Because of Gao Yong's change, Ah Jiu and Lin Miao changed rooms, and stayed in the inn with Jixiang after nightfall.

In the middle of the night, the auspicious ears that were sleeping on the couch moved, sat up, picked up the sword placed next to him and went out.

The man in black rushed into the inn with a sword, ignored the men who were keeping vigil, and turned around and ran upstairs.

Seeing that the comer was menacing and holding a sword, the man was not a good person at first glance, and immediately rushed towards the backyard.

Jixiang and the Man in Black meet at the top of the stairs.

The man in black stabbed with his sword, and Ji Xiang did not avoid it, picked up the sword of the man in black, and then swept back the sword.

The two swords struck each other violently, and sparks could be seen bursting out in the dark night.

Puff, puff, puff.

The fight became more and more intense, and the man in black was unwilling to be trapped at the top of the stairs, and his sword became faster and faster.

The man in black behind the man in black found a gap, passed through the auspicious defense line, and ran directly towards the guest room.

They looked like they had done their homework, and after breaking away from the auspicious elbow, they immediately ran towards Ah Jiu and Chen Xiuling's room.

boom

Half of the door was kicked crooked, and the furnishings in the room and the swaying figures were faintly visible.

There was another bang, and the door was kicked down.

The man in black dodged in, but before he could find the figure, he cut his throat with a sword in the air, and fell straight down.

The man in black who followed behind was startled for a moment and retreated again and again.

The people in the room chased after him with swords, his moves were neat, and his figures were dancing.

Soon, the man in black who was fighting against him was killed by him.

He turned around in a dashing manner and asked into the room, "How?" Are you impressed with me? ”

The one who spoke was a handsome young man in an azure robe, looking at about twenty.

Before the young man's words fell, Ah Jiu in the room rolled his eyes and sneered: "It's still so stinky and shameless, what do you look at." ”

The two hadn't seen each other for three years, but when they said goodbye, it was as if they had never been separated.

Chen Xiuling covered her mouth and smiled, a streamer flashed in her eyes, it seems that her previous observation was not wrong, Du Ziteng, the third son of the Anguo Mansion, likes the ninth princess.

Pity...

Hey, Chen Xiuling sighed and didn't want to think about it.

Ah Jiu turned his head to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?" Sigh what? ”

Chen Xiuling smiled and shook her head, hoping that Du Ziteng would not die on the battlefield again in this life.

Just then, the sound of fighting outside the house stopped.

"Finished fighting?" Ah Jiu and Chen Xiuling glanced at each other, and hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out.

Outside the house, there were several corpses of people in black lying on the ground, dark red blood flowing everywhere.

Ah Jiu looked at the middle-aged man standing with Jixiang and said hello: "Second Uncle Du is good." ”

The middle-aged man known as Second Uncle Du is An Guogong's younger brother, named Du Zhenggang, who is forty-five this year.

Du Zhenggang is tall, with tough facial features, and he looks not angry and arrogant.

Seeing Ah Jiu, he hurriedly walked up to Ah Jiu and saluted: "The last will see the ninth princess." ”

Ah Jiu pursed his mouth, "Second Uncle Du, how many times have you said it, you don't need to salute me in private." ”

"Rites cannot be abolished, rites cannot be abolished." Du Zhenggang said and motioned for Du Ziteng to come over and salute.

Du Ziteng rolled his eyes, reluctantly walked up to Ah Jiu, and arched his hand: "The last general will also see the ninth princess." ”

"The last general?" Ah Jiu looked at Du Ziteng, "You have become a general?" ”

Du Ziteng straightened his chest and said proudly: "Your Majesty personally appointed the third-grade general." ”

"I can't see it," Ah Jiu said what he thought, and quickly asked, "By the way, why did you appear here?" ”

Du Ziteng glanced at his father Du Zhenggang cautiously, and said, "My father and I went to Padang County to pick up my eldest sister a few days ago, and Mo Hao told me that you are here, and there will be danger, so I came." ”

He originally wanted to come secretly, but his father caught him and came together.

Ah Jiu's eyes were a little moved, and he couldn't help but say: "Du Ziteng, you are so good, I will never laugh at your name again in the future." ”

Du Ziteng gritted his teeth, "If you really think I'm good, just call me Brother Ziteng, or Ziteng is fine, don't add Du." ”

Ah Jiu smiled, "Du Ziteng, haven't you grown up yet?" ”

The girl's bright smiling face was more dazzling than the candle flame, Du Ziteng lost his mind for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the scar on his face, and he asked angrily: "You, are you okay?" ”

This is what he wanted to ask before, in fact, he also wanted to add: Don't care about the scars on your face, you look good with or without scars.

"Me?" Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment, "It's good, I'm happy outside, I don't want to go back to Beijing." ”

Du Ziteng understood Ah Jiu's words because he didn't want to go back to Beijing and face the strange eyes of others.

