Chapter 25: Gratitude
After rescuing Xun Laosan's daughter, Xun Laosan was grateful and wanted to keep her for a meal, while Duan Xingzhou was very grateful.
Xun Laosan also changed his job and left Liangguan to work in Dongting in Xiangchu.
He wrote several times to ask Ning Yanye to come here, but he didn't know that Ning Yanye was seriously injured in this battle.
After bidding farewell to Xun Laosan on horseback, Ning Yanye rode for dozens of miles in one breath. Seeing that they were safe, she felt a little at ease. She was suppressing her injuries with a breath of true energy, but now she felt relieved. The injury occurred immediately, and I could no longer hold on. Suddenly my chest felt hot, I felt like the world was spinning, and blood surged in my throat. I had to hold on and walk all the way.
Later, the horse galloped all the way and came to a village. The horse stopped at a village, but Ning Zhiye could not hold on and fell down.
It turned out to be like this, Wu Changkong returned to normal, "So you were injured and fell right in front of my house. This is fate. Otherwise, how could I have known the beautiful senior sister as usual? And this time, the senior sister killed the traitor of the sect, and it was over. A wish.”
Ning Yanye was relieved to see that he had returned to normal. It happened that it was not far from Dongting, and he also happened to go to see Xun Qian who had been rescued at that time.
The dusk is heavy, the west wind is blowing, and the smoke is 800 miles away from the cave.
Dongting Lake was called Yunmengze in ancient times. It is connected to the Yangtze River in the north and the Xiangjiang River, Zijiang River, Yuanjiang River and Lishui River in the south. Its rivers and lakes are connected into one, with thousands of blue waves, water and sky of the same color, vast and circuitous. What is even more surprising is that there are There are mountains in the lake, which are endless. The foothills of the lake are abrupt and green. An ancient poem praised it: "A green snail in a white jade plate."
There are exquisite pavilions, terraces, pavilions and villas built on these green snails. One of these places is the famous "Donghu Villa" today. It is built against the mountain. There are villas in the mountains, and there are villas in the villas. The mountain is unique and ingenious, with red walls and green tiles appearing in the depths of the water and clouds, and quarrelsome eaves, with an extraordinary bearing.
There is a pavilion named Ji Ran Pavilion built high up in the village. At this moment, a middle-aged man in rich clothes is standing in the pavilion facing the wind. He is about thirty years old and has an imposing manner. However, his eyebrows are furrowed and his eyes are starry. He seems to be thinking about an extremely complicated problem. .
This man is the owner of "Donghu Villa" whose surname is Zhuan Sunyan. He was the deputy leader of the seventeenth province of the Central Plains Wulin at that time. He was a man of justice and money, a warm-hearted person with ancient ways, and a swordsmanship that was unparalleled in the martial arts world. In his early years, he became famous in the world for his hatred of evil and his generous support of Liaodong's resistance to the enemy. , is the core figure in the Central Plains Wulin today, a popular figure, and the most powerful contender for the future leader of the Central Plains Wulin.
Since Dongting was a land of fish and rice and was rich in products, Zhuan Sunyan's industries based on Dongting for many years made him as wealthy as any other country.
But in the martial arts world, he is inferior to one person and outnumbers ten thousand people. He is now facing the most severe test in his life. It may be the most important moment in his life. In his early years, he asked an expert to predict for him, saying that he would be in thirty-six six. When you are old, you will go through a calamity. If you can survive this calamity, you will be rich and famous.
If he could not pass the test smoothly, there might be a bloody disaster or even the disaster of annihilation. Therefore, for many years, he followed the guidance of this master to do good deeds and sincerely pray to Buddha, hoping to resolve it safely. Now it seems that this hexagram is indeed effective, but judging from the current situation Seeing that the variables were extremely variable and the possibility of things getting worse seemed to be increasing, this made him worried.
At this moment, he was staring at the thousands of sails on the lake in the distance, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose. The autumn river breeze blew in his face, making him shiver, but he seemed to be sober, facing the Donghu Lake in the zenith of the sun. Villa, he sighed sadly in his heart: "I can't tell when the west wind will come, but I'm afraid the time will change secretly."
The twilight was getting thicker, slowly swallowing up the villa... The next day, in the gathering hall of Donghu Villa, Zhuan Sunyan and a group of family members were discussing the big plan. A villager came flying from the mountain to report, "To the villa owner, there are already people at the foot of the mountain. There are no less than a thousand people from all walks of life gathered together, and there are many ships on the river heading towards my ferry."
Zhuan Sunyan asked: "Do you know that the people gathered at the foot of the mountain are all from that route?"
