A knife in love

Chapter 505

Yu Chengsi, the man in Tsing Yi, was only 20 years old, but this time he was doing business with Yu Fan, but he was just out of the rivers and lakes.Hearing what Yu Fan said, although he nodded in agreement on the surface, he thought to himself: "My brother from the same clan has been in the industry for nearly 20 years. He has been in the world and officialdom for a long time, so he is a bit old-fashioned. Brothers of the same clan have gone through many ups and downs, lost their vigor, and lost their spirits. I have to be vigilant all the time, and I won’t be like them in a few years.”

Yu Fan has been in the officialdom and the world for a long time, and he is good at insight into people's hearts. Seeing Chengsi's appearance, he naturally knows that he is dissatisfied.Then he said: "Recently, a young swordsman suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes. His martial arts are extremely good. What's even more amazing is that no one knows about this person's experience before he appeared. Just because no one knows the origin of this person's martial arts, Tang He , Yun Feiyang and other great masters will be taken by him, and they will be folded in his hands one after another. Chengsi, you are a master trained by the fourth grandfather himself, and it will not be difficult to become No. 1 in martial arts in the future. It's just that you are young , showing his sharpness, but something is wrong."

Although Yu Chengsi was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to refute openly, so he nodded repeatedly and said in his mouth: "Your Excellency taught you a very good lesson, Chengsi must remember it."

Yu Fan patted Yu Chengsi's right shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Although you and I are more than 20 years old, in terms of seniority, we are brothers of the same clan. It's just that what we do on this trip is related to The lives of more than a hundred people are in danger, so we have to act cautiously. Seven grandpas traveled all their lives, four of them died unfortunately, and the remaining three were also injured or disabled. Only then did we find out some clues. Everyone Uncle exhausted his efforts and planned for six years, and finally came up with such a seamless plan. You and I are both the pioneer of this plan and the key to the success or failure of the plan. Since two years ago, you have only been called me in the clan It's really hard for you to be called 'adult' instead of 'elder brother' and treat him like a servant serving his master."

Yu Chengsi felt sour, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, this is what Chengsi should do."

Yu Fan shook his head and said, "During the past five or six hundred years, countless ancestors have lost their lives, disappeared, or been disabled because of this matter. This time, we must do our best to eliminate this bad luck from both of you and me, so that future generations will no longer be tortured by this suffering."

Yu Chengsi said respectfully: "Follow your lord's instruction."

The two chatted for a few more words, Yu Chengsi pointed to the food and drink on the table and said: "My lord, these food and drink..."

Yu Fan didn't wait for him to finish, and said in a deep voice: "There is no harm in being cautious in everything. These wine and vegetables are absolutely inedible. Put all the wine and vegetables into a cloth bag tomorrow morning, and when you leave the inn, find a safe place to throw them away." Can."

Yu Chengsi sniffed the aroma of the wine, and sighed: "It's a pity that this is the best daughter red."

After tidying up, the two blew out the candles and went to bed to rest.After a while, Yu Chengsi was already snoring loudly.But Yu Fan was full of worries, lying on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.Inadvertently turned his head and looked out of the window, through the window paper, he could see the shadow of the tree shaking, adding to his melancholy.He quietly put on his clothes and got out of bed, walked to the window and gently opened the window.

It was Haishi at this time, and a bright moon in the sky shone on the earth, and it was like a heavy snowfall, reflecting a hazy white light everywhere.There were no people on the street long ago. Standing on the Tianyi Inn and looking out, you could see the lanterns lit on the city wall of Luoyang from a distance.Other than that, there was no light at all.

Yu Fan stood in front of the window in a cloak, looking at the huge city of Luoyang, which was so quiet, he was filled with emotion.Decades of past events suddenly came to my mind, and I couldn't help but sighed softly.At this moment, he inadvertently glanced at the corner of the street on the right, but saw a stone archway standing on the street corner, and there was a person standing under the stone archway.This person was wearing a deep hat and gray clothes, looking up at Tianyi Inn.

The two went up and down, one up and one down, with a distance of more than twenty feet. Although neither of them could see each other's face clearly, they could feel the opponent's blade-like eyes.

Seeing Yu Fan looking towards him, the man lowered his head, and the wide bamboo hat immediately covered his face tightly.Yu Fan's heart trembled, he turned his head and was about to wake Yu Chengsi up, but after a second thought, Yu Chengsi was impatient, if he found someone watching the two of them, he would definitely rush out to compete with that person.This city of Luoyang hides dragons and crouching tigers, and has a heavy responsibility on its own, which has alarmed the government.Thinking of this, he dismissed the idea, turned his head and looked towards the street corner again.But he saw no one under the stone archway, and he thought that the person wearing the deep hat had quietly left when he turned his head.

