After washing up, Xiao Yu lied down and practiced his Shape-Bone Disguise Skill a few times as if it was official business. He also silently recited the moves and formulas of Yunjian Jue and Qi Lingbu before lying down and starting to think:
'Sure enough, this trip was not in vain. That person in Guan Qiguan behaved upright that day, and was not the kind of villain who goes back on his words, so he accepted the request to lead people to withdraw from Dongxing Mountain. Unexpectedly, they were attacked by a sneak attack afterwards. Today, the group investigated and found out, and they were able to explain it to the brothers in the village. Let's get some sleep first, and get up early tomorrow morning to go to the Jinhu Villa that Qiguan mentioned, to send him a message.
According to Qiguan, their leader should live in Jinhu Villa. It is strange that the leader of Xuantian Sect, Jing Zhaoyue, does not live on Dongxing Mountain, but in Jinghu Villa at the foot of the mountain. But these things are not something you should worry about. Just take the letter with you. As Qiguan said, after half a month, the big fish will surface? Could it be that Xuantian Sect is going to conduct an internal purge? That's all, when I see Jing Zhaoyue, I'll ask him when he can hand over Wen Jinchun and give an explanation to the brothers at the foot of the mountain.
There are rumors in the world that Jing Zhaoyue is a man with unrivaled martial arts skills and that he is also a big devil in the world. What does this alternative 'big devil-Ji Ruge' look like? ...'
In Xiaoyu's daze, he gradually fell asleep, and it was the next morning when he fell asleep.
There is no need to elaborate on the words "washing up like a respectful person".
This day is March 12th.
The weather was nice, the mist was thick, and it was raining early. I put two thick steamed buns on the breakfast table in Qianchun Tavern, took the sword I brought from the village, chewed the steamed buns a few times, reined in my horse and left the hellebore town. , and went straight to the Jinhu Villa that Qiguan mentioned.
The Tingzhou Waterhouse where Jinghu Villa is located.
Xiaoyu's horse was tied under an old pine on one side, surrounded by weeds in the nearby swamp shrubs, so that the horse could eat well before having the strength to return to Daojiazhai later in the day.
Xiaoyu shook the thorngrass fruit stuck to his body all the way through the forest and grass, clapped his hands, frowned, raised his eyes, knitted his brows, and muttered: "Qiguan, Qiguan, you old man calls this 'not far away' Where? It's a few miles away at least! This is a swamp, there's no place to rest.
There is no place, how can an average person in this place get by? "
"Hey..." Xiao Yu sighed heavily, "Fortunately, Qi Lingbu's Qing Gong is not based on internal strength. Otherwise, flying such a long distance with Qing Gong would be exhausting."
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he picked up his sword, took a deep breath, jumped up, tapped on the branches of the short shrubs growing in the middle of the swamp, and flew all the way to Jinhu Island.
In about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yu had already crossed the swamp, and the area behind was a river beach. There were no trees growing in the water. Fortunately, the distance was not long, and Xiao Yu landed steadily on the river beach.
Weighing the long sword in his hand, he picked up the scabbard and poked the cobblestones on the ground, "It's still comfortable to step on. Fortunately, it's not the snake swamp under the ancient pine cliff of Moyun Mountain, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fly over with Qinggong."
Xiaoyu picked up the sword and touched the jade pendant given by Qiguan in her arms, and then walked to the island with confidence.
There are lush forests and bamboos, peaches and plums blooming, flowers blooming, and spring is full of joy.
"It's a good thing, this Jing Zhaoyue is too damn good to enjoy it." Xiao Yu shook her head and sighed.
Walking along the bluestone path through the bamboo forest, Xiao Yu arrived at a dam in the plum blossom and red forest. At the entrance of the small courtyard paved with cobblestones, a middle-aged ancient banyan tree stood in the sky. On one side stood a stone with the words "Jinhu" engraved on it. A big character.
The red-lacquered door was ajar, but Xiaoyu stepped forward, grabbed the copper ring on the door, and knocked lightly a few times.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no answer. He had to knock a few more times, but still no one came. Then he took a step forward and pushed the door open.
