Chapter 344: Simon Jackal
A carriage walked along the mountain path, guarded by four sword-wielding warriors on horseback. Seeing their temples bulging high, there is a kind of majestic aura in their gestures, and they are obviously masters of internal cultivation.
In the carriage, a stunning woman sat down, dressed in a water-colored gauze skirt elegant and dignified, her long hair was like a black waterfall on her side, and a beautiful maid beside her was helping her coil up her long hair little by little.
The stunning woman was holding a pipa in her arms, plucking it with her bare hands, and the sound of string music came out, making people feel like they were in the clouds. Even the original chirping of birds in the forest died down in an instant, as if they were quietly listening to this unheard of fairy song in the world.
After the song was written, the mountains and forests were still peaceful and quiet, and it was only after the carriage was far away that there was a slight sound of birds and insects in the mountains and forests again.
In this world, a woman who can use the pipa to play such a unique sound in the world, except for Gu Qingcheng, how can there be her!
"Sister, I feel that your rhythm has improved again. Gu Qingcheng's maid Wei Lan coiled up the last strand of hair and fixed it with a goose-yellow grate, and finally finished finishing her makeup.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care, she sighed lightly: "Now that the war in the north is unfavorable, how many people are displaced and hungry, even if my music has reached the realm of heaven and man, I still can't do anything, what's the use." ”
The sound of horses' hooves came from outside, from far and near.
Gu Qingcheng opened the curtains first, looked at the young man who came on horseback, and smiled politely: "Master Ximen, where are we at the moment?"
The son surnamed Ximen hurried two steps in parallel with the carriage, looking at the beautiful face behind the curtain, and his heart trembled involuntarily: "It's time to go to Qianjiazhuang ahead, this Qianjiazhuang is one of the largest households in the vicinity, and my Ximen family and everyone Gu will come forward together, and they will be willing to contribute some money and food." ”
Simon's family, there is only one person in the world who can claim to be so self-professed!
Among the four major families of the east, west, north and south, the "West Gate is absolutely in charge"!
The land of the Central Plains is vast, and the four major families are each based on one side! The Oriental Heavenly Sword, the Northern Hell Sword, the Nangong Fierce Spear, and the Ximen Absolute Palm! Each of them is a giant, each family has existed for thousands of years, and has experienced countless dynasties and still stands proudly on the land of the Central Plains!
The Oriental family started with shipping and dominated the southeast.
The Beiming family started with the military industry and built the iron armor of soldiers, which is well-known in the north and south of the country.
The Nangong family started with the ambition of loyalty and righteousness, and has persevered for hundreds of years, resisting the southern invaders of Yunzhou with the strength of one family, and is admired by the world!
The Ximen family also started with commerce, but they occupied the southwest direction and controlled countless large and small transportation businesses in the interior, and even the emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty and the previous dynasties had to act according to their eyes in this regard.
The four major families showed their abilities, and they were originally peaceful. However, with the expansion of the family business, the Dongfang family's sphere of influence has extended inland, and it is naturally easy to have friction with the Ximen family.
Originally, the two families tried their best to restrain themselves in the conflict, because it would be of no benefit to both sides to really tear their faces, but the head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Que, was born out of nowhere, and at the age of forty, he became one of the top ten masters in the world, and it is one of the four swords in the world, which can be said to have completely changed the pattern of the four major families with his own strength.
The most affected in this area is the Ximen family, which has been shrinking its sphere of influence and avoiding conflict over the years. But in the eyes of the world, it has become a symptom of the family's gradual decline. As a result, some people in the southwest of the Central Plains controlled by the Ximen family had abnormal hearts. As a last resort, the Ximen family could only strengthen the means of control, allowing the young head of the Ximen family, Ximen Yuan, to travel around and pacify the various forces under the command of the family.
By chance, Ximen Yuan met Gu Qingcheng, who was traveling in the southwest, and was immediately shocked! A heart on Gu Qingcheng couldn't be pulled out!
At this time, the war in the north started, and Gu Qingcheng hoped to make a modest contribution to the war in the north, so he used his reputation among the people to lobby all parties, hoping to awaken the patriotic heart of people of insight and donate food to help the north.
