I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Lu Yu carried Lu Dandan and left, Pei Xiang went to the study to read, and after a while, Yu Luocha also followed.

"Want to play chess?"

"Ok."

The two sat down in front of the chessboard and started the fight between black and white pieces.

Pei Xiang dropped a son: "Master Yu, do you really think there is something wrong with Ximenshen's approach?"

Picking up the ice-cold chess piece with her fingertips, Yu Luocha laid out the layout cautiously:

"There is nothing wrong with taking the risk to get hold of it. But he shouldn't hide Feng Yiwei from it, nor should he leave the matter of protecting Feng Yiwei to others."

Pei Xiang groaned for a while, settled down, and said tentatively:

"Shouldn't dangerous situations be avoided from the very beginning? Since Ximenshen learned about the assassination plot in advance, he should take action to solve the reward order of Shaying Pavilion, and he should not let his beloved take any risks."

Yu Luocha smiled calmly: "This is also a solution."

Pei Xiang tilted his head to look at Yu Luocha, and said sweetly:

"If Master Jade is in the position of Master Ximen, how will he handle this matter?"

"I?"

Yu Luocha cleverly stopped Pei Xiang's faint offensive, and said slowly:

"I will discuss this matter with my wife and find the most favorable solution. If it turns out to be unprofitable or too risky, I will directly deal with Han Ning'er, the Shaying Pavilion who dared to accept the reward order Don’t even try to get away easily.”

Pei Xiang was surprised: "Discuss? I thought Master Yu was used to being arbitrary, and he had to make his own decisions about everything."

Yu Luocha looked up at Pei Xiang, and said pointedly:

"I'm really used to making decisions by myself, but the woman I care about is not weak. She has her own ideas and schemes, and she also doesn't like others to make decisions for her, and doesn't like being a dependent. So, even if some things are For her sake, you shouldn't hide it from her."

"Jade Master's statement really surprised me," Pei Xiang sighed sincerely, "I never thought that I would hear such empathetic words from you."

Yu Luocha shook her head and laughed: "Empathetic? This description... sounds strange, but let me think that this is your compliment to me. Pei Xiang, you don't have to be surprised, I can have such an idea, It’s just judging others by yourself. I just need to think about what I like and what I dislike, and I will know what to give you.”

Pei Xiang looked down at the chessboard, avoiding Yu Luocharu's substantial gaze.

"So, if Master Yu encounters a similar incident, he will not calm down a storm silently, nor will he use this to make arrangements and treat everyone as pawns. Instead, he will explain the situation to another party, Let's discuss and decide together how to deal with the next situation?"

Yu Luocha lowered his head and stared at the changes in the chess game. After a while, he decided to temporarily abandon a certain place.

"I do think so."

Pei Xiang slightly opened his eyes wide.

Yu Luocha hooked her lips, her tone was a little lazy:

"Of course, you are the most special one. At other times, I am more used to speaking with one word. Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. I like this sentence."

The most special Pei Xiang didn't feel very honored.

She always kept in mind that there was a reason why Yu Luocha was treating her so special and considerate now.

One day in the future, all the tenderness in this man's eyes will dissipate, he will stare at her coldly and mercilessly, and he will resolutely turn around and leave.

All the beautiful scenery at this time is nothing but an illusion, an experience.

Yu Luocha felt Pei Xiang's vigilance and disapproval, and a little darkness slowly gathered in his eyes, and then slowly dissipated.

"Madam, if you were in Feng Yiwei's position, how would you like this matter to develop?"

Pei Xiang didn't hesitate much, and said directly:

"If it were me, I really hope that the other party will tell me the whole story. It is better to be a sensible person than to be a fool. However, Wanmei Villa... I heard that the previous generation of Wanmei Villa owner and his wife passed away earlier Ximenshen was taken care of by his aunt for several years when he was young, and the relationship between the aunt and nephew has always been harmonious. This time, Ximenshen can make such calculations, and he does not hesitate to use the favor promises made in the past. It is clearly hidden in it.

"I don't know how important this secret is to Ximenshen, but if I love my husband deeply and am prepared to share the joys and sorrows, I will probably agree with the plan to lure the snake out of the hole. Take some small risks and get bigger rewards." Benefits. Of course, the premise of everything is that I take the initiative to take these risks, rather than passively accepting them.”

Yu Luocha said in a deep voice:

"Me too. At the beginning, when I went to look for the pearl of the deep sea for you, you quietly went to the South Sea Sword Sect to buy medicinal materials. After learning about your behavior, I realized that when we get along with you, we should not blindly Take care of you and bear the wind and rain for you.

