Chapter 80: The Ministers

"Been doing it for more than ten years?" Shangguan listened to Xuexue's eyes widen in surprise, and sighed after being surprised, "No wonder it's so delicious!"

"Yes, practice makes perfect, anything that can be done persistently for more than ten years, can be perfected. "The reason why he has always insisted on making a kind of shortbread, Lao Huang, the housekeeper of the Xijing General's Mansion, has his own old past, but the old thing is the old thing after all, Xu Jing is not like telling others about this matter, after sighing, he turned to Xu Heng, "How did you two meet in Xijing Second Mansion? Tell me the details of what happened." ”

He looked at the little girl who looked up at him, his eyes doting, "I want to know how you got such a cute little daughter for me~"

"Retrieving ......"

It's the word again!

I believe more and more that the little girl in front of me is related to her two brothers.

Xu Jin, who was following behind the three of them, noticed his father's words again, and unconsciously repeated them gently, so that Xiao Ji, who was walking beside him, heard it, she touched the arm of the man next to her, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jin turned his head and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just happy that my father got his daughter 3"

"Ah, that's it. The girl nodded as if she understood what Xu Jin meant.

Su Su, who was next to the two, had a sparkling gaze and did not speak.

Xu Heng still didn't notice what his brother cared about very much, glanced at Shangguan Tingxue with a smile, and began to slowly tell the process of the two meeting: "The first time I met Tingxue was in a small county in Zhentai Province......

While telling the story of how the two met and what happened in Xijing, they came to Ye Chundong's residence.

A little embarrassment happened here: Ye Chundong originally just prepared pastries for Shangguan Tingxue alone, but he didn't expect so many people to follow, so everyone basically only got one or two pieces, and most of them were piled up in front of Shangguan Tingxue.

Xu Heng spoke, Shangguan Tingxue and Su Su added from time to time, and Xu Jing, Xu Jin and other people who had not experienced this matter listened. Speak carefully and listen carefully. The story was very long, and they didn't finish it until Shangguan Tingxue put all the pastries in his stomach.

"It's really a thrilling story," Xu Jing praised Xu Heng's behavior after listening to the whole story, "Heng'er, you haven't traveled in vain this trip to the rivers and lakes, and you have grown a lot of ability." He turned to Shangguan Tingxue and Su Su, "You two are also doing well, you deserve to be good sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes!"

"My father (Uncle Xu) has won the award. ”

Xu Heng and Su Su bowed their heads modestly, but Shangguan Tingxue was unceremonious, and his eyes turned into stars: "Brother is amazing, he even guessed the plan of that prince!"

"Sister Su is also amazing! When she faced that prince, there were so many people in black behind him, Sister Su was not afraid at all, and she dared to block his way in the face of so many people in black! I didn't even have time to show up!"

"Okay, it's all amazing! We are also very good at listening to the snow!" Xu Jing praised the girl with a smile, and glanced at Xu Heng lightly, implying reproach.

Although Xu Heng was still at ease, the smile on his face was a little unbearable.

During the final decisive battle of the General's Mansion in Xijingcheng, Su Su faced Ru Yan Xinpeng alone, he knew about this matter, and he expected it, he asked Shangguan Tingxue to return to the General's Mansion to protect Su Su, he knew the result, and he never asked about the process.

But he really didn't know that Shangguan Tingxue didn't show up! According to Shangguan Tingxue's character, it is estimated that he would not take the initiative to tell her about this.

In this way, in Su Su's eyes, he did abandon her to jackals, tigers and leopards for the sake of the stability of Xijing Erfu and the stability of the Yang Dynasty, and put her in danger, just like that, he has not asked or complained about himself...... Xu Heng secretly glanced at the woman beside him with low eyebrows and drooping eyes, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he felt difficult to understand.

After eating the pastries, everyone accompanied Shangguan Tingxue to play in the palace until late at night, and when Xu Jing felt tired, they dispersed one after another, ending Xu Jing's day back to the palace.

……

It was night, Shangguan Tingxue, who had been playing and excited for a day, had just fallen asleep, and Su Su sat on the edge of the bed staring at the little girl's sleeping face, she didn't move for a long time, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Tuk tuk" knocked on the door, Su Su turned his head to look and saw a figure reflected in the window.

"Su Su, have you slept? I have something to tell you. ”

The familiar figure and voice are Xu Heng.

With a smile on her face, the woman got out of bed and walked to the door, paused, put away her smile, put on her usual cold face, and opened the door.

……

"Childe, is Miss Tingxue really the master's daughter?"

