Dugujing got up and patted the dust on his body, the dust was flying, and Ayao on the side waved her hand again and again with a disgusted face.

"That's true, it was a joke between Uncle Sima and my father back then, which was rumored out of the rivers and lakes, although there was no paper marriage letter......

Although there is no paper marriage certificate, the parents of the two parents have agreed on this matter. Du Xi'er said.

Dugu nodded and stopped talking.

"So don't mention this kind of joke in the future. Du Xi'er came to Ah Yao's side.

"I see, it's me who messed up the mandarin duck spectrum, don't be angry. Ah Yao smiled and took Du Xi'er's hand, and then asked Dugu Jingdao: "I don't know which girl Dugu Gongzi is with?"

Dugujing rubbed the back of his head and sneered embarrassedly: "The young lady of the Sima family in Hangzhou, a single name is a pet word." ”

A-Yao chatted casually for a few more words, then asked Dugujing to go back to the room to rest, and Dugujing nodded and said yes and went back to the room. Ah Yao pulled Du Xi'er to sit outside the house, intentionally or unintentionally asking about the situation of returning to the valley, to be precise, asking Qin Guiyu about the situation in the past three years. However, there is nothing special about the answer I get, Qin Guiyu has been the same for more than ten years, and his life has not changed.

The post station that arrived on this day, until the second day, everything was peaceful in the post station, and there was no change, and it was supposed to set off on this day, but Liu Laoliu and the coachman, the two people who knew the way, seemed to be unbearable, and begged to go a day later.

Chi Ze changed, how could the three of them agree, and directly pulled the two into the carriage.

The thirteen sons of the ghost gate seem to have really given up completely, and they haven't chased after them for several days.

Another five days later, Shezhou is in sight.

Liu Laoliu and the coachman rushed over excitedly, and finally wanted to ask the poisonous hand of the Miao Jiang woman, but they were splashed with a basin of cold water and stood still without taking a few steps.

"I'm afraid we can't go in right now. Yao said.

Dugu Jing also suddenly figured it out: "That's right, it's been too smooth here for a few days, it's okay if the thirteen sons of the ghost gate are scared away, if not...... That would definitely be an ambush near Shezhou. ”

"Then what should we do?" Liu Lao Liu was about to cry. The coachman also begged: "Please, this master, two aunts and grandmothers, can you let go of the small one, that group of people is not looking for ghosts, and it is not us, please let a few of the small ones go!"

Dugu Jing frowned and said, "It's okay to let you go, but you helped me and others to escape, if they caught the two of you, what did you think about the end?"

Liang Ran was speechless at the moment, thinking carefully that following the three of them was actually the safest way to save his life, so he closed his mouth and didn't mention it again.

"Then what should we do now?" Dugujing asked Ah Yao.

Ah Yao sighed, he was the eldest of the three, but he stayed in Kunming most of the time, and when he followed Qin Guiyu, he was equivalent to seclusion in Kunming after he lived in seclusion, and he hadn't left for a long time.

"This Shezhou is the only way to go, we still have to go this way, but they are afraid of Gu Shiding, and they don't dare to really do it for a while, let's be careful." After thinking about it for a moment, A-Yao could only say this.

Coming down from the top of the mountain, Liu Laoliu seemed to have accepted his fate, and began to introduce Shezhou to several people: "In fact, we have now reached the boundary of Shezhou, the mountain does not look far, and it is indeed not far to walk, and we will arrive after this mountain." The terroir here is different from that over there, so don't be surprised......"

"Don't worry, we won't stay in Shezhou for long, and we'll let you go when we get to the city. But you must be careful after you leave, don't get caught by those people again, and it's better not to go back to the city. Dugujing knew what he was thinking, so he comforted.

Hearing Dugujing say that he had to wait to enter the city, although he was apprehensive, the two of them still thanked him repeatedly.

After arriving outside the city, it was already another hour or two, and along the way, Dugujing found that this place was not as unfamiliar as Liu Laoliu said, and the accents of the people around him were different, making people feel like they were away from home.