"It's about treating you as a partner who can fight side by side, giving you a place to share responsibilities, and an opportunity to protect your lover. Only then will you feel peaceful and secure in your life, and feel that a relationship is solid and reliable. Although... I feel a little unaccustomed to your insistence and devotion, but I can understand it."

"This is really unexpected," Pei Xiang thought to himself, "It's too easy for Yu Luocha to please someone. Unfortunately, the candy he gives always has poison hidden in it. Sugar-coated temptation, if you are not careful, you will be heartbroken."

While Pei Xiang and Yu Luocha were playing chess and chatting, in Wanmei Villa, Feng Yiwei stood in front of Ximenshen and withstood Han Ninger's hidden weapon attack for him.

Ximen hugged his wife who was pregnant with Liujia deeply, and finally showed a real panic on his face.

"Yi Wei!"

Ximen didn't even look at Han Ning'er, who was pressed on the ground and struggled, and rushed into the pharmacy with Feng Yiwei in his arms.

Han Ning'er fell to the ground in embarrassment, crying and laughing.

She received a secret letter from her mother this morning, and only then did she know that the matter of her offering a reward order under Lord Shaying had long been exposed.

A few days ago, the reason why my cousin Ximenshen kept holding back was because he planned to use him as an excuse to threaten his mother.

In the letter, Han Ning'er's mother told her that Ximenshen had obtained the key evidence, and asked her aunt to hand over the family sword manual that was taken away at the beginning.

Otherwise, he would announce the collusion between the young lady of the Han family and the Shaying Pavilion, and declare that Wanmei Villa and the Han family had turned against each other, and they would be enemies from then on.

When Han Ning'er read this, she couldn't stop shaking.

She knew the weight of the threat all too well.

Not mentioning the issue of her own reputation, just talking about the fact that Wanmei Villa and the Han family had a bad relationship would make the situation of the mother and daughter in the Han family even more difficult.Father didn't like their mother and daughter very much, if he lost Wanmei Villa's support...

Han Ning'er recalled the conversation with her mother a year ago, and her heart was ashamed.

"Ning'er, the third son of the Liu family has a gentle personality, a good-looking talent, and has always admired you. If you don't agree to this marriage, mother is worried that you will miss out on a good marriage, and you will regret it later."

"Mother, ahem, I won't marry that Young Master Liu..."

When Han Ning'er became emotional, she began to cough violently.She was lying beside the bed, her back was weak and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her off.

Regret flashed in Ximen Wanyan's eyes.This is her only daughter, how could she not know the child's infatuation.

However, if her nephew Ximenshen had any intention of marrying her daughter, she would have actively facilitated the marriage.

"Ning'er..." Ximen Wanyan gently stroked Han Ning'er's back, and waited until her cough stopped before she said slowly, "Don't get excited, talk to your mother carefully, in your heart... yes Are you still unable to let go of your cousin? Want to marry him?"

Han Ning'er smiled wryly: "Mother, what's the use of talking about it now? My cousin is married, and my sister-in-law is... fine. My body is like this. That Mr. Liu is indeed very good, but my The heart is not on him, and the illness on his body is destined to be a drag on others, so why marry to harm others? Mother, I have not lived for a few years, and my family can afford me, so let me be alone. "

Ximen Wanyan's eyes were red: "Who said you can't live for a few years? You are just weaker than ordinary people. If you take good care of yourself and take good care of you, you will definitely live a long life."

Han Ning'er's face was gloomy, and there was not much vitality and joy in his eyes.

Ximen Wanyan looked at her biological daughter who was determined to die, feeling pain and anxiety in her heart.

She knew that the way to rekindle her daughter's desire to survive now was to let her marry Ximenshen.

With the company of a loved one, the daughter will care about her physical condition and work hard to keep herself alive.

"Ning'er, hey, sons and daughters are debts!"

Ximen Wanyan really couldn't bear her daughter's depression, so she finally revealed a secret.

"Ning'er, Mother was fascinated by ghosts and brought something from Ximen's house. If you want to marry Wanmei Villa, I will talk to your cousin. Give him back that thing."

Han Ning'er was very surprised when she heard her mother's words.Under her repeated questioning, Ximen Wanyan told a story about the past.

"At that time, your uncle and aunt died unexpectedly together, and only 12-year-old Ximenshen was left in Ximen's family. Wanmei Villa was full of internal and external troubles at that time, and there were many crises. Although I was a married woman, I was also your cousin's Dear aunt, I went to Wanmei Villa to stay for a while and help with some things."

