In the twilight summer garden, Gu Xiao was in the room arranged by the He family, although he was in a hurry, and his body was already exhausted, but the disappearance of Lin'er and Uncle Li and others, as well as the green silk winding thing, especially in front of him, Gu Xiao had no sleep, so he got up and walked out of the room, and wandered around in this twilight garden.

It happened that Jiang Ningxue was also standing on her own in this garden, staring at the back mountain of the He family's courtyard, as if she was reminiscing about the legend of the lion and tiger beast that He Bufan Shicai said in front of the door of the He family's courtyard.

The beautiful woman under the moon, dressed in white, looked back at Gu Xiao and said softly: "What He Bufan said, do you believe it." ”

Gu Xiao remembered that in the Void Illusion Realm, his master Qi Ke, and the eldest brother Tianya talked about the Momen Patriarch slaying the dragon, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after I went down the mountain, what I encountered, what I heard and heard, made people have to believe it." ”

"I haven't been able to figure out how the He family fights every year and promotes the masters of the rivers and lakes, so it seems that it is mostly because of this lion and tiger beast." Jiang Ningxue nodded slightly.

Gu Xiao frowned and said: "I still haven't figured it out, since the ancestor of the He family has a good relationship with the Chongyang pen, and the Chongyang pen knows so many famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, if you can ask these masters to make a move with the face of the Chongyang pen, then the lion and tiger beast will not be captured." ”

"This is also what I can't figure out, and this lion and tiger beast is just a legend, for this, it is too child's play to mobilize people like this and spend countless money." Jiang Ningxue also frowned.

The two were talking, but they heard the noise of people outside the Duxia Garden, and then, a group of people in brocade clothes entered the garden proudly, and the leader was the square-faced man Jin Buyi in front of the He family in Zangbei City, followed by Xiao Yanluo, Thousand Hands Rulai, Fang Yuehua and others.

Xiao Yan Luo was wearing a disgusting smile, and flattered Jin Buyi: "Brother Jin, tomorrow is the day of the fight, and this year, I am afraid that our He Jiabao will become famous again." ”

Fan Yuqi, who had a goatee, sneered: "The day of the fight means that among our brothers, some of them will be replaced by newcomers, laughing Yama, you have to be careful tomorrow." ”

When Xiao Yan Luo heard this, he replied in a strange way: "Hmph, I'm only afraid that Fan Daxia should be careful, this year there are masters such as the Water Sword Sect and the Reverse Sword Sect to participate, our enshrined position, after tomorrow, belongs to us or not, I don't know, but I did order to go down, let people choose a quiet place in Meiyue Garden, and keep it for our Fan Daxia." ”

"It's okay, let's get down to business, let's start tomorrow, you have to prepare well and rest early." Jin Buyi still had that fair and upright attitude, and stopped the quarrel between Xiao Yan Luo and Fan Yuqi.

Then, Jin Buyi turned to Fang Yuehua's side again, and said with a little concern: "Yuehua, you are also tired today, you still have to rest well, if you can keep the position of worship this time, you can stay in the He family with peace of mind in the future." ”

Fang Yuehua nodded lightly and said yes, the lazy-looking man beside her, with a meaningful smile on his face, leaned over to Jin Buyi's side and said, "Brother Jin, I have a lot of work today, why don't you let us have a good rest." ”

Jin Buyi knew that this person had already seen his intentions for Fang Yuehua, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he teased this person: "You kid, it's not bad if you're not lazy, do you still need to have a good rest, okay, it's all scattered, it's all scattered." ”

While a few people were talking, they had already arrived in the Twilight Garden, and all the brocade worshippers saw Gu Xiao who was talking to Jiang Ningxue in the garden.

Xu was when Gu Xiao signed up in front of the He family's mansion during the day, he left too deep an impression on the brocade offerings, and when they saw Gu Xiao, everyone nodded their heads, and Gu Xiao also returned the salute one by one.

I saw Jin Buyi walking in front of Gu Xiao, and arched his hand: "I also said that the young man will come at noon tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and it will be here today." ”

"Thanks to the jade card given by Jin Daxia, I can let Zai Xia live in this twilight garden." Gu Xiao learned about the preciousness of this jade plaque from He Bufan's mouth, and opened his mouth to thank Jin Buyi.

