"I don't know if this old patriarch will play tricks again, hmph, it's not good, I'll just go to Ruobing to pick it up, anyway, it's just to see, it's not that I don't want to pay it back, I shouldn't be so stingy, this old patriarch is simply ......" Li Yi thought in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the old patriarch's room, the old patriarch was reading a very old book in his hand, and the occasional sigh showed that the old patriarch's heart was not calm, and the light in his eyes from time to time showed that the old man was not as simple as impressing others.

"Ahem...... Cough...... cough ......" There was a violent coughing sound suddenly from the silent room, and the old patriarch hurriedly covered his mouth with a square towel like a handkerchief, but this cough was too violent, which directly caused the old patriarch to lose his breath, and he couldn't stop it for a while, I don't know if Li Yi would think that this old patriarch would not lie to him when he saw such a scene.

After a while, the old patriarch finally adjusted his breathing, made himself calmer, and before the old patriarch could handle the things in his hands, he remembered the knock on the door outside the house.

The old patriarch's brows furrowed slightly, not knowing what was going through his mind.

"Who is it?" The old patriarch waited for a while before asking.

"Report to the patriarch, Wei Zilong asks to see you."

"What's the matter?"

"He said he wanted to see you in person, and he said that you ordered him to do so, and that whenever he wanted to see you, we would tell you." The people outside seemed to sense that the patriarch was not in a good mood, so he hurriedly replied, and at the same time, it should be said that it was an explanation.

"Okay, no need to say more, let him in, by the way, if there is any news about that, you must tell me as soon as possible."

"Okay, I got ......"

…………

Wei Zilong walked into the old patriarch's room very usually, and almost everyone who is familiar with him knows that since following Zhang Moshui, Wei Zilong's whole temperament has changed a lot, if he used to be an honest and credible young man, he didn't have any thoughts at all, then now he feels a little gloomy, and it is difficult for people to understand a person.

After walking into the room, Wei Zilong saw the old patriarch sitting at the table with a handkerchief in his hand, his face was a little pale, and there seemed to be some beads of sweat between his foreheads.

"I've seen the patriarch." Wei Zilong greeted politely.

"No need to be polite, let's say, what's so important to be in a hurry." The old patriarch seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't mean anything polite when he spoke.

"It's nothing, it's just that Master Zhang heard that our Forgotten Tribe has a notebook of the previous Instrument Maker, so he wanted to borrow it and take a look, saying that he wanted to find a way to make weapons from it, which is also to better help us Forget the Tribe."

"Huh? How did he know about this? "The old patriarch was still a little strange that Zhang Moshui knew about this matter, because there were no outsiders when he told Li Yi about this matter that day, and he was very confident that the people present would not tell him about it.

Hearing the patriarch ask this, Wei Zilong not only did not feel a little embarrassed, but smiled to himself, and what Zhang Moshui said to himself sounded in his mind: If the old patriarch asks me how I know about this, you will say that I know everything and everything, and if the old man does not believe it, you will say that I heard it from some people of the Forgotten Tribe.

"Master Zhang knew that you would ask that, so he said that he knew everything." Wei Zilong also obeyed Zhang Moshui's words, so he relayed what Zhang Moshui asked him to say.

"Wei Zilong, do you think I will believe these nonsense?" The old patriarch's tone suddenly became stern, or because he had been in the top position for a long time, he was expected to be not angry and arrogant, and the old patriarch at this time made Wei Zilong really a little scared.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the patriarch forgives me, I really obey your orders, serve Master Zhang with all my might, and everything is under his orders to say so." Wei Zilong was a little nervous in his heart, so he began to explain.

"Wei Zilong, I hope you will remember to me that your ancestors and your parents are all people of the Forgotten Tribe, and you have long been branded as the Forgotten Tribe, I hope you will always remember your identity and don't do anything sorry for my clan." The old patriarch still had a tone of eyesight.

"Don't dare, please rest assured, the reason why Master Zhang knows this, I guess it is because I have been chatting with him in the village for a while, and other than that, I don't know, after all, I don't know about this matter."