Suspicious in his heart, Yu Fan stretched out his hand to gently close the window, peeped out for a long time through the gap of the window, saw no one was there, then slowly walked back to the bed, and lay down on the bed with his clothes on.He thought through the plan that had been deduced countless times among his fellow disciples from beginning to end, and he was sure that there was no flaw in it, so he felt relieved, thinking that the man in gray was probably a disciple of a local gang in Luoyang , was dispatched by the elders of the sect to monitor himself outside the inn.To blame can only be blamed for a momentary mistake, and rescued the two urchins.The relationships among the various local gangs are complicated, and they fight each other openly and covertly. At a time when a wonderful balance of power is being maintained, someone suddenly shows off his martial arts in front of thousands of people, which will definitely cause uneasiness among the various gangs. What kind of change is the moment when it affects the whole situation.And the more such a moment, the more you have to pretend nothing happened.As the saying goes, don't be surprised when you see the strange, the strange will defeat itself.As long as the two big gangs Shijiadao and Leiquanmen don't make trouble for themselves, the other small gangs won't be able to cause any trouble.After three or four days, I will take up the post in Xiuwu County, so I don't need to worry about any entanglements with these martial arts gangs in Luoyang.Thinking of this, Yu Fan felt relieved, and before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Yu Fan found an old clothes from his luggage, poured all the dishes into the clothes and wrapped them up, and spilled a jug of wine all over the room.At this time, the waiter brought up a food box and brought it up, saying that early in the morning, someone from the historian had sent someone to deliver the food and wine to the cabinet, please enjoy it to Master Yu.In addition, Jinxiufang in Luoyang City sent a package of clothes, which was said to be the clothes, shoes and socks for the two masters at the Jinxiufang of Thunder Fist Gate yesterday evening.More than a dozen embroiderers in Jinxiu Workshop stayed up all night, and finally finished their clothes before dawn, and sent them to Tianyi Inn early in the morning.

When Yu Chengsi saw the food box, although he twitched his index finger, he could only swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva when he thought of Yu Fan's words.Yu Fan didn't expect that the two big gangs sent gifts early in the morning, which confirmed his speculation last night.He knew that the world is the most polite, and people in the martial arts are the most face-saving, so he must not return the gifts from the two major gangs, otherwise there will be a grudge.Pretending to be pleasantly surprised at the moment, he took the wine, food and clothes, and rewarded the little girl with a few coins.The Xiao Er was naturally extremely happy, and left happily.

When the little girl was far away, Yu Fan whispered to Cheng Si: "These two big gangs are wrestling with each other, and neither of us will offend them. They just pretended to go sightseeing in the past two days, so naturally they dare not make things difficult for us .”

After the two packed up, they left the guest room.When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the inn, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er came to greet them early in the morning.Yu Fan said a few polite words, and saw a beggar sitting at the door of the inn, secretly staring at him from time to time, and there were a few idlers not far away, who were talking together.It's just that these people have lightning-like eyes and tall and straight figures, obviously they are all martial arts practitioners.Yu Fan pretended not to care, and casually asked the shopkeeper and Xiaoer where the Guandi Shengjun Temple was.The shopkeeper hurriedly told Yu Fan the detailed route, and tried to find a small sedan chair for Yu Fan.Yu Fan hastily declined, saying that he just wanted to go for a walk and enjoy the scenery outside Luoyang City, so the shopkeeper gave up.

Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi left Tianyi Inn and walked towards the south of the city.After leaving the south gate of Luoyang City, we meandered all the way to the south.After walking fifteen or six miles, I saw a house with red walls and green tiles in the distance.At this time, there were also more pedestrians around. Listening to their words, they were all pilgrims who were going to offer incense at Guandi Shengjun Temple.Yu Fan knew that there must be people in the world watching him, but he didn't take it to heart.After walking for a while, we have arrived at the gate of Guandi Shengjun Temple.

I saw a white archway with five rooms and six pillars standing in front of the gate, which was very majestic and majestic.After passing the archway, it is the gate of Guandi Shengjun Temple.The gate is a palace-style house covered with green tiles, and four huge red columns stand in front of the gate.At this time, the red gate has been opened, and pilgrims from all over the world are walking towards the temple in an endless stream.Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi mixed in the crowd and walked into the temple slowly.

After entering the gate, there is a long corridor in front of you, leading directly to the main hall more than ten feet away.The corridor is more than one foot wide, with stone railings standing on both sides. There are 36 watchtowers in total, and more than a hundred stone lions are carved on the watchtowers.Dozens of towering ancient trees stand outside the stone railing of the corridor.At this time, it is the cold winter season, and the branches of the ancient trees are like iron, just like a majestic military general, standing outside the hall, guarding the Chinese army's tent for Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, the number one general in China in the past.

Yu Fan held his hands behind his back, and Yu Chengsi followed closely behind him. They followed the pilgrims and walked along the corridor to the main hall.At this time, the pilgrims who rushed to the temple early in the morning had already lit high incense in front of the main hall, and the entire Guandi Shengjun Temple was filled with smoke and a strange fragrance.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Yu Fan recalled that he had been here more than [-] years ago, but his parents who accompanied him had passed away, and he was deeply moved.When he was lamenting the ruthlessness of the years in his heart, he heard Yu Chengsi lower his voice and whisper in his ear: "My lord, the person who rescued the actor at Cuiyun Peak yesterday has also come."

Yu Fan's heart trembled, but he knew that there were a lot of eyeliners around him, so he pretended to be nonchalant and said in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Yu Chengsi said in a low voice: "That man is ten steps ahead to the right of your lord, wearing gray clothes..."

At this time, the two had reached the end of the corridor, before the main hall.Yu Fan looked forward according to his words, but saw a huge stone trough on the left side of the entrance of the main hall, filled with incense candles.Not far behind the stone trough, there was indeed a man in gray standing.When Yu Fan looked over, this person happened to turn his head.When the eyes of the two met, Yu Fan's heart trembled, and he recognized that this person was the man in gray clothes who stood at the corner of the street and looked towards Tianyi Inn last night, but at this time he was not wearing a hat. wearing a bamboo hat.Although Yu Fan didn't see this person's face clearly last night, he remembered his figure, and what's more, when their eyes collided, it was the same as last night.

The man in gray was not surprised, smiled at Yu Fan and nodded, as if greeting him.
