Jade flute sounds far

After replacing his follower with Qi Yuan, Qiao Chongyu only felt that his life became more comfortable than ever.Qi Yuan was quiet most of the time, no matter whether Qiao Chongyu wanted to go into the woods to catch birds or go to the city to listen to the books, he would not have any opinion, just followed behind him obediently.

Luo Danian, who was beating his mother-in-law, really became honest after being cut off by Qi Yuan. Qiao Chongyu once quietly took Qi Yuan to look at the courtyard wall, and then left after confirming with his own eyes.There is a wild apricot tree growing outside the yard, with many flowers blooming bustlingly. At first glance, it looks pure white, but only when you look closely can you find the light red in the center of the flower, like rouge blooming.Seeing that Qiao Chongyu liked it, he couldn't help but folded a branch and held it in his hand. After playing with it for a while, he wanted to insert it on Qi Yuan's head, but the other party stopped him without looking at it: "The owner."

"What's the matter?" Qiao Chongyu deliberately pretended to be confused, but secretly stepped on the family's Shuiyue footwork, and walked around behind Qi Yuan in the blink of an eye.

He was determined to put the apricot flower on Qi Yuan's head, but Qi Yuan seemed to have eyes behind his back, he didn't hide or dodge, he just stretched out the sword with the sheath behind it to block Qiao Chongyu's attack hand.

"Brother Qi is really good at it."

Seeing this, Qiao Chongyu praised her, as if she had given up on this idea, and walked around Qi Yuan first.Just before the two of them were about to walk out of the alley, he suddenly turned around, thrust out his left fist and attacked Qi Yuan's face!

Qi Yuan paused with his hand on the hilt of the sword, and finally received the punch empty-handed, but Qiao Chongyu's punch was also a false move, and he withdrew it halfway, stretched out his right hand, and inserted the flower in his lapel.

After all, this move was too big, half of the apricot blossoms scattered down and stuck to their shoes and tops.Qiao Chongyu still had a rascal face, first pressed Qi Yuan's hand to prevent him from taking off the flower branches, and complained: "Look, all the good flowers have been tossed and scattered."

"It's a subordinate, isn't it?"

In the past few days, Qi Yuan had figured out Qiao Chongyu's temper early on, so he quickly pressed his lips into a helpless wry smile, and apologized to him solemnly.The two walked around Hejiaji again, and it was already evening when they returned to the villa, and they bumped into Yu Jueqing who was about to go out to find someone.

Yu Jueqing glanced at Qi Yuan who still had apricot blossoms on his chest, his expression was a little worried, but he held back and said that the head of the Qingcheng faction suddenly announced that he would give up his position to a senior disciple, and that he had just sent invitations to invite all sects to come Watch the ceremony.

"Since it's a change of head, I'll just congratulate myself."

The Qingcheng faction is not far from Jingyi Mountain Villa, and it is also adjacent to Chengdu. Qiao Chongyu immediately responded when he heard it.Yu Jueqing waited for him to finish, and only asked: "Senior Brother Jing Yue went to Mingyu School to give gifts, Senior Brother Gong went to Qingqi Hall, who will accompany you to Mount Qingcheng?"

"What else do you need to ask?" Qiao Chongyu was puzzled, "Earlier I was aware of you following, but now that Brother Qi is taking over your job, of course I will take him."

"Young Master..."

"What are you making noise at the door?"

It was Yu Dongjie who came.Qiao Chongyu turned her head and saw him, and quickly called out "Master Yu" with a smile, and then said: "Jueqing said that the Qingcheng faction is going to change its head, and we are discussing which day we will leave to congratulate."

"What day do you want to leave?" Yu Jueqing frowned, "Evidently, he hasn't even decided who will accompany him! Young master, you—"

"Qing'er!"

Yu Dongjie scolded suddenly, Yu Jueqing's face froze, so he took a step back and stopped talking.

"How many times have I told you that the owner is the owner, not some young owner." Yu Dongjie's voice was not loud, but he sternly knocked on Yu Jueqing's back, "The owner will take whoever he takes when he goes out. It should be up to him to decide, what are you talking about here as a mere manager? Let the disciples see the joke for nothing."

After a few words, Yu Jueqing's face turned pale. Although Qiao Chongyu wanted to take Qi Yuan out, he couldn't see him being scolded too much, so he rushed to Yu Dongjie's back and beat his back: "Uncle Yu, calm down. Jueqing didn't say no just now." Who should I take with me, I understand what he means, besides brother Qi, bring a few more disciples, so that we can support our villa."

