"Thank you sir for the rescue." Xie Wule escaped from the panic and saluted the middle-aged man to thank him. If this middle-aged man hadn't stopped Shan Xiuge just now, even if he hadn't died, he would have been lying in a pool of blood.
"This is my duty, you don't have to do this." The middle-aged man picked up the long sword and small hammer from the ring, put them back on the weapon rack and asked casually: "The sword technique you just used was the Tai Chi of the Song family. sword?"
Xie Wule's body trembled. Song Weiwei had once said that this Tai Chi Sword should be passed down from one person to another, but he never thought that it would be famous all over the world. When he first used it, he never thought that it would be recognized. He was not Song. Family, he didn’t know how to answer at this moment.
"If it's not convenient for you to say it, there's no need to say it." The middle-aged man walked off the stage and sat next to him.
Xie Wule then discovered that the middle-aged man wore a black and white mask on his face, with only two eyes exposed. He thought it was because it was easy to make enemies in this job, so that was it. Although the man told me not to worry about it, it was a life-saving grace after all. After Xie Wule stepped down, he saluted him again.
After leaving the martial arts training ground, Xie Wule looked up at the sky and smiled slightly as he thought of something.
He did not choose to go back to the inn, but walked in the opposite direction. Not long after, Xie Wule came to Shu Mansion. This was the place Song Weiwei had told him. Although the mansion occupies a small area, the fact that it is of such size in this imperial city where every inch of land is precious shows that Song Weiwei's mother's family is also quite well-off. Back then, she and Song Weiwei's father must have been what others called the golden boy and girl.
On the street, Xie Wule stared at the mansion in a daze, and stood up for a long time, planning to come back in a few days. He had only been in the imperial city for three or four days, so he did not want to disturb Weiwei's reunion with her relatives.
"Husband!" Song Weiwei happened to meet Xie Wule on the street corner who was about to leave, and she cried out happily: "Why are you here?" The two of them were like newlyweds. Although they had only been separated for three or four days, they were also very happy. Just like that, I miss each other all the time.
"Weiwei, who is this young master?" Shu Yiyue frowned slightly and looked at Xie Wule. Naturally, she heard how Song Weiwei called Xie Wule. As a mother, it was inevitable to be surprised when her daughter was so close to someone she didn't know and even called him husband.
Only then did Song Weiwei realize that she was going shopping with her mother today. She was so excited that she had forgotten about it. The red glow spread from her face to her neck. Holding the corners of his clothes with both hands, he hesitated and did not say why.
"Madam, I am..."
"You're already here, let's go inside and sit down before we talk." Xie Wule was about to speak when he was interrupted by Shu Yiyue and said quietly.
Shufu, lobby.
"Weiwei, please go out first. Grandpa has something to talk to you, the young master." Shu Yuanhua, who was sitting in the hall, looked at Xie Wule and said with a serious face.
"Grandpa~, is there anything I can't do for you?" Song Weiwei didn't want Xie Wule to stay alone in the house, for fear that he would be embarrassed. Grandpa loves me the most at the moment. Thinking of this, Song Weiwei said coquettishly.
"Weiwei, be obedient." Shu Yuanhua's voice was a little harsher than before.
Song Weiwei looked at her mother aggrievedly, hoping that she could help her and let her stay.
Shu Yuanhua naturally noticed Song Weiwei's little thoughts and looked at Shu Yiyue: "Nizi, get out too!"
Shu Yiyue stood up and took Song Weiwei out with her. When she got to the door, she didn't forget to close the door.
Only Xie Wule and Shu Yuanhua were left in the lobby, and the atmosphere was grim. Xie Wule didn't know what to do and sat frozen in the hall.
Shu Yuanhua squinted his old eyes and looked at Xie Wule. After a long time, he finally said, "You just said your surname is Xie, right?"
"Yes."
Shu Yuanhua's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes flashed: "Did you know that the previous emperor was also named Xie?"
"Junior naturally knows." Xie Wule felt as if he had been seen through by the old man in the hall, and his eyes averted, but he still tried his best to look more natural.
"There are not many people named Xie in the world. Since your surname is Xie, don't you have anything to do with the previous emperor?" His daughter Shu Yiyue was wronged after getting married and ran home. Now he doesn't want his granddaughter Make the same mistake again. All possibilities must be ruled out.
"Old man, what you said is wrong. There are indeed not many people with the surname Xie in the world, but there are not many, and not everyone is related to the previous emperor."
"That's natural." Shu Yuanhua breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to Xie Wule's words, this kid seemed to have nothing to do with the previous dynasty.
"But I do have something to do with it. The former emperor is my father!" Although Xie Wule didn't know the position of the man in front of him, he still recognized his master after raising a beast for a long time, and if he didn't even have his biological parents, If you don't admit it, wouldn't you be worse than a beast? Besides, if he wants to marry Song Weiwei, then sooner or later these things will have to be shown off. So Xie Wule didn't hide it.
