Ouyang's family was not far from Shangjing, and they lived in seclusion in a place called Yougu.

It only takes seven days to travel from Shangjing to the valley, and the two of them traveled all the way to the valley, and it took ten days to reach the valley.

If the medical valley is a paradise, then the valley is a fairyland on earth.

Occasionally, cute animals run by among the green mountains and green waters, and they don't seem to be afraid of people at all. The entrance to the valley was guarded, and the two took out invitations before being released.

"Shevf, take these two to meet the eldest lady."

When the disciple guarding the entrance to the valley saw the invitation, he instructed the people around him. There was a bit of surprise in his eyes, there were many kinds of invitations from the Ouyang family, and each of the superiors had their own representative patterns on the invitations, and the invitations of the two little girls in front of him were actually from the hands of their eldest lady.

Thinking of the rumors that have been secretly spread by the Ouyang family these days, it can be seen that these two people are the protagonists of the rumors.

Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui naturally felt the scrutiny of the person in front of them, but neither of them spoke, nodded towards each other and followed a handsome young man to the valley.

Walking through a lush forest, the eyes suddenly open up. The long stone road winds all the way to the depths, and the scenery on both sides of the road is also very beautiful, and there is a feeling of being in the south of the Yangtze River.

I don't know how long I walked, but I saw a magnificent manor from a distance, simple and atmospheric.

A flash of surprise flashed in Lin Zhuohua's eyes, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart, worthy of being a hidden family. This manor seems to be a simple score, and every brick and tile available is a rare thing in the world, and the carved beams and painted pillars are all revealing the heritage of the hidden family.

They saw a lot of people along the way, and the gaze cast on them was inquiring, so that there was no unfriendly gaze.

Shevr glanced at the two people who followed him, they didn't speak all the way, and seeing that he was about to enter the mansion, he thought about it and reminded him.

"The Ouyang family has a total of three rooms, and the eldest lady is the eldest lady. Very much liked by the head of the family, you can be said to be very lucky to be valued by the eldest lady. Many of the younger generations of the Ouyang family want to worship the eldest lady as a teacher, but the eldest lady doesn't fancy any of them. Now that she has accepted the two of you as apprentices, I am afraid that the younger generation will have a bad opinion of you. ”

Lin Zhuohua was slightly surprised, the young man named Chevron hadn't spoken to them along the way, thinking that he didn't want to say more, but now there were some points in his words.

"Thank you for the reminder, we'll pay attention."

Xue Fu nodded, and then continued: "But you don't have to worry too much, the apprentice that the eldest lady likes must be extremely talented." As long as you can convince them, they won't do anything to you. The Ouyang family is heavy on martial arts, and it has always been believed that the strong are respected. ”

Feng Shuhui tilted her head and asked, "It's who is powerful, who speaks?" ”

Xue Fu nodded, with a bit of admiration in his eyes: "Now in Ouyang Mansion, the eldest lady's martial arts can be said to be the best." Even the head of the family said that if he gave the eldest lady another year or two, he would definitely surpass him. ”

Lin Zhuohua lowered his eyes when he heard this, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Everywhere is the weak and the strong, and the Ouyang family respects the strong, which is also a good rule. At least there will be less intrigue, not as good as those big families.

Soon they stopped in front of a courtyard, and Chevron knocked respectfully on the gate of the courtyard.

"Chevron asks to see Miss."

With a creak, the door opened from the inside. A kind-faced grandmother walked out, and when she saw Chevr and the two little girls behind him, she immediately understood that this was the disciple that the eldest lady had been waiting for this morning.

"Come in, the eldest lady gets up early in the morning and waits."

Mama took them in, walked through a small courtyard and entered the Hanging Flower Gate, and then went inside to see Ouyang Qianru standing in front of the house.

may be because she is at home today, she is wearing a water-green long skirt today, her hair is pulled up at will, and there is only a hosta hairpin in her hair, and the whole person is very elegant.

