Chapter Seventy-Two: Riding Together

The backyard of Mission Hills

It was getting late, the stars were twinkling in the dark night sky, the backyard was shrouded in glow, the grass was green, and the peach trees were swaying.

Wanyan Ping and the girls sat around the stone table, each holding a well-made card in Su Yu's small hand, while elegantly shaking the card, the cherry lips opened and closed, and the warbler swallow whispered.

"I see that the eldest brother is really angry this time, and he won't come back at night!" Wan Yanping buckled the cards on the table, a little surprised, and didn't want to play anymore.

"Won't it?" Xiao Feng also buckled the cards back on the table, reached out and handed a few jade cups on the other table to the women, the drinks in the cups were rippling with green in the jade cups, and the light fragrance was refreshing.

Xiao Feng took the jade cup and said with a wry smile: "Gongzi Ye just sent a message, saying that he met Xiang'er and Po Yu today, and he wanted to take the two of them back slowly." ”

"Ahh

Xiao Yue, who was sitting next to Xiao Xing, couldn't help but stick out her tongue and whispered, "Then aren't they going to walk for ten days and half a month?"

Guo Fu stroked the little red rabbit Chixia, and a wry smile appeared on Yue Yi's delicate face: "This must be Xiang'er's ghost idea,...... The two of them have always envied their father and mother for being able to roam freely in the martial arts when they were young, and when they meet the eldest brother this time, they will naturally not let go of this good opportunity!"

Wan Yanping shook her head, put down the jade cup, and sighed deeply: "It's none of Xiang'er's business, if the eldest brother wants to go home, he can come back in the blink of an eye, in previous years, when he went to Pudu Temple, he came back every evening and went again in the morning, and he never didn't come back." ”

The women were silent, it was true, with Xiao Yuesheng's skills, the distance between Pudu Temple and Guanlan Villa was no different from the front yard and the back yard, which could be reached in an instant.

Xiao Yu gently shook the clear liquid in the cup, her face was heavy and thoughtful.

"Sister Xiaoyu, is the eldest brother really angry?" Xiaoxing is no longer as cold as frost during the day, his eyes are shining, like stars in the sky, seeing the expression of the most resourceful Xiaoyu sister, he knows that she has a different idea.

Xiao Yu woke up from her contemplation, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she couldn't help touching her hibiscus jade face, feeling inexplicable.

"Xiaoyu, what did you say was going on with your son-in-law?" Wan Yanping saw her blank eyes and knew that she was too focused just now to hear Xiaoxing's question.

"Madame...... Sister Wanyan, Xiaoyu is thinking, since Gongzi Ye rescued Sister Xie, although he behaved as usual, I can feel that Gongzi Ye is a little abnormal, I think, it may be because Gongzi Ye consumes too much energy and is more sensitive, and Sister Xie and Cheng Lu's two sisters left at the same time, which has a greater impact on him, so I want to go out and adjust!"

Xiao Yu finished her words in one breath, hurriedly picked up the jade cup, raised her neck and took a big sip, looking quite bold.

All the women frowned, pondering Xiaoyu's words.

Everyone felt that his words were reasonable, and after such an earth-shattering spell, if he was not affected by anything, it was impossible, even if the skill of the prince was superb, he could not be affected in the slightest, and Xie Xiaolan and Cheng Ying's farewell made him lose his temper on the spot, I am afraid that he was also afraid that he would stay in the villa, and it would be inevitable that he would lose his temper again, so he went out to adjust.

Thinking of this, Wan Yanping breathed a sigh of relief, the unknown is the most terrifying, once you figure it out, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"It's a good thing that the prince didn't come back. Xiaoxing said softly, seeing everyone looking at her, she flashed her eyes and said, "Hearing that Sister Xie left Jiaxing, he will inevitably lose his temper." ”

Xiaoyu felt slightly guilty, and always felt that it was her subconscious resistance that forced Sister Xie away.

Now although there is a master of Mission Hills Villa secretly protecting, there is no guarantee that she will be injured again, after all, there are many people who want to kill her, and few people in Jiaxing City dare to make a move.

