Zhou Huanchun frowned and said: "Only the parties concerned know the origin of this matter, we still don't have to speculate, and we can't spread rumors and cause trouble." ”

Nian Nian nodded and said, "I will keep Miss's teachings in mind." ”

At the same time, there was a soft knock on the door of "Xi Luxuan".

Nian Nian glanced at the wooden bell, patted his head and said, "My ancestor mother, hey!" Fang Niannian and Miss patronized and talked, forgetting that so much time had passed, and I hadn't had time to collect the dishes and chopsticks? ”

Then she looked suspicious again, tilted her head and said to herself: "'Xi Luxuan' has always been uncared for, who will visit late at night?" ”

Zhou Huanchun was also puzzled, and said to Nian Nian: "Just go and see, that person is not a ghost, are you still afraid that he will eat you?" ”

Zhou Huanchun and Nian Nian left the table before and after and walked towards the gate of "Xi Luxuan".

Nian Nian stood in front of the door and deliberately raised her voice and asked, "Who is visiting late at night?" ”

Zhou Huanchun looked at Zhuo Yue's figure through the door, and had an answer in her heart.

I saw that the person who came said softly without hurrying: "I am Qin Yiyi." ”

As soon as Nian Nian heard this, he hurriedly opened the door of the room, and said with a smile to Qin Yiyi: "It turned out to be Miss Yiyi, please come in quickly!" ”

Qin Tiyi combed a hanging bun, dressed in a bauhinia-colored robe, and walked into the room with a carved lotus burgundy wooden box in his hand.

She nodded to Nian Nian, indicating that she had seen it, and smiled at Zhou Huan Chun.

She walked to the table in the outer hall, opened the wooden box, took out the pastries in the wooden box and put them on the table, opened her pink lips lightly, and said softly: "This is the lotus root cake I just made today, part of it has been left to me, my cousin, and Aunt Rou, and part of it was given to Sister Huan, thank Sister Huan for her help to us yesterday, I hope Sister Huan will not refuse." ”

Seeing Nian Nian's covetous look at the lotus root cake, Zhou Huanchun said helplessly: "Since it is the intention of my cousin who is tired of clothes, I must taste my sister's craftsmanship!" ”

She said to Nian Nian: "Nian Nian, you can bring the lotus root cake down first, I have eaten a lot for dinner, and I don't need to eat supper now." ”

"The little maid knows."

Thinking of the blessing of the body, he picked up the lotus root cake and withdrew.

Zhou Huanchun made a gesture of invitation to Qin Tiyi, and Qin Tiyi immediately understood, brushed his clothes and sat upright, showing his elegant posture between his gestures.

Zhou Huanchun took the lead in speaking: "Today, the second brother has received a lot of test items, what is the situation after the second brother returns to the 'Luoxiang Pavilion'?" ”

Qin Tiyi shook his head and said worriedly, "Cousin is tired today!" After returning to the 'Luoxiang Pavilion', I didn't even need dinner, so I went to the room to sleep with my head covered! ”

Zhou Huanchun comforted: "After receiving such frequent physical strength tests, ordinary people will feel tired and tired, and they will not get in the way after resting. ”

Then she asked with concern, "Has Aunt Rou's condition improved?" ”

Qin Tiyi nodded and said, "Aunt Rou's complexion is much better than yesterday, Sister Huan doesn't have to worry." ”

Although Qin Tiyi said words of relief, her eyebrows were still worried.

Zhou Huanchun's eyes were like torches, she looked at Qin Tiyi for a moment, and asked, "Cousin Tiyi visited late at night today, there should be more important things besides giving snacks, right!" ”

Qin Tiyi smiled with relief: "Sister Huan is direct, if I continue to hide it, it will seem that my strength is narrow, and I might as well get straight to the point." ”

"Xiaomei does have a doubt in her heart."

"Today's visit is to hope that Sister Huan can answer for me."

