As soon as Gu Huai and the five of them had finished their lunch, Qin Fang came upstairs, approached the dining table, and asked happily: "Grandpa Gu, can we go now?"
"Gu Huai stood up and said happily: "I have been prepared for a long time. I am just waiting for your words. "
Fang'er smiled sweetly, stretched her hand towards the stairs and said, "Grandpa, please! Uncle, aunt please!"
Seeing Fang'er's gentleness and generosity, Xiao Ruoyun felt very cordial. He unconsciously held her little hand, and together with Yan Luoxia, they followed the three men downstairs.
When they got out of the restaurant gate, a waiter was waiting there driving an ox cart. When he saw Qin Fang arriving, he smiled and asked: "Young manager, are you ready to go?"
Fang'er smiled and replied: "Let's go."
The whip in the waiter's hand was raised slightly, and the ox cart started. The six people followed the ox cart and set off towards Lushan Mountain.
Leaving the small town and walking into the mountains, the green mountains and green waters are eye-catching, your mood is full of beauty, and your steps are naturally joyful.
The six of them were talking and laughing, chatting happily. They walked easily on the mountain road for more than 20 miles. Not far away, a thatched cottage appeared, which was very spacious.
Qin Fang stepped forward and ran away happily, with beautiful shadows all the way.
Gu Huai looked towards the thatched cottage and saw the scenery around the thatched cottage. It was so beautiful that he felt envious in his heart. He said happily: "These two old boys live in a really nice place."
The five people crossed the stone bridge over the stream, about fifty steps away from the thatched cottage, and saw a wooden sign with the three characters "Baicaotang" written on it. Three people were already standing under the sign. , two old men and a young man sandwiched between them.
When Gu Huai saw it, he smiled and leapt over in two vertical steps, landing five steps away from the three of them. He said happily: "Master Jiang, Doctor Cui, long time no see!"
Jiang Qing was on the left. Although her skin had some luster, her hair was already white. She blinked her bright eyes and said, "Gu Huai, you are a Yellow River carp, how did you swim to the Yangtze River? You are not afraid of not adapting."
Another elder, Cui Yongyue, with half-gray hair and a bright face, said: "Guhuai, the water of the Yangtze River is clear, and the water of the Yellow River is turbid. Don't stay in the wrong water area."
Gu Huai said with a smile: "Jiang Qingcheng, Cui Yongyue, when an old friend comes, it's okay if he doesn't greet you with good wine and tea, but he still speaks so harshly. Is it because good mountains and good water have raised the wrong good people?"
Jiang Qingqing smiled slightly and said: "Gu Huai, good mountains and good water can nourish your gray hair, otherwise don't leave in the future."
Gu Huai smiled and replied: "Yes! As long as this thatched cottage is willing to accommodate me."
Cui Yongyue saw Hu Yiqiu and Zhang Tianhao approaching and said: "Hu Yiqiu, Zhang Tianhao, Kuanglu Mountain is a place where literati and elegant people wander. Ignore the battles in the rivers and lakes, don't come to the wrong place."
Hu Yiqiu stepped forward and saluted: "Brother Cui, since this is the place where the spirit wanders, he must have no external thoughts, and he will definitely come here by mistake."
Zhang Tianhao then said: "If you live in a place with good mountains and good water, and everyone has their own place, they must have less selfishness and few desires, use Qi to be harmonious, focus on Qi to become soft, and use tranquility to cultivate movement."
Jiang clarified: "Now that you know the principle of resting and moving, you can go to the thatched cottage and taste tea."
The seven people entered the thatched cottage, each asked for a bamboo chair, and sat in a staggered manner. There was no distinction between young and old, and there was no distinction between men and women.
Fang'er served tea to the seven people, and led the waiters to move the wine and meat into the room. She gave a slight salute to the seven people and said, "Grandpas, I'm going back to the restaurant first."
Jiang Qingcheng waved his hand slightly, and Qin Fang understood, walked out of the thatched cottage, and drove away in an ox cart.
