Chapter 24 The Old Man (6)

"What? Fairy Mingyue and Taoist Master Qingfeng have gone? Is her injury okay? Where has she gone?"

Hearing Nangong Tong's words, Luo Yuanqian almost jumped up from the bed, but immediately fell heavily, and blood suddenly oozed from the wound on his shoulder.

"You'd better be in bed and rest. Even if you can really catch up with me like this, it will cause trouble for Miss Mingyue." The tone on her lips was calm, and Nangong Tong was also secretly amazed in her heart. The fat man's injuries were so severe that it was rare to wake up now. It was incredible that he could burst out such power after Mingyue left.

After a few breaths, Luo Yuanquan nodded, honestly did not move, and tried his best to bow to Nangong Tong: "...then I would like to thank Master Nangong for taking in and taking care of him."

This is not a polite statement. Since Miss Mingyue has left, his identity as a follower should be worthless in Nangong Tong's opinion. But from the wound medicine wrapped in the wound and the decoctions he took, Luo Yuanquan could still tell that it was a good spiritual medicine without any moisture. You should know that the good spiritual medicine of the Nangong family, as the original third leader of the Wanhu Gang, even if the ancestors accumulate virtue together, they will not be blessed to enjoy it.

"It's okay, I respect you as a man." Nangong Tong nodded. This fat man was neither pretentious nor humble, nor did he have the inferiority and arrogance unique to the low-level people in the world, so he couldn't help but look up to him again.

Nangong Tong's senses were quite complicated for the guy named Luo Yuanquan in front of him. He had just thought that this was an annoying fly that surrounded Mingyue, and even slapped him, he was afraid that he would dirty his hands. But in the storm in the Shenji Hall, this little person who should be an ant shone brightly and showed considerable wit and courage. Not only far better than those disciples of the aristocratic sects of the righteous alliance, but even Tang Jianyu nodded in recognition. This made Nangong Tong look so embarrassed that he was dying, and it also became the fuse for him to make such a move in the end. Although Nangong Tong's actions did not play any substantial role, it was already a drastic change in his heart, and he had a vague sense of identity with this fat man who was originally despised.

Luo Yuanquan's all his selfless actions undoubtedly came from his infatuation with Miss Mingyue. But Miss Mingyue seemed to care about him, and she didn't even come to see him when she left. She just said a few words to Nangong Tong, please let him recover here. Nangong Tong felt sorry for her and felt sympathy.

Of course, this is not the main reason for keeping him in careful care. Young Master Nangong is now very clear about what to do at this angle when he stands in his position.

After considering the next sentence slightly, Nangong Tong said: "Speaking of it, I want to thank you. Everything I had in the Jingzhou branch of Shenjitang that day. Do you still remember Luo's family?"

"Of course I remember." Luo Yuanquan was slightly stunned. "But later, after being injured by Tang Shiyi with a hidden weapon, he didn't remember it very clearly. He only remembered that he fought with Fairy Mingyue, and in the end he seemed to have injured Fairy Mingyue. At that time, the anger in my heart was simply unbearable. I wanted to pounce on him and bite a piece of his flesh. Unfortunately, I couldn't move. I was so angry that I was so angry that I actually fainted... Master Nangong, what do you thank me for?"

Nangong Tong was stunned for a while. Finally, he seemed to have been defeated. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If Miss Mingyue knew about this infatuation and painstaking efforts of the Luo family, she would definitely be moved. I would ask the Luo family to take a good rest here these days. Let's take care of the injury."

"If Fairy Mingyue knew about it, I would rather she didn't know about it." Luo Yuanquan also breathed a sigh of relief. The conversation had already made his originally unfavorable face pale a little. "Then disturb Mr. Nangong more."

Nangong Tong didn't say much, and waved his hand out of the room indifferently.

Outside the house is a small independent courtyard. The one that houses Luo Yuanyun is actually a special independent courtyard in the Nangong house. This is a gift that only distinguished guests should have a considerable amount of weight. The two servants who had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard saw Nangong coming out together and immediately came up to bow and bow.