After thinking for a while, he said: "If you go to the border with me, you don't have to go back to Beijing, there is a lot of sand and dust in the border pass, and women are masked when they go out." ”

Du Zhenggang slapped Du Ziteng's head, "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about?" ”

Ah Jiu raised his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

Du Ziteng lowered his head to hide the loss in his eyes.

…………

The next morning, everyone gathered outside the hut.

Lin Miao looked at the two extra people and asked, "Who are they?" ”

Ah Jiu put his arm around Lin Miao, "Second Uncle Du and Du Ziteng are trustworthy people. ”

"Stomach ache?" The corners of Lin Miao's mouth twitched, "Who gave you the name?" ”

Du Ziteng looked at his father Du Zhenggang with a look, and the meaning was obvious.

Du Zhenggang coughed, "It's the take-off, not the pain." ”

Everyone: "......"

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Ah Jiu said as Lalin Miao climbed into the wooden house.

The two sat down on the bed in the attic, and Ah Jiu asked, "Uncle Shi, your identity should be known, I should send you to Chunling City first and then set off for Beijing." ”

"You were assassinated last night?" Lin Miao asked.

Ah Jiu nodded: "The goal is very clear, it is your room, I came very late last night, and it is impossible for them to know that I am in the inn." ”

Lin Miao groaned, and said after a while: "What about the affairs of Qian'an County?" One more day will hurt one more person, we don't matter, there is Lu Feng, there are two Brother Chen. ”

"Then Lu Feng may also be infected with the virus you said, isn't it? I don't worry, otherwise, I'll let Jixiang follow you. "Ah Jiudao.

Lin Miao raised his hand, "Don't, your safety is more important," he said and thought for a while, and said, "Let Gao Yong Gundam follow me, anyway, Gao Yong will observe for a few months." ”

Ah Jiu nodded, and the two were speechless for a while.

After a while, Ah Jiu said cautiously: "Uncle Shi, if, if Lu Feng, really, what should you do?" ”

Lin Miao looked at Ah Jiu, her eyes slowly turned red, her voice choked, and said, "I don't know, I don't dare to think about it." ”

Ah Jiu stretched out his hand to hug Lin Miao, and the two were silent for a while.

After a while, Lin Miao cleaned up his mood, took a deep breath and said, "If it's true, I will definitely find a way to cure him." ”

Ah Jiu's mind flashed, and he said: "Uncle Shi, Master Pure Space is very powerful, when I return to Beijing, I will go and invite him to Chunling City for you." ”

"Isn't the Master of Clearance a fortune teller? What do you ask him to do? Give Lu Feng a hexagram? ”

"Master Clearance not only knows fortune telling, he can also cure strange diseases, Mo Hao was sick and dying when he was young, he was the one who cured it." Ah Jiu's words are chiseled.

Lin Miao frowned and asked, "Why is your nephew so sick that he is dying?" What kind of symptoms? ”

She doesn't believe in a fortune teller and sees a doctor.

"I was still young at the time, and I can't remember clearly, but I knew that I was really sick and dying, my mother was sick, and Sister-in-law Jing didn't eat or drink."

"Although I still don't believe it, but many people have more strength, so I'm sorry for you." Lin Miao said.

Ah Jiu said with a smile: "For the happiness of Uncle Shi, this trouble is nothing." ”

After the two finished speaking, they went downstairs, and everyone was still standing outside the wooden house.

Ah Jiu instructed: "Good luck, pack up the salute, we will set off first and go back to Beijing directly." ”

The two had no objection and acted separately.

Lin Miao originally wanted to take care of Gao Yong, a patient, and recuperate for two days before setting off, but when he turned around, he saw Gao Yong shouting at Lu Feng and Gao Gao to go into the mountains to hunt.

Angry, she immediately decided: "Pack your bags and set off immediately." ”

Half a month later, Lin Miao and the others finally arrived in Chunling City.

Chunling City in April is still a little cool, and cotton clothes are still worn on the body.

Chen Xiuling lifted the curtain and looked at the street scene outside, and said with infinite nostalgia: "I lived here for a while when I was a child, and there is a house in the alley in front of me that makes lo mein delicious." ”

Lin Miao turned her head to look outside with her, and sighed, "Chunling City is more prosperous than the city you passed before." ”

Chen Xiuling nodded: "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the four seasons are distinct, and many literati and artists live here. ”

"Literati? Isn't there often a poetry meeting, a calligraphy and painting conference or something like that? Lin Miao asked.

Chen Xiuling asked Lin Miao with a smile: "Do you want to participate?" ”

"What? Look down on me? Lin Miao glared at her dissatisfied.

Ye Qing and Ye Zi lowered their heads and laughed at the same time, their shoulders shaking.

Lin Miao pouted, "Okay, it's right for you to look down on me, I really don't know how to compose poetry." ”

Ye Qing raised her head, smiled all over her face, and said, "Girl, the slaves and maids didn't say that they looked down on you, the slaves and maids believe that as long as the girls are willing, they will definitely be able to make powerful poems." ”

She can't do it, but if you need to, it's okay to memorize a few songs.

