Chapter 173: Entering the Sealed Mansion and Meeting the Dead
Ling Tianyun looked at the back of the eldest lady of the Tan family who was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but think in his heart, he vaguely remembered that he should have seen this eldest lady of the Tan family before, and that was when he was young. More than a decade later, he still remembers the little girl who was sticking to him all the time with a dirty face. I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and the little girl who only likes to chew toffee in her mouth has also grown up, which is very different from the timid and shy character when she was a child. At this moment, Miss Tanjia, who has just grown up, has the demeanor of a chivalrous woman, but she still shows her two playful little tiger teeth from time to time.
Although his memory is vague, he vaguely remembers that the eldest lady of the Tan family is named Tan Tianya, the only daughter of the Tan family, and she is the favored daughter of the Tan family. If it weren't for their conversation just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized this kind of conversation with a drastic change in personality.
Seeing that Ling Tianyun didn't speak, Diao San, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to speak, but the splash beside him was also trembling, with a look of fear in his eyes, watching the eldest lady of the Tan family who rode away. For a while, they didn't know what to do, compared to the eldest lady of the Tan family who rode away, they felt that this young man in Xuanyi was much kinder.
"Who is that little woman, I scared you so much that you didn't even dare to say a word, and the old men were still afraid of a woman." Ling Tianyun opened his mouth and asked Diao San, although he had guessed the identity of the other party, he still wanted to confirm whether this girl was the talk of the world in his memory.
"Shaoxia, you are joking, this aunt is a famous person in our Daizhou City, her surname is Tan, her name is Tianya, and she is the only daughter of the Tan family in this state. However, I persuaded Shaoxia not to beat her idea, this aunt is not so easy to mess with. Hearing Ling Tianyun mention the girl just now, Diao San couldn't help but shudder again, he smiled wryly, and then replied, he thought that the other party had some kind of admiration for that girl, so he reminded him.
When Ling Tianyun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he didn't have any more explanations, let them misunderstand. At the same time, he also secretly wondered in his heart, sure enough, this girl is the one who talks about the world, and he doesn't know if the little girl still remembers herself after many years. With a turn of thought, he looked up at the sky, and found that when he was almost there, he couldn't delay any longer, and he had to hurry to the Feng family.
"Do you know how to get around the closed mansion?" Ling Tianyun had no choice but to ask this group of splashes for directions, and he didn't know when he would be able to find the right way if he continued to walk around like this, and it just so happened that this group of splashes could be free guides.
When he heard Ling Tianyun inquiring about the way to Fengfu, Diao San's eyes suddenly showed a look of joy, and he only heard his eyebrows flutter and say: "Shaoxia really asked the right person, if I say that I am most familiar with the place in this generation of state cities, there is no other place except this Feng family." That mansion, the small one, is too ripe to be cooked. Shaoxia, is this going to close the family? ”
As soon as his words fell, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "I don't know what Shaoxia is doing when he goes to that Feng family?" ”,
Ling Tianyun didn't know what the other party was thinking, he hurriedly explained: "Just this knife, I want to help transport it to a place because of the relationship between the Feng family. ”
"That's it, it turns out that the young man wants to entrust the goods, and the little one was too careful just now." When Diao San heard this, his face softened, and he quickly nodded and apologized to the other party.
"It looks like you're quite loyal to that family." , A hint of approval flashed in Ling Tianyun's eyes, and he said to him casually.
"Where, where, the little one has always been patronized by the Feng family, which makes the young man smile." Diao San was stunned, immediately reacted, and replied flatteringly.
"Alright, lead the way." Ling Tianyun didn't say anything more, and then asked them to lead the way to the Feng family.
At first, the little splashes didn't know what was going on, they didn't expect their boss to bring it to others, and they were immediately unhappy. In the end, he was reprimanded by Diao Sanhao, and then he settled down and became much more honest. It's just that they don't understand in their hearts, why the boss listens to the young man so much, and he can simply use a knot to please each other. Although they have doubts, they still have to listen to the boss's words.
