The next day, all the leaders received their own gifts, and they were already preparing to go out of the peach blossom stream in the morning, Su Xin and Gu Qingyan came over, and on this occasion, it was good to show up. Until they sent off the people in charge, Gu Qingyan, Xu Shaolin and others returned to Juxian Pavilion.

Xu Shaolin asked Gu Qingyan: "Do you need help with tomorrow's trial?" ”

Tomorrow is the day of the trial, Beiming and the Twelve Ghost Guards have already prepared everything, and the viewing platform has already sent people to prepare, and there is nothing else that needs help.

"Then are you still going to Shimen today?" Bailimo asked her.

Gu Qingyan said: "Let's go, I'll order someone last." I'm also talking to them about the mission once. ”

Gu Qingyan never does things that she is not sure of, not to mention that the situation tomorrow will be different from the past, so she has repeatedly confirmed.

The three of them didn't say much, they packed up the Juxian Pavilion and went out, the three of them also spent some energy in the past three days, and they wanted to rest for a while when they got a temporary time, and they also made an appointment with Hanyan for a while, so the four of them went their own way.

Gu Qingyan returned to the Pure Heart Courtyard, and saw that there was no movement in the east wing room on the side, and the people in the hall said that Mrs. had sent a message in the morning and asked Su Tanxue to go over there. Gu Qingyan listened, entered the house, waited for Su Xin to change into clothes that were convenient for mobility, and went towards the stone gate.

Yun Luan knew that Su Tanxue was also here that day, so he expected that Gu Qingyan would not be able to take care of this friend during this time, so he found someone to pass the word and asked Su Tanxue to be his companion.

It just so happened that Qianhuayu talked about teaching Su Tanxue a few tricks to defend herself, and now a few people practiced in the courtyard, and they practiced for an hour and a half, obviously it was winter, but Su Tanxue didn't sweat less. Considering that Su Tanxue is a girl with no foundation, and it is not appropriate to practice for too long at once, this is the intermission.

Yun Luan pulled Su Tanxue to sit beside her, picked up a handkerchief and asked her to wipe her sweat: "Wipe the sweat, don't catch a cold for a while." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Su Tanxue replied politely.

Yun Luan looked at the girl and liked it more and more, the willow eyebrows and cherry mouth, the raw and moving, coupled with the quiet personality, the standard is painful. Qianhuayu also came over and said, "Look at you coming to Peach Blossom Stream, that girl is in trouble again." But it's okay, I can call you a few tricks quietly. ”

After getting along with Qianhuayu several times, Su Tanxue likes Qianhuayu's straightforward personality very much, and every time she listens to her, she feels that there is a laugh in it.

"Actually, you're quite talented." Qianhuayu talked about teaching Su Tanxue in the past two days, this kid learned very quickly, and his response was good, but he had a bit of a look after two days.

Listening to Qianhuayu praise herself, Su Tanxue was a little proud in her heart, but her reserved face was still as usual, and their chat together was just to talk about Su Tanxue's ordinary life, and occasionally brought Gu Qingyan to ridicule her, and the day passed like this.

Gu Qingyan entered the stone gate, and Beiming appeared: "Master." ”

"Nothing, right?" Gu Qingyan asked, walking inside.

"Everything works."

"How's that going in the Misty Forest?" Gu Qingyan thought that the few in the misty forest should have been in for two or three days. I don't know if I can hold it back.

Beiming just came back from there this morning, looked for the traces of those people, and looked normal, so he told Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan suddenly had a small idea and said, "I can really bear it, but you said that if we keep ignoring them, how long can they endure it?" ”

The three black lines on Beiming's head came out in an instant: "You can ignore him, but he will find you." ”

"That's right." Gu Qingyan thought about it, this is the truth.

Beiming wondered, it was only a few days since his master came out of Shimen, and when he came back today, why did he feel different, a little active? Beiming himself can't say it.

There is a special room in Shimen with all kinds of strange small animals of Gu Qingyan, such as scorpions, poisonous spiders, snakes, and moths that can fly this time.

These are all raised by someone to help Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan called this person an old ghost, too, these small animals in front of him can't be brought by ordinary people, and they can be scared just by seeing them. Gu Qingyan walked calmly in front, and Beiming in the back was already accustomed to it.

Taking a big jar from the old ghost's hand, Gu Qingyan shook it, knocked on the jar, and said, "Baby, tomorrow will depend on you." After speaking, the corner of his mouth smiled evilly, this picture, if he hadn't been by Gu Qingyan's side for a long time, Beiming would have shivered.

