51. One picks one
After Jiang Xiyi and the others waved goodbye to Qiao Feng and others at the top of Mount Tai Jade Emperor, they traveled all the way day and night, beat their horses to Gusu, and arrived in Suzhou City for a short rest.
The Murong family is a martial arts family, but it is little known in Suzhou City, and when asked where Yanziwu and Shenhe Village are located in Gusu City, no one will generally answer, and if you want to find a village owner surnamed Murong, no one knows.
But the Murong family, who has lived in Gusu for several generations, does not have much industry in Suzhou, but it is not small, such as the teahouse where Jiang Xiyi and Tianshu are now sitting and resting, which is under the name of the Murong family.
This teahouse was found by Tianshu, and Jiang Xiyi didn't ask him how he knew about this ordinary teahouse.
It's like she didn't ask why he could recognize Chu Liuxiang at a glance.
A pot of "frightening incense" was sent to the table by the runner, this pot of tea is similar to the shape of the tea that Jiang Xiyi drank in Yanziwu before, the aroma is similar, and the fragrance is fragrant, but obviously the tea served by Yanziwu is many times better than that of this teahouse. After drinking the tea of Yanziwu, and then drinking the tea of this teahouse at this moment, I feel that the fragrance is extremely fragrant, and the taste is entangled, but the name "scaring people" is indeed inferior.
On the table, there are four-color dim sum, pine nut candy, poria cake, jade sweet cake and ham dumplings, which are elegant in taste and beautiful in shape. After Jiang Xiyi put a pine nut candy in his mouth, he saw a person walking into the door of the teahouse. The man seemed to be calm and calm, but his brows were furrowed, his face was slightly tight, and his steps to the front desk shopkeeper were slightly larger. After the man whispered a few words to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper nodded, and the man seemed to be serious and gave a few more words before leaving the teahouse.
The shopkeeper put down the pen in his hand, raised his eyes and quietly glanced at the teahouse, Jiang Xiyi staggered his gaze, his eyes lowered slightly and then lifted again, just did not collide with his sight. With just a glance, the shopkeeper seemed to have judged clearly that there were no suspicious people in this teahouse, and it was completely safe. He raised his hand to call the shopkeeper, and after explaining a few words, he walked through the teahouse to the backyard.
He was careful and discreet.
The reputation of 'One Sword Ping Kunlun' has spread to the Central Plains, and everyone knows that Jiang Xiyi will definitely carry thirteen swords with him when he travels, and these thirteen swords are naturally thirteen people.
This has almost become her symbol.
But what if, with only one person by her side?
For example, now, everyone in the teahouse thinks that the girl in white and the boy in white are novices who have just entered the rivers and lakes, and no one thought that they would be from Taixuanzhuang.
After a while, a man walked out of the backyard of the teahouse, wearing a jujube red robe, a burly figure, big ears, a thick white beard, and the appearance of a wealthy businessman.
The shopkeeper walked behind this person, he walked slowly, his steps were steady and powerful, and the sound of landing was soft, Jiang Xiyi closed his eyes and listened to this person's breathing, and there was a guess about this person's identity in his heart. It is not surprising that a person who seems to be the owner of a teahouse knows martial arts, but after knowing that this is the teahouse of the Murong family, and seeing a martial arts master again, Jiang Xiyi thought of the Gongye Qian he had seen before.
Jiang Xiyi moved his gaze to Tianshu, who seemed to know exactly what Jiang Xiyi was thinking, nodded slowly, and said softly: "Yes." β
There was already someone waiting outside the door of the teahouse, and the man said softly: "I'll go and tell the son about this matter first, the teahouse is according to the usual routine, you inform the other brothers in the city, have you seen that group of people." β
His words were very light, and his mouth changed very quickly, and he instantly blended into the noisy teahouse hall, but Jiang Xiyi heard it clearly, her deep internal strength and ear power were naturally amazing, even if a needle fell in the teahouse, she could almost instantly distinguish the direction.
With that, the man who looked like a rich merchant took the reins and left the teahouse.
Jiang Xiyi and Tianshu glanced at each other, Tianshu shouted to settle the bill, and the shopkeeper came, and after paying the money, the two slowly walked outside the door. Tianshu said softly: "He should go to the Yanziwu in Taihu Lake in the west of the city, and you should be careful in everything." β
Jiang Xiyi nodded slowly, the two of them bypassed a street again, and entered a corner, Jiang Xiyi walked up lightly, took a step, and stepped on the roof without much effort, with light steps, flying away, treating other people's roofs as if they were Yangguan Avenue, and no one found her.