"Alas, I still have to persuade Sister Xie to come back, otherwise there will be another accident, with the unstable state of mind of the current son, once the thunder is angry, it is really unpredictable what will happen!"

Xiao Yu sighed a little worriedly and said to Wan Yanping.

Wan Yanping suddenly chuckled, touched Xiaoyu's hibiscus face, and smiled: "Look at Xiaoyu's sorrow,...... Don't worry, with Sister Xie's current skills, few people can hurt her,...... Besides, hasn't Murong Ye been injured by Ziming? Under the hands of Tianlei, he can't protect himself, how can he have any heart to find trouble with Sister Xie!"

Xiaoyue leaned next to Guo Fu, gently stroked Chixia, and then smiled coquettishly: "You are really asking for trouble, there is a son, why should we bother, everything is left to the master!"

Xiao Feng held the jade cup, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Xiao Yue is really a lazy worm,......! She's not unreasonable!"

"Giggles, it's still Sister Xiaofeng's smartness, we're really heroes, we're the same as what we see!" Xiao Yue smiled and stretched out her jade arm to hug Xiaofeng.

"I'm not as skinny as you!" Xiao Feng flashed lightly, dodging her arm, and a gentle smile was on her face.

Xiao Yue frowned, snorted, and turned around to stroke Chixia.

Guo Fu looked very envious, although he got along with everyone very well, but he had not yet reached the point where he could fight wantonly, so he was not in a hurry.

Although he was prepared in his heart, Xiao Yuesheng still regretted it very much.

You really shouldn't have come to Lin'an City!

Watching Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu running around on the streets of Lin'an City, Xiao Yuesheng followed behind them, full of helplessness.

Compared with Xiangyang City, Lin'an City is very prosperous and lively, and the two young boys and girls who have never seen the prosperity of their dreams are not excited.

Pedestrians are weaving, and the flags of the restaurants that cover the sky make the eyes of the two people dazzled, and it is really unimaginable that a city government can be prosperous.

"Xiang'er, break the captive, turn right!" The two of them ran around in excitement for a while, although they left their brother-in-law out of sight, but they could always hear the brother-in-law's clear voice ringing in their ears at the intersection of every street, as if talking beside them.

This makes the two even more unscrupulous, they don't have to wait for their brother-in-law, he can always keep up with him.

Under Xiao Yuesheng's constant guidance, the two walked through more than a dozen streets and came to a golden stone workshop.

This street is all antique jade, bluestone paving, neat and unusual, not as lively as other markets, the genus of the people, all with care, silk and satin, either rich or expensive.

"Dengyunxuan. Guo Poyu pointed to the wooden plaque on the door and read out the elegant and free yang text engraved on it. The snow-white velvet curtain under the plaque hangs lightly and is extremely quiet.

"It's really deserted here, it seems that business is not very good!" Guo Poyu turned his head and said to the second sister beside him.

Guo Xiang was dressed in a plain white shirt, with only an emerald green bamboo stick pinned to his waist, and a dark green short sword hanging on Guo Poyu's body.

She didn't speak, but carefully watched the rest of the shops, and found that they were all deserted and deserted.

Suddenly, the green shadow flashed, Xiao Yuesheng appeared beside the two, patted Guo Poyu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Poyu, I'll teach a truth today, never just look at the surface, go, go in!"

With that, he lifted the velvet curtain and stepped into the hall.

As soon as he entered the house, a wave of heat came to his face, Guo Xiang had a hairpin to protect his body, and the clear stream turned around, and his body was as cool as before, but Guo Poyu could only use his strength to resist this sudden heat.

This is a small house only about seven feet in length and width, but it is a glazed window, which is extremely bright, the charcoal stove is burned red at both corners, the case is ready, a few teng chairs, quite graceful and noble, a pear wood cabinet stands on the south wall, facing the light of the window, and several porcelain and jade objects on it are shining.

This is not so much a golden stone workshop, but a person's study, which looks elegant and luxurious, without any copper-smelling philistine.

A man sat on the main seat, and when he saw someone coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Zhuang owner-!" this person shouted lightly, but it was a very young man, with sword eyebrows and long beard, quite Xiao Yuesheng's style, but his face was handsome, but he was far better than Xiao Yuesheng.

