Xun Jian's gaze fell on Xu Ren, and he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then walked to this side, and after walking for a while, he saw Shi Ji sitting on the side, and suddenly turned back again.

Xu Ren got up and walked slowly towards Xun Jian, and said as he walked: "Brother Boxi." There was an indescribable sense of vicissitudes in his words.

Bo Xi is Xun Jian's character, Xun Jian heard Xu Ren call him, and his footsteps stopped.

Shi Ji helped Xu Ren and said, "Doctor Xu has old knowledge here?" It seems that there is a lot of inconvenience. He looked at me and said, "Doctor Xu is old, please take care of your son, and say goodbye first." So saying, he got up and left.

I thought about it for a while, and felt that this Turkic prince was really very generous, and his own mind and bearing were too far behind him.

Cao Fu walked up to Xu Ren and bowed, and arched his hand: "Doctor Xu, under Cao Fu, I don't know if Doctor Xu remembers?" ”

Xu Ren's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly: "If you don't look carefully, you don't recognize it." ”

It turned out that they had already met during the reign of Emperor Xiaoxuan of Jiangdong Chen Guo, and Xu Ren had already gone to Guanwai at that time.

I listened to their greetings while drinking tea, and after a while, Cao Fu had already told Xu Ren what had happened in Qingyu Pavilion.

After Cao Fu finished speaking, he pointed at me and said, "The master of the Qingyu Pavilion designated by Zen Master Huitong before he was killed, Li Jiancheng, the son of the head of the Tang State Mansion, is. ”

I arched my hand and said, "I have seen my predecessors." ”

Xu Ren looked at it carefully, narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, and said, "There will be no mistake." ”

He didn't feel very sad to hear about his son's death, and this detachment struck me as very strange, and I couldn't help but look at him a few more times, thinking that he was also that kind of person—a kind of person who was a little out of place in the world.

After a while, Xu Ren seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Xun Jian: "In the Qingyu Pavilion, are there any descendants of the Xu family?" ”

Cao Fu smiled and said: "Naturally, your granddaughter Ruoxiu is now the wife of the pavilion master!" ”

Xu Ren looked at me, I lowered my head and smiled, "The junior brought Ruoxiu to see you." Xu Ren smiled and stroked his gray beard, I looked carefully, he was actually not too old.

Originally, Shi Ji said that he would come to Xu Ren in the late afternoon, and we waited in the teahouse while drinking tea, but the strange thing was that Shi Ji did not show up until it was completely dark.

Candles had been lit in the teahouse, and Sanniang had already gone downstairs from the piano room, and when she saw that Shi Ji was delayed, she asked: "This Mr. Shi is so untrustworthy, he said that he would come in the afternoon, but now it is not yet." ”

Xu Ren waved his hand and said: "Prince Tuji has always been true to his word, and he has never broken his word, today is probably what happened, Miss Yuzhi sat down slightly." "I'm inclined to agree with Heo Ren, because Shi Ji doesn't look like a man of his word.

But after about half an hour, Shi Ji still didn't appear, and I couldn't sit still now. At this moment, there were footsteps outside the door, and Shi Ji appeared at the door of the teahouse.

He didn't appear alone, there was a person behind him, with a thin body, a black scarf covering his face, and he was very close to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji arched his hand as he walked inside: "It's too late to come down, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

As soon as his hand was raised, the dagger glowing from his waist was exposed behind the wide sleeve of his robe. We were all stunned, and our nerves tensed.

Cao Fu took a step forward and arched his hand: "This friend, I don't know where this Mr. Shi offended you?" ”

The masked man didn't speak, just looked at Shi Ji coldly.

Shi Ji smiled casually: "It's just a misunderstanding." I'm here to tell Dr. Xu, I'm afraid I can't go with you. ”

Xu Ren said: "Why is this? ”

Shi Ji said: "A friend in the next one has something to do outside the gate, this ...... She came to ask me to go back. ”

I looked behind him through Shiji, and the masked man jerked at me, then looked away, and though only for a moment, the cold gaze stabbed me. I thought this cold feeling was familiar, but after thinking about it, I couldn't figure out who it was.

Cao Fu said: "Mr. Shi, are you a friend of Li Gongzi?" ”

Shi Ji looked at me, and I answered, "Naturally." ”

Cao Fu said again: "Since he is a friend of Li Gongzi, he is a friend of Cao." My friend was bullied at the door, and that's a bit unjustifiable anyway. ”

Shi Ji and I were stunned for a moment at the same time, I was stunned because in my impression, Cao Fu has always been a bit cynical, and his skills should be above Zhang Wensu, but it is only half-baked kung fu, but the masked man in front of him is unfathomable.

When he said this, I felt a strong sense of charlatanism, which was not like his usual style.

The masked man spoke, "What do you want?" ”

……

The voice was low and cold. Still, I could tell at once where I must have heard this voice, so I thought about it.

Cao Fu said: "If Mr. Shi is willing to go with you, he will naturally ask for it, but if he is unwilling, you don't want to take him away easily today." ”

The masked man said, "He must come with me." ”

I finally remembered who this man was!

