"If I had known it was today, I wouldn't have saved you." The unexpectedly ruthless words made the brocade man's body shake a few times, and the other onlookers who were coaxing also quieted down.

The man in brocade said with a strong smile: "Miss is a kind-hearted person, why test me with cold eyes?" Miss—"

"Why can't you understand people?" A little girl dressed in goose yellow clothes and with smart eyebrows got out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage neatly, crossed her waist and pointed in the direction of the man in brocade: "If you really want to repay the favor, give my young lady a thousand taels of silver!" ”

"What?" The man in brocade looked surprised: "I didn't expect me to see the wrong person!" I thought it was a beautiful woman who thought it was out of the ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be so! ”

"Phew!" The little girl said disdainfully, "What did you say to repay the favor, I didn't even ask if my young lady was married, but she just wanted to cling to our general's mansion!" ”

The people who watched the rise suddenly found that it was not simply a drama to repay their kindness; Bai Suzhen's face was also ugly.

"You are talking nonsense, your young lady has an ugly appearance, big shoulders and a round waist, she is twenty years old, but no one dares to marry, I am doing good deeds to propose marriage in person!" The man in brocade was speechless.

The curtain of the car was raised, revealing a handsome woman sitting upright, with a short sword hanging from her waist, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and her expression was calm and unchanged.

"Come on, take down this fanatic who insulted the imperial court officials and hand it over to the government office!"

Two guards quickly ran over from behind the carriage, and before the brocade man could escape, he covered his mouth and dragged away.

The woman looked around, and the people who had spoken wildly before were silenced, and there was a slaughter around them.

"Left Phase." The woman noticed Huo Ran outside the crowd and said hello from afar.

Huo Ran also nodded in response.

"This is the woman you want?" Bai Suzhen, who was on the side, noticed the interaction between Huo Ran and the woman, and asked sourly.

"If I love a woman, I will love her!" Huo Ran watched the woman go with admiration.

Bai Suzhen said unwillingly: "Why? Is she as pretty as me? ”

Huo Ran retracted his gaze and looked at Bai Suzhen: "The woman I admire is atmospheric and independent. White girl, you are another kind of beauty, it's just a pity that it's not what I like. If you are interested, you can find out about Miss Qingyuan. ”

After speaking, Huo Ran didn't wait for Bai Suzhen's reaction and left directly.

That night, Bai Suzhen returned to Zuo Xiang's Mansion again, staring at a candle in a daze.

Today, the conversation between Miss Qingyuan and the man in brocade, as well as Huo Ran's words, always appeared in her mind.

She asked Xu Xian to marry her like this, was she really repaying her kindness? Bai Suzhen began to reflect.

At that time, after Huo Ran turned around and left, Bai Suzhen was not only angry, but also went to inquire about the woman who Qingguan made this cold man admire.

The eldest daughter of General Qiu, the general of Zhenguo.

General Qiu was desolate in his early years, and there was only Miss Qiu as a daughter, so he raised his only daughter as a boy, and even sent Qiu Qingguan as a boy to study in the academy for four years, and also took her to ride a horse and hunt.

Until he was ten years old, the general's sister-in-law was already three years old, and General Qiu's wife suddenly found that her daughter had been raised to act as a man, and hurriedly forced her daughter to drop out of school and take her with her to learn female red and female rings.

"If that man can't convince me, why should I bow my eyebrows to him?" Qiu Qingguan asked when he faced the general's wife to teach the way of the waiter.

The general's wife was shocked: "The husband is the sky, the woman is the grass of the world, and it is only right to serve him and look up to him!" ”

Qiu Qingguan put down the "Female Analects" in his hand, ignored the ugly face of the general's wife, and said directly: "Even if it is a sage's words, if it is wrong, I will not accept it." Mother, you are wrong, if men are the sky and women are grass, then sooner or later I will grow through the sky and compete for the high! ”

These words were rumored out of the General's Mansion for some reason, and many noble ladies praised Qiu Qingguan for her ambition on the surface, but behind her back, she was removed from the selection of daughters-in-law.

So until Qiu Qingguan and Xu, no one dared to come to the door to propose, even if there was, but it was to climb the lintel of the General's Mansion, and all of them were driven out by Qiu Qingguan's orders.

But then Qiu Qingguan did two things out of the ordinary.

The first one, a woman disguised herself as a man to join the army, but unfortunately, it happened to be discovered by General Qiu's subordinates, and she was sent back to the general's mansion a month later. This matter was suppressed by General Qiu.

The second thing, which happened just a month ago.

According to Huo Ran's suggestion, the emperor opened the imperial examination and martial arts again. Qiu Qingguan changed men's clothes again and passed all the way, and went to the top three in the end.

