Nine swords

The arena was extremely quiet for a while, and there was a sense of dignity of "swords being drawn" - all of a sudden, everyone felt as if there was a sword energy lingering between the sky and the earth, the flowers faded, and the residual leaves fluttered. This is definitely what the top masters are about to do precursor...

However, a certain Ninth Young Master with a large peony flower printed on his clothes, who "does not know whether to live or die", still smiled and said to Ximen Chuuxue: "I have been sick in bed for a few days ago, and I have not been able to see the owner face to face." , What a pity! Seeing the demeanor of the owner today, he is really good in appearance. I am very happy, and I should understand it!" He patted Ye Gucheng on the shoulder boldly and said, "Let's go, I heard that Ximen The owner is proficient in wine making, we must have a good drink tonight, and we will not go home until we are drunk!"

Gong Jiu finished talking on his own, ignoring the eyeballs and chin that fell off the ground, dragged Ye Gucheng and walked into Wanmei Villa, his familiar look was really impressive Toothache and stomachache.

The old housekeeper and servants of Wanmei Villa have almost turned into petrification. What did they hear?This playboy actually teased their owner in public, saying that "the appearance is excellent, I am very happy", and that he would "not return home without getting drunk"... This, does this person think that their Wanmei Villa is equivalent to "Peony Pavilion" , "Youlan Garden" and the like, is it a flower house? !What's more serious is that Gong Jiu even praised Ximen Chuuxue for being "proficient in wine making"-although their owner is indeed good at brewing wine, but seeing a peerless swordsman for the first time, shouldn't normal people praise the owner's swordsmanship?

Where did this guy come from? !

Ximen Chuuxue was obviously also "shocked" by Gong Jiu. Perhaps in his imagination, the person who can catch Ye Gucheng's sword move without dying should be a bit of a master...how could it be Like this...Seeing that Gong Jiu was pulling Ye Gucheng's sleeve and was about to enter his villa, Ximen Chuuxue finally opened his mouth under the "hope of everyone", and said, "Gong Jiu?"

Gong Jiu turned around and said with a smile: "It's just that, hey, owner Ximen, let's go in first. Standing at the gate and talking like this, I'm really tired." He waved his hand again and said "Master, you are fine with everything, but you are too polite. There is no need for you to come out to greet me in person. It would be better to set up a banquet in the courtyard and invite some beautiful ladies to come."

"..." Ximen Chuuxue looked at Ye Gucheng silently, and all the servants of Wanmei Villa also looked at Ye Gucheng silently.

Ye Gucheng resisted the urge to stroke his forehead and sigh, and cursed in his heart: Gong Jiu!Dead pervert!What are you crazy about?It's okay to lose face in front of me, but to actually come to Wanmei Villa to lose face... I want to blush for you!

But at this moment, what else can Ye Gucheng do other than "pretend to be profound"?So he also looked at Ximen Chuuxue, nodded lightly and said: "Why don't you go inside and talk in detail?"

After a moment of silence, Ximen Chuuxue slowly nodded and turned to lead the way.The butler's attendants dispersed in an orderly manner, and went about what they should do.But those eyeballs still sticking to Gong Jiu's body... Maybe they want to witness Gong Jiu's "tragic end" after being poked out a few holes.

The three of them walked through the courtyard, Gong Jiu was looking around and pointing all the way, saying something like "should we add a few more stone benches here, that rockery should be moved" and so on, Ye Gucheng He and Ximen Chuuxue have been silent all the time, but Ye Gucheng "gloated" and found worriedly... Ximen Chuuxue's hand has already grasped the hilt of the sword... Could this be the legendary "love rivals meet, extremely jealous"?

Then they walked into the exquisite corridor, at this time a new problem appeared, when Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue walked side by side, Gong Jiu could only follow behind, this obviously made Jiu Gongzi very dissatisfied, and said : "Owner, this corridor of yours should be made wider, it can't even accommodate three people side by side, it's really shameless!"

Ximen Chuuxue stopped suddenly, and Gong Jiu didn't know if it was intentional or if he really didn't react, and bumped into Ximen Chuuxue's back, then took two steps back, covered his nose, and said sullenly: "Master, , You should have told me before you stopped, ouch, my nose is about to fall off."

The corners of Ye Gucheng's mouth finally couldn't help twitching, Ximen Chuixue's cold eyes slashed across Gong Jiu like a sharp knife, and then said coldly: "In this world, there is a kind of person who should be killed the most."

Gong Jiu showed a very interested expression and asked, "Which kind of person?"

Ximen Chuixue said coldly: "A long-winded person." His hand was already tightened on the hilt of the sword.

Ye Gucheng stared at Gong Jiu speechlessly, and thought to himself: I told you to be a pervert, it seems that a few more holes are going to be added this time, don't blame brother for not helping you...

At this time, the attendants of Wanmei Villa in the courtyard outside the corridor stopped sweeping the floor, and stopped walking. They all stared at the corridor—how could such a superb person die?A sword piercing the heart, or a sword piercing the mouth? !

Unexpectedly, Gong Jiu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in praise: "Yes, yes, yes, the owner's opinion! That Lu Xiaofeng is, he is so noisy all day long, I really wish I could ask him to take a trick of flying immortals from outside the sky." Everyone was almost overwhelmed: Lu Xiaofeng But far less old than you!But Ye Gucheng felt that Gong Jiu's words seemed to mean something.

Ximen Chuixue paused, and asked, "You can make immortals fly from outside the sky?"

The others also pricked up their ears, they were already very curious, what is the origin of this strange thing called Gong Jiu?And what is the relationship between Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng, which can actually make Master Ye's unique move?

