Teacher! Mr. missed class again today [Comprehensive Martial Arts]
Chapter 22 Across the Rivers and Lakes
Not long after the end of the Dragon Boat Festival, a news spread throughout Heimuya—the leader Dongfang Bubai announced his retreat, and temporarily handed over the power of the sect to Tong Baixiong, the elder of Fenglei Hall, and gave him the right to make decisions in times of crisis. The other elders and hall masters on the cliff assisted from the side to deal with the big and small things in the church.
Heimuya, the unbeaten family of the East.
Tong Baixiong was puzzled and said: "Brother Dongfang, just how long after the sect has settled down, you are leaving Heimuya to venture into the rivers and lakes. What is the reason for this?"
Dongfang Bubai twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "I have already issued a hunting order. Xiang Wentian is now being hunted down by the entire Sun Moon God Sect. Unless he can go to sea, it is only a matter of time before he is caught." .Being forced to do so, he must take some action, and I choose to "retreat" at this time, just to see what he will do."
But he didn't mention the relationship between this matter and Jiang Yunlou.
With his hands behind his back, he said confidently, "Brother Tong, just wait and see. As for the academic affairs, I will leave a red note. Many of the arrangements for this seat are arranged by her. If you have any problems, you can order her." that is."
Hong Jian blessed the body silently at the side.
Tong Baixiong glanced at Hong Jian, and sighed a little angrily: "Well, although I am impatient to take care of these things, since you have your own plan, then I can only follow it."
He also knew that Xiang Wentian suddenly had a big fight with Ren Woxing and left Heimuya in a fit of anger, but for some reason now, Xiang Wentian actually sent someone to try to kidnap the holy lady—yes, he was captured from the restaurant Finally, the sneaky man couldn't stand the Xingtang's tricks, and called out the words Xiang Wentian—but why did Xiang Wentian start to fight against the divine religion?After the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, Tong Baixiong pondered for a long time by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong. He suddenly slapped his thigh——
"What the hell!"
Since Brother Dongfang wants to kill Xiang Wentian, no matter what the reason is, he, a good brother, should stand by Brother Dongfang at this time!
After figuring this out at home, Tong Baixiong was going to Dongfang Bubai's house immediately. Before he left, the news that Dongfang Bubai was going to retreat spread all over Heimuya, followed by the whole sect. Or sincere or hypocritical congratulations - the right to arbitrate in times of crisis?This is almost the treatment of the deputy leader!
Tong Baixiong immediately pushed away the crowd and went straight to the top of the Black Wood Cliff. When he arrived at Dongfang Bubai's house, he saw that he was going to retreat. He had packed his luggage and was going down the mountain to tour the rivers and lakes!
Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was so confident, Tong Baixiong was sure that Xiang Wentian would do something, he sighed heavily, waved his hands and said, "Go ahead, Tong has no other skills, but if someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, he will He still has the ability to unscrew his neck!"
Dongfang Bubai smiled gratifiedly, "Thank you, Brother Tong."
On this Blackwood Cliff, the one who is really loyal to him is only a boy Baixiong, and in such a huge Sun Moon God Sect, there is no one worthy of sincere friendship...
A cyan figure flashed before Dongfang Bubai's eyes.
He lowered his eyes lightly.
That person... can't be regarded as a member of the Sun Moon God Sect.
A few days passed in a flash.
On the day of departure, Qu Yang and Jiang Yunlou met under the sycamore tree on the hillside of Heimuya.
Qu Yang had been waiting under the phoenix tree alone for about a quarter of an hour, and he looked a little out of his mind. When he saw Jiang Yunlou, he smiled wryly.
"What about the priest?"
Jiang Yunlou led the horse and walked over, and replied in a relaxed tone: "It is said that they are waiting for us at the foot of the mountain, and Elder Sang is also there."
Qu Yang stroked his beard and sighed, "That's right, Elder Sang was sent to deal with the sub-helm again. Speaking of which, it's a smooth ride with us. We should be able to walk together for three or four days."
Jiang Yunlou carefully looked at Qu Yang's face, and slowly suppressed the relaxed smile on his face. He hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Senior, do you find it difficult?"
Ever since he told Qu Yang that Dongfang Bubai was going with him, Qu Yang had been hesitant to speak, and Jiang Yunlou realized that Qu Yang's friend seemed to be inconvenient to let him know. Hierarch see?
This is something he didn't think about.
First, he promised Qu Yang to go to see Qu Yang's confidant together, and then he agreed to travel with Dongfang Bubai. Under the joy, he forgot to ask Qu Yang if it was convenient, which caused such an embarrassing situation.
After hearing Jiang Yunlou's question, Qu Yang's first thought was—what Jiang Yunlou could detect, the leader must have already noticed it.
The leader has always been suspicious, and he must have doubted the identity of his "confidant". Maybe the leader went down the mountain with them, and it was a bit of a test on him?
No, not at all.
He has a lot of experience, and he has some prestige on the Blackwood Cliff, but the leader doesn't use him very much. Instead, he makes him an idle elder. He doesn't think the leader will go down the mountain himself because of that little doubt. Temptation, with the temperament of the leader, it would be impossible for the Zishan guards to inquire secretly.
Qu Yang smiled wryly: "Brother Jiang, to tell you the truth, this matter is difficult. My confidant is... well, he is a member of the Five Sacred Sword Sect."
Jiang Yunlou was slightly surprised when he heard the words. He had also heard about the bad relationship between the Five Sacred Sword Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect. It is said that there was a big battle between the two sides a few years ago, and many masters were killed and injured. The Five Sacred Sword Sect Since then, his vitality has been severely injured, and he regards the Sun Moon God Sect as an enemy of life and death.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, Jiang Yunlou said apologetically, "I didn't think about it."
Qu Yang waved his hand and said: "Paper can't hold fire, we have a private friendship, in fact, sooner or later it will be exposed... Forget it, forget it, I don't blame you, it's my hesitation that dragged it until today to treat you Said. Let's go down the mountain to see the leader."
Jiang Yunlou nodded, and comforted him: "The leader is indeed cautious and suspicious, but he is not unreasonable. Besides, we all know the temperament of Senior Qu. You two are confidants, and presumably only confidants. , Senior has never done anything to betray the divine religion."
Qu Yang heard this and sighed: "With your words, even if the leader really doesn't forgive Qu, Qu will be happy today."
At the foot of Heimuya Mountain, Sang Sanniang had already led twenty or thirty people ready to go, and Dongfang Bubai, who was dressed in bright red, was leaning in the carriage, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
There were no other divine disciples around, presumably someone had cleared the place in advance, so that the passing disciples would not see the leader who was supposed to "retreat" appear at the foot of the mountain—as for the reason for clearing the place, just find one.
Seeing Qu Yang and Jiang Yunlou coming, Sang Sanniang laughed loudly: "You two are slower than the leader!"
Dongfang Bubai opened his eyes, glanced at Sang Sanniang lightly, and then looked at the two people who came down from the mountain.The two men each led a horse, and immediately put their respective burdens on them, and they didn't bring any attendants with them.
Jiang Yunlou smiled at Dongfang Bubai who was lazily leaning on the carriage, and then his eyes fell on Chengbi who was standing quietly beside the carriage, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
He packed his bags yesterday and asked Cheng Bi to go back to the leader's place to meet up with the leader. He didn't want to say goodbye last night, but today he met again at the foot of the mountain.
Chengbi smiled brightly, and bowed to Jiang Yunlou, and Jiang Yunlou understood that she was brought by Dongfang Bubai.