If Jiang Xiyi wanted to follow someone, he wouldn't lose that person no matter what.
I saw that the man went all the way out of Suzhou City, went to the west of the city, stopped his horse on the shore of Taihu Lake, walked to a small boat, and after getting on the boat, he saw the captain take the bamboo pole a little, pull the oar, and the boat slid into the Taihu Lake.
The waterways of Taihu Lake are complex, and there are hundreds of changes, Jiang Xiyi thought that the last time she went to Swallow Dock, the waterways were complicated, and even she couldn't tell them for a while. At this moment, a sudden sound of the piano sounded on the Taihu Lake, and there was a burst of singing along with the sound of the piano.
Jiang Xiyi had heard this singing, and the person who sang it was Abi, the pretty little girl next to Murong Fu. The sound of the piano and the song are getting closer and closer, Jiang Xiyi has already identified Abi's position, she must be boating on Taihu Lake at this moment, and approaching the shore.
Just as Jiang Xiyi thought, the person on Abi's boat at the moment was an old man with a big fluttering sleeve, with a strange appearance, a smile on his face, and he looked extremely kind, sitting cross-legged on Abi's boat, with a yaoqin on his lap.
The sound of this piano is very chic, but it is not a famous song, it seems to be played casually by the person who plays the piano, but it is very pleasant to the ear, like a breeze blowing the willow tops, and like the lake water and waves beating lightly, as if the scenery of Taihu Lake is melted into the song. Suddenly, the sound of the piano turned, and the soft sound was mixed with the sound of Zheng Zheng, like the wind blowing the earth, endlessly, adding a sense of reverberation.
Jiang Xiyi just fell into the sound of the piano, his heart was shocked, he settled down, bent down, galloped from the trees by the lake like an arrow to the lake, and then like a fallen leaf, slowly fell with the wind, and stood on Abi's boat.
At this moment, it is dusk, there is a slight chill, the smoke on the lake has risen, and it is getting thicker and thicker, Abi looked at Jiang Xiyi and didn't see it very really, only felt hazy, the breeze on the lake rose slightly, stirring Jiang Xiyi's clothes, her white clothes seemed to melt into the mist, and her person appeared out of thin air like fog condensation.
Ah Bi screamed softly and said, "Oops! Who are you? Why did it suddenly land on my boat? Before Jiang Xiyi could answer, Abi rolled his eyes and continued: "Could it be that you are a fox fairy?" It turns out that what Sister Azhu said is false, there is really a fox fairy, I have to sue her, and then laugh at her. β
Jiang Xiyi said: "I am a human, not a fox fairy." β
The old man on the boat stood up with the piano in his arms at this moment, as if he had plucked the strings lightly at random, and the two piano sounds went straight into Jiang Xiyi's ear drum. When she landed on the boat, she deliberately paid attention to the person who played the piano in her heart, and she had already prepared at this moment, and the sound of the piano was like nothing to her, but Abi really couldn't stand it, pressed her chest with one hand, and said: "Master, why did you suddenly play the sound of attacking the enemy, this sound of the piano is not good, it is too harsh, and the disciple is irritated when he listens to it." β
The old man who played the piano said: "This is a plan for the teacher, this person is menacing, light and high, it doesn't seem to be a good person, the teacher just gave her a little lesson, but then again, I taught you the way to resist the sound of the piano earlier, why haven't you learned it yet?" β
Ah Bi covered her ears and said, "This person is not a bad person, I know her, she is Miss Jiang, she helped me before!" It's the Master who thinks too much. β
It turned out that Abi was extremely sensitive to sound, and almost never forgot it, and when she heard Jiang Xiyi's voice before, she knew in her heart that the person in front of her was not the fox fairy she thought, but Jiang Xiyi.
The old man shouted, "You little girl didn't say it sooner!" It's really unreasonable, the little old man almost made a big fool! When he spoke, his right hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the acupoint on Jiang Xiyi's shoulder.
Jiang Xiyi was not in a hurry, even if he made a move behind him, she had already heard his movements, and in a flash, she got out of the boat, stepped lightly on the surface of the lake, and jumped back onto the boat.
