"In the white clouds, there is no Cuixia Palace. Langyuan Yaochi, go to Ziwei Qiong banquet. The capital of Jiangque is endless. Floating and disturbing, laughing at the bitter sea and being stubborn"

Lu Chuan thought that he had also read a few books, and if he wanted to talk about the ability to dance and play with Wenmo, he should not be under Xiucai, but when he saw the Heavenly Palace, he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, but he couldn't find a word that could be appropriately described. I don't know if it's because I read less, or if I'm short-sighted, or both.

With the sailor's whistle, a small boat was hoisted from the Heavenly Palace, Duan Hao nodded at Lu Chuan, and took the lead in getting on the boat on tiptoe, Lu Chuan followed, and when the two of them stood firmly, the small boat rose smoothly and steadily.

"Uncle, won't they come up?"

"They have to get the supplies on the ship first, and they don't have to worry about them. I'll go in in a minute, and you wait outside until your aunt sends someone to call you in. ”

"It's all up to my uncle. ”

Duan Hao went in after two sentences, he was also in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he opened the door wider, and the door of the hall was not completely closed, and Lu Chuan didn't know what to think, so he hooked the door with his foot as soon as he moved, leaving a slit, just enough to stick his ears on it.

Transporting the dust, the whole vigil, holding his breath and listening, only to hear Duan Hao in the hall shouting in a long voice: "Madam......"

Then a woman yelled, "Get out of here, come back from outside, don't touch me without changing your clothes." ”

"Go change now, change right away. I brought Lu Chuan back, right outside the door. ”

"Sirou, go and bring him in...... Wait, how do you feel?

"Oh, yes, good, like I was when I was younger. ”

"When you were young? Don't you see him, Sirou, go and drive him down. ”

"No, I finally brought it back, the child was seasick for the first time. See you. ”

"Nope. ”

"Uh...... Let me put it this way, only above Wan Chaoqing, not under Wan Chaoqing. ”

"Wan Chaoqing, I haven't seen it again. ”

"Xueyu told you, I also sent someone to draw a portrait, haven't you seen it......"

"The characters in the world are still in one family? Lu You, Lu Xiuyuan, Yao Qi, Yao Xian, and Lu Chuan...... Sirou, go and invite Mr. Lu in. ”

"Yes. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan didn't need to listen any further, he gently closed the door, straightened his clothes, and waited here in a proper manner.

Not long after, a young woman wearing an apricot-colored narrow-sleeved shirt and a bean-colored short-waisted skirt and a vegetarian long skirt pushed the door and poked her head out, smiled sweetly at Lu Chuan, and said, "Master Lu, our lady invites you in." ”

"I'm tired", Lu Chuan bowed slightly, turned his back to the woman and walked sideways from the road she gave up, until he walked to the middle of the hall near the bead curtain platform, and bowed down, "Little nephew Lu Chuan has seen my aunt." ”

Behind the bead curtain, a slightly cold and irresistible voice said: "Aunt sounds old, you still call me Xingnu or Mrs. Duan." ”

Lu Chuan said with a smile: "It's Chuan Tang abrupt, when I was on the mountain in the past, Chuan and Senior Sister Xueyu got along well and loved each other like sisters and brothers, so it's called so, since you don't like it, then Chuan will call you Aunt Duan." ”

"You're here for your two brothers, aren't you?"

"They don't know the depths, trespass into the Heavenly Palace, and shoot people with knives, you didn't kill them on the spot, it's already tolerant, from now on, whether they are slaves or maids in the Heavenly Palace, or cattle and horses, Chuan will no longer ask. This time, I just came to see you. ”

"Do you have what you say?"

"Since Chuan has arrived in Quanzhou, a stone's throw away from the Heavenly Palace, if you are lazy and don't come, I am afraid I will not be able to explain when I see my senior sister in the future. ”

"I mean, you really don't care about Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin?"

"No matter. ”

"I heard that you have suffered a lot in the past to save them, why did you come to me and don't care?"

"It's not that Chuan doesn't want to take care of it, but Chuan can't manage it. In the past, they were enemies with Liu Jin, it was Liu Jin who was wrong, but now they have offended the Heavenly Palace, it is they who are wrong, they are not right, they can't be ignored by others, Sichuan, they can't be controlled. ”

"And what if I'm going to kill them?"

