Wanfu Zong moved his family.
The warriors in the sect hired more than a dozen carriages for their family members to ride in, while they rode on horseback.
At this moment, the carriage was parked at the entrance of that small town. The common people rarely saw such a big battle, so they took a few more glances, but they didn't see any reason, so they didn't bother to look any further. Look here.
In front of the leading carriage, the little girl Jiang Xiao'an was holding a bunch of candied haws. She looked at the young man in black robe beside her and asked curiously: "Sir, is my master good-tempered? Will he be immovable? Just curse and hit people?"
Chen Chao's injuries have improved a lot these days, and his face has become much rosier. He finally doesn't look like he was worried about when he would lose his life at first glance.
But no one would think that the young martial artist in front of them was not sick.
After listening to the little girl's inquiry, Chen Chao thought for a while and said with a smile: "That guy has a bad temper and dares to scold everyone he sees. There is probably only one person in the world who can't and won't scold him anymore."
The little girl said smartly: "I know, that person must be an adult!"
While speaking, the little girl looked up at her father who was not far away, with a bit of pride in her eyes. She probably meant, look, dad, what I said is right. When you get to the capital of the gods, you will definitely have a prosperous official career. of.
Jiang Wanfu noticed his girl's eyes from a distance and was a little confused, but he still subconsciously smiled and nodded towards his daughter.
Chen Chao said with a smile: "That's not me. If that guy wants to scold me, he won't consider whether I am happy or not. He just scolds me."
The little girl wrinkled her little eyebrows and said to herself: "Is that so? Does this mean that the master I have never met is very powerful?"
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's because I have a good temper, but that guy's abilities are not low either."
When the little girl heard this, she chuckled, but then she said melancholy: "But sir, you still didn't answer my question."
Chen Chao slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"Although it is common for that boy to scold people, I think he probably wouldn't be able to scold such a cute little girl. Fortunately, you are a little girl. If you were a boy, it would be difficult to say that."
Chen Chao stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head. He also missed his little girl who had closed his discipleship.
This time I left the capital of God and walked for a long time from north to south. Although news about my disciples often came from time to time, it was not as good as going back to see for myself.
When he lost his mind, Jiang Wanfu had already walked over and said softly: "Sir, we are ready and ready to go at any time."
Chen Chao nodded and said: "This time we are heading to Shendu. I have already said hello to you. Song Lian will be waiting for you in Shendu. The appointment document cannot be approved until I return to Shendu. Please wait a moment. Wait, these days, you can walk around in the capital of God, and the imperial capital of Daliang is still worth a visit."
Jiang Wanfu nodded and said with a smile: "To be honest, that little girl of mine has been pestering me for a long time and asked me how many delicious food there are in Shendu. This trip to Shendu, if I take office immediately, I'm afraid I will have to ask It’s time for you to take leave, take your daughter around and buy some delicious food, and your wife at home also needs to buy some rouge and gouache..."
Chen Chao nodded and talked about food. For some reason, he thought of the girl named Zhu Xia again. He hadn't seen her for a long time. He guessed that the girl was already quite old now.
I just don’t know if that girl’s feelings are still there.
Chen Chao sighed, feeling sad.
Afterwards, Chen Chao said a few words to Jiang Wanfu as instructions, and then watched the carriage set off.
After the group left the town, Chen Chao glanced at the street corner and said helplessly: "Come out."
Not far away, a woman ran out from the corner of the street and smiled sweetly, "Sir, I hid so well, can you still see me?"
Chen Chao twitched his lips. At his level, not to mention this small town, even outside the small town, it all depends on whether he wants to know or not.
Besides, are you sure you hid it well? That pair of embroidered shoes is just exposed in front of others, obviously you want to be discovered, right?
Although he said that he knew, Chen Chao did not reveal anything. He just asked straight to the point: "Mrs. Hongyun has not been looking for you?"
Su Hu shook his head and said, "I've looked for it. Madam told me your thoughts. After I found out, I felt sad for a while. I don't know how many tears I shed."
Chen Chao frowned slightly.
Su Hu looked at Chen Chao in front of him with a smile, and said softly: "But what your lord said is right. Since you like a good and good girl like Miss Xie, you really have high standards and look down on me." It’s also normal.”
Chen Chao looked at the woman in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Actually, you don't have to compare with other women. Every woman is unique. It doesn't matter who is better than another."
It was originally a sincere statement, but what Su Hu said next left Chen Chao speechless.