So he touched his nose and smiled at Chengbi.
Sang Sanniang was riding a horse with a heroic figure, and her tone was a bit more heroic than ordinary women: "I will part ways with you in the next town, but Elder Qu, where are you going? I just asked the leader , the leader actually said that he didn’t know either.”
Qu Yang just smiled wryly.
Dongfang Bubai leaned on the carriage, raised his eyelids when he heard the words, and said lazily: "Elder Qu, just tell me, which mountain are you going to go to?"
Surprised all four.
Sang Sanniang was taken aback, and her expression immediately became extremely strange.
Dongfang Bubai stroked the non-existent folds of his clothes, and said in a flat tone: "Since we communicate with each other through rhythm, I don't care about you. It's just that you take care of yourself. The group of hypocrites and old antiques of the Five Sacred Sword Sect may not be as crooked as we are." air."
He smiled lightly, and there was a careless sarcasm in the smile, thinking that Dongfang Bubai didn't have a good impression of the Five Sacred Sword Sect.
Qu Yang was silent for a moment, then solemnly said: "Thank you, Master."
Jiang Yunlou also breathed a sigh of relief. He led the white horse, walked slowly to the carriage, and praised sincerely: "Dongfang has a good heart."
After hearing this, Dongfang Bubai glanced at him with a smile, and said to Chengbi who was beside him, "What are you doing in a daze?"
Cheng Bi hurriedly stepped forward, untied Jiang Yunlou's burden immediately, and put it on the carriage.
The horse in Jiang Yunlou was also familiar with her. The horse rubbed against Chengbi docilely, and let Chengbi unpack her luggage.
Qu Yang let go of a stone in his heart, and his face became much more relaxed. At this moment, he took a closer look at Jiang Yunlou's horse, and said in a good mood: "It really is a good horse."
Jiang Yunlou's horse is all white without a trace of variegation. The mane on its neck is long and soft. The saddle on its body is beautiful gilt gold, and its eyes are even more radiant. Because it has not been out for a long time, it looks particularly energetic.
Jiang Yunlou rubbed the horse's head: "I've been detained for almost a year, and I can finally go out. It's happy today."
Dongfang Bubai teased lightly: "According to me, your horse is not the only one who is happy."
Hearing this, Jiang Yunlou laughed heartily.
"The East knows me!"
Seeing them talking and laughing, Sang Sanniang managed to suppress her surprise.That's all, that's all, since the leader doesn't care about Qu Yang and... having friends with people from the Five Sacred Sword Sect, she has nothing to say.
Everyone had arrived, Dongfang Bubai finally got up, picked up the bamboo hat that was put aside, put it on, and got out of the carriage.
Chengbi placed the burden, and seeing that Dongfang Bubai moved, she immediately brought a horse for Dongfang Bubai. Before Bubai became the leader, Tong Baixiong gave Dongfang Bubai a horse.
Dongfang Bubai rode his horse neatly and neatly, wearing a red dress, his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
"Departure."
So this group of people set off from the foot of the Blackwood Cliff.
Jiang Yunlou, Dongfang Bubai and others walked in front of the team, while the other divine disciples and carriage goods fell behind them not too far away. According to Sang Sanniang, these goods were to be transported to the sub-helm To go, the goods are heavy, and the journey is naturally slow.But after a few days, they parted ways, and Sang Sanniang left with most of the manpower and goods, and the leader's side relaxed.
"Speaking of which, Cheng Ying is very reluctant to part with you. When she heard that you were going down the mountain, she kept asking me when you would come back. I asked her to ask you personally, but she didn't want to."
Sang Sanniang said.
Jiang Yunlou also showed a bit of reluctance when he heard this. He and Cheng Ying were destined, and they both saved each other's life. Because of Jiang Yunlou, Cheng Ying escaped from Li Mochou, and because of Cheng Ying Ying, Jiang Yunlou was brought back to Heimuya by Sang Sanniang, and met these friends of the Sun Moon God Sect.
He solemnly said: "I will go back to see her."
Sang Sanniang smiled slightly: "Then I can rest assured."
I didn't even ask him when he would return to Heimuya, people in Jianghu are very open-minded, if they say there will be a day of goodbye, then there will always be a day of goodbye, just wait with peace of mind.
Dongfang Bubai walked in the front. After hearing this, he turned his head slightly and stared deeply at Jiang Yunlou. Jiang Yunlou was keenly aware of Dongfang Bubai's gaze. He also looked at the man in red and smiled at him. smiled.
He smiled a lot today, especially brightly, and it seemed that he was indeed in an unprecedented mood.
Dongfang Bubai silently turned his head back.
Qu Yang watched the small interaction between the two, stroked his beard, and casually brought up the topic: "I heard that Ping Yizhi went back to Kaifeng, did he treat Brother Jiang well before he left?"
Jiang Yunlou smiled and said: "He has checked my pulse, and before he left he angrily promised that he would find a way for me."
However, he didn't take these words to heart, maybe because he believed that his illness could not be cured, he didn't care much about the result of Ping Yizhi, so he shook his head and said: "It's also thanks to the leader, I have been in good spirits for the past few days, I don’t feel cold, and I seldom cough.”
Qu Yang smiled and reminded: "Brother Jiang, when you are away from home, it is better to call the leader by another name, otherwise you will expose your identity and we will be in trouble."
Jiang Yunlou thought for a while, and tentatively asked, "Then, Dongfang?"
Qu Yang shook his head and said: "Although the leader's surname is not unique, it is not a common name after all. Coupled with the leader's high martial arts skills, it is different at first glance. It is not appropriate, but it is still not appropriate."
Sang Sanniang interjected with a smile: "For us, we can just call you young master. As for how to call you, why don't you discuss it with young master?"
As he spoke, he winked at Qu Yang.
Qu Yang laughed out loud, and sure enough, he didn't make any more suggestions.
Jiang Yunlou then took a look at Dongfang Bubai who was walking in the front, seeing that he was just on his way, and wondering if he had heard their conversation, he made the horse speed up a little, catching up with Dongfang Bubai's speed in a few steps .
"East, what do you think?"
Dongfang Bubai glanced sideways at Jiang Yunlou, and shook his head generously, expressing that he had no idea.
Jiang Yunlou sighed pretendingly: "Yes, you haven't given me a name for that song yet, so how can I expect you to have a good idea."
Dongfang Bubai sneered: "It's really courageous."
His tone was slightly smiling: "Besides, that song is already my song, not yours."
Jiang Yunlou said: "Okay, your own song, of course, you can name it whenever you want."
He rubbed his nose, silently thinking about the title of Dongfang Bubai, the surname of Dongfang Bubai is indeed a bit special...
Dongfang Bubai himself didn't really care about this, and he could tell that Qu Yang and Sang Sanniang's proposal meant a lot of teasing Jiang Yunlou. ranks.
Dongfang Bubai said solemnly: "You are still a gentleman on Heimuya, but it's just a name, how can you be troubled? Since the word Dongfang is too eye-catching, just make up an ordinary name."
Jiang Yunlou said awkwardly: "I'm really not good at this, even if I take it, you must not like it."
"Oh?"
Jiang Yunlou said: "For example, my horse... This is the horse that my master gave me on my birthday. He said the horse is called Li Feisha. It's just that I don't think it sounds good, so I decided to name it, and I saw that it was full of blood. It is as white as snow, as beautiful as the clouds in the sky, so I named it Floating Cloud."
As if he could understand human speech, Ma'er snorted unhappily when he heard the word Fuyun.
