In a small forest not far from Hui Yan Pavilion, there is a two-story chic building, which is Han Ya's residence. The exterior of the small building is not very ornately decorated, and the entire exterior wall presents a pale cyan color. The small gardens on the outskirts are filled with all kinds of flowers and plants suitable for growing in the northern lands, from the humble morning glory to the daisy calla lily. The sound of small bamboo flowing water and wind chimes is always playing the notes, adding a bit of melody to this paradise-like purity. Just like the name of its owner, it is taken with an elegant meaning.

But no matter how crisp the sound of the wind chimes is, it is still slightly inferior to the sound of silk and bamboo by the window on the second floor.

At this moment, there is a rare beauty sitting by the window on the second floor, with jade-like green fingers caressing the guqin on the table, and the repertoire is the famous work of the Warring States Period. This is the same rare song, out of the tune itself, the person who plays it also adds a bit of different charm to it.

There are also people sitting on the two chairs in the wing, one old and one young, the old one is naturally Master Ye, and the less one is Mu Li, and the two of them quietly listened to Han Ya caressing the qin. Master Ye closed his eyes, held a wine glass in his hand, and secretly took two sips when listening to the piano. Mu Li stared at others with wide eyes, he didn't understand the rhythm at all, but he could still feel that it sounded good.

"Okay, good!" After Han Ya finished playing, he applauded vigorously, looking very excited, and the smile on his mouth couldn't be closed, although many times even he didn't know why he could always laugh out loud for no reason.

"My little sister is ugly. ”

Three days had passed since that conflict, and on this day, Han Ya specially invited the master and apprentice to his residence to entertain them.

Han Ya is dressed very casually today, a light blue loose robe still can't hide her beautiful figure, her long hair is only easily bound together by a plain ribbon, and her delicate face is extremely pretty, even if she doesn't apply powder, it doesn't affect her beauty at all, she is a natural beauty, and she doesn't need too much fat powder to embellish it.

When Mu Li just walked into the small residence, Han Ya stood alone outside the door waiting for them, and for a few seconds he was even a little carried away, because the beauty in front of him was simply perfectly integrated with the scenery behind him, like a picture scroll that he would never want to take off.

"I respect my brother for this glass of wine, if it wasn't for my brother's help that day, my life might not have been saved. Han Ya raised his glass, then raised his head and drank it all.

"Sister is too polite, this is all as it should be. Mu Li also drank the wine in the cup.

A delicate little maid standing at the table then filled Han Ya with another glass, "I salute my brother again, the grace of saving my life cannot be repaid, and a thousand words are all in this glass of wine." ”

"Sister has an injury or don't drink it, I understand your kindness. Han Ya still wanted to have a drink, but Mu Li grabbed her snow-white wrist, Han Ya still has no virgin marriage, and she usually has very little direct contact with men, except for her stepfather, Mu Li is the first person to hold her wrist like this, and her pretty face can't help but blush.

"My brother is really careful, the injuries on my body are no longer tight, and a glass of wine is nothing. Han Yaying smiled and withdrew her hand politely.

"That's it, sister, I'll drink this glass of wine for you, if you really want to respect, you should still give my master a drink, if it weren't for him, we might not be able to sit here now." ”

"It's okay," Han Ya handed the wine glass in his hand to Mu Li, Mu Li drank the two glasses of wine at the same time, and returned the quilt to Han Ya.

Han Ya thought for a moment, but didn't change the cup again, and the maid poured her another glass. Mu Li didn't notice that when he handed back the cup, Han Ya was aiming at the place where he had just stretched out his mouth.

"This cup is to the old man, congratulations on teaching such a good apprentice. Han Ya didn't turn the cup again, and drank the glass of wine directly.

"Acting chivalrous and righteous is the duty of those who practice martial arts, Han Yatou doesn't need to worry too much, this stinky boy is still far away. Master Ye said and drank this cup as well.

This time, Mu Li just listened to the master silently, and didn't want to refute it anymore, what the master said was very right, he was indeed far away, no matter what aspect it was. After this time, he also added a little more respect to this old man who was usually raunchy, if it weren't for him, he might have been chopped into mash by now.

