Chapter 61: Farewell
The news of Gusu has not yet reached distant Liangzhou, so when Bai Qian and Xuan Shuying were in front of Wei Qichen's grave, they still remembered Xiling Ye in their hearts.
A full moon gradually sank into the West Mountain, and Xuan Shuying, who was kneeling on the ground, was soon wet with dew, and the cold touch made people more sober.
Bai Qian still maintained the previous posture of holding the sword, as if the murder weapon in his arms was not a murder weapon, but a treasure that had been treasured for many years or someone who was reluctant to let go.
His low voice startled even himself as the silent dawn sounded.
He asked Xuan Shuying what his plans were next?
Xuan Shuying was even more like being suddenly awakened in a dream, and her expression was full of astonishment. She was still on her knees and didn't plan to get up, she originally wanted to weave a wreath for her brother to stay with him, but she was afraid that it would be too abrupt and expose him, so she could only stay in front of his grave silently for as long as possible.
She said that she was going to give the sword to the young master, even if it was sent to his grave, she couldn't let Long Yuan wander outside. It was as if Long Yuan was a lonely child of the young master who was left behind, and it was just his sword, not a sword that belonged to him alone.
Bai Qian thought for a while, a famous sword like Long Yuan probably didn't want to be buried.
Then he said, "Your young master doesn't have a grave, he hasn't been buried yet." ”
"Haven't you been buried after dying for so many years?, isn't it that the old man is crazy and has to keep the body?" Xuan Shuying looked a little surprised, obviously forgetting that Bai Qian had already told her that Xiling Ye was not dead before.
Coughing a little embarrassed, Bai Qian asked, "I see that your master really attaches great importance to the young master, and he is very good to him." ”
Xuan Shuying: "Of course, the young master is the only son of the master, he was born without a mother, the master treats him, half of it is the friendship between father and son, and half of it is also compensation for his dead mother." ”
This time it was Bai Qian's turn to be surprised, he recognized Xiling Ye's mother, who was a very dignified lady, and the most important thing was that she was still alive and well.
Bai Qian: "Isn't your wife still alive?"
Xuan Shuying suddenly realized that she had said something that she shouldn't have said, and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Bai Qian just looked at her directly, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
Xuan Shuying knew that she couldn't care if the explanation was reasonable or unreasonable, but there must be an explanation.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Madame only cares about Miss, and she doesn't care much about the young master." So the young master is no different from the motherless. "This kind of explanation can't deceive fools, let alone Bai Qian, who is so familiar with Xiling Ye.
It is true that he rarely mentions his mother, but at most they are estranged from each other, and it is by no means the same as no mother.
Seeing that Bai Qian didn't believe it, she suddenly let go, and while slowly standing up, she said: "The young master's mother is the lady's sister, and the young master died a few days after he was born. ”
Bai Qian didn't speak, just looked at her suspiciously.
"Speaking of which, it's all about the previous dynasty, and time has passed, and they are all gone, so it's nothing to say. ”
Bai Qian glanced at her and kindly reminded: "Your master is still alive, it should be easy for him to kill him, right?"
Xuan Shuying seemed to have just realized this problem, and nodded, "Yes, it is as easy for the master to kill me as it is to shoot a fly to death, and this matter has been hidden from the young master." ”
Bai Qian: "Young Master, he doesn't know himself, how do you know?"
Xuan Shuying was obviously a little weak-hearted, and her voice lowered, "I listened to what the old housekeeper said."
Bai Qian: "Is the old housekeeper still alive?"
Xuan Shuying: "I heard what he said before he died." ”
Bai Qian seemed to have an understanding, and said, "Oh, forget it, I won't ask, and I will arrange for you to go back to Gusu with Uncle Lu tomorrow." ”
Xuan Shuying: "Why are you going back to Gusu?"
Bai Qian: "Go find your young master, he is now in Gusu." Xuan Shuying had no objection to this arrangement, after all, she didn't dare to take Long Yuan on the road by herself, she was caught once and finally escaped, and if she was caught again, it was estimated that she would really have no life to go back.
She herself couldn't tell why she still believed in him so much after seeing death in front of Bai Qian, probably because the young master had always believed in him, and she had always believed in the young master.
The next day, when Bai Qian invited him to go back with him, he refused without hesitation, but entrusted Lu Qian to bring Shang Lu and Xuan Shuying back.
Xuan Shuying was grateful, the way back was dangerous, and it was much smoother to be able to follow Lu Qian and his party.
But Shang Lu refused to go back, he had only been out for a short time, except for learning some light skills from Bai Qian, he had not grown at all, and he was afraid that he would have to make a joke to his two sisters when he went back.
Bai Qian looked at Shang Lu and smiled slightly, and said, "You have also seen the martial arts conference, you can go back." ”
Shang Lu stubbornly stood in front of Bai Qian, tilted his head and looked directly into Bai Qian's eyes, and said, "No, I am going to follow the master to the rivers and lakes." ”
Bai Qian was a little helpless: "The biggest thing in the rivers and lakes is the martial arts conference, you have also seen it, there is nothing to see." After a pause, he added: "I showed my face at this martial arts conference, I'm afraid that you won't be so clean if you follow me in the future." ”
Shang Lu suddenly remembered a serious question, Bai Qian kept saying that he wanted to go home for the New Year, where is his home?
Just ask when you think of it, he's always been a rectum.
Shang Lu: "Big Brother Bai, where is your family?"
Bai Qian: "Didn't you say it, in the south, far to the south." ”
Shang Lu: "Did you go out of the country?"
Bai Qian: "You're really not leaving?"
Shang Lu: "Brother Bai, I will go wherever you go." "This kid is determined to learn all the kung fu before Bai, otherwise he won't give up.
Lu Qian, who was standing on the side watching the excitement, suddenly spoke, "It's almost dawn, if you two don't go back with me, then I'll go first." ”
Bai Qian nodded and waved his hand to Lu Qian: "Third uncle has a good journey! ”
Just as they were talking, Xuan Shuying had already unconsciously changed her face, and now in addition to being shorter than Bai Qian, her eyebrows and eyes looked no different from Bai Qian.
So much so that Bai Qian was shocked when she looked at her, and in the face of Bai Qian's unbelievable eyes, she smiled mischievously and said, "Brother Bai, along the way, I will borrow your face, your third uncle and I will protect you, you can go home with peace of mind." ”
Bai Qian knew her kung fu foundation, and there was no hope at all to protect Lu Qian, and it would be good to be able to protect herself.
"Okay, I promised, I'll lend you my face. Although he knew it, he waved his hand generously, and then turned over and took the reins and walked in the other direction.
He didn't seem to say goodbye at all, and he didn't look back until the sound of the horse's hooves behind him was too far away to be heard.
Shang Lu could see that he was a little reluctant, but he couldn't tell who he was reluctant to do. simply asked him directly: "Brother Bai, do you have a crush on that girl?"
Bai Qian: "Hmm, which girl?"
Shang Lu: "It's the girl who Yi Rongcheng is you?"
Bai Qian: "Me and her, but a few fates, where is it so easy to like it." What are you thinking?"
Shang Lu: "Then what do you look back at?"
Bai Qian: "I'm looking at Uncle Lu, the way back should be stopped, I hope they can return to Gusu safely." As he spoke, he tugged on the reins in his hand and continued, "Didn't you just ask where my home is? My home is indeed not from the Central Plains, and we will go through the Hengduan Mountains and go to Xiliang." ”
As he spoke, his legs tightened, urging the horse under his crotch to speed up the trip, and Shang Lu also hurriedly whipped up to catch up, and the two of them quickly disappeared on the horizon.