Handing the jar to Beiming, Gu Qingyan looked at the little animals that were almost hibernating, and asked the old ghost: "Old ghost, when can I take the poison?" ”

The old ghost looked at it and said, "Back to the fourth girl, the scorpion can wait for the spring to bloom in March, and the snake venom needs to be taken for a while." ”

Gu Qingyan: "Oh, I'm afraid it's too late, but there is another way?" "By that time, her Gu worms are afraid that they will die.

The old ghost keeps these things all year round, but he has an idea: "In the past, the peach blossom stream was not so cold this year, but it was easy to do, but this year, if the girl wants to take poison in advance, she can only think of ways to warm up this house." ”

"Did you hear that?" Gu Qingyan looked at Beiming behind him.

Beiming understood the meaning and said to the old ghost: "If you need anything, just say it, and we will get it for you as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, so I'll write a note to my son, and you can prepare it according to the note." After the old ghost finished speaking, he went into the house, took out a pen, ink and paper, and began to write.

After writing it, it was directly given to Beiming, Gu Qingyan looked at it from the side, it was all some things to warm up, and there were all in the valley, so he said: "After I go out, I will say hello to the eldest brother first, take his hand cards to you, and then you send someone to pick them up." ”

Peach Blossom Stream needs a lot of specific things for a while, and it has to be agreed by Xu Shaolin, and he can only use his hand, Gu Qingyan just took a look, there are a lot of them, she still told Xu Shaolin first.

The old ghost, Gu Qingyan, took the things, explained a few more words, and left with Beiming: "These moths will be put in the forest early tomorrow morning, you can collect them first." ”

"Yes."

"Where do they practice?" Gu Qingyan wanted to finally confirm the person who would be tried tomorrow.

Beiming took Gu Qingyan over, seeing that these people were now training on their own, Gu Qingyan secretly counted the number of people, a total of thirty-seven people, and there were really a whole number of them. Beiming took the roster and drew on a few names with his hand, Gu Qingyan took the red pen on the side and directly ticked the name: "Don't remember these people." ”

After a while, Gu Qingyan sat in the council hall of the stone gate and waited for Beiming to call the twelve ghost guards. The Dongsheng Juxian Pavilion was also finished, so he naturally returned to Shimen.

"Tomorrow's trial, everyone's responsible position has been divided for everyone?" Gu Qingyan asked Beiming.

"Yes, it's already divided."

"Tomorrow's trial, there are not only secret guards in the forest, but also some idle people, so you have to do more than just a single test task in the past. If anyone sees something strange in their sight, they will be killed. Gu Qingyan's eyes were cold, and he swept the twelve below.

She wanted to keep them alive, but only three or two were enough, and as for the rest, she wanted them to come in and lie down and go out.

"Yes!" Everyone sat down in unison. They knew that this time Gu Qingyan saw it more heavily than before, so everyone didn't dare to let down their vigilance.

Gu Qingyan said: "It's better to kill by mistake than to let go." You and I both know that as soon as something happens tomorrow, everyone present will know that Shimen is not only flawed, but think about the rules of the valley, what punishment will you and I receive. ”

There are rules in the Peach Blossom Stream: The stone gate is an important place in the peach blossom stream, and those who have different intentions are not allowed to check the people who mix into the stone gate, resulting in incidents, regardless of the position, from top to bottom with a whip of thirty, which is the lightest, if the matter also involves foreign affairs, such as transporting the trial secret guards or these people out of the stone gate, the punishment is doubled; If you perceive that you have not solved the problem on your own but rely on someone else, that is to punish and remove from office; If this matter leads to the most serious consequences and directly threatens the interests of all parties, then these people can only solve the matter first and then apologize with death.

Now that the situation is in the situation, the lightest thirty lashes are bound to be taken, but Gu Qingyan doesn't want her to lose any of the thirteen people under her command, so she tries her best to stop this matter from being known to her insiders and solve it herself.

Beiming They also know the seriousness of this matter, to put it bluntly, if they neglect to release a person into the secret guard sent to the palace for a while, what will happen in the future is the responsibility that they can't bear.

"My subordinates understand."

Gu Qingyan sighed, everyone understands people, and there is no need for her to say anything, she glanced at Beiming, and saw that Beiming nodded firmly at her, Gu Qingyan slowed down her tone: "Tomorrow, Beiming and I will be in the forest at the beginning, the best thing is to solve them from the two of us, and you can test them with peace of mind, but if anyone finds a gap from the two of us, don't let him out of the forest." ”

After a pause, Gu Qingyan said, "Let's rest early today." ”

After speaking, Gu Qingyan dispersed everyone, and he saw that the time was almost up, so he walked out of the stone gate and returned to the Pure Heart Courtyard. When I entered the courtyard, I saw Su Tanxue, Su Xin and Guo'er burning something in the courtyard, and there was a burst of smoke, which made several people cough again and again, so they stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Su Tanxue saw Gu Qingyan coming, and hurriedly pulled Gu Qingyan over and said: "Today at Master Qian's place, I heard them say that when they were out playing, they loved to toss roasted sweet potatoes by themselves in winter, and I thought it was interesting, so I mentioned it to Su Xin and Guo'er when I came back." ”

As he was talking, a burst of smoke rose again, and he came straight towards Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue, Gu Qingyan didn't like smoking the most, so he quickly pulled up Su Tanxue and jumped to the corridor not far away, helped Su Tanxue smooth out, and motioned for her to continue.

