The Golden Age Chapter 916: Juyi

Shen Xuangan stared into Xuanyuan's eyes. After a long time, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Xuanyuanchong didn't stop, didn't even glance at Shen Xuangan, picked up his teacup, and drank it in one fell swoop.

After a while, I saw Suyun coming in from the door, and seeing Suyun, Xuanyuanchong’s originally solemn expression instantly unfolded, stood up, and held Suyun’s cold hand in the past and stuffed it into his chest. , Said softly: "Is it frozen out?"

"Get used to it, it doesn't matter." Suyun smiled, full of warmth, and asked: "The third child left so soon?"

"He just came over and said, eldest brother wants to discuss the defense of the mountain, and he will go over to discuss later." Xuanyuan smiled.

Su Yun said quietly: "I lost this battle, will my life be difficult in the future?"

"Don't worry." Xuanyuan Chong said: "Everything has me."

Suddenly heard footsteps outside, I saw the second leader Yang Shixin appearing in front of the door, but seeing the couple's affectionate appearance, he hurriedly turned around, Xuanyuan Chong had already called to stop and said: "I'm looking for you, come in and talk." /

Suyun has already taken out his hand, turned around and smiled slightly at Yang Shixin, before leaving the house.

A habit formed over the years, when a man talks, Suyun will leave sensibly.

Yang Shixin bowed to Suyun, respecting him, and when Suyun left, he entered the house and said: "Just now, the brother who changed the guard said that the third master is here."

"Just left." Xuanyuan Chong raised his hand and said: "Sit down and talk!"

After Yang Shixin sat down, he said: "Second Master, Pi Chun is gone."

"Pi Chun?"

"Pi Chun was supposed to change the guard at noon, but he didn't see anyone else." Yang Shixin frowned and said, "Jiubao led people to look around, but he was never seen. The person in the room with him said that he would get up today. I didn’t see him at that time."

Xuanyuan frowned and frowned: "That means I lost my track last night?"

"The laws on the mountain are very strict." Yang Shitong said: "You can't walk around at will at night, especially these days, when the master’s orders are in various villages, there will be a curfew after entering the dark. No one is allowed to wander around on the mountain. Pi Chun Over the years, I have never made any mistakes, and I have also followed the rules of the copycat. This suddenly disappeared, which is really strange."

Xuanyuan Chong pondered a little, and finally asked, "Can anyone see him go down the mountain?"

"I have asked." Yang Shixin replied: "There are people on duty at the intersection of the mountain. They all proved that no one has come down the mountain in the past two days."

Xuanyuanchonghe's expression was even more solemn, and said: "Pi Chun is an old man on the mountain. He went up the mountain with me back then. He knew the intersection of Huangtuzhai well. It would not be difficult for him to avoid the guard post and go down the mountain." /

"Second Master, do you mean he went down the mountain?" Yang Shixin said in surprise: "It was snowing last night and it was freezing cold. What did he do when he ran down the mountain?"

Xuanyuan Chong shook his head, thought for a moment, and finally said: "You send a few people down the mountain to have a look, and let Jiubao continue to search on the mountain." After a pause, he stared at Yang Shi and said, "I'm going to black The water village, the master has something to discuss. I originally asked you to go there, but if you stay on the mountain, I will go alone."

"Since the master has ordered, how can he disobey?" Yang Shixin asked in confusion.

Xuanyuan rushed to the door, looked around, then closed the door, and the room was suddenly dark. Yang Shixin immediately knew that something was wrong, and whispered: "Second master, what happened?"

"Don't talk first, listen to me." Xuanyuanchong whispered: "After I leave, you immediately tell the brothers to guard every intersection. Before I come back, no one is allowed to pass. Especially those few. The suspension bridge must be guarded strictly, even if people from other villages come over, they are not allowed to pass. You will be an officer and soldier and you are about to attack the mountain, and you must be cautious."

Yang Shixin's expression became dignified, and he whispered softly: "Second master, has something serious happened?"

"Do you still remember the small path we discovered two years ago?" Xuanyuanchong whispered: "That road is overgrown with weeds, and no one knows except for us and Jiubao."

Yang Shixin nodded and said: "You mean the trail on the side of Xishan?"

"Follow that path, you can take a detour down the mountain." Xuanyuanchong's eyes were cold, and he exhorted: "Once a drastic change occurs, you will not be able to hold onto the Huangtu Village. Keep a part of the brothers who will desperately hold on to the main road to buy time, and the others will go from there. A path goes down the mountain." He hesitated, got up and said: "You wait a while." Turned around and went to the room.

Yang Shixin's face became more solemn. After a while, he saw Xuanyuanchong coming out of the house. He actually passed a letter in his hand. The seal was sealed, and Yang Shixin took it in his hand. Xuanyuanchong had already said: "This letter You put it away, take it with you, and don’t let others know about it."

"Second master, who do you want to give this letter to?" Yang Shixin was a little confused: "What the **** is going on?"

"If you have to go down the small intestine path, you will open this letter when you have to." Xuanyuanchong said, "I have arranged your whereabouts. Remember, you must never open your letterhead before then." /

Yang Shixin took the letter into his arms and said solemnly: "Second master, I naturally keep in mind what you ordered. It's just that your remarks make me feel very uneasy. Can you tell me what happened? ? Our brothers for many years, no matter what happens, I will carry it with you."

