The setting sun is as bright as blood, and the cold wind is as cold as a knife.
The cold wind blowing from the north cut everyone's faces like a knife. The wind came from the north, blew through Nadaizhou City, and was blocked back by the towering and vast Wutai Mountains. Especially the cold wind at dusk.
It was so cold that it felt like a cut, causing severe pain on everyone's faces.
A condensed atmosphere gathered, and a strange, secluded atmosphere spread throughout the Feng family courtyard.
The cold swordsman in white clothes and the charming man in red clothes looked at each other, with confident expressions on their faces, as if they were in control of each other's every move. And in Li's case
Behind the voluptuous man in red clothes, who looked like fire, were more than a dozen Khitan warriors in powerful attire who exuded a cold aura. They stood quietly with solemn expressions.
As the old master of the Feng family, Feng Yuxiu was helpless and melancholy at this moment. Because of a so-called treasure map, the Feng family was plunged into disaster. That map had consumed him for many years.
Guangyin still hasn't figured out the key to this map. In his hand, it's just a scrap of sheepskin.
As early as five years ago, Khitan masters sent people to sneak into this Feng Mansion with the intention of taking away this map by force. At that time, fortunately, the Central Plains Sword Saint Feng Lian Dao had some friendship with Feng Yuxiu and arrived in time. This
Only then did the Feng family survive, and the person who took the lead happened to be this extremely charming man Yelu Wuji.
After Yelu Wuji's battle with Feng Lian Dao, he was seriously injured and fled. He made a five-year agreement before leaving. Now Feng Lian Dao has disappeared after his battle with Wan Yan Wudi a year ago.
Now it happens to be the date of the five-year agreement. I was also assassinated four years ago, which resulted in damage to my skills and it was difficult to return to its heyday. This is why the Feng family has been on the road to decline step by step, and now it has reached the point of annihilation.
times of crisis.
As for this peerless swordsman who is as white as snow, Feng Yuxiu has no friendship at all. At the same time, he knows very little about this swordsman. Since the other party was entrusted by Feng Liandao to come to Daizhou to protect Feng's family
Zhou Quan, then this person must also be a trustworthy person. Feng Yuxiu glanced at Tan Zhenkun, and the other party also gave him a knowing look. As old friends for many years, each other's thoughts can be revealed with just one look.
Clearly.
The people of the Feng family standing behind Feng Yuxiu had firm gazes in their eyes. Their eyes shot out awe-inspiring light and fell on Yelu Wuji and the Khitan warriors behind him. They already knew the outcome in their hearts, although they still had
The only hope is the cold and arrogant swordsman in white clothes, but he alone is still unable to save the Feng family from the fire and water. There is no fear of death in their eyes, but only a feeling of love for Feng.
Loyalty to family and determination to regard death as home.
Among the people in the Feng family, there is a young man in his twenties. Although his body is not as strong as a mountain, he is still as strong as a pine. His flexible eyes can't help but look at everyone here.
His eyes moved from the snow-clad swordsman in white to the charming man in red, then to the dozens of cold and bold Khitan warriors in fine attire.
As soon as his eyes turned, he lowered his eyebrows in thought for a moment. This person was Yuan Xiaoliu. His identity had not yet been exposed. He was introduced to the Feng family by an acquaintance. The Feng family
People don't know the identity of this person, but he was entrusted by others to stay in the Feng family.
He, who has always been smart, was also anxious at the moment, but no one knew his identity. He was so anxious that he did not show his anxiety on his face. He was constantly observing the situation around him, hoping to escape from this dangerous environment.
Find a favorable opportunity to escape.
The people of the Feng family had no doubts about his identity, but one of the dozen or so Khitan warriors stared at him, which made him complain even more.
Feng Yuxiu and Tan Zhenkun, two old men, exchanged words with each other for a short moment. Feng Yuxiu's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "This map was entrusted by the ancestors of my Feng family when they followed Huang Gong in their early years and has been entrusted by Huang Gong for safekeeping ever since.
