The Gu Clan old dwelling is not far from the palace wall, Gu Shenwei remembers the position indistinctly, leisurely strolls to walk, slowly has a familiar feeling to the surroundings scenery finally, is only in the difference with the memory is large, probably this is the city that an imitation actually completely loses shape finely. 顾氏老宅离皇城不远,顾慎为隐约记得位置,信步走去,慢慢地对周围景物终于产生一丝熟悉感,只是与记忆中差别颇大,好像这是一座仿制精美却完全走样的城市。. Su Ai said low voice: „Person of following on the heels were more.” 苏蔼小声说:“跟在后面的人更多了。” „I make a bet, these people quick will vanish.” Gu Shenwei puts in order the state of mind, he does not come the former home grounds revisit to express the nostalgia. “我打赌,这些人很快就会消失。”顾慎为收整心绪,他可不是来故地重游抒发乡愁的。 „Really?” Su Ai opens the eye, almost must turn head to wait and see, bears forcefully, the belly actually did not make every effort to succeed cluck two, his face was all of a sudden red. “真的？”苏蔼睁大眼睛,差点要回头观望,强行忍住,肚子却不争气地咕咕叫了两声,他的脸一下子红了。 Two people entire morning water and rice have not entered, Pang Jing and princesses have not thought must receive cordially the guest. 两人整个上午水米未进,庞靖与公主都没想过要款待客人。 „Wait a minute, this nearby does not have the restaurant large-scale restaurant.” Gu Shenwei already the custom povertied, has not considered the issue of lunch. “等一会吧,这附近没有酒楼饭庄。”顾慎为早已习惯忍饥挨饿,根本没考虑过午饭的问题。 The face of Su Ai was redder, „did I bring some dry rations, Young Master Gu to eat?” 苏蔼的脸更红了,“我带了一些干粮,顾公子要不要吃点？” „You want to result in are really thorough.” Gu Shenwei slightly feeling surprise. “你想得真是周到。”顾慎为微感诧异。 „Shangguan Instructor had told me Young Master Gu does not care about the life trivial matters, therefore...... Therefore I have prepared dry rations, I guess the princess , to provide food, will inform ahead of time.” “上官教头跟我说过顾公子不在意生活琐事,所以……所以我就准备了一点干粮,我猜公主若是真想管饭,会提前告知的。” Su Ai is an intelligent youth, he comprehended the Central Plains aristocrat and Land of Fragrance aristocrat similar side of: Does not accept pleasantly surprised, visiting that has not notified ahead of time and does not have the banquet of invitation, is the actions of failure in politeness. 苏蔼是名聪明的青年,他已经领悟到中原贵族与香积之国贵族相似的一面:都不接受惊喜,没有提前通报的拜访和没有邀请的宴席,都是失礼之举。 „Un, I was a little also hungry.” In the Gu Shenwei mind appears Shangguan Ru to teach patiently Su Ai scene, could not bear turns head to look at his one eyes slightly, Su Ai has been pulling out to be loaded with the small cloth wrapper of dry rations from the bosom carefully, was this kind of simple movement, he also did extremely conscientiously, probably-- more than ten years ago in masonry study, when Killer(s) Servant Huan. “嗯,我也有点饿了。”顾慎为的脑海中浮现出上官如耐心教导苏蔼的场景,忍不住微微扭头瞧了他一眼,苏蔼正小心地从怀中掏出装有干粮的小布包,就是这样一个简单的动作,他也做得极为认真,好像——十多年前在石堡里学当杀手的欢奴。 The streets and alleys were gradually lively, did not have the healthy servant before mansions of wealthy families gate, were many communication pedestrian and small traders and peddlers. 街巷渐渐热闹,没有了深宅大院门前的健仆,多了些来往行人、小商小贩。 Gu Shenwei remembers that this back street, commerce is mobile, specializes in selling the fashionable fruits and vegetables, in the afternoon will remove soon the booth, turned round again can see former Gu Residence. 顾慎为记得这条后街,商贩都是流动的,专卖时兴果蔬,午后不久就会撤摊,再拐个弯就能看见从前的顾宅了。 Su Ai has bought several pears, came back later to say happily: „The Capital City thing is cheaper than Jade City, has not thought.” 