When the old man Li in front heard this, he stopped with a smile, turned back to their master and servant, and said, "How is it?" You two didn't come in vain today, did you? Two years ago, this front yard was already so full of flowers! And the peach blossoms in this courtyard are a strange species in the world, known as 'peach blossoms bloom in March and never decay in September'! And lo and behold! I planted these peach trees with my own hands! ”

"Hmmm! Good! Good! What a wonderland on earth! We are like coming to the peach blossom garden outside the world! The third prince couldn't help but admire.

"And! Three sons! Old man Li continued, "Maybe you don't know that since my master married a hostess from Yangzhou, he spent a lot of money to renovate this courtyard inside and out. The backyard also specially built a garden, a wooden pavilion, a sun and moon pool, etc., for my hostess, and it is rarely approached. ”

"Really?" The third prince was a little curious and asked, "Then can you let the two of you look at it again?" ”

"Good! Third son, you can rest assured to play! I'll tell the hostess when I go back, she won't ask! ”

"Huh! Could it be that the hostess is still so powerful that she has to ask her permission to go and see it? Xiao Luzi asked a little puzzled.

"Of course!" Old man Li didn't hide it, and said, "Usually few people can go!" However, it is you two rare guests who have come back, and the third son is a young friend of my village owner, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to let anyone in just by relying on my old face. ”

When the third prince heard this, he couldn't help but smile reluctantly, and said, "But Lord Liu Zhai is not here today!" Inconvenient to bother, right? ”

"Whoa! Don't worry! Old man Li still insisted and said, "You two go in and have a look, and you will come back immediately, without alarming her, what are you afraid of?" ”

After speaking, Old Man Li led the two of them forward again.

The three of them passed through a round gate and entered the delicate backyard. Two more steps, you will be greeted by a strange-shaped rockery rising in the crystal clear circular pool! On both sides of the rockery, among the green lotus leaves, there are more than a dozen pink lotus flowers that are about to bloom in the sky. In front of this rockery, there are three cranes with wings ready to fly, and their slender long legs have just skimmed out of the water, and they are about to take off......

At this time, the third prince and Xiao Luzi took a closer look and couldn't help but let out an "oh". It turned out that the three cranes that were about to rise from the water were actually made of stone, and their three long beaks were still spewing a trickle, which was really wonderful. Following the old man Li, they walked around the stone-paved path by the pool, and then walked towards the deep courtyard.

In the middle of the journey, there were faint wisps of elegant piano sound in front of me...... The sound of the harp, from far and near, drifted through the flowers and grass, and over the paths, wooden pavilions, and railings, all the way into the ears of the three of them. For the third son, who dotes on the sound of the piano, he can hear that in this ethereal sound of the piano, there is also a low and tactful soft singing, and the third son seems to see a pair of dexterous hands plucking the trembling strings! At this time, the third prince seemed to have understood all kinds of unspeakable love and tunes contained in it. It is just like a section of "the cold strings of the ice fountain are condensed, and the condensation will never stop." Don't have gloom and hatred, silence is better than sound at this time. ”

"Hey! Three sons! Hear me! Old man Li said suddenly, but he didn't know that he had interrupted the third son's continuous reverie.

"Uncle Lee! What do you hear? The third prince woke up like a dream, as if he had heard it, but now he didn't know where.

"It's my mistress who is playing the piano and singing." Old man Li pointed to the front and said, "Also, her two girls are still practicing swords!" ”

"Oh! That's it! The third prince immediately listened carefully, and sure enough, from the front came "Squeak!" Bell! Clang! The sound of metal striking!

"Wow! There are those who practice swords! Then I'll go check it out first! ”

After the little Lu Zi finished speaking, he ran forward, like a rabbit, which was beyond the reach of the dust.

At this time, the old man Li seemed to be a little anxious, and hurriedly raised his hand and shouted at the little boy who was running away: "Alas! No way! No way! Follow me this way! ”

However, where is Xiao Lu Zi, who loves to watch sword dancing, he has already walked a little impatiently, how fast he dances, why always follow this slowly soaring old man. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Luzi ran into the flowers and trees and disappeared.

"This little Luzi! Today he is in power! The third prince said helplessly to Old Man Li.

"Good! Just let him go! Childe comes with me! ”

After Old Man Li finished speaking, he slowly led the third prince to the east and entered a round door. Scold! Once here, it's like drilling into a long, deep tunnel! I saw the high walls on both sides towering, like catching the clouds! High above, the two walls seem to hold a heavenly path! Looking further down, I saw that the deep alley stretched straight forward until it was blocked by a high wall in the distance. If it weren't for Old Man Li leading the way, the third prince would really feel that he had entered a dead end.

However, the third prince still felt a little frightened, as if he felt that he was about to be isolated from the world! Finally, he opened his mouth and asked Old Man Li, "Uncle Li! How can two walls be built so high? I'm walking here feeling a little scared! ”

"Whoa! It's the safest place to be! No thief would want to get past this! ”

"It's for burglary!" The third prince pondered and said, "It's really a double insurance!" ”

"This is also all a scheming of the young village master!" Old man Li recalled and said, "It was two years ago to say that he was the master of the young village. Now, it's time to call him the head of the village! Two years ago, as soon as the owner of the old village passed away, he brought a talented woman from Yangzhou who was as beautiful as a fairy to be his wife. Since then, he has built his home at any cost, changing his old appearance. Even now, the northwest part of this compound is still being renovated! ”

At this time, the third prince was respectfully listening to Li Abo's narration, and suddenly saw Li Abo turn to the left and said, "Third son! Let's go this way! ”

The third prince couldn't help but look up, only to see that in the west wall of these two high walls, there was a round door, which seemed to be hidden in the middle of this deep alley. If he was not careful, he would not notice the round door under the wall, which made people feel like a dead end.

