Still pity the grass and trees

Somehow this matter got out, and when it was time to light the lanterns, the whole house heard about what Xie Wufeng and Mingyan were doing in the garden.The girls and servants gathered together in twos and threes, whispering and discussing.There are those who don't believe it, such as Qing Luo who serves Xie Wufeng, who keeps shaking her head to argue: "I must have misunderstood, Mr. Xie is not such a frivolous person, he usually talks to me, he is very polite!"

Her words have little power, and few believers.Luluo sneered, "He naturally doesn't like your ordinary looks."

After being threatened by Xie Wufeng, Luluo didn't dare to gossip in front of Ji Tanyin anymore, and even found an excuse to change jobs with Xiaoyu, who works in the kitchen.At the moment, people were talking too much, and they became more courageous, so they couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Wu Changke is always romantic. You probably don't know a story about him and Miss Ren Chengwen?"

In this way, the hearsay fragments were exaggerated.

Xiaoyu felt wronged for Ji Tanyin: "If Mr. Ji knew about today's absurd thing, how sad he would be!"

"There's nothing to be sad about," the boy in charge of carrying water didn't care, and laughed at the sentimental girls, "Young master is naughty, and he jokingly called Mrs. Mistress, you take it seriously. Two men, how is it possible!"

Luluo let out a disdainful snort again, everyone looked at her, saw her inscrutable look, thought she knew something hidden, and urged her to tell the truth.

Luluo's mouth moved, remembering the feeling of the Chensha sword lying on the side of her neck, she shuddered, she didn't dare to make a mistake, and said vaguely: "You pay attention to it!"

At dinner, neither Ji Tanyin nor Xie Wufeng showed up, and the two sets of bowls and chopsticks were lying empty.Li Conning was devoting himself to being the leader of the alliance, so he didn't care about these trivial matters. It was Li Chengyang who found out that there were fewer people, so he called Gui San to ask.

Gui San touched his nose: "I sent someone to invite me, but I won't come."

Li Chengyang knew there was something else going on, and asked, "Did the two have a conflict?"

Gui San was in a difficult situation, thinking that it was inappropriate to casually talk about the young master's friends, and it was hard to talk about it, he was hesitating when there was a commotion outside, and then he heard Li Congning calling for his eldest son.

"Tell me later." Li Chengyang patted him on the shoulder, and hurriedly went outside to welcome the distinguished guests.

These days, because of deep lovesickness, Li Chengyang was often reprimanded by his father, after thinking hard, decided to change his strategy, try his best to please his parents, and begged them to go to the Zhai family to propose marriage after the martial arts conference was over.

With this abacus in mind, he pulled himself together and greeted the visiting uncle with a very respectful gesture.

Those who came to the banquet today included Ming Biaohua from Xiyan Mountain Villa, Hu Han from the Zisong Society, and Fang Lang, the leader of the Beggar Gang. They are all well-known figures in the martial arts world. , showed a considerable gap.

Both Ming Biaohua and Hu Han had gray hair. One of them broke his left hand, making it difficult for him to live. The other's meridians flowed backwards after suffering from Ye Mo's poisonous palm.Fang Lang, the leader of the Beggar Gang, is the oldest among them. Because of the years of fighting openly and secretly among his brothers, he has already been physically and mentally exhausted, and he is old.

Among the group of people, only Li Conning and Wan Kezhang who sat with him were the most energetic and energetic.Ming Biaohua and Hu Han looked left and right, both felt desolate, complimented Li Conning a few words, and secretly lamented the changing situation.

Li Congning took advantage of it, and called his son forward to toast the seniors, seemingly casually asking: "Have you invited everyone from Xuandaomen?"

Except for Wan Kezhang, who was not a person who had experienced the storm, he talked about him from left to right, and covered the topic with a smile.Li Congning didn't force him to ask, but turned his head to see his eldest son standing aside imposingly, courteous and knowing how to advance and retreat, he couldn't help being deeply satisfied, and even imagined the scene where Li Chengyang would take over as the leader in a hundred years.

A few days ago, she was stunned by the daughter of the Zhai family, but now it seems that she has gradually regained consciousness.Li Conning would never marry Zhai Yu, so he was delighted to hear about his son's change. At this moment, he caught sight of Ming Biaohua sighing softly, and suddenly had a thought, and asked, "Brother Ming, is your jewel in the palm married?"

