Chapter 55, Laiyang is coming
Xiao Yuanqi was silent, in fact, in a sense, what Xiao Pingjing said was also right? Isn't it just rolling around here with a sword? It's just that he didn't mean it, but someone took it off. has been friends with Xiao Pingjing for many years, he still knows him, Xiao Pingjing didn't believe his excuses at all, but he didn't ask questions, and even those words were mostly ridiculed and ridiculed, not really ridiculed.
I couldn't tell whether I wanted Xiao Pingjing to ask or not, but looking at the flying smiling face, my heart suddenly tingled. Restrained his emotions and didn't show the slightest hint, Xiao Yuanqi gently patted the dust on his body, and asked slowly: "Pingjing, is there something wrong with you coming to me?" ”
Xiao Yuanqi's question reminded Xiao Pingjing of Xiao Pingzhang and Lin Xi who were still outside the door, and quickly patted his head and said, "Not only am I here, but the eldest brother and Lin Xi are also here, just outside the door." ”
Xiao Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Brother Pingzhang is also here?" ”
He hurriedly ran to the gate and personally opened the door that had not been opened for a long time, and saw Xiao Pingzhang, who was dressed in white and smiled gently, and Lin Xi, who was still indifferent but did not refuse people. When he met Xiao Pingzhang's gentle eyes, Xiao Yuanqi suddenly felt a shrunk in his heart, which was clearly inclusive of gentleness, but he felt that everything he had seemed to fall into those eyes. Quickly lowered his eyelids and looked away, Xiao Yuanqi stepped aside and said, "Ping...... Brother Pingzhang, Miss Lin, come in. ”
Xiao Pingzhang signaled Lin Xi to advance with his eyes, and Lin Xi knew that he had something to say, so he greeted Xiao Yuanqi with a slight bow, and went in alone.
Xiao Pingzhang and Xiao Yuanqi walked side by side, and he asked gently: "Yuanqi, you have been filial piety for more than a year, are you okay these days?" ”
The corners of Xiao Yuanqi's eyes were slightly sour, his fingers moved, and he pretended to be calm: "Thank you Brother Pingzhang for your concern, and you can still keep filial piety for your mother, which is already very good." ”
Xiao Pingzhang stopped to look at him, and gently tidied up the clothes that were still a little messy for him, picked off the grass leaves that had not been patted off, straightened the crown of his hair, and said slowly: "Yuan Qi, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me or Pingjing, you are also my Xiao Pingzhang's younger brother, I only hope that you and Pingjing can be well." ”
Xiao Yuanqi was in a trance, and no one except his mother had dressed him over the years. Brother Pingzhang is really a very gentle person. No wonder even if he is not the eldest brother, the brotherly relationship between Pingjing and him is still the same, and he is not resentful because Brother Pingzhang occupies his position, and he is at ease to be his second son of Changlin, and he can still think of going to the rivers and lakes with Lin Xi in the future.
He thought a lot, and when he heard Xiao Pingzhang's words, he nodded in confusion and replied, "I will." ”
Xiao Pingzhang looked at the long sword in Uncle Tai's hand and asked, "Is Yuan Qifang practicing swords?" ”
Like a basin of ice water poured down, Xiao Yuanqi instantly sobered up, he can be regarded as knowing Xiao Pingzhang, he is thoughtful, and his mind is terrifying. Last time, in order to gain Xiao Pingzhang's trust, Xiao Yuanqi burned four pages of the seven-page suicide note left by his mother, and all the words he confessed to him were true, even the content of the burned suicide note, according to him, strictly speaking, it was not a lie, but he didn't say anything specific, what he concealed was Puyang Ying's transaction with him and the matter of the Marquis of Mozi.
Even so, he still felt that Xiao Pingzhang had doubts in his heart, and he did not fully trust him, after all, the suicide note was given to him by Pu Yangying, so Xiao Pingzhang couldn't guess the content of the incomplete suicide note. Xiao Pingzhang rarely comes here, so why did he come suddenly?
Thinking of Mozi Hou, Xiao Yuanqi was a little uneasy, did Xiao Pingzhang find something and come here? Of course, he knew that Mozi Hou had bad intentions, but after all, he really taught him his skills, so although they did not have the name of master and apprentice, they had the reality of master and apprentice, and he really couldn't do such a thing as selling people with the right feet to learn the skills of the front foot and sell people on the back foot.
Putting aside this meager relationship, he actually really hated Mozi Marquis to the bone, no matter how wrong his mother did, it was also the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and she never felt sorry for him. If he has the ability, he really wants to raise his sword and kill him to avenge his mother, but this is too difficult to do, Langya is at the top of the master list, what an unattainable distance.
Xiao Yuanqi knew that the Marquis of Mozi despised him, and knew that he would endure to call his uncle and learn his martial arts in order to avenge the defeat of him in the future, but he still dared to teach him his true skills like this, which was to firmly believe that he would never defeat him Marquis Mozi one day. The taste of being stepped on in the muddy dust is too uncomfortable, but he has to fight with the tiger, if people find out, how will they look at him?
Now with such a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts, Xiao Yuanqi is extremely uneasy, if this question is not answered well, then I am afraid that he will completely lose Xiao Pingzhang's trust in the future, and even the only warmth of Changlin Wangfu will be lost. Xiao Yuanqi stepped forward for a while, not sure what to say, and only after his face changed a few times did he open his mouth and say, "Yes, yes." Practicing swords. ”
He glanced at Xiao Pingzhang's face, hesitated, and then gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind: "Someone taught me to learn, and I learned." ”
After that, Xiao Yuanqi waited for Xiao Pingzhang's question. However, Xiao Pingzhang didn't ask who that person was, just like an elder brother who cared about his younger brother, and still asked gently: "How are you learning?" ”
This unreasonable move made Xiao Yuanqi stunned, I don't know what kind of medicine Xiao Pingzhang sells in this gourd, could it be that he thinks too much, Xiao Pingzhang really suddenly thinks about caring about him? Then he thought of his previous embarrassment, his face flushed, and he replied, "I have just started learning, and I have been wrestling." ”
"It's a little harder when you first learn, so you don't have to be ashamed." Xiao Pingzhang took the long sword from Uncle Tai's hand, looked at the appearance in front of him, and flicked the sword body lightly with his fingers, and said calmly: "The quality of this sword is not very good, but it is enough for beginners." You practice hard, and when I go back to my house, I will find a suitable one for you. ”
"That's not good, is it?" Does Xiao Pingzhang really care about him? Xiao Yuanqi became more and more strange, but he still couldn't help but slip into a warm current in his heart, he shook his head slightly and said: "How can I let Brother Pingzhang break the bank, I also learned it without anything, and I don't think about the day when I come out of the sword, the sword is humiliated in my place." ”
"There is a three-foot sword in the heart, and there is always a time to unsheath. Heaven favors those who are always prepared. Xiao Pingzhang said this very definitely, not like comfort, but like narrating the facts, he smiled and said: "Yuan Qiyuan is willing to practice two moves, let me take a look with you?" ”
There is a three-foot sword in the heart, is there always a time to unsheath? ?
Xiao Yuanqi looked at the gentle and elegant person in front of him in a daze, there were two villains in his heart, one said that Xiao Pingzhang really cared about him and encouraged him, and the other said that this was to test him and set out the swordsmanship he had learned, so as to determine the identity of the person who taught him. The two villains have their own reasons, and no one can convince anyone. For a while, he didn't know whether to practice or refuse.
