Chapter 453: Into the Peach Mansion
The little peach in front seemed to hear Chu Nian's voice, and his footsteps paused slightly for a moment, and then he recovered his speed, but this was enough for Chu Nian to narrow the distance between him and the little peach a little, seeing that the little peach had no intention of stopping, Chu Nian frowned and continued to whip quickly.

I don't know if this road is intentional or not, the mountain road that should be taken Xiao Peach has never walked, all the way along the official road, but Chu Nianhao chased some, so you chased me away for a day and a night, and the little peach finally stopped in front of a deep mountain intersection.
Seeing this, Chu Nian gently stroked the neck of the horse that was already tired and weak under his crotch, and when he got off the horse, he saw that Xiao Taozi seemed to hesitate and turned his head to look at Chu Nian not far away.
Chu Nian breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly took a few steps forward, and Xiao Taozi suddenly said with a stubborn face: "Don't think you can persuade me, I'm just afraid that you will chase me into this deep mountain again - my Tao family has set up guards in this deep mountain, if you encounter danger, I am afraid that my brother will blame me." β
It seems that he didn't expect that Xiao Taozi was actually thinking about himself, a trace of surprise flashed in Chu Nian's eyes, but he still took a few steps forward, and still had no intention of leaving, seeing this, Xiao Taozi hurriedly said before Chu Nian spoke: "I said, don't persuade me, now that the elders are doing such a thing to my brother, I have to ask them to give my brother an explanation, at least hand over the antidote." β
Looking at the pair of beautiful big eyes flashing a little stubborn, he frowned without a trace, but he didn't expect that the little peach saw Chu Nian's tightly knit brows, thinking that she was angry, and even took the first step to blow up and said: "I know that my behavior is childish, in the eyes of you and my brother, I am a child, and you don't want to think that I act impulsively......"
"I've never felt like you're impulsive."
Xiao Taozi's face was stunned, and when he raised his eyes, he wrote sincere eyes to Chu Nian, seeing the accident in Xiao Taozi's eyes, Chu Nian smiled lightly and said: "I'll go with you, if they refuse to give us the antidote today, we will turn them upside down together." β
"He's your brother, but he's also my best friend." Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly and looked at the little peach, and his red lips opened lightly, "What you do is indeed impulsive, but sometimes, impulsiveness may not be a good thing." β
When these words fell, I saw Xiao Taozi raise her head and look at Chu Nian, who was half a head taller than herself, and said softly: "I seem to appreciate you a little." β
Chu Nian smiled lightly, and turned his eyes to look at the high mountain in front of him, this high mountain towered into the sky, as if all the hidden families liked to do this, in front of them was a path that winded up the mountain, surrounded by tall trees, these trees that were not short last year seemed to form the first natural garrison somewhere on this high mountain.
Just as Chu Nian sighed in his heart, the little peach on the side took a few steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Chu Nian, "I temporarily admit you as a friend, but after taking the antidote for my brother, you are still my rival." β
Hearing this, Chu Nianzheng looked at him with some surprise, and saw Xiao Taozi take the lead in walking towards the path, "You can hurry up, if you can't keep up and get lost later, I don't care!" β
Seeing that pretending to be heroic, Chu Nian couldn't help laughing, and after a while, he strode after him.
β¦β¦
In the room, there was a weak person on the couch, at this moment he was staring blankly at the roof of the shed, a pair of peach blossom eyes faintly flashed a little complicated light, and there was a cold moonlight outside the window, which made the person on the couch look a little lonely.
At this time, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in, and the person on the couch instantly looked sideways, and his voice revealed a little helplessness, "Are you here to ask the teacher?" β
Walking in was a tall and slender figure, his black hair casually draped behind him, an ink-colored robe, and a thin snow seemed to be on his shoulders.
Ming Xiu looked sideways slightly, looked at Tao Jinyan on the couch, his narrow eyes flickered slightly, and he saw that he calmly closed the door with a little cold wind, turned around, walked slowly to the table, and unceremoniously poured tea for himself, "No, you don't want to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." β
Tao Jinyan on the couch raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a while, he seemed to remember that his current state really couldn't beat the man in front of him, so he smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "Then what are you doing here?" See me jokes? β
Ming Xiu raised his eyes, his gaze swept over Tao Jinyan, he lowered his head, and while bringing the tea cup to his mouth, he said: "Nian'er sent someone back to send a message to Gu, saying that Gu looked at you, don't ask you to do something stupid." β
Hearing this, Tao Jinyan raised his eyes with some surprise, and saw Ming Xiu's serious side face, he frowned slightly, and after a while, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "What happened before...... Thank you so much, I heard Chu Nian say it. β
Ming Xiu's subordinates paused for a moment, and then continued to calmly put the tea cup into his mouth, warm the tea, and then he frowned and said, "You're welcome, the favor that should be repaid, you will return it in the future." β
I thought that Tao Jinyan would be as angry as before, but the pale man on the couch only frowned slightly, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid it's terrible, if I die in the future, who do you find to repay your favor?" β
Hearing this, he saw that Ming Xiu's face sank, and he saw him raise his head, his thin lips pursed, "I wasted so much effort to save my life, you said you don't want it?" β
When the words fell, Tao Jinyan's face was stunned, he looked sideways at Ming Xiu, and his eyes became more and more surprised, "I thought you would look forward to my death, so that no one would haunt Chu Nian anymore." β
"I said that you are a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain." Of course, Ming Xiu put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked at Tao Jinyan seriously, "Lone was also looking forward to your disappearance sooner, so Lone would have no opponent, but you have been lying on the couch sickly for the past few days, and Lone feels that the days without opponents are quite boring." β
Tao Jinyan frowned, Ming Xiu spoke again, his narrow eyes fixed on a corner of nothingness in the darkness, his eyes flashed slightly, "Besides, she doesn't want you to die, if you die, she will be sad." β
When these words fell, Tao Jinyan's face was pale.
