Chapter 193: The Past of the Master
In the depths of the jungle in the distance, the man in purple dismounted from his horse, looked at the young man in black on the horse and said, "Third brother, after so many years, your accuracy is still so good. ”
Xiao Shao then turned over and dismounted, and behind the shiny fur mount, a series of prey hung upside down, one of which was a white wolf that stood out. There is no trace of miscellaneous hair on the top and bottom of the snow-white body, the size is huge, and there is an arrow in the throat, which is obviously an arrow to seal the throat. Hunting in this snowy jungle is already difficult, and the white wolf's coat color blends with the snow, so you have excellent eyesight to distinguish it. This wolf is so huge and athletic, but unfortunately it was Xiao Shao who met him, and he still became a bag in the end.
"It's just a brute." Xiao Shaohun didn't care.
Qi Feng's tone paused: "The third brother beat the white wolf because he wanted to make a cloak for the third sister-in-law, this white wolf skin is hard to find, and the third sister-in-law is now recovering from a serious illness, and she also needs to take good care of her body." ”
Xiao Shao glanced at him and did not speak. In fact, Qi Feng was right. Seeing that he was so cold, Qi Feng didn't mind, just shook his head and smiled: "Although the white wolf skin is good, it's a pity that the third sister-in-law hates white the most." If it was a red fox skin, she would be happier. ”
Xiao Shao paused, stopped to look at him, and said lightly: "What do you want to say." ”
A wry smile appeared on Qi Feng's face, these days, the relationship between the two has always been a little strange, even Xia Qing's brainless fool can see that something is wrong. Naturally, it was because Jiang Ruan was in a coma a few days ago, and Qi Feng's actions made Xiao Shao unhappy in his heart. He looked into the distance, and the peaks of Mount Canaan could be faintly seen among the ups and downs of the mountains, and he said: "Third brother, you are the third senior brother in Mount Canaan, and among the nine senior brothers, you are the most intelligent, and everything is difficult for you." Even if I learned to be a court trick, I am not as good as you when it comes to intelligence. ”
Xiao Shao lowered his eyes, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. Qi Feng's voice seemed to be carrying memories from his side: "At the beginning, you had a cold temperament, and you treated everyone coldly, except for the second brother who can say a few words to you, you can't look down on the rest of the senior brothers." At that time, we were young, and we were all young people with temperament, and when we saw you behaving like this, we only thought that you were arrogant, and I didn't want to be with you. ”
Qi Feng smiled slightly. At that time, they only felt that the days were hard, and then when their respective divisions came down the mountain, they really saw the glitz and bustle behind the red dust, among which the intrigue and the intrigue were fought in the open and dark, and they realized that the original days on the mountain were the most beautiful.
"The third brother once saved my life, and it's here." Qi Feng said suddenly: "I still remember the appearance of the third brother at that time, you didn't say anything, I was scared at the time, but you didn't have a nervous look at all, I thought you were very powerful at that time, so since then, I really admire you." ”
At that time, many years ago, it was also such a snowy day, and several brothers and sisters went out of the forest to hunt, and in the winter days of the deep mountains and old forests, there should have been no fierce beasts. Who knew that day he met a big black bear that came out to forage, the black bear was tall and fierce, at that time Guan Lianghan and they were far away, they couldn't come out to help, seeing that Qi Feng, who could only do a little three-legged cat kung fu, was about to die under the black bear's mouth, but an arrow flew in the middle and pierced the black bear's mouth. The black bear was furious, the man rushed up from behind, the arrow could not be used, Xiao Shao drew the short dagger on his body, and greeted it without changing his face.
Even if a person with good skills is concerned, facing a fierce beast at such a close range will inevitably suffer, not to mention that Xiao Shao only has a short dagger in his hand. One inch is short and one inch is dangerous, and you can imagine how dangerous it is. When Xiao Shao subdued the black bear at the end of the year, he had already suffered some injuries. It's just that he has always been dressed in black, and the blood stains can't be seen, and at a glance he looks as cold and indifferent as usual, except that his face is paler.
