"Master Gu?" The woman kicked the stirrup, straightened up and turned forward, and bowed to the ground.

The person who came with a sword eyebrow and a half-inch beard in his eyes was Gu Chen, the owner of Yijian Villa, and the people in the rivers and lakes called the smiling sword. He took a few steps forward and raised his hand to salute back: "Mrs. Su, Gu is presumptuous." ”

The woman is Su Jiutian's wife, Ma Yuehe, the current head of the Linqi Su family. Sensitive at the moment, she did not relax her vigilance because of Gu Chen's politeness, but her face was no longer stiff, and she asked with a light smile: "I don't know why Master Gu Zhuang stopped me from waiting here?" To tell you the truth, we are waiting for urgent matters. ”

"Gu knows." Gu Chen took out a letter from his placket: "After Mrs. Su read it, she understood. Afraid of frightening them, he did not come closer, and threw the letter at Ma Yuehe.

Ma Yuehe caught it, glanced at the narrow and slightly curly envelope, checked the seal without a trace, and took out the letter in the envelope. Seeing the handwriting, her eyes rippled, and she forcibly suppressed the bitterness, and read it quickly. The letter is not long, only more than 100 words, but every word is important.

The eldest girl said that the three families of Lin, Wang, and Han had known that the Su family had hidden swordsmanship, and a thousand gold bought the life of the Su family. In order to deal with those three families, and to avoid future troubles, the Su family should choose to rely on it strongly.

Tingling pain in the nose, Ma Yuehe read the letter three times before carefully putting it away, it was the Su family who couldn't stand her big girl. If it weren't for those codexes, how could the big girl suffer such a crime? Taking a deep breath and calming down her good mood, she gave up her hand again: "Master Gu, can you take a step to speak." ”

"Okay." didn't see the unhappiness on Ma Yuehe's face, and Gu Chen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Su Yuzhi is Su Jiutian's eldest daughter, she has been married for seven years, and she may not be the head of her mother's family. If Ma Yuehe is stubborn and unwilling, then the Sword Villa can't be forced.

The two walked a few steps, and Ma Yuehe opened his mouth first: "The Su family is willing to hand over the sword-casting technique..."

Gu Chen raised his hand to stop: "It's not handing it over, it's the Su family cooperating with Yijian Villa to forge a sword." Yijian Villa is thirsty for swords, but it also has a heavy name. He turned sideways and looked at Su Yucheng, who had dismounted and took advantage of the time to redress the wound on his arm, "If you don't worry, you can hand over your two sons to Yijian Villa." ”

Ma Yuehe has also lived for almost fifty years, whether Gu Chen is sincere or not, she can deceive: "Master Gu Zhuang is worthy of the title of Sword King." ”

Gu Chen smiled: "Thank you Mrs. Su for your approval," retracting his gaze, "Then let's talk about the next arrangements." ”

"Okay."

Above, two eagles spun in circles. After half a cup of tea, when Gu Chen ran again, they immediately followed and surpassed to explore the way. Ma Yuehe got on the horse and looked back at Da'er: "Are you okay?" ”

Su Yucheng shook his head: "It's just a little flesh injury, it's okay." Looking at the back of the owner of Gu Zhuang who was about to disappear, his legs were between the horse's belly, "Mother, let's follow quickly." ”

"Okay." Ma Yuehe beat the horse, and a few days ago on the night, thirty masked men broke into Su's house with a sword. How many people are there in her Su family? The three families of Lin, Wang, and Han really put their hearts into it. If it hadn't been for the letter in advance, the precautions, and the protection of the three cicadas, the Su family would have been wiped out that night.

has no hatred or resentment, and when she suffered this catastrophe, she accumulated a stomach full of depression. This time I went to Xishu City for nothing else, just to seek justice and bring back her big girl.

The night was peaceful, and the next morning, Xin Shansi fed her daughter properly and fed, and was waiting for news. When she heard that the door of Lin's house was wide open, she knew that she was waiting for guests: "Don't worry, let's wait until all his guests come to the door." "To confront you, of course, to testify.