苏蔼买了几只梨,回来之后高兴地说:“京城的东西比璧玉城便宜,真没想到。” Jade City all are very expensive, because everyone must spend a money to be used to maintain life, even if devastates after the flames of war, has not had a new look completely. 璧玉城一切都很昂贵,因为每个人都得拿出一部钱用来保命,即使经过战火摧残,也没有完全改观。 The dry rations and pear finished eating, this street also came to the end, before Su Ai went into a booth, looked, anything has not bought, returns to side Gu Shenwei, filled with the respect saying: „Trailsman all did not have.” 干粮和梨吃完,这条街也走到了尽头,苏蔼又跑到一座摊前看了看,什么也没买,回到顾慎为身边,满怀敬意地说:“跟踪者真的全没有了。” Before Gu Lun prepares to be moved to Western Region, has sold the old dwelling, Gu Shenwei remembers indistinctly, in the past has had intense dispute for this matter father and Big Brother-- looks like in Big Brother, the Gu Family later generation will return sooner or later to Central Plains, should keep a foothold in Capital City. 顾仑准备迁往西域之前,已经将老宅售卖,顾慎为隐约记得,当年为这件事父亲和大哥发生过激烈的争执——在大哥看来,顾家后人早晚还是会回到中原,应该在京城留一处落脚点。 No matter who bought this to sit the dwelling, from now on is not reselling, did not have the opportunity to move, even has not kept the person to handle, the Gu Shenwei present dwelling deterioration cannot withstand, the front gate wall leaned to collapse, the weed inundated to live, was incompatible with lively Capital City, the reversed image was the Land of Fragrance capital city. 不管谁买了这坐宅院,过后不是转卖,就是没机会入住,甚至没有留人打理,顾慎为眼前的宅院衰败不堪,门墙倾圮,杂草漫生,与繁华的京城格格不入,倒像是香积之国的都城。 Su Ai holds the breath Ning Qi, he who is inquisitive is silent. 苏蔼屏息宁气,好问的他沉默不语。 „You stay outside.” Gu Shenwei said, alone pushes through the thick patch of grass from a gap, enters the old family, does not have many feeling at heart, he almost does not have the impression to here, actually memory to Western Region the manor as well as the Golden Roc Castle is profound, now wants to come still to come clearly into view. “你留在外面。”顾慎为说,独自从一处缺口拨开草丛,走进旧家,心里还是没有多少感受,他对这里几乎毫无印象,却对西域的庄园以及金鹏堡记忆深刻,现在想来仍历历在目。 He turned into „the Western Region person”. 他真的变成“西域人”了。 Because nobody guards, the house in institute had almost been dismantled completely, the material that can use does not have to remain, looks as far as the eye can see, Gu Residence is a wilderness, only then the locality had not been occupied by the weeds. 由于无人看守,院内的房屋几乎被人拆光了,能用的材料一无所剩,极目望去,顾宅就是一片荒野,只有个别地方还没有被野草占据。 Here is also the private talk ideal institute. 这里也是私下交谈的理想之所。 Gu Shenwei turned around, saw the old beard Luo Ping base and not the well-known long beard. 顾慎为转身,看到了老胡子骆平基和不知名的长胡子。 That crawls in the falling into disfavor aide who the place, trembles disappears, was still a grey clothes, was still the beard and hair is dishevelled, the expert who this time Luo Ping base actually likely was wore poor clothing General or deep conceals that makes a private inquiry does not reveal. 那个匍匐在地、瑟瑟发抖的失宠侍从不见了,仍是一身灰衣,仍是须发蓬乱,此时的骆平基却像是微服私访的将军或者深藏不露的高手。 That also disappears in being favored aide who in front of the princess makes threatening gestures, the long beard changes a grey clothes, stands side the Luo Ping base respectfully, shows younger generation some to obey truly. 那个在公主面前张牙舞爪的受宠侍从也不见了,长胡子换上一身灰衣,毕恭毕敬地站在骆平基身边,真正展现出一个晚辈该有的顺从。 „I think that I owe a Dragon King favor.” Luo Ping said, approaches step by step, the body has not carried the weapon, „said that this was my biological nephew, the Luo Qi rainbow.” “我想我欠龙王一个人情。”