On the other side of the lake in the East Garden, drive a small boat through the lake, and look up to see that on the high hillside, a pavilion Champs is built near the lake, and the water pavilion is built with logs, and the canopy is square, which is extremely majestic. The edge of the lake is covered with reeds. Now it is evening, the sunset is obliquely shining, the lake is full of gold, the breeze is slow, blowing the reeds fluttering, standing near the river, there is a great regret of the hero's twilight, to add a touch of Xiao Xiao chill.

Under the guidance of Kwon Zeming, the two of them went straight to the water pavilion around the gravel path. I saw that Nangong Bingxuan and Nangong Beidou had been together for a long time in the court. Seeing Qi En and Murong coming up, he hurriedly got up and greeted each other and said, "The two of you came in a chain, and they were surprised to teach Beidou." I didn't expect Brother Qi and Miss Murong to be old acquaintances?"

Qi En smiled: "I also met Miss Murong just now. Although it is not an old acquaintance, the two of us hit it off at first sight, and it really looks like we have known each other for a long time. ”

Nangong Beidou smiled when he heard this, pulled the two of them to sit down, and said to Qi En in a low voice: "Miss Murong's appearance of heaven and man is rare in the world, no wonder Brother Qi is moved." But don't look at her without martial arts, but her background is amazing. Brother Qi, be careful!"

Qi En was stunned when he heard this, and said casually: "Miss Murong and I just met in Pingshui, not what Brother Nangong thought. Ignoring Nangong Beidou's meaningful eyes, Qi En muttered to himself in his heart: "It's not small, there are not many famous heroes surnamed Murong in this martial arts, but even Nangong Beidou is not small, I'm afraid there is only one." By the way, just now she said that she lived in Swallow Dock since she was a child. Could it be that this Miss Murong turned out to be Gusu Yanziwu, and she also joined the owner of the village in the Water Pavilion, and returned the Murong family to the other in her way. Wow, it's amazing, I've only been in the Central Plains for a few days, and I've met so many difficult people. This Murong family master, Murong Yuntian, is an amazing guy. Miss Murong is a guest in the villa, so Murong Yuntian ・・・・・"

No wonder Qi En was flustered, this Murong Yuntian was at home in Suzhou, and it was only a water away from Jinling. Murong family's martial arts are broad and profound, Murong Yuntian's martial arts are even more superb, with his set of fingering to defeat the Shaolin leafless monk's flower finger so he became famous, but unfortunately he later met the first master of Shaolin, Master Wumei, and the result was a miserable defeat under his King Kong incorruptible divine skills. When Qi En was young, he used to challenge the masters of various factions everywhere, and he had a duel with Murong Yuntian. Murong Yuntian's family swordsmanship is very exquisite, Qi En's Tianlong Seventeen Style cultivation is still shallow, and his internal strength is insufficient, so he can't use the grandeur and fierceness of the swordsmanship, and he almost loses. In the end, it was Qi En who used the Long River Sunset Sword to pull back a game. But Murong Yuntian's most powerful martial arts are internal skills and fingering, although the sword moves are defeated, he still meets the enemy empty-handed. The two fought equally. Each admired each other's martial arts, so they gave up with a tie, and the two drank all night in Shenhezhuang, but became good friends. At this time, Qi En finally understood why Murong Yishi could see at a glance that he was a master of his own unique light skills. Murong Yuntian has a strong personality, is smart and wise, and has a meticulous heart, if he is targeted, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not recognize his identity. Qi En and he have a friendship, but he is not ready to be exposed, and he is still in Tianjian Villa, and he has never believed the two Nangong Bingxuan brothers.

Murong Yishi didn't hear what Qi En and Nangong Beidou said, and when she saw Qi En stunned, she couldn't help asking, "What are you whispering?" Why did Qi En suddenly be stupid. ”

Seeing this, Nangong Beidou was even more sure of the guess in his heart, and secretly laughed at Qi En's lack of interest. was about to speak, but a yin and yang strange voice came from behind him: "Looking at his distraction, he may not think of anything good." Miss Murong should be careful. This is because Qi Gongzi is a friend of Fengxue Cliff, and he may not be a person who has the same smell as the lewd thief. ”

