Why do you want me to be the sect leader?

Xue Yarou turned around and stabbed out with the sword, but the flower picker leaned back to avoid the sword, and then kicked the sword in Xue Yarou's hand to the ground with his back foot, turned around and struck out with his palm.

Huo Jiulin strode forward and pulled Xue Yarou away, caught the flower picker's palm with his palm, and then led Xue Yarou to the side with a few swirling steps.

"Are you okay?"

Xue Yarou shook her head, Huo Jiulin let go, picked up Chen Yan's jade flute hanging on the wall, and stepped forward to deal with the flower picker. But what can be used is swordsmanship.

Huo Jiulin wanted to make a quick decision, because Shen Yiqing was outside in the yard now, and he was afraid that there would be troubles if he waited for a long time.

"who are you?"

Because he is now a groom, he still has to act, but to his surprise, the flower picker didn't intend to interrupt, but shot a row of hidden weapons at him.

Huo Jiulin dodged to dodge, and then saw the flower picker come out through the window, he and Xue Yarou hurriedly chased them out, Xue Wu, Zhang Cheng and others who were waiting for an opportunity to ambush in the courtyard saw that the flower picker did not take Xue Yarou away, Knowing that the plan failed, he brought people out and surrounded the flower pickers in the middle of the yard.

"Bold thief, don't hesitate to catch him!"

Zhang Cheng yelled sharply, the flower picker didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but directly raised his sword to fight with those yamen arresters and the guards of the city lord's mansion.

According to their guess, the flower picker's martial arts is really high. Huo Jiulin joined the battle and said with a smile, "I always think your figure looks familiar. Have we met somewhere?"

The flower picker's eyes froze, and his moves became ruthless in an instant, Huo Jiulin was no longer distracted, and the others around saw that they couldn't help, so they all gathered around and waited for the opportunity.

Huo Jiulin held the sword stabbed by the flower picker with his bare hands, turned the jade flute in his right hand, and slashed towards the flower picker. The flower picker felt a pain in his shoulder, and looked down to see a bloody cut.

"The eyes are more familiar, it seems that I have seen it before!"

After Huo Jiulin finished speaking, the flower picker let go of his sword, and then attacked with a palm. Huo Jiulin dodged it, but he didn't expect that the flower picker's target was not him. Shooting in the direction of the darts, the guards and arresters avoided the darts one after another, and there was a lot of noise in the courtyard for a while.

At the same time, he suddenly attacked Shen Yiqing who was not far away, and Huo Jiulin quickly shouted: "Ah Qing, be careful!"

Because there were too many noises in the yard, Shen Yiqing couldn't tell where the attack was coming from for a while, and suddenly received a slap on the heart, and a dagger was added to the neck the next moment.

"Ah Qing!"

After all, Huo Jiulin was a step too late, and the people around realized that they had been fooled just now.

"Flower picker, let brother Shen go!"

Xue Yarou roared angrily, the dagger that the flower picker put on Shen Yiqing's neck suddenly tightened a bit, Shen Yiqing groaned, and there was a bloodstain on his neck instantly.

"Don't touch him..."

Huo Jiulin's voice was a little anxious, and then he tried to calm himself down, "I don't know what you want to do, I thought you took those brides because you were too lustful, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, so can you say Say, you are a woman, why did you arrest those brides?"

"woman?"

Everyone was a little surprised, Huo Jiulin smiled at Xue Yarou: "Miss Xue, you also know this flower picker."

Xue Yarou was at a loss: "I know it too? Who is it?"

"Did you say it yourself, or should I say it for you?"

Huo Jiulin asked the flower picker, and the flower picker chuckled lightly, and replied, "Young master Lin has really good eyesight."

Xue Yarou was stunned, with an expression of disbelief: "This voice... Jiu Niang?"

"Jiu Niang, let's talk slowly about what's going on. You let Ah Qing go first, and I guarantee you can leave safely."

"Since I did these things, I didn't think about how long I would live, Yarou, you see, neither of these two men are good enough for you, and all the men in this world are not good."

"Jiu Niang...why are you a flower picker?"

"Yarou, I'm sorry for you. I've lied to you all this time. If possible, I hope you don't know these things for the rest of your life. It's a pity...some things have to be made clear sooner or later, but before that, I want to warn you Mr. Lin said, since you like Mr. Shen, don't try to provoke Yarou half-heartedly."

After Cai Jiuniang finished speaking, she suddenly raised her left hand and took out a small medicine bottle. After opening it, she poured it into Shen Yiqing's mouth. Shen Yiqing pulled her into her arms and stepped aside.

"Ah Qing... How are you, Ah Qing?"

"Cough cough cough..."

"Cai Jiuniang, what did you feed him?"

Cai Jiuniang suddenly laughed, "It's nothing, it's just a choice for you, don't worry, it's not poison, it's just wine."

Huo Jiulin looked disbelieving, Shen Yiqing coughed a few times to calm down a little, just about to say that she was fine, but felt that something was wrong with her whole body, as if a hot feeling slowly rose from her body.

"This……"

"Ah Qing, what's the matter?"

"It's a bit hot, I...the wine is not right..."

There was an ominous premonition in Shen Yiqing's heart, and Cai Jiuniang, who was opposite, explained: "My special Chunxiaozui is much more powerful than ordinary love potions. Moreover, there is no medicine to cure it. It is my thank you to Mr. Lin for revealing my identity. .”

