Not long after Jiang Xiaobai left, Gu Feng turned back into the side hall, only to see that his brows were tightly knit and there seemed to be some worry: "Lord Wang, this Jiang Xiaobai dares to use your appreciation as capital to raise conditions, such a frivolous person can really be the head of the White Tiger Ya?" ”

The third prince smiled after hearing this, but asked rhetorically, "Gu Feng, do you think that's frivolous?" ”

Gu Feng was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he still didn't understand the meaning of the third prince's words, so he nodded.

Seeing that the third prince smiled even more happily, he said, "Gu Feng... You are good at everything, but you are too restrained in front of this king. After that, he stroked the sideburns under his chin and smiled, "This king thinks that he is not only competent, but also very good." ”

The conversation between the third prince and Gu Feng, Jiang Xiaobai naturally did not know. After staying in the dark and damp prison in Yuejing Mansion for a few days, his body was already sloppy, and after bathing, he changed into neat clothes and shaved his face clean, so he had a little bit of the appearance of a teenager who was an eighteen-year-old man, although he was not white or even a little black, but his facial features were exquisite.

....

In the evening, the lights are on.

There are many houses in Yuexiu Pavilion, and there are nine corridors, if it weren't for the fact that there are subordinates to lead the way, Jiang Xiaobai feels that he is very likely to get lost here.

In this bustling and extremely prosperous city of Yuejing, it is not easy to have a wide and extremely quiet elegant garden.

But for a prince and a noble relative like the third prince, it is nothing. Compared with the dignified majesty of the prince's mansion, the guests in this quiet and elegant Yuexiu Pavilion are more easy-going and private, which makes Jiang Xiaobai even more curious about who will rescue him from prison.

After a while, Jiang Xiaobai had already followed his subordinates to the main hall. In general with the elegant style of Yuexiu Pavilion, there are not many gold and silver utensils in the main hall, and all the paintings are feathered flowers or landscape figures. On the left and right sides of the hall are placed four Nanmu cases, as soon as you enter the door, you can smell a faint Nanmu fragrance filling the tip of the nose, and the food plates and tableware placed on the case are also porcelain, showing the elegant style everywhere.

When everyone was seated, the maids and maids presented melons, fruits, wine and food, and the piano master and dancer also began to perform.

There are only five people sitting in the hall, and the third prince who is the owner of this Yuexiu Pavilion is naturally on the main seat, and Gu Feng is sitting on the first case on the left, and below him is Jiang Xiaobai, who is enjoying the performance of the dancers with a smile.

On the first case on the right is a woman, dressed in a white brocade dress, with long hair and a shawl like flowing clouds, revealing a faint sense of dust between her gestures. At the head of this woman is a young man of the same age as Jiang Xiaobai, with his hair tied and dressed in a black brocade robe, but he has a face on his face that makes it difficult to see his face.

After the dance and music stopped, and the piano master and dancer left the stage, the third prince raised the wine cup in his hand and signaled to everyone, and then smiled at the woman: "Master Ren, I heard that you are going to return to Shuchuan tomorrow, and set up a banquet tonight, and the bento will be practiced by this king for you." ”

"The third prince is polite." The woman smiled, got up and drank the wine in the cup, and said, "The concubine is grateful." ”

"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes don't let the women shave their eyebrows, good, good!" The third prince laughed indulgently, and after taking a sip of the wine, he introduced to Jiang Xiaobai, "Jiang Xiaobai, this king is talking about the owner of Jingxue Mountain Villa. ”

Although Jiang Xiaobai didn't have any expression on his face when he heard this, he was shocked in his heart. Unexpectedly, it would be Ren Jing, the owner of Jingxue Mountain Villa, a famous family in Shuchuan, who rescued himself from the prison!

This is a powerful man in the rivers and lakes, Jiang Xiaobai has heard more than once in Qin Yue about the prestige deeds of this owner in the rivers and lakes. I thought that the owner of Ren who could have a supreme reputation in the rivers and lakes would be an old woman who was over half a hundred years old, but she was such a beautiful woman with a dusty temperament.

First the third prince and then Ren Jing, Rao is Jiang Xiaobai is stable by nature, today's events really flattered him, and he hurriedly got up and raised his lamp to thank him: "Thank you Ren Zhuang Master!" ”

Ren Jing smiled faintly, but she didn't say anything, just raised her lamp and signaled.

