The ancient family compound.

"Come, Master Zhoumen, I will toast you. Gu Mubai picked up the wine glass and said to Zhou Qixuan.

Zhou Qixuan also grinned, raised his wine glass very satisfied, and the three of them held the wine and food in the room, talking and laughing very harmoniously.

Since the end of the A Furong case, Yangzhou City has begun to calm down. And the story of the Rakshasa madman and Yi Xian gradually faded out of people's sight after being circulated for a few days.

This is the rivers and lakes, and something new happens every day. Some major events that happened in the past may be deeply remembered in people's minds, but when they are mentioned too much, people will get bored. The old does not go, the new does not come.

In this river and lake, there is never a shortage of newcomers and new wonders.

"Brother Mubai's face, now that the batch of goods from Zhaoyuemen has finally been thrown out, it also reassures me a lot. Zhou Qixuan drank it all and said with a hint of wine, "In the future, I will ask Brother Mubai to take care of this business." ”

"Whatever the Lord of Zhou said, everyone is blessed and enjoyed. Gu Mubai nodded and said.

Now the relationship between Zhaoyuemen and Yangzhou is mainly due to the opening of channels, and it will be a matter of reaching out to make money in the future. And after the incident at Yangzhou Wharf, no one must have dared to take the idea of the moon gate anymore.

After all, Xu Changfeng was with Zhan Liuli Du Yuchen that day, who knows if there is some tough backstage behind this Zhaoyue Gate? Because of this, the relationship between the three of them has also become a topic of conversation among those Jianghu knights after dinner.

"Brother Xu, what are you thinking?" Gu Mubai turned his head to look at Xu Changfeng and asked in a low voice.

From the beginning of the meal to the present, he and Zhou Qixuan have chatted back and forth, but the young man next to him, who belongs to the key person, has not said a word and is eating silently.

Xu Changfeng put down the dishes and chopsticks and said in a low voice: "We have been leaving Chang'an for a while, and now the goods have been thrown out, and the goods from Yangzhou have not been able to come for a while, so I want to return to Chang'an tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Zhou Qixuan's face couldn't help but retract, "It's true, I'm not at ease if no one looks at me in Chang'an for too long, with you back in town, there shouldn't be any big problems." ”

"You're not going back?" the young man asked in surprise as he heard this.

Zhou Qixuan said solemnly, "I've been thinking about the plan you said these days, Yangzhou is indeed a good place." Besides, my injuries have not healed now, and it is not good to suffer from this tiring journey, so it is better for me to live in Yangzhou first, and watch the market slowly develop the foundation first, which is also a good choice. ”

"If the Zhou Sect Master wants to stay in Yangzhou, why don't you live in my Gu family first?" Gu Mubai said, "Anyway, my Gu family has a room, and it is convenient for the Zhou Sect Master to live here." ”

Zhou Qixuan nodded simply this time, "Cheng, anyway, now that the channel has been opened, this transaction will be easy to do in the future, just arrange a reliable person to be responsible for getting better." Now that you're going back empty-handed, there shouldn't be any major problems. ”

"Brother Xu rest assured. Gu Mubai continued, "My Gu family will also arrange some guards to follow Brother Xu to Chang'an, and at that time, my Gu family will also arrange people to escort the darts together, which is our common interest, so naturally we have to guard together." ”

Xu Changfeng looked at Zhou Qixuan, of course he knew what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

What secrets did Zhou Qixuan have to hide from him? It was nothing more than those grievances with the imperial court. A few days ago, Zhou Qixuan was seriously injured, although he was reluctant to tell what happened, but the young man could guess that nine times out of ten it was the hands of people from the imperial court.

Now that he is in Yangzhou, if he returns to Chang'an, it will be easy for the court to start. Moreover, with the continuous development of Zhaoyuemen, Zhou Qixuan will sooner or later face the day when he will tear his face with the imperial court. Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions to lay a foundation in Yangzhou, and you will not be caught off guard by that time.

Now Zhou Qixuan is willing to take the initiative to propose this plan, which is also in line with his wishes.

"In that case, then I will leave for Chang'an tomorrow. Xu Changfeng nodded and said, looking at Gu Mubai, "Brother Gu, I don't know how long it will take to see each other this time, and when I return to Chang'an, I guess I will retreat." ”

"Brother Xu, even if you cultivate, I will take care of the Zhou Sect Master. Gu Mubai smiled and nodded, "Half a year later, the Stars Club, don't let us down." ”

......

In a courtyard somewhere in Yangzhou, the loquat trees are already full of lush foliage, and you can see that they are bearing fruits the size of a dragon's eye, and in a few months, you can eat fresh loquats. , the air is filled with an elegant fragrance of loquat.

