CHAPTER XLII. City Lord: This is ...... Jealous?

After laughing, Lu Xiaofeng took out an object from his arms and threw it to Jun Xuan.

"That, Aunt Xiaodao's birthday, I don't have anything too good, this is a whip made of fire python skin that I hunted when I was young, although you use a sword, but the world's martial arts are all one, this thing is also light, in case you are unsung that day, this can be regarded as a weapon to resist."

Lu Xiaofeng said very lightly, but in fact, the fire python is a rare spiritual creature in a hundred years, it only grows in southern Xinjiang, it feeds on people, and it is extremely fierce. The skin of the fire python is extremely tough, and the sword cannot break it. And the fire python skin also has the miraculous effect of keeping out the cold, as long as you carry a small piece of it when you count nine cold days, your whole body will be warm.

The one that Lu Xiaofeng met back then was also killed by him after nine deaths. After stripping the snake skin, Lu Xiaofeng asked his friend Zhu Zhu, the boss of Miaoshou, to make a whip, which was a little different from ordinary whips, wrapped around the arm and fitting very well, even if he was wearing a light summer shirt, there was no trace.

He has been carefully collecting this fire python whip, but now he has given it to Jun Xuan. Lu Xiaofeng is an old man, he knows that Jun Xuan's swordsmanship is exquisite, but the rivers and lakes are unpredictable, and this little girl is always on the edge of danger, if someone really wants to deal with her, it will be very bad to get off her sword.

Lu Xiaofeng gave Jun Xuan this whip, which also meant to "keep a hand" for her in case of accidents.

Jun Xuan raised his hand to take the whip thrown by Lu Xiaofeng, and looked at it in his hand curiously for a long time, as if he didn't know how to use it. When Lu Xiaofeng saw it, he dragged Jun Xuan over, wiped her sleeve up, and helped her wrap it around her arm in three strokes.

Lu Xiaofeng's movements were too fast, and Lu Xiaofeng himself only regarded Jun Xuan as a yellow-haired girl, and he didn't have any concept of male and female defense, so even he barely felt anything wrong.

The reason why it is almost ...... It was because Ye Gucheng's cold gaze was so suspicious that Lu Xiaofeng suddenly let go of his hand and instantly retreated to a place five steps away from Jun Xuan.

Xue Bing's gaze flickered back and forth between the three of them, and he couldn't help but smile at Ye Gucheng a little narrowly.

Approaching Jun Xuan's side, she also took out a plain white long silk, which looked pure white, but it was embroidered with silver thread to create a delicate cloud pattern.

She wrapped her arms around Jun Xuan's waist to help her tie it, and said: "Xuan Xuan, I see that you have a lot of white clothes, and my grandmother specially helped you make this, this long silk is mixed with gold-veined snow silk, invulnerable, invulnerable, invulnerable, can be used as a weapon, and it dances beautifully, much more practical than Lu Xiaofeng's whip or something." ”

Saying that, Xue Bing also deliberately glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, his eyes full of provocation.

can't always worry about a little girl, in the face of Xue Bing's provocation, Lu Xiaofeng could only touch his beard and smile helplessly.

Ye Gucheng was very sure that Xue Bing was a girl, and he also knew that it was rare for his junior sister to have a close friend of a similar age. However, looking at the girl who always wanted to pounce on her little junior sister, Ye Gucheng's brows couldn't help but want to wrinkle.

Stretching out his hand to pull Jun Xuan to the side, Ye Gucheng bowed slightly to Xue Bing and said, "Miss Xue has a heart." ”

If the castle lord's face hadn't been so cold, perhaps this thank you would have been more sincere.

Xue Bing may not have seen many men, but he knows that there is only one situation that can make a man show such a forbearant and aggrieved look, and that is...... He! Eat! Vinegar! Finish!

I secretly felt funny in my heart, but Xue Bing accepted it when he saw it - after all, the Baiyun City Lord was not a person who could be manipulated. Xue Bing quickly reached out and pinched Jun Xuan's silky little face, and then retreated behind Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou.

