On the steps outside the main entrance of the Huxin Tower, Cao Ming stood on it, his eyes closed and stared up at the noon sky, letting the scorching sun shine on his well-defined face.

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near in the Huxin Building behind them.

"Childe, my brother and I have almost talked about it, what the result is, it's up to my brother to tell me personally!"

Cao Ming didn't look back, but his eyebrows trembled violently.

"Childe!" This voice was extremely low, and it came from the mouth of Quan Meng.

Cao Ming pressed his chest and took a deep breath. He turned to look at Quan Meng, maintaining his usual gentle smile and said, "Brother Quan, how are you thinking about it?" ”

"Thank you for giving me the sword!"

"What?" Cao Ming was a little puzzled for a while, and suddenly, he suddenly reacted, an irrepressible joy poured out of his chest, and his eyes began to become a little blurry.

Quan Meng faced Cao Ming, knelt down on his knees and said: "Quan Meng is willing to assist Gongzi wholeheartedly to help Gongzi regain the ancestral inheritance as soon as possible!" ”

Cao Ming strode forward, also knelt down in front of Quan Meng, and then he held Quan Meng's arm with both hands, and couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "Jun is a hero in the world, he shouldn't be under the people, Chen Qi is young and talented, and he has the honor of being a good person!" Chen Qi dared to swear to the sky that in the future, he would be blessed and enjoy hardships together, and he would live up to the king! The two bowed to each other again, and then laughed together.

Pang Heng wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "The son has to meet a good talent, and the brother has to meet the master, it is really gratifying, gratifying!" Everyone is not drunk today! ”

At this time, a small boat had docked at the edge of the lake building at some point, and a young man in a yellow shirt stood on the boat, and he arched his hand towards the three of them.

Pang Heng smiled and said: "Kuifeng, you came just in time, send me back to the other side." ”

The young man smiled and said, "Everyone, please get on board!" ”

The three of them got on the boat in turn, Cao Ming walked last, and when he passed by the young man, the young man whispered to him: "Childe, I just received a secret report from Sister Qing. ”

"What did she say?"

"She learned the news from the Wu Wangfu, saying that Sun Ji, the king of Wu, had quelled the Miao Yi Rebellion in Jingnan ten days ago and had set off to return to Jinling."

Cao Ming nodded and said, "Got it!" After that, if there is no other major news, she does not need to send secret reports outside, so as not to expose her feet in advance. ”

"Yes."

In the pavilion near the lake in the back garden, Xiao Ruixue looked at the lake tower and the sun-drenched lake around it, and said: "Mr. Luo, what you said is true, standing here and looking at the lake center building, it is really beautiful." ”

Luo Tanhua smiled and said: "Xiao Xiaoniang loves beautiful scenery so much, Tanhua can't help but want to invite you to my peach blossom dock, especially the beautiful scenery there." ”

"Gusu Taohuawu is famous, if I have a fate, I really want to see it."

"In that case, when you are fully recovered, can you go back to Taohuawu with me?"

"Huh?" Xiao Ruixue came back to her senses and said busily: "No." ”

"Why not?" Luo Tanhua smiled like a spring breeze.

Xiao Ruixue didn't expect Luo Tanhua to ask this rhetorical question, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said after being silent for a while: "I don't dare to disturb Mr. Luo too much." ”

"Tan Hua doesn't think this is a nuisance, it is an honor for Tan Hua to be accompanied by a beauty like Rui Xue!"

Luo Tanhua's words gradually became a little explicit, Xiao Ruixue was a man in her previous life, and she had said such similar words in order to pursue her beloved Li Shuni, how could she not know Luo Tanhua's purpose? But now that the target has become herself, she has difficulty adapting, but she doesn't know how to reject others from the position of a woman, and all she can do is be silent for a long time.

The atmosphere suddenly became delicate, Luo Tanhua secretly observed Xiao Ruixue, according to his rich experience in the past, he thought that this was the reserved and shyness that women often have, and if he wanted to move his heart at this moment, he should be inch by inch, and he should do his best to be gentle.

He gradually approached Xiao Ruixue, wanting to open his arms and gently take her into his arms, and gently touched the top of her head with his chin, rubbing her long hair, and finally whispered in her ear with his very magnetic voice: "Do you know? Tan Hua has fallen in love with you since he first saw you! If I can cultivate fate with you in this life, Tanhua will die without regrets! ”

This trick has been used by Luo Tanhua, often when the woman is hesitant about her attitude, the effect is not disadvantageous.

Luo Tanhua had already walked in front of Xiao Ruixue, and was just about to show his strengths: "Ruixue, do you know?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ruixue looked up at Luo Tanhua, and suddenly, she jumped back, widened her eyes and said, "Mr. Luo, if you have something to say, the gentleman doesn't do anything!" ”

Luo Tanhua's expression was stunned, and his arms stretched out in the air wanted to hug him, but he was frozen there.