Everyone looked back, but it was Gongsun Yu who strode under the guidance of his subordinates. Brother Nangong's face was a little unhappy, but there were outsiders present, so it was not easy to reprimand. Gongsun Yu ignored everyone's faces, and after seeing Nangong Bingxuan, he walked straight to Murong Yishi's side and arched his hand and said: "Miss Murong, I heard that Miss also came to Tianjian Villa the day before yesterday, and she has never had the opportunity to visit, and it is an honor to see Yuyan today." ”

Murong Yishi nodded and said, "It turned out to be Gongsun Gongzi." Unexpectedly, Childe was also a guest at the villa. Gongsun Yu said: "I heard that Miss Nangong had an accident, and she set off half a month ago, and she came in the starry night. But Miss Nangong has been closed to visitors, and she has not been able to come out of seclusion, and she has never had the opportunity to meet her. I heard that Miss Murong is Miss Three's best friend, and she must have come here to visit Miss Three!

Gongsun Yu is good-looking, but he has a rude personality, but when it comes to Nangong Xiaoyun, his face is rarely gentle, and his speech has become slurred. Qi En wondered in his heart, it turned out that this Gongsun Yu had a crush on Nangong Xiaoyun, no wonder he didn't know Fengxue Cliff but hated him to the core, and he didn't have a good face for Qi En.

Murong Yishi also sighed in her heart about Gongsun Yu's infatuation, and sighed: "Gongsun Gongzi doesn't have to worry, Xiaoyun is fine." I fought with Fengxue Cliff before, but I was only injured a little, and I didn't want to see anyone for the time being after I recovered. has Lao Gongzi in his arms, if Xiaoyun knows, he must be grateful. ”

Gongsun Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Really, I heard that the owner of the village will hold a banquet tonight, and the third lady is also among the invitees, to be Miss Murong's companion, I don't know..."

When Murong Yishi heard this, he looked at Nangong Bingxuan suspiciously, but heard Nangong Beidou say, "Gongsun Gongzi, don't worry, Xiaoyun has already promised me that I will definitely go to the meeting tonight." Look, isn't that coming?" and everyone hurriedly followed his fingers, but saw a flat boat floating in the middle of the lake, and two people were standing on it, and standing was a young man, handsome, dressed in a green robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist. He was slender and thin, with a calm expression and a smile on his lips. Holding a flower umbrella in his hand, he held it on the head of the person below him. And sitting here is a woman, wearing a long skirt of flowers, black hair and shawl, extremely beautiful, similar to the Nangong brothers between her eyebrows. Her skin is like snow, willow eyebrows and cherry lips, like a lotus fairy, sitting cross-legged, elegant and calm. The two stopped the boat and went to the pavilion, and the man had already put away the flower umbrella and followed the woman, like a servant. But Qi En's eyes are extraordinary, and it can still be seen from his gestures that this person's internal strength is still above himself.

Nangong Bingxuan saw the two of them coming up, and reproached: "Xiaoyun, you are too well-behaved, Jiang Chun is not your servant, and you dare to instruct you to give you an umbrella and support the boat." ”

When Qi En heard this, he glanced at the young man in surprise, it turned out that he was Min Jiangchun. Heavenly Sword Villa has three owners. Nangong Bingxuan, the owner of the big village, and Nangong Beidou, the owner of the second village, both of them are members of the Nangong family, inheriting the ancestral foundation, and the name is well deserved. However, the owner of the three villages is not Nangong Xiaoyun, who is also from the Nangong family, but a sword master named Min Jiangchun. This person's swordsmanship is extremely high, but he is willing to drive for Nangong Bingxuan in the Heavenly Sword Villa. Nangong Bingxuan is known as the virtuous corporal of Lixian, and treats Min Jiangchun very closely. Later, because of his repeated miraculous achievements, he was even appointed as the third owner of Tianjian Villa. I didn't expect such a character to give Nangong Xiaoyun an umbrella and support the boat, and be a servant's servant, which is really incomprehensible.