The atmosphere fell silent, and for a long time, I heard a sigh from the darkness, which was filled with three points of sadness and five points of regret, and the remaining two points of reluctance, "If I go through this world, I can get her to give up, and I will live a good life." β
The empty window was blown open by the wind, and a cold wind poured in, mixed with patches of withered snowflakes.
Ming Xiu saw Tao Jinyan, who was slightly shrunken, got up expressionlessly, and re-covered the window, how could the wind and frost be too urgent, and the sharp brows seemed to be dyed with a few pieces of light snow, he looked sideways at Tao Jinyan, and his eyes were still serious.
"Lone doesn't want her to remember you, so you better not die so easily."
β¦β¦
Because of the existence of the little peach, Chu Nian, the hidden guard in the forest, didn't see any of them, until the forest gradually thinned out, and the two big words "Taofu" were revealed not far away, and the little peach stopped, took a deep breath, and turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, with a serious expression.
"When you go in later, don't talk first, leave everything to me, if there is a fight...... You can do me another favor. β
Seeing the ruin on the little peach's face, Chu Nian couldn't help but shake his head, and nodded again: "Okay, I will listen to you." β
Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the little peach's eyes, and at this stall, Fang just walked towards the door, and it happened that the woman dressed as a maid slowly walked out of the door, and saw the little peach beside Chu Nian, the maid's face was stunned, "Lady, why are you back?" Didn't you say that you went through the training with the young master? β
Little Peach looked at the girl with a serious face, "What about the third elder grandfather?" β
"The three elders should be in the study at this time......
"Take me to see the third grandfather, I want to gather the elders and discuss important matters."
Seeing the perseverance in the little peach's eyes, the little maid seemed to be shaking for a moment, and even her face was happy, "The lady finally wants to take care of the house." β
Xiao Taozi ignored her, took Chu Nian's hand and walked towards the door, feeling the softness coming from his hand, Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, this stall, the maid followed, looked at Chu Nian suspiciously, and said, "Lady, this is ......"
"This is a friend I made outside, so keep busy." The little peach blocked the girl's question, and the little face that was a little green was still serious.
Seeing this, the maid glanced at Chu Nian again, and at the end, she had no choice but to turn around and leave.
The little peach walked in a certain direction all the way, during this period, the little hand kept pinching Chu Nian's hand, Chu Nian clearly felt the stickiness in the palm, and this party understood that the little girl in front of her was also quite nervous.
It wasn't until he reached the door of a huge room with "Library Pavilion" written on it that Xiao Taozi stopped, took a deep breath, and then looked sideways at Chu Nian and said: "This is my grandfather of the three elders, he is the best of the three elders, and he also likes his brother the most, he also knows you, and your identity does not need to be concealed." β
Chu Nian nodded, these three elders, Chu Nian had also heard Tao Jinyan mention it, and I heard that he was the best person in the Tao family to Tao Jinyan.
At this stall, the wooden door was pushed open, and an old man who was not too tall, but full of silver hair, came out of it, and the old man looked at Chu Nian and Tao Jinyan at the door, and his face was obviously stunned, and his eyes swept over Chu Nian and fell on the face of the little peach.
"Little Peach, why did you come back?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Taozi's eyes suddenly turned red, but she still held on to not let the tears fall, she raised her head, and a pair of beautiful big eyes were full of questions, "Third Elder, you know everything, right?" β
The three elders were stunned by Xiao Peach's question, and even though he was a little helpless, he reached out and touched Xiao Peach's head, which seemed to be extremely skilled, but he didn't want to, and was easily dodged by Little Peach.
Seeing this, the third elder seemed to remember something, and shook his head helplessly, "You girl...... Okay, come in and talk. β
As he spoke, he let go of his body, Xiao Taozi glanced at Chu Nian, but his subordinates were clenching tighter and tighter, she pulled Chu Nian into the house, and followed the three elders all the way to the innermost small room, only then did he see the three elders turn their eyes and look at Chu Nian beside Xiao Taozi seriously.
"This is the Peerless County Lord, right?"
Chu Nian's eyes were slightly downcast, and he nodded slightly, "It's the little girl, I've seen the three elders." β
The Third Elder nodded, and let out a long sigh. "Really make people...... Originally, the old man also wanted to be recommended by Jinyan, but he didn't expect to meet in this way. β