Kill?!

I wanted to take a few steps forward, but Sanniang grabbed me from behind.

Shi Ji said: "Boss Cao, I really want to go back with her, so Dr. Xu will ask you to take care of it." He smiled behind him, "Can I go now?" ”

Du Shu was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, but his body had already retreated outside the teahouse.

Cao Fu took two steps forward to chase after him, but I stopped him and said, "Let them go." ”

Cao Fu hesitated for a moment, but finally listened to me, I don't know why, I think this ostensibly stubborn businessman has become mysterious.

When they were far away, Sanniang said, "I don't think this girl seems to have any ill will towards the prince. ”

I said, "How so?" ”

Sanniang said: "If there is really malice, then Prince Tuji should feel it, but just now I see that he is free in words and deeds, and it doesn't look like he was coerced." ”

Cao Fu said: "This prince is very generous, and it is normal not to be afraid of danger. ”

Sanniang said: "That's not right. ”

On the side, Xu Ren said as if he remembered something: "Prince Tuji does have a Han friend named Li Jing outside the Guan. His wife's surname is Zhang, her name is dusty, quite beautiful, Prince Tuji's younger brother Qi Ji She, who had a bad heart at first sight, and now Prince Tuji is in the Central Plains, could it be that Li Jing and his wife encountered an accident in the Turkic tooth tent? ”

I don't know what other people think, I don't think Du Kill is going to be unfavorable to Prince Tuji, and Xu Ren mentioned Li Jing in his words, so my mind turned to Li Jing again...... What does Du Kill have to do with Li Jing? Of course, it is unthinkable to think like this.

It's been very late when I return to the Tang Guogong Mansion, I rarely come back so late, the candlelight in the room is still warm and bright, Ruoxiu is already lying on the bed, with her eyes closed, I suspect that she has fallen asleep, but I don't want to sleep, so I tiptoe to the edge of the bed, looking at Ruoxiu's slightly red face, I can't help but think of the scene when I met her for the first time.

At that time, I was a little kid about ten years old, and she was only two years older than me, and she was also a child, and she accompanied Xu Ren, the impostor Xu Ren who had already killed himself, to Shiye Temple to find her father, Zen Master Huitong, and I became the master of the Qingyu Pavilion because of this first meeting.

Now her grandfather is back, but it's not the same as I imagined, although he cares about the descendants of the Xu family, he doesn't seem to be enthusiastic, and he doesn't have much reaction to his son's death, what kind of realm is this? I do not know.

I was thinking about it when Ruoxiu's voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "How long are you going to sit stupidly like this?" ”

I was stunned, and when I looked back, she had already sat up from the bed.

I smiled and said, "I met a person in the Zuihong Teahouse today, guess who?" ”

She clasped my hand and smiled, "I can't guess, you tell me." ”

I said, "Your grandfather, Dr. Xu Ren." ”

Her hand jerked, as if shaken greatly.

She was indeed shaken, and at first she didn't believe it, and then her eyes flashed, and she burst into tears.

I didn't like to see Ruoxiu cry very much, and I felt that it was really my fault to make her cry because of my words, so I reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks and quipped: "You were sad when your fake grandfather died, and now that the real grandfather is back, you still have to be sad, what is the reason?" ”

She laughed while crying, "You idiot. ”

In fact, since I had a home, I felt that I had something more, and I had to keep it in mind all the time, for fear of accidentally leaving it somewhere, as if as long as I forgot a little, Ruoxiu and her unborn child would be hurt in something, which of course was my unfounded worry.

But there is always worry, so when Chai Shao wanted to take me to Yulin County for a walk, I refused without thinking about it. And I am very grateful to Yang Guang for throwing the Tang Guogong Mansion aside, so that I don't have to follow him around, and I can accompany Ruoxiu more at home.

I was worried that my current negative attitude towards life would cause Zhang Wensu to be dissatisfied, but strangely, he didn't. As a pianist who taught Miss Gongzi to stroke the piano in the Tang Mansion, he was very conscientious, and in addition, he either ran to the teahouse or pulled me to play chess, and he actually kept his mouth shut about his ambition to have the world.

I'm very strange, in my opinion, Zhang Wensu is the most ambitious person of all the people I know except Yang Guang, all he lacks is capital.

One day he still played chess with me, and I finally expressed my doubts.

He was dropping the white son who decided the outcome to an inconspicuous place in the lower left corner of the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Tang Guogong's knowledge is far above Wen Su, and Wen Su doesn't dare to get an axe anymore." ”

Daddy's insight? I looked at him in surprise, and then he smiled and said: "The "Zuo Biography" contains the matter of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, the so-called 'evil must be opposed', of course, this is Tang Guogong's vision, Wen Su thinks so. ”

Zhang Wensu...... Or that my father's insight is good, because of what happened in this year, the third year of the Great Cause, I remembered afterwards that I would be grateful to Yang Guang for forgetting the Tang State Mansion aside.
