Yu Jin said, "That waterway is really good, but the surrounding environment is a little troublesome, so I thought of using the power of Wulin people, and the only person in Wulin I know is you, the owner of Dugu Village." Speaking of In the end, he returned to his usual appearance, with a sad posture, and his eyes turned red in a blink of an eye.
"This matter..." Ao Qi tapped the table twice with his index finger and middle finger, and didn't speak any more, as if he was seriously thinking about Mu Xiuqi's proposal, and Mu Xiuqi also held his breath following Ao Qi's pause Breathing, quietly waiting for Aoqi's answer, facing Aoqi, the conditions he thinks he can put forward should be enough.
Mu Xiuqi looked at Aoqi almost without blinking, as if possessed, he didn't even know how much time had passed.
The candle flame swayed a bit because of the too long wick, and at this time Ao Qi finally had the intention to open his mouth.
Mu Xiuqi felt that his heart had jumped to his throat.
There was a "click", I don't know what it was, although it was not loud, it interrupted what Ao Qi was about to say, and woke Mu Xiuqi up.When he looked at Ao Qi again, the other party had already walked up to Qi Ao, bent down and picked up the book that fell at Qi Ao's feet, put it on the table, and picked it up again. Qi Ao, who fell asleep unconscious, put his head on the bed, and then walked back to Mu Xiuqi's side.
Mu Xiuqi followed Aoqi around the room with his eyes, and returned to the place where Aoqi sat at the beginning: "So what do you think about this matter?" But at this moment he was already a little uncertain whether Aoqi would be there. Answered at this time.
"I agree." Ao Qi lowered his voice, as if the moonlight had been soaked in fine wine, and the place where the silver was sprinkled was also full of drunkenness. For a moment, people would ignore what he said, "If there is nothing wrong Please come back."
Mu Xiuqi blinked slowly, and suddenly jumped up like a rabbit. He left the room in three steps at a time, remembering to help close the door.At this time, he naturally has no time to worry about whether Qi Ao will sleep back in his own room, or whether Ao Qi will change rooms.
Ao Qi walked back to the bed, Qi Ao was looking at the top of the bed with his eyes open, when he heard his footsteps Qi Ao turned his eyes and glanced at Ao Qi, then put his eyes on the top of the bed again, muttering What.Ao Qi bent down to hear clearly, but couldn't help laughing just after hearing a sentence.
Qi Ao quickly sat up and glanced at Ao Qi in horror. Seeing that Ao Qi was not surprised, he lay down and continued to mutter: "I am a frail scholar who fell asleep because he didn't understand the business classics, felt bored and didn't understand anything."
Having laughed enough, Ao Qi resumed his usual expression, hooked Qi Ao's hair and lay down side by side with Ao Qi: "What do you think of Mu Xiuqi's proposal?"
"You haven't already made up your mind." Qi Ao's voice was a little tired and vague, but Ao Qi could understand that it was Qi Ao's affirmation to him, even though this time the situation happened suddenly and they couldn't get along at all. Discussion, presumably Qi Ao thought the same way.
At this point, Ao Qi closed his eyes with peace of mind, listening to the intertwined and harmonious breathing of the other two, the next thing just needs to be handed over to Qi Ao as before, and he even looks forward to enjoying another show directed by Qi Ao new game.
☆, close to the countryside
The landscape outside the car is already familiar to them. In the cold wind, the brown and yellow leaves hang on the branches and tremble. It is the time when all things sleep, but not all of them will wake up with a new look in the coming year. Some of them cannot survive the snow and frost of winter, and this will be their last and eternal sleep.
For Qiao, spring sleepiness, summer fatigue, autumn nap, and hibernation, so whether it is winter or not has little to do with his mental state.He closed the window and yawned, Qi Ao wrapped the fox fur around his body like a brocade quilt, lay on the couch and swayed slightly with the bumps of the carriage, his gaze followed up and down, and finally settled on the line of Ao Qi's jaw, After watching for a long time, the line of sight slowly faded away, and after a while, only gentle breathing remained.
The carriage seemed to run over a small rock, and just as Qi Ao slid down a little, Ao Qi protected his head and lay back on his lap again.Ao Qi finished processing the document in his hand, then lowered his head to look at Qi Ao, most of Qi Ao's face was buried in the fox fur, even his nose was covered by him, only the eyes were exposed, half asleep Half awake probably sensed someone's gaze, Qi'ao's first reaction was to open his eyes, his eyes still hazy, seeing Ao Qi and leaving Ao Qi with a pair of crescent moons.
Ao Qi waited for Qi Ao to really fall asleep, and stretched out his hand to tuck Qi Ao's fox fur. There was still a thick stack of documents on the table that he had to finish before sunset. Fortunately, he was used to these things, and these things were considered handy. , and there is no problem, but he still needs to have an understanding of every aspect.
In winter, the sun sets early, and the carriage gets dark before you know it. Jingnv came in to light up the lights during a break and then went out. At this time, Ao Qi had just finished reading the last letter in his hand. He pushed He opened the pane and turned his head to look out, trying not to move his body.The road has become very wide, and the trees on both sides are not as uneven as in the wild. Sure enough, Wu Cheng soon heard the announcement from the outer cabinet that he was about to reach a town in front of him.
Ao Qi seized the time to wake up Qi Ao, Qi Ao had almost slept all the way, and when he entered the town, he should go directly to find a place to have dinner, eating just after waking up is not good for people with weak stomachs, especially during this period of time Qi Ao's physical condition is very important, Ao Qi is extremely careful.
According to the final result of the discussion between Aoqi and Mu Xiuqi, Mu Xiuqi and Ruan Meier separated from them at the last stop. According to Mu Xiuqi, he needs to go back and explain this matter to his father in advance, hoping to make up for it. However, to avoid the fault of his failure to accomplish anything in West Mexico, and the affairs of the waterway will be presided over by him, so there will be a lot more things to do. At that time, all problems will be contacted through pigeons, and it will naturally be another battle before leaving. Say goodbye.
Before driving into the city gate, the smell of food wafted into the carriage. Qi Ao was drinking Musha soup, smelling the aroma, he couldn't help but put down the bowl.
He showed an expectant smile: "Did you arrive in Shiqian Town?"
Shiqian Town is a small town. After so many years of development, it still maintains a small appearance, even though the inside has changed from simple and peaceful to full of traffic and traffic.The reason why it became so prosperous is that it is located at the intersection of two avenues. It is a transportation hub in the southwest, from which it can connect north and south, east and west, and extend in all directions. When Qi Ao and the others entered I chose another route when I was in West Mexico, and I didn't return the same way when I came back, so I ended up here this night.
Although Shiqian Town is only a small town, it has a great reputation, and many businessmen and tourists have passed by since then.Since ancient times, such a transportation hub has the characteristics of more people, more horses, more goods, and eventually became a major commercial town, but it unexpectedly did not develop into a commercial town.The reason why it is widely known is because of its delicacies. The delicacies from the hometown brought by merchants from all over the world are gathered here, and Shiqian Town has gradually gained the reputation of "Thousand Food Town".
And stepping here also means getting closer to Cang Kingdom.
Every step they take is actually getting closer to Cangguo, but in the two years since they left Cangguo, neither Qi Ao nor Aoqi has ever been shyer than the so-called closeness to hometown.
The timid, or because of people, or because of things, or because things are right and wrong, or just a mere green willow branch that has been broken last spring and swallows will not return today, it may even be a flower at the bridgehead, a piece of blue tiles under the sunset , Those precious things that I once owned, but because of various reasons, I had to abandon them when I left my hometown, and then I suddenly realized the beauty of them, which can most arouse the timidity in my heart.