After crossing a river, walk a few steps to the city gate, according to Liu Laoliu's guidance, a few people walked not the west side of Renhelou but the southwest gate, outside the city gate Dugujing heard Liu Laoliu whisper introduction: "Enter the city gate on the left hand side is the government ......" felt funny, but did not dare to relax their vigilance.

In addition to a few people, several people were also preparing to enter the city, and a few people cautiously looked at the team and slowly followed behind.

"Childe, please stay!" Du Xi'er suddenly rushed towards the person in front of the team.

"Be careful......" Dugujing and Ayao lowered their voices and read a sentence, but they didn't know if Du Xi'er heard it or still ran forward, the two immediately followed, and Liu Laoliu and the coachman behind them also hurriedly chased after them and didn't dare to take a step.

I saw a man dressed in a fancy costume in front of him about to enter the city, and when he heard the voice, he looked back and saw that he was just a young man with upright facial features and a folding fan, and his age was similar to that of Dugujing.

"Childe. Du Xi'er came to him and stopped her voice eagerly, "Childe, do you remember me?"

"Can't you go?" a grumbling voice came from behind him.

The young man hurriedly apologized: "Let's go, I'm sorry, forgive me." Ignoring Du Xi'er, he went directly into the city.

"Eh......" Du Xi'er wanted to chase but was stopped by A-Yao, A-Yao reproached: "You are too impulsive." ”

"But...... But he's Xiaoqiu!" Du Xi'er pulled his hand back and chased after him again.

A-Yao was stunned, and she didn't know who Du Xi'er was talking about, and Dugujing didn't know, so she could only follow into the city, and the people behind her accused him repeatedly, and Dugujing turned around and apologized while chasing. Liu Laoliu and the coachman also wanted to follow, but they were pulled by a hand, and it took a long time to come in, and they almost lost it.

"Childe, please stay!" Du Xi'er finally caught up with the young man, his eyes full of anticipation, "Childe, do you remember me?"

It turned out that Du Xi'er recognized him at a glance when he saw him outside the city, this young man was exactly the same as the young man who showed him the way in the forest back then, but he didn't dare to confirm it in his heart, because this young man didn't seem to have changed in the past three years, his age has not grown, and even his clothes are the same as back then.

The young man held a fan in one hand, slowly tapped the other hand, and looked at Du Xi'er before he said slowly, "Should I recognize the girl?"

"This ...... I don't know if the son still remembers the father and daughter who begged for help in the woods outside Tongping Town three years ago?" Du Xi'er's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at him pleadingly.

Dugujing saw her look like this for the first time, and looked at the young man with a little anger.

When the young man saw her look like this, he couldn't bear it, so he sighed and said, "I remember." "It turned out that he was really the boy back then.

Du Xi'er burst into tears after hearing this "remember", and fell to her knees with a plop: "Thank you for saving your life back then." ”

"Eh, this can't be helped, you get up quickly, you get up quickly......" Xiaoqiu was in a hurry, and she couldn't help or not, so she could only look at A-Yao as if she was asking for help.

Ah Yao helped Du Xi'er up, and Xiaoqiu returned to her previous calm appearance, and said softly: "Don't mention the things back then, girl, I didn't save you back then, so I hurt you...... Ling Zun had an accident, and the girl couldn't afford such a big gift. ”

"Thanks to Childe's guidance back then, I met Master and rescued me, and I will remember Childe's kindness. Du Xi'er said.

"This ...... I didn't blame your father, don't you blame me?" Xiao Qiuqi said, as if the other party should blame him.

"Don't hide it from my son, I also blamed it in my heart three years ago. Du Xi'er lowered her head and said slowly, Xiaoqiu nodded with an expression of "this is right", but listened to Du Xi'er continue: "But Master told me that why should I blame a wise person for the evil things that the wicked do? Later, I understood that Childe's kindness to me is the grace of the way, but Childe has no evil to me, and my blame for Childe is not justified. ”

"Lord Qingu, he is a good master, and he has also accepted a good apprentice. Xiaoqiu said angrily, "Let's go, do you want to eat together, I just came down from Huangshan, and my stomach is already hungry." ”

Xiaoqiu also ignored Ah Yao and Dugujing, and walked forward first. Ah Yao and Dugu Jing looked vigilant, this Yellow Mountain is dozens of miles away from here, there are many mountains around, the horses are not easy to walk, and it may not be possible to get there in a day, how can he just come from the Yellow Mountain with a leisurely appearance?

