There was not a single wind in the clearing, the sun was shallow, and the chill faded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this time, he should have been boating on the lake, scalding a pot of warm wine, and eating spring leeks and new perch, but now he was standing in this messy yard, uneasy about the pavilion that was burned into a pile of charcoal, Zhu Zhengyu was full of unhappiness, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Qi Mutian and Qiu Yinming never left last night, and it wasn't until it was dark this morning that they saw Qiu Yun send the two out of the door with a happy face, and held Qi Mutian's hand and said a good word. Zhu Zhengyu was puzzled, and wanted to ask, but before he could speak, Qiu Yun instructed him to send someone to buy wine, and to hold a banquet here at noon to announce a major event to everyone. Zhu Zhengyu was taken aback, seeing the master's cheerful appearance, it was definitely a happy event. But Qi Mutian and Qiu Yinming are not friendly people, so what is the relationship with the master? Zhu Zhengyu couldn't hold back his curiosity, and he was a little anxious.

Early in the morning, a subordinate reported that around midnight last night, the old pavilion master Bai Chengfei passed away, and it seems that the martial arts exercise that was scheduled to start on the outskirts of the city today cannot be held as scheduled. Asking the Sword Pavilion was tragically attacked, whether it was friend or foe, he was shocked and couldn't help but lament that creation made people. I don't know what Qiu Yun plans to do later, Zhu Zhengyu held a banquet on the one hand, and asked Long Shao, Du Yu and others to pay attention to the movements of various sects.

Just as he was having a moment of free time, he suddenly saw a person walking slowly from the entrance of the sunny slope of the tea field, and Zhu Zhengyu recognized it at a glance, wasn't it Zhang Tianyi. Last time, he was chased and killed by the Xihai League, and after escaping back to the villa, he did not stay for a long time, and after a few days, he packed his bags and took some followers to the east, saying that he was going to Jiuhua Mountain to visit the Kuyun Zen Master. A few days ago, I saw that he also went to Hangzhou, and invited him to attend the meeting together, but he said that he was not interested in the conference and had other things. Today, he came refreshed and dashing, and he must have done it. Zhang Tianyi, Zhu Zhengyu, doesn't like it, but he has to admire him.

"The owner is well." Zhang Tianyi has come to the front at this moment. Zhu Zhengyu hurriedly collected his thoughts, smiled and replied, "Mr. Zhang must have heard about last night." Now that it's a mess, how can Mr. be interested again. ”

"Chaos leads to change, change is the only way to get through, and only then can we go to the old and welcome the new. Who's to say this mess isn't a good thing? Zhang Tianyi's eyebrows stretched and he said very freely, "I'm from the city, and last night's incident has been spread widely, and I heard that the yamen sent people later." The old sect master is a megatron this time, so he must be in a good mood. ”

"Speaking of which, I don't quite understand Master's intentions." Zhu Zhengyu didn't want to say more, but Zhang Tianyi had an expression of disbelief, and couldn't help but say again: "These old things that were shaken out last night, Master, he never mentioned them to us, and the second brother even had a little awkward trouble with Master for this, alas." ”

"The owner of the village doesn't have to worry about this, the grandmaster is so forbearant that I can't wait for it. If there is a teacher like this, others may not be able to ask for it. I see ......," Zhang Tianyi said slowly, "Is the owner a little tired of this martial arts conference?" Zhu Zhengyu was slightly stunned, but he didn't deny it. Zhang Tianyi smiled: "When I saw the owner of the village a few days ago, I noticed it. It's hard for you, the dignified county king, who is at ease in Chunlin Villa, who wants to come all the way to such troubled waters. These so-called famous families have always been the most famous, and most of them are thankless. Hmph, I didn't expect that Xihai League is now willing to put down his body in order to make a good name. In my opinion, Heng Jingzhao is most likely old and confused. ”

Zhu Zhengyu said: "Mr. has been walking alone for a few days, so he is not afraid of being targeted by the people of the Xihai League?" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Tianyi sneered, "They have a lot of troubles of their own." Who cares about me. ”

While the two were talking, some of their subordinates came back from outside one after another, full of wine and food, and came over one by one to let Zhu Zhengyu take a look, there were roast duck and goose, wind chicken and vinegar fish, a large bowl of meat and vegetarian steamed dishes, all kinds of dim sum and dried fruits, and the best Jinhua osmanthus wine, red, green and green, extremely rich. There are also subordinates who clean up a corner of the yard, carry tables and chairs, put dishes and chopsticks, and start to get busy.