"Dengyun, how is the business?" Xiao Yuesheng smiled and took his arm, patted him affectionately, and the two stood together, the difference in height and shortness.

"Thanks to the owner, everything is business as usual. Dengyun replied respectfully.

Xiao Yuesheng nodded, this Dengyunxuan is one of the shops of Guanlan Villa in Lin'an City, he introduced Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu to him, and then explained his intentions, and asked him to prepare three good horses.

Xiao Dengyun let the three of them into the inner room, the inner room and the outhouse design is the same, the east window is hung on both sides, the west wall is hung with paintings, the south is a dark brown wood cabinet, the two small servants in the room are wiping a few quaint jade plates and jade carvings in front of the cabinet, Xiao Yuesheng ordered one person to go out to greet the guests, and the other person went to the villa to get three horses.

"Dengyun, what's the special situation recently?" Xiao Yuesheng sat on the main seat, sipping tea leisurely, and asked casually.

A lightly lit incense makes the room glow with a faint and tranquil atmosphere, which makes people feel refreshed and peaceful. Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu sat next to Xiao Yuesheng and looked at Xiao Dengyun curiously.

"Back to the owner, this time, the Nanshan Gang is becoming more and more powerful, the underground forces in Lin'an City are gradually being swallowed up by it, and other gangs have begun to form alliances against each other, if there is no official interference, sooner or later there will be a big fight. Xiao Dengyun hurriedly put down the teacup and said respectfully.

"Hmm, Nanshan Gang,...... You don't want to get involved, in case you can't help yourself, you have to do it cleanly, this Nanshan Gang is so rampant, it must be supported by someone in the imperial court, and Lin'an City can be lively for a while!"

Xiao Yuesheng turned the lid of the tea cup with a smile that was a bit of a good show.

Xiao Dengyun also showed a smile of schadenfreude with the owner of the village, and they, the people of Mission Hills Villa, unconsciously carried the brand of Xiao Yuesheng in their surnames, and had a detached and playful mentality towards the world.

Guo Xiang, who was beside him, looked at the smiles of the two and always felt that there was a bit of naughtiness in their smiles.

"Oh, by the way, Zhuang Master, there is one more thing...... Xiao Dengyun hurriedly put away his smile, "It is that the Lord of Hanyue County in the Rui Wangye Mansion is terminally ill and is seeking medical treatment everywhere, although our Guanlan Villa is not famous, but Mrs. Feng's name as a doctor and immortal is well known in Lin'an City, and his subordinates think that the prince will definitely find his wife." ”

"Terminal illness?" Xiao Yuesheng touched his black and straight mustache, and groaned in his heart, if he encounters internal injuries or the like, it is a piece of cake for himself, and he can be protected with a wave of his hand, but when he encounters incurable physical diseases, he cannot deal with them, so he can only hand them over to Xiaofeng.

"Hmm, the Sun family and the Bai family in Lin'an City are all Xinglin's hands, and there are imperial court doctors, maybe they can be cured, oh, these are two soul rejuvenation pills, just in case, hehe, how are you and the little girl in Rui Wangfu?"

Xiao Yuesheng took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, threw it to Xiao Dengyun, and when he caught the medicine bottle and carefully put it in his arms, Xiao Yuesheng asked with a little ridicule.

Xiao Dengyun's face, which had always been calm and calm, suddenly turned red, a little at a loss, and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"If that county lord really has no one to heal, then you use the Soul Rejuvenation Pill as a dowry, I don't believe it, the life of this Rui Wangye's daughter is really no better than a maid ring!" Xiao Yuesheng said with a smile, although there was no resentment in his words, his tone was joking, and there was no sign of seriousness.

"Thank you to the owner for making it happen...... Dengyun is ashamed!" Xiao Dengyun stood up and bowed to Xiao Yuesheng, feeling very grateful in his heart.

The woman he fancied was the maid ring of the county lord of Hanyue, extremely beautiful, although the two were in love, but her identity was from the palace, and she was going to marry with the county lord, how could the prince's mansion agree to him marrying a small gold and stone merchant.