Su Yuzhi nodded: "Don't lie to you, I'm calmer now than ever." Looking at the snow dumplings in Dr. Li's arms, I wanted to hug but felt inappropriate. Seeing the villain, she immediately took a bite of the pin woman in her hand.

Li Jiujiu stared at her chewing mouth, and her small mouth moved accordingly. When the ruler saw this, he went to the basket and picked out the reddest Pinpo, washed and peeled the skin, and gave it to the Lord. Seeing that her father was there, Li Jiujiu was anxious, and rushed to her father's hand with his small mouth open.

Why are you so greedy? Xin Shansi hurriedly gave up her seat to Dr. Li. Li Shang sat down and let everyone appreciate the beauty of his girl's two little paws hugging Pinpo and sucking her mouth against Pinpo.

Sucking it out, Li Jiujiu tightly pressed Pinpo, who was not much smaller than her face. Xinshansi also went over and tugged at her little paw, which was firmly squeezed.

Feng Xi was very greedy, squatted on the side and secretly scratched the little guy's small cloth upper with his fingers. Li Jiujiu's little feet hooked, and he knew how to kick when he harassed her again. On the side, Gu Ming also clasped his arms with both hands, glanced at Feng Xiyi's hand that was kicked away, and raised his lower lip slightly.

Seeing that the girl was sweating, Li Shang took away the pinpo. The little guy didn't make a fuss, a smiling face, and sighed heavily.

How can you be so cute? Xin Shansi hugged her and kissed her. Feng Xi stood up and stretched out his hands: "Give me a hug." ”

Li Shang sat on the bench and looked at Feng Xiyi from top to bottom: "Your gold and silver accessories are not suitable for holding children." ”

Rolling his eyes, Feng Xi withdrew his hand and turned to face Gu Mingyi: "I want to give birth to a son, teach him how to coax a girl from an early age, just hook..." ”

Su Yuzhi laughed: "Then you have to teach it well, don't let people come back when the time comes, and pay a son out." ”

After getting along for a while, Gu Ming has also adapted to her boldness, and in her opinion, although her heart will still beat fast, her ears will no longer be hot and red, and she will turn her face: "Don't point it, Dr. Li's family of three is staring at you." ”

"Let's talk about it first, my daughter will not be far away to marry." Xin Shansi hooked her daughter's sticky little fleshy hand: "If you want to marry, move to my house first." ”

So more than a mile is a long-distance marriage? Gu Ming also smiled at the little girl Li Jiuyao. Li Shang got up, blocked their gaze in the past, and put one hand on the little guy's waist and buttocks: "When will I go to the dark market to see if there are any Gu worm eggs for sale?" ”

Feng Xi grinned and grimaced, these two are really enough, one is more tricky than the other. Who will say that they are strange in the future, she will definitely lead the person to these two people and open the eyes of that person.

Li Shang hugged his daughter and stood sideways, making the top of his daughter's head towards Gu Mingyi. Gu Ming was also very timid, and walked closer to the front, clapping his hands: "For a long time, Uncle Gu hugs." ”

Su Yuzhi gave him a thumbs up. Seeing Dr. Li's cold face, Xin Shan Si Tule, Gu Ming also has no accessories on his body, which is quite suitable for holding children.

Li Shang turned around: "Men and women don't kiss." ”

"Doctor Li..."Gu Ming also asked with a smile: "Has anyone said that you are domineering?" ”

"No, you're the first." Li Shang looked down at the girl he was playing silly: "I want to hold the child, and I will give birth to myself." "He hasn't hugged enough, how can he let an outsider get his hands dirty?

Feng Xiao snatched the scarf, Xin Shansi took over, and went up to wipe her daughter's small meat paws: "Young Master Gu, do you know Gushan?" In the past two days, she thought about it, and always felt that the shopkeeper Mi was very likely to be by Fang Kuo's side. recalled the plot in the book again, and found that Gu Ming didn't seem to like the eldest disciple of Shaolin, Gushan.

