Chapter 229: Sunset
The sun sets in the west and the evening breeze blows. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the sunset is beautiful, it is like a flower that is about to wither, how not to make people regret?
The sunset is like a twilight year.
The sunset can become the rising sun, but why can't the twilight years become the prime of life?
When people are old, is it the body that grows old first, or the heart that grows old?
Sunset Hills
A splendid terrace with glazed tiles on the eaves.
The sunset shines on the glazed tiles, like a sea of gold.
Su Qianye stood alone in the attic and looked out.
He's been thinking about a question lately.
Is he old?
He is indeed not young, but he, like many old people, does not want to grow old and refuses to grow old.
Standing on the pavilion and looking at Jiang Yuecheng, who had worked hard all his life, this may also be a kind of comfort in his heart.
The wrinkled corners of his eyes made him look old, but her eyes shone brightly.
It was a longing eye.
The neatly trimmed sideburns already show signs of graying.
He was neatly dressed, clean, but not luxurious.
He kept telling himself that maybe he wasn't old yet, maybe he could still gamble.
At this time, an old servant walked behind Su Qianye, and the old servant looked older than him.
The old servant looked at Su Qianye before slowly saying, "Master"
Su Qianye said, "Is Tianlan here?"
The old servant said, "I haven't come yet, but there are other guests"
Su Qianye said, "Who?"
The old servant said, "Lord Yan Xue Tianyan of the Ministry of War, and Mu Chen"
Su Qianye turned around, stared at the old servant, and said in a low voice, "Mu Chen, why did he meet Lord Yan?"
After a while, he said, "I'll go now, and you can arrange for the two of you to go to the front hall."
The old servant said "yes"
The old servant left.
Mu Chen sat quietly in the guest seat, the sword in his hand.
Tea is steaming.
The old servant said, "Mr. Mu and Mr. Yan, the city lord will come in a while."
Yan Xuetian did not show impatience because of his high official position, but drank tea patiently.
The old servant stared at the sword in Mu Chen's hand and said, "Mr. Mu, there is a rule in our courtyard that no one is allowed to bring a sword in."
Mu Chen said, "Why?"
The old servant said, "This... This rule is the rule."
Mu Chen smiled, "Do you know that this sword is very important to me"
Suddenly heard a person outside the door: "For those who practice swords, swords are naturally very important"
Before the words fell, a person had already walked into the hall, this person was dressed in white and green shirts, his face was like white jade, and a judge's pen was inserted in his waist.
Mu Chen recognized this as Simon Ci.
Simon Ci didn't wait for others to speak, and said, "Mr. Mu, I know that you are skilled in swordsmanship, but here, we have no hostility, and you don't need a sword, so it is better to give a favor to your subordinates and abide by the rules of my manor."
Mu Chen said, "But you also brought a weapon"
As he spoke, he stared at the judge's pen on Simon's waist.
Ximen Ci was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a person outside the door, "Mu Daxia, he is a person in the manor, and he is my uncle's personal guard, so he is naturally unrestricted."
As he spoke, a man walked in through the door.
This person is about the same age as Mu Chen, wearing white clothes and white pants, and holding a folding fan in his hand.
This person Yan Xuetian may not know, but Mu Chen recognizes it.
He is Su Tianlan, who was defeated by Mo Yuntian on Huashan.
Su Tianlan walked into the house and smiled, "Brother Mu, what I said makes sense?"
Mu Chen smiled, "The truth is right, but Master Su, the person who can betray you is often the person closest to you"
Ximen Ci said coldly: "What does Mr. Mu mean by this?"
Su Tianlan stretched out his hand and motioned to Ximen Ci not to speak.
He stared into Mu Chen's eyes, and Mu Chen stared into his eyes.
Su Tianlan suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just joking with Brother Mu, Uncle Wu, Brother Mu's sword doesn't need to be accepted."
The old servant said, "Yes, I'll go make tea for the young master."