Hearing this, Han Ning'er nodded: "I remember when I was seven or eight years old, mother, you did leave home for a while."

"In order to prevent thieves from stealing the ancestral sword manual of the Ximen family, I secretly hid the secret book in my pillow, guarding the inheritance every night, without telling anyone. Later, a thief really came to steal it. Cheats, they caught me, took me to the secret room, and forced me to tell the whereabouts of the Cheats, but I never let go. The thief got angry and drew a wound on my cheek."

Having said that, Ximen Wanyan touched the unevenness on her left cheek with a sad expression:

"It's here, and I left a scar later, which is why your father gradually left me in the cold."

Han Ning'er listened intently, and she held her mother's hand.

Ximen Wanyan continued: "At that time, I told myself that everything I did was for Ximen's family, and I was willing. However, when Ximenshen came to rescue me with a large group of guards, I saw him With so many protectors around him, a sense of injustice suddenly arose in his heart.

"Ning'er, my mother was really sad and angry at that time. When the villa was attacked, all these people went to protect Ximenshen, but not many people came to help me. So, when your cousin didn't care about my injury first, but When I anxiously asked about the whereabouts of the secret book, I subconsciously lied and said I didn’t know.”

Hearing this, Han Ning'er's dark eyes suddenly brightened, she stared at Ximen Wanyan closely, hoping that things would develop as she expected.

Ximen Wanyan noticed the change in her daughter's expression, she felt mixed feelings, she sighed:

"Of course your cousin would not suspect me, thinking that the cheat book was stolen by thieves. But I know that the sword manual that has been passed down for generations is not lost, it is actually hidden in my pillow. Later, this I also brought this sword manual to the Han family. I originally thought that before I die, I would quietly return the sword manual to Wanmei Villa, and then take this secret down to meet my parents, brother and sister-in-law."

"Mom, help me!"

Han Ning'er's cheeks blushed unhealthily due to excitement, and she looked at Ximen Wanyan with burning eyes, anxious and paranoid.

When Ximen Wanyan revealed this secret at this time, she naturally made up her mind to fulfill her daughter's feelings.

She straightened her daughter's hair on the sideburns, and promised firmly:

"Since I did something wrong at the beginning, my mother will simply make the mistake to the end. In the future, I will go down to apologize to my parents and elder brother, but when I am alive, I can't just watch my daughter have an accident.

"Ning'er, don't worry, mother will contact your cousin right away. Tell him that if he wants to retrieve the Ximen family's family sword manual and keep the Han family from hearing about it, he must marry you. Treat you well and not neglect you. If he agrees, I will let you marry into Ximen's family with the sword manual."

"Mother, if cousin is threatened like this, will he hate his daughter?"

Ximen Wanyan looked at the hope and anxiety in her daughter's eyes, and her heart was heavy.

——With such a means to marry in, how could Ximenshen have no grudges?

——However, instead of making you feel lifeless, lonely, and even have a desire to die, I would rather you go to the back house of Wanmei Villa to struggle and calculate.

——Ning'er, don't worry, before you get married, I will force Ximenshen to make an oath in the name of his parents that he will not treat you poorly or bully you.

"Silly girl, you are cousins, and you are connected by blood. Even if he is angry with you for a while, he will always see that you are good after a long time. At that time, he will let go of his grudges. Ning'er, listen to your mother, After bringing the sword manual to Ximen's house, don't be in a hurry to give it to your cousin, and don't be in a hurry to have a child. Wait until everything has passed, and then take out the sword manual."

With her mother's promise and teaching, Han Ning'er turned grief into joy.

She knows that there are too many hidden dangers in marrying like this, but she doesn't want to wait any longer. Who knows how many years her body can last?

After that day, although Ximen Wanyan never mentioned the follow-up matters, Han Ning'er knew that if her cousin Ximenshen wanted to get the cheats passed down home, she had to marry her.

Sure enough, not long after that, she heard the news that her cousin and Feng Yiwei had a quarrel.

Hearing that the loving and harmonious couple had quarreled, and Feng Yiwei even left Wanmei Villa in a fit of anger, Han Ning'er was both surprised and delighted.

She thought that her cousin got angry with Feng Yiwei because she wanted to marry her.

So, she happily stayed in her boudoir, waiting for Ximen Shen to come to propose marriage.

However, she waited and waited, and suddenly heard that neither her father, the head of the Han family nor the Feng family in the capital, agreed that Ximenshen would marry Han Ning'er back to Wanmei Villa as a common wife.

