A lonely pavilion, a gust of autumn wind.
To the left of Single Sword Mountain, there was another perilous peak that stood side by side with Single Sword Peak. It was called Sword Cometh Peak.
Sword Cometh Peak was not as tall and straight as the First Sword Peak, nor was it as steep and strange as the First Sword Peak.
Therefore, many people would head straight to Single Sword Peak when they arrived at Single Sword Mountain. Very few people would even think of visiting Sword Cometh Peak.
Sword Cometh Peak was a natural supporting role, a vassal of Single Sword Peak.
However, Sword Cometh Peak was not lonely today. Because it also welcomed travelers who knew how to appreciate it.
"If life is only like the first time we met, why does the autumn wind grieve the painting fan? The heart of an old friend is always changing, but the heart of an old friend is always changing. " A young man in a black suit stood at the side of the gazebo, holding a high-powered telescope in his hand. He was looking at the top of One Sword Peak in the distance.
He was reciting Nalan Rongruo's' Ode of Mulan ', and it sounded like he was thinking about something else.
No one answered, except for the whistling of the autumn wind and the rustling of the grass.
"Money can't buy a person's heart. The hardest thing to buy is the human heart. It's also the most volatile thing. "The man in the suit sighed softly. He handed the binoculars in his hand to an old man in a black Tang suit beside him, turned to look at a man in white behind him, and asked, "What do you think?"
"This song is a bit too sad." The white-robed man's face was as clear as jade as he said calmly. "I prefer the lines, 'Friends and relatives in Luoyang ask each other, a heart of ice in a jade pot.'"
"A piece of ice heart in the jade pot. How many people are willing to put their hearts in a jade pot? "The man in the suit sighed. "What about you? Is your Ice Heart in the jade pot? "
"Young Master, you know the answer," the white-robed man said.
"I don't know the answer." The man in the suit shook his head. He glanced at everyone present and said, "The human heart is unpredictable. No matter how good I am at calculating, I can't calculate the human heart. What I want is nothing more than for everyone to work together to do something that will make us stand out from the crowd. Isn't it true that benefits are eternal? "
The white-robed man smiled and said: "That is true, but it sounds like — —"
"It doesn't sound elegant, does it?" the man in the suit asked.
"Young Master is wise."
"I'm not wise." The suited man shook his head. "I used to think I was smart. There were countless halos above his head, and he did a few things that he felt good about himself. At that time, he felt that he was unparalleled in the world and that nothing could stump him. The riches and honor of the human world are freely available. At this stage, it's very easy for people to lose control, and it's very easy for them to miss a step. "
"Later, I met Fang Yan, a man I had to call an opponent. The slap in the face at the Maple Leaf Club was really memorable. For a long time, there was a bloody taste in my mouth. That slap had completely awakened me. It had pushed me down from midair, letting me know that I wasn't omnipotent, and that I could also be knocked down by others. Most importantly, he told me not to underestimate anyone, because there's a saying that goes, 'it's better to be safe than sorry'. "
"Fang Yan hid in Swallow Dock for three years, but I was busy in the outside world for three years. Why? To do a few more things, to succeed a few more times, because only by doing a lot of successful things would people forget the scene at the Maple Leaf Club. I wanted to wash away the shame. "
"Later, I found out that I was wrong. No matter how many things you did, no matter how many times you succeeded. As long as you met Fang Yan, as long as someone mentioned Fang Yan, they would mention that failure and the fact that you're not as good as Fang Yan. Fang Yan had become a thorn in my side, a deep ravine that I had no choice but to face. So, when Fang Yan came to Huacheng, I also followed him to Huacheng. "
"Young Master, Fang Yan is just a grasshopper after autumn. There are only a few days left until autumn. He won't be jumping around for much longer," a man in black said aloud.
The suited man smiled silently and said, "See, even you don't believe that we can keep him here tonight?"
"Young Master, I didn't mean that." The man in black repeatedly denied. He knew that General Jun Xin was gloomy. If he let General Jun Xin bear a grudge against him, he probably wouldn't have a good life in the future. "We'll definitely keep him here tonight. He won't live to see tomorrow."
The man in the suit waved his hand and said, "After I arrived at Huacheng, I clashed with Fang Yan a few times. We fought a few times in the open and in the dark. You all know the result. I lost terribly. I'm not as good as Fang Yan. "
Everyone's expression was ugly. They didn't know how to respond to Jiang Junling's words.
Jiang Junling's heart was higher than the sky, and he was arrogant. He said that he was not as good as Fang Yan in front of his subordinates. What was he playing at? He couldn't be thinking of silencing them after saying those words, right?
"Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Jiang Junling pointed at his own head and said, "When a person who only worshipped intelligence and thought that there was nothing that couldn't be solved with intelligence, had to place all his hopes on force, it's really ironic. The longer I stay in Huacheng, the more disadvantageous my situation is. Right now, there are all kinds of rumors against me in Yan Jing city. They say that I've been imprisoned by Fang Yan in Huacheng and can't advance or retreat. My brother must have done a lot of things behind the scenes. "
Everyone was silent. This was an internal conflict of the General family. It wasn't something outsiders like them could interfere in.
"That's why we're gathered here tonight. I don't like to walk at night. But tonight, I ran with you to this barren mountain top. I thought I was prepared. I thought I prepared well enough. First, I let Senior Martial Addict waste his energy. Then, I sent enough people to ambush him. When he was at his weakest, I gave him a fatal blow. What was that silver light just now? Oh, someone told me that it was the light of Tai Chi. How ironic. His heart of Tai Chi has broken through again. Even the heavens are on his side? "
"I don't believe in Buddha. I don't worship heaven and earth. I only believe in everything that I have. "Jiang Junling pointed at his head again." And here. "
"To me, this battle is very crucial. Very important. If we win, we will return with honor. If we lose, I will be hidden by the family and become an abandoned pawn. That's why. "Jiang Junling bowed deeply to the people around him.
Everyone hurriedly moved away.
Who would dare to accept a ninety degree bow from this young master? Wouldn't that be shortening their lifespan?
If they accept it now, then he might think about it and feel uncomfortable. Who knows, he might give you a hard time.
Jiang Junling raised his head. His eyes shined as he looked at everyone. With an extremely serious tone, he said: "Everyone, you are my strongest friends. You are also my last hope. Please lend me your strength. Please lend me your luck. This battle, we will definitely win. "
"We will definitely win." Two young men in black said excitedly. A kind of excited feeling of a warrior dying for a bosom friend spread through their bodies.
"We are willing to die for young master." The two silent old men who had been following by the General Ling's side all this while and had cultivated the 'Silent Zen' said. Because they had not spoken for far too long, their voices were dry and shriveled. However, their sincerity was enough to move one's heart.
The white-robed man wore a wide-sleeved robe and held a longsword in his hand as he said with a faint smile, "We await young master's orders."
Jiang Junling nodded at everyone, before angrily shouting, "Today, at this time, we will kill Fang Yan."
Crash — —
Two men in black charged towards the foot of the mountain.
Whoosh — —
The two men in black who had been following closely by Jiang Junling's side continuously flashed, before disappearing into the mountain forest.
The long-robed man nodded at Jiang Junling with a faint smile. "Take care, young master."
After speaking, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
He used the word 'walk', but his footsteps were as swift as the wind. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the two men in black.
Sword Cometh Peak regained its tranquility once again. Only Jiang Junling was left guarding the old pavilion alone.
Jiang Junling used a pair of binoculars to observe the world on the other side as he softly said, "The saying of Mount Li ends in the middle of the clear night, and the ringing bells of the night rain do not complain. How is it better to be a man in embroidered robes, to be together like a pair of wings and branches. It's really a sad thing for old friends to meet each other in arms. "
"Cover your face again. I don't want to see your face."
To think that Fang Yan would make such a request in the middle of an intense battlefield.
Just how ugly and terrifying must his face be to make Fang Yan feel fear?
Fang Yan handed the black veil over, but the black-clothed man did not reach out to take it.
"You already knew who I was, right?" The man in black asked. His voice was light, and contained a little gentleness and coquettishness, like the whispers of a lover being blown over by the wind from afar.
"There's no need for anyone I don't know to cover their face. What's the point of covering their face with a veil for someone I know? " Fang Yan's expression twitched as he did his best to suppress the churning anger and sadness in his heart, as well as the tears that threatened to spill out of his eyes.
He was a man with a strong will, but when it came to emotions, he was as weak as a child.
He did not know how to deal with such a situation.
He hoped that these people were all strangers. They were all enemies who wanted to kill him.
Only then would he feel at ease, and feel that it was only natural.
"Yes, how could you not recognize me?" The man in black smiled soundlessly. Her eyes were red as large beads of tears rolled down her cheeks. "You're such a smart person, how could you not guess who I am? Only someone who wants to cover up would do such a stupid thing. I'm not stupid either, but I don't know why, but I still want to cover my face with a black cloth. Because I really don't know how to face you — — "
"Not to mention you?" Fang Yan gritted his teeth, his fingers deeply digging into the flesh of his palm. His eyes turned blood red, and the hostility in his heart accumulated to the highest point before exploding with a 'bang'. His eyes coldly stared at the man in black, and his words pierced the heart. "Why you?"