Gu Huai took a sip of tea and saw the child crossing the stone bridge in front of the door. He said softly: "Qin Haoming came out to commit suicide again. He teamed up with Zhang Yifan from Longhu Villa and killed Jiang Daogong from Longwei Escort Agency."
Cui Yongyue said: "Jiang Daogong is just running a bodyguard agency and smuggling goods around. He has nothing to do with Qin Haoming and Zhang Yifan, so why do he need to do this?"
Gu Huai said: "Zhang Yifan wanted to be the talker in the southern martial arts world. He felt that Jiang Daogong was blocking his way. He would not be able to feel at ease unless he removed this stone. As for why Qin Haoming wanted to harm Jiang Daogong, according to Zhang Tianhao, it was Qin Haoming who joined him. The killer organization wanted to recruit Jiang Daogong but failed, so here comes a man who would rather be broken than destroyed."
Cui Yongyue heard it, and Chao Jiang clarified: "It seems that Zhao Mingxiu broke your Pure Yang Palm, and the problem lies with Qin Haoming."
Gu Huai, Zhang Tianhao and other five people were extremely surprised. Zhang Tianhao asked casually: "Brother Cui, why did Zhao Mingxiu break Jiang Daxia's Pure Yang Palm? Please explain it clearly."
Cui Yongyue saw that Zhang Tianhao and Hu Yiqiu's eyes were bright and clear, so she gave up her worries and said: "Eighteen years ago, Old Man Jiang fought with Zhao Mingxiu. Zhao Mingxiu seemed to have practiced Pure Yang Palm. Every move of Old Man Jiang was defeated by him. It was easily resolved. It wasn’t that Old Man Jiang had superb internal strength, but he had already mastered Pure Yang Palm, and he almost walked out of Biluo Lake with his life lost."
Hu Yiqiu asked: "Brother Cui, did Qin Haoming betray his master and teach the Pure Yang Palm to Zhao Mingxiu?"
Cui Yongyue replied: "That's not necessarily true. If someone fights with Qin Haoming, the two are evenly matched, but Zhao Mingxiu hides aside to watch and dismantle, it is also possible."
Gu Huai asked Jiang to clarify: "Old man Jiang, are you healed of your injury?"
Cui Yongyue said: "As long as I am here, there will be no harm. Besides, if you have practiced Chunyang Palm to the level of Old Man Jiang, you have already opened up the Ren and Du meridians on your own. As long as you don't die, you can return to the original state."
Gu Huai smiled and said: "That's not bad. If it weren't for Biluo Lake, there would really be no rivals."
Jiang clarified: "Why didn't the child come back with you?"
Gu Huai replied: "For some unknown reason, Jiang Daogong left a will before his death and actually entrusted the Longwei Escort Agency to a child he did not know. The child felt that Jiang Daogong died at the hands of Qin Haoming, and Chunyang Clan had It is my unshirkable responsibility to take over as the chief escort of Longwei Escort Bureau, and help the agency find a way to survive."
Jiang clarified: "You didn't tell Ying'er about Qin Haoming, right?"
Gu Huai smiled and replied: "How can a niece like me dare to say it without your permission?"
Jiang clarified: "Let's eat here tonight and take you to the mountains for a walk tomorrow."
"I always said something human." Gu Huai finished the tea in the cup and said, "Does Bai Yutian know that Zhao Mingxiu hurt you?"
Cui Yongyue said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. That boy is better than his master. He is self-taught without a teacher. He has already practiced Qinglong to fetch water. Besides, he has the swordsmanship of Bai Tianyuyi Sword Sect to help him. That old guy Zhao Mingxiu can't do anything to him easily. .”
After hearing this, Xiao Ruoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Cui, do Bai Tianyu and his wife also live near here?"
Jiang clarified: "Why are you asking about this? Don't look for trouble."
Yan Luoxia said: "Master Jiang, Sister Ruoyun's daughter has fallen in love with your disciple Bai Yutian, and we hope to become a family in the future."