Qi Feng was very nervous at that time, but Xiao Shao didn't say anything. There is no deep hatred between the teenagers, and they are just fighting for a breath on weekdays. It is better to settle the dispute, Xiao Shao's calmness and indifference at that moment almost made Qi Feng look at him. He seemed to see from that incident that this cold-faced senior brother was not as unkind as he appeared, but he was just not good at expressing it. Qi Feng admired such a courageous person from the bottom of his heart, and it was precisely because of this that after leaving the school, he did not enter the imperial court as everyone thought, but went to Xiao Shaojinyiwei's Baizhang Building, hiding behind the scenes to do things for him. Because in Qi Feng's eyes, the career that followed Xiao Shao was more glorious than those so-called court glory.
Sobering up from his memories, Qi Feng smiled slightly: "What I want to say is that the third brother will always be the person I admire the most, and I will not fight for anything, and I have no other thoughts." The third sister-in-law is the most special woman I have ever met. He sighed softly: "If I had met her earlier, I would not have been so willing." But since she's your wife, she's just my sister-in-law. Speaking of the most gloomy, he couldn't hide the gloom in his tone.
"I didn't think you had anything else on your mind." Xiao Shao interrupted him, his tone as cold as ever: "You won't." ”
The three words "you won't" seem to be plain and unwavering, but they instantly bring warmth in this cold mountain. With a person like Xiao Shao, in fact, you shouldn't trust others easily, but you don't know three words, which contains an absolute trust. Qi Feng's heart was inexplicably sour, there was an indescribable bitter taste in his mouth, and he shook his head and said, "I always feel that if any of our senior brothers wants to catch up with you, it will be impossible. You are better than all of us. ”
Losing somewhere may not just be a matter of time before you meet. Xiao Shao is indeed the best person in the world, and he is very compatible with Jiang Ruan. Today's words, Qi Feng can be regarded as opening his heart and taking the initiative to erase the estrangement. Xiao Shao's answer also showed his attitude, although his heart was sour, in the end, he put down a stone. Qi Feng wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he changed the topic with a smile and said: "No matter what, the third sister-in-law is good after all, if she doesn't die, she will only have more blessings." It's just that this matter has nothing to do with southern Xinjiang, and the people of southern Xinjiang are already preparing to do it in Beijing, and Xuanli has a close relationship with southern Xinjiang, so maybe he is also involved in this matter. ”
"I'm not going to let him go." Xiao Shao said.
"He's probably trying to do it again." Qi Feng said: "At the beginning, he did such things and squandered the friendship between our senior brothers, although the master has expelled him from the master's door, but every time he thinks of it, he feels disgusted in his heart. Qi Feng sighed: "With his temperament of retribution, if one day the great cause of the world falls into his hands, the first one that will not be spared is our Canaan Mountain." ”
"There won't be that day." Xiao Shao said.
"I know that the third brother of the Dao will not let him succeed, and we have not forgotten the matter of the ninth junior brother." Qi Feng looked at his sleeve: "The debt he owes will be repaid one day." ”
……
After Qi Feng and Xiao Shao returned to Luyang Villa, Xia Qing, who came out to boil medicine, was unexpectedly happy to see the prey that the two brought back. It turned out that the white wolf bone was a precious medicine to attract medicine, so he dragged the white wolf back, only saying that he would return and send the wolf skin. Xiao Shao has always been generous in dealing with these things, and the rest of the treatment except for the wolf skin is useless to him, so he agreed immediately.
"I heard that white wolves are difficult to hunt, how do you hunt them?" Jiang Ruan had also seen a white wolf skin in the palace in his last life, which Xuan Li had bought from a merchant outside for a lot of money. Because a white wolf without a trace of miscellaneous hair on his body is rare, using an arrow or a knife will leave defects on the wolf's skin. The original complete white wolf skin was indeed enviable, but Xuanli was given to Chen Guifei. Chen Guifei made the white wolf skin into a wolf skin scarf, and the velvet was piled on the neck, and the emperor praised it. Xiao Shao went out and hunted a white wolf back, which really made her a little curious.
Xiao Shao glanced at her and said, "Use arrows." ”
Jiang Ruan: "......"