And all of this has nothing to do with Yu Aoqi and Yu Qiao.
The inn they stayed at this time was not the largest and tallest inn in the town, but a small shop by the busiest street in the town. Although small, the layout was clean and interesting, and they gave some money to the waitresses in the shop. It can help you buy street snacks and deliver them to your room. First, you don’t have to squeeze in the crowd to get your clothes dirty. Second, you don’t have to spend time looking for them when you know which one is authentic and which one is delicious.
Weiming, who was beside Aoqi, came to the inn early to make arrangements, and when Qiao and the others entered the room, the small dishes and bowls on the table were still warm.The jujube cake is sweet and smooth with glutinous buttermilk, and the rice soup is refreshing and fried meat appetizers. There are only two or three points of each, which is just enough to taste the taste and avoid food congestion.
Even though this is fine, and Qi Ao always likes light and sweet food, this time he almost got full, if Ao Qi didn't see the time to recycle the spicy oil, Qi Ao could eat more.
Qi Ao, who was full after eating and drinking, finally smelled the smell of all kinds of food stained on his clothes. He pulled his sleeves and sniffed, and his nose was a little choked by the strong smell. A hot fire, together with the last cup of Sandong brew, made his whole body feel a little hot.In the early winter, the local room did not have the habit of heating. He even took off his fur coat and heavy cocoons in a daze. There seemed to be strange reprimands in his ears. He rubbed his arms and wore only a thin coat. Sitting at the table in the jacketed robe, I don't know what to think.
When his bout of alcohol passed, he found himself sitting naked in the bathtub. The temperature of the water in the bathtub was just right, reaching up to his shoulders. The blood-red traces on his shoulders were imprinted in the clear water, which was extremely vivid. .There are burning braziers around the bathtub, and the screen keeps out the cold wind at the door. His original suit of clothes has been thrown away somewhere, and Ao Qi has disappeared.
When waking up, the body suddenly reacted with oily and spicy food, mixed with the sultry air, the food seemed to be dancing in Qiao's stomach, and the greasy taste was not only in the stomach Lingering, I felt the residue in my mouth and throat, and it was getting thicker and thicker, as if what he just ate was not a few pieces of fried meat, but a full cup of oil.
Qi'ao searched for a long time but couldn't find any new clothes, he hesitated between the choice of getting out of the bathtub naked.
Stomach acid kept rushing upwards, and even his throat could already feel the sour taste. Qi Ao had to cover his mouth. He sat cross-legged in the bathtub, lowered his head and calmed down for two seconds, and then called out a person's name: "Ao Qi."
A figure flashed out from behind the screen, carrying a set of warmed underwear, standing by the screen watching Qi Ao not speak, just a little more than an arm's length away from Qi Ao.
Sitting in the bathtub, Qi Ao couldn't laugh or cry: "Give me my clothes quickly."
Ao Qi simply folded his hands and leaned against the screen, his dissatisfaction with Qi Ao's perfunctory attitude was written on his brows.
Qi Ao flopped around in the bathtub twice, reaching out his hand against the wall of the bathtub to reach the edge of the clothes hanging down, but unfortunately he was a little short of everything, so he had to admit his mistake: "I was wrong, I know I was wrong." He raised his hand He kept looking at Aoqi's expression, admitting his mistake, and at the same time mixed a few words "give me clothes".
However, this kind of confession was not forgiven by Aoqi, he just stood there, it was rare that he didn't take a step back from Shangqiao's begging for mercy.The water in winter is easy to get cold, even if the brazier around it can't stop the speed of temperature drop, coupled with Qi'ao's non-stop movements, although standing still, Ao Qi, who didn't look away, frowned several times It was all covered up by him.
Qi Ao finally stopped, and he confronted Ao Qi, bearing Ao Qi's anger and at the same time suppressing the feeling of nausea again, in the end he slumped his shoulders first, wiped away the joking expression and solemnly promised: " I will stop making trouble, and I will never overeat like this again in the future." He fiddled with the surface of the water, lowered his eyes and muttered, "The water is getting cold." It's okay if you don't say it, Qi Ao just finished saying this He felt that the cold air in the water came from all directions to envelop him, seeping into his blood along his skin, and he shivered unconsciously.
In the blink of an eye, Qiao was already sitting on the bed wrapped in a blanket.
Stepping on the soft quilt, Qi Ao realized that his feet had become as cold as a piece of ice again. He stretched his feet, thinking that he would try to hold Ao Qi next time, obviously he had almost the same figure, Every time Ao Qi hugs him, it's like hugging a cloud.
Ao Qi threw another dry towel to Qi Ao, turned around and went to take a bath, leaving Qi Ao to wipe his hair with the towel, he was not too skillful to wrap up his hair, I wonder if it was because the food was still rolling in his stomach Seeing that, Qi Ao didn't lie down immediately, sitting on the bed looked a little unexpectedly innocent.
When Ao Qi came out wiping his hair, he saw Qi Ao like this, with a misty look on his face, which deceived many people.
Going over to untie the towel on his head, Ao Qi stretched out his hand to touch it, but the root of his hair was still wet, and after wrapping it for so long, layers of cold moisture filled his hair, Ao Qi's face also became icy cold at that time .Even though Ao Qi had a cold face, he still used his internal energy to help Qi Ao dry his hair, which is funny to say, this is probably the biggest effect of his strong internal energy in front of Qi Ao.
Thinking of this, and seeing Qi Ao obediently drink up the medicine for digestion clear oil without saying a word, Ao Qi's face turned up several times.After finishing everything, Ao Qi counted the time and shook his head, then imitated Qi Ao's posture and sat cross-legged on the bed to face Qi Ao, looking like they were looking in a mirror.
It is not suitable to think too much when digesting food. Ao Qi and Qi Ao picked up the chess game that had not been completed because of Mu Xiuqi's interruption, and they didn't use a chess board. It was a draw.
Qi Ao drew a conclusion under the quilt: "Actually, playing chess with you is meaningless."
The chess moves of the two of them are very clear to each other, and they can predict each other's next moves. This is not simply taking one step and thinking about ten moves. If you want to think about what the other side is going to do, if the other side guesses When the time comes, how do you eat it back, or what if the other party has figured out that he has already planned to make a feint and then falls to the beginning.
Ao Qi also nodded, and then let in Zi Ye who was lying on the window and beeping several times.
Ziye submitted several letters. Although the handwriting was different, the names were neatly written on them, one by one, Huayou, Gewu, Ning Ziyun, Lian Zhuangzhu, Xun Gufeng...these The name of the deceased is mixed with the wind and rain of the rivers and lakes, sweeping in.
☆, get together
The new year is approaching, and there will be no snow in the winter in the south. There are only large areas of gray clouds piled up in the sky, which are swept away by the icy cold wind. Unlike the dryness and low temperature in the north, the winter in the south is wet and cold. It's cold, and the cold air will seep in from every pore of your body, even if you wrap yourself in several layers of cotton jackets and hug the stove, it won't help.
The sky was rarely clear on this day, and Ning Ziyun was basking in the garden dressed like a ball.Although it is Chinese New Year, the sect is still deserted, and no one has mentioned this matter. This is the custom of the Shuijing Sword Sect. There are so many entry-level sects who grew up in the sect. Although Ning Ziyun is already familiar with it, he still Did not adapt.
Probably because in recent years, Su Cha would take time to meet him before the new year, bring him some interesting gadgets, and then ask the head's permission to take him for a stroll around the town to experience the New Year's Eve lively.However, this year was different. Two days ago, Ning Ziyun received a message from Su Cha, telling him that he might not be able to accompany him this year.
