"Why don't you come in?"

"Brother Gu said to ask a few words and leave."

Everyone looked at each other, Zhang Junxue put down her pen and said tentatively: "Then I'll go out first?" ”

"Okay! Think about it first. ”

Zhang Junxue strode out of the door, and as soon as she entered the yard, she felt how warm the house was just now, just a few steps, the cold was about to soak her body, but Zhang Junxue's heart was still warm, especially when she saw the kind face between the one-armed emanations.

Although Pei Ye and Li Yiqing were not there, if Brother Gu saw it at this moment, the woman was also very surprised.

"What's the matter, Big Brother Gu?" Zhang Junxue asked, the spring breeze on her face had not yet dissipated, her eyes were shining, and she was ready to invite him in the next sentence, so that he could see the brand-new short blade and the beautiful red silk with her name written on it.

"Is Zhang Wenqian here?" The man asked directly.

Zhang Wenqian is the head of the Zhang family.

Zhang Junxue was stunned, because there was an obvious boundary between the man's emotions and her at this time, and this question was cold and impolite.

"No, uncle, he didn't come to the state city this autumn, what's wrong?" Zhang Junxue looked at the man, and suddenly remembered that it was not the first time she had heard this question.

Two days ago, Li Yiqing also asked her, and said that if you see the head of the house in the city, remember to inform her.

Something seems to be happening in a place I didn't know existed.

"You come with me." Gu Guang said in a low voice.

The two were far away from the compound, Gu Guang looked at her and told her about it: "Zhang Wenqian wants to help Shang Huaitong testify about last year's winter competition." ”

“.” Caught off guard by the heavy blow, Zhang Junxue's whole body froze, and she couldn't find her heart for a while.

Gu Guang looked at her and was silent for a while, because when he met Zhang Junyan just now, there was also a much more polite, but essentially the same conversation here.

Zhang Junyan didn't know that his father had come to the state city.

——The head of the Zhang family, sure enough, it was because of his wisdom and courage that he dared to hide it from everyone and made this secret deal with Qijiao.

"Zhang Wenqian secretly came to the state city two days ago, and it was Cuiyu's intelligence."

“.”

"Cui Yu suspects that he has cooperated with Qijiao Cave." Gu Guang explained, "Sui Zaihua returned to the state city tonight, and Zhang Wenqian Ruoru is really not in Zhang's house. That can only be in the state office. ”

Zhang Junxue looked at him in a daze: "How is it possible." ”

"This is what Li Yiqing told me, and I believe it." Gu Guang said, "Your head of the family has always been quite ambitious, and he has always tried his best to plan the growth of the Zhang family and dare to do things. Qijiao Mansion is about to collapse, I think he is going to take the Zhang family to eat a bite of meat. ”

“.”

Gu Guang looked at the woman with a stiff face, sighed lightly, and showed a gentle smile: "But you don't have to worry about it, this is what is happening tonight, I just want to have a bottom in my heart - what to do when I go back." ”

Zhang Junxue didn't say a word, or even didn't move.

What's wrong?" Gu Guang looked at the woman, he didn't remember what kind of relationship she had with Zhang Wenqian, and in the past year, the woman had been quite cold in the Zhang family, so she shouldn't have this expression.

“.”

"I just saw that there was a bit of a buzz in the house, what were they doing?"

"Bow me with a sword." Zhang Junxue said in a low voice, and Leng Yue illuminated her face pale.

“.” Gu Guang's throat choked.

She suddenly remembered that at the end of the afternoon, the young man smiled and said, "She left with the people of the Zhang family, saying that she wanted to eat and celebrate." ”

"I'm really sorry, I-" The man was a little flustered, he naturally knew the weight of this etiquette - if he had heard Zhang Junyan enter the house just now and saw the short knife and red silk, he would definitely not have said what he had just said.

He took a deep breath, looked at the woman in front of him who was silently looking at the ground, and said seriously: "Jun Xue, you go back and continue to finish the ceremony." This is just my speculation, and I'll give you a head start; Second, even if Zhang Wenqian had any deal with Qijiao, he was only robbing while the fire was on fire, and it did not mean that the Zhang family stood on Qijiao's side. These things are sought by meat eaters, you don't have to think too much, Jun Xue. ”

"Hmm."

"Then you go back and continue the ceremony, this matter is very important, don't interrupt it for too long." Gu Guang smiled and patted her on the shoulder, trying to get rid of the topic just now, "Congratulations - the short knife is like snow, the grudge is clear, Jun Xue, you will soon be a real Zhang family swordsman." ”

——

Zhang Junxue walked back to the courtyard, and the moonlight was still coldly sprinkled on the canopy.

Just as she had just come out of the warm room and did not feel cold, she did not feel warm when she walked back into the house.

Stepping into the threshold, as soon as she looked up, the bright red silk was still hanging on the wall, and the short knife below was as bright as a mirror, and when she entered the door, eight or nine faces turned around at the same time, and everyone had a warm and expectant smile on their faces.

The atmosphere was still exactly the same as when I first left.