There is one of the eighteen people they talked about before who has never appeared, this person is arranged not far away to meet the hundred elite secret sentinels lurking in the forest, originally the appearance of Song Gang and others has already distracted everyone's attention, no one will take into account that there will be other killing moves later, just after Han Ya was seriously injured by Xie Long, Master Ye let go and let Mu Li rush forward, on the one hand, these two people are enough to contain these people, so that they have no time to take care of others, with Mu Li's skills, it is no problem at all to suppress Song Gang and others。 And Master took advantage of this time to find the ambush soldier hiding in the shadows, he was also attracted by Mu Li, and he didn't expect Master Ye to come behind him at all. took out the words in his mouth, and then lit all the hundred and nine-door assassins lurking in the forest to sleep, which saved Mu Li's worries, and it was also the most important reason why Song Gang went crazy and didn't see anyone coming. There were a hundred well-trained killers, but they didn't even see Master Ye's face.

Mu Li also had to sigh at this teacher's mind and martial arts, he thought that Master Ye was unwilling to meddle in his own affairs so he secretly ran away, but in fact, he gave Mu Li the opportunity to be in the limelight, but he cleared the way for him behind Mu Li.

Mu Li just wanted to take the wine jug, but the little maid poured it for him first. "I'll just do it myself. ”

"No, no, this is originally the work of a slave, so let me serve my son. ”

This little girl smiled very sweetly, Mu Li could only nod embarrassedly, Mu Li seemed to see the shadow of Xiaohe from her.

"I toast you too. ”

"Silly boy. Mu Li raised his cup towards the master, although the two have lived together for more than ten years, except for the New Year's holidays, there are really not many times like him to toast. Master Ye snorted twice, and the two of them drank the wine in their cups together, and then turned their heads to Han Ya. "You've lived here all these years?"

"It's me and Ling'er, and it's been thanks to her for the past few years. "Ling'er is naturally the delicate maid.

"That's more than enough for a small building like this. ”

"If the house is big and people are not satisfied, it will seem empty and lonely. ”

"That's right, tight. It's really chic, much stronger than the big bricks and tiles outside, and these calligraphy and paintings are also written by yourself, good craftsmanship. "When Master Ye came, he took a closer look at this small building, and it was rare to see those antique jade and other playthings, most of them were some calligraphy and paintings and silk and bamboo orchestras. This is especially true of this wing, the whole wing room is decorated with the guqin as the center, in addition to the four treasures of the study incense stone carving, the most eye-catching is the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, especially the one in the middle, this painting is the most exquisitely framed, on it is painted a handsome middle-aged man with a long beard, and a large wide knife on his back.

The old man smiled, it was just a small fight, and he couldn't go to the hall of elegance. ”

"It may not all be painted by Sister Han, but it may also be from a famous artist. Mu Li said.

"Keep your eyes open and take a good look at the inscription underneath, oh, I've almost forgotten, you don't know a few words. ”

However, all famous painters are accustomed to imprinting their own engraving seals in an inconspicuous position on the painting, in fact, in order to tell other people who look at the painting that this painting is painted by Lao Tzu, and then write their own names not far from the engraved seal. There is indeed an identical name at the bottom left of each calligraphy and painting, but there is no engraved seal, and the name is only two short words, Han Ya.

"Of course I recognize the words, but I don't react. Mu Li's face, who seemed to have been asked about the sore spot, then changed color, and it was as red as a pile of burning firewood. "Then who is this middle-aged man, your father? To avoid embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, this is my father-in-law. Han Ya left the banquet and walked to the painting, the emotion in her peach blossom eyes seemed to bring her back to her childhood.

If you want to talk about the few heroes and heroes in the Tai'an area in the past twenty years, Han Fei, the previous master of the Tianxing Gang, is definitely one of them. Han Fei was also a well-known sixth-level Qi Master-level master back then, and he swept all directions with a golden-backed broadsword. It was under his leadership that the originally weak Celestial Star Gang gradually became a big gang that could compete with the Nine Gates. The story of Han Fei hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and the story of porridge helping the poor and poor people was also a topic of conversation among the people of Taishan, and most of the people and gangs at that time even supported Han Fei to become the leader of the gang in the Tai'an area. But just when the power of the Star Gang was in full swing, a shocking spark shattered on the land of Mount Tai.

Han Fei, the leader of the Celestial Star Gang, was ambushed by a group of gangsters on the way back from a field escort, and all the accompanying gangsters were killed, Han Fei broke out of the encirclement but was also seriously injured, and died soon after, according to Han Fei's last dictation before his death, the person who beat him to a serious injury was a master who was inseparable from him. Normal people can think that this is by no means something that ordinary thieves can do, it must be a conspiracy that has been rigorously planned. At that time, everyone pointed the finger at Yuan Wuzhi, the master of the Nine Gates, it was no secret that the two had always been at odds, and looking at the entire Tai'an, there were very few people who could compete with Han Fei except Yuan Wuzhi. As soon as Han Fei died, there were even fewer people competing with Yuan Wuzhi for the leader of the Tai'an Gang. But at that time, there were many people who could prove that Yuan Wuzhi was attending the biennial gang meeting in the Jinan Daimyo Mansion hundreds of miles away, and Yuan Wuzhi himself did not explain much about this matter. He even made a special trip to attend Han Fei's memorial service. Since then, this has become an unsolved case that has not been concluded for a long time, and in the end, it was Han Fei's brother Han Qianye who temporarily took the position of the head of the door, and stabilized the morale of the army at the critical moment, so as not to cause a catastrophe.

