Cheng Ping drank the medicine, and after a while, the cold subsided, and he walked out of the house, looking as usual. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He thanked Jun Li first, and insisted on rushing back to Qinglong Valley immediately. A few old people couldn't stop him, so they could only give him a few doses of medicine and told him to take it for three days.

The two left Cheng's house at nearly noon. Passing by the Gu family first, Cheng Ping asked Jun Li to go back first. Jun Li thought for a moment and said, "In your current situation, I'll send you back." Wait a minute. ”

He took the case out. He didn't have a box on his back all day, he always felt that something was missing, even if he held the unparalleled "black sword" in the world, it didn't seem to be as safe as his own bamboo box.

As soon as I arrived at the door to meet Cheng Ping, I suddenly saw a horse galloping from afar - riding alone in the downtown - very eye-catching. When the horse got closer, Jun Li saw it clearly--immediately the man frowned slightly, his teeth clenched, he held the reins in one hand and whipped in the other, and his whole body was as tight as a tense bow, revealing a kind of unique strength.

That's not intentional.

Cheng Ping also recognized him, and as he opened his mouth to shout, the horse had already galloped closer. Unintentionally seeing him, his face was happy, a hanging rein slowed down, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, get on the horse quickly." ”

"How's going on in the valley?" Cheng Ping asked.

"Don't ask, come on!" Shan was anxious. Cheng Ping turned over and got on the horse as he said. Unintentionally, he said to Jun Li: "Uncle, someone asked, don't say they've seen us." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Jun Li had some bad premonitions.

"I can't say too much now!" Unintentionally, Cheng Ping had already sat down, and without waiting for Jun Li to answer, he clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped again, but it followed the direction of his suitability, not back to Qinglong Valley.

Jun Li only felt like a gust of wind blowing by his side, his clothes had just floated up, and the backs of the two were already far away. But before I had time to think about it, I heard the sound of trampling like raindrops, and this time, there were really a lot of horses.

As soon as he dodged into the door, four of them rode to the door of Gu's house, and the first man looked at the lintel, and took the reins from himself, and wanted to break in.

Jun Li hurriedly blocked the door and said, "How can you be like you, who doesn't get off the horse and break into the house?"

The horse was startled, and the half-man stood up, almost kicking him to the tip of the nose. When everyone in the Gu house heard this, they also held their own swords and appeared on the patio in front of the door.

Seeing that there were not many people, the man snorted. "Give the order from the head to search for someone. If you know each other, just step away!" As he spoke, he unfolded a piece of paper that seemed to be an official document in his hand, only to see that there were some dense words on it, and there were also official seals, but others were on the horse, and they were put away immediately, and they couldn't see clearly.

"Do you know what kind of place this is?" A big man walked out on Jun Li's left, remembering that it was a very relied on confidant of Gu Shizhong, named Zheng Dan.

The man on the horse sneered. "It's just a Hui merchant with a little wealth, what's the matter, the official documents are here, can you still disobey?"

Seeing that he was arrogant, Jun Li was unhappy in his heart, and said: "Even if you really have documents, please get off the horse first." ”

"Bold!" the man struck at Jun Li with a whip in his hand. Jun Li subconsciously raised his sword to block it, and the whip tip hit the sword surface, tearing the white cloth wrapped in the sword with a "stab".

The man's whip was withdrawn, and it sounded out of thin air, and the second whip was about to hit again, Jun Li was about to draw his sword, when suddenly he shouted angrily, and a figure grabbed the whip that was swinging, and with force in his hand, he stiffened the momentum. It's not someone else, it's Gu Shizhong.

Gu Shizhong drank this and took it, majestic and majestic. Jun Li secretly admired his father-in-law in his heart, so he stepped back. I only heard my father-in-law say: "Old man Gu Shizhong, dare to ask the official master for any advice?" He didn't let go of his hand, and his eyes were blazing and he looked at the man on the horse. The man quietly twitched the horsewhip, but he didn't move it slightly, knowing that his hand was very strong, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and pretended to be a haha, Old Man Gu is naturally the best when he comes, no better than those young people who don't know what to do.

"If you look for someone, you will find it, what does it mean to come to my house?" Gu Shizhong was hesitant, if he didn't want to offend the official family, he would have taken him off the horse.

The man laughed dryly and said, "I heard that Gu Ye had a big birthday yesterday and wrapped up all the Hongfu Mansions, so there must be a lot of people, so I came to ask." ”

"The banquet has been dispersed, and the official is coming to look for it now, I'm afraid it's too late. Gu Shizhong said coldly.

Just as he was at a stalemate, he suddenly saw a few horsemen behind him get out of the way, and someone shouted: "Master Zhang!" Gu Shizhong and Jun Li both looked up and saw a person striding in. This person is in his forties, with a brocade coat and a soap hat, and a medium stature, but his hands and feet are slender.

