I can't find her. What should I do, tell me right."

Tiance clenched the rein in his hand, not knowing how to respond to Hidden Sword's words.

He wanted to say, can you stop waiting, in this quiet sea of ​​flowers, in this isolated valley of thousands of flowers, you are about to miss your most beautiful things in order to wait for an unknown tomorrow.

You've already been waiting for me, so can you stop waiting.

But these words could not be said after all, the girl in Zang Jian's arms had already fallen asleep, Zang Jian smiled softly, and hugged Nian'er tightly to prevent her from falling.Tiance patted the horse's neck, dappled sunlight poured down, he slowly raised his hand, but it was unbearably warm, and then, the two of them would part ways eventually.

"Then general, let's leave here." Cang Jian smiled and didn't call him by his name again, but changed his name to "general".

"Ah... um, okay..." Tiance withdrew his hand and hurriedly responded.

Zang Jian kicked the horse's stomach, and drove away into the distance. The golden figure disappeared around the corner without even looking back.Tiance stopped on the spot, the horse flicked its tail and neighed, Tiance had no intention of moving forward.He seemed to be waiting for something, but also seemed to be looking forward to something, but only after a stick of incense, Tiance finally turned his horse's head and rushed towards the direction of Tiance Mansion.

The horse's hooves stepped on the fallen leaves, making a slight crisp sound. Tiance raised his hand and took out a gold-encrusted hair rope with shining white jade and pearls from his bosom. At a glance, he knew it belonged to the son of a rich family.Tiance recalled how anxious he was when he hid his sword this morning and searched everywhere for this hair rope. His long black hair was scattered behind his back, and his elongated bangs somewhat blocked his fiery eyes, but he couldn't find it after searching everywhere.Of course he couldn't find it, if the hair rope was hidden deliberately by someone, he would definitely not be able to find it, because Tiance knew that a Tibetan sword with a kind and simple heart would not doubt the people around him.

Tiance tightly held the hair rope in his hand, tied it up carefully, and put it into his coat so that he wouldn't be afraid of it falling off.

Just now... I just waited in place for a stick of incense, and I couldn't wait any longer.But the young master, who was so lively that day, stayed in that small wooden house, in the depths of the sea of ​​flowers isolated from the world, waiting for someone who didn't know if he would really come back.

This obsession, I'm afraid I can't clear it up with the whole life of pure yang.

Thinking of this, Tiance kicked Aima hard in the stomach, and rushed to Tiance Mansion.

A gentleman is like the wind, hiding the sword in the West Lake.

The Tibetan sword raised his hand and brushed over the stone tablet engraved with the four characters "Zangjian Villa".

"Master, master..." Nian'er trotted all the way to Cangjian's side, she jumped up the ridge lightly, and came to Cangjian's side.

"What's the matter? Could it be that Nian'er wants to eat candied haws again?" Zang Jian came back to his senses, put the light sword into its sheath, put on one knee, and hugged Nian'er with one hand.

"That's not true. Nian'er is not that greedy. It's just that Nian'er heard from Master Fang Zhishu that Master will be leaving the villa for a while. I don't know if it's true..."

"I do have to leave the village for a while. Nian'er must listen to his brothers and sisters, and don't bother the owner of the villa. Be good and don't cause trouble."

"Where is master going, how soon will he be back, Nian'er doesn't want to leave master..."

"I'm going back to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, it shouldn't be... long. You're a good boy, and I don't trust you, but as a disciple of my Hidden Sword Villa, you must learn to be on your own. Besides, there are so many playmates here, Are you willing to leave them? Nian'er is obedient, work hard to improve your swordsmanship in the villa, and Master will bring you candied haws when he comes back."

"Candied haws?! If the master keeps his word, Nian'er will be obedient, and the master will come back soon, so Nian'er must practice swordsmanship obediently, but..."

"only?"

"Nian'er doesn't understand. Nian'er thought that the master left the village to see the general."

Tiance.

After years of this reminder, Tiance's face immediately appeared in Zang Jian's mind, he slightly parted his lips, and almost blurted out his name, the eight-foot sword with tassels, the silver armor that radiated cold light, the fiery red armor... The robe, and that warm smile.

How is he?Will he still suffer a lot of injuries?Or is he protecting Datang's land on the battlefield?

Zang Jian smiled and pinched Nian'er's pouty face.

"Okay, Nian'er is not angry. I know he is your savior. Nian'er cares about him and wants to see him, but he is a general and very busy. How about this, after I finish the matter, I will go to lie down with Tiance Mansion, look at your lord general, tell him that you miss him very much, maybe he will come to the villa to see you as soon as he is moved."

"Really?! Thank you Master!"

Nian'er smiled and gave Zang Jian a big hug, his long ponytail swept across his cheeks and itched, seeing the person in his arms so happy, Zang Jian also chuckled.