Zhang Tianyi asked curiously: "This, isn't it a celebration of last night's events?" ”

"Where." Zhu Zhengyu shook his head, "After the people dispersed last night, the master was still dissatisfied, saying that it would continue today. Who knows, in the middle of the night, Qi Mutian of the Xihai League, and that Qiu Yinming suddenly came to visit the master and stayed overnight. This morning, Master seemed to be a different person, and immediately ordered me to hold a banquet at noon to celebrate. Odd! ”

Zhang Tianyi thought sideways for a moment, and said, "What's the matter with him, he will understand it in a while." I have come today for a good thing. ”

"Oh?"

"Do you remember the owner, Wujin Chalcedony Pill?"

When Zhu Zhengyu heard this, he let out a soft "ah". This thing, when he first met Zhang Tianyi, he once gave two boxes, saying that it was a gift from a prince of Xifan to the lord of the Xihai Alliance, which can relieve worries and calm the nerves, and has been known to have miraculous effects. Zhang Tianyi once said that fortunately, Heng Jingzhao didn't know the goods, so he got such good things that were difficult to buy. Zhu Zhengyu suspiciously tried to take it according to what Zhang Tianyi said, and it worked. A dose into the throat to fall asleep, sweet dreams fluttering, worries are thrown away, waking up a hundred bones comfortable, endless aftertaste. It's a pity that there are only two boxes, one box for himself to treasure, and the other box for his brother King Chu. Later, I asked Zhang Tianyi again, but I learned that the formula of this black gold chalcedony pill was unknown, it was very precious, and all the favors had been sent in two years. Nowadays, there is still a little bit left in the ice room of Chunlin Villa, and I am reluctant to use it.

Zhang Tianyi saw that Zhu Zhengyu was wandering, and said with a smile: "I finally figured out the formula of Wujin Chalcedony Pill, it's really worth the trip." ”

"What kind of divine prescription is it? Where do you know? Don't...... Is it also produced in Middle-earth? Zhu Zhengyu saw his complacent appearance, thinking that it was a known configuration method, and he was overjoyed for a while.

"I went to visit Zen Master Kuyun a month ago because of this. At that time, I was afraid that it would not work, so I did not inform the owner. ”

Zhu Zhengyu couldn't help nodding: "That's right." Kuyun is proficient in pharmacology, and I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who are on the right side. ”

Zhang Tianyi said: "I can't hide it, when Zen Master Kuyun visited the villa half a year ago, I asked him to study the internal principles of this Dan. Coincidentally, when I went to Jiuhua Mountain, he had just refined the most bizarre thing in this Dan. What is your word? Zhu Zhengyu couldn't take his eyes off it, and listened carefully to him and continued with a smile: "It turns out that the strange thing and A Furong are of the same origin. ”

"Fleur?" Zhu Zhengyu was puzzled, "This hibiscus can relieve pain and calm the nerves, but it is also precious, but I have never heard of such a miraculous effect." ”

"Don't worry, listen to me. Although this thing is not a hibiscus, if the hibiscus is steamed nine times, refined into a fine powder like frost and snow, mixed with borneol musk and honey, it is the 'chalcedony' of black gold chalcedony! The surface layer of 'Wujin' is not very unusual, it is nothing more than ginseng, yellow essence, shou wu and other tonic herbs. Speaking of this, Zhang Tianyi took out a small porcelain box from his arms and handed it to Zhu Zhengyu, "Please take a look." ”

The paste in the white porcelain box is as white as white jade, and the aroma is refreshing, Zhu Zhengyu was surprised but still had some doubts, and said sideways: "This, have you tried it?" ”

Zhang Tianyi had a vague smile on his face, and said, "Of course I tried." Otherwise, how can you offer treasure to the owner? Compared with the original Wujin Chalcedony Pill, this thing can be said to be more than inferior. Words are difficult to express, the owner will know if he has time to taste it himself. However, although this thing is good, it cannot be used too much. ”

Zhu Zhengyu just wanted to continue to ask him why he said this, but he saw Long Shao coming back from outside and walking towards the two, so he hurriedly put the box into his cuffs. When Zhang Tianyi saw it, he laughed softly: "Why, are you still afraid that he will talk about you?" Zhu Zhengyu shook his head: "You also know my second brother's temperament, the most unsightly person is greedy for pleasure, he has been ridiculed by him last time, and he almost told the master." ”