"There is no need to be polite, Jin is not only worshiped by the family, but it is my job to recruit talents. It's not too early, Shaoxia please rest early, there are curfew rules in the He family's courtyard, and Shaoxia is requested to abide by it. While Jin Buyi returned the salute to Gu Xiao, he also informed Gu Xiao of the rules of the He family's courtyard, which meant that Gu Xiao would stay in the Dusk Summer Garden honestly.

"I don't know where such rules come from." A calm voice came into everyone's ears.

In the He family, who doesn't know Jin Buyi's status, this person dares to refute Jin Buyi's face in front of everyone, which is really bold.

"Presumptuous, what kind of person dares to speak like this to Brother Jin." Xiao Yan Luo wandered in the rivers and lakes for many years, and finally got a job of worshipping the He family, since he regarded this worship position as a treasure, and on weekdays, he changed the law to please Jin Buyi, and the people living in this twilight summer garden are all worshiped by the He family, Jin Buyi is the head of everyone, hearing that someone dares to speak disrespectfully to Jin Buyi, Xiao Yanluo's sharp voice immediately counterattacked.

It's ridiculous that Yama forgot that on weekdays, these He family worship is the only thing that does not move the horse's head, and recently it is the day when the He family ring opens, and the person holding the jade medal will also stay in the twilight summer garden.

With the words of Xiao Yanluo, everyone followed the prestige, only to see a gray-clothed man standing under the corridor, this person contained a fierce meaning between his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose was high, and he was tied with a gray forehead between his forehead, and a small "knife" word was made of pure gold, embedded in the middle of the forehead, and a slender and straight single knife with a slender and straight blade was inserted obliquely in his waist.

Seeing this person's dress, the arrogant appearance of the smiling general suddenly disappeared, but was replaced by a deep fear in his eyes.

"It turned out that it was the big disciple of the Reverse Sword Sect and the Reverse Sword Master, and it was Jin who was abrupt." Jin Buyi is worthy of being a long-famous figure on the Ling Jue list, although the other party did not leave a trace of affection for himself, but Jin Buyi did not see the slightest wave on his face, but smiled and bowed to the man in gray.

The man in gray ignored Jin Buyi's greetings, a pair of dark brown eyes crossed Jin Buyi, and landed on the laughing Yan Luo behind him, and the He family worship who was looking directly was restless, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze, and the man in gray walked in front of Gu Xiao and said to the young man.

"I heard that you are in front of the gate of Hejiabao, and you broke the autumn water palm." The man in gray spoke lightly, the fierce meaning between his eyebrows was close to the young man, but his eyes kept glancing at Jiang Ningxue on the side.

Only then did Gu Xiao know that the boy in front of Hejiabao who was fighting with him was called Shui Canglan, and when he saw that this person was extraordinary, when he approached him, there was a fierce sword intent rushing towards him, and Jiang Ningxue on the side saw this person, as if she was afraid, and took a half step behind her.

Half a step forward, Gu Xiao blocked in front of Jiang Ningxue, blocking the gaze of the gray-clothed man, and the true qi of the Tsing Yi Jue on his body came out along with the sword intent.

The man in gray was looking at Jiang Ningxue, but he felt a sword intent rushing towards him, took two steps back, and the man in gray stared at the young man with a pair of eyes with a little surprise, and then a trace of battle intent appeared in the dark brown eyes of the man in gray, and his palm was lightly raised, and he slowly stroked the single knife on his waist.

Gu Xiao's eyes moved slightly, staring at the palm of the man in gray, and then the sword finger in the sleeve of the green shirt was already out, but just when Gu Xiao was on guard, the man in gray suddenly withdrew the palm that touched the long knife.

Then he glanced deeply at Jiang Ningxue behind Gu Xiao, turned around and left, took a few steps, seemed to think of something, turned his head slightly, and said to Gu Xiao: "Tomorrow in the ring, it's best that you and I don't meet." After saying this, the man in gray didn't stay any longer, and walked straight into the Dusk Summer Garden.

