The protagonist has a clear style of painting [Quick wear]

The noisy banquet did not hinder Qi Yao's good appetite, he put down his chopsticks until he was [-]% to [-]% full.

The competition on the other side has come to an end. Since no one can convince anyone, they can only hold their noses and take a step back. This matter will be discussed later.

Among the two warring parties, Hua Xijun has a certain right to speak, even if the literati group is not happy, they have to give him a face to seriously discuss this matter.

Hua Xijun looked over and looked at Gu Qingyun, then he nodded his head quietly.

Gu Qingyun raised his glass to him.

A set within a set.The main brain complained silently.

All parties returned to the wine table, discussing with each other.Hua Xijun walked towards Qi Yao with a wine glass, Xiao Jihuang watched his words and expressions, and filled him with wine neatly.

Gu Qingyun got up and had a toast with Hua Xijun.

"Thank you Guoshi." Hua Xijun said softly, then covered the cup and drank the wine in one gulp.

Gu Qingyun just took a sip lightly, and then sat down.

Hua Xijun smiled, knowing that Gu Qingyun was giving him face, he was not unhappy.Turning around and handing the cup to Yan Chong, Hua Xijun said: "The national teacher is free, I don't bother you."

Seeing that Gu Qingyun nodded slightly.Hua Xijun cupped his hands and retreated.

This wine is strong wine, Qi Yao just took a sip and felt that the tip of his tongue was numb and his throat was hot.In addition, there were many voices in the hall, and Qi Yao felt that everything was being arranged in the corner after listening to the corner, so he also left with his two apprentices.

He came with vigor and vigor, but when he left, he was silent.When everyone looked at the guest seats, there was no one there.

Chen Axiu followed him to the end of the long corridor, suddenly stopped, and said with some hesitation: "Master."

"Yeah." Qi Yao looked back at her, wondering, "What's wrong?"

"I... want to go and see Hua Xijun, I think his complexion is not very good." Chen Axiu said awkwardly.

Qi Yao tilted his head, not quite understanding what Chen Axiu was trying to say.

"Don't get me wrong! I just want to thank him for the gift of the sword today."

After hearing her explanation like this, Qi Yao was very reasonable and said: "You go."

With his permission, Chen Axiu happily turned around to look for Hua Xijun, and Qi Yao let out a "hey".Chen Axiu looked back at him, and Qi Yao pointed to the path that turned left ahead, "He went over there."

"Ah, good!" Chen Axiu jumped back in surprise again, and ran forward with her head buried in a little foolishness.Qi Yao wanted to laugh a little, but his good professionalism made him tense up.

"Master."

There were not many people in the village, and people in the inner courtyard were all at the banquet. After Chen Axiu ran away, there were only him and Xiao Jihuang left in the huge courtyard.

"Why does master always look at her?" Xiao Jihuang asked softly standing beside him.

The boy's voice was low and hoarse, but crisp.Qi Yao's ears moved, feeling a little itchy.

Qi Yao thought carefully about Xiao Jihuang's question, and replied: "No, I see you more than Axiu." After all, you are the protagonist.

Gu Qingyun stared directly at Xiao Jihuang openly, without hiding it.

"Really...?" Xiao Jihuang was startled, and suddenly said: "I'm very happy."

"What are you happy about?" Qi Yao didn't get his point, and was a little confused.

"It's nothing."

Xiao Jihuang said nothing on his lips, but the smile on his lips could not be suppressed. He looked at Gu Qingyun's long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and felt like feathers were fluttering in his heart. He thought that if he had a tail, now It must have been bouncing around.

[Mastermind: The protagonist is now at 90% coolness]

[Qi Yao: ...I have always wanted to ask what is the function of this refreshing measurement? 】

[Mastermind: The manual says it is to better measure the protagonist's psychology, so as to break through the protagonist's psychological defense and pull in the distance to complete the task. 】

It may be that he is running the tasks fairly smoothly now, so there are still many functions that cannot be fully developed.Qi Yao thought.

-

Chen Axiu at the other end of the trail finally caught up with Huaxi Jun.

The small garden has not been taken care of for a long time. Hua Xijun came here to pick up things from the warehouse. He deliberately avoided the left and right so as not to disturb others, but he did not expect that there would be a tail following him.He dodged and hid in the cover high up on the rockery.

The girl who got out from behind the pear tree was stumbled by the muddy thorns all over the ground, she stumbled into it by mistake, her cheeks were still fair, and her wide-open eyes shone with confusion.It seems a little bit at a loss how to get here.