As soon as the adult stopped in the door, he glanced at this posture, and then smiled first: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, old man Gu is not angry." Then he reached out to grab the stiff horsewhip, and said, "Why are you wild in front of Old Man Gu, and you don't take the whip away!"

Immediately, of course, that person didn't want to accept it, but he was caught by Gu Shizhong like this, and he couldn't take it back. But Master Zhang only touched the whip, and Gu Shizhong already felt the heat in his palm, and he involuntarily let go, and the whip retracted. He knew that this Lord Zhang was a strong rival, and he was familiar with it all over Huizhou, but he had never seen such a "Lord Zhang". ”

Master Zhang waved his hand to order a few people to exit outside, and then said: "Although it is a misunderstanding - but I still want to ask the old man - at the moment we are looking for an eighteen-year-old young man, the best feature should be that he is missing a little finger on his left hand, I wonder if the old man has an impression?"

Jun Li was secretly shocked in his heart, and said in his heart Who are they looking for Cheng Ping? Unintentionally, they must have known about it, and Tete took Cheng Ping away. Cheng Ping never seemed to be shy about his hand disease, and his father-in-law must have known about it, and he didn't know how he would answer.

I only heard Gu Shizhong already say: "I haven't seen it." Dare to ask why the adults are looking for this person?"

"Hehe, what's this......" Master Zhang obviously didn't want to say it explicitly, and said to him, "It's also that we don't do things well." I heard that this person was hiding in the Qinglong Sect, and he went to the Qinglong Valley to search last night, but he didn't want to find it, so he remembered Gu Ye's birthday yesterday, maybe that young man would come here. ”

Jun Li was more and more shocked in his heart, hearing him say the words "search in the Qinglong Valley" so lightly, he really didn't know what the Qinglong Sect was doing now.

I only heard Gu Shizhong say again: "I really don't have an impression. ”

"Oh?" The adult's chin was slightly raised, and looking at Gu Shizhong's expression, he looked a little intimidated. "Gu Ye, do you want to think about it again?"

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

"Hey, it means that if Gu Ye really doesn't have it, then let me search it down. ”

"How can this be reasonable!" Gu Shizhong said angrily. "Even if you are an official, how can the Gu family's mansion allow you to search if you say it. ”

"Hmph, I have an official document here--there is a decree from the Holy Father, and this person must be caught no matter what, if there is any obstruction-"

The man didn't say anything else, but the threat was obvious. Here, Jun Li and the others were already shocked in their hearts, secretly thinking that Cheng Ping was just a little boy in Huizhou, how could he make an order to be arrested by the emperor of heaven?

But there's no time to think about it at the moment. After all, what this adult has in his hand is only an official document, not a holy decree, so he wants to search the mansion, and Gu Shizhong is absolutely unwilling to agree. However, this person is working hard, and there are a lot of reinforcements outside, so if he really wants to start, it is good to see no results. When he saw that Zheng Dan and the others had already unsheathed their blades and pointed at the adult, his heart suddenly moved, and he also crossed the sword in his hand, and said: "If the adult wants to search forcibly, then don't blame me for being polite." ”

Master Zhang turned to look at him. He had a determined look on his face, he didn't take this Taoist priest in his eyes, he just glanced at it casually. But at a glance, his gaze was glued—by the half-exposed black scabbard.

He had to move his gaze to Jun Li's face. Jun Li did not speak. When he looked at this adult's eyes, he knew that he didn't need to say anything.

This Lord Zhang looked at Jun Li for a long time, and Fang Chang sighed and said, "The black color is cold in the world - people are in Qinglong Valley, and the sword is in Huizhou City - count him as smart!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around, went to the door and waved to the horses, and without looking back, the group all left.

Jun Li breathed a sigh of relief. The fox and the fake tiger are not what he wants, but in this case, there is only one way. He was worried that this adult would not buy Ling Li's account of a character in the rivers and lakes, but when he saw him retreat, he knew that Ling Li's act of borrowing a sword that day was not his arrogance.

In fact, if Ling Li was not a killer, it would be fine, but there are too many legends, and it is often heard that there are often officials and rich people under his hands who die unknowingly, and now that this adult has seen it, how can he not feel a chill.

"Grandpa, what's going on?" Gu Rufei had just come out of the backyard. "I heard that there are officers and soldiers who are searching for people?"

"Rufei, you should go and get busy with the things that grandpa just explained to you. Gu Shizhong said with a heavy face. "Those officers and soldiers should not come again for a while, grandpa is going to go out. ”

"Go out, but ......" Gu Rufei was a little surprised. "Nothing happened last night yet—how the poison was laid hasn't been found out yet, is there something more urgent now?"

“…… Jun Li is also here now, in short, you step up your investigation of this matter, and I will be back soon!" Gu Shizhong's tone hardened, and he walked out.

"Father-in-law!" Jun Li followed to the door. "Is my father-in-law going to the Green Dragon Valley?"

Just looking at Gu Shizhong's expression, he knew that he had not guessed wrong.

