Chapter 13 A few families rejoice and a few families are sad
[The sword shatters and roars in the clouds, dare to scream and be uneasy]
April 21.
A shocking news came, which instantly caused a sensation in the entire Lin'an City.
The eldest prince of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Yushu, is dead!
Dead inexplicably!
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
As soon as this news came out, in less than half a day, it instantly spread throughout the entire Lin'an City.
Naturally, a few families are happy and a few are sad.
The farmers and businessmen in Nancheng were very angry in their hearts, and they wished that these sons and women who were bullying and dominating the market would die a few more.
However, for the rivers and lakes, more people are silently paying attention to the City Lord's Mansion.
I want to see how this lion who has been entrenched in Lin'an for hundreds of years will react.
Not to mention the old city lord Xiaoxiang Night Rain Xiao Moran, an old swordsman who was rampant in the rivers and lakes forty years ago, his son alone, Xiao Huangqi's martial arts attainments are even more blue, and he has already made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes over the years.
is different from Xiao Moran, Xiao Huangqi is a knife-wielder.
The thirty-six section of Tiangang Soul Breaking Knife in one hand is invincible.
It seems that the Xiao family has grown from old to young, and each one is more rebellious than the other.
The son did not inherit the mantle of Xiao Lao's swordsmanship, and changed his sword.
The grandson likes to pretend to be a scholar all day long, but he is idle, with flowers and willow lanes, brocade clothes and jade food.
However, to everyone's disappointment, the City Lord's Mansion was as calm as ever.
The only thing that can be mentioned is that Xiao Huangqi took a large group of people and horses, came out for a walk and went back.
But I don't know why.
Yanyu Building, small bamboo building.
The sun was shining high at noon, and Er Gazi limped back to the small building with the ugly slave.
Yun Xuan meditated all night until noon.
During this period, Lian Xiang'er specially cleaned up a room on the first floor, and prepared some items commonly used by her daughter's family for the ugly slave to live in.
He went out of the city again, went to a tailor's shop, and made several clothes for the two of them.
For Ergazi, most of them are made of high-quality fine velvet silk fabric, which is durable and easy to clean, the color is mostly gray, and the whole set of clothes is made according to the short placket, which looks clean and neat, whether it is practicing martial arts or walking the rivers and lakes, it can be worn.
For the ugly slave, after all, it is a female baby, Lian Xianger finally thought for a long time, and customized several sets of identical ones for the ugly slave according to the style of Ergazi, the difference is that the white fabric was chosen.
After a busy time, Lian Xiang'er went up to the second floor of the small building lightly.
The two-story bamboo door is open on both sides, but a bamboo curtain hangs down, which is the same as the bamboo curtain structure of the Linjiang Pavilion, which is the design of seeing the inside and outside, and not looking at the inside.
Lian Xiang'er leaned into half of her body, peeked in, and saw that Yun Xuan was cultivating with her eyes closed, so she entered the house and carefully wiped the neat furnishings in the room again.
But even she couldn't understand why she did it.
If you have to say it, it's idle.
Thinking of this in his heart, he glanced at the delicate sandalwood box that he had quietly placed in the corner, quietly went over and took it, and put it on the table in the hall.
Suddenly, he felt that it was not appropriate to put it here, so he wiped the cabinet on one side of the hall with one hand, and lightly put the sandalwood box in it.
"You've cleaned up this house three times today. ”
Yun Xuan's voice came.
"Huh, Childe, are you awake?"
Lian Xiang'er was startled, as if she had done something bad and was discovered, her little heart was pounding.
Turning to look, he saw that Yun Xuan was still meditating with his eyes closed, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Did Childe speak just now?
Seems to have said......
What are you talking about?......
"Miss Xiang'er, you have something to say. ”
Yun Xuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lian Xiang'er, and asked again.
"Hmm~......"
"No ......."
Lian Xiang'er lowered her head, her heart beat faster, and her face was flushed until her ears reached her ears.
Yun Xuan was a little amused by this easily shy little girl, and said helplessly:
"Okay, just say what you have to say, I'm not a jackal, a tiger and a leopard, I can't eat you. ”
Hearing this, Lian Xiang'er snorted:
"I prepared a new set of clothes for Childe, do you want to change into it......"
Yun Xuan heard that he looked at his gray clothes, which were still the coarse cloth clothes that Er Gazi had bought before, and immediately nodded and smiled.
"There's Miss Lao. ”
Lian Xiang'er took out the sandalwood box, took out a set of clothes from it, and slowly unfolded it.