"Same. ”

"They're dead, what about you?"

"Chuan still has a lot to do. ”

"You're ...... So unkind?"

“...... As soon as they die, everything is empty, and their parents, wives and children still have to be taken care of. ”

Mrs. Duan was silent for a moment, and said, "Siqi, put the curtain away, I feel a little bored." ”

I have to say that Mrs. Duan's cover-up is not very clever, how can a pearl curtain make people bored?

When Lu Chuan heard this, he quickly straightened his waist, but the line of sight of his eyes was lowered, and it was very rude to look directly at the elders, especially since this elder was still a woman, and she was one of the few great beauties in the rivers and lakes.

"You come closer. ”

Lu Chuan took a few steps forward, and stood up again when he was almost three feet away from Mrs. Duan.

Mrs. Duan looked at it for a moment and chuckled, "I thought you were a polite scholar like your father, but I didn't expect you to be more like your uncle...... However, since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes, and men don't need to be too good-looking, it's still good. You look up again. ”

Lu Chuan slowly raised his eyes, only to see the Sumeru seat on the jade platform, a red sandalwood carved wreath chair on the Sumeru seat, covered with a splendid pier cushion, on which sat a woman, wearing a pearl crown, wearing a scarlet large-sleeved shirt, with a xia veil on the clothes, a gold and jade pendant, draped on the chest, a phoenix-tailed jade skirt under it, twenty-four colored satins, each embroidered with flowers and birds, with a border inlaid with gold thread. In terms of magnificence, Lu Chuan has never seen anything worse in his life, but these are still secondary, because the brilliance of people is still above these dead things.

When beauty reaches a certain level, it will be perfect and impeccable, as is the case with Mrs. Tang Meixuan, and the same is true of the star girl Qi Ru, who is not inferior to her. However, in comparison, there are still their own merits, Mrs. Tang is graceful and luxurious, but that is compared with ordinary people, compared with Qi Ru, she is still gentle and charming, Qi Ru is the real grace and luxury, which has nothing to do with clothing, and has nothing to do with identity, pure temperament.

"Your eyes are special, like an iron sword. Straight and pure. ”

Lu Chuan looked away and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I also want to see your martial arts. ”

Lu Chuan bowed and said, "In front of Aunt Duan, Chuan didn't dare to be rude. ”

Mrs. Duan said with a smile: "Everyone is a martial artist, and it is not rude to compare martial arts. Moreover...... When you first meet, your aunt doesn't have any gifts for you, but if you can beat them, I'll give them to you. ”

Lu Chuan pursed his lips and said, "Then the little nephew won't dare to do it." ”

"Are you sure you'll be able to beat them both? Do you know that your two brothers are under their hands?"

"They are loose and lazy in martial arts, and defeat is a matter of course. ”

"I heard Xue Yu say that you are the most diligent among your peers in Wudang, you practice swords in Hantan, and you don't sleep at night?"

"The little nephew is stupid, and if he doesn't work hard, I'm afraid that he won't be able to achieve anything in the future. ”

"Such humility does not match the rumors in the rivers and lakes. ”

"The little nephew used to do a lot of things, and he was really arrogant. ”

"Then take out your arrogance and let your aunt see it, Siqi Sirou, and accompany Lu Gongzi through a few tricks. ”

The two women said yes, tied the corners of their skirts and cuffs with ropes, and after cleaning up, they stood still in front of Lu Chuan, holding their hands and waiting for Lu Chuan to make a move.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chuan knew that he might not be able to make a move today, so he handed the sword to his forehand, starting in a starting hand, pointing the tip of the sword diagonally downward, and said, "Two sisters, please." ”

The two women looked at each other, Siqi flew up directly, and used the mandarin duck legs to point the door of Luchuan, while Sirou pointed to the ground on tiptoe, flying over and attacking the key point of Luchuan with a desperate hand.

Looking at Lu Chuan again, one did not dodge or two dodge, the servant stepped and probed, pointed directly at the Lao Gong acupoint in the palm of Sirou's hand, and pointed the sword in his right hand directly at the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of Siqi's feet.

