Senior sister, are you really not going to live in Muping with me for a while? If I leave this time, I will have to wait a year or two to see you again. ”

On the look, Chen Xikang, who was about to leave, reluctantly looked at the senior sister in front of him and said. The world is so big, there are many places he has to go, and the road is destined to be difficult.

Affectionate parting since ancient times. Looking at the prince in the distance, riding on the back of a mule, Lao Jin, who was holding the tall treasure horse, just waited quietly.

"Xikang, go with peace of mind, Senior Sister will be waiting for you to come back at the Favored Green Temple. However, the journey is bound to be arduous and unbearable, and you are used to living a life of fine clothes and food in the house, and you must learn to endure it after you go out. ”

Xuan Xuanqing's tone was gentle, his eyes were doting, and his expression was also very peaceful, although he could see that he couldn't bear Chen Xikang's future itinerary in his heart, but in order to make the parting less sad, he still endured the worries in his heart.

"Senior sister, hug me. ”

Knowing his senior sister's character, Chen Xikang spoke lightly. Leaving this time, he actually doesn't have so many people who are difficult to let go, only his sister and senior sister.

"You, you will never grow up, and you will still be the same as when you were a child. ”

glanced at Chen Xikang, Xuan Xuanqing still gently embraced the person in front of him who was much taller than him. "Xikang, in the future, you have to learn to grow up, after all, this world is too cruel. ”

Xuan Xuanqing said softly, but Chen Xikang didn't speak, just quietly enjoying the familiar feeling, whether it was the faint fragrance from the hair or the familiar warmth.

didn't stay too long, and after leaving the gentleness, Chen Xikang turned back heartily, looking free and easy, as if he had made a decision in his heart.

"Senior sister, this is the last time I'll be spoiled by you. In the future, I, Chen Xikang, will have a share of this world!" On the back of the horse that gradually moved away, Chen Xikang turned his back to the few people in the same place and said in a heroic tone.

"Senior sister, what kind of person is this Chen Xikang? Why do I always feel that he is a little different from before, but I can't say what is different. ”

Looking at the tall figure on horseback, Changyan Yaoyue muttered, she could feel that Chen Xikang had changed, really changed.

"Yaoyue, you, second senior brother, will make you proud in the future. ”

Hearing Senior Sister's vague words, Changyan Yaoyue didn't speak again, just frowned slightly and looked at the person in front of her who could only be vaguely seen through the leaves.

Chen Xikang said that he would go to the world in the future, but his life was richer and more luxurious than his own, could he really endure the hardships of eating and sleeping in the open, wind, frost, rain and snow?

It was not only Xuan Xuanqing and Changyan Yaoyue who looked at the people who left, but also the senior brother Huashi with single eyelids and small eyes also had a faint smile on his face, but it was good that he didn't smile, and with such a smile, there was only a gap left in his already small eyes.

If a stranger sees the senior brother smiling like this, a chill will definitely rise in his heart.

Danger is definitely the first feeling that rises in people's hearts after seeing the smile of the senior brother.

Knowing that Chen Xikang was leaving, the sound of knocking on the wooden fish in the view also quieted down, and the Qingguang saint with white eyebrows and long beard just looked at the Taoist Sanqing Venerable God in front of him with dull eyes, and in his mind, he saw Chen Xikang for the first time.

At that time, the Qingguang Sage was already more than 120 years old, with a fairy wind and a detached temperament, and Chen Xikang was still young at that time, and his smart eyes seemed to contain the sun, moon and stars.

"Boy, I've been acting to cover myself for so many years, and I've suffered you. In the future, the sky is high and the birds will fly, the sea will be wide and the fish will leap, go back to your true self, and make fun of it. ”

As Chen Xikang's martial arts master, the Qingguang Sage knew the plans of the founding prince, and also knew that what Chen Xikang had done over the years was to cover up the eyes and ears of the world.

In the past ten years, Chen Xikang has never lived his true appearance in front of the world, or he has no idea what his true self is like.

After all, I have been acting for almost many years, and it is inevitable that I will not get too deep into the play.

The road was bumpy, because the cultivation of Xiao Yipin had been restored, Chen Xikang and Lao Jin were not too late to Muping, and as soon as they arrived at home, Chen Xikang was called by the founding father.

On Muping Chen's mansion, Chen Xikang looked at the old sword saint in front of him, and the old sword saint also looked at the controversial young man in front of him, next to the two, Hongdou hesitated and said his thoughts.

"Yu Lao, as far as you can see, how about red beans?"

