The look on Wei Lai's face was stunned, he looked at the smiling girl in front of him, and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.

His heart is like a galloping horse, and he secretly says that this woman is really open-mouthed, and such a thing of men and women can be announced so unabashedly.

It's just that Wei Lai has never done this, so how can he respond to Ji Huanxi?

Wei Lai was only sixteen years old in the end, and he was quite taboo about this man and woman, and he was still a little shy about it, even if he had never done it, he didn't know how to argue for a while.

Just thinking like this, Wei Lai's face suddenly became a little strange, and he inexplicably remembered the dream, the bed with the red tent, the vague but pretty woman, the lingering compassion, and the whispering on his lips......

Or can Chunmeng be regarded as breaking the pure yang body?

Wei Lai's face flushed slightly when he thought of this, but this appearance fell in Na Ji Huanxi's eyes, but it was a tacit acquiescence.

The look on the girl's face became a little resentful at that time, and she lowered her eyebrows and whispered: "The son is too angry, obviously there is joy, I really can't hold it, just look for joy, I have to go to the land of fireworks, do those women really like Huan?"

Wei Lai had long expected Ji Huanxi's boldness, but he didn't expect that the other party could say such explicit words so bluntly.

He was speechless for a moment, but he didn't know how to respond.

Squeak –

Seeing that Wei Lai was about to be defeated under Ji Huanxi's teasing gaze, a voice suddenly came from the study behind him.

The two looked back, but saw that the door of the study was slowly opened, and an old man walked out of the door tremblingly.

"Grandpa!" Wei came to see the man, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him with a soft snort.

And Ji Huanxi, who was beside him, also put away the daughterly look on his face, bowed his head respectfully to the old man and said, "I've seen the state pastor." ”

The old man let Wei Lai support his body, and walked with a step, looking at Wei Lai sideways, and said with a smile: "Are you back?

"There are no maps of mountains and rivers, but they just teleported us to a place in the southern Xinjiang where cattle and sheep were raised in captivity, and we saw some strange things. Wei Lai bowed his head and replied, his attitude respectful. He could clearly feel that since he left Ningxiao City, the old man in front of him seemed to be a lot older than before, thinking about the departure of the Ning family and the Xu family and the recent events in Ningxiao City made the old man worry too much.

"I heard that my grandfather is sick, I don't know if it's the Jin family's fault, or is there really such a thing?" Wei Lai couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he thought of this, so he asked again. The tone between the words was low, as if there was a murderous rush.

"It's not strange that I'm old, and it's not strange that there are some problems from time to time, Miss Ji and General Jin are also afraid that there will be bad people who will get in the way, so they are kind enough to send troops to deploy defenses, so how can they say that they are not strange. Jiang Huanshui said with a smile, his tone was calm, so that Wei Lai could not understand the old man's true thoughts through the other party's words.

But he didn't believe that the old man's words were sincere, he glanced sideways at Ji Huanxi who was not far away, and secretly thought that it was because Ji Huanxi was happy again that Jiang Huanshui would say such a thing.

He had the intention to avoid the girl, and was about to propose to send the old man back to the study to talk carefully. But before the words could be spoken, the old man's voice sounded first: "Accompany me outside for a walk......

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, but he thought that this was also a way to avoid people's ears, and he was about to nod his head, but then the old man said: "If Miss Ji is free, she will also be with our grandfather and grandson."

How about people walking together?"

Wei Lai never thought that Jiang Huanshui would say such a proposal, he was still in a daze, Ji Huanxi smiled, bowed his head and said: "The state pastor has a word, and the younger generation does not dare to refuse." ”

......

I don't know if it's because Ji Huanxi is walking with him, or if it's just as the old man said, the Jin family's army is really just Ji Huanxi's kindness, in short, along the way, the Cang Yuwei in the mansion gate did not stop it at all. The three of them walked out of the state pastor's mansion all the way unimpeded and walked to the streets of Ningxiao City.

Probably because he felt that outsiders were present, Wei Lai frowned all the way and didn't speak. And Ji Huanxi is also abnormal, acting like a full lady in front of the elders, so quiet that Wei Lai is a little uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Jiang Huanshui seemed to be in a good mood, and he stirred up topics from time to time along the way, asking Ji Huanxi about everything in Tailin City, and asking Wei Lai about his cultivation situation. The two of them did not shy away from the old man's questions, and they were all blunt. But after the words, they all fell into silence with great tacit understanding, obviously not only Wei Lai, but Ji Huanxi also couldn't figure out what the purpose of the old man was to bring her on this trip.

In this way, the two of them followed the old man through the streets and alleys of Ningxiao City with doubts, and finally turned into a remote alley in the north of the city.

The houses on both sides of the alley are low, the ground is uneven, and there are traces of water flowing on the street that I don't know what it is, faintly filled with a musty and sour smell, and even Ji Huanxi on the side frowned secretly, extremely uncomfortable with this diffuse smell.

In the past, Wei Lai never knew that there was such a place in this seemingly prosperous Ningxiao City, but he couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw it today.