However, Du Xi'er didn't care, and followed directly behind Xiaoqiu.

Passing by a pharmacy, Ah Yao went in for a while, and when she came out, she threw Liu Laoliu and the coachman a black pill: "This is the elixir of detoxification, remember to take it with well water on the night of the fifteenth full moon in a few days to have an effect, remember it, just hurry up." ”

Liu Lao Liu and the coachman thanked them a lot, so they almost knelt down and kowtowed, and then left.

"Senior A-Yao, this elixir ......" Dugujing couldn't help but wonder what the antidote pill she gave was.

"Ash at the bottom of the pot. Ah Yao gloated and looked at the two figures who ran away, and laughed.

Entering the restaurant, Xiaoqiu took out two taels of silver and threw it over: "Arrange a quiet seat, go to the table for a first-class banquet, and don't drink." ”

Xiaoerjie took a look and hurriedly entertained her, not daring to slack off.

Xiao'er took the four of them to sit down in a window position on the second floor: "A few guest officers wait for a while, and they will come immediately." Xiaoqiu nodded and waved his hand to let him go quickly, Xiao'er didn't dare to disturb more, poured tea for a few people and left immediately.

Several people didn't speak for a while, and Ah Yao spoke first: "This son's name is very good, I don't know where the teacher is?" This question is not only Dugujing wants to know, but Du Xi'er also wants to know.

Xiaoqiu took a sip of tea, her tongue was burned, and she quickly put it down, her face was a little red for a while: "My teacher...... The tutor didn't let him say. ”

"I see, I guess he is a master outside the world, and he doesn't enter the martial arts?"

"Sort of. Xiaoqiu didn't seem to want to mention herself, and replied casually, but her eyes looked at the street outside the building, and she seemed to be extremely interested in the market.

"Childe seems to be very interested in market life?"

"It's just a little curious, after all, life is different in different places, so I'll take a look when I pass by. ”

"I wonder how the place where Childe lives is different from this place?"

Ah Yao's question was extremely explicit, and sure enough, Xiaoqiu retracted her gaze and looked at her: "Miao Jiang Ah Yao, your surname is 'Laode', in the official dialect of the Central Plains, it is bamboo, so your Han surname is the bamboo surname, your name is Zhu Yao, am I right?"

Ah Yao almost jumped up, and one hand directly touched Gu Shiding, this move has proved from the side that what the other party said is true. Dugujing was stunned, and subconsciously touched the Xuanwu double dagger in his arms.

"A-Yao senior, don't, Gongzi is my life-saving benefactor, please don't hurt the harmony. Du Xi'er hurriedly stopped Ah Yao and didn't let her take out Gu Shiding.

"Childe better explain. Ah Yao's face was not good.

"I have traveled all over the world, and I have also been to the place where the Miao people gather, and your name has spread all over the Miao River in the past two years, and it is not difficult to know. Xiaoqiu's expression was calm, "Your Gu poison will hurt the people by mistake, hurry up and sit down." ”

"How does that boy know that that person is me?"

"What the thirteen sons of the ghost gate said. A-Yao didn't sit down, but Xiaoqiu didn't seem to care at all, and turned her head to look out the window again.

This time, even Du Xi'er began to waver, she bit her soft lips, and said softly: "Childe and the thirteenth son of the ghost sect still have something to do with it......

"Yes, but there is a vendetta, I killed one of them by mistake in the woods three years ago. Xiaoqiu rubbed her temples helplessly, with an extreme headache, "It's really troublesome to say that you don't get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes." Sit down, and I'll make things clear, and you'll understand. ”

Dugujing looked at A-Yao, A-Yao looked at Du Xi'er, Du Xi'er looked at Xiaoqiu, and Xiaoqiu hurriedly waved her hand: "Sit down, sit down, and speak slowly." Only then did A-Yao sit down again.