Nangong Tong didn't look at the two of them, but just ordered casually: "From today on, the manpower to guard here will be doubled. Be sure to protect the safety of the Luo family inside. No one is allowed to come in to see him without my support. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The servant didn't ask why. The servants of the Nangong family were of extremely high quality. No matter how strange the owner's wishes were, there was no need to ask too much. Of course, there was more than these. Although these two were just dressed as servants, they were only two of the hundreds of servants in charge of guarding the house in the house, if they went out and placed in the Jingzhou River, they could be little-known masters. In this way, dozens of masters guarded the surroundings day and night without any attention, it would not be easy for a fly to fly in.

He paused. Although he knew that it was probably impossible, Nangong Tong carefully added to the superior: "Of course, we must also prevent the Luo Dangma from running out quietly by himself. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Please rest assured, Young Master."

After ordering everything, Nangong Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Yuanquan, who was placed here to recover from the wounds, was actually the most important person in the aftermath of this storm, because he killed the eleventh young master of the Tang family. Mingyue who fainted at that time and the young heroes of the Zhengdao League, did not know, Xiao Xia and others who rushed over later, did not know, and now they are sure that even Luo Yuanquan himself does not know.

Someone must be responsible for Tang Jianyu's death. The life of the eleventh young man in the Tang family cannot be fooled by any casual reason. Even if all political games and interest exchanges reach a balance and perfection, a formal person must be paid. From a certain perspective, this murderer is also a very important bargaining chip.

If he knew that his life could temporarily suspend the Tang family's pursuit of Miss Mingyue and give Miss Mingyue more opportunities to escape from this vortex, he would probably die without hesitation. Thinking of Luo Yuanquan's infatuation, Nangong Tong sighed. There were so many places where this fat man made him sigh. Unfortunately, at this time, he could only be a bargaining chip.

Turning back to his yard alone, Nangong Tong did not ask any servants or maids to follow him to serve him, and planned to brew a pot of tea and quietly think about something. This is a new habit he has developed intentionally or unintentionally now, and he should do everything himself as much as possible.

But as soon as he sat down, footsteps came from the inner room. There was already someone waiting for him inside, and no one had reported it in advance, and obviously no one else knew about it.

Nangong Tong was slightly surprised at first, but immediately became happy, then he sank and stood up immediately. He understood that the person he had been waiting for was finally here.

With the sound of footsteps, a person walked out of the inner room. The man looked about forty years, not tall, with a vicissitudes of wind and frost, a half-old coarse cloth dress, a pair of worn cloth shoes on his feet, and a hat on his head, as if he was just an ordinary passerby in the world. But when the man stood up and walked around, including Nangong Tong himself, and the luxurious and exquisite decorations carefully selected in the room suddenly lost their luster. He became as thin as paper.

Because this person's momentum and sense of existence are too strong. That coarse cloth dress may also play a role in disguise when he deliberately conceals and restrains it, but when he naturally reveals his own momentum and breath, even a blind man can feel the extraordinary and immense of this person. Every move, every look, and even every breath seems to be pulling the minds of the people around him.

"Second uncle." Nangong Tong bowed and bowed. The middle-aged man in front of him was the deputy commander of Shadow Shanwei and the mainstay of the Nangong family, Nangong Wuji.

"You should know that Taoist Qingfeng is the person I want? Why did he get him together with the Shifang Monk?"

Nangong Wuji's voice was like his man. It was not loud at first glance, but the hidden power inside was very strong, which made Nangong Tong not have the slightest idea of ​​resisting or lying. He could only answer honestly: "My nephew has done his best. However, the monk from the ten directions forced him to leave with Miss Mingyue, so I couldn't stop him. Moreover, with the power of the Shadow Guard, wouldn't he be the same wherever he went?"