"Remember the best, I'll have someone send him a rubbing, you don't have to worry about this, and at the same time you tell him, just say it's what I said, the Forgotten Tribe is hospitable, but everything must have a boundary, don't go over"

"Yes, I understand, and I will tell him." Wei Zilong replied.

"Okay, if it's okay, you can go back first." The old patriarch issued an eviction order, obviously letting Wei Zilong leave.

"I'll quit." Wei Zilong didn't want to stay here any longer, he couldn't understand why, he was still a little uncomfortable in the face of the old patriarch.

"Well, go down, by the way, Wei Zilong, please don't forget, you are a person from the Forgotten Tribe......" The old patriarch's somewhat tired voice came out.

Not long after Wei Zilong left, the knock on the door sounded again, and the old patriarch, who was originally going to take a break, had to sit up again, and a somewhat tired voice came out, "Who is it?" Didn't you tell me not to bother me if there was no big thing? ”

"Patriarch, it's me, Gu Zichao, Mr. said that he wanted to come to talk to you in person, so he took the liberty to come here so suddenly, and I hope the patriarch will forgive me." It was Gu Zichao who was talking outside, but the meaning in his words was very clear, he came with Li Yi.

Before the old patriarch could speak, Li Yi's voice also sounded: "Hey, old patriarch, don't put on a show, my time is very tight, I knew you had this attitude, hum, it seems that I shouldn't come, I don't know the hearts of good people......"

The old patriarch actually meant to ask like this, and he also knew that if it wasn't for something important, he wouldn't be allowed to disturb him at all, but he didn't expect that Li Yi, this kid, was very dissatisfied with himself, and he took such an opportunity to tease himself.

"What did Xiaoyou say, hurry up and please come in, no one can see you, I can't see you." Perhaps because he knew the reason for his loss, the old patriarch was very polite, and he didn't have the patriarch's temper at all.

The door was pushed open, and the one who walked in front was Li Yi, who was a little unkempt, followed by the cautious Gu Zichao, the reason why he brought Gu Zichao was because Li Yi hoped that an acquaintance would guide him on the one hand, so as not to have the trouble of finding his own way, although it had been a short time since he came to this tribe, but he really hadn't systematically studied the layout of this village, and he was focused on what he wanted to do.

There is a commitment, there is an effort.

Li Yi has always taken his commitment very seriously.

On the other hand, he likes Gu Zichao's character very much, maybe he intends to cultivate this disciple who is not named, for this place, of course he will not always want to be here, although he is not sure that he will be able to cultivate him successfully, but looking at such a hard-working young man, he still hopes to do his best.

"I don't know if Xiaoyou suddenly visited, what important things to point out?"

"I don't dare to say it, there is one thing to ask, and I hope the patriarch can help, of course, I believe you will help, if you don't help, I don't know when I will be able to really make the phantom stone weapons that the nobles need." Li Yi said half-jokingly.

"The alumni laughed, as long as we can help, we will definitely do our best, and if we can't help, we will try our best to help." When the old patriarch heard Li Yi say this, he knew that it must not be a trivial matter, so he responded very quickly, and of course he was very sincere.

"I want a Phantom Stone weapon that you are using now, I want to study it, I think this is the best way for me to understand it as quickly as possible." Li Yi said it very easily, in his opinion, this is a normal thing, but the reason why he said to ask for help is because even outside, no one will easily hand over their phantom weapons to others for inspection.

Hearing Li Yi say this, the old patriarch looked embarrassed, frowned, bit his lip lightly, and was speechless for a while.

Seeing the performance of the old patriarch, Li Yi felt that something was wrong, and he was naturally very puzzled in his heart, so he put away his smile and waited for the patriarch's reply seriously.

The old patriarch pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Xiaoyou, I'm really sorry to say this, now in the tribe, there are not many phantom stone weapons that are still intact, and even fewer are still in the tribe, so this is already half a meeting, I'm afraid it's ......" The old patriarch said very resolutely, but it didn't seem to be fake.

