After that, the scene fell silent again, and the two of them seemed to be like this forever, and they could only say three words.

Finally, after a while, Jiang Xiaoru put away his pen, and the entire painting was completed.

Jiang Chang'an walked over, only to see that the painting is the scenery of the plum pavilion, plum blossoms all the way, red petals are the majority, and there is a road in the middle from near to far, until it is ethereal.

And on the road is the most interesting part of the whole painting, there are two teenagers at the central station, one tall and one short.

In this painting, the two teenagers can only see their backs, and one walks in front, and the cold wind in front of them rolls up the snow.

Behind him, the snow melted away from the road he walked, leaving a bright red like a petal, but a little less like a flower. The lively boy who was shorter than him behind him walked on it, and the spring breeze was warm.

"It's boring. Jiang Chang'an said.

Jiang Xiaoru said with a smile: "Speaking of this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can't catch up with you anyway, but since you can't understand this painting, you have to think about what kind of high price it is." ”

"You forced me to come back on the grounds that my mother was seriously ill, did you come up with this bad idea?" Jiang Changan asked helplessly.

"If it's useful, how can it be said to be a bad idea. Jiang Xiaoru looked at Jiang Chang'an and said, "Do you know, you surprise me very much, I can't help but be able to practice again, and there is also divine help." ”

"Then are you happy or afraid?" Jiang Changan looked at the scenery in the distance, as if he had no intention of teasing.

Jiang Xiaoru chuckled silently.

Jiang Changan said to himself: "In the past few years, I have been thinking about the things of the past, and I have thought about thousands of possibilities, but I have never been able to figure it out. ”

"Don't understand what?"

Jiang Changan's joking eyes suddenly looked at Jiang Xiaoru with a solemn look, and squeezed out from between his teeth word by word: "Does my second brother's death have anything to do with you?!"

"What if I say yes?"

Jiang Changan's eyes were even colder: "Then I will definitely kill you!"

Jiang Xiaoru just finished the pen after the stroke, the scene was extremely quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.

Everything around seemed to have suddenly fallen into stagnation, and all the surrounding environment was shattered and shattered, and the picturesque Plum Pavilion turned into a red wall of golden tiles in the blink of an eye.

In the long empty street, there were only Jiang Changan and Jiang Xiaoru in a wheelchair.

A few people swayed in the distance, and it was the scene of that year, Jiang Xiaoru and Jiang Lingfeng were ordered to enter Beijing.

Jiang Xiaoru's usual smiling face remained unchanged, as if no one or anything in this world could make him worry, until a group of people passed in front of him, and that face was still smiling.

Jiang Changan was finally convinced that he couldn't see anything, so he could only put away the illusion in disappointment, and everything returned to the original state.

"Are you using the exercises of the demon clan?!" Jiang Xiaoru said: "You should know that if you are found to be using the exercises of the demon clan by a group of people who talk about the word righteousness all day long, you will end up in a situation where you are in prison." ”

"I know. Jiang Chang'an's expression softened, and he felt it very real in the Qinglian Sect.

"I don't even know when I'm going to die, do you think I still care? As long as it can help me do what I want to do, whether it's a demon or a human, does it matter at that time?"

Jiang Xiaoru said with a smile: "I heard that you came back this time and brought a little girl, what's wrong? I just don't know what my brother will become if this little girl suddenly disappears like Jiang Lingfeng?"

Before the words fell, Jiang Changan had already rushed to his eyes, the golden light was on his neck, his eyes were bloodshot and red from rage, and he said hideously:

"I warn you, don't try to touch my bottom line-"

Jiang Xiaoru smiled even more and said, "If I move, what will you do?"

"Since I dare to kill a Nine Emperor Worm into the chaos for three years, I also dare to kill a second young man of the Jiang family for ten years, if you don't believe it, let's try!"

Looking at each other, the momentum of saber rattling intensified.

Outside the Mei Pavilion, Jiang Qizhen, who had a full view of everything, did not have any intention of obstructing her, and she didn't know whether she was used to it or expected, so she didn't have a little worry on her face.

At the same time, the surrounding subordinates also retreated silently as if they had discussed, Jiang Chang'an relaxed his strength, sat on the stone steps, and looked into the distance.

Jiang Xiaoru asked, "How long will you stay when you come back this time?"

"How long will you stay?" Jiang Changan also asked himself, and then shook his head.

Jiang Xiaoru said: "Soon after, it will be the annual Qingxiu Conference competition in Jiangzhou, this time you just came back, I don't know how many people dream of watching your jokes or telling our Jiang family's jokes." If you don't want to go, I'll stop you on the grounds that you're sick. ”

The Qingxiu Conference, a well-known competition in Jiangzhou, in which each family sent young and handsome descendants of each family to participate in the competition.