"Where do you start...... Three years ago, I meant to care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes in the woods, but there was a guy, thin and tall, with a very sharp and piercing voice, and his two hands were very long, about this long. Xiaoqiu raised her slender and slender fingers and gestured.

Du Xi'er remembers the events of the year very clearly, he would be awakened by nightmares earlier, and then these fears all turned into hatred, he was not afraid, and even recalled what he encountered that day, over and over again, and did not dare to forget it at all.

...... "The wife and children can be taken care of together, the wives and daughters of Du Zhongnian are all fine-skinned and tender, remember to stay and let your grandfather and I take good care of them." ”......

Du Xi'er remembered that the man's voice was sharp, piercing the door of the head.

Xiao Qiu continued: "That guy is a skinny ghost, but he is quite bold. I told them to wait, just wait a little longer and I'll let them go! I couldn't get angry, so I kicked it away, but I didn't expect him to kick it, and then he died, so I ran away. ”

Dugujing and A-Yao were both shocked, they had met four people from the Thirteen Sons of the Ghost Gate before, and none of them dared to do anything, and this young man kicked him to death so lightly?

"After that, it's nothing, the thirteen sons of the ghost gate don't dare to walk around the rivers and lakes openly, and I don't have to worry. I continued to tour the mountains and rivers, and played around the Yellow Mountain, because I came over to eat something when I was hungry. Before entering the city, I wanted to see the customs here, so I wandered outside the city, but I didn't expect to meet them again, there were seven people in total, really ugly, like ghosts. ”

Xiaoqiu's face was full of disgust.

"When they saw me, they wanted to kill me and avenge their brother, and I wondered why they were here, so I grabbed the scholar in their lead and asked about the situation, and then I knew. It's just that I didn't expect to be able to meet you when I entered the city, I didn't want to admit it, but you, the little girl, chased after you. ”

Xiao Qiu said extremely simply, but the three of them understood the superb level of martial arts of this young man revealed in it, and they couldn't help but be a little impressed and a little unconvinced.

"Did Childe kill those people?" asked Du Xi'er.

"No, I don't participate in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, everything goes naturally, the so-called Taoism is natural...... It was an accident three years ago, and I explained it to them, but they didn't listen, and I couldn't do anything about it. Xiaoqiu said aggrievedly.

Ah Yao remembered that he said that he was playing in Huangshan, so he asked: "Childe is not playing in Huangshan, I don't know how much time Childe spent here from Huangshan Road?"

Xiaoqiu calculated: "About an hour." ”

"An hour. Ah Yao looked at Du Xi'er and asked, "I wonder if according to the current skills of the Qin Valley Lord, can he arrive in one hour?"

"I'm afraid it's a little reluctant. Du Xi'er said.

"Hehe, I can't do anything else, it's just that this light skill is more powerful. Xiaoqiu said happily.

Three years ago, he kicked to death a person from the Thirteen Sons of the Ghost Gate, and three years later, under the siege of seven people, he could still capture one person alive and ask for information, is this still called it? Dugu Jing muttered in his stomach.

Xiao'er finally began to serve the food, and the four of them stopped discussing the matter for a while, Xiaoqiu picked up the chopsticks and said vaguely while feasting: "You also eat, don't be polite." Son, don't go, I don't drink, I don't pay for this wine!"

"Yo, guest officer, I'm sorry, I'll take it down for you. ”

"Hmm, hurry up......"

After the three of them understood chopsticks, Xiaoqiu suddenly stopped gobbling up like that, but began to chew slowly, and gestures were also polite. Only then did the three of them realize that he looked rude just now, but in fact, he tasted all the dishes and secretly proved his innocence.

The dishes are all on the table, and the meals are over three rounds.

Du Xi'er seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked, "What is the name of Childe's light skill?"

"No name. ”

Dugujing remembered that he didn't have a name for the light skills he had learned, and the name "The End of the World" was later given to him by the master of the Qin Valley.

