Chapter 37: The Twelfth Floor
The next day, early in the morning.
Lin Xinyue just walked to the courtyard, but found Chang An sitting in the courtyard.
"An'er."
Chang An looked at Lin Xinyue and said with a smile
"Mother."
Lin Xinyue sat next to Chang An, looked at Chang An's solemn face, thought that Chang An was worried about the marriage, sighed, and said seriously
"An'er, it's not that my mother forced you, it's just that your father is gone, and your mother is old, and my mother's only wish in this life is to watch you get married. You said that you either run out day by day, not at home, or you will be in retreat for a few years, my mother is in a hurry. ”
As she spoke, Lin Xinyue's eyes were filled with tears.
"Mother doesn't ask you to be a big hero, I just ask you to be safe. Now that Sheng'er's illness has recovered, my mother thinks about you, I can give my mother a big fat grandson. ”
Chang An looked at Lin Xinyue, his face was unbearable, he gently held Lin Xinyue's hand, but found that the beautiful mother in the impression already had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
He exhaled slowly and said
"Mother, I can promise you to get married, but I really have something important, can you wait for me to come back."
Lin Xinyue was overjoyed and hurriedly explained
"You don't have to worry about this, it won't be delayed, the Chu family is also in a hurry, our wedding banquet is scheduled for ten days later."
Chang An was surprised
"So fast!"
Lin Xinyue nodded, Chang An nodded silently, this is fine, you can do two things together.
At this time, Chang Sheng walked over
"Mother, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Xinyue said with a smile
"The Chu family is in a hurry, but since they are going to get married sooner or later, it's not a bad thing to get married early."
Chang Sheng frowned slightly, a little uneasy.
She can understand that her mother is anxious, but it is impossible for my brother not to see the problem, and the attitude of the Chu family is really incomprehensible.
Chang Fu walked into the courtyard
"Family master, someone from the Chu family is here."
"Oh?"
Chang An was a little surprised
"Who is it?"
Chang Fu took a breath and said slowly
"She calls herself the eldest lady of Chu's Villa, Chu Guanyu."
The people in the courtyard were stunned, even Lin Xinyue noticed that there was a slight mistake, and it was only a few days since the Chu family sent the post, not to mention the urgency, and now the main owner actually came to the door in person.
A weird smile rose at the corner of Chang An's mouth.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said
"Please let her in."
A faint fragrance wafted into the compound.
When Chu Guanyu appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a word popped up in the courtyard and in everyone's minds.
Exquisitely carved.
To describe her in this word, it is appropriate, her beauty does not need to be expressed in words, because it is known at a glance, but in addition to beauty, what is more attractive is her eyes that seem to be extremely pure, without a trace of impurities.
Looking at those eyes, it seems that she can see through her at a glance, and as if she can see through you at a glance.
It seems that in the face of such a person, you are always willing to cut your heart to her, because you will feel that she is also willing to cut her heart to you.
"Hello, my name is Chu Guanyu."
The girl's voice, with a faint fragrance, echoed in the compound.
Her eyes with magical power, as if with a smile, looked at Chang An.
"Hello, my name is Chang An."
Chang An smiled slightly.
"Can you go out for a walk with me?"
The originally elegant girl has changed again at this time, and she is a little more playful.
Chang An was like a well-educated nobleman, slowly stretching out his right hand
"Please."
A gust of wind blew, the black hair fluttered in the wind, and the jade hand was as crystal as a dewdrop, holding Chang An tightly.
The two are like a pair of lovers who have been in love for a long time, holding hands so naturally, leaning together so naturally, even the pace of walking is almost the same.
Lin Xinyue looked at the back of the two leaving, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, she couldn't stop laughing, now she is like the Li family on the street, the Aunt Li who chattes and gossips all day long, and her mouth is broken
"Sheng'er, have you seen it, how compatible they are."
On the street, Chu Guanyu and Chang An walked shoulder to shoulder.
attracted everyone's attention, especially on this street, there are many acquaintances of Chang'an.
"Yo, Chang boy, who is this girl?"
The old man who sold the candy said with a smile.