This conference Jiang Chang'an will never forget, he has been given endless humiliation since he was a child, as a waste person whose spiritual cultivation has stagnated halfway, and he was born in a family like the Jiang family, he was naturally chewed by countless people secretly.

Until later, Jiang Changan directly refused to participate in the Qingxiu Conference, and even the entire Jiang family was not allowed to talk about any matters related to the conference.

Jiang Changan said with a smile: "So many people want to see my jokes, how can I disappoint them? This time I not only want to go, but also win the scenery! This is also a shame." I remember that there was a so-called dinner tea party before the conference, which should be there in a few days. ”

There was a hint of disdain in Jiang Changan's eyes, this dinner party was a tea tasting party, but in fact it was just a meeting for all the contestants.

The purpose is nothing more than to let loose cruel words and add fuel to the fierce atmosphere of the conference.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Jiang Changan took out a long brocade box and put it on the case.

"What?" Jiang Xiaoru said curiously.

"A broken bone, I think it's pretty good and I got it back, although it may be dangerous to change the bone, but you don't care about the situation of your legs, it's better to try." There is also your painting, although you have done it in five colors, but the painting is more about the amount of water that is transferred, and the length of the brushstrokes is slowed down, and at the same time, the ink does not hinder the color, the color does not hinder the ink, the light realism, and the heavy meaning. Your painting is so-so, and it has the posture of a market painter, and it can be regarded as a little progressive. ”

With that, Jiang Changan got up and patted the dust and left.

Jiang Xiaoru looked at the brocade box quietly, and unconsciously, he fell into a trance.

What hasn't changed is the smile on his face.

After a long time, he laughed loudly: "Come on, talk about this painting carefully framed in this painting plum pavilion!"

On a pavilion specially prepared for guests in the Jiang family, Xia Leling stopped on the top floor, looking at it from afar, and the scene under the overlook was not much different from when he came to Jiangzhou to play.

Sometimes the eyes are nostalgic, bursts of joy, and sometimes frowning.

"Sister, why don't you go to Jiang Changan and explain the things of the year directly?" Xia Qi asked with concern.

Xia Leling didn't answer, this question already had an answer when he was in the Qinglian Sect.

Xia Qi thought of Jiang Lingfeng, and quickly shut up about it, and said:

"I have heard that there is a person in Jiangzhou whose talent is even more than Jiang Lingfeng, his swordsmanship is amazing, and he actually broke into the Jiang family, which is full of organs, and is known as the next person who may become a sword saint, it is rumored that this person has been in the Jiang family for many years, I don't know if Sister Ah has heard of it?"

Xia Leling looked at the Star Picking Tower and said, "I have also met with him. ”

"Really! Is that man really as evil as the rumors say?"

Xia Leling shook his head, "Back then, he was about the same age as you. ”

"About the same size, what's his name?"

Xia Leling thought for a moment and said, "Night...... Listen to the snow. ”

"What a strange surname, such a strange name, where would anyone have the surname Yeqi?"

Xia Leling shook his head: "What's even stranger is that he is a swordsman, a swordsman born with eight fingers." ”

"Born ...... Eight fingers!"

Xia Qi couldn't believe that whether a person lost his thumb or little thumb, it was impossible to lift any blade with one palm, but this person held a sword, a sword that could break through into Jiangfu!

Xia Leling explained: "Decades ago, the city lord of Jiangzhou City was named Night General, and his ambition drove the Night General to rebel against the Xia Zhou Kingdom and establish himself as the Xizhao Kingdom. But soon after, the Jiangzhou rebels were swept away by the night, and the night will be killed, and this night will listen to the snow, which is the biological son of the night general, and he was five years old that year. ”

"Are you saying that the Jiang family is the force that swept away the rebels? That's why this night boy is desperately trying to kill the Jiang family?"

Xia Leling nodded and looked at the snow in the distant mountains, and said melancholy: "The five-year-old night boy takes the lion and tiger as his friend, the wolf as his friend, and regards the vast mountain snow as his biggest enemy, and sits alone in the bitter cold land for twenty years!"

"Isn't that right?" Xia Qi said curiously, "His spiritual power is already beyond ordinary people according to common sense, how can he be a powerhouse in the Dao Fruit Realm now, but how could such a character fall under the Jiangzhou Spirit Rune Agency?"

You must know that although the spirit rune mechanism is exquisite, for some people who are slightly skilled in spiritual manipulation, they can detect these mechanisms in advance with the keenness.

Even some masters of Jiang Mansion can't help it, and it is impossible for them to lose to a small organ.

Xia Leling smiled lightly: "Because he has no rank!
