She didn't react for a moment.

Although Le Tong's skills are not bad, but compared to Tang Molai, who is strong and strong, he is a big difference in strength, plus he has been seriously ill recently, and he has to wear a coat when he goes out, and it is impossible to win.

Unless...... What kind of trick was used?

Yutai Kaoru settled down, and immediately went to Tang's house with his master, and asked, "Where is Ye Chi?

Master Zheng had a bitter face when he heard this, and spread his hands and said, "Master Ye went to be busy with other things yesterday, so I didn't know that Tang Mo's kid slipped away." When he went to Lejia to find Le Tong, the two really fought, but now that he has lost, his temper has subsided a lot. ”

Kaoru Tai looked at him and could imagine what kind of frustration this was, after all, the two had fought for many years and had never really distinguished the winner or loser, and now the side that looked strong was beaten to the ground, and he was naturally sad in his heart.

When he arrived at the Tang family, it was already nightfall, and the people of the yamen were no longer there, which meant that Ye Chi had already left the Tang family. From a distance, he saw Tang Mo sitting on the steps with half of his face covered, not moving, and he could vaguely see that there was an extra slap mark on his face.

He looked fine, and there were no serious injuries on his body, and he was even less injured than he usually fought with Le Tong, but his face was so swollen that he kept covering half of his swollen face, staring at the ground and being silent.

This reaction is a bit peculiar.

Yutai Kaoru wanted to walk over and ask what happened, but a young man under Tang Mo stopped her and said aggrievedly: "Don't go over, my lord, Brother Tang has been sitting there for a day, and no one will pay attention to it, and he didn't react when Lord Ye came to call him just now." ”

"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, what is there for him not to get by?"

Kaoru was still puzzled, but the young man pulled her aside and gave a rough idea of what had happened at noon.

Things were similar to what they knew, before Master Tang came to get people, Tang Mo slipped away with a heavy sword, and escaped the sight of a cadre and went to Lejia to find Le Tong to duel. Le Tong is a fan and is good at hidden weapons, which is why the Tang family insisted that it was he who was attacked in the first place.

At that time, several of them rushed to the wind, and Le Tong's face looked a little pale, and even his movements were slower than before, and his thin body looked cold and cold. As his opponent, Tang Mo obviously noticed this, so he collected his strength and decided to fight again another day, he was not the one who took advantage of the danger, but the onlookers had already arrived, and there were many little girls screaming at the handsome and moving Le Pupil.

Then the two fought, Tang Mo put down his weapon for fairness, and fought with his bare hands, and sure enough, within a few moves, Le Tong was at a disadvantage. Miraculously, Tang Mo used a dragon claw hand before being thrown out, originally wanting to strangle Le Tong's neck to end the battle, but due to the opponent's avoidance, a palm was clasped on his flat chest, but the whole person suddenly froze, and the next moment he was thrown out by Le Tong with an over-the-shoulder fall, without the slightest resistance, he rolled straight twice and hung upside down on a tree next to him.

All mouths were wide open for this result.

What happened later was that Tang Mo was slapped a few times and was defeated miserably. The younger brothers of the Tianmen Gang were frightened and hurriedly went to get him down from the tree, but from that moment on, something was wrong with his whole person.

"It's that simple?" Kaoru said incredulously, "Did Le Tong make any secret moves?"

"No, Le Gongzi just slapped him a few times......" The young man was red-eyed, and pointed at Tang Mo, who was still motionless, distressedly, "The eldest brother didn't give us medicine for him, and he has been sitting since noon." ”

When he went home, he found that the lights were still on in the yamen, so he went into the house to take a look, and found that Ye Chi was consulting the files in the library, and the sound of "whooshing" books seemed a little harsh in the quiet night.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Ye Chi raised his head when he heard the voice, and was very excited that she took the initiative to talk, and his smile was handsome and bright: "Why are you here?"

"I see that the light is still on here, are you looking for something?" Kaoru Tantai walked over and tilted his head to look at the file in his hand, which looked old, about some years old, "Don't you care about Tang Mo's business?"

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "At first, I was just afraid that they would kill each other by mistake, and then the two families would inevitably have a conflict, and since this result was both happy, there was nothing bad about it." ”

Kaoru didn't hear where everyone was happy, and pointed to the book in his hand: "Look at this, haven't you memorized all the household registration?"

"I've only seen a part of the last few years, and this was more than twenty years ago. Every time he turned a page, his fingers quickly swiped the pages of the book, and in a short time he finished the book, which was a little surprisingly fast, "Last time I was sorting it out, I wanted to ask, why these files are only the oldest and the newest, and there are a few years in between;

Kaoru Tantai looked at him silently, and didn't answer for a long time, always showing a little confusion in his straight eyes, "Because of the fire, some of the time were burned." These old ones were kept in boxes, so they survived. ”

She sat on a large box next to her, and because she didn't know what he was looking for, she didn't mean to help. It felt like going back to the night of their first acquaintance, and they were sorting out the files together in this room, and the dim candlelight reflected the two tired figures, full and busy.

Ye Chi suddenly remembered something, walked to the side and took the book and handed it to her, and said earnestly: "This is the book I found for you, the content in it is relatively healthy, just take it and read it if you like it." ”

Kaoru took the book and suddenly found many small books in his bookcase. Could it be that the master said that he was busy all day yesterday, that is...... For this?

