In the third year of Tianbao (744), the February day in Luyang was still as quiet as before, the leaves were new and green, the buds were new, a young man sat next to the tree on the hill, playing the flute leisurely, and the soothing flute sound drifted to all directions with the wind.

"Ye Langjun, why did you run so far," a servant panted up the hillside, as the sound of the flute gradually stopped, the young man turned his head to look at the servant, his delicate appearance could not hide his loneliness, the two sword eyebrows showed heroism, and even his eyes were so clear. The servant breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ye Langjun, Xue Lang has already commanded, you can't run so far." "Yes!" replied the boy coldly, and played the flute alone, his ponytail hair fluttering freely with the white robe.

At this moment, the two girls were slowly walking along the mountain road to the top of the mountain, and the two girls looked like the Nine Heavens Fairy descending to the earth, and up close, they looked more like the Guanghan Fairy, Gu shot the gods. The height of the two is almost the same, one is wrapped in light purple clothes, the white light gauze on the body moves lightly, fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon, the white gauze and green silk are scattered with the wind, and the dignified and elegant temperament is fully revealed. The other is dressed in a pale pink gauze dress, with willow eyebrows and a small mouth, which looks particularly dexterous and cute under the light makeup, and his smart eyes hide a little naughty. The one with this fairy posture is Xue Lisheng, the second daughter of Xue Dingtian, the head of the Xue family, and Xue Liyu, the third daughter.

"The flute sound with the wind is still so beautiful. Xue Lisheng looked towards the top of the mountain with envy, "The flute of the weeds is really good, it's just ......" Xue Liyu gradually whispered, "Just what?" Xue Lisheng looked at her curiously, Xue Liyu pouted, and complained: "It's just that he is too indifferent." Xue Lisheng smiled all the time, and said, "Hey, you have a lot of contact with him, why do you call him weed?" Xue Liyu suddenly had a red face, and said: "Oh! It's just a title! Xue Lisheng reached out and touched her head, smiling awkwardly.

Talking and laughing, the girls climbed to the top of the mountain, and stood behind the servant quietly to watch the young man play the flute, the servant heard the footsteps and looked back, and saw the two girls standing behind him, so shocked that he couldn't help but take a step back, his body couldn't stop shaking, and said tremblingly: "Second lady, third lady, it's too dangerous for you to come here alone, if there is any mistake, the slave can't afford it!" Seeing this, Xue Lisheng hurriedly explained: "Oh! No, my father asked us to come." Xue Liyu also responded: "Yes, my father asked Brother Zizhuo to take us to look for weeds." The sound of the flute stopped suddenly, and the young man got up, his body of about eight feet was even thinner against the white cloth robe, and this young man was Ye Suifeng.

"Weeds ......" Xue Mayfeather waved her hand, looking at the young man with expectant eyes, the young man ignored it, and walked straight past the servant to the two girls, Xue Mayyu was overjoyed to see the young man coming, Xue Mayyu looked at Xue Mayfeather, and said to Ye Suifeng who came over: "With the wind, Brother Zhang Zizhuo is below, let's go back together." Ye Suifeng didn't pay attention to it, passed by Xue Yuyu, and went down the mountain.

"Hey, hey, weeds, stinky weeds...."Xue Liyu waved her arm vigorously, wanting to rush over, but Xue Lisheng hurriedly stopped her: "Hey, Hey, Mayfly! Don't go over, you don't know what he looks like, it's useless for you to go over!" "Hmph!" Xue Mayfeather shook her arm heavily and sat on the stone next to her.

Ye Suifeng walked down the mountain road and saw a group of people waiting at the bottom of the mountain, and the sturdy young man riding a horse in front of him was Zhang Zizhuo, Zhang Zizhuo saw Ye Suifeng coming down, and shouted to him enthusiastically: "Brother Ye, Brother Ye! I haven't seen you for a long time." Dismounted and opened his arms to hug Ye Suifeng, Ye Suifeng turned sideways, avoided Zhang Zizhuo's embrace, boarded the carriage, and the servant accompanying Zhang Zizhuo saw Zhang's embarrassment and immediately ran over: "Zhang Langjun, this ......" Zhang Zizhuo put down his arm, waved his hand to the servant, and said: "It's okay, just get used to it." Turning back to Ye Suifeng in the carriage, he asked, "Hey, Brother Ye, where is Xue Lisheng, Xue Yuyu?" Ye Suifeng fiddled with the flute in his hand and said, "In the back." ”

After a while, the sisters and the servant walked down the mountain, only to see Xue Lisheng in pink gauze walking in front of him angrily, and Xue Lisheng in purple and the servant following closely behind. "Sister Mayfly!" Zhang Zizhuo waved to Xue Mayfeather, but Xue Mayyu ignored it and walked into another carriage quickly, "Brother Zizhuo." Xue Lisheng, who was following behind, hurriedly replied, and then got into Xue Liyu's carriage.

In the hall of Xue Mansion in Luyang, five people were discussing, and the person sitting in the middle of the hall was Xue Dingtian, the owner of Xue Mansion, and on both sides were Xue Dingtian's second uncle Xue Yuhua and third uncle Xue Yunhua, as well as Xue Dingtian's brother Xue Yingtian and Xue Dingtian's brother Xue Yi.

