The moonlight is long, the clear spring is long, the green forest is swaying, the wind is roaring, and occasionally the sound of birds, beasts, bamboo and insects echoes in the heaven and earth, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet night.

......

Twenty miles north of the city, there is a wide courtyard standing in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, the surrounding is deserted, only a simple bluestone path leads to the outside, at this time when the moon is cold, the mountain is gloomy and cold, even the wild beasts are not willing to come out more.

......

......

This courtyard is extremely private, uninhabited on weekdays, like a haunted house, but it is all available, it has not been contaminated with dust, and no one knows that it was purchased by Zhang Zheng a long time ago.

......

On the quiet path, the two figures walked together, the woman's face was beautiful, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, even the night could not stop the happiness rippling on her face.

......

"It's almost there, just ahead. Zhang Zheng stroked the hair on Xue Ji's forehead and whispered, his left hand and Xue Ji's right hand were tightly linked, and his right hand pointed in the direction of a courtyard.

......

Behind them, Yagyu Tajima Mamori and his masters acted as guards, and instead of being depressed, he felt very comfortable, he hadn't seen his daughter's smiling face for too long.

......

"Crunch. The wooden door was pushed open, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance, and there was a pale blue flower garden in which the master of the black-clothed arrow team came out to place Yanagi Tajima and the others, and Zhang Zheng took Yukihime to the backyard.

......

"Rest early, I'll take you to the capital tomorrow to play." He took a thick quilt and put a soft fur on it, and then took off the cloak on Yukihime.

"I live next door, I can call me anything. When she covered the quilt, Zhang Zheng was about to turn around and leave, when Xue Ji whispered to stop him: "Wait." ”

He looked back and chuckled, "What's wrong?"

Xue Ji's face turned red, and she plucked up the courage to say after a while: "Can Mr. accompany me on the side, Xue Ji doesn't want to be separated from Mr. for a moment." ”

"Little girl. Although he spoke, he stopped, brought a chair from the side and put it on the head of the bed, and watched her fall asleep quietly.

......

This night was the most reassuring sleep of Yanagi Xueji in five years, and she didn't wake up until the evening of the next day, during which Zhang Zheng stayed by her side, never leaving.

......

Early in the morning of the third day, Xue Ji got up early and changed into the service of a Han woman in Middle Earth, a snow-white long skirt, her hair was pulled up and a jasper hairpin was inserted, and she was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet.

Today, Zhang Zheng promised to take her shopping.

As for Yagyu Danma Mamoru, he took people to stay in the courtyard obediently to recuperate.

Now is not the best time to besiege and kill Zhu Ignorance, at least you have to wait until Guihai has practiced "Three Swords of the Nose Road" and "Dominating the World" before you can do it, so that you can have the greatest chance of success.

At least two or three months to wait, this is still the best plan, although the talent of Guihai is high, but the magic knife is deep and obscure, and it is not something that can be practiced casually.

Before that, he still had three things to do, one of which was to get Tianxiang Cardamom from Cao Zhengchun's hand, not only to use it as bait, but also to resurrect Su Xin.

The second is to go to the Shaolin Temple to get the Buddha Demon Elimination Pill from the end of the hand to suppress the demonic nature of the knife returning to the sea. By the way, I completed the bet with the void.

The third is to regain Suxin's body.

......

It is not difficult for Tianxiang Cardamom and to regain Su Xin's body, he has already sent someone to Tianshan, as for Tianxiang Cardamom, he also inquired about his whereabouts early, and when the time comes, he just needs to take it.

There is no hurry to go to the Shaolin Temple.

There is another big thing that bears the brunt, and that is to accompany Xue Ji to visit the capital.

It was only twenty miles away from the courtyard to Jingshi, and with the strength of the feet of the two of them, they came to the city gate in less than half an hour.

Looking at the magnificent city wall and the surging crowd, Yukihime's eyes were full of curiosity and amazement.

seem

It's one of a kind

Prosperity I've never seen before

......

