C73 (2/2)
”What?” ”Who is it?”
Lady Han said slowly, ”This person was born in Karakorum and moved to the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. Everyone called him 'Jiang Yin Jun', but no one knows his real name. Have you heard of this man? ”
She spoke slowly, her eyes unblinking as she stared at the Eighth Old Master, paying attention to his expression.
However, she was disappointed. The eighth grandfather didn't seem perturbed at all — as she listened, he actually smiled.
Wu Yuxue, who was standing at the side, was surprised. This was because the Jiang Yin Jun mentioned by Lady Han was the very person she was extremely confused and curious about. After listening, her heart involuntarily skipped a beat as she looked toward the Eighth Lord.
Under the gaze of the two, the Eighth Old Master slightly nodded and said, ”I have heard of this person before …” But unfortunately, I'm unable to tell. ”
”Why?” Miss Han asked.
The Eighth Lord said, ”Because I've only heard of him, and I've never seen him. Why would the lady think of him so clearly?”
Lady Han mysteriously smiled and said, ”Because the legendary person is somewhat similar to you.”
The Eighth Lord chuckled and said, ”Little girl, that's because your imagination is too rich …”
Then, he stretched his arms, stood up and said, ”I'm tired. Let's talk another day.”
Wu Yuxue said, ”Are you resting now?”
The Eighth Old Master looked at Guan Wu Yu Xue and said, ”Tomorrow, I will go to see a friend in a distant place. It will take me at least two to three days before I can come back. When we get back, let's get together. ”
After speaking, he nodded to the two of them before stepping out.
Wu Yuxue escorted him back to his room before returning.
Miss Han, on the other hand, was staring at the Eighth Lord's door in a daze.
Wu Yu Xue said softly, ”Do you think he is the legendary Jiang Yin Jun? ”Why?”
Miss Han said with a puzzled expression, ”I don't know. I was just thinking about it. The legendary Jiang Yin Jun also has a mustache like him. His kung fu is extremely high. What do you think?”
Wu Yuxue's heart was moved. For decades, all the influential people in the martial arts world had been curious about the legendary Jiang Yin Jun.
As this person's stack was like a yellow crane, it didn't fall behind. Therefore, all the legends about him were like a catch in the wind, and could not be trusted. Even the righteous and evil actions of Jiang Yin Jun were a mystery to be solved.
”I really don't know —” As Wu Yuxue spoke, her mind was filled with confusion at the thought that the Eighth Old Master might be the embodiment of ”Jiang Hidden Lord”.
Honestly speaking, a golden chicken being too old already gave him a great deal of pressure, and the Han girl in front of him was unfathomable. Whether or not he was a friend or foe in the future was unknown.
What happened next was the Northern Frontier gang, as well as a woman in distress, Aunt Li … He really couldn't handle so many of them.
At this critical juncture, he added in the matter of the Eighth Lord's men and the relief money.
Naturally, any martial arts practitioner with a bit of chivalry would not want this batch of calamity silver to fall into the hands of evil people.
It was obvious that news of the arrival of this silver disaster would have spread throughout the martial arts world.
The underworld army was ready to make a move as great thoughts flooded their minds. It was to be expected.
If there was any news about this silver disaster, it would be hard to avoid a war in the martial world in the future.
Sadly, as far as Wu Yuxue knew, there was not a single person who stood on the side of the righteous path with the silver. Perhaps she was the only one.
”What are you thinking?” Miss Han asked.
If it wasn't for Miss Han's sudden question, Wu Yuxue would have fallen into deep thought. Only now did he realize that this girl was sitting right next to him.
Ah!” ”Nothing …” Wu Yuxue could only take the Eighth Lord out as a shield and say, ”I was just thinking about this Eighth Lord …” He … ”It's really strange …
”Are you saying that he has some sort of strange behavior?” Miss Han asked.
Wu Yuxue naturally wouldn't easily tell her what she had seen these days and what she had planned to do in Anhui Province. She only smiled and shook her head. ”No, I just don't think he is a seller.”
”He wasn't a seller in the first place.”
Lady Han continued, ”Haven't you noticed that his martial arts skills are extremely high and are likely above yours and mine?”
She recalled the scene from a moment ago and said, ”Especially the movement technique, it's simply unbelievable... I was thinking that if this person has ill intentions, we should be careful not to get in his way. ”
After saying that, she smiled, shook her head and said, ”Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. It's been a good night, but he made me lose all interest. I'm leaving.”
Wu Yuxue looked at her and nodded. ”I won't see you off.”
Miss Han was about to step forward when she inclined her body after listening to his words, a pair of eyes containing boundless haziness rolling over his face as if with affection. She wanted to say something but stopped and shook her head slightly, then fled, vanishing into the darkness in an instant.
The wind was blowing in the sky, and the fields were looking all around, but the desolation of the autumn harvest — the color of charred yellow.
The rice had long since been harvested, and only half of its stem was left. It was waiting for the remainder of the year before a heartless fire would burn it clean and turn it into ashes. Then in the spring rain, in the mud, for a spring tillage, so as to show a long time of ”green” meaning.
The stone tablet had the words ”Stone Pond Bay Boundary” carved onto it — This was the Wuxi County Territory, one of the biggest areas in Jiangnan.
He followed the yellow dirt road in front of him. The other stop was Suzhou. If he continued down this road, he would reach Wujiang County. If he continued down this road, he would reach the surface of Zhejiang Province.
It was about the middle of the day, and it was time for dinner, and no wonder that smoke was rising from the chimneys of all the houses in the neighborhood.
The pond was shallow, but there were a lot of ducks, flapping their wings, and the big guys were hooting along. The cry of a duck could be clearly heard over half a kilometer away.
A little girl with a stinging horn on her head was dividing the duck food into the bowl, but the group of feathered animals were so irritable that they couldn't wait any longer. They rushed over and surrounded her with a hubbub, causing her to panic. Her hands and feet were accidentally pecked by the ducks' flat beaks as she cried out in pain, ”Mom, mom!”
Her mother was busy at the stove, but had no time for her.
The little girl's entire body was red from being pecked by the duck. She cried in pain as she threw down the duck food and picked up the bamboo pole. She was too focused on hitting the duck in front of her to catch her breath.
For a moment, the entire place was in chaos.
However, there was a person standing at the edge of the pond, chuckling.