Nangong Xiaoyun was reprimanded by her brother, but there was no shame on her face. Giggled and said, "Okay, okay, I see." Min Jiangchun smiled indifferently and said, "Don't blame Xiaoyun for the owner. I am willing to do these things, it is Jiang Chun's honor to hold the boat and umbrella for the third young lady!" Nangong Xiaoyun looked angry: "Look! Brother Min didn't say anything. Big brother, you might as well love me as Brother Jiang. ”

Nangong Bingxuan smiled bitterly and invited the two of them to sit down. Seeing this, Gongsun Yu snorted dissatisfiedly. When Nangong Xiaoyun saw that Murong Yishi was also among them, her face was happy, she hurriedly sat down next to her, looked back and said to Nangong Bingxuan: "Brother said that there are distinguished guests at the banquet, it turns out that it is Sister Yishi! I'm really sorry. ”

The second half of his sentence was said to Murong Yishi, and Murong Yishi smiled and said: "It's okay, I am very relieved to see that you are fine." It's just that Gongsun Gongzi misses you very much, and you should thank you well. Nangong Xiaoyun only let out a faint sigh when she heard this, and turned back to Gongsun Yu and said: "The son is so concerned about Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun has thanked him here." ”

The demeanor of these words is very indifferent, as if to say, long time no see, hello and so on. But in Gongsun Yu's ears, he listened to Xianle, and said excitedly: "Miss said something, it will be a family in the future, don't be so polite." ”

It didn't matter much to Nangong Xiaoyun whether he heard or didn't listen to his voice, and when he said the first sentence, he asked Murong Yishi as if he had nothing to do: "How are you doing? It's almost boring in the villa these days!" But as soon as Gongsun Yu finished saying the second sentence, Nangong Xiaoyun's smile seemed to freeze all of a sudden, and he slowly turned his head, looked directly at this Gongsun Yu and said, "What did you just say?

Gongsun Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed softly: "It turns out that Brother Nangong hasn't told you yet! This time I went back to Jinling to see you, you are visiting your injuries, and secondly, I am also on the order of my father to propose marriage to you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi En and Murong Yishi were secretly surprised, Min Jiangchun was also surprised, and even Nangong Beidou didn't seem to think that he would bring it up in public. Only Nangong Bingxuan's face was as usual, as if everything was expected. Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Nangong Xiaoyun.

Nangong Xiaoyun was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, she turned her head to look at her brother Nangong Bingxuan, and said, "Big brother, what do you say?" Nangong Bingxuan looked at Nangong Beidou and asked, "What's the matter?" Second brother, haven't you told Xiaoyun all along?"

Nangong Beidou looked embarrassed, looked at Xiaoyun, looked at Bingxuan, lowered his head and said: "This matter is too anxious, and Xiaoyun is still recuperating from her injuries, so I haven't told Xiaoyun." This..."

"Well, you didn't say it, and it's not too late to say it today. I see that Xiaoyun's injury has long been healed, and after a month of recuperation, it should be fine. It's not too late to say today. Nangong Bingxuan interrupted his younger brother's words, turned his head to look at Nangong Xiaoyun, and said lightly: "Xiaoyun, you are twenty-five years old this year! After several considerations, he screened several outstanding children of wealthy families. But you can't even look at it. I see the martial arts of Gongsun Gongzi's family, and they are all right with my Nangong family. And Gongsun Gongzi is also a talent, which is not an insult to you. The most important thing is that Gongsun Gongzi has a deep affection for you. Half a month ago, I had already discussed with the Gongsun Valley Master and decided to settle the relationship between you and Gongsun Gongzi. Ten days ago, Gongsun Gongzi came to propose marriage with a dowry, and his brother agreed to come down for you. You will meet today, and we will be a family in a short time. ”

Nangong Bingxuan told her sister about her marriage in a calm tone, trying not to make waves. But Nangong Xiaoyun's face became whiter and paler, and when he finished speaking, there was almost no trace of blood on his pink cheeks. looked at this eldest brother whom he had always respected in disbelief, and couldn't believe that the marriage events of his life were given by a few words understated by his brother.

Gongsun Yu didn't notice anything wrong with Nangong Xiaoyun at all, but just smiled shyly: "In the eyes of Miss Nangong, these little brothers' small skills are naturally not worth mentioning, and being able to tie the knot with Miss Nangong in this life is the greatest happiness in the future." Nangong Bingxuan nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then asked Nangong Xiaoyun: "The so-called easy to ask for priceless treasures is rare to have a lover." Gongsun Gongzi is very affectionate and sincere to you, and there is no falsehood. If you can marry Gongsun Gongzi, you can be relieved to be a brother. ”

"I'm not married. Nangong Xiaoyun finally couldn't help but shout loudly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Everyone looked at Nangong Xiaoyun in surprise, not understanding why Xiaoyun suddenly turned her face when she was fine just now. Nangong Bingxuan's face sank when he heard this, but he was a person with a city government, so he didn't get angry immediately, but said in a faint deep voice: "Xiaoyun, what did you say?"

