43. Ability
The knife-wielding boy appeared twice along the way, the first time was on the way out of heaven, the first battle was the first battle of the two of them, and since that time, the person seemed to disappear and could not find a trace, for two consecutive days, Chen Changge didn't even feel the person's breath, the second time was outside the Hongyong Mansion, the man held his breath and hid in the crowd tiptoeing, a knife erupted, if it weren't for Chen Changge's quick reaction, the battle would have suffered a big loss, Chen Changge and Liu Yuanshan fought with them to take advantage of a little, the sound of the fight attracted the soldiers who defended the city, dozens of Hongyong soldiers held goose-headed knives to surround a few people, and the person fled away when he saw this, a group of soldiers want to take down these bold warriors who are fighting on the street.
Seeing the tension, Dong Yu, the old doorman who led a few people into the city that day, squeezed out of the crowd, and saw that it was the righteous man who captured the nobles of the north that day, so he retreated his subordinates, arranged a place for the three of them to live and casually informed a few people of the fate of the rat, and heard that the stolen official was treason and was under the capital punishment Tian Baiyi was extremely relieved, the next day, the three of them went out of Hongyong Mansion under the escort of a team of soldiers, and the soldiers sent out twenty miles to distance themselves from the knife-wielding man, and the three of them did not dare to delay along the way for fear that the elusive knife-wielding boy would come out of somewhere, and the three of them rushed to Xiongzhou City at sunsetγ
Looking at the Xiongzhou on the city gate, a few people couldn't help but be in a trance, this month has been going back and forth for two thousand miles, and the battle between the northern and the reckless man Tianmen Pass and the reckless man has to beware of the elusive knife-wielding young man, Liu Yuanshan let out a long sigh of relief and said: "It's home." β
"Home. Chen Changge muttered and repeated, although it was difficult and difficult along the way, it could be regarded as a lot of progress, although several vicious battles were a little embarrassing, but the spiritual power in the body became more and more refined in the opening and closing, and the grasp of the fire and the opponent was more and more familiar, and he also had a little understanding of that mysterious feeling, the practice of martial arts is really the same as what the master in white said, often the more life and death are at stake, the more he can experience the complex taste that is difficult to read on weekdays, and then there is the young man with the knife, although his traces are difficult to find, but these two confrontations can be regarded as allowing Chen Changge to lay a solid foundation through thisγ
At dusk, the three of them entered the Tianmen Pass, and one mile behind the three of them, the young man in Mai with the knife silently watched the backs of the three people, and the hand holding the scabbard added a little strength, and the sound of horses' hooves crackled on the official road, and the hooves of the two dark brown horses flew and splashed bursts of snow mist past the young man in Mai.
Immediately, one of them was burly and hairy like an animal, and the other was young and one-eared, and the burly man glanced at the knife-wielding young man as he rode by, and continued to ride his horse with a low sneer.

Xiang Mansion, Xiang An, the chief housekeeper of Xiang Mansion, was overjoyed, staggered into the back hall, and shouted loudly: "Master, master, the two sons are back and have brought back the young master's handwritten letter." β
"Really?"
The old man of the Xiang family, who was sleeping lightly in the room, turned over and sat up, since the two left that day, the old man Xiang's heart was a little clearer, and his spirit on weekdays was much stronger, so he was not as weak as before, and asked with a shocked face.
-
After a short time, the chief housekeeper Xiang An thanked Dade for sending a few people out of the house, and bowed to the ground at the backs of the three people, with tears on his face.
Seeing that the old man Xiang's condition improved, the stone in the hearts of the two was also put down, and they didn't dare to disturb more, they handed over a few words of greeting and said goodbye, and Chen Changge and the two of them were in a good mood when they left the mansion, so they couldn't live up to the journey of two thousand miles back and forth.
Liu Yuanshan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Take Miss Tian to taste the three-roasted flower duck of the Warm Pine Pavilion?"
Chen Changge shook his head: "You take her there, I have to go back to see the master first, don't be afraid that the master in white will be angry with me that day." β
Liu Yuanshan's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, he looked at Tian Baiyi and rubbed his hands and said, "That's just right, without your rotten wood scenery, Miss Tian went to my house for a night to be wronged?"
Tian Baiyi unsheathed the long sword in his hand, his eyes were cold and slashed towards Liu Yuanshan, in the past few days, the knife-wielding man was haunted, Liu Yuanshan gave the long sword to Tian Baiyi for her to use for protection, and he hung the red dagger given by the withered man on his waist to show off with others intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu Yuanshan hurriedly shut up when he heard the crisp voice, not daring to speak, for fear that this cold and beautiful woman would slash herself like she cut Tuoba Rock.
Seeing Liu Yuanshan's cowardly appearance, Chen Changge teased and said, "I think it's okay, when the knife-wielding man comes to you, you will use the red dagger to fight him." β
mentioned that Liu Yuanshan, the knife bearer, was even more powerless, and sighed: "What can I do, is it difficult to let the girl go to the temple with you?"
Tian Baiyi glared at Liu Yuanshan, and said coldly: "That's not as disgusting as you." β
"Hey..."Liu Yuanshan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and just wanted to refute something, he looked at the long sword in Tian Baiyi's hand and was deflated, and sighed: "I was going to have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, wasting my affection." β
Chen Changge said bitterly: "Let's go back to the temple first, if the two masters are here, I can also slow down my thoughts, my mind has been too tight these days." β
Tian Baiyi said with apologies: "I'll go by myself tomorrow." β
Chen Changge shook his head and said firmly: "No, that person is here for you, it is too dangerous for you to go by yourself, and there is no master who can escort you in the city in a hurry, even if you find it, if that person is not right, it is more tricky, I promised you, no matter what, I will do it." β
Liu Yuanshan, who has always been timid and afraid of death, was also arrogant, and said with his head held high: "That's it, it's good to have me and Changge to protect you." β
Tian Baiyi looked at the resolute expressions of the two and did not speak, sighed secretly in his heart, looked at the sunset in the west, and thought in a daze, the three of them led the horses slowly, and walked slowly towards the remote and broken temple.