"It's good if you want to think so." Yu Dongjie finally turned pale after hearing this, and said, let the owner decide, and left first.Qiao Chongyu wanted to say something more, but Yu Jueqing also retreated with a sullen face. For a while, only Qiao Chongyu and Qi Yuan were left in the courtyard filled with sunlight.

He heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Qi Yuan who had been silent behind him, and suddenly laughed: "Why are you still carrying it?"

The branch of apricot blossom was bumpy for half a day, except for the two unopened buds, the rest were already tired, and two or three petals could fall with a single movement.Qiao Chongyu took off the flower branch, sniffed it, and wanted to throw it away, but couldn't bear to look at the flower bud, so she stuck it under a peach tree in the corner of the courtyard.

After finishing all this, he turned his head and looked at Qi Yuan again: "I wonder if brother Qi would like to go with me to Mount Qingcheng?"

The smile on his face was still there, and when he was illuminated by the slanting light, he felt even warmer, making it impossible for anyone to say no to it—not to mention, Qi Yuan had no intention of refusing this matter in the first place.

"Subordinates take orders."

From Jingyi Mountain Villa to Qingcheng Mountain, it only takes two days on a fast horse.They picked up the date and set off on the road, but they didn't know that it rained halfway, a lot of rocks and mud rolled down the road, not to mention the delay, and even splashed the clothes of the whole group dirty.

Time was running out, and everyone couldn't care less about changing, so they rushed to Mount Qingcheng.Most of the sects had already arrived in the newly renovated banquet hall. It was lively and lively, but when Qiao Chongyu appeared at the gate, there was an abrupt silence, and soon there were small discussions.

Qiao Chongyu acted as if he didn't feel the teasing gazes on him, and only said to the receiving disciples guarding the door: "Master Jingyi Villa Qiao Chongyu and five disciples, He Gui sent the new head to succeed him."

"Thank you, Master Qiao, please."

The current head of the Qingcheng faction has been doing nothing since he took over, so that the school's reputation in the martial arts has been weakening day by day. Only a few sects from the Sichuan-Chongqing area came to congratulate.Qiao Chongyu's seat was arranged second from the left, right after Emei.Sitting on both sides of him are Master Qingyan, head of Emei sect, and Tang Fei, master of Tang sect, both of whom are reticent. On the contrary, Wang Gufeng, the master of Wanji sect sitting opposite and third from the right, couldn't help but sneer: " Zhuangzhu Qiao's young man is really smart, unlike us old guys who only know to come early and sit and wait."

Wanjimen is very close to Jingyi Villa, and there were many disputes in the early years, but later they were suppressed by Jingyi Villa, and they became depressed day by day.The daring to provoke openly this time is probably just to bully Qiao Chongyu when he was young.

Qiao Chongyu just smiled when he heard the words, and turned his head to talk to Qi Yuan who was behind him.Wan Gufeng stabbed nothing with his lips and tongue, and his expression became even worse. He wanted to say something, but he heard the drums and music outside, and the succession ceremony had already begun.

So everyone poured into the main hall to watch the ceremony, watching the disciples of the Qingcheng sect pay homage to the old gentleman in the curling green smoke, and then hand over the seal letter to the senior disciples by the current master.As soon as the chorus announcing Li Cheng's succession stopped, congratulatory voices sounded one after another, lining up with smiling faces.Qiao Chongyu rushed to the front to congratulate the new head, with a smile on his face from the bottom of his heart - the lengthy succession ceremony was finally over, and he could finally go down the mountain to play.

Qi Yuan and the other four disciples were still waiting at the side of the hall.Qiao Chongyu happily walked over, and was about to greet someone, but heard a call from behind.

"Master Joe."

Wan Gufeng stood not far away with a smirk: "Master Qiao is leaving? Look at your clothes, it doesn't matter on Qingcheng Mountain. If you go to Chengdu City, others will think that we martial arts people It's so informal——Yi'er, go and help Zhuang Zhu adjust his clothes."

After he finished speaking, he winked, and a disciple greeted him with a clean cloth towel.Qiao Chongyu didn't refuse when he saw this, and waited on the spot with a smile, until the disciple walked in front of him, as if he was about to wipe off the mud stains on his cuffs first, then he stretched out his hand to grab the opponent's wrist.

The disciple came prepared, and hurriedly turned sideways to dodge, but felt that in a blink of an eye, he had just sent his arm to the opponent's hand, and he couldn't break free.

"The only one who can make the Jingquan of our villa so superb is the owner of the villa."

Qi Yuan listened to the whispered conversations of the disciples beside him, and saw ink dripping from the palm of the left hand of the disciple of Wanji Sect who was hiding under the cloth scarf, and was about to speak, but Qiao Chongyu yelled with a fussy expression on his face: "This brother , where are you rubbing the ashes on your face?"