Siqi immediately changed his move, and the mandarin duck kicked the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword with his legs, and then bent his legs, and he was about to kneel on Lu Chuan's shoulder with his heart legs.

Sirou gently put her fingers on the back of Lu Chuan's hand, touched the ground again with her toes, turned her body, her head down and her feet up, and cut Lu Chuan's neck with both feet.

Lu Chuan used his right foot hard, stood up, and went to the right side, just to avoid the attack of the two women, the sword backhand slid past Siqi's back, suddenly turned around, and lightly imprinted a palm on Siqi's back, and withdrew more than three feet with the force.

Si Rou Siqi had never seen this kind of move, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and at the same time as he turned around, he pulled out the soft sword from his waist, shook it head-on, and suddenly straightened up, one left and one right, and attacked Lu Chuan again.

Lu Chuan raised his sword to greet him, after four or five moves, he was also taken aback, these two ways of swordsmanship are not trivial, it is said to be a two-way swordsmanship, in fact, it is a sword method of Kunlun authenticity, Si Qi is a positive two-yi swordsmanship, Si Rou is an anti-two-yi swordsmanship, one positive and one negative, just make up for each other, suddenly the power is greatly increased, a little careless, there may be a risk of life!

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan didn't dare to be careless, and used the most secure way among the seventy-two serial swords, "Thirty-six Peaks Picture, Zhang Sujin, Column Icicle", each sword is on the tip of the sword of the two, and it can be said that it is not a merit but a fault.

After about thirty moves, Lu Chuan's sword was empty, his feet were unstable, and he was suddenly planted face down, Siqi Sirou was overjoyed, and both of them took out their swords to Lu Chuan's back to point points.

But at this moment, Lu Chuan's sword was on the ground, his body turned suddenly, his back was facing downwards and upwards, his chest was tucked in his abdomen, and a sword was swung up diagonally, only to hear two soft sounds, and then he saw that Lu Chuan had stood firmly in front of them, holding the sword in both hands, bowing slightly and saying: "The two sisters are superb in martial arts, and they are not opponents below." ”

The two women didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw Lu Chuan admitting defeat, and remembered that Lu Chuan was forced to only parry and had no power to fight back, they believed it to be true, and happily went over to give Mrs. Duan a life, thinking that they could get two compliments, but they didn't expect that as soon as they finished speaking, Mrs. Duan's face sank, and scolded: "I really don't know shame, I don't know if I lose completely, are you still touching your head?"

The two women were so frightened that they knelt down at that time, and said with a crying voice: "Siqi (Sirou) is willing to receive punishment, but if there is something wrong, please make it clear to Mrs. ”

Lu Chuan just wanted to go up to persuade him, but he heard Mrs. Duan snort coldly and said, "You really think you won?"

Sirou didn't dare to speak, Siqi took a deep breath, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Lu Gongzi's martial arts are not weak, but he personally admits defeat......"

"That's Xiao Chuan deliberately let you, you have already lost since the first move, Siqi you touched your clothes, there was a scratch on your waist, but it was not scratched, yes or no? Touch the position of your life point again, is there a hole the size of a fingertip? Sirou too, see if the two straps at the corners of your skirt are broken in half? That is left by Xiao Chuan in one photo. You are careless of the enemy, and if you really face the enemy, you will be dead in one face. ”

The two women were a little unbelieving at first, but after reading it themselves, they suddenly lost their faces and lowered their heads.

"Please punish Madame. ”

"I've already said before, if you lose, I'll give you to Ogawa, now ......"

Before Mrs. Duan's words fell, the two women cried, they followed Mrs. Duan not for a day or two, but they were by Mrs. Duan's side since they remembered, it was Mrs. Duan who taught them to read and write, it was Mrs. Duan who taught them to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, saying that they were masters and servants, but in fact they were different from mother and daughter? It was like asking them to die.

Mrs. Duan sighed, and was just about to speak, when suddenly there was a plop, and Lu Chuan knelt down, "Aunt Duan, the two sisters and nephews must not be wanted, and I ask my aunt to take back her life." ”

"Huh, you don't like them?"

