The autumn wind swept up the leaves and ran on the streets of Bianliang City, and some of the leaves fell on the river beside the road, constantly pointing out slight ripples. Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng, who met by chance, chatted in the restaurant while looking at the couple on the road below.

A young scholar in a green robe, and a beautiful woman in white, walking side by side and talking softly, look like a young couple with great feelings. However, Yu Hezhong knew the scholar, so he also knew that the woman beside him was actually only a concubine.

Autumn is getting stronger, but the temperature has not cooled yet, and there are many pedestrians on the streets of Bianliang City. Seeing the couple at a glance, it was difficult to explain what Yu He was thinking in the center, he was chatting with Chen Sifeng, his thoughts were slightly interrupted, and the thought of "he is back" flashed, but then, he picked up the topic that Chen Sifeng was talking about.

Chen Sifeng also knew the scholars on the street, but for some reason, Yu Hezhong did not remind him. The two are childhood friends, but after coming to Bianliang, most of the contact that occurred was because of the teacher. At this time, both of them have started a family, and they both have a position as a petty official in Beijing, but they don't come and go frequently, and today is a chance meeting, but the topic of the two is also in the parents of the trivial and trivial turn, until the conversation is almost the same, no one will seem to mention it casually.

“…… It was already a little strange that she rejected Zhou Bangyan in the summer. ”

“…… It's not easy to guess the teacher's thoughts. ”

“…… Recently, there have been many people who have proposed marriage to her, but she has also refused, because she can't become a monk. ”

“…… It's not impossible. ”

The two shook their heads and sighed. Turning the topic away for a while, Chen Sifeng said: "She and Liheng have a different relationship. ”

"Liheng is too powerful, you and I can't participate in what we do, and it makes sense that the teacher will discuss with him if he has something."

"Do you think the master wants to marry him?"

Chen Sifeng's question was casual, and Yu Hezhong also smiled casually: "Although Liheng is powerful, between them." It doesn't look like it. ”

"Hmm. The lady in Liheng's family is very powerful. Chen Sifeng nodded.

"Huh?"

"It's the one named Su Tan'er, Liheng has been away from Beijing recently, and she helps take care of Zhuji's business, I heard people. She had a head-to-head exchange with Zuo Houwen. Someone finally stepped in. There was a draw on both sides. I don't know exactly how it happened, but then I dug up a lot of mess. ”

Chen Sifeng's official grade in Beijing is higher than that of Yu Hezhong, a small household official, and he has some insiders. I know more, and I shook my head at this time: "I heard that when Liheng and his wife came to the capital, Zuo Houwen suppressed the cloth shop in her family, and now it has only been a year, and the two sides can already fight directly, and it is when Liheng is not in Beijing." That woman, who doesn't look very old, is only the mother of a two-year-old child, but in fact she is really hard to mess with. ”

"In this way, if the master really wants to marry the Ning family, there will be a good show."

"As Brother Yu said, things are not like this, and I don't think the master will be so unwise."

When the two of them talked about this at this time, they were calm and indifferent, but only they knew how they felt after speaking. After a while, the two who got together by chance made an appointment to meet in the future, and then parted ways. Chen Sifeng left first, and only after he left, did Yu Hezhong go downstairs.

He sighed and walked all the way in the direction of the alum tower. There were all kinds of pedestrians on the side of the road, Ning Yi and his concubine Yunzhu who had seen it before, but they didn't know where they were going back at this time, Chen Sifeng didn't know where they went, and even he didn't know what he could do when he went to the alum tower.

A few days earlier, he found an opportunity, and he also asked his teacher for marriage. The original intention of opening his mouth was based on a moment of brain fever, and it was also an obsession in his heart for many years, but after he opened his mouth, he knew that there could be no positive answer to things. Shishi's refusal was very tactful, and he also took care of his affection, which was not very embarrassing, but ...... A qiē is gone with the autumn and never returns......

Over the years, from the former high-spirited, to the current family, married a wife, and had children, life is not very interesting, but fortunately, there are still teachers. He, Chen Sifeng and others accompanied her together, grew up together, gathered together, celebrated together, even if they got married, as long as there were such things, life would not be completely colorless. However, there is an end to a qiē.

With his boring wife and children, he couldn't find the feeling of being in Alum Tower, and most importantly, it was impossible to find the feeling of being by the side of his teacher. However, in the past two years, it has become more and more clear that the teacher has to marry after all. Once she leaves, everything will probably be gone.

At that time, where is the thing that can prove that you have saved zài before?

He stood outside the alum tower for a while, and when he raised his head slightly, there were cold raindrops falling on his face.

It's really cool......

