"Snapped"
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
Qingshan County, Qingshan Inn. Outside the inn, the snow and wind are like flying catkins, embellishing the eaves and corners, adding a touch of ancient charm.
A few muffled crackling sounds were heard from a room on the fifth floor.
Then, there was a "woo" sound.
I saw a woman on the bed in the room letting out a muffled groan from her throat, and then spitting out a mouthful of blood. Then the woman gasped heavily, the red corners of her mouth, coupled with her messy hair, made her look in a state of embarrassment.
After a few breaths, the woman seemed to have recovered. She grabbed the hand next to her with one hand and raised her head. The white of her narrow eyes was half an inch longer. She was trembling with fear and resentment, and her tone was hurried and sharp:
"Father, you have to avenge your daughter!"
Following her line of sight, Fang Tangjing, the father who was treating Fang Mingyue by the bed, threw his arm, stood up, looked down with a gloomy look, and scolded in a low voice:
"Shut up, do you really think they dare not kill you?"
"What did your father teach you every day? Hatred without ability is just the rage of the incompetent. It is hidden in the heart and expressed in action. I have taught you for so many years in vain, and you have not made any progress at all."
"Look at you. You've been blinded by anger and what you've become."
There was a chilling indifference in Fang Tangjing's tone.
Fang Mingyue was thrown aside. Seeing her father angry, she even became a little strange. She was already being trampled under the feet of Chen in front of everyone. Her psychological defense line was on the verge of collapse. At this time, she was stabbed by her own father and immediately became hysterical.
"Is it like her father, who watched his daughter being stepped on by that damned Zhonglang General out of fear?"
She spoke her mind and completely lost her composure.
The next second, a clear and powerful "pop" sound was heard.
Fang Mingyue covered her face in disbelief as she looked at her father who was looking at her in shock and anger. Her mind, which had been overwhelmed by anger, gradually returned to rationality and her eyes became somewhat panicked.
She knew that her father had always wanted a son to inherit the family business, but he was not destined to have one. She had no choice but to train her, but she could never get her father's recognition.
But if she lost her father's protection, everything would be gone, so she became panicked.
"Father, I know I was wrong. What I just said was nonsense."
She quickly admitted her mistake and lowered her head.
Fang Tangjing looked at her coldly, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, he flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and put his hands behind his back.
"Let's wait until our ancestor comes to discuss everything. Even if he is the Ninth Mountain General, he is very capable, but our ancestor will make this Chen give an explanation to the Fang family!"
Fang Tangjing said the latter part with a bit of anger in his tone.
Wasn't he angry? The humiliation just now made him lose face in front of his family and even those younger generations. He wanted to kill Chen Yuan, but he knew he was no match for him after several attempts. He knew that continuing would only bring humiliation upon himself.
"Everything is up to my father!"
Fang Mingyue replied in a low, dull voice.
For a moment, the air in the room fell into silence.
But after a while, there were faint footsteps coming from the stairwell next door. They had no roots, just a few ordinary people.
Fang Tangjing listened attentively to everything around him, flicked his sleeves, and the door of the room opened without wind. Then he disappeared in the room with a shake of his feet, and when he reappeared, he was at the stairs.
At this time, at the stairs, four inn servants in blue clothes were holding trays filled with some preserved fruit snacks and hot tea and were heading to the sixth floor. When they saw the figure suddenly appear, they were startled and almost lost the balance of the trays in their hands and fell down.
Then the servants were a little frightened and didn't dare to offend him at all, so they bowed their heads and greeted him quickly.
"Master"
"What are you going to do?" Fang Tangjing asked with a frown. The sixth floor was the place where the ancestors lived, and even they could not go up there without permission.
"Replying to the master, the master on the sixth floor asked the shopkeeper to prepare some snacks, tea and wine to entertain the guests." The servant who was being targeted hurriedly replied, fearing that he would be too late.
They, the servants working in the inn, knew that these were big shots whom they could not afford to offend. They heard that on the first day, one of them was killed by the other party because he did something wrong. They saw with their own eyes the shopkeeper carrying the body of their companion down and were so scared that they wanted to quit. However, they were scolded by the shopkeeper. If they left and the news leaked out, they would be angry with these big shots. So they could only bite the bullet and stay here to serve carefully.
Fang Tangjing raised his eyebrows when he heard this. The ancestor is back? And there are guests?
Then he frowned. The ancestor must have received the news when he came back, so why didn't he summon them for questioning?
