And the guy over there was not surprised to see me at all, but smiled at me, waved his hand and said, "Isn't this the crown princess?" ”

To be honest, it was really embarrassing for me to meet someone I knew in such a scene, but after all, people greeted me, and I couldn't just ignore it.

So I smiled shyly back at him, and deliberately pretended to be very surprised, "Sir is here too!" ”

After the sick cat beautiful man heard me call him "sir", he suddenly laughed, "The princess still calls me a big beauty, it's more comfortable to listen." ”

"Hehe...", I pulled the corners of my mouth in embarrassment.

Only then did the sick cat and the beautiful man say to the old man in a dignified manner, "I don't know what the master is calling the apprentice to do?" ”

The old man pretended to stroke his goatee, looked at the sky and the sick cat and the beautiful man, and finally pointed at me with an unnatural face, "This little girl said that she was my apprentice, is it true?" ”

The sick cat and beautiful man were slightly stunned, and then fixed their puzzled eyes on me.

I was still in shock.

This time it's really a thousand calculations, but I never thought that the old man still had an apprentice, and this apprentice was still a sick cat and a beautiful man?

This coincidence is incredible!

I thought that my attempt to confuse the teacher's lie would be regarded as a failure, but I never expected that the sick cat and beautiful man just looked at me for a long time, and did not say anything for a while.

It was only when I cautiously raised my eyelids and smiled in my heart that he turned his eyes to the old man and said, "Master, you are not in good health, it is cold and heavy here, so you should go back first!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and helped the old man.

It wasn't until the figure of the old man disappeared into the broken door in the Buddhist hall that the sick cat and the beautiful man looked at me as if he was probing, and said with an intriguing smile, "I don't know, when did the crown princess learn from my master?" ”

I was doing something wrong, but at this time, I was so directly said by him, my face inevitably turned red, and then I got up, "Well... I..."

provoked the sick cat and the beautiful man smiled.

When I was about to dig a hole in the ground, he suddenly said, "My master's name is Crane Qianqiu. ”

"Huh?"

"Aren't you going to apprentice?" The sick cat beautiful man chuckled, and his eyes fell on me with a sparkling gaze, "By the way, introduce myself, my name is Tsuruko Xiu!" ”

I blinked in a daze, what did he mean by that? Is it agreed not to debunk me? Agree with me to get started?

But it's that simple?

I looked at him in disbelief, "Uh... Aren't you asking me some questions? For example, why did I find this? Why do you want to learn martial arts? Aren't you afraid that I'm someone with ulterior motives? ”

"You're weird!" Sick cat beautiful man... Uh, no, it was Hezi Xiu who sneered, and his clear eyes overflowed with a hint of playfulness, "You want to apprentice by all means, now I don't expose you, you yourself are suspicious first." ”

I scratched my head a little embarrassed, "I'm not curious!" ”

"Then look behind you!"

"Behind you?"

I turned around in confusion, but my eyes were straight at the tip of a knife? At this point, the sharp blade was barely half an inch from the center of my eyebrows.

If I go a little further, I'm afraid I'm going to get a big hole in my head.

Then I looked behind the person holding the hilt of the knife, and saw that the guards who came with us were all fainted on the ground at this time, and the peach heart was also tied up by the five flowers, and was being held by two guard-like people on the left and right, and the little face was full of fear, if it weren't for the fact that the mouth was gagged by the cloth, I am afraid that there would have been a scream of killing pigs.

"I don't think anyone with ulterior motives would be so stupid, right?" Tsuruzi's deep voice burst out of my ears, "How is it, are you satisfied with the series of questions you just asked?" ”

"You!" I looked back, my eyes wide with rage.

All right... I didn't expect this thing to be such a thoughtful master! I saw the two strong men in Xiaoxiang Pavilion when I was respectful to him, and I thought that this was just a sick cat with a peach blossom face at best, but now it seems that I am really clumsy!

Crane Zixiu lightly hooked the corners of his lips and raised his hand to wave.

The man behind me with the knife and the two who were holding the heart of the heart withdrew their hands, and then one jumped out of the courtyard.

"Who the hell are you?" I looked at him solemnly.

Unexpectedly, Hezi Xiu only spread the smile on his thin lips more obviously, "You also said this to the people of Tianji Tower yesterday!" ”

Tianji Tower? I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.

I did say this to the man in black of unknown origin yesterday, but how could Hezi Xiu know? And also... Tianji Tower? I don't know what it is, but listen to his tone... Could the man in black be the person from Tianji Tower?

But what exactly is Tianji Tower? Why do you threaten me with a dozen corpses in a moat and ask me to find ten good men and women for them? What do they want these ten people to do?

These questions surrounded me like a tangled mess that I couldn't figure out at all.

Hezi Xiu was happy to see that I was distressed, and stood silently to the side and looked at me for a long time.

It wasn't until my confused gaze fell on him that I suddenly realized, "Oh, I haven't told you yet!" Yesterday, Master told me that the man in black who wanted to attack you was from Tianji Tower. ”

Nonsense, already guessed!

I couldn't help but slander, and then I gave him a blank look, but when I thought of the man in black yesterday, I seemed to feel that something was wrong, and I couldn't say where it was.

"By the way, where is the man in black now?"

I have a lot of questions for that person right now, but my heart sank as Tsuruko's smile narrowed and what he said next.

"You're late, that person from Tianji Tower bit his tongue and killed himself last night!" Tsuruko raised his thin lips lightly, and then glanced at me coldly.

