Sixteen years of scenery have not changed much in Xiangyang City, the Hanshui River is still the Hanshui River, and the bluestone wall is still standing at the wind and rain.

But in the past 16 years, how many funerals have mourned and cried for people to grow old, and the geometric new babies have fallen to the ground.

Sixteen years ago, Su Mei finally couldn't resist the pressure of the family, and gave up the fourth master of the Tang family, who gave up her childhood sweetheart, and married the Shi family Shi, who was married to her fingertips.

Sixteen years ago, Tangqing was young and vigorous, and a green steel made a big fuss about the wedding of the Shi family, which turned the world upside down, but in the end, it was Su Mei's tearful determination.

I have married the Shi family today, and from today I will do my duty as a wife, Mr. Tang, please respect yourself!

Su Mei Yin red dress is added, her face is like rice paper, her lips are red like blood, and every word she says makes Tang Qing desperate.

Shi Nan was naturally happy, he had liked the beautiful and decent Su Mei since he was ignorant, but he knew that Su Mei liked Tang Qing.

Indeed, one is a cultivation genius, and the other is a mediocre child of the world, compared with Tang Qing's unparalleled talent, the family business accumulated by his generation of sword forging is just a good-looking foil.

But Su Mei's final choice is still Shi Nan who is married in the belly, how can this make him not happy? Even if Shi Nan understands that it is difficult for him to get Su Mei's heart, but this, what?

The Shi family is a big family in Xiangyang, how can they be willing to let a Tang Qing who has not yet achieved the realm of cultivation be disgraced?

In the face of the thunderous anger of the Shi family, it was Tang Lu who apologized to the Shi family as the patriarch and made amends in every possible way, and finally took away Tang Qing, who had lost his mind, in the ridicule of everyone.

In the past sixteen years, Tang Lu gradually stopped asking about the world, and finally became a big hide, and no one thought about it again.

In the past sixteen years, Li Tangqing has moved forward step by step, and has achieved the realm of a half-step master on the way to practice.

Sixteen years is enough time for too many things to happen in the weak human race, the huge world.

Tang Qing was willing to talk to Mu Sanqian about the past, and Mu Sanqian listened carefully, although he had not experienced it, he felt embarrassed.

However, Shaoguang is fleeting, and things are not in people.

At this moment, Tang Qing talked about those back then in a calm, even indifferent tone, and he was more like a bystander, rather than the infatuated man who was angry and became a red face back then.

Only from some faint flows under his eyes can we guess the state of mind of this man then and now.

"Su Mei was pregnant when she married Shi Nan, but no one knew about it except herself. ”

When it became clear that she was pregnant, the Shi family noticed that the time was not right, and from then on, the Shi family snubbed Su Mei. But Shi Nan is still good, he always does everything possible to maintain Su Mei, who has become his wife. During that time, Su Mei had a good life, until Shi Nan died of illness, and the situation between Su Mei and Shi Xiaomei was not very good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it took a sharp turn for the worse. And I, on the other hand, have been out of the way, and I owe a lot to them. ”

"Shi Xiaomei is my daughter, and only a few people know about this even in the Shi family. The Shi family can endure this breath all the time, and I think the reason is not difficult to guess with the ingenuity of Lord Xiaomu. ”

"It's a shame, especially for the elderly. And then there is the scruple of the Tang family, to be precise, scruples about you, a master who can't even be seen by me, and nothing is easy to mess with. Besides, there should be some thoughts about using it to restrain you and the Tang family, if Shi Xiaomei is really the daughter of Mr. ”

"That's right. If the Tang family can be in Xiangyang for a day, the Shi family will also be in Xiangyang for a day. ”

Speaking of the struggle between several families in Xiangyang City, Tang Qing obviously showed unhappiness, but it was not because the existence of the Shi family posed a threat to the Tang family, but because of the boredom of intrigue from the bottom of his heart.

Also, the half-step cultivation of knowing one's fate is enough for Tang Qing to stand at a height that most people can't reach in a few lifetimes, and similarly, when a person stands higher, the more things he will see, and the angle of thinking about problems will not be limited to just one person, a family, a family, or even a city or a country.

"So I don't care what the Shi family has planned, don't say it's the Shi family, in fact, in the entire Xiangyang City, there are few people who can make me care, they are all trapped in this city. But after all, I am the Tang family, even if I don't help the three elder brothers make the Tang family go further, I don't want the Tang family to give anyone to calculate. ”

"So for so many years, the Tang family and the Shi family have tacitly agreed not to mention this matter. I also know that my relationship with Shi Xiaomei has not yet waited for the time when it is worth finding. ”

Tang Qing spoke softly all the way, and there were still no emotional ups and downs.

"If you think about it carefully, it's not a big deal, and the one who took the pot didn't have any complaints. ”

"Huh?"

Mu Sanqian actually felt that the Shi family and the Tang family were making a fuss, and the parties didn't think it was inappropriate, and others were following to worry about it. Besides, it is a shame for the Shi family to look at it horizontally and vertically, but it can save the face of the Shi family by covering it all the time, and the Tang family really has no loss. So he muttered unconsciously, Tang Qing didn't hear clearly, Mu Sanqian waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

"Shi Xiaomei is my Tangqing daughter, as a father, it is already my dereliction of duty not to take care of her to grow up, now, I just want to give her a freedom, a freedom to decide what she does. ”

"Father?"