This simple single sentence, said by Nangong Bingxuan, contains an awe-inspiring momentum that is not angry and self-threatening. As the head of the Nangong family, where he has been accumulating power since he was a child, Nangong Xiaoyun knows his brother's character well and will never tolerate disobedience. She mustered up all her strength to shout this sentence just now, but at this moment, under the gaze of her brother, she lost all the courage just now. His hands and feet were sore, and he almost fell back into his chair. But a tall and cold figure suddenly flashed in her mind, and it seemed that her whole body was full of strength again at this moment, and she looked directly into Nangong Bingxuan's gaze and shouted, "I won't marry." I don't like this man, why do you have to ask me to marry him. ”

Nangong Bingxuan shrugged his eyebrows, and the lion who seemed to be instantly enraged, glared at his sister and said angrily: "You dare to say it again." ”

Nangong Xiaoyun was stubborn, and shouted without fear: "It's the same if you say it a hundred times." I won't marry..." Before she finished speaking, Nangong Bingxuan slapped her. Nangong Xiaoyun screamed in surprise, covering her red face and being stunned, but tears burst out of her eyes. From childhood to adulthood, the eldest brother and the second brother have doted on themselves the most, and they are usually reluctant to even move a finger, but today, in an instant, all her sad grievances turned into tears of humiliation and slid down her cheeks, and she looked at Nangong Bingxuan, who was also stunned, and turned around and ran out of the Ludi Water Pavilion.

"Xiaoyun~" Seeing this, Murong Yishi hurriedly screamed and chased out. Several men in the field looked at each other, Nangong Bingxuan's eyes were dull, Nangong Beidou looked embarrassed, Min Jiangchun's face was dazed, and Gongsun Yu's face was full of frustration and resentment. Only Qi En, just at the right time, all this has nothing to do with him, but he is sitting in this embarrassing position, neither advancing nor retreating.

After waiting for half a sound, Nangong Bingxuan broke the deadlock, coughed dryly and said: "Today's incident is just a misunderstanding, it was originally going to set up a banquet for Brother Qi, but it turned out like this." Beidou is here to make amends to Brother Qi. ”

Qi En hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Nangong doesn't have to be polite. I didn't have anything to do here, so I retired first. As he spoke, he stood up and bowed his hand to everyone, Nangong Beidou said: "Things are messy here, forgive me for not being able to send them far." The two parted, and Zien also came out of the water pavilion.

All the way back to the gentleman's house, Qi En was full of doubts about today's events. After the incident of Fengxue Cliff, Nangong Xiaoyun couldn't come out of retreat, and the rest of the people thought that she was angry about being humiliated by Fengxue Cliff and was ashamed to see the guests. Today, however, this does not seem to be the case. Nangong Bingxuan set a family affair for her, but Nangong Xiaoyun didn't know it. Judging by her attitude, it seems that she already has a place in her heart. That's why he was so fiercely opposed to Nangong Bingxuan. On the other hand, Gongsun Yu, regardless of his appearance or family, is a good match with the Nangong family, but when it comes to martial arts character, Gongsun Yu is not worthy of Nangong Xiaoyun. With the current status of the Nangong family, what kind of man can't be found, why does Nangong Bingxuan have to marry his own sister to such a short-sighted reckless man? All these things are complicated, and Qi En has no clue at all. The attitudes of the three owners at the table seemed to have unspeakable secrets. The water seems to be getting deeper and deeper.

Nothing happened that night. Three days have passed, and Qi En is just playing the piano in the room, practicing calligraphy, and when he is bored, he goes outside to the garden to relax. There seems to be no movement on the Nangong family's side. On the evening of the third day, the gentleman's house where Zien was staying welcomed a guest. Murong Yishi.

Miss Murong didn't say hello when she came late at night. Qi didn't have anything to entertain here, but fortunately, the owner of Nangong Zhuang sent some high-quality Tieguanyin yesterday. Miss Murong tasted it. Qi En welcomed Murong Yishi into the room and said while making tea. When the tea was brought to the table, Qi En got straight to the point and said, "Miss Murong's late-night visit should not be as simple as just drinking tea. I don't know if there's anything I want Qi to help with?"