Hua Manlou couldn't see Ye Gucheng's face, but felt the cold air he emanated. "Looking" at the girl hiding behind him and Lu Xiaofeng, he walked in front of Jun Xuan.

Stretching out his hand to hand Jun Xuan a rosewood box, Hua Manlou said softly: "This is the poison-avoiding bead obtained by the fifth brother in the Western Regions in the early years, and later he used the prescription of the divine doctor to boil and dip it in nine times. Ordinary □□ anesthetic aphrodisnic...... Ahem, in short, the anti-poison effect is very good. The little aunt walks the rivers and lakes, only with self-defense. If it is really plotted by the villains, crushing and swallowing it can also alleviate the toxicity. ”

After Hua Manlou became blind, several brothers of the Hua family searched for self-protection for him, and this drug avoidance bead was the hardest to obtain. Hua Manlou thought that Jun Xuan was always more dangerous than him as a man in the rivers and lakes, so after discussing it with the fifth brother, he transferred this thing.

Jun Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and refused to accept it.

"Qitong is also a Jianghu person." The little girl was just a simple sentence, but her face was firm and undeniable. People and people's emotions are mutual, even though Jun Xuan is cold by nature, he is not a heartless person. She is grateful to the Hua family for her protection, and Hua Manlou is blind, and obviously needs this poison avoidance bead.

Hua Manlou has always been gentle, but this time he was very tough and hung the well-wounded anti-drug beads on Jun Xuan's waist.

Lu Xiaofeng also said on the side: "Aunt Xiaodao, you can accept your nephew's wishes, how can any poison in the world escape Hua Manlou's nose?" ”

couldn't refuse, Jun Xuan bit her lip, and finally thanked her and accepted the thing. It's just that she secretly decided in her heart to find a better way to avoid drugs for Qitong.

At this time, Simon Fuxue, who had been silent and watching them laugh, also came over. Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him and quipped: "I said Ximen, if you also give Xiaodao Gu a gift, you have to hurry up, the meal will be opened in a while." ”

Ximen Fuxue raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, but just picked up a long box from the table and handed it to Jun Xuan.

"Soft sword. It is not difficult to get started. "Simon Fuxue has always been silent, and there are not many words this time.

The long box was opened, and inside was a soft sword no more than two feet long. The soft sword was snow-white and silky. However, it only takes a breath of internal force to make the seemingly soft short sword as tough as steel.

Ximen Fuxue, Lu Xiaofeng, Xue Bing and Hua Manlou did not discuss what gift to give Jun Xuan, but they all chose concealed and lightweight weapons or self-defense. They knew that Jun Xuan had entered the rivers and lakes, and they were both Jianghu people, so they could only try their best to help Jun Xuan protect himself - they couldn't persuade Jun Xuan to stay away from the rivers and lakes, so only the more things this little girl held in her hands, the more at ease their relatives and friends could be.

The people present each gave Jun Xuan gifts, but Ye Gucheng had not yet moved. In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng was dressed in white, carrying two long swords behind him. The people present could recognize it except for Hua Manlou, among the two swords, one was Ye Gucheng's black sheath long sword, and the other sword belonged to Jun Xuan.

He walked in front of Jun Xuan, leaned over and hung a snow-white jade pendant for her. I don't know what kind of material the jade pendant is, but there is a natural formation cloud pattern with a fiery red body in the middle.

Ye Gucheng raised his hand and stroked the bead hairpin between Jun Xuan's hair, and said, "This is the key to the inner library of Baiyun City. Then, he held up the jade pendant on Jun Xuan's waist and said, "This is the order of the city lord of Baiyun City." ”

Everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath.

In the silence, Ye Gucheng's voice was suddenly mixed with an indissoluble tenderness. He gently stroked the little girl's face, and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, you are willing to hire her?" ”

Jun Xuan looked at Ye Gucheng in a daze, and only laughed after a while. She stretched out her hand and wrapped her arms around Ye Gucheng's neck, leaned into his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Didn't Senior Brother say that you want to wait for me to grow up?" There was three points of anger in his tone, but it was a rare little daughter's delicateness.

