Chapter 29 Section 29

Ritsu Xiangchuan's body suddenly went limp and paralyzed, he didn't look back, only hearing this person's voice, his whole body was already limp and paralyzed. There is only one person in the world who can walk behind him without his knowing. There is only one person in the world who can make him kneel down. old man. No one else, only the old man!Meng Xinghun's eyes were filled with hot tears, and he could hardly hold back the tears. The old man is still the same, hasn't changed, not even a little bit.It seems that no one or anything in the world can change him. He stood there, still standing straight, like a javelin stuck in the ground.

A faint starlight shone on his face.Only the wrinkles on his face seemed to have become deeper, but his eyes were still sharp, as if the sword had been drawn out of its box and the knife had been sheathed.But when he saw Meng Xinghun, those cold and sharp eyes were immediately filled with warmth.He only glanced at Lu Xiangchuan, then turned to Meng Xinghun. Meng Xinghun suddenly realized that his face was not completely expressionless. In fact, every wrinkle on his face was hiding so much emotion that no one could tell. Every wrinkle on his face was originally a trace of infinite painful experience.

Only this kind of wrinkles can hide his rich feelings.Meng Xinghun finally couldn't bear the hot tears to well up in his eyes. The old man stared at him for a long time, then nodded slowly and said: You are fine! He seemed to have a lot to say, but he only said these three words. Although there are only three words, to Meng Xinghun's ears, they are better than all the words in the world. Then he felt someone patting him on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw Yi Qianlong. Yi Qianlong's eyes are also full of smiles, it is no longer the old Jianghu's smile, but a warm and friendly smile.

He smiled and said: Now you should fully understand, right? Meng Xinghun shook his head.He really couldn't quite understand it, because he was so excited and delighted that he could hardly think at all. Yi Qianlong understood it very well, so he continued: "Not only did I not betray the old man, I also did not slip away.I never slipped by. Meng Xinghun suddenly understood, so he continued to speak for him: When others thought you slipped away, in fact, you were secretly training that batch of new blood for the old man. Yi Qianlong said: Yes, no matter any organization is like a person, it needs new blood supply all the time, otherwise it will not only become old and corrupt, but may also collapse at any time.

Meng Xinghun couldn't help showing reverence in his eyes, because he felt that what he was facing was not just a great friend. Yi Qianlong also understood it, and said with a smile: Actually, that's nothing. Those young people are not only full of enthusiasm, but also very loyal. It is not difficult to train them. Young people are always more enthusiastic and loyal, and they don't want to learn cunning and intrigue at all. Meng Xinghun was also young, he nodded, and sighed: It is not difficult to train those people, what is difficult is the courage to endure humiliation, it is far more difficult than shedding blood for someone's life.

Yi Qianlong looked at him, and suddenly patted him hard on the shoulder. They have also become lifelong friends since then, because they not only understand each other, but also respect each other. Only those who are completely loyal to their friends are worthy of respect from others. Those who can endure humiliation for their friends will never be lonely. Meng Xinghun suddenly asked again: Have you been to Feipeng Castle? Yi Qianlong said: "Of course I have. I trained those people to deal with Twelve Flying Pengs." Meng Xinghun said: Then why did you come here? Yi Qianlong said: "Because I have made an agreement with the old man, if he gives me an order before the fifth day, we will attack Feipeng Castle from the back mountain at noon on the seventh day, otherwise we will rush here overnight."

Meng Xinghun said: You didn't receive his order? Yi Qianlong said: "No, the messenger has died in Lu Xiangchuan's hands. Of course Ritsu Kagawa was listening beside him. Hearing this, his stomach suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but vomit. Until now, he didn't know where his mistake was. He shouldn't have killed the group of people selected by the old man too early. He should have waited for them to arrive at Feipengbao. It's a pity that I was so excited and proud at that time that I became a little impatient, which is why I made this unforgivable mistake.

This mistake is now irreparable forever. Ritsu Kagawa bent down and spat out a puddle of bitter water. But still no one looked at him. He was originally an extremely intelligent genius, an invincible hero, and he was only half a step away from reaching the pinnacle of success. But now in the eyes of others, he seems to have become completely unimportant. It seems to have become a dead person. Yi Qianlong said: "I came here only to know that the old man has a revenge plan.And every detail has been arranged. Meng Xinghun said: You just arrived this afternoon? Yi Qianlong said: "This afternoon, the most important thing in the old man's plan is time, so I must try my best to gain every moment of time, because I know that time is sometimes even more precious than blood."