When she was declared the champion of martial arts, she took off her hood on the spot, and her long hair like a waterfall slipped down, revealing her identity as a woman.

The Manchu Dynasty was shocked, and some people even directly asked her to step down and choose another martial champion.

Qiu Qingguan said loudly: "Your Majesty has issued a list to recruit talents, dare to ask you, is my martial arts not good, my riding skills are not good, or my strategy is unbearable?" ”

The face of the minister of the DPRK and China became even more ugly.

Isn't it good? Precisely because she performed so well!

Whether it is riding and shooting, or strategy, the candidates who are pressed can't raise their heads! If she were a man, she would definitely become a new pillar! Unfortunately, she is a woman.

How can a woman be an official?

Bai Suzhen didn't find out about the rest of the matter, but she only knew that this matter was also banned.

I didn't expect to hear Qiu Qingguan say that she became an official today.

Such an ordinary-looking woman has done things that many people dare not think of.

Bai Suzhen's emotions are complicated. She thinks she is a strong person, thinking about Qiu Qingguan, what she thought was strong turned out to be just the strength given by others.

She just wanted to cultivate to become an immortal, but she didn't dare to resist Master Guanyin. She was obviously aware of the problem, and Fahai had woken her up several times, but she was scared and kept pretending not to understand.

Now a mortal woman, but she has the courage to say "no" to the whole sky.

Thinking of what he has done in the past ten years, from the time he found out Xu Xian's identity, he began to "obsessive" him year after year, and in the past two years, he has been pressing step by step, just because Xu Xian is a mortal and can be bullied.

"Even if I succeed, can I really be a free and easy immortal?" A line of hot tears slipped from the corners of Bai Suzhen's eyes.

"Xu Gongzi." Bai Suzhen pushed open the door of Huo Ran's study, walked in and saluted: "Suzhen took the liberty to come, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Huo Ran looked the polite Bai Suzhen up and down, it's not normal! Bai Suzhen likes to stare at him sadly and ambiguously lately, and now this is?

"White girl, please be seated." Huo Ran pointed to a wooden chair.

Bai Suzhen's demeanor is still gentle, but it makes people feel a lot warmer, and it no longer looks like a detached politeness.

"Xu Gongzi, what do you want most?" Bai Suzhen asked earnestly, "I still hope that Gongzi will speak bluntly, this is very important to me." ”

The little flame of excitement couldn't help jumping in Huo Ran's heart, and was forced down by him again.

"What I want most — I want to know the truth the most."

"The truth?" Bai Suzhen asked in confusion.

"Yes." Huo Ran nodded affirmatively: "The white girl obviously has no love in her eyes, but why, has she always been by my side?" It's been two years, and I wonder what makes the girl so herself? ”

Huo Ran's words made Bai Suzhen couldn't help but have a sour nose.

Embarrassed by yourself, yes, it is true that not only Xu Xian is embarrassed, but also embarrassed yourself.

Bai Suzhen is not a monster who is good at deceiving her heart, she has always focused on cultivation and deceived Xu Xian, why is she not suffering?

"Can Childe believe that there are demons and monsters in this world?" Bai Suzhen cautiously tempted.

"Naturally believe. Speaking of which, on the way to the capital before last, I also met a female ghost named Xiaoqian! Huo Ran smiled and said, "That female ghost wanted to invite me to tea, but I noticed that she didn't have a shadow, and I thought of the folk rumors and left directly." Those folklore, I think there is truth to it. ”

Huo Ran asked curiously: "Could it be that the white girl has also seen it before?" ”

Bai Suzhen lowered her head in embarrassment, the white light flashed in her right hand, and she planned to knock him out and wash away her memory if Huo Ran screamed for a while.

"I've seen it, and I'm a demon." Bai Suzhen finished speaking lightly, waiting for Huo Ran's reaction, she didn't hear a figure like yelling or running away for a long time, she couldn't doubt if she really said it.

"And then?" Huo Ran looked at Bai Suzhen and looked at herself blankly, intimately cheering.

"Aren't you afraid?" Bai Suzhen asked stupidly.

"Afraid of what?" Huo Ran asked rhetorically, "The white girl said that she was a demon, so are you going to eat me or kill me?" If so, I guess I can't escape, what's the use of being afraid; If not, why be afraid? ”

"Poof" Bai Suzhen smiled gracefully, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Childe, I am indeed a demon. In my early years, when I was an ordinary creature in the countryside, I was almost killed by a few children, and then a shepherd boy rescued me. When I have achieved cultivation, a thousand years have passed, my mana has been deep, but I have become an immortal for a long time, and later, a great god told me that because my cause and effect are not clear, I found the reincarnation of the person who saved me back then, which is Gongzi. ”

"The great god said he wanted me to marry you?" Huo Ran asked with an unchanged expression.