Ye Gucheng hooked the corners of his mouth and wrapped the little girl tighter.

At this time, Taiyin Zhenren pushed the door in, glanced at the two apprentices who were hugging each other, she rolled her eyes, and then said to the rest of the people: "Let's go, the children are hungry all morning, right?" Let's go eat. ”

The elders urged, and everyone didn't delay any longer, and went to the back hall of Lingyun Temple with Taiyin Zhenren to eat.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was Jun Xuan's birthday, and everyone's interest was very high. Even though there are three natural air conditioners of Jun Xuan, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow, but with Lu Xiaofeng and several sons of the Hua family here, the atmosphere in the back hall is still very warm, and there are often happy laughter of men and women.

When the feast was full, there was a knock on the door of the back hall. The two little Taoist boys went to open the door, and saw a team of people carrying more than 80 mahogany boxes. They didn't enter the back hall, but stopped in the courtyard of Lingyunguan. When the men placed eighty mahogany chests on the ground, they heard a female voice coming from the group.

"Ouyang Qing obeyed the master's order, and presented 800,000 taels of silver stolen by the embroidery thief, and congratulated the girl Fangchen from afar."

As she spoke, she saw a woman dressed in red bowing to Jun Xuan Yingying outside the back hall, and the man who came with her also knelt down on her knees and said in unison: "I wish Miss Jun a happy birthday." ”

Jun Xuan frowned slightly, but still walked outside the back hall. Her gaze swept over the mahogany boxes in the courtyard, and said to Ouyang Qing, "You are not a person with red shoes?" ”

Ouyang Qing saluted Jun Xuan again, and said with a soft smile: "The master of the maid has someone else, and the girl will know it in the future." After a pause, Ouyang Qing continued to Jun Xuan: "Speaking of which, the servant still needs to thank the Baiyun City Lord for not killing that day. ”

Jun Xuan bowed slightly, and really didn't delve into it anymore. She only said to Ouyang Qing: "Thank you for me, your master." ”

Ouyang Qing said: "My master said that he is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and Miss Jun doesn't have to worry about it." With that, she made a gesture and quickly withdrew with the group of men.

Jun Xuan didn't stop her, because she saw the figure that had just appeared with Ouyang Qing. It was a woman in a cyan robe, with a plain body, only a purple jade hairpin stuck on her head.

The person who came turned out to be Jiang Qingxia. She looked thinner than a few days ago, but there was an inexplicable ease in her demeanor. She gave Jun Xuan a salute, and said as if she had seen her for the first time, "Jun Daoyou." ”

Jun Xuan also returned a salute.

Jiang Qingxia did not enter the Lingyun Temple, but stood far away from the Lingyun Temple. She just whispered, "Jun Daoyou's birthday is happy." Then he said nothing else, and turned away.

Jun Xuan was a little inexplicable, but he heard Lu Xiaofeng who came out of her say: "She was poisoned by Jin Jiuling and needs to take the antidote regularly." After Jin Jiuling was arrested, I went through his residence. The antidote he left behind was only enough for Jiang Qingxia to live for three years. Now that she has left the red shoes, and time is short, she has left Bixia Nunnery, and wants to accompany Jiang Chongwei to live a dull life. ”

With a hint of emotion, Lu Xiaofeng continued: "I also learned later that Jiang Chongwei is not her brother, but her fiancé. There were some things that happened before the two of them couldn't be together, but now, those don't matter. ”

As she spoke, Lu Xiaofeng reached out and patted Jun Xuan on the shoulder, as if she wanted to say something to her with a lot of emotion, but in the end she didn't say anything. With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Xiaofeng shouted again: "Okay, okay, you got so much silver, why don't you hurry up and invite me to drink two more cups?" ”

Jun Xuan turned around with Lu Xiaofeng, but his eyes fell on the man in white sitting in the middle of the hall. Ye Gucheng's gaze never left Jun Xuan, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, the two raised their eyes to stare at each other, and finally burst into a smile that only each other knew.

Thankfully, they never wanted to let go of each other. It's a lucky thing to be able to get to know each other along the way.