Meng Xinghun said: I understand. Few people can understand this better than him! If he has no sense of time, he may have died countless times. Yi Qianlong showed pride on his face, and said with a smile: In the past 30 to 40 years, I have participated in the old man's actions no less than two hundred times, and I have never lost a moment. Meng Xinghun sighed again, and said: No matter who has a good friend like you, they should feel happy. Yi Qianlong held his shoulders tightly and said: "I am very happy that the old man has a friend like you." He went on to say: The old man has calculated that Lu Xiangchuan will definitely come here to look for him, and he has also calculated that Lu Xiangchuan will definitely go down there to have a look after seeing the Seven Star Needle, because he is not only himself. , no one believes it.

Meng Xinghun couldn't help but sneered and said: Sometimes he doesn't even trust himself. Yi Qianlong said: "The old man's plan was to take advantage of the time when he went down to launch an offensive and annihilate his most basic subordinates first." He smiled, and said again: Because he must have come in a hurry, there was absolutely no time to concentrate all his strength, at most he could only bring the most basic group of subordinates. Meng Xinghun said: Of course you are much more familiar with the terrain here than he is, no doubt you have taken advantage of the terrain first.

Yi Qianlong said: "What's more, what he's good at is to hurt people secretly with cold arrows, but this time the situation is completely opposite. He never thought that someone would be waiting to deal with him in secret." Meng Xinghun said: So you have taken the time again! Yi Qianlong said: "Also, his people came here in a hurry, and they have been waiting here for a long time, so they must be a little tired, but our people are just like newborn tigers. He smiled and said: Waiting for work with ease, attacking with darkness, there is actually no need to fight in this battle, the number of winners and losers is already obvious. Meng Xinghun smiled and said: You have taken advantage of the timing, location, and harmony of people. This old man's plan can really be called exhaustive. Yi Qianlong said: "However, there is still one thing he hasn't figured out. Meng Xinghun said: Oh. Yi Qianlong said: He didn't expect that you would follow and go down. Meng Xinghun smiled bitterly and said: At that time, I was wrong. Yi Qianlong said: "But the old man understands your thoughts, he knows that you are here this time, and you plan to live and die with him!" Meng Xinghun's throat suddenly choked up again, and tears almost couldn't help but burst out of his eyes. A scholar dies for his confidant! Even if a person dies for a friend like the old man, what regrets is there in dying? Yi Qianlong also seemed to have a lot of emotions, and sighed: "The old man also knows that since you are down there and see Lu Xiangchuan, you will never let him come up alive again, even if you try your best to die with him, you will never let him again." Come up alive. Meng Xinghun said: So that's why you went down? Yi Qianlong said: "Because the old man doesn't want him to die, and you can't die, so He patted Meng Xinghun's shoulder again, and said with a smile: You should understand what will happen in the future, right? Meng Xinghun nodded. Although he nodded, he still didn't quite understand why the old man kept Ritsu Kagawa alive? But he didn't say anything, because he knew that what the old man did would never be wrong. Never will. To Ritsu Kagawa, he has already made a mistake once, and he will never make a second mistake. The old man kept looking at them and listening to them, with tears in his eyes. Then he walked over slowly, stared at them, and said slowly: I missed many people, but I did not miss you, you are all my friends, my good friends He suddenly hugged Meng Xinghun's shoulders, and said word by word: You are not only my friend, but also my son. Meng Xinghun nodded and said: I am I am Then he burst into tears. The night is getting deeper and the stars are sparse. All the people suddenly left, only Ritsu Kagawa was left kneeling in the boundless darkness. He knelt here, but no one paid him any attention, no one looked at him. No blame, no name calling, no revenge. The old man just left like this, Yi Qianlong and Meng Xinghun also left like this, let him kneel here like a wild dog. Even the dead bodies of those archers had been carried away, but he was left here. He was once an incomparable figure, but now he has really become so insignificant. The wind blew on my body, and the pain from my broken ribs was even worse. Ritsu Kagawa suddenly felt like a wild dog without an owner, abandoned by this world. Whether he is dead or alive, no one cares. The cold sweat is flowing down, and the tears will also flow down. Ritsu Kagawa wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, gritted his teeth, and struggled to stand up. In any case, I am still alive, and as long as I am alive, there must be a chance. He told himself so in his heart, and tried to make himself believe it. But for some reason, he didn't really want revenge, he just felt tired, tired, tired Was it because his courage had been lost? Is it because the old man didn't kill him, but he has completely deprived him of his self-esteem and courage. Now he just wants a drink, a drink, a drink The boy was lying on the table when he was suddenly awakened by a hasty knock on the door. He rubbed his eyes, stood up, and opened the door. It didn't know when it started to rain outside. Ritsu Kagawa stood dripping in the rain, his eyes were full of red threads, the door had been opened for a long time, but he was still standing there stupidly, as if he had forgotten to come in. The