Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Passing by the Valley Xie Donghai: (Accounting.jpg)…

The interrogation of the masked man in black did not yield much results. We only knew that the man was a killer who took the order, but we did not know who the “guest” was, why he hired a killer to kill Yan Bugui, etc. – When he came back from sword practice the next day, he heard Liu Yuan say this, and Yan Bugui’s mood was stable.

He didn’t even ask Liu Yuan whether he let the person go or killed him in the end – after all, during the time they were training together in the arena, Yan Bugui would usually just kill the person if he was suddenly hunted down. Only Liu Yuan would occasionally leave someone alive, but after asking, he would directly kill the person on the spot.They never have so much extra kindness towards those who want their lives.

The two brothers made a tacit agreement not to mention the sneak attack in front of others and treated it as nothing happened.In the next few days, they all lived peacefully and had enough of being tourists.As the “Battle of the Full Moon” draws closer, more and more people come to the capital, and the atmosphere gradually becomes weird and tense. More and more unidentified news, whether true or false, is surging in the city.

Bai Youjin hasn’t found a job that satisfies him yet, so he returned to his “old business” of this identity – selling calligraphy and paintings.But he is still living in Tongfu Inn, and his relationship with Guo Xiang and the others has not been broken. At least they have breakfast together every day and chat about their experiences.

For example, today, they were having breakfast together in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, talking about what they had seen yesterday.Just after Guo Xiang finished speaking, she seemed to have met Mu Taoist from Wudang and Master Kumei from Huashan, and lamented that senior masters like them were shocked by this decisive battle.Bai Youjin seemed to suddenly remember something and mentioned casually: “About this battle, there seems to be a gambling game in the city.”

Zuo Mingzhu said “Ah”: “Wouldn’t this be disrespectful to both Lord Yecheng and Lord Ximen?”

Bai Youjin replied: “With the personalities of those two people, they shouldn’t care too much.”

Yan Bugui asked: “Which side does the banker think has a higher winning rate?”

Bai Youjin seemed to have a special understanding of it and answered this question easily: “In the beginning, there was almost no difference in the winning rate between the two sides. Until later, there were rumors in the world that Ye Gucheng met a member of the Tang clan, had a conflict, and was seriously injured as a result. Ximen Chuixue’s winning rate immediately increased sharply, but the odds dropped sharply.

“Recently, there are rumors that Wei Gucheng is still heading straight to the capital. It is suspected that he is not injured or has recovered, but Ximen Chuixue is still missing. Some people say that he is timid and may not come, so the odds have increased again.”

Liu Yuan peeled off a shrimp and threw it into Yan Bugui’s porridge: “That Ximen Village owner doesn’t look like someone who would be timid in the face of battle.”

Guo Xiang asked curiously: “Brother Liu knows Master Ximen?”

“I met once.”Liu Yuan thought for a while. In fact, he was not sure whether the swordsman in white he met was Ximen Chuixue, so he added, “I have seen a swordsman in white. His sword is an excellent sword and his swordsmanship is also sharp. But I am not sure whether he is Ximen Chuixue – I just think that person fits the description of the rumors.”

Zuo Mingzhu suddenly sighed, looked around, leaned forward slightly, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: “I heard about the battle between two swordsman masters, and I thought it was quite exciting, and I wished I could go there and watch it in person.But now that I know someone has opened a bet for this, I suddenly feel that it is no different from fighting crickets.”

As soon as these words came out, the people at their table were silent for a while.Not long after, Yan Bugui was the first to speak and break the strange silence: “There is still a difference, crickets can’t use swords.”

Guo Xiang laughed out loud: “Brother Yan, you are so funny!”

Yan Bugui looked at Guo Xiang innocently, wondering where the girl was smiling.Liu Yuan twitched the corners of his lips and threw another shrimp into his brother’s bowl: “Eat yours.”

Bai Youjin coughed slightly and changed the subject: “The bet is not only about winning or losing, but also about whether the duel will go smoothly in the end, whether the time or place will be changed temporarily, and when the two of them will enter the capital, etc. There are many things that have been done openly and secretly.

“But the most eye-catching thing is the bet between Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan – if the others are just playing for a while but more importantly participating, these two people can be said to have gambled their entire fortune.”

At this point, he also briefly mentioned the power and financial resources of Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan in the capital, as well as the fight between them, to Yan Bugui and Liu Yuan, brothers from “overseas” and “hidden sect”.

“I can’t understand.” Yan Bugui shook his head, “Are they trying to get a chance or are they just gambling?”

Bai Youjin guessed that Yan Bugui might not really want an answer, so he replied ambiguously: “Maybe both.”

As expected, Yan Bugui didn’t dwell on this topic, and soon moved on to other things.Most of his thoughts now are thinking about when his brother Xie will come to the capital to join them – the most important thing is that Xie Donghai shouldn’t be too angry because he didn’t even reply to his message and went north to the capital, right?

.

Xie Donghai, who was missed by Yan Bugui, was on his way to the capital – in fact, he didn’t rush much.