Qin Tiyi looked at Zhou Huanchun without evasion, and asked: "Little sister doesn't doubt Sister Huan's promise to let her cousin defeat Zhou Jinmu within seven days, but I don't understand why Sister Huan wants to borrow her cousin's hand to defeat Zhou Jinmu?" ”

Without waiting for Zhou Huanchun to answer, Qin Tiyi continued: "Zhou Jinmu acts high-flying, fierce and fierce, if my cousin loses, it will just be humiliated by him again, if I win, I am afraid that Zhou Jinmu will hold a grudge from now on, rely on the power of "Yu Lixuan", and carry out crazy revenge on his cousin, so that my cousin will never have peace in the future." ”

Zhou Huanchun nodded approvingly, and said unhurriedly: "What my cousin said is not unreasonable. ”

"Although it is said that in life, suffering losses is a blessing, but in the General's Mansion, can't my cousin deeply understand the meaning of the sentence 'people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts'?"

"Even if my cousin doesn't respond to Zhou Jinmu's humiliation and swallows his anger, can he get rid of Zhou Jinmu's entanglement?"

Zhou Huanchun snorted coldly and said indignantly: "Zhou Jinmu will only intensify and bully others more unscrupulously!" ”

"As for the reason why I didn't come forward to defeat Zhou Jinmu myself, it was - I can be the one who secretly helps the second brother, but the second brother can't be the one who secretly helps me."

"Let the second brother take the lead, even if he has to face Zhou Jinmu's revenge later, I can take this opportunity to master more of Zhou Jinmu's hole cards, and I will also guarantee the safety of the second brother."

Qin Tiyi hit the nail on the head and said: "In this way, will there be a chance to see the duel between Sister Huan and Zhou Jinmu in the future?" ”

Zhou Huanchun said affirmatively: "However, the reason why I want to deal with Zhou Jinmu is indeed not selfless. “

"His martial arts cultivation is quite prestigious in the General's Mansion, and I have been silent for thirteen years."

"Now that I have recovered, I should also use Zhou Jinmu to correct my name."

Qin Tiyi said thoughtfully: "Zhou Jinmu has been in the General's Mansion for more than ten years, he has been a person who has been bullied by him, he has been swallowing his anger for more than ten years, he is a person who is unwilling to grovel to meet him, and he has been short of breath and frustrated for more than ten years. ”

"If you want to use him as a stepping stone, won't you be afraid?"

"Are you sure to face the revenge from Zhou Jinmu?"

Zhou Huanchun stood with his hands in his hands and said confidently: "I just proved that I am more capable than him, if he is jealous because of this, and thus persecutes me, it can only prove that his own heart is not right, and he is no one else." ”

"I dare to take the initiative to challenge Zhou Jinmu, and after that, whether it is a cold knife and a secret arrow against him, or a righteous and bright life-and-death duel, I will not refuse, accept all the orders, and return them twice!"

When Qin Tiyi heard this, he couldn't help but admire Zhou Huanchun.

She owed Zhou Huanchun a blessing, her lips opened the orchid fragrance, and said softly: "Sister Huan is so insistent, I can't persuade anymore, I have to wish my sister to get what she wants, it's not too early, please rest my sister as soon as possible, and retire when she is tired." ”

As soon as Qin Tiyi got up, Zhou Huanchun raised his hand and said, "Before leaving, I also have something to ask Sister Tiyi." ”

She immediately turned around, lowered her eyes, and said meekly and softly: "Sister Huan, please ask, I must know everything." ”

Zhou Huanchun didn't drag the mud and water, beat around the bush, and asked: "I don't know how much my little sister weighs?" ”

Qin Tiyi froze in place, completely unable to keep up with Zhou Huanchun's jumping thinking, and didn't understand why Zhou Huanchun asked this question without a beginning or a tail, and fell into hesitation for a while.

Zhou Huanchun seemed to have expected this scene, she walked to Qin Tiyi's side, leaned down and said to her: "After testing, the second brother can lift up to 100 catties to 150 catties of items, if the weight of the tired sister is too much, the second brother will not be able to hold the younger sister!" ”

Qin Tiyi's cheeks flushed, and he hurriedly shook his head and explained: "I don't have anything to do with my cousin, Sister Huan can't be misunderstood!" ”

After speaking, Qin Tiyi snatched the door out, his skirt flew, and he trotted without a trace, disappearing into the vast night.