Seeing the man in gray leaving, Jin Buyi's tense nerves seemed to relax a little, and after saying goodbye to Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue, he went back to his room with a group of worshippers.

"It's not early today, so you should rest early." Jiang Ningxue's tone was still cold, but she was more caring.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ningxue didn't wait for Gu Xiao to come back to her senses, turned around and walked towards her room alone.

Jiang Ningxue didn't say anything, but Gu Xiao saw the eyes of the man looking at Jiang Ningxue, and keenly noticed that these two people must have a story, but Jiang Ningxue didn't want to say it, so it was inconvenient for him to ask.

Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue came together, and the He family naturally arranged the rooms of the two next to each other, Gu Xiao saw that Jiang Ningxue was alone in front, as if he didn't want to talk to anyone, so he had to follow silently behind him and accompany her to the room of the two.

After a short time, he had already arrived at the door, Gu Xiao was about to open the door and enter, but when he heard Jiang Ningxue calling him softly, Gu Xiao asked curiously, "What's wrong, Miss Jiang." ”

"He must have recognized me." Jiang Ningxue lowered her head and said softly.

Gu Xiao saw that she lowered her head, in order to hide her identity, her face was covered by her slightly messy green silk, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but she seemed to hear the clues from her tone.

"He's... Who? Although Gu Xiao learned from Jin Buyi's mouth that this gray-clothed man was a disciple of the Reverse Sword Sect, and Jiang Ningxue was a disciple of the Lingyun Sword Sect, these two would be implicated, Gu Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Ningxue looked up at Gu Xiao Xing's eyes, saw that the young man looked earnest, and had no other intentions, and said: "The two swords and three swords in the Qiyun Martial Arts have always been the leader of my Lingyun Sword Sect, but the Water Sword Sect and my Lingyun Sword Sect have been competing for the head of the Sword Sect for many years, but in recent years, the momentum of the Water Sword Sect has become greater, although the Lingyun Sword Sect still steadily suppresses the remaining one sword and three swords in the eyes of outsiders, in fact, it has gradually fallen into decline, in order to compete with the Water Sword Sect, my master thought of using the method of marriage to win over the Reverse Blade Gate in the Three Swords Sect to jointly resist the Water Sword Sect. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ningxue did not continue, and Gu Xiao suddenly understood why the man in gray had been staring at Jiang Ningxue and was full of hostility towards himself, it turned out that this was the reason, if Jiang Ningxue and the man in gray had a marriage contract, it was no wonder that the man in gray made such a gesture.

Scratching his head, Gu Xiao originally thought that he was coming to Hejiabao and investigating the method of entering Murong Valley, but he really didn't expect to be entangled with the Rushui Sword Sect and the Reverse Sword Sect successively.

Jiang Ningxue saw that the young man seemed to want to be crooked, so she opened her mouth to explain: "Master did have the idea of letting me get married, but after I refused, his old man gave up this idea, but this Yuwen Tuo didn't know where he learned that my master had this idea, and he actually came to the door with a dowry to ask for marriage, and the master and his old man were afraid that my face-to-face refusal would make the two families ugly, so he found an excuse to let me take a few senior brothers to go to the customs to perform a mission, to avoid this matter for the time being, but I didn't expect to meet him here again." ”

Gu Xiao also said that Jiang Ningxue already had a marriage contract with this Yuwen Tuo, it turned out to be wishful thinking on the part of this gray-clothed man, and immediately smiled: "The love between men and women, I care about you and me, if you don't want to, you can still force it, don't worry, we are friends, if he is entangled with you, you are embarrassed to speak, I will help you explain it to him." ”

Jiang Ningxue looked at the young man who was serious, holding his cuffs and eager to try, and heard the word "friend" in the young man's mouth, the warmth in her heart rose, and she couldn't help but smile.

Although Jiang Ningxue's green silk is slightly chaotic and not powdered, this smile makes people feel like a spring breeze in winter and cold dew in summer, which goes straight to the heart.

Gu Xiao was stunned for a while, as if from the smile of the woman in front of him, he saw the girl who was smiling like a flower outside Liuzhuang and in the Fengxue Temple.