Bai Suzhen nodded with a flushed face.

"White girl, please forgive me for being disrespectful. Is this great god really helping you? I've heard that people in cultivation need to be outside the red dust. And if I saved you, you need to marry me, then what about me being reincarnated as a woman in this life? In addition, the girl said that she has been practicing for thousands of years, so there is really no one else to help you except me? So how many people does the girl have to marry? ”

Huo Ran's series of questions knocked Bai Suzhen unconscious.

Yes, it was clear that Fahai had saved her, why didn't Guanyin mention it?

"White girl, Xu Xian is ignorant, I want to ask, if it is really married, can it hinder the girl?" Huo Ran also didn't understand.

Now Xu Xian's body is his soul, but Bai Suzhen is still arranged by Guanyin to repay his kindness, so the so-called repayment of gratitude is aimed at Xu Xian's body.

Bai Suzhen shook her head.

Huo Ran thought for a while and suggested, "Is the girl willing to marry me?"

Bai Suzhen was stunned.

She wanted to marry Xu Xian, and she thought about it for more than ten years, but since they officially met, Xu Xian has always been like a divorce from her, and later she was even colder. What's going on?

"Since the great god said that you will repay your kindness by marrying me, perhaps the great god has great powers and knows that I don't love women, so he invited the girl to come. Then let's just get married! In this way, the girl was able to repay the kindness, repay the kindness, and complete the explanation of the great god, and I also had an explanation to my sister. How? After Huo Ran finished speaking, he added: "Three years later, we will reconcile." ”

"Good!" Bai Suzhen responded, she wanted to see if she could become an immortal after completing the task of Master Guanyin!

Bai Suzhen came with a full stomach and left impassionedly.

"Butler, back horse." Looking at the time, Huo Ran decided to go out.

Even in the capital, there are a lot fewer people at night. In addition to some restaurants, flower buildings.

Huo Ran rode through the street with a dozen retinues, and soon arrived at a magnificent courtyard.

"Phew—" Huo Ran reined in his horse.

An entourage trotted out of the gate and gently slammed the door.

"You're—" The porter leaned out and looked through the light.

The attendant said loudly: "My father-in-law, I have made an appointment with Miss Qiu to come to visit tonight." I wonder if it's convenient for Miss? ”

When the porter heard "Xiangye", he immediately thought of his general's order tonight: "If the left minister comes, call back directly." ”

"Really?" The porter hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to pick up the stick, so he had to say helplessly, "The general and the young lady are not in the house, please come back tomorrow." ”

"Slow!" A light sound stopped the doorkeeper from closing.

Looking through the light, a beautiful man in the wind of Yushu walked slowly, and the porter couldn't help but be stunned, this is Zuo Xiang? No wonder the people of Beijing praise him as a "jade man"!

"Little brother, please help me bring a message to your general, do you want a famous Qiu Qingguan, or a daughter who died with only a shell?"

"That's what he said?" General Qiu's hand holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably, and his face was irrepressible anger: "This bastard, how dare you come?!" ”

"Daddy, I invited Zuo Xiang to come, why should you blame others?" Qiu Qingguan, dressed in military uniform, walked in.

The general's wife wept again and again: "Yun'er, you were dazzled by that person, he is harming you!" ”

Qiu Qingguan shook his head: "Mother, it's not that Zuo Xiang harms me, that's my wish." Daddy, you can stop me for a day, but you can't stop me for a lifetime! And I'm leaving tomorrow, is it possible that you want to resist the decree? Don't forget, there is a little brother at home! ”

General Qiu looked at his daughter who looked like him in front of him, and let out his strength: "That's it, invite someone in." ”

The porter trotted out of the eerie house.

"General, why are you too-" The general's wife couldn't stop wiping her tears: "Is it possible, do you really want to send your daughter to die?" ”

"Madam, Qingguan is right. Your Majesty's will is below, if it is to resist the will, it is to escape from the battle, and you will be beheaded all over the house! General Qiu looked tired.

The general's wife couldn't help but be stunned, looking at her husband, who rarely showed old age, and then looking at her daughter who was covered in light armor, dizzy for a while.

"Madame! Madam! General Qiu hurriedly picked up the general's wife and went straight to the inner room.

"My daughter is older, let her go." General Qiu once again regretted his selfishness at that time, and in order to compensate for the regret of not having a son, he treated his daughter as a son!
