64. Chapter 64
The so-called Shuntian Palace, but the former Tongguan City guard's mansion. The regulation is just a three-entry courtyard, which looks inconspicuous at all.
Along the way, Jiang Zhao roughly explained to her: when he first laid down Tongguan, the king of heaven did not plan to enter the city directly, and still lived in the old village of Phoenix Mountain. Later, unable to resist the persuasion of the brothers, the common people looked forward to it, so they decided to move the division and take the team down the mountain to garrison the city defense.
Recently, the rich families of Tongguan felt that the place where the king lived was not decent enough, and they wanted to give up their houses to the king, but they were all rejected by his old man one by one. Just for him, he didn't come to disturb the people when he entered Tongguan. The world is still unstable, and it is not enough for everyone to be fed and clothed. Since the vision has not been realized, it is not his turn to enjoy it.
Perhaps, it is also because this small Tongguan City is just a place for him to settle down temporarily.
When Shen Huan saw Gao Fengxiang himself, he felt that he could indeed be regarded as the unity of knowledge and action. He is a typical Guanzhong man, eight feet tall, with a ruddy complexion, and a voice like a bell, which can be said to be dignified. I look very plainly dressed, only wearing a homely green cloth jacket, neither gangsterism nor domineering, and he is approachable.
Historically, when it comes to people who dare to win the world, there should be some dragons and phoenixes that ordinary people do not have. Shen Huan didn't believe this, so he took a serious look. Although Gao Fengxiang is wonderful, there is nothing different about it. If I have to say anything special, it's a slightly raised bone on the forehead - it can probably be compared to features like dragon horns.
Shen Huan only hugged his fists and saluted, Gao Fengxiang didn't care, and asked her to sit down. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a bit of a country accent that was difficult to change, "Last night, the young man was a blockbuster, and the whistle went straight to the sky. When I heard it, I was also very excited, thinking that there was another master in Tongguan City. When I saw it today, it turned out to be a young hero. Glancing at Jiang Zhao, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, he continued, "I heard that Shaoxia is from Beizhili? ”
Shen Huan shook his head, "I'm from Beijing." Starting from Beijing, all the way non-stop, straight to Tongguan. ”
This is different from what she said earlier, Jiang Zhao couldn't help but look sideways.
Gao Fengxiang was slightly stunned, and then smiled indifferently, "It's rare that the young man can afford me here, and he actually made a special trip here." Is the young man alone, or is he carrying a noble treasure? ”
He wanted to ask her about her origin, but Shen Huan said bluntly, "Except for a poor person on the road, there are no other relatives, and Shen is alone." The parents passed away and the family was scattered, it was only a long story to say, but in fact, it was just one sentence, Shen had a grudge against the current court. ”
The people in the hall looked at her deeply, she smiled, took out a letter from her arms, and handed it to the guards beside Gao Fengxiang.
It was a handwritten letter from Yang Ke, and it could be regarded as a recommendation form. Sure enough, Gao Fengxiang looked at it with a happy face, "It turns out that the young man is Mr. Yang's beloved apprentice, and he is a famous family, no wonder he can have such an achievement at a young age, it is really a young phoenix who is more clear than the old phoenix." ”
Holding it too high may not be a good thing, Shen Huan waved his hand politely, "Master's skills, I haven't learned thirty percent yet, how dare I compare with him." ”
"Where is your master now?" Gao Fengxiang is obviously more interested in the old man, "The last time I saw him, it was still in the Hexi generation. It's been five or six years, I don't know how he's doing lately? ”
Shen Huan said that it was okay, "But he left, and we broke up near Gyeonggi." He said that he had other things to do, so let me bring a good one to the king. ”
Gao Fengxiang frowned, "He's still wandering around like that?" Could it be that after all these years, he still hasn't found the person he was looking for? ”
Yang Ke was looking for someone, and he never said it to Shen Huanming. She couldn't help but wonder, "The Heavenly King and my master have an old relationship, why didn't they keep him that day?" The person he is looking for must be extremely important to teach him to be so attentive. ”
After a moment of silence, Gao Fengxiang asked, "You don't know about him?" ”
Shen Huan shook his head, "I'm ashamed to say that my master has always seen the head of the dragon but not the end, and if I can meet him, I still ask for it." Speaking of understanding, the King of Heaven is afraid that I know more about his past than I know. ”
Nodding, Gao Fengxiang slowly told a sad story:
What Yang Ke's original name is, there is no way to know. His hometown is a small village under the jurisdiction of Ganzhou Prefecture, called Yangjia Village. His parents died early, and he guarded a young sister and barely survived on a little thin field. My sister grew to twelve, and the flowers that came and fell were as watery. The young master of the rich family in the village fell in love with her, and snatched her home to be accepted as the fourth concubine. At that time, he had no martial arts, and he was pressed to the ground by the young master's family, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch the hao slave take away the crying girl. When he recovered from his injuries and sneaked into the rich family's house to save people, he found that his sister had already been ruined and lost her body.