It's just that I don't know how long it will take to go...

Zang Jian put down Nian'er slightly, and watched her run towards fellow disciples of similar age, Nian'er waved his hand in the distance, and the group of children ran away and disappeared.

This kind of scene, so familiar, made Cang Jian want to cry.

Zixia...

Have you ever returned to Wanhua Valley?If not, where are you?

Will you come back... Will you come back to me...

Thinking of this, Zang Jian couldn't help but look forward to it. The horse under him seemed to sense the master's mood, and he raised his hooves and rushed towards Wanhua Valley desperately.And after a period of time, the hidden entrance of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley is not far away, but Zang Jian can clearly see a black horse galloping towards him in the distance, and the person on the horse, Zang Jian recognized it at a glance—— Eight feet long, cold light silver armor, dark red robe, whoever is the driver if not Tiance.

Actually... can still meet...

"I didn't expect to meet you again." Zang Jian was taken aback for a moment, Tiance's first words when he came to his side seemed to be answering his own question, the joy in his tone made even the horse under him afraid. Can also hear it.

"...Why are you here?" Cang Jian frowned, never expecting to meet Tiance here.But in order to conceal the excitement in his heart, his tone was very slow.

"Oh, you're really indifferent," Tiance smiled, and his slanted bangs were slightly blown by the wind, "You can still be so calm when you see old friends, should I say you are indifferent to the world, or should I praise you, young master?" The more mature and stable you are, is it worthy of the Southern Emperor Gold Clothes on you?"

The scrutinizing eyes of Tiance made Zang Jian feel a little embarrassed, and Zang Jian blushed slightly and turned his head away, but Tiance laughed out loud.This time back to the villa, thanks to Tiance's guidance on his swordsmanship, he actually passed the test given by his uncle Ye Fangzhi, and became a powerful member of the villa.Zang Jian lightly clenched the agate necklace he was wearing, raised his head and smiled gratefully at Tiance, but it only made Tiance confused.

"Anything is fine, follow the general... as you please." Zang Jian smiled slightly, kicked the horse's belly and walked forward, Tiance also turned the horse's head to follow aside, "Is Tiance's mansion so idle? Let you be allowed every day Run around."

"I finally finished handling the military affairs, and I want to go out and walk around. I can't bear the fact that my life is only on the battlefield. Besides..." Tiance looked sideways, and he could see the handsome side face of Tibetan Sword, with long bangs on both sides. The face on it is very pretty, "I miss you a little too, so I plan to come to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley to try my luck and see if I can see you again."

"You won't blush when you say that..."

"Hahaha...Compared to this, young master, your face is so red now!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Tiance finished speaking, Tibetan Sword pulled out the heavy sword from behind and swung it over without hesitation. If Tiance hadn't been fighting all the year round, he would be able to dodge the slashing move immediately. .

I haven't seen you for a few months, I didn't expect this kid's swordsmanship to improve...

Tiance quickly grabbed the silver spear behind him, blocked it with his backhand, and caught another sword swung by the hidden sword. Both the gun and the sword wailed. Zhiyan Duanchen bestowed by the Lord, he blocked it with his hand, and the horse under him seemed to know what the person on him was thinking, and immediately opened the distance between the two of them.

"Next time, get your head ready." Although the words were powerful and domineering, the blush on his face and the slightly pouted expression almost made Tiance unable to hold back his laughter.

"Yes, yes, my young master, I can't afford to offend you." Without the demeanor of a general, he said this like a commoner in the city, Tiance smiled, and put his silver gun back behind him, "Now that I am capable, I have a bad temper I'm also irritable, and I'm still the weak and obedient person I used to be, easy to bully."

"What are you talking nonsense about?"

"It's nothing, but it's really wise for you to come back to the villa. Your swordsmanship has really improved by leaps and bounds. Perhaps, you are really a martial arts prodigy, but if you stay like this in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, you..."

"You say that means I can defeat Zixia, right?"

"Eh... what? Beat him?"

"That's right, I was really naive in the past. It's not an exaggeration if I can't beat Zixia. But now it's different. I want to beat Zixia with the sword in my hand... so I can prove that I am He is more powerful than Zixia, and he has the qualification to protect him, so that he can be with Zixia forever."

"...That's why you... practice your sword so hard?"

"Of course, I don't care about the Martial Master or the Famous Sword Conference. Those things are not important at all. All I need is... to be qualified to stand by Zixia's side."

"...Are you an idiot?"

"what?!"

"The sword in your hand should have a more important meaning and mission. It's actually for this kind of thing... It's really boring."

Cang Jian was slightly taken aback when he heard these words, he didn't expect Tiance to say such absurd words to himself with a straight face, he planned to ask again, but Tiance galloped away, so Cang Jian had no choice but to struggle chased after him.