Xiao Shao couldn't help but laugh when he saw her speechless appearance. Jiang Ruan glared at him, this person was deliberately teasing her again. Suddenly thinking of something, she asked, "I heard from Master that you originally had nine brothers, and I just saw other calligraphy and paintings of brothers in the attic. Why don't you see the eighth junior brother? ”
Several of Xiao Shao's brothers and sisters, Jiang Ruan has almost seen them. Except for the senior brother Xue Da and the sixth junior brother Du Liu, who are traveling outside, they are not in Dajin for the time being. But the eighth and ninth, Xia Qing prevaricated as soon as he mentioned this matter, Xia Qing's head is really not good at lying, such an attitude is really strange in Jiang Ruan's eyes, and at this moment, seeing that Xiao Shao suddenly thought of this, he mentioned it in passing.
When Xiao Shao heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he didn't answer immediately, but slowly frowned. Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment and said, "If you don't want to say ......." ”
"The eighth is Xuanli." Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Shao interrupted her: "The ninth senior brother is actually the ninth senior sister, she died because of Xuanli, and after this incident, Xuanli was expelled from the master by the master." Xiao Shao's words were still concise and to the point as usual, but the short sentence was shocking to the listeners, and Rao is Jiang Ruan was also shocked by the twists and turns and was a little speechless. She stayed with Xuanli for a long time, and she never knew that Lu Dao Xuanli and Xiao Shao were the same senior brothers, let alone that Lu Dao Xuanli and Xiao Shao had such a holiday.
Seeing her shocked eyes, Xiao Shao reached out to hold her Rouyi, his hands were slender and distinct, not as rough as ordinary martial arts practitioners, but with a kind of smooth and powerful beauty, which was really pleasing to the eye. Jiang Ruan raised his eyes to look at him, Xiao Shao sighed, and said, "Sit down, I'll tell you slowly." ”
Although Mr. Yaqi on Mount Canaan was originally in seclusion, he was known as Mr. Destiny, and many people wanted to send their sons to Mount Canaan to learn art, but Mr. Yaqi had a strange temperament, and he would not be included in the door unless he was a person who liked his eyes. And the nine disciples who were included in the door by Mr. Yaqi do have their own merits, and they are all dragons and phoenixes among people.
Xue Da is a lobbyist with a lotus tongue, Guan Er has the courage of a military general, Xiao San is the first to assassinate, Qi Si is a military talent, Xia Wuyi has medical skills and the flesh and bones of the living dead, Du Liuyi has a pair of skillful hands that can make all kinds of hidden weapons, Mo Qi is a shocking genius, Xuan Ba has the wind of an emperor, Bai Jiu is the mantle of Mr. Baqi, and Xi's divination knows the destiny of heaven.
At the beginning, Bai Jiu was called Baizhu, and he was an abandoned baby picked up by Mr. Yaqi from outside, raised and raised as his own daughter. Mr. Baqi accepted eight male apprentices, and Baizhu is a woman, although there is no male and female defense in Canaan Mountain, but if it is passed out, it will also affect the eyes of the people around him to see Baizhu. Mr. Baqi made Baizhu dress up as a man, and he and Xiao Shao were commensurate with each other as brothers on weekdays. is nominally the ninth junior brother, but in fact it is the ninth junior sister.
There is such a little sister on Canaan Mountain, and Baizhu is indeed born smart and cute, and was raised by Mr. Yaqi with an innocent temperament. The brothers are all very fond of Baizhu on weekdays. In these long years, Baizhu has finally grown from a girl to a beautiful girl.
Even how to make men's clothes on weekdays, in the end, it can't hide the fact that Baizhu is a woman, especially at the same age as a flower, which girl is not pregnant with spring, and no one knows when Lu Dao fell in love with Xuanli.
When this person was in Mount Canaan, in all fairness, he was indeed a very outstanding young man. He was born handsome and elegant, and he had the unique noble demeanor of royal nobles. What's even more rare is that there is no shelf, he treats people gently and politely, not only Baizhu, but also a kind of senior brother at the beginning, and he really intersected with him at the beginning.