Gu Ming also frowned: "What you said is the first big disciple of Shaolin to complain... Lonely Mountain? ”

"Yes, that's him." Xin Shan looked at Gu Mingyi's face.

Gu Ming also seemed to have thought of something bad, although the smile on his face was still there, but there was more mockery: "Not only do I know, but I have also been blamed by him." ”

"Blame you?" Feng Xiyi was unhappy: "Why? ”

Although it was five years ago, Gu Ming still remembers: "In the spring of the nineteenth year of Taishun, I sent a letter to Hushan Langting on behalf of my father, and went all the way to Xuyun City. Xuyun City is a big city in the central and eastern part of Dameng, and it is more prosperous than Tanzhou. I've been on the road for seven or eight days, and I'm going to stay in Xuyun City for a day.

My mother was weak and rarely traveled far, but she loved novelties. Every time my father went out, he would come back to her in search of something new, and I was average. There is a glass shop in Xuyun City, and things are very dexterous, and my father bought a lamp there, and my mother liked it very much. It's all here, and I'm bound to go around.

The items in the shop are not cheap, but there are many customers. I took a fancy to a pair of little tiger heads, and when I was about to go to the checkout, I heard that there was a sword waiting for someone in the dark market of Donglin Water outside the city. When I returned to the inn, I left the room and went out of Xuyun City and went to Donglin Water Dark City.

There was indeed a sword in the dark market, and the stall owner was a girl in white with a white veil half-covered face, sitting softly and weakly on an embroidered stool. Behind her stood a maidservant, and the sword was held by the maidservant. There was an endless stream of swordsmen who came to try their luck, so I didn't rush forward, and stood a little farther away to watch.

Ninety percent of swordsmen, the girl just glanced at it and shook her head and said that there was no chance. The rest of the layer felt the sword and pulled out the sword, but the girl offered a few tricks and made a few moves, but in the end she either couldn't pay the ten thousand gold or was rejected by the girl. ”

"Is this looking for someone who is destined?" Xin Shan thought about calling Lu Yao to ask.

Gu Ming also didn't understand: "That sword doesn't need to be touched, and at a glance, you can see that it is more than a little better than the sword I use." Although I didn't have 10,000 dollars, I could borrow it from my father and mother first, so I didn't hesitate to step forward. The sword weighed eleven pounds, and the sword body was four feet four feet four inches long and one and a half fingers wide. It is said to be a hard sword, but the blade is very thin and tough, and the echo is very pleasant to listen to when you flick it with your fingers. ”

She didn't want to hear this, and Feng Xiyi wanted to know why he didn't get the sword in the end.

"I was ready to pay 10,000 dollars, but the girl took a blessing and said that the sword was handed down by her ancestors and that it was her dowry. If I want to, I'll have to take her with me. Gu Ming can't forget that feeling at that time.

Xin Shansi smiled: "And then? ”

Turning his head to look at Feng Xiyi, who had a sinking face, Gu Ming also cleared his throat: "Then, I will ask if I can pay for gold and silver?" The girl's eyes immediately filled with tears when she heard this, and she asked me timidly, is she so unbearable? I was confused by her questions..."

"People want to marry you." Feng Xi was very sour.

"I was only nineteen years old at the time, and I didn't even think about starting a family." Gu Ming also looked at Doctor Shangli, and then said, "The other party doesn't want to accept the gold, so I want to return the sword." But the girl refused to put away her sword, and said sadly that she had been waiting for someone who was destined for a month. I will reply to her, and people who are destined will also tell you and me. The girl also said that she was not in good health, and that she had only sent her grandfather away three months ago, and that she had no relatives at home, and begged me to take her with her. She also said that she would not live for a few years, and she would not disturb me in my search for love..."

Xin Shansi frowned, why did she think something was wrong? Li Shang helped her find it: "You just said that your mother is not well?" ”

"Yes." Gu Ming also said: "My mother is an orphan of my grandfather's old friend, and when she married my father, she also said that she would not live for a few years, and coaxed my father to only have to endure for a few years, not only the sword in his hand belongs to the Gu family, but the Gu family can also enjoy her dowry."