Not only during the Chinese New Year, Su Cha's time to play with him has gradually decreased over the past year, and he also vaguely heard some news - the head of the Fuyi School seems to have the idea of retiring, and he hopes that Su Cha can Become a qualified head as soon as possible, take over the sect from him and carry it forward, so he transferred the internal affairs of the sect to Su Cha's hands bit by bit.After all, he is not becoming an immortal and cultivating Taoism. The head of the sect needs to manage the food and clothing expenses of the entire sect, and it is even more busy at the end of the year. Even so, Sucha still misses Ning Ziyun when he gets empty, and the news becomes more frequent.
Ning Ziyun was not unhappy. He knew better than others who Su Cha was and what his character was - a mature and stable personality beyond his age, a well-organized and methodical handling of affairs, and a new generation of sects. A model among disciples.
Su Cha like this made him happy and proud.
He is just...
Not used to it.
This year Su Cha was not around, and the Shuijingjian Sect had always demanded not to be pleased with things or to be saddened by others, and human feelings were as indifferent as water, so they didn't take these festivals to heart, and there was no New Year's atmosphere in the school.Ning Ziyun shuddered, the sun hid in the clouds, and the little light left on his body did not bring him warmth, but the cold wind kept drilling into his clothes, and he shivered , wrapped the neckline a little tighter, and couldn't help but sighed.
In the past, he never cared about the number of people during the Chinese New Year, but since the past two years, he has become more and more aware of what it means to be alone.
A figure suddenly appeared behind him. Just as he was about to reach out to pat Ning Ziyun on the shoulder, Ning Ziyun's sword was held around his neck.
In the blink of an eye, the small cotton ball just now became much sharper.
However, this momentum didn't last long. After seeing who was coming, Ning Ziyun shyly put down his sword and smiled embarrassingly: "So it's you."
Ning Ziyun was already very familiar with this person.Even though he left Ao Qi and Qi Ao, the contact with them has never been broken. From the letter Qi Ao wrote to him, he knew that they set off from Cangguo in order to catch the real murderer and clear the evidence for the benefactor. Arrived in West Mexico, and stayed there for more than two years.
As if aware of Ning Ziyun's worry about them, Qi'ao explained their itinerary very clearly in the letter, other than that, he never gave any extra instructions, and Ning Ziyun never mentioned this matter to anyone. thing.Although he was very distressed, he burned every letter after he read it-he really wanted to find a place to store it, and he could read it many times carefully, but as long as he thought of even a tiny bit With the possibility of being discovered, he didn't dare to keep the letter for a moment longer.
Therefore, every time he reads the letter, he will deal with the letter, and then recite the letter silently in his heart and go to practice sword happily, as if he is being urged by a benefactor and son. He is very different, and his swordsmanship has also improved rapidly.
These letters were delivered to him by the person in front of him.He still remembered the excitement and joy when he got the letter for the first time, and he even forgot to ask when this person entered their sect and why he was always lurking in the resting place of the disciples.
Qi Ao's letter to him does not have a fixed time, sometimes the interval is short, sometimes he has to wait for a long time, Ning Ziyun imagines what Qi Ao and the others are busy with according to the length of the interval.Today's letter has been two or three months since the last one. This unexpected surprise was like sunlight piercing the dark clouds, bringing some warmth to Ning Ziyun, and Ning Ziyun accepted it with great joy. The envelope, said thank you to the man, and then couldn't wait to open the envelope.
After reading the first sentence, Ning Ziyun covered his mouth and tried his best to suppress the screaming in his throat so as not to invite Master and others.
"We've arrived at Chuliu. Seven days later, old friends in Jingshan Town will have a gathering. There will be a red stove without snow, and green wine without flowers."
Ning Ziyun blinked, tears streaming down her eyes.
Ning Ziyun tentatively mentioned to the head that he wanted to go down the mountain, but as expected, he was ruthlessly rejected by the head without Su Cha. Ning Ziyun pursed his lips, turned around and went back to the room to summon the messenger. In the end, as Qi Ao said in his letter, it was up to him to help him go down the mountain to meet.
The man escorted him to the door of the reserved room and left, leaving him alone at the door, breathing deeply and restless.Wiping the sweat from his hands on the sides of his trousers, Ning Ziyun let out a breath, then pushed open the closed door in front of him expectantly.
Almost instinctively, he turned his head to the side, but a fiery scar was left on his cheek. The weapon that hurt him flew past his face and was quickly retracted. Ning Ziyun only had time to bend down, The weapon shot towards him from the human hand again, the speed was so fast that it might shock the stars.Ning Ziyun managed to avoid three moves, and finally found a gap. He steadied his steps and drew the sword beside him, and started his first attack.
One side is very soft and comfortable, the purple silk feels very comfortable wrapped around his arm, as if it is a second layer of skin close to his body, binding his slender wrists, and fitting every inch of his tiny movements.The other side is sharp and sharp, a cold light between heaven and earth condenses on the blade of the sword, gathering the energy of the sword to turn water into ice is called a mirror, this is a water mirror, and the pursuit is to take advantage of its power to hit it with one blow.
Ning Ziyun knew that his master had praised his progress in speed, and he paid great attention to this fight, so he felt that it would never be as embarrassing as last time, and even had a glimmer of hope for victory.
The man dodged Ning Ziyun's attack calmly, his toes fell on the back of the chair a few times, and he was able to manipulate the purple silk around Ning Ziyun's waist several times during the process.Ning Ziyun tried to split the purple silk with his sword, but found that the power fell into the purple silk with the sword and was taken away by the purple silk. Only in this way, the other party almost effortlessly unloaded the purple silk he had gathered so hard. Sword Qi.
When Ning Ziyun panted and dodged the iron ball that hit his chest in embarrassment, the other party was still standing on the back of the chair with his clothes swaying happily.
There was no change in the final outcome, but in seven strokes, his sword was bound by the man's silk belt, and when the man raised his hand, the sword was released from his hand, and was thrown high into the air towards the pillar. fly away.The swordsman lost the sword in his hand, Ning Ziyun was anxious and angry, he had no time to recall the experience of the last disastrous defeat, the next second the ribbon hit his right forearm with a "snap", this time the whipping opponent grasped it precisely The strength, the pain that Ning Ziyun thought was going to break his arm rushed to his head, and when he couldn't react at all, the ribbon wrapped around Ning Ziyun's body in an elusive route like a snake. Then draw your feet back.
Ning Ziyun felt that the world was spinning suddenly, and when he came back to his senses, he had already fallen straight to the ground.
The man didn't let go of him, and led the other end, jumped down from the back of the chair and walked to him, looking down at him from above: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and my kung fu has improved a bit."
Ning Ziyun bit her lower lip and shouted in disbelief: "Give me back my sword."
The other party's expression suddenly became disdainful, he clicked his tongue, and secretly added some strength to his hands: "The kung fu has improved a little bit, but it's a pity that the temper is still so bad."
Ning Ziyun's eyes widened: "Flower friend! Do you still have the face to say that other people have a bad temper?" The silk ribbon on her feet was getting tighter and tighter. If she wasn't wearing thick winter clothes, Ning Ziyun would have doubted the ribbon. Is it about sinking into the flesh.
Ning Ziyun's words obviously irritated Huayou, he squinted his eyes, and while muttering "I knew I would not show mercy just now", he flicked his wrist, ready to wrap the ribbon around his hand again.
A silver-tipped jadeite fishing rod suddenly lay between the two of them. Before Huayou could move, with a flick of his fingers, the satin obediently tied a knot on the fishing rod, preventing Huayou from moving.
