Qin Ke was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Cai Xiang to say the Buddhist mantra on his scabbard so easily, and fell silent for a while-you know, these mantras were written in a strange script that he couldn't understand, if it weren't for Gao Changgong and Zhou Gongjin reading it to him several times, he wouldn't have known it.

From Cai Xiang's perspective, he could only see a small part of the words on his scabbard, and he couldn't help but subconsciously hide the sword behind him.

Cai Yan seemed indifferent, just spread her hands and said, "Okay." Brother, knowing that you are rich and rich, don't show off here, you have to show off, and when you meet the lord of the country, you will play with him. ”

"Nonsense again. Although Cai Xiang still had a smile on his face, there was a bit of yearning in his eyes, "Who is the lord of the country? Who am I? Can I show off my meager knowledge in front of him?"

But when Cai Yan interrupted him, he remembered what he was going to say: "Okay." Small...... Brother, are you going to follow me all the way home?"

Cai Yan knew that he was going to talk about it, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "If you don't go back, you have to go back yourself." ”

"Oh well. Cai Xiang nodded, "Then I'll go back by myself." ”

"You go back by yourself?" Cai Yan was stunned, her face showed a little joy, but she tried her best to press it and asked cautiously, "You won't take me back?"

"Laugh if you want, I'm not a father, so I'm too lazy to care about you. Cai Xiang said helplessly, "If you refuse to go back with me, what else can I do? Forcibly tie you back? When the time comes, you will speak ill of me in front of your sister-in-law every once in a while, and I won't be able to live this day? Dad did ask me to arrest you back, but I think this lamp will be so chaotic, it is reasonable to find you no one, as for ...... Mother, don't play too late, go back early and let her feel at ease. ”

"Okay!" Cai Yan suddenly cheered, regardless of the distance she had originally kept, she ran up at once, and hugged Cai Xiang's neck in a jump.

Cai Xiang was tall, and Cai Yan looked petite and delicate in front of him, so naturally the whole person hung on him.

"Brother, I knew you were the best. Cai Yan laughed, "When I get home, I'll bring you your favorite hazelnut cake!"

Cai Xiang's eyes were gentle, and he reached out to support Cai Yan's waist, lest he fall down, and did enough of his brother's calm and steady demeanor, but he still sighed helplessly: "Come on." You still have to think about how to deal with your father when you go home, he is in a situation where he won't sleep if you don't go home, and if you get beaten at that time, I won't listen to you cry. ”

Cai Yan got down from him and grinned: "Dad is reluctant to beat me, every time his face is fierce, the board falls on my palm but it doesn't hurt or itch, he just has a hard mouth." ”

Cai Xiang smiled and shook his head: "That's just for you, for us, he has never been soft-hearted, when I was a child, I just couldn't memorize a poem, and I couldn't get out of bed for three days, and your second brother, like you, was as playful as you, and ran to the fish tank while my husband was not there...... It was really ...... in the house that day Outsiders think we're killing pigs. ”

"Second brother was born with a high voice, or why did he join the army later?" Cai Yan laughed, looked left and right, trotted all the way to pick up the wine jar on the ground, handed it over, and said, "Na, since you don't want me to bring you hazelnut cake, then this jar of wine should be compensated." ”

Cai Xiang touched the mud seal curiously, lifted it, looked at the text on it, his eyes lit up, and said, "Thirty years of Jiuxianju's ageing?"

"That's right. Cai Yan nodded at him with her fingers, with an expression of "you really know the goods", "I know that you are the same as the lord of the country, you are good at wine, and this wine is just right for you." ”

Cai Xiang smiled and said: "I don't know you yet, in the end, it's better to bribe me with this jar of wine, or not, for the sake of the thirty-year-old wine of Jiuxianju, I will help you speak well tonight." Go ahead, just remember to go back early. ”

"Okay. Cai Yan nodded, stretched out her hand and grabbed Qin Ke, and walked out of the alley without looking back, "Let's go, let's go." There are still a few more days left for the lantern festival, and if you don't make up for tonight's excitement, you will have to wait another year. ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Cai. Qin Ke was trotted all the way by him, and could only nod at Cai Xiang, in fact, it was okay, he always felt that Cai Xiang saw something, maybe it was because of the Bodhisattva sword in his hand?