"How is the Ye family now?" asked Xue Yuhua on the side. "I bought the Ye family's land, cleaned it up, kept the Ye family's ancestral hall, and the rest was temporarily idle. Xue Dingtian replied. Xue Yunhua said: "Second brother, you won't come back once in a few years, and you can't keep up with the news." Xue Yuhua continued: "Alas, I wanted to go to Chang'an, but I met Xiangma halfway, although it was not strong, but there were many people, so I had to drop the package and get out, and I had to come back for a trip, then again, I didn't have time to ask last time I came back, how could the Ye family suffer this misfortune?" Xue Yunhua replied: "Maybe it's someone who offended in Taiyuan!" Xue Yunhua shook his head slightly, Xue Yuhua understood what he meant, and didn't ask again.

"Dingtian, does 'Mozhu' really want to return it to the Ye family?" Xue Yingtian asked. Xue Dingtian frowned and said, "This is the Ye family's thing, how can we keep it for ourselves." ”。 Xue Yi on the other side said: "Brother Dingtian, you also know its value, if the Xue family gets it, the Xue family can ......" "Presumptuous!" Xue Dingtian slapped the table fiercely, and scolded Xue Yi: "You are the head of the family, I am the head of the family!" "Dingtian, don't be angry!" Xue Yunhua hurriedly stopped Xue Dingtian, and Xue Dingtian continued: "It is the principle of heaven that if you have kindness, you must repay it, even if I agree, the ancestors and ancestors will not agree." "You can't do it alone. Xue Yingtian took the case. Frightened the three people around him, Xue Dingtian kept his face calm and tried to suppress his anger, but his body still trembled unconsciously.

Everyone present had been observing Xue Dingtian's movements, for fear of being in the same room, Xue Yunhua took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "Family master, I have an idea, I don't know if to talk about it?" Xue Dingtian glanced at Xue Yunhua and nodded. The old man thought it was better to leave this matter to Ye Suifeng himself. "How can you leave it to him for his own law?" asked Xue Yuhua on the other side. "It's better for us to choose a good sword first, put it in front of Ye Suifeng together with the'Mozhu', and then ask him to choose one, although the 'Mozhu' is good, but the sword is not out of the sheath, and the momentum is slightly inferior, the old man has a sword, which is stronger than the 'Mozhu'. I don't know what to think of at home. "No!" Xue Yingtian directly came out to object: "Do you think that kid is stupid, don't you want the ancestral things of your own family?" Xue Yunhua got up and said: "Yingtian, don't be anxious, if a person only thinks about avenging the family, which one do you think he will choose?" At this time, Xue Dingtian patted the chair and said to the people present: "Yes, according to the meaning of the second uncle, you can just explore Suifeng's thoughts, if he chooses 'Mozhu', it means that he is also a person of great affection, like this" Mo Zhu 'Give it to him, I can rest assured, if you don't choose, you should keep it for the Ye family. ”

In the middle of the night, Zhang Zizhuo and his party arrived at Xue's mansion, Ye Suifeng was also taken to the lobby by the servants, and the people in the lobby also stopped talking, Xue Dingtian said: "Everyone go down first, I want to say a few words to Feng'er alone, and I will send someone to inform you as a result." "No!" Xue Yingtian directly denied Xue Dingtian's decision, "You!" Before Xue Dingtian finished speaking, Xue Yunhua stopped him and said, "Dingtian, the old man thinks that what Yingtian said is right, we all want to watch the boy's performance." Everyone agreed. Ye Suifeng was listening to the clouds and fog next to him, Xue Dingtian thought for a moment and said, "En... Let's do it, Feng'er, you go back first. After Ye returned with the wind, everyone went to get the sword.

When the night sank, the Xue Mansion was brightly lit. At this time, a servant found Ye Suifeng, and as soon as the servant entered the room, he whispered: "Ye Langjun, because of the regulations, it is inconvenient for the old slave to explain, please be sure to read them in turn." After speaking, the servant handed over the two pieces of paper to Ye Suifeng in turn and left, at this time Ye Suifeng opened a piece of paper with doubts, which was the rules for choosing a sword, after reading it, Ye Suifeng understood what happened in the afternoon, and Ye Suifeng then opened another one: Feng'er, there is another secret in the matter of choosing a sword, I hope you can listen to the old man's advice, and I will tell you about the murderer of the Ye family afterwards. Signed: Xue Yingtian. "Murderer ......" Ye Suifeng clenched his fists, in the past few years, Ye Suifeng has been looking for the murderer of his clan, but to no avail. Ye Suifeng calmed down and thought: He is really cunning! Listening to him? It shouldn't be that simple.

At this time, on the other side of the Xue Mansion, Xue Lisheng knocked on the door of Xue Liyu's boudoir, "Ah Mei, are you still angry?" Xue Lisheng entered the door and asked. "It's been a long time coming, what's wrong? Xue Yuyu took Xue Lisheng to the bed and sat down. Xue Lisheng said: "Mayfly Feather, do you know? It's not peaceful now, I always hear someone sighing in my dreams these days, and I can't help but worry in my heart. Xue Yuyu took Xue Lisheng's hand and comforted: "Sister, don't be afraid, aren't there still fathers!" "Alas...... I don't know how the eldest sister is doing in Taiyuan. Xue Lisheng said worriedly. "Oh, don't worry, big sister, Taiyuan is a good place, that place is much better than ours. And that Chang'an, do you know, I heard that Chang'an is full of oil and water, and people in that place don't worry about food and clothing, I want to go to Chang'an. The more Xue Yuyu spoke, the more energetic he became. Xue Lisheng looked at the excited Xue Liyu, frowned, and said, "However, I heard that Taiyuan is not peaceful. "Oh, it's okay, if anyone messes up, then Di Liang Gong will be reincarnated and sent to prison." Xue Lisheng looked at Xue Liyu and smiled slightly.