"It's always a bit of a problem when it comes to the monks in the Pure Land Zen Temple." Nangong Wuji's eyes glanced lightly on Nangong Tong's face and then took it back and sat down at the table. Nangong Tong, who was very tall and tall, was even more obvious after he sat down, but Nangong Tong felt that he was kneeling and accepting the look of a giant. Moreover, the giant's eyes had seen him through from the inside out. "... From now on, no matter what happened, you are not allowed to ask about the woman named Mingyue, and you are not allowed to interfere. That woman is not what you imagined, and the undercurrents she carries with is definitely not something you can get involved in. Do you understand?"

"...Nephew understands." Nangong Tong's voice was a little dry.

"You have caused a lot of trouble this time. Do you know?" Nangong Wuji asked lightly.

"My nephew knew that he was wrong. From now on, my nephew will never get involved in these things in the world. I will go back to my old house to accompany my parents and uncle." Nangong Tong buried his head lowered. The eleventh young man from the Tang family also died here, and this mistake was of course not small.

"No. You should help Si'er with your work." There was no blame in Nangong Wuji's voice. "It doesn't matter if people make mistakes, but what's important is to know that you are wrong. You can find the right opportunity in the wrong. I can see that you have awakened a lot this time. The eldest brother is always reluctant to let you younger generations come out to experience it, but sooner or later the next generation of the Nangong family needs people to take responsibility. This time, it is not unhelpful to you. You have done a good job in the aftermath these two days, and I know it."

"Second uncle, I..." Nangong Tong was shocked and moved. He had no punishment or mistakes to cause such a disaster, which made him feel a little ashamed. But at the same time, he was at a loss. He really had no intention or confidence to focus on this matter in the world.

Nangong Wuji's words were majestic and could not be rejected, and directly arranged for him what he should do: "If people do something wrong, they have to learn to take responsibility. You don't have to worry about the game between our Shadow Guard and the Tang family for the time being, but the Li family and the major sects and families behind the people who died in this storm, you have to come to the door to apologize one by one. Don't think that this embarrasses our Nangong family. The Nangong family, who doesn't even dare to admit their mistakes, is the real embarrassment. Do you know?"

"yes."

Nangong Wuji nodded: "Okay, let's take me to see the Luo family next."

"Ah?" Nangong Tong was stunned. Although Luo Yuanquan is a key bargaining chip at the moment, it was just a bargaining chip after all. It seemed that it was not the turn of Nangong Wuji to ask what he personally. "Don't you have to deal with other things first? I have protected that person very well, and I asked all the questions. Even he himself didn't remember that Tang Jianyu died at his hands. He should have driven the military talisman by accident..."

"Accidentally? So do you think so?" Nangong Wuji smiled slightly. His smile was just the two nasolabial folds on his lips, and he could not see any kindness, but was still full of majesty and power. "You made the process so clear in your letter. Then I'll ask you, how can a person who has never even been exposed to mechanical techniques before, be able to accidentally command dozens of mechanical beasts containing the highest secrets of Shenjitang as if they were armed and fingered?"

"...that man was extremely infatuated with Miss Mingyue. I think it was because he saw Tang Jianyu hurting Miss Mingyue and was angry. When he was seriously injured and dying, his sincerity was opened to the metal and stone. This is the best reason that my nephew could come up with." As he said that, Nangong Tong also looked unbelievable. "It's impossible that this person is actually an undercover agent sent by Shenjitang to the Zhengdao League, right?"

Nangong Wuji suddenly asked: "A Tong, do you know what the most correct thing you have done in the past two days?"

“…Please give me some advice.”

"The most correct thing you did was not to act arrogantly without knowing the truth, nor to reveal anything you only know to others. Just do all the details of the aftermath you can do, keep the secrets well, and wait for me to come." Nangong Wuji stood up and walked out the door. "What do you think I came from the capital so anxiously? Lead the way."

Nangong Tongsha stood there for a long time before she quickly followed her to lead the way.

###

Luo Yuanquan slept on the bed, looking at the short middle-aged man in front of him in surprise and doubt. Although the middle-aged man was just dressed in an extremely ordinary outfit, the power and majesty it exuded clearly showed that he was a person who had always held huge power in his hands.