"It seems that there is a happy event in Changfu."
Next to it, the aunt who sells tofu also quipped.
"This girl is so beautiful, which family."
"It is said that it is the Chu family, and everyone says that the young lady of the Chu family is the number one beauty in the world."
"The Chang family kid is really a blessing."
Chu Guanyu glanced at Chang An playfully, smiled shallowly, and didn't speak, just continued to walk forward.
"Why are you here?"
Chang An asked.
"I want to come and see you."
Chu Guanyu's smile can always make people feel relaxed and forget everything around them.
"Look at what the great hero who killed the sword god looks like."
Chang An said with a smile
"Now you see it, disappointed."
Chu Guanyu shook his head, his clear eyes were like a star.
"It's beautiful."
"Then do you think I'm good-looking?"
Chang An continued to walk forward.
"Beautiful."
Chu Guanyu giggled, seeming to be very happy.
"Are you comforting me?"
"Of course not."
The girl smiled even more happily
"Thank you."
"She's been with us."
Chu Guanyu looked at Chang An with a smile.
A trace of helplessness appeared on Chang An's face and stopped
"Come here."
A figure was behind the two, sneaky, hearing the words, the figure paused, and then walked up timidly.
Zhuang Zhiyu was dressed in men's clothes, lowered his head, and stood beside Chang An.
"Brother Chang......"
Chu Guanyu looked at Zhuang Zhiyu's delicate face and sighed
"What a beautiful sister."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chang An.
Chang An felt Chu Guanyu's meaningful gaze and smiled bitterly.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhuang Zhiyu still lowered his head, and from time to time his eyes secretly glanced at Chang An.
"Brother Chang, I just want to follow you."
Chu Guanyu looked at Chang An softly and said suddenly
"Chang'an, I'm leaving."
Chang An was slightly shocked
"This is leaving?"
Chu Guanyu smiled slightly, changed his playfulness, and returned to elegance and dignity.
"I just wanted to come and see you, and now that I see it, it's time for me to go."
Chang An nodded.
The girl's shadow slowly disappeared into the crowd, and Chang An let out a long breath.
looked to the side, lowered his head, poor Zhuang Sleeve Jade, angry and funny.
"If you want to follow me, then let me see your archery skills."
Zhuang Zhiyu's eyes lit up, and he looked forward to it
"I won't let Brother Chang down."
In the Chang family compound.
Zhuang Zhiyu had a serious expression, holding a red beast bone bow.
Ten zhang away, there are five targets.
On the side, Chang An was looking at her.
Zhuang Sleeve Yu stretched out his right hand, the breeze passed through his fingers, feeling the speed and direction of the wind, and the corners of his mouth raised a confident smile.
Her feet were slightly open, shoulder-width apart, and these two movements made Chang An nod again and again, as she said, it was indeed practiced.
Holding a bow in his left hand, his left arm is at the same height as his shoulder, his posture is slightly leaning forward, his eyebrows are heroic, and his charming color is gone, and he looks more like a cold-blooded and ruthless battlefield archer at this moment.
The right hand took five feather arrows from the back, and the arrows were on the string, and on the right arm, the muscles were slightly raised, and the bowstring was instantly pulled apart, and the bow was full of strings.
"Whoosh!"
Five feather arrows shot out smoothly, with a cold glow, leaving five faint afterimages in the air.
"Smack!"
Five feathered arrows hit the bull's-eye in unison!
Zhuang Sleeve Yu wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve and looked at Chang An proudly
"Brother Chang, how is it?"
Chang An walked over, smiled and touched her head
"Not bad, but it needs to be improved."
But there were turbulent waves in my heart, archery not only requires talent, but also needs hard practice.
Let's not talk about the accuracy, but just five arrows at once, straight to ten zhang away, this already requires great internal force support, ordinary people definitely don't have such strength.
This stupid girl didn't know it yet, she might have unconsciously already had a thin jade-level internal strength.
Chang An thought so.
Zhuang Zhiyu looked depressed
"Brother Chang, how far does that have to go?"
Chang An smiled, took the longbow in Zhuang Zhiyu's hand, bent the bow and arrows, and casually pointed into the distance.
