Speaking of this eagle tail, we have to start with her father Eagle Tail Takahiro. I mentioned to His Royal Highness before that Eagletail Takahiro is the bullet in the capital, and he is an extremely honest person. He is not only full of poetry and books, but also upright, although the official rank is not high, but the reputation is far and wide, and many powerful people are very jealous of him. ”

"Bullet is Shaobi...... What kind of official position is it? ”

"Oh, and the duty under your jurisdiction should be equal to that of your Imperial Observatory, which is to supervise and report misconduct or malfeasance among officials. In the country of Liuxia, it is called Danzhengtai, and Danzheng Shaobi is a deputy official. ”

"It turned out to be just a vice-minister...... but he was feared. ”

"Yes, it can be seen that he is selfless. Gao Guang was deeply influenced by my grandfather. ”

"Your grandfather?"

"Oh, her father was my grandfather's protégé, and since he was a student, my grandfather liked his clean and self-loving upright nature, and saw that his family was poor, so he often helped him, and recommended him to play the main stage after the palace examination."

"It turns out that there is such a relationship, so this Eagle Tail family has a good relationship with your Autumn Moon family, right?"

Qiu Yue smiled: "It's very good to talk about personal relationships, but this Eagle Tail Takahiro has never stepped into the Tsukushi Peninsula of the Autumn Moon Clan since he became the main stage." ”

"Why is that?"

"He said that since he is in the right place, he should fulfill his duties and abandon all personal relationships."

Zhu Zhitong frowned and said, "What a roundabout person." ”

"You think so too? I was still young at the time, and I only felt that this person had been favored by my family since he was young, and now he has become an important official in Beijing, so he turned his face and denied people, saying that he was pedantic or good, but in fact he was ruthless and unrighteous. It is rumored in the world that Jingzhong is the Lin clan's sphere of influence, and since this eagle tail is in Beijing, and he knows that the Lin clan and the Qiuyue clan are at odds, it is not difficult to understand that he turned the limelight and stood on the Lin clan's side. But my grandfather didn't think so. ”

"Oh? How your grandfather said. ”

"He said that Eagle-tail-kun broke off personal relations at this time, in order to protect the reputation of my Akizuki clan, the more ruthless he is, the less people will say in the future that the Akitsuki clan is favoritism and secretly supports his protégé on the Danzheng stage, so that he will fall into the handle. What's more, my Qiuyue clan has never done anything corrupt and perverted the law, and he is iron-faced and ruthless, which shows the innocence of my Qiuyue clan. ”

Zhu Zhitong couldn't help but nod.

"I've heard my mother talk about it since I was a child. She said that the ministers were always afraid that she would use the art of mindfulness to observe them, but if they did not have a ghost in their hearts, why should they be afraid of the art of mindfulness. An old minister like Lu Aweng can only be loyal after watching it, but he is trustworthy. This eagle's tail acts, in fact, this is the truth. ”

Qiu Yue smiled: "Sure enough, these truths are common to all nations. ”

The two of them were talking, and before they knew it, they had entered a mountain forest. The forest is full of green bamboos, the path is lonely, and where the wind passes, the green leaves become sounds.

Qiu Yue pointed to the distance, "Look, there's a tea shop over there, and we've been rowing for a long time and we've walked so much, so we might as well go sit down and rest and eat something." ”

Zhu Zhitong looked down, and sure enough, she saw a tea shop, and the smoke lingering on the side.

An old woman was busy in the shop, and when she saw the two, she beckoned them to sit down.

The old woman first brought two bowls of brown rice tea and a plate of melon seeds.

Qiu Yueshi smiled at the old woman and said, "We are strangers, if we have anything to eat, we will also bring some." ”

The old woman turned around and brought up two bowls. I saw that the soup in the bowl was clear and bright, and there were a few meatballs.

"...... this?"

"This is our snack here, called white jade balls, which are made of glutinous rice, wrapped in bean paste and stewed in sugar water, which is very delicious."

Zhu Zhitong said curiously: "Hey, why have I never heard of such snacks in Binzhou." ”

Qiu Yueshi smiled: "Binzhou is remote, and there are some things you haven't eaten." After speaking, he scooped a spoonful first, and praised while tasting it: "The entrance is soft, which is very good." ”

When the old woman saw him say hello, her face was happy, and she diligently served a plate of pine nuts and said, "Those two use it slowly, and the old body will not bother." ”

Zhu Zhitong watched the old woman go back to the stove again, and also tasted it, sure enough, it was a taste that she had never tasted, it was rare that it was sweet and suitable, and it was very measured.

"Where did you just go? Oh yes. This eagle-tailed Gao Guang is selfless and has broken off relations with your family? ”

"Yes, Washio handed me a letter that had broken off diplomatic relations with my father, and there was no more news. Until one day many years later, a young girl suddenly appeared in Akizuki Castle on the Tsukushi Peninsula. ”

"Autumn Moon City?"

"Oh, that's where my Akizuki clan lives in Tsukushi. My father was still alive at the time, and the girl had a letter saying that she was going to give it to my father in person. ”

"She's ......"

"Yes, she's the daughter of Washio Takahiro, Washio-Tail."

"It turns out that she has a single name."