boy looked at him, not surprised, as if he knew that he would definitely come. The rain was cold. Why is it raining so cold in June? The boy took off his clothes and put them on Ritsu Kagawa. Ritsu Xiangchuan suddenly hugged him tightly, and murmured: Only you are my true friend, only you. The boy still didn't speak, nor showed any expression. He is so stupid that he doesn't know how to express his emotions. So he just turned around wordlessly and put the wine on the table. Ritsu Kagawa finally walked in and sat down. Although the wine was cold, it immediately burned like a flame after drinking it. Ritsu Kagawa's heart gradually began to burn, and suddenly he slapped the table hard, and said loudly: "I'm still not dead!"As long as I'm alive, sooner or later I'll make them look good, don't you think? The teenager nodded. No matter what Ritsu Kagawa says, he always agrees completely. Ritsu Kagawa laughed and said with a big laugh: No one can knock me down, I will stand up sooner or later, and when that day comes, I will never forget you, because only you are my good friend! He seemed to want to prove it to the boy, so he struggled to stand up, trying to stand straighter. But his waist suddenly bent down, and his whole body suddenly began to convulse and contract, as if a knife had suddenly pierced his stomach from behind. When he raised his head, his face had turned ashen. He gritted his teeth, raised his protruding eyes full of surprise and fear, and said in a low voice: Did you poison the wine? The teenager nodded. No matter what Ritsu Kagawa said, he still fully agreed. Ritsu Kagawa struggled and panted, and said: Why did you do this?Why? The boy still had no expression on his face, as if he didn't know how to express his feelings. He just said lightly: I am tired of this kind of life, the old man promised me that I will live a good life. old man. It really is the old man! The old man's real fatal blow was waiting for him here. Lu Xiangchuan gritted his teeth and said: You beast, I treat you as a friend, but you betrayed me! The young man said lightly: "I learned this kind of thing from you. You can betray the old man. Why can't I betray you?" This blow is more powerful. Ritsu Kagawa seemed to have been beaten until his eyes were blackened, and he couldn't even see the stupid boy in front of him clearly. Perhaps he had never seen the man clearly at all. He roared angrily, wanting to rush over and break the man's throat. But he himself fell first. When he fell, his mouth was full of bitter water. He finally tasted what it was like to be betrayed by a friend. He finally tasted the taste of death. Death may not be very painful, but the pain of being betrayed by a friend is unbearable for anyone! Not even Ritsu Kagawa. It was daylight. No matter how long the night is, there is always light. As long as you have the courage and patience, you will be able to wait for the light. The light came in from the window, and the chair was under the window. At last the old man sat back in his own chair. It wasn't until this moment that Meng Xinghun realized that he was still very old after all, and looked very tired. A contented and pleasant weariness. He straightened his legs, then sighed slowly, and said: You must be very surprised, why didn't I kill Ritsu Kagawa? Meng Xinghun said: I'm not surprised. The old man looked very surprised and said: Why? Meng Xinghun smiled and said: Because I know you must have arranged a very suitable end for him. The old man also smiled, but there seemed to be an indescribable desolation and bitterness in his smile. Ritsu Kagawa is like a tree he planted with his own hands. No one is willing to cut down the tree he himself planted! Meng Xinghun suddenly asked again: Where is Boss Gao? He has been holding back this sentence for a long time, and finally he couldn't help asking. The old man sighed, and said, I don't blame her, she is a very ambitious woman, she is determined to climb up, although she used the wrong method, but who in the world has never done something wrong? Meng Xinghun said: You let her go? The old man nodded and said, "And I will give her the title deed she wants so hard. In the future, no matter who you see is trying to climb up, you should help him, and never push him from behind." . Meng Xinghun lowered his head, his heart was full of gratitude and reverence. An old man is an old man after all. He may have missed many things, but his greatness is still unmatched by anyone. Just then, he saw a young man walking to the door. A young man full of enthusiasm and vitality, with boundless fighting spirit and strength in every move. This is the new blood in the old man's organization, and it is also the new blood in this society. When Meng Xinghun saw him, he knew that human beings would never perish. As long as human beings exist, justice will never perish! When the old man saw the young man, he seemed to be refreshed, and smiled and said, "Come in and tell me what's going on." The young man didn't come in, bowed and said: King Wanpeng is not dead, but Tu Dapeng who died, he underestimated King Wanpeng, so he died. His answer was simple, to the point and to the point, Yi Qianlong's years of training were obviously not in vain. Meng Xinghun couldn't help but want to ask: Where's Fengfeng? But he didn't ask, and neither did the old man. It doesn't matter whether this person exists or not, and it is no longer worthy of others' concern. But Meng Xinghun couldn't help asking the old man: How should we deal with King Wanpeng? Since King Wanpeng is not dead yet, he and the old man will inevitably have to fight to the death sooner or later. The old man sighed and said: He didn't die, and I didn't die either, so we just have to keep fighting, even if we feel tired or even scared, we must never