I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi didn't know about it, but as soon as they landed, someone noticed their whereabouts.

It wasn't because the two lacked Jianghu experience or lack of vigilance, but because those who followed were not deliberately following and snooping.They are ordinary people who are busy making a living in the corners and alleys, restaurants and teahouses, and it is really normal to occasionally look at the passers-by who come and go.

In the teahouse, Pei Xiang eagerly said, "Brother Yao, you should change your appearance as early as possible. Well, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go."

Huang Yaoshi nodded indifferently, and sat on the seat by the window to drink tea slowly.

Pei Xiang got up and left the teahouse.

About two quarters of an hour later, a jade-faced gentleman with red lips and white teeth walked into the teahouse with a fan. He stopped for a while and looked around, and suddenly a pleasant smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Yao! It's really you. Oh, I didn't expect to meet you again today. It's really a blessing! Why is Brother Yao drinking tea here alone? Where's the icy, smart and beautiful fairy girl next to you?"

Huang Yaoshi paused while drinking tea, and looked up at this familiar "old friend".

I saw that the person in front of me was indeed a freehand and elegant Pian Pianjia son, a little uninhibited and suave, a little arrogant and impetuous like a rich and noble son, and a little hearty and easy-going like a young knight.All kinds of temperament are mixed together, Duan is a handsome young man who makes people's eyes shine.

After looking at it for a while, Huang Yaoshi didn't find any flaws in his disguise, and he couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

However, thinking of Pei Xiang's boast just now, he felt that he couldn't easily say yes, lest she would be too complacent.

"Brother, did you remember wrongly? Huang has only a cheeky companion who likes to brag, how can there be such a smart beauty?"

The young gentleman closed his folding fan with a "shua", walked straight to the seat opposite Huang Yaoshi and sat down.He shook his robe, crossed his legs and leaned on his arms to look sideways at Huang Yaoshi, and said dissatisfiedly:

"Brother Yao, why do you have to be so guarded against me? I just want to talk to Miss Pei more, I'm not the kind of frivolous person. Hey, Brother Yao really doesn't have to say these things against his will just to protect Miss Pei, I can hear it Uncomfortable, you are wronged, why bother? She is good, you and I know it well, so don't say it."

Huang Yaoshi let out a snort. Seeing that Pei Xiang was full of drama, and he was acting happily, he was speechless and helpless.He was too lazy to play with her, so he got up to pay the bill, and walked out of the teahouse without saying hello.

Seeing this, Pei Xiang hurriedly followed, shouting while chasing:

"Brother Yao, Brother Yao, we two brothers reunited after a long absence, it should be clear, you go slowly, the younger brother is the host today, please have a drink."

Huang Yaoshi walked faster and faster, reaching the corner of the street in a few breaths, his figure suddenly appeared ghostly and ghostly, seeming to exist and not appearing, as if he had exercised a brilliant lightness technique.

The handsome young man who was chasing after him had no internal energy in his body, he looked like an ordinary kid from a rich family, but he was able to accurately capture Huang Yaoshi's figure.

While sending out the invitation enthusiastically and eagerly, he walked forward at a tiger's pace, but he was not left behind by a master of lightness kung fu like Huang Yaoshi, but instead followed the other party and moved forward rapidly.After a while, the two of them left the city gate and disappeared.

The caring person responsible for keeping an eye on Pei Xiang's itinerary was at a loss at this moment.

They watched Pei Xiang leave the teahouse, and saw her stay in several shops for a while, and before they knew it, she disappeared.

And Huang Yaoshi in the teahouse did not wait patiently for his companions.After talking a few words to a young man whom he met suddenly, he left in a hurry, as if he didn't care about Pei Xiang's going or staying.

The observers were confused, but they still reported the situation in detail.

In a beautiful and beautiful courtyard somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, the slender hands belonging to the man unfolded the letters of the flying pigeons, and arranged the messages on them in chronological order.

"On the [-]th, Huang Yaoshi appeared in Ancheng, accompanied by a young man surnamed Bai, but Miss Pei was nowhere to be seen."

"On the sixteenth day, there was no sign of Miss Pei. Huang Yaoshi and Bai Xiao went together to compete in lightness kungfu by the Qingjiang River, and then went fishing in the middle of the river, and had a late-night feast. Huang Yaoshi seems to be good at cooking. After the banquet, Let's rest and sleep in separate rooms."