After the two got married, my father went around asking her for a doctor, and within a few years she gave birth to me. Up to now, he is ruddy and can eat and sleep, and he can quarrel with my father for a year and a half, calling me a sword idiot. ”

It's good, Xin Shansi's brows stretched: "Continue to talk about you and Gushan." ”

"The Lonely Mountain appeared when I returned the sword." When it came to this person, Gu Ming's heart was not beautiful: "I don't know if he is stupid in chanting scriptures, or is he deliberately targeting me?" He said, "I have the heart to ask for the sword, and the owner of the sword has the heart to give the sword, and I should cherish this fate." It was also because I was not deeply involved in the world at that time, and my mouth was upright, and I said bluntly that I wanted a sword, but people couldn't do it, and I could pay for it. These words pierced the girl, and she collapsed to the ground. ”

Feng Xi hated that she was not present: "She wants to rely on you." ”

A little, Gu Ming also smiled bitterly: "Seeing that the girl was paralyzed on the ground, Gushan raised his face and blamed me for having no intention of marrying someone else, why should I provoke it?" I was also bored, so I asked Gushan to look at her stall by himself, and only said that he was destined for someone, but he didn't mention that if he wanted a sword, he had to ask for someone together. In addition, I watched from the sidelines for a long time, and she had never mentioned the sword as her dowry before. ”

"Gushan wants you to take her." Li Shang said.

Gu Ming also nodded: "Yes." Seeing that I did not obey, he accused me of not having any chivalrous heart even though I held a sword in my hand, and said that the girl knew that she was not a long-lived person, and that everyone begged me for her cruelty regardless of her reserve, and I turned my eyebrows cold. Many people gathered around me and persuaded me to fulfill the girl's infatuation. I was so angry that I dropped my sword and left. ”

Full of righteousness and compassion? Xin Shansi recalled Gu Mingyi's incident: "After that, have you ever met Gushan again?" ”

"Once." Gu Ming also said: "My father said that after ten or twenty years of lonely mountains without accidents, he will accept the master's grievances and sit on the first seat of Shaolin. ”

"Ten or twenty years..."Su Yuzhi asked, "How old is Gushan?" ”

Feng Xiyi replied: "There are forty-one and twelve." ”

"Forty and three." Wind smiled and gave the number.

Twenty years ago, Gushan was in his early twenties. Xin Shan felt that this could be regarded as a key object of suspicion: "Resentment and Fang Kuo are..."

"It's Fang Kuo's junior brother." Li Shang put the yawning girl in the nest basket. Gu Ming also leaned to the edge of the basket: "Mrs. Yan has also met Gushan?" ”

"I haven't met Gushan, but Xin Liangyou should have met him." Xin Shansi pulled her lips and smiled and made it up: "He mentioned Gushan to me, according to the precedent, this is a murderous intent." Only Xin Yue'er took the first step to tell me that my mother had been killed, and I made the plan to escape, otherwise it would be either Gushan or I would die. ”

Li Shang looked at the fat girl who was kicking her feet in the basket of eye sockets, and decided to comfort her mother first. Walked over to Shanth and took her hand and clenched it.

Qi Jian said: "It's best not to meet this lonely mountain, I feel that he is a little confused." ”

"You said he couldn't carry it clearly, but the owner of the village said that he would become the first seat in Shaolin..." Why did she feel that there was a strangeness everywhere inside: "Young Master Gu, would you like a weak woman like your mother?" ”

Gu Ming didn't feel offended, and thought about it seriously: "My mother is just weak, but her temperament is not weak at all, she takes care of the housekeeping of Yijian Villa in an orderly manner, so that my father has no worries at all." My father also loves her, and he speaks twice softer in front of her. My mother's bones are very hard, and she never forces people, which is completely different from the girl I met in the dark market of Donglinshui in Xuyun City. ”

Gut feeling... Gu Ming also escaped. Xin Shansi turned her head to look back at Dr. Li, with doubt in her eyes.