Hearing the footsteps, she turned to look at the comer, and when she saw her two little apprentices, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Shevr has seen the eldest lady." Chevron lowered his head slightly and saluted respectfully.

"Get up."

"The people have been brought, and the Snow Buddha will retreat first." Chevrette was very knowledgeable, and knew that the three masters and apprentices must have a lot to say, so he arched his hand and retreated.

"Miss, the old slave goes to the small kitchen to have a look, those snacks and tea will come over in a while, you and the two young ladies will go in first to talk."

Ouyang Qianru nodded: "Well, it's hard work for Mama Tang." ”

After speaking, he pulled the two of them to the main house, and asked the maids who were waiting around him to retreat.

"Master." The two of them screamed obediently.

Ouyang Qianru looked at the two of them, with a gentle smile on her face, reached out to hold the wrists of the two, and said after a while: "Yes, it seems that you have not been lazy during this time." ”

She is very satisfied with the current internal strength of the two, and compared with the younger generation of the Ouyang family, she can also rank in front. In this competition, they will definitely get good results.

"You should be curious why I called you here this time, right?"

She poured the tea herself, pushed it in front of the two of them, and took a sip of the teacup herself.

The two shook their heads, and the person who came to deliver the invitation did not say what it was for. So the two of them didn't know what they were here for.

"The Ouyang family pays attention to martial arts, so a competition is held every three years. Those who win the top ten will receive the best resource training of the Ouyang family, and I have not accepted apprentices in previous years, so I did not participate. Now that I've accepted the two of you, you're going to participate in this year's competition. ”

Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui glanced at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that this time they came to participate in the competition of the younger generation of the Ouyang family.

"The martial arts of the Ouyang family have not been passed on, but there are special circumstances, most of the younger generation are children of the Ouyang family, and a few of them are collected outside like you. But you don't have to worry about being ostracized, as long as you are stronger than them, you can convince them. ”

The three masters and apprentices were talking, when a soft knock on the door sounded, and Mama Tang's voice came from outside.

"Miss, the tea and snacks are ready."

Ouyang Qianru let Mama Tang in, then put the tea and snacks on the table, and removed the previous tea. Then Mama Tang also retreated with great interest, and closed the door by the way.

"I hope you can enter the top ten this time, the resources of the Ouyang family are very important to you. The Ouyang family has a special training place, and only the top ten can enter. Those who come out of there will be a great improvement in martial arts, especially people like you and Shuhui who have no actual combat experience, and they can get a good experience there. ”

"Top ten?"

Feng Shuhui looked at her master in a daze, they have only been learning the mental method with the master for a long time, can they really achieve the top ten results? It's not that she is not confident, but the Ouyang family has always advocated martial arts, and these people have been learning since birth, and they are definitely different from them who are halfway monks.

Ouyang Qian knocked on Feng Shuhui's head like a violent shudder, and snorted arrogantly.

"If you don't have confidence, you'll be discouraged before you even start the competition. As my apprentice, your talent is absolutely the best. There is also the mental method I gave you, as long as you keep training according to the content I have set for you, it will not be difficult to enter the top ten. ”

Feng Shuhui rubbed her head and didn't dare to speak. She always felt that the master in the Ouyang family and the gentleman in the academy seemed to be two people.

"In the next period of time, the teacher will conduct special training for you, go to rest today, I have asked people to arrange a place for you to live, which is in my courtyard."

Her yard was large enough to arrange adjoining rooms for the two of them. And it's not far from her main house, just a few minutes' walk away.

"You each brought maids, but they are not familiar with the Ouyang family. The first-class maids next to me will give each of you a share, if there is anything you need to tell Mama Tang, and if you have any other instructions, let them do it. ”

Saying that, she called her two big maids, Yunting and Yunyu, Yunting arranged for Lin Zhuohua to be by Lin Zhuohua's side, and Yunyu was arranged to Feng Shuhui's side.

"Alright, let's take the two young ladies down to rest. At lunchtime, the teacher will ask someone to call you over. "Zero-One Reading Network

The two nodded, and then followed the maid away.