In a fit of rage, he stabbed the young master in the chest with a long knife, but before he could rescue his sister, the people from the government arrived. He had no choice but to run away and hide outside for a few months, but he couldn't rest assured in his heart, and quietly returned to his hometown. In the end, it was still a step late, and in order to retaliate, the rich family sold his sister to people from other places, saying that it was not limited to where, but it was not called a good place. It is best to sell it to a prostitution brothel to avenge the young master who died.
There is a debtor and a debtor, Yang Ke only killed the person who sold his sister, and then fled from his hometown overnight. He was bent on finding his sister, but there was so much that he didn't even have a clue. Fortunately, the sky is immortal, and there were occasional adventures on the way to pursue, and finally he met the successors of the previous generation of smart sons and learned martial arts.
But no matter how high a person's kung fu is, the demons in his heart are difficult to get rid of, and he still can't settle down. So he can only wander around, while completing the mission assigned by his master, he is still looking for his sister.
This is also the reason why Gao Fengxiang hit him off at first sight, but he couldn't keep him in the end. Now that he has a successor, he has a lot of things on his mind, and he must be able to find his sister with peace of mind. Even if he travels thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, in his words, he wants to see people in life and corpses in death. He can't stand his sister, even if he dies, he has to hear a whereabouts and ask for an explanation.
After Gao Fengxiang finished speaking, he was embarrassed. Jiang Zhao listened from the sidelines, and it was inevitable that he was a little gloomy.
Shen Huan sighed, Yang Ke has always been calm and confident in front of her, and can control a qiqi without being frightened, but it turns out that he also has such a bleak and powerless past.
Everyone has difficulties, and everyone has an easy life. After listening to this story, Shen Huan felt that she could let go of the prejudices in her heart. If you say that in the past, she had a lot of resentment against Yang Ke for persecuting herself, and even obstructing her from being with Gu Cheng. So far, she has no hatred for this person.
A subtle assassin is meant to come in handy at critical moments, in other words, she is a sharp weapon that should be hidden on weekdays, and she does not have to show her edge.
Gao Fengxiang is well aware of this, and treats Shen Huan with the courtesy of the above guests, much like a monk of the ancients, and only hands over her daily life to Jiang Zhao to take care of, and obviously trusts Jiang Zhao very much.
is a little bit of a sheep's mouth, Jiang Zhao is still using the public for personal gain, and installed her house next door to her house, saying that it is more convenient to take care of it.
The courtyard of the two entrances has the taste of the Gu house of the day. There is a pomegranate tree planted in the yard, and in the summer the pomegranate blossoms should be red. The pomegranates in Guanzhong are famous, so you don't have to go to the street to buy them, and you can pick them fresh as soon as you reach out and taste them.
Of course, it depends on how long she can stay here.
Bai Yin was even more excited than her at this time, and felt that the future days could be settled. Standing under the corridor, he vigorously commanded the people brought by Jiang Zhao to wipe the room and clean the house, which was quite a bit of a family member.