"What, grandpa, are you going to Qinglong Valley?" Gu Rufei also followed. "What are you doing there!"

"Judging by the current situation, the Blue Dragon Sect is likely to be in danger. Gu Shizhong said. "The sect leader is not in the valley, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will collude with Heizhu and will take advantage of the situation, I have to go and see. ”

"The Qinglong Sect is not dangerous, what does it matter to us? The Qinglong Sect Master has long since stopped taking us into account like that, so why does Grandpa care about its life and death!"

"Shut up!" Gu Shizhong said angrily. "Rufei, how do I teach you on weekdays? The Gu family is the Gu family of the Qinglong Sect first, and then the Gu family's own Gu family, and the Gu family of Huizhou City! What happened back then was that we were sorry for the Qinglong Sect, no matter what, I can't sit idly by and watch the Qinglong Sect fall into danger and do nothing!"

"But the Blue Dragon Sect Master doesn't necessarily care!" Gu Rufei still argued. "Doesn't he think he's great, and he's not uncommon to us. Now that grandpa has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, the officers and soldiers and the Black Bamboo Society, we can't afford to provoke any of them, if we get into these troubles again, the family business that we have worked hard for so many years will not be completely ruined!"

"Bastard!" Gu Shizhong became angry, raised his hand and slapped him in the face. "Your aunt is in the sect, and those uncles and uncles of the Qinglong Sect are all friends of your father and your grandfather, and you have not been cared for by them since you were a child? Now that they are in danger, don't you have the slightest worry? Your father was born in the Qinglong Valley, died in the Qinglong Valley, and his bones were also buried in the valley, and the sect leader allowed you to go into the valley once a year to worship him, and you forgot? If you don't think about others, you don't want to think about your dead father, and don't you want to think about whether he will be trampled on now?"

Gu Rufei covered his face, obviously still unconvinced, although his voice was lower, he still resisted: "But I'm thinking about grandpa......"

"Flying. Gu Shizhong's tone sank. "Grandpa said that no matter when, I only hope that the children and grandchildren of our Gu family will be men who stand up to the sky, and they will be people and do things with a righteous word, not a sharp word. You are still young, and you are not from the Blue Dragon Sect, so I don't blame you for saying those words. It's not that the things at home don't matter, I also want you to stay here and find out what happened last night, but over there in Qinglong Valley, grandpa has to go!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "Jun Li, you and Rufei-"

"I'll accompany my father-in-law to Qinglong Valley. Jun Li has said.

Gu Shizhong was stunned. "Jun Li, the Blue Dragon Sect has nothing to do with you......

"They are not here, there will be nothing at home for the time being, the Qinglong Sect is now dangerous and unpredictable, not only like flying, I also don't want to see my father-in-law alone in danger, but since I can't persuade it, I have to go with it. ”

Gu Shizhong saw that although his tone was not high, his tone was resolute, he thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, Jun Li will go with me." Rufei, don't forget what I told you!"

"Master......" Zheng Dan and others on the side, "We will also go with you......"

"You stay, help the little master!" Gu Shizhong responded without refuting, and as soon as the words fell, the person had already walked out.

Jun Li silently followed behind him, and it was not until he was far away from home that he spoke: "My father-in-law knew that this trip was dangerous, so he didn't let them go with him, right?"

"It's not necessarily dangerous, it's just that the situation is unknown. Gu Shizhong sighed. "But you have Ling Gongzi's sword by your side, I'm not too worried. ”

After a while, he said again: "It's just Jun Li, you have just come back, and you want to encounter such troubles - when I find out what went wrong with yesterday's wine banquet another day, I will definitely solve the person involved and you will deal with it!"

"Father, what is this? Jun Li said, "I...... Speaking of which, I haven't returned for more than ten years, I have long been unfilial, my father-in-law still regards me as a son, Jun Li is really ashamed, but I want to be able to do my best for my father-in-law, share worries and solve problems, and relieve some guilt in my heart. ”

"Actually...... Jun Li, you don't have to be like this now. When I accepted you as my son, it was actually my brain. Later, when I thought about it, you were an outsider who had nothing to do, and suddenly put on the shackles of the world, which was difficult for you. Now that Rufei is also older, I have set a family affair for him, plus your brother-in-law's side, I also promised his third son Yifei to take the surname of our Gu family, you can relax, father-in-law, you only have time to come and see, but don't have any scruples. ”

Jun Li was silent, only nodded. If there is anyone in this world who is good to himself, except for the master, he will be his father-in-law. But when he thought of this, he suddenly had a startled realization and stopped.

Am I going to hurt him?" he thought suddenly. "I have never seen such a dangerous horoscope as yours, and all of them are enough to bring your life to an abrupt end, or to bring misfortune to your loved ones. He did not forget this sentence. Is my father-in-law my closest relative? If I am so close to him, will I invite calamity? Is what happened last night because I came to this birthday feast on a whim?

"What?" Gu Shizhong also stopped.

Jun Li shook his head. "No, nothing. ”