骆平基说,一步步走近,身上没有携带兵器,“介绍一下,这是我的亲侄子,骆启虹。” „Doesn't the Luo Family person like owing debt of thanks?” Gu Shenwei early expects will have this meeting, only then Luo Family can the trailsmen various schools persuade to quit, he has not paid attention to the Luo Qi rainbow. “骆家的人不喜欢欠人情？”顾慎为早料到会有这次见面,也只有骆家能将各门派的跟踪者劝退,他没有理睬骆启虹。 „Has nothing to do with Luo Family, this favor is I owes, is repaid by me.” The Luo Ping base must emphasize this point, „said that you want to understand anything from here, I will speak the truth as far as possible.” “与骆家无关,这个人情是我欠下的,由我偿还。”骆平基必须强调这一点,“说吧,你想从我这里了解什么,我会尽可能说实话。” As the action of repayment favor, the Luo Ping base sincerity are not quite many. 作为偿还人情的举动,骆平基诚意可不太多。 „In the past you presented the life of princess to go to Jade City, while convenient also a Shu Le country.” “当年你奉公主之命去往璧玉城,顺便还去了一趟疏勒国。” „Heh, Luo Pingying spoke a few words, made Dragon King guess correctly.” “嘿,骆平英多说了一句话,就让龙王猜到了。” Luo Pingying when narrating Luo Family and gratitude and grudges of Marshal Yang, once mentioned that sends for Western Region „visiting” Marshal Yang, the time and Luo Ping base tallies approximately, Gu Shenwei guesses correctly the truth from this. 骆平英在讲述骆家与杨元帅的恩怨时,曾经提到派人去西域“探望”过杨元帅,时间与骆平基大致相符,顾慎为由此猜出真相。 „What does Dragon King want to know? Right, hears now another new Dragon King. What does Young Master Gu want to know?” “龙王想知道什么呢？对了,听说现在另有一位新龙王。顾公子想知道什么呢？” „Marshal Yang.” “杨元帅。” „Cannot think, the interest of Young Master Gu to Marshal Yang is bigger than the family feud?” “想不到,顾公子对杨元帅的兴趣比家仇还大吗？” „Because I want to listen to you ‚as far as possible’ truth.” “因为我想听你‘尽可能’的实话。” Luo Pingying raises a chuckle, „, about Marshal Yang, my truth will be indeed more, which as for believing does not believe, is decided by Young Master Gu.” 骆平英扬头轻笑,“的确,关于杨元帅,我的实话会更多一些,至于相信哪些不相信哪些,就由顾公子自己决定吧。” „Where mentioned? Marshal Yang moved Jianghu in the past, Young Master Gu definitely has listened to many hearsay, having no need for me repeating again. Un, said that robs book matter, that is not Luo Pingying compiles to cheat temporarily your, several years ago he insisted that this suspicion, heard that I must go to Western Region, therefore requests me to visit Marshal Yang while convenient.” “从哪里说起呢？杨元帅当年名动江湖,顾公子肯定听过不少传闻,用不着我再复述一遍。嗯,就说盗书这件事吧,那不是骆平英临时编造哄骗你的,十几年前他就坚持这种怀疑,听说我要去西域,于是要求我顺便探访杨元帅。” „Finally made him guess right, I saw with one's own eyes Marshal Yang in ** the universe passage, after discovering me, Marshal Yang was ashamed, but he was a chivalrous person, has not killed me to eliminate a potential informant, but was the choice dies under the Golden Roc Killer(s) blade. Wanted me saying that this matter passed, Marshal Yang infatuated martial arts, after all has not created to Luo Family too in a big way harms. But Luo Pingying takes to heart, always thought that Marshal Yang robs the book for Gu Family, the Luo Family unique skill therefore to divulge to an outsider, when Young Master Gu kills a positive result in Western Region, he believed firmly without doubt. Actually I have done the close investigation, although Young Master Gu martial arts is unusual, but has nothing to do with the universe passage.” “结果真让他猜对了,我亲眼看到杨元帅在**乾坤推移,发现我之后,杨元帅非常羞愧,但他是大侠,没有杀我灭口,而是选择死在金鹏杀手的刀下。要我说,这件事就算过去了,杨元帅痴迷武功,毕竟没对骆家造成太大损害。