Liang Kaiping for seven years. March 15. Early morning.

Zhu Mansion. Vestibule.

There are a lot of maids and maids standing around the hall, and a round dining table is placed in the middle of the hall at this time, and there are three people sitting around the table with a sumptuous meal on the table.

Zhu Zimo, who was sitting on the main seat, was wearing a plain robe, and the three thousand green silk was only tied behind his head with a dark blue ribbon.

Leng Qing was wearing a washed ink painting breast-length skirt, without any hair accessories, her long hair was only tied casually with a few white ribbons, and she sat in a position on Zhu Zimo's left hand.

Lin Xiaoyang, whose costume had not changed in the slightest, sat in a position on Zhu Zimo's right hand.

On the dinner table, there are four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, a bowl of hot soup, a bowl of sweet soup, and a pot of 20-year-old good Du Kang.

Looking at Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing, Lin Xiaoyang picked up the wine glass in front of him and said loudly: "Second senior brother, second sister-in-law, I am going to go to Jiangnan today, and I will come back to see you after the martial arts conference is over." ”

Zhu Zimo picked up the wine glass in front of him, Leng Qing picked up the teacup in front of her, and touched the wine glass raised by Lin Xiaoyang in the air, and the three of them withdrew their hands and drank the wine and tea in their respective cups.

After drinking wine and having breakfast, Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing sent Lin Xiaoyang out of the house together, accompanied by Lin Zhiwu, who was assigned by Zhu Zimo to follow Lin Xiaoyang to Daliang Jiangnan to participate in the martial arts conference.

A group of five people, Lin Xiaoyang held his long sword in his right hand, and Lin Zhiwu and Lin Zhiwu held a high-headed horse and walked slowly towards the south gate of Xuanping.

Because if you want to go out of the south gate, you have to pass through the southern area of Xuanping, so it took a lot of time. However, along the way, the five of them chatted and passed the time.

After leaving the South City Gate and walking a hundred and ten meters away, Zhu Zimo stopped and said, "Third Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother will only send you here, you should be careful about the road ahead." ”

"Well, second senior brother, don't worry! I'll be careful. Lin Xiaoyang replied with a smile, clenching his sword and clenching his fists.

Looking at Leng Qing beside Zhu Zimo, Lin Xiaoyang still smiled: "Second sister-in-law, don't leave it at that." ”

Leng Qing pulled up a smile when she heard this, and nodded as an answer.

In the next moment, Leng Qing took out a red object from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Lin Xiaoyang, and said with a light smile: "This jade pendant was originally bought for myself, but now you are leaving, as your second sister-in-law, I don't have anything good to give you, this jade pendant, if you don't feel cold, just accept it." ”

Compared to the white jade dragon and phoenix hairpin that Lin Xiaoyang gave her that day, what is this jade pendant?

Looking at the red jade pendant that Leng Qing handed in front of him, Lin Xiaoyang's eyes were shining.

It was when Lin Xiaoyang accompanied Leng Qing to go shopping four days ago, Leng Qing bought the piece of milky white and blood red mixed in the Treasure Pavilion, with obvious cracks inside, a blooming magnolia was carved on the front, two koi carp were carved on the back, and a circle of complicated patterns was carved around the hollow, and a round jade pendant with an ink-colored brocade rope with an auspicious knot was tied at the top of the hollow.

Afraid that Leng Qing would regret it, Lin Xiaoyang took the jade pendant and stuffed it directly into his arms, and said to Leng Qing with a bright smile: "Thank you Second Senior Sister-in-law!"

For Lin Xiaoyang's laughter, Leng Qing didn't say anything, only replied with a faint smile.

Turning around, pulling the reins with one hand and holding the horse's back with the other, Lin Xiaoyang turned over and got on the horse, and so did Lin Zhiwu on the side.

got on the horse, Lin Zhiwu said to Zhu Zimo, "Family master, farewell!" and rode away with Lin Xiaoyang.

For a long time, looking at the direction of Lin Xiaoyang's departure, Leng Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Zimo, who was on the side, heard the sound and suddenly asked, "What's the matter?"

Turning his head to look at Zhu Zimo, who was also looking at the two people in front of him, Leng Qing turned his gaze back again, and his tone was abrupt: "Yes! A simple-hearted person like Lin Xiaoyang is no longer much in this world, I don't know if he will be the same as when he left today." ”

"The world is impermanent, and the third junior brother's heart is naturally good for the people around him, but if he encounters other people with improper hearts, the third junior brother is only afraid that he will suffer. It would be good if the third junior brother could make some changes in this trip!" Looking at Lin Xiaoyang and Lin Zhiwu, whose figures were gradually disappearing in front of them, Zhu Zimo said lightly.

After saying that, Zhu Zimo turned around and walked back.

Seeing this, Leng Qing also turned around and walked two steps quickly to keep up with Zhu Zimo's footsteps, and walked side by side with Zhu Zimo.

While walking Leng Qing, he reached out and took out the jade hosta that he bought together that day from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Zhu Zimo, and said solemnly: "This is for you, you can't spend your money and not buy anything for you." ”

Looking down at the emerald hosta that Leng Qing handed to him, Zhu Zimo could clearly see the blooming peach blossoms carved around the hairpin, as if the fragrance of peach had come to his nose.

took the hosta into his arms, and Zhu Zimo said lightly, "Thank you".

Suddenly, a strange sound sounded in the woods not far away, neither light nor heavy, and it just reached the ears of Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing.

After Zhu Zimo heard the sound, he suddenly said to Leng Qing: "You go back first! I want to walk around here for a while before going back." ”

After that, without waiting for Leng Qing's reaction, Zhu Zimo turned around and walked in the direction of the woods.

Leng Qing knew that things were not as Zhu Zimo said, but Leng Qing didn't have such a strong curiosity, so she answered and walked in the direction of the city gate.

Zhu Zimo, who had walked more than ten meters away, looked back and saw that Leng Qing did not look in his direction, but walked in the direction of the city gate without squinting, and Zhu Zimo walked into the forest with confidence.

What Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing, Lin Xiaoyang, and Lin Zhiwu never thought was that this parting actually made Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing separate for more than half a year, and Lin Xiaoyang and Lin Zhiwu almost became a life and death difference with them.

Ahem, this is a later story, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

At this time, Zhu Zimo walked about twenty meters deep into the woods, and a black shadow suddenly landed in front of Zhu Zimo out of thin air, and said without half affection: "See the master." ”

Looking at the black shadow dressed in black, kneeling on one knee, and with his head down, Zhu Zimo said coldly: "Say." ”

"The leader of the cangdie sent his subordinates to report to the master, two days ago, the secret history of the secret history of the alliance between the prince of Liangguo and the prince of Dazhang has been intercepted and killed by the master of the Cangdie Liufentang stationed at the border of Dazhang, and a secret letter written by the monarch of Liangguo was found from him. With that, the black shadow took out a brown envelope from his arms, held it above his head with both hands and presented it to Zhu Zimo's eyes.

After the whole action, the black shadow didn't raise its head more than half a minute, so that people couldn't get a glimpse of its appearance.

Zhu Zimo stretched out his hand to take the envelope, only to see the words "Prince Dazhang personally opened" written in cursive on the cover of the envelope.

"What else?" Zhu Zimo was not in a hurry to read the letter, and asked the black shadow after putting away the envelope.

The black shadow didn't speak, but the next moment, it had disappeared in front of Zhu Zimo's eyes.

Crepe flat castle inside. West Street, West End.

Leng Qing walked all the way in the direction of Zhufu, and when she passed by the mouth of an alley, she saw that Leng Qing was suddenly pulled into the alley from the side by a force.

The qiē came too quickly, and before Leng Qing could react, a white semi-moist handkerchief with a strange aroma covered Leng Qing's mouth and nose.

only took a shallow breath, and a feeling of dizziness hit him instantly, Leng Qing closed his eyes tiredly, and his body slid to the ground softly.

The two black-clothed masked men put Leng Qing into a ** bag, carried the sack to their shoulders, and walked towards the depths of the alley.

This qiē happened quietly and ended quietly, and outside the alley, pedestrians were still the same.

On the other side, after bidding farewell to Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing outside the south gate of Xuanping, Lin Xiaoyang and Lin Zhiwu embarked on the road to the Lin family, a martial arts family in Jiangnan, to participate in the martial arts conference.

On the road, Lin Xiaoyang rode a horse and galloped all the way, and he was not tired of asking Lin Zhiwu about the new things in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and Lin Zhiwu was also not tired of telling Lin Xiaoyang in detail one by one.

Lin Zhiwu can't either, who told Lin Zhiwu that when Zhu Zimo assigned Lin Zhiwu to go to Jiangnan with Lin Xiaoyang the night before, Lin Xiaoyang has some children's temperament, and on the road, as long as he doesn't delay the trip, he will rely on Lin Xiaoyang.

Therefore, Lin Zhiwu must answer those questions even if he doesn't want to.

"Are you saying that two years ago, the leader of the martial arts alliance, Ao Long, was killed by that Cangdie assassin group, so that in the past two years, no one in the martial arts has led it, making the black and white between the sects and the sects staggered, and the miasma of black and white?" The wind whistled in his ears, and Lin Xiaoyang's voice was blown away by the oncoming wind as soon as he came out.

Riding on horseback, Lin Xiaoyang galloped on horseback, and asked Lin Zhiwu, who was also galloping on horseback next to him, in a good mood, the two of them were quickly retreating.

"yes. At first, those martial arts people who claimed to be righteous people were still shouting to avenge the dragon, but after working for more than half a year, those martial arts people couldn't even find the shadow of the Cangdie Assassin Group, and finally had to stop fighting their own methods. Lin Zhiwu, like Lin Xiaoyang, leaned forward slightly, holding the reins of the horse tightly in one hand and a two-finger-thick whip in the other.

"According to what you said, the Cangdie Assassin Regiment is all women, although they behave perversely, they are just a group of women, how can they be so big that they can't fight a group of women?" Lin Xiaoyang asked again.

To say that this Lin Xiaoyang has grown up on the top of Qinshan since he was a child, and he has hardly seen a woman, how can he think that women are inferior to men?

This is still thanks to Lin Xiaoyang's senior brother, Lin Xiaoyang's senior brother really wants to talk about it, it's not a good thing, he always likes to talk to Lin Xiaoyang, a simple-hearted child, about something that he doesn't have.

Although it did not pollute Lin Xiaoyang's child's pure heart, it also smeared Lin Xiaoyang's simple thoughts a lot, otherwise, how could Lin Xiaoyang know about these messy things.
