This night, Liu Shaoyang's master and apprentice took advantage of the moonlight and boated on Hongze Lake. Fang Tianlu was drunk after a lot of drinking, I don't know what day it is, and I can't be happy.

In the next few days, Fang Liu's master and apprentice spent the whole day studying metaphysics and the art of war in the Daozang Pavilion, or looking through firearm sketches and instrument drawings in the secret room of the ground array.

Fang Tianlu will teach what he has learned, Liu Shaoyang's understanding is quite high, and he loves this way by nature, and he is willing to work hard. The two have been apprentices for many years, and the professor is even more familiar with the research.

In this way, time passed, and nearly a month passed in a flash. On this day, the master and apprentice were reading the military book and the tactics of war in the Daozang Pavilion, and said that in the "Sima Art of War" in the seven books of the Wujing, "Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous." The world is flat, the Son of Heaven is Dakai, and the spring is full of autumn".

Fang Tianlu couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Shicheng in the past year, the world was not at peace and did not want to forge ahead, but he liked comfort in troubled times, and reused greedy and incompetent ministers. So that the temple sang and danced up and down, did not repair ordnance, had no combat power, and finally perished the country, and lived up to the love of the loyal and brave people and the people.

Liu Shaoyang saw that the master was sad when he recalled the past, and he was relieved. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of the pavilion door downstairs, and there was a happy voice from the little boy Xuanqing, who seemed to have come to a very good friend.

Fang Tianlu looked at it and said to Liu Shaoyang: "Yang'er, let's talk about it here for the time being." Let's go, go downstairs and see who's coming, and see that little ghost in Xuanqing is happy. ”

The two put down their books and got up and went downstairs. As soon as he turned the corner of the stairs, he saw Xiao Hei holding Dao Tong Xuanqing in the air to tease, his eyes full of laughter, and Shui Xuanling holding his waist on the side and giggling.

Fang Tianlu saw that it was them, turned back to Liu Shaoyang and smiled: "Ah, your two friends are coming to you, I'm afraid you little ghost won't be able to stay here with your master." ”

Xiao Hei and Shui Xuanling also saw Fang Liu and the others coming downstairs at this time, Liu Shaoyang saw Xiao Hei, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hei, your brother Shaoyang took your two bottles of aged daughter red, and you actually chased here." That's too stingy, isn't it?"

When Xiao Hei heard this, his face turned red with a dark face, and he said, "Brother Shaoyang, don't talk nonsense, I'm here to ask you to go back to drink and chat." Sister Xuanling also wants you to go back to the helm, so the two of us will come to you together. ”

Before he finished speaking, Xuan Qing on the side pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, Brother Xiaohei, you are a liar! Just now I said that you came to see Lord Fang and Xuan Qing with Sister Xuan Ling, but it turned out that you wanted to ask Brother Shaoyang to go back!"

On the other hand, Shui Xuanling heard Xiao Hei's words, and his pretty face flushed, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Lord Fang, don't listen to Xiao Hei's nonsense! Xuan Ling is here to see your old man." Regardless of whether Senior Brother Liu goes back or not, Xuan Ling will also live here for a few days to accompany you in your old age. ”

Fang Tianlu stroked his long hair and said with a smile: "Hehe, is your little girl really old and confused when you are Grandpa Fang? I don't understand anymore, the name of 'Five Elements Zhizun' is really called in vain." ”

Xiao Hei grinned and said, "Strange old man...... No, Venerable Fang, it's still your old man who has knowledge!When Sister Xuan Ling said she was coming, she didn't say that just now......

Before the words fell, Shui Xuanling was already in a hurry: "Xiao Hei, did you drink too much on the road?

Xiao Hei stopped talking, looked sideways at Shui Xuanling, and wanted to speak again. saw Shui Xuanling raise his head with a red face, and glared at him with a pair of water-cut eyes. Even though Xiao Hei had something to say, he just "hum!" and swallowed it back.

Liu Shaoyang encountered such a scene, and it was not embarrassing to stand aside. Fang Tianlu's face was slightly playful, and he said with a smile: "It's okay to think that you are less yang, even if you say it directly, what's the big deal!"

