Chapter 17: Attacked

Jiang Changan returned to Jiangfu, and what happened in the past two days was enough to make his mind unable to calm down for a long time.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, a servant ran over.

"Little boy, the master asked you to go to the council hall. ”

"What's the matter with the council?"

"I don't know if it's a distinguished guest. ”

The Jiang family has guests almost every day, but there are not many who can be called distinguished guests, and why did he have to go over this time?

Without asking any more questions, Jiang Changan tidied up his clothes a little, and walked straight to the council hall without the slightest hesitation.

There are a total of thirty so-called council halls in the Jiang family, which are just attics for entertaining guests.

Before I entered the door, I saw two people sitting in the hall.

One is naturally Jiang Shikong, the old master of the Jiang family today, and the other Jiang Changan has never seen-

An old woman with gray hair, dressed very plain and simple, holding a jasper dragon head crutch in one hand and a tortoise shell in the other, is somewhat similar to the fortune tellers on the street.

What was surprising was that the little maid Yirou was also inside, her face was full of tears, and when she saw Jiang Changan come back, there was a hint of hope in her eyes, "Childe......"

"What's the situation?" Jiang Changan crossed the threshold and saluted: "Grandpa, this won't be my life again, right?

"Don't be rude. Jiang Shikong was not angry and arrogant, but he gave people a kind and kind attitude, and said with a smile: "Chang'an, this is the Longyun mother-in-law of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, she is the patriarch of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and this time she came for one thing......

Granny Long Yun waved her hand lightly, and said with a smile: "The old woman is just occupying an idle position in the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and she has no reputation, but this time, she actually has something to ask for the little son......"

Occupy an idle position? Jiang Chang'an can know that the Heavenly Mandate Sect is the most famous sect of magic in the north, recruiting all kinds of fortune-telling talents. To be able to be called Jiang Lingfeng's honorific title in this kind of place will not be a simple character in any case.

Jiang Changan smiled simply: "What's the matter with my mother-in-law, just tell my grandfather, the kid is just an ordinary person, I'm afraid I can't help my mother-in-law?"

Granny Long Yun shook her head and smiled: "Childe said that he laughed, first, only the little boy can do this, and second, the little boy is not an ordinary person......"

Jiang Changan's breathing suddenly stopped, and a strong uneasiness rose in his heart, as if he was standing naked in front of the public, and he was looked at.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Long Yun's mother-in-law's mouth, this feeling was even stronger. Calmly said, "Only I can do it?"

"Yes, the old woman wants to borrow a ...... from Gongzi Jiang"

Jiang Changan instantly understood that the only person who had to go through his consent was the little maid Yirou, who was becoming familiar with him.

"My wife, I have been traveling abroad for two years, just to find a destined disciple, yesterday when I passed by the old friend's mansion, I happened to meet this little girl, but the old woman said that this little girl just didn't want to leave with me, and she had to keep saying that she would wait for the little boy to come back, hehe, I think I Long Yun has rejected countless people for most of my life, and it is the first time I have been so disregarded, haha. ”

Granny Long Yun said humorously: "Please also ask the little boy to persuade her, this girl is very talented, if she doesn't do something, she will waste this good talent given by God." ”

"The kid understands, it's just that everyone has the right to choose, if Rou'er really doesn't want to go, please don't embarrass her little girl......"

"Hehe, this little boy is naturally rest assured, don't say anything else, Jiang Lao Fox is here, little boy doesn't have to worry about it......"

Jiang Shikong smiled, which can be regarded as a guarantee.

Jiang Changan walked in front of Yirou, and before she could speak, the little girl raised her head, her face was still stained with undried tears, and she smiled and said, "Don't you want Rou'er?"

"Yes, of course. Jiang Changan gently wiped away her tears but wiped more and more, no matter how strong his usual mouth was, he became short of words at this time: "It's just Rou'er, you can live better, not just a little maid in any mansion, I hope you can go to the Heavenly Mandate Sect, since you have a good talent, you have to seize this good opportunity, don't be called a freak like me, maybe I will need your protection in the future, hehe......"

"Childe is not a freak!" Yi Rouqiong wrinkled, laughed, laughed and cried again.

"Mother-in-law, Rou'er is willing to go with you......"

Granny Long Yun was slightly stunned, this is it? She talked and persuaded for a whole day, but she didn't waver for half a minute, and when she got to the hands of this little boy, she solved it in a few words.

Jiang Changan turned around and said: "Mother-in-law, I have three requirements, first, Rou'er is kind by nature and doesn't like to compete with others, I don't want her to be hurt in the slightest!"

"Don't worry, little boy, with the status of the old woman in the Heavenly Mandate Sect, no one can bully her at all!" Granny Long Yun said, and the dragon's head cane also hit the ground hard, and a strong man's deterrence swept in, which made Jiang Changan feel relieved.

"Second, when Rou'er arrives in the Heavenly Mandate Sect, no matter what she uses, eats, or wears, she must be the best among all the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect!"

"The old woman is just this apprentice, so naturally she won't treat her badly......"

Jiang Changan's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly: "What I said is not just not to be treated, it is the best!"