The disciples who grew up in Mount Canaan were very out of character by Mr. Yaqi. In comparison, Xiao Shao and Xuanli are more mature and introverted in their behavior, but compared with the cold Xiao Shao, it is obvious that Xuanli, who is always smiling, is more like a spring breeze.
Baizhu is a girl with a strong personality, who has almost no contact with the human world under the mountain, and her world has a kind of simple fragility that is almost transparent. If you like a person, you like it, and it's very obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Baizhu likes Xuanli, and Xuanli can naturally see it. If you don't like it, just say you don't like it, and the most hateful thing is to use other people's minds to achieve your own ulterior secrets.
At the beginning, he was the emperor who ruled the world, and he was originally a royal disciple, so it is understandable to practice this. Baizhu is proficient in divination and hexagrams, but cannot divinate himself and those close to him. Mr. Yaki said that this was the destiny of heaven. The books in Mr. Yagi's attic can be flipped at will, but Mr. Yagi kept a hand when teaching him things, the so-called lifeblood of the emperor and the royal family - the celestial phenomenon of the dragon vein.
No one knows when Lu Dao Xuanli got into this matter, the terrible thing is that he was only a teenager at the time, and he was able to hold back the desire in his heart to plan, on the surface, he was with the brothers and brothers of Canaan Mountain, but on the other hand, he secretly instigated Bai Jiu to steal Mr. Baqi's celestial map.
Bai Jiu was only in the prime of her life at the time, and she didn't understand conspiracy and desire at all, let alone what it meant for Xuanli to ask her to do it, she just thought that the ordinary senior brother asked her to steal a meal and make a copper plate or something. Mr. Yaqi treats his apprentices harshly, but he treats her very leniently. Baizhu was bent on stealing the celestial map for Xuan's departure, not wanting the astrological map to be an ordinary item, and there was a secret mechanism in it, Baizhu would only do some self-defense efforts, where could it withstand the highly poisonous hidden weapon, and he was hit by the hidden weapon when he landed.
The poison must be unraveled within an hour, and if Baizhu is discovered earlier, it will not die. But the Tianxiang diagram was hidden in the secret room, and only Xuanli Zhilu Dao Baizhu went to the secret room, and he didn't say a word and didn't tell anyone about it for fear that the matter would be revealed and cause trouble. Baizhu died under the secret weapon in the secret room, and was discovered a day later. Xuan Li said at the time that he didn't know anything, but he was still discovered by Mr. Baqi later.
Mount Canaan does not accept treacherous people, and besides, it is such a beast with a human face and a beast's heart. Baizhu is the daughter of Xuanli Teacher, and he is sincere again, but because of his viciousness and selfishness, he gave his life in vain. Xuanli refused to admit it, and there was no other evidence, Chen Guifei was in the limelight at that time, if she dealt with Xuanli privately, it would only bring trouble to the disciples of Canaan Mountain. Baizhu is the little sister of all brothers, and she has always been cared for as a relative, so she died tragically, and everyone was furious. It would be okay if he wanted to secretly make Xuanli pay for his life, but in the end, it was Mr. Yaqi who stepped forward to stop the angry senior brother. He said that he had already calculated this day, and there should be such a catastrophe in Baizhu's life, not Xuanli would also be someone else. In the same way, Xuanli will also have his own fate, people outside the world should not meddle in the affairs of the world, and the cause of Xuanli planted today will one day taste the bitter fruits of brewing.
Mr. Yaqi's words were the most difficult in the end, but in the end, the brothers and sisters dispelled the idea of secretly dealing with Xuanli. But everyone can no longer live with Xuanli in Mount Canaan, hurting his daughter as his own, and it is impossible for Mr. Yaqi to be indifferent even if he is a saint. After this incident, Xuanli was expelled from the division, announcing that Xuanli had nothing to do with Mount Canaan.
From then on, when he met Xuanli again, the senior brother was only regarded as a stranger. The matter of Bai Jiu was a taboo in Mount Canaan, and no one had ever mentioned him.