Huayou pulled the ribbon a few times but did not take it back, and shouted hoarsely to the other side: "Gewu!"
Gewu was looking downstairs, and he turned his eyes back to the room when he heard Huayou’s voice. He looked at the sword stuck in the pillar and still swinging from side to side, and then at Huayou and fell on the ground with a resentful expression on his face. Ning Ziyun, he felt a little headache, and had to put on the most serious expression to remind the other two people: "Big brother and second brother are already downstairs, are you sure you want to continue?"
At the beginning, Ao Qi did not plan to meet with them one by one and get together when he came back. Ge Wu and Hua You are both in different places, and usually the work assigned to them will only be more or less. It is not easy to get together , and asked them to make an extra trip.However, it was rare for them to be united in high spirits. From the moment they received the news that they were coming back, they kept saying that they wanted to have a meal together. In the end, it was the time and place set by Qi'ao, including Ning Ziyun.
The moment the buddy opened the door and Ao Qi and Qi Ao walked in, the three people in the room stood up involuntarily.
The two were more energetic than they remembered, like the undisturbed jade that had been sculpted by the desert wind and sand for more than two years showed a brilliant color that could not be ignored. The flamboyant behavior already has the capital to attract people's hearts.
Just one person standing there casually, the surrounding scenery will be eclipsed, no one can look away from him, he seems to be the light, no one will stand by his side without being affected.
However, they saw the golden wheel and osmanthus soul hanging high under the blue and orange sky, reflecting each other.He softened his brilliance and reflected his dawn, he perfected his brilliance and let him be covered with hoarfrost.
It didn't emit unbearable light endlessly because of the existence of the second self. Instead, there appeared such a thrilling beauty of the sun and the moon shining together, looking up.
It was no longer just the ink on the letter paper, but two real people standing in front of them, and even the most stable Gowu couldn't hold back the tears for a moment.
Qi'ao steadied Huayou, who was rushing towards him and clung to him and refused to get off, and solemnly said to Ge Wu and Huayou, "It's been hard work for you all these days." Looking at Ning Ziyun's head tearfully but never approached, "Ziyun, long time no see, you've grown up."
Ning Ziyun felt like crying again, he had so many things he wanted to say to his benefactor and son, but he also knew that Gewu and Huayou were the same as him, and what they wanted to say was more important things.Somewhat unwilling, Ning Ziyun rubbed his nose, and turned his full stomach into one sentence: "Benefactor, son, it's good that you can come back safely."
The hairy crabs in golden autumn are stewed in a pot. Take the crab roe and add lard to boil, put them in the tank and keep them sealed, and take them out in winter. Slow-fried, although Qiao has eaten it in Ximen, but it always feels a little less flavorful when accompanied by yellow sand and white snow.
Ao Qi helped Qi Ao turn the mushrooms on the iron plate while watching the wine glass in Qi Ao's hands filled up to the next cup, while Ge Wu was still talking about the recent situation in his ears, the harvest in recent years has not been considered too good, However, in the capital, the traditional Western Mexican craftsmanship has been greatly sought after. The more delicate and precious the more expensive it is, the more difficult it is to find, which can be regarded as a wonder.
Huayou propped his chin with one hand and looked at Qi'ao without blinking, licking his lips from time to time, and when Ge Wu finished speaking, he took over the words: "Although Cang Yuyan left earlier than you, Yue Ming The journey to the island is long and tiring in the middle, and I just arrived two days ago, so I asked a group of people to stay on Yueming Island as islanders to avoid future troubles." After finishing speaking, he went to tug at the corner of Qi'ao's clothes, " Qi Ao, do you think it's okay?"
With a turn of the eyes, a sense of spring grew in the winter.
"Okay." Qi'ao put down his chopsticks and picked up his wine glass, "Then I'll toast you."
After drinking this glass of wine, Huayou sat aside with an empty wine glass and kept giggling. The wine glass in Qi Ao's hand was also replaced with clear water. Qi didn't speak, and the food in front of him had unknowingly become bland and stomach nourishing.
He can only start to drink the soup obediently, and listen to the conversation between Aoqi and Gewu by the way.
In fact, what Gewu said about Aoqi had been understood along the way, and after a few words of advice, he moved from this to another matter-the operation and protection of waterways.
"Mu Xiuqi got a waterway in his hands. According to him, the geographical conditions are very good. You should send someone to investigate the actual situation." Now that we have decided to cooperate, we can't be too passive.
During this period, Gowu seemed to have a change of expression, hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything.
Until he heard Aoqi say: "It's not a big deal, you just send a flexible and obedient person to handle it. The key point is to keep the business points you have now." Gou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly Should come down.
Things were almost arranged, and the meal really started. At this time, all Ning Ziyun did was sit quietly beside Qi Ao, unable to interject a word, and unabashedly Gradually showing envious and annoyed eyes.
"Ziyun." Ning Ziyun, who came back to his senses after being called out twice by Qi'ao, was startled, a little embarrassed at random, and sat upright, looking at Qi'ao who was staring at him with crossed fingers, "Hey "A cry.
"Ziyun," Qiao called his name again, and then asked, "When you go back, will Su Cha treat you well?"
What Ning Ziyun didn't know was that before he seriously thought about how to answer, his expression had already exchanged for Qi'ao's gratified smile.
☆、judgment
This river and lake has been quiet for three years, not because they are far away from the Cang Kingdom and have no news, but really quiet.How long is three years, the corpses in those coffins have been rotting away, and how short is three years, it only takes such a period of time for the family villa, which has been brilliant for a hundred years, to be completely forgotten.
But this year is different from the past, the atmosphere of the year has not yet dissipated, the quiet rivers and lakes have been awakened by monstrous power, and the major martial arts sects have been summoned to the Dongfang Mansion once again by an invitation letter. An ordinary mansion in a lonely grass.
In a trance, time has returned to the day when every martial artist sleeps deep in the heart. Dongfang Qing is in the center of the reception hall of the Dongfang Mansion. The red and gold rays of light flowing on the blade are like the rising sun jumping out of the sea. In the chill of the hall, it seems that you can vaguely see the icy white steam colliding with the sword body, as well as the murmurs from ancient times that seem to be absent in the air.
Like a spell, calling back to everyone that fear that seemed forgotten, that seemed healed, that seemed conquered.
However, it still looks the same and is different, such as the power that can be directly felt and the suppression of the level of force, such as the youth's appearance and spirit that are more prosperous after being polished by wind and sand, such as the mighty Rihui with a sword, and such as the youth Next to him was a person wearing a mask with complicated patterns, which completely covered most of his face. He just stood there, silent, but everyone's eyes would be involuntarily placed on him.
Looking at the straight back in front of him on the right, Qi Ao concealed his sense of existence, he even had time to let his head go blank, remembering Ao Qi's eyes looking at the mask and wanting to destroy it before going on stage, if he hadn't taken care of it On this occasion, he probably wanted to laugh out loud.
He raised his hand and pressed the mask, covering the corners of his curved mouth.
At this time, Aoqi is righteous and serious: "What I said here at the time, 'If I hadn't found out the murderer behind Qianyue Villa and Dongfang Mansion with my own hands, wouldn't I have to bear the blame for the rest of my life', I think all the seniors should still have the impression .”
As soon as this remark came out, all the martial arts elders who were invited over showed embarrassment.Although they were all shocked at that time, none of them took this sentence seriously. According to their thinking, when Aoqi was tempered by wind, frost, snow, rain, poverty, isolation and helplessness The ground is almost there, and it's time for them to "take back" the Ssangyong Red Feather Sword.