"It's not that I can't look down on it, but the little nephew doesn't deserve it. The two elder sisters are comfortable in the Heavenly Palace, and the little nephew walks the rivers and lakes, and the sword wind and rain can't give them stability. ”

"It's a rain of swords now, isn't it possible that you won't have a family in the future?"

"If the little nephew has a life, he can get a big revenge, and he is only willing to buy a mountain and settle a house with one person between the smoke and water. Raise your eyebrows and be your companion day and night. Ploughing, fishing, and hunting, do not need servants and maids. ”

"Which of them is this, or who is it?"

"Who is it...... The little nephew didn't dare to think about it right now. ”

Mrs. Duan smiled when she heard this, "Since that's the case, then Aunt won't force you." You don't want them, just change the side for your aunt, Siqi, go and bring Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin over. ”

Siqi Sirou was naturally very happy when she heard that she didn't have to leave the Heavenly Palace, and when she turned around, her eyes changed when she looked at Lu Chuan. Siqi walked out quickly, Sirou put down the bead curtain again, and Mrs. Duan stopped smiling, just like when they first met.

After a short while, the door opened again, and two figures rushed straight in.

Maybe Siqi had already told them, Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin were very excited, especially Jiang Bin, and when they ran to Lu Chuan's side, tears were about to fall.

Looking at Lu Chuan again, he frowned slightly, and scolded: "Shouting, you don't bow when you see the elders, do you still have any courtesy?"

Jiang Bin was still a little stunned, in the end, Wang Shouren was sophisticated, and he crossed the road and bowed to the high platform and said, "Wang Shouren has seen Mrs. Duan." ”

"Big brother......" Jiang Bin was still a little hesitant, but after listening to the bead curtain, Mrs. Duan said: "With what you did, I should have tied you up and thrown you into the sea to feed the fish, but it was for the sake of Xiaochuan's face that I let you stay in the Heavenly Palace to serve tea and pour water." Now that Ogawa is here, you can go back with Ogawa. ”

"Mrs. Xie. ”

"It's not early, Sirou, let's arrange dinner and let Xiaochuan taste the wine of the Heavenly Palace. Siqi sent Jiang Bin off the boat. ”

This eviction order really made everyone present a little embarrassed, and Lu Chuan hurriedly smiled: "Little nephew, send Jiang Bin out." ”

"Come back quickly after delivery, don't wait for the food to be cold. ”

"Yes. ”

When he got outside, Lu Chuan's face was not as serious as when he was inside, and he looked at Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin nodding frequently, and his joy was overflowing.

Wang Shouren and Jiang Bin were also happy, but there were other things in the happiness.

"Big brother, where have you been these days......? How did it get like this?"

"The poison of the Tang Sect is still too domineering, but now it is all healed. Time is limited, I'll tell you slowly when I'm free, and now I'll talk about what we're going to do next. ”

"You arrange it, junior brother. ”

"Leng Longling's brother has news that Hangzhou's fake death has been revealed, and it is time for the senior brother to go home now. Whether it is going to work or being idle, the rivers and lakes are not the destination of the senior brother after all. During this time, the old man was in a hurry. You go to Quanzhou City with Jiang Bin first, there is a Mr. Bai in the inn where we live, ask him to arrange a boat to send you over, I will wait for you in the Heavenly Palace, and we will set off tonight and return to Jinling by water. ”

"What about me?"

"You stay in Quanzhou, practice hard with Cai Hong, and if you want to go to the rivers and lakes with me, your current kung fu is still far behind. ”

"No, I'm going to follow you, I'll go wherever you go. Isn't it just practicing, I'll just put in more effort. ”

"No one cares about you, you seem to be a person who works hard by yourself? Besides, martial arts can not be improved just by hard work, your palm skills are good, but after all, it is less intensive tempering, the martial arts of the Lotus Gate have been inherited for hundreds of years, and the collective wisdom and collective efforts have long been very pure. In addition, there are important things for you to stay in Quanzhou. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to Jinling, and I have to come back after sending my senior brother home, and there may be dangers along the way, and it is neither convenient nor safe to take the two women with me, so I want to leave them in Quanzhou. You have to take care of it, and you must not have an accident, especially Gu Yuelong. You should also be wary of Tang Meier. ”

