Chapter 9 The eighth time drunk as mud

He also explained: "Twenty years ago, Huashan Mountain was the absolute peak. No one else knew about the battle between you and my late father, but I knew about it." The old coachman clenched his hand tightly. Yan Shisan said: "You were defeated by your late father's sword in that battle. In the past twenty years, you must have thoroughly studied the Thirteen Swords of Death, because you have always wanted to find opportunities for revenge!" The old driver suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity that he died too early." Yan Shisan said: "It is because you have thoroughly studied the thirteen swords that kill you, so you know that besides the thirteen swords, there is a fourteenth sword, so you can think of the attack just now. "

He sighed, and said, "Besides you, I'm afraid there is no other person in the world." The old coachman did not deny it. Yan Shisan said: "No matter where Xue Keren fled, he couldn't escape Xia Houxing's hands, and of course it was because of you." The old coachman said, "Oh?" Yan Shisan said: "Twenty years ago, there were very few people in the Jianghu who could match the ability of the flame eagle Xiahou Feishan to hunt and search." The old coachman said indifferently: "You seem to know a lot." Yan Shisan said: "Indeed there are quite a few!"

The old coachman's eyes suddenly shot out a cold light like a sword, and he said: "You also know why I suddenly disappeared? After disappearing, why do you still want to be a slave and become Xiahou Xing's coachman?" Yan Shisan said flatly, "I don't need to know these things." He really doesn't need to know these things, because they are other people's secrets, other people's privacy.But he is not ignorant. ——The struggle between brothers, the affair between uncles and sisters-in-law, a momentary mistake, and a century-old grudge. This is a common tragedy in some huge families, and it doesn't just happen to the Xiahou family.It's just that their brilliant reputation and brilliance are enough to dazzle the eyes of the world, so that others can't see these ugly and tragic things.

——Is Xiahou Feishan's disappearance in the past because of his affair with his sister-in-law? ——After he disappeared, he came back quietly, and would rather bow himself down as a slave and be Xiahouxing's coachman, why? ——Could it be that Xia Houxing is his son born because of this evil fate? Yan Shisan didn't want to guess about these things.Because this is someone else's privacy, he doesn't have to know.He didn't want to know either. The old coachman was still looking at him, with eyes that were no longer tired and tired.Yan Shisan did not avoid his gaze. If a person has a clear conscience, there is no need to escape, no matter what.The old coachman suddenly asked a very strange question.

He asked, "What's your last name now?" Yan Shisan said: "Yan, Yanzi's Yan." The old coachman said, "You are Yan Shisan?" Yan Shisan said: "Yes." The old coachman said, "Are you really your father's son?" Yan Shisan said: "Yes!" These few sentences are not only strange, but also inexplicable, and the person who answered them is also inexplicable.What you asked was nonsense. There was no need to answer nonsense, but Yan Shisan had to answer.Because he knew that these words were not nonsense, and what the old coachman said next would not be nonsense either.

He said, "Since you are your father's son, I should have killed you!" Yan Shisan did not speak. He understood the old man's feelings. In the minds of Jianghu people, the shame of failure is a kind of hatred that will never be forgotten. Hatred must be revenged. The old coachman said: "Just now I wanted to kill you with your own swordsmanship!" He sighed a long time, and said again: "It's a pity that Xia Houxing's strike is too soft, and the change of your sword is too terrible." Yan Shisan said: "His attack is not soft, but he has lost confidence in himself."

Yan Shisan said: "I'm not proficient in using that sword, so if you made the move just now, I might have died under your sword." The old coachman also admitted that the tramp did see very accurately. —Who is he? There are a lot of strange people and strangers in the world. If they don't want to reveal their identities, why do you have to pursue them? Yan Shisan said: "Now..." The old coachman said: "It's different now!" Yan Shisan asked, "What's the difference?" The old coachman said: "Now you have confidence in the sword you used, even I can't break it."

Yan Shisan said, "You can at least try." The old coachman said, "No need." Yan Shisan said: "No need?" The old coachman said: "Since you don't need to know some things, there are some things I don't need to try again." He didn't let Yan Shisan speak, and said again: "Twenty years ago, I was defeated by your father's sword, and twenty years later, Xia Houxing was defeated by your sword again, why should I try again?" Although he spoke plainly, there was indescribable sadness in his voice. Yan Shisan also understood what he meant.Perhaps what he was feeling was not the battle of the past, but today's defeat.

