"I have an aunt who is being raised in that nunnery. Grandpa wanted to leave a way out for the Tang family, or maybe he wanted to ensure her safety, so he didn't dare to let anyone know. But when I was young, he liked to hold me on his lap and tell me a lot of stories, and this story is one of them. He thought I was young at that time, but he didn't know that I remembered everything. "
Tang Thirty-Six looked at the manor on the other side of the river and said in a daze.
Chen Chang Sheng glanced at him and asked, "How old were you then?"
Tang Thirty-Six replied, "About a year old."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "You can actually remember things from when you were so young?"
Tang Thirty-Six said, "Maybe I'm smarter than others."
Chen Chang Sheng said emotionally, "Isn't this a bit too early?"
"Who am I? I'm a genius. "
This was something worth laughing at, but neither Chen Chang Sheng nor Tang Thirty Six laughed.
After a moment of silence, Tang Thirty-Six continued, "I don't know who the old master had that daughter with, but he probably only loved that woman his entire life, so the person he truly loved was that daughter. It was precisely because I truly loved her that I knew that Old Master wouldn't let her become the head of the family. I wasn't afraid of her, so I brought this matter up. Yes, I just want to use the woman from Chicken Crow Nunnery to threaten Grandpa. "
Chen Chang Sheng didn't know what to say.
Tang Thirty Six glanced at him and asked, "Do you think I'm very cold-blooded and heartless now?"
"Daoist Baishi is dead … I ordered it."
Chen Chang Sheng suddenly said something that seemed unrelated. His gaze fell upon the dark surface of the river.
Yesterday, the Tang clan's Fivekind Man and Chusu had engaged in a great battle here. Poisonous blood had splattered everywhere, and the banks of the river were filled with foul and foul poison Qi.
The Tang family had already started to clean up, but many fish had died.
He and Tang Thirty Six had good eyesight. No matter how dark the environment was, they could still see the dead fish on the rotten mud.
In the Orthodox Academy, Tang Thirty-Six had told him not to sink into the mud, so what about now?
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Does this count as us becoming the kind of people we hated the most in the past?"
Tang Thirty-Six said, "If that can change something, it's also good."
Chen Chang Sheng asked, "For example?"
Tang Thirty-Six pointed to the opposite bank and said, "If you hadn't done that, the darkness on the other side of the river would have fallen behind us."
On both sides of the river were the manors of the Tang family's first and second branch. There were no lights on the other side of the river. It was dark and gloomy.
It was unknown how many people from the second branch had died since yesterday.
Just like what Tang Thirty Six said, if they lost, it would be the eldest branch's turn to suffer.
Tang Thirty-Six said, "Thank you."
Chen Chang Sheng replied, "You're welcome."
…
…
According to Tang Thirty-Six's request, before the sun set, the Tang Second Master was dead.
The next morning, he personally went to the autopsy and confirmed that there were no problems.
The Orthodoxy had dispatched Linghai Zhiwang. According to his report to Chen Changsheng upon his return, Tang Thirty-Six had fallen silent for a very long time, his thoughts inscrutable.
After taking Chen Chang Sheng's medicine, Eldest Fang's condition stabilized a lot, but he still hadn't woken up from his coma.
The sinister poison had already seeped deep into his internal organs, and it would be very troublesome to completely remove it. He had to start with the Longevity Sect.
The Tang clan had already dispatched people to the Longevity Sect, and it was said that the blind zither player might also be secretly accompanying them. Tang Thirty-Six was still worried and decided to personally go.
Chen Changsheng also wanted to go to the south. There were several important matters he needed to take care of.
Three years had passed since the confluence of the north and south had come to an agreement, and there was also a possibility that the north and south of the Orthodoxy could be reunited.
In the southern faction of the Orthodoxy, the Longevity Sect had already withered and no longer had much strength. It could only secretly make a few small moves, and the Li Palace needed to convince Holy Maiden Peak.
Based on the relationship between Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong, there really was a chance that this matter would succeed, and the Orthodoxy really might return to its former glory.
To the Orthodoxy, this was naturally a good thing, but to the Imperial Court, this was not necessarily the case.
Everyone left Wenshui City, and it was time to part.
The first to leave was Guan Fei Bai. Logically speaking, Mount Li and the Longevity Sect were both in the south, so he was completely capable of traveling with Chen Changsheng and the others. However, he had received news that his eldest brother would soon return to the mountain, so he couldn't help but feel somewhat anxious. Two days ago, when Chen Changsheng had gone to the old estate, he had remained in the Daoist church because of his injuries, so he didn't know that a certain person had appeared outside the old estate.
Chen Changsheng already had a vague idea of what was going on. He said to Guan Fei Bai, "I saw your senior brother. Help me say hello."
Guan Fei Bai believed that he was speaking of Gou Hanshi, so he didn't think too much about it and naturally agreed. He then turned to Zhexiu and said, "If your illness can be cured, you can come to Mount Li at any time. No one will stop you, but if your illness cannot be cured and you are destined to die a violent death, then do not harm Junior Sister. We will not let you meet."
Zhexiu's expression did not change, as if he had not heard these words.
Chen Changsheng took a sword and placed it in front of Guan Fei Bai. "Your sword is broken. I picked one for you, but I don't know if it's suitable or not."
That night in the rear garden of the Daoist church, Guan Fei Bai's sword, which was only worth a few qian of silver, had been broken by Chusu. Chen Changsheng had always wanted to get a sword for him. The reason he had not given it to him two days ago, besides Guan Fei Bai's injuries, was also because he did not want the Mount Li Sword Sect to be dragged into the mess of the Tang clan because of his affairs.
Everyone knew that Chen Changsheng had many swords at his side, and they were all very good swords.
Guan Fei Bai gazed at this sword that exuded an ancient aura and yet did not lose its sharpness, his eyes slightly brightening.
This sword also came from the Garden of Zhou, from the Sword Pool. It was called Army Breaker, derived from the meaning of strength that could break ten thousand armies. It was extremely suitable for his personality. Unexpectedly, Guan Fei Bai did not immediately accept it. After a moment of silence, he said, "I didn't do anything in this matter, and we already owe you too many favors. We can't owe you any more."
He was talking about how his martial uncle from the Mount Li Sword Sect had been saved by the Cinnabar Pill, and also about how Chen Changsheng had escorted Su Li ten thousand li back south several years ago.
Because of Eldest Brother and that engagement, because of the matter between Junior Sister and Zhexiu, the disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect were very unwilling to owe Chen Changsheng favors.
Otherwise, they would truly feel embarrassed to fall out with Chen Changsheng in the future.
"If you really feel that you owe me anything, you've already paid it off after yesterday."
Chen Changsheng was speaking of the scene outside the old estate yesterday. If Luo Bu had not taken the Yellow Paper Umbrella and said something to the Tang Old Master, the Tang Old Master would never have handed over Wenshui City for two hours, and naturally, none of the events that followed would have occurred.
Guan Fei Bai didn't understand what he was talking about and was unwilling to take the sword.
Tang Thirty-Six said, "What's a sword worth? I took several hundred of his swords and still didn't feel anything. "
Guan Fei Bai replied, "That's because there are very few people in the world who are as shameless as you."
Tang Thirty-Six said, "This is called being free and at ease … take the sword. In the future, if we really do fall out, just don't use this sword."
Guan Fei Bai thought it over, then said, "That's reasonable. If that day really does come, remember to remind me."