"I don't know if I'll have a chance to eat loquat again with my old bones. It was as if there was an old man in a green shirt sitting quietly, his body was very thin, almost only skin and bones remained, but the whole person was still radiant and full of complexion.

"Grandpa, you're talking nonsense again. Zhan Liuli brought a bowl of chicken soup, handed it to the old man and said, "Grandpa, you can drink the freshly boiled chicken soup while it's hot." ”

The old man took the porcelain bowl from her hand, and did not rush to drink it, but looked at her with kind eyes, "Liuli, you have been in Yangzhou for more than half a month, right?" Now that Xu Changfeng's matter is solved, it is almost time to return to the sect, and Xueyu has sent me several times to urge you to go back. ”

When Zhan Liuli heard this, she couldn't help but lower her head and was silent.

The world wants to break its head, and it is impossible to think of it. Yi Xian, a great master who won the rivers and lakes a few decades ago, is not only Zhongli Xueyu's uncle, but also Zhan Liuli's grandfather.

It is precisely because of this that Zhan Liuli can worship directly under Zhongli's snow and rain after washing the marrow. Among them, there is still an ulterior secret.

Zhan Liuli's father was seriously injured and died in the rivers and lakes very early, and now Zhan Liuli's mother is taking care of the whole family. And Zhan Liuli, who has become Yixian's only granddaughter, has been very pampered since she was a child, and the relationship between her grandparents and grandchildren is also very good.

Yi Xian stared at Zhan Liuli, and suddenly whispered, "Liuli, what do you think of this Xu Changfeng?"

When Zhan Liuli heard this, she subconsciously trembled slightly, although her heart was like water, her face couldn't help but show a slight ruddyness, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Liuli is dedicated to the pursuit of swordsmanship, and there is no man who can make me look at it so far, and I don't have the heart to think about Hongchen for the time being. ”

Yi Xian shook his head helplessly, "You, you were led astray by the girl in Xueyu, if you don't marry again, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry in a while." When you were asked to study under Mr. Qin, didn't you also want you to get in touch with that Xu Changfeng? It's a pity that there is still some chance between you. ”

Speaking of this, Zhan Liuli's heart couldn't help but feel a wave of waves. She was naïve back then, and she said those naïve words, but now that she thinks about it, she is really naïve. Fortunately, Xu Changfeng was also a little self-aware, and he also regarded that sentence as a joke, otherwise it would really distress her a little now.

After all, she was preoccupied with pursuing cultivation at the moment, and she really didn't want to think about Hongchen.

Sometimes, if you stand too high, you will be tired.

In the eyes of the world, she is a genius, a fairy, and must maintain the temperament that she should have all the time. But in the end, she is just an ordinary girl, at most, she is a little more outstanding in cultivation and her mood is a little calmer.

"Grandpa, Liuli will return to the Sword Sect tomorrow. Zhan Liuli raised her head and winked at the old man in front of her, with reluctance in her eyes.

Yi Xian exhaled softly, a hint of regret in his eyes.

Yangzhou City slowly turned into darkness again, and Dingjiang Wangfu is still the most beautiful place in the whole city.

At this moment, Jiang Li was sitting in his boudoir, holding an embroidery needle in his hand, and he didn't know what painting he was embroidering.

"Miss, Xu Gongzi, he ...... Left Yangzhou. Her personal maid Xiaoling brought a cup of tea and whispered.

Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but stop the embroidery needle in his hand, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

"This stinky guy hasn't come to see me once after staying in Yangzhou for so many days, does he still have me as a fiancée in his eyes?" Jiang Li pouted and muttered.

The moment Xu Changfeng entered Yangzhou City, the Dingjiang Royal Mansion knew about it, but because of the relationship between the two, the Dingjiang Royal Mansion was only secretly observing, and did not directly intervene.

As for Jiang Li, he finally looked forward to Xu Changfeng coming to Yangzhou, but this young man never came to see him, and he never even passed the gate of Dingjiang Palace, did he really not plan to get this marriage in his heart?

He can lose face, but he is a weak woman, can he lose face?

It's not that she likes Xu Changfeng, it's just that now that things have developed like this, she can't accept it and have no choice.

She was also very distressed, and during this time, she often dreamed at night, dreaming that when she was a child, she secretly ran out of the palace to play with others.

In the eyes of others, she is a caged bird, noble, gorgeous, but not free.

In her life, she has already been arranged clearly, all she can do is look forward to it, and she expects that her future husband will be what she fantasizes about in her heart.

"If I had my own wishful husband, who would he be? Where is he now, and when will he come to me?"

Jiang Li opened the window, looked at the dark and starless night, and pondered.

In her dreams, there is always a silly figure that comes to mind from time to time, and she can't erase it.

"How could it be him?" Jiang Li smiled self-deprecatingly, "He may have forgotten about me now......"