After Ye Gucheng left Feixian Island by boat for the Central Plains, Xie Donghai did not stay on the island, but he did not immediately follow him to land. Instead, he dived directly into the deep sea, and waited until he had collected enough aura to transform before flying to the Central Plains. He originally stayed on the island, but he needed an identity and someone to help him find the news about Yan Bugui, so he found a temporary base.

Now that he had the information, and Xue Ling and the others were gone forever, he knew Yan Bugui’s choice – since his “little geese” didn’t plan to come to the South China Sea, there was no need for him to stay and wait.

As for whether he was annoyed by Yan Bugui’s choice, it was not a lie at all.However, he understood from the beginning that the matter was inherently between two choices, and no matter what decision Yan Bugui made, he had expected it, so he just silently made another note for his little wild goose in the little notebook in his heart, so that he could get it back justifiably in the future.

Xie Donghai is already very familiar with such “accounts” – Yan Bugui has never been a child who can make people worry about him since he was a child. If he indulges without any principles, the possibility of becoming a demon king is extremely high.

Therefore, Xie Donghai, who became a “brother” for the first time, learned to “keep accounts”. He would punish serious problems on the spot, and write down things that were not serious and could not be ignored. If he encountered them again later, he would take them back one by one.

When they were purely adoptive brothers, Xie Donghai’s punishment methods were just kneeling down, copying books, slaps on the palms, and being locked up in a small dark room… But when they turned into a romantic relationship, the sanctimonious and glorious Penglai elder had more tricks.

Of course Yan Bugui couldn’t be ignorant of this, and sometimes he would even make “mistakes” on purpose – the swordsman was very reserved and tolerant in bed, but that didn’t stop him from deliberately asking Xie Donghai to keep his “account” and have some fun with his brother Xie.

That’s a long way off… In short, after Xie Donghai was finally able to change into a human form, he flew north following the causal connection left by the previously obtained information.To say that he was in a hurry, he was actually not that anxious – after all, he had calculated that the blood moon would not appear until some time before the blood moon appeared. To say that he was not in a hurry, he actually wanted to find the wild goose as soon as possible, so as not to let his little wild goose be led away by Liu Yuan.

After returning to the Central Plains from the vast sea, Xie Donghai accidentally or unintentionally inquired about some rumors in the world – such as the “full moon night, the top of the Forbidden City” that has been spreading a lot recently.He calculated with his fingers and found that this time happened to be the day when the blood moon came, and he couldn’t help but sigh – it seemed that they could watch a good show before leaving.

As for whether his new friend Ye Gucheng really wanted to find a sword opponent, and whether he would be defeated in this duel… Xie Donghai’s heart was unfazed by this.

He could tell that Ye Gucheng had a lot of things on his mind, and he should be advised as a friend.However, he could also see that Ye Gucheng was a determined person and would not change his decision easily, so he chose to respect it.Moreover, no one knows what the ending will be before the end. If the other party really encounters something unexpected, he will express regret – but only regret.

Time can remember many people and things, but it can also take away many memories.In the two or three hundred years since he joined Penglai, he has witnessed the passing of many talented and beautiful people, and watched the aging and death of one acquaintance after another. He has a self-consistent view of life and death – even if he learns, understands and understands empathy for human emotions, he will never let himself be immersed in some extreme emotions for a long time.

Xie Donghai, who was never internally dissatisfied, even unexpectedly picked up a couple on his way north to the capital – to be precise, when he was passing by a valley with pretty scenery, he noticed a strange and ugly large eagle that had given birth to a spirit. Then he discovered that there was a human male pendant with a broken arm next to the big eagle.

The man looked at the bottom of the valley in trance, giving the impression that he wanted to jump, but he did not jump for the time being.So he took advantage of the situation and looked towards the bottom of the valley. The depth and covering of plants could not block his sight or perception, so he quickly found a human woman hiding at the bottom of the valley.

The strange-looking giant eagle has lived for many years and has eaten many treasures from heaven and earth. Even though it cannot speak, it is already wise enough to be called “miraculous”.In addition, although Xie Donghai was floating in the air, he was looking at the big eagle with undisguised eyes. After the divine eagle, which had followed the sword demon Dugu Qiubai of a generation, noticed something was wrong, he looked around and soon discovered the “little man” in the sky.

If “Brother Diao” hadn’t suddenly sounded a warning, Yang Guo really didn’t notice that there was a man holding an umbrella floating above them, and he didn’t know how long he had been staring at them.Even though it was broad daylight, even though the other party looked more like a fairy than a mountain ghost, even though he was a disciple of the Tomb Sect… Yang Guo still almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Especially after the ethereal figure was discovered and landed lightly in front of Yang Guo and the Divine Eagle without making the slightest sound, it felt even more inhuman.

Of course, Yang Guo soon stopped wondering whether Xie Donghai was a human or a ghost, because the first thing the latter said was: “Do you know the woman in white at the bottom of the valley? Are you waiting for her to climb up at the bottom of the valley, or is she waiting for you to go down from the cliff?”