"In that case, then I'll stay. It just so happened that I killed Yan Yi, the Deng family's house in Longgan Lane in the north of the city was empty, I cleaned up and let them live, and we didn't need to stay in the inn when we came to Quanzhou in the future. ”

"I don't care how I arrange it, it's not too early, you guys hurry up. If there is anything during this time, go to Mr. Bai...... But it shouldn't be necessary, with Cai Hong here, you won't have anything to do in Quanzhou. ”

"Big brother, then let's go. ”

Lu Chuan watched their boat leave the Heavenly Palace, and then he returned to the second floor, while Duan Hao was waiting at the door.

At this time, Duan Hao changed his clothes, and he was no longer wearing the lotus blue straight jacket, but a black gauze folded scarf, a dark green disc collar with narrow sleeves, two shoulders with dragon gold embroidery, and a jade leather boots.

He didn't show up when he was talking to Mrs. Duan just now, so that Mrs. Duan could judge independently, and it didn't matter to him what the result of the judgment was, because at least in his opinion, this young man was really good.

After dinner, it was already completely dark, no matter how anxious Lu Chuan was, he couldn't leave tonight, Duan Hao arranged him in the guest room, but just sat down and drank a sip of water, and before his coat was gone, Duan Hao came in again.

At this time, Duan Hao changed his clothes again, wearing a suit of ethereal arrow sleeves, dressed as an ordinary warrior.

"Uncle. ”

"I heard that you often practice at night and don't sleep, why don't you go over and have a drink or two, and let's talk about it again?"

"The little nephew dares to disobey. ”

Lu Chuan said as he stepped out and closed the door with his backhand, and walked with Duan Hao on the wrong shoulder.

After taking a few steps, Duan Hao took a wrong step, the two suddenly stood side by side, and Lu Chuan quickly stopped.

Duan Hao smiled slightly, and glanced at Lu Chuan up and down, "The clothes are decent...... Your aunt is not here, so you don't have to be so restrained. ”

"Yes. ”

The two went to Duan Hao's study as they spoke, and the maidservants had already arranged the wine and food, and the guests and hosts were seated, Duan Hao glanced at Lu Chuan again and said: "The clothes are decent, but the color is a little darker, young man, try to wear bright clothes, bright colors." ”

"Actually, the little nephew has a moon-white arrow sleeve. ”

"Moon white is very good, why don't you wear it?"

"First, it was the little nephew's night clothes, and second, when it was worn by someone else, the little nephew didn't want to wear it. ”

"Moon-white night walker...... With personality, what color do you guess your uncle's night coat is?"

"Isn't this the one my uncle is wearing now?"

"Haha, that's good. You're getting more and more appetizing to me, but you don't wear the clothes that others have worn...... Could it be that it was pierced by a woman?"

"Uncle is like a god. ”

"What is like God, I found that you have some ...... I was afraid of the woman who said that, and why did I say that?"

"Uh...... The little nephew just thinks that there is a difference between men and women, and that walking in a square way is the right way, and he is afraid...... Not really. ”

"How do you explain this?" Duan Hao said and made a sudden move, and Lu Chuan didn't even have time to take precautions, he took out a handkerchief from his arms.

Lu Chuan's face immediately turned red when he saw this handkerchief, there was only a cold plum on the plain silk, not Duan Xueyu's piece or what?

"Most of Xue Yu's belongings have been soaked in spices made by Ru'er herself, and they are rich and long-lasting, and I will not admit that I am wrong. ”

"Yes, this ...... It's really my sister's, and I asked for it when I went back to the mountain last time. ”

"You...... Is there anything else? I mean other women's things?"

"Uh...... If you don't count the tricks you bought from Jasper Gate, this is the only one. ”

What Lu Chuan said was indeed the truth, there was originally a love thing for Miss Zhang, but after it was taken away by Murong Yun, there was no more.

Duan Hao laughed, "Give it back to you, don't worry if your uncle is joking with you." As he spoke, he put the handkerchief in Lu Chuan's hand.

Lu Chuan put the handkerchief back into his arms, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it. He knew that Duan Hao should have misunderstood, but how to explain this misunderstanding?