stop. Meng Xinghun lowered his head and said: I understand. Walking into the rivers and lakes alone is like riding on the back of a tiger. It is too difficult to think about it. The old man said: Even if King Wanpeng is dead, others will still come to me. Unless I fall down, this kind of struggle will never stop. He sighed, and said: People like me can only live in endless boredom and fear in this life. When I want to kill others, I am waiting for others to kill me. Meng Xinghun also understood. Of course, no one understands this better than him.It's too bad to live like this, but you have to live. The old man continued slowly: If the seeds planted by a person are bitter, you have to taste the bitter fruit yourself. Since I have made a mistake, I have to pay the wrong price. No one can do it for me except me. bear. He suddenly smiled, and said: But you are still young, as long as you have the courage, you can still change your own destiny. It is not shameful for a person to make a mistake, as long as he knows his mistake and admits it, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Meng Xinghun suddenly raised his head and said: I understand. Although the old man's smile was a little sad, but it gradually became clearer, and he said word by word: So you must not worry about anything anymore, put down your worries, go call Xiaodie, go He stood up, hugged Meng Xinghun's shoulders tightly, and said with a smile: "I want you to live for me, live well!"Live happily! The lights in the Merry Wood are still bright. But there is no lamp in Boss Gao's house. It's not that she hates the light, it's that she's afraid, and it's not that the wrinkles on her face will be exposed, but that the light will reveal the ugly wounds in her heart. These wounds have formed scars for a long time, scars that will never be erased. There is still light coming in from the window, shining on an old and crumpled piece of paper in her hand! This is the deed she wants at all costs. She pushed open the window, and the garden was beautiful, and now it all belonged to her completely. At last she had climbed up from the dark ditch. She should have been content. But for some reason, she felt very empty in her heart, terribly empty. After paying such a terrible price, what can she really get? What else is there but emptiness and loneliness? Meng Xinghun, Ye Xiang, Shi Qun, and Xiao He have all left one by one, whether they are dead or alive, they will never come back. Could this garden really fill the void in her heart?Could this piece of paper really comfort her loneliness? She laughed wildly, laughing wildly and tore the land deed in her hand to pieces. Someone outside the door was shouting: Eldest sister, come out quickly, the uncle Wang in Luoyang is waiting to death! Boss Gao laughed wildly and said loudly: You just tell him to die, you all go to die, it is best to die. There was no more sound outside the door. Everyone knows that when Boss Gao is unhappy, it's best not to mess with her. She closed the window, loosened her long hair, and then slowly took off all the clothes on her body, standing naked in the darkness like this. Her waist is still firm and slender, her legs are still slender and straight, and her chest can still bury the lives of many, many men. But she knew that her own life was not much left. The lost youth will never come again. A person who comes naked should also go naked. She started laughing wildly again, dancing wildly in the dark, suddenly took out a bottle of wine from the drawer of the dressing table, and drank it while dancing. This is the bitter wine of life, and it is also the poisonous wine. When Shi Qun came back, she had fallen down, her black hair was scattered on her snow-white chest, and her beautiful golden gourd was still shining. But her life has been bleak. Shi Qun knelt down, right next to her, and picked up a handful of her hair. Tears are streaming down her hair! Her hair suddenly became shiny again, glistening with tears. Who said the sea is ruthless? Under the starlight, the sea water looks like satin, soft and smooth. The tide also receded. The sea is the same as human life, sometimes the waves are rough, and sometimes it is flat and quiet. Meng Xinghun and Xiaodie held hands and leaned against each other, staring at the infinitely gentle ocean. Their mood is exactly the same as the sea water under the starlight. The baby is asleep, and this is the only time of the day when they are alone and cuddled. After a tiring day, this period of time seems to be particularly short, but they are satisfied. completely satisfied. Because they know that today is over, there is still tomorrow, and tomorrow will be more beautiful. Countless beautiful tomorrows are waiting for them to enjoy. Suddenly, another brilliant meteor flashed across the sea, making the calm sea more beautiful and vivid. Meng Xinghun suddenly said: I did it, after all I did it. Xiaodie snuggled into his arms and said softly: What did you do? Meng Xinghun hugged her tightly and said: Some people say that when a shooting star appears, if you can make a wish in time, your wish will definitely come true. Xiaodie said sweetly: This is a very ancient and beautiful legend, but it's a pity that no one can really do it. Meng Xinghun smiled and said: But I did it this time. Xiaodie's eyes became brighter, and she said: "Did you really make a wish in time when the meteor passed by?" Meng Xinghun said: Really. Xiaodie said: What is your wish? Meng Xinghun smiled, but did not answer. Xiaodie didn't ask again, because she already understood that his wish was also her wish. Their smiles are calm and happy. When the shooting star disappears, the light is already in sight. No matter how long the darkness is, the light will always come sooner or later. (End of the book)