There are also some who didn't participate last time, such as Su Cha, a group of disciples who are known as rare in the Jianghu, the first feeling is the inexplicable deterrence, teaching them what is beyond the sky and beyond.
"This matter..." Ao Qi tapped the table twice with his index finger and middle finger, and didn't speak any more, as if he was seriously thinking about Mu Xiuqi's proposal, and Mu Xiuqi also held his breath following Ao Qi's pause Breathing, quietly waiting for Aoqi's answer, facing Aoqi, the conditions he thinks he can put forward should be enough.
Mu Xiuqi looked at Aoqi almost without blinking, as if possessed, he didn't even know how much time had passed.
The candle flame swayed a bit because of the too long wick, and at this time Ao Qi finally had the intention to open his mouth.
Mu Xiuqi felt that his heart had jumped to his throat.
There was a "click", I don't know what it was, although it was not loud, it interrupted what Ao Qi was about to say, and woke Mu Xiuqi up.When he looked at Ao Qi again, the other party had already walked up to Qi Ao, bent down and picked up the book that fell at Qi Ao's feet, put it on the table, and picked it up again. Qi Ao, who fell asleep unconscious, put his head on the bed, and then walked back to Mu Xiuqi's side.
Mu Xiuqi followed Aoqi around the room with his eyes, and returned to the place where Aoqi sat at the beginning: "So what do you think about this matter?" But at this moment he was already a little uncertain whether Aoqi would be there. Answered at this time.
"I agree." Ao Qi lowered his voice, as if the moonlight had been soaked in fine wine, and the place where the silver was sprinkled was also full of drunkenness. For a moment, people would ignore what he said, "If there is nothing wrong Please come back."
Mu Xiuqi blinked slowly, and suddenly jumped up like a rabbit. He left the room in three steps at a time, remembering to help close the door.At this time, he naturally has no time to worry about whether Qi Ao will sleep back in his own room, or whether Ao Qi will change rooms.
Ao Qi walked back to the bed, Qi Ao was looking at the top of the bed with his eyes open, when he heard his footsteps Qi Ao turned his eyes and glanced at Ao Qi, then put his eyes on the top of the bed again, muttering What.Ao Qi bent down to hear clearly, but couldn't help laughing just after hearing a sentence.
Qi Ao quickly sat up and glanced at Ao Qi in horror. Seeing that Ao Qi was not surprised, he lay down and continued to mutter: "I am a frail scholar who fell asleep because he didn't understand the business classics, felt bored and didn't understand anything."
Having laughed enough, Ao Qi resumed his usual expression, hooked Qi Ao's hair and lay down side by side with Ao Qi: "What do you think of Mu Xiuqi's proposal?"
"You haven't already made up your mind." Qi Ao's voice was a little tired and vague, but Ao Qi could understand that it was Qi Ao's affirmation to him, even though this time the situation happened suddenly and they couldn't get along at all. Discussion, presumably Qi Ao thought the same way.
At this point, Ao Qi closed his eyes with peace of mind, listening to the intertwined and harmonious breathing of the other two, the next thing just needs to be handed over to Qi Ao as before, and he even looks forward to enjoying another show directed by Qi Ao new game.
☆, close to the countryside
The landscape outside the car is already familiar to them. In the cold wind, the brown and yellow leaves hang on the branches and tremble. It is the time when all things sleep, but not all of them will wake up with a new look in the coming year. Some of them cannot survive the snow and frost of winter, and this will be their last and eternal sleep.
For Qiao, spring sleepiness, summer fatigue, autumn nap, and hibernation, so whether it is winter or not has little to do with his mental state.He closed the window and yawned, Qi Ao wrapped the fox fur around his body like a brocade quilt, lay on the couch and swayed slightly with the bumps of the carriage, his gaze followed up and down, and finally settled on the line of Ao Qi's jaw, After watching for a long time, the line of sight slowly faded away, and after a while, only gentle breathing remained.
The carriage seemed to run over a small rock, and just as Qi Ao slid down a little, Ao Qi protected his head and lay back on his lap again.Ao Qi finished processing the document in his hand, then lowered his head to look at Qi Ao, most of Qi Ao's face was buried in the fox fur, even his nose was covered by him, only the eyes were exposed, half asleep Half awake probably sensed someone's gaze, Qi'ao's first reaction was to open his eyes, his eyes still hazy, seeing Ao Qi and leaving Ao Qi with a pair of crescent moons.
Ao Qi waited for Qi Ao to really fall asleep, and stretched out his hand to tuck Qi Ao's fox fur. There was still a thick stack of documents on the table that he had to finish before sunset. Fortunately, he was used to these things, and these things were considered handy. , and there is no problem, but he still needs to have an understanding of every aspect.
In winter, the sun sets early, and the carriage gets dark before you know it. Jingnv came in to light up the lights during a break and then went out. At this time, Ao Qi had just finished reading the last letter in his hand. He pushed He opened the pane and turned his head to look out, trying not to move his body.The road has become very wide, and the trees on both sides are not as uneven as in the wild. Sure enough, Wu Cheng soon heard the announcement from the outer cabinet that he was about to reach a town in front of him.
Ao Qi seized the time to wake up Qi Ao, Qi Ao had almost slept all the way, and when he entered the town, he should go directly to find a place to have dinner, eating just after waking up is not good for people with weak stomachs, especially during this period of time Qi Ao's physical condition is very important, Ao Qi is extremely careful.
According to the final result of the discussion between Aoqi and Mu Xiuqi, Mu Xiuqi and Ruan Meier separated from them at the last stop. According to Mu Xiuqi, he needs to go back and explain this matter to his father in advance, hoping to make up for it. However, to avoid the fault of his failure to accomplish anything in West Mexico, and the affairs of the waterway will be presided over by him, so there will be a lot more things to do. At that time, all problems will be contacted through pigeons, and it will naturally be another battle before leaving. Say goodbye.
Before driving into the city gate, the smell of food wafted into the carriage. Qi Ao was drinking Musha soup, smelling the aroma, he couldn't help but put down the bowl.
He showed an expectant smile: "Did you arrive in Shiqian Town?"
Shiqian Town is a small town. After so many years of development, it still maintains a small appearance, even though the inside has changed from simple and peaceful to full of traffic and traffic.The reason why it became so prosperous is that it is located at the intersection of two avenues. It is a transportation hub in the southwest, from which it can connect north and south, east and west, and extend in all directions. When Qi Ao and the others entered I chose another route when I was in West Mexico, and I didn't return the same way when I came back, so I ended up here this night.
Although Shiqian Town is only a small town, it has a great reputation, and many businessmen and tourists have passed by since then.Since ancient times, such a transportation hub has the characteristics of more people, more horses, more goods, and eventually became a major commercial town, but it unexpectedly did not develop into a commercial town.The reason why it is widely known is because of its delicacies. The delicacies from the hometown brought by merchants from all over the world are gathered here, and Shiqian Town has gradually gained the reputation of "Thousand Food Town".
And stepping here also means getting closer to Cang Kingdom.
Every step they take is actually getting closer to Cangguo, but in the two years since they left Cangguo, neither Qi Ao nor Aoqi has ever been shyer than the so-called closeness to hometown.
The timid, or because of people, or because of things, or because things are right and wrong, or just a mere green willow branch that has been broken last spring and swallows will not return today, it may even be a flower at the bridgehead, a piece of blue tiles under the sunset , Those precious things that I once owned, but because of various reasons, I had to abandon them when I left my hometown, and then I suddenly realized the beauty of them, which can most arouse the timidity in my heart.
And all of this has nothing to do with Yu Aoqi and Yu Qiao.