Their house was not far from the main house, and they arrived in a short time. The furnishings in the room are all made according to their personal preferences, which shows that they have used their hearts to warm their hearts.

In the main courtyard of the Ouyang family, an old man with gray hair stood by the window at this time. Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, he didn't look back, and asked lightly.

"They're coming?"

"Well, I'm already in my sister's yard."

If Lin Zhuohua was here at this time, he would definitely recognize the person who spoke was the man who sent Lin Zhuohua's post, that is, Ouyang Fanyue, Ouyang Qianru's fourth brother.

"What do you think of those two children?"

The head of the Ouyang family turned around and sat down on the chair behind the table. Raised his hand to pour tea, pushed it in front of his son, and poured himself another cup.

"It looks good, especially the little girl of the Lin family, her five senses are very sensitive. I had already breathed in that day, and she even noticed it. And in the face of danger, he led me into a hidden alley without hurrying. ”

Ouyang Fanyue had a bit of appreciation in his eyes, if it wasn't for his sister to start first, he thought that if he met that little girl, he was afraid that he would also receive people to be taught by his side.

"Your sister's vision has always been extremely high, and it must be good to be favored by her." The head of the Ouyang family smiled slightly, knowing that his daughter had taken in an apprentice outside, he was very surprised. After the news got out, those juniors were about to explode. They all wanted Qianru to be accepted as an apprentice, but unfortunately none of them could get into her eyes.

"Look, it's going to be a lot of fun. I heard that the second brother's Ziqiao was very curious about those two people, and threatened to make those two little girls look good this time. ”

Speaking of Ziqiao, a flash of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the head of the Ouyang family: "That girl was spoiled by your second sister-in-law, and she had a good talent." can be touted since childhood, and he has become more and more arrogant. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be scrapped. ”

Ouyang's family has a total of three rooms, the big room and the third room are the concubines, and the second rooms are the concubines. The big ranking Ouyang Fan jumped four. He has three elder brothers in front of him, but among the three elder brothers, the eldest brother and the second brother belong to the second uncle's family, and the third brother belongs to the fourth uncle's family. Ouyang's family is prosperous and yang, and there is only one girl, Ouyang Qianru, so she is very favored. Ouyang Qianru is the oldest among the girls, but she is at the bottom of the big ranking. He also has five younger brothers behind him, the sixth and seventh brothers are the concubines of the second uncle's family, and the eighth brother, the ninth brother and the tenth brother are the concubines of the third uncle's family.

"Ziqiao was also Yuxue cute when she was a child, but her temperament is indeed a little too arrogant when she grows up." Ouyang Fanyue sighed, Ziqiao has been said by many people to be the most like Qianru since she was a child. She also thought that she would become Qianru's apprentice, but who would have thought that Qianru would accept someone outside as an apprentice, Ziqiao exploded when she knew the news.

"Hmph, it's not that your second sister-in-law's heart is big now."

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Ouyang family master, which showed that he was very displeased with that person.

Ouyang Fanyue sighed in his heart, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. This is the second brother's business, and they can't interfere in anything.

"Okay, let's not mention that family. I don't know when your sister brought someone over to show me, it's as good as you say. "The head of the Ouyang family didn't bother to pay attention to the second family in the second room, and they all looked at the top.

"Then it depends on my sister's own meaning."

The father and son talked for a while, and someone came to report the matter to the head of the Ouyang family, and Ouyang Fanyue left the study.

Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui didn't know that their arrival had attracted the attention of several rooms of the Ouyang family.

Border Pass, Long Rui.

Li Zeyi looked at the dark gray clothes on his body, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Hua Xiren couldn't help but smile, leaned over to him and said, "This dress is really not very good, the fabric is a little prickly, but let's bear with it." ”

Li Zeyi glanced at him, didn't say anything, and walked out of the house to take a shift. Now the twenty of them were divided into ten groups, and they guarded the courtyard of the Dragon Rui King in shifts in groups of two.