She flipped through it twice slowly, and the little book seemed to have been handed down from the country of wild geese, telling the story of a generation of female generals. Her eyes lit up, she silently put the book away, and said coldly: "I'm not angry that you burned my book." ”

“…… Huh?"

"I'm not happy because I didn't see the end. ”

Her beautiful face looked a little hazy in the light, and she spoke without sadness or joy, no different from usual, but it was true that she could see that she was angry.

"The ending is that the protagonist of the story has a child and is happy. Ye Chi turned her head to look at her after answering, and she was really not very satisfied with this answer. Kaoru Tai's focus has never been on this issue, only about the protagonist's galloping on the battlefield, and the ending of such a family carnival is boring for her.

Ye Chi retracted his gaze, and suddenly felt that she was actually a very understanding person, and unconsciously smiled, but his fingertips suddenly stopped somewhere in the file in his hand, and said, "Sure enough, ......"

Hearing this, Kaoru Yutai jumped down from the box and said curiously, "What did you find?"

"This is an old book from twenty years ago, and the classification is not perfect, but I finally found the record of Letong's birth. ”

"Hitomi?" Kaoru Tantai wondered, "Why are you looking for him?"

Ye Chi didn't answer, just put the file away, and said slowly: "You...... Why are you still sitting here?"

Kaoru Tantai pointed to the dark night outside, and said without waves: "Aren't you invisible at night, I can help you show the way." ”

She said very lightly, but Ye Chi was a little moved, and his heart suddenly surged, and he quickly packed up his things, lifted the bookcase and said with a radiant look: "Okay, then let's go." ”

He looked a little excited for some reason, which confused Kaoru Tadai, and handed the lantern to him, while he took his other hand and led him forward in the night.

The moonlight is soft, clear and quiet, and despite practicing martial arts since childhood, Kaoru Taitai's hands are still small and soft, cold and cold. The light of the lantern was faint, and Ye Chi's eyes were also blurry, and he could only vaguely see the human figure. He suddenly grabbed Kaoru Tai with his backhand, and his big strong hand held her in the palm of his hand, which made her slightly stunned, but she thought he was competing with his hand, and he held him with his backhand, and finally became ten fingers interlocked.

Kaoru Yutai was not unusual, but was a little proud because of the strength he had made, while Ye Chi was red, and sighed: "You know girls...... Can't you just shake a man's hand?"

She blinked, and said without changing her face, "You were the one who held me first." ”

"Don't you know why?"

Yutai Kaoru lowered his head and thought about it seriously, and suddenly said with some hatred: "Are you still thinking about those strange things?" Master Zheng said that you are always thinking about this. ”

Ye Chi helped his forehead.

Strange things......

"The so-called men and women do not kiss, so holding hands is a way to show goodwill. He gently clasped her little hand, feeling the cold softness gradually warm up in his palm, and a gentle smile appeared on Qingjun's face.

Kaoru Tandai suddenly stopped, turning her head to stare into his dark eyes, "Are you courting me?"

"Yes, I'm courting you. Ye Chi couldn't see ahead clearly, so he could only fumble and hold her narrow shoulders, facing her in the faint light, and dimly saw her in a red dress, bright and beautiful, "I said I would forget the events of that day, but I didn't want to ......"

"Okay, then I'll keep an eye on you. Kaoru Tandai interrupted him solemnly and patted him on the shoulder, "Although you can't beat me, I appreciate people who have the courage to challenge." ”

“……”

Ye Chi's words about to be said were swallowed in his throat, and he didn't know how to correct it, but Kaoru Yutai just led him casually and took him back to the state pastor's mansion in the dark.

He needed to get to know her better, clenching his fists.

***

In the early morning of the next day, the news of Tang Mo's defeat spread completely, but he himself seemed unusually indifferent, still sitting on the steps and thinking about life. The master came before dawn, and said that there was an accident on the Yamen's side, and Le Tong's second uncle sued his nephew in court with a complaint, and was waiting for them to deal with it.

The second head of the Le family is named Le Longyang, it is said that when he was young, he was swept away by Le Tong's father because of good gambling, and this sudden return was incredible, and after the uncle and nephew fought to the death, they finally reached the point of going to court.

Ye Chi looked at the complaint he submitted, which probably meant that Le Tong had already sold two shops without his permission, and the rest was also carried out in secret.

Le Tong is far more thoughtful than on the surface, and that appearance at the poetry meeting was also to find a way back. Although Le Longyang is older, after all, he has been a gentleman since he was young, and he naturally can't fight this nephew in terms of means, so he has no choice but to find the government to solve it, and what is puzzling is that he has not done it until now.

At this moment, Le Tong was sitting in the hall, dressed in ink clothes and heroic, waving a folding fan to look calm and calm, although slightly sick and weak, but more handsome, attracting a few little girls outside to stop;

Su Yu was also called over early in the morning, I don't know what was written on it, but he looked at Le Longyang and said, "Since the shops of the Le family are all under the name of Le Gongzi, it doesn't matter if he changes hands, or if his brain is hot, there is nothing unruly, right?"

Le Longyang's face turned cold, and he said viciously: "The shop of the Le family is indeed in her name, but she deceived it! This dead girl is not my Le family at all!"

He said that he was about to pounce on Le Tong, but Kaoru Tai and Tang Mo, who had heard the wind, arrived at this time. Tang Mo swollen half of his face, but suddenly stepped forward quickly and grabbed Le Longyang's hand, raised his head sharply to look at Ye Chi, and said righteously:

"Lord Ye, punish me if you want to punish me!"