"On the [-]th, when Bai Xiao practiced kung fu behind closed doors at the inn, Miss Pei appeared and disappeared again. Miss Pei suspected that she was avoiding Bai Xiao and did not want to meet him."

"On the [-]th, Bai Xiao and Huang Yaoshi went to Baoxiang Temple. Bai Xiao rescued the famous prostitute Han Lu and wrote poems to comfort her. Miss Pei did not show up."

"On the 21st, Huang Yaoshi and Bai Xiao left. Han Lu sent off with her sisters Feishuang and Yuxue. The three daughters held a banquet at the Changting Pavilion, playing the piano and presenting songs. Huang Yaoshi was impatient and went ahead, and Bai Xiao was reluctant to part."

"On the 23rd, Huang Yaoshi visited a friend, but Bai Xiao disappeared. She suspected that she had returned to visit the three daughters of Han Lu. On the same day, Ms. Pei appeared at the Jixiang Cloth Shop in Lin County, where she purchased two pieces of men's and women's ready-made clothes and some needles and soft cloth. Take 200 taels of silver."

"On the 27th..."

Ouyang Zheng carefully read the words on the note one by one, his expression was sometimes gentle, sometimes serious, and sometimes mocking.

Baituoshan's eyeliners couldn't guess the relationship between Pei Xiang, Bai Xiao and Huang Yaoshi, but he could already see it very clearly.The mysterious Bai Xiao who appeared suddenly was actually Pei Xiang in disguise.

"I didn't know you had this talent."

Ouyang Zheng shook his head and laughed, proud and gnashing his teeth.

He thought to himself: "It is also possible to play the role of a young man so vividly. Not only did he deceive the shopkeepers who often deal with the three religions and nine schools, but even the prostitutes were also deceived. This day is extraordinarily lively. I simply cannot think of leaving. "

Probably because of the internal martial arts in "Nine Yin Manual", Ouyang Zheng recovered his memory faster than everyone expected.

Originally, according to the diagnosis of medical experts like Pei Xiang and Master Yuanchen, Ouyang Zheng's memory should slowly return after three to five years.But in fact, more than a year after Pei Xiang left, Ouyang Zheng, who is extremely perceptive, not only increased his internal strength rapidly, but also quickly returned his lost memories.

On a certain quiet late night, Ouyang Zheng, who had been meditating instead of sleeping, opened his eyes suddenly, and the eldest son who was always moody and angry turned red with a rare rage.

He frowned, sneered, angry, disappointed and restless, and in the end, everything turned into unwillingness and reluctance.

He thought, no matter what, he had to get him back and ask him clearly, ask her...Ask that cold-hearted woman... Forget it, no matter what you want to ask, you have to get him back first.

——Put it by your side, and then calculate the general ledger.

When Ouyang Zheng made up his mind, he sent someone to find Pei Xiang.

But to his great disappointment, since Pei Xiang went to Peach Blossom Island, no one has seen her show up again.

If it weren't for the shopping boats on Peach Blossom Island to often purchase some daily necessities that young girls need, and those daily necessities are what Pei Xiang is used to and likes, Ouyang Zheng would have thought that Pei Xiang would have left the East China Sea a long time ago.

After guessing that Pei Xiang is still on Peach Blossom Island, Ouyang Zheng closed his eyes to suppress all the sourness in his heart.

He told himself that although the man was cruel, he would not lie about some principled matters.Therefore, she said that she went to learn from Huang Yaoshi for advice, that is to learn frankly and frankly, not other ambiguous personal affairs.

Therefore, he should not be anxious, nor should he be angry and jealous.As long as there is no sign of a happy event on Peach Blossom Island, the matter between him and Pei Xiang is not over, and he is willing to wait for the day when she returns from her studies.

This wait is more than two years.

Ouyang Zheng doesn't bother Taohua Island, but it doesn't mean that he is really willing to wait honestly and resign himself to fate. He has never been a person who just sits and waits for death.

Gradually, more and more white camel mountain industries appeared in the East China Sea area, covering basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation.Afterwards, these industries extended from southeast to northwest, and gradually echoed the industries before Baituoshan, watching and helping each other.

In terms of Ouyang Zheng's business layout, the industries of Baituoshan are now scattered all over the place, but if they continue to develop in depth according to this rapid momentum, sooner or later the Ouyang family will control a very prosperous and important business route, connecting east, west, north and south.