"I have always heard about the prestige of the Han gang leader, but it's a pity that my brother was born late and couldn't see the demeanor of the Han gang leader in his lifetime. Mu Li also came to the painting and bowed deeply.

"Brother Mu is very talented and intelligent, and he will definitely surpass my stepfather's achievements in a few years. If he leaves five years late, he will definitely be able to become a confidant with his younger brother. ”

After the banquet, Mu Li ran to the back garden to play alone, Han Ya was walking with Master Ye, and the two walked and came to an orchard, at this point, there were already many women with their children to deliver food to the fruit farmers in the garden, and the children of poor families could not afford to go to school, so they had to learn to work as adults in the family when they were very young. Despite the hard work, the family is always full of warmth when they get together. All the fruit farmers and peasant women would also bow their heads to greet Han Ya after seeing her, and Han Ya also smiled back, and from time to time she would pinch the face of the child who was close to her, which was very different from the noble and cold in the past.

There is a big sign outside the orchard, on which are written in block letters four big characters of fairness and justice, Han Family Manor. This is also the Han family's property, because when she was a child, Han Ya liked to go to the fruit trees to pick fruits and play, so Han Fei specially bought it and gave it to her.

"The people here look very fond of you, you must be very nice to them. Master Ye said.

"No, the rural people are simple and know how to be content, as long as they are given a few points of land interest, they will be grateful to Dade for doubling the reward for you. ”

"You've added a smile to their faces, and it's a lot more than donating money, which is amazing. ”

"How can it be as great as you say," Han Ya smiled bitterly, "It's just that there is no shortage of this little bit of loose money, in this case, it is better to give it to those who need it, why not do it." ”

"The truth is such a truth, everyone understands it, but there are not many people who can really let go, aren't the nine doors rich enough, and they are still openly and secretly expropriating. Master Ye stroked his pale beard and said meaningfully.

"You always brought me here, not just to compliment me. ”

"Haha, what a clever girl, let me ask again, do you have something to say to me, or did I come here uninvited to accompany a beauty like you, if nothing happened that day, we wouldn't be here to see the orchard like we are now, all this is a bit of a coincidence. ”

"I don't understand a little, what your old man said is really unfathomable. ”

"I'm not going to beat around the bush, let's just open the skylight and talk brightly. Actually, even if I'm leaving, you're sure you'll leave me behind, and find a place to talk to my old bones, I'm right. On the day of returning to the Wild Goose Pavilion, when you came over, it was to deliberately reveal to us the news that something big might happen that day, with that kid's temper, even if I sit idly by and ignore it, he will definitely not ignore it, in fact, from the very beginning, you knew that someone would come to find trouble that day, and you also hoped that we could take action to deter these people, let them know that you have a solid backer, and you are not to be bullied, am I right. ”

"Hehe, why are you so sure, all this seems to be just speculation, and there is no real evidence. ”

"It's indeed speculation, but you obviously knew that something was going to happen that day, but you still didn't coax the guests in advance, and you didn't even close the door and set up an ambush in advance, although you don't have the right to use the people of the Celestial Star Gang, but there are many people who are willing to work for you, you just don't want those people to know that you are already wary, so as not to startle the snake, because this matter is really important. You're a good girl, and you can treat a group of workers who have never lived with you so well, and it's impossible to watch the guests die, if my guess is right... This should have something to do with the stolen tribute, and it is not small. ”

“...... , I really can't hide anything from you, I really envy Brother Mu more and more, what kind of blessing did he accumulate to meet a master like you. Han Ya's words were not false, he had been hoping for such a teacher for a long time.

"It's just that people are old and have accumulated a little more wisdom, but that kid looks dull but does have his own advantages. Can you tell me, the hidden story behind this incident, that kid will definitely take care of this matter to the end, and you can be considered to have achieved your goal. For you, and for my stupid apprentice, I hope you can tell the truth about what happened. ”

“...... , Okay, I'm not going to help you with it, has the old man ever heard of such a thing as a blue crystal? ”