"Hmm. ”

"It can't be that coincidental. Heng Gongzi casually recognized a righteous sister and found his own sister?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's been going back and forth, Childe, do you agree or don't agree. ”

"Ah," Xu Jin closed his eyes and said leisurely, "I mean, it doesn't matter, whether it's my father's biological daughter, me and Xu Heng's own sister, it doesn't matter, my father likes it." “

"Besides, I like her a lot, and I feel very close to her when I see her for the first time. ”

"But ......"

"So be it. Xu Jin turned over, opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him and said, "I'm going to sleep." ”

"Oh......"

"I'm going to sleep. Xu Jin repeated it again.

"Childe, you sleep, sleep, sleep," Xiao Ji blinked, was pulled by the quilt, and smiled, "I will sleep when I see Childe sleeping." ”

Seeing that Xiao Xi had no consciousness at all, Xu Jin sighed and said, "Take down the hand on my chest." ”

"Hey, hey, hey," Xiao Ji withdrew her hand and said with a wry smile, "I didn't find out before, it turns out that Childe's figure is so good." ”

"And the leg that was on top of me. ”

"People have cold feet in winter! Childe can't help people warm???

Xiao Xi began to be coquettish to Xu Jin, but the latter's face did not change: "Your feet have warmed up." ”

"Woo woo," Xiao Ji retracted her foot aggrievedly.

Xu Jin crushed the gap between the quilts between the two of them, closed his eyes, and no longer paid attention to the girl who was pregnant with spring in his heart.

Xiao Xi was quite angry and lay in her quilt, looking at the son with closed eyes beside her, her eyes rolled, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She quietly took off the last shirt on her body in the quilt, lifted the quilt, slowly leaned towards Xu Jin, pressed on the quilt of Jin Gongzi, hung her head in Xu Jin's ear, and moaned softly: "Isn't it, childe, don't you want to ......?"

Xu Jin didn't even open his eyes: "I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the court." ”

Xiao Xi froze there, and after a long time, she felt cold and cold, so she retracted back to her pillow, wrapped the quilt tightly and turned around, and snorted heavily.

Although the girl's childish side did not appear in the eyes of the man in the same bed, it appeared in his heart, and after the girl next to him fell asleep, a smile rippled on the corner of his mouth.

……

This night, there were others who slept late.

Xu Zhen and Pu Feng walked together on the way back to the room.

The young man clasped his arms behind his head and followed the man in black, walking absentmindedly, but his eyes were completely unsightly. They had already walked a long way, and he didn't say a word, which made Pu Feng, who was used to the noisy teenagers, a little uncomfortable, and looked at the teenagers around him from time to time, and his concern was overflowing.

After observing for a long time, Pu Feng coughed and asked the young man beside him, "What, what's on your mind?"

"Ah," the young man suddenly came back to his senses, answered, looked at the man next to him after speaking, and said blankly, "Brother Pu, what did you ask me just now?"

Sure enough, there is something on the mind. Pu Feng smiled and asked another question: "I just asked, do you like Shangguan Tingxue?"

"Ah?!" Xu Zhen's face immediately turned red, and he quickly turned his face away, and said angrily, "Brother Pu, why do you ask such a question!"

After speaking, he said to himself: "Listen to Xue, her father-in-law is the prince of Dayang, and her brother is a hero on the rivers and lakes, countless people spoil her, what do you want, how dare a nameless ghost like me like her!"

"Haha......" It was really a matter of the young man's mind, Pu Feng listened to the young man's muttering that seemed to give up on himself, and he only felt a little funny, and couldn't help laughing.

Because of trust, he said his thoughts without scruples, but he didn't expect it to cause a big laugh, Xu Zhen was anxious: "Brother Pu, you, what are you laughing at!"

I laughed...... Laughing ......"

The man in black laughed so much that he couldn't even speak, Xu Zhen's face turned even redder, but he didn't know what to do, Pu Feng laughed for a long time before stopping, and said to the angry young man: "If a nameless little ghost doesn't dare to like the daughter of the prince of the Yang Dynasty and the sister of the Chengying Sword Master, then what about the big disciple of the Bladeless Sword Sect?

"Bladeless Sword Sect, Great Disciple?!"

Xu Zhen's tough face was replaced by shock, he looked at the man in black in front of him in surprise, seeing that the man's serious appearance didn't look like he was joking, he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.

"Brother Pu doesn't dislike me for being from a humble background and shallow foundation and wants to take me as an apprentice, I am very willing, but Brother Xu once said......"

