Chapter 20: The Heavenly Mechanic's Gate

Yan Du raised her head in response and looked at the delicate figure behind her mother, only to see that she was wearing a hibiscus-colored multicolored embroidered thin shirt, and a daffodil skirt with a honey-colored bottom mopping the floor. Wearing a chic Feiyun oblique bun, moth eyebrows and teeth, elegant demeanor, looking similar to his age, but the temperament of the two is completely different, the flower and moon appearance can be called a first-class lady of the family, so that Yan Du can't look away.

Song Qi and the woman behind him couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw Yan Du staring at him tightly, and laughed out loud, the little girl was stunned when she looked at the girl?

Song Qi smiled and said to Yan Dui: "She is your cousin - Song Jin, my mother saw that your female husband was scared away, and your brother also went up the mountain, and he must be idle at home, no, your cousin said that she wanted to come to see her little cousin, so I brought her to see you today." ”

Song Jin? It should be the eldest brother of the mother, the son of the late Marquis of Changping, and the daughter of Song Long, the general of Song.

Yan Duan's mind turned, and he quickly got up from the chair, his black and white eyes were bent, and he said obediently to the charming Song Jin: "Hello cousin!" ”

Song Jin also smiled sweetly, looking at Yan Duan's autumn water-like apricot eyes, some round faces were as white as eggs, a good pink and jade sister, and the intimacy in her heart doubled: "Good sister!" ”

Song Qi saw that the two children were familiar at first sight, so he was relieved and said to Yan Dui: "You scared the female gentleman away before, and my mother was afraid that you wouldn't be able to learn anything at home, so she asked your cousin to teach you!" ”

"Teach me?" Yan Duxing rolled her eyes and asked with some curiosity, "What to teach me?" ”

When Song Qi heard this, he said a little arrogantly: "You are my Song Qi's daughter, none of our descendants of the Song family can't ride a horse, even your brother's stupid goose has been taught by his cousin to be obedient, you are much smarter than your brother, you will definitely be able to learn soon!" ”

After listening to the words of his mother, he thought about it, etiquette, music, shooting, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics are indeed what the descendants of a family need to master, and he was previously cultivated by the Yan family as an heir, after all, it is a family of businessmen, and most of the knowledge learned is practical and strong. But this horse, the mother said that she was still young, afraid that she would be injured, did not dare to let her study, did not expect to come to the dealer, this mother is so bold, it is really two flowers, each table a branch.

"Good! My daughter really wants to learn! Yan Du knew that instead of reading all the books in Zhuang Mansion and not being able to come up with a solution, it was better to go out and get in touch with more and learn more, but ......

"Is my cousin here to teach?" Yan Du looked at the delicate Song Jin in front of her, a little surprised.

Song Jin smiled lightly and pretended to be angry and said, "What? Do you think I can't teach your cousin? ”

"Not really!" Yan Du hurriedly said to his beautiful cousin: "I'm a beginner, there must be a lot of no, I have to practice for a long time, I'm afraid my cousin will be tired!" ”

Seeing his daughter's nervous appearance, Song Qi hurriedly knocked Song Jin's head lightly, and said punitively: "Don't tease your sister!" ”

Song Jin sighed, rubbing the place where he had just been knocked by Song Qi, while recovering the smile he had just now, and said, "I'm sorry, sister!" Sister, I just think you're cute! ”

Song Qi looked at Yan Dui's pretty face, and gradually smiled, so he explained: "What about the men of the Song family, dead and wounded, now your cousin is left in the Changping Hou Mansion, but he, like your brother, went to Tianji Mountain to study, but we women heroes are left to guard the Song family!" ”

The Song family was a loyal martyr, the Marquis of Changping was the founder of the country, and finally died of illness, and the Song general was stationed in the northern Xinjiang to expel the Tartars, but he died on the battlefield, and the status of the Song family was declining day by day, and the burden of reviving the family fell on the Song prince - Song Wang.