Shui Xuanling froze, raised his face and said to Fang Tianlu: "Grandpa Fang, the Lord of the Lu Sect will be fiftieth birthday in twenty days. The three of us were brought up by the Lord of Lu Men since childhood, and we dare not forget the grace of parenting. The two of us actually wanted to go to Jinling, the capital of the Ming Court, with Senior Brother Liu! I heard that it is a prosperous place in the world, and there are a variety of goods and everything. Xiao Hei and I have never been to Jinling, but Senior Brother Liu has been there a few times. With Senior Brother Liu leading the way, we also went to the storefronts of those large and small markets to see what kind of items to buy and make birthday gifts for our father-in-law. ”

It turned out that Shui Xuanling loved to play with Liu Shaoyang since he was a child, and when he was a little older, a heart was tied to Liu Shaoyang, and he only felt happy to be with him. Lu Zitong's fiftieth birthday is imminent, and Shui Xuanling is thinking about going to Jinling with Liu Shaoyang to purchase a birthday gift. And because the lonely men and widows are too visible, they want to pull Xiao Hei with them.

She knew that Fang Tianlu had a good mind, and if she said it directly, her mind would inevitably be seen through by him. wanted Xiao Hei to call Liu Shaoyang back, and she proposed to go to Jinling to buy a birthday gift together. I never thought that Xiao Hei's words would be straightforward, which would make her so embarrassed, and she had to say it bluntly about choosing a birthday gift.

Xiao Hei was first taken aback when he heard Shui Xuanling's words, and his dark face immediately flashed with excitement, and he said strangely: "Hey, Sister Xuanling, did you say that you want to go to Jinling? I heard that there are a lot of interesting things in Jinling, but you didn't say anything when you came!"

Shui Xuanling turned his head and scolded softly: "Xiao Hei just talks a lot about you! ”

These days, Liu Shaoyang only cares about being in the metaphysical art of war and consulting the classics. burned the anointing all day long, without distractions, and really forgot Lu Zitong's fiftieth birthday. Now when he heard Shui Xuanling mention it, he couldn't help but secretly scream ashamed.

Fang Tianlu groaned slightly, turned to Liu Shaoyang and said, "Xuanling, this girl is right, Lord Lu Men treats you like a biological father. You should indeed go to Jinling to pick up a birthday gift, and take advantage of Brother Lu's fiftieth birthday, you should also make him happy!"

Liu Shaoyang looked ashamed and said, "Master, Shaoyang has been gone for nearly a year, and he has only lived with Master for a month when he comes back." I had just asked the master for some knowledge, and then I was about to leave again. ”

Fang Tianlu looked kind and said with a smile: "What's the matter, young people should walk outside more." It's a great thing that you have such knowledge at such a young age. This time, remember to come and see me often, an old man. At this point, he suppressed his voice and quipped: "If you don't let your little ghost go back, Xuanling, this kid should be unhappy." ”

Shui Xuanling heard it clearly, her pretty face was red again, and she bowed her head and said nothing. Over the years, Liu Shaoyang has long realized in his heart that Shui Xuanling treats himself better than others. At the beginning, I only felt that it was a matter of course for my senior sister to take care of my junior brother. Moreover, since he was a child, he heard his uncle Lu Zitong say that his parents died at the hands of assassins sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he only wanted to learn skills so that he could find Zhu Yuanzhang to avenge his parents. Shui Xuanling's every move, he never thought about it elsewhere.

Later, when I got older, I gradually understood the feelings of children, and I also thought that it was not so simple. It's just that he grew up with Shui Xuanling when he was a child, and he treated her like his own sister. Shui Xuanling is about a year older than him, and he is already twenty-one this year. At the age of an ordinary woman, she has already left the cabinet to marry a wife. Although Shui Xuanling is a person in the rivers and lakes, he has also reached the age of talking about marriage. A few years ago, Lu Zitong wanted to tell her about her family, but she prevaricated. Lu Zitong knew that she already had someone she liked, so the matter of kissing was put aside.