可骆平英耿耿于怀,总觉得杨元帅是为顾家盗书,骆家绝技因此外传,等到顾公子在西域杀出一番名堂,他就更加确信无疑了。其实我做过详细调查,顾公子的武功虽然奇特,但是与乾坤推移无关。” „Does Luo Pingying never like Marshal Yang?” Gu Shenwei asked. “骆平英从来就不喜欢杨元帅吧？”顾慎为问。 „Naturally, you definitely had heard Marshal Yang raises one's head for the person with the matter of Luo Family martial arts contest, right, been defeated that Luo Family swordsman is Luo Pingying, at that time he was also not the hidden guest, from now on will not have the face to see the person, hid to practice martial art with single-hearted devotion.” “当然,你肯定听说过杨元帅替人出头与骆家比武的事,没错,被打败的那名骆家剑客就是骆平英,当时他还不是隐客,过后没脸见人,才躲起来专心习武。” The Luo Family person is not monolithic bloc, Luo Ping raises of the same generation martial arts best Luo Pingying, in the tone not the respect. 骆家人也不是铁板一块,骆平基提起同辈武功最好的骆平英,语气中并无敬意。 „Why Luo Pingying always suspected after Marshal Yang robs the book, has given Gu Family? Gu Family and Marshal Yang were many years have not associated.” “骆平英为什么总怀疑杨元帅盗书之后交给了顾家？顾家与杨元帅可是多年没有交往了。” „It is said that I do not have see, your grandfather with a Luo Family swordsman compared with the military, has defeated very miserably, from now on will be despondent to perish, just before the end before , was not convinced, not possibly said Gu Family Balanced Power weak in the universe passage of Luo Family. Marshal Yang has received your grandfather's kindness, therefore swore that must rob Luo Family absolute technique, brings to compare with the Gu Family heart law. Is this, long ago the matter, no one talked clearly, Luo Pingying such declared, others do not care, rebuttal.” “据说,我没亲见,令祖跟一位骆家剑客比过武,败得很惨,过后抑郁而亡,临终之前仍不服气,说顾家的合和劲不可能弱于骆家的乾坤推移。杨元帅受过令祖的恩惠,因此立誓要盗出骆家绝学,拿来与顾家心法比一比。就是这样,早年间的事情,谁也说不清,骆平英这么宣称,别人不在乎,也反驳不了。” Gu Shenwei did not have the issue, although the words of Luo Ping base were not necessarily credible, but indeed untied in his heart several doubts. 顾慎为没有问题了,虽然骆平基的话未必可信,但是的确解开他心中几个疑惑。 The Luo Ping base cups one hand in the other across the chest to prepare to say goodbye, finally said: „Luo Pingying representative Luo Family, he is not the hidden guest, has not resulted in the head of household to order to seek revenge to you, has angered many people. Luo Qi Kang dies was a pity, but the Luo Family person does not hate you. But you , to start to the princess, Luo Family and you are the enemy of being unable to co-exist, yes?” 骆平基拱手准备告辞,最后说道:“骆平英不代表骆家,他是隐客,未得家主命令就向你寻仇,已经惹怒不少人。骆启康死得很可惜,但骆家人并不恨你。可你若是想对公主下手,骆家与你就是誓不两立的敌人,明白吗？” „That asked you to favor princess.” Gu Shenwei turns around to walk toward the dwelling. “那就请你们看好公主。”顾慎为转身向宅外走去。 Luo Ping base uncle nephew looks at his back, hidden enters the thick patch of grass, vanishes without the trace, the bleak dwelling is as before bleak a piece. 骆平基叔侄看着他的背影,也隐入草丛,消失无踪,荒凉的宅院依旧荒凉一片。 The Su Ai back to the courtyard wall gap, about looks around vigilantly, hears behind sound of footsteps, immediately turns around, „some people came a moment ago, afterward walked.” 苏蔼背对院墙缺口,警惕地左右张望,听到身后的脚步声,立刻转身,“刚才有人过来,后来又走了。” „Un.” Gu Shenwei had not inquired, loosens the slender blade conveniently, gives Su Ai including the sheath, „takes a meeting for me.” “嗯。”顾慎为没有询问,顺手解下狭刀,连鞘递给苏蔼,“替我拿一会。” Su Ai received the blade, the complexion somewhat is pale. 苏蔼接过刀,脸色微有些苍白。 Two people leave the Gu Family old dwelling, in lane entrance corner, returns to that commerce accumulation on the street. 