Qingzhou is among the top in terms of population compared to other states, and it is also one of the best in terms of economy. At the same time, Qingzhou is also the place where sects and gangs gather the most, and the chaos is second to none, and basically every day there will be disputes. In this regard, the government said that as long as it does not affect the interests of the common people and the country, the government will not interfere. This makes the people in the martial arts unscrupulous, dead people happen every day, and every month a few gangs are annexed and the sect is destroyed. But the Heavenly Dao cycle, where there is death, there is life, and newborn gang sects have sprung up all over Qingzhou.

Of course, there are also pure lands in Qingzhou, such as Wutai Mountain and Guangji Temple.

Guangji Temple was built in the Qianqing Dynasty, repaired in the previous dynasties, although famous, but the incense has not been prosperous.

At this moment, on the mountain road below Guangji Temple. An old monk in a yellow monk's robe was walking down the mountain road step by step. The thin morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the stone steps, one high and one low, were still a little slippery, and the old monk moved slowly and walked very carefully.

"Master—Master—" The tranquility of Mount Wutai was shattered by an anxious call.

The old monk stopped, sat down on the steps slowly, and slowly turned sideways to look back.

On the winding mountain road, in the mist, a small monk was rushing down. Due to the slippery steps, the little monk almost slipped several times, you must know that this section of the mountain road is not only high, but also very steep, not only the old monk's heart is tight, but the little monk himself is so frightened that he inhales sharply.

"Slow down, slow down. The old monk hurriedly reminded.

"Out of the way, out of the way. The little monk was anxious to comfort.

The little monk's face turned red and he was out of breath. sat next to the old monk, gently pulled the monk's robe on the old monk's arm, and said with a little crying: "Master, don't go, okay." ”

The old monk looked at the little monk with a pair of kind eyes. Suddenly lowered his head slightly, sighed, and was reluctant in his heart, but he had already made up his mind.

The little monk began to cry. Yes, the old monk has not left him for as long as he can remember, not even for a day. Even if the old monk goes down the mountain, he will always come back before dark.

However, this time was different. It is said that he was going to leave for a while, and the old monk always said, "I will be back soon." ”

According to the old monk, he is going to fulfill the agreement of seven years ago, and the specific little monk is not clear.

The little monk didn't know how far Jeju was from here, but he knew that it would take at least two months to go. For such a long time, the little monk had an inexplicable panic, a kind of panic and fear that he was about to part with his only relative, after all, he was only nine years old.

Not far away, the departing old monk waved his hand slowly and said with a smile: "Go back!

The little monk wiped his tears. In the end, he still left, the little monk already knew this result, but he still tried his best to keep it. Not for anything else, just for the non-existent hope in my heart.

Jeju, Nakbangseong.

South of the city, the streets of Dahong Street. In the Xiang Mansion opposite Wanhuayuan, there is a square table less than a zhang long and wide built into the dining room on the northwest side of the main hall, and an old man in a brown cotton robe and a boy in a white robe sit opposite each other. There are two dishes and one soup on the table, and the dishes are very ordinary.

The boy didn't know whether he was hungry or in a hurry, so he picked up the bowl and picked it up quickly, and in a moment the bowl was already empty. The boy put down the bowl, slapped his chopsticks on the table, and said to the old man opposite, "I'm full, I'm going to play." Then he eagerly picked up the folding fan on the corner of the table and hurried out.

"Young master, young master, come back early. Don't forget Mr. Wu's class in the afternoon. The old butler chased to the door and shouted loudly.

However, the small figure has long disappeared in front of him.

The old butler looked at it for a long time, then finally lowered his head and sighed. Turn around and go back to the courtyard. The cold wind blew and took away the last few dead leaves on the tree, and the yellow and curly leaves fluttered in the air for a while, as if they were a little nostalgic, but they still fell in the end.

The dead leaves of the land lined the huge but quiet Xiangfu, and everything seemed so dilapidated and desolate.

Xiang Fu was not like this before, all these changes started from Xiang Yang's death on Chongming Island two years ago. Since then, the servants and servants in the mansion have also been forced to be dismissed one after another, and now only the old housekeeper is left, taking care of the only master of the Xiang Mansion - Xiang You.

As for who Xiang You's mother is, the old housekeeper doesn't know. The old housekeeper only learned from Xiang Yang's words that Xiang You was very likely to be the child of Xiang Yang and Qingzhou God Hunting Yang Yeqing, because Xiang Yang occasionally talked about letting the child grow up and go to Yang Yeqing, since Xiang Yang died suddenly, the old housekeeper has always firmly believed that Xiang You and his mother must be recognized.

Because he has not been disciplined by his parents since he was a child, or he has been influenced by those Jianghu people. Xiang You didn't like to study and study since he was a child, dancing with knives and guns all day long, fantasizing that he was a famous hero and thief in the world, calling friends and causing trouble nearby.

Maybe it's because of Xiang Yang's kindness when he was alive, or maybe he sees them as just a group of ignorant children, and people just turn a blind eye to their naughty mischief. This made the young and ignorant Xiao Xiangyou even more unscrupulous, not stealing Li Yuanwai's belongings today to "rob the rich and help the poor". It is to "stand guard" for the widow's house tomorrow, and the beautiful name is called: the messenger of flowers.