"Why?"

"It's not convenient to tell you now, but, Li Yi Xiaoyou, the old man really asks you to make the phantom stone weapon as soon as possible, this is really important for my clan, please, really please." The old patriarch's tone was a little excited, which also caused him to cough.

"I'll do my best, but the fastest way is really to let me see it for myself, and I also know that my phantom stone weapons are generally not allowed to be seen by others, which is a taboo, but I also really want the good of the nobles, I hope the patriarch is thinking about it." Li Yi thought it was the reason.

"Where did Xiaoyou go, it's really not what you think, but the people in the tribe who are staying behind now, there are really only Ruobing who has phantom stone weapons, but Ruobing, this girl, has always been unwilling to allow others to touch her weapons, so there are really some difficulties in this, so let's help you talk about it, if you can succeed, it's best, if she doesn't agree, I can only say that there is nothing I can do."

"Oh, since that's the case, then I won't bother anymore, wait for your good news, and take my leave......" Although he was full of incomprehension, Li Yi still chose to believe that the old patriarch should indeed have difficulties.

The old patriarch watched Li Yi leave, and then fell into deep thought.

The responsibility of a large tribe is pressed on this old man, it is really not easy, the old patriarch's mental state is obviously much more withered than just now, there should be some reason for the emaciation.

But the heavens were still joking with him, and just as he wanted to rest, there was a knock on the door again.

The old patriarch's face was a little ugly, he was always disturbed at such a time, and no one would be in a good mood. The two people who have been told by themselves to have the privilege to disturb themselves have already come, who will it be this time, isn't it...... Thinking of this, the old patriarch hurriedly let the people outside in.

This time, it was the retinue that had been following the patriarch for a long time.

"Oh? What's up? The old patriarch asked.

"There's news coming back from there, and it's not going well." The attendant replied.

The old patriarch took a deep breath, and then asked, "How is it, what about my two old brothers?" What is the situation? ”

"The situation can only be said to be getting worse and worse, there is a possibility of getting out of control at any time, I hope to think of a better solution, after the other two elders arrived there, they hoped to further probe, but this time, they did not come back, and their current whereabouts are unknown, but I am afraid that there is more luck than luck."

The handkerchief-like scarf in the old patriarch's hand suddenly slipped to the ground, and the whole person seemed to have some feeling of slumping on the seat, and his sadness was overflowing.

"Alas!"

In the depths of his heart, there was a deep sigh, but only he could understand such a sigh.

The old patriarch sat there and didn't say a word, the atmosphere in the room was very uncomfortable, and the patriarch's entourage didn't speak, just waiting for the old patriarch's orders.

Quiet, constant, without knowing what will happen in the next moment.

"That'...... That...... Any other news? The old patriarch's voice was a little choked, those two elders, who had worked with him for a long time, although there had been quarrels over the years, but hearing such news still made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

"Also, one of the elders left you a letter before you left, and repeatedly told you that it should only be opened for yourself. Bring the letter over there," the attendant said, handing the letter over.

The old patriarch took the letter with some trembling, and did not open it immediately, it seemed that there was some hesitation, and it seemed that there was some chagrin and remorse, such a feeling, really only he himself could understand, "Okay, you go out first." "The old patriarch first gave the order to evict the guests.

The attendant didn't say anything and quietly withdrew.

In the room, silence returned, to be more precise, only the old patriarch's breathing, a little heavy, and a little helpless, gently tore open the envelope, and then took a heavy breath before putting the letter in front of him.

Very simple but not without losing the rough handwriting reflected in the eyes of the old patriarch, such words, the old patriarch should be said to be very familiar, perhaps when he was young, some of the words he said, some seemingly naïve decisions, are recorded by such words.

The content of the letter was very brief.

Patriarch, Yu has gone, don't read, the great plan of the clan, you must be cautious and cautious, if our clan can continue, today's decision should be wise, however, if the clan is unfortunately broken here, your heart, Yu also knows, do not be ashamed. Looking forward to the next life, and then for brothers! (To be continued.) )