The purpose is to wear a white dress, under a closer look, the placket neckline, placket, and the bottom of the placket are circled with gold and black background brocade, which is a little noble, but the fabric is a rare filament pattern cloth, which is layered with fine lines, elegant and noble, most of the right placket is covered by the left placket, open the left placket, you can see that there are two orchids on the right placket, one will bloom, one will live under it, with buds to be placed, the whole dress is clean and neat, but it does not lose the dignity and generosity.
Yun Xuan took the placket, but saw Lian Xiang'er hand over another one.
"What is this?"
Lian Xiang'er's face turned even redder.
"It's the ...... Placket ......"
Yun Xuan simply took it together, and seeing that Lian Xiang'er was still standing in place, he immediately said:
"I'll just change it myself, thank you Miss Xiang'er. ”
But I saw that Lian Xiang'er suddenly looked at herself unusually, her two big eyes were watery, and her face was full of redness.
"No...... Don't be polite to the slave, ...... Childe, can you call me Xiang'er directly in the future......?"
After speaking, without waiting for Yun Xuan to speak, he turned around and ran down the stairs of the small building.
Lian Xiang'er's heart beat wildly all the way, ran back to her cabin, washed her hot cheeks with water again, and after a long while, it gradually subsided.
After asking Yunxuan to change her clothes, Lian Xiang'er went upstairs again.
Seeing Yun Xuan in a new outfit, Lian Xiang'er was stunned.
The person in front of him has white hair fluttering, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, standing alone, as if he came out of the painting to be a beautiful son, and like a fairy descending to earth, peerless and independent.
Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and there are no gods on the back of donkeys.
"Childe, you ...... It's also a little better......"
Yun Xuan smiled faintly when he heard this, and said:
"It's just a skin, Xiang'er...... Eh, Ye Yun and they are back, get ready, let's eat. ”
Yun Xuan originally wanted to talk about Miss Xiang'er, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back.
Lian Xiang'er's heart was suddenly sweet, and she cheered and went downstairs to prepare the meal.
The previous meals were all taken from the kitchen on the first floor of Yanyu Building, since the poisoning incident, Lian Xiang'er felt guilty, and after being Yun Xuan's maid, she became idle, so every meal was prepared by herself.
Yun Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, walked out of the door, and saw Ergazi and the ugly slave with a embarrassed face.
With a slight wave of his hand and motioning for the two to go upstairs, Yun Xuan turned around and walked to the hall and sat down.
Ergazi pulled the ugly slave who was a little hesitant and walked up to the second floor together.
The ugly slave learned the origin of Yun Xuan from Er Gazi's mouth, and she was slightly curious about this mysterious "Second Brother Master" in her heart, and at the same time had a trace of envy.
Envy? The ugly slave himself can't tell.
The two of them went upstairs, but they didn't pay attention to it, and at this moment, when they saw Yun Xuan dressed in white, like an immortal, Er Gazi immediately wanted to kneel and kowtow again.
Yun Xuan said helplessly:
"It's just a matter of changing clothes, no fuss. ”
After saying that, the index finger of his right hand was tapped, and a trace of mystical energy was released.
Ergazi only felt that there were bursts of heat rushing through his body, surprisingly comfortable, and the pain was lost.
The ugly slave first looked at Yun Xuan in shock, and when they first met, they already felt that Yun Xuan was shocked, how could there be such a handsome person in this world.
Who knew that when I said goodbye, it seemed that I would be much taller than the celestials, and the height would be boundless.
If you have to describe it in one word, it's good-looking!
It's indescribably so beautiful!
Suddenly, thinking of his ugly appearance, he suddenly felt ashamed of himself, and couldn't help but secretly turn his back, and wiped two handfuls of his face with both hands, and then lowered his head and turned around.
"You, called Ugly Slave?"
"Master, her name is Xiao Ga. ”
Ergazi didn't wait for the ugly slave to speak, and said first.
Yun Xuan nodded, then looked at the ugly slave, and said word by word:
"Are you willing to worship me as a teacher, like Ye Yun, as half of my disciple?"
The girl was stunned.
Ergazi was also stunned, and immediately after reacting, he jumped up on one foot and shouted:
"Master, she's willing!"
"Big brother is not here, she has to listen to me, she must be willing!"
Ergazi immediately turned around and grabbed the ugly slave's shoulders with both hands, and shook excitedly:
"Xiao Gazi, tell the second brother, are you willing, right?"
The ugly slave reacted and lowered his head, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
"Are you talking?!Would you like to?!"
Ergazi was anxious and turned his head to look at Yun Xuan.
"Master, she must be willing, she must be speechless with excitement. ”
Yun Xuan didn't speak, just looked at the ugly slave quietly.
"My good girl, you are talking!"
Ergazi scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, let go of a hand holding the ugly slave, and helped her head.
On a small face covered with mud, tears were clearly visible.