Xiangfu.
Old man Xiang watched a few people walk out of the main hall, he couldn't suppress the thoughts in his heart, picked up the letter with trembling hands, flipped through it and read it several times, and even the people between the lines did not let go of the sorrow for fear of dropping a word, read it a few times before slowly putting down the letter, and held the jade pendant that his son had worn since he was a child in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Holding Xiang Tiancheng's jade pendant in one hand and taking off another jade pendant from the neck with the other hand, the two are a good jade, twenty years ago, the old man of the Xiang family spent a lot of money to carve it in two, and the words on the jade are the names of a pair of children, since the daughter was abducted and brutally killed by the people many years ago, the old man Xiang took the jade pendant from his daughter and never left, and now the two jade pendants are in their own hands, the family of four people separates yin and yang, the old man Xiang slowly came out of two lines of tears, and the scene of the birth of the young son twenty years ago and the gathering of his wife and daughter continues to emerge in his mindγ
Ten thousand taels of gold and silver are not as good as the family and people, but the house is not a four-person square table, the old man Xiang sighed, and the housekeeper Xiang An sent a few people back to the back hall to see that the old man's mind was far away and did not dare to disturb, so he bowed down and stood at his side, waiting for the order.
After a long time, Old Man Xiang came back to his senses, looked at the loyal butler beside him, and said softly: "It's hard work." β
Xiang An said in a panic: "The master is kind to me and reinvents, and I can't talk about hard work." β
The old man of the Xiang family got up and walked out of the main hall, and said slowly: "Send the things over, according to what I said before, the property in the city and the money village are divided into four parts, one for each of the two of them, you take one share, and the rest is left for Tiancheng, if Tiancheng dies on the battlefield, you will take charge of it for him." β
Xiang An heard that he knelt down on his robe, "The young master has his own natural appearance, and the old slave must serve the old master and the young master wholeheartedly, and the matter of giving the old slave's family property must not be done." β
"Go ahead, I'm tired and want to rest. β

Broken temple.
Since the day of the amulet blooming vision, the drunken monk Ji Rong did not dare to delay, two months of travel three or four days back to Xiongzhou, a broken temple to see the letter left by Chen Changge that day, flipped through the laughter and scolded a bastard apprentice, feeling the fluctuations on the amulet is still relieved, waiting for this bastard boy to come back in the broken temple, waiting for more than ten days, this bastard apprentice is still nowhere to be seen, the poor old monk from Xie Wuliang begged for white water glutinous has long been drunk, these days are not allowed to drink only sit and sleep very boring.
The sloppy monk who was sleeping soundly at the offering table heard the footsteps coming from outside the temple and knew that the bastard boy had returned, turned over and sat up, leaning on the offering table with sleepy eyes, waiting for the apprentice to come in to count the falls, seeing the temple door being pushed open, and entering the broken temple in white.
"Three bastard boys, have you learned to say goodbye without saying goodbye?" the old monk yawned and scolded with a smile, and was just about to continue talking, when he opened his eyes and saw Tian Baiyi in a green shirt, he was stunned for a moment, and continued: "You... You are capable, go out and give me an apprentice and daughter-in-law for the monk?"
Chen Changge hurriedly shook his head and argued: "No, friends I met on the road." β
Ji Rong glared and scolded: "It's not you who led a fart, but you were happy for the teacher in vain." β
Tian Baiyi and Liu Yuanshan walked into the broken temple one after another, and Liu Yuanshan smiled evilly: "How can Changge have such great ability, this is my daughter-in-law." β
Tian Baiyi heard that he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, his eyes stared at Liu Yuanshan, if it weren't for the monk's face, he was afraid that the long sword would have been unsheathed and stabbed at Liu Yuanshan.
Liu Yuanshan hurriedly hid beside Chen Changge and said with a smile: "Just kidding, just kidding." β
Liu Yuanshan dodged the long sword in Tian Baiyi's hand but failed to dodge the wine gourd in the hand of the sloppy monk, Ji Rong smashed the empty gourd in his hand at Liu Yuanshan, and scolded with a smile: "You kid is also a coward." β
Liu Yuanshan's shoulder hurt, so he didn't dare to speak, hiding behind Chen Changge for fear that the two of them were doing it, and the mad monk Jirong couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this: "Send the gourd back to grandpa, knock it a little bit, grandpa picked up your skin to make up the gourd." β
"Eh, eh. Liu Yuanshan didn't dare to refuse, and sent the wine gourd to Ji Rong.
Ji Rong took the wine gourd and made a fake action in his hand, Liu Yuanshan hurriedly dodged and hid behind Chen Changge, Ji Rong scolded with a smile: "Do you dare to talk nonsense?"
Liu Yuanshan said tremblingly: "Don't dare, don't dare." β
"Bastard boy. Ji Rong laughed angrily at Liu Yuanshan's frightened expression, muttered, and then looked at Tian Baiyi, who looked handsome in green clothes, waved his hand and smiled: "Come and sit down." β
Tian Baiyi had a rare smile on his face, and Shi Li chuckled:
"I've seen Master Jirong. β
