Chapter 152 My Teacher is Also My Father
Yun Chen quickly ran to buy the pot and mutton, but Jiang Ming didn't let her put them in the yard, but asked her to put them in the open cellar on the side and eat them.
"This place is too close to the Island of Mourning Birds, and the smoke from the pots can be easily discovered. It's safer to eat in the cellar." Jiang Ming said.
Yun Chen didn't suspect anything and quickly placed tables, chairs and food in the cellar. The master and disciple went into the cellar and had a delicious meal of mutton hotpot in front of the copper pot.
After Yun Chen finished eating, he wiped his mouth and was about to get up.
Jiang Ming seemed dissatisfied with Yun Chen's impetuousness before the battle. He lowered his voice and said, "Sit down and have a drink before leaving."
"Master, drinking makes people dull and affects my performance!" she said.
Jiang Ming said nothing, but just looked at her solemnly. Yun Chen had always been afraid of Jiang Ming's stern face, so he immediately sat back on the stool and picked up the wine glass obediently:
"Hey, one cup won't hurt."
The two cups collided gently in the air, making a crisp sound.
Jiang Ming held the cup but did not drink it. He was silent for a long time.
Seeing that Jiang Ming seemed to have something to say, Yun Chen didn't dare to drink first. He could only open his eyes wide and wait quietly for Jiang Ming to speak.
After a long while, Jiang Ming whispered:
"Huo Gannian is someone you can trust, barely worthy of you. Remember my words. No matter how the world misinterprets and criticizes you in the future, just treat them as barking dogs. They are too stupid to recognize the value of uncut jade. Just boldly follow your path."
Yun Chen had never heard Jiang Ming say such words before. He was moved, but it also felt like a farewell.
She said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely come back alive! I will also take care of you in your old age!"
Jiang Ming laughed and said, "Okay."
Yun Chen widened her eyes. She had known Jiang Ming for more than ten years, but this was the first time she saw him smile.
And his smile was so kind and gentle.
She clinked her glass with Jiang Ming's again and drank the whole glass.
Soon, her vision became blurred, her limbs became weak, and she fell to the ground.
Jiang Ming put Yun Chen on the haystack beside him, picked up the Blood-Drinking Sword, took a last look at the unconscious Yun Chen, and turned away resolutely.
He closed and locked the heavy iron door of the cellar, then grabbed the thick iron railing to test its weight. He felt relieved, thinking that even a tiger could not escape.
Then, Jiang Ming walked to the center of the courtyard and said to a large tree with lush branches and leaves not far away:
"Come down."
After a pause, the branches of the big tree swayed gently. Bu Yan jumped down from the tree nimbly, but did not approach Jiang Ming, keeping a vigilant posture.
Since leaving Danyang City, Bu Yan has been following Huo Gannian's orders and secretly protecting Yun Chen from a distance.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Ming knew about Buyan's existence.
Bu Yan also knew that he could not hide it from the former number one master of Nan Country, because in the past few days, every letter he sent to Huo Gannian about Yun Chen was intercepted by Jiang Ming, and he could only send out the word "safe".
Bu Yan said, "The reason why the young master didn't reveal his identity and recognize Achen is because he was afraid that Achen would interfere in the Huo Gang's affairs against the Yu family. Given Achen's personality, he would definitely ask to steal the account books himself. My young master doesn't want this to happen. He doesn't want Achen to take risks again."
Jiang Ming's face was expressionless. "I know."
"But you still told Achen many things, deliberately asking her to steal the account book, and you also forbade me to write a letter to tell the young master the news. The young master has always known that the princess had correspondence with the area near Youzhou, so he knew where the account book was. But he didn't expect that the person who was corresponding with the princess was you - Achen's master."
"kindness."
"You are on the princess's side. The Huo Gang is allied with the princess. You should have been the Huo Gang's benefactor and mentor. But you schemed to let Achen take risks, so you are our Huo Gang's enemy."
Without saying a word, he drew his sword and prepared for an attack.
Jiang Ming glanced at the sky. It was almost dusk and there was no time to stay any longer.
He glanced at Bu Yan, threw the key to the cellar door on the ground, and said briefly:
"You talk too much nonsense. Keep an eye on Chen'er until I come back."
After saying that, Jiang Ming tied his leggings, fastened the arm guard with the help of his teeth, cut off the sleeve without the arm with a sword, and headed towards the direction of the Sorrow Bird Island without looking back, leaving Buyan still standing there in a daze.
That was his disciple who grew up under his care, and he couldn't bear to let her risk her life.
Even if he owes something to the Immortal Tomb, he should repay the debt himself.
…
…
An hour later.
Jiang Ming sneaked into the Island of Sorrowful Birds under the cover of night. As soon as he got on the island, he engaged in a battle with the heavily guarded people.