As Qiao Chongyu spoke, he took the man's hand and wiped it on the other's face, imprinting a black palm print.The people around realized what had happened, and laughed out loud, but he didn't seem to be enough, and rubbed his wrist tightly on the neckline: "There are some of these!"

Wan Gufeng and his disciples left in a hurry amidst the laughter of others.Among them, Qiao Chongyu laughed the most heartily, and he couldn't stop laughing on the way down the mountain: "Father said that Wanjimen are all short-sighted people, it's true. Look at that Wangufeng, the others don't know it, they just gossip there, You want to embarrass me—and don't see if you have the ability."

"But the disturbance just now made by the owner of the villa is too embarrassing for the owner of Wanmen..."

One of the accompanying disciples was cautious and couldn't help but speak. Qi Yuan glanced at Qiao Chongyu who was walking ahead, and asked, "Do you want them to suffer another dark loss tonight?"

"Forget it! There's no need to give them so much thought." Qiao Chongyu laughed and shook his head, raised his hand to brush a long and narrow willow leaf off his shoulder, and then patted the disciple who spoke earlier, "What are you worried about? Let's talk to Wanjimen It's not a day or two for Liang Zi, this kind of small sect, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Qiao Chongyu was in a very good mood, as soon as he entered the city, he was about to go to the Tianfu Tower. None of the five of them could stop them, so they had to watch helplessly as the owner of his family ordered a table of dishes, plus a few jugs of good wine.

Except for Qi Yuan, the other four were all summoned by Yu Jueqing to tell them to keep an eye on the owner of the village and not to drink too much before going out.Seeing that Qiao Chongyu had just finished two mouthfuls of food and then picked up his wine glass to drink it all in one gulp, the four of them stood up and tried to stop him where there was room for them.

"Master, it's better to drink this wine slowly..."

"Drink more slowly?" Qiao Chongyu squinted his eyes, obviously smiling, but deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied, "There's still a lot, can't you drink it until tomorrow? Unless you have a few drinks with me."

He pushed the blame completely away, and the disciples of the villa didn't dare to blame him, so they had to pour wine and drink with Qiao Chongyu.When it was Qi Yuan's turn, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm not good at drinking."

When Qi Yuan spoke, his face was full of sincerity, and others naturally did not suspect him, only Qiao Chongyu glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally when pouring wine.Qiao Chongyu was even more interested when someone accompanied him to drink. After a round of drinking, he filled up again. In a short while, the four pots of wine were drained. He still spoke clearly, patted the table, and ordered to the person next to him: "Come on, do it!" !"

"Uh, yes... yes..."

The disciple who was called stood up staggeringly, held the wine glass with great difficulty, and fell limp before touching his lips, and didn't even notice that he was drenched all over his body with the wine in the glass.The wine glass slid to the ground, first spun around, then was kicked by someone inadvertently, and rolled all the way to the wall——fortunately, a hand stretched out diagonally and stopped it.

At this time, Qiao Chongyu only had one person who seemed sober and one person who was really sober at the table.Seeing that someone picked up the cups for them, Qi Yuan quickly stood up and said, "Thank you."

"It's a trivial matter. But you have to be careful, the shopkeeper has a very fierce temper. If the cup is broken, not only the compensation, but also a scolding."

The person who handed back the porcelain cup was a young man who spoke Mandarin and had a kind appearance.He was talking casually, but suddenly laughed out loud after seeing Qi Yuan clearly: "Yo..."

Qiao Chongyu was dazedly trying to pick up the fish-flavored eggplant, although he didn't realize that the chopsticks actually protruded into the bowl of boiled pork slices.Hearing the laughter, he also raised his head and asked straightforwardly, "What are you laughing at?"

"No, I didn't laugh at anything, I'm sorry." The young man waved his hand, "Everyone take your time, I will take my leave."

After the man finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Qiao Chongyu and Qi Yuan staring wide-eyed.There was no expression on the latter's face, but Qiao Chongyu curled his lips and stuffed the meat slices into the teacup without thinking: "I don't know why."

Qi Yuan saw at a glance that he was also drunk, so he quickly grabbed the chopsticks, called the shopkeeper to pay the bill, and took the table of drunks away—fortunately, the inn was nearby.

Qiao Chongyu didn't wake up until midnight.A half moon outside the window seems to be about to hang on the willow branches, making the willow branches tremble slightly under the pressure.He stared at the willow branches for a while, and then gradually remembered what happened today—however, it was only when he drank the third jug of wine.

He was still thinking, but his head hurt a little, so he had to turn over and close his eyes again.While half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard the sound of a flute outside the window, intermittently, it was somewhat like the tune I heard in the villa before.