Gu Ming also took the opportunity to lean over and carefully picked up the little girl in the basket, so soft. Li Shang caught a glimpse, and his face immediately darkened. Feng Xi laughed, Su Yuzhi didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Gu Ming also followed Dr. Li's example and put the little girl in the crook of his arm. Li Jiujiu faced her father with a smile. Xin Shan thought about it At this time, would Dr. Li let go of her hand and snatch his daughter back?

"She's going to sleep, you put her back in the basket." Li Shang's voice was cold.

Gu Ming also looked down at the little girl in the crook of his arm, and whispered: "Jiujiu, are you going to sleep?" ”

"Hah..."Li Jiujiu was happy, not a little sleepy. Li Shangdu laughed angrily, Gu Ming didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and returned the little girl to her father after hugging her for a while.

In Xiaochun Alley, the gate of the Lin family was also open to thirteen or fourteen guests, some of whom were holding posts and some who were not invited, and they did not show up until the afternoon of Wudang, Emei, and Yijian Villa.

At the end of the day, Xin Shan thought that it was almost time, so she left to go downstairs. As soon as they left the inn, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, Su Yuzhi turned her head to look at it, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Yuzhi..."Ma Yuehe pulled the reins, and without waiting for the horse to stop, she turned over and rushed down to her daughter who was running over. Gu Chen then raised his hand and saluted by the nine Zhengsei of Yijian Villa. Li looked at the young man whose eyes fell on Shansi, he should be Su Yuzhi's second brother, Su Yucheng.

Gu Chen arched his hand: "Doctor Li, Mrs. Yan, this incident makes the two of you tired." ”

Xin Shan thought about it: "Master Gu Zhuang came at the right time, we are about to go to the Lin family. ”

Gu Chen turned his head to look at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other and crying bitterly: "Can you let me wait to wash up?" "From last night to now, the Su family has changed five batches of horses, and they have only drunk a few sips of water on the way.

"There's no hurry." Li Shang hugged his girl from Feng Xiao's arms. Feng Xiao hurriedly walked back to the inn and gave an order, and by the way, he went upstairs and took the silver down and handed it to the three cicada Taoists.

Carefully took the silver, and after ordering it twice, the fatigue of the whole body was gone: "This trip is really dangerous, but it's worth it." He turned around and greeted the two younger brothers and his son, "Let's not run away, let's have a good meal at the inn." ”

After crying, Su Yuzhi helped her mother to the door of the inn. Without waiting for the introduction, Xin Shansi bowed deeply: "Mrs. Su, I'm sorry." ”

Does Ma Yuehe hate? Hate, but people have to be reasonable. The Su family survived the catastrophe safely this time, and it was indeed thanks to this one. Wiping her tears, she pulled her son over, took a deep breath, and said very solemnly: "This is the end of our enmity. Mrs. Yan, I also thank you for not standing idly by when the big girl was in danger. ”

"How can I stand by and watch her?" Xin Shansi stood up, tears flashing in her eyes: "I'm not afraid that you will say that I am hypocritical, I don't want to repay this life debt in this way." ”

Su Yucheng said in a hoarse voice: "My eldest sister will definitely have a good life in the future." ”

"Yes." Su Yuzhi and her mother responded in unison.

Looking up at the sky, Gu Chen said, "Let's go into the inn to wash up, and the lobby will meet in two moments." ”

"Okay." Ma Yuehe's eyes flashed: "Today, I must give the Lin family an explanation to my Su family, otherwise the Lin family's Dark Literature Pavilion will not be opened again." ”

As soon as Gu Chen arrived, Emei of Fengshan Inn, Wudang and Fang Kuo resting on Xirong Street, and Fang Shengli, who only entered Xishu City yesterday, all went to Xiaochun Alley on Shilin Street.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Lin Yao's heart finally had a little relaxation after a day's anxiety, but before this relaxation had spread to the whole body, the porter came to report that Fengyu Zhenren from Wudang and Fang Kuo from Xuehua Temple had arrived, and they immediately panicked. He didn't want them to come at this time, not at all.
