Early in the morning of the second day, Qingli and his party of four packed their bags and rode away from Zhangye County and ran towards Emei.

At this time, on Mount Emei, Shi Hanshuang, who was already in the year of cardamom, was still practicing swords in the backyard of the main hall, and a set of Emei swordsmanship was superb. Dressed in Emei's signature plain clothes, the sleeves danced lightly in the wind with the sword in his hand, his fair face was slightly ruddy, and the beads of sweat on the tip of his nose dripped on his closed lips with the dance.

Mrs. Qinglian came to the courtyard and quietly watched Shi Hanshuang practice swords, and after a set of swordsmanship was practiced, Mrs. Qinglian said to Shi Hanshuang: "Hanshuang, come to the master, the master has something to say to you." ”

As soon as Shi Hanshuang saw that it was Mrs. Qinglian, she took her sword and ran over, bowed to Mrs. Qinglian and said, "What does the master have to explain today?" ”

Master Qinglian looked at Shi Hanshuang, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Hanshuang, since you were three years old, I brought you back to Emei, it has been more than ten years, I have never mentioned your family affairs to you, and you have never asked, today I will tell you about your family affairs, because this is related to another matter, you listen carefully." ”

Immediately, Qinglian Shitai said while walking forward: "You were originally from Xijing, after the gate, your father is the former Shangzhu general Shi Wansui, when you were three years old, your father angered Emperor Gaozuwen because of the false accusations of his colleagues in the court, that is, Emperor Yang Jian of Sui, was killed by Yang Jian, and your mother and brother were sentenced to exile, but now your mother and brother live in their hometown in Duling County, and you were brought back to Emei by me. ”

Hearing this, Shi Hanshuang subconsciously asked, "Master, how are my mother and brother doing now?"

Master Qinglian smiled and said: "They have a very good life in your hometown, so I have to mention one person, that is, the left servant of Shangshu at that time, Gao Xi, the person who asked me to bring you back to Emei, and the one who escorted your mother and brother back to their hometown in Duling County was also the escort of Gao Da. ”

Shi Hanshuang asked Mrs. Qinglian puzzled: "Master, why is this tall man so good to our family?"

Qinglian Shitai said with a smile: "Because your father set a family affair for you in the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, it was Gao Wencheng, the youngest son of a tall family, but after your family suffered a disaster, I took you back to Emei, and soon after, Lord Gao was also framed by traitors and executed by the current emperor, and the people of the Gao family were escorted back to the hometown of Lord Gao except for the husband you have never met, and your husband was taken to Zhangye County by several guards of Lord Gao, and he should be ten years old now." ”

Shi Hanshuang asked again: "Master, I haven't seen the person you told me about." ”

Master Qinglian laughed when she heard this: "It's almost there, one of the guards of this tall man is your senior sister Qingli, this morning I received a message from your senior sister through our sect's unique way of transmitting a message, saying that she and the other two guards are coming to Emei with Gao Wencheng, and it is estimated that there will be ten days left." ”

Shi Hanshuang's face suddenly turned red when she heard this, and she shook her head with the posture of a little daughter and said, "No, no, nobody, I don't see anyone, I just want to accompany the master for the rest of my life." ”

Seeing this scene, Master Qinglian took Shi Hanshuang into her arms and said with a smile: "Silly child, how can there be a saying that you have been with the master, and if you have been with the master, won't you become an old girl." ”

Then Mrs. Qinglian took out half of the jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Shi Hanshuang and said: "This is the token of your marriage back then, I didn't give it to you before, I was afraid that you would lose it, and I was afraid that it would be unfavorable to you if I was seen by someone with a heart, so now I will return the jade pendant to you for the teacher, I hope you will keep it well." ”

Shi Hanshuang took the jade pendant and hung it around his neck, and after hiding it closely, he said to Mrs. Qinglian: "Master, I haven't seen Senior Sister Qingli since I was a child, tell me about her." ”

When Mrs. Qinglian heard Qingli's name, she took Shi Hanshuang's hand and said, "Okay, let's go back to the house, and the master will tell you about your senior sister's experience." Then he led Shi Hanshuang to the side room.

Ten days of time is fleeting, this morning, Emei Mountain far away from the four horses, the first one is a horned young man, a black suit with two strangely shaped daggers inserted in the waist, crotch a Western Regions yellow horse. The first woman in the back was dressed in a plain dress peculiar to the Emei faction and held a blue sword in her hand, the second woman was dressed in a bright red outfit and held a coiled white soft whip, and the last woman was dressed in a purple power suit covered with a purple veil, revealing only her eyes painted with red smoky makeup.

The four of them led the horse step by step to the top of Emei Mountain, walked to the front of the mountain gate, and met two young Emei disciples, hugged their fists at the four of them and said: "I don't know if there are distinguished guests coming to Emei, there is a loss of welcome, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Qingli raised her eyes and saw that it was her junior sister Qingyan and Lime, and then shouted: "Qingyan, Lime, I'm Qingli, don't drag the bag, where is the old man?"

When Qingyan and Lime heard this, they hurriedly looked down, and when they saw that it was really Senior Sister, they hurriedly walked down and hugged Qingli and said, "Senior Sister, why didn't you come back without saying anything in advance, who are these three?"

Qingli immediately introduced the two: "This is my younger brother, and the two of them are my friends and comrades. Today we are here to visit the Master. ”

Immediately, Qingyan and Lime hugged their fists at the three of them and said, "The three distinguished guests please go up the mountain, and the master and the little junior sister are studying etiquette in the main hall, and I will wait for this to report." Then the two turned and ran quickly up the hill.