Even Mu Sanqian didn't realize that Tang Qing admitted that Su Xiaomei was his father, and using a daughter to blackmail a father was simply murderous!

"Give Shi Xiaomei a freedom. ”

Mu Sanqian suddenly understood, and understood why Tang Qing could not remember to lose in order to protect Shi Xiaomei, even if he sacrificed his life to cast a natal sword for himself instead of his eldest brother.

"Mr. Tang Qing told me such a touching story, if I agree to let you help me forge the natal sword, then I will become an out-and-out bad person in Shi Xiaomei's eyes. ”

"Most of the sufferings in the world are hard to ask for, and I have long been used to it!"

"Natal sword, forget it. I have studied under the Taoist ancestor Wudang blessed land Zhang Mingjun Zhang Zhenren for more than ten years, I think I am diligent in learning, and my talent is not bad, I can cultivate to the upper realm of reason at the age of less than seventeen, I believe it is enough to make the world's talents embarrassed, since I can cultivate to the realm of reason, why not?"

After leaving Shudi, he met Cao Shuanglu and his party, and Po Xuan fought to the death on Taihu Lake, and his body had already been injured and secretly injured.

"Lord Xiaomu's cultivation is indeed amazing, Tang is not complimenting, but Tang doesn't understand. ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt. ”

"Master Xiaomu is not yet seventeen years old and is already a solid rational upper realm, at this time, he should practice solidly, step by step, he knows that his fate is naturally a matter of course, why is Lord Xiaomu so anxious? ”

"I naturally know, as I have just said, that most of the sufferings in the world are hard to seek, and I naturally have bitterness. ”

Mu Sanqian didn't want to say more, and Tang Qing naturally wouldn't keep asking without eyes.

But if a young man of this age said such a thing to himself, I am afraid that Tang Qing would have laughed off his big teeth a long time ago. But in Mu Sanqian's body, Tang Qing couldn't see the slightest pretense, he said that if he said that it was bitter, it was bitter, and if he said that he couldn't ask for it, he couldn't ask for it.

A young body contains a bitter soul in it.

Tang Qing suddenly thought.

Looking up again, it was getting late, and the first snow, which had already weakened, became heavy again, and the evening breeze rose, and the snow dispersed, and the eyes were lost and the conversation was scattered.

On the evening light, most of Xiangyang City is illuminated, faintly wind and snow, like a dream.

"Sir!"

In the snowstorm, a childish child's voice came from afar.

When he got closer, it was the scholar who had met and followed Tang Qing before.

"What's the matter, Tongzang, didn't I say that you don't have to come out to look for me when you're done?"

The scholar named Tongzang trotted up to the two of them, and when he stopped, he saw that Mu Sanqian was also there, so he gave Mu Sanqian an honest salute first.

"It's the second master, the second master said that there was something urgent, so he asked me to come out to find you. ”

Tongzang wiped his nose with his sleeve as he spoke, and his face was red from the cold for a long time, like random makeup.

"Well, got it. ”

Tang Qing responded.

"Lord Kogi is the most admired talent among the people Tang has seen in the first half of his life, and I believe that in time, Lord Kogi will definitely be able to become famous in Kyushu. ”

"Then borrow the good words of Mr. ”

After Tang Qing finished, he said this respectfully and very sincerely, making Mu Sanqian a little crying and laughing, and besides, if I don't go to hit your daughter, I don't need to wear such a high hat for me, right?

"Promised Mr. Tanglu to wait for the marriage of the two families of Shizuo after leaving, and then he will go to the house to say goodbye in person, since the second master is looking for Mr. has an urgent matter, Mr. will hurry back. ”

After saying goodbye to each other, Tang Qing left with Tongzang first, and when he left, he left the oil-paper umbrella with a painting on the surface of the umbrella to Mu Sanqian.

"The marriage of the interests of the two Shi Zuo families, I just don't know what Shi Xiaomei's attitude is, it seems that the Tang family will make a move, it all depends on Shi Xiaomei's intentions. ”

Waiting for Tang Qing and the two figures to be submerged in the wind and snow, Mu Sanqian held an umbrella and said slowly.

An oil-paper umbrella, held by Mu Sanqian but only covered his ordinary shoulders, and under the umbrella stood a woman in white at some point, and her skirt fluttered in the wind and snow.

"I really don't understand you human women, you obviously like this scholar, why do you still go to marry someone else?"

The woman in white stood still in the snow, and Mu Sanqian naturally didn't dare to move, and her right hand kept holding the handle of the umbrella.

Half an hour passed, and it was not until Mu Sanqian's right hand holding the handle of the umbrella was frozen white that the woman in white spoke.

"Maybe she's carrying a little more stuff on her back?"

Mu Sanqian replied cautiously.

"So what? Like is like, why change your mind for others?"

"This-"

Mu Sanqian also made a difficulty, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he didn't have the experience to answer emotional questions.

"Inexplicable!"

The woman in white glanced at Mu Sanqian, and then disappeared into thin air.

The moment she disappeared, the air around her suddenly relaxed, and half of Mu Sanqian's body, which was about to stiffen, slowly recovered.

"You're inexplicable, aren't you?"

Looking at the pair of clearly recognizable footprints left by the woman in white on the snow, Mu Sanqian's heart palpitated.
