Sword comes

Chen Ping'an once again saw the girl in Tsing Yi, who was silently following behind a middle-aged man, nibbling on a scallion egg pancake with her head down.

The man looked unlovable.

After seeing Chen Pingan, the man stopped and asked, "Are you the guy I drove away last time?"

The man's back was knocked heavily, and the girl in Tsing Yi who hit the "wall" raised her head with a dazed look, and suddenly saw Chen Ping'an, she was about to laugh, but suddenly turned her back to Chen Ping'an, and the girl hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth.

Chen Pingan restrained his smile, nodded to the man and said, "Hello, Master Ruan."

It seemed that the girl was probably Master Ruan's daughter.

But the looks of the father and daughter are really similar, and fortunately they do not.

The man Chen Ping'an called Master Ruan was the blacksmith who moved to the south side of the small stream not long after he arrived in the town. He continued to ask, "Why didn't Liu Xianyang strike for the past two days?"

Just as Chen Ping'an was about to explain to Liu Xianyang, the man said coldly, "Go and tell that boy, if you don't see his uncle's face again today, you won't have to go to my shop tomorrow."

Chen Pingan hurriedly said: "Master Ruan, something urgent happened at his home..."

The man interrupted the boy and said rudely, "That's his business, not my business?!"

Chen Ping'an was not a person who was good at words. He was stunned on the spot, his face flushed with anxiety, and he didn't know how to speak, for fear that he would be doing a disservice.Master Ruan's straightforward temper, he has personally experienced it.

The girl in Tsing Yi tried to say something nice to Chen Ping'an, but was taught a lesson in advance by a man who knew her daughter Mo Ruofu: "Eat your cake!"

The girl who was full of grievances suddenly quickened her pace, stepped on the man's instep, and then the wind was blowing under her feet, and she disappeared in an instant.

The man sighed, put Chen Pingan aside, and moved on.

Chen Ping'an also sighed, ran to the early shop to buy a basket of six buns, and rushed to Mud Bottle Alley.

When he arrived at his house, he saw Liu Xianyang squatting on the top of the wall, half of his body leaning towards Song Jixin's yard, eavesdropping attentively.

Chen Ping'an also sometimes felt that Liu Xianyang was indeed quite rude.

He had to remind: "I saw Master Ruan just now, and asked you to go to the blacksmith shop to help today, and said that if I didn't see you today, I would dismiss you."

Liu Xianyang absentmindedly said, "What's the hurry, an apprentice like me who is quick-witted and hard-working is hard to find even with a lantern. If Master Ruan is ruthless, it doesn't matter if he goes again tomorrow."

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I'm sure Master Ruan is definitely not joking."

Liu Xianyang said irritably, "I'll go later, don't delay my work."

Chen Ping'an brought breakfast to the black-clothed girl, and directly took three for Liu Xianyang, and he only bit one.

Liu Xianyang took care of all the meat buns in two or three strokes, and whispered while wiping his mouth: "Just now there was a guest from Song Jixin's family. He is a big man who can be seen at first glance. If I read correctly, he should be the current official kiln. Lord Supervisor, that time when he wore an official uniform to our Dragon Kiln, old man Yao thought you bunch of incompetent apprentices were an eyesore, so he didn't let you show up to gain insight. A grown-up demonstrate what a 'jump-knife' is."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "The new inspector takes care of Song Jixin. It's something everyone in the town knows. What are you doing here with suspicion?"

Liu Xianyang said worriedly: "Song Jixin's little white face can never compete with me, but if Zhigui falls in love with this extraordinary official, my chances of winning are not great! Then your future sister-in-law will be with you. People run away, what should I do? What should you do?"

Chen Pingan walked directly back to the house.

Leaving Liu Xianyang squatting on the wall and feeling sorry for himself.

The black-clothed girl sat at the table with her waist straight, holding the hilt of the knife in one hand, as if she was facing a great enemy.

Sweat oozes from her forehead.

This is the first time Chen Pingan has seen a girl with such an expression. Although her body is tense and alert, her eyes are bright and eager to try.

Chen Pingan returned to the threshold, and she asked, "Do you know the identity of the guest next door?"

Chen Ping'an replied: "I heard Liu Xianyang say that he is the current kiln supervisor in our town. He is very friendly. He was at the alley just now and gave way to me."

The girl sneered: "This kind of talent is terrible."

Chen Pingan was puzzled.

She asked, "Would people step on a foot when they saw an ant while walking on the side of the road?"

Chen Pingan thought about it and replied, "Gu Can definitely does. He often uses water to water the ant nest, or blocks the way out of the ant nest with stones. When Liu Xianyang is in a bad mood, he probably will."

The girl in black was speechless.

Chen Pingan grinned, "In fact, I understand what Miss Ning means."

She was surprised: "Really?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "I think girl, you mean two things. One means the people of our town. In the eyes of you outsiders, they are all ants crawling around on the soles of their feet. The second means among outsiders. , and it is divided into high and low, Fu Nanhua Cai Jinjian is a child like Gu Can, and it will be interesting to master the life and death of ants, or it will be annoying, but the official who came to our Mud Bottle Alley is different. He talks and does things differently. , will match his identity, so he is very polite. Miss Ning, right?"

The girl asked, "How did you figure it out?"

The young man joked and replied, "After returning from his life, it seems that his mind has become a little brighter."

The girl in black asked solemnly, "What did you see before you died?"