Su Tianlan said, "Brother Ximen, Brother Jiang is looking for you, I think it is necessary for you to go over."
Ximen Ci glared at Mu Chen, turned and left.
Su Tianlan said, "Brother Mu, don't mind"
Yan Xue Tiandao: "May I ask who Your Excellency is?"
Su Tianlan said, "Send Su Tianlan in Xiataishan"
Yan Xue Tiandao: "The head of the Taishan faction is Your Excellency?"
Su Tianlan smiled, "Exactly"
As he spoke, the old servant walked over to a few people, made tea for Su Tianlan, and then quietly retreated.
Yan Xue Tiandao, "It seems that the identity of the head of Su is not ordinary, that is, the head of the house, and the young master of this Sunset Mountain Villa"
Su Tianlan smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that I can't take over this Jiangyue City, so I let you down Yan Shangshu."
Yan Xuetian smiled and continued, "Can Master Su explain why he is not allowed to bring weapons in Jinzhuang?"
Su Tianlan took a sip of tea and smiled indifferently, "No, it's not that you can't bring weapons, you can bring any weapon when you come to Sunset Villa, but you can't bring a sword."
Mu Chen said, "Why?"
Su Tianlan said, "Uncle is a sword idiot, plus his aunt passed away, and he left no heirs, in addition to managing Jiang Yue City, my uncle spent most of his time studying swordsmanship, so his swordsmanship has long been superb, but it is also that he is too obsessed with swords, and he can't see others use swords, if anyone dares to bring the sword to Sunset Villa, my uncle will definitely have a competition with this person, so I set this rule, but also to give Brother Mu a lot of trouble left for you."
Mu Chen said, "Then you can't do it either?"
Su Tianlan said, "Except for my uncle to teach me swordsmanship, I can't wear a sword in front of him."
Mu Chen said, "Since City Lord Su has no heirs, then Brother Su must be his successor."
Su Tianlan shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, "It's a pity that my talent is dull, after the death of my family teacher, I didn't learn the complete Taishan swordsmanship, my brother also passed away, my swordsmanship has only been practiced to the current level under the guidance of my uncle, my kung fu, Brother Mu, you have seen it, so my uncle's expectations for me are not high."
Mu Chen has indeed seen Su Tianlan's swordsmanship, although he can be unique in the martial arts, but he is still decades away from being a real master.
Yan Xue Tiandao: "Master Su has been living in this Sunset Mountain Villa?"
Su Tianlan shook his head and said, "I have just come here, so I naturally want to be in Mount Tai in normal times, and I only come to my uncle to learn swordsmanship at the beginning of summer."
Yan Xue Tian said, "Then Master Su, have you ever heard of the recent murder case?"
Su Tianlan shook his head and said, "I have never asked about things outside the martial arts, and the famous people in the martial arts are alive and well, could it be that someone in the court is dead?"
Yan Xuetian sighed and said, "Forget it, you don't know about this matter."
As he spoke, a man walked in at the door.
Su Tianlan immediately stood up when he saw this person, and said respectfully, "Uncle, nephew to see uncle"
Su Qianye nodded, walked in front of Yan Xuetian and said, "Old minister Su Qianye, see Yan Shangshu"
Yan Xue Tiandao "Su City Lord doesn't have to be polite"
Su Qianye said, "Thank you Yan Shangshu"
He walked up to Mu Chen and said, "This is Mu Chen, Mu Shaoxia?"
Mu Chen stood up and said respectfully, "Senior Su, the younger generation is polite."
Su Qianye nodded with a smile, and Huo Ran looked at the sword in Mu Chen's hand.
Su Tianlan immediately said, "Uncle, it's not early this day, my nephew is a little hungry, it's better to let someone cook some food first."
Su Qianye came back to his senses and said, "Okay, come here"
The old servant walked in again.
Su Tianlan said, "Uncle Wu, I'm sorry for you"
Uncle Wu said, "Yes, I'll arrange it"
Su Qianye said, "What are the two of you coming to me?"