Hua Xijun wasn't sure whether she entered by mistake or followed her intentionally.While hesitating, Chen Axiu shouted.

"Hua Xijun! Hua Xijun! Are you here?"

Seeing that no one answered, she became self-contained and distressed again, searching left and right and muttering to herself: "Master obviously said that he came here, could it be that I came too late and didn't catch up?"

Hua Xijun was amused. Seeing that she was not malicious, Shi Shiran came out from behind the rockery, and said, "Are you looking for me?"

"You are really here, Master will not deceive me!" Chen Axiu's eyes lit up.

Hua Xijun stood on the stone wall, looked down at Chen Axiu, and couldn't help teasing her: "Boy, do you know that it's impolite to call her by her first name?"

Seeing that Hua Xijun regarded her as a boy, Chen Axiu simply said without hesitation: "Then tell me what should I call you, the master?"

The corners of Hua Xijun's mouth twitched, with a slight smile in his eyes, he said, "Why don't you just call me Yangbiao."

"Yang Piao? I heard from Master that this is your handwriting." Chen Axiu said.Hua Xijun couldn't hold back seeing her presence, bent down and tapped Chen Axiu's forehead lightly, "I'm a big kid, otherwise you can call me big brother too?"

brother?Chen Axiu curled her lips, thinking in her heart that she was afraid that I dared to call you out.

"You came here specifically to find me? But why?"

When Hua Xijun said this, Chen Axiu remembered the business, she took off the long pendant tied around her waist and handed it to Hua Xijun.

"What's the meaning of this?" Hua Xijun took the jade pendant and looked around, and saw that the jade was a high-quality suet jade, and also saw the unique moon-shaped pattern on it, but he didn't see anything else for a while. something else.

"This is a gift, to return the sword you gave me." Chen Axiu held the scabbard and waved it, and she said again: "This jade is quite valuable, but you can't just pawn it, if you are in a hurry, you can take it It went to Linnan City Gate to find the captain of the city gate, and that person will help you solve the trouble."

Hua Xijun raised his eyebrows.As soon as she said this, Hua Xijun guessed that her identity must be extraordinary, and he declined politely: "A sword is nothing more than a casual gift, it is nothing compared to such an important thing, this is your personal..."

"No, it's just a very common token." Chen Axiu hastily interrupted him.Just kidding, how could a girl's personal jade pendant be given to a man casually? Isn't this slandering her innocence?

Chen Axiu spat at him softly.

Hua Xijun was amused, and guessed that she should be a lady of which family. She has no worries about food and clothing, and has a high status, so she doesn't know what kind of city gate captain, how can ordinary people see her?

However, he did not ignore Chen Axiu's kindness and put the jade pendant in his sleeve pocket.

"You haven't told me your name yet?" Hua Xijun said.

"You can call me Axiu, that's what Master calls me too."

"Axiu? Sounds like a little girl." Hua Xijun deliberately teased her.

Chen Axiu rolled her eyes, she thought to herself that I am a girl, what do I look like a girl.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Axiu looked at the overgrown weeds all around, and the soft soles of her shoes stepped on the withered grass, feeling a little hairy in her heart.She always felt that some kind of snake or rat would crawl into her feet in the grass, so she shook her body again, shaking off the fallen leaves on her body.

Huaxi Jun paused.He smiled and said, "Do you want to see other good swords?"

"Of course." Chen Axiu replied, feeling a little itchy all over.

"Hand out, I'll pull you up." Hua Xijun stretched out his hand towards her.

"No need." Chen Axiu climbed up the rockery easily with one hand on the rock wall.

Hua Xijun withdrew his hand, feeling a little subconsciously disappointed.But soon he turned his attention back to Chen Axiu.

Chen Axiu put her hand on the stone wall, listened to it again, and asked in surprise, "Is there something inside?"

"Want to see it?"

He stretched out his hands to feel around the crevices of the stone wall, and then took out a thin piece of thing from his waist, stroked it up and down between the stone walls lightly, and after a while Chen Axiu heard a soft "cracking" sound.

The stone wall door opened.

"Come in." Hua Xijun pushed away the stone wall, revealing the dark hole.

Chen Axiu looked inside.

"Are you afraid?" Hua Xijun walked inside first, then looked back at Chen Axiu.Chen Axiu moved her hand pawing on the stone wall, and a stone fell to the ground with a grunt.Hua Xijun naturally heard Chen Axiu's tricks, but he didn't expose her.Chen Axiu rubbed her nose and walked in, "Isn't it just a secret passage? Who's afraid?"