"I didn't see anything." Chen Pingan was a little puzzled, but he still answered honestly: "Actually, I didn't think much about that alley from beginning to end. It's better for Miss Ning to ask Fu Nanhua and Cai Jinjian about this question. , they might see something."

She snorted coldly: "Yo, what a big tone!"

After saying this, she had no reason to stare at the boy with straw sandals.

Chen Ping'an was flustered, "What's wrong?"

The girl frowned, a little annoyed, and said to herself in the dialect of her hometown: "My family's swordsmanship, whether it is the technique of swordsmanship, or the method used to temper the body and soul, is a unique secret that is not taught. , I haven't learned everything, how dare I teach others. And I haven't learned the superficial things in other places, otherwise I can give him a clear way, even if it is only used to strengthen the body and prolong life. Where can I find this entry-level cheat book with the lowest threshold?"

The girl's eyes lit up, "Robbery? No, no, it's not a robbery, it's to find someone to borrow a cheat book. If you borrow it, you can return it."

Unfortunately, she quickly turned gloomy and said bitterly: "Damn old eunuch! Wait for me, and see if I don't turn your palace upside down."

With a sad face, she said sadly, "Could it be that I can only go to the swordsmith surnamed Ruan? I can make do with killing people. I have four or five points of my mother's true inheritance, but I'm really not good at asking for help."

The boy with straw sandals sat on the threshold, looking at the girl named Ning Yao, she was talking to herself, her face was changing, like a cloud in the sky.

----

The handsome man in the white robe and jade belt stood in Song Jixin's room, looked around, frowned slightly, "Did he arrange such a shabby place for you with the surname Song?"

Song Jixin pursed his lips and did not speak.

The maid, Zhigui, has long since hid in her side room.

According to the most widely circulated statement in the town, the former inspector, Mr. Song, was not skilled in his business and failed to create a royal tribute porcelain that satisfied the court. With that little hard work, he left a covered bridge and returned to Beijing to take up his post. Of course, Song Jixin, an illegitimate son, was also left, and he only bought him a personal maid to take care of his daily life, and then "entrusted the orphan" to his friend, that is, the new superintendent who took his place. I heard that his surname was Song.

But what the truth is, the authorities are fascinated, and bystanders may not know.

Song Jixin himself didn't know what the relationship between this guy and the man surnamed Song was, a colleague in the officialdom who was inseparable?Classmates and friends who were studying in the past?Or the opponents of other hilltop factions in the temples of the capital?Before the surnamed Song left, he mentioned a few words, saying that after the new inspector arrives in the town, he will soon take their master and servant two out of the town and rush to the capital. To the adult, he asked Song Jixing to pay Extremely respectful, without the slightest negligence.

Song Jixin didn't have the slightest sympathy for the man in front of him in the capital, probably because he hated Wu Jiwu.

The confidence he showed on the side of his handmaid Zhigui, and the calmness of leaving his hometown next, was just a result of the young man's self-esteem.

The man smiled and said, "Forget it, the sour scholar surnamed Song has always been a cautious character. He's not like a big man, but a bitch. Otherwise, he wouldn't be allowed to come here to look after you."

Song Jixin's eyebrows were gloomy.

The man casually glanced at the large box where the young man was storing his belongings, pouted his lips, looked dismissive, and said slowly: "Before I came here, I have already met Fu Nanhua of the old Longcheng. He is really unlucky, and he will almost be here. Dao heart is broken, your business with him will continue as usual, you are self-sufficient, and I will not get involved in this rubbish thing the size of sesame and mung bean. But before you leave, you must go to the covered bridge with me and knock a few times. You will have nothing to do with you after that, go home with me, do what you should do, sit in the seat you should sit in, and do your duty, it's that simple, do you understand?"

"Of course I understand. Master Song's words are not obscure."

The boy sneered, "Just why?"

The man smiled, turned to face the boy for the first time, and asked back: "The sissy surnamed Song said that you are extremely talented, and this evaluation is really not afraid of flashing her tongue. You might as well guess, why do you think I am?"

If you look closely, you will find that there are some similarities between the two.

Song Jixin was even more angry, but he never let it out.

The man no longer sells off, and plays with his taste: "Why? Of course, because this king is a big unlucky child, he will be your uncle's uncle."

Song Jixin was shocked and his face paled.

The white-robed man turned a blind eye to this, held the jade belt with both hands, looked at the sky outside the window, and said with a smile: "It's also because I am the No. 1 martial arts of the Dali Dynasty."

In fact, this sentence is replaced by another statement, which is even more shocking, but a man would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and feel that as long as he is behind others, even if it is only one or two people behind, it is not worth promoting at all.

The man thought of the Confucian saint sitting here, his mouth was full of contempt, and he snorted coldly.

He was thinking.

If it weren't for this world, Lao Tzu would be able to slaughter the immortals of the three religions like Qi Jingchun with one hand.

----

Inside the thatched hut of the school, Mr. Qi was listening to the sounds of the Mongolian school children's books.

Sit upright.

In the true sense of sitting upright, it is difficult for Song Jixin and Zhao Yao, the seeds of reading, to appreciate its essence.

In Confucianism, there is a classic of "establishing a religion and opening a sect", called "The Great Rites", in which "Self-cultivation" has a special mention that a gentleman should sit like a corpse, because the corpse is an idol, sitting like a corpse, it is solemn and solemn, one can imagine And know.

At this moment, Qi Jingchun seemed to have heard the white-robed man's thoughts silently in his heart, and said with a light smile, "Wufu is in charge of the country, it's incredible. However, the white dragon fish suit is not a good omen. "
