Unknowingly, more than two months had passed. Yang Qianhui watched Jiaoqi practice hard. She gritted her teeth and practiced basic skills every day, and each move gradually became perfect.
Gu Shengchao went to the market to buy vegetables that day, and Yang Qianhui also had to practice in the evening. Fang Ju often made supper for her. During the day, both of them were at Yunqi Palace, and the shopping task was left to Gu Shengchao. Fang Ju was an expert in cooking and would serve the old man a portion every time she cooked it. They had known each other for a long time, but they knew that the old man's surname was Lu and he was usually very taciturn and rarely talked to them.
Gu Shengchao bought meat and vegetables and headed back when a young woman came towards him halfway. He looked familiar and immediately remembered that this was not the female shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce in Huaming City, a small border town in Xileng Country? The Chamber of Commerce refused to pay the tea they owed Qixingya, so they paid one hundred taels of silver under the coercion of Gu Shengchao, and tried to kidnap Amiao and Amei on the way, but Gu Shengchao subdued those people.
Thinking of this, Gu Shengchao quickly turned around and pretended to wait for the carriage to pass and walked to another street. Chen Qi passed by him without noticing. Gu Shengchao was relieved. At that time, he had a big beard. Now he changed his robes and shaved his beard cleanly every day. It was normal for him not to be recognized. Gu Shengchao wondered what Chen Qi was doing in the capital, so he pretended to go shopping and followed him.
Chen Qi walked in a hurry and soon came to a house. A servant opened the door and invited her in.
The ancient sage was so surprised that he stuffed the meat and vegetables into his arms, slipped out of the wall and jumped up gently to the roof of the east wing. This courtyard was larger than the one he rented, and there were servants pruning flowers and plants. He didn't dare to move rashly, so he leaned on the roof to observe what was going on.
"Mom Liu, where is my pomegranate skirt? Why can't I find it?" Chen Qi asked loudly in the main room.
"It's here. It's just in the box. It hasn't been touched since the last time the lady left." Mother Liu walked out of the east wing at the foot of Gu Shengchao and went to the main room to help Chen Qi find a skirt.
Not long after, Liu's mother found the skirt and warned: "Miss, you will stay for a few more days when you come back this time. You and my uncle have been married for almost two years, so hurry up and get pregnant. It will be reassuring to give birth to a boy and a half girl. "
"I am coming back this time to stay a few more days just for this matter." Chen Qi was a little shy and asked: "Mama Liu, you have watched me grow up. I trust you the most. When I am not in the capital, , Uncle, he is quite honest, right?"
Mother Liu praised: "Uncle Bai Peian is such a good person. Every day he either goes to Yunqi Palace or reads books and practices at home. He never runs around outside. I, Mother Liu, will keep an eye on you. Don't you worry, Miss?"
"I feel relieved to have Mama Liu here to help take care of it." Chen Qi has great trust in Mama Liu.
A servant quickly walked to the courtyard and whispered: "Madam, the master is back."
Gu Shengchao secretly looked at it, and a handsome-looking man strode over and said softly: "What are you busy with, Madam? Just ask Ma Liu and the others to do it. Don't tire yourself out."
Mother Liu stood up immediately and said with a smile: "My uncle is back, I won't disturb you. The lady said she bought a new dress for you to see how pretty it is." Mother Liu closed the window and went out to close the room. door to leave.
As the saying goes, a break is better than a wedding. A couple reunites after being separated. Gu Shengchao was not willing to eavesdrop on this. He was about to leave when he heard Chen Qi said aggrievedly: "I was bullied in Huaming City, so you just let them do it." Lawless, won't you make the decision for me?" Chen Qi's voice was extremely low, but the Ancient Sage's superb hearing could still hear him.
Bai Pei'an comforted her and said: "You also know the situation of Yunqi Palace. All businesses are run by the governor. Our instructors are not qualified to do business, let alone doing it for ourselves privately under the banner of Yunqi Palace, so That's why I wronged my wife and went to the remote Huaming City. Once this incident alarms Yunqi Palace, my instructor will not be protected, my property will be confiscated, and I will end up in a mess."