"What?" I stepped back and muttered, "Killed yourself?" ”

"The people of Tianjilou have always been loyal, and in order not to divulge the secrets of the gang, suicide is often heard in the rivers and lakes."

"Then why aren't you optimistic about him?"

Hezi Xiu looked into the Buddha hall with a complicated face, "You also know that my master is like this... When I was informed, the man was dead! ”

I was silent.

Then I looked behind me, and now I was looking at me with a sad face, and I couldn't help but laugh.

For a long time, in order to alleviate the somewhat solemn atmosphere, I had to change the subject and say, "By the way, how about it?" I'm considered a successful starter, right? Senior Brother Hezi Xiu? ”

Hezi was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you know our details?" Dare to recognize the door so indiscriminately! ”

"Huh," I disagreed, and couldn't help asking, "Then you might as well tell me, what are your backgrounds?" ”

"Well," Tsuruko Xiu smiled evilly and took the opportunity to put one hand on my shoulder, "Do you want to know mine, or Master's?" ”

I shook off a pig's trotter with great disgust, and said without hesitation, "That's naturally Master's." ”

"It's too much!" Hezi cultivated the peach heart behind me, and a trace of grievance deliberately floated on his face, which provoked me to pick up my sleeves and go to him, before he continued, "As you can see, Master had a serious illness when he was young, and now he has a hidden illness and has a bad memory, but he is good at martial arts. ”

"That's it?"

I'm a little disappointed, to be honest, I thought the old man could have a more legendary story!

Seeing that I seemed dissatisfied, Tsuruko Xiu couldn't help but be interested, and pretended to be serious, "Of course it's more than that!" ”

"Really?" A little excitement instantly overflowed my brow.

Hezixiu couldn't help but smile, "Don't look at Master like this now, when he was young, he was a powerful figure in the rivers and lakes, do you know why he is committed to this broken temple?" That's because when this temple was still prosperous, he was chased and killed by several big gangs on the rivers and lakes, and it was the abbot of the temple who saved him, so that he borrowed to live in the Zen courtyard behind the Buddhist hall, but the good times did not last long, the master was secretly infected with evil arts, lost his mind, and killed the abbot who saved his life and even the monks in the entire temple, since then, the master has vowed to guard this broken temple for a lifetime, and forgive the souls of the undead who died tragically under his hands. ”

"Really?"

I raised my eyebrows speechlessly, and the little excitement I had just raised was extinguished with his braggadocio words.

If you want to say that the old man has some legends, I still believe it, but if you want to say that he is dominant, bloody and lonely temple... Why am I so unbelieving?

So in the gap between his subdued and frustrated blowing cowhide, I changed sharply without any warning, "By the way, I heard that you and Master are both surnamed Crane, and this surname is very unique!" ”

As I said, Hezixiu raised his chin proudly and said, "That's right, I've been by Master's side since I was a child, and it's natural to follow his surname, but you know what? This crane surname is the surname of the Shu people, the master originally did not have this surname, and later changed his surname to Crane There is also a story..."

Hezi Xiu began to babble and brag again.

It made me infinitely surprised, and secretly slandered myself, how perverted does a person have to be to have such an inconsistent personality?

I shook my head, and when my mouth was rambling like a firecracker, I silently turned around and walked out with my peach heart.

"Huh? How did you go? I'm not done yet..."

When I led this cadre back to the front of the Prince's Mansion, I caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure from afar, approaching me with light...

"Mother!"

Before this voice fell, the group of guards behind me surrounded Yin Mian on the inner and outer three floors.

"This is—" I looked at Momoshin in confusion.

I saw her eyes dodge, and after laughing dryly, she quickly shrank aside.

Then, I heard Yin Mian howl heartbroken like killing a pig among the guards, "Little rice ball, this big bastard! Not only did he go to the concubine and ask her to lock me up, but he didn't allow me to see my mother! ”

As he spoke, Yin Mian's mouth flattened, and then he cried "wow", causing the guards to look at each other, stunned in place and didn't know what to do.

I held my forehead very helplessly, it seems that this is what Yin Linxi's guy asked Taoxin to keep secret, and the black-clothed guards were originally used to prevent Yin Mian from approaching?

What is the best way to achieve harmony between husband and wife and happiness for the family? That's it?

I was speechless again.

Obviously, this farce is not over yet, why does the heart feel so tired?

"Crown Princess!" At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house.

I turned my head and saw that it was the evening running towards me with a solemn expression.

"Crown Princess, you're finally back, there's something big going on in the house!"

"What's going on?"

I looked at the usually calm and reliable evening, at this time my face was as white as a piece of paper, biting my lower lip, and my heart fell suddenly.

Could it be that something happened to Jiangbei?

Sure enough, Wan'er looked at me with a sudden sadness, and her voice trembled violently, "Just now came the news, the Jiangbei avalanche... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Lost at the scene of the disaster relief! ”

"What did you say!"

I didn't even believe my ears, I just felt a dizziness on the top of my head, and then I grabbed Wan'er's arm tightly, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Crown princess," Wan'er lowered her head and sobbed, and added, "It was the old palace people in the palace who came to communicate, saying that the news only arrived today, but it was already two days ago." ”

"Two... Two days ago..."

My grip on her arm loosened and I thought of the nightmare...

I couldn't help but be crooked.

"Princess!" Mommy screamed and hurriedly held me up.

At this time, I only felt as if my heart was blocked by something, and I opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn't even say a word.

It's just that after Momo's compassionate eyes looked at me for a while.

Only then did he tremble his lips and open his mouth, "Go to Jiangbei!" Go out to Jiangbei! ”
