But it was too late, and when Guan Ping realized it later, he had already met his father.

Guan Ping's face changed suddenly when he saw his father. Xingcai was also frightened by the fawn, and hurriedly broke free and distanced himself from Guan Ping.

Guan Yuang, a pair of Danfeng eyes were extremely cold, and he shouted coldly, "Ping'er!" ”

"Father, father..." Guan Ping's face turned from pale to red, his eyebrows were lowered, and his speech was a little unfavorable.

Guan Yu glanced at Xingcai, and said, "It's not good to lead the troops to practice, come here... Play, mess around! ”

Guan Ping was drunk in front of him, knowing that his father was angry, he hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Everything is the child's fault, it is the child's dereliction of duty, and I ask my father to blame." ”

"Go back and scold twenty." Guan Yu Iron Face, "If there is a next time, you don't have to follow me anymore." ”

What the?!

Everyone knows that Guan Ping is Guan Yu's adopted son, because the two have the same surname, Guan Ping has always admired Guan Yu, and he also has ambitions. After repeatedly begging, Guan Yu agreed to take him to fight on the battlefield together. Guan Yu also liked him with blue eyes, so he took advantage of the situation to accept him as a righteous son.

This sentence was undoubtedly a thunderbolt for Guan Ping, and it was a heavy warning to him.

"Father, father doesn't want it!" Guan Ping panicked, "The child promises that there will be no next time." ”

"Then let me go back and stay there." Guan Yu said coldly, "Have you forgotten how you promised your father at the beginning, 'If you don't calm the troubled times, you will never let go of the sword in your hand', as well as your male ambition and soldier's mission, have you forgotten these." ”

Guan Ping was ashamed of what he said, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Child... I didn't forget, I didn't dare to forget. ”

"Hmm." Guan Yu was slightly satisfied, and his face softened. Nian Zai'er is a first-time offender, and he doesn't care a lot. And Ping'er is in her young age, and her blood is strong, so it is inevitable that she will be affected by love. But why is the object of emotion Xingcai, he can't help but be a little worried, this is not what he wants to see.

"Don't kneel here, go back with your father." When the words fell, Guan Yu turned around neatly.

The generals made way for him, and only took a few steps, but he heard Ping'er's voice begging behind him: "Father, can you let the child send his sister back." ”

Guan Ping knew that he would probably not be able to see his sister again in the future. So he wanted to say something to his sister and asked her to wait for him.

Guan Yu paused his steps, then turned around, his face was gloomy, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Men and women don't kiss." Although you and Xingcai are brother and sister, you have to avoid suspicion to some extent, so as not to damage Xingcai's reputation and delay her finding a good family in the future. ”

The implication of this could not be more obvious, Guan Yu also saw the ambiguous relationship between them, and did not accept it, and clearly opposed it.

Guan Ping wanted to say something more, but Xiang Xia hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, held him down, and acted as a peacemaker: "Ping'er don't worry, there is still an aunt here, and my aunt will send my sister back later." Ping'er go back with the second brother, don't say more, and don't disobey the second brother..."

Speaking of the back, I lowered my voice to the summer. frowned and shook his head, signaling Ping'er to stop working against his father.

The days ahead are still long, and not accepting it for a while does not mean that it will not be accepted in the future. For now, the only way to stabilize the father and son is not to cause any trouble.

Guan Ping's handsome face wrinkled, and he swallowed hard, "Yes." ”

Immediately after, he stood up and looked back at Sister Xingcai reluctantly. This glance shouldn't have been, but seeing his sister's little face pale, his feet seemed to be bound by something, and he couldn't take a step.

He seems to have had a long mental struggle.

Finally, he still took a step forward and resolutely walked towards Guan Yu.

"It's just because you're playful, and you have to trouble your aunt in the summer to send my sister back, and add ten more canes when you go back." Guan Yu was determined to extinguish the flames of these two young people.

For some reason, Xiang Xia always felt that these words seemed to be aimed at her. Hearing that Guan Ping was going to receive thirty canes, he felt sorry for his nephew, and wanted to stand up and say a few words for him: "Second brother, will this punishment be too severe..."

Before she finished speaking, Guan Yu refused disapprenousively: "A dignified seven-foot man, if you can't bear these few sticks, what will you use to kill the enemy in the future." ”

Guan Ping was worried that Xiang Xia would be implicated because of him, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Auntie, these are all things I should receive." My aunt should not underestimate my nephew, but also ask my aunt to work hard to send my sister back. The nephew is grateful..."

With that, he threw a fist at Summer, then turned away in style.

"Eh..."Xiang Xia still wanted to call out.

