Crystal Coffin of Bodyguard

It was already very late, and there was a drizzle of rain in the sky. Yang Yue and the others were still guarding the cliff. When they saw Guo Xu descending the cliff again, they just exchanged surprised looks and did not stop them.

Zhao Fengzhi was practicing sword again, with blood and hatred on his body, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, as the blade passed by, his murderous aura was rampant.This is the rivers and lakes, everyone has everyone's enmity and hatred, and the violence is lurking around him, which lasts for a long time.

The young master of the abandoned garden was still sitting in front of the stone table, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, bowing his head lightly, a few strands of black hair slid down from behind his ears, brushing his cheek quietly, this scene looked extremely gentle and beautiful.

She is really a rare and beautiful woman, what kind of hatred does she harbor to turn against Feng Ziyao's mother and daughter?The interlocking battles, the life-and-death calculations, when will it end?

Guo Xu smiled. At this moment, he was the only one in the calmest mood, neither worried, angry, nor happy. It was like the quietest pool of water, where even a stone would not stir up ripples.

I remember that he asked the young master of the abandoned garden before: "Then, can Guo be understood as the girl is a friend rather than an enemy?"

At that time she replied to him: "Now I can't find a reason to be an enemy of you, and it will be difficult to say in the future."

Guo Xu really wanted to say to her: I would like to be friends with the girl for a long time, and smile away all grievances and enmities.

Between the two, where is there any great hatred?

At this moment, he sees her as kind, quiet and gentle, and he is willing to sit quietly with her and chat about anything, it's not about love, he just hopes that there will be no troubles in the world, just be quiet.

The drizzle was falling densely, and the sound of rustling and rain hitting the leaves came from my ears. The sky and the earth were filled with such fine, dense and full sounds, as if there was no one else.

No one invited him, he sat straightening his clothes opposite the young master of the waste garden, Zhao Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, seeing that the young master of the waste garden was not different, he quietly retreated and changed to a place farther away to practice the saber.

Guo Xu smiled faintly: "How long did Cui Ting live?"

The young master of the waste garden paused for a while, and slowly raised his head to look at him: "Guo Xu, you are much smarter than I thought."

"How long did she live?"

"Seven hours."

The instant pain pierced into the heart and lungs like dense needles, and Guo Xu's eyes were covered with mist, but there was still a smile on the corner of his lips: "Seven hours."

It turned out that the lover he thought he had lost forever had lived under the same bright sunlight as him for another seven hours.

"Didn't it say that the crystal coffin can live and die, flesh and bones?" Knowing that there was no hope, he couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Where in this world is there really such a thing as resurrection?" The young master of the ruined garden smiled faintly, "Cui Ting's ability to live for another seven hours is also due to her good fortune. The true qi of the heavenly qi collided endlessly in her body, causing her to die after death. There was no rigor within twelve hours, if it wasn't for this true energy, even with my internal strength and the effect of the crystal coffin, she wouldn't be able to survive."

Guo Xu nodded slightly: "Seven hours is enough to conclude a deal."

"Yes." The young master of the ruined garden did not deny, "I have no friendship with Cui Ting, so there is no need to take risks to save her. The reason why I did this is for the martial arts of the heavenly qi and the treasure of Prince Yao. Guo Xu, in this world, With unique martial arts and inexhaustible treasures, you can be called invincible, right?"

There was unostentatious smugness in her smile.

She is so young and beautiful, and already has a pair of overturning hands, she is really worthy of being proud of herself.

"What else did you say?" Guo Xu's voice was very calm, "Seven hours is enough to do a lot of things."

"Yeah..." The young master of the abandoned garden sighed softly, as if he had returned to the time two years ago, "She had a lot to say, and she said a lot about you, such as sweet-scented osmanthus tea, rouge peach blossom brew, and the heart-broken sword in the wind and rain. , Kuaijian Xinli, Shi Xiucai, Cheng Caiyu, Cheng Tieyi..."

"Always talking?"

"Been talking."

"You've been listening?"

"Listen all the time. She only has seven hours. No matter how bad-hearted a person is, he shouldn't compete with her for this time."