They walked for about half an hour before they came to a large and simple house, in front of which several towering trees stood in front of it. The leaves had already fallen on the dead branches, and it was clearly visible that several bird's nests on the branches were lonely and nested on top of the towering trees.
Ling Tianyun looked at the door of the big mansion and frowned inadvertently, because what Diao San brought him to was not the main gate of this family, but a side door, which was usually only frequented by some people in the courtyard. He couldn't help but look at Diao San with puzzled eyes, hoping that he could give him a reasonable explanation.
"That's the case, today's old lady of the family celebrates his sixty-ninth birthday, and the main entrance is not to receive some guests who have sent invitations, and we are just some small minions, so we have to grieve the young man and enter through this side door." Seeing that his face changed, Diao San immediately explained, feeling that he was very familiar with this Feng family, but it was also an exaggeration, maybe the other party was just bragging, as for him and this Feng family, it may be just a general friendship.
Ling Tianyun didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being, it was hard to ask for to enter through this side door, but he felt that what Diao San said was very familiar with the Feng family, it was probably limited to some subordinates and the like. Anyway, if you come to it, you will be safe, and you are not afraid that this Diao San will not embarrass him, even if he borrows ten guts, I am afraid that he will not dare to fight his idea again.
When he came to the side gate of the Feng Mansion, Diao San sent the other splashes away, leaving only him and Ling Tianyun. Diao San stretched out his hand and knocked lightly at the side door, and after a while the side door opened, and a servant-like person poked out of the side door.
"Diao San, what's the matter, don't make trouble today, today is the old lady's birthday, if you make a fuss, no one can protect you." The servant seemed to be very familiar with this Diao San, and when he saw the other party, he said hello, but due to the angle factor, he didn't see Ling Tianyun standing behind Diao San. He only cared about the noisy with Na Diao, and at the same time did not forget to remind the other party.
"Look at what you said, what kind of person is my Diao Ye, how dare you come to Fengfu to make trouble, I didn't meet a young man on the road, he wanted to ask you to help the Feng family and trust a fortune, no, there was some trouble from Zhengjin, so I brought him here, and I bothered the little seventh brother to report it." Diao San said respectfully, then stepped aside and pointed at Ling Tianyun who was standing behind him.
The servant was stunned for a moment, then flashed out of the side door, came to Ling Tianyun's side, looked at him, and then turned to Diao San and said: "You kid really did a more reliable thing today, this old lady has a birthday, and our little ones can't be the master, so let's go into the house and report to the housekeeper." At that time, it depends on the meaning of the head of the house, and he will not accept business today. ”
After saying that, the servant dodged in through the side door again, and the sound of trotting footsteps sounded, and disappeared into Ling Tianyun's ears in a moment.
Ling Tianyun didn't care too much, but Diao San hurriedly apologized to him, and all the good things were said. Later, Ling Tianyun was really tired of listening, so he told him to stop. Neither of them spoke for a moment, but stood quietly by the small side door under the wall, waiting for the servant to come and notice.
After waiting for about a pillar of incense, the servant came out and said, "The master of the house said that everyone who came was a guest, but the house did not accept orders for the time being, so please ask this little brother to please go in and drink a glass of birthday wine." At that time, the head of the family will personally come to receive this little brother. As for Diao San, go in too. ”
Na Diao San shirked at first, saying that he didn't bring gifts or anything like that, and said a lot of excuses, but in the end he couldn't resist the servant's enthusiasm, so he had to follow the servant inside.
Ling Tianyun followed behind Diao San, looking around from time to time, this was still the same as before, and there was no change at all. After entering through the side gate, through a circular archway, there is a row of houses, where the miscellaneous servants of the feudal mansion lived. Further on was a row of stables, where a few tall horses were grazing on the grass. Further ahead is the residence of the old lady in the house, and everywhere is full of plum blossoms hanging with buds waiting to be released, so that there is a unique scenery.
A wide and open martial arts arena suddenly appeared in front of Ling Tianyun, in the past, he often came to this martial arts arena to see the martial artists of the Feng family practicing martial arts here, and he sometimes learned decently, and was laughed at by a group of martial artists of the Feng family for a long time. Whenever I was upset, I would come here to watch them practice martial arts, but that magnificent scene will always be remembered.