While running the business, Ouyang Zheng did not ignore the affairs of the martial arts.It coincided with the "Nine Yin Scriptures" causing all kinds of disturbances in the Jianghu, how could he let go of such a great opportunity to add fuel to the flames behind the scenes.

What's more, in Ouyang Zheng's opinion, two years is long enough.

How can you attract people who have been nested on a small island for two years to come to shore?It is none other than the martial arts secret book "Nine Yin Scriptures".Therefore, he really did a lot of planning.

——For example, this Songshan Shaolin Conference.

Naturally, Pei Xiang didn't know that the eldest son was so energetic after he recovered.His younger brother Ouyang Feng will only make a small group of people miserable in the future, but Ouyang Zheng will stir up half of the world after getting rid of the shackles of his body.

Now she is on her way leisurely, accompanied by a smart and knowledgeable friend like Huang Yaoshi, and she can also learn martial arts from time to time, enjoy the wonderful scenery and various delicacies in various places, she is simply happy to miss leaving.

——Of course, it would be even better if Huang Yaoshi could be more lively and interesting.

On this day, the two finally rushed to the territory of Henan Province before the Songshan Shaolin Conference started, but it happened to coincide with a continuous rainstorm.

They traveled all the way, and finally found an inn amidst the wind and thunder.

Pei Xiang pushed the door open and entered, and found that the lobby of the inn was full of people from all corners of the country, all of them with elite eyes and full of vitality.

After scanning for a week, she preliminarily judged that almost all of these people rushed to Songshan Shaolin.Everyone had the same destination, and they all encountered this sudden thunderstorm, so they had to stay and get together in this inn.

"Shopkeeper, please come to two upper rooms." Huang Yaoshi knocked on the shopkeeper's counter.

"Guest officer, the small shop is simple, and now there is only one first-class room left. However, there are still many places in the Men's Shop, and the price is even cheaper. I don't know you two?"

Hearing that there was only one room left, Huang Yaoshi hesitated.

At this time, the door of the inn was pushed open again, and three men and two women in strong attire wearing long swords walked in. These five people were obviously here to stay.

Seeing this, Pei Xiang quickly said:

"That's the upper room, shopkeeper, we two brothers want it. Just please prepare an extra quilt and two benches."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Okay, you two go to the room together, wait a moment, I will do the registration."

Pei Xiang put the money on the counter, and the shopkeeper took the money and persuaded him earnestly:

"Actually, the beds in the first-class rooms of our house are very spacious. You two are not fat, and you won't be crowded when you sleep together."

Huang Yaoshi frowned, turned his head to look at the pouring rain outside the window, his eyes were ponderous.

Pei Xiang knew that although this man hated red tape, he was also very gentleman, and he was extraordinarily polite under certain circumstances, and he never had the fluke mentality of ordinary men taking advantage of him.No matter what the shopkeeper said, Huang Yaoshi might have to sit in the lobby below for a whole night.

"Shopkeeper, if we add money, you can do as I ask. My senior brother is very lonely and doesn't like to get too close to people. If it weren't for today's special situation, he wouldn't even want to be in the house. Hahaha, He despises my uncle's smelly feet, and my young master actually despises his smell of sweat, so it's better to separate."

Seeing that Pei Xiang had given enough money, the innkeeper didn't say anything more.He recorded the account with a smile, and ordered the clerk to tidy up the room.

Huang Yaoshi glanced at Pei Xiang inexplicably, wondering if this guy really thinks he is a man?Anything can be said.

The three men and two women who came in later knew that they were not in the room at this time. One of them, a young swordsman, blocked the aisle sideways, wanting Pei Xiang and the two to show their gentlemanly demeanor and give up the last room to the two women.

Huang Yaoshi knew that Pei Xiang was a woman, so why would he let her live in a bunk full of men?In addition, Pei Xiang just mentioned the smell of smelly feet and sweat, he just felt suffocated in his chest, how could he agree to the other party's request.

Those five people continued to entangle, and the door of the inn was pushed open again.A gust of wind, rain and water vapor poured in, but no one came in, which attracted the attention of everyone in the store.

Pei Xiang and the others were standing near the counter, which was relatively close to the gate. When they looked out, they saw two carriages parked quietly in front of the inn. A group of white-clothed guards on horseback stood guard on both sides of the carriage, orderly. sequence.