In this case, of course, the less I talk to him, the better.

Cai Yan said as she ran: "Brother, I'll laugh at your private money!"

Cai Xiang's complexion changed, and the original cultivation that was familiar with the famous family was broken in an instant.

"That's my ......" He wanted to say that it was the private money he had saved for half a year, but soon Qin Ke and Cai Yan walked out of the alley and disappeared around the corner.

Cai Xiang stood alone in the alley, as if thinking about something, his eyes were deep, and he held the wine jar without saying a word.

If others see it here, I'm afraid they will think that this son is a compassionate philosopher.

It's just the grief and indignation in his heart, but it's not because of the world, but just because the private money he worked hard to save is gone......

At this time, there was an extra person behind him who was wearing silk clothes and looked like an ordinary wealthy businessman, but if it was someone who was also a cultivator, he would definitely notice that this person's aura was long, even slightly better than Qin Ke, and the person bowed his head and said respectfully: "Big young master." ”

Cai Xiang didn't turn his head, just looked at the empty alley in front of him, and said lightly: "Follow the little sister and protect her." If the boy next to him did anything wrong, he would kill him. ”

"Yes. ”

The man was about to make a move, but Cai Xiang frowned, and suddenly said, "If he keeps his duty, you don't mess around." Even, if conditions permit, you can protect him by the way. ”

"Yes. The man replied softly.

Soon, the figure disappeared outside the bustling alley, and Cai Xiang said to himself at this time: "Bodhisattva......?

But soon he laughed at himself: "What do you think...... How could the Qingyu Sword appear in the hands of such a young man......? He has been missing for many years, and even if he was once known as a 'Martial God', he is probably dead, right?"

He raised his head and looked at the gray sky, even though the lights of the city could make the city look like daylight, but it was impossible to really light the sky again at this time.

Cai Xiang didn't think about that, just shook his head and sighed: "This Tang Kingdom's heaven...... Isn't this the case? The prosperous age of the Li family? Heh, the demon concubine caused chaos in the government and harmed Zhongliang...... The lord of the kingdom ...... He is a young man next year, and he is not a dull lord at all, but now, what is he thinking?"

He clenched his fists, perhaps...... There are some things that he will only understand if he actually does them.

There is one thing, they have been preparing for too long, and the hypocritical prosperity of Ding'an City has lasted for too long, and it is time to set things right.

"You have a good relationship with your brother. ”

"Of course. He doesn't hurt me, who does he hurt?"

Got rid of the tracking, Qin Ke is now relaxed, the two unconsciously walked around a dozen small streets, talked a lot, and tasted the tofu soup that Tang people love, when passing by the dim sum shop, Qin Ke tried Cai Xiang's favorite hazelnut cake, which was indeed crunchy and delicious.

After walking for an hour, Cai Yan was a little tired, and the pace of the two slowed down.

Cai Yan has a sugar gourd in her left hand, an almond cake mixed with honey in her right hand, her white teeth bite off one from the sugar gourd, and chew slowly in her mouth.

Cai Yan said with a smile: "Every year at the Lantern Festival, the people of the Tang Kingdom have to put lanterns here, and their wishes are also written on it, saying that the lanterns can cross thousands of mountains and rivers and float into the sea, and people's wishes are like lanterns, and when the lanterns reach the sea, people's wishes will come true." ”

Qin Ke nodded, and looked at the crowd of people who put lanterns in a slight daze, most of them were men and women in pairs, looking at their intimate appearance, even if Qin Ke thought about it with his toes, he could probably guess that their wish was naturally to be able to "look at each other" and "raise their eyebrows".

It's just that Qin Ke didn't think about this, but listened to Cai Yan's words, thinking about something about "wishes", and the things that had been hidden in his heart for a long time seemed to be hitting the seemingly strong door again.

It came out, with fear, clutching his heart little by little.

Even if he came to Tang Kingdom, in fact, he still has no confidence now, can he find the master?

As the prime minister of a country, Zhuge Wanling has not been able to do something for so many years, how can he be virtuous?