Because he finally realized that even his own son was not as good as other people's sons. This is a real failure, a complete failure, and this kind of failure is absolutely irreparable. What's the use of killing someone else's son? The old coachman said slowly: "The Xiahou Clan has lost today, you might as well take away any member of the Xiahou family." He is ready to ask Yan Shisan to take Xue Keren away. He no longer wanted such a daughter-in-law. Yan Shisan said: "I don't want to take anyone away." The old coachman said, "You really don't want to?"

Yan Shisan shook his head and said, "But I want..." The old driver's pupils shrank, and he said, "Even if you want my head, I can give it to you!" Yan Shisan smiled and said, "I just want a horse, fast horse!" It really is a fast horse. Yan Shisan beat the horse and galloped wildly. He didn't cherish this one-in-a-million fast horse at all. He no longer cherishes his physical strength.For this battle, he is completely unsure and hopeless, because he knows that no one can break the third young master's sword. Never! He only hoped to reach Lushui Lake before Cao Bing.

Green Water Lake is under Cuiyun Peak. Shenjian Villa is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with ancient and grand buildings.On the other side of the lake is a small village, most of the people in the village have the surname Xie.People who want to go to Shenjian Villa usually have to be conveyed by the shopkeeper Xie.Like most other places, the name of this restaurant is Xinghuacun. Little Xinghua Village. When Yan Shisan arrived at Little Xinghua Village, the horse had already collapsed. Luckily his men haven't fallen yet. He rushed in, he wanted to ask Xie Wangsun if Cao Bing had arrived at Shenjian Villa. But he didn't have to ask.Because as soon as he rushed in, he saw the answer.A living answer. There were only two people in Little Xinghua Village. As soon as Yan Shisan rushed in, he saw Cao Bing. The real Cao Bing, Cao Bing has come first. Cao Bing is still alive.Has he already met the third young master, and now that he is still alive, could it be that the third young master has died under his sword? Yan Shisan didn't believe it, but he couldn't believe it.Cao Bing is by no means the kind of patient person, as soon as he arrives here, he will definitely break into the Excalibur Villa. He will never stay here and wait.No matter who broke into the Divine Sword Villa, there was only one reason for him to come out alive. He has defeated the most terrifying person in Excalibur Villa. Can Cao Bing really defeat the Third Young Master?What method did he use to break the third young master's sword?Yan Shisan really wanted to ask, but didn't. Because although Cao Bing was still alive, he was already drunk. Get drunk.Fortunately, there was another person in the hotel who was not drunk, shaking his head and sighing while watching him. "This man must not be a drinker. He only drank more than half a catty, and he was drunk for a whole day." Not a drinker, why get drunk? Is it because of a kind of emptiness after victory, or because he wanted to drink some wine to strengthen his courage before the final battle, but got drunk first? Yan Shisan couldn't help but ask, "Are you shopkeeper Xie here?" The person who was shaking his head and sighing immediately nodded. Yan Shisan said: "Do you know if this man has met the third young master of the Xie family?" Shopkeeper Xie said, "I don't know." Yan Shisan said: "Has he already been to Shenjian Villa?" Shopkeeper Xie said, "I don't know." Yan Shisan said: "Where are the third young masters now?" Shopkeeper Xie said, "I don't know." Yan Shisan said coldly, "What do you know?" Shopkeeper Xie smiled, and said, "I only know that you are Yan Shisan, and that you are going to Shenjian Villa." Yan Shisan smiled. This person doesn't know what he should know, but he seems to know everything he shouldn't know. Yan Shisan said: "Can you take me there?" Xie shopkeeper said: "Yes!" The water of Lushui Lake is as green as blue. It's a pity that it's late autumn now, and there are no weeping willows by the lake, but there is a fast boat. "This boat is specially designed to pick you up. I have been preparing for it for three days." They boarded the boat.There are not only wine and food in the boat, but also a piano, a chessboard, a volume of books, and a smooth and hard stone. Yan Shisan asked, "What is this?" Xie shopkeeper said: "This is a sharpening stone." He smiled and explained: "I have seen a lot of people who went to Shenjian Villa. Everyone will do different things after getting on this boat!" Yan Shisan was listening. Shopkeeper Xie said: "Some people drink like crazy as soon as they get on the boat." Yan Shisan said: "Drinking can strengthen your courage." He poured a glass of wine and drank it down: "It's just that drinking is not necessarily