Ouyang Chun is gone, and the journey still has to continue.

Su Muxian stayed bored in the carriage, so he got out and sat next to Jiang Yuanzhong to drive with him.

This road is sparsely populated, and you can't see the rest of the cars and horses passing by for half a day, and you will get tired of the desolate and monotonous scenery after watching it for a long time. Su Muxian sat lazily in a lazy posture, covered her mouth and yawned, but suddenly remembered something.

"Jiang Yuanzhong, didn't you say that the Ouyang family is very powerful, Lu Sheng first tied up Ouyang Chun and then imprisoned him, the two have already made a feud, so they just let him go? Aren't you afraid of the Ouyang family's revenge? ”

Jiang Yuan waved his horsewhip heavily, urging the horse without a ride, and replied distractedly: "It is precisely for fear of the Ouyang family's revenge that he must be let go." ”

Seeing Su Muxian's puzzled look, he patiently explained: "The Ouyang family has been entrenched in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, with roots and branches all over the place, although Lu Sheng and the people behind him have unfathomable backgrounds, they are still a little afraid of the Ouyang family. As the saying goes, tigers don't eat their children, not to mention that Ouyang Chun is still the only seedling of the Ouyang family's generation, and he attaches great importance to him. ”

Su Muxian nodded thoughtfully.

"So it's good that Ouyang Chun didn't have an accident, if he dies in the hands of Lu Sheng, he will inevitably be greeted by the Ouyang family's crazy counterattack. Such a situation was not conducive to his schemes, and it was by no means desirable to him. ”

Jiang Yuanzhong continued: "Ouyang Chun has returned home safely now, even if he has been wronged by Lu Sheng, the Ouyang family will not use the strength of the whole clan to retaliate against Lu Sheng and the forces behind him. If you really want to start, you must first open the bloody clothes door, and Lu Sheng may be happy to see it. ”

It's just that looking at the situation behind this, Lu Sheng and the forces behind him stabbed each other, and the relationship between the two doesn't seem to be so stable.

Jiang Yuan squinted his eyes and hid all his thoughts under his eyelids.

After Su Muxian heard what he said, he only felt that the rivers and lakes were too deep, and it was a little difficult to understand the stakes in them, so he shook his head and simply didn't think about them, and focused on the distant scenery.

Shenjian Villa is located in the middle of the mountainside, out of the official road, the forest on the side of the road is much denser, you can see a rolling mountain range in the distance, the mountain peaks are hidden in the clouds and mist, the smoke curls and does not see real, it seems to be a fairyland on earth, and there is quite a bit of hazy feeling of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Meng rode all the way along, and when he saw the mountains, he pointed with his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang's home should not be far away." ”

"It's not far, indeed."

The carriage was so close that even the buildings on the mountainside could be faintly seen.

Su Muxian put his hand on his forehead and looked at it, and also saw the outline of the building complex, and said with some emotion: "This mountain villa is built so high, won't we be asked to walk up later?" ”

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

He replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Su Muxian: "...... It's too late for you to sue me now that you're lying to me. ”

Jiang Yuan looked at the direction of the Divine Sword Villa and introduced it to the two of them: "There are a total of 1,868 stone steps from the foot of the mountain to the villa, which is already the shortest path. ”

"One thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight? What does this number mean? Wang Meng asked curiously.

Jiang Yuanzhong replied truthfully: "The craftsman just cultivated to this level. ”

Su Muxian: "......"

It's so casual.

Su Muxian imagined what the concept of 1,868 stone steps was, and compared the height of the mountain, feeling that with her own ability, there was probably no hope of climbing it.

She sneered: "What, Jiang Yuanzhong, do you see that I am waiting for you at the foot of the mountain?" ”

Although she can't see the scenery in the villa, the scenery below is quite chic, as long as she is not allowed to climb the mountain, she can say anything.

Jiang Yuan glanced at her again, patted her head and said gently, "Don't worry. ”

Su Muxian stared at him with round eyes, not understanding what he asked him not to worry about.

……

The carriage soon stopped at the foot of the mountain.

The two disciples who were dressed as sword boys immediately ran over when they saw the comer, and they didn't know what Jiang Yuanzhong showed them, their faces changed suddenly, and then they respectfully asked Jiang Yuanzhong to come down, and called another person to go to the village to deliver the letter first.

Jiang Yuanzhong waved his hand and refused their service, turned around and helped Su Muxian get out of the carriage, squatted down under the shocked gaze of the two disciples, and motioned for Su Muxian to come up.

Su Muxian: "...... Isn't that a bad thing? ”

Jiang Yuanzhong didn't care as much as she did, and wrote lightly: "Don't you think you can't climb high, or you have to go up by yourself?" That's it. ”

Su Muxian was speechless, it turned out that what he said earlier about not worrying was referring to this.

"Come up." Jiang Yuan urged again.

Su Muxian looked at the endless stone steps to the sky, and then looked at the shocked eyes of the two disciples and Wang Meng's teasing smile, gritted his teeth and fell up.

"In case there is any misunderstanding, you can remember to explain it clearly." She whispered in Jiang Yuanzhong's ear.

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

Faintly, Su Muxian heard the two disciples behind him muttering.

"Why did the young owner go out and bring a girl back?"

"What do you know, now it's a girl, maybe it's a young lady in the future, and it's the owner's wife in the future!"

"What about Miss Shen?" The younger disciple asked.

"I said you don't understand, this Miss Shen and our young owner are on the same page, the two have fought a lot because of this marriage contract, and a clear-eyed person can't become a ...... at a glance."

"Are we ...... then?"

“……”

The voice behind him became quieter, Jiang Yuanzhong walked away again, and Su Muxian only listened to a few words and then disappeared. She didn't pay much attention to it, scuffling around her.

Both sides of the mountain road are planted with Xiangfei bamboo, and it still looks lush in autumn twilight. Occasionally, the dead leaves drifting from nowhere, and the click of the feet is very clear in this silent mountain forest, adding a bit of mountain leisure.

As soon as such a thought flashed from the bottom of her heart, Su Muxian found that she was wrong.

Although the mountain road is rugged, it is like walking on the ground for those who know martial arts. On tiptoe, the body slid out like a light swallow, and in a short time it jumped out of the distance.

Wang Meng followed at a speed comparable to Jiang Yuanzhong, and said with a smile that seemed ill-intentioned to Su Muxian as he hurried: "Shopkeeper Xiao Su, doesn't this look like going to meet the elders before the wedding?" ”

Su Muxian said expressionlessly: "I don't think at all." ”

Su Muxian always felt that Wang Meng was not as serious as before after leaving the inn, and he always had to tease her for a word or two, but now he was full of nonsense, and he became more and more out of tune, but fortunately, Jiang Yuanzhong didn't react to anything else.

Careful thinking about the car turned around twice, and was about to speak, the figures of several people suddenly stopped.

As soon as I looked up, Excalibur Villa arrived.