Guo Xu smiled, and finally said lightly: "Thank you."

"It's just a hands-on effort."

The sound of the rain was getting thicker, the clothes and hair were soaked, and the rainwater on the stone table gradually pooled in one place, but the two of them were still sitting quietly, neither of them had the intention of moving first.

"Cui Ting's body is still there?"

"exist."

"I remember when we met for the first time, you told me that you wanted to make a deal with the Escort, and that you would be able to offer me a satisfactory price. You mean Cui Ting's body?"

The young master of the abandoned garden lowered his eyes slightly: "That's right. But when you say it like this, I suddenly feel that it's not so kind to trade a dead person."

"I don't care if you are honest or not, but I know that I am very grateful to you for saving Cui Ting's body." Guo Xu looked at the young master of the waste garden, "If you don't mind, this deal is still valid, and I am willing to take Jingfeng's body." I will exchange Cui Ting's body with you for the sword manual of Mi Yu's Heartbroken Sword and the martial arts on Jade Doll."

While speaking, he took out the oilcloth bag that contained the sword manual of Jing Feng Mi Yu's heart-broken sword: "I always carry the sword manual of Jing Feng Mi Yu's heart-broken sword with me, but the jade doll's kung fu will have to wait until I return to Beijing." Ask my friend Deng Ren for it."

The young master of the abandoned garden glanced at the cloth bag, but did not reach out to pick it up: "Cui Ting's body is inside the purple copper gate of the abandoned garden in Nanchang. When you arrive in Nanchang, just pick her up."

Guo Xu had no choice but to take back the cloth bag, and was silent for a long while. There was no reason to stay any longer. When he got up to say something, he suddenly remembered something: "I haven't asked the girl's name yet."

"name?"

"Yes, we have been fighting for a long time, I only know that the girl is the young master of the abandoned garden."

The young master of the waste garden smiled, but slowly, her smile turned into a sneer again.

"Why do you think Feng Ziyao will give me a name?" Her eyes gradually returned to their usual coldness, "I never had a name."

Guo Xu felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

The tranquility of the peaceful conversation just now was swept away by the sudden gust of wind on the ground.

When he turned around, he was still facing the rivers and lakes with violent winds, high waves, and bloody storms.

————————————————————

It was already late at night when we returned to Jianglongzhai. Except for Duan Lingluo, everyone was awake and waiting for him in his room.

Guo Xu originally wanted to say something to reassure everyone, but his eyes were attracted by the pigeon cage on the table. Since Caiyu released the pigeons a few days ago, the pigeon cage has been empty.

Now, there is an extra pigeon in the empty pigeon coop. Its white feathers are dirty from the mud and rain.

"Prince Xiao Peng has a reply? What do you say?"

Cheng Tieyi hated: "This old fox Weng Taibei, Duan Lingluo, and Duan Wanli, who resigned from office and returned to his hometown, are nothing at all!"

Although he had already guessed this section, but now that it was confirmed, Guo Xu still couldn't help but smile wryly.

"In other words, Weng Taibei participated in the whole puzzle from beginning to end?"

He secretly protected Duan Lingluo, provided Duan Lingluo with various conveniences, and did not hesitate to drag Changfeng Escort into trouble.

Guo Xu knew a little bit about Weng Taibei, so it was hard to say that he deliberately fell into trouble because he had a grudge against the Changfeng Escort—the Changfeng Escort was not so capable that he had to spend a lot of thought on it. The only reasonable explanation is: there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends. For the ultimate benefit, that is, Prince Yao's treasure, he can choose to cooperate with Duan Lingluo or Feng Ziyao, even if it means sacrificing the Changfeng Escort .

His reasons are high-sounding, he is not for himself, but for the emperor to share the worries, no matter what means he uses, as long as he gets this treasure, the flood of the Yellow River, the displaced victims, the border residents invaded by Japanese pirates... all worries are equal to With a solution, he is the most sincere courtier, sharing the emperor's worries, and finally, he can maintain long-term prosperity and wealth.

What the young master of the waste garden said is right, the prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle for profit, that's all.