Liu Shaoyang thought secretly in his heart: "The martial arts character of several senior brothers is excellent, and most of them are interested in senior sisters, but senior sisters have only been ignored all these years. How can I be so favored by her? Look at the opportunity, you have to enlighten her. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Shaoyang said with a haha: "Master, you are old, but you will make jokes about your juniors." ”

Fang Tianlu is so smart, listening to Liu Shaoyang's words, he knows his intentions. sighed lightly, turned the conversation and said, "Okay, it's not too early this day." Since the three of you are leaving, let's hurry back!"

The three of them said goodbye to Fang Tianlu, returned to the helm and packed up some clothes and silver taels to bring when they went out. I slept for the night and set off for Jinling early the next morning.

Although Liu Shaoyang often runs errands outside, Shui Xuanling and Xiao Hei rarely go far away. The three of them headed south, chatting and laughing along the way, passing through many market towns.

Xiao Hei couldn't help the joy in his heart, he stayed in Huai'an for the past few years, and he felt that the world was vast and everything he saw was fresh.

Although there are hundreds of large and small ships in charge of the Holy Water Banner in charge of Shui Xuanling, they are responsible for the ferry and cargo trafficking of merchants in the wharves of Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Fengyang. But Shui Xuanling has only been taking care of the accounts in Huai'an for many years, and rarely walks outside, so he is very happy to go out this time.

On this day, the three of them arrived at Guazhou City on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then crossed the rolling Yangtze River moat to the south at the foot of the Jinling Emperor. Liu Shaoyang drove through the city on horseback, and unconsciously passed by the Hongyan Tower. Looking at the comings and goings of the upstairs and downstairs drinkers, I remembered that day when I was drinking upstairs with Lu Baichuan, and I met the girl in purple and Liu Jingtian fighting. In my mind, for no reason, the charm of the woman in purple appeared, with a pretty demeanor and a slight distraction.

Shui Xuanling saw Liu Shaoyang staring at Hongyan Tower, but he didn't expect so much, so he opened his mouth and asked softly: "Senior brother, is this what you said about Hongyan Tower in front of everyone when you talked about the hero Jiang Ziyan in the past? This restaurant is located on the edge of the city, with a glance at the Yangtze River, it is really a good place to drink and enjoy the scenery." ”

Liu Shaoyang came back to his senses when he heard Shui Xuanling's question, and replied with a smile: "It's this restaurant, it's a pity that my senior sister didn't see the wonderful situation that day." ”

Several people crossed the river by ferry, the Yangtze River in the afternoon of summer, the river water surged from the sky, and it was like a giant python with golden scales, raising its head and probing its claws, and went away.

Xiao Hei begged in Xuzhou since he was a child, and later followed Lu Zitong to Huai'an, and he had never seen such a mighty river. Sitting in the boat and chewing dried and fresh fruits, I was amazed for a while, and I was stupid for a while. Shui Xuanling and Liu Shaoyang watched from the sidelines, and they both found it interesting.

Liu Shaoyang looked at Xiao Hei's strange appearance and teased: "Xiao Hei, if you are so crazy and crazy, you will scare others away!"

Xiao Hei muttered: "Brother Shaoyang, I only knew that there are so many good places in the world when I came out with you!

Shui Xuanling on the side listened to it and said dissatisfiedly: "You little black! If I hadn't said that I wanted to come out, you would have stayed in the helm all day long and knew how to eat, and you would have talked the most after eating! Now that you have a good time coming out, don't you know thank you, sister, me?"

Xiao Hei listened to it and said with a smile: "Hehe, Sister Xuanling and Xiao Hei look like each other, they are Xiao Hei's own sister, do you need to say thank you?"

As soon as he said this, Liu Shaoyang already laughed out loud. Shui Xuanling was slightly stunned, and suddenly said angrily: "Okay, you hairy child! I took you out with good intentions, and you scolded me for being as black as you?"

Saying that he raised his pink fist to fight, Xiao Hei had already slipped behind Liu Shaoyang and shouted: "Sister Xuanling, you add fists and kicks to people at every turn, you are so fierce, you are not afraid that you will not be able to marry in the future?"

Liu Shaoyang was already smiling in his heart, but he said with a serious face on his face: "Senior sister, this little black is a few years younger than us, children love to joke, don't be like him!"

After that, he turned around and scolded Xiao Hei: "Okay, you Xiao Hei, you know nonsense! Your Sister Xuanling looks like a fairy, are you talking nonsense like this!"