Fuso is just an island country, a small country with few people, even the largest of them, Kyoto Edo, is far from being able to compare with the castle of Middle-earth, and the gap between them is like mud.

......

"There are so many people. She held Zhang Zheng's hand, her head swaying from side to side, as if she wanted to finish everything.

......

"Let's go. ”

He chuckled twice, grabbed the willow waist of the beautiful woman in his arms with one hand, and entered the city with the slowly flowing crowd.

......

The prosperity of Beijing is unimaginable, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty is located, even Jinling cannot reach it.

On the wide street, there are many shops, restaurants are next to each other, the two of them ate from the street to the end of the street, and tasted the delicious food they saw, two hours later, Xue Ji put down the sugar gourd in her hand without being pulled by Zhang Zheng, she might be able to eat it again.

Turning the street, I came to a slightly deserted side street, with few pedestrians, too wandering, in sharp contrast to the street not far away.

......

There is a characteristic of this street, each shop is very large, and the decoration is very high-end, there are strong black-clothed samurai guards at the door, the people who come and go are gorgeously dressed, the whole body is full of luxury, there are few ordinary people, all are some relatives of the emperor, or rich merchants.

......

The famous jade street in Beijing.

......

Zhang Zheng walked down the street with Xue Ji, which instantly attracted the attention of most people.

The attraction of such a strange woman as Xue Ji to men is simply irresistible, and some gentlemen can't suppress the turmoil in their hearts, so they are about to come over, only to see the waist card hanging on his body, and they return in a huff, joking, they don't dare to provoke the people of Dongchang.

......

After walking seventy or eighty steps down the side street, the two stopped in front of a jade shop called "Yu Yu Xuan".

The boss was a middle-aged man, wearing a yellow silk robe, with a big belly, and a very enthusiastic attitude, and took him and Yanagi Yukihime directly to the front of the innermost shelf and said: "The things here are the best in the small shop, all of them are the top jade in the world, and the son and the lady choose them slowly." ”

None of the people who can open a store here are simple characters, middle-aged men just know at a glance that the two people in front of them are by no means ordinary people, and their appearance can be faked, but their temperament and eyes cannot be faked.

Zhang Zheng gave him the feeling of arrogance, always on top, overlooking all beings, except for the woman next to him, as if he didn't care about everything.

And although this beautiful woman is gentle and virtuous, it makes him shiver, as if she can bring death at any time. And her gentleness was only for this man, and the middle-aged man even noticed the murderous intent flashing in her eyes when she looked at other men.

......

"You can't offend them. The boss said secretly in his heart, but his face became more and more enthusiastic.

"This is a blood gem from the Western Regions. ”

"This is the best jadeite carved phoenix hairpin"

"Mandarin Duck Hairpin"

"This is a high-grade Hetian jade bracelet, the only pair in the world, and there is no other family. ”

And also......

......

The boss kept talking, and after a while, Zhang Zheng frowned and said, "You go down first, we will choose by ourselves." ”

"Okay, the guest officer can call me for anything. The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly walked away.

......

"Look, sir scared people. Yukihime covered her mouth and giggled.

......

He picked up the emerald mandarin duck hairpin, gently inserted it into her bun, held his hands and looked at Niu for a moment and said with satisfaction: "It's so beautiful." ”

Xue Ji's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said shyly: "If Mr. says it's good-looking, it's good-looking." ”

He picked up the pair of bracelets again and gently put her wrist on it, the navy blue jade color reflected the snow-white skin, complementing each other, and highlighting the beauty of Xue Ji.

......

"Yukihime, you're so beautiful. Zhang Zheng was stunned and couldn't help but say.

Xue Ji's face was dripping red, with spring between his eyebrows, and his eyes were like autumn water, which was enough to melt his heart.

......

He leaned his face up and was about to kiss the red lips, but Yukihime was even more unbearable and closed her eyes shyly.

......

However, accidents always happen unexpectedly.

......

"Big brother, you're here too. ”