Murong Yishi tea hadn't taken a sip yet, and was almost choked by his words, and said helplessly: "I'm bored, can't I come and chat with you?"

Qi En hurriedly smiled: "Of course." But is there anything else Miss Murong has done on this trip? Miss Nangong has seen it, why don't you still have your swallow dock?"

Murong Yishi's eyebrows were raised, and he said angrily: "I heard that you mean that I wish I would go back early! Okay, even if Murong is here to resign today." Farewell!" he said as he got up and left. Qi En hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and said with a smile: "Miss Murong misunderstood. I'm not looking forward to you leaving, but I wish you didn't leave, so that there is also a like-minded companion in this Tianjian Villa. ”

Murong Yishi snorted: "Even if you still say a human thing." In this huge Heavenly Sword Villa, you are the only one who can talk to your fellow practitioners. I'm here today for no other purpose. As you said, just want someone to talk to. I heard that when you first entered the villa, you saw at a glance that the stone monument in front of the villa was different, but I want to hear from you what is the benefit of this stone monument. ”

Qi Enqi said: "If I don't see it, your congenital Sanjiao meridians are damaged, and you have no chance with martial arts. What are you listening to these sword moves that you don't have?"

Murong Yishi said, "Don't you know what Murong Yimai's nickname is?" Qi En replied: "Give back to him in his own way." ”

Murong Yishi said with a smile: "Isn't this right? My Murong family is like a gambler seeing a casino when he sees martial arts." Even if you can't learn martial arts, you can't just listen to it. Zien chuckled, nodded, and told her in detail what he had said that day. After Qi En finished speaking, Murong Yishi said, "Why don't you only add an explanation to the last Zhuang character?"

Qi En said: "This Zhuang character refers to the meaning of extending in all directions. Alludes to the luck of people. Obviously, it is a set of internal strength. But how complicated are the meridians of the human body, and how can this single Zhuang character fully understand the mysteries in it? Therefore, there must be something important missing in it. The external practice is wrong, but it hurts the meridians and bones, and it can be slowly recuperated in the future. But once the internal strength is wrong, it will be a catastrophe. Don't be sloppy. In this world, I am afraid that only the Yiyang Tianchuan of the Nangong family can fill the vacancy. ”

Murong Yishi nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "I can't remember everything here, why don't we go to the gate of the villa and study it for me." ”

Qi En glanced at Murong Yishi suspiciously, thought for a moment and then nodded and said, "It's okay, if there is nothing left or right, I will accompany you around." ”

The two of them immediately got up and went out of the house, and went straight to the door of the villa. Along the way, the two kept discussing martial arts insights, from weapons, swords, guns, swords, halberds, to fists, feet, palms, wind fingering, and talking about the internal strength of each sect and faction, Murong Yishi was not only familiar with all of them, but also had unique insights. Another Zien was eye-opening and impressed by her.

The two of them walked through the West Garden to the east, passing through a camphor forest, and the two of them did not take the main road in order to hide people's eyes and ears. But at this moment, Zien saw a man and a woman sitting on the mountain path below. In Heavenly Sword Villa, this kind of thing is rare, and looking at that person is even more shocking. This man and a woman, the man is handsome and straight, wearing a green shirt, and it is Min Jiangchun, the owner of the three villages. The woman has a graceful figure, willow eyebrows and cherry lips, and she is Nangong Xiaoyun. Qi En Murong looked at each other and smiled, and thought: No wonder Nangong Xiaoyun is reluctant to accept Gongsun Yu, it turns out that people have fallen in love with this Minjiang Spring Zhuang. It's just that she has this heart, why didn't she tell Nangong Bingxuan earlier?

At this time, the two of them were not in the mood to look at the stone stele, but secretly ran behind the banyan tree on their cliff as if they had a tacit understanding. I just heard Min Jiangchun say: "Brother Min, although you are not my own brother, you love me more than my own brother." If you have anything to do since I was a child, you have to help me even if you hide it from my brother. I've always kept it in my heart. Today, I can see through that the eldest brother and second brother who were obedient to me in the past, as long as they encounter the interests of the family, they will only sell my life to realize their ideals and ambitions. None of them really hurt me. ”

When Qi En heard this, he couldn't help frowning, listening to this tone, the relationship between the two didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined, as for the interests of the family?