Mission Hills Villa is not famous, outside Jiaxing City, few people know it, for the prince's mansion, it is really not the right door, even if it is a girl, it will not easily agree to marry.

At this time, the horses had arrived, Xiao Yuesheng ignored Xiao Dengyun's retention, and left Lin'an City with Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu.

Under the sunset, in the afterglow, the three of them galloped along the official road, quite a wide avenue, only to hear the sound of rapid and chaotic horses' hooves, fortunately there were few pedestrians on the road, nothing was delayed.

The three of them are all excellent horsemen, heroic and cool, facing the fierce cold wind, galloping wildly, as if there is something urgent, in fact, the three of them are racing.

Although Xiao Yuesheng has little time to ride a horse, he is deeply familiar with the way of nature, has a keen sense, and can move with the horse's movements to save horsepower to the greatest extent.

Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu are family studies, Guo Jing is well versed in the way of cavalry, the tiger father has no dogs, Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu have learned riding since they were young, and they are naturally not far behind.

"Hehe, it's happy, it's really happy!" Xiao Yuesheng gradually controlled the speed of the horse under his seat and laughed loudly.

He could already sense that the chestnut steed was running out of strength, and he slowed down to give him a rest.

Not far behind him, two white horses rushed up, Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu on the horse were both full of energy, no tiredness, heard Xiao Yuesheng's laughter, and also laughed, although it was accompanied by silver bells, it still did not reduce the arrogance.

Seeing Xiao Yuesheng walking slowly, the two gradually slowed down, came to Xiao Yuesheng's side, and walked side by side, at this time they had entered a mountain forest road, with quite steep slopes on both sides, and pine forests everywhere on the slopes, covering the slopes with a layer of green.

"Brother-in-law, it's been a long time since we've had such a happy race!" Guo Poyu's thick eyebrows and big eyes were shining, looking at the mountains and forests on both sides, and between his expectations, there was a faint sense of majesty.

Xiao Yuesheng also felt that his mind was open, although he did not have the extreme speed of performing light skills, but with the heartbeat and footsteps, the feeling of galloping hard was very different from the extreme speed that passed in a flash, and it could provoke his heart to beat faster and his blood boiling, this feeling has not been possessed since the cultivation has been completed.

"I heard your eldest sister say that you have to go out of the city every day to gallop on horseback, how can you not feel happy?" Xiao Yuesheng slowly stroked the thick horse's mane, turned his head and looked at Guo Poyu with a smile.

"That's it...... I always run there every day, and it was fine at first, but then I didn't feel like a horse!" Guo Poyu held the reins in one hand and scratched his head with the other, feeling quite embarrassed, but he was not very good at lying, so he naturally said what he felt in his heart.

Xiao Yuesheng nodded, quite understanding his psychology, no matter how passionate things are, they can't survive the repetition of day after day, without stimulation, it is difficult to get excited.

He turned his head to look at Guo Xiang again, she was busy smoothing her long hair that was blown by the wind, the messy hair covered her cheeks from time to time, and her small hand didn't seem to be enough.

It's just the appearance of messy hair, but it makes Guo Xiang a little more charming, Xiao Yuesheng stretched out his big hand and naturally helped her pull the long hair that was covered in front of her.

When he saw Guo Xiang bowing his head and showing a shy flush, he was shocked to realize that his movements were too intimate, and he hurriedly smiled: "You really look like your sister with such loose hair!"

Guo Xiang smiled and didn't speak, and a faint sense of loss suddenly rose in his heart.

Xiao Yuesheng suddenly appeared in his hand a wine gourd, two palm-sized, purple in color, like gold but not gold, people were attracted by it at a glance, and at a glance, they knew that it was not a mundane thing.

He handed the purple gold gourd to Guo Poyu, and said with a smile: "Here, Poyu, take a sip of wine to warm up!"

At this time, Guo Polu's face turned pale, but fortunately he had deep internal strength to protect his body, otherwise it would be difficult to resist such a cold headwind.

He subconsciously took the purple gourd, and then hesitated a little, "Brother-in-law,...... My mom and dad won't let me drink, saying I'm going to wait another two years!"

Guo Poyu said this, but his big eyes were staring at the purple gold gourd, and he couldn't wait to open the stopper immediately and drink it.