"you!"

Huo Jiulin wanted to chop Cai Jiuniang into pieces, but the person in his arms seemed to be very strange, his whole body was scalded, and he seemed to be tearing his own clothes.

"Ah Qing?"

"Huo Jiulin, it's hot."

Huo Jiulin hugged Shen Yiqing horizontally, and said to Xue Wu, "Master Xue, I will leave the rest of the matter to you."

"it is good……"

Xue Wu still hadn't realized it, everything in front of him seemed a bit chaotic, the flower picker was actually a woman, and she was very familiar with his daughter, he never thought of this.

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Jiulin reminded: "I suggest that you ask other people to step back. I think this may be your family business."

"Family?"

"The Cai Jiuniang in front of you is a master brewer, her original surname is Gu, you can figure it out for yourself."

Xue Wu felt that these words were like a bolt from the blue, and looked at Cai Jiuniang, who was masked in black, in surprise. Cai Jiuniang did not look at Xue Wu, but at Huo Jiulin.

"I was curious the day before yesterday. Even if you are from Yunyan City, you have heard about the Gujia Winery, and you can't immediately think of me.

After all, there are many people who know how to make wine in this world, let alone the accent problem, I asked the guys in the store yesterday, and they all said that they couldn't recognize my accent. "

"The son of an old friend."

"An old friend?" Cai Jiuniang thought that Huo Jiulin's facial features looked like an old one, but now she heard him say that, she looked at him in surprise and said, "You are Su..."

"It doesn't matter who I am, I hope you won't be blinded by hatred, some solutions don't need to be so paranoid."

After Huo Jiulin finished speaking, he hugged Shen Yiqing and was about to leave. Cai Jiuniang called him, "Wait a minute..."

He stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around. Cai Jiuniang's voice was somewhat apologetic: "I'm sorry about Mr. Shen, if I knew it was you, I wouldn't... But don't worry, this wine has no other harm to your body. ,It's just……"

It's just a strong love potion.

"Are you Lan Rui?"

Apart from the shock in Xue Wu's eyes, there was also a bit of bitterness, as if a wound that had been buried in his heart for many years was suddenly torn open again. It was clearly the same wound, but it hurt more than last time.

Cai Jiuniang raised her hand and took off the face scarf. Although there was a scar on the left side of her face, it could be seen that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

"Xue Wu, you killed more than a dozen lives of my Gu family, and now you dare to recognize me?"

Xue Wu couldn't understand: "I harmed your family? Jiu Niang, the fire in your house 17 years ago was an accident. I thought you were also buried in the flames. Fortunately..."

"Hahahaha, accident? The surname is Xue, you are really a master of acting. It's a pity that I didn't know people well at the beginning, so I was deceived by you for so long, and finally harmed everyone around me."

Seeing that they really knew each other, Zhang Cheng told the servants to retreat first, leaving them some private space. The guards of the City Lord's Mansion did not dare to retreat because they were worried about the safety of Xue Wu and Xue Yarou.

Xue Yarou couldn't understand their conversation at all. Jiuniang and Daddy seemed to have known each other before, and it sounded like they had a close relationship. What's going on?

On the other hand, Huo Jiulin did not bring Shen Yiqing back to the guest room of the City Lord's Mansion. After they left the Chen Mansion, they found a nearby inn without disturbing anyone. They jumped off the roof, found an empty room and entered through the window. .

Putting Shen Yiqing on the bed, he went down to look for Xiao Er to reserve this room. The shop waiter looked blankly at the person who suddenly appeared and then disappeared, thinking that he must be dazzled, but when he lowered his head, there was indeed a piece of silver in his hand.

Shen Yiqing frowned in some pain, he still had a sliver of reason, knowing that he should calm down, but his whole body was extremely hot, and his hands uncontrollably wanted to take off all the clothes on his body.

"Ah Ching..."

When Huo Jiulin walked to the bedside, the clothes on Shen Yiqing's body had been torn to pieces by himself. When had the third son Shen, who was originally clear and cold, been in such a mess.

"Huo Jiulin..."

"I am here……"

"Water, cold water, take me to Xiumei Lake."

Cai Jiuniang said that there is no cure for this wine, so soaking in cold water may not be helpful.Besides, he was already a little chilled because of the fall into the water the day before yesterday, so how could he have the heart to let him suffer so much in such a cold day.

Huo Jiulin put his hands on his sides and said in a low voice, "Ah Qing, don't need cold water, I'll help you."

"don't want……"

"who am I?"

Shen Yiqing looked at Huo Jiulin with some doubts, not sure why he asked such a question suddenly, his mind was in a mess now, unable to think about too complicated questions, so he could only give the simplest answer: "Huo Jiulin..."

"Not enough, a few words are missing."

"what?"

"Ah Qing, I am the Huo Jiulin who loves you the most in this world, the Huo Jiulin who wants to marry you the most, and the Huo Jiulin who wants to hold you in the palm of my hand for the rest of my life."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yiqing lowered her head and kissed his lips. Like catching driftwood in the water, Shen Yiqing climbed up Huo Jiulin's neck with both hands, and opened her mouth to respond to his lingering kiss for the first time.