"Ahem, Su Xin said that you have done it yourself before, so she has experience, so this is what you can do." Su Tanxue coughed, and when she was comfortable, she said with an embarrassed face.

Gu Qingyan looked at the pile of smoke with disgust, and said, "Is this experienced?" ”

"Huh? Haven't you done it? Su Tanxue thought she had been deceived.

Gu Qingyan recalled: "There is such a thing, but the mound and fire seem to have been made by the eldest brother and the third brother, so I just buried sweet potatoes in it." ”

The two of them didn't think to save Su Xin and Guo'er, who were still trapped in the smoke and trying to settle the matter. but I heard the voices of others.

"What is this for?"

"Girl!"

The voices of Baili Mo and Han Yan sounded at the same time.

Yuwang, Xu Shaolin, Zong Yue, Bailimo, and Hanyan made an appointment for a competition this afternoon, and as soon as they turned back, they saw smoke coming out of the direction of Gu Qingyan's courtyard.

"Where is that?" Yuwang was the first to see it and asked.

When the other people looked at the direction, they instantly knew that it was the Pure Heart Temple, and they hurriedly came this way.

"Third brother, there are Su Xin and Guo'er in it, and I am here." Gu Qingyan spoke.

At this time, Su Xin and Guo'er were also pulled out of the smoke by Zong Yue, Xu Shaolin and Han Yan extinguished the fire of the mound, and Baili Mo arranged where to copy the bucket and handed it over, the smoke rose for a while, and then gradually dispersed.

King Yu watched the movements of these people and Gu Qingyan, who was standing under the corridor like no one else, and secretly said to himself: They are really the only ones who can make such a thrilling show so seriously, and they can also make people look light and light.

"What are you doing!" This time it was Xu Shaolin who spoke out, and his tone was not difficult to hear a little angry. This sentence frightened Gu Qingyan into taking a step back. But feeling that Su Tanxue beside her was holding her hand tightly, Gu Qingyan still took the opportunity to pat her hand to reassure her.

"Let me all in!" Xu Shaolin didn't care that King Yu was there, so he stepped into the house in three or two steps, waiting for Gu Qingyan to come in with his head down and like a little chicken.

Others didn't know, but when he saw the scene just now, his heart stopped beating, and he was afraid that it was the fire in the Pure Heart Courtyard. The fire, the sea of fire, and the smoke were far less terrifying than the three of them, as if the memory was instantly pulled back to ten years ago, so it was no wonder that Xu Shaolin, who had always been calm, couldn't control his tone.

Everyone entered the house one after another, Gu Qingyan knew that except for Xu Shaolin, the other two brothers were also angry, Yu Guang glanced at King Yu, that person looked like watching a play, Gu Qingyan couldn't count on it, and then looked at Hanyan, it was also a stinky face, Gu Qingyan thought to herself, it's over, there is no trial yet, and he will be punished first.

Xu Shaolin finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue standing, Su Xin and Guo'er kneeling, and said, "It's talking, what are you doing?" ”

"Go back to the valley master..."Su Xin was about to reply, but was interrupted by Gu Qingyan.

"I just want to make roasted sweet potatoes by myself, and I remember the last time we got them together, so..."Gu Qingyan became quieter the more he spoke.

Xu Shaolin's angry hand in his sleeve was clenched into a fist: "You shut up for me." ”

"You let me say it." Gu Qingyan also whispered.

"Say it again!" Xu Shaolin really wanted to drag Gu Qingyan and beat her up now.

"Back to the valley master, the slaves and maids thought they could get it right, so they took the girls to see it, but they didn't expect the smoke to rise." Su Xin hurriedly took the conversation to herself.

Baili Mo was also angry, and said, "You guys are roasted sweet potatoes?" It's almost baking the house. ”

They also served these little aunts and grandmothers, and if they want to eat, they can't find a kitchen, so they have to toss around in the yard by themselves.

"Also, where are all your secret guards? Just looking at you and tossing around? Bailimo asked.

This is really Gu Qingyan didn't have time to ask, looked at Su Xin, and thought to herself that this girl didn't send a secret guard, if this is the case, then she won't be able to recruit today.