"Lord Guardian, I just want to compare myself with that Miss Xie in your mind. Otherwise, why would you like her instead of me?"
Su Hu opened his eyes and looked extremely pure, like a clear lake.
Chen Chao sighed slightly, most things in the world can be solved with a knife, but once the word love is contaminated, it will be difficult to deal with.
But Su Hu soon smiled brightly, "But I know that I am much worse than Miss Xie, and I will definitely never be able to compare with her in this life. But I don't think the guardian envoy is the kind of person who would care about her because she is so cute." I just like someone, but I met Miss Xie first, and since then I can no longer accommodate other women in my heart. Among these women, I, Su Hu, am not special."
Chen Chao nodded, and he quite agreed with this statement. It was not a matter of first come, first served, nor was it because the girl he liked was the best in the world, but because he pretended to be a girl in his heart, he could not tolerate others. girl.
When Su Hu said this, she had finished everything. She waved her hand towards Chen Chao and said with a smile: "My lord, guardian envoy, have a pleasant journey. I hope to see you again when I have the opportunity."
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Goodbye."
After that, he turned around and left the town, but instead of returning to Shendu, he probably wanted to visit Tianqing County first.
After leaving that small county town, he went back once, but it was only in a hurry. This time he planned to go back and have a look.
How is your little courtyard doing now?
Su Hu stood there and watched Chen Chao leave. When he could no longer see his back, the tears in his eyes could not help but fall.
Mrs. Hongyun came from a distance and glanced at Su Hu. Her eyes were full of distress. The woman stretched out her hand to wipe the tears of the girl in front of her whom she regarded as her daughter, and comforted softly: "I don't blame you, I like you." Such a man, but who told you to like such a man?"
Mrs. Hongyun thought for a while, but she still didn't say something in the end, that is, you, Su Hu, will probably keep this matter in your heart, and it will be difficult to forget it for the rest of your life, but this is not the case with the other party, maybe he will never put it in his mind. This matter is regarded as a big deal and will not even be remembered for a long time.
Maybe one day, he will remember that there once was a woman named Su Hu who liked him.
One day a few days later, when he thought about it again, he only remembered that there was a woman who liked him.
Later, he couldn't even remember the fact that a certain woman liked him.
This is not to blame others, because in the beginning, he has already done a good job and never gave you the slightest chance. If you want to blame it, blame it on the person you like, who has never been in the same world as you.
…
…
Weizhou, Tianqing County.
The last spring rain has finished long ago. The rain now can be regarded as summer rain, but the weather is not necessarily hot and dry. This summer rain comes and goes even faster.
The owner of the cotton shop not far away from Peach Blossom Lane is a lean middle-aged man, like a skinny monkey. He also happens to have the surname Hou and is the third oldest, so people call him Mr. Hou.
At this time, the business of the cotton shop was at its bleakest. People were coming and going, and not many people would think of setting foot in this cotton shop.
However, Mr. Hou, who has long been used to strange things, doesn't care. In business, it is unrealistic to think about making ten years' worth of money in one go. It is unrealistic to think that business will be good every day.
So, if you are doing business, you have food to eat, you are not hungry to death, and you have some spare money, it is good to have a drink occasionally.
Speaking of flower wine, the prices in the damn city have gone up again. There's obviously no good-looking young lady here, so why are you asking for more cash out of thin air?
Mr. Hou sighed endlessly. Even though it was like this, he did not plan to raise the price at the cotton shop. He could go there less often to drink flower wine, but if the price at his own place increased, those who were already struggling to buy quilts for the winter would , I will definitely not buy it now.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
Actually no, it’s not that business will be bad, it’s that if there are more people, they won’t be able to survive the winters one after another.
Mr. Hou lay on the chair, looked at Xia Yu outside, and smiled, "It looks like I am still a good person. I will definitely not be left in the frying pan after I die."
"No, after you die, you will definitely have to fry it two or three times in a frying pan. After the whole bones are crispy, you will be crunched one by one by the kid."
A voice suddenly sounded. It was just words, but it didn't make sense at all.
"Who the hell is that? Why does it smell like shit as soon as you open your mouth?"
Mr. Hou stood up angrily, wondering in his heart. After the two plague gods, one big and one small, left in Peach Blossom Lane, no one knew that this area was the most difficult for him to offend. How come there are still people who dare to come here today without opening their eyes? Are you causing trouble for me in front of my shop?
But when he opened his eyes and looked ahead, he felt a little lost.