At this moment, tears are rolling down.
"What are you crying about?! Master, his old man never accepts apprentices easily, say yes!"
"Say~!!"
Ergazi's green muscles burst out and roared.
The ugly slave raised her little face, barely bared out a mouthful of small white teeth, and let the black tears slide down and flow into her mouth mixed with mud.
"I didn't cry. ”
"Then do you say yes or no, yes, yes?"
Ergazi looked at the ugly slave with a look of hope.
"I ......"
The ugly slave shed tears again.
"Ah~!"
But he suddenly screamed, broke away from Ergazi's hand, wiped his face with both hands again, squatted on the ground and held his head and whimpered.
Crying and wearing makeup, how can you let others see it.
"Promise to be my disciple, this scar can be given to you. ”
The trembling figure of the ugly slave stopped.
Immediately stared at Yun Xuan with wide eyes.
"Meridians, do you know?"
Yun Xuan asked.
The ugly slave shook her head.
"Your meridians..... If you want to be cured, you can only use a small amount of Xuan Qi every day, at least half a year, or more than a year, and you can recover. ”
Seeing Yun Xuan say this, the ugly slave believed it a little.
"I ...... Promise. ”
On Xiaohua's face, a smile is like a flower in full bloom.
"Great, kowtow to Master and his old man. ”
Ergazi finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said.
Hearing this, the ugly slave knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said:
"Master. ”
Lian Xiang'er happened to return at this moment, carrying a basket of food in her hand.
first glared at Ergazi, that means, you call the old man again!
Ergazi hurriedly shrunk his neck.
"Congratulations to Childe for adding another disciple. ”
Yun Xuan nodded and motioned for Lian Xiang'er to sit down on the side.
"Since you are half of my disciple, if you want to practice martial arts, I can pass you a move and a half. ”
Seeing this, Er Gazi was just about to speak, but was glanced at by Yun Xuan's eyes, and he became honest.
The ugly slave thought about it, thought of the suffering she had suffered over the years, and immediately affirmed:
"Master, I want to practice martial arts. ”
Yun Xuan nodded, and replied:
"From now on, your name is Ye Ling, remember. ”
Suddenly, Yun Xuanfu reached his heart, and he felt that there seemed to be a change between heaven and earth.
He frowned slightly, got up and walked to the platform, and looked up.
Black clouds cover the sun, and heaven and earth are killed.
In between, there were hundreds of beasts galloping, neighing and roaring.
Ominous!
Yun Xuan's right hand flipped over, and the long sword was in his hand.
With a long cry, the spring thunder came out of the sheath, and Yun Xuan used a sword from the bottom to the top.
Dial the clouds!
Then the long sword was sheathed, and Ye Xuan turned around and walked into the building.
Outside the building, the black clouds dispersed, and the slaughter was completely eliminated, and it was peaceful.
The Tao is a sword shattered and roaring in the clouds, and An dares to bark and is not alive!
......
Tianxiang Pavilion.
After listening to Li San's narration, Hua Jieyu suddenly frowned.
"We were looking for a scholar, and the other party sent the scholar to the door, and then poisoned him. ”
Li San's face was cold, and he said in a low voice:
"The other party wants us to have no way to investigate, the key is still the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion! ”
Hua Xie Yu held his forehead, and then said:
"No matter how this Xiao Yushu died, you have to release the news, just say that this matter was done by Guiyuan Sect. ”
"Xiao Yushu died in the Drunken Immortal Building, I'm worried that the other party will use tricks again, last time it was the Underground Pavilion, and this time it is the City Lord's Mansion, one is bigger than the other. ”
"Once the City Lord's Mansion thinks that we did it, then it will be difficult for this matter to end. ”
Lian Fang'er nodded yes.
"Childe, what are we going to do next?"
"Get ready to greet the people of the City Lord's Mansion, it's impossible for the other party to ignore such a big thing. ”
Hua Jieyu suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, and she said:
"How did I forget this!"
Li San and Lian Fang'er both looked at Hua Xie Yu with surprised expressions.
Just listen to Hua Jieyu word by word and say:
"Cloak knife, Huang Gang. ”
Li San was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up.
I saw Hua Jieyu get up and walk out of the Tianxiang Pavilion and walked straight to the pavilion on the side.
Li San and Lian Fang'er hurriedly followed.
Walking to the pavilion, I saw Hua Jieyu reverse the stone table in the middle of the pavilion twice, only to hear a click.
The stone bench on the side slowly rose, and below the stone bench was a hollow dark grid.
At this moment, in the dark compartment, a piece of parchment is lying quietly.
Hua Xie Yu took out the parchment paper and turned the stone table to restore the mechanism.