Her small action fell in Zong Yue's eyes, and others could guess a little, Zong Yue began to say: "Don't look at her, you can't escape the punishment." ”

"I said Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan, you are really not afraid of fire." It's okay not to mention it, but now Xu Shaolin is so angry that he can't go out of his mind, and he suddenly mentions this matter, and he pokes Gu Qing's cigarette door up.

It was precisely this sentence that woke up King Yu Why did they react like that just now, and it was instantly clear in their hearts why Gu Qingyan regarded these brothers as more important than their blood relatives.

"Big brother, Yan'er is wrong." Gu Qingyan wanted to return the sentence because of that sentence, but she ran into tears for a while, and the tears were rolling in her eyes, but now there are still so many people, Gu Qingyan can't help but let the tears fall.

walked to Xu Shaolin's side, half-squatted down, pulled Xu Shaolin's sleeve and said softly: "This time it's just careless, there must be no next time." ”

Watery eyes looked at Xu Shaolin pleadingly, Xu Shaolin's fire was slowly suppressed, and he pointed at Zong Yue, Gu Qingyan instantly understood, and walked towards Zong Yue in small steps: "Second brother~"

Zong Yue turned his head away and didn't look at her, and this girl only coquettishly every time she made a mistake or begged for something, the point is not to be coquettish or not to be coquettish, and if she is coquettish, it will be fatal.

Gu Qingyan is a person who can draw inferences from one another, seeing that Zong Yue's temperament is not so great, he turned to Bailimo: "Third brother, no matter how strong this cigarette is, it is not as strong as me Gu Qingyan, right?" ”

She would praise herself, coaxed the three of them around, and saw that the atmosphere had eased, so she pulled Su Tanxue and said, "If you are still angry, you can only blame the master." ”

"Why are you still involved with Master?" Zong Yue asked.

Gu Qingyan said: "It was the master who mentioned that they were roasting sweet potatoes in the mound outside, and Tanxue was curious, so we wanted to do it." ”

"You girl." Zong Yue got up and doted on Gu Qingyan's head with his fingers, then rolled up his sleeves and went out, and Baili Mo immediately followed out.

When Xu Shaolin passed by Gu Qingyan, he didn't forget to say: "Today, the secret guards on duty in your courtyard are each fined half a month of silver, and Su Xin is fined silver for one month, and they will go to Qiwu Courtyard, Baicaotang and Yunlan Courtyard to help in January." I'm not going to cure her of your habits. ”

Seeing the three of them walking around in the courtyard, Gu Qingyan pulled Su Tanxue back to sit back on the chair with a sigh of relief. Su Tanxue didn't dare to speak, after all, Gu Qingyan's three brothers were finished, but there was still one person who was not finished: "Qingyan." ”

Su Tanxue pulled the corner of Gu Qingyan's clothes and motioned for her to look at Hanyan. Gu Qingyan got up suddenly, he was already very tired of coaxing the three of them just now, but there was another one.

Gu Qingyan stepped forward and pulled Su Tanxue's hand and told her: You go first.

After all, Gu Qingyan had already helped him block a lot in front of him, so Su Tanxue stepped forward to admit his mistake to Han Yan, Han Yan saw the smoke and was afraid that something would happen to these two girls, and when he came, he saw that Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue were all right, and he was angry at first, but when he saw Gu Qingyan like that just now, his anger slowly subsided, after all, the most important thing is that people are fine. But it couldn't just make Gu Qingyan feel that he was angry, so he said a few comforting words to Tanxue, ignored Gu Qingyan and went out.

Su Tanxue looked at Gu Qingyan puzzled, Gu Qingyan said, "Regardless of him, this is my yard." But after saying that, he didn't forget to look outside the hospital.

Looking back and seeing that King Yu was still sitting there, Gu Qingyan said, "You still haven't returned to the Banyan Garden?" ”

"This king just wants to see if they are worthy of your brother."

"Compared to you, they are not just worthy of you."

"This king admits it." He doesn't recognize it, and he can't.

"The play is over, are you still here?"

"Yes, this king has withdrawn." He had no reason to stay, and here he was an outsider after all.

King Yu left, Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue sat down in the house, the four men in the courtyard outside were still there, Su Tanxue asked, "What are they doing?" ”

Gu Qingyan took a sip of water and said, "Eighty piles of mounds, ready to roast sweet potatoes in a while." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled at Su Tanxue, and then let Su Xin and Guo'er get up: "You two go and prepare the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and taro, we can't live up to this angry mound." ”

Later, as Gu Qingyan said, things have been roasting in the mound, sweet potatoes for a while, potatoes for a while, taro for a while. In winter, it should be the warmest day.