The Feng family has no intention of coveting it, and it is even more impossible to understand the key points of this map. However, the Feng family has been ruined because of the map. This is also Feng's great unfilial responsibility. Yelu Wuji, don't you want that?
Map, I will grant it to you today, but I only have one request."
"Feng Lao Patriarch, those who know current affairs are heroes. If Feng Lao Patriarch had handed over that thing earlier, we would not have mobilized troops to come. A certain family would not fight against this peerless swordsman from the Eastern Region. I don't know if Feng Lao Family
Whatever the Lord requires, just accept it. I hope you won’t play any tricks."
When Yelu Wuji heard Feng Yuxiu's words, there was no change on his face. He answered calmly, but his eyes were like sharp swords staring at Zhang Xiaofeng, who was more beautiful than Xuexiu in white clothes.
.
As soon as Zhang Xiaofeng heard Feng Yuxiu say this, there was only a slight movement on his face, and a trace of doubt in his eyes disappeared. The snow-like gown rising with the wind kept flowing, following the ups and downs of the snow-like gown.
What's more, his silver-frosted silk hair exudes an aura of arrogance and loneliness, and the cold, frost-like ice that is unique to swordsmen permeates the air.
Although there was a slight doubt, Zhang Xiaofeng did not interfere. He still maintained his standing posture. Under the sword-like eyebrows, a pair of eyes as black as paint were shooting out as sharp as substance.
The light locked on the charming man in red and the group of Khitan warriors behind him.
"I only have one request, which is to let all the people from the Feng family here leave, including Old Man Tan, his grandfather and grandson. I will stay here as a hostage. After others have left safely, I will hand over the treasure map on my own."
Yu Xiu said in a deep voice, his old face exuded a luster like glorious hair, his firm eyes met Yelu Wuji's without any fear, and fell on the charming and evil-looking man.
on the man.
"Master Feng, is it too late for you to make this suggestion now? Why didn't you make such a suggestion when a certain family first joined the Feng family? If you make such a suggestion now, even if a certain family agrees, but a certain family
The dozen or so Khitan warriors behind me also refused to agree and ordered my grandson to kill one of my Khitan warriors with a sword. How will this debt be settled?"
Yelu Wuji's tone began to become fierce and domineering, his eyes flashed red, and he said with overwhelming arrogance. After hearing this, the Khitan warriors behind him even exuded a fierce aura, shrouding them, and they were exuded.
It was as ferocious and bloodthirsty as a wolf, and the bloodthirsty and ferocious aura became even stronger.
"Hahaha, Yelu Wuji, did you give me a chance at the beginning? This is my only request today, otherwise I would rather destroy the map and no one will be able to get it." Feng Yuxiu let out a sad smile.
, and then the look of absolute despair on his face became even thicker.
"Father, no, the men of the Feng family have only died in battle without any compromise. Now these Khitan barbarians are so aggressive, we must not compromise with them." When the hot-tempered Feng Bupo heard this, his eyebrows suddenly stood up in anger, and he shouted suddenly.
He was very puzzled by his father's behavior, and he was unwilling to exchange the Feng family's treasure map for the lives of everyone in the Feng family.
"Shut up, what do you know? Go aside, do you still need to teach me how to be a father?" When Feng Yuxiu heard this, he immediately shouted in displeasure, and the majesty that had been hidden for a long time suddenly burst out at this moment.
.The strong power flowed over everyone in the Feng family like a tide, causing their bodies to tremble involuntarily, and they suddenly felt the long-lost pride and majesty of the old family master.
Especially Feng Bupo, a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw his father angry, he immediately lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows like an eggplant beaten by frost. Although he was angry and unjust in his heart,
However, he had been under the old man's power for a long time, and even with his fiery temper, he did not dare to say a word in front of Feng Yuxiu.
"Old Patriarch, I will follow you to the death, please take back my life." After Feng Bupo started to object to Feng Yuxiu, everyone in the Feng family said in unison, their tone was passionate and high-spirited, not caring about the existence of this crisis.