"He did ......it again." Jiang Ruan muttered, suddenly realizing that Xiao Shao was looking at her and realized that what he said was wrong, Jiang Ruan hurriedly said: "I mean, he actually had the scheming and means so long ago. ”
Xiao Shao's memories of the past were really tortuous and heavy, and the Baizhu in it was almost exactly the same as the scene in her previous life. Didn't they all fall in love with a humble gentleman in their minds, and they approached with great joy, but they found that they were hungry wolves who ate people and didn't spit out bones, and they lost their lives in vain. She suddenly felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, it turned out that whether it was in her previous life or in this life, Xuanli's means were never just aimed at her alone, using other people's sincerity to achieve the goal for him, and she and Baizhu were just a little stupid.
"He is an enemy of Mount Canaan, and one day this account will be recovered." Xiao Shao lowered his eyes and said.
Jiang Ruan squinted at him, and his beautiful eyes rose as if they were nothing, as if they were a little narrow. Xiao Shao was a little hairy by her, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"The ninth senior sister is smart and innocent, and she is the treasure in the hands of the senior brothers." Jiang Ruan said slowly: "But recently you chose Xuanli, you can't compare to him?" ”
Xiao Shao glanced at her, a helpless look appeared on her handsome face, thought for a while, and said, "She's just a sister." ”
Jiang Ruan shook his head and said, "You said that Senior Sister Jiu is one of the best in a hundred, but I think she has one bad thing, that is, her vision is not good. She looked at Xiao Shao, and suddenly became vicious, and reached out to pinch Xiao Shao's cheek and pulled it to both sides: "If I were her, I would definitely not choose to leave." What's so good about Xuan Li, but it's just a little pretentious, in my opinion," she smiled and said: "The face in front of me is more beautiful, more elegant, smarter, better martial arts, and even richer in terms of wealth, although the status is not comparable, not a royal noble, but it is exactly what I want." ”
Although her smile on weekdays is gorgeous, she always brings a little estrangement, but after waking up from a serious illness this time, it seems to have changed, and she smiles real and cheerfully in front of Xiao Shao. The smile is bright and moving, and the charm in the eyes is almost dazzling. Xiao Shao couldn't help but lose his mind slightly when she pulled his face, but he didn't care about her rude behavior. Instead, he grabbed her waist and smiled softly: "Just what you want?" ”
Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment, his hand unconsciously let go, Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows, but he was a little happy: "My honor." With that, he leaned over and pecked her on the lips.
Jiang Ruan: "...... Whoopy thief! ”
……
The days on Mount Canaan were easy and pleasant, and it seemed that all the earthly world could be forgotten for a while. Every day is idle, this is where Xiao Shao grew up, Xiao Shao took her through the valley that used to be often repaired, as if she could grow up with him. However, the time of the beautiful Lu always flies, and after Jiang Ruan has completely recovered from his injury, it is time to go down the mountain and return to Beijing.
At a special time, Xia Qing and Qi Feng also returned to Beijing together. Before leaving, Jiang Ruan sat in the carriage and leaned on Xiao Shao and said, "If everything settles one day in the future, I would like to come here to live longer, and my mood seems to be much more open." ”
"If you like, I'll bring you here often." Xiao Shao patted her head.
Jiang Ruan paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, Xiao Shao, I have something to hide from you. ”
Xiao Shao raised his eyes to look at her.
"This is my secret, and I originally intended that no one would tell me in this life. But now I've changed my mind. Jiang Ruan lowered his head, not knowing if he was avoiding Xiao Shao's eyes, and his voice contained an indescribable subtle emotion: "I want to break the barrier between us, and I plan to tell you." Not now, when I return to Beijing, after I finish dealing with one thing, I will tell you about it. After telling you, whatever you think of me, I will accept it. ”
Xiao Shao was silent for a long time, suddenly stretched out his hand, gently and firmly straightened her head and forced him to look directly at him, his dark eyes were bottomless, and there were ripples in the calm Tan water, which was magnificent, making people dizzy.
"Ah Ruan, I don't care. If you feel reluctant, don't say it. He smiled faintly: "No matter what happens, in my eyes, you are you." Your so-called diaphragm has never existed in my heart. ”
