"This year's peach blossoms have fallen early!" In the peach forest, the old man walked alone until he stopped at the most inconspicuous place in the peach forest, where a pink sachet hung on a peach tree, the sachet was exquisitely made, with a golden silk edge, and there was a word 'Shu' on the front, which was entangled by a dragon, and there was a phoenix flying behind it.

"What I did was right or wrong!" The old man looked at the sachet and was talking to himself. "Over the years, Liancheng has not been in contact with the outside, but I understand her thoughts! If I hadn't restrained her all these years, maybe she wouldn't be so tempted by a person today, Liancheng's mind is still too simple, I did something wrong! The old man sat cross-legged on the ground and looked up at the sachet, "But the person she is tempted by is the Western Chu royal family, is this what God is destined?" The old man fumbled around his body for a while, took out a small bag from his clothes, and when he opened it, there were three tortoise shells inside, and it seemed that he had been on his body for a long time.

"I don't worry about Liancheng, I swore that I would not use this thing in my life, but today, I want to move it!" After the old man finished speaking, he grabbed the tortoise shell, and between the waves of his hands, the tortoise shell seemed to be invisibly controlled, automatically rotating in the air, and the peach petals around the old man also floated up from the ground, and the sachet on the peach tree shook gently.

"Poof" peach blossoms spread out, and three tortoise shells fell to the ground. The old man looked at it for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "It might be better for Liancheng to go with him!" After saying that, the old man stood up, put the tortoise shell on his body, and said to the sachet, "Perhaps, I will see you soon!"

Liancheng sat in the courtyard, dragging his head, and his mind didn't know where he flew.

"Girl, what do you want!" The old man sat down in front of Liancheng and looked at him with a smile.

"Grandpa, why are you here!" Liancheng panicked for a moment, like a little girl who had been found a secret.

"I see you sitting motionless, like you're thinking about someone!" The old man's words made Liancheng's face blush. "Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Liancheng's tone was a little strange.

"Girl, I know you're thinking about that Chu Ge, and you've long wanted to go outside to take a look, Chu Ge appeared at the right time, maybe he can take you outside!" The old man's tone today made Liancheng a little unfamiliar, this was not like a grandfather who had been drunk and inconsequential.

"Grandpa, ...... you" Liancheng didn't know why the old man knew her thoughts, but she didn't think much about it, she just sighed: "Chu Ge has left here today, I don't know when the next time I will come!"

"Sure enough, the woman didn't stay!" The old man looked at Liancheng with a smile. "Girl, don't worry, he will definitely come today, if he comes, I will allow you to go out with him to see and see, the outside world, you should also learn about it!" After the old man's words were finished, Liancheng's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Really?"

"Can Grandpa still lie to you? Young people should go out and break through, the outside world is still very exciting! The old man smiled, but Liancheng was a little reluctant in his heart, "Then I'm leaving, what should you do?" And Chu Ge has already left! ”

"Haha, girl, it's not in vain that grandpa raised you so big!" The old man's tone was quite proud, "Don't worry, I have always seen people well, he will definitely come!" ”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Lian Cheng got up and said, "I'll prepare you an afternoon meal!" Looking at Liancheng's back, the old man's eyes were full of reluctance.

As if verifying the old man's words, not long after, someone came to Taohuawu, it was Chu Ge!

"Uncle, Chu Ge is leaving today, so I came here to say goodbye!" Chu Ge gestured towards the old man. "Don't be so restrictive!" The old man stood up and said to Chu Ge, "Don't disturb Liancheng first, you and I come!" ”

Chu Ge followed the old man to the house, and the old man suddenly looked at Chu Ge with sharp eyes and said, "Do you like Liancheng!"

"I ......" Chu Ge suddenly stopped, he didn't expect the old man to suddenly ask like this. If Liancheng is hurt one day, will you save her! The old man continued to ask. Of course, I'm not going to let Liancheng get hurt! Chu Ge said without thinking. If you let Liancheng go out with you, will you protect her! The old man said at once. Of course! As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, he suddenly paused, "Wait, you said Liancheng is with me?" ”

"Yes, Liancheng has grown up, she likes the outside world, this Qinghe County is too small and not suitable for her! So I hope you can take her out to see her this time, don't you just like Liancheng? The old man's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and Chu Ge didn't dare to look at him for a while.