After Qin Tiyi ran for a while, she gradually calmed herself, she walked in the garden, thinking about the conversation between Fang Cai and Zhou Huanchun as she walked.

"People don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger harms people's hearts"?

Who are the people in this high-walled and deep courtyard? Who is the Tiger?

Who is the beast that lurks in the shadows and peeps at its prey?

Who is the beast that swaggers around in human skin to lure its prey?

Qin Tiyi looked at the general's mansion that was calm in the night, like a mirror lake.

A thought couldn't help but arise in my mind, perhaps, tonight, it was one of the few peaceful nights left in the General's Mansion.

The duel between Sister Huan and Zhou Jinmu?

It will surely become the most anticipated showdown in the General's Mansion since the beginning of the year!

In the "Xi Luxuan" on the other side, the lights are still on, and the people in the room are not the slightest tired.

Nian Nian knelt in front of the bookcase, took the notebook and turned the brush, and asked, "After today's test, does the young lady have a plan for training Young Master Lingmo?" ”

Zhou Huanchun said confidently: "Nonsense, otherwise I will let you do what with paper and pen?" ”

Zhou Huanchun said to Nian Nian while sorting out her thoughts: "Judging from the results of today's test, the second brother's advantage over Zhou Jinmu is not in strength or speed, but in terms of accuracy, I will personally tell the second brother about the tactics of the duel with Zhou Jinmu." ”

"Your task is to write down the training content for tactics and supervise the completion of the training content."

Nian Nian patted her chest with her little white hand, puffed out her face, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is wrapped up in me!" Miss, just put your heart in your stomach! ”

Zhou Huanchun nodded with a smile, and said: "The first item, run three laps around Yuzhiyuan every day, and the time to complete the race cannot exceed one hour. ”

"The second item is to practice skating bamboo poles 100 times a day."

"In the afternoon, I will go to Yuzhi Garden to teach the second brother the internal strength of the heart method and the gun style."

Nian Nian wrote down the main points of Zhou Huanchun's words word for word in the notebook, and then bit the pen suspiciously and asked, "Miss taught the second young master the internal strength of the mind and the gun style?" Then who taught the young lady the internal skills and gun style? ”

Zhou Huanchun put on an expression that I just like what you can't guess and can't do to me, and said to her categorically: "This is a secret!" ”

Nian Nian pursed her lips and muttered, "My ancestor mother, hey! Who loves to sell Guanzi the most? Hum! Hum! Hum! ”

On that day, the light rain gently touched the willows, and the earth was full of life.

However, this rain of rejuvenation could not save the person who had fallen into the mud, but only pushed him deeper into filth and darkness.

In a haze, I saw several burly men in gray-white caftan brown holding oil-paper umbrellas, clustering around the golden-crowned and red-robed young man sitting in the middle.

The cloth-clothed man was covered in mud, his face was full of color, his body knelt down, slammed his head on the ground, and begged bitterly with a miserable face: "Please let the second young master let go of the villain!" The villain is just a little young man of 'Yu Li Xuan', if he loses his right hand today, how will he carry water, cook, share worries, and relieve labor for the third young master in the future!"

Zhou Jinmu, who was seated, raised his eyebrows and sneered disappreciatively: "What worries can such a weak strength share for me, and what can I solve?" ”

"Isn't it up to your left hand to do the work of the housekeeper? Anyway, you can do things with two hands as efficiently as one! ”

"What's the use of the other hand?"

Zhou Jinmu had a gloomy face and was very displeased.

The guard standing in the front row picked up the note on the waist-length burgundy wooden table in front of the cloth-clothed man, and shook it in front of the cloth-clothed man's eyes, regardless of whether he saw it or not, he pulled his throat and said in a rough voice: "The battle book is clearly written, Ji Xiaoheng and Scar duel, the loser will cut off his palm, and no one will be in particular, and complete the content of the gambling contract within the hour, if there is a breach of the contract, the content of the gambling contract will be enforced by the guard." ”