There is a man in black robe here who is collecting the oil-paper umbrella and placing it by the wall at the door. Then he steps into the cotton shop and tuts: "Old monkey, what's going on? After several years, the shop's business is still so deserted. Is it going to stop running? Tsk tsk, you are really pitiful. I think after your shop fails to open, your not-so-good-looking daughter will not be able to get married without a generous dowry. .”
At first, he was a little afraid to confirm before, but now after hearing these words, Mr. Hou was extremely convinced that the person coming was the boy who lived in Taohua Lane a few years ago.
"You he……"
Just when he was about to open his mouth to fight back, Mr. Hou covered his mouth sadly. The young man in front of him was the same person, but his identity was different.
The news that came out a few days ago is that the young man is already the governor of the Liang Dynasty. What kind of official is this? Mr. Hou actually asked about it at that time, and a boss from the county government made it clear that there were only a few people in the entire Daliang Dynasty.
Now, he can be said to be the most powerful person under the emperor.
Even if such a person is back now, no one would have the guts to treat him as the same guy he was back then.
Moreover, these days, he has been bragging to others from time to time that when the guardian envoy first came to Tianqing County, he was the one who provided relief!
Chen Chao glanced at Mr. Hou, frowned and said, "What's wrong, old monkey, you gave all your little courage to your mother-in-law on the bed?"
Mr. Hou was a little worried at first, but now he couldn't help it and cursed: "Your uncle!"
But after he cursed these three words, he actually regretted it. After all, this guy was really different from before. As soon as he cursed these three words, would he get himself into big trouble?
In the end, the young man just patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old monkey, you are quite courageous, not bad."
Mr. Hou was relieved, his back was soaked, but now he glanced at Chen Chao resentfully and said: "You kid, can you stop being so startled and scary? Damn it, what are you now? Is your identity not scary?"
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Is this scary? When I kill people, don't you have to be scared to death on the spot?"
Mr. Hou muttered: "We know that you are successful, and we are all happy for you. Why do you come back empty-handed after all this time?"
Chen Chao clicked his tongue and said, "You think I have a lot of free time every day. From north to south, I never take a break."
Mr. Hou thought for a while and nodded. He agreed with Chen Chao's statement. This guy was so promising at such a young age, and with the news that had come from time to time before, it was indeed not easy to come to terms with it.
Being an official is not that simple.
"Then what are you doing here this time? Come back and chat with us old neighbors now that you have time?"
Chen Chao sat down on the chair and let out a breath, "Some time ago, I almost died two or three times. I finally got through it, so I thought I would come and have a look. Maybe I won't have a chance in the future."
Mr. Hou frowned and cursed: "Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about? You bastard, don't you fucking die. You didn't protect us very well before, but now you have to protect the whole beam. You damn boy." If we die, who can we expect?"
Chen Chao asked curiously: "You're just pointing at me?"
Mr. Hou was startled, and then scolded: "What are you pointing at? Damn it. I can't speak, but I also know that I want you to live, not to rely on your protection. Who told you to live in the damn house?" Peach Blossom Lane?”
Although I didn’t grow up watching you, my feelings over the years were there. Even if you were not a guardian, even if you were just a beggar on the street, no one would want you to die like this.
Chen Chao smiled, stood up with some difficulty, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, work hard to live and find a peaceful life for you. I hope that when you see His Majesty the Emperor in the future, you can also scold him."
Mr. Hou was shocked and turned pale. He rushed to the door and glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping. Then he cursed: "Are you really crazy?!"
Chen Chao didn't say anything, just laughed.
…
…
In the capital of the gods, cicadas chirp again.
Over there in the bamboo building, two teenagers were sitting under the eaves, sighing.
In fact, it was the older boy who sighed more, while the younger boy only sighed after his senior brother sighed a lot.
Further away, there was a little girl who had grown much taller, with a small bamboo knife hanging on her waist. She was far away from her two senior brothers, as if she didn't want to be together.
The young man who was the eldest brother glanced at the young man beside him and suddenly said: "Xiao He, why don't we just stop doing this and give him..."
He Liang, who was on the side, heard what his senior brother said, and quickly reached out to cover his senior brother's mouth with a look of horror on his face, "Senior brother, what are you talking about? Uncle Yu is a great swordsman, let's not talk about taking action, he is looking at us One look and we are all dead.”
Yu Qingfeng took He Liang's hand away from his mouth and frowned: "Do you really think I'm a fool? I mean leave him here, let's run away, it's not a big deal to serve him all day long. , I don’t know if what he said is true or not, why do I feel that in that battle, our master must have contributed the most, maybe it was the master who saved his life, not him who saved our master."
