It is said that the pines and cypresses are evergreen, but they do not see that even the pines and cypresses have yellow and withered needles, but there are pines and cypresses next to the fallen leaves, which are towering into the clouds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoA few pairs of old boots stepped on the old fallen leaves, and the sunlight also passed through the branches, forming large and small spots of light on the ground, and there were raindrops hanging on the branches.

Chen Xiu had a few burdens hanging on his body, looking at the green tile house in front of him, and trotted a few steps to catch up with Lu Yu. "It's finally here!"

Zhao Xiwen handed over the jade ring to the porter, and only said, "Nanhu Zhao Xiwen asks to see you." ”

The concierge spread quickly, and after a while, I saw a Xue Ying come out.

Sure enough, he didn't want to see this brother-in-law, Chen Xiu saw it in his eyes. That Xue Ying had a cold face, Chen Xiu didn't look happy, and secretly scolded him for being snobbish in his heart, and he went in like a child.

Xue Ying led Chen Xiu and Lu Yu to the living room, and someone had already served refreshments. After a while, Xue Ying found Xue Mingde. Xue Mingde didn't say anything all the way, and when he was about to reach the main hall door, he suddenly stopped and asked, "What do you think of the comparison between Zhao Xiwen and Sun Yucheng?" ”

Xue Ying didn't know what her father meant by his sudden question, and thought for a moment and said, "Yucheng and I have known each other since childhood, and you know his talent and character. I don't know how Zhao Xiwen is, but when I saw him for the first time today, I felt too weak. I don't think his friend is a serious person. ”

"In this way, Yin'er is really on the right path to follow Sun Yucheng." Xue Mingde frowned slightly.

"But how can I explain the marriage contract to the Zhao family?" Xue Ying said worriedly. Xue Mingde didn't speak, pushed the door and went in.

Zhao Xiwen entered the Xue family and didn't say a word, he was very restrained. Lu Yu looked at him and didn't speak, and he was embarrassed in his heart. The maid had already come back for tea three times before Xue Ying and Xue Mingde came in.

"Uncle!" Zhao Xiwen stood up and saluted.

Seeing that Xue Mingde had just entered the main hall, he suddenly raised his sword and knelt down in the south, crying, "Brother Zhao, you saved my life that day, gave me money, and became brothers with me." With the agreed marriage, the oath is not forgotten. Xue was believed today, and he deserved to die to apologize. ”

"Father!" Xue Ying was shocked, and immediately understood Xue Mingde's intentions, and stood aside and didn't stop him.

Chen Xiu saw it clearly, this Xue Mingde still had a tense face when he entered the door, and it was also very good to cry when he said it.

Zhao Xiwen was shocked, hurriedly helped him up, and said again and again, "What are you doing here!" ”

Lu Yu was also stunned.

Xue Mingde said sadly, "When I agreed with your father back then, I didn't dare to forget even if I died!" Now, since I can't keep my covenant, I can only apologize with death! Zhao Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's a pity to be like this." But how can you apologize with death! It's just a joke that day! ”

Can you still play like this? Sure enough, the scholar is sour and rotten, and it is too easy to be deceived. Chen Xiu said in his heart.

"I can't keep the contract, Xue has to apologize with death!" Xue Mingde said that Hengjian was about to commit suicide.

Zhao Xiwen was speechless with a calm face, Lu Yu held Xue Mingde and snatched the sword, "What does he want your life for?" If you want to die, you have to tell everyone that you committed suicide, not Brother Zhao! ”

Zhao Xiwen also said, "Uncle! It doesn't have to be this way! ”

Lu Yu said that he grabbed the sword in his hand, and suddenly looked up at Chen Xiu in a slight daze, shook his head and sneered at the corner of his mouth. Chen Xiu immediately understood that he was going to die! No wonder Lu Yu snatched his sword down so easily.

Chen Xiu also said, "It just so happens that Brother Zhao is here, so I don't have to travel thousands of miles to mourn after a while." But you've got a good game. Xue Ying didn't know whether she was angry or excited, but she saw that Xue Mingde's face still didn't change.

What an old slippery head! Chen Xiu scolded secretly, and said, "After you die, others must be rumored that the Xue family is trustworthy, but it's a pity that you have an unfilial daughter, so that you were forced to die by the vicious Zhao family." With your death, the Zhao and Xue families will definitely become enemies. In my opinion, it is better to say that there is a promise of gold, how about you take a thousand gold to offset this promise? ”

Xue Mingde's face changed.

"What the little brother said is reasonable, but I didn't think it through." Xue Mingde suddenly got up and walked away, "Someone!" Arrange for the nephew and two to stay. ”

Chen Xiu looked at him and smiled, "It's not easy to be calm with him so cold!" ”

The attendants came in, saluted, and led them to their lodgings.

