Chapter 380 Rumors are mostly unreliable
Listen and.
Guan Ziheng stared wide-eyed at Lin Lezhi as if he had heard something unbelievable and absurd.
Being stared at like that made Lin Lezhi feel a little flustered, wondering if she had said something wrong, and her curiosity grew even stronger.
Could he be a figure who cannot be mentioned in the martial arts world?
"Wh...what happened..."
"Ling Feihan is undoubtedly a universally acknowledged and unsurpassable hero in the hearts of martial arts practitioners. When I was a child, I often heard my family and those around me talk about his deeds. He roamed the martial arts world alone, and he would take care of anything, no matter how big or small. He was chivalrous, skilled in both medicine and martial arts, and almost everyone praised him. Let me put it this way, your current glory is far inferior to his."
As he spoke, Guan Ziheng asked in bewilderment, "That day, when we returned by boat from Huaifeng Village, didn't General Cheng mention Ling Feihan?"
"I just remembered Qingchuan mentioning Hidden Moon Valley and it reminded me of him," Lin Lezhi said, trying to smooth things over. "Since we're heading to Hidden Moon Valley, and Ling Feihan is the Valley Master's prized student, we should at least know something about him. Who knows, we might be able to use him?"
Lin Lezhi paused and then continued, "Moreover, to judge what kind of person someone is, we can't just listen to what General Cheng says; we also have to hear other people's opinions about him."
After hearing what Lin Lezhi said, Guan Ziheng nodded in agreement, saying, "What you said makes sense."
Done.
Guan Ziheng looked deep in thought, pondering Ling Feihan's character, while Lin Lezhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it was true that Lin Lezhi said those words; he did indeed have these thoughts in mind.
But when he saw Cheng Su off that day and said goodbye to him, something Cheng Su said made him somewhat concerned.
Cheng Su said that regardless of his stance in the future, he could help him once, and that he could send the short knife to the military camp. Cheng Su would know it was his once he saw it.
He told the truth: the dagger did not belong to him, but to Xiao Xu.
After listening, Cheng Su smiled, looked in the direction of Xiao Yihuo, and said this sentence with undisguised admiration and nostalgia in his eyes.
"Xiao Xu's agility is remarkable; he's a promising talent. The two of you combined are very much like Ling Feihan back in the day."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Le and said, "It's alright. Since you are friends, you should always be together. In any case, I knew it was you when I saw this knife."
If he weren't in this world, he would definitely say that Cheng Su had good taste and a discerning eye.
He was more than just remarkable; he was destined to become the ruler of the entire Northern Qi dynasty.
If you follow the right person, you can easily work hard for decades.
but.
Cheng Su happened to mention Ling Feihan when praising Xiao Yihuo, and praised Xiao Yihuo's skills.
Among the people traveling with him, only Cheng Su had actually seen Ling Feihan; the others had only heard about him from rumors. Xiao Yihuo had also said that his martial arts skills were taught to him by his master who had secretly infiltrated the palace.
His master then used the hidden compartment of the wooden box to communicate with Xiao Yihuo, and the same wooden box appeared in the underground chamber of the Xing family.
Could it be...
Is Xiao Yihuo's master Ling Feihan?
The development of the wooden boxes was nearly identical, and Ling Feihan came from Hidden Moon Valley. Based on this, it is highly likely that Hidden Moon Valley is related to the matter they are investigating.
If Xiao Yihuo's master is indeed Ling Feihan, what was his reason for approaching Xiao Yihuo fifteen years ago?
In short.
He doesn't intend to tell anyone else about this until the matter is fully investigated.
especially.
He didn't want Xiao Yihuo to be disappointed or to sow the seeds of doubt.
But given Xiao Yihuo's keen perception, perhaps he had already become suspicious when he saw the same mechanism box in the Xing family's old residence.
Regardless of the truth, that person must have had a purpose in approaching Xiao Yihuo.
Once they entered the Hidden Moon Valley...
Perhaps then we can find the answer.
After hearing Cheng Su's story, he kept it in mind and wanted to find an opportunity to learn more about Ling Feihan. However, the events that happened on the island, Xiao Yihuo's worsening condition, and the need to prepare to deal with Qiao Ying kept him restless and even agitated.