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, this owner of the village rescued him, but he didn't have anything to say to him? Although I don't understand it in my heart, but out of etiquette and occasion, this kind of thing naturally can't be asked. He buried his doubts in his heart and drank all the wine in the cup.

At this time, I heard the third prince speak: "Ren Zhuang master, Guizhuang has been a friend of the court for many years, and has also helped the court a lot and solved a lot of worries. Now the evil faction is rampant and causing chaos everywhere, making the people panic, and I don't know if the owner of the village can come forward to solve the problems on the rivers and lakes for the imperial court. ”

The corners of Jiang Xiaobai's eyebrows moved, and the words of the third prince were probably the real purpose of tonight's banquet. Thinking of the arrest of the people who drank Yuelou by the Criminal Health Department encountered some time ago, this turmoil in the rivers and lakes caused by the rumors of the twelve coffins has already been valued by the imperial court, and it has also made the imperial court feel tricky. And a person with the status of the third prince of Gui also made a request in a tone of request, which shows that the saying "Yue Guo makes a living from martial arts" is true, and the proportion of Jianghu forces in Yue may be much stronger than he imagined.

Let Jing Yingying reply: "It's not a secret, Honzhuang's own father has rarely been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes since he traveled all over the world. The husband left home, and now he is nowhere to be found, and the things on the rivers and lakes, the concubine is only afraid that she is powerless... Please also forgive the three princes. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai admired this owner very much. It is a very embarrassing thing for a woman to look down on her husband, but Ren Jing can say it in front of everyone, and always maintains a smile and appearance, this kind of dignified and elegant is by no means comparable to ordinary women.

"It's okay, it's okay." The third prince smiled and said, "It's also this king who is presumptuous, come, everyone drinks." ”

After that, there was a lot of chatting, and the chats were all ordinary words about the mountains and rivers. Gu Feng also toasted Jiang Xiaobai with a few glasses of wine, and Jiang Xiaobai's attention was always on the young man dressed in black with a face on his face.

After the black-clothed young man entered the table, he sat quietly on the Nanmu table, neither speaking nor toasting to everyone, as if it was transparent, making people feel no life at all. Such an indifferent person, but the third prince was not displeased, nor did he introduce his identity to everyone.

When Jiang Xiaobai raised the cup to signal to him, the black-clothed young man hurriedly picked up the wine cup to cover his face as if he was frightened. Later, I seemed to remember that I still had a face with me, so I regained a little indifference.

Seeing the young man in black react like this, Jiang Xiaobai was also stunned, and then he seemed to think of something in his mind, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

...

After the dinner, Jiang Xiaobai naturally went back to the guest room with his subordinates to rest, and his mood at the moment was indescribably depressed. The third prince said that the owner of Ren Zhuang wanted to see him, but Ren Jing never said a word to him during the banquet, was it really just to see him?

In reverie, I saw a familiar back in the corridor, it was the black-clothed young man at the banquet.

Jiang Xiaobai crossed his mouth with a hint of a smile, and shouted towards his back: "Girl, please stay!" ”

The young man in black didn't pay attention, but quickened his pace.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai shouted even louder: "Miss Jing Ke, please stay!" ”

This time, the young man in black finally stopped, took off his face fiercely, turned around and frowned and asked, "How do you recognize me?" There was not much surprise in his words, he was still indifferent.

Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward and said with a grin: "It's very simple, use smell"

"Smell?"

"Yes, as the so-called smelling fragrance knows women, I know the indifference exuded from your body." Jiang Xiaobai blinked and said with a smile, "And that's..."

Jing Ke frowned and asked coldly, "What else!" ”

"And there's... Your chest is not tightly wrapped, and your waist is not covered with a few layers. The figure is graceful, the waist is like a thin willow, and he twists his ass when he walks. I think... If you are not blind, you can see that you are a girl," Jiang Xiaobai said slowly.

"Bold!" Jing Ke scolded angrily, an imperceptible flush flashed on his indifferent face, and then he actually picked up the short blade and stabbed straight towards Jiang Xiao's white throat.

Jiang Xiaobai secretly thought, "! Immediately cast a gossip step to dodge this blow.

However, Jing Ke didn't succeed in one blow, but he didn't give up, and stabbed several times in succession, and all the back was a killing move. While letting Jiang Xiaobai dodge, he vomited bitterness in his heart. This is the second time that Jing Ke has killed him, if he hadn't obtained the order to kill the lake, and if he had coincidentally cultivated the internal strength and mental method on the order to greatly increase his own skills, he might have really planted it in Jing Ke's hands tonight!

