C12 A Hypocrite

This sword strike was the technique Yuen Xiaotian used to kill Shea Sangong. The man in black exclaimed: "It seems like you are not as simple as a servant!"

Duan Tianya kept his sword and replied, "You are not a simple killer either. "

The man in black covered his wound and sneered, "You do not intend to kill me?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "That sword did not kill you. You have the right to escape. "

At this time, Hu Meng and the others heard the sound of fighting and chased after them from the inn. When the black-clothed man saw that someone was coming, he said, "We will meet again in the future!" With that, he brought the other black-clothed man and jumped onto the roof, disappearing into the night sky.

Hu Meng saw the man in black jump onto the roof, ran over and asked Duan Tianya, "Who is that?"

Duan Tianya looked at the broken wine jar and said, "I don't know him. He is a man in black with high martial arts. "

Hu Meng was shocked and said, "Could he be the person who helped us in the backyard of the inn?"

Duan Tianya shook his head and smiled. "Impossible. Regardless of whether they are friends or enemies, their sword skills are not the same person. "

Hu Meng was puzzled. "How do you see it?"

Duan Tianya explained, "The wounds on the corpses were less than an inch deep. The wound on the throat was more than an inch deep. The sword used by this person must be narrow and thin. When this person fought me, I saw that the sword in his hand was a long sword. And it wasn't light, so it couldn't possibly cause that kind of wound " Then he added: "Moreover, this person's hair isn't white"

When Hu Meng heard that, he blurted out," It can't be Mr Yuen, right? " Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. The disciples seemed to be a little angry and unforgivable.

Hu Meng also felt that he had said something wrong. He scolded himself, "This lousy mouth of mine actually talks nonsense all day long!"

When Duan Tianya heard that, he laughed and said, "It can't be Mr Yuen. Although this person's martial arts skills are superb, compared to Mr Yuen, there is still a long way to go. " Everyone calmed down after hearing this.

The next day, in order to get to Wise Beings Manor as soon as possible, the group set off early. On the land covered with autumn frost, they were crushed by the carriage and left marks on the tracks.

Duan Tianya sat on the carriage and asked in a low voice through the curtain, "Yu Er, it's not too late to follow me now. "

There was no response from the carriage. He could only vaguely hear someone crying. Duan Tianya did not continue to ask. He was a smart person and naturally understood that there were some things that could not be forced.

It was almost noon, and the Wise Beings Manor was already in front of them. Looking from afar, this manor had an imposing manner that didn't lose out to the Yuen's Mansion. When they got closer, they saw that the vermillion gate was fitted with a golden lion gate ring, and the couplets carved on both sides resonated with the jade lions that were standing on both sides of the gate. In the middle of the gate, there were four big words, Wise Beings Manor.

When the group got off the carriage, Hu Meng saw what was happening and cursed, "Why didn't anyone come out to welcome us in this Wise Beings Manor that was killed a thousand times?"

At this moment, old master Lee stepped forward to dissuade him, "Zhuge Master is probably occupied with all kinds of affairs. Please calm down, Hero Hu. Wait for me to come forward and ask about it. "

Old master Lee shook his body and went forward to the two guards. He cupped his hands and said, "I am the relative of Zhuge Master. Today, I will bring my daughter and Young Master to marry on a date. I hope the two of you can pass the message. "

Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. A few people walked out from inside. The leader was a middle-aged man with a young man following behind him.

The middle-aged man had a deep look on his face. He had a square face, high cheek bones, and a brown beard. He looked somewhat ferocious. The young man looked like a talented man. He was elegant and gentle. His gestures and gestures were quite elegant.

The young man smiled as he walked forward and cupped his hands as he said, "It's actually the future Lord Yue. My son-in-law, Zhuge Xianliang, greets Lord Yue. " As he spoke, he kowtowed three times. After getting up, he continued, "Lord Yue, don't blame Lord Yue. My father suffered from a cold a few days ago. His entire body was unable to move, and fortunately, he was treated by a famous doctor. He was able to get off the bed and walk for a few days, but it was a little slow. I hope that you can forgive me for not being able to welcome you in time today! " After saying that, the middle-aged man next to him gave an apologetic look to the people around him.

Everyone took a look and saw that this middle-aged man was the Master of Wise Beings Manor, Zhuge Qun. However, he was seriously ill. His whole body was stiff, and he couldn't even lift his hand.

Old master Lee immediately smiled apologetically when he heard this. "What are you talking about, son-in-law? We will be a family from now on, how can I forgive you? "

Zhuge Xianliang smiled without saying anything. He turned around and cupped his fists at Duan Tianya and the others. "Friends of Yuen's Mansion have been working hard all the way here. Please come to the inner hall and have a seat. We will prepare some food and drinks later. Wise Beings Manor will express our gratitude. "

Hu Meng heard this and rushed into the inner hall. However, he was stopped by Duan Tianya and said: "Brother Hu, how can you have such a bad memory? I forgot that Mr Yuen is waiting for us to return to report to him! "

This question confused Hu Meng. He scratched the back of his head and asked, "Go back and report to him? You and me?"

Such a hasty answer could not be hidden from Zhuge Xianliang's eyes, so he cupped his fists. " May I ask how I should address you? "

Duan Tianya said indifferently, "I, Duan Tianya. "

Zhuge Xianliang smiled and replied, "So it is Duan. Sorry for the disrespect. " Then he cupped his fist.