"Bang!"
The bow and arrow exploded in the air, and at a speed that Zhuang Sleeve Jade couldn't reach, it pierced the courtyard wall.
"Boom!"
The feather arrow directly pierced the thick courtyard wall with terrifying power, raising a cloud of dust.
"You do have talent in this area, and I am not as good as you in terms of accuracy, but your strength is not enough, if you can do it a hundred feet away, there is no false hair, it is enough."
Chang An said with a smile and looked at the dumbfounded Zhuang Sleeve Jade.
Chang An left, and Zhuang Zhiyu shouted behind him
"Brother Chang, I will definitely do it!"
Chang An was thoughtful, Zhuang Zhiyu's talent was indeed very surprising to him, if she could really continue to temper her strength, one day, she might really be able to help a lot.
At night, Chang An came to Yan Sihai's guest room.
"Knock knock!"
"Who!"
Yan Sihai's voice came from inside the house,
"Me."
Yan Sihai opened the door, and Chang An walked in.
"You're not busy preparing for your marriage, what are you doing here?"
"I was disturbed by other people during the day, and we haven't finished talking about it yet."
Yan Sihai had a bad premonition and avoided Chang An's eyes
"It's all over."
Chang An shook his head and looked at him sinisterly
"We haven't talked about compensation yet."
Sure enough, Yan Sihai muttered for a while, this guy is better than me.
"What do you want?"
"Two questions."
Chang'an Road.
"Smack!"
Then, he slapped a long sword on the table.
Yan Sihai looked at the sword, his eyes were straight, and he saw that the scabbard exuded a simple atmosphere, and the peerless edge emanated from the scabbard.
"Could it be, Sword God's Sword!"
Yan Sihai blurted out.
"Can you tell where it came from?"
Yan Sihai cautiously picked up the sword god saber and drew out the long sword, which exuded a cold chill and flashed with a dazzling silver glow.
"It's really weird, the material of this sword body has never been seen before."
Chang An frowned, he had already seen this, otherwise, he would not have come to ask the well-informed Yan Sihai.
Yan Sihai and Liang Gong have been friends for many years, and he thought that maybe Yan Sihai could hear about it.
"You haven't seen it either?"
Yan Sihai shook his head
"Naturally not, but Liang Gong once told me that in this world, there are still many treasures that have not been excavated."
Chang An frowned
"I suspect that this sword has something to do with the twelfth floor."
Yan Sihai exclaimed
"That mysterious killer on the twelfth floor?"
Chang An nodded
"I still remember yesterday, someone asked me to meet in the north of the city."
Yan Sihai asked
"I was about to ask you who that man is."
Chang An smiled mysteriously
"I can't tell you who that person is, but I got a ban, and the twelfth floor wants this sword in my hand."
Yan Sihai was stunned
"It's a pity that Liang Gong is missing, otherwise, maybe he would know the origin of this sword."
Chang An was silent, at this time, not only Yan Sihai, but even himself wanted to find Liang Gong.
"Second question, what do you think of the twelfth floor?"
Yan Sihai looked at Chang An strangely
"Why are you so interested in the twelfth floor all of a sudden?"
Chang An sighed and said helplessly
"Since they want this sword, they will naturally find me sooner or later, so I have to take precautions."
Yan Sihai nodded and said slowly
"Speaking of this organization, it is very mysterious, after Jia Wu's death, Youfu was purged. It didn't take long for a mysterious person to suddenly appear on the rivers and lakes, he entered Youzhou by thunderous means, and built twelve hundred-zhang high-rise buildings on the original site of Youfu. ”
"He calls himself the twelfth floor, and it is said that on the twelfth floor, including himself, there are twelve assassins in charge, except for himself, who is a grandmaster, and the other eleven are all first-class masters at the Kuofu level."
"The main business is to receive all kinds of assassination orders on the rivers and lakes, and it is said that as long as they take the orders, they will not miss. And the weirdest thing is that they don't want money. ”
Chang An frowned
"Don't want money? That's what to want. ”
Yan Sihai said
"All they need is bronze, a lot of bronze."