After entering, Xiaoyu was still surprised by the shallow spring road lake and elegant buildings inside. The inside was even more of a good place, and it was worthy of the title of Jinhu Villa.
Xiao Yu looked at the vast space inside, but there was no one to guard it. After calling out "Is anyone there?" several times, there was still no response. Then she continued walking into the villa, along the small lake in the middle of the villa, and passed a purple bamboo forest. He walked all the way shouting 'Is anyone there? '.
After passing the purple bamboo forest, we arrived at a rockery with gurgling water and a small main building with a rotating waterwheel. Only then did we see people.
"Someone, someone! Stop, who are you?" A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old hurriedly agreed, and then jumped out of the bamboo building with a little girl of about ten years old, and stood on the bamboo steps of the bamboo building. , looking down at Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu looked at the two girls, clasped his fists and asked: "Little girl, don't be afraid, I'm here to deliver a message, and please lead the way to meet your adults." Xiaoyu muttered inwardly, there were rumors in the world that Jing Zhaoyue came alone. He went alone, had no wife, and had no heirs. These two girls were in Jinhu Villa. Could it be that the news in the world was wrong and that these two girls were his daughters?
When Xiao Yu was confused, the girl replied to Xiao Yu: "How did you come to our Jinhu Villa?"
"How else could I come here? I flew here with Qinggong." Xiao Yu frowned and replied.
The girl frowned and muttered: "She is quite capable." Then she added, "Come with me, I will take you to find my father."
Xiaoyu cupped her fists and thanked: "Thank you very much, girl. I don't know what to call her."
The girl replied: "My name is Qian Duoduo, and this is my sister called Jizi. What's your name?" Qian Duoduo's eyes were clear and ethereal, and he looked at Xiaoyu with a smile, with a look of joy on his face. After all, after so many years, this young man in front of him He is the first person to visit Jinhu Villa.
Xiaoyu replied: "My name is Xiaoyu. I have a lot of work and money. Girl Duoduo will lead the way." Xiaoyu thought to himself: This girl's name is really good. She has a lot of money. Looking at the prosperity of the villa, she is a master who is not short of money. She really has a lot of money. ah.
.....
The three of them arrived at a vegetable garden and saw a middle-aged woman working in the garden, using a hoe to weed the soybeans inside.
"Mom, where is my dad? Someone is looking for him, saying he is here to deliver a letter." Qian Duoduo turned around and pointed at Xiao Yu behind him, "Well, this brother, his name is Xiao Yu, said he was here to deliver a letter."
Hearing this, Li Cuihua frowned and walked out of the vegetable garden. She was dressed in coarse cloth and wrapped in an apron. She leaned the hoe in her hand to the edge of the vegetable garden and asked Xiaoyu: "Little brother, are you sure you are doing this?" Are you here to deliver a letter to Jinghu Villa?"
Xiaoyu nodded and replied: "Send a message on behalf of Mr. Qiguan. This is evidence." Xiaoyu took the jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.
Seeing this, Li Cuihua hurriedly rubbed her hands a few times on her apron, wiped the dirt on it, took the jade pendant, looked at it a few times, nodded, then returned the favor to Xiao Yu, and said to her daughter: " You have a lot of money, you take this young master to the living room, I will call your father and young master, don’t forget to make a cup of tea for this young master.”
"Okay." Qian Duoduo took his sister's hand and replied with a smile, "Mom, do you know where my father and brother Yue are?"
Li Cuihua shook her head and curled her lips and said, "How would I know? Why don't I go to Zhuangzi to look for it?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and replied: "I'm fishing under the bamboo forest in the north."
Li Cuihua nodded and said to Xiao Yu: "Little brother, follow my girl to the living room and wait a moment. I will go find my young master right now."
Xiao Yu nodded and followed Qian Duoduo all the way to a small pear flower courtyard.
In the living room of Lihuayuan of Jinhu Villa, after Qian Duoduo made tea for Xiao Yu, he took his concubine out to play. Xiao Yu was the only one waiting there drinking tea.
Not long after, two people came to the door of the living room, one old and one young.
The older one is Lao Qiantou, and the younger one is naturally Jing Zhaoyue, the leader of Xuantian Cult.