Han Ning'er's heart went up and down.

Just when she was in panic all day long, someone whispered in her ear that if Feng Yiwei died, then she would be able to marry into Wanmei Villa smoothly...

After that, everything went smoothly, so smooth that Han Ning'er thought that she and her cousin were destined by heaven.So, even God is helping her.

A counterfeit she picked up at an antique store turned out to be the real thing, and she had a lot of money.

She rescued a person on the way. That person knew the contact code of Shaying Pavilion, and knew how to hide his identity and issue a reward order in Shaying Pavilion.

Step by step, she felt that she was getting closer and closer to her cousin, so close that she couldn't wait any longer, so she took people to Wanmei Villa.

However, what Han Ning'er did not expect was that her good luck suddenly disappeared again.

Feng Yiwei unexpectedly escaped the three assassinations of Shaying Pavilion and survived safely.Not only that, but she is pregnant, and happily acts as the hostess of Wanmei Villa every day.

While Han Ning'er was jealous of Feng Yiwei, she was also worried about her cousin's investigation into the Shaying Pavilion.

In the dead of night, Han Ning'er dragged her sick body to comfort her insomniac self. Shaying Pavilion's great reputation was not easy to investigate.

——Even if, even if my cousin found out about my bad deeds, but Feng Yiwei didn't suffer any harm.

They are cousins ​​who are connected by blood. Even if there is a gap for a while, the relationship can be gradually eased in the future.

——What's more, everything I do is out of my infatuation with my cousin, who always has to soften his heart a bit.

Han Ning'er comforted herself silently, trying to think of some happy things.

She was like an ostrich, who had clearly noticed the danger coming, but stubbornly and stupidly hid her head in the sand.

Finally, a secret letter from Ximen Wanyan destroyed the illusion of weakness that Han Ning'er had constructed for herself.

——It turned out that all of this was deliberately arranged by my cousin.He came up with this strategy after learning that the family sword manual was in the hands of his mother.

——While delaying time, he arranged for someone to trick me into killing Feng Yiwei, and then "helped" me successfully contact Shaying Pavilion.

——It turns out that my cousin has no sympathy for me.

After recognizing some facts, Han Ning'er was heartbroken.

She hated him, she loved him, she resented him, and she suddenly had the urge to die with Ximenshen.

So, she pretended not to know anything, and appeared in front of Ximenshen with a smile.

Looking at his cousin's tenderness when he cared for his wife, Han Ning'er pressed the mechanism of the hidden weapon without hesitation.

She thought she was freed from it.

While alive, she never got him, but they will die together after all.

However, Han Ning'er's last wish did not come true.

The moment the hidden weapon was fired, Feng Yiwei blocked the fatal attack for Ximenshen.

In the pharmacy, Ximen focused on treating Feng Yiwei with a deep expression. He looked very calm and his movements were orderly. Only the clothes soaked in cold sweat revealed his true mood.

"Yiwei, bear with it, the pain will soon be gone."

"Husband, child..."

"The child is fine, Yiwei. As long as you survive, the child will be fine. He is still so young, Yiwei."

Feng Yiwei nodded with a smile.

Simon deeply felt his wife's complete trust, and his heart was a little heavy.

He was taller than Feng Yiwei, and his standing posture was different, so when Han Ninger's hidden weapon landed on Feng Yiwei's body, it happened to miss the fatal position.

It stands to reason that such an injury is not particularly critical, but Feng Yiwei was poisoned once before, and her body has not fully recovered, so this injury is completely worse.

If the treatment is not done properly, both Feng Yiwei and the fetus in her womb will be affected.

——Even, it will affect Yiwei's health and lifespan.

"Husband, I know everything."

"What?" Ximen asked in a low voice, his voice was extremely hoarse.

Feng Yiwei looked at the tension in the depths of Ximen Shen's eyes, and suddenly smiled slightly, with a somewhat erratic tone:

"I know you are afraid, husband, don't be afraid, the child and I will be fine."

Ximen was stunned for a moment, then hummed lightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Yiwei's breathing gradually calmed down. After Ximenshen felt her pulse, she breathed a sigh of relief.

He stared at his sleeping wife, and raised his hand to help her wipe the sweat from her forehead.

--sorry……

——Yiwei, I know you already know, thank you for forgiving me.

——We... will be fine in the future, and I will definitely protect you.

A month later, Ximenshen came to see Yu Luocha.

"Master Yu, is your subpoena true? Does your religion really have the Lingxi Jiuzhuan Pill left by Taoist Huaqing?"