Xiao Ruixue understood Luo Tanhua's embarrassment, she hurriedly stretched out her arms, made a few push and stretch movements with reference to Luo Tanhua's posture, and said, "I misunderstood!" Mr. Luo, the weather is so good today, you should stretch your muscles! ”

"Yes, yes." Luo Tanhua smiled, put away his embarrassed expression, and pretended to stretch his muscles.

"Ahem, ahem, you're so interested!" A familiar voice came from outside the gazebo.

When Xiao Ruixue heard his voice, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Luo Tanhua poked his head out of the pavilion and looked down at the bottom of the pavilion, only to see that a small boat came there at some point, and there were four people standing on the boat, one of whom was Cao Ming, and Cao Ming was looking at himself with a smile, his eyes were a little unkind.

Luo Tanhua smiled indifferently: "Gongzi Cao, I didn't expect you to have such a good luck, and you actually went boating with many friends!" ”

Cao Ming smiled: "Where is it, it is not as good as Mr. Luo's Yaxing!" Then he raised his voice and said: "As a guest, Xiao Xiaoniang is so snub to the master and refuses to show up?" ”

The words fell for a long time, and Xiao Ruixue's head poked out of the gazebo, and everyone on the boat saw his face, and their eyes lit up.

"What do you have to teach Gongzi Cao?" Xiao Ruixue had been brewing in the pavilion for a long time, so that her expression could not show any joy, anger and sorrow, but after a while, her eyes immediately turned to the other person on the boat.

"Black Bear, why are you here?" Xiao Ruixue's expression was a little irrepressible excited.

Everyone reacted one after another, and they all looked at Quan Meng again. Quan Meng's pupils contracted slightly, and after he looked at Xiao Ruixue carefully, he hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Are you the little lady I injured that day?" Hehe, I didn't expect it to be so stunning! ”

Xiao Ruixue looked at Quan Meng in a daze, her expression changed several times, from initial joy to disappointment, and finally to despair, because she could no longer see a trace of respect for herself from Quan Meng's eyes, not even the most basic respect, but instead of a kind of implicit desire.

Quan Meng squinted his eyes lightly and smiled generously: "This little lady, I don't know how you learned about my nickname when I was young, the reason why I hurt you last time was to avoid the enemy, and I had to do it." Childe rescued you together, saying that you are his junior sister, and guaranteed that you will never be harmless to the Sprinkle family, and the Sprinkle family can trust Childe, so the grievances with you will be written off in the future! ”

"First, the pen, the hook, the pin?" Xiao Ruixue's expression was a little blank.

"If you are resentful, for the sake of the son's face, the Sprinkle family can accept your slap to apologize!"

Xiao Ruixue became expressionless: "No need. With that, she retracted her head into the gazebo, and was no longer in sight.

Pang Heng on the boat sighed lightly with a little regret, so he smiled and said, "Childe, today is a big day, why don't you set up a banquet and invite Mr. Luo and Senior Sister Ling to participate together?" ”

Seeing that Cao Ming was a little hesitant, Pang Heng couldn't help but whisper in his ear: "Childe, we only talked about some public topics at the banquet, and never talked about secret things, in fact, there is no hindrance. Pang Heng would never dare to have any thoughts about the woman that Gongzi liked, but the good looks were rare, and he just wanted to see them again without regrets, and I was afraid that Brother Quan Meng's expression would also have this idea. ”

Cao Ming was still weighing, but Xiao Ruixue's categorical voice came from the pavilion: "I don't think I need to, my body is still unwell, and I should go back to the room to recuperate!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a slender figure had already left the pavilion, and walked resolutely towards the shore, disappearing into the dense flowers in the direction of the back house without looking back.

Luo Tanhua in the pavilion smiled and arched his hand: "In this way, it makes no sense for you to invite Luo to the banquet, so Luo also said goodbye!" ”

Quan Meng said sincerely: "Mr. Luo is kind to the Sprinkle family, how can he leave?" ”

Luo Tanhua shook the long sleeves of his wide black robe, and said with an indifferent smile: "That's it, Luo didn't like such a restrained banquet, so he still left!" After that, he also left in style, but he did not follow in the direction where Xiao Ruixue disappeared, but walked alone in the direction of the wing where he was.

The boat docked under the rowing of the young man in the yellow shirt, and everyone on the boat also went ashore one after another.

In the middle of the flowers in the distance, a pair of bright and crystalline eyes were looking at Quan Meng's back, which became a little foggy, and then a sad sigh came from the flowers: "It seems that you have found a new master, or the one who is incompatible with me." Hehe, creation makes people! But yes, why do I want anything more than I look like now? That's it, that's it! ”