Jiang Yunlou paused, then continued: "...I called him Fuyun, but it never paid me any attention, probably because it didn't like the name I gave it."
Dongfang Bubai thought in his heart that this man's temper was so soft that he could even bully a horse, but seeing him grabbing the horse's mane and looking very fond of it, he could only laugh in his heart.
Only such a person can still keep a sincere heart.
——But I don't know if such a heart, soaked in the big dyeing vat of the rivers and lakes, will change color one day?
He said in a flat tone: "Forget it, there is no need to change your words, you can call it whatever you want, there is nothing shameful about my name."
Dongfang Bubai sat firmly on the horse, with a calm expression on his face: "...Longevity."
Jiang Yunlou, who hadn't been called the word "longevity" for a long time, paused for a while, then relaxed his eyebrows, and responded with a smile: "Oh."
After a long time, Dongfang Bubai seemed to have a little more smile on his face under the bamboo hat.
……
…………
The group walked for about a day, stopped halfway and had a simple lunch at a roadside tea shop, and arrived at a small town in the evening.
The town is far less prosperous than the town under the Black Wood Cliff, but because of the frequent caravans passing by, it is not cold, and the arrival of Dongfang Bubai and his party is quite normal.
This place is not too far away from Heimuya, so it still belongs to the sphere of influence of the Sun Moon God Sect. Sang Sanniang entered the town and found an inn with familiarity. After a brief chat with the shopkeeper, they went well The inn was under the contract.
Dongfang Bubai and Jiang Yunlou lived in the two guest rooms at the end of the second floor. Afterwards, Qu Yang and Sang Sanniang each chose one they liked. The room was far away from the leader and elders, so as not to disturb the big figures in the church. After a short period of fuss, the group quickly settled down.
Jiang Yunlou handed the horse over to the disciples of the divine religion, took the package with the clothes, opened the door and walked into his guest room.
The room was very clean. A bed, a table, and a chair were all made of wood that can be seen everywhere in ordinary people's homes. Jiang Yunlou reached out and touched it, and he couldn't tell how much he liked it in his heart.
dong dong dong.
Jiang Yunlou turned his head sideways and said, "Please come in."
With a creak, it was Chengbi who entered the door.
Chengbi smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Jiang, the servant girl is here to pack your things."
She had already changed out of the purple dress that symbolized the maid in the purple shirt, and she still looked good, not like a servant of an ordinary family.
Jiang Yunlou was a little surprised and said, "Aren't you going to serve the leader?"
Chengbi wondered: "The Hierarch never likes maidservants tampering with the Hierarch's bedroom, and the only ones who can serve the Hierarch personally are the two elder sisters, Hong Jian and Ning Zi."
Although the guest rooms in the inn are just guest rooms, they are also areas where Dongfang Bubai does not like others to mess around.After hearing this sentence, Jiang Yunlou finally understood that this girl Chengbi...was not used by the leader himself, she was clearly brought for him on purpose.
He nodded, handed the baggage he brought to Chengbi, and said: "It's only for one night, just find a place to put it away."
Chengbi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.She untied Jiangyun Tower's burden, took out a few pieces of clothing inside and folded them carefully. After a while, the window of Jiangyun Tower's guest room was opened for ventilation, and a pot of hot tea, a plate of snacks, and even It was replaced with new pillows and silk quilts...
Jiang Yunlou: "..."
Chengbi cleaned up in full swing, and was extremely attentive, as if she wanted to dismantle all the things in the guest room and replace them all with the objects they brought. Jiang Yunlou looked around for a while idly, feeling that she was not only redundant, but He was still very much in the way of others cleaning the house, so he walked out silently.
As soon as he went out, he happened to see Xiao Er walking into the room next to him carrying food. Not long after Xiao Er walked in, a cold sentence came from the room——
"let it go."
knock knock knock.
Jiang Yunlou stood at the door and knocked a few times on the open wooden door. Dongfang Bubai and the second brother looked at him together. Jiang Yunlou smiled slightly and asked, "Do you mind if I have dinner with you?"
In front of outsiders, don't forget to omit the title of Dongfang Invincible.
Dongfang Bubai raised his eyebrows.
"Come in."
He told the second brother: "Bring me another bowl of rice."
The second brother responded, turned around and left in a numb manner.This inn is not big, there is only one shopkeeper and two waiters in total. They are sitting in the guest room on the second floor, and they can still hear the noise from the lobby on the first floor. Most of the divine disciples in this line eat in the lobby, and the other waiter is busy serving them, and only this one goes upstairs to deliver meals to the guests in the guest room.
Jiang Yunlou sat down in front of Dongfang Bubai and glanced at the room.It was no different from his room, except that the pillows and quilts were replaced by the ones I brought with me, and the rest remained the same, and they were still the original things in the guest room I was using.
He wondered, "Why didn't you ask Chengbi to clean up your place?"
Dongfang Bubai said: "Why, did she cause you trouble?"
The tone was flat, but Jiang Yunlou could hear a little displeasure.
He shook his head and said decisively, "No."
Seeing his reaction, Dongfang Bubai naturally dropped the topic and said, "Before I became the sect leader, I used to travel all over the world, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
Jiang Yunlou touched his nose and said in a low voice: "You don't have it, so I have..."
Dongfang Bubai smiled softly: "If you don't like it, I'll let that girl go back to Heimuya."
"Don't, don't." Jiang Yunlou sighed, "I finally understand what she is nervous about. She is afraid that you will drive her away."
Dongfang Bubai just smiled indifferently when he heard the words.
Soon, the waiter came back with bowls and chopsticks and a bowl of rice, and added two new dishes. The two of them closed the door and had a quiet meal.
This is the second time for them to eat alone, and both of them seemed much more at ease. Dongfang Bubai added tea to Jiang Yunlou casually. a mouthful.
Satisfied, Dongfang Bubai withdrew his hand to pour the tea.
Not long after this meal, Chengbi came over and said that Jiang Yunlou's room had been tidied up.It took her so long to come here, she must have come during their meal time, Dongfang Bubai let her in, and removed the things from this table by the way.
After eating, Jiang Yunlou was not in a hurry to leave, but instead chatted with Dongfang Bubai holding a teacup.
Dongfang Bubai talked with him for a while, and the topic slowly turned to Jianghu: "You are in Jianghu, is there any place or person you want to meet?"
Jiang Yunlou thought for a while, "If you ask this way... there is indeed one person, and I really want to see what kind of martial arts leader in the Jianghu is like."
Dongfang Bubai said: "The situation in the Righteous Way is complicated, the martial arts leader has not been selected yet, but there is a leader of the Five Sacred Mountains."
When Jiang Yunlou heard that there was no martial arts leader here, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He thought about it: "The leader of the Five Sacred Mountains... but the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect?"
Dongfang Bubai hummed lightly.
He said flatly: "The five schools of the Five Sacred Sword Sect are the Taishan Sect, the Huashan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, the Songshan Sect, and the Hengshan Sect. The disciples of the Five Sacred Sword Sect all refer to each other as brothers and sisters, which means that the Five Sacred Sword Sects are on the same level. They are like a family, and the current leader of the Five Sacred Mountains is Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan School."
He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The leader of the Five Sacred Mountains is no match for the leader of the martial arts. On top of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, there are also Shaolin and Quanzhen sects who are transcendent. In terms of reputation, the Five Sacred Sword Sect is far inferior, but it is worse than the Qing Dynasty. Small households such as the city faction are much better than the upper ones, and more than the lower ones, so they can only be regarded as the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, not the leader of the martial arts."
