early morning.
Mohist martial arts gym.
In other words, it should be the Gu Family Courtyard, or another name rarely mentioned, the Health Pharmacy Store.
In the past, due to its reputation, this small courtyard seemed to have a certain brand. When it was mentioned, it would naturally come to mind that this was one of the martial arts schools where Mo Qiu stayed for many years and served as the owner. location.
Even though the martial arts school no longer opened due to various reasons and Mo Qiu began to establish the Mo family and spread it all over the world, this brand has not faded away, just like the former residences of some sages.
If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual.
It doesn’t matter whether the residence is gorgeous or not, it just depends on who has stayed there, and everyone will naturally rank it according to the most famous one.
But now, perhaps this issue should be taken into consideration again.
Because there is another martial arts master hidden here who has not been revealed for fifteen years.
"Buzz~"
With a soft sound, the small courtyard door, which had not been installed for a long time, was pushed open, without the familiar creaking sound it had made over the years.
The newly installed wooden door is exquisite and elegant. The black bird outlined in moon white is lifelike and mysterious. From a distance, the black bird seems to be floating in the air, and each tail feather seems to be swinging in the wind.
The eyes dyed with vermilion paint are extremely conspicuous in the light and holy moon white, which always makes people focus on them involuntarily. Everything is fading in a trance, only those eyes are more real and bright, even if they know that they are When painting, it is inevitable to be immersed in it. The so-called finishing touch is nothing more than this.
The pretty and graceful figure squeezed open the courtyard door, with a bun stuffed in her mouth and four or five in her hands.
Not long after the buns came out of the steamer, they were inevitably a bit hot. The girl's big eyes rolled around, and her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but raise high. Her little tongue restlessly licked the small gap in the buns, which was plump but also hot. As the soup touched the tip of his tongue, he couldn't help but secretly open his small red mouth, taking the opportunity to secretly inhale some cool morning air in the unfilled space of the bun. The pleasure and pain of struggle coexisted on his pretty face, lively and agile.
"cough!"
Xun Ke, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, couldn't help but cough slightly when he saw this scene.
The expression on the girl's face froze, and then she quickly walked up to Xun Ke, stretched out her delicate, slender and white hands, and held two buns on them, shaking them.
"uh-huh!"
Xiaoying made an unintelligible sound in her throat and signaled Xunke to hurry up with her eyes.
With a look of helplessness on his face, Xun Ke let go of the new stone lock, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his body first. However, he handed over the buns and warned in a low voice: "Since you can't carry so much, don't take so much! Give it back to the princess, Why is there no etiquette at all?”
"snort!"
Xiaoying snorted coldly and raised her eyebrows. She finally had a free hand and did not rush to remove the bun from her mouth. Instead, she punched Xun Ke first.
Then he took off the bun from his mouth and kept breathing in: "It's burning me to death, it's burning me to death!"
The plump soup of the buns made the already red lips shine, and the girl's voice was full of youthful vitality.
Xun Ke's face couldn't help but darken.
It was okay if Qin Lisheng came to bully him before, but now suddenly the daughter of Mr. Gu's old friend came to bully him too!
Is he just easy to bully? !
Thinking like this, Cang, who could already walk, staggered over and raised his head, seeing Xiaoying's movements, he looked thoughtful.
"ha!"
Cang stretched out his small fist, exhaled and stopped his voice, and aimed at Xun Ke's calf.
Watch me punch hard!
"."
Xun Ke's face was dark and deep.
The older one couldn't beat him, the one in the middle was a girl, and the younger one was a little one who couldn't even speak easily.
If you catch him bullying him alone, you will never be able to survive this life!
"Hey, Cang."
Xiaoying knelt down and pinched Cang's little face full of baby fat, "Uncle Gu, are you up? I brought steamed buns for him to eat!"
Since arriving in this small courtyard that day, she has not been back. After spending more than a month together, she has become familiar with several people in the courtyard.
In addition, her personality is not that of a lady in the conventional sense. Xiaoying can always find something fun to do for herself, and she does not seem bored.
Not far away, Qin Lisheng noticed a few people here gathering together and murmuring, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's great to be young.
The big hole caused by the aftermath of the previous battle has long been filled in. The broken courtyard gate has been replaced with a level that only the royal family is qualified to decorate. The dead Imperial Guards have also been carried away. Everything seems to have remained the same, but it is different. .
