Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 26
byChapter 26 The Condor Hero [Inverted v] Yan Bugui: Senior Gongsun, she…
A murder occurred on the busy street. The timid ordinary people had turned pale with fear from the gushing blood. They either screamed or fled silently. There were probably some people who ran to report to the officials or their respective bosses.
The Jianghu people who knew how to use both hands were divided into two groups – those who were alerted by the cry of “help” and had only a few clues about what was happening, and those who were just watching. The last ones were people like Yang Guo who were passing by and accidentally noticed the movement and came to take a look.
Yang Guo, who has been practicing swordsmanship in the South China Sea for sixteen years, waiting to meet Xiao Longnu again, and who is called the “Condor Hero” because of what he has done in these years, saw the familiar Lu Xiaofeng in the sparse crowd at a glance.
He and Lu Xiaofeng met early, and when they were wandering in the world, they met again several times, had drinks and talked about things… Lu Xiaofeng when he was just starting out and Lu Xiaofeng now had almost completely different temperaments – but people will always change in the world.For example, he himself, apart from his martial arts skills, had also changed a lot between the person he was sixteen years ago and the person he is now sixteen years later.
Yang Guo recognized Lu Xiaofeng, and Lu Xiaofeng naturally recognized Yang Guo, the “senior” – even though the other party was using disguise techniques to change his appearance, hiding his handsome face that was jealous of the same sex and attracted to the opposite sex under a sallow mask.When he heard the other party ask, he just sighed: “It’s a long story.”
Hearing this, Yang Guo looked at Lu Xiaofeng, then turned his attention to the young swordsman who was obviously paying special attention to “Brother Diao” beside him, and asked incredulously: “Do you need my help?”
Lu Xiaofeng was a little moved on the spot, but soon shook his head secretly – although he was angry that Yan Bugui killed the woman who might be “Mrs. Gongsun” in front of him without saying a word, but he also saw the chase between the swordsman and the woman before, so he couldn’t say whether there was a deep hatred between the two.He stopped the swordsman once, but if the other party didn’t give him this face, he couldn’t blame others…
Ahem, of course, he, Lu Xiaofeng, is not a tolerant person. If he really wants to let go of this matter completely, he can’t do it. Nowadays, things are just priorities.However, no matter how Lu Xiaofeng was thinking about how to word or respond, it was Yan Bugui who spoke first after Yang Guo’s words.
The young-looking swordsman shifted his gaze from observing the strange eagle to the face of the person following the eagle. Although he was asking a question, his tone was somewhat certain: “Are you the rumored ‘Condor Hero’ in the world?”
Yang Guo was also paying attention to the strange swordsman. Hearing these words, he nodded slightly and replied: “Thanks to everyone’s respect, if nothing else, this title should refer to me.”
“Although it’s a bit presumptuous…” Yan Bugui’s eyes returned to the big eagle again, and there was curiosity in his words, but also some unspecified impatience, “I heard that the storyteller mentioned some stories about your Excellency. It is said that the big eagle next to you is extremely powerful and domineering. Although it is not good at flying, it is good at fighting on land. Is it true or not?”
Yan Bugui naturally knew that such a raptor was not easy to mess with. If he had not refused, he would have raised a sea eagle that belonged to him, to accompany him to grow up and assist him in fighting – just like Xue Ling did to Xie Donghai.
But at that time, he felt that he would not leave his brother Xie. The two “brothers” would always stay together, and Xue Ling was enough – unless Xue Ling came back with a companion of his own, then he could help raise him.
It’s a pity that Xue Ling has no idea of finding a companion, nor does she plan to capture a child and raise it – after all, because of some manipulations by Xie Donghai, its lifespan is much longer than that of other sea eagles. It is even quite different from other sea eagles in terms of body shape, strength and other aspects. It is also raised by his brother Xie who is too arrogant and looks down on the sea eagles next to him.
As for the small things like him joining the Sword Sect and raising a parrot as a result, there is nothing to say for the time being.Now he wants to know even more, is the weird-looking big eagle in front of him as good as the rumors?If it could really happen, how powerful would it be?Compared with the sea eagles raised in Penglai, which one is better?Who trained it?
The young swordsman, who was particularly brightly dressed, made no secret of his interest in Da Diao. Whether it was the woman he had just killed or the irritable Lu Xiaofeng, he had obviously forgotten about it.
When Yang Guo saw this, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised – this “divine eagle” was certainly not an ordinary big eagle, and to him, it was like a teacher and a friend.However, even though he calls him “Brother Eagle”, in the eyes of others who don’t know what is going on, they always think that his “Brother Eagle” is just a strange-looking beast that he raised. Many people change their tone of voice because of his attitude.
But the strange swordsman in front of him didn’t seem to think so at all.The other party seemed to regard him and “Brother Eagle” as two separate individuals. The way he looked at “Brother Eagle” was not at birds or pets, but as if he was facing a spiritual life like a human being and gave it the same respect as a human being!
Therefore, Yang Guo’s tone could not help but soften a little – even if the other party paid more attention to “Brother Diao” and paid less attention to him intentionally or unintentionally, he had already passed the age where he needed to win all the attention of others. He just nodded and replied: “My swordsmanship was taught by Brother Diao. It is thanks to Brother Diao’s help over the years that I have made the progress I am now.”