for courage." Shopkeeper Xie immediately agreed, and said with a smile, "Some people drink just because they like to drink." Yan Shisan drank three more cups. Shopkeeper Xie said: "Some people like to play the piano, read books, and some even like to play chess alone." These are all ways to relax and keep calm. Shopkeeper Xie said: "But most people like to sharpen their swords after they get on this boat." Sharpening a sword is also a way to keep calm, and it can be completely mindless. Shopkeeper Xie looked at Yan Shisan's sword and said, "This is a very good sword sharpening stone." Yan Shisan smiled and said, "My sword has never been sharpened with stones." Shopkeeper Xie said, "What can you use if you don't use stones?" Yan Shisan said flatly: "Use your neck, the enemy's neck." The water is rippling, reflecting the sunset in the sky, and the Cuiyun Peak in the distance is more beautiful like a picture. The cabin was very peaceful, because shopkeeper Xie had already shut up.He didn't want his neck to be used to sharpen a sword, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the sword. A sword with thirteen pearls on it.This is not a precious sword, but a famous sword, a very famous sword. Facing the lake and mountains outside the window, Yan Shisan seemed to be thinking about something, but after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly turned around and said, "Of course you have seen that third young master." Shopkeeper Xie couldn't deny it. Yan Shisan said: "Do you know what kind of sword he usually uses?" He had seen the third young master make a move, once from a distance, but he didn't see the sword clearly. Because the third young master's shot was too fast.So he couldn't help but want to ask, but when he asked, he felt it was unnecessary. Because shopkeeper Xie's answer must be: "I don't know." But this time he was wrong. Shopkeeper Xie murmured, and said slowly: "Do you know about the sword debate at Mount Hua?" Yan Shisan knew. Shopkeeper Xie said: "The third young master is using that sword." Yan Shisan said, "The best sword in the world?" Shopkeeper Xie nodded, sighed and said, "That is truly a famous sword that is unparalleled in the world." Yan Shisan admitted: "That's true!" Treasurer Xie said: "Many people go on this boat, not because they want to admire that sword." Yan Shisan said, "You are the one responsible for picking up and dropping off each time?" Shopkeeper Xie said: "Usually yes, when I go, I usually accompany them to play chess and drink." Yan Shisan said, "What about when you come back?" Shopkeeper Xie smiled and said, "When I come back, I usually come back by myself." Yan Shisan said: "Why?" Shopkeeper Xie said indifferently: "Because once they go, very few of them come back." The setting sun fades, and the twilight thickens. The green hills in the distance have gradually disappeared into the thick twilight, like a faded picture. It's quieter in the cabin.Because Yan Shisan also shut up. ——Now that he has gone, will he come back alive? He suddenly remembered many things, many things he shouldn't have thought about. He thought of his childhood and those playmates in his youth.He also remembered those who died by his sword. —How many of them are undeserving? He thought again of the first woman who slept with him, when he was still a child, but she was already very experienced. For him, that incident was not a very interesting experience, but now he suddenly remembered it. He even thought of Xue Keren.Did she go back with Xia Houxing now?Does Xia Houxing still want her? He didn't have to think about these things at all, and he didn't have to think about them, and he didn't want to think about them in the first place. But now he remembered everything, thinking in a mess.Just when his thoughts were the most chaotic, he saw a person standing by the green water lake in the autumn evening. When a person's thoughts are the most chaotic, it is usually difficult to see other people and other things. Yan Shisan saw this man when his thoughts were at its most chaotic. This person is not special.This man was a middle-aged man, perhaps older than middle-aged, his temples were mottled, and his eyes showed the tiredness of old age. He was dressed very plainly, a green shirt, cloth shoes and white socks.It seems that he is just a very ordinary person, just casually walked to this green water lake, saw the scenery of the mountains and waters in the last autumn, just casually stood down like this. Maybe it was because he was too ordinary, as ordinary as the twilight of this late autumn, that's why Yan Shisan saw him. ——The more ordinary people and things, sometimes the harder it is to ignore them. When Yan Shisan saw him, it was like seeing the twilight of the autumn evening. He would only feel very peaceful, comfortable, and beautiful in his heart, without any surprise or fear.