The wooden door of the house was pushed open, and Gu Dan walked into the small courtyard.
Still holding a volume of Daozang in his hand, it seemed that life had really returned to normal.
"Uncle Gu!"
Xiaoying obediently ran to Gu Dan and raised her palm, "Hey, the buns I brought for you!"
It's still different after all.
After Lin Xiaoyi went to see King Yu that day, all the imperial troops surrounding the place were quickly withdrawn.
Emperor Zongming was also laid to rest at an extremely fast speed. The process was relatively hasty, but the specifications were not lacking.
It is said that the coffin buried in it was an immortal coffin found by Qing Pingzi in the early years. Although it did not sound very auspicious, Emperor Zongming at that time still had the idea of placing it in the palace as a daily resting place.
In the end, Eunuch Fang gave up his unreliable idea after his persuasion. Now he has got what he wanted, enough to make him smile, right?
To a certain extent, Prince Yu—oh no, he should be called the new emperor now.
The new emperor can be considered a filial son.
After ascending the throne, the new emperor did something.
The first thing is to arrest Mo Qiu.
The second thing is amnesty for the world.
Of course, Mo Zhe, who has always shown outstanding loyalty to the emperor and the country, was only temporarily deceived by Mo Qiu. He did not realize that this man was ambitious and should not be implicated.
The new emperor is generous and only punishes the first culprits!
What he didn't expect was that this "weakness" that should have been poked in the spine not only did not become a scandal, but also saved a little face for the royal family's reputation among the people, which was already at its lowest point.
Everyone praised the new emperor as a master of martial arts.
On the other hand, Mo Zhe has indeed never made any mistakes. Compared with the previously indifferent Emperor Zong Ming, the new emperor at least looks like a human being.
Gong Shangguo was released from the prison on the same day. He didn't show any sadness after learning about Mo Qiu's feat.
That grandfather in the sense of blood has brought trouble to the world.
If he could have died twenty years earlier, perhaps there would have been no such crisis as the country is in today, and maybe he could have left a legacy of heroic fame for future generations to admire.
Being too alive is not necessarily a good thing.
It's just that Gong Shangguo didn't choose to stay here. The country will not be the country, and he still has the blood of the Dayue royal family in his body. He really can't calmly watch everything end, even if he can save a few more. Everyone is good.
It happened that he made two new friends among the people, who were still waiting for him to go back.
Let him see how far the people of Dayue can work hard. He can also help them, at least let those who can't survive live a better life.
A big tree that has grown for more than two hundred years will not die in an instant, and the scattered dry branches and leaves will eventually become new nutrients, nourishing a sapling that may reach towering heights.
But before that, someone still needs to take care of it.
So when Gong Shangguo said goodbye and left, Gu Dan did not stop him.
Xu Zhian has also gone back, after the new emperor completed the first two conditions for agreeing to Gu Dan.
Xu Zhian is not alone. He has his own family business, and his children cannot live with him for too long.
In order not to worry my family, I have to go back anyway.
After returning, Xu Zhian was quickly promoted to the position of imperial physician.
After showing enough strength, enough goodwill will soon come to you.
It seems that the bloody fight some time ago was just an illusion.
"Thank you."
Taking the bun from Xiaoying, Gu Dan nodded.
Before taking two bites, the luxurious courtyard door was pushed open again.
A pretty and graceful figure strolled over. When Xiaoying saw the person, she immediately rushed over and called happily: "Mother!"
Lin Xiaoyi rubbed the little girl's head and walked up to Gu Dan. There was helplessness on her delicate face. She bit her red lips lightly and said, "Brother Gu."
Now her identity has also changed dramatically. It is not an exaggeration to say that she can fly on a branch and become a phoenix.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, the third thing that did not attract much attention from outsiders was to establish her as queen.
From a humble doctor in the imperial hospital, to the concubine of King Yu, and then to the queen of the new emperor.
Everything seems like a dream!
Although there was some hard work on her part, she knew exactly why she was able to reach this position.
Therefore, when friends are strong, small ones can be relied upon.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
Without Gu Dan's strength that makes people look up to her, she would not have been able to obtain the position of Queen of the Mother World without anyone to rely on.
To a certain extent, her kindness was rewarded, and it was a generous reward without any expectation.
However, Gu Dan's attitude towards her remained the same as before.
Neither close nor distant.
She can come if she wants to, or if she doesn't want to.