Yan Du remembered that Zhuang Lin once told himself that his eldest brother was his cousin Song Wang, Song Wang was two years older than Zhuang Lin, he was seventeen this year, and the boy of the Song family went to the battlefield at the age of eighteen, this is an iron-like rule, and no one can violate it.

It seems that next year today, it will be another parting.

Yan Du looked out the window and emptied thousands of miles, and the thoughts in her heart were a little wandering: I wonder what happened to my brother now?

——

The clouds are light and the wind is light near noon, and the flowers follow the willows over the front river. Zhuang Lin and the little scholar sat in a carriage and slowly marched towards Tianji Mountain.

This Zhuang Lin had a sad face, and all he thought about was Yan Duan's pretty face, but Leshui next door was smiling, thinking that his task was finally completed, and he took the young master up the mountain to hand over to the old man.

"Oops!" Zhuang Lin suddenly remembered something and screamed nervously!

"What's wrong, young master?" Le Shui was afraid that his young master would bump into it, so he hurriedly asked.

I saw Zhuang Lin flipping through his burden, and said with some regret: "I forgot to ask my sister to give me a token, and I have a good idea to go up the mountain then!" ”

Le Shui listened to the young master's nonsense, and his forehead couldn't help but sweat, but when he saw his chagrin, it was really real. In fact, from the time he rushed back to the dealer's house to the present, he has always wondered why the young master is so persistent with the young lady.

Of course, the young lady is delicate and lovely, erudite and talented, sometimes with the innocence of a child, sometimes with the heroism of a man, and she must be a first-class daughter in Shengjing, but the young master has been in Tianji Mountain for so many years, and he has been muddy, and the clouds are light and light, and he has never seen such a dead eye on something.

Although it is a bit arrogant to think so, what is the difference between the young master's current appearance and a pug that circles around his master!

Le Shui was crying in his heart, but when the words reached his throat, he still couldn't say it, the young master's feelings for the young lady were too incredible......

"Leshui, when will we be able to return to Tianji Mountain?" Zhuang Lin supported his head with one hand, eating the osmanthus cake of Taoyuanju with great interest, and remembered that time he took his sister out and failed to let her eat this delicacy, but now he is enjoying it alone, and his favorite pastries on weekdays have become the same as chewing wax.

Leshui looked at the young master's wilting appearance, and hurriedly said something that made him happy: "Not far ahead is the foot of Tianji Mountain, young master boil it again, and you can see the old gentleman and your senior brother when you go up the mountain!" ”

Hum! He wanted to see them! Zhuang Lin glanced at Leshui, who was smiling sharply, and stopped talking.

But in the next moment! With a whoosh, a long arrow passed through the intricate peony satin of the carriage curtains, and shot straight into the carriage, the sharp arrow pierced the air, and the arrow blade cut a trace of blood on the side face of Le Shui's laughter!

Boom! The arrow pierced into the inside of the carriage, and the black shaft was nailed straight to the cart and the mahogany!

"There are assassins!" Zhuang Lin, who was still listless just now, changed his sad face, and his serious eyes shone with a light that he had not seen before.

The guards pulled out their sabers at their waists and surrounded Zhuang Lin's carriage, slashing all the black arrows that came at them with a wave of their knives.

More than a dozen black-clothed people descended from all directions, Zhuang Lin stared at a trace of blood on Leshui's cheek with a solemn expression, and in an instant, the sound of blades intersecting sounded outside the carriage.

The light of the knife reflected the bright sun of the day, with a small shadow, and through the cracked silk of the car window, it told Zhuang Lin that the saber rattling outside the car was tense.

Xu had never encountered such danger, the little scholar Leshui was already so frightened that his legs trembled, and he looked at the young master with a frightened face, but he saw that his expression was extremely serious, but there was no trace of fear.

When did the young master become so calm?! Feeling that Leshui was in danger, he still had the heart to think nonsense......

The sound of hand-to-hand combat and slashing was really in his ears, Zhuang Lin clenched his fists, and his breathing deepened a little. The next moment, the man in black jumped into the carriage and slammed open the carved wooden door.