The old man who played the piano laughed angrily when he saw this, and said loudly: "Your light skills are exquisite, and your body is so handsome, I have never seen it, chic and wishful, but you can enter the song of the little old man!" Hurry up and show the little old man a few more sets of kung fu! β
Jiang Xiyi said: "I have something important to do today, the boat has docked, if this old gentleman wants to leave, let's leave quickly." β
The old man said, "If you finish the work, you will have nothing to do?" If you have nothing to do, you can show the little old man? In this case, if you have anything, tell me quickly, and the little old man will definitely help you! β
Jiang Xiyi said: "I must be able to do something by myself, the old gentleman doesn't have to be like this?" β
The old man who played the piano said: "The old man said that he wanted to help you, that is, he wanted to help you, even if you didn't let the little old man help, the little old man had to help!" β
Ah Bi interjected: "Master, do I know what happened to Miss Jiang, do you want me to sue you?" β
Jiang Xiyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Ah Bi.
The old man who played the piano said: "You little girl, since you know, why don't you tell Master SΓΉ quickly." β
Ah Bi said: "If the master agrees to the disciple on one condition, the disciple will tell the master what Miss Jiang is going to do." β
The old man said hurriedly: "I promised you for the teacher, don't say a condition, a hundred and a thousand promises, the little girl can say it now!" β
Ah Bi cleared her throat, put her hands behind her back, and said solemnly: "There is no need for a hundred or a thousand, the master wants to promise the disciple that he will not embarrass the disciple in the future." What is the important matter of Miss Jiang, the disciple is just guessing, Miss Jiang is probably going to find my son-in-law. β
Jiang Xiyi nodded lightly and said, "You are really smart." β
The old man who played the piano said: "In this case, the little girl should hurry up and row the boat back to find your son-in-law, he is still in the piano rhyme Xiaozhu, we will wait for the girl in white to finish the matter, and the little old girl will be able to play the piano and compose music!" β
After Ah Bi said yes softly, he pulled the oars, and the boat had not yet docked, and rowed into the depths of Taihu Lake.
Along the way, the old man plucked the strings lightly, Abi held the paddle and sang crisply, and the sound of the piano was crisp, the sky was getting late, Jiang Xiyi looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, listened to the sound of the piano in his ears, and suddenly said: "Old man, your piano sound is accompanied by the sound of water, taking the meaning of flowing water?" β
The old man stopped his hand and laughed: "You heard it! You actually heard it! It's good, it's bad! β
Jiang Xiyi said: "Why is it good, and why is it bad?" β
The old man who played the piano said: "I just praised you for being smart in my heart, and now you look stupid again, so naturally you can hear the meaning of the little old man's piano, it's just wonderful!" It's not good because if you are a few years younger, the little old man will be able to take you as an apprentice! β
At this time, Xiaozhou had just turned a row of weeping willows, and a corner of the eaves appeared, and Jiang Xiyi knew that he had arrived at the place where Murong Fu was in Yanziwu.
Abi gently swung the boat over, just as she was about to enter the shadows.
Jiang Xiyi said: "Miss Abi, you wait a minute. β
Abi stopped moving, turned his head to look at Jiang Xiyi, and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Jiang?" β
At this moment, Jiang Xiyi raised his hand to volley a few times, and Abi stopped moving, Jiang Xiyi turned over again, raised his hand like lightning and pointed at the acupoints on the old man's body, and said: "I'll go by myself, don't disturb Miss Abi and the old man." β
After that, Jiang Xiyi raised his hand and pushed it suddenly, Jiang Xiyi's palm force actually led the boat to swing, she slapped her palm a few times, and the boat swung to another place, almost completely covered by water chestnut leaves and wicker. The old man and Ah Bi couldn't move, their mouths couldn't speak, and the old man tried to break through the acupuncture point with internal force, but he couldn't.
After Jiang Xiyi tied the boat, he totoed a little, like a white smoke, stepped across the lake, and flew straight into the swallow dock.
The waterway outside the swallow dock is complicated, but how to walk inside the swallow dock, Jiang Xiyi is very clear in her heart, she shuttles between the roof and the trees lightly, and no one finds it.
At this moment, the lights in the swallow dock are brilliant, but there is one place where there are the least people, Jiang Xiyi's eyes turned, his body was like a gust of wind, he spread his figure, flew away, stopped in a circle to the back of the house, and flew under the eaves like a fallen leaf, found a window with lights leaking out of the cracks, and looked in.
This is Tianshu telling her that she should not be startled by the snake.
Jiang Xiyi looked at it at a glance and saw that there were two rows of wooden chairs in this room, and there were many tablets in front of the hall, headed by Murong Fu, Gongye Qian, Bao Different, Storm and the rich businessman he saw today, Murong Fu kowtowed to the tablet three times, and after incense was placed on the incense burner in front of the tablet, he turned around and said: "Brother Deng suddenly came here today, could it be that something happened?" β