Chen Qi didn't believe it: "What does our business have to do with Yunqigong? How can we be afraid of him?"
Bai Pei'an sighed: "My lady, you don't know. Yunqi Palace has both black and white. Even the government is afraid of him. People in our outer courtyard sound very tall, but internally, we are like servants and have no status at all. I bully you." We still don’t know where this person came from, so you and I will investigate in secret first, and if we find him, we will make him pay back double and avenge his wife.” Then there was no movement, it was probably Bai Pei’an who was comforting Chen Qi, and later he said: "I've thought about it, let's stop operating it for another two years. By then you will give me a group of children, and we will be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing."
Chen Qi said charmingly: "Why wait until then? Can't we do it now?"
The ancient sage Chao heard the sound in the house and left with a blushing face.
In the evening, Fang Ju explained to Gu Shengchao what he had learned that day. He asked, "There is a teacher in your outer courtyard named Bai Pei'an. Do you recognize him?"
Fang Ju said in surprise: "Instructor Bai is teaching us kung fu now, how do you know about him?"
"I heard someone mention it when I was shopping for groceries during the day. I was just a little curious." Gu Shengchao told a white lie.
Fang Ju got excited and boasted about Bai Pei'an's martial arts skills. She suddenly realized that Gu Shengchao was the helper they invited, so she changed her words and said, "But, Bai Pei'an's martial arts skills are still not as good as those of Brother Gu. I will definitely not be able to withstand your fifty moves." of."
Gu Shengchao was not angry, but smiled and said: "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. After all, there is nothing wrong with learning with an open mind. I study with you every day too. After all, you are a big sect." , there is always something to be said for it." What Gu Shengchao said was true. He knew that his foundation was weak. Without Liu Ximei's help, he would not have been able to learn the Iron Arm Magic, and without Wan Ruo's help, it would be even less possible for him to master the Fengwu Sword Technique. She might not agree with what Fang Ju said every day, but Gu Shengchao listened to it with great interest and was of great help.
Fang Ju thought he was just being modest, so she stopped mentioning it and concentrated on explaining what she had learned that day to Gu Shengchao, which also played a role in strengthening herself. The two of them studied in the east wing, and Yang Qianhui started practicing basic routines in the courtyard again, practicing tirelessly over and over again. Old man Lu was still standing on the porch as usual, silently watching Yang Qianhui practice without saying much.
In the dead of night, a few people ate the chaos prepared by Fang Ju and went back to their respective houses to rest.
Gu Shengchao fell asleep as soon as he lay down. He was alert while sleeping, and felt a breath flash through the window. He suddenly woke up, put on his coat and leaned towards the window to look outside. Looking at the position of the tree shadows under the crescent moon, it's probably the time of Chou. A dark figure tiptoed to the east wing window, lit a slender stick of incense, broke the window paper and reached in. After a quarter of an hour, the incense was completely burned out, and then the man in black inserted a razor blade into the crack of the door and opened the door bolt, feeling confident and bold walked in.
"Oops, Old Man Lu is in danger." Gu Shengchao was about to go out to rescue him, but when he heard a "bang", the man in black flew out, crushed the flower pots placed on the steps, and fell heavily to the ground.
Old Man Lu coughed violently and walked out of the house on crutches. He held a wet towel with his left hand and threw it aside. He lowered his voice and said, "Bian Bald, I remember that you were brothers in the same school in Beihu Rao." As long as you live, you can’t let go of your greed and find yourself here.”
Bian Baldzi stood up with difficulty, his chest and robe were broken, probably because of a slap. He grabbed his sword from the air and sneered: "Lu Wanshan, everyone will punish you for your betrayal. You can let it go that day." I just want to gain a good reputation, and I won’t appreciate the fact that I have to kill you anyway.”
Lu Wanshan sighed, shook his head and said: "You and I are bound to die after all. We may not live for more than three to five years. Why bother fighting to the death and spend the rest of our lives well?"