"Third master, did you say that the other party's purpose is this?"
Hua Xie Yu sat down on the stone bench, opened the parchment, and spread it on the stone table.
I saw that the whole parchment paper was in the shape of a long strip, the size of one foot square, and the color was slightly yellow, as if it had gone through many years.
It is full of unknown words, and when you count them, there are hundreds of words.
Li San heard the words and said:
"It's very likely, but unfortunately I don't know the content of this, and I guess Huang Gang's guy doesn't know much about it, otherwise if I give him the one, he can see at a glance that many handwriting is different. ”
"That day in the Drunken Immortal Building, I only heard him show off drunk, saying that this thing recorded the way to become a top master. ”
"Maybe the theft of the Tianxiang Pavilion last time and the recent events have something to do with this thing. ”
Li San then said with some rejoicing:
"Fortunately, Childe was smart and hid this thing outside, and it is estimated that the other party couldn't think of it if he wanted to break his head, so Childe hid him outside. ”
Hua Xie Yu smiled faintly when she heard this, rolled the sheepskin in her hand, and narrowed her long Danfeng eyes slightly.
"We've been passive before, and if the other party's purpose is really this, then it's interesting. ”
At this moment, a white and blue waiter walked from the bridge, and said:
"Childe, someone from the City Lord's Mansion is here. ”
Hua Xie Yu immediately got up and said:
"I'll go with Fang'er, Third Master, you don't have to worry about the scholar for a while, turn over the library and treasure pavilion of the Haogin clan on the north shore and everything to see if there is any similar handwriting, if you find it, report it to me quickly." ”
"Hey, hey, I like this job. ”
Li San immediately smiled and took the order.
Smoke and rain building, stay in the fairy pavilion.
Hua Xie Yu took Lian Fang'er all the way to the pavilion, and when she entered the pavilion, she saw one of the guests standing up and bowing first:
"The playboy can come to see the old man in his busy schedule, but he is fortunate to have three lives. ”
I saw that the person who came was dressed in black, and the golden lion was tattooed into a golden lion with gold threads, entrenched in the mountains and forests, quite noble and domineering, and then looked at its clothes neatly and neatly, with a black gold and jade crown, and the gray hair was all wrapped, and a pair of fast boots for climbing the clouds were stepped on.
What is more conspicuous is that on its head, there is a white belt around it.
Looking at his face again, he saw that the corners of this person's eyes were drooping downward, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, giving birth to a natural smiling Buddha.
This person is the number one butler of the City Lord's Mansion, named Qin Yulian.
"Which immortal is here, it turned out to be the great housekeeper of Qin, no wonder I got up early in the morning, and the magpie on the branch chirped, it turned out that there was a noble person who wanted to come to my Yanyu Building. ”
Seeing that it was Qin Yulian who came, Hua Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief, the other party sent him, then there is probably room for alleviation in this matter, otherwise, it will be Xiao Huangqi, the Soul Breaking Knife, who will come directly.
The two sat opposite each other, and Lian Fang'er poured the prepared tea for the two of them one by one, and stood aside.
I saw Qin Yulian pick up the tea bowl, blow it gently, taste it, and then sigh and say:
"Alas, presumably the old man's intentions are already very clear, so he just said it directly. ”
Hua Xie Yu nodded on the side and motioned for Qin Yulian to continue.
"Xiaoshu's death is a huge blow to our City Lord's Mansion, but no matter what, people are dying because of being involved in your affairs. I said that, does Childe think it's right?"
Hua Xie Yu nodded slightly and said:
"For the death of the Jade Scholar, I am also deeply sorry here, I think I don't say that you should also know that the Drunken Immortal Building Yu Renxiong was instructed by the wicked to annex my Yanyu Building, fortunately, he had to meet the nobles to save him, otherwise I am afraid that he would have to go one step ahead of the Jade Scholar. ”
Qin Yulian nodded when he heard this, picked up the tea bowl and took another sip, and said slowly:
"The old man has no intention of blaming, but this time I came on the orders of my housewife to confirm the situation to the playboy, after all, what we heard is still different from what we have heard. ”
"At the moment, I just hope that the playboy can find out the real culprit as soon as possible, and give an explanation to Yanyulou and the city lord's mansion. ”
"Please rest assured that Elder Qin's words will live up to Elder Qin's trust. ”
Hua Jieyu's expression was solemn, and his eyes were sharp.
"It's so good, the old man has to go back to deal with the eldest son's funeral, so he will leave first, and the son doesn't have to send him off. ”
After saying that, he got up, took a few steps back towards Hua Jieyu, and turned around and walked out of Liuxian Pavilion.
Hua Jieyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip gently.
It's a lot easier than I expected.