Xiao Yuesheng scolded with a smile: "Good boy, pretending to be a good boy in front of me, you secretly drink, do you think no one knows?!"

Guo Poyu smiled and scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, his eyes secretly looked at the second sister opposite, it was the second sister who took him out to drink secretly, could it be that the second sister told the secret? Otherwise, why is her face so red?

Although Guo Xiang was full of thoughts, he kept pricking up his ears to listen to his brother-in-law's words, and when he saw Guo Poyu looking at him, how could he not know his brother's little thoughts?

Xiao Yuesheng glanced at her, smiled slightly, and a jasper gourd appeared in his hand and handed it to Guo Xiang, "Xiang'er, this is the fruit wine that your sister usually likes to drink, you can taste it." ”

Guo Xiang saw that the jasper gourd was exquisite, and it was also engraved with cloud patterns and bamboo branches, and the liquid in it was faintly visible and slightly shaking, which made people want to take a sip.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Guo Xiang took the jasper gourd, and his tentacles were warm. Seeing that his brother-in-law had already taken out another purple gold gourd, he drank it on his head, but he also put his hands on the bridle, pulled out the stopper, and took a small sip of the cherry and the mouth of the gourd, and drank it gently.

"Ah, it's warm!" Guo Xiang pursed his rosy cherry lips with a surprised smile.

"Hehe, how does it taste?" Xiao Yuesheng asked with a smile, taking his eyes off her delicate lips.

"It's so delicious, no wonder the eldest sister likes it...... And it's still warm, what's going on?" Guo Xiang turned the gourd, looking at it over and over again, wanting to find out.

"Is it really warm, second sister?" Guo Poyu was very curious, although the wine he was drinking was unusually strong, it was extremely pleasant, but it did not feel warm.

"Give me a taste!" he stretched out his other arm across Xiao Yuesheng.

"Go, what do you drink, what do you taste!" Guo Xiang lightly slapped his outstretched hand, with a thin anger on his face.

Guo Poyu retracted his arm, and was puzzled in his heart, today the second sister seems to have changed as if she has changed a person, and before that, she had already handed over the gourd, forced herself to taste it too, scratched her head, grabbed the reins again, and secretly glanced at the second sister, who was very confused.

Xiao Yuesheng likes to watch their sister and brother fight, he has been an only child in his two lives, and he has never tasted the feeling of being a sister and brother.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and at this time they had entered a forest, except for the light whistling of the breeze through the trees, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, which seemed quiet and peaceful.

Suddenly, a long hiccup sounded in the woods, startling a finch or two.

Xiao Yuesheng turned his head to look at it, and couldn't help but feel funny, but found that Po Yu's face was red, his eyes were blurred, and he was smirking, sitting on horseback and swaying, as if he was about to fall off at any time.

Xiao Yuesheng secretly patted his head, the wine he gave Guo Poyu was refreshing, but the wine was mellow and had great stamina, and it was often intoxicating. He had just made a great effort to give Po Yu a chance to have a good drink, and he actually drunk himself.

Guo Xiang glanced at his younger brother's drunken appearance sideways, couldn't help but be angry and laughing, turned his head and asked Xiao Yuesheng: "Brother-in-law, what should I do?"

Guo Poyu was so drunk that he couldn't ride a horse at all, which was really sad.

Xiao Yuesheng saw Guo Poyu smirking at him, couldn't help but smile and shook his head, reached out and patted his back gently, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Guo Xiang only felt a strong aroma of wine coming to his nose, turned his head to look, but saw that the red on his brother's face faded rapidly, his eyes changed from a trance to a clear one, and he had already returned to his senses.

She was so amazed that her eyes couldn't help but look at her brother-in-law.

Xiao Yuesheng touched his mustache twice, and said with a smile: "Carving insect skills, if you know the mental method, you can also do it!"

"Huh!" When Guo Xiang was about to ask again, Xiao Yuesheng suddenly frowned in surprise, glanced at the south, turned to the two and said, "You guys go slowly for the time being, there is something to fight ahead, I will take the first step!"

After that, without waiting for the two to answer, the green shadow flashed, and immediately disappeared.