The third brother shouted: "Jun Xue, do you remember what to write when you go out - did you let the ancient brother come up with an idea?" ”

“.”

Without leaving her time to answer, Zhang Junyan had already walked over from the other side with a plate, the persimmons on it had been divided, and now there was only a pear.

He handed it to her again.

"Don't take it yet, Jun Xue." Zhang Junyan smiled proudly, "Guess what the name is this time." ”

“.”

"It's called, 'no persimmon leftover pear'!" Seeing that the woman was silent, Zhang Junyan announced loudly.

“.”

Next to her, Zhang Junlan laughed softly and fell on her.

Zhang Junxue gently pushed the young lady away, looked at Zhang Wendi, and asked in a low voice, "Third uncle. Is Uncle at home? ”

The old man and Yue's smile froze for a moment: "What? ”

"Uncle." Zhang Junxue lowered her head and repeated, "Brother Gu asked where the uncle is?" ”

Zhang Junyan laughed behind him: "I answered him, my father didn't come - Junxue, you are also stupid." ”

But Zhang Wendi's smile faded, he ignored Zhang Junyan, turned around and said, "You come with me, Jun Xue." ”

"Did Uncle go to the state office?"

“.”

The hall was quiet for a moment, the warmth on everyone's faces stiffened, and everyone realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Zhang Wendi turned around, and the smile on his face had completely disappeared.

"Are you going to talk about it here?" The old man looked at her coldly, and his voice did not fluctuate, "Zhang Junxue." ”

The tall woman raised her head and looked at the old man: "Uncle really wants to testify for Qijiao Cave and say that he is a sister. Did you murder Shang Huaitong? ”

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly, and a terrifying silence appeared in the room.

Isn't it. What is the misunderstanding. Zhang Junlan took a step forward a little helplessly, "Jun Xue. Daddy"

Zhang Wendi looked at Zhang Junxue, his disgusting eyes seemed to look at a snake that was introduced into the house with his own hands: "So what?" ”

"He was the one who killed my sister." Zhang Junxue said stiffly, "My sister is dead." ”

"Do you tell me when you're dead?!" Zhang Wendi took a step forward suddenly, "Junyu was taught by me!" ”

He looked at Zhang Junxue: "What, can you bring her back to life?" ”

"I'll avenge her."

"Who wouldn't want to avenge her?!" Zhang asked Di and roared, "How do you report it?" Luo Defeng?! ”

Zhang Junxue looked at him silently.

Zhang Wendi took two deep breaths, and the hall was silent.

"Since Zhang Junxue said it here, I'll tell you what's going on." He glanced at everyone, and finally put his cold gaze on Zhang Junxue's face, "This is the resolution in the ancestral hall, according to the family rules, there are no four people. I didn't expect that there would be outsiders' tongues at home. ”

He took two steps back, turned around to help the case, and his tone had calmed down: "The head of the family entered the state city three days ago and temporarily lived in Qijiao's place, indeed to help Shang Huaitong clear up the suspicion of the old case. Because Qi Jiao is now bent on sending him to the Sword Cultivation Academy, this matter can be regarded as an obstacle. We agreed to this matter, not to be Qijiao's doglegs, but after discussing it in the ancestral hall, we thought that this matter was urgent for us, and this matter was the icing on the cake for Qijiao, not a charcoal in the snow, but for the Zhang family, it was a rare opportunity. ”

The old man raised his hand: "First, the key to Shang Huaitong's cultivation of the Sword Academy is not in our testimony. What Lord Sui really values is the type of sword he masters. Zhang asked Di Dao, "This type of sword, the head of the family has seen it, and I have also seen it, Shang Huaitong can learn it with his current age and cultivation, to put it mildly, if there is our testimony, the Sword Cultivation Academy will happily welcome him in; And even without our testimony, the Sword Cultivation Academy will pinch his nose and take him in. ”

"Second, the chips offered by Qijiaodong for this move are eight hundred taels of silver, three sword techniques, and the Zhang family will pick ten properties, and they will secretly cooperate with the handover." Zhang Wendi said, "As of yesterday, the Zhang family has obtained five of them, as well as half of the dry shares of Bowangyuan. ”

“.” Everyone was dazed, frowning, and their eyes suddenly enlarged.

At first, they were at a loss and couldn't believe that they heard that the head of the family actually helped Qijiao do things, but when such a huge profit was placed in front of them, the pimple was smoothed down a lot.

There is no need for a name, nor a reality, but the head of the family can get such a huge gain by secretly saying two words, in all fairness, this is indeed a move by the Zhang family.

The hall was still quiet, but the atmosphere was noticeably calmer.

This is indeed an inconvenient thing to disclose, but it is indeed a rare opportunity for the Zhang family - without the cooperation of Qijiaodong itself, how many things can the Zhang family grab in the later division?

And if you want to take revenge after doing this, you can still take revenge.

In the quiet, Zhang Junlan gently took Zhang Junxue's hand again, and said softly in a low voice: "Junxue, what Daddy said is angry, let's sit down first and talk slowly, okay?" ”

The other brothers and sisters also looked at each other, and after the sudden shock passed, they also felt that this matter could indeed be discussed slowly, and they all looked at the little sister who had just integrated in.