Lin Miao thought so, but didn't say it.

"Miss, turn another corner and you'll go to Xie's Mansion, and you're going to wear your headdress." Ye Zidao.

Chen Xiuling nodded, and Ye Qing and Ye Zi quickly helped Chen Xiuling put on a headdress and tidy up her dress.

After a while, the carriage stopped, Lin Miao thought it was time to get off, and was about to lift the curtain, but the carriage walked again.

"Uncle Ma, haven't you arrived yet? Didn't you say you just turned a corner? Lin Miao asked the horse boss outside the carriage.

Boss Ma replied, "Girl, Xie Fu has arrived." ”

"Then why don't you stop?" Lin Miao lifted the small curtain of the car window and looked out, only to see their carriage walking around a house.

"Mr. Pei let me go through the back door, saying that there was a distinguished guest coming..."

Lin Miao looked at Chen Xiuling, saw that her face sank, reached out and shook her hand, and said, "I heard that Grandpa Chen's house is also from Chunling City, why don't we go to Grandpa Chen's house first." ”

Chen Xiuling didn't expect such treatment, and she was a little disappointed in her heart, and did not refuse Lin Miao's proposal.

Lin Miao lifted the curtain and said to Ma Lao Avenue: "Uncle Ma, go to Xinglin Lane in the east of the city, Chen Mansion." ”

The horse boss was surprised for a moment, hurriedly responded, turned the horse's head again, and walked away.

When the group came to Chen's mansion, the porter stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Lin Miao poked her head out and looked at the porter, she was about to report the name of Old Lady Chen, but she suddenly couldn't remember, so she retracted her head and asked, "Xiuling, what's Grandpa Chen's name?" ”

Chen Xiuling: "Doctor Chen's name is Chen Yonghe. ”

Lin Miao poked her head out again, "We are looking for Chen Yonghe, and we will say that Lin Yue is looking for him." ”

The porter was stunned for a while, and the master had just ordered that if a girl surnamed Lin was looking for it, he would immediately bring it in, but he didn't expect to find it so soon.

"Wait, little one open the door." The porter ran to open the door as he spoke, and then motioned for someone to go in and report.

Not long after, Lin Miao and his party were sitting in the main hall of the Chen family.

The uncle who led them in smiled and said, "The girls and sons will sit first, and the master will come soon." ”

After he said this, Old Lady Chen walked in, looked at Lin Miao and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Lin Miao glanced at Chen Xiuling and said, "I just thought about it and felt that it was inconvenient to live in other people's homes, so I wanted to ask Grandpa Chen to help us buy a yard, which we could move in immediately, and then sell it when we left." ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up and she said, "How about living in the old man's house?" You can come and go freely, and no one will control you. ”

"Who are you in your house?" Lin Miao asked.

If the population is simple, it can be considered.

"The old man's three sons..."

"Forget it." Lin Miao immediately refused.

"After listening to me, they are not in Chunling, and now there is my grandson and granddaughter-in-law in the house, you are the same age."

Lin Miao looked at Chen Xiuling and consulted her opinion.

At this moment, a man and a woman walked in, the man was somewhat similar to Mrs. Chen, thin and tall, with a big head, and the woman was delicate and slightly plump.

The two walked in front of the old lady Chen and saluted: "Grandson Chen Cheng/granddaughter-in-law Zhu has seen grandfather, I wish grandfather well." ”

Old Lady Chen nodded, "Have you studied hard?" ”

Chen Cheng was most afraid of being asked if he had studied well, so he shrunk his neck and said, "Yes, there is reading." ”

"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon..."

Chen Cheng was embarrassed and said: "Grandfather, there are guests here, can you take the school exam later..."

Old Lady Chen glared at him and stopped talking, which was considered to have let him go.

Chen Zhu smiled and said, "Why don't you notify your grandfather in advance when he returns, so that your father-in-law can pick you up." ”

"When you pick me up, you can read the book twice more." Mrs. Chen said.

Chen Cheng lowered his head in a daze, he had worked hard enough, but his grandfather was still not satisfied, and he really doubted that there would be no one in this world who would satisfy his grandfather.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and at this moment, more than a dozen maids in plain dresses walked in with refreshments, put down the refreshments, and stood aside.

Old Lady Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Zhu, tell your subordinates to clean up the Lingzhi Courtyard and the Beiqi Courtyard." ”

Chen Zhu hurriedly responded: "Yes, my daughter-in-law will order to go down." ”

Lin Miao: "......"

They haven't decided to stay here yet.

"That, Grandpa Chen, we haven't figured it out yet." Lin Miao looked at Old Lady Chen dissatisfied.

Chen Cheng and Zhu's jaws dropped in surprise, and the decision made by their grandfather was actually disgusted.

"Just stay at the old man's house, don't you want to check the rabies medical case?"