The inn they stayed at this time was not the largest and tallest inn in the town, but a small shop by the busiest street in the town. Although small, the layout was clean and interesting, and they gave some money to the waitresses in the shop. It can help you buy street snacks and deliver them to your room. First, you don’t have to squeeze in the crowd to get your clothes dirty. Second, you don’t have to spend time looking for them when you know which one is authentic and which one is delicious.
Weiming, who was beside Aoqi, came to the inn early to make arrangements, and when Qiao and the others entered the room, the small dishes and bowls on the table were still warm.The jujube cake is sweet and smooth with glutinous buttermilk, and the rice soup is refreshing and fried meat appetizers. There are only two or three points of each, which is just enough to taste the taste and avoid food congestion.
Even though this is fine, and Qi Ao always likes light and sweet food, this time he almost got full, if Ao Qi didn't see the time to recycle the spicy oil, Qi Ao could eat more.
Qi Ao, who was full after eating and drinking, finally smelled the smell of all kinds of food stained on his clothes. He pulled his sleeves and sniffed, and his nose was a little choked by the strong smell. A hot fire, together with the last cup of Sandong brew, made his whole body feel a little hot.In the early winter, the local room did not have the habit of heating. He even took off his fur coat and heavy cocoons in a daze. There seemed to be strange reprimands in his ears. He rubbed his arms and wore only a thin coat. Sitting at the table in the jacketed robe, I don't know what to think.
When his bout of alcohol passed, he found himself sitting naked in the bathtub. The temperature of the water in the bathtub was just right, reaching up to his shoulders. The blood-red traces on his shoulders were imprinted in the clear water, which was extremely vivid. .There are burning braziers around the bathtub, and the screen keeps out the cold wind at the door. His original suit of clothes has been thrown away somewhere, and Ao Qi has disappeared.
When waking up, the body suddenly reacted with oily and spicy food, mixed with the sultry air, the food seemed to be dancing in Qiao's stomach, and the greasy taste was not only in the stomach Lingering, I felt the residue in my mouth and throat, and it was getting thicker and thicker, as if what he just ate was not a few pieces of fried meat, but a full cup of oil.
Qi'ao searched for a long time but couldn't find any new clothes, he hesitated between the choice of getting out of the bathtub naked.
Stomach acid kept rushing upwards, and even his throat could already feel the sour taste. Qi Ao had to cover his mouth. He sat cross-legged in the bathtub, lowered his head and calmed down for two seconds, and then called out a person's name: "Ao Qi."
A figure flashed out from behind the screen, carrying a set of warmed underwear, standing by the screen watching Qi Ao not speak, just a little more than an arm's length away from Qi Ao.
Sitting in the bathtub, Qi Ao couldn't laugh or cry: "Give me my clothes quickly."
Ao Qi simply folded his hands and leaned against the screen, his dissatisfaction with Qi Ao's perfunctory attitude was written on his brows.
Qi Ao flopped around in the bathtub twice, reaching out his hand against the wall of the bathtub to reach the edge of the clothes hanging down, but unfortunately he was a little short of everything, so he had to admit his mistake: "I was wrong, I know I was wrong." He raised his hand He kept looking at Aoqi's expression, admitting his mistake, and at the same time mixed a few words "give me clothes".
However, this kind of confession was not forgiven by Aoqi, he just stood there, it was rare that he didn't take a step back from Shangqiao's begging for mercy.The water in winter is easy to get cold, even if the brazier around it can't stop the speed of temperature drop, coupled with Qi'ao's non-stop movements, although standing still, Ao Qi, who didn't look away, frowned several times It was all covered up by him.
Qi Ao finally stopped, and he confronted Ao Qi, bearing Ao Qi's anger and at the same time suppressing the feeling of nausea again, in the end he slumped his shoulders first, wiped away the joking expression and solemnly promised: " I will stop making trouble, and I will never overeat like this again in the future." He fiddled with the surface of the water, lowered his eyes and muttered, "The water is getting cold." It's okay if you don't say it, Qi Ao just finished saying this He felt that the cold air in the water came from all directions to envelop him, seeping into his blood along his skin, and he shivered unconsciously.
In the blink of an eye, Qiao was already sitting on the bed wrapped in a blanket.
Stepping on the soft quilt, Qi Ao realized that his feet had become as cold as a piece of ice again. He stretched his feet, thinking that he would try to hold Ao Qi next time, obviously he had almost the same figure, Every time Ao Qi hugs him, it's like hugging a cloud.
Ao Qi threw another dry towel to Qi Ao, turned around and went to take a bath, leaving Qi Ao to wipe his hair with the towel, he was not too skillful to wrap up his hair, I wonder if it was because the food was still rolling in his stomach Seeing that, Qi Ao didn't lie down immediately, sitting on the bed looked a little unexpectedly innocent.
When Ao Qi came out wiping his hair, he saw Qi Ao like this, with a misty look on his face, which deceived many people.
Going over to untie the towel on his head, Ao Qi stretched out his hand to touch it, but the root of his hair was still wet, and after wrapping it for so long, layers of cold moisture filled his hair, Ao Qi's face also became icy cold at that time .Even though Ao Qi had a cold face, he still used his internal energy to help Qi Ao dry his hair, which is funny to say, this is probably the biggest effect of his strong internal energy in front of Qi Ao.
Thinking of this, and seeing Qi Ao obediently drink up the medicine for digestion clear oil without saying a word, Ao Qi's face turned up several times.After finishing everything, Ao Qi counted the time and shook his head, then imitated Qi Ao's posture and sat cross-legged on the bed to face Qi Ao, looking like they were looking in a mirror.
It is not suitable to think too much when digesting food. Ao Qi and Qi Ao picked up the chess game that had not been completed because of Mu Xiuqi's interruption, and they didn't use a chess board. It was a draw.
Qi Ao drew a conclusion under the quilt: "Actually, playing chess with you is meaningless."
The chess moves of the two of them are very clear to each other, and they can predict each other's next moves. This is not simply taking one step and thinking about ten moves. If you want to think about what the other side is going to do, if the other side guesses When the time comes, how do you eat it back, or what if the other party has figured out that he has already planned to make a feint and then falls to the beginning.
Ao Qi also nodded, and then let in Zi Ye who was lying on the window and beeping several times.
Ziye submitted several letters. Although the handwriting was different, the names were neatly written on them, one by one, Huayou, Gewu, Ning Ziyun, Lian Zhuangzhu, Xun Gufeng...these The name of the deceased is mixed with the wind and rain of the rivers and lakes, sweeping in.
☆, get together
The new year is approaching, and there will be no snow in the winter in the south. There are only large areas of gray clouds piled up in the sky, which are swept away by the icy cold wind. Unlike the dryness and low temperature in the north, the winter in the south is wet and cold. It's cold, and the cold air will seep in from every pore of your body, even if you wrap yourself in several layers of cotton jackets and hug the stove, it won't help.
The sky was rarely clear on this day, and Ning Ziyun was basking in the garden dressed like a ball.Although it is Chinese New Year, the sect is still deserted, and no one has mentioned this matter. This is the custom of the Shuijing Sword Sect. There are so many entry-level sects who grew up in the sect. Although Ning Ziyun is already familiar with it, he still Did not adapt.
Probably because in recent years, Su Cha would take time to meet him before the new year, bring him some interesting gadgets, and then ask the head's permission to take him for a stroll around the town to experience the New Year's Eve lively.However, this year was different. Two days ago, Ning Ziyun received a message from Su Cha, telling him that he might not be able to accompany him this year.