Duan Tianya cupped his fist and said, "My elder brother has instructed that we are not allowed to stay after sending them here. We need to return to report to him as soon as possible. "

Zhuge Xianliang explained with a smile on his face. "Duan, don't worry about it. It was not just drinking and eating in the hall. There's something else that I need to trouble you to convey. "

With that said, it was not good to refuse. After counting the belongings on the carriage and handing Lee Yuer over to the matchmaker, they entered the main hall.

The banquet was ready and the food and drinks were sumptuous. Zhuge Qun was not feeling well, so he went back to rest with old master Lee. He also talked about the marriage and left Zhuge Xianliang and Zhang Luo behind for other matters.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhuge Xianliang took out an invitation card from his pocket and said to Duan Tianya, "Duan, you must pass this letter to Mr Yuen to read. " After saying that, he handed it over with both hands.

Duan Tianya looked at the letter in his hand and then looked at Zhuge Xianliang. He smiled and took the letter and said, "I will personally hand it over to Mr Yuen. "

At this moment, the matchmaker came over and whispered into Zhuge Xianliang's ear. When she heard him nod repeatedly, she could not help but smile. After the matchmaker left, Zhuge Xianliang raised his wine cup and said loudly, "Everyone, on the eighth of next month, it will be my, Zhuge Xianliang's, joyous day. I hope that everyone will come and have a few drinks at that time. " After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

After hearing the news, everyone went to congratulate him. Only Duan Tianya sat in the same spot, drinking wine and eating meat. At this moment, he was the only one who could understand his feelings. Only he could understand how painful it was in his heart. He did not hate anyone. Including himself, he understood the principle of not having any feelings because of the falling flowers. However, there were many things that couldn't be completely concealed. It was just like how paper couldn't wrap fire.

After the banquet had ended, Zhuge Xianliang was already drunk and had already decided to let Duan Tianya and the others stay in Wise Beings Manor for the night. It wouldn't be too late to rush back tomorrow. It was hard to refuse such kindness, so the group of people could only stay.

Three minutes later, in a two-story building, Lee Yuer's boudoir was still lit with candles. She was staring blankly at a bronze mirror. She didn't know when, but another person had appeared in the mirror. It was a young man with a sword. Lee Yuer turned around to look. He asked in a low voice in surprise, "Why is it you?"

Duan Tianya smiled faintly and said softly, "How could it not be me?"

Lee Yuer was a little frightened and said, "If you are discovered by the people guarding outside the door, we will not be able to escape even if we have wings. "

Duan Tianya said in a low voice, "Why should I run? Besides, they can't find me at all. "

Lee Yuer asked in confusion, "How did you come in?"

Duan Tianya pointed to a window above the attic and said, "You can come down from here. "

Lee Yuer asked worriedly, "Why didn't we find you with so many people guarding this place?"

Duan Tianya smiled and moved closer to Lee Yuer's ear. He said, "There are a total of ten people guarding this place, but eight of them have already gone to the horse house to drink. Only two people are guarding the corridor below. "

Lee Yuer took a deep breath and asked, "Are you here to take me away?" Her expression was a little silent.

Duan Tianya nodded and waited for an answer with his arms crossed.

Lee Yuer hesitated for a moment, turned around with his back facing Duan Tianya, and said with his head lowered: "You can go! I won't leave with you. "

Perhaps because he had guessed the outcome, Duan Tianya did not seem very surprised. He only asked indifferently, What do you think? "Why is that so?"

Lee Yuer replied, "I am a woman who loves vanity. Wise Beings Manor can give me everything I want. "

Duan Tianya said word by word, "Everything you want? Money? Status?"

Lee Yuer nodded heavily, his body trembling.

Duan Tianya said seriously, "I can give you these too. "

Lee Yuer turned around and cried like a man. He asked, "You? How can you give them to me? Are you going to fight me with your sword? "

Duan Tianya said angrily," Don't tell me Zhuge Xianliang doesn't need to fight with others now? You don't understand the life of the people in the Jianghu. " He was a little angry. Perhaps everyone would have this kind of emotion at this moment.

Lee Yuer did not answer back then. He waited for himself to calm down a little before he slowly said, "I don't understand the Jianghu people you are talking about. However, the Zhuge family has already made a name for themselves and has a prominent family background. Although I married into the Zhuge family and was taken in as a concubine, I have always been superior to them. And you are still a prodigal son in the martial arts world. If I wait until the day you succeed and become famous, how long will I have to wait? How much more suffering will I have to endure?"

Duan Tianya didn't say anything. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was already in chaos.

Lee Yuer calmed his emotions and suddenly said coldly: "Why do I have to wait for an unknown person like you when there is a ready-made one?"

When Duan Tianya heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He was warning himself not to cry. He turned around and was about to leave. Before he left, he said to Lee Yuer, "Since you have made up your mind, I will only give you one word of advice. The people of the Zhuge Family are a bunch of hypocritical people. Take care! " After saying that, he opened the window and disappeared, leaving behind Lee Yuer who was crying more and more sadly.

The next morning, Duan Tianya and his group bade farewell to Zhuge Qun and his son. They rode the horses they had prepared and galloped away.

They returned to Yuen's Mansion in less than three days. When they saw Yuen Xiaotian, they handed the invitation to him and told him everything that had happened in the past few days.

When Yuen Xiaotian heard this, he said with a deeper meaning, "This cunning Zhuge Qun really lives up to his reputation. "

Duan Tianya was puzzled and asked, "What does Mr Yuen mean by that?"

Yuen Xiaotian pulled Duan Tianya over and explained, "The eighth of next month is the day of his son's engagement, and it is also the time of the Alliance Master's Meeting, which is presided over by Wise Beings Manor. "