After hearing this, Shu Yuanhua couldn't help but trembled. Fortunately, he was sitting on a chair, otherwise he might have fallen. He leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes: "Really? Have you ever thought about revenge? Restoring Da'an?"
"Of course I have a plan! It's impossible not to avenge the murder of my father and my mother! What's more, they have no intention of letting us go! Besides, there are many people who have placed their hopes on me. How dare I live up to them?" Xie Wule said Definitely.
"In this case, it is impossible for Weiwei to marry you!" After hearing Xie Wule's answer, Xie Wule will eventually become the target of public criticism, and Weiwei will only have to endure hardship if she follows him. Shu Yuanhua would naturally not agree.
Xie Wule was silent. He also knew what kind of situation he was in. There would be many risks for Song Weiwei by his side. He didn't have enough ability to protect her now, and he was afraid that he would end up like Yu Cheng.
Thinking of this, Xie Wule felt sad, with tears in his eyes, and he lowered his head.
Shu Yuanhua squinted his eyes to take in all this scene, and sighed: "Seeing that you and Weiwei truly love each other, I don't want to beat them up. So, Weiwei will follow us first, and wait until you change." If your heart comes here again, I will agree to you marrying her." In the end, he agreed to Yiyue's marriage, hoping that he would not make a mistake again this time.
Xie Wule wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and raised his head: "Old man, please take good care of Weiwei. When I succeed, I will marry her!"
"Weiwei is my granddaughter. We and I will take good care of her, but you, how can we be so sure that you will succeed?"
"Many people hope for it, and everyone hopes for it!" Xie Wule thought for a while and then said: "If I don't come back within three years, then marry Weiwei to a good family." If he fails, he will definitely die. Although he is reluctant to let go, he can't keep it forever. Delay the beauty.
"As expected? Ha!" Shu Yuanhua smiled disdainfully: "I am over seventy this year, and I naturally know how the past two dynasties were. Da'an when your father was in power was not worthy of what everyone expected! Those who expect you to revive Da'an People may have sincerity, but most of them just miss their free salary back then! If you don’t believe it, take a closer look at what kind of people they are, and then see if any people want to return to Da’an!”
Before Xie Wule could recover, Shu Yuanhua said again: "You go, no matter how you choose, I will give you three years because of Weiwei's feelings for you!" After that, he leaned back on the chair again and closed the door. eyes.
"Thank you, old man!" Although Xie Wule was a little angry at those words, he still agreed to his request, so he naturally thanked him.
Xie Wule walked out, and Song Weiwei and her mother sat and waited under the pavilion in the courtyard. He strode over without hesitation: "Weiwei, wait for me to marry you!"
Song Weiwei was naturally happy when she heard this, but seeing that Xie Wule's face was not good-looking, she asked with concern: "What did my grandpa just say? He didn't embarrass you, did he?"
"You didn't make things difficult for me. The old man agreed to our marriage, but we just need to wait for a while." Xie Wule felt much better when he saw Song Weiwei, and said with a smile: "Then I'll leave first."
"Husband, won't you stay with me for a little longer?" Grandpa agreed, and Song Weiwei shouted boldly even though Shu Yiyue was right next to her.
I haven't seen Xie Wule for a few days, so I naturally thought about it day and night. I finally saw him today, but most of the time he was talking to his grandfather, and he was kicked out again. Now Xie Wule will leave as soon as he comes out without chatting for a while. Naturally, Reluctant to part with it.
"Don't I have to prepare to marry you?" Xie Wule himself didn't want to do this, but still comforted him.
Song Weiwei thought for a while, then smiled happily: "Hehe, I'll give it to you then!" After saying that, she grabbed Xie Wule's arm and walked towards the door of the mansion.
door.
Song Weiwei hugged Xie Wule tightly: "Then you should hurry up and get ready to marry me! I'll wait for you!"
Xie Wule also hugged her, and the fragrance from his arms made him more determined. He said softly: "Don't worry, I will marry you as quickly as possible."
"Well, I believe you."
The two hugged each other.
On the way back to the inn, Xie Wule made up his mind to return to Ningping City immediately today to meet with Meng Wenchu and others to discuss strategies. While waiting for Brother Xu, try your best to improve your strength.
"Drive!" Xie Wule clamped his legs and the white horse galloped.
Yunbian City, city gate.
A group of silent merchants pulled a truck out of the city. The city gate is not big, and only trucks can come out first before people can pass through. Song Mingxing and Dahuang were waiting aside.
Are there so many silent people in this small border town? Aren't they mostly gathered in prosperous towns near the imperial city?
Song Mingxing suddenly stepped forward and stopped a truck: "Wait a minute!"
Mo Ren regarded Song Mingxing as a buyer and said, "Brother, our goods are not for sale."
"No, I'm not interested in your stuff. I just want to ask what's going on with the kid surrounded by your stuff?" Song Mingxing looked at the silent man coldly.
When the truck passed in front of him just now, he accidentally saw a child inside with his legs tied with cloth strips through the gap between the goods. Recalling what he had heard during his time at work, he immediately became alert.