Not only during the Chinese New Year, Su Cha's time to play with him has gradually decreased over the past year, and he also vaguely heard some news - the head of the Fuyi School seems to have the idea of retiring, and he hopes that Su Cha can Become a qualified head as soon as possible, take over the sect from him and carry it forward, so he transferred the internal affairs of the sect to Su Cha's hands bit by bit.After all, he is not becoming an immortal and cultivating Taoism. The head of the sect needs to manage the food and clothing expenses of the entire sect, and it is even more busy at the end of the year. Even so, Sucha still misses Ning Ziyun when he gets empty, and the news becomes more frequent.
Ning Ziyun was not unhappy. He knew better than others who Su Cha was and what his character was - a mature and stable personality beyond his age, a well-organized and methodical handling of affairs, and a new generation of sects. A model among disciples.
Su Cha like this made him happy and proud.
He is just...
Not used to it.
This year Su Cha was not around, and the Shuijingjian Sect had always demanded not to be pleased with things or to be saddened by others, and human feelings were as indifferent as water, so they didn't take these festivals to heart, and there was no New Year's atmosphere in the school.Ning Ziyun shuddered, the sun hid in the clouds, and the little light left on his body did not bring him warmth, but the cold wind kept drilling into his clothes, and he shivered , wrapped the neckline a little tighter, and couldn't help but sighed.
In the past, he never cared about the number of people during the Chinese New Year, but since the past two years, he has become more and more aware of what it means to be alone.
A figure suddenly appeared behind him. Just as he was about to reach out to pat Ning Ziyun on the shoulder, Ning Ziyun's sword was held around his neck.
In the blink of an eye, the small cotton ball just now became much sharper.
However, this momentum didn't last long. After seeing who was coming, Ning Ziyun shyly put down his sword and smiled embarrassingly: "So it's you."
Ning Ziyun was already very familiar with this person.Even though he left Ao Qi and Qi Ao, the contact with them has never been broken. From the letter Qi Ao wrote to him, he knew that they set off from Cangguo in order to catch the real murderer and clear the evidence for the benefactor. Arrived in West Mexico, and stayed there for more than two years.
As if aware of Ning Ziyun's worry about them, Qi'ao explained their itinerary very clearly in the letter, other than that, he never gave any extra instructions, and Ning Ziyun never mentioned this matter to anyone. thing.Although he was very distressed, he burned every letter after he read it-he really wanted to find a place to store it, and he could read it many times carefully, but as long as he thought of even a tiny bit With the possibility of being discovered, he didn't dare to keep the letter for a moment longer.
Therefore, every time he reads the letter, he will deal with the letter, and then recite the letter silently in his heart and go to practice sword happily, as if he is being urged by a benefactor and son. He is very different, and his swordsmanship has also improved rapidly.
These letters were delivered to him by the person in front of him.He still remembered the excitement and joy when he got the letter for the first time, and he even forgot to ask when this person entered their sect and why he was always lurking in the resting place of the disciples.
Qi Ao's letter to him does not have a fixed time, sometimes the interval is short, sometimes he has to wait for a long time, Ning Ziyun imagines what Qi Ao and the others are busy with according to the length of the interval.Today's letter has been two or three months since the last one. This unexpected surprise was like sunlight piercing the dark clouds, bringing some warmth to Ning Ziyun, and Ning Ziyun accepted it with great joy. The envelope, said thank you to the man, and then couldn't wait to open the envelope.
After reading the first sentence, Ning Ziyun covered his mouth and tried his best to suppress the screaming in his throat so as not to invite Master and others.
"We've arrived at Chuliu. Seven days later, old friends in Jingshan Town will have a gathering. There will be a red stove without snow, and green wine without flowers."
Ning Ziyun blinked, tears streaming down her eyes.
Ning Ziyun tentatively mentioned to the head that he wanted to go down the mountain, but as expected, he was ruthlessly rejected by the head without Su Cha. Ning Ziyun pursed his lips, turned around and went back to the room to summon the messenger. In the end, as Qi Ao said in his letter, it was up to him to help him go down the mountain to meet.
The man escorted him to the door of the reserved room and left, leaving him alone at the door, breathing deeply and restless.Wiping the sweat from his hands on the sides of his trousers, Ning Ziyun let out a breath, then pushed open the closed door in front of him expectantly.
Almost instinctively, he turned his head to the side, but a fiery scar was left on his cheek. The weapon that hurt him flew past his face and was quickly retracted. Ning Ziyun only had time to bend down, The weapon shot towards him from the human hand again, the speed was so fast that it might shock the stars.Ning Ziyun managed to avoid three moves, and finally found a gap. He steadied his steps and drew the sword beside him, and started his first attack.
One side is very soft and comfortable, the purple silk feels very comfortable wrapped around his arm, as if it is a second layer of skin close to his body, binding his slender wrists, and fitting every inch of his tiny movements.The other side is sharp and sharp, a cold light between heaven and earth condenses on the blade of the sword, gathering the energy of the sword to turn water into ice is called a mirror, this is a water mirror, and the pursuit is to take advantage of its power to hit it with one blow.
Ning Ziyun knew that his master had praised his progress in speed, and he paid great attention to this fight, so he felt that it would never be as embarrassing as last time, and even had a glimmer of hope for victory.
The man dodged Ning Ziyun's attack calmly, his toes fell on the back of the chair a few times, and he was able to manipulate the purple silk around Ning Ziyun's waist several times during the process.Ning Ziyun tried to split the purple silk with his sword, but found that the power fell into the purple silk with the sword and was taken away by the purple silk. Only in this way, the other party almost effortlessly unloaded the purple silk he had gathered so hard. Sword Qi.
When Ning Ziyun panted and dodged the iron ball that hit his chest in embarrassment, the other party was still standing on the back of the chair with his clothes swaying happily.
There was no change in the final outcome, but in seven strokes, his sword was bound by the man's silk belt, and when the man raised his hand, the sword was released from his hand, and was thrown high into the air towards the pillar. fly away.The swordsman lost the sword in his hand, Ning Ziyun was anxious and angry, he had no time to recall the experience of the last disastrous defeat, the next second the ribbon hit his right forearm with a "snap", this time the whipping opponent grasped it precisely The strength, the pain that Ning Ziyun thought was going to break his arm rushed to his head, and when he couldn't react at all, the ribbon wrapped around Ning Ziyun's body in an elusive route like a snake. Then draw your feet back.
Ning Ziyun felt that the world was spinning suddenly, and when he came back to his senses, he had already fallen straight to the ground.
The man didn't let go of him, and led the other end, jumped down from the back of the chair and walked to him, looking down at him from above: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and my kung fu has improved a bit."
Ning Ziyun bit her lower lip and shouted in disbelief: "Give me back my sword."
The other party's expression suddenly became disdainful, he clicked his tongue, and secretly added some strength to his hands: "The kung fu has improved a little bit, but it's a pity that the temper is still so bad."
Ning Ziyun's eyes widened: "Flower friend! Do you still have the face to say that other people have a bad temper?" The silk ribbon on her feet was getting tighter and tighter. If she wasn't wearing thick winter clothes, Ning Ziyun would have doubted the ribbon. Is it about sinking into the flesh.
Ning Ziyun's words obviously irritated Huayou, he squinted his eyes, and while muttering "I knew I would not show mercy just now", he flicked his wrist, ready to wrap the ribbon around his hand again.
A silver-tipped jadeite fishing rod suddenly lay between the two of them. Before Huayou could move, with a flick of his fingers, the satin obediently tied a knot on the fishing rod, preventing Huayou from moving.
Huayou pulled the ribbon a few times but did not take it back, and shouted hoarsely to the other side: "Gewu!"
