Chapter 15 "Don't Dare to Recognize Each Other"
Zhuge Qinghong tried his best to stabilize his figure, and everyone once told him that the little girl who played with him was gone and might never come back.
I still remember that when he was only eight years old, he slapped the servant who told him this in the face, and his small hand was so strong that the corner of the mouth of the servant in his twenties was bloody.
This is the first time he has beaten a subordinate, and it is also the only time.
He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that the little girl who always loved to bully him just disappeared, and he didn't believe that the little girl who accompanied him with his mother to set off fireworks after her mother died and never came back.
He has been waiting, always looking, in the past ten years, he has walked through three mountains and five mountains, and has also broken through five / lakes / four / seas. Wherever he went, he would leave traces of his search for her.
At this moment he wanted to say to everyone, you see, isn't she back now? But he couldn't, he couldn't even recognize each other now, so he could only watch from afar.
As soon as I think of it, the end of the world is close at hand. God knows how hard it took him to suppress the urge to take the woman in front of him into his arms. But his intellect told him that now was not the time to recognize her, that he could not let people know her identity, that he wanted to protect her, and that he could no longer put her in danger.
Xiao Xinyi looked at those deep eyes and saw the turbulent waves that poured out layer by layer from the depths of his eyes. Ten years of life and death, just by looking at each other, she knew that he recognized her.
The light and shadow are like years, white clouds and dogs, but the two are no longer the partners who played hand in hand and frolicked together.
Zhuge Haochu noticed the abnormality of the eldest son beside him, and pulled his sleeve without a trace. When Zhuge Qinghong looked at him, he shook his head gently, Zhuge Qinghong didn't know what his father meant, but how could he be willing to bow his head.
But I am reluctant to bow my head, there are people from all over the world sitting in this room, with different thoughts, and no one can see the clues, after all, her current identity is still the daughter of a traitor, although Zhuge father and son know that she is not, and her father will not be a traitor.
But now they can only endure until the day when the truth is revealed.
The father and son didn't know that the abnormal behavior just now had been seen and remembered by someone with a heart.
Zhuge Qinghong bowed his head and said something to Zhuge Haochu, then walked out of the hall with Zhuge Qinglang, and his body paused slightly when he walked past Xiao Xinyi. But it was only a slight pause, and his eyes did not change, and he strode out.
It didn't take long for the hall to gradually become lively, martial arts people from all over the world arrived one after another, all kinds of gifts came one after another, flattery and greetings were also a set, Xiao Xinyi had not seen this kind of scene for many years, and he didn't want to see him again, he was a little irritable for a while, turned his head to look at Leng Moyan, and saw Leng Moyan with a pair of watery eyes looking at a certain place in the hall, his face was slightly red and a little shy, Xiao Xinyi was startled, and hurriedly followed Leng Moyan's eyes.
Seeing that the person Leng Moyan was looking at was Zhuge Qinghong, I don't know when he had changed into another set of light blue wide-sleeved straight-cardigan shirts, with a moon-white wavy metal belt around his waist, and a piece of fine mutton fat white jade hanging on it, the dust on his face had also been washed, and his hair was tied with a moon-white hairband on the top of his head, which made him even more lined with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, warm as jade.
At this time, Zhuge Qinghong was talking with several elders in the hall, his attitude was humble and polite, and he looked like he was humbly taught, and the old men who talked to him nodded again and again from time to time, as if they were very satisfied with what he said. From time to time, someone next to him accosted him, and Zhuge Qinghong also responded one by one, he has probably seen a lot of this kind of scene, he is not very old, but he can handle it easily in front of a group of seniors.
Xiao Xinyi no longer looked at the two of them, and lowered his head again to look at the ground in front of him, only hoping that this matter would end soon and that he could return to Ling Feng as soon as possible.
Zhuge Qinghong, who was in the distance, glanced at Xiao Xinyi while the elders were talking, and saw that she looked indifferent, lowering her head and not being moved by the things around her.
When she was young, Xiao Xinyi was lively and active, she liked to join in the fun the most, and she was the most intimate, and she would take care of everyone's emotions carefully, at that time she still had a prominent position in the rivers and lakes, with parents who loved her, and her brother who doted on her, but these were all gone overnight, from the pearl of the master of the martial arts alliance to a helpless orphan.
Zhuge Qinghong really wanted to ask her how a six-year-old girl escaped that catastrophe and how she spent so many years.