Someone let out a soft sigh of admiration, because these guards obviously have good internal strength cultivation, and they are all dry at this time, and their clothes have not been soaked by the violent wind and rain at all.

"Is it a family from a martial arts family traveling? Otherwise, why would there be so many good guards accompanying him?"

"Have you noticed their horses? They are all Xixia horses, and they are very valuable."

"It's raining too much, I don't have your good eyesight, brother. Hey, I just want to know who is in the carriage."

No need for everyone to continue guessing, the door of the carriage in front has already been opened from the inside. At the same time, the coachman handed a large umbrella to the guard who was near the door.

The guard quickly got off his horse, went to the car door, held up a big umbrella, and waited quietly.

A moment later, a young man in a black brocade robe stepped out of the carriage.Those who are good at observing first notice the person's boots, and after noticing that there is not a single trace of mud and water stains on the shoe surface after his feet splashed on the ground, they know that this person is also a martial artist.

Moving his gaze upwards, he noticed that the figure of this person was taller than the average person, and then looked up, because of the cover of the umbrella, the people who looked at the shop did not see the face of the owner of the carriage clearly.

Just when everyone was wondering who the visitor was, Pei Xiang had already recognized Ouyang Zheng's identity.

Her first reaction was to move into the shadows, but she immediately realized that she was "Bai Xiao", a kid from a rich family, a stranger who didn't know Ouyang Zheng at all, so there was no need to hide and retreat.

As for why she wanted to hide, in fact, she couldn't tell clearly, it was just... not so confident.

The group walked into the store, and one of the guards put a waist badge on the counter without saying anything.

On the contrary, when the innkeeper saw the waist card, he immediately smiled all over his face:

"Oh, it turned out to be a distinguished guest, but I didn't welcome you. The seven guest rooms have been tidied up and clean. I'll tell the staff to take you to the guest rooms. Do you want hot water now? Or should we have some hot noodle soup first? "

The white-clothed guard smiled politely, and instead of answering immediately, he turned around and asked for instructions.

Ouyang Zheng nodded, and said quietly:

"All the way, eating and sleeping in the open, everyone is tired, you go to rest, only Bai Liuyi is left by my side."

"Thank you, Eldest Prince, for your compassion." The guard in white clasped his fists.

The group was about to disperse when a woman who hadn't booked a room just now suddenly yelled:

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean? Didn't you just say that the two people in front took the last room? Why did they have seven rooms when they came? Are you bullying?"

Ouyang Zheng turned around and paused as he was about to leave. His eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly moved in the direction of Pei Xiang. It seemed that because of the woman's words, he finally noticed Huang Yaoshi and the handsome young man standing beside him. .

However, he just looked around, and then lowered his eyes with a tired face, a little indifferent and distant.

——It's just a stranger...

On the other side, the innkeeper hurriedly apologized and said with a smile:

"This lady, it's not that she is unwilling to arrange a room for you and your companion. The store is indeed full. Those seven rooms were booked in advance, and they paid three times the deposit. Hehe, this is business. You have to be honest, right?

"I'm really sorry, Nv Xia. The weather is special today, and there are surprisingly many customers. The store is really not good at hospitality. However, the shops we have prepared for female customers in our shop are also good, very clean and tidy. It's better for Nv Xia to settle down." one night?"

After listening to the innkeeper's explanation, the woman eased the anger on her face a little, but she didn't follow the innkeeper's suggestion.

She straightened her temples, looked at Ouyang Zheng charmingly, and said softly, "Young master..."

However, before the young chivalrous woman could finish her request, Ouyang Zheng suddenly interrupted her, and asked in a deep voice, frowning:

"You just said...these two knights only booked one upper room?"

The young woman froze for a moment, then nodded.

At this moment, Ouyang Zheng finally set his eyes on Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi, and said slowly:

"I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for two knights to live in one guest room. It is fate that we meet by chance. I can give up a room to the two knights. Please don't refuse."

The voice fell to the ground, and the surroundings were a little quiet.

After a while, the heroine who hadn't booked a single room left angrily.

Huang Yaoshi suddenly laughed inexplicably.He looked at the guards in white and Ouyang Zheng's more profound and three-dimensional facial features than ordinary people, clasped his fists, and went upstairs to rest with the key to the room.