He calculated that if he married Ming Biaohua, he would not only be able to get his help in the position of leader, but also find a wife of a good family for his son, which would kill two birds with one stone.

Li Chengyang was pouring wine for Fang Lang, when he heard that his hands trembled, and the wine dripped onto the table.Li Conning frowned, but Fang Lang was kind and said humorously: "The young guard must be tired after standing for a long time, so go down and have a rest. We old bones, it's not good for you young talents to serve you."

Li Chengyang smiled at him stiffly, put down the jug, ignored his father's expression, and walked straight out of Jingdexuan.

"Young Master!" Gui San jumped out from the bushes, slapped the ashes on his body, and asked, "Is the banquet over?"

Li Chengyang didn't have the mood to reply, he took a breath in his heart, and strode into the garden.It wasn't until he reached the edge of the pine forest that he suddenly stopped, and said to Gui San who was following panting behind him: "I want to see Miss Di, is there a way?"

Guisan was his playmate since he was a child, and the two had a close relationship. Li Chengyang knew that he had the most tricks, so he only trusted him in this matter.

Gui San didn't immediately agree, and asked curiously, "See Miss Zhai, what are you doing?"

"What do you care?" Li Chengyang first glanced at him arrogantly, then bowed his head and sighed melancholy.Rows of tall trees looked down upon him eeriely in the night. "I just want to see her, talk to her, and ask her if she treats me... If the two are really happy, I... I, I don't want this Xiongtu Escort! I will take her away, we will go far away Yes, to a place where no one—”

He raised his voice higher and higher, as if venting his dissatisfaction. Gradually, the picture really appeared in front of his eyes, a stream in the dense forest, a thatched hut by the stream, a couple living an ordinary life inside, and a couple boiling on the stove. pot of tea...

"My young master!" Gui San was anxious to cover Li Chengyang's mouth with his dirty hands, "You can keep your voice down! Do you know that walls have ears? If you hear it in the master's ears, he won't ground you anymore!"

Li Chengyang shut up embarrassingly, looked around, as if trying to save face, said coldly: "There is no one else here."

"Then who knows?" Guisan spoke quickly, and said everything at once, "The deeds of Mr. Xie and Miss Mingyan in the garden today are all spread!"

Li Chengyang didn't react at first, and asked after a while: "Who? Xie Wufeng and Mingyan?"

There was no light in the room, and it was groggy.Xie Wufeng leaned softly, shaking the flagon in his hand.There was no sound at all, and the wine was all gone.He curled his lips in a dull manner, and threw the jug away with a "bang".

"Thank you Wufeng!" Someone came aggressively and kicked the door open.

He didn't move, just leaned on the couch like a boneless one, looking at a lantern of the visitor indifferently.

"You want to be shameless? My junior brother treats you wholeheartedly, yet you did such a thing!" Li Chengyang stood in the middle of the room and yelled at him. All kinds of troubles today, all of them broke out through this excuse.

Xie Wufeng glanced at him impatiently: "Then what do you want?"

Li Chengyang choked up for a moment, in fact he was inexperienced, after hearing Guisan's words, he got excited and recklessly came to Xie Wufeng to settle accounts.I didn't think about how to solve the matter. In short, it is always right to scold Xie Wufeng severely.Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of repentance, but instead asked him what to do. "You are not allowed to pester my junior brother again," Li Chengyang thought for a while, then added with righteous indignation, "Get out of Xiongtu Escort!"

He stood there, a little unconsciously nervous, for fear that Xie Wufeng would suddenly draw his sword.If he really wants to fight, he has no chance of winning.It's also strange, Li Chengyang murmured in his heart, obviously he was the one who was reasonable, yet he still felt untenable when he met a brazen person like Xie Wufeng.

Xie Wufeng stood up and asked, "Where is Ah Yin?"

Li Chengyang stared at him fiercely: "You still hypocritically ask him what he is doing? Get lost, that's what he meant!"

Xie Wufeng stood there for a while, the light was dim, and there were a few mischievous strands of hair covering his eyebrows and eyes, so he couldn't tell what kind of expression he was.After a while, he said "OK" and went to the cabinet to pack his luggage.Li Chengyang stood guard at the side, glaring at him angrily, seeing that he was about to step out of the room, he still couldn't help asking: "You don't have much to explain?"

Xie Wufeng glanced at him, and said calmly, "I'm too lazy to explain to you."