"You go!" He waved his hand.
On the other side, in a spacious room on the sixth floor of the inn, the door opened and several servants brought snacks with trays.
"You guys get out."
The burly man in black clothes standing behind a screen asked the servant to put the snacks on a table and asked him to leave. Then he picked up the teacup himself and walked behind the screen.
Behind the screen, four figures were sitting on the floor at a low table.
It was the ancestor of the Fang family, and the three heroes of Yan who followed him!
Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan, Mountain-shaking Tiger Hu Yanqing, and Mad Sword Yu Wenguang.
Han Shanhu is the big bearded man, and Kuang Dao Yuwen Guang is the swordsman who stopped Chen Yuan outside Tianxiong Pass.
"You three don't have to be restrained. Since you are willing to follow me, please give me this face. I will not make things difficult for you three."
"Haha, if your Taisui Lord knew that I was bullying the weak, he would definitely break my old bones."
At this time, the ancestor of the Fang family, who was sitting at the top, raised his hand and asked the three of them to have tea, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
The three heroes from Yandi who came from Taisui Mountain saw that the ancestor of the Fang family seemed to be willing to give in, but they did not show any happy expression. As the old man became more experienced, he knew that the other party had the same goal as them, so there must be something else going on.
As expected, the Fang family ancestor narrowed his eyes and uttered a breath like a broken bellows: "Since we all have the same goal, let's find that ship together. I think you all know what that ship represents. The things left behind by the Dragon and Tiger masters must be full of dangers. Even Musashi is not safe. Do you understand what I mean?"
As he spoke, his small eyes flashed with brilliance as he looked at the three of them.
After hearing this, the three cursed in their hearts. This old man spoke in high-sounding terms, but he just didn't want to hand the person over.
But the old man was right about one thing. The ship was suspected to be the place of fortune after the dragon and tiger sat in meditation. Opportunities are accompanied by dangers, and they are difficult to predict. They had not thought about it before coming because it was just a rumor before. They came to try their luck and verify it. As a result, the people under their command found a clue. Now the ancestor of the Fang family has joined, which further proves the authenticity of the news. The three looked at each other and secretly communicated with each other.
"This old fellow wants to eat for free, how absurd." The bearded man named Hanshanhu snorted angrily.
"But the person is now in this man's hands, and this old monster is of the same generation as the old village chief. His strength is unfathomable, and he is probably half a step into the Dragon and Tiger realm." Kuang Dao Yu Wenguan said cautiously, meaning that the three of them could not defeat the enemy, and the people who were looking for the boat were also kidnapped by the other party.
"Huh, who knows whether it's true or not?" The bearded man was still angry.
"This matter happened too suddenly. I brought you two here on a whim. I didn't expect it to be true. This matter still needs to be discussed. We should first deal with the ancestor of the Fang family." Yu Qilin Jin Yushan made a decision in a steady voice.
This Yu Qilin was a meticulous and observant person. During the interval of transmitting the message, he saw that the follower standing next to the ancestor of the Fang family seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he took the opportunity to change the subject.
"This matter is of great importance, and we need to make a long-term plan. I see the person next to you, and it seems that he wants to tell you something. You just came back in a hurry, so I think he has something to say. Should we avoid him first?"
Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan spoke in a calm voice, then raised his eyebrows and glanced at the burly man in black.
When the Fang family ancestor heard this, he glanced at the big man standing next to him with cloudy eyes. The follower's face changed immediately. He knew the ancestor's temper. The ancestor seemed to be discussing something important about that thing. He failed to control his expression and disturbed the ancestor's discussion. He couldn't help feeling a little panicked for a moment.
"It doesn't matter!"
"It's just that an uninvited guest came to see me and made a scene here. Let him wait first!" The ancestor of the Fang family had no expression on his face, but his voice was a little cold.
"Oh?" This made Jin Yushan a little curious, but before he could reply, he heard a dull voice coming from outside the room.
"Tang Jing wants to see the ancestor!"
The sound entered the room and reached the ears of the Fang family's ancestor, causing the seemingly frail old man to frown.
"come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened without wind, and Fang Tangjing, the eldest son of the Fang family, walked in. Behind him, there was another figure.
As soon as the figure entered the room, he slid down to his knees, crying.
"Please, ancestor, make the decision for me!"
As he said this, he bowed his head to the ground and sobbed.
It was Fang Mingyue with bruises on her face.