Xuanyuanchong raised his hand and patted Yang Shixin's shoulder gently, and said warmly, "In fact, nothing may happen, just a precaution. Shixin, if I really have any shortcomings, I will leave it to you. Also, your second wife and Yier also ask you to take good care of them."

"Second Master, if you don’t clarify, I won’t keep this letter." Yang Shixin took out the letter and handed it back to Xuanyuan Chong, his eyes firm: "You must be hiding something from me. Back then, we went up the mountain together. Go, also go together."

Xuanyuan said coldly: "So you should fart if I am?"

Yang Shixin was startled, Xuanyuanchong's eyes were cold and severe, and he said: "This burden can only be handed over to you. Maybe nothing will happen, but if it really happens, you have to take this burden for me. , Do you understand?"

Yang Shixin shook his fist, nodded slightly, and put the letter in his arms.

Xuanyuanchong stretched his eyebrows and smiled: "You know I've always been cautious in doing things. No matter what, I will plan for the worst."

In the cold winter, it is very early in the dark. The chiefs of the villages have gathered in the Juyi Hall of Heishui Village. A long table is placed in the middle, and there are large animal skin chairs around it, with a large chair at each end. The big chairs are the positions of the master and the second master respectively.

On the table in front of each chair, there is a jar of wine.

This is the tradition of Montenegro for many years. Whenever the leaders of the villages are called to discuss major issues, they will sit around a table, eat large pieces of meat and drink alcohol, and many things are discussed between eating and drinking.

Zhou Hongji sits on a bearskin chair, dressed up

The thick fur, looking at the main entrance of Juyi Hall, at this time all the chiefs of the villages have arrived, but the two chiefs of Huangtuzhai have not yet arrived.

The banquet is naturally not open until the second master arrives.

The expressions of several masters were different. Zhou Hongji had a calm expression, as usual. The third master Shen Xuan felt calm, but Du Zitong showed an anxious attitude, looking out the door from time to time, and looking at Zhou Hongji from time to time.

Only the fifth head Zhou Yuanbao wrapped his arms around his chest, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

"Do you want to send someone to remind you?" Du Zitong couldn't help but said: "It's dark, why hasn't the second brother arrived yet?"

"Not in a hurry." Zhou Hongji calmed down: "Since he has come over, he will definitely come. Maybe he is already on the way."

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a voice outside: "The second master is here!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the front door, and then they saw Xuanyuanchong coming in from outside the door, stepping forward, and as soon as he entered the Juyi Hall, he folded his hands and smiled and said: "Be a moment late, brothers Haihan."

"Second brother, sit down!" Zhou Hongji frowned, stood up and said, "Everyone is here, I'm missing you."

Du Zitong frowned and said: "Second brother, why didn't Yang Shixin arrive?"

"Shixin had already followed, slipped his feet, flashed his waist, and was carried back." Xuanyuan smiled and said, "He is not lucky, he can't eat the meat here tonight."

Du Zitong couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhou Hongji, but Zhou Hongji was calm and composed, and smiled: "I hurt my waist, but you have to take a good rest. Shixin is your right-hand man, so there can be no mistakes. I happen to have some mistakes here. Heal the wounds of the bones and muscles, you can take it back and apply it to him."

"Thank you, brother!"

"Sit down." After Zhou Hongji signaled Xuanyuanchong to sit down, he ordered: "Stop meat!"

Soon, pots of steaming roasted meat were served on the table, and the whole hall suddenly overflowed with meat. Zhou Hongji stood up and said, "Brothers, we haven't been so busy for a while. It's all It’s my fault. Now that I’m getting older, my body is getting worse than before, and I don’t stand up to the toss like I used to do.” He said aloud, “Come on, let’s do it first!” , Drinking with their heads up, everyone sees the big master like this, and they are not polite to pick up the wine jar and drink with their heads up.

Xuanyuanchong hesitated, and finally took a big mouthful of Kaifeng mud.

"Happy!" Xuanyuanchong put down the wine jar, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and smiled: "Big brother, I still remember that when I went up the mountain, my eldest brother picked up the dust for me, just like today, eat big chunks Meat, hold the altar and drink." Putting down the altar, stretched out his hand to grab a piece of meat, and opened his mouth to bite.

Zhou Hongji stared at Xuanyuanchong, smiled and said: "So my second brother still remembers."

"I will never forget." Xuanyuanchong said sternly: "If there was no big brother to take in, and without the help of your brothers, there would be no Xuanyuanchong today, and many years ago, I became a wilderness. A pile of dry bones."

"Second brother, the reinforcements of the Long Rui Army have arrived. I heard that there are two to three thousand people." Zhou Hongji said with a beard. Compared with the Rui Army, I am afraid that it can’t take any advantage. The Long Rui Army’s well-equipped, and the last time it was shown that this group of officers and soldiers are indeed well-trained.” After a pause, everyone’s faces were swept away. Finally said: "The most important thing is that they have weird weapons that kill people invisible. Does the second brother know what kind of weapons are they?"