Li Chengyang was here to train people, but he was really angry.Walking to the wing where Ji Tanyin lived, he saw a small figure in the veranda, tiptoeing into the crack of the door. "Cheng Yi," Li Chengyang called him, "why don't you go for dinner?"

"Brother!" Li Cheng hugged his waist and said in a low voice, "I ate too much sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the afternoon, and my mother won't let me have dinner."

Li Chengyang pinched his younger brother's soft face, and glanced into the dark room.

Li Cheng also asked: "Brother, is Brother Xiao Ji in the house? I called him, but he didn't answer."

Li Chengyang pushed open the door and told his younger brother: "Ask Xiaoyu to light the lamp."

Sitting on the chair by the window, Ji Tanyin had heard the movement of the brothers a long time ago. Seeing Li Chengyang coming in, she greeted him: "Brother."

"What's the matter? I didn't see you at dinner."

Ji Tanyin didn't say anything, but Li Chengyang knew why he asked, so he coughed twice embarrassedly, and said: "Don't worry, I have taught him a lesson for you and kicked him out of the house."

"Did you get kicked out?" Ji Tanyin jumped off the chair, "Brother, you can't drive him out!"

The martial arts conference is about to be held, and the city of Xiangyang is full of black and white heroes.Wu Changke has traveled the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he has made quite a few enemies, and there are people who seek revenge from him in Xiangyang City.Xie Wufeng stayed in the bodyguard bureau, and his life was safe and clean. If he stayed outside, once he met such a tough enemy as last time, after the fierce fight, his body's true energy would be exhausted, and the poison of the demon tree would break out, but it would be broken.

Li Chengyang taught with a straight face: "You still speak for him?"

"These are two things, he..." Because of the promise, Ji Tanyin refused to tell the story of Xie Wufeng's body being poisoned, and murmured: "You really shouldn't drive him out."

Li Chengyang said sharply: "You are thinking about yourself, see how he bullied you?"

Ji Tanyin was silent for a while, "He didn't bully me much."

"No bullying? I've seen it with my own eyes! Didn't he already humiliate you..." Li Chengyang's tongue was tied, and he burst out a word for a long time, "I've humiliated you a long time ago!"

Ji Tanyin felt awkward, but luckily the room was dark, which concealed his embarrassment. "Brother, don't talk so badly. At that time... I did it voluntarily. Besides, he just kissed and touched..."

The voice became lower and lower, Li Chengyang was silent for a while, unbelievable: "That's it?"

"What else?" Ji Tanyin looked at him in confusion and ignorance, and suddenly remembered the "another way of playing" that failed to come true one night, his eyes widened, "No...no more."

Li Chengyang didn't believe that the old fox Xie Wufeng would let go of his mouthful of stupid meat, only when Ji Tanyin was embarrassed, he stopped pressing him.

Ji Tanyin begged him: "Senior brother, please get him back. I'm afraid he's in danger."

"What danger, isn't he the number one sword in the world!" Li Chengyang scolded him, "Besides, you care about his life? From now on, he has nothing to do with you, you two are separated! You are separated, you know?"

At this time, Li Cheng also came with his maid Xiaoyu, and the two of them stopped talking.A lamp was lit in the room, and the warm light diluted the intense emotions. Li Chengyang exhaled, feeling much calmer.Turning to look at Ji Tanyin, meeting a pair of red eyes, she couldn't help but soften her tone: "Crying?"

"Brother Xiao Ji is crying!" Li Cheng also jumped forward bluffing, grabbing the hem of Ji Tanyin's clothes to see his embarrassment.

Ji Tanyin's voice was hoarse: "I didn't cry."

Li Cheng also refused to let go: "Then why are your eyes red?"

Ji Tanyin pinched his chin, and pushed his face to the other side: "It's just like Mammy won't let you eat osmanthus cake, hold back."

"Cheng Yi," Li Chengyang pulled his younger brother to his side, and said to Ji Tanyin: "You should rest. Do you want to ask the kitchen to make some porridge?"

Ji Tanyin shook his head and sent them to the door of the room, his wet eyes kept falling on Li Chengyang.Li Chengyang's heart softened, and he sighed: "Okay, I promise you, I will find some red-headed bodyguards to follow him tomorrow, if there is any danger, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Ji Tanyin heaved a sigh of relief, shook Li Chengyang's arm, without any blood on his face, and said softly, "Thank you, senior brother."