This was so convenient for him to listen to some news, and although he could not get close to the study, he could only watch from the courtyard, and his ears were excellent, and he could still hear clearly unless they lowered their voices.

I don't know if King Long Rui is too confident or what, many times when discussing things in the study, their voices are not deliberately lowered, but they are not very loud.

Today happened to be his turn to be on duty, and when the two of them arrived at the courtyard of King Longrui, they happened to see a man wearing a mask walking into the study.

The two glanced at each other, a flash of surprise in their eyes. According to the information they found out, the person wearing the mask was most likely Ziyu Gongzi. But shouldn't that Ziyu prince be in Jingguo? Why did you get to Longrui so quickly?

The two of them found a big tree underneath, and after standing still, Hua Xiren asked in a low voice, "Shouldn't Ziyu Gongzi be in Dajing at this time?" Even if you come to Longrui, I'm afraid it's only halfway at this time, right? ”

Li Zeyi's narrow peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He closed his eyes slightly, and made a silent gesture for the flower attacker.

They were under the tree not far from the study, and it was so quiet that he could faintly hear the conversation inside as long as he could concentrate. But this time he didn't really hear it, because they deliberately lowered their voices in some places.

Ying Ting's brows furrowed tightly, and after a moment he opened his eyes.

"How's that for what they say?"

Li Zeyi shook his head: "They lowered their voices and talked, but they didn't really listen." ”

Hua Xianren sometimes thinks that Li Zeyi is a god, and he can hear the conversation inside from such a distance, is his ear a tailwind?

As the two spoke, the door to the study was pushed open. King Long Rui personally sent people out, with a hearty smile on his face, and it seemed that they were having a good conversation.

Looking at the figure of the two leaving, Li Zeyi's gaze kept falling on the man with the mask, a flash of inquiry flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he smiled coldly.

"That person is not Ziyu Gongzi."

"How do you know?" Hua Raider asked with some surprise, he couldn't see his face clearly with a mask, was he so sure?

"Well, I've seen the Purple Jade Prince." He lowered his eyes slightly, two days ago, he had already confirmed the news that Ning Yuanbo was the son of Ziyu. Over the years, he has arranged a stand-in for him over there, and he has developed his power as a purple jade son, and now he has let him develop a large force.

If my father knew, I am afraid that he would feel that he was raising a tiger.

"Have you ever seen Purple Jade Child?" Hua Xianren's eyes widened, they had been together all this time, how could he not know when he had met Ziyu Gongzi?

"Well, you don't need to ask more, just know that person is not Ziyu Gongzi. This doesn't conflict with our plan, so keep your expression in check so that you don't find out if something is wrong. ”

Hua Xiren immediately shut up and nodded: "Well, I know." ”

When King Long Rui returned, he saw two straight people standing in the shade of the tree, probably because he was in a good mood, he stepped over.

"It's nothing to do today, go back and rest. In addition, today is a holiday for you, so you can go out for a walk. I heard that you are not from Longrui's side, you can take a look and understand our Longrui's customs. ”

"My subordinates have thanked King Longrui."

The two hurriedly saluted and thanked him, with a flattered look on their faces.

King Long Rui laughed and patted the shoulders of the two: "You two are very good, keep it up, this king will not treat you badly." ”

Watching the two leave, the smile on the corner of King Long Rui's mouth gradually disappeared. During this time, he had been secretly staring at these two people, and there was really nothing suspicious. They never wander around anywhere, and they only go back to their houses to rest after their shifts. Even rarely leave the mansion, don't chat with others, or inquire about some news, and only do their own thing.

Observe for a while, if it is still like this, you can transfer to the side.

Li Zeyi and Hua Xianren returned to their room, and as soon as they sat down, they saw Tianle suddenly appear.

Hua Xiren twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are not afraid of being discovered." ”

This is the Longrui Palace, and there must be a lot of secret guards around here. If Tianle is discovered, their plan is over.