His tone was full of disdain for the Five Sacred Sword Sect, Jiang Yunlou curiously asked: "From the perspective of the East, who is the No. 1 righteous way among the righteous ways of martial arts?"
Holding the teacup, Dongfang Bubai was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Guo Jing."
It was late at night, and the lights at the inn had been turned off. Because they had to get up early the next day, most of the people fell asleep. They didn't want to see that the sky was still blue and bright in the daytime, but it was raining heavily.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and after a while, it turned into a torrential downpour.
The windows of the guest room in Jiangyun Building were not closed tightly. The heavy rain entered the room through the gaps in the windows, wet the window sills, and the windows creaked a few times. Finally, they failed to resist the attack of the wind and rain, and opened with a swipe.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out silently, closed the window, locked it, and blocked the wind and rain from the window.
Jiang Yunlou lay on the bed in the guest room and slept soundly. He was only covered with a thin summer quilt. He seemed to feel cold, and his body curled up subconsciously, making his already thin body look even weaker.
The black shadow with the window closed stood in front of Jiang Yunlou's bed for a long time, slowly adjusted his rain-wet sleeves, turned and walked out of the room.
In his sleep, Jiang Yunlou felt chills all over his body, and his heart ached slightly. Such a familiar feeling must be due to the heavy rain outside... His eyelids were heavy and he couldn't wake up from his sleep, but he also vaguely felt that there was an extra person in the room. Man, after a while, a quilt gently covered his body, dispelling the damp and cold all over his body.
... warmed up.
He relaxed his slightly frowned brows, and fell into a deep sleep again.
When he woke up the next day, Jiang Yunlou found that he was indeed covered with two layers of thin quilts. He squeezed the quilt and thought for a long time, thinking that Chengbi must have come in after he fell asleep, so he didn't care too much, got up to wash up After a while, I put on my clothes again, only to find the water stains on the window sill again.
And this sudden rain has no intention of stopping so far.
"Master Jiang, are you awake?"
It was Chengbi's voice.
Jiang Yunlou opened the door, and saw Chengbi standing pretty outside the door holding Jiang Yunlou's cloak in his arms.This cloak was put in the luggage, it was put on the carriage last night and was not taken up, not thinking about it early in the morning, Cheng Bi took the brocade cloak up.
"The young master asked the maid to bring it up. The young master and the others are having dinner downstairs. If Mr. Jiang has finished packing, please come down to eat together."
Jiang Yunlou took the cloak and put it on, and asked casually, "You came to my room to close the window last night?"
Chengbi was taken aback, and shook his head.
"The servant girl didn't come back after tidying up the room last night."
Jiang Yunlou slowly nodded thoughtfully, "...Go on, don't keep them waiting."
When they got downstairs, Dongfang Bubai, Qu Yang, and Sang Sanniang were all sitting at a table by the window. It seemed that everyone got up earlier than Jiang Yunlou. Seeing that everyone was almost the same as yesterday, I had put on an extra cloak, and was a little hesitant to go back to the house and take off the cloak.
Dongfang Bubai had already seen him.
Dongfang Bubai looked at Jiang Yunlou up and down, and said, "Come over for dinner."
Jiang Yunlou had no choice but to give up the idea of changing clothes, walked over and sat opposite Dongfang Bubai, and smiled at him.As soon as he sat down, the second brother brought out a bowl of hot porridge.
Jiang Yunlou asked: "Have you all finished eating?"
Qu Yang nodded, and said kindly: "There is no rush, take your time. I don't think the rain will stop for a while, at least it will take another two hours."
Sang Sanniang said: "Even if the rain stops, the road will be muddy and difficult to walk."
She sighed.
"The weather is changing at will, and there is no sign at all."
Dongfang Bubai didn't speak, he sat by the window, Qu Yang sat next to him, and Sang Sanniang sat opposite Qu Yang, so when Jiang Yunlou sat down, he sat opposite Dongfang Bubai.Dongfang Bubai looked down at Jiang Yunlou after finishing a bowl of hot porridge, and casually played with a small hand warmer in his hand.
After Jiang Yunlou finished drinking in a leisurely manner, Dongfang Bubai casually handed over the hand warmer in his hand to Jiang Yunlou.Jiang Yunlou was slightly taken aback, looking at the sleeve stove that Dongfang Bubai handed him. The sleeve stove was still wrapped with the cloth cover of stepping on the snow and looking for plums. It was very elegant and unique. He looked at Dongfang Bubai firmly, Seeing his face as if nothing had happened, he reached out and took it.
He said sincerely, "Thank you."
Sang Sanniang, who had been secretly wondering why there was an extra hand warmer in the hands of the leader today, suddenly realized.
Where did the leader change his temper, it was clearly given to Jiang Yunlou specially, and remembering the tone of the leader when he called Chengbi to go outside to get the cloak for Jiangyunlou, Sang Sanniang's eyebrows twitched, and a weird guess appeared in her heart .
This young brother Jiang has a handsome face, a simple mind, and a weak and sickly body. The leader is very fond of him, does he treat him as something...
Then I think that the leader has become more and more unfeminine in recent years. Not only does he not spend the night in the ladies' rooms, he even refuses to sit there occasionally. Instead, he often wants to see Brother Jiang, eat and talk with him. One of the maids in shirts was assigned, and Dongping Yizhi was asked to see a doctor for Jiang Yunlou. The more he thought about it, the more reliable his guess became.
"Elder Sang, why are you in a daze?"
Sang Sanniang suddenly came back to her senses, and saw Qu Yang stroking his beard and looking at her strangely.
Sang Sanniang was startled, she raised her eyes to look at the leader, who was just talking to Jiang Yunlou in a low voice, as if he hadn't noticed her, so she was relieved.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that the rain will delay the trip for a few days..."
She shook her head, and finally remembered the business: "Speaking of which, we forgot to bring more paper umbrellas and hats when we set off. This rain reminded me."
Cheng Bi, who was standing by the side, said: "The servant girl knows that there is a shop in the town that sells these. His oil-paper umbrellas are very beautiful."
Sang Sanniang said: "Whether it's beautiful or not is the second thing, as long as it can keep out the rain. Where is that shop? I'll send someone to buy some."
Dongfang Bubai said to Chengbi: "Since that's the case, then you should go there yourself."
He then ordered Sang Sanniang: "Send some people to go with her."
Sang Sanniang said: "Yes."
Chengbi looked a little happy, but also a little anxious, and quickly disappeared into the rain with a few disciples of the divine religion brought out by Sang Sanniang.
Jiang Yunlou thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Dongfang, do you think Chengbi has been very happy since she arrived here yesterday?"
Dongfang Bubai let out a soft "Huh?" and said, "Is there?"
In front of him, Chengbi is still the same as before, but since Jiang Yunlou thinks so, there is indeed something wrong with Chengbi.
He thought for a while before he remembered something, and said: "Speaking of which, I have heard Hongjian say that she was born in a town near Heimuya, and was sold to Heimuya because her family was poor. Became a handmaid."
He narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Maybe this is her former home."
The maids in his yard were all clean, and because of his cautious temperament, he would not use any of unknown origin, so Dongfang Bubai did not suspect Chengbi had any bad intentions.
Jiang Yunlou said: "So that's the case, no wonder she is so happy."
Saying this, they let go of their doubts for the time being, and they sat in the lobby of the inn, waiting for the rain to stop, while waiting for Chengbi and the others to come back.
But he didn't want to, after Chengbi left, he didn't come back for an entire hour.
"No, it's not good... Miss Chengbi, something happened to Miss Chengbi!"