Zhuang Ding replied: "According to inquiries from my subordinates, they are all brothers from various provinces of our alliance, as well as leaders and gang members of various sects. However, they seem to be very hostile to us. I don't know why."
Zhuan Sunyan pondered for a moment and said to Zhuang Ding: "Okay, let's investigate again and be sure to find out who is coming."
Zhuang Ding was ordered to leave. Zhuan Sunyan pondered for a long time and said to the people in the hall: "The people who came here are not evil. These people from the three mountains and five mountains usually have nothing to do with our Donghu Villa, and they have been in contact with each other for many years. Now they must be Because the legendary spiritual stone in the world is here, the manipulator behind it must have a strong background.
It's a pity that there is still no news about the people sent out. Judging from the current situation, something may have happened. The enemy seems to be well aware of our actions. It is urgent. We sent our adopted son to take charge of the situation at the foot of the mountain and told him not to conflict with him. Report any serious situations immediately.
In the event of an emergency, evacuate from the secret passage without hesitation. Don't worry about other things. Just ensure the safety of your family. In the second place, arrange for him to send a signal to quickly mobilize the troops closest to the headquarters to come to support. If necessary, use a series of warships. With fire guns, block the river and cut off the enemy's response. The rest of the people are ready to fight and all will act under my command.
Everyone must be mentally prepared. Today, our Donghu Villa may encounter a catastrophe that will last a hundred years. If you have the opportunity, everyone can retreat for the time being and leave the green mountains behind, so that we can make big plans in the future."
When everyone heard this, they all bowed and said: "I only wish to follow the owner of the village. Even if I am afraid of being broken into pieces, I swear to live and die with the village."
Zhuan Sunyan was silent and waved his hand to signal everyone to hurry up and carry out the order. Everyone followed the order and left. At this time, a beautiful woman came out from the back of the hall. She had a noble face, as pretty as a peach in three springs and as pure as nine autumns. Ju, although she was dressed in plain clothes, could not conceal her graceful figure, and was followed by a ten-year-old boy. When the woman saw Zhuan Sunyan, she asked, "Mr. Master, is the situation really so critical?"
Zhuan Sunyan looked solemn and sighed: "I hope I am making a fuss out of a molehill. A gentleman should not stand in danger and prepare for the worst. Madam, the overall situation is important. If something unexpected happens, you and your family will retreat first. I have already Arrange everything for you and your son. I am destined to have this calamity, so you don’t need to panic. If I cannot survive this calamity, the responsibility of taking care of my son will be left to you. You must take care of yourself!"
And this lady is none other than Xun Qian, who was rescued by Ning Xingye, and now she has transformed into the mistress of this eight-hundred-mile Dongting.
After speaking, he gently caressed the little boy's head, with infinite love in his eyes. "Dad." Zhuan Sunyan's son was born to the previous wife of the bride. He died soon after giving birth to his son due to physical reasons. And Xun Qian is his second wife.
Ning Xingye and others, who rushed to Donghu Villa day and night, saw Xun Laosan and his daughter, who were now guests and dressed in gorgeous clothes. Ning Xingye was very emotional, and Xunqing was extremely enthusiastic, as if he was trying to cover up what was about to happen. Coming danger.
Looking at these tender scenes, Wu Changkong was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't seem to hear anything. Ning Zhiye, who has been in the world for a long time, felt that this was the farewell of Zhuansun Village Master and his wife.
Xun Qian knew that Zhuan Sunyan had gone through many dangers. If he had not been at the critical moment of life and death, he would not have acted so solemnly. At this time, Zhuan Sunyan took out a letter from his arms, "If I have any misfortune, You can open this letter. It may be helpful to you, Sui'er, and the Zhuansun family. For the rest, just follow the original plan. I have notified my close friends everywhere to take care of you. Madam, this battle may be the day when you and I say goodbye. , the future prosperity of the Zhuansun family depends on you, Sui'er is the only bloodline of the Zhuansun family, and it is also the hope of the Zhuansun family, there is no room for loss under any circumstances, remember it!"
Xun Qian received the letter with tears in her eyes, and Zhuan Sunyan said: "Go and prepare your luggage quickly. I have arranged everything. It is best for you and Sui'er to disguise themselves." The little boy hugged Zhuan Sunyan's arms lovingly. Legs. Zhuan Sunyan picked up the boy and kissed the cute little face, "Sui'er, be good, listen to Sister Qian, you know? She will be your mother from now on."
Ning Yanye saw them making arrangements for the funeral, and thought that it might be an extremely dangerous matter. Xun Qian and Xun Laosan originally wanted to ask Ning Yanye for help, but after all, Zhuan Sunyan was considered a first-generation master in the martial arts, and he himself did not know how to do it. I begged Ning Yanye to help me.