When Lu Xiaofeng heard that the topic suddenly changed, she couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. After her ears caught the movement in the distance, she coughed lightly: “It seems that someone is coming from the government. If you don’t want to deal with people from the Yamen, why not move away first?”
As he spoke, he pinched his nose and picked up the body and head that were still on the ground, intending to bring them to Jin Jiuling or the Snake King to see if he could see anything. In his heart, he couldn’t help but silently lament that his life was really miserable this time.
Yang Guo, who was passing by, naturally walked away. The “murderer” Yan Bugui did not leave immediately, but seriously asked the “Condor Man” and his eagle: “I wonder if you would mind if you cooperate with the big eagle and compete with me?”
A look of surprise flashed in Yang Guo’s eyes. He did not answer immediately, but said: “Get out of here first.”
The young swordsman had no objection to this.When the police who received the “report” from the people arrived at the scene, except for the blood stains that had not yet dried up, no matter whether they were the perpetrators or the victims, the participants or the bystanders, they were all gone.The detectives who had made a futile effort skillfully found someone to wash and wipe away the blood stains on the stone pavement, then yawned and left.
The specific situation of the incident location has no further connection with the three people and Yi Diao who have moved away.Yang Guo glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, who was feeling uncomfortable with the separated female corpse. He still did not respond to the swordsman’s invitation to spar, but took the initiative to ask Lu Xiaofeng, “What trouble have you been involved in again?”
What a “again”!Lu Xiaofeng couldn’t even smile bitterly when she thought that Xue Bing’s whereabouts were still unknown because of this incident.With his peripheral vision, he glanced at Yan Bugui, who was silently keeping a certain distance from them but hanging steadily behind the big eagle, and replied: “Recently, there has been an embroidery thief in the world, and he has committed many cases. Not long ago, he even attacked the Nanping Palace.”
Yang Guo said thoughtfully: “I have heard a little bit about this matter. So you are here to catch the embroidery thief?”
“Jin Jiuling asked me for help in this matter.” Lu Xiaofeng did not nod or shake his head, nor did he say what method Jin Jiuling used to make him “voluntarily” fall into this pit.
He simply analyzed how he took the embroidered thief’s handkerchief to the magic needle Madam Xue; he said that he took a risk when he came here, just in case he didn’t let Xue Bing follow, but Xue Bing lost his trace on the way, and the only clue was the “Gongsun Aunt” wearing red shoes…
Yang Guo looked at the pair of red shoes with owls embroidered on the feet of the female corpse and said nothing. Yan Bugui, who was listening, repeated in a strange tone: “‘Mother Gongsun’?”
Well, it wasn’t just the tone that was weird, the expression was also a little hard to distinguish under the dim moonlight… At least Lu Xiaofeng, who was good at observing, couldn’t taste what kind of mental process that expression specifically showed.
He kept many guesses in his heart and replied at the same time: “She should be called ‘Gongsun Lan’. It is said that she is a descendant of Gongsun Lan, so people who know her will call her that. At the same time, she also has many identities and names, just because she is a master of disguise!” Having said this, Lu Xiaofeng simply mentioned Gongsun Lan’s other identities.
Of course, Yan Bugui, who didn’t belong here at all, had never heard of Gongsun Lan’s other identities, but Yang Guo knew one or two of them. His eyebrows couldn’t help but move. He touched his chin and replied: “In this way, he is quite a powerful character.”
The swordsman only heard the words “Aunt Gongsun” in Lu Xiaofeng’s words, and he said “ha” with unknown meaning: “Does Senior Gongsun know that he has such a descendant?”
Sure enough, it came again, that indescribable strange feeling came again… Lu Xiaofeng secretly had the urge to scratch his head and head. He always felt that the young swordsman had a very strange attitude when facing the topic of “Gongsun Auntie”, but he could not determine the details of this strange feeling.
If I have to say it, when the other party mentions “Aunt Gongsun”, it’s not as if they are facing an ancient person who has been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, but as if they are an acquaintance who belongs to the same era – but is this possible?
Yan Bugui didn’t know what Lu Xiaofeng was thinking, and it was impossible for him to tell the two people in front of him about his origins. At this time, he just felt that things were really strange – from Lu Xiaofeng’s tone, he could tell that there once was a “Gongsun Aunt” who was good at sword dancing in this Central Plains. However, in the eyes of today’s Jianghu people, that one only existed in the distant history.
He couldn’t help but start to think, did he come to a strange world that was somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty, or did he go to the future of the Tang Dynasty that he was familiar with hundreds of years later?
However, no matter which conjecture was more realistic, he was basically certain that if the two senior Gongsun knew that they had such a “descendant”, they would not necessarily treat each other much, and it would not be surprising even if they personally “cleaned up the family”.
Yang Guo, who also learned about this, was probably the most normal one at the scene. He just asked Yan Bugui, “Have you seen other descendants of the Gongsun family?”
There is nothing wrong with this perspective of thinking. Even Yan Bugui replied calmly: “I have seen it.” He was not the disciple of Qixiufang, he had certainly seen it, and there were quite a few, and he had even fought against some of them.
After a pause, the swordsman asked again before Lu Xiaofeng was about to say anything else: “I wonder if you would like to have a spar?”