"Tongmen Lane, the slum of Ningxiao City, where beggars, thieves and some elderly prostitutes live. You don't have the opportunity to come into contact with these people on weekdays, so you don't know that this is also the norm. The old man next to him seemed to see through the doubts of the two, and said with a smile.

Wei Lai frowned and asked: "Since my grandfather knows that there is this realm, why don't you let people repair it, such a place where dirt and dirt are hidden, and it will inevitably breed trouble." ”

Jiang Huanshui smiled again when he heard this: "The dragon has a river, the snake has a low hole, whether it is the flat-headed people or the bandits and beggars, they all have to have their dwellings, and if this place is demolished, where should they go to live in peace? After all, they are human beings, and they can't be cut off from their lives, right?"

When Wei Lai heard this, most of the doubts in his heart dissipated, and he was about to be, but the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "It's here." ”

"Huh?" Wei Lai looked for Jiang Huanshui's gaze and looked ahead, only to see a simple grass hut there, and more than a dozen ragged children recorded a bed made of quilts and thatch snuggling up to each other and falling asleep, the anger on the side was burning brightly, and something was boiling in the pot.

"Who!?" A dull voice sounded, and with the sound of heavy footsteps, a sturdy old man with gray hair and scruffy clothes with a dry tobacco in his mouth came out of the depths of the shed.

The appearance of the other party surprised Wei Lai, who was surprised by the sight in front of him, and he looked at the person, and his heart jumped again. Not only because of the old man's strange outfit, but also because his arms, which were still exposed even in heavy snow, were densely engraved with more than 100 knife marks......

This old man is obviously not a bandit or a beggar in Jiang Huanshui's mouth, but more like a star who walked out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses.

I met each other's

Zhenrong Weilai's heart jumped, and he subconsciously wanted to gather the spiritual power in his body.

But after the visitor saw Jiang Huanshui's appearance clearly, his vicious face grinned, revealing his big yellow teeth.

"Old man Jiang, I haven't been here for so long, I thought you bad old man was dead!" the old man said.

This is somewhat unpleasant, that is, after Wei Lai and Ji Huanxi heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other with strange expressions, obviously not expecting that anyone would dare to talk to the state pastor of Dayan like this.

"No hurry, no hurry. But Jiang Huanshui waved his hand with a smile and said, "You are such a heavy killer, Lord Yan is not in a hurry to hook your life, how can you not get along with my little old man?"

"Can Lao Tzu's killing be called a person? It's just some brutes!" the other party didn't care, scolded and said with a grin, and then enthusiastically pulled Jiang Huanshui to the grass shed and sat down.

Of course, in such a simple grass hut, the facilities in the shed are naturally not very good, and the so-called tables and chairs are just a few neatly chopped wooden stakes.

And when everyone Luo Zong, the old man sounded Wei Lai and Ji Huanxi, who were following Jiang Huanshui, he pointed to the two and asked, "By the way, these two are ......?"

"Wei Lai, my grandson. Jiang Huanshui looked at Wei Lai and said this, and then pointed to Ji Huanxi on the side, about to introduce.

But the old man suddenly interrupted Jiang Huanshui's words with a loud voice: "I know, this must be your granddaughter-in-law!"

After the old man said that, he also looked at Ji Huanxi seriously, and said in his mouth: "Yes, your old man doesn't look good, but his grandson is born a talent, and his granddaughter-in-law is even more beautiful like a fairy, so blessed!

Wei Lai saw that the old man had misunderstood, Ji Huanxi also pretended to bow his head intentionally, with the shy appearance of a girl, Wei Lai couldn't help but have a big head, and he was about to explain.

But at this time, Jiang Huanshui slowly handed a bag of heavy things from his arms to the other party.

The old man took a deep breath of dry smoke, exhaled a burst of thick smoke, took the thing, weighed it in his hand, his face was a little strange, and said, "So much this time?"

I saw that he lowered his head and opened the bag in his hand, and took out the things inside from the bag, but it was a golden money plate, with "Heavenly Mandate Chu System" on the front and "Quartet for the Public" engraved on the back.

"Red money!" After seeing the thing clearly, the old man's face changed, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Lai and Ji Huanxi's faces also changed - red money was not minted by the Great Yan Imperial Court, but made by Great Chu, this thing is precious, even in the territory of Great Chu, it is rarely circulated, and there is always a saying on the market that ten thousand taels of silver are not as good as red gold.

And the heavy appearance of the money bag handed to the old man by Guanjiang Huanshui, if all of them contain this red money, I am afraid that this bag can have the posture of twenty or thirty red money, such a fortune, converted into silver money, I am afraid it is enough to support the expenses of the Sanxiao Army for a year. Jiang Huanshui handed over such a huge fortune to such an old man in the slums, and anyone would find it strange.

But what's even more strange is that after the old man put down the money bag, he looked at Jiang Huanshui with heavy eyes and asked, "Say, with so much money, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Huanshui squinted his eyes and stared at each other, and spit out two fluttering words in his mouth.

"Out of the mountains. ”