A divine disciple hurried back to the inn, covered in mud and in a mess.
Sang Sanniang frowned slightly: "What's the matter? Talk about it!"
The god disciple knelt down with a plop, and said, "We, we have met Tian Boguang, who is alone in Wanli!"
Heimuya, the unbeaten family of the East.
Tong Baixiong was puzzled and said: "Brother Dongfang, just how long after the sect has settled down, you are leaving Heimuya to venture into the rivers and lakes. What is the reason for this?"
Dongfang Bubai twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "I have already issued a hunting order. Xiang Wentian is now being hunted down by the entire Sun Moon God Sect. Unless he can go to sea, it is only a matter of time before he is caught." .Being forced to do so, he must take some action, and I choose to "retreat" at this time, just to see what he will do."
But he didn't mention the relationship between this matter and Jiang Yunlou.
With his hands behind his back, he said confidently, "Brother Tong, just wait and see. As for the academic affairs, I will leave a red note. Many of the arrangements for this seat are arranged by her. If you have any problems, you can order her." that is."
Hong Jian blessed the body silently at the side.
Tong Baixiong glanced at Hong Jian, and sighed a little angrily: "Well, although I am impatient to take care of these things, since you have your own plan, then I can only follow it."
He also knew that Xiang Wentian suddenly had a big fight with Ren Woxing and left Heimuya in a fit of anger, but for some reason now, Xiang Wentian actually sent someone to try to kidnap the holy lady—yes, he was captured from the restaurant Finally, the sneaky man couldn't stand the Xingtang's tricks, and called out the words Xiang Wentian—but why did Xiang Wentian start to fight against the divine religion?After the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, Tong Baixiong pondered for a long time by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong. He suddenly slapped his thigh——
"What the hell!"
Since Brother Dongfang wants to kill Xiang Wentian, no matter what the reason is, he, a good brother, should stand by Brother Dongfang at this time!
After figuring this out at home, Tong Baixiong was going to Dongfang Bubai's house immediately. Before he left, the news that Dongfang Bubai was going to retreat spread all over Heimuya, followed by the whole sect. Or sincere or hypocritical congratulations - the right to arbitrate in times of crisis?This is almost the treatment of the deputy leader!
Tong Baixiong immediately pushed away the crowd and went straight to the top of the Black Wood Cliff. When he arrived at Dongfang Bubai's house, he saw that he was going to retreat. He had packed his luggage and was going down the mountain to tour the rivers and lakes!
Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was so confident, Tong Baixiong was sure that Xiang Wentian would do something, he sighed heavily, waved his hands and said, "Go ahead, Tong has no other skills, but if someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, he will He still has the ability to unscrew his neck!"
Dongfang Bubai smiled gratifiedly, "Thank you, Brother Tong."
On this Blackwood Cliff, the one who is really loyal to him is only a boy Baixiong, and in such a huge Sun Moon God Sect, there is no one worthy of sincere friendship...
A cyan figure flashed before Dongfang Bubai's eyes.
He lowered his eyes lightly.
That person... can't be regarded as a member of the Sun Moon God Sect.
A few days passed in a flash.
On the day of departure, Qu Yang and Jiang Yunlou met under the sycamore tree on the hillside of Heimuya.
Qu Yang had been waiting under the phoenix tree alone for about a quarter of an hour, and he looked a little out of his mind. When he saw Jiang Yunlou, he smiled wryly.
"What about the priest?"
Jiang Yunlou led the horse and walked over, and replied in a relaxed tone: "It is said that they are waiting for us at the foot of the mountain, and Elder Sang is also there."
Qu Yang stroked his beard and sighed, "That's right, Elder Sang was sent to deal with the sub-helm again. Speaking of which, it's a smooth ride with us. We should be able to walk together for three or four days."
Jiang Yunlou carefully looked at Qu Yang's face, and slowly suppressed the relaxed smile on his face. He hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Senior, do you find it difficult?"
Ever since he told Qu Yang that Dongfang Bubai was going with him, Qu Yang had been hesitant to speak, and Jiang Yunlou realized that Qu Yang's friend seemed to be inconvenient to let him know. Hierarch see?
This is something he didn't think about.
First, he promised Qu Yang to go to see Qu Yang's confidant together, and then he agreed to travel with Dongfang Bubai. Under the joy, he forgot to ask Qu Yang if it was convenient, which caused such an embarrassing situation.
After hearing Jiang Yunlou's question, Qu Yang's first thought was—what Jiang Yunlou could detect, the leader must have already noticed it.
The leader has always been suspicious, and he must have doubted the identity of his "confidant". Maybe the leader went down the mountain with them, and it was a bit of a test on him?
No, not at all.
He has a lot of experience, and he has some prestige on the Blackwood Cliff, but the leader doesn't use him very much. Instead, he makes him an idle elder. He doesn't think the leader will go down the mountain himself because of that little doubt. Temptation, with the temperament of the leader, it would be impossible for the Zishan guards to inquire secretly.
Qu Yang smiled wryly: "Brother Jiang, to tell you the truth, this matter is difficult. My confidant is... well, he is a member of the Five Sacred Sword Sect."
Jiang Yunlou was slightly surprised when he heard the words. He had also heard about the bad relationship between the Five Sacred Sword Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect. It is said that there was a big battle between the two sides a few years ago, and many masters were killed and injured. The Five Sacred Sword Sect Since then, his vitality has been severely injured, and he regards the Sun Moon God Sect as an enemy of life and death.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, Jiang Yunlou said apologetically, "I didn't think about it."
Qu Yang waved his hand and said: "Paper can't hold fire, we have a private friendship, in fact, sooner or later it will be exposed... Forget it, forget it, I don't blame you, it's my hesitation that dragged it until today to treat you Said. Let's go down the mountain to see the leader."
Jiang Yunlou nodded, and comforted him: "The leader is indeed cautious and suspicious, but he is not unreasonable. Besides, we all know the temperament of Senior Qu. You two are confidants, and presumably only confidants. , Senior has never done anything to betray the divine religion."
Qu Yang heard this and sighed: "With your words, even if the leader really doesn't forgive Qu, Qu will be happy today."
At the foot of Heimuya Mountain, Sang Sanniang had already led twenty or thirty people ready to go, and Dongfang Bubai, who was dressed in bright red, was leaning in the carriage, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
There were no other divine disciples around, presumably someone had cleared the place in advance, so that the passing disciples would not see the leader who was supposed to "retreat" appear at the foot of the mountain—as for the reason for clearing the place, just find one.
Seeing Qu Yang and Jiang Yunlou coming, Sang Sanniang laughed loudly: "You two are slower than the leader!"
Dongfang Bubai opened his eyes, glanced at Sang Sanniang lightly, and then looked at the two people who came down from the mountain.The two men each led a horse, and immediately put their respective burdens on them, and they didn't bring any attendants with them.
Jiang Yunlou smiled at Dongfang Bubai who was lazily leaning on the carriage, and then his eyes fell on Chengbi who was standing quietly beside the carriage, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
He packed his bags yesterday and asked Cheng Bi to go back to the leader's place to meet up with the leader. He didn't want to say goodbye last night, but today he met again at the foot of the mountain.
Chengbi smiled brightly, and bowed to Jiang Yunlou, and Jiang Yunlou understood that she was brought by Dongfang Bubai.
So he touched his nose and smiled at Chengbi.
Sang Sanniang was riding a horse with a heroic figure, and her tone was a bit more heroic than ordinary women: "I will part ways with you in the next town, but Elder Qu, where are you going? I just asked the leader , the leader actually said that he didn’t know either.”