This time, he was holding a folding fan and wearing a white outfit, not imitating Sun Wuliang, the "carefree son" who recently saved the beauty of the hero, but who was imitating.

"Brother Xiang, where are we going?" asked a slightly chubby boy in a white robe next to him.

"How many times have I told you, I'm 'Childe of Freedom' now, you have to call me Childe. "The white-robed boy is Xiang You, the little young master of the Xiang Mansion, and at this moment he is arrogantly reprimanding Wang Dafu of Mu Ne, "You are my subordinate, and you are also a very powerful character, called 'Thunderbolt' Duan Wu." ”

Wang Dafu is the son of the "Pork King" on Dahong Street, and he has been playing with Xiang You since he wore open crotch pants. Because his mind is not as flexible as Xiang You, he is often called by Xiang You.

Xiang You glanced at Wang Dafu deeply, put his right hand on his shoulder, and said seriously: "We are going to rescue Du Yinyin, the daughter of the master of Dulongmen, this time, even if I have to go to Longtan Tiger's Den." ”

"But who is Du Yinyin?" Wang Dafu was a little confused.

"Chen Huilan is Du Yinyin, her father won't let her come out now, I want to save her. I'm going to elope with her. ”

"But what about my sister? Didn't you just get married yesterday?" Wang Dafu was a little unhappy.

"Yes, your sister is now my concubine, don't you see that the city lord also has three wives and four concubines. 'Thunderbolt' you have to know that the more powerful the man, the more often he marries. ”

"Then I'm going to get married. ”

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to the king's widow's house to propose to you. ”

......

Chen Huilan's family has been in business for generations, and has been doing the business of silk and satin fabrics, and her family has a very strong background, and basically half of the fabric shops on Dahong Street are opened by her family. Now several storefronts in the north of the city are also in a hurry to renovate, and it is said that they will open before New Year's Day.

The Chen Mansion was only one street away from the Xiang Mansion, and they soon arrived at the Chen Mansion, and the two of them secretly walked around to the edge of the wall on the east side of the Chen Mansion.

Xiang You put the folding fan on his waist, stepped on Wang Dafu's shoulder, and suddenly turned into Chen's mansion, familiar with the road.

Although the interior of the Chen Mansion is gorgeous, the area is not as large as the Xiang Mansion. Xiang You turned left and right, and after a while, he came to the door of Chen Huilan's boudoir. Xiang You didn't knock on the door, but directly pushed open the door and stepped in.

In the boudoir, Chen Huilan was making a female celebrity, and when she heard someone coming in, she raised her bright eyes and glanced at it. When he saw that it was Xiang You, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly put down the work in his hand and ran over.

"Brother Xiang, why are you here?" The immature voice was like the chirping of a yellow warbler in the valley, pleasant to the ear.

Xiang You stepped forward and grabbed Chen Huilan's white and tender little hand, breathed a little heavily, and said, "From now on, don't call me Brother Xiang, I am now a 'free boy', and I am here to save you out." ”

Chen Huilan let the little boy in front of her grab her hand, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be a little worried: "But if my brother knows, he will beat you again." ”

The current big boss of the Chen family is Chen Huilan's father Chen Biao, and Chen Huilan also has an elder brother Chen Zhenye who is three years older than her. Not long ago, Xiang You secretly kissed Chen Huilan, but was bumped into by Chen Zhenye, and Xiang You was so frightened that he fled outside the city until it was dark.

Xiang You was stunned for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "Don't be afraid, this time is different." After rescuing you out, we will elope, and then find a paradise to worship and marry, and live a happy life. ”

Chen Huilan's black pearl-like eyes opened wide. After a few moments, he blinked a few more times, and looked very cute, "Really? We're going to find a place where no one can live together, so that none of them can find it?"

She wanted to tell him at the moment that she already knew about his marriage to Wang Mei yesterday. However, the anger after learning the news has been overshadowed by the excitement of the meeting, and now it seems that everything is so unimportant.

"Of course it's true, I'm not here to pick you up now!" Xiang You swore an oath.

"That's great. You wait for me, I'll go pack my things. There was a smile on the girl's fair little face, as if this was what she had always wanted.

Chen Huilan withdrew the hand Xiang You was holding, turned around and returned to the room. In a few moments, she came out with a small purple burden on her back.

Xiang You took Chen Huilan's hand, walked behind the door, put his face to the crack of the door, glanced at it, and then poked out a small head, glanced left and right, and did not see a single figure. Hurriedly opened the door and pulled Chen Huilan to the backyard door.

The backyard door is for the servants to buy vegetables and take out the garbage, and there is usually no one to guard the latch from the inside, but the two of them easily slipped out of everyone's eyes and ears.

The afternoon sun is very bright, and although the cold wind blows from time to time, you can still feel a hint of warmth. The two villains had already left the city gate, and Wang Dafu did not go with them, but returned to his home.

When parting, Xiang You told Wang Dafu not to tell others where they were going? Just tell them the legend that they had lovers and eventually became married, and Xiang You also offered Wang Dafu tomorrow as an exchange condition for keeping secrets.

In this regard, Wang Dafu responded very happily. I didn't think that after they eloped, why did they come back to propose marriage to him.