Guan Ziheng had thought it through by now, and said with a slight hesitation in his eyes, "Ling Feihan is indeed respected by the common people and martial arts practitioners, but since he disappeared, he has rarely been mentioned. It is indeed a bit strange."
Guan Ziheng felt a little regretful and had some doubts. He murmured, "Logically speaking, someone like him shouldn't be like this."
"Disappeared without a trace?"
"Yeah, he disappeared... Wait for me to figure it out..."
After saying that, Guan Ziheng counted on his fingers, and finally looked at Lin Lezhi, saying in a somewhat incredulous tone, "It's been thirteen years."
Thirteen years?
Doesn't this coincide with the year the Xing family started having problems?
and.
Because of the defeat of the Yunqiang Kingdom, in order to seek peace, the crown prince of Yunqiang, Nan Rongyi, was sent to Northern Qi as a hostage, which was also the thirteenth year.
Could this be a coincidence?
Noticing the seriousness in Lin Lezhi's expression, Guan Ziheng asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's alright. Does anyone know why he retired?"
Guan Ziheng shook his head and said truthfully, "It's a pity that no one knows. There are many different opinions in the martial arts world about his retirement, but it's all just speculation."
Guan Ziheng paused, then pointed with his finger and continued, "Some say he returned to Hidden Moon Valley and took over as the Valley Master. Others say he found a beautiful woman and retired to the countryside, no longer concerning himself with the affairs of the martial world. Still others maliciously say he died on a war-torn night, crushed by thousands of troops, leaving no trace of his body."
"Oh, right."
Guan Ziheng suddenly remembered something, retracted the three fingers he had extended, and looked at Lin Le, saying, "Rumor has it that Ling Feihan disappeared more than thirteen years ago. It's unclear exactly how many years, but it's known that more than twenty years ago, when he was at the height of his power, he disappeared once, and no one knew where he went. But not long after, he reappeared in the martial world."
“But that’s just a rumor.” Guan Ziheng shook his head and said, “Since it’s just a rumor, I think it’s mostly unreliable, unless… one day I can meet him in person and ask him directly.”
After Guan Ziheng had been talking for so long, Lin Lezhi poured him a cup of tea and raised her eyebrows slightly, saying, "If it's really as the rumors say, that he has returned to the valley to take over as the valley master, then we'll have a chance to see him when we go to Hidden Moon Valley this time."
He then joked, "Who knows, maybe we'll really have another Valley Master's wife?"
Hearing Lin Lezhi say that, Guan Ziheng almost choked when he drank water.
Although Guan Ziheng didn't have high hopes, he still nodded, rolled his eyes slightly, and agreed, "What you said makes sense."
After returning, Qingchuan and Liu Yunhe were not at ease either. It took them a lot of persuasion, almost wearing their lips out, before Xiao Yihuo finally agreed.
The date was set for the early morning of the day after tomorrow. The specifics of how to enter Yunqiang Kingdom safely would be discussed along the way.
The night before departure.
Lin Lezhi and Guan Ziheng packed their luggage. After taking the luggage, Lin Lezhi held the cloth used to wrap the luggage and looked at Guan Ziheng, saying, "I'm going out for a bit."
"Let's leave tomorrow, why go out so late?"
Lin Lezhi said with a smile, "Of course we'll get our clothes back. Why don't you come with me?"
As a result, he was rejected by Guan Ziheng as soon as he finished speaking.
"Forget it, Xiao Xu is a very cold person, I can't get along with him. You should go by yourself. Just the things in our room are enough for me to clean up."
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
"Wait, are you going to take those bugs you caught with you on the way?"
"I don't want it anymore, please release it for me."
After Lin Lezhi left, Guan Ziheng went to tidy up the things on the table.
Upon seeing the straw cages on Lin Lezhi's table, where he kept the insects he had caught, and seeing the insects crawling inside, especially their legs sticking out from the gaps, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
He then covered them with a rag with a slight look of disgust, walked to the window, tore the small cage apart, opened a small crack in the window, quickly threw them out, and then hurriedly closed the window.
Then, a gust of wind arose outside, accompanied by a rustling sound.