Gewu was looking downstairs, and he turned his eyes back to the room when he heard Huayou’s voice. He looked at the sword stuck in the pillar and still swinging from side to side, and then at Huayou and fell on the ground with a resentful expression on his face. Ning Ziyun, he felt a little headache, and had to put on the most serious expression to remind the other two people: "Big brother and second brother are already downstairs, are you sure you want to continue?"
At the beginning, Ao Qi did not plan to meet with them one by one and get together when he came back. Ge Wu and Hua You are both in different places, and usually the work assigned to them will only be more or less. It is not easy to get together , and asked them to make an extra trip.However, it was rare for them to be united in high spirits. From the moment they received the news that they were coming back, they kept saying that they wanted to have a meal together. In the end, it was the time and place set by Qi'ao, including Ning Ziyun.
The moment the buddy opened the door and Ao Qi and Qi Ao walked in, the three people in the room stood up involuntarily.
The two were more energetic than they remembered, like the undisturbed jade that had been sculpted by the desert wind and sand for more than two years showed a brilliant color that could not be ignored. The flamboyant behavior already has the capital to attract people's hearts.
Just one person standing there casually, the surrounding scenery will be eclipsed, no one can look away from him, he seems to be the light, no one will stand by his side without being affected.
However, they saw the golden wheel and osmanthus soul hanging high under the blue and orange sky, reflecting each other.He softened his brilliance and reflected his dawn, he perfected his brilliance and let him be covered with hoarfrost.
It didn't emit unbearable light endlessly because of the existence of the second self. Instead, there appeared such a thrilling beauty of the sun and the moon shining together, looking up.
It was no longer just the ink on the letter paper, but two real people standing in front of them, and even the most stable Gowu couldn't hold back the tears for a moment.
Qi'ao steadied Huayou, who was rushing towards him and clung to him and refused to get off, and solemnly said to Ge Wu and Huayou, "It's been hard work for you all these days." Looking at Ning Ziyun's head tearfully but never approached, "Ziyun, long time no see, you've grown up."
Ning Ziyun felt like crying again, he had so many things he wanted to say to his benefactor and son, but he also knew that Gewu and Huayou were the same as him, and what they wanted to say was more important things.Somewhat unwilling, Ning Ziyun rubbed his nose, and turned his full stomach into one sentence: "Benefactor, son, it's good that you can come back safely."
The hairy crabs in golden autumn are stewed in a pot. Take the crab roe and add lard to boil, put them in the tank and keep them sealed, and take them out in winter. Slow-fried, although Qiao has eaten it in Ximen, but it always feels a little less flavorful when accompanied by yellow sand and white snow.
Ao Qi helped Qi Ao turn the mushrooms on the iron plate while watching the wine glass in Qi Ao's hands filled up to the next cup, while Ge Wu was still talking about the recent situation in his ears, the harvest in recent years has not been considered too good, However, in the capital, the traditional Western Mexican craftsmanship has been greatly sought after. The more delicate and precious the more expensive it is, the more difficult it is to find, which can be regarded as a wonder.
Huayou propped his chin with one hand and looked at Qi'ao without blinking, licking his lips from time to time, and when Ge Wu finished speaking, he took over the words: "Although Cang Yuyan left earlier than you, Yue Ming The journey to the island is long and tiring in the middle, and I just arrived two days ago, so I asked a group of people to stay on Yueming Island as islanders to avoid future troubles." After finishing speaking, he went to tug at the corner of Qi'ao's clothes, " Qi Ao, do you think it's okay?"
With a turn of the eyes, a sense of spring grew in the winter.
"Okay." Qi'ao put down his chopsticks and picked up his wine glass, "Then I'll toast you."
After drinking this glass of wine, Huayou sat aside with an empty wine glass and kept giggling. The wine glass in Qi Ao's hand was also replaced with clear water. Qi didn't speak, and the food in front of him had unknowingly become bland and stomach nourishing.
He can only start to drink the soup obediently, and listen to the conversation between Aoqi and Gewu by the way.
In fact, what Gewu said about Aoqi had been understood along the way, and after a few words of advice, he moved from this to another matter-the operation and protection of waterways.
"Mu Xiuqi got a waterway in his hands. According to him, the geographical conditions are very good. You should send someone to investigate the actual situation." Now that we have decided to cooperate, we can't be too passive.
During this period, Gowu seemed to have a change of expression, hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything.
Until he heard Aoqi say: "It's not a big deal, you just send a flexible and obedient person to handle it. The key point is to keep the business points you have now." Gou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly Should come down.
Things were almost arranged, and the meal really started. At this time, all Ning Ziyun did was sit quietly beside Qi Ao, unable to interject a word, and unabashedly Gradually showing envious and annoyed eyes.
"Ziyun." Ning Ziyun, who came back to his senses after being called out twice by Qi'ao, was startled, a little embarrassed at random, and sat upright, looking at Qi'ao who was staring at him with crossed fingers, "Hey "A cry.
"Ziyun," Qiao called his name again, and then asked, "When you go back, will Su Cha treat you well?"
What Ning Ziyun didn't know was that before he seriously thought about how to answer, his expression had already exchanged for Qi'ao's gratified smile.

This river and lake has been quiet for three years, not because they are far away from the Cang Kingdom and have no news, but really quiet.How long is three years, the corpses in those coffins have been rotting away, and how short is three years, it only takes such a period of time for the family villa, which has been brilliant for a hundred years, to be completely forgotten.
But this year is different from the past, the atmosphere of the year has not yet dissipated, the quiet rivers and lakes have been awakened by monstrous power, and the major martial arts sects have been summoned to the Dongfang Mansion once again by an invitation letter. An ordinary mansion in a lonely grass.
In a trance, time has returned to the day when every martial artist sleeps deep in the heart. Dongfang Qing is in the center of the reception hall of the Dongfang Mansion. The red and gold rays of light flowing on the blade are like the rising sun jumping out of the sea. In the chill of the hall, it seems that you can vaguely see the icy white steam colliding with the sword body, as well as the murmurs from ancient times that seem to be absent in the air.
Like a spell, calling back to everyone that fear that seemed forgotten, that seemed healed, that seemed conquered.
However, it still looks the same and is different, such as the power that can be directly felt and the suppression of the level of force, such as the youth's appearance and spirit that are more prosperous after being polished by wind and sand, such as the mighty Rihui with a sword, and such as the youth Next to him was a person wearing a mask with complicated patterns, which completely covered most of his face. He just stood there, silent, but everyone's eyes would be involuntarily placed on him.
Looking at the straight back in front of him on the right, Qi Ao concealed his sense of existence, he even had time to let his head go blank, remembering Ao Qi's eyes looking at the mask and wanting to destroy it before going on stage, if he hadn't taken care of it On this occasion, he probably wanted to laugh out loud.
He raised his hand and pressed the mask, covering the corners of his curved mouth.
At this time, Aoqi is righteous and serious: "What I said here at the time, 'If I hadn't found out the murderer behind Qianyue Villa and Dongfang Mansion with my own hands, wouldn't I have to bear the blame for the rest of my life', I think all the seniors should still have the impression .”
As soon as this remark came out, all the martial arts elders who were invited over showed embarrassment.Although they were all shocked at that time, none of them took this sentence seriously. According to their thinking, when Aoqi was tempered by wind, frost, snow, rain, poverty, isolation and helplessness The ground is almost there, and it's time for them to "take back" the Ssangyong Red Feather Sword.
There are also some who didn't participate last time, such as Su Cha, a group of disciples who are known as rare in the Jianghu, the first feeling is the inexplicable deterrence, teaching them what is beyond the sky and beyond.