Leshui was so frightened that his teeth chattered, but he still stiffened his body and blocked Zhuang Lin behind him, only to see the sunlight shining in from outside the door in a flash, and the man in black couldn't see his face clearly when he stood in the backlight, but he clearly saw that Zhuang Lin, who was directly illuminated by the light, smiled at the moment, and saw him say faintly: "What are you afraid of?" ”

Before Le Shui could react to the young master's words, he heard the man in black suddenly groan, and then an extremely sharp sword pierced his body.

The man in black opened his eyes in disbelief, and slowly fell forward, Le Shui looked at the person behind him, and he was amazed by a pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tall posture like a pine, and a strong momentum like the sun, he was a young master!

The sound of swords colliding outside the window was dense and rapid, but for a moment, it was calm.

"Get out of the car!" Song Wang jumped out of the car, causing the whole carriage to sway.

Zhuang Lin looked at the cart and the black arrows that went up to the wood, sighed, grabbed a few pieces of osmanthus cake, and jumped out of the carriage.

Whether the carriage was too high, or too long to sit for a long time, Zhuang Lin was unsteady when he landed, and sat down with a buttocks. He thought he would fall firmly, but he didn't expect the place to fall soft, and when he looked down, he found that he was sitting on the corpse of a man in black!

"Ahh He hurriedly jumped up, looked up, and saw that there were a large number of people lying around him, and his guards, the men in black, were all lying horizontally and vertically.

Only, there are three people standing proudly among the corpses!

"Haha!" A clear laugh came from one person's mouth: "Second Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to forget to bring a piece of osmanthus cake when you ran for your life!" ”

The speaker smiled and smiled, and the sword in his hand reflected the blood, but a crescent white brocade robe was not stained with blood, and he saw that his posture was thin and straight, and his steps were gentle, like the Zhilan jade tree that has the essence of heaven and earth, and it is like the beautiful Kunlun jade that exudes brilliance, indescribably noble and elegant, and the light is beautiful and beautiful.

Zhuang Lin heard the ridicule of the fourth junior brother, Jun's face turned red, and he muttered in his mouth: "This is my favorite food!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Song Wang looked at the corpses all over the ground, and hurriedly urged Zhuang Lin: "You can't sit in the carriage, ride back to the mountain!" ”

After saying that, Eiji, who came out of nowhere, smiled and pulled out a brown horse and stood next to another man. I saw that the man was dressed in a dark brocade robe, with a long and jade body, heroic and heroic, and his eyebrows were filled with a very cold heart, and his bearing was terrifying.

Ying Riyao looked coldly at the token that Ying Yi took out from the black-clothed man on the ground, and said to the three people beside him, "It's Mao Fang's people." ”

Mao Fang? Song Wang raised his sword eyebrows after hearing this, looked at Zhuang Lin with some amusement and said, "When did my uncle provoke this person?" ”

Zhuang Lin also frowned suspiciously, picked up the osmanthus cake in his hand and took a bite, and said vaguely: "I don't know!" ”

"It's not too early, let's go up the mountain first!" Ying Riyao said to his senior brothers, and then ordered Yingwuwei to clean up, leaving no living people and no traces.

"Oops!" Zhuang Lin suddenly shouted, and the three senior brothers didn't know which tendon he had drawn, but they saw his eyes wide, and he picked up the brown horse that was given to him, and said anxiously: "I have to go home, I'm afraid that something will happen to my sister!" ”

Leshui, who was standing behind him, didn't know what to say, at this time, the old lady wished that the young master would go up the mountain to keep him safe, and rush home, wouldn't that be a rescue from his three senior brothers?

With a bang, before Leshui could open his mouth to dissuade him, Song Wang knocked Zhuang Lin unconscious with a knife, and the eagle threw him on the back of the horse like a chicken, let him lie down in a fixed position, and with a horse whip, the brown horse ran towards Tianji Mountain.

Ying Yanyang, who stood leisurely in the green forest, was still smiling, and under the handsome eyebrows, a tear mole showed infinite tenderness, only to hear him look at the figure running away, and said gently:

"Don't worry, Mao Fang doesn't dare." Ying Hui didn't dare!