Qingli said to the three of Xuanji: "Let's go, go up the mountain, and let you visit our Emei faction." Then he led the three of them up the hill.

At the foot of the steps of the Emei hall, I saw that Mrs. Qinglian took a group of Emei disciples out of the hall to greet in person, and the four of them hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage when they saw this, and then Mrs. Qinglian smiled and led the four into the reception room of the hall.

I only heard Xuanji stand up and say to Mrs. Qinglian: "Mrs. Shi, I will visit Emei with Qingli this time, and I hope that Mrs. Qingli will not be surprised in a hurry." ”

Master Qinglian motioned for Xuanji to sit down, and then smiled and said, "It's okay, Qingli has already sent me a letter about your intentions, and I already know about it." But what I want to ask is, are you here to take that child away?"

At this time, Rakshasa said slowly: "I implore the master to step down, some of the words are confidential, and they are not enough for outsiders." Hearing this, Master Qinglian immediately waved his hand, "Let's all retreat, close the door of the main hall, and if there is an eavesdropper, abolish the martial arts and expel the master according to the door rules." When the Emei disciples present heard this, they immediately retreated, and closed the door of the main hall casually.

At this time, Qinglian Shitai motioned for Rakshasa to continue, and Rakshasa immediately spoke: "Shitai, we will not take that child away this time, after all, she is Shitai's disciple, and as for when she can be allowed to go down the mountain, Shitai has to decide." In addition, the main reason why I came here was to let the two children meet, and they are familiar with each other, I don't know what the teacher wants?"

Hearing this, Master Qinglian shouted outside the reception room: "Frost, come in to meet the guests." As soon as Mrs. Qinglian's voice fell, a girl who was a cardamom year flashed in, said 'master' to Mrs. Qinglian, and then made a blessing to the four people, and then stood beside Mrs. Qinglian and looked at the four people opposite without saying a word.

Immediately, Qingli stood up and said to Shi Hanshuang: "Little junior sister, I am your senior sister Qingli, and the young man next to me is Gao Wencheng, who has a marriage contract with you, just to hide people's eyes, his current name is Chu Mofeng, I want to know if you have half of this jade pendant on your body, if so, please take it out and show it to us." ”

Immediately Chu Mofeng took out half a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Qingli, Qingli showed the jade pendant in his hand to Shi Hanshuang, Shi Hanshuang saw this, took off the close-fitting jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Qingli, Qingli took the two jade pendants together, and a complete yin-yang fish jade pendant was formed, Qingli saw this and said to Qinglian Shitai: "Master, can you take the three of us to visit Emei? Let these two children have a good chat here." ”

Hearing this, Master Qinglian made a gesture of please, and then left the reception room with Qingli, Xuanji, and Rakshasa respectively. At this time, only Chu and Shi were left in the room, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward due to the first meeting. Chu Mofeng looked at Shi Hanshuang's face that was overwhelming, and muttered in his heart: Don't be cowardly, don't be afraid, I wasn't afraid when I beat the Turkic wolf cubs, and I can't be afraid at this time, this is the daughter-in-law who hasn't passed the door, or I'll speak first.

Immediately, Chu Mofeng took apart the jade pendant in his hand, handed her the half that belonged to Shi Hanshuang and said: "Miss Shi, please put away your jade pendant, my name is Gao Wencheng, oh no, my name is Chu Mofeng, I have lived in Zhangye since I was seven years old, if you have the opportunity to come to Zhangye to play, I will invite you to eat fish pockets, okay?"

Shi Hanshuang looked at the boy in front of him who was three years younger than her and said: "My name is Shi Hanshuang, I don't have the heart to play, my father's revenge has not been avenged, I can only practice swordsmanship to be able to kill the enemy, so if you also want to avenge your father, then put away the mind you want to play, as for our marriage contract, since it was arranged by my father, of course I will obey it, but before the revenge, I will not marry you." ”

As the conversation box between the two opened, the room suddenly chattered, and the four people who were eavesdropping outside the door couldn't help laughing, and then the four turned around and left, walking towards the martial arts arena.

On the way, Qingli asked Mrs. Qinglian and said, "Master, has Hanshuang gone to the sword mound to get his own sword?"

Master Qinglian shook her head and said, "Not yet, I was originally going to arrange for her to go, but aren't you going to come these days, so I put it on hold for the time being." ”

Xuanji and Rakshasa asked Qingli puzzled, "What is this sword shrine?"

Qingli glanced at Mrs. Qinglian, and after getting Mrs. Qinglian's approval, she said to the two: "The sword mound is a forbidden place in our Emei, Emei has been established since the first generation of ancestors, and there is no shortage of a large number of people from the rivers and lakes who come to challenge every year. ”

Then he raised his forehead and said: "Later, Emei's outstanding disciples were allowed to enter the sword shrine every year to choose their own swords, saying that they chose themselves, but in fact, the sword chose their own masters, and the process was very dangerous, I won't repeat it, my question was taken out in the sword shrine." ”

After listening to this, Rakshasa thought for a long time, and then said to Mrs. Qinglian: "Mrs. Shi, the little woman has an idea, I hope Mrs. Shi will think about it. ”

Qinglian Shitai motioned for Rakshasa to continue, only to hear Rakshasa say: "It's better to let Mofeng and Hanshuang go into the sword shrine together to help Hanshuang take the sword, just so that they can enhance their relationship with each other." ”

Master Qinglian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she said to Qingli: "I'll think about it for a night, and make a decision tomorrow morning, the four of you will rest in the wing room for one night tonight, and wait for me at the door of the main hall tomorrow." Then he turned and left......