Facing the bladeless sword master who was full of admiration, Xu Zhen hesitated, Xu Heng once said that he would accept him as an apprentice, although he said that he had just taught him a set of internal skills, and he didn't ask him again, but after all, he said such a sentence, and it seemed a little ...... to just transfer to Pufeng's sect like this

But Brother Pu has invited me like this, and I am still hesitating here, will it make him think that I am greedy for Brother Xu's identity and status?!Thinking of this, he quickly raised his head and explained: "Brother Pu, I am not coveting Brother Xu's background and status, but if I don't talk to Brother Xu, it is indeed a little ......."

"Xu Heng is good to say, I just want to ask your opinion. ”

Pu Feng's eyes were blazing, looking at the young man in front of him, waiting for his answer.

"I, I'm ......" Xu Zhen once again looked carefully at the heroic black-clothed man in front of him, fell to his knees suddenly, and shouted loudly:

"The master is above, and the disciple is worshipped!"

"Okay!" Pu Feng praised, the bladeless giant sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and the heavy sword cut through the air, pointing on the young man's shoulder, "From today on, Xu Zhen is the disciple of Pu Feng, the thirty-seventh generation head of my Bladeless Sword Sect!"

"The master is above, and the apprentice will bow down!!" Xu Zhen bowed again.

"Okay-" Pu Feng dragged out a long tone, making Xu Zhen think that he was going to say something impassioned, so he hurriedly listened to it, but unexpectedly, what the rookie master said turned out to be

- "Already, get up, it's not early, it's time to go back to sleep. ”

As soon as the bladeless sword master put away his sword, he turned around and prepared to leave!

Xu Zhen was stunned in place, unable to believe it: The apprenticeship ceremony is over like this?!

Seeing that Pu Feng was about to go away, he quickly got up, ran behind the master, and asked, "Pu, "No, it should be called the master now, he quickly changed his words, "Master, master, is this the end of our sect's apprenticeship ceremony?"

"Huh?" Pu Feng turned around and replied in surprise, "Do you think it's too simple?" But now that the Bladeless Sword Sect has not been rebuilt, there is no way to hold any apprenticeship ceremony, so let's start with Jane this time." He glanced at the stunned young man and couldn't help but smile, "If you feel a little shabby, the Bladeless Sword Sect will be rebuilt in the future, and you can make up for it." ”

That's it......

"Eh, master, no, no need...... Xu Zhen waved his hand, not knowing what expression to use to deal with his new master.

The master and apprentice continued to walk back, and Xu Zhen was still distracted, but not because of another little girl.

Xu Zhenyao thought all the way, and when he came back to his senses, he had already arrived outside the palace guest room.

Seeing that his master was about to turn back to the room to rest, Xu Zhen hurriedly ran down in front of the man in black and asked what he had been thinking about all the way: "Master, master, when will you start teaching me the powerful martial arts of our Wufeng Sword Sect!"

"Great martial arts, what I have always taught you is the core swordsmanship of the Bladeless Sword Sect!"

"Ah?!" Xu Zhen exclaimed, unable to believe it, "But it's obviously not as powerful as what Ma Ye handed over to Brother Chen!"

Ma Xingwen Ma Ye, who was performing martial arts, didn't know why his impression of Chen Changsheng had become particularly good, and he often instructed him in martial arts, especially recently, Chen Changsheng was no longer guided by Pu Feng like Xu Zhen recently. Ma Xingwen taught Chen Changsheng a set of swordsmanship, and with this set of swordsmanship, the latter could already easily defeat Xu Zhen in a one-on-one battle.

That's why he started asking this question right after his apprenticeship.

It's just that the answer given by Pu Feng is unsatisfactory, and the opponent who has been a draw for a long time suddenly surpassed himself, which inevitably made the young man feel a little disappointed. "I will never be Brother Chen's opponent again!"

"That's because you can't have a foundation," Pu Feng knew the frustration of the young man, and happened to take this opportunity to tell her a truth, "Everyone's natural physique and temperament are different, so when learning martial arts and practicing swords, you can't expect everyone to make the same progress." ”

"Your physique is not bad, but it is not too good, the good cultivation method I gave you is very suitable for your physique, which can improve your martial arts to the greatest extent without leaving sequelae, and if you continue to practice step by step, sooner or later you will become a generation of swordsmen." ”

"But if you want to achieve it quickly, you can do it, but it will consume some of your potential, and you can quickly improve your martial arts in the short term, but it is not good for the future, and the level that can be achieved will also be difficult because of short-sightedness for a while. ”