Qu Yang just smiled wryly.
Dongfang Bubai leaned on the carriage, raised his eyelids when he heard the words, and said lazily: "Elder Qu, just tell me, which mountain are you going to go to?"
Surprised all four.
Sang Sanniang was taken aback, and her expression immediately became extremely strange.
Dongfang Bubai stroked the non-existent folds of his clothes, and said in a flat tone: "Since we communicate with each other through rhythm, I don't care about you. It's just that you take care of yourself. The group of hypocrites and old antiques of the Five Sacred Sword Sect may not be as crooked as we are." air."
He smiled lightly, and there was a careless sarcasm in the smile, thinking that Dongfang Bubai didn't have a good impression of the Five Sacred Sword Sect.
Qu Yang was silent for a moment, then solemnly said: "Thank you, Master."
Jiang Yunlou also breathed a sigh of relief. He led the white horse, walked slowly to the carriage, and praised sincerely: "Dongfang has a good heart."
After hearing this, Dongfang Bubai glanced at him with a smile, and said to Chengbi who was beside him, "What are you doing in a daze?"
Cheng Bi hurriedly stepped forward, untied Jiang Yunlou's burden immediately, and put it on the carriage.
The horse in Jiang Yunlou was also familiar with her. The horse rubbed against Chengbi docilely, and let Chengbi unpack her luggage.
Qu Yang let go of a stone in his heart, and his face became much more relaxed. At this moment, he took a closer look at Jiang Yunlou's horse, and said in a good mood: "It really is a good horse."
Jiang Yunlou's horse is all white without a trace of variegation. The mane on its neck is long and soft. The saddle on its body is beautiful gilt gold, and its eyes are even more radiant. Because it has not been out for a long time, it looks particularly energetic.
Jiang Yunlou rubbed the horse's head: "I've been detained for almost a year, and I can finally go out. It's happy today."
Dongfang Bubai teased lightly: "According to me, your horse is not the only one who is happy."
Hearing this, Jiang Yunlou laughed heartily.
"The East knows me!"
Seeing them talking and laughing, Sang Sanniang managed to suppress her surprise.That's all, that's all, since the leader doesn't care about Qu Yang and... having friends with people from the Five Sacred Sword Sect, she has nothing to say.
Everyone had arrived, Dongfang Bubai finally got up, picked up the bamboo hat that was put aside, put it on, and got out of the carriage.
Chengbi placed the burden, and seeing that Dongfang Bubai moved, she immediately brought a horse for Dongfang Bubai. Before Bubai became the leader, Tong Baixiong gave Dongfang Bubai a horse.
Dongfang Bubai rode his horse neatly and neatly, wearing a red dress, his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
"Departure."
So this group of people set off from the foot of the Blackwood Cliff.
Jiang Yunlou, Dongfang Bubai and others walked in front of the team, while the other divine disciples and carriage goods fell behind them not too far away. According to Sang Sanniang, these goods were to be transported to the sub-helm To go, the goods are heavy, and the journey is naturally slow.But after a few days, they parted ways, and Sang Sanniang left with most of the manpower and goods, and the leader's side relaxed.
"Speaking of which, Cheng Ying is very reluctant to part with you. When she heard that you were going down the mountain, she kept asking me when you would come back. I asked her to ask you personally, but she didn't want to."
Sang Sanniang said.
Jiang Yunlou also showed a bit of reluctance when he heard this. He and Cheng Ying were destined, and they both saved each other's life. Because of Jiang Yunlou, Cheng Ying escaped from Li Mochou, and because of Cheng Ying Ying, Jiang Yunlou was brought back to Heimuya by Sang Sanniang, and met these friends of the Sun Moon God Sect.
He solemnly said: "I will go back to see her."
Sang Sanniang smiled slightly: "Then I can rest assured."
I didn't even ask him when he would return to Heimuya, people in Jianghu are very open-minded, if they say there will be a day of goodbye, then there will always be a day of goodbye, just wait with peace of mind.
Dongfang Bubai walked in the front. After hearing this, he turned his head slightly and stared deeply at Jiang Yunlou. Jiang Yunlou was keenly aware of Dongfang Bubai's gaze. He also looked at the man in red and smiled at him. smiled.
He smiled a lot today, especially brightly, and it seemed that he was indeed in an unprecedented mood.
Dongfang Bubai silently turned his head back.
Qu Yang watched the small interaction between the two, stroked his beard, and casually brought up the topic: "I heard that Ping Yizhi went back to Kaifeng, did he treat Brother Jiang well before he left?"
Jiang Yunlou smiled and said: "He has checked my pulse, and before he left he angrily promised that he would find a way for me."
However, he didn't take these words to heart, maybe because he believed that his illness could not be cured, he didn't care much about the result of Ping Yizhi, so he shook his head and said: "It's also thanks to the leader, I have been in good spirits for the past few days, I don’t feel cold, and I seldom cough.”
Qu Yang smiled and reminded: "Brother Jiang, when you are away from home, it is better to call the leader by another name, otherwise you will expose your identity and we will be in trouble."
Jiang Yunlou thought for a while, and tentatively asked, "Then, Dongfang?"
Qu Yang shook his head and said: "Although the leader's surname is not unique, it is not a common name after all. Coupled with the leader's high martial arts skills, it is different at first glance. It is not appropriate, but it is still not appropriate."
Sang Sanniang interjected with a smile: "For us, we can just call you young master. As for how to call you, why don't you discuss it with young master?"
As he spoke, he winked at Qu Yang.
Qu Yang laughed out loud, and sure enough, he didn't make any more suggestions.
Jiang Yunlou then took a look at Dongfang Bubai who was walking in the front, seeing that he was just on his way, and wondering if he had heard their conversation, he made the horse speed up a little, catching up with Dongfang Bubai's speed in a few steps .
"East, what do you think?"
Dongfang Bubai glanced sideways at Jiang Yunlou, and shook his head generously, expressing that he had no idea.
Jiang Yunlou sighed pretendingly: "Yes, you haven't given me a name for that song yet, so how can I expect you to have a good idea."
Dongfang Bubai sneered: "It's really courageous."
His tone was slightly smiling: "Besides, that song is already my song, not yours."
Jiang Yunlou said: "Okay, your own song, of course, you can name it whenever you want."
He rubbed his nose, silently thinking about the title of Dongfang Bubai, the surname of Dongfang Bubai is indeed a bit special...
Dongfang Bubai himself didn't really care about this, and he could tell that Qu Yang and Sang Sanniang's proposal meant a lot of teasing Jiang Yunlou. ranks.
Dongfang Bubai said solemnly: "You are still a gentleman on Heimuya, but it's just a name, how can you be troubled? Since the word Dongfang is too eye-catching, just make up an ordinary name."
Jiang Yunlou said awkwardly: "I'm really not good at this, even if I take it, you must not like it."
"Oh?"
Jiang Yunlou said: "For example, my horse... This is the horse that my master gave me on my birthday. He said the horse is called Li Feisha. It's just that I don't think it sounds good, so I decided to name it, and I saw that it was full of blood. It is as white as snow, as beautiful as the clouds in the sky, so I named it Floating Cloud."
As if he could understand human speech, Ma'er snorted unhappily when he heard the word Fuyun.
Jiang Yunlou paused, then continued: "...I called him Fuyun, but it never paid me any attention, probably because it didn't like the name I gave it."
Dongfang Bubai thought in his heart that this man's temper was so soft that he could even bully a horse, but seeing him grabbing the horse's mane and looking very fond of it, he could only laugh in his heart.