"Alas! What are you two doing here? Zhao Xiwen sighed.

Lu Yu complained when he heard this, and said with a wry smile, "You don't know the hearts of good people anymore, do you really think that your uncle is going to die?" ”

Zhao Xiwen sighed again, "You don't have to be like this. The Zhao family is down...... It would be reasonable for them to break the contract. ”

Chen Xiu smiled, "That's what you're wrong. It is said that if he wants to break this covenant, he must at least take a thousand gold. Besides, you have come all the way here, not to mention the hard work, just talk about the money, plus the robbery, how much have you lost? And my money. This has to be counted on their heads, and we can't afford to lose money. If nothing else, at least eat him first! ”

Chen Xiu's eyebrows fluttered.

Lu Yu was suddenly stunned when he heard this. Xiaoqi grew up like this!

Zhao Xiwen sighed again, "Seeing that my uncle had a gloomy face when he left, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." ”

Chen Xiu and Lu Yu were both stunned, looked at each other, and then recalled Xue Mingde's actions. "Not good!" This Xue family can't stay for a long time!

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Chen Xiu picked up Zhao Xiwen and scolded, "Hurry up!" If it's too late, you might have to die here! ”

Chen Xiu rushed out, but saw that the house was doused with oil. Out of nowhere, a man with an iron mask scurried, and he forced a few people back in a few moves.

Chen Xiu's heart was half cold, "Your father-in-law is going to burn us!" ”

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the house was surrounded in an instant, and the father and son of the Xue family also appeared together. The masked man withdrew his hand and retreated behind Xue Mingde.

Lu Yu is in front of the sword. Zhao Xiwen looked around with a sad face, "Miss Xue refuses to marry, so Zhao will leave immediately." ”

"What's the use of you saying that now? Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything with me! Chen Xiu pushed Lu Yu away with a smile and stared at Xue Mingde and walked over. Lu Yu suspiciously stretched out his hand to stop him, and then thought that he was already dead, maybe he really had a way.

Seeing that he was full of confidence with his head held high, people on both sides did not dare to step forward when they saw his momentum. saw Chen Xiu walk in front of Xue Ying, "You are also the son of the Xue family, why are you still holding this thing yourself?" "Saying that, he took the torch in Xue Ying's hand and looked at Xue Mingde." You! Xue Ying looked at Chen Xiu, then at Xue Mingde, and saw that Xue Mingde did not react and did not make a move.

"Look at me first." Chen Xiu smiled and brought the torch close to him. Xue Mingde stared at Chen Xiu with a mocking expression. Suddenly, the flame flickered, and Xue Mingde's face suddenly froze, and he couldn't laugh anymore!

"Do you know who I am? If I die here today, tomorrow the valley will be razed to the ground! Chen Xiu stared at Xue Mingde with a smile, but saw that the flame was purple and extinguished. Chen Xiu felt inexplicable and threw the fire pole.

Xue Mingde's eyelids suddenly trembled, and he suddenly snatched the torch next to him and swung it towards Chen Xiu.

He suddenly attacked, where did Chen Xiu react? waited for the torch to hit Chen Xiu, but saw that the torch was extinguished suddenly. Chen Xiu was shocked and frightened, and he didn't have time to react, so Xue Mingde stared at Chen Xiu, only saying that he had no fear.

Xue Mingde clenched his fists and saluted, "I am clumsy for a while, and I ask the second master to forgive me!" ”

Chen Xiu thought he was going to make a move, but he suddenly became respectful. He originally wanted to reveal the identity of Chen Guogongzi, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, Xue Mingde suddenly became so respectful and called him 'Second Master' again. Chen Xiu said in his heart that he recognized the wrong person, and then he thought about it and simply made a mistake, and he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he just stood with a cold face.

Xue Mingde thought that Chen Xiu's anger had not subsided, and respectfully took two steps back before turning around and leaving. Xue Ying followed behind, wondering in her heart, "Father! This is?! ”

Xue Mingde only felt a cold sweat, looked at Xue Ying and said in a deep voice, "Prepare 10,000 gold for him." ”

High canal

The door of the main hall opened, the sunlight shone in, and the bloodied warrior knelt with his helmet held high.

"Defeated!" Like something stuck in his throat, "Heavy rain, Humen collapsed." Xian Bing took the opportunity to break through the Tiger Gate and escape from the Valley of the Trapped Beasts. General Xu died in battle! ”

A few words, but they weigh on everyone's heart. No one spoke, and Chen Jin could only hear his own heartbeat.
