Jade flute sounds far

On the second day of the return journey, they stayed at the post station as usual.Qiao Chongyu complained about having a headache all morning, but at night she didn't change her mind. She glanced at the light food on the table and curled her lips: "Brother Qi, order me another pot of wine."

"No."

Qi Yuan was pouring hot tea into the cup for him, when he heard this, he frowned, and even retorted without thinking.Seeing this, the other four people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took turns to fight, and finally made Qiao Chongyu give up the idea of ​​drinking, and picked up the chopsticks muttering: "It's fine if they were bribed by Jueqing, why don't you let me drink?" ..."

Qi Yuan didn't answer the conversation anymore, instead he picked up a few chopsticks of vegetables and put them into his bowl.Naturally, the food at the post station was far less than yesterday's Tianfu Building, and thinking that it would be more difficult to drink alcohol after returning to the villa tomorrow, Qiao Chongyu lost his appetite after eating [-]% full, and was full of thoughts about the Dragon Boat Festival.

You can drink realgar wine at the Dragon Boat Festival.Not only that, the two water gangs around Jingyi Villa will also send gifts in late April, including food and wine.

"The Nusha gang gave us fifty jars of good wine last year, and the Jinlin gang also gave us twenty jars." Qiao Chongyu leaned under the tree and counted with Qi Yuan, looking salivating, "There are still a lot of fried wine. The cooked small fish and shrimp, wrapped in oiled paper, are fragrant and crispy, just right for wine."

He said a lot in one breath, but Qi Yuan never spoke, just stood two steps away and looked at him.The weather was fine today, the clouds above the head gathered and drifted away, sprinkled half of the gauze-like sunlight, and brought along mottled tree shadows, all projected on the swordsman.

Qiao Chongyu couldn't help but walked over and tugged Qi Yuan's face.

"Brother Qi has such a handsome face, it's a pity not to smile a lot." He was not strong, and Qi Yuan didn't break away, so he forced himself to make a funny smile, "Since Qi Yuan Brother entered my Jingyi Villa, and half of the followers of the owner of the villa have defected..."

"Master!"

Yu Jueqing hurried in and saw the two of them pause, but still reported the truth: "The people who transported the festival gifts of the Nusha Gang were detained by the Wanji Gate a few days ago, and only two escaped. They just sent the news to .My father is already waiting for you to discuss in the main hall."

Said to be a discussion, in fact, the answer is also obvious.The Nusha and Jinlin gangs have always been friends with Jingyi Villa, and the ones who were stopped were those who came to give gifts. A blind person can see who the Wanji Gate is targeting.

"It's just that the Wanji Gate has been suppressed by our villa for decades. It is said that the talents have withered early. I don't know what happened this year. They provoked it again and again."

After listening to Li Junchuan's words, Qiao Chongyu sat in the main seat and couldn't help but sneered: "What else could it be? The dog jumps over the wall. Senior brother Li, please take a few senior brothers to Wanji gate tomorrow to get rid of the angry sand. The gang and Li have to come back, I don't believe Wan Gufeng can stop you."

"Let me go." Yu Dongjie interrupted suddenly, "Although the Wanji Sect is in the wrong, after all, only the Nusha Gang and ourselves know about it. Let's be courteous before fighting. If the master of Wangu's majestic sect still insists on tearing his face apart, it's okay to deal with them again." It's not too late. It's good for Junchuan to stay in the village, and Qing'er will go with me."

"Then listen to Master Yu's arrangement."

Qiao Chongyu was in a hurry to make a decision, discussed and decided on the list of disciples who would go together, yawned and left.Qi Yuan was guarding the door, and when he saw him coming out, he followed behind, and the two walked back to Qiao Chongyu's residence one after the other.

"I hope that the jar of good wine sent by the Nusha Gang will not be ruined by that yin and yang guy like Wan Gufeng."

Grandmaster Bo Yudong was outstanding, Qiao Chongyu was naturally relieved in every possible way, but thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony had been closed at the Wanji Gate for a few days, he was unavoidably worried: "Tell me, if you come back to worry about Wan Gufeng poisoning the wine, don't let me drink, what should I do?"

"Is the owner so worried about the wine from the Nusha Gang?"

"That's it," Qiao Chongyu didn't look back, and naturally didn't notice the flickering smile in the eyes of the person behind him. He just walked along with a sad face and said, "Brother Qi, have you heard of the Nusha Gang before? They The stronghold is close to Luzhou, and the wine there is a must.”

"Slightly heard."

"As the saying goes, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. When Uncle Yu comes back tomorrow, before the Dragon Boat Festival, I will open an altar for you to taste."

At this time, there were still dozens of days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Qiao Chongyu suddenly thought of such an idea of ​​opening the altar for drinking in advance, and immediately beamed with joy.But immediately he remembered what Qi Yuan said in Tianfu Tower before, and couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Speaking of which, are you really not good at drinking?"

"really."