"Then I don't know what the relationship between Childe and Tianya Erke is?"

When it came to Tianya Erke, A-Yao also understood what Du Xi'er meant, and couldn't help staring at Xiaoqiu. saw Xiaoqiu's eyes dodging, and finally couldn't dodge before saying, "No...... It doesn't matter, it's not familiar. ”

"It doesn't matter, since Childe doesn't want to talk about his teacher, let's not ask again. A-Yao had already gotten the answer, so she pretended to say, Du Xi'er naturally understood, nodded and didn't ask again.

"Hiccup-" After the meal, Xiaoqiu burped very unqualifiedly, and then blushed again.

The three of them all found this Xiaoqiu very interesting.

Outside the restaurant, Xiaoqiu arched his hand and said: "Three, I'm an idler, and I don't have anything to do all day long, so don't pass it, there will be a period later." ”

"Childe!" Du Xi'er stepped forward and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xiaoqiu: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but there are some things that you can't say, you can't say it, and if you can't take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, you can't manage it." Meeting back then was fate, although the rivers and lakes are big, but you and I must have a time to see each other again. ”

Du Xi'er nodded and didn't ask any more. Xiaoqiu looked at Ah Yao and Dugujing, and then stayed on Dugujing for a moment, Dugujing was a little uncomfortable by him, and his gaze didn't look like a peer at all, so he didn't dare to look at each other.

"Dugu Gongzi, I have traveled to the rivers and lakes for so long, and I have learned some things, although I can't say it directly, but I can give you a reminder. ”

Dugujing hugged his fists and said: "Son, please speak, listen to me." ”

"In the future, you will have a great calamity, and you will be the one who will destroy it, and you will be the one who will solve it. ”

"I don't understand. ”

"If you say it again, it's leaked, you just have to remember ......" Xiaoqiu looked at A-Yao, but her eyes didn't stop, and she looked at Du Xi'er again, and then her eyes stopped, "Only by sharing hardships can we see the truth." ”

"Keep in mind below, is this just a calculation by Childe?"

"Ah, am I like a fortune teller? This is some of the information I have learned from the rivers and lakes, which is related to you, so I remind you...... Oh, I can't say it, I can't say it, I say goodbye!" Xiaoqiu performed light skills, and he was already far away in an instant, and his figure was really exactly the same as "The End of the World".

"Don't admit it yet......" Ah Yao also recognized his light skills and muttered.

Dugujing is still thinking about what Xiaoqiu said, only by sharing hardships can we see the truth, is this what Miss Qin is talking about? This is not necessarily, since it is related to me, it may also be about grandpa, maybe he wants to remind me not to forget the feelings of sharing hardships and hardships with Ah Yao's predecessors and Miss Qin.

Since you have arrived in Shezhou, it is much more convenient to travel behind, as long as you follow the pipeline, you can directly reach Hangzhou. It's just that not far ahead, it is in the territory of Wu Yue, I don't know what the relationship between the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue is, and whether it can cross the border safely. However, there was no obstacle for the three of them to enter the Southern Tang Dynasty from Lizhou City, so there should be no problem when they think about it this way.

It was still early, and the three of them decided not to delay in Shezhou, and prepared to go to Hangzhou as soon as possible, so that they could find a place to stay at night.

Once again, they found three fast horses, brought dry food and water, and the three of them left the city. Non-stop along the way until sunset.

The sunset in the mountains always seems to be early, and the mountains in the distance are still bright yellow at dusk, but the cols are almost dark.

The three of them did not dare to stay longer, and at last they walked nearly ten miles away, and after rounding a hill, they saw the dim light of the village. In order not to bother the villagers, the three of them only ate some dry food brought by themselves, and after spending the night in the village, they thanked the villagers the next morning and hurried again.

After a few days, the three of them found that the further they went, the more streams seemed to be, and even more than a few miles to a river, and the road surface gradually flattened, and there were no longer so many hills.

The three of them knew that they were getting closer and closer to Hangzhou.