But he was stopped by Guan Yu, "Come to think of it, there is a lot of trouble during this time, Sister Summer and Brother Zilong." Ping'er and Sister Summer have a deep relationship, and I am very pleased. I don't care about other things, but there are some things that others can't do, only I, as a father. Summer sister, take care of yourself. ”

Xiang Xia casually returned the salute, and it was not a taste in my heart. Yes, when it is her turn to intervene in Ping'er's life events, it is up to the second brother to decide.

There was a wave of frustration in her heart, but she still had to pull herself together. Because there are people who are more sad than her, much sadder, and need her comfort.

"Xingcai..."Xiang Xia turned back to her and looked at her worriedly, "Let's go back." ”

Constellation nodded. Subsequently, Xiang Xia escorted her all the way back.

On the way, Xingcai always buried her head and didn't say a word. Xiang Xia couldn't see her expression clearly, and he didn't know how to say comfort.

It wasn't until she was sent outside the mansion that Xingcai thanked her and was about to step into the threshold.

Xiang Summer, who didn't know where to bring up the blood, shouted at Xingcai's back: "Don't be sad, don't be discouraged." He must not want to do this, you are still young, the days are still long, and there will be opportunities in the future. In short, don't give up. ”

Xingcai was stunned, then turned around and forced a smile, "Thank you, auntie." ”

After sending off Xingcai, Xiang Xia was not in the mood to return to the barracks. I walked back home unconsciously, and I don't know if Zilong left after taking his things, he should be gone. It's definitely too late to chase him now. It's better to just wait for him at home, she is stuck with stinky sweat and wants to take a shower.

"Ma'am." The doorkeeper saluted.

Waving to Summer, he swaggered into his door.

"Did you just hear that?"

"What?"

"I seem to hear screams coming from the little garden."

"When you say that, it seems really..."

The two little maids were talking on the side, and Jue Xiangxia was walking towards them, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Madame." ”

"Excuse me." Showing tiredness to the face of summer. The two little maids were talking about something just now, and she didn't hear it clearly, but she could vaguely hear the little garden...

She didn't take the little girl's words to heart, but suddenly remembered that the small garden was where Sun Ruan'er was on an errand now. She should be obedient now, and she can't make any more waves.

Even though he thought so, he still came to the small garden to have a look.

There was no one around, and there was no situation, just two little maids chatting. Xiang Xia was about to leave, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure.

Someone hiding there?! React subconsciously to summer.

"Who? Who's there?! ”

No one answered.

Could it be that a bad guy slipped into the house?! She could see it clearly. If you are your own person in the house, there is no need to hide.

Xiang Xia affirmed the idea in his heart, and then cheered up the spirit of 120,000 points, and silently approached the corner of the side, and when he approached, his palm was already holding the bundle of fairy ropes.

With a solemn expression, she carefully walked with bated breath, and after counting three counts in her heart, she immediately rushed forward, and waved out the bundle of immortal ropes.

It's just that it's empty, and no one is there at all!

How could it be, she clearly saw that the figure appeared around this corner.

Xiang Xia vigilantly looked around, there was only one entrance and exit to the small garden, if someone was really hiding here, then she only had to keep an eye on the garden gate.

Thinking of this, she began to wave the bundle of fairy ropes around. Everywhere the rope of immortals went, it turned into a mess. She knocked down all the flowers and plants, so that the man had nowhere to go.

Just as I was about to whip the summer again, there was a voice, "Meow..."

After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be a naughty cat, which caused her to have a false alarm.

She was breathing a sigh of relief, but her brows furrowed again, and her body became a little soft in an instant, and some... Unspeakable.

There seems to be a scent in the air, and where is it coming from?

Not far from the foot of the summer, a potted plant appeared, and it was a pot of white and fluffy flowers. It's a pity that it's broken, and the separated dirt is still dripping outward. If you look closely, there is something mixed in the dirt, which looks like spices.

Presumably, this broken bonsai is the cat's masterpiece. The fragrance comes from here, and when you smell it closely, it smells strange.

It's just that for a moment, Xiang Xia suddenly felt weakness in his limbs, and the sky was spinning for a while. The closer she got, the weaker she felt, and she felt like she was about to turn into a puddle of water...

This feeling is familiar to her and strange to her.

Oops!

It turns out that this fragrance makes people emotional.

Xiang Xia shook his head, touched his forehead, and pricked a few key acupuncture points with silver needles, and his sanity recovered.

She bounced away from the flower. She looked at the pot of flowers, frowning and thinking.

What kind of flower is this and why does it appear in small gardens.

A bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart, could it be that it had something to do with Sun Ruan'er? It has something to do with Sun Ruan'er, and maybe it will also be related to... Zilong! It has something to do with Zilong!

Xiang Xia was frightened by this sudden and terrible thought, and she hurriedly stood up, her mind blank.

She hurried to the backyard, not knowing why she thought so. But she still ran to Zilong's bedroom without hesitation...

In the distance, I saw that the door of Zilong's bedroom was closed, and he gradually slowed down towards summer.