He Liang thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Uncle Yu is not such a person, is he?"
Yu Qingfeng shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. Even though he is a high-level person, I always feel that he is not a good person. Xiao He, you have to be careful when traveling in the world."
He Liang nodded, but then he remembered something and said softly: "Senior brother, after all, I have been serving Uncle Yu these days, isn't it? Why are you reacting like this?"
As soon as he said these words, He Liang was slapped by Yu Qingfeng, "Silly boy, I feel sorry for you, can't you see this?"
He Liang was beaten, but he wasn't angry, he just smiled.
The little junior sister Ning Qingnian who was in the distance glanced here and sighed. Although the little girl is young, she can still see some things clearly. Her second senior brother has a really good temper.
At this time, two figures, one large and one small, appeared in the distance. The tall man stopped in the distance and glanced not far away. There was a man in official uniform who nodded.
Then the man knelt down and said a few words to his daughter, then stood up and watched his daughter walk forward on her own.
The two teenagers over there were still discussing whether to run away. The little girl here came over. When Yu Qingfeng saw it, she jumped down from the steps, walked over with a smile and asked: "Which little girl is this?" Girl, did you go to the wrong place? Do you want my brother to take you home?"
The little girl glanced at him, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still mustered up the courage to ask: "Excuse me, is Yu Dajianxian here?"
When Yu Xiyi was mentioned, Yu Qingfeng became furious and waved his hands: "There is no such person."
This friend of his master, after returning to the divine capital, occupied the magpie's nest and came to this bamboo building. The two of them have been taking care of him these days. No, to be precise, it has been He Liang. Taking care of this great swordsman who is already famous all over the world.
What's even more annoying is that the guy would talk to them about the previous battle from time to time, saying that if it weren't for him, his master would have died in Chixin Guan.
He felt that this was not credible anyway, but his junior brother felt that there was no problem.
The little girl was startled and frowned her little eyebrows. When Yu Qingfeng saw the other party like this, he softened his heart and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, where is the Yu Da Sword Immortal over here? Young lady, are you sure he is?" His illegitimate daughter? Here to find a bride? "
As soon as He Liang stood up and walked towards this side, he heard his senior brother talking nonsense, and quickly stepped forward to add to it: "Don't listen to my senior brother's nonsense, little girl."
Before the little girl could say anything, the door of the bamboo building over there was pushed open. The sleepy man looked displeased and said, "Who is making a noise here? I don't know that this swordsman is sleeping?"
The Great Sword Immortal rubbed his eyes, then saw the little girl, and smiled curiously: "Tsk, tsk, whose little girl is so pretty, where is your mother? Is she over here?"
As soon as the free-spirited swordsman opened his mouth, He Liang put his hand on his forehead. Hey, he had a headache.
The little girl over there was startled for a moment, then burst into tears, then turned around and cried: "Dad, I won't practice sword practice anymore!"
Yu Xiyi was confused, what was this talking about?
In the distance, the helpless man glanced at another martial artist beside him. The latter was a little embarrassed and his face was slightly red. "This great swordsman is so... approachable..."
After saying this, the current commander of the right guard, a powerful warrior, walked out bravely and said with a smile: "Yu Jianxian, this little girl's name is Jiang Xiao'an, she is the disciple that the guardian envoy found for you."
"What?"
Yu Xiyi was startled and immediately yelled, "That stinky boy, when did I accept a disciple and asked him to take care of it? Where are the others? Find them and let me give them a beating!"
Song Lian looked at Yu Xiyi seriously, and said from the bottom of his heart: "The guardian envoy said that if Yu Dajianxian is unwilling to accept him, then he has nothing to do, but if he embarrasses him, he might also embarrass Yu Jianxian..."
Yu Xiyi's expression remained unchanged, but he quickly looked at the little girl who was walking away. His figure disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the little girl.
The Great Sword Immortal squatted down and said with a serious smile: "Blame me, blame me, I made a mistake. This little girl is just a talent for practicing swordsmanship. Who wouldn't regret missing out on such a good talent? Well, well, well, I We also have to thank our commander. When he returns to the capital of the gods, I will definitely treat him to a good meal."
Song Lian smiled slightly. When the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter what the means are.
The man in the distance breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Qingfeng twitched his lips.
As for He Liang, he first glanced at the junior sister, then looked into the distance and rubbed his eyes.
He was now looking forward to his master's return to the divine capital.