"My father read the letter without saying a word, and left her in the city. At first, we were all very curious about what was going on, but then my father said that this was Gao Guang's daughter, because Gao Guang's wife had died, and he wanted to foster his daughter in Autumn Moon City. ”

"Didn't he all break off personal relations with your family? How to send my daughter again. ”

"According to my father, Gao Guang's letter mentioned that since he was appointed Shaobi, he has offended many powerful families in Beijing, although he himself has nothing to fear, but he is afraid that the daughter around him will be implicated and plotted, so he wants to send his daughter out of the capital and find a proper shelter. In fact, Gao Guang's wife is still young, although Gao Guang said in the letter that she died of a sudden illness, but my father guessed that the cause of death was not so simple, it should have been victimized, otherwise he would not have sent his daughter over in such a hurry. ”

Zhu Zhitong was silent.

She never understood her father's thoughts, she only knew that her mother doted on her and loved him since she was a child, and she was willing to be flexible in everything for her. She was frail when she was young, and when she was swaddling and crying a few times in the summer heat, her mother demolished all the sheltered palaces within a thousand steps in front of the palace, just so that she could bring in a few wisps of cool breeze. She likes to use stones to float by the lake in front of the palace, but she thinks that the surface of the stones is rough and not easy to use, so her mother has people pick jade stones and grind them into jade pieces for her to float. To this day, there are still countless jade pieces sunk at the bottom of the lake. Not only did her mother not care, but she also gave the word "Shenyu Lake" to show her elegance.

Mother said that her father left early, so she had to take good care of herself for her father.

Aren't all parents the same in the world?

But doesn't this man named Gao Guang love his wife and children? All he could do was watch his wife die, or send his daughter away?

She doesn't understand.

After the two finished eating a bowl of white jade balls, they got up and settled the bill and continued to walk. Zhu Zhitong grabbed a handful of pine nuts in her pocket and knocked them as she walked. She suddenly remembered a time when she hid in a basket with Yinhua to eat candied fruit, and looked at Su Xiaochen being surrounded by thieves, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Qiu Yueshi was already aware of her sighs these days, so she pulled back the words of Eagle Tail, so that she would not worry about Su Xiaochen in vain.

"Vulture Tail

Gao Guang also knew that sending his daughter at this time was quite contrary to the severance of friendship back then, so he said in the letter that as long as his daughter could be safe, it would be okay to change her surname and name from now on, and hoped that Qiuyue's family would have mercy. My father took the letter and looked at the girl's pitiful appearance, and couldn't help but feel compassion. So he let my mother enter the cabinet and became a maid, leaving only one name and hiding her surname. ”

"Incognito?"

"Yes, the women of my Liuxia Kingdom only have surnames for nobles and samurai, such as Ato and Akui, who are all children of the common people, and they only have names, not surnames. Eagletail has hidden his surname, and no one will be suspicious. ”

Suddenly, a complaint came from the bamboo forest.

"Your Highness, Ah Kui Zu is also a samurai, but he is poor, he even sold his sword, and he has no shame to call himself a samurai, so he can only bury his identity. Ah Kui's ancestor is surnamed Takada. ”

Qiu Yue laughed and said to the high place in the forest, "Oh? It turns out that you are a person with a family background, I don't even know. No wonder there were a few times when you peeped around when I was practicing martial arts, it turned out to be after the samurai. ”

The bamboo forest is as deep as the sea, and the wind sweeps the blue waves.

Qiu Yue saw that Ah Kui in the forest no longer spoke, and laughed to herself: "I must have been told about peeping and practicing martial arts, and I felt that it was a loss, so I didn't squeak." ”

Zhu Zhitong asked, "What?" When you practice martial arts, don't you allow people to watch it? ”

"It doesn't hurt if I use a bamboo knife when I practice knives, not only can I see them, but I also teach them knife techniques from time to time. But if I use this spirit knife, I can't. ”

"Why is that?"

"Spirit Knife Desolate Eagle, once it comes out of the sheath, it will drink human blood, even if I use the spirit knife to practice, most of it will not be out of the sheath."

"So Ah Kui peeped a few times, and you pretended not to see it?"

Qiu Yue smiled and did not speak.

Zhu Zhitong had never heard of such a spirit knife, and her curiosity was great, and she asked again: "Then you really never been seen when you came out of the sheath to practice the knife?" ”

"Actually...... There was a man who had seen it. ”

"Who?"

"Washio-tail."

"She? She spies on you practicing martial arts? Don't you notice? As soon as Zhu Zhitong's words fell, she suddenly remembered the ghostly figure of the eagle tail.

If you want to be unnoticed, what is the difficulty for her?

"That day I practiced my sword at night. Knife training pays attention to concentration and concentration, so the breath of ordinary people within a radius of twenty steps can't hide from me. Eagle-tailed Hotaru was able to crouch on the cherry blossom tree by the wall without me noticing, and if I hadn't happened to catch the petals that fell on her body when I swung my sword, I really couldn't tell that the trunk was made by her disguise. ”

"Disguised as a tree trunk? This is the Concealment Technique, and the Eagle Tail is really proficient in the Five Elements Technique! Zhu Zhitong had only heard Yinhua mention the Concealment Technique before, but Yinhua said that she was not pure enough to teach herself.

"Yes, the Concealment Technique is a secret technique in the Fog Hidden Stream, and the Fog Hidden Flow is the organization of the Lin Clan. So I thought it was an assassin sent by the Lin clan, and immediately unsheathed the knife and prepared to kill this voyeur. ”

"You...... Did it hurt her? ”

Qiu Yue shook her head, "No, the figure of the eagle tail is very fast, and he dodged three moves under my knife. ”

Zhu Zhitong stuck out her tongue...... Listening to this, she didn't get past your fourth trick.

"I've seen Eagletail in my grandmother's pavilion, so when I lifted her veil with the tip of my knife in the fourth move, I was surprised how it could be her."

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Yue suddenly waved her hand and motioned for Zhu Zhitong to stop first.