Under the leadership of Li Abo, the third prince followed him into the round gate and went west along the corridor. It's like a royal garden!

While walking, the third prince only felt that the elegant and graceful piano sound and singing voice he heard just now became more and more fresh and gentle, and the sound was full of longing and warmth. The third prince couldn't help but listen slowly, he seemed to feel that he had entered a holy place with a soft fragrance of flowers! Gradually, the third prince held on to the railing and walked gently towards the place where the sound came from.

Finally, the third prince stood on the steps at the edge of the corridor and saw the woman who was sitting in the corridor of the red pavilion playing the qin and singing, like Chang'e in the fairyland of the Moon Palace singing softly, and it was just like a dream in the Red Mansion. However, although the third prince was already fascinated by this beautiful sound, he still subconsciously looked at the environment in this courtyard. On the west side of the site there were two rows of weapon racks, on which were knives, spears, swords, arrows, halberds, axes, keys, hooks, forks, sticks, sticks, whips, palladiums, crutches, meteors, and other eighteen weapons, pointed, bladed, curved, thorny, edged, toothed, and hooked...... It's all kinds and everything! On both sides of the pavilion, colorful flags fluttered and red silk fluttered. High above, there is also a big flag surrounded by black circles and yellow with the word "white". When the third prince saw this, he couldn't help but wonder: "This is a general's banner!" Is this a school barn? Odd? How can there be such things in the yard? ”

The third prince was undecided, so he continued to stand on the edge of the corridor and watch, hoping to find something more. Suddenly, the third prince saw two women dressed in colorful costumes floating out from behind several large rocks to the west. I saw that one of them had yellow and gold darts wrapped in his hands, and a glittering gold hairpin on his head, his body was as light as a flying swallow, and his black hair was fluttering; The other is holding a red belt and silver and white darts in his hand, biting his long hair on the side of his ears, and is dancing the red and silver white darts in his hand.

At this time, the third prince and that Li Abel were simply fascinated and stunned!

Let's say that the hostess who is on the top of the pavilion, sitting with her face south and north away, playing the piano and singing, is Bai Yanli, the wife of Liu Zhentian, the owner of Wannian Village. The fluttering "white" banner is also her banner. At this time, Bai Yanli was sitting on the top of the pavilion and still singing emotionally. However, her shining eyes had already noticed the dazed young man in white beside Uncle Li, but as if she was unaware, she continued to pull the strings on the table and sang softly, "...... I want to know you well, there is no longevity - absolute - decline, mountains and rivers ——,- for - exhaustion——, winter thunder - earthquake, summer - rain - snow ——, heaven and earth - ——, dare to ——...... with - Jun - absolute "

said that the third prince at this time, until the sound of the piano had stopped, he still looked up at the other side, as if he was still recalling her charming singing just now.

Suddenly, the third prince never expected that he only felt like an illusion, only to see the hostess sitting at the end of the pavilion actually jumping in the air, standing firmly in the center of the field, looking directly at himself! Suddenly, the third son's eyes widened, feeling like he was facing a great enemy, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time, the two girls who were practicing on the side also stopped and came to the left and right of the hostess, staring at the uninvited guest in front of them together! For a while, the third prince only felt that his eyes were weak, and he looked left and right at a loss, hoping to get help. Besides, when Uncle Li saw this, he was about to talk forward, but he heard the hostess order: "Tie him up for me and take him upstairs to me!" ”

"Ahh When the third prince heard this, he was stunned, and without the slightest resistance, he was tied up by the two attendants.

"Take it away!"

Immediately, the third prince was pushed forward by the two attendants.

At this time, Uncle Li panicked. He hurriedly begged the hostess: "Master! Master! I can't help it! I can't help it! This is my young friend of the owner of the village, and I came to visit him today, so don't be unreasonable to him! ”

"Humph! You old man! The hostess folded her arms and said, "Don't you know that the owner of the village is not here today?" My white girl doesn't like to be disturbed, and if someone breaks into my door today, then don't blame me for being rude! ”

"Oops! Master! I know all of this! But do you know that he is the third young son of Dongdao Town! ”

"I don't care if he has three or two less!" Bai Yanli was still angry and said, "He dared to trespass into my mansion!" ”

"Alas! It's not him trespassing! I let him into the hospital to take a look. The old village owner still respected me for three points before, you also give me an old face, don't scare the three young sons! ”

After Li Abel finished saying these words, he didn't know whether he was angry or anxious in his heart, so he stood in front of the hostess and trembled.

Besides, when the hostess Bai Yanli saw this, she couldn't help but laugh loudly, as wonderful as a silver bell.

After laughing, Bai Yanli said to him: "Old butler, you don't have to be angry. I already knew that he was the third young son of the Ye family! Do you think my white girl can't see it? Don't be afraid, I'll let him out soon! ”

As soon as Bai Yanli finished speaking, a child-like person suddenly ran in front of her. I saw him running all the way to Uncle Li, sweating profusely and panting, and said, "Oops! I'm so tired that I almost got lost! Old man Li! What about the third son? ”