It's just that the martial arts arena at this moment is a lot more desolate, there are dead grass and branches everywhere, and the weapon rack is also so rotten that it is about to fall. The eighteen kinds of weapons placed on the weapon rack had long been rusted, and a scene of decay had arisen spontaneously. Seeing this desolate martial arts arena, Ling Tianyun's heart trembled, could it be that something happened to the Feng family.
"Little Seventh Brother, it seems that this martial arts arena has not been used for a long time, how can it be so desolate." , Ling Tianyun couldn't help but ask the servant who was called Little Seventh Brother, he remembered that this place was the most lively in the past, and whether there were any martial artists who came here every day to practice martial arts, which became an indispensable scenery for this family.
That Xiao Qi's face was pale, and he didn't answer his question. And that Diao San was so curious that he looked around, where was the fact that he was very familiar with the Fengfu, and it felt like the first time he entered the Fengfu.
Passing through the large martial arts arena, several slightly imposing buildings appeared in front of them, and from there there was a faint noise. The noise of chaos and disorder carried a joyful joy, presumably the banquet had already begun.
From a distance, Ling Tianyun could smell the smell of wine and fish, and the noise became louder and louder, and they walked towards the buildings.
The first thing that poured into front of me was the main room of the Feng Mansion, where six or seven tables were set up, almost every table was full of guests, who were making a lot of noise, eating meat from time to time, and greasy greasy stains ran down their mouths, and they didn't care about any image at all.
Among these people, there were vague martial artists that Ling Tianyun knew, but more than ten years had passed, and what these martial artists had revealed was a sense of heroic loneliness. Most of them were faces he didn't know, and there were only two or three of them he knew. The faces I don't know are all a new martial artist recruited by the Feng family, and those familiar faces are full of vicissitudes on their faces, as well as frost-white sideburns.
Inexplicably, Ling Tianyun's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.
The servant named Xiao Qi divided the tables and sat them down, and left by himself. Only Ling Tianyun and Diao San, who were not thinking differently, were left behind, looking at everyone in a daze, talking loudly and eating and drinking.
Ling Tianyun and Diao San were assigned to different tables, and when everyone saw their arrival, they warmly beckoned them to take their seats.
"This isn't Diao San, didn't you do something bad and get caught again."
"Ah, Diao San, what kind of wind is blowing your old man here today."
When everyone saw that Diao San, they made a joke, and they didn't look at each other coldly because he was a splash. The appearance of Ling Tianyun's unfamiliar face made everyone look at him for a while, and only when he saw Ling Tianyun put the big knife on the ground, making a dull sound, did he begin to face this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy squarely.
Diao San looked flattered, responded with everyone, and quickly blended into the crowd and toasted with them.
However, Ling Tianyun was a little shy, and after someone beckoned him to sit down, no one paid attention to him. Everyone is not familiar with him, only that he is a newly recruited martial artist, although there is no rejection of him, but there is obviously some snubbing him.
Ling Tianyun was thinking about what was going on in this family, he remembered that this martial artist was far more than just these people, in addition to the martial artist, there were some miscellaneous servants in the mansion, as well as some ordinary relatives in the mansion. Excluding these people, there may only be about one or twenty martial artists in this mansion.
In the main room, there are important clansmen of the Feng family, as well as important guests of the Feng family's banquet. Inside, however, there was no noise, and it was relatively quiet all the time.
While Ling Tianyun was pondering, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards the door of the main hall.
A woman in a black suit, exuding a strong heroic atmosphere, was following behind a red-faced man in a brocade shirt, and this woman in black was the black lady he saw with Guo Huai'an in Whitewater City. As for the red-faced man in the brocade shirt, he didn't recognize it, he only felt that the big man was extraordinary, and his whole body exuded a heroic and uninhibited aura, this person was eight feet tall, and he was holding a black eyebrow-level iron rod in his hand.
Ling Tianyun watched as the two of them were brought into the hall of the main room by the servants of the people who had been sealed into the mansion, and soon disappeared in front of his eyes.