**************

The autumn rain suddenly came, fell in Bianliang City, and it rained all night. The next morning, the rain clouds still obscured the sky, and the light in the city was dimmed a little. When Shi Shi came to the Ning Mansion, some of the rooms in the courtyard were still lit, and in the rain, the lights seemed moist and warm.

It was Su Tan'er who received her, as the eldest woman in the family, at first glance, she didn't give people too much sense of oppression. In terms of figure, she is slightly shorter than Yunzhu, with a plain woman's bun on her head, and an autumn green skirt decorated with flowers. Clasp your hands slightly together and place them on your legs. Generally speaking, if the hands are put together, it will have a feeling of rejection, but when they are placed separately, they will appear unguarded, a little soft, and even a little childish.

But Shishi still remembers that when he saw her the first few times, she was not like this. She was able to go to the Alum Tower to talk to Li's mother about business when Ning Yi was away, and she was not left behind at all, and she was able to control the power of Zhuji and Zuo Houwen in the midst of planning, and the teacher once saw her on the side of the stairs outside Daxing Temple when she went out of the city to pray for blessings, the woman squatted on the ground, stretched out a hand and let the child named Ning Xi run over, her figure was not rich, and in some places it seemed that she was no different from the girl's thinness, and her smile was warm and soft, but the teacher knew that this woman had strength in her body.

But at this point, she gathered all the qiē together. Maybe Ning Yi has already gone home...... I know what happened......

“…… Liheng rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, but there shouldn't be much to do today, and he will come back soon. Now it's raining heavily, so let's stay here and wait for him. ”

In the warm light and the autumn rain, Tan'er said this, and then let people serve refreshments......

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the study, Ning Yi met with Qin Siyuan, Yao Zunian, Ji Kun and others and said hello.

“…… The one named Luo Jinyan, after being imprisoned, committed suicide in fear of crime. Speaking of which, Liheng was really prescient to Qin Huizhi......"

The topic started with small talk, and after speaking, everyone's feelings were not necessarily high-pitched, and their faces showed complicated expressions, either silent or slightly sneering. After a while, Qin Siyuan laughed.

"No matter what, Liheng is finally back. Sit, sit, but a lot of things have accumulated, let's discuss it......"

The convoluted rain clouds have been stretching, crossing thousands of miles of land, to the south of this land, next to a small town called Qinkou, where the rain is falling, and yellow leaves are piled up all over the ground.

The blood flowed in the water, and it was immediately diluted. In the morning, on the long street in the rain, a figure with a burden stood there, facing the green sedan chair carried by four men at the end of the street.

The burden of being pulled behind the back with one hand is long, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and various weapons are exposed in it, and on the wall of the street not far away, there is a woman carrying a mandarin duck double knife, slowly walking over the earthen wall.

This is a stronghold of the Great Light Cult.

"Chen Fan." In the green sedan chair, the old woman's voice slowly pronounced the name, "You are really tired of living." ”

"Sikong Nan." In the rain, a man named Chen Fan faced the female grandmaster who had been famous in the rivers and lakes for decades, and opened his mouth with a smile, "As you said, people in the rivers and lakes are always a generation of new people burying the old. You may be mistaken, we husband and wife were not intercepted by you, this time we are here for you...... Avenge my master. ”

"Fang Qi Buddha ......" Sikong Nan said the name, "to avenge him, do you think your martial arts are enough?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Fan carried the burden and began to walk forward, "But you are already old, and I am still young...... I'm not going to give you a chance to die of old age. ”

Stepping through the flowing water, the atmosphere of slaughter has solidified in the surroundings. The clothes on Chen Fan's body had already been wet by the rain, but the figure under him was well-proportioned and strong, and every step he took looked more calm and firm. For a moment, he tilted his head.

"Oh, by the way, there's something I think I should tell you. Master sometimes mentions to me about taking over Manichaeism, and he doesn't usually talk about you, but if he has to mention it sometimes, I think he feels very strange about you. I think he likes you. This is a matter for your older generation, the Holy Father is gone, the Master is gone, and you are going to leave too, but before entering the earth, I still feel the need to sue you about this. ”

There was a moment of silence on the side of the green sedan chair.

"But now I feel that Master's taste is really not good. Because the last time I saw you, I wanted to say ...... Old woman, you're so ugly—"

The roar came out, and the moment the burden behind him was thrown forward, a figure pounced out of the green sedan chair: "Presumptuous-"

The cloth is unfurled, and the swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, whips, hammers, and ...... All kinds of weapons flew into the sky, Sikong Nan's figure cut through the rain curtain, rushed away the weapon, and in mid-air, it was like an extremely fierce claw trace of an ancient demon, whistling down!

Chen Fan had already rushed straight up, catching the first weapon that pounced in front of him, and the next moment, the offensive was like a furious tornado hurricane, colliding with Sikong Nan...... (To be continued......)