Jiang clarified: "Children have the final say in matters concerning children, and adults have the final say in matters concerning adults. They are not the same thing."
Gu Huai said: "Old guy, you don't have any gratitude at all. If it weren't for him, Hu Yiqiu and Zhang Tianhao, walking around in Poyang Lake and maintaining justice in the world, you would have been able to stay here for so many years just because of Bai Tianyu's fiery temper. Don’t forget about other people’s goodness after you heal your wounds.”
Jiang Qingcheng glanced at Zhang Tianhao and Hu Yiqiu, and said softly: "As long as those two children are in love, I, the master, can leave them alone."
Cui Yongyue stood up, glanced at Xiao Ruoyun and Yan Luoxia, and said, "If you don't get up and cook, it will be very difficult to get Old Man Jiang to do this."
Xiao Ruoyun and Yan Luoxia quickly finished their tea and stood up, took away several people's teacups, and followed Cui Yongyue towards the back.
Seeing Cui Yongyue walking away, Gu Huai said, "Lao Jiang, there is something we should talk about."
Jiang clarified: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Gu Huai said: "According to my guess, Dong Xiaowan is definitely a member of the killer organization."
Jiang clarified: "It's okay not to talk about this kind of thing."
Gu Huai said: "But her daughter Cui Yingying and your precious disciple are in love with each other and they got married in private."
Jiang Qingcheng shouted sternly: "Gu Huai, are you old and confused? Since you know this, why don't you stop it?"
Gu Huai said: "But that child is not only Dong Xiaowan's daughter, but also Cui Yongyue's daughter. Moreover, they are in love with each other. Even though I am reluctant, I can't give any reason to object."
Jiang Qingcheng stood up and shouted: "Gu Huai, are you going back as you live longer? When Qin Haoming was threatened by Ying'er, do you also want Bai Yutian to be threatened again?"
Gu Huai stood up and replied loudly: "Jiang Qingqing, I am not the roundworm in your belly. You didn't tell me how Qin Haoming turned bad."
Jiang Qingcheng sat down and said: "Forget it, the matter is over, there is no point in talking more. When leaving, remember to go to Yujing Mountain to bring the Liu brothers to Bai Yutian and tell him that even if his wife is dead, he can commit suicide for love. You must not be blackmailed."
Gu Huai said: "Those five monsters live in Yujing Mountain?"
"I don't care about poverty, don't care about wealth, and are cold and proud of the snow. Why not imitate Mr. Wuliu and plant some chrysanthemums?" Jiang clarified, looking at Zhang Tianhao and Hu Yiqiu, and said: "There is no need to tell Cui Yongyue about what happened just now. .”
Hu Yiqiu said: "Mr. Jiang, Brother Cui has the right to know this matter. If we conceal it, it will harm the morality of the world."
Jiang clarified: "Tell me, what kind of moral justice is more important than Cui Yongyue's life? Thirty-five years ago, his master most likely died at the hands of that evil organization, and now his wife and daughter have become that If a member of an evil organization knows about this and doesn't fight to the death, will he still be a human being?"
Zhang Tianhao said: "Don't worry, Old Hero Jiang, I will definitely keep it secret and never leak a word."
The four of them had just calmed down when Cui Yongyue brought five cups of tea. Seeing that the faces of Jiang Qingqing, Gu Huai and the others were expressionless, he asked, "Why are you so unhappy?"
Gu Huai took the tea and said: "Lao Jiang complained that I didn't bring the child back, and we started to quarrel whenever we disagreed."
Cui Yongyue sat down and said: "There is nothing to complain about. That child is so talented, I would feel it would be a pity if he didn't try his luck outside."
Jiang Qingcheng held the tea cup, drank it quickly, stood up, and said: "It's stuffy in the house. It's better to go outside and look at the surrounding mountains and rivers than to look at each other face to face."
Cui Yongyue and others got up, followed Jiang Qingcheng out of the thatched cottage, and walked towards the bamboo forest behind the house.
