On the long street in the dark night, Li Yiqing and the old man walked south.

On the side of the road, I met a tall man heading north, it was Gu Guang.

The two parties greeted each other, and Li Yiqing asked, "Where is Big Brother Gu going?" ”

"Oh, I'll go to Zhang's house." Gu Guang smiled, "I guess they're done eating, and Xun Junxue has something to say." ”

"Oh, can Brother Gu ask Jun Xue on my behalf to see if the head of the Zhang family is there for her."

"Yes." Gu Guang was a little dazed, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Li Yiqing paused for a moment and said with a smile: "This family master sneaked into the city two days ago and disappeared, and we suspect that he has some deal with Qijiao. ”

"What?" Gu Guang stared.

These words somewhat disturbed his thinking, Shang Huaitong was the culprit who caused the Zhang family to fall into a dilemma, and it was too late to hate, how to make a deal.

What's more, now Qijiao is the building is about to fall, and the head of the Zhang family is also wise and daring, otherwise he would not have made a strong effort to promote the cooperation with Zheng Shou back then, how could he do such a dizzy thing now?

"It's a pity that the time is too short, I can't find him, and I don't know what Qijiao will do with him." The girl sighed slowly, "But we just received a message, and it seems that we have eyebrows." ”

"Found it?"

"No, it's the Lord Sui a few days ago, who returned to Bowang tonight."

“.”

"If the head of the family is in the Zhang family, I will bother you to deliver a message to the state office, if not, you will be busy with you." Li Yiqing smiled again.

Gu Guang solemnly nodded: "I'll go over now." ”

Watching the man stride away, Li Yiqing put away the smile on his face and regained his calm eyebrows.

"It's an endless list of moths." The girl leaned against the old man and sighed a little irritably.

Li Weiru smiled kindly: "No one will wait for death obediently and skillfully, we have been advancing all the time in the past few days, and Qijiao must have done everything he could." ”

Li Yiqing looked at the state government in the distance and took a deep breath: "Let's go over quickly." ”

"I don't think you have to get your hopes up too much, you might as well go back and eat a bowl of fish."

Li Yiqing glared at him: "You plan to let go, you can see everything." ”

Li Weiru smiled: "If you can go to the Sword Cultivation Academy, I will bear the burden for another two years." ”

————————————

In the broad courtyard in the north of the city, where the Zhang family stayed.

The cold white moon sprinkled on the lush canopy of the trees, painting the whole courtyard in a cold light, but there was an orange fire reflected from below, but it was the candlelight from the doors and windows under the trees.

The cool night was completely shut out, and the house was filled with orange warmth by the firelight.

At the end of the banquet, the atmosphere was completely cheerful, and more than a dozen people sat down casually and chatted about various topics.

Zhang Junxue sat on a long couch, the hall in front of him had just been cleaned up by them together, the ground was empty, the walls were as new, and a long table was placed under the middle hall, waiting for something to be placed.

The two elders were not in the house, just to prepare for the "sword inscription" later.

To be honest, Zhang Junxue is still a little nervous.

This is the family custom of the Zhang family passed down from generation to generation, originating from the bloody times of the previous dynasty, at that time, the disciples of the Zhang family had a deep hatred and ambition, so they dyed the cloth with blood, and wrote a letter to serve the cause of death, and then wrapped in a knife and left. If it can be achieved, it will be inscribed on the knife and sacrificed to the ancestral shrine; Even if it can't be done, as long as it does not violate its will for life, it is also inscribed on the knife, and then buried with it, with the strong blood of the disciples of the Zhang family.

Now that the times have changed and the family has declined, although this old habit is no longer so tragic, it is still an extremely positive ritual of the Zhang family.

What it represents is still the word "success".

It must be a talented person of the Zhang family, not to do nothing, only to do great things, to accept this gift, "to serve the knife", to have a responsibility; After the "wish", it is a glory.

And for the Zhang family, this is not only the vanity of the name, it actually represents a solid "power of deacon", every time there is a major event, the person who wears the Ming Wish Knife can enter the ancestral shrine to discuss, and even if it is taken outside, as long as the Ming Wish Knife is put out, those who know how to do it will know that it is the pillar of the Zhang family.

At this time, the Zhang family only existed four inscription knives.

The final on the last day of the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition is naturally a big event, and the two uncles prepared this gift for Zhang Junxue according to reason, which is a hidden recognition - regardless of the previous suspicions, since they are still a member of the Zhang family, they must have what they should have, and if they can engrave this wish, she is the fifth.

However, whether it can be "remembered" is a matter of later, the current practice is only the "sword" ceremony, and there are still quite a lot of people who have performed the first half of the ceremony, and some have not been able to achieve the wish of the year for more than ten years.

And Zhang Junxue wrote at this time, it is likely that it will be engraved in the next session and the next session, and the meaning of this ceremony is still more than the truth, which is about the meaning of blessing and heroism.

Zhang Junxue has seen this etiquette, its process is actually very simple, and it can even be said to be rude, but the solemnity and yearning that have been left in her heart since childhood linger in the woman's heart.

From a certain point of view, it is even difficult to say which one makes her happier to take down the Wubi Leader or the Depei Ming Wish Sword.

Therefore, at this time, I was inevitably a little nervous in my heart, and I couldn't help but look over there from time to time.

In fact, she hadn't even figured out what to write.

The young lady of the third uncle's family leaned close to her, the Zhang family is generally tall, but women are generally only taller than others, and it is very rare for someone as tall and strong as Zhang Junxue to be in the Zhang family, this Zhang Junlan is a little bird next to her.

At this time, he was whispering an idea for her: "If you write the leader, you will definitely not be able to get it this year, so it is better to write a top four, according to the difficulty of this year, it must be considered a high goal." And when it comes to the weak season, this goal is still barely enough, and everyone will still recognize it, and it will be completed at that time. ”

This young lady is indeed very reasonable, but Zhang Junxue quietly disagrees in her heart - our "sword wishes" should be based on our own ambitions, and we must do something worthy of ourselves and surprise others.

But she was now carefully enjoying the relationship that had just been repaired, and did not want to express any dissenting opinions.

The two of them were talking and listening here, but Zhang Junyan in front of him walked over with a plate of persimmons and smiled, only to see five small red lanterns stacked together upright - four were arranged in a square base below, and the last one was placed in the center.

Zhang Junlan was about to take it, but was dodged by Zhang Junyan: "Eh! What are you anxious about? ”

He handed the plate back to Zhang Junxue, and said with a smile: "Junxue, take the top one!" ”

"It's too deliberate."

Zhang Junyan glanced at her: "You won't play martial arts tomorrow - this is called 'Five Persimmon Champions'!" ”

Zhang Junlan was speechless: "When did there be such a strange color head." ”

"I just thought so."

I will send 2,000 words first, and the second one will be longer, and I will send it out together when I finish writing it today. It may be late, so you don't have to wait.