Only such a person can still keep a sincere heart.
——But I don't know if such a heart, soaked in the big dyeing vat of the rivers and lakes, will change color one day?
He said in a flat tone: "Forget it, there is no need to change your words, you can call it whatever you want, there is nothing shameful about my name."
Dongfang Bubai sat firmly on the horse, with a calm expression on his face: "...Longevity."
Jiang Yunlou, who hadn't been called the word "longevity" for a long time, paused for a while, then relaxed his eyebrows, and responded with a smile: "Oh."
After a long time, Dongfang Bubai seemed to have a little more smile on his face under the bamboo hat.
……
…………
The group walked for about a day, stopped halfway and had a simple lunch at a roadside tea shop, and arrived at a small town in the evening.
The town is far less prosperous than the town under the Black Wood Cliff, but because of the frequent caravans passing by, it is not cold, and the arrival of Dongfang Bubai and his party is quite normal.
This place is not too far away from Heimuya, so it still belongs to the sphere of influence of the Sun Moon God Sect. Sang Sanniang entered the town and found an inn with familiarity. After a brief chat with the shopkeeper, they went well The inn was under the contract.
Dongfang Bubai and Jiang Yunlou lived in the two guest rooms at the end of the second floor. Afterwards, Qu Yang and Sang Sanniang each chose one they liked. The room was far away from the leader and elders, so as not to disturb the big figures in the church. After a short period of fuss, the group quickly settled down.
Jiang Yunlou handed the horse over to the disciples of the divine religion, took the package with the clothes, opened the door and walked into his guest room.
The room was very clean. A bed, a table, and a chair were all made of wood that can be seen everywhere in ordinary people's homes. Jiang Yunlou reached out and touched it, and he couldn't tell how much he liked it in his heart.
dong dong dong.
Jiang Yunlou turned his head sideways and said, "Please come in."
With a creak, it was Chengbi who entered the door.
Chengbi smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Jiang, the servant girl is here to pack your things."
She had already changed out of the purple dress that symbolized the maid in the purple shirt, and she still looked good, not like a servant of an ordinary family.
Jiang Yunlou was a little surprised and said, "Aren't you going to serve the leader?"
Chengbi wondered: "The Hierarch never likes maidservants tampering with the Hierarch's bedroom, and the only ones who can serve the Hierarch personally are the two elder sisters, Hong Jian and Ning Zi."
Although the guest rooms in the inn are just guest rooms, they are also areas where Dongfang Bubai does not like others to mess around.After hearing this sentence, Jiang Yunlou finally understood that this girl Chengbi...was not used by the leader himself, she was clearly brought for him on purpose.
He nodded, handed the baggage he brought to Chengbi, and said: "It's only for one night, just find a place to put it away."
Chengbi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.She untied Jiangyun Tower's burden, took out a few pieces of clothing inside and folded them carefully. After a while, the window of Jiangyun Tower's guest room was opened for ventilation, and a pot of hot tea, a plate of snacks, and even It was replaced with new pillows and silk quilts...
Jiang Yunlou: "..."
Chengbi cleaned up in full swing, and was extremely attentive, as if she wanted to dismantle all the things in the guest room and replace them all with the objects they brought. Jiang Yunlou looked around for a while idly, feeling that she was not only redundant, but He was still very much in the way of others cleaning the house, so he walked out silently.
As soon as he went out, he happened to see Xiao Er walking into the room next to him carrying food. Not long after Xiao Er walked in, a cold sentence came from the room——
"let it go."
knock knock knock.
Jiang Yunlou stood at the door and knocked a few times on the open wooden door. Dongfang Bubai and the second brother looked at him together. Jiang Yunlou smiled slightly and asked, "Do you mind if I have dinner with you?"
In front of outsiders, don't forget to omit the title of Dongfang Invincible.
Dongfang Bubai raised his eyebrows.
"Come in."
He told the second brother: "Bring me another bowl of rice."
The second brother responded, turned around and left in a numb manner.This inn is not big, there is only one shopkeeper and two waiters in total. They are sitting in the guest room on the second floor, and they can still hear the noise from the lobby on the first floor. Most of the divine disciples in this line eat in the lobby, and the other waiter is busy serving them, and only this one goes upstairs to deliver meals to the guests in the guest room.
Jiang Yunlou sat down in front of Dongfang Bubai and glanced at the room.It was no different from his room, except that the pillows and quilts were replaced by the ones I brought with me, and the rest remained the same, and they were still the original things in the guest room I was using.
He wondered, "Why didn't you ask Chengbi to clean up your place?"
Dongfang Bubai said: "Why, did she cause you trouble?"
The tone was flat, but Jiang Yunlou could hear a little displeasure.
He shook his head and said decisively, "No."
Seeing his reaction, Dongfang Bubai naturally dropped the topic and said, "Before I became the sect leader, I used to travel all over the world, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
Jiang Yunlou touched his nose and said in a low voice: "You don't have it, so I have..."
Dongfang Bubai smiled softly: "If you don't like it, I'll let that girl go back to Heimuya."
"Don't, don't." Jiang Yunlou sighed, "I finally understand what she is nervous about. She is afraid that you will drive her away."
Dongfang Bubai just smiled indifferently when he heard the words.
Soon, the waiter came back with bowls and chopsticks and a bowl of rice, and added two new dishes. The two of them closed the door and had a quiet meal.
This is the second time for them to eat alone, and both of them seemed much more at ease. Dongfang Bubai added tea to Jiang Yunlou casually. a mouthful.
Satisfied, Dongfang Bubai withdrew his hand to pour the tea.
Not long after this meal, Chengbi came over and said that Jiang Yunlou's room had been tidied up.It took her so long to come here, she must have come during their meal time, Dongfang Bubai let her in, and removed the things from this table by the way.
After eating, Jiang Yunlou was not in a hurry to leave, but instead chatted with Dongfang Bubai holding a teacup.
Dongfang Bubai talked with him for a while, and the topic slowly turned to Jianghu: "You are in Jianghu, is there any place or person you want to meet?"
Jiang Yunlou thought for a while, "If you ask this way... there is indeed one person, and I really want to see what kind of martial arts leader in the Jianghu is like."
Dongfang Bubai said: "The situation in the Righteous Way is complicated, the martial arts leader has not been selected yet, but there is a leader of the Five Sacred Mountains."
When Jiang Yunlou heard that there was no martial arts leader here, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He thought about it: "The leader of the Five Sacred Mountains... but the leader of the Five Sacred Sword Sect?"
Dongfang Bubai hummed lightly.
He said flatly: "The five schools of the Five Sacred Sword Sect are the Taishan Sect, the Huashan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, the Songshan Sect, and the Hengshan Sect. The disciples of the Five Sacred Sword Sect all refer to each other as brothers and sisters, which means that the Five Sacred Sword Sects are on the same level. They are like a family, and the current leader of the Five Sacred Mountains is Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan School."
He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The leader of the Five Sacred Mountains is no match for the leader of the martial arts. On top of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, there are also Shaolin and Quanzhen sects who are transcendent. In terms of reputation, the Five Sacred Sword Sect is far inferior, but it is worse than the Qing Dynasty. Small households such as the city faction are much better than the upper ones, and more than the lower ones, so they can only be regarded as the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, not the leader of the martial arts."
His tone was full of disdain for the Five Sacred Sword Sect, Jiang Yunlou curiously asked: "From the perspective of the East, who is the No. 1 righteous way among the righteous ways of martial arts?"
Holding the teacup, Dongfang Bubai was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Guo Jing."