After Hongdou finished speaking, Chen Xikang didn't say anything to him, but asked the old sword saint in front of him, which made Hongdou who was trembling in his heart a little unresponsive, I don't know why the prince suddenly asked like this.

"Little prince, red beans are comparable to things that fall from the sky, and it is difficult to find them. ”

"Swordsman, Riya. Woman, soft also. The sword of both hands, the extreme gravity and domineering, the body of the daughter of the red bean, can you learn?"

"There is no one way to go in the way of the sword, and the two-handed sword does not have to be overbearing. If the girl learns the sword, give it its meaning, do not give it the shape, with the posture of the girl, after self-practice, give the sword the shape, and then combine the meaning of the two-handed sword sword, but the blue is better than the blue. ”

"According to the Sword Saint, red beans are treasures. ”

"The little prince is modest, the girl is a treasure, and it is appropriate to add a precious word in front. ”

"Such a treasure, there is no reason to give it away, but the Sword Saint has been famous for a long time, and he will be admired by future generations, but he doesn't know it...... How sure is the Sword Saint in his heart that this treasure will be carved into a unique thing in the world?"

"It's too frivolous to say that ten percent is arrogant. Eighty percent is too low, and the little prince is afraid that he will not agree to the girl and me to learn the sword. More than ninety and half, in three years, I will let the prince see a new female sword master. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xikang did not continue to speak, but turned his head to look at the red beans beside him. He said that the red bean was picked up by him, and it was his belonging, and since the red bean wanted to learn the sword, he had to learn it from the best people.

The two-handed sword master has a holy word and has this qualification.

"All the people in the world can't escape a vulgar word, only the one who is unique and stunning to the ancients can be crowned with a holy word. Red Bean, let's go learn swords from the old sword saint. However, except for the time when you practiced swords, if the old sword saint asked you to suffer a little, he wrote back to his house. ”

"Please don't care about these words, after all, Hongdou is my person, although he lives as a maid in the mansion, he has never been wronged by others' cold eyes. I'm still reluctant to beat and scold, let alone others!"

Hearing what the prince said to himself, the red bean, who was still nodding vigorously, heard what the prince said next, and after hearing the prince say that he was the prince's person, a rare flush appeared on the slightly drooping face.

"Hahaha, the little prince laughed, how can there be a reason for being a master to make his apprentice suffer. Although the life without a fixed place is certainly not as good as the rich days in the house, I will definitely promise that I will not let the girl suffer from cold and starvation. As for the cold words, people in the world don't know that I am in Chenghui, and they have to respect the two swords in my hands, right?"

Seeing that this little prince, who was completely different from the rumors in the world, agreed, the old sword saint felt relaxed in his heart, and his tone of voice became brisk.

After the matter was negotiated, Chen Xikang got up and left, and he traveled home for a long time, sweat stains all over his body, sticky and uncomfortable.

And knowing that the prince was going to change clothes and say goodbye to the old sword saint who was about to become his master, Hongdou trotted all the way and followed the prince who had already arrived at the door.

"Red Bean, hasn't Huang Huai come back yet?"

After some washing, in front of the high vertical realm, Chen Xikang, who stretched his hands out and let the red beans fold his clothes smoothly, spoke lightly.

During the Chaoyuan meeting, Huang Huai killed Haneda Falcon and fled back to the west in advance, although he also suffered some minor injuries, but when he returned to the west, he had almost healed, and knew that he was about to go to the Qingguan to sort out the meridians, reshape the muscles and bones, and restore the cultivation, Huang Huai, who received the news of the Yang Ji Sword, went to Lintong from Muping.

Ever since Chen Xikang asked Huang Huai to find Yang Ji Jian, Huang Huai has not stopped, even during the period when Chen Xikang abandoned his cultivation.

Huang Huai, who knows each other very well, knows that even if his cultivation is temporarily abandoned, the prince will definitely practice martial arts and sword again, so he has been chasing the whereabouts of Yang Ji's sword.

"After the prince left, Huang Huai never appeared again, and I don't know if he returned. ”

"Lord, I ......"

Hearing Hongdou's words, Chen Xikang, who knew that the Haneda family was frantically looking for Huang Huai, had some worries rising in his heart, and Hongdou's voice appeared behind him.

"What's wrong?" Looking back at the red beans that didn't dare to look at him, and lowered his head slightly, Chen Xikang frowned and spoke.

"Lord Wang, I don't really want to learn swords with Old Sword Saint Yu anymore. ”

Knowing that the prince was looking at himself and waiting for his reply, Hongdou spoke weakly, and because he was afraid of being reprimanded by the prince, he said very unconfidently, and he was almost unable to hear the sound when he reached the back.