Advance and kill all the way.
Jiang Ming continued to kill with his sword as he rushed towards the residence in the center of Shuidao.
When he rushed into Yu Yangji's bedroom, he saw Yu Yangji sitting on a high seat amidst the numerous mechanisms, holding an exquisite secret box in his hand, looking at him with a forced smile:
"Master Jiang Ming, long time no see. I never thought that a small account book would eventually attract the top expert of the Nan Kingdom, the 'Sword Killing Heavenly Wolf'."
Jiang Ming ignored it completely, just swung his sword, splashing blood, and gently turned his wrist.
At this time, a blood guard in red appeared silently behind Yu Yangji, with a delicate and small key hanging around his neck.
Seeing that the man was missing an arm but was still able to get here unscathed, the blood guard pulled off the key, swallowed it into his mouth, and his expression became sinister.
In front of them are deadly mechanisms and the terrifying Blood Guards; behind them are countless Yu family guards who have rushed over following the sound.
Jiang Mingao stood in the center of the encirclement, snorted contemptuously, drew his sword and flew forward to kill.
On the other side, in the cellar.
Shortly after Jiang Ming left, the effect of Yun Chen's knockout drug gradually wore off.
She rubbed her dizzy head and woke up, sat up, and paused for a moment.
Her vision gradually became clear and the dizziness in her brain eased a little. She stood up with the help of the wall, but her legs and feet were still a little weak.
She slowly walked to the iron gate and called out weakly:
“Master—Master—”
No one responded to her.
Although her strength had not yet recovered, she knew clearly in her heart that Jiang Ming did not want her to take risks, so she changed her mind and went to steal the account book alone.
She was anxious, but had no strength in her hands, so she could only shake the iron door, making it bang, and kept shouting "Master".
After an unknown amount of time, she finally felt some strength in her body.
But there were no tools around to break the door, only a cold copper pot.
She stomped on the pot hard to flatten it, and then tried to twist it into a strip like a twist so that she could pry open the iron bars on the door.
Unexpectedly, the copper pot was flattened and its sharp edge cut her hand. As soon as she twisted it, a big bloody cut immediately appeared on her hand, and she cried out in pain.
Buyan had been hiding nearby. When he heard the sound, he immediately rushed to the iron gate and asked worriedly:
"What's wrong, Achen? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
The moonlight was dim and it was hard to see clearly. Yun Chen looked carefully for a long time before he recognized Bu Yan and shouted happily:
"Brother Buyan? Long time no see! I missed you so much!!"
Bu Yan laughed, "Silly boy!"
Without bothering to exchange pleasantries, Yun Chen was overjoyed and shouted:
"God help me! Brother Buyan, you arrived just in time! Can you please look around to see if there is anything that can break the door? Let me out now! I have something very important to do!"
Bu Yan slowly put away his smile, took two steps back, and looked at Yun Chen with reluctance but determination:
"You can't go. The young master won't allow it."
With just this one sentence, Yun Chen's eyes widened instantly and he understood everything.
"The young master in Danyang City recognized me, right? You've been secretly protecting me, right? Brother Buyan, then you should know that my master went to steal the account books for the princess and the Huo Gang! Master injured his arm! It's impossible! Brother Buyan! Please let me out! I'm going to help Master! I want to save him!!"
No matter how Ren Yunchen shouted, Bu Yan just retreated far away and hid in the leafy tree, never to show up again.
Yun Chen was furious and started to use copper pot pieces to dig at the wall frantically.
But in order to avoid light and retain heat, the cellar was made of glutinous rice red bricks, which were stronger than iron. Her hands were numb from chiseling, and there was only a shallow mark on the wall.
She was so anxious that she was running around like a headless fly. She could almost see Jiang Ming trapped in a sea of blades all alone.
Countless traps and poison powders covered the sky and earth, like a dragnet pressing down;
One after another, the Yu family guards rushed forward, and one after another fell under the Blood-Drinking Sword...
Jiang Ming never frowned from beginning to end, always being the expressionless, cold-blooded killer.
But losing an arm is like losing a tiger's teeth.
After guarding the tomb for twenty years, the former top master of the Nan Kingdom has finally grown old.
Finally, one knife after another hit Jiang Ming.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped it off indifferently, drew his sword again, and rushed towards Yu Yangji.
Yun Chen seemed to have seen Jiang Ming falling in front of her.
She drilled the wall and kicked the iron door like crazy, but nothing worked.
"Brother Buyan... please..."
After struggling until he was exhausted, Yun Chen fell to the ground, his voice filled with tears.
"That's my master, and also my father..."
Yun Chen broke down and burst into tears, and finally heard the sound of the key opening the iron gate.
Buyan stood at the cellar door with a knife in his hand and reached out to pull her up.
"Let's go! I'll go with you!"