It was late at night, and the lights at the inn had been turned off. Because they had to get up early the next day, most of the people fell asleep. They didn't want to see that the sky was still blue and bright in the daytime, but it was raining heavily.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and after a while, it turned into a torrential downpour.
The windows of the guest room in Jiangyun Building were not closed tightly. The heavy rain entered the room through the gaps in the windows, wet the window sills, and the windows creaked a few times. Finally, they failed to resist the attack of the wind and rain, and opened with a swipe.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out silently, closed the window, locked it, and blocked the wind and rain from the window.
Jiang Yunlou lay on the bed in the guest room and slept soundly. He was only covered with a thin summer quilt. He seemed to feel cold, and his body curled up subconsciously, making his already thin body look even weaker.
The black shadow with the window closed stood in front of Jiang Yunlou's bed for a long time, slowly adjusted his rain-wet sleeves, turned and walked out of the room.
In his sleep, Jiang Yunlou felt chills all over his body, and his heart ached slightly. Such a familiar feeling must be due to the heavy rain outside... His eyelids were heavy and he couldn't wake up from his sleep, but he also vaguely felt that there was an extra person in the room. Man, after a while, a quilt gently covered his body, dispelling the damp and cold all over his body.
... warmed up.
He relaxed his slightly frowned brows, and fell into a deep sleep again.
When he woke up the next day, Jiang Yunlou found that he was indeed covered with two layers of thin quilts. He squeezed the quilt and thought for a long time, thinking that Chengbi must have come in after he fell asleep, so he didn't care too much, got up to wash up After a while, I put on my clothes again, only to find the water stains on the window sill again.
And this sudden rain has no intention of stopping so far.
"Master Jiang, are you awake?"
It was Chengbi's voice.
Jiang Yunlou opened the door, and saw Chengbi standing pretty outside the door holding Jiang Yunlou's cloak in his arms.This cloak was put in the luggage, it was put on the carriage last night and was not taken up, not thinking about it early in the morning, Cheng Bi took the brocade cloak up.
"The young master asked the maid to bring it up. The young master and the others are having dinner downstairs. If Mr. Jiang has finished packing, please come down to eat together."
Jiang Yunlou took the cloak and put it on, and asked casually, "You came to my room to close the window last night?"
Chengbi was taken aback, and shook his head.
"The servant girl didn't come back after tidying up the room last night."
Jiang Yunlou slowly nodded thoughtfully, "...Go on, don't keep them waiting."
When they got downstairs, Dongfang Bubai, Qu Yang, and Sang Sanniang were all sitting at a table by the window. It seemed that everyone got up earlier than Jiang Yunlou. Seeing that everyone was almost the same as yesterday, I had put on an extra cloak, and was a little hesitant to go back to the house and take off the cloak.
Dongfang Bubai had already seen him.
Dongfang Bubai looked at Jiang Yunlou up and down, and said, "Come over for dinner."
Jiang Yunlou had no choice but to give up the idea of changing clothes, walked over and sat opposite Dongfang Bubai, and smiled at him.As soon as he sat down, the second brother brought out a bowl of hot porridge.
Jiang Yunlou asked: "Have you all finished eating?"
Qu Yang nodded, and said kindly: "There is no rush, take your time. I don't think the rain will stop for a while, at least it will take another two hours."
Sang Sanniang said: "Even if the rain stops, the road will be muddy and difficult to walk."
She sighed.
"The weather is changing at will, and there is no sign at all."
Dongfang Bubai didn't speak, he sat by the window, Qu Yang sat next to him, and Sang Sanniang sat opposite Qu Yang, so when Jiang Yunlou sat down, he sat opposite Dongfang Bubai.Dongfang Bubai looked down at Jiang Yunlou after finishing a bowl of hot porridge, and casually played with a small hand warmer in his hand.
After Jiang Yunlou finished drinking in a leisurely manner, Dongfang Bubai casually handed over the hand warmer in his hand to Jiang Yunlou.Jiang Yunlou was slightly taken aback, looking at the sleeve stove that Dongfang Bubai handed him. The sleeve stove was still wrapped with the cloth cover of stepping on the snow and looking for plums. It was very elegant and unique. He looked at Dongfang Bubai firmly, Seeing his face as if nothing had happened, he reached out and took it.
He said sincerely, "Thank you."
Sang Sanniang, who had been secretly wondering why there was an extra hand warmer in the hands of the leader today, suddenly realized.
Where did the leader change his temper, it was clearly given to Jiang Yunlou specially, and remembering the tone of the leader when he called Chengbi to go outside to get the cloak for Jiangyunlou, Sang Sanniang's eyebrows twitched, and a weird guess appeared in her heart .
This young brother Jiang has a handsome face, a simple mind, and a weak and sickly body. The leader is very fond of him, does he treat him as something...
Then I think that the leader has become more and more unfeminine in recent years. Not only does he not spend the night in the ladies' rooms, he even refuses to sit there occasionally. Instead, he often wants to see Brother Jiang, eat and talk with him. One of the maids in shirts was assigned, and Dongping Yizhi was asked to see a doctor for Jiang Yunlou. The more he thought about it, the more reliable his guess became.
"Elder Sang, why are you in a daze?"
Sang Sanniang suddenly came back to her senses, and saw Qu Yang stroking his beard and looking at her strangely.
Sang Sanniang was startled, she raised her eyes to look at the leader, who was just talking to Jiang Yunlou in a low voice, as if he hadn't noticed her, so she was relieved.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that the rain will delay the trip for a few days..."
She shook her head, and finally remembered the business: "Speaking of which, we forgot to bring more paper umbrellas and hats when we set off. This rain reminded me."
Cheng Bi, who was standing by the side, said: "The servant girl knows that there is a shop in the town that sells these. His oil-paper umbrellas are very beautiful."
Sang Sanniang said: "Whether it's beautiful or not is the second thing, as long as it can keep out the rain. Where is that shop? I'll send someone to buy some."
Dongfang Bubai said to Chengbi: "Since that's the case, then you should go there yourself."
He then ordered Sang Sanniang: "Send some people to go with her."
Sang Sanniang said: "Yes."
Chengbi looked a little happy, but also a little anxious, and quickly disappeared into the rain with a few disciples of the divine religion brought out by Sang Sanniang.
Jiang Yunlou thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Dongfang, do you think Chengbi has been very happy since she arrived here yesterday?"
Dongfang Bubai let out a soft "Huh?" and said, "Is there?"
In front of him, Chengbi is still the same as before, but since Jiang Yunlou thinks so, there is indeed something wrong with Chengbi.
He thought for a while before he remembered something, and said: "Speaking of which, I have heard Hongjian say that she was born in a town near Heimuya, and was sold to Heimuya because her family was poor. Became a handmaid."
He narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Maybe this is her former home."
The maids in his yard were all clean, and because of his cautious temperament, he would not use any of unknown origin, so Dongfang Bubai did not suspect Chengbi had any bad intentions.
Jiang Yunlou said: "So that's the case, no wonder she is so happy."
Saying this, they let go of their doubts for the time being, and they sat in the lobby of the inn, waiting for the rain to stop, while waiting for Chengbi and the others to come back.
But he didn't want to, after Chengbi left, he didn't come back for an entire hour.
"No, it's not good... Miss Chengbi, something happened to Miss Chengbi!"
A divine disciple hurried back to the inn, covered in mud and in a mess.
Sang Sanniang frowned slightly: "What's the matter? Talk about it!"
The god disciple knelt down with a plop, and said, "We, we have met Tian Boguang, who is alone in Wanli!"