"There is indeed one," Yu Luocha threw the cyan porcelain bottle in his hand to Ximenshen, "As for the authenticity, I think the owner of Ximen should be able to judge for himself."

Ximen pulled out the cork on the porcelain bottle deeply, and poured a black round pill into his hand to observe.

After careful confirmation several times, Ximen Shen's eyes showed ecstasy.

"It is indeed the Lingxi Jiuzhuan Pill of Taoist Huaqing."

Yu Luocha's tone was indifferent: "With this, Madam's health will improve a lot. After giving birth safely, she may live for a few more years."

Ximen frowned deeply: "I will find a way to prolong my wife's life."

Yu Luocha didn't care too much about these things, she just looked at Ximen and said:

"Where's the sword manual? Have you brought it?"

Ximen sighed deeply, took out the sword manual that he had just asked for from his bosom, and handed it to Yu Luocha:

"This is the original copy of the secret book, and there is an identical transcript in Wanmei Villa."

"I just want to read the secret books handed down from generation to generation by the Ximen family, and I don't intend to prevent others from practicing this sword manual."

Ximen breathed a sigh of relief at these words, but then he showed a wry smile:

"This sword manual has been passed down for several generations, and it has extremely high requirements for those who practice it. None of the children in the family are qualified to practice it. I just heard my father say before his death that once he learns the above sword skills, even It’s a smooth road to martial arts, and the fortune in the future will definitely not be small.”

Yu Luocha didn't open the sword manual immediately, but just responded lightly, and then disappeared into the thick night fog.

Ximen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his expression shook, and he quickly rushed towards Wanmei Villa with the porcelain bottle in his hand.

——With Lingxi Jiuzhuan Wan, the fetus will be fine.

——Yiwei's body will definitely improve a lot.

——As long as her condition is stable, I will have time to study ways to prolong her life.

On the other side, Yu Luocha returned to his and Pei Xiang's small courtyard.

There is still light in the bedroom, which means that Pei Xiang has not fallen asleep yet.

Yu Luocha pushed the door open and entered, seeing Pei Xiangyi reading a book on the bed, he handed over the newly obtained sword manual.

"This is..." Pei Xiang opened the yellowed paper and was immediately attracted by the contents inside.

After a while, Pei Xiang closed the sword manual in his hand again, and looked up at the tall and tall Jade Raksha, with a very complicated expression.

Yu Luocha pointed to the sword manual and said: "I exchanged it with Master Ximen. This sword manual is from the same source as the one you practiced before. It is said that one is upright and the other is strange. They were written by masters from the same sect. Brothers."

Pei Xiang's eyes showed surprise: "Haven't you read the content inside?"

Yu Luocha shook his head: "This is specially found for you, I didn't look through it in advance. However, the news I just told you should be true."

Pei Xiang nodded: "It is indeed true, and not only that. This sword manual is simply the opposite reference of that unknown sword manual. Well, it is like Yin and Yang poles, which are different from each other and interdependent and transformed. These two swords Comparing the spectrum, Ximen's book is "Zheng", which is the bright and upright way of swordsmanship, and the book we both saw before is "Qi", full of variables and mysteries, with a kind of magic."

Interest flashed across Yu Luocha's eyes, but he still hadn't picked up the sword manual to read it.

"Since this is the case, then you should study it carefully. The combination of the right and the odd will always make your swordsmanship go further."

Pei Xiang was a little puzzled: "Don't you watch?"

Yu Luocha shook his head again: "Pei Xiang, I know your heart knot, I know what you are worried about, you are worried... one day I break through the bottleneck, and I will hurt you in return. This is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored, because even I can't even guarantee what will happen in the future.

"So, I just found this sword manual for you. I hope you can catch up with me before I break through. At that time, no matter whether I will become cold-hearted or not, you will have the capital to protect yourself."

Pei Xiang's heart moved slightly. To be honest, Yu Luocha's soft words these days are not as good as these few words tonight to please her.

"Have you made up your mind?" Pei Xiang confirmed again.

Yu Luocha's brows were peaceful and calm, with a faint intoxicating smile on his lips:

"I've made up my mind. Only when your strength improves, can you stay with me with peace of mind and not contradict my feelings."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows, and there was an unusually bright look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Luocha sighed with a low laugh: "I know you won't trust me easily, but you will trust your own strength. When you are fearless, you are willing to open your heart and accept me."

Pei Xiang gently touched the sword manual in his hand, then touched his stomach, and suddenly realized that Yu Luocha might have made a loss-making business.

——Although I know what you said is right, but when I am fearless, my choices become wider...