"Liancheng her, what do you mean!" Chu Ge said.

"Liancheng is waiting for you, you are here after all!" The old man turned his back and said, "I need you to promise me that you will go out and protect the city!"

When Chu Ge heard this, he immediately said: "I, Chu Ge, now promise you that I will not let Liancheng be harmed in the slightest!" After Chu Ge's words were finished, the old man smiled with relief, "The guarantee of the Nine Emperors of Western Chu, the old man still believes it!" ”

"How do you know who I am!" The old man's words made Chu Ge's spirit tense instantly.

"Don't be nervous!" The old man pointed to the jade pendant hanging from Chu Ge's waist and said, "How can ordinary people wear such a precious jade ornament, besides, this jade ornament is coiled with dragons and phoenixes, it is not a royal family of a country, even a businessman who is a person who is through the sky can't get it!" And although the old man has lived here for a long time, there are nine princes of Western Chu, and the name of Chu Ge, the youngest and most fond of sightseeing, is still known! ”

The old man's words made Chu Ge feel that he was not an ordinary person, but there was nothing wrong with the old man's words!

"You don't have to worry too much, I'm just an old man in his twilight years, and the future world belongs to you young people!" The old man patted Chu Ge's shoulder with his hand, "Take good care of Liancheng, I'll hand her over to you!" ”

"Well, definitely!" Chu Ge could feel the old man's mood and nodded solemnly!

"Let's get out!" The old man was the first to leave the house and shouted, "Liancheng, look who is coming!"

Liancheng, who heard the voice, walked out of the stove room, and saw Chu Ge behind the old man at a glance, she was overjoyed, but she only said one sentence, "You're here!" ”

"I'm coming!" Chu Ge responded simply.

"You young man!" The old man couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly to Liancheng: "Don't you always want to go outside with Chu Ge to have a look, no, he's here, I told Chu Ge, he will take you out, he will come to pick me up in a year, I will take care of this peach blossom this year, here, I still need me for the time being!"

The old man's words Chu Ge did not refute, Lian Cheng looked at Chu Ge, and Chu Ge nodded.

"Great, grandpa!" Liancheng looked at Chu Ge, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons!

"Okay, girl, hurry up and clean up, and leave with Chu Ge, it's not early!" The old man urged.

"Grandpa, the meal is not good yet!" Liancheng pointed to the stove room. "No need, you rush to the next city, the road is long, go early, it's not safe at night!" The old man patted Liancheng, "The rice will be cooked after a while, don't take this rice out of the pot, grandpa will do it himself in a while!" ”

"Grandpa!" Liancheng suddenly choked up a little, and was about to leave, he was so reluctant!

"Go ahead, clean up, don't make Chu Ge wait for a long time! Unless you really don't want to go out, and Grandpa doesn't want you to stay bored in this place for the rest of your life! Under the urging of the old man, Liancheng went to pack up his things!

"Grandpa Lian, in fact, you don't have to be in such a hurry!" Chu Ge said to the old man, if this is heard by outsiders, he will definitely put on a disrespectful hat for the old man, and let the prince of a country call him grandpa, who can afford this! But at this moment, the old man can bear it, and Chu Ge doesn't mind!

"Let's go early, the sorrow will only increase the sadness, this is not a life and death parting!" When the old man said the words life and death, Chu Ge had a strange feeling in his heart. Don't look at his love of sightseeing, in terms of talent and affairs, he is the most outstanding of all the princes, so at this time, he is very sensitive to the old man's words, like a premonition!

Liancheng didn't take much of the things, and soon packed them up, and when he left, Liancheng's eyes were red, and the old man touched her head and said, "It's the same as when I was a child, I love to cry my nose, and I can't do it in the future!" After Liancheng nodded heavily, the old man laughed and waved to them!

"Farewell!" Chu Ge bowed towards the old man, and left with Liancheng, leaving the peach blossom dock where she grew up, and the peach forest!

"Peach blossom drunk, intoxicating, drink and go!" After the old man left Liancheng, his hands trembled a little, and then he sat alone at the table, took out the cooked rice, poured the wine glass full, and drank it all, and there was no crisp complaint in his ears!

And the beacon fire in the wine shop, suddenly a clever, threw down the tools in his hand, and ran to the peach blossom dock!