Even though the new emperor had taken back the old site of Qingfeng Temple and gifted it to Gu Dan, he couldn't be tempted in the slightest and he didn't even take a look.
He is neither tempted by beauty nor bothered by wealth, and his strength has reached the level of a martial arts master.
Apart from being able to show off the friendship a little bit, there seems to be nothing that can impress him.
"You're here? Take a seat wherever you want."
Gu Dan said hello to Lin Xiaoyi with a calm expression, sat on the stone pier and looked at Daozang as if there was no one else around.
The new emperor showed enough sincerity, but that was not because he had a kind heart.
Simply because he showed strength far beyond what he could bear.
You can lift the table to get a seat at the table!
So after the new emperor fulfilled the first two conditions, Gu Dan temporarily suppressed his murderous intention and spared his life for the time being.
This temporary show of goodwill may turn into fangs and pounce at any time, and Gu Weizhong also knows it.
Lin Xiaoyi, who is already closely related to the new emperor's camp in various senses, will naturally not get much preferential treatment from him. Not turning him away is a favor to the old friendship.
Lin Xiaoyi leaned next to Gu Dan, and the fragrant breeze blew towards her face. The queen of the mother world said helplessly: "Brother Gu, the two conditions you mentioned before have been fulfilled, and only the third condition is missing. , when can we go to the palace?"
Gu Dan's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "When I want to go."
Lin Xiaoyi lowered her head, feeling a little at a loss.
Since the Forbidden Forces withdrew that day, she has been coming here several times a day.
It's not that she wants to annoy Gu Dan to death, it's simply because Mr. Ji keeps urging her.
However, Gu Dan was not moved at all. Although the real immortal books were placed in the Sutra Pavilion of the palace, there was no need to rush. The moon was not dead yet, so what was the rush?
"Brother Gu, you've been saying this for two months." Lin Xiaoyi stayed beside him and said aggrievedly.
"It's only been two months, why are you so anxious? Is it possible that the immortal classics can still run away?" Gu Dan finally took a look at her.
Even if there are immortal books, what use are they if there are not enough spiritual stones?
It's nothing more than gaining experience first, it doesn't make much difference whether it's earlier or later.
He is still very young and is not in a hurry to seize the day.
The most important thing is that it is obvious that the palace has at least one martial arts master, and they even openly spread the word that they want to accept him as a disciple.
If he dares to say such big words, Gu Dan'ao can kill him!
"It's not that I'm anxious, it's Mr. Ji who is very anxious. If you don't go, Mr. Ji will have to come to see you. It's just that he is afraid that you will misunderstand, so he never comes." Lin Xiaoyi was very helpless.
She got enough benefits, but she also had to be sandwiched between the royal family and Gu Dan and become the mouthpiece.
Even though she is a queen, she still has to be polite to others, right?
Neither side is easy to mess with, she is the only one in a dilemma.
"What, he is going to die of old age?"
Gu Dan, who had been silent all this time, finally cheered up and asked politely.
"Lao Ji has lived through three dynasties and is indeed older." Lin Xiaoyi said after considering it.
"Yeah?"
Gu Dan nodded and said, "Then can I wait until the day before he is about to die before going?"
"."
Lin Xiaoyi did not answer, and could only tell Gu Dan with her eyes that that was absolutely impossible.
The royal family showed enough goodwill, and that was because Mr. Ji nodded in agreement.
As a remnant of Dayue's three dynasties, Mr. Ji is unquestionable in terms of strength, qualifications, and loyalty. He is enough to influence the new emperor Dayue, whose foundation is unstable and precarious.
Once Gu Dan goes beyond Mr. Ji's tolerance limit, all the previous good intentions will inevitably come to an end. This is really not what Lin Xiaoyi wants to see.
It's not good for her or Gu Dan.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Gu Dan finally relaxed.
"real?!"
Lin Xiaoyi was overjoyed. After such a long time, even the clay figurine should persuade him!
"real."
Gu Dan nodded, but it was not because Lin Xiaoyi came to invite her again and again.
Just because so little time had passed, the grandmaster kept urging him and even wanted to come to the door in person.
It seems that the martial arts master of Otsuki is indeed dying soon, and it is not possible for him to lose all his patience.
A dying grandmaster, once he really doesn't care about him, is enough to make anyone afraid.
"Let me take a look and see how powerful the martial arts master who accepts me as his disciple is!"