Long Shao stepped forward and bowed his hand lukewarmly to Zhang Tianyi, "What kind of wind blew Mr. Zhang here today?" Last night was so lively, Mr. was not interested. ”

Zhang Tianyi smiled and said politely: "Don't tease the second owner. I am a person who cherishes my life, and I am very self-aware, but I don't want to meet the people of the Xihai Alliance. Please forgive the main body of Erzhuang. Come today, I have important matters to discuss with the owner. Chunlin Villa's expenses are getting bigger, and it is necessary to plan more for the future. ”

"I know that Mr. Zhang has a way to make money." Long Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm a martial artist, so I don't understand this." ”

"Second brother, what's going on in the Sword Pavilion?" Zhu Zhengyu asked. The last time he plotted against Hengyu in Jingzhou, although Zhang Tianyi and Long Shao planned together, but afterwards, Long Shao was punished by the master, but Zhang Tianyi was not reprimanded at all, which made Long Shao very dissatisfied, and since then he has been estranged from Zhang Tianyi. Now seeing that the two of them are not speculative, Zhu Zhengyu immediately diverted the topic.

"Hmph, that's ridiculous." Long Shao said, "Those turtles with shrunken heads yesterday are vying to come to the door today to offer condolences. While telling Zhu Zhengyu what he had seen, while looking at the banquet that had been set up in the courtyard, he suddenly frowned and said, "Master, what is this going to do?" ”

As he was talking, a subordinate suddenly came to report, saying that Qiu Yinming and the two people were almost at the door. Zhu Zhengyu said: "I think it was the master who invited him here." You weren't there last night, he and Qi Mutian said that they had a 'private matter' to see the master, and the master called a banquet this morning. Alas, I'll put it in the first place, and see what variables there are. ”

When it was, on the mountain road leading to the tea field, Qiu Yinming walked slowly in front, followed by Liu Lihao and Qiao San.

From last night to this morning, full of emotions ups and downs, now I can't tell what it's like, whether it's surprise, it's strange, it's joy, it's sadness.

After saying goodbye to his father with Qi Mutian in the morning, the two walked all the way to the garden. Halfway through the trip, Qiu Yinming hesitated again and again, and finally asked: "Uncle, there is something that I should not ask, but I have to ask you." Back then, his father survived the catastrophe, why did he ......" He stopped talking, stopped and lowered his head and said, "Why didn't you go to find your mother?" I don't even know about my mother's pregnancy. They...... They don't have a good relationship, do they? ”

Qi Mutian saw that he couldn't hide his anger under his eyebrows, sighed lightly, and said, "Your father is such a person. It's not that the relationship is bad, but it's ......" said this, brushed his sleeves and paced a few steps to himself, turned sideways, and said with a lot of bitterness: "Your mother has always been in love with him, and I don't know how much affection he has in his heart." ”

Seeing him like this, Qiu Yinming suddenly thought in his heart: Qi Mutian was looking for his mother's whereabouts everywhere back then, and it was not until many years later that he could still know that his mother was hunted down and killed, and there was something about his descendants. Don't...... Moreover, when we first met, we were very kind to him, and in the days that followed, they were much more loving than their biological father. After so many years, now he has retired, but he is still alone. Thinking of this, Qiu Yinming's heart couldn't help but sigh. But I thought about it again, the past is like smoke, why be persistent, so I put aside my sad thoughts, calmed my mood, and slowly stepped forward and said: "I have understood." No one can be held accountable for the past. You and I have to weigh the current situation carefully. ”

Qi Mutian nodded, turned around, couldn't tell whether he was relieved or sighed in his eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "You are really calm, good, good." He patted him on the shoulder, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your father will never embarrass me, although he has Chunlin Villa and I am in the Xihai League, as long as it is not openly hostile, he and I will always be brothers, and this matter is beneficial and harmless." I see that he is so happy today, he still likes you very much, and the banquet at noon is also for you, and your relationship will be made public at that time, what are you going to do? ”

Qiu Yinming pondered for a while, and said calmly: "Push the boat down the river." Uncle rest assured, I have made up my mind to join the Xihai League, even if the father and son recognize each other, he will not live up to his promise in the future. Go to the feast today and see what my father says, if he wants me to follow me, I am afraid I will not be able to push it back. It is better to take this opportunity to find out all the stakes of Chunlin Villa. Uncle also knows that Zhang Tianyi, Di Taifeng, and Long Shao are not only enemies of the Xihai League, even if they are personal grudges, I will never let them go. ”
