Pure mind is not hard to find.

From a long distance, I heard the chanting of the inner music of the Guannei and saw the incense and candles burning and curling with green smoke.

The smell of incense and the unique architectural form of the Taoist temple made Mu Sanqian feel very familiar.

If the young lady of a large family quietly had a tryst with someone in the Taoist temple, she would definitely not blatantly swagger through the market, and she would definitely choose a relatively secret place.

So Mu Sanqian entered the Taoist temple and went straight around the main hall, and in a remote place in the back garden, he really saw a young girl and a middle-aged man sitting opposite each other in the pavilion, the two seemed to talk very happily, and from time to time there would be a crisp laughter like a silver bell.

The two most suspicious people, but how to determine their identities made Mu Sanqian difficult, so he couldn't just walk over and ask if it was Shi Xiaomei, right?

"Kogi-sama?"

Mu Sanqian was still hesitating how to go over and talk so as not to appear deliberate, but suddenly heard someone call "Lord Xiaomu".

"Shi Quan?"

Mu Sanqian came back to his senses and found that it was Shi Quan.

Shi Quan concealed that Shi Xiaomei had taken a great risk by taking Shi Xiaomei out, and when he was guarding outside the Taoist temple, he happened to find the herald Xiao Mu, only to see him hurriedly enter the Qingxin Temple, Shi Quan was worried that something would go wrong and followed behind, and he never thought that Lord Xiao Mu went straight to the back garden of the Taoist temple, and stopped when he saw his sister and Tang Qing.

Although Mu Sanqian is an irrelevant outsider, no one knows whether he has anything to do with the Tang family now.

Shi Quan gritted his teeth and stepped forward, thinking that even if he couldn't stop it, it would be good to delay it for a while.

"Lord Xiaomu is here to worship incense?"

"Incense?"

Mu Sanqian's mind was extremely fast, and he stopped him as soon as he found Shiquan in the back garden, and at this time, he would not believe it if he said that he had nothing to kill Mu Sanqian.

"Exactly, by the way, find a friend. ”

Mu Sanqian didn't want to question him face-to-face, so he planned to go over casually.

"Lord Xiaomu is here to find a friend? Shi is more familiar with Xiangyang than adults, I don't know if I can help one or two?"

Shi Quan said that he would help, but he deliberately raised his voice, and intentionally or unintentionally blocked Mu Sanqian.

"Brother Shi, it's not this kind of help to help find someone. ”

Seeing that Shi Quan was going to block himself no matter what the consequences, Mu Sanqian was not in a hurry, although he only looked at it from afar, but the identity of that girl was undoubtedly related to the Shi family.

But sitting opposite that girl, who can still take advantage of Old Man Ning, which way of immortal?

Shi didn't dare. ”

Seeing that Mu Sanqian's face was gloomy, Shi Quan hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized, but at the same time, his whole body was still straight in front of Mu Sanqian.

If the person Shi Quan tried his best to protect was Shi Xiaomei, then the person who met Shi Xiaomei was even more important.

Mu Sanqian Qi machine fluttered and raised his sleeves lightly, and fanned in front of Shi Quan like this, Shi Quan's body was suddenly surrounded by a force, and he staggered a few steps to the side when he was unstable!

"I don't see where you dare. ”

Brushing away the stone power, Mu Sanqian looked at the pavilion again, but it was already empty.

was disturbed by Shi Quan, Mu Sanqian was naturally displeased, and reincarnated and walked out with a cold snort.

"Send your lord!"

Shi Quan's hands clenched his fists never let go, Mu Sanqian turned to leave, and Shi Quan bent his waist lower.

At this moment, all the contempt and contempt for Mu Sanqian before disappeared in an instant. The reason why Zuo Qiu Ming had such an almost flattering performance when he was in Hanshui Tower was not because he was afraid of the powerful, but because this Xiaomu Lord was really terrifying, which was simply unfathomable.

Thinking about it, the four families of Shizuo Gutang have occupied the top few places in Xiangyang for many years, and they have spared no effort in the cultivation of the younger generations, but there are only a few people who can get their hands on it so far, and there are no people who can compare with the herald Xiaomu!

But why was Shi Xiaomei targeted by such a character?

If it is related to the Tang family, how could the fourth master Tang Qing also avoid Lord Xiaomu?

Shi Quan kept thinking along the way, but he found nothing.

"Brother Quan?"

"Oh, little sister. ”

Shi Quan was completely out of the world because of this incident, and he was shocked by Mu Sanqian's qi engine, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was woken up by Shi Xiaomei's words in front of his carriage.

"Go home. ”

"Well, go home. ”

The two got into the carriage, and Shi Quan noticed that the little sister who had met Tang Qing had a smile on her face all the time, which was a joy that came from the bottom of her heart.

"What did Fourth Master Tang tell you, I see that you are happy. ”

"Nothing. ”

Shi Xiaomei was still smiling brightly.

The fourth master of the Tang family is a very special person to Shi Xiaomei, since he was a child, he always said that he was his mother's bosom friend, but his mother always refused to see him, but he couldn't help but carefully inquire from her mouth, asking how Uncle Tang Qing's complexion, body, and spirit were.

Friends who care about each other but refuse to meet, as they grow up, Shi Xiaomei can faintly guess some.