"I don't believe it." He winked and smiled, "Unless—Brother Qi is some kind of goblin, and he will reveal his original shape when he drinks."

This time he finally didn't miss the smile on Qi Yuan's face.The other party's original sharp eyebrows gradually stretched under Qiao Chongyu's gaze, and the sentence he uttered was also joking: "The owner of the village knows the details."

When Jing Yue rushed into the courtyard to report the next day, Qiao Chongyu was adding millet to his newly captured thrush.Hearing a mess of footsteps from a distance, Qi Yuan was about to go out to check, when he saw Jing Yue rushing in with a panicked face, knocking Sanqi to the ground beside him.

"Master, something is wrong!" He saluted sloppily, and reported out of breath, "Elder Yu and the others came back just now, but for some reason, everyone was injured, especially Elder Yu..."

"how come?!"

Qiao Chongyu shook his hand, and half a bag of millet fell to the ground, attracting a group of sparrows to pounce on it.He walked out, and when he heard Jing Yue and Qi Yuan following him, he asked without looking back, "Where is he?"

"Elder Yu has already been sent back to the room, and the rest are in the hall..."

"Go to Master Yu first!"

Qiao Chongyu ran towards Yu Dongjie's residence step by step, but there was silence on the way, and his heart was empty, without any emotion.Jing Yue never likes to joke, and this kind of thing can't be used to deceive people... But how can a mere Wanji Gate cause Yu Dongjie, who is an elder, to return home with a serious injury?

He finally heard the noise, which turned from small to loud, mixed with the sound of chaotic footsteps, the sound of objects colliding, and the crying of disciples, dragging him into the courtyard he had been familiar with since childhood like a whirlpool.All of Yu Dongjie's disciples gathered over. The eldest disciple Li Junchuan was guarding the door. When he saw Qiao Chongyu, he called out "Villa Master", his voice was already hoarse.

"Just now Doctor Sun has fed a life-extending pill, and I don't know if I can make it through..."

The unrealistic sense of emptiness on the road just now dissipated the moment Qiao Chongyu stepped into the room. He saw Yu Jueqing kneeling beside the bed with a large amount of blood staining his shirt and cuffs.Yu Dongjie lay on his back on the bed, his face was like gold paper, when he saw Qiao Chongyu approaching, his lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, this old man is useless, I'll embarrass you..."

"What did Uncle Yu say!" Qiao Chongyu only felt that the voice that came out didn't sound like his own. He held Yu Dongjie's hand in a panic, gathered himself together, and stuffed all his doubts back into his belly first, trying his best Wen Sheng said, "You rest for a few days, and tomorrow I will bring more people to clean up—"

"No way!"

He was interrupted by Yu Dongjie before he finished speaking, his hand was held backwards, and he felt cold: "Wanjimen is different now, we are careless. Nusha Gang... Don't mention the matter of Nusha Gang for now. "He said a lot of words in one breath, and his voice gradually weakened: "It's a pity that Junior Brother Tang is not here... If he is still...we won't..."

Qiao Chongyu pursed his lips and remained silent until Yu Dongjie fell into a complete coma before letting go of his hands and backing away from the bed, turning to ask Yu Jueqing, "What's going on?"

"Everyone thinks that Wanji is not good enough, but when they argue, they seem to have figured out the tricks of the mirror fist. Every time I make a move, I can be stopped halfway." Yu Jueqing said with red eyes. Kneeling on the spot, hearing the question, he answered dejectedly, "But father was on par with Wan Gufeng, and it's because I'm not good at learning, so he was tricked to protect me on the way."

"How could this be..."

It was dusk when I finally walked out of the room, and the warm yellow edge of the setting sun flickered for the last time on the edge of the eaves of Jingyi Villa, even if it disappeared completely.Qiao Chongyu's mind was still in a mess, and he almost missed when he raised his foot. Fortunately, a hand stretched out beside him and said, "Be careful."

It's Qi Yuan.

Qiao Chongyu wished she could go back to her yard and pretend to be dead, but she still went to the main hall to visit the wounded disciples.There was a mournful sound in the main hall, and he tried to comfort him with a few words, which made him feel ridiculous, so he couldn't help standing up and going out the door.

"At Master Yu's place earlier, Jueqing told me that when they went to the Wanji Gate today, the other party seemed to have figured out the tricks of my mirror boxing in Jingyi Villa, and there is a way to restrain each move." He whispered After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Qi Yuan, "What do you think, Brother Qi?"

"Tricks are dead things after all."

"I also understand this truth. After all, we underestimated the enemy this time. If the whole village goes all out, Wanjimen should not be able to please them."

As twilight deepened, candles were lit in the house, making the outside even darker.Qi Yuan stared at Qiao Chongyu's half-brows and eyes illuminated by the firelight inside the window, and saw that the other party frowned and murmured: "But where does the Wanji Gate come from..."

Qi Yuan turned his head to look at the dark courtyard.

"The subordinates have no clue."