"Luo Dangjia. This is my second uncle, Nangong Wuji."

Especially after hearing this name, Luo Yuanquan became even more frightened. He has been lingering around the young heroes of the Zhengdao League these days, and has heard some news that the third leader of the Wanhu Gang should not have known. Therefore, he can understand the weight of the small middle-aged man in front of him. He can be said to be one of the top people standing in the world.

"Is Luo San, the head of the Wanhu Gang, right? I have been retiring for a long time." Nangong Wuji spoke first.

"I dare not, I dare not. The villain Luo Yuanquan has met Lord Nangong. The villain is injured and cannot be treated with respect. I hope he will not be surprised."

Luo Yuanquan didn't care about the power and status of the city, but he was really flattered now. Even in terms of pure Jianghu status, the difference between the third leader of the Wanhu Gang and the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard is even greater than that between an elephant and an ants. What's more, the Shadow Guard commander is a very high-ranking official and important official, which is essentially different from a rude person like him. So he couldn't help but become nervous.

But I don’t know if it was a bit dazzled or an illusion caused by being too nervous. He always felt that this adult was indescribable in his eyes, in addition to the majestic momentum that filled the body.

"Before I came here, I had already checked the information of Luo Dangjia, but the result was a bit incomplete... So I came here and wanted to ask Luo Dangjia in person." Nangong Wuji reached out and made a small move, and a chair not far away moved silently. He sat in front of Luo Yuanyun's bedside, talking as if to an old friend. "I don't know that Luo Dangjia is Gui Geng this year?"

"Ah? This..." Luo Yuanquan widened his eyes and opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Nangong Tong, who was standing beside him, had the same expression. After a while, Luo Yuanquan's tongue and mind turned around: "This...this...I don't know either...really, Lord Nangong, I really don't know..."

Nangong Wuji nodded: "According to the news that my people have found, Luo Dangjia was adopted by Luo Tufu in the suburbs of Yangming City twenty years ago, and Luo Tufu and his wife obviously don't know your exact age at that time... Then can't you remember the previous incident at all?"

Luo Yuanquan nodded repeatedly: "I really can't remember it. According to my parents, I was confused for the first or two years after they picked me up, and then I gradually woke up."

Nangong Wuji thought for a while and asked again: "Then do you have any old injuries on your body?"

"This is indeed there." Luo Yuanqiong pulled open the hair on his head. There was indeed a thumb-sized scar on his round forehead. Then Luo Yuanqiong buried his head and opened the hair on the back of his head, and there was also a scar of the size below. Judging from the scar, it was a fatal injury that pierced his brain. I don't know how he survived at that time. "My mother said, I was pierced by a hairpin and was lucky to die with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, but it might be because of the injury to the brain. I couldn't remember anything before."

"What a cruel woman." Nangong Wuji said lightly as he could tell at a glance that the wound was from a woman's hand. "Where is that hairpin? Are you still keeping it?"

"Oh...my mother said she had sold it long ago." When she said this, Luo Yuanquan was also a little excited. A hint of blush appeared on her pale face, which she thought she had lost blood. "Do you know my life experience?"

Nangong Wuji did not answer, but stood up and said, "Dang Luo, you will be here to recover from your injuries these days. When your injuries are better, I will take you to meet an old friend. Then you will know."

Following Nangong Wuji, the shock on Nangong Tong's face slowly eased, and he couldn't help asking: "Is there any extraordinary origin in Luo Yuanyun?"

"You don't need to care about these things." Nangong Wuji said lightly.

"Yes." Nangong Tong agreed immediately. However, it was confirmed that Luo Yuanyun should be much more important than a bargaining chip that was only used as a bargaining chip. "Then I will take someone to take care of the place so that he can recover from his injuries."

Nangong Wuji shook his head: "No, I will stay here in person these days."

"Ah?" Nangong Tong was shocked again when he heard this. He was so surprised today. "Then... other things..."