"This little girl is really ruthless!!" Jiang Xiaobai secretly complained, and after dodging a few more attacks, she was thinking about how this farce should end, when she heard a sound of "boom", and a stone flew to bounce off the short blade in Jing Ke's hand, defusing the next offensive she was about to launch.

Before the two of them were stunned, Ren Jing had already appeared in front of Jiang Xiaobai and Jing Ke in the blink of an eye, and said with a faint smile: "Miss Jing Ke, I don't know if I can let this young man go for the sake of my face." ”

Jing Ke snorted coldly, didn't say much, picked up the underground short blade and turned to leave. Jiang Xiaobai looked at Ren Jing and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you Master Ren, you saved Xiaobai again." ”

Ren Jing smiled softly: "Jiang Shaoxia doesn't have to be too polite, it was actually my apprentice who saved you last time, and this time, I just happened to pass by." Besides, I don't think your martial arts are below that girl, and I think Shaoxia is also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade."

Jiang Xiaobai saw that he was told the central matter, so he had to spare his head and smile, but in his heart, he didn't believe what Ren Jing said happened to pass by, this Ren Zhuang owner appeared here at this time, there must be something.

Sure enough, he listened to Ren Jing and continued: "I take the liberty of asking, Jiang Shaoxia is a martial artist, I don't know who he is taught by?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly realized, it turned out that the owner of the village was here for this matter tonight, and secretly glanced at Ren Jing, and said in his heart: "My senior brother Qin Yue should not have offended this beautiful woman, others have seen their martial arts and come to seek revenge..."

Although Ren Jing was kind to him, Qin Yue had told him not to reveal his name to outsiders, so he said: "The family teacher once told Xiaobai not to reveal a little bit of his information. So..."

Ren Jing smiled faintly and interrupted: "Since that's the case, then I won't be reluctant to be a young man" After that, her slender jade hand stretched out from her snow-white long sleeves, and a short sword was already in her hand, "Seeing that Shaoxia, you have a unique skill, but you are missing a weapon to take advantage of, this short sword called Lunar Eclipse, I will give it to you." ”

This short sword is two feet and one inch long, with a faint cold light in the reflection of the moonlight, and a silver and black crescent moon is carved on the hilt, which is also in line with the name "lunar eclipse". Although the blade was hidden in the scabbard, you could still feel the aura.

Rao is Jiang Xiaobai no longer understands swords, and at a glance, he can also know that the short sword in Ren Jing's hand is definitely a rare and good sword that sharpens iron like clay. Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can Xiaobai accept such a heavy gift, and ask the owner of the village to take it back." ”

Ren Jing pushed the sword into Jiang Xiaobai's hand, and said: "I have no use for this sword here, and it is also its fate to give it to Shaoxia." If Jiang Shaoxia refuses to accept it, I will be a young man who looks down on Jingxue Mountain Villa and looks down on me. ”

"This..."Jiang Xiaobai didn't expect that the owner of Ren Da, who was famous and prestigious in the rivers and lakes, would also make such a scoundrel's small means, seeing that he couldn't do it, he had no choice but to put the sword in his hand, and sincerely thanked: "Then Xiaobai is respectful and better than obeying his fate." ”

....

After Jiang Xiaobai left, Ren Jing did not leave, she stood alone on the cloister and looked up at the moonlight, lamenting from time to time. After a while, I saw a girl Yingying dressed in white like snow coming over, first put on a robe for her, and then asked softly: "Master, that lunar eclipse is a Xuantie sword refined by my uncle himself, why should I give it to him?" ”

"If the one behind him is really the person I'm looking for, then this sword should be delivered." Ren Jing sighed lightly, looked at the girl beside her and suddenly asked, "Qiaoqian, the teacher hasn't asked you yet, why did you save people, but you refused to attend the dinner to meet people?" ”

The girl in white's face turned red in an instant, but she didn't know what to say when she lowered her head.

Ren Jing covered her mouth and chuckled, only to find that a handkerchief had been left on the ground at some point, picked it up, smiled even more, and said: "You are sincerely avoiding others, but others guessed it." ”

I saw a painting embroidered on the handkerchief, it was a mountain villa full of plum blossoms, it was snowing in the painting, and the word Ren Qiaoqian was shown in the lower right corner.