"This little girl is very capable, not like she has never seen the world." Jiang Zhao stood in the courtyard and watched with her, "Where did you get it, it's a talent." ”
Bai Yin didn't change his clothes, he was still dressed as a little girl, and his face was black and yellow. Shen Huan smiled and asked, "How do you know that someone is a girl?" Or do you think everyone looks like a woman? ”
He looked her up and down, "It's just that you and I can't tell, she's clearly a girl." A small voice with a pair of small feet. Don't think you can get through with a man's shoes, a man walks like that. ”
She nodded, "Really observant, a delicate person." Come on, I was about to say that I won't ask her to pretend to be a man in the future, it's weird and tired, she was originally a beautiful person. ”
Jiang Zhao glanced at her, as if smiling, "Yes, are you beautiful?" ”
She didn't answer, as if she was deliberately provoking him, "Men and women are not compared!" What's the matter, it's not a boast that sooner or later you'll know if I'm a man or a woman. At this point, I've also seen the Heavenly King, haven't you guessed it yet? ”
The king didn't say it clearly! In fact, Shen Huan knew best that Yang Ke's letter didn't mention that she was a woman at all. Such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning to an assassin or a man who cares about the world.
But Jiang Zhao cares very much, and he wants to figure it out, because this is a major matter related to how he gets along with her in the future.
"You're not real." He squinted his eyes and brought out a sense of romance and resentment, "I said that I was from Cangzhou, and when I saw the king of heaven and said that he was from Beijing, I don't know which words to believe you." In the future, if you want to be a brother, you can't run your tongue like this. ”
She raised her eyes at him, "You didn't believe me at that time, why should I be honest with you." It's different now, since you treat me as a brother, I naturally won't lie to you anymore. ”
He grinned, as if satisfied with her words. After hesitating for a moment, he finally raised his arm and put it on her shoulder.
The body's instinctive reaction was to resist, and Shen Huan wanted to fall directly over the shoulder for a moment. But with a sideways glance, she pressed the impulse.
Jiang Zhao's figure was about the same as Gu Cheng's, she stood beside him, and she could only see his face when she raised her head slightly. Such an intimate action reminded her of the situation when Gu Cheng coaxed her in the past, when she hugged her in the street.
Just because of this little similarity, she couldn't bear to push Jiang Zhao away. Although she knew, he didn't have Gu Cheng's frankness and gentleness.
There was a tentative banter in his eyes, as if to say, you have to admit that you are a woman, and it is normal for those two men to hook up and show intimacy, unless you have the ability to push me away.
She was impetuous, hesitated several times, but fortunately someone couldn't see it. As soon as Bai Yin looked back and saw this, his little eyebrows immediately raised, "Hey, what are you doing?" Why are you so unruly! We...... Our uncle can you hug casually, hurry up and put down your hands and paws. ”
Jiang Zhao tilted his chin and smiled, "It's useless to be powerful with me, your uncle is at ease with me." He voted for the king, and from now on we have officially become brothers. Brothers can even exchange their lives, are you afraid of being hugged? The conversation suddenly changed, and the laughter became even worse, "Of course, you little girl, this kind of thing can't be said to you, and you won't understand." ”
"Phew, don't do this." Bai Yin just didn't like him, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was frivolous and arrogant, and he didn't welcome him, "Brother has only been doing it for a day, can he be so hot?" Who knows what you're thinking! Sue you, our lord doesn't have those habits of broken sleeves. If you have that problem, I can advise you to give up as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Zhao's face turned green when he heard this, and he looked at Bai Yin with horizontal eyebrows. Between the two of them, sparks popped up. It was originally about to break out, but it was completely disturbed by Jiang Duo, who suddenly rushed to hear the news, and the atmosphere immediately changed - at least Jiang Zhao put away his anger and seemed particularly stable and serious.
Jiang Duo was happy in his heart, the chivalrous warrior he had seen that day had now been collected by the Heavenly King, which showed that he also had some vision. He said that his brother's style would not change, and he also said that he would wash the dust for Brother Shen at night, and everyone would take the opportunity to drink bitterly.
"Xiaozhao, you go and bring the thirty-year-old Fenjiu in the wine cellar. We're going to drink it tonight. Jiang Duo looked at his obedient brother and told him with great interest.
He was happy for a moment, but he lowered the corners of his mouth again, "General Chen is back, Shangshan fought smoothly, and he killed a total of 30,000 horses in the imperial court." After a pause, he sighed softly, "But in this battle, Liu Xianjun, who has no last resort and points out where to fight, still has a lot to do." ”
Jiang Zhao looked disdainful, and scolded very lightly, "Demon Dao." ”
After a while, he looked at Shen Huan and smiled faintly, "That's also a character, I'm afraid you will meet him sooner or later." ”