At this moment, there was a slight commotion at the door, and I saw the servants trotting all the way to the hall with a smile on their faces, and bowed to Zhuge Haochu and hurriedly said: "Master, the Li family is here, and now it has reached half of the ten thousand ladders, and it will be able to climb the mountain in less than a moment."
Zhuge Hao was shocked when he heard this: "You quickly bring twenty guards to pick them up." After the servant retreated, Zhuge Haochu called Zhuge Qinghong: "Yin'er, you go out with me to greet you."
Zhuge Qinghong couldn't see the expression on his face, so he followed Zhuge Haochu and walked towards the door, glanced at Xiao Xinyi, and saw that Xiao Xinyi was also looking at them curiously.
Zhuge Haochu and Zhuge Qinghong and Zhuge Qinglang's mother and son walked out of the hall first, and everyone naturally went out together, leaving only Xiao Xinyi, Leng Moyan and two white-haired old men in the hall.
The two old men had white hair. The old man in a cyan robe on the right is sitting upright on the chair, his eyes slightly closed, his hands in his sleeves, and he looks like he is letting the world be like rain, and his heart is as calm as water.
The other one is much more casual, wearing a set of dark colored robes, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, which makes people feel a little close at first glance. He was rubbing his knees with his hands. This section of the road under Zhuge Villa is indeed not easy for the elderly.
Leng Moyan looked out of the door curiously and said, "What is the identity of this person!" The Zhuge family valued it so much, and the whole family went to the door to greet them. ”
Xiao Xinyi was also secretly thinking about it, thinking about the famous characters she had seen in "Jianghu Biography" one by one, and she didn't expect that any Li family had such a great prestige, enough for Zhuge to go to the door to greet her, so she frowned and shook her head at Leng Moyan and said, "I don't know either." Maybe it's not a person in the rivers and lakes! ”
The old man in Xuanyi, who was sitting on the side, stopped rubbing his hands and said, "I'm afraid you two female dolls don't come out and walk around often, Brother Sima can watch you close enough, you have grown so big, I have never seen you two." Thinking about it, the old brother has been closed for decades, and the old man and him haven't seen each other for ten years, I don't know how the old brother's body is. ”
Xiao Xinyi and Leng Moyan heard the old man's tone as if he was the master's old man, and they didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so they saluted the old man and said, "Senior Lao, the master has always been well."
The old man stroked his beard and said: "This is very good, the old brother Xianfeng Dao bone has a way of health, not like me and other mortal people who are so embarrassed when they reach this age, when it returns to the mountain, I will definitely say hello to your master for my Yihe." He sighed and slammed his left knee with his hand.
It turned out that this old man in Xuanyi was Fang Yihe, the head of Vientiane Villa, proficient in the Xuanmen Bagua Array, and when he was young, he trapped hundreds of people in the Vientiane Array with the power of one person, and became famous in a battle. Then the Vientiane Mountain Villa was established. These are all things that Xiao Xinyi saw from the biography of the rivers and lakes that her senior brother gave her, but I don't know what kind of friendship this Fang Yihe has with her master.
Xiao Xinyi heard the words and looked at the old man's face carefully and said: "If the seniors are the words, the juniors will definitely bring them, and the juniors will see that the seniors have ruddy faces, breathing smoothly and smoothly, and their bodies are fine." The pain in your knee is probably caused by an injury you suffered in the early years and was not treated in time. ”
Fang Yihe nodded again and again when he heard this: "It is worthy of being taught by the Double Holy Sect, it is true, my knee was indeed injured ten years ago, and it was indeed not healed at that time, alas." As he spoke, he sighed again, as if he didn't want to continue, so he changed the subject: "Do you know who the Zhuge Alliance leader went out to greet?"
Leng Moyan was already wondering, but when she heard Fang Yihe say this, she replied, "Naturally, I don't know."
"Then the Li family is the family of Li Zejia, the great general of Yipin Town."
"What?" Leng Moyan couldn't help but exclaim, and looked at Xiao Xinyi face to face, when did this martial arts become so close to the imperial court?
Fang Yihe looked at the two of them with a shocked expression on his face and said with a faint expression: "This matter is a long story, Zhuge Qinghong, the eldest son of the Zhuge family, and Li Ze's youngest daughter have already paid their names to Naji a year ago."