The hall quieted down, and Zhang Wendi's anger caused by Zhang Junxue's public revelation of the secret also subsided, he looked at the woman and said calmly: "Zhang Junxue, how much injustice and infamy your sister has brought to the Zhang family, and for more than half a year, who in the Zhang family has not endured?" Qijiao originally wanted us to publicly declare that it was Jun Yu's sin, and asked you to testify by name, but the head of the family refused in the first sentence. Now it's just that he is telling two lies in the state office, and if there is anything humiliating, it is also the head of the family who is suffering. Say two words about your sister's affairs and seek compensation for each Zhang family, do you think it's okay? ”

“.”

Zhang Wendi took a deep breath and took a step back, and the woman's long silence calmed him down: "Come over and finish the ceremony." ”

Zhang Junxue didn't move, Zhang Junyan immediately stepped forward and gently pushed her, and said in a low voice: "Junxue, go quickly." ”

After all, she is the most outstanding young person of the Zhang family's generation, and after a collision of three or two sentences, the elders will not be rash, and the brothers and sisters are willing to tolerate her.

The woman, however, remained motionless.

She wasn't waiting for a face-saving step, she really made up her mind like this, and she didn't mean to act according to her words at all.

Zhang Junyan coaxed and pushed twice, but the little sister's well-behaved and embarrassed just now disappeared completely, and she returned to her silent and depressed appearance, like a clumsy stone that has not changed for thousands of years.

"My sister is sorry for everyone, so she committed suicide." Zhang Junxue lowered her head and said, "If you don't think it's enough. Later, I will return it to the Zhang family for her. ”

"However, it was Shang Huaitong who harmed my sister. When she died, she didn't look like a person. The woman repeated again, "No one can. . . Slander her. ”

Zhang Wendi suddenly turned around: "What if you slander?" ”

"Second master, fourth master, uncle, you, you. None of them deserve to carry the Wish Knife! Zhang Junxue also raised her head and looked straight at him, once this dull voice became short, it became resolute and powerful, "Zhang Jiadao never bows to the enemy. ”

"If you say two soft words and lies, you can get a lot of things that you think are good, that's good. I don't have a wish knife, I can't make a decision, what the Zhang family wants to do, naturally you have the final say. Zhang Junxue stepped forward, lowered her head and picked up the pen, looking at the third uncle and the fifth uncle, and the brothers and sisters in the hall, "But."

She turned around and wrote the three ink characters "Shang Huaitong" on the red silk, then lifted the bloodstained dagger and pinned it to the wall with a heavy stab.

She looked at the blood-colored red silk: "Whatever you want. I will kill Shang Huaitong. ”

No one thought that such a resolute and fiery hatred could erupt from this clumsy woman who was as stuffy as a gourd, gritting her teeth, the bulging tendons on her neck and her jaw together.

A person with such hatred will surely pierce everything sharply, how can there be relatives and friends?

In silence and staring, Zhang Junxue turned and walked out the door, entering the dark cold night from the warm orange light, and the autumn dew made her skin shudder.

In the distance, a tall, one-armed man loomed there.

——

On the long street, outside the state office, Li Yiqing looked at the person in front of him coldly, playing with the ornamental feathers on the Lost Jade Sword with one hand.

Zhang Wenqian was silent.

"The head of the Zhang family is really a dragon swimming in the water, and there is no obstacle to coming and going."

The Zhang family has to find a way to live and be less in charge." Zhang Wenqian said in a low voice, "Cui Yu also has the ambition of revival, so he should be able to understand. The situation is difficult, and the Zhang family must find a way for themselves, and we have also thought about it carefully, and this move will not be of much help to Qijiao——"

"I don't care how difficult your Zhang family is, Master Zhang." Li Yiqing interrupted and looked at him with lowered eyes, "How do you prove to me that the Zhang family is not on the side of Qijiao." ”

After the martial arts competition, we will ask the young master to see the sincerity." Zhang Wenqian's bow has not been raised.

"I'll take a closer look." Li Yiqing said coldly, put away his sword and got up.

Reconciled with myself!

In fact, I finished 4,000 words the night before, and I started planning to finish this plot at half past seven in the morning, and at 12 o'clock I had six or seven thousand words.

But I was entangled and dissatisfied with what I wrote, and I was still changing the 4,000 words until 12 o'clock, so I sent two thousand to ask for a leave of absence.

Then one afternoon, I wrote three ways to deal with this plot, all of which were good and bad, and I always wanted to find a way that was particularly satisfying with a flash of inspiration, but I didn't have foreshadowing and thinking before, and it was really difficult to write it suddenly, and it was really difficult to write it again, and I still had no clue, so I had to compromise and choose one of the three to write.

After all, the author is not a code firefly.

Another point is that today is equivalent to 8,000 words, and tomorrow the class will be full in one day, so there may not be at noon.

(Originally, I planned to be six or seven thousand today, and 4,000 tomorrow as usual, but Kavin is like this, his energy and time are exhausted, but he only gets two or three thousand scraps)