Although he had been struggling in his heart for a long time before, and he had just made a decision, after such a group of Chen Xikang was washed, Hongdou didn't want to leave.

Others have families, and there are many people who care about them, but she only cares about the prince, and she just wants to be by the prince's side.

"Red Bean, repeat what you just said. ”

He smoothed his collar, and Chen Xikang said lightly, although he had already heard what Hongdou said just now.

Biting his lip, he glanced up at the prince slightly, and after seeing that the expression on the prince's face was a little scary, Hongdou quickly lowered his head again, not daring to look at the prince beside him.

Under the silence, Azuki's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and when he was about to grit his teeth and say his decision again, a faint warmth came from the fingers holding his chin.

"Hongdou, you are very smart, you should know that many people will die around me in the future, and I can't protect you all, so you have to protect yourself, and now you, unarmed, can only let people eat when you meet someone with a heart, understand?"

After lifting the drooping face of the red bean, Chen Xikang said with a gentle smile when the person in front of him who had been with him for five years looked at him.

In the troubled times, people will die, he will fight with Song Heng and Xia Chunqiu, more people will die in the world, and the people around him will be difficult to avoid, so Hongdou must go to practice sword with the old sword saint.

Looking at the warm smile that appeared on the handsome and delicate face in front of him, Hongdou's heart gradually calmed down, and when his clenched fist was released, he just nodded obediently and decisively.

Three days later, in front of the gate of the Chen Mansion.

"Go ahead, forget about the usual words, I don't bother to listen to your nagging, but remember to write a letter back during the New Year's holidays. ”

The old sword saint was waiting in the rear, and Chen Xikang was "driving" the reluctant person in front of him.

looked at Chen's mansion, and then looked at the person in front of him, although he wanted to ask for a hug from the prince, Hongdou still didn't dare to say it.

Handing over the chain with Nian Bing in his hand to the prince, Hongdou stubbornly endured not letting the tears flow out, and turned to leave.

But......

"Lord Wang, can I ask for something from you?"

As soon as he took two steps, Hongdou suddenly turned around and came to Chen Xikang and said, his eyes were watery and his nose was a little red.

"Tell me, what do you want. Looking at the red beans in front of him, when Chen Xikang was helpless, a doting smile appeared on his face.

Hearing the words of the prince, although he had already made a decision in his heart, when he saw the smiling face of the prince, he knew that it was a bit too much to make such a request as a maid, and the words of the red bean were already on his lips and he couldn't open his mouth.

Hesitating, timid, Red Bean stretched out his fingers tremblingly.

Looking at the fingers in front of him, pointing to his lips, Chen Xikang, who was pulling Nian Bing, was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect the red beans to be so bold, and they dared to ask for themselves!

Although he was unexpected, Chen Xikang still became a red bean. However, what he didn't know was that what Hongdou wanted to ask for was the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck, but Hongdou himself was tall and didn't dare to raise his head because he was afraid, so he pointed to his lips with such a finger.

The warm touch appeared on his forehead, making the red beans who were still frightened by his request in his heart suddenly stunned, and his brain became blank in an instant!

Hongdou was frightened by the prince's sudden move, and the six gods were a little ownerless!

"Lord Wang...... What are you...... What are you doing?" It wasn't until the soft touch on his forehead left that Red Bean opened his mouth stupidly, but his face still looked like he had lost his soul.

"Didn't you point to my lips and say you wanted something from me?"

Hearing this, Hongdou's face, who knew that he had made a mistake, suddenly turned red, like the red glow on the horizon at sunset.

"I'm actually ...... It's a jade pendant that I want the prince to wear......"

After the red bean was finished, he was too shy to be able to help himself, so he didn't dare to stay anymore, and quickly turned around and ran away.

Hearing Hongdou's words, thinking of his self-inflicted amorous self just now, Chen Xikang's face also showed a touch of embarrassment.

This Nizi can't speak clearly.

"Red beans, then. ”

After muttering in his heart, looking at the red beans that went to the old sword saint's side in a blink of an eye, Chen Xikang said that he had already ripped off the ring dragon jade pendant around his neck and threw it out of the air.

Hongdou's face was still flushed when he heard the sound and turned around, but when he saw the jade pendant that fell towards him, he hurriedly reached out to catch it.

Feeling the jade pendant that still had the residual warmth of the prince in his hand, the red bean with a satisfied face turned around and never looked back.