After her father's death, Shi Xiaomei regarded Tang Qing, who loved her in every way, as her father.

Earlier in the Taoist temple, Tang Qing asked about the marriage between Shi Xiaomei and Zuo Qiu Ming.

"Zuo Qiu Ming is good, but when you get married, you should always find someone you really love, Zuo Qiu Ming is obviously not. ”

Shi Xiaomei did not reserve it in front of Tang Qing.

"Then decide according to your own wishes, no matter what, Uncle Tangqing will support you. ”

With Tang Qing's words, Shi Xiaomei seems to have the biggest support in the world, with Uncle Tang Qing here, no one can force what she is unwilling to do.

Shi Xiaomei was in the carriage window, thinking of Uncle Tang Qing's determined appearance, and felt very warm in her heart.

What she didn't notice was that Shi Quan, who was sitting far away, was looking at herself in a trance, and his iceberg-like face actually showed a slight smile.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does the Shi family have any other granddaughters?

Mu Sanqian left the back garden and kept thinking about whether to find someone to inquire, so that he could determine whether it was Shi Xiaomei who came to Qingxinguan today.

But after thinking about it, Shi Xiaomei only played the role of a bargaining chip in this marriage after all, even if Shi Xiaomei was replaced by Shi Xiaozhu and Shi Xiaohua, the result was the same.

Mu Sanqian was a little annoyed again, and it seemed that he was really stunned by the casting of the Natal Sword. At the beginning, I secretly speculated whether this matter would have something to do with the Tang family in the end, if this was the case, I could use the identity of the herald to be a good person, and use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Tang family to forge a natal sword for themselves.

was really carried away, the other three families in Xiangyang and the Tang family were not on the same level after all.

No matter how the three families of Zuo Gushi fight, the Tang family can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, and he is happy to put the good thing of watching the fire from the other side on Mu Sanqian.

Risking one's life for something that has nothing to do with one's own interests is something that a fool would do.

Feeling depressed, Mu Sanqian unknowingly walked all the way to the Hanshui River.

Rubbing his cheeks vigorously and exhaling a few mouthfuls of hot air emitting white mist, Mu Sanqian realized that before he knew it, a little snow flakes had fallen from the sky.

It's starting to snow.

Mu Sanqian's eyes were a little sour, but he still raised his head to look at the gradually dim sky, looking at the countless snow petals falling from thousands of miles in the sky.

"Didn't Lord Kogi come out with an umbrella?"

An oil-paper umbrella painted with Jiangnan landscape paintings suddenly covered Mu Sanqian's sight, and when he turned around, it was actually the fourth master of the Tang family, and he was only one step away from knowing his fate.

"Mr. Tangqing?"

Mu Sanqian looked at Tang Qing, who appeared beside him at some point, and was a little stunned.

"Don't blame Shi Quan for stopping you in the Pure Heart View. ”

"You're just in the audience?"

Seeing Tang Qing wearing a plain shirt with a sword hanging from his waist, the middle-aged man who was sitting opposite Miss Shi in the Qingxin Concept was dressed like this, Tang Qing bluntly said that he wanted Mu Sanqian not to blame Tang Qing, and even directly admitted this.

The marriage of the two families of Shizuo is really involved with the Tang family!

"Shi Xiaomei's identity is special, and Shi Quan is doing this to protect her. ”

Tang Qing explained to Mu Sanqian again.

"Although Lord Xiao Mu didn't say anything to me and my second brother, I think that Lord Xiao Mu left Xishu and deliberately took the waterway to Xiangyang, so he should have something to ask my Tang family. And my Tang family has nothing but forging swords, so I guess Lord Xiaomu wants to ask my Tang family to help forge a blade, am I guessing wrong?"

"That's true, the Tang family's swordsmanship is famous, since I took the initiative to find the door, this is the most reasonable explanation. ”

Tang Qing, as an elder, actually held an umbrella for Mu Sanqian, and after making a gesture of please, the two walked side by side along the river bank and chatted.

"I'm a little curious why the eldest brother didn't agree to Kogi-sama's request. ”

"Maybe I'm more demanding. ”

Mu Sanqian laughed helplessly.

"Actually, Kogi-sama doesn't need too many chips. ”

Mu Sanqian had nothing to do with the local affairs of Xiangyang, but he showed great interest in the marriage of the two Shi Zuo families, and the only explanation was that he wanted to get something from it as a bargaining chip with the Tang family.

"Sword forging is still a business after all, as long as the price is right, there is no saying that you don't sell things when you cover them. ”

"I agree with Mr. Tang Qing, but I also have my own difficulties. ”

Logically speaking, this is true, but what Mu Sanqian wants is a natal sword, and he is a prince of the emperor who broke the country, and he really can't afford to pay a few taels of silver.

"If Lord-chan's difficulty refers to silver, although I am not skilled in forging swords, I am willing to exert some strength for Lord-sama Kogi. ”

Tang Qing's sincere words did not seem to be fake, but Mu Sanqian began to wonder in his heart, Tang Qing did not hesitate to forge a sword for himself to protect Shi Xiaomei, what is their relationship?

"I want Tang Mansion to help me forge a natal sword, Mr. Tang Qing, can you help me with this?"

Mu Sanqian stopped his steps and said softly.