Bian Tuzi disdainfully said: "The hall master has an order. As long as I kill you and take back the Feng Wu sword, no matter who it is, she will marry that person. If I kill you and take back the sword, the hall master is my woman. Why should I care about the rest of my life, even if There’s only one day I can die without regrets.”
Gu Shengchao was shocked. It was recorded on the stone wall of Luo Ya Bay Cave that the Phoenix Dance Sword was lost by Sun Ran, the last protagonist of Fengming Villa. He was ashamed of his ancestors and chose to be autistic in the cave. Which sect stole it? ? The ancient sage listened attentively.
Lu Wanshan looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly: "An old woman can make you all confused and obsessed with her. It seems that I made the right choice back then." He shook his crutch, and the bottom fell off, revealing a thin and narrow handle. With his long sword, "I originally planned to live alone with this secret, but with you as my companion, I will not be alone on the road to hell." He jumped up and stabbed Bian Bald with the long sword.
Bian Tuzi raised his sword to parry, and the two of them fought together. The ancient sage watched the battle carefully. The swordsmanship of the two men was somewhat similar to the right-hand swordsmanship of the Shuangjianmen disciples of Shen Tuhong, but not exactly the same. It seemed that the Fengwu swordsmanship was the same as the Qiuhuang sword. Changes have occurred in the process of inheritance of the Dharma, resulting in uneven differences among the various schools.
Lu Wanshan seemed to have an internal illness. After a while, his internal strength was a little weak and he kept coughing. Bian Baldzi was carelessly attacked by a surprise attack, and the chest injury made him worry. Gu Shengchao thought for a moment, then opened the door and went out to use his iron arm magic to attack Bian Baldzi from behind. Bian Baldzi watched all directions and listened in all directions. He flew and kicked in an attempt to force Gu Shengchao back. However, the iron arm magical skill was already invulnerable. Gu Shengchao was full of internal strength and struck down with his palms. Bian Baldzi's ankle broke instantly. He endured the severe pain. Following Lu Wanshan's move, he flew onto the roof and escaped.
"You don't have to follow." Lu Wanshan warned and chased after him.
At this time, Yang Qianhui and Fang Ju also rushed over with swords. Seeing Gu Shengchao, they asked anxiously: "What happened just now? Is there a bad guy coming to attack?"
Gu Shengchao comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid. Old Man Lu chased him away, so he should have chased him."
Yang Qianhui and Fang Ju whispered that this old man Lu was hiding something secretly. Gu Shengchao pondered not letting him follow him. Could it be that he was afraid that he would know the ulterior secrets between their sects?
While the three of them were waiting, Lu Wanshan jumped from the roof with a sword in his hand. He was gasping for air and had difficulty breathing. Fang Ju quickly moved a chair for him to sit down and rest. Gu Shengchao found a scabbard for the sword and put it on, and the walking stick returned to its original appearance. After a pack of cigarettes, Lu Wanshan finally regained his breath, and his flushed face gradually became normal again.
Fang Ju brought the tea and handed it to Lu Wanshan with both hands, and said softly: "Old man, please drive away that bad guy."
Lu Wanshan took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "Drive him away, he will never come to harass us again."
"Great, just run away. This old man is really powerful." Yang Qianhui was naive and did not understand the meaning of Lu Wanshan's words. Seeing that the danger was over, she led Fang Ju back to sleep.
Lu Wanshan looked at Gu Shengchao and said, "Did you hear what we just said?"
Gu Shengchao nodded.
"I've been coughing more and more recently, and I guess my end is coming. I've been getting along with you these days, and I know that you are all kind-hearted people, and you can be trusted." He looked at the yard and said with nostalgia: "If I didn't You guessed it wrong, the owner of this house must be in trouble, and I really won’t be here one day, so you should keep the things in the main house and give them to a child named Wan Yan Xi in Beihu if you have the chance."
Lu Wanshan stretched out his crutch and wrote Wan Yan Xi's name on the ground: "She is a girl, smart and smart. Unfortunately, God was jealous and caused congenital blindness. If her family were killed, her life and death would be unpredictable. Whether she can be found depends on fate." Now." He walked back to the house slowly on crutches, muttering: "God is jealous of talented people, God is unfair!"