Yi Rou, who was closest to him, was taken aback, Jiang Shikong, who was sitting there sipping tea, held a smile, and Granny Long Yun seemed to be shocked by Jiang Chang'an's sudden change, and smiled slightly: "The old woman promised the little boy that Yi Rou's food, shelter and clothes would be the best in the Heavenly Mandate Sect." ”

"Third ......" Jiang Changan suddenly smiled, "This little girl has no other hobbies, she just likes to watch some strange stories......

Yi Rou never expected Jiang Changan to make such a request for him, until when he said the third, the tears that had just stopped were about to burst again.

The little boy is always like this, he always remembers the most inconspicuous little things, but never says ......

Granny Long Yun said with a smile: "This little boy doesn't have to worry, although the collection of books of the Heavenly Mandate Sect is not as good as the Star Picking Tower, there are also a lot of strange books, reading is a good thing, if anyone dares not to accept this third request, my old woman will not agree to it first!"

Yi Rou smiled hard and said, "Childe, Rou'er is leaving, will the little boy miss Rou'er?"

"Yes!" Without a trace of hesitation, Jiang Changan said seriously.

Yi Rou suddenly stood on tiptoe and tapped lightly on his cheek like a dragonfly. Only this time she was no longer shy, leaned into his ear and said: "Childe, Mr. Pang said that it is a blessing to meet a person who is willing to protect, Rou'er is very lucky, Rou'er decided to learn life, protect Childe in the future, and will not let anyone hurt Childe!"

"Okay, I can remember. Jiang Changan joked.

He explained a few more words, thought about it, and decided to take Yirou out to buy some things first.

In the attic, Jiang Shikong and Granny Long Yun, who hadn't said a few words from beginning to end, were left.

Granny Long Yun walked to the door and looked at the Star Picking Tower. There is only one Mr. Shuwen who only knows how to dance and write - Zhang Yunzhi.

Jiang Shikong stood behind her with a smile, also looked at the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, and asked, "You're here, don't you want to take a look?"

Granny Long Yun shook her head with a smile.

"Long Yun, can you make another hexagram for Chang'an?"

"I can't tell the number of the little boy's life, it was like this fourteen years ago, and it is the same now. However, it is not easy to refuse. Granny Long Yun put away her thoughts and looked solemn: "Do you know that there is a hidden old man living in the ancestral hall of the Heavenly Mandate Sect?"

"Are you talking about not confusing the Zen master?"

Granny Long Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Before I came, I licked my face and was thick-skinned, and I finally asked a good question." ”

"How's the hexagram?"

"This life is full of souls, clever and well-behaved, will do nothing, born duckweed in the waves, relatives and friends cover the moon, full of trees and flowers although glamorous, a branch of the wall leans on the spring, Mo laughs at the people are not the best, once riding the wind on the heavenly boat. ”

Jiang Shikong whispered and repeatedly, frowning, "born duckweed in the waves" means that it is ill-fated, and "a branch by the wall" can be regarded as untainted and clean.

It's just that this "once riding the wind" is extremely mysterious, and the poem only says that once riding the wind on the heavenly boat, but does not mention the ordinary results of a lifetime.

These lines of poetry sound like auspicious images at first glance, but the real meaning is far more cruel than the surface, and half of what he says is also what Jiang Shikong dislikes the most.

Granny Long Yun said again: "After all, the hexagram is just a deduction, if you can really calculate the true destiny, the Heavenly Mandate Sect will not end up like this." It's just that after 14 years, when I see the little boy again today, I find that he is not like you...... Jiang Shikong"

"Oh?" Jiang Shikong was curious.

"Si Xueyi gave birth to three boys and one girl for your Jiang family, the eldest eldest daughter Jiang Qizhen has a bit of his mother's eccentric charm, Jiang Xiaoru and Jiang Lingfeng, the twin brothers, are even more like dividing the cunning and talent of your old fox into two halves, only Jiang Changan's child is too much like his father......" Long Yun's mother-in-law said, "You know I'm not talking about looks......

The old man who did not smile was stunned, Jiang Changan's father was a well-known gentleman before Jiang Changan, and he was a negative example of a tiger father without a dog.

If anyone else hears it, they won't think it's a good thing.

But Jiang Shikong suddenly raised his head and laughed, like the joy and joy of an ordinary person learning that his child had won the champion. Granny Long Yun also seemed to have expected him to have this kind of reaction, so she was not surprised.

......

Irouge left, as she had come, without warning.

Everything seems to have returned to its former tranquility, and Jiang Changan is alchemy and training as usual every day.

But in the past few days he had noticed that there was always a pair of eyes staring at him, and his intuition told him that they were not human eyes, but a creature, a creature designed to stalk and eavesdrop.

Liu Kuaiji and Liu Wenji of Lingxiao Palace have moved out of the Jiang family since they were beaten that day, and it stands to reason that they should have returned to Lingxiao Palace now.

In the evening of that day, Jiang Chang'an, as usual, walked in a horsetail alley in Huijiang Mansion.

Suddenly, the back of his head was cold, and a fist wind suddenly hit. He instinctively snorted coldly, and did not fight back directly, his body leaned slightly to the side, the fist crossed his ear, Jiang Changan saw the opportunity to punch and blast -

"Smack!"

The fists were fist-to-fist, making a gurgling sound and a snort of pain.