The three heroes of Yan behind the screen were somewhat puzzled by this "posture" and looked at the ancestor of the Fang family with inquiring eyes, asking whether he should avoid suspicion.
The old ancestor of the Fang family coughed and shook his head, his cloudy eyes flashing with a hint of gloom.
"cough cough"
"It doesn't matter!"
"It's a shameful thing for our family. When someone comes to our house and beats us up, we can only cry and wail. We have to find an old man like me to complain. I'm sorry to make you three laugh."
Jin Yushan and the other two thought of what the Fang family ancestor had just said about an uninvited guest in the inn, and their expressions became a little strange for a moment.
"Who from this remote little county dares to come here to fight, senior?" Jin Yushan frowned, somewhat suspicious.
"It doesn't hurt to say it out loud. If the three of you come to Shu, you will definitely have to deal with this person in the future. If you want to find that ship, this person may be a problem!" The Fang family's ancestor spoke in a low voice. As he spoke, he seemed to think Fang Mingyue's crying was a bit noisy, and a trace of impatience flashed across his old face.
"Other name!"
"I already know what happened. A group of people were beaten into a mess, but they still have the nerve to stay here. You go down first and let that person come up. I will come to meet this famous General!"
Fang Mingyue raised her face, tears glistening in her eyes, and made a crying expression, "Grandfather, the ninth mountain general is too much."
Accusing with tears in his eyes.
At this moment, behind the screen, the three heroes of Yan from Taisui Mountain were sitting there leisurely "eating melons", but suddenly, as if some key words were triggered, their expressions changed immediately.
what?
The Ninth Mountain General?
How did this person appear here?
The three of them either frowned or looked surprised. Such obvious changes in expression naturally could not escape the eyes of the ancestor of the Fang family who was standing next to them.
Seeing this, the old ancestor said leisurely:
"It seems that you three also know this Ninth Mountain General. Yes, this person is very famous in Shu. In addition, he has encountered some problems recently, which has caused a lot of uproar. Did you know that the court sent a demon-suppressing envoy? Haha, the people in Shu thought that this person would become the local demon-suppressing envoy."
This old fellow seemed to want to pull the three people from Taisui Mountain into a unified front to find a boat. He talked about Chen Yuan's origins and said a lot. His tone seemed to be pessimistic about the Ninth Mountain General.
When Jin Yushan and the other two heard this, they all looked a little strange, as they had known this news for a long time.
Obviously, the news of the battle at Tianxiong Pass has not yet reached this remote small county, and the ancestor of the Fang family does not know about it yet.
In the Battle of Tianxiong Pass, the Ninth Mountain General charged into the 150,000-strong imperial army, defeated the three Musashi families, fought against the Demon Suppressor, and even led his men to fight against the Dragon and Tiger Projections.
Moreover, there is another key point, this person is personally taken care of by the local demon-suppressing general.
The three of them looked at each other for a moment. For some reason, they wanted to make this guy, who was taking advantage of his age, suffer a little and not tell the ancestor of the Fang family the news.
But Yu Qilin Jin Yushan's mind raced, and he thought carefully. The ancestor of the Fang family had unfathomable magical powers, was half a step into the Dragon and Tiger realm, and the Ninth Mountain General was an even tougher man. The battle at Tianxiong Pass was particularly vivid in his mind. If the two really fought, no matter what the situation, the three of them would be hated by both sides and would not end well.
Their appearance here now is equivalent to being involved in this "unprovoked disaster".
"senior!"
"Wait a minute!"
Jin Yushan suddenly stood up and spoke out to stop them, his face solemn.
When Fang Shiqing saw this, the wrinkles on his face piled up and his cloudy eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
"Nephew Jin, do you have anything to say?" The old ancestor of the Fang family seemed to be thinking about something.
Jin Yushan looked serious and said, "Senior, you may not know that a big event happened at Tianxiong Pass the day before yesterday."
"150,000 imperial celestial troops arrived at Tianxiong Pass the day before yesterday. Did you know that the Ninth General of the Mountain personally went to Tianxiong Pass and led the two pass troops to charge into the imperial army? He defeated the three Musashi families alone and fought hard against the imperial demon envoy who had stepped into the threshold of creation. Finally, the dragon and tiger projections descended and led the people to resist!"
"On to the next piece of advice!"
"Peace is the most important thing. Don't provoke this Ninth Mountain General!"
As soon as these words came out, the old ancestor of the Fang family changed his expression. (End of this chapter)