两人离开顾家老宅,在巷口拐弯,又回到那条商贩聚集的街道上。 The commerce walked similarly, on the long street remaining two people are only tidying up the goods, here customer mostly is the rich servant in nearby mansion, passed the noon, little will come out to stroll. 商贩们已经走得差不多了,长长的街上只剩下两人正在收拾物品,这里的买主大都是附近府邸中的有钱奴仆,过了晌午,很少会出来闲逛。 Su Ai notes, the street tidies up very cleanly, does not have including a piece of vegetable leaf. 苏蔼注意到,街道收拾得非常干净,连一片菜叶都没有。 A 50 -year-old man sees some people to walk from afar, immediately reveals the vision of anticipation, his also remaining several physical appearance not good fruits, hope that can sell. 一名50来岁的老头子远远看见又有人走来,立刻露出期待的目光,他还剩下几只品相不好的果子,希望能卖出去。 What a pity, these two likely are not customers, after young, returns alive to bring the blade, the old man not to dare to open the mouth to cruise, lowers the head to continue to tidy up the outdoor shop, planned that gives the neighbor the fruit. 可惜,这两人不像是买主,年轻的后生还带着刀,老头子没敢开口揽客,低头继续收拾摊子,打算将水果送给邻居。 The itinerant peddler who beyond dozens, the place of neighboring corner, did not have, is having the thing toward the basket. 几十步之外,邻近街角的地方,还有一名没走的货郎,正往筐里装东西。 This person about 30 years old, the cargo has sold out evidently, is not interested in the potential guest. 此人30岁左右,看样子货物已经卖光,对潜在的客人不感兴趣。 „How does your thing sell?” Gu Shenwei walks to ask the price. “你的东西怎么卖？”顾慎为偏偏走过去问价。 The itinerant peddlers raised the head surprisedly, turned head to look at one toward the basket, „, 12 money, you took away.” 货郎惊讶地抬起头,又扭头朝筐里望了一眼,“呃,12银子,你都拿走。” „Was too expensive.” “太贵了。” „My this is rare thing......” “我这都是稀罕物……” Gu Shenwei takes one step, as if must inspect the goods in basket, suddenly extends the left hand, with the itinerant peddler wrist/skill, itinerant peddler's response is extremely quick, turns the hand instead takes, although only one move, the stance was already uncommon. 顾慎为迈出一步,似乎是要检查筐中的物品,突然伸出左手,直拿货郎手腕,货郎的反应极快,翻手反拿,虽只一招,既已架势不凡。 Gu Shenwei is penniless, has not actually put forth the sword air/Qi, the left hand attraction itinerant peddler, the right hand attacks like lightning, happen to blocks the throat of opposite party. 顾慎为两手空空,却没有使出剑气,左手吸引货郎,右手闪电般出击,正好扼住对方的咽喉。 Su Ai has gawked a meeting, immediately moves, arrives at the basket, happen to blocks the vision of distant place old man. 苏蔼愣了一会,马上行动,走到筐边,正好挡住远处老头子的目光。 The itinerant peddler strategic point falls into the rival, in the heart startles greatly, the double fist attacks fiercely, hopes that forces the enemy to let go. 货郎要害落入敌手,心中大骇,双拳猛击,希望逼迫敌人撒手。 The Gu Shenwei right hand makes an effort, that two fists have pasted on him, a strength cannot cause. 顾慎为右手用力,那两只拳头已经贴到他身上,却一点力气也使不出来。 Su Ai is panic-stricken, he went to battlefield, has seen bloody, is in a lively peaceful city, suddenly makes a move to the counterfeit peddler of street, he does not prepare. 苏蔼心慌意乱,他上过战场,见过血腥,可是在一座繁华安宁的城市里,突然就向街边的假冒小贩出手,他对此毫无准备。 The itinerant peddler eyeball sticks out suddenly, on the face brilliant red wants to drop, may most make Su Ai feel frightened is actually the slayer: Gu Shenwei calm forms the striking contrast with the pain of itinerant peddler, is manipulating a poisonous snake of non- tooth like a skilled snake-charming person.( To be continued.) 货郎眼珠暴起,脸上红艳欲滴,可最让苏蔼感到恐惧的却是杀人者:顾慎为的冷静与货郎的痛苦形成鲜明对比,就像一名熟练的耍蛇人在摆弄一条无牙的毒蛇。(未完待续。)