However, Gong Jiu put on an expression of "Are you stupid?" and said, "Of course I can't, but Ah Cheng can!"

"..." Ximen Chuuxue looked at Ye Gucheng silently again, and all the servants of Wanmei Villa looked at Ye Gucheng with expressions that were about to faint—Acheng... Could this guy be shouting? Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City?Lu Xiaofeng didn't even dare to call their owner A Xue!

Ye Gucheng looked back at Ximen Chuuxue calmly, but in fact he felt as if something had fallen into his stomach, stirring it up and down endlessly... Acheng or something, it was...he was hallucinating...

But Ximen Chuuxue seems to understand something, since he can have a troublesome friend like Lu Xiaofeng, then Ye Gucheng can also have a long-winded friend like Gong Jiu - he moved his hand from the hilt of his sword and said: " Please." After that, Ximen Chuuxue turned around and walked quickly to the hall... If he was slower, I'm afraid he really couldn't help but make a move: and the reason why he couldn't help it was of course For Ye Gucheng's sake.

If Ye Gucheng knew what Ximen Chuuxue was thinking, he would probably say: This kind of friend really does not matter... Ximen, you can do as much as you want, don't hesitate...

However, Gong Jiu was quite satisfied with Ximen Chuuxue's "awareness". He took a few steps forward, put his arm on Ye Gucheng's shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Ah Cheng, don't be in a daze, let's follow." Should Ye Gucheng and Ye Gucheng walk side by side, behind the two white-clothed swordsmen or something—that is definitely not the position that Jiu Gongzi should be in!

Ye Gucheng silently reminded himself: Keep your image, don’t show your secrets; keep calm, don’t go crazy... The world is beautiful, but I’m so irritable, it’s not good, it’s not good...

After going through "untold hardships" and hearing "thousands of words", the three finally walked to the hall and took their seats.At this time, Gong Jiu's "abnormal episode" seemed to have finally come to an end. He sat down gracefully, took a sip of tea gracefully, and praised with a light smile: "The taste is strong and fragrant, Really good tea."

Gong Jiu's demeanor and temperament seemed to have undergone a major change in an instant. His elegant demeanor did not appear to be artificial and awkward at all, but was as comfortable as flowing clouds and flowing water, and also carried a sense of nobility, as if he was originally He should be such an aristocratic son, but the upstart guy who was "garishly dressed", "outspoken" and "reckless" just now was just everyone's illusion...even the one on Gong Jiu's body... The outer robe covered with red peonies seems to have been upgraded several grades in an instant, which will only make people feel unrestrained and uninhibited, and it no longer feels "vulgar".

The well-informed old butler stood behind Ximen Chuixue and secretly looked at Gong Jiu, feeling more and more unpredictable about this person: With his eyesight, it was only at this time that he realized that the peony flowers on Gong Jiu's clothes were not printed. It's embroidered, but it's embroidered—it's just embroidered with almost no stitches and is so dense that it looks like it's printed... The embroiderer is definitely a master of martial arts, and he is also good at embroidery. How much is it worth? !

Although the maid who added tea did not have as good eyesight as the butler, she was completely stunned by Gong Jiu's huge change. Seeing that the tea was about to overflow, Gong Jiu flicked her sleeve and swept across the maid's wrist to stop it. She continued to pour tea, then smiled gently, and said: "The people around the owner of Ximen must be well-informed, so they are also attracted by this young master's demeanor? It's a great honor." The old butler quickly glared at the maid, who blushed and hurriedly backed away.

Afterwards, Gong Jiu was so normal that he couldn't be more normal, he stopped talking, just sipped tea quietly, and Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue were obviously not the kind of talkative people, so... it was so cold.

After the three of them "stared" for a while, Ye Gucheng finally felt a deep feeling of "defeated": Gong Jiu, Gong Jiu... you have to say something when you shouldn't be talking. Heap, stop talking when it's time to talk, what the hell is going on!Ye Gucheng suddenly felt that his idea of ​​"comparing Gong Jiu and Ximen Chuuxue together" was really terrible.

Fortunately, there is also an old butler who is very good at watching people and proficient in rescue—he follows a master like Ximen Chuuxue, even if he doesn't know rescue at the beginning, he will understand in the end, otherwise he may not be able to get along... Just listen to him He smiled kindly and said: "The two honored guests have come from a long distance, they must have been exhausted, why don't we take a rest and freshen up, and then our owner will host a banquet in the evening, what do you think the honored guests would like?"

Gong Jiu nodded politely, and said: "In this way, I will be in charge of the housekeeper." After speaking, he stood up, cupped his hands at Ximen Chuuxue, and said, "I hope the owner will not be offended by disturbing the cleanliness of the owner."

"..." Ximen Chuuxue continued to remain silent, probably... He also suffered some shocks today, is it true that the peerless swordsman's friends are all miraculous? !

Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng went down to the guest room led by the maid, Ye Gucheng kept his face cold, wishing that Gong Jiu didn't exist at all; but Gong Jiu didn't mind, still tugging on Ye Gucheng's sleeve with a smile Can't get rid of it...So after returning to the guest room, Ye Gucheng made up his mind: he must never go out before dinner, he is abnormal or something...I really knelt down!

Ye Gucheng didn't leave the room, Ximen Chuuxue disappeared, Gong Jiu changed back into a white dress embroidered with silver patterns after washing up, and started strolling in Wanmei Villa in a chic and unrestrained manner——Walking like this, I met When Sun Xiuqing arrived, Gong Jiu's eyes lit up in a flash, very bright!

"Although there are no plum blossoms in Wanmei Villa, there are beautiful women like flowers, which is really pleasing to the eye."