"Shut up, all of you. Do I still need you to teach me how to do things? Humph," Feng Yuxiu's eyes flashed a little, but he still said firmly, not giving anyone else a chance.
"Grandpa???????" Feng Yanke couldn't help but call out softly when he saw this. As soon as he started speaking, his father Feng Bupo glared back.
Feeling aggrieved, Feng Yanke had no choice but to remain silent. Although he did not agree with his grandfather's approach, he also knew that his grandfather's decision was to give the rest of Feng Yanke's family a chance to escape.
But his heart was filled with even more resentful and unconcealable grief. The Feng family's promise to exchange for the lives of the Feng family and others was even more uncomfortable than his own death.
At this time, a staggering old man walked from a distance. The old man came with a staggering step, leaning on a cane. When everyone in the Feng family saw the old man, they all got out of the way, allowing the old man to walk straight to the old master.
Before. The expressions on their faces were extremely respectful. The old man never showed up at first. He could have left on his own, but he still came. Even when the Feng family was about to live or die, he still returned to the Feng family.
This old man is Lao Li, the old housekeeper of the Feng family. His face is covered with wrinkles like the ravines left by the erosion of time. He is dressed in rough cloth and a pair of worn-out straw sandals, showing his simple style. Only the top of his head
The mottled hair lay sparsely on his forehead, allowing his bald forehead to be fully displayed in front of everyone. His slightly funny light forehead was like an ingot under the setting sun.
, but no one laughed and ridiculed his funny light forehead.
Steward Li slowly walked towards the crowd while leaning on the crutches, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
A pair of weather-beaten eyes passed over the crowd. Steward Li's deep eyes suddenly burst out with a light that penetrated the heart. His slightly hunched body suddenly straightened up. Everyone's hearts were shocked. At this time
It seems that Butler Li is not the old butler they are familiar with who has served the Feng family for decades.
The staggering old butler came slowly and slowly from the path deep in the Feng family courtyard. However, he did not go towards the Feng family, but towards Yelu Wuji, who was alluring in red.
"You're here." The old butler walked in front of Yelu Wuji. The crutch in his hand hit the ground lightly, and a pair of cloudy eyes shot out a sharp light and swept straight towards the charming man Yelu Wuji. His
He was a head shorter than Yelu Wuji. He looked up with his slightly raised head. He spoke to the other party like an old friend reunited after a long separation.
"Yes, I'm here. How are you lately?" Yelu Wuji's eyes narrowed. He no longer had that evil expression, but a serious one. And he seemed to have deep respect for the old man.
, his tone was very light but extremely respectful. He actually knew the old housekeeper who had served the Feng family for decades, and it was far from just an acquaintance.
Feng Yuxiu and everyone in the Feng family had incredible expressions on their faces. They never dreamed that Butler Li, who had served the Feng family for decades, would actually meet the charming Yelu Wuji in red and listen to their conversation.
It seemed that it was more than just an acquaintance. Doubts flashed through everyone's hearts. They didn't understand why the honest and friendly old housekeeper gave them a strange feeling. That feeling made them feel very uneasy. The thick uneasiness became more and more intense.
coming more and more intensely.
"Very good, I'm very good. I eat well, sleep soundly, and I won't die for the time being." The old butler nodded and replied calmly. There was no expression in his eyes, and they were as turbid as a lamp that had run out of oil.
, but his whole body gives people a deeper aura, which is like the vastness of the sky, giving people the urge to worship.
"That's fine. I've wronged you all these years." Hearing this, Yelu Wuji nodded to the waning old man. His eyes unexpectedly showed a trace of softness, and there was no such sharp look at all.
Look and sharp light.
"It's not really a grievance. I'm just tired of staying here for decades. It's time to go back. Old man, this world belongs to your younger generation." The old man let out a long sigh with a tone of voice.
There was endless sadness and melancholy in it. His gaze briefly fell on Feng Yuxiu, whose expression changed slightly.