It was from this that Ximen Yuan walked into Gu Qingcheng's side. He accompanied Gu Qingcheng in the name of an escort, and at the same time used the influence of the Ximen family to get local forces to donate money and food. With the Ximen family taking the lead, Gu Qingcheng's results have been remarkable, so even if Gu Qingcheng has already seen that Ximen's motive is impure, he pretends not to know.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Ximen Yuan riding on a horse through the corner of the car window, although in terms of appearance alone, Ximen Yuan did have something outstanding, his eyes were sharp and powerful, especially a pair of hands, like jade and snow, he didn't look like a martial arts practitioner at all, and even more beautiful than a woman's hands. Number Six
After this time, Qingcheng wanted to go back to Jingyang to recuperate for a while. Presumably, the money and food promised by all parties should also be delivered to Jingyang, if so, it would be better. Gu Qingcheng's eyebrows were like distant mountains, and Gu Pan was even more moving, which made Ximen Yuan slightly stunned.
"Since this is the case, then Ah Yuan will send Qingcheng to commit Jingyang, if Qingcheng is allowed to go back by himself, Ah Yuan is really difficult to rest assured. ”
Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly, but the cover of the curtains made Ximen Yuan not see it.
Qingcheng, I don't remember when I promised to let you call me Qingcheng!
It's just that Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything because of this, but lowered the curtain to isolate Ximen Yuan outside the car. Gu Qingcheng, who was sitting in the car, held the pipa, plucking it intentionally or unintentionally, and his thoughts were already floating on the flying road.
Qingcheng, where is the so-and-so who once called Qingcheng now.
............
Hmph, you will be my woman sooner or later!
After Gu Qingcheng lowered the curtains, the smile on Ximen Yuan's face suddenly left, and his hands, which were a little smoother than ordinary beauties, grabbed the reins tightly, and his eyes became cold.
If it were an ordinary man, I am afraid that they might not dare to give him the opportunity to get close to Gu Qingcheng, because Gu Qingcheng is so beautiful that his reputation is even registered among the palace and various princes. It has even become a meat belly in the eyes of some powerful people, and they can only taste the tender and delicious taste when the time is ripe. Therefore, as long as a man dares to reveal his intent to be close to Gu Qingcheng, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will disappear inexplicably in the world!
But Ximen Yuan is different, he is the only son of Ximen Zheng, and the Ximen family is a rich country, and it is not something that a certain magnate in the Great Wei Dynasty can move at all. If you really talk about it, Ximenyuan's status is even enough to be comparable to several princes, how can he be afraid of the means of those powerful people.
So he could be bold enough to get close to Gu Qingcheng, but to her disappointment, Gu Qingcheng actually ignored him!
Although he was not angry in his heart, Ximen Yuan still politely stepped back, distanced himself from the chariot carried by Gu Qingcheng, and entered the queue of Ximen's family behind him.
Originally, according to Ximen Yuan's idea, he directly used strong means to catch Gu Qingcheng and then do good things. But he was stopped by the people around him. Gu Qingcheng's prestige is far beyond Ximen Yuan's imagination. Although Gu Qingcheng is only a woman, she has already attained attainments in the way of music and rhythm, and she can even use this to heal others. At the beginning, he also saved many people in the martial arts. Since then, there have always been some people in the martial arts who have spontaneously guarded Gu Qingcheng in order to be grateful.
And the four people guarding here at this moment are the best among them!
Ximen Yuan looked at the four guards in front of him, and the corners of his eyes pulled out a narrow and dangerous arc. A grim smile flashed in his eyes, instantly tearing his humble and gentlemanly appearance to shreds!
He didn't pay attention to the other three at all, but there was an old man who made him feel dangerous. The old man's snow-white beard reached his waist, and he carried a three-edged steel whip behind him, and his vigor and blood were not inferior to that of a twenty-year-old boy. Just now, the old man just casually skimmed it, and Ximen Yuan felt that his whole person was seen through, and he had no choice but to dispel the idea of continuing to talk to Gu Qingcheng and retreat to the team of Ximen's family.
But so what! As long as Ximen Yuan nodded and transferred the masters from the Ximen family, even if Gu Qingcheng had these four master guards, he would still be able to capture them!
"Young master, don't be impatient, be slow. ”
Seeing the changes in Ximen Yuan, an old slave quietly stepped forward and rode a horse to follow Ximen Yuan about half a distance away, obviously the difference between master and servant.
"Uncle Chen, I naturally know that such a superb beauty is the only one I have seen in my life, and it naturally has to be cooked slowly to be the most delicious!"
Simon looked at the carriage in front of him, as if he could see through everything. Uncle Chen behind him also reminded him a little and then stopped talking, in his opinion, it was just a stunning woman, and the young master was just a whim, and he would abandon it after playing.
The four uniques of the rivers and lakes are just playthings in the eyes of the young master!
